27: The king is miscellaneous
The demon seed is indeed a mysterious existence. Even the Demon Gate Holy Emperor, who recorded the "Book of Heaven" and personally founded the "Dao Fetal Seed Demon", may not fully understand the essence of the Demon Seed. It is very likely that the Demon Gate Holy Emperor only occasionally discovered the existence of the Demon Seed, and then tried every means to simulate and cultivate the Demon Seed, and based on this, he created the "Dao Fetal Seed Demon".
For thousands of years, there have been few people who can give birth to demon seeds. The one who can let the demon seed absorb the nutrients provided by the Dao Fetus and finally achieve great success is even more unique.
However, in this era, there was a Demon Saint in the world, and then there was a Cheng Li, and both of them successively cultivated the Demon Seed to the Dacheng realm. Such a miracle is not only unprecedented, but also doomed.
Between the demon seed and the fairy heart, there is a wonderful special sensing ability. Similarly, there is a similar sense between the demon seed and the demon seed.
Just when Cheng Li was pondering the intricate but subtle relationship between the murder case, Yi Shuidao, the Blood River Sect, and the Divine Descendant Clan. Suddenly, Cheng Li felt an inexplicable throbbing that appeared in the deepest part of his spirit.
This kind of throbbing gives Cheng Li a feeling that is both familiar and unfamiliar. He was slightly stunned, and then without thinking at all, an image that seemed to be able to dominate the world appeared in his consciousness - the Demon Saint was terrified!
Cheng Li was stunned, then stood up, put the "Jiuyao" treasure knife into the sheath, and pushed the door out. He didn't summon Ryoma's "servant", he just walked on his own. I can't say when it started, but the speed suddenly accelerated, and the whole person passed through the barracks, and then walked up an invisible staircase into the night sky, and his body was like a sharp arrow from the string, breaking through the air.
On the high air, there are no buildings to block it, so that Cheng Li can perform "instantaneous steps" to his heart's content without worrying about injuring innocent people by mistake.
In addition, after each leap of a certain distance, Cheng Li will use dark matter to condense an invisible stepping stone, and accelerate again with the help of force. In this way, it is as if you can really fly on foot, which is simply amazing.
It's getting faster and faster. However, after half an hour, Cheng Li had already left the city and arrived at the northwest suburbs of Tai'an Fucheng. His figure froze, and then he fell to the ground. Everywhere you stood, it was a small forest covered in starlight.
Cheng Li carried his hands behind his back, like a walk after a meal, walking peacefully in the forest. The speed does not seem to be fast, but the scenery on the left and right sides of the body is like flying, and it keeps falling backwards.
After a few moments, the road in the forest had come to an end. The precipitous precipice in front of me suddenly opened up. But in the starlight, a calm lake unfolded in front of me. The surface of the lake gently rocks up and down as the waves rise and fall. The stars are shining brightly, like a dream.
"The rolling dragon fights, and the world is hot and cold. Wandering into the corridor, asking the vast earth, who is the master of the ups and downs? The waves sweep away the heroes, and look at the present day. ”
In the indifferent groaning, I saw a flat boat coming from far and near. On top of the boat, there was only one majestic man. He sat rock-solid at the bow of the boat, with a small red clay stove in front of him, and a pot of wine burning on it. The man was holding a fan in his hand and was gently fanning the flames and cooking wine. Under the stars, above the lake, everything seems so peaceful and quiet.
Cheng Li smiled. There was no joy or sorrow in his heart, he calmly walked to the edge of the lakeshore, hugged his fists and said, "Senior Brother Li, don't come to harm." ”
The Demon Saint put down the fan in shock, his eyes flashed with blazing essence, and he looked at Cheng Li. Said lightly: "Brother Wei happened to get a pot of wine, which is said to be used by those old scholars of the Confucian Mansion to worship his ancestors." Why don't you come up and have three drinks with your brother?"
Cheng Li said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." The figure moved slightly, and he had already crossed a distance of several feet, stood firmly in the bow of the ship, and then sat down cross-legged.
He didn't see him take out his oars and paddle, but the boat suddenly turned around and drifted towards the middle of the lake.
Moments later, the boat was in the middle of the lake. The Demon Saint reined in his Yuan Gong and let the boat drift like duckweed. Then he lifted the wine jug from the stove, poured two glasses, and said, "Senior brother, please." ”
Cheng Li picked up his wine glass and said, "Senior brother, please." "Raise a glass and drink it all. The Demon Saint filled him up again. The two drank three glasses to each other.
Cheng Li put down the wine glass and said sincerely: "The taste is neutral, mellow, and has a long aftertaste." "Sure enough, it is the most authentic Confucian wine. Just like Confucius's Confucianism, it is a golden mean. Because only the mean can last long.
The Demon Saint frowned and said, "Senior Brother, has you been poisoned by those corrupt Confucians recently, why is it so boring to speak?"
Cheng Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a matter of facts." Senior brother, even you can't help but admit it. Although Confucianism is not perfect, when it comes to governing the country, there is no better way to use it in the world today. ”
The Demon Sage said coldly: "The Han family has its own system, and it is supposed to be a tyrant, but how can it be purely moral, and use Zhou Zhenghu? And the vulgar Confucianism is not up to date, so it is good that the past is not the present, so that people are dazzled by the name and the truth, and they don't know what to keep, so how can they be appointed?"
Cheng Li has been intermittent for this period of time, and has read some ancient books. So he also knew that the words of the Demon Sage came from the Book of Han.
When Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was still the crown prince, he saw that his father, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, reused some Legalist scribes, so he asked his father to use more Confucianism. However, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty believed that Confucianism's emphasis on education belonged to the royal road. Legalists punish them heavily, which is overbearing.
As a monarch, he should mix domineering and royal ways in order to govern the world well. He also said that those Confucian scholars did not know the affairs of the world and were not grounded. There is often a tendency to value the ancient and despise the modern, and almost all of them are waste that must be named, so they are not suitable for reuse.
After saying this, Emperor Xuan of Han sighed again and said that the person who would make the Han Dynasty chaotic in the future must be his son (Emperor Yuan of Han).
This allusion is also quite famous in history. At this moment, the Demon Saint borrowed it to refute Cheng Li's words of praising Confucianism.
Cheng Li shook his head and said, "One or two rotten Confucians do not represent Confucianism. Just as you and I can't represent the entire Demon Gate.
And brother, I didn't say it just now, Confucianism is flawless. It's just that in today's world, there is no more perfect way to govern the country than Confucianism. ”
The Demon Saint said lightly: "Actually, there are still some." The so-called God knows, the loss is more than enough to make up for the deficiency. Why did all the dynasties and dynasties finally lose their country? It is because of the passage of time and the passage of time, the lords of the family, the military meritorious service, the literati and doctors have risen one after another, and they have constantly encroached on the common people.
It's like a flock of sheep on the steppe, which would have been enough to feed the wolves. But suddenly there was another group of lions, and suddenly another group of hyenas, and suddenly another group of jackals, all of them came to eat the sheep. Eating and eating, there are not enough sheep to eat, these jackals, tigers, leopards, hyenas, lions, etc., can only starve to death, which is equivalent to the death of the country.
Therefore, if the country is governed by the brother, then it is very simple, clean up the grassland regularly, and kill all the jackals, tigers and leopards who are not greedy enough and dare to eat sheep indiscriminately, and naturally there will be no problems. ”
