Chapter 989 Listening to the class is worse than sleeping
Mona's class is a tiered classroom, which is packed with people, hundreds of them in total.
He was wearing the scholar's uniform of the Academy of Ordinances, and the bachelor's hat on his head was emblazoned with the blue emblem of the Minglun School.
No, not just the Minglun School, scholars from other academies who were interested in the starry sky also came to audit.
Jing Fantian also saw many wise men wearing tutor uniforms. Some of them had gray hair, but they still sat obediently like elementary school students, listening to teacher Mona's teachings.
This situation is like a pilgrimage, a pilgrimage to the embodiment of truth.
Leila pulled Jing Fantian and others to the seats in the back.
Anaye sighed, "There are so many people! Are all the scholars of the Minglun School here?"
Leila shook her head: "No, although the Minglun School is not as good as the Shenglun School, the school also has thousands of students."
Nilu exclaimed: "Then Lady Mona is also amazing. So many people come to listen to her classes, and there are many wise men-level instructors."
Leila was a little proud when she heard this: "The instructor's class is elective. It is not mandatory for all scholars of Minglun to attend. Those who come here are all interested in the instructor's course."
"But the mentor is the great astrologer Mona. Her name alone is enough to make everyone in the Minglun Sect bow down to her."
Jing Fantian said with emotion: “I never thought that the girl who could barely afford to eat in Fontaine City would become the pillar of your Minglun Sect.”
Leila was a little puzzled: "Teacher can't afford to eat in Fontaine?"
When Jing Fantian saw Leila's confused look, he knew that she knew nothing about Mona's past.
Mona would never tell her good students about her embarrassing past.
"Your mentor used to study astrology alone in Fontaine. Astrological equipment is notoriously expensive. She would rather skip meals than not use the best equipment."
"When I met her, my stomach was still rumbling and I almost had to beg for food."
Leila didn't care about Mona's embarrassment, but instead admired her spirit.
"The mentor is so great. He would rather dedicate his life to the stars than treat himself better. This is the spirit I should learn from."
Jing Fantian rubbed Leila's head helplessly: "Leila, the pursuit of knowledge is a long process. You must ensure that you have a healthy body."
Leila blushed: "I know...I know, Your Majesty the Dragon King."
After a short while, Jing Fantian and the others stopped talking because Mona started teaching.
"Astrology is the cornerstone of astronomy. Ancient people noticed the connection between the stars in the night sky and human society very early on. There is a mysterious connection between the changes in the stars and the events in Teyvat."
"For example, five hundred years ago, when Kanreya was destroyed, astrologers discovered that a comet hit the moon. A broom-shaped meteor blocked the moon's light..."
“The changes in the stars are not only related to the events that happen to us, but also have an indescribable bond with personal character and destiny.”
"The ancients believed that what people did on earth would be reflected in the sky, and some people who played a key role in the course of history were the key to the astrology."
"For example, the northernmost star in the sky is called the God Star in the Xumi mythology and is believed to be the palace of the gods."
"In Liyue mythology, it is also called the Ziwei Star, symbolizing the supreme and noble god. The people of Liyue regard that star as their god Morax."
When Mona said this, she subconsciously glanced at where Jing Fantian was.
"Grudge from Mona, +100 constellation points."
Mona thought that no matter how uneducated Jing Fantian was, he would still respect his father and would react when he heard her cite Morax as an example.
Unexpectedly... he fell asleep immediately, in stark contrast to the people around him who were listening attentively.
What an unlearned dragon.
Mona felt that Jing Fantian was hopeless. It would be better to put a pile of treasures next to his nest than to expect these lazy and greedy dragons to understand the astrology.
At least they have the energy to count the coins and exercise their meager arithmetic.
Mona left Jing Fantian aside and continued to teach attentively.
"Do you know what the seven stars of Liyue are?"
This is obviously an easy question.
A student rushed to answer: "Sage, it is Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang."
Mona nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, these seven stars are also called the Big Dipper. The shape they form looks like a bucket used to scoop wine in ancient times, so it is named the Big Dipper."
"Among them, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji and Tianquan form the body of the dipper. Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang form the handle of the dipper."
"In Liyue mythology, the Big Dipper is the maker of the order of heaven and earth. Spring birth, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage all come according to the direction of the Big Dipper."
"Then can any of you tell me why the Seven Stars of Liyue are headed by Tianquan?"
Anaye immersed herself in Mona's class, caring about participation. She raised her hand and answered, "Teacher Mona, it's because Tianquan Star symbolizes literary luck in Liyue mythology, and is also called Wenqu Star."
"But I think this generation of Tianquan Stars is more outstanding than the other seven stars."
Mona nodded: "Great, Anaye, Tianquan symbolizes literary luck. To some extent, Tianquan is the head of the civil officials, equivalent to the prime minister of Liyue."
The students in the classroom all looked at Anaye with envy. To these young people, being praised by the wise man was a kind of recognition.
But their eyes suddenly caught the rude man two seats next to Anaye.
He fell asleep on the table. Did he treat this place as his own living room?
Bold!
Some wise men of the Minglun School had unfriendly expressions on their faces. The sage of the academy was giving a lecture, the wise men were listening attentively, and the students were trying hard to absorb the sage's wisdom.
But how dare he do that when suddenly this black sheep appeared in the hall of wisdom?
"Whose student is that? How dare he sleep in Master Megistus's class?"
"You are so bold. You don't even take the sages of the academy and wise men like us seriously."
"Students like this shouldn't be in the ordination house. This is not a kindergarten."
"Still sleeping, is he a pig? Didn't he hear everyone's discussions?"
Ni Lu blushed with shame and pushed Jing Fantian: "Lord Dragon King, Lord Dragon King, don't sleep, everyone is watching you!"
Jing Fantian scratched his neck, and everyone thought he would become confused and then apologize in shame.
Unexpectedly, he changed his position and continued sleeping.
"Grudge from Agana, +10 constellation points."
"Resentment from Vairuni, +10 constellation points."
"From..."
What a fellow! He doesn't take the rules and regulations of the College of Ordinances seriously at all. Such a student has no respect for knowledge and is not wise at all.
Mona quickly got the class back on track: "Everyone, don't be distracted by other things, let's continue the class."
Mona was afraid that these people would wake up Jing Fantian, and if he got angry, wouldn’t there be an earthquake in Xumi City?
The wise men retracted their deathly gazes, and the students retracted their gloating looks.
