Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 63

“It was September at this time. Shi Niang just got out of bed, and before she was dressed, she wore her old clothes and bowed to the brothel keeper twice. Li Young Master also bowed. One husband and one wife left the gate of the brothel.”

　　”This is exactly: the carp takes off the golden hook, and it swims with its tail and head swaying, never to return.“

　　The voice of Nan Yuanxi was resounding throughout Shengwen Square. Maybe it’s because his cultivation level has just been promoted, and his True Noble Qi is stronger, or maybe it’s his second time to tell the tale, his heart may be gushing with emotions, but he can already control it. Nan Yuanxi’s storytelling then became more rhythmic and has a more story-like charm, even more than before. Master Wang, who had already heard it once, also closed his eyes and enjoyed it leisurely.

　　At this time, the Shengwen Square was quiet, and there was not even a trace of sound. It must be known that even if a great Confucian preaches some scriptures, some students will share their experiences privately and create noise, but at this time, no one made a sound.

　　They looked at Nan Yuanxi who was on the pulpit with all their attention and listened to the story, as if they saw a lively Du Shiniang standing in front of them.

　　This is the feeling that the boring classics have never given them.

　　They eagerly wanted to know what would happen next and wondered if Du Shiniang and Li Jia would become an immortal couple.

　　At the edge of the square, Zhou Hongda’s face turned a little redder. He was wary of the new story, but his emotions are also being swayed by the story. He looked at Yang Ziting next to him and saw that the other person’s eyes were red and his heart was filled with joy. He asked, “Yang Ziting, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this article?”

　　Yang Ziting shook his head and replied, “No. Ten years ago, I met a woman who was also a courtesan. I fell in love with her, but in the end, the story did not end well. Hearing Mr. Nan talking about Du Shiniang, I remembered this past incident. I feel great remorse in my heart!”

　　Zhou Hongda was stunned, stopped making any sound, and continued to look at the pulpit.

　　…

　　Nan Yuanxi felt that the length of his pause was already enough, and continued on. When it came to Sun Fu’s appearance, his wolfish nature, and his intentional friendship with Li Jia, all the students in the audience clenched their fists and frowned, their blood boiled, and even the female student grabbed the arm of the male student beside her and bit it down. The male student was about to release his True Noble Qi. But he saw that it was the girl he had loved for a long time, he couldn’t help but let go of his True Noble Qi, so that the other party could bite a softer arm…

　　At this time, Tian Haiyi, who was standing in another place, had a solemn gaze, and the blue light in his eyes flickered. In his view, the scholastic aura of the entire Shengwen Square became much stronger in an instant. This is the Wen Yun left by the great Confucians who have preached scriptures here for thousands of years, and now it has been inspired.

　　”Wen Yun is resonating!” Tian Haiyi sighed, “These students today are blessed…”

　　…

　　Nan Yuanxi became more and more warmed up. When he said that Sun Fu coaxed Li Jia with eloquent words, and finally asked Li Jia to agree to go back to discuss with Du Shiniang, the repressed slow tone he used to narrate this part made the pressure in Shengwen Square drop; When he said Du Shiniang was heartbroken and agreed to Li Jia’s request, there were bursts of crying in Shengwen Square, including the suppressed voices of male students; When the treasure chest was finally thrown into the river layer by layer, and when Sun Fu and Li Jia were angrily scolded, Shengwen Square seemed to be surrounded by a layer of emotions called “anger”…

　　In the end, when Du Shiniang hugged the treasure chest in her arms and threw herself into the river, looking at the eager eyes of the students, Nan Yuanxi said tearfully—

　　It’s a pity that a famous courtesan who is like a flower and a jade, is now buried in the belly of a river fish!

　　Life on earth is easily forgotten in the greater course of things, and when life ends the soul enters the underworld!

　　Nan Yuanxi finished the story, and Shengwen Square was dead silent.

　　But a moment later, a burly male student suddenly stood up and roared up to the sky——

　　AAAAAH!

　　This shout seemed to cause an explosion in the Shengwen Square, and all the students vented their emotions for a while, crying, roaring, and wanting to go back to the dormitory to get weapons… The scene was chaotic for a while. ”

　　Tian Haiyi was about to shout when suddenly a blue light lit up on the square. It was from the first male student who had just raised his head and screamed.

　　”Me? I broke through?” The student was surprised at first, then ecstatic, “I broke through!”

　　At the same time, a few more groups of blue lights lit up. And after every blue light, there is an excited voice: “I broke through…”

　　…

　　One after another, one voice after another, many voices were mixed together. Their voices included surprise, disbelief, and joy. There were male voices and female voices. All voices were almost the same. Yes–

　　”I broke through!”

　　Tian Haiyi watched this scene in disbelief. You must know that the students of Zheliu Academy are naturally gifted. Basically, they will definitely reach the poetry realm before the age of 20. But at this time, there were no less than 100 blue lights flickering in the square. Tian Haiyi glanced at it. Sixty percent of them were young students who had just entered the academy. They were able to break through right to the last few stages of the Self Revelation Realm, and looks like they have advanced to release their qi externally. There were also about 20 percent that were in the writing realm, and about 20% of the writing realm who can now condense their qi. With just a little hint of inspiration, they might be able to enter the poetry creation realm.

　　At this time, the previously activated Wen Yun rushed towards the students. These Wen Yun will reinforce the foundation of this group of students and raise their future upper limit.

　　”These people need to be cultivated well!” Tian Haiyi was delighted. He knew that Wang Qifeng never made false statements, but he didn’t expect that the opening of the forum would be so effective.

　　”This Nanyuan Xi must stay! There is also the Lord of Wan An… never mind, let’s leave that matter to the head of the school!”

　　Just when Tian Haiyi was secretly doing calculations in his heart, another blue light flickered on the edge of the square and shot straight into the sky, instantly suppressing the many blue lights on the square. Tian Haiyi’s eyes narrowed, he raised his steps and instantly appeared in front of the azure light.

　　The person who emitted the blue light was Yang Ziting who defended Wang Qifeng before. At this time, Yang Ziting had tears in his eyes and didn’t care about the blue light all over his body.

　　”Ziting, are you… have you crossed the second mountain and sea and advanced to the  ‘Progression’ level of the Fuzi Realm?” Tian Haiyi looked surprised.

　　The three levels of the Fuzi Realm: Enlightenment, progression, and preaching.

　　Yang Ziting is only fifty years old now, and now he has been promoted to the progression level. He has hopes that he can reach the third mountain and seas of books, and progress to the preaching level by the age of sixty.

　　Masters in the preaching realm before the age of sixty can be called preparatory Great Confucian Scholar, and they will definitely receive more resources to support them in achieving the next realm.

　　And this Yang Ziting, in addition to being the master of the academy, also has a second identity, that is, Tian Haiyi’s disciple.

　　Although Yang Ziting had an extraordinary talent in the eyes of the senior management of the academy, they all found that there was confusion in his heart which if he cannot address, he will never have hopes to achieve the Great Confucian Scholar realm. Looking at Yang Ziting now, there were tears in his eyes, but there was no trace of confusion.

　　When Yang Ziting saw Tian Haiyi, he bowed and said, “Teacher, this student is ashamed. Ten years ago, because I was burdened by my studies, I disregarded the beautiful woman I loved. I was lost and I didn’t know if my decision was right or wrong. Today, when I listened to Mr. Nan’s narration of Du Shiniang, my lost heart was retrieved. The student wants to marry this beauty, I ask the teacher to be our matchmaker!”

　　Looking at Yang Ziting, who was bowing down and did not dare to come up, Tian Haiyi suddenly raised his head and laughed: “Don’t worry! Don’t worry! Marry!”

　　Tian Haiyi turned around and looked at Shengwen Square. At this time, several blue lights lit up, like fireworks in the night sky, exploding one by one, which fascinated Tian Haiyi’s eyes for a while…

　　…

　　Wenchang Pavilion.

　　Kong Tianfang, the head of Zheliu Academy, who looks like a landlord and an old wealthy man, was commenting on Chen Luo’s two poems, “A Song of Bamboo to Gift the Soldiers Heading to Wanren City” and “The Poems of Heavy Rains,” and suddenly moved his sleeves which hid the seal of the academy.

　　Kong Tianfang took out the first seal of the academy with doubt and saw qi overflowing from his seal. Kong Tiafang just had just pressed the seal when his disciple transmitted a voice message – 

　　”Teacher, come back soon, our Zheliu Academy is going to explode…”

　　Hearing the words, the head of the House of Representatives looked at Kong Tianfang. Kong Tianfang frowned slightly. He clicked the seal of the academy again and saw a picture, which was the picture of Shengwen Square. The faces were not clearly visible on it, but it could be seen that the azure light with the image of promotion almost enveloped the whole picture.

　　Looking at the gazes of the heads of other academies, Kong Tianfang covered his excited hands with his sleeves, and said slowly, “Never seen the world before, only a mere group has been promoted, and he’s already saying that it’s exploding…”

　　”Old man, go back and have a look…”

　　After Kong Tianfang finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared.

　　”This Kong Tianfang actually used the great Confucian supernatural power to ‘walk a thousand miles’!”

　　”Let’s go together and take a look?”

　　The heads of the other academies looked at each other, activated the Great Confucian supernatural power, and all disappeared in place in an instant…
