Sima shook his head and waved his hand, signaling Cheng Zhiyuan not to talk nonsense about how that black fox rogue could be Zhao Qian's brother-in-law. If he talks about this randomly, if it becomes a royal rumor, he will be held accountable.

Fortunately, Cheng Zhiyuan did not continue to make any nonsense, but told Sima everything that had happened before. At the end, Cheng Zhiyuan also said: "I also know that if you, the military commander,

It is unrealistic for the Sima family to convict a Wang Changsun. After all, you have to rely on others to pay wages, and sentencing is Sikou’s business."

"I am from Xingxiu Mansion. Although Xingxiu Mansion is directly subordinate to the Saint, I am also a nominal subordinate of Sikou. If Zhao Qian comes and says that I am committing rebellion, I am afraid that I will have no choice but to resign my position as a demon slayer and defect to another country.

.”

Sima laughed: "It's normal to defect to other countries, but you said that I rely on Zhao Qian to get my salary...well, salary means salary, right? This colloquial expression is a bit interesting, but you are wrong, I do not have military power.

, and my salary cannot be cut off by Zhao Qian alone."

Cheng Zhiyuan raised a question, and Sima explained: "Do you know about Jixia Academy?"

"Jixia Academy! Of course I know. I was planning to go to Jixia Academy to have a look after delivering the cloth. I heard that in the spring of next year, there will be a big exam in the academy, and there will also be several saints coming."

Cheng Zhiyuan nodded, and when he heard these words, the eyes of the little girl next to him who were still a little confused suddenly lit up.

Sima noticed her change, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. He still talked to Cheng Zhiyuan: "Since you know it, do you understand it?"

"I came back temporarily from Jixia Academy. My salary was jointly distributed by all the countries in the world. In the Jixia Academy of Qi, almost all the talents from all countries are there. They listen to the words of the saints and follow the saints.

Personnel, study the Dao, cultivate the Dharma, know the heavenly rituals and read the regulations, even the king of Qi can't cut off the salary of Jixia Academy. A mere Zhao Qian is just the eldest grandson of the king. Even if he wants to kill me, that's not the case.

Wait until he really becomes the King of Zhao before he can touch me."

"You can't make any big move yet. You have to trick me back first, and there is a legitimate reason, such as visiting relatives. If you want to directly put the entire Sima clan in prison, then the resignation letter I handed to the academy will definitely state this.

At that time, all the princes in the world will attack with words and words, and saints from all over the world will rise up. Does Zhao Qian want to dominate the world with one man?"

"He is not a fool! Otherwise, how could he let go of your attack on him now? He paid for the bones with a thousand dollars, and you are the horse bones. And what happened here, he can write about it secretly, so

Everyone in the world knows his reputation as a virtuous man, and this is not only a talisman, but also an effective means for him to suppress Gongzi Jia."

Cheng Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said to Sima: "That's a good relationship! It turns out that the academy has so much power! Do you think I can go in and fool around?"

Sima smiled and said: "With your swordsmanship, it's not difficult, but there may be problems with the written test. If you want to go to the academy, you must read more books. Otherwise, when you ask about the principles of heaven and earth, you will hesitate.

What should we do?”

"Jixia Academy accepts students, and there is a major exam every other year. If a new student fails the exam, he will be expelled from the academy and will never be admitted. Therefore, although the threshold for the academy seems to be extremely low, there are

The difficulty of the assessment is rare in the world, so there is absolutely no mediocrity."

"If an incompetent person is expelled, he will never be able to claim to be a member of the academy. Otherwise, his reputation will be ruined, and there will be no place for him in this vast world."

Eight points to the earth, and nine fields point to the sky.

This means that if someone pretends to be someone from the academy, once someone exposes him, his reputation will be ruined and the whole world will spit on him!

Cheng Zhiyuan also became unusually serious at this time and nodded seriously. Sima said again: "In the spring of next year, the first day of February will be the day when the big exam begins. At that time, Emperor Donghuang Taiyi of the Kingdom of Chu will come to the academy in person to meet with the Emperor Qi Yuan of Qi Kingdom.

, Shaohao, the White Emperor of Qin State, and Haotian God of Luoyang, held a meeting of the four emperors and jointly opened the examination papers of the Academy..."

Cheng Zhiyuan was immediately stunned. At the same time, he was extremely shocked by the transcendent status of Jixia Academy in these years!

These four emperors all have extremely high status in the history of mythology, but they all came together just because the exams at Jixia Academy were about to start. This made Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly wake up and asked:

"There won't be any disciples of gods in the academy, right?"

Sima was a little stunned: "When the Four Emperors come to this world, the disciples of Shenmen will naturally participate."

Cheng Zhiyuan asked seriously: "What should we do if they cheat?"

Sima was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, waving his hands repeatedly without responding. At this time, the little girl next to him was a little excited, but also a little fearful and saluted Sima, and then asked: "Can... can you accept a woman?"

?"

Sima then looked at her squarely: "Take it, but you need three strips of bacon as an entrance gift to enter the palace."

The little girl suddenly shouted, Sima said: "If you can't even afford three pieces of bacon, it means you can't even feed yourself. In this case, it's better not to go to the academy. Survive first is the right way. The academy should take the exam

It starts every five years, so there’s no need to be nervous for just a moment.”

The little girl bit her lip, looked at the bag of corn, and finally put down her clenched fist. Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly remembered her family's affairs, so he thanked Sima and explained at the same time: "There is something else I need to do, I'm afraid

Go to her home."

Sima was a little funny: "It's not a good sign for a demon-slayer to enter the common people's houses. Some people are very particular about this thing. If you go to her house, are you afraid that there is a demon in her house?"

This is a joke. After all, Handan is the residence of saints, so how could a demon appear?

However, the speaker was unintentional, but Cheng Zhiyuan said seriously: "It is indeed a bit abnormal. After she left, I opened the door of her house, but I could no longer hear the sound of her old father reading, and only the darkness came into my eyes.

"

"It is dull and ignorant, and there is no bottom, as if there is an abyss ahead."

Sima was immediately surprised and directly questioned: "How is this possible? Handan is the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, and several saints guard it. How can a monster appear here?"

Cheng Zhiyuan: "It's not necessarily a demon. I don't feel the demonic energy, but it's extremely abnormal..."

"Abnormal... hmm? Is it weird?"

Sima was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the little girl. At this time, the little girl heard the conversation between the two, and her face had already turned pale. She said directly: "No, it's impossible. When I came out, the room was fine...

.”

Cheng Zhiyuan: "I'm afraid your father's illness is caused by that strange black abyss."

Sima said to her: "No need to worry, it's very strange and not difficult to deal with. Now that we have encountered it, as one of the Sima family in charge of the military, I can't mobilize military power anymore, but I still have the right to know about this matter.

You go with her first, and after I report it to Sikou, I will get something that may help you subdue this monster."

Cheng Zhiyuan was a little surprised: "Wouldn't everything be fine if I killed him with one sword?"

Sima shook his head: "Hey, the reason why the monster is called a very strange thing is because...forget it, you go and deal with it first. After dealing with it for a while, you will know."
