Chapter 552: The Last Inheritor of Confucianism
Tonight, for the people of the Gale Tribe, it was definitely a sleepless night. At this time, the tribe was silent, although the night was dark, but the tribesmen who returned to the tribe were all hiding in their rooms looking lost and depressed, and no one could sleep peacefully.
Every time they close their eyes, the sights they see in the holy place will come to their minds. The huge willow trees, the bones all over the ground, and the shriveled corpses tangled in the roots of the trees all proved to them that the spirits of the clan were truly evil.
When I think of the people who have been deceived for hundreds of years, and who have been sent to the Holy Land, I feel guilty. Although the dryad died, the anger that was full of anger could not be vented at all, and he could only be depressed in his heart, tossing and turning alone.
Bangbang!
In a stone house near the center of the tribe, a few slight knocks on the door suddenly sounded, awakening the high priest who had fallen into deep thought. Trembling and trembling opened the door, the sturdy figure of the stone wolf came into view.
"High Priest, disturb your rest, someone wants to see you. ”
As soon as the stone wolf's voice fell, he turned around directly without waiting for the other party to answer, and then said unusually respectfully to the person next to him: "My lord, please!"
"You!"
Lin Nan looked at the stone wolf's respectful attitude and shook his head helplessly. Today on the top of the high mountain, after the stone wolf witnessed the scene of the willow demon being killed, he was suddenly shocked by Lin Nan. When they met again, they immediately put away their playful personality and replaced it with a respectful demeanor.
Knowing that it would be difficult to reverse for a while, Lin Nan did not force it again, but turned his gaze to the high priest. This morning's expedition was only a distant view, and now that it is closer, I noticed that the old man's body is even worse than he imagined.
The meridians of the whole body have been broken, and most of the internal organs are also damaged, and the weakened qi and blood are absent, and they look like they are about to die. If it weren't for the special energy left in his heart, which made him barely support, I am afraid that he would have died long ago.
"You're here!" The high priest was not the slightest surprise at the arrival of Lin Nan, and took the lead in speaking with some excitement in his words.
"You don't seem surprised that I'm here," the surprise in Lin Nan's eyes flashed.
"Today, the people have reported to me about your feat in the army of fierce beasts. And what happened in the Holy Land, I really can't think of anyone other than you who can have such great strength. ”
"You're smarter than I thought you would. Lin Nan walked into the stone house, glanced back and forth, then took a deep look at the high priest, and said pointedly: "The clan spirit is an evil spirit, I'm afraid you already know about it." ”
Today in the Holy Land, Lin Nan stayed on the hidden side for a while. Unlike the shocked expressions of those people, the high priest's face was more of a sadness, which was extremely special.
Sure enough, as soon as these words fell, Lin Nan was keenly aware that the high priest's eyes contracted violently. The stone wolf, which followed closely, looked at the elders of the tribe in disbelief.
"When the old man was young, he wandered outside for a while, and I heard rumors that the spirits of the tribe fed on the human race in other places. As for the clan spirits of this tribe, although they had doubts before, they did not go to investigate deeply. The High Priest sighed and nodded silently.
"Why is that?" Lin Nan tapped on the table and asked in a cold tone.
"Because the people need a faith, and they need a safe refuge. This Blackstone Mountain Range is hundreds of thousands of miles long, and there are countless human races living in it, but all the tribes that worship the clan spirit have this luck. ”
"The Black Rock Mountains are infested with fierce beasts, and the slightest mistake will lead to the tribe being razed to the ground. Compared with the scourge of extermination, even if there are really cannibalistic monsters in the holy land, as long as the other party can leave a trace of blood for the human race, then all the previous efforts will be worth it. ”
The high priest finished his words in one breath, and the bent waist looked even heavier.
"No, you lied to me, it's definitely not true. "Faith was shattered, and the stone wolf was almost on the verge of collapse.
"Stone wolf, don't be rude!" Lin Nan scolded the stone wolf loudly, and then turned his head and asked with a puzzled face: "Tell me your true identity, ordinary people never have the strength to roam in this big mountain." ”
Although it has only been a few days since I came to the flood wilderness, I have a lot of feelings about the danger in the depths of this mountain. In this world where wild beasts are rampant, if you want to walk outside alone, not having a certain strength is no different from committing suicide.
"Kong Chuan, the last inheritor of Confucianism, meet the power of my human race. Thank you seniors for saving the tribe and water and fire, such a great kindness, please accept the worship of the younger generation. The high priest suddenly fell to his knees and bowed deeply to Lin Nan.
"You are a member of the Confucian lineage, what does it mean to be the last inheritor?" Lin Nan was shocked in his heart, suddenly stood up, and looked at the old face in front of him in a daze, and his heart was shocked.
"If you go back to your predecessors, there is no Confucianism in this world. The high priest bit his lip and said in grief.
"Impossible, Confucian masters are like clouds, how can they be so down!" Lin Nan's blood surged up for a while, and there was an unbelievable expression on his face.
I may not know anything else, but the way of Confucianism on the flood wilderness can be said to be like thunder, and even the innate god who inherited it to himself praised it in his memory. If it weren't for the fact that the saints of heaven and earth were worried about the emergence of an additional sect that divided their luck, I am afraid that there would be one more Confucianism in this world in addition to human teaching, expounding teaching, intercepting teaching, and Buddhism.
A school that can be admired by all saints, a school that is revered by all human beings as the "Venerable of Literature and Taoism", and a school that aims to cultivate Haoran righteousness. After all these years of accumulation, the master is absolutely vast as rain, how can he say that he will be extinguished.
"Don't dare to deceive my predecessors, not only will Confucianism be shattered, but even the hundreds of schools of thought with their names are now exhausted. The old man has been breathing for a long time, wanting to keep what he has learned, and he has traveled all over the vast mountains but finds that now human beings in this world no longer need "Wendao" at all. ”
The high priest bowed again, then slowly stood up, turned to look at the stone wolf who had fallen into a stupor, and said with a wry smile: "They don't even have the right to live, what is the use of this Confucianism." In this vast land, it may be more practical to give them a sharp weapon than an article to refine the mind. ”
"Tell me everything you know, what the hell is wrong with humanity now?" Lin Nan's voice was like ice, low and chilling.
