Chapter 679

The teacher opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but the words reached his lips and he couldn't say them.
It seems that what Lu Yang said also makes sense.
"Then how to explain the heaven-opening axe? Ying Ying Tian Xian couldn't have used an axe to split a road for the sky, shouted 'This sky was opened by me', and collected toll fees, naming the axe the heaven-opening axe!"
The teacher remembered the origin of the heaven-opening axe. No ancient book recorded why Ying Ying Tian Xian named the immortal axe the heaven-opening axe. This is a mystery that plagues their ancient history scholars. The naming is varied.
Some say Ying Ying Tian Xian once used the immortal axe to split the sky, separate chaos, divide yin and yang. Some say that when the immortal axe was refined, there was a heaven-opening vision, and all spirits worshiped. Still others say Ying Ying Tian Xian held this axe and could re-refine the world, evolving earth, fire, wind, and thunder... Ancient historians argued about this and never had a conclusion. All were guesses, without evidence.
"Because Ying Ying Tian Xian felt that this name was very cool. Does this need any reason?" The Decayed Fairy looked at the teacher, puzzled.
Although she has always felt that moves and magic treasures don't need fancy names, and being simple is quite good, like 'Feigning Death Technique', 'Fairy Fist Technique', etc., Ying Ying Tian Xian always felt that the names of moves and magic treasures must be cool, such as 'Heaven-Opening Axe', 'Chaos Furnace', 'Universe Bell'.
"Ridiculous! What kind of person is Ying Ying Tian Xian? The naming must have deep meaning!" The teacher obviously didn't believe the Decayed Fairy's statement, which was simply absurd.
"For example, the legendary Chaos Furnace, clearly recorded in ancient books, Ying Ying Tian Xian once used this furnace to refine chaos, so it was named Chaos Furnace!"
"You are talking about the Chaos Furnace. That's because I..." The Decayed Fairy subconsciously exposed her identity. Halfway through, she felt it was inappropriate and changed her words temporarily, "That's because Ying Ying Tian Xian cooked a chaos with the furnace, so he named it Chaos Furnace."
Chaos, one of the four ancient evils, is as famous as Qiongqi.
The Decayed Fairy still misses the Chaos Furnace. When cooking, if she doesn't use the Chaos Furnace, she always feels like something is missing.
The teacher hesitated for a moment and didn't refute. He suddenly remembered that Ying Ying Tian Xian seemed to have written a "Cooking Encyclopedia", which mentioned how to cook chaos. It seems to make sense.
Could it be that Ying Ying Tian Xian's naming level is really that low?
"Lu Yang, since you claim to have some understanding of ancient history, dare you come to my Imperial Academy for an academic discussion?"
The teacher's name is Ye Gu, not a member of the Meng family, but a history scholar at the Imperial Academy. He came to the Meng family to be a private school teacher simply because the Meng family paid a lot of money.
"Now?"
"Now!" Ye Gu was hit one after another by the Decayed Fairy and wanted to go to the Imperial Academy to seek help.
As soon as these words came out, the Meng family disciples below cheered.
The teacher returning to the Imperial Academy meant there was no class today.
Ye Gu glared at this group of little brats and asked people to distribute the printed test papers, and suddenly there was another wail.
The Xia Di did not enter the private school. He waited outside, and then saw Lu Yang walk out.
"Where are you going?"
"Going to the Imperial Academy. This person thinks my ancient history is quite good and wants me to go to the Imperial Academy to give a lecture." The Decayed Fairy said happily.
The Xia Di's eyes were strange. The Imperial Academy is full of old pedants with foul and hard tempers. Can they invite Lu Yang to give a lecture?
"I asked you to come to my Imperial Academy for an academic discussion!" Ye Gu corrected.
"Aggressive tactics, I understand." The Decayed Fairy saw through Ye Gu's non-existent little thoughts at a glance.
As Lu Yang's follower, the Xia Di naturally followed to the Imperial Academy.
The Imperial Academy is a famous institution of higher learning in the Great Xia, but what is studied here is not cultivation, but history. Most of the historical information about the Great Gan and Great Yu are the research results of the Imperial Academy.
And the most mysterious and legendary ancient history is also within the scope of the Imperial Academy's research.
Along the way, the Decayed Fairy saw many disheveled scholars arguing with each other, each holding their own views, and no one would give in.
"It is clearly recorded in the 'Cooking Encyclopedia' that cooking should be in seconds. How can this be wrong!"
"Phonetic loan character, this must be a phonetic loan character!"
"What phonetic loan character? It must be that Ying Ying Tian Xian likes to eat salt. Don't you see that after Ying Ying Tian Xian defeats a strong enemy, he always says condescendingly, 'I have eaten more salt than you have walked.' This is ironclad evidence!"
Three scholars argued, looking like they would take action if they disagreed.
In the spiritual space, Lu Yang watched all this silently, feeling that Ying Ying Tian Xian's reputation might be difficult to restore.
Lu Yang saw another group of scholars discussing.
"According to my analysis, Ying Ying Tian Xian's Dao fruit is likely related to the Heavenly Tribulation."
"It is indeed possible... What did you just say?"
"I said Ying Ying Tian Xian... That's right, what did I just say?"
The two scholars looked at each other, unable to remember what had just happened.
Ye Gu took Lu Yang and the Xia Di to a simple thatched cottage deep in the Imperial Academy.
In the thatched cottage, an old man with gray hair was discussing something with someone, talking excitedly, dancing with joy.
The old man with gray hair is Qi Xiuya, the Dean of the Imperial Academy, who is famous, proficient in ancient and modern history, and has no equal in historical attainments. The outside world respectfully calls him "Dean Qi" or "Old Qi". He rarely appears in the outside world and lives in seclusion. Even Lu Yang, who is in the limelight, has never heard of him.
It can even be said that he has no enmity with Venerable Wuyu, which shows how isolated he is from the world.
The person sitting opposite him had his back to the door, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
Seeing Ye Gu enter, Qi Xiuya was a little surprised and asked with a smile.
"Little Gu, at this time you should be teaching in the Meng family. Why did you come here?"
"Teacher, when the disciple was giving a lecture in the Meng family, we discussed the origin of the mountain-opening axe, and this fellow Daoist named Lu Yang gave another possibility for the origin of the mountain-opening axe."
Ye Gu repeated what the Decayed Fairy said, and Qi Xiuya stroked his long white beard, silent.
"This is an interesting point of view, but there is no evidence, right?"
Qi Xiuya didn't know whether what the Decayed Fairy said was right or wrong, so he had to ask the person sitting opposite him for help.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, what do you think?"
Qi Xiuya solemnly introduced the person opposite him: "Let me introduce you. This is a fellow Daoist I just made. She doesn't look old, but she has a unique set of insights into ancient history. A short half-day conversation has really broadened my horizons."
The person called Fellow Daoist Jin lowered her head and pondered: "It is true that I heard that in the early years, before Ying Ying Tian Xian made his fortune, his cultivation resources were insufficient, so he collected toll fees. At that time, he really used the mountain-opening axe, and kept muttering 'This mountain was opened by me...' or something."
"Strange, people today shouldn't know about this kind of thing."
Fellow Daoist Jin stood up and faced Lu Yang, her eyes slightly surprised.
Only then did Lu Yang see Fellow Daoist Jin's appearance: a petite, cute little girl with a cold little face and no smile.
Lu Yang didn't recognize Fellow Daoist Jin, but the Decayed Fairy did.
The little ancestor of the Qiongqi clan, Jin Jin Caiwei.
