Chapter 119: Celestial Induction
Gu Jiantang himself is one year Chinese New Year's Eve old today, and Yan Yuan is in his forties, so he can be called a "younger brother". [Note]
But the word "junior and brother" is a completely different concept. After all, the "division" added refers to the towering Confucian saint Dong Zhongshu, and it can't be added casually.
Their teacher was still walking around Xunyang City at this time, and Yan Yuan opened his mouth and said "junior brother", which was meaningful, and it was clearly the meaning of accepting apprentices on behalf of the teacher.
Hearing the title of "Senior Brother Gu", those Confucian students suddenly felt their scalps tingle and were stunned.
Mr. Big, who has always been cautious and serious, how can he be so reckless today? Isn't he afraid that the Master will rebuke him when he returns?
The young juniors who have just entered Zhongnan may not know what they are doing, but those academy elders know very well that over the years, the master has been easy-going and tolerant to many disciples, but he has extremely strict requirements for Mr. Big, and it can even be said that he is harsh.
To a certain extent, Mr. Da can have such a tenacious and forbearant temperament now, and the master has to take a lot of credit.
Therefore, his style of acting today made the scholars of the academy more and more incomprehensible.
How could Yan Gu and the others care about other people's opinions, they glanced at each other, tacitly acknowledged, and walked side by side towards the top of the mountain.
A lot of times, people try to show something, often to disguise something else.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Two days later, on the third day of April.
In front of the Chengtian Palace, a monthly grand ceremony of the academy was ushered inβthe Induction Ceremony.
The significance of this ceremony is to give Confucian scholars who come on pilgrimage the opportunity to obtain the natal character, so that they can advance to the realm of knowing fate.
There are so many Confucian disciples, and every month there will be scholars from all over the world gathered here, so the induction ceremony will be held once a month, so that everyone can ask for words in batches.
The process of the ceremony is not complicated, but it can only be carried out smoothly in this place in the Holy Land of the South of the South. This is because the Confucian sacred weapon, which can sense the heavens and endow the literati with natal characters, is located in front of the Chengtian Hall of the Jungnan Academy.
It was an extremely huge incense burner, more than ten zhang long, higher than the palace group at the back, and even standing outside the academy, it could be seen from a distance, which could be described as magnificent and majestic.
Such a mighty incense burner will naturally not really be used to burn incense. It was forged from some unknown metal, and the furnace body was black and blue, dull, and exuded a sense of vicissitudes.
This furnace is called the Celestial Induction Furnace. As the name suggests, it can sense heaven and humanity to achieve the true unity of heaven and man, and it is a holy weapon with heavenly luck.
The operating principle of this furnace is also very simple.
Confucian scholars who accept the induction of words need to stand in front of the induction furnace and first pour a large amount of essence blood into the furnace as a sacrifice to the heavens to show their sincerity.
After the sacrifice is completed, the Confucian cultivator continues to inject some true power, and then waits for a while.
If you are a person with atmospheric luck, you will be blessed by the heavens, and you will descend the word of your natal life, which will be condensed through the true power injected just now, and return to your body. Since then, this person has inherited his destiny and officially become a powerhouse in the realm of knowing his destiny.
Of course, many ordinary people have shallow fortunes, and they can't get the favor of heaven, and if they wait for half a day without results, they can only return in a daze, not to mention the waste of essence and blood, and there is no day to break through the realm in this life.
Therefore, after stepping into the four realms, Confucian cultivators in the world often choose to study abroad and continue to practice on the way to the pilgrimage. They are thousands of miles away, and after they come to Zhongnan Academy, their cultivation has often reached perfection, and at this time, they will seek words and know their fate, just in one go, and will not miss the opportunity.
This is also the reason why Ren Zhen is eager to achieve the consummation of the four realms, only in this way can he stand in front of the induction furnace justifiably and accept the induction of heaven and man.
Before the ceremony began, he stood in front of the Chengtian Palace, standing side by side with Yan Yuan. Both of them stared at the magnificent furnace, their eyes deep, each with a ghost.
After being silent for a long time, Yan Yuan asked faintly: "How much do you know about this induction furnace?" β
Ren Zhen was a little confused, "Do I need to know?" You and I both know that my name is Xiuru, but in fact, it's just to meet your conditions and help you destroy it. β
At this moment, if anyone hears this, they will be like five thunderbolts, stunned and speechless.
The intention of the Sword Saint's trip turned out to be to destroy one of the great foundations of Confucianism, the Heavenly and Human Induction Furnace!
Not only that, but what is even more sensational is that the person who really wants to destroy the Confucian holy weapon is Mr. Yan Yuan!
There is too much information hidden behind a few sentences, which is unbelievable.
Yan Yuan's eyebrows tightened, as if he was not satisfied with his answer, and continued to ask, "Then have you thought about the consequences of destroying it?" β
Ren Zhen was careless and said casually: "After all, it is one of the cornerstones of Confucianism, what other consequences can there be, it is nothing more than the master is completely angry, and then hunts me down all over the world." Can there be anything else? β
Yan Yuan turned sideways, stared at him and asked, "This is not enough?" Aren't you afraid? β
Ren Zhen sneered, "Master's mind, you know better than me. Even if I don't provoke him, do you think he'll let me rise again? β
Yan Yuan shook his head.
Ren Zhen didn't look at his reaction, and said indifferently: "It's just a transaction, as long as you can meet my conditions, why don't I be hunted down by him?" In the future, we have the opportunity to continue to cooperate. β
Yan Yuan was silent. In this transaction, the condition he proposed was to destroy the induction furnace, and Ren Zhen's condition was also extraordinary.
Buyers and sellers, no one wants to suffer, not to mention the destruction of the furnace, which itself is also beneficial to Ren Zhen.
Ren Zhen continued: "If the Confucian sword is not separated, it is reasonable for me to destroy the furnace. You lured the wolf into the house and connived at me to succeed, isn't it you who needs to worry about the consequences the most? You're not afraid, I'm afraid of anything! β
After being silent for a long time, Yan Yuan held the gourd on his waist uneasily and said, "Do you really understand why the master is angry? Or do you want to know, why would I want you to destroy it? β
At this time, Ren Zhen finally turned around and looked at him seriously, "Ever since the day we met Lijiang, I have always wanted to know the answer to this question. β
Yan Yuan shrunk his neck, his eyes flowed, and he seemed to be scanning the surroundings casually, but in fact, he was extremely vigilant.
"The world calls this induction furnace a holy furnace because they think it can communicate with the heavens and is extremely sacred. In fact, they are all kept in the dark, and the so-called celestial and human induction is not a blessing from the gods at all, but a great deception. β
"Oh?" Ren Zhenjian raised his eyebrows, his heart pounded, and he asked, "What scam?" β
He had a vague feeling that he was going to hear a crucial Confucian secret.
Yan Yuan leaned to the side, approached Ren Zhen's side, and said in a very subtle voice: "This Hong Furnace is actually his natal object. β
Note: This sentence is really complicated. First of all, Ren Zhen has already spent the New Year in Xiangbei, and it is now the seventeenth year of Yuanwu, so Gu Jiantang is going to be one year older, everyone should be able to understand this, right?
Then, everyone knows the truth, our Sword Saint is an old virgin, and my brother is your sister!
