Chapter 878 Yuedan Review
[Wo Long] and [Phoenix Chick], whoever gets one of them can pacify the world.
He who obtains the [Qilin Talent] can obtain the world.
Mo Cheng immediately realized what kind of trouble this title of [Qilin Talent] would bring him.
Mo Cheng didn't know who got the two titles, [Wolong] and [Fengchu], but it was obvious that [Qilin Talented Scholar] had already stepped on their names, which was inherently disliked by others.
Whoever gets the [Qilin Talent] can get the world. This statement would at least cause the petty-minded king to feel bad. After all, if he could get the world by getting the [Qilin Talent], no one would care who he wanted to pass the throne to.
As for the others who want to step on Mo Cheng to become famous because they see that Mo Cheng is a rookie but has such a huge reputation, there are probably more of them.
Before he demonstrates the ability to match his fame, there will be countless people who want to become famous through him.
but ……
For Mo Cheng, it seems to be a good thing.
He was worried about not having enough experience points. Although the experience points gained from [defeat] were not as much as those from [kill], they were still considerable in the long run.
However, when Mo Cheng recalled Taoist Wei Yi's always stern face, he found it hard to imagine that Taoist Wei Yi, who looked like an old scholar, was so unrestrained and uninhibited when he was young.
But thinking about it, it is also possible that Taoist Wei Yi got drunk when he was young, and his boasting was recorded by others. After all these years, he has not found a disciple who can match his boasting, so he ran away from the academy to practice Taoism...
This kind of thing doesn't seem impossible.
Mo Cheng glanced at Tushan Yi. The fox student in front of him was probably a fan of Taoist Wei Yi.
Tu Shanyi took out another booklet from the pile of books again . "The previous one was the three lists of heaven, earth and man drawn up by the [Tianji Pavilion]. This one is the [Yuedan Review]. I have read it. Brother Mo is also reviewing it."
[Yuedanping], Mo Cheng was very familiar with this thing. It was an activity hosted by famous scholars and celebrities to evaluate and praise or criticize the deeds, skills, and articles of contemporary figures.
[Yuedanping] is often published on the first day of each month, so it is called [Yuedanping] or [Yuedanpin].
No matter who it is, once it is evaluated, its value will increase a hundredfold, and it will be circulated among the people and regarded as a good story.
As long as a scholar is commented on in the [Yuedanping], his reputation will rise, and he can then enter the officialdom with this reputation.
This can be regarded as a kind of alternative form of "selecting filial and honest people" and "selecting virtuous and talented people".
At the same time, Mo Cheng could also see that [Yuedanping] was ostensibly an evaluation of talented people, but in reality it was the Confucian school expanding its influence on public opinion and establishing its own dominance over public opinion.
That is the so-called [cultural front] and [public opinion front].
It is even possible that [Yuedanping] is a publication promoted by Confucianism to compete with [Tianjige]. After all, [Tianjige] alone ranks the [Three Lists of Heaven, Earth and Man] and holds great power in public opinion.
"Tsk tsk, there are talented people among the Confucians. But it's not surprising. The Confucians are engaged in education, and public opinion is also a part of education."
I don’t know if there are similar publications in Buddhism and Taoism.
With such doubts in mind, Mo Cheng opened the booklet of [Yuedanping]. This booklet was much thinner than the [Three Lists of Heaven, Earth and Man]. Obviously, the comments of [Yuedanping] and the ranking of [Tianjige] were two different things.
The Confucian School is well aware that it is impossible to defeat the [Tianji Pavilion] in the field where it has been operating for many years, so it opens up another track to avoid conflict with the [Tianji Pavilion] while establishing its own voice.
Mo Cheng flipped through a few pages and saw the evaluation of himself.
Name: Mo Cheng, courtesy name Shouxin.
The students of Jixia Academy are like the great and brilliant Eight-toed Kylin.
Mr. Long Luan: Summoning three heavenly thunders to break the black tide is benevolence, and using the secret treasure to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to reshape the earth is righteousness. He is a sincere gentleman with both benevolence and righteousness.
Mr. Kan Jing: If you can get [Qilin Talent], you can get the world. I haven’t seen Mr. Wei Yi for a long time. I wonder how much knowledge his students have inherited?
The head of Jixia Academy: His academic performance is mediocre, but he has a chivalrous heart. If he wants to study further, he should go back to the academy and study for a few years.
…
In [Yuedanping], apart from the identity of the person being reviewed, there are only a few words of evaluation from the reviewer.
Mo Cheng didn't know who those great scholars and celebrities were, but he could see that they seemed to be adding fuel to the fire.
In addition to some dissatisfaction with the title of "Qilin Talent", there are also comments that seem to be harmless but are actually sarcastic.
Mo Cheng looked up and asked Tushan Yi, "Brother Tushan, may I ask about the reputation of the Eight-toed Kirin among the Confucianists..."
Mo Cheng raised the [Yuedanping] in his hand. The meaning was very clear. He was asking how many of the people commenting on it had conflicts with Taoist Wei Yi.
Tu Shanyi didn't seem to realize that Mo Cheng was not addressing Taoist Wei Yi as "Master" or "Master", but as "Eight-toed Kylin" in the third person. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering, "Except for the head of Jixia Mountain, most of the people who commented on it are like Mr. Wei Yi..."
Tu Shanyi paused for a long time before finding a relatively tactful way to say, "Mr. Weiyi was a master of both literature and martial arts, and he overwhelmed all the academies. When discussing the heroes of the world, he sang while drunk and said that whoever got the [Qilin Talent] would win the world..."
Now Zi Mo Cheng understood, completely understood.
"Then here." He pointed to the [Yuedan Review] and asked, "How many are there on it?"
"Except for the head of Jixia Mountain, the rest are..."
Mo Cheng quietly put the book away, and at the same time wondered in his heart whether he should tell others that he was not actually a disciple of Taoist Wei Yi, so that those great scholars and celebrities could secretly cause trouble for him, be sarcastic to him, or even add fuel to the fire for him.
[Yuedan Review] In addition to the fact that the head of Jixia Mountain asked him to go back to school to repeat his studies as soon as possible, his intention was to protect him.
As for the others, they are all just that, and when they are evaluated, there is some personal grudge involved.
What did Taoist Wei Yi do to them in the first place ? He still kept on holding on to them after so many years, and even targeted his disciples.
Well, Mo Cheng guessed that when Taoist Wei Yi was still a student of Jixia Academy, he defeated other academies in both civil and military aspects, and then silently comforted himself in his heart that his disciples would definitely be stronger than Wei Yi's disciples in the future.
Taoist Wei Yi came out to say that the [Wolong] and [Fengchu] that you taught are useless, and at best they are just talents who can [bring peace to the world].
My disciples will be the ones who can conquer the world.
I don’t know how much Taoist Wei Yi drank at that time.
Mo Cheng shook his head and put the matter aside. After all, he didn't have to worry about having too many debts. If someone wanted to cause trouble for him, it would obviously be something he would be happy to meet.
"By the way, I noticed that most of the books in the boxes behind Brother Mo are about local customs and practices. I wonder?"
"I plan to go to [Nanli Daoyu]." Mo Cheng said it directly without any intention of hiding it.
But upon hearing Mo Cheng's destination, Tu Shanyi seemed quite surprised, "[Nanli Dao Territory]? Now? There's a war going on there."
