Chapter 515: Chapter 505: The Useless Rabbit
Yi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the academy, Yi Zheng, curious, asked Zi Zhuang, “Are we a sect? Not an academy?”
Zi Zhuang shook his head, “Strictly speaking, we’re an academy.”
Yi Zheng said, “Then why do you all call the teacher Big House Master?”
Zi Zhuang touched his bald head and chuckled, “How should I put it… We were originally called Chopping Wood Academy.
What our teacher despises the most is those immortals up in the heavens, for being above it all and not understanding the common people’s suffering.
Despises them for thinking they’re better than everyone else once they have some power.
Despises them for acting all lofty and superior after learning a bit of culture and wanting to direct others on how to live.
The teacher believes that everyone in the world, when they first come into being, are just clods of mud flung by Lady Nvwa; nobody is nobler than anyone else, and when you strip off the clothes, we’re all a bunch of birds!
Even if you’ve cultivated, even if you’ve learned culture, you should not forget where you came from.
So our academy is called Chopping Wood Academy, to remind disciples where they started, that we’re all woodcutters, all just mud-slogging peasants…”
Yi Zheng was taken aback. He could never have imagined that the vulgar Kong Ni could hold such sentiment, and suddenly he felt a bit of respect for Kong Ni, “What does that have to do with everyone calling him Big House Master?”
Zi Zhuang said, “Don’t rush me, let me explain slowly.
Our teacher and those guys up in the heavens didn’t share the same ideals, so he came to the Lower Realm to open this scholarly academy.
But as you’ve seen, our teacher’s personality is not that of a frail scholar.
When something comes up, he’s truly hands-on, insistent on making things clear, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he’d make sure to explain things thoroughly.
