Chapter Ninety-Three: In This Troubled World, Who Will Play Chess?
The reason why Yang Xuanji came to Xiling and the reason why this battle broke out was that the most important purpose was to enter the mountain behind the academy.
But now, he and Dong Zhongshu are defeated, and the latter is hiding in the academy, which makes him embarrassed. If he breaks in, it is likely to be another fierce battle, and with his current physical condition, it is definitely not a wise choice.
If you retreat in the face of difficulties, then all your efforts will be wasted and in vain.
In front of him, he did not make a decision immediately, but returned from the clouds to the halfway up the mountain.
Feeling Li Mubai's injury, he looked solemn and was touched by the determination of this giant. In order to protect Xiao Xiao for him, the other party was willing to suffer such a serious injury and never flinched.
This favor is too heavy.
After a moment of silence, he said firmly: "In the future, you can speak." ”
Da En is not grateful, he has a straightforward personality and does not want to be so pretentious. Today, Li Mubai was seriously injured and did not take half a step back, even if he made him pay a heavier price in the future, he did not hesitate to repay him twice.
Li Mubai's face was pale, he coughed, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, "I'm just entrusted by someone, and it's not your turn to admit it." ”
He was open-minded, had no intention of hiding it, and was unwilling to earn Old Man Yang's favor.
Old man Yang froze, tilted his head slightly, perceiving the humming and trembling earth killing sword, and vaguely guessed some truths.
"In that case, I have to go to the academy."
He was blind and clear-sighted, and on the day outside the Yunyao Sect, he had already detected that Gu Jiantang was fake. For some reason, he didn't break it, but let Zhen leave, and at the same time identified the latter's qi.
As soon as he came to Momoyama today, he saw that Ren Zhen was also in the academy.
Since Ren Zhen entrusted someone to help, Old Man Yang felt that only by taking him out of the academy safely could he repay this favor.
Li Mubai turned around, stared at his thin body, and didn't ask about his decision, but asked quietly, "Why did you come here?" ”
Old man Yang raised his head, as if looking at the top of the mountain, "Why are you here?" ”
There was silence again.
A similar conversation happened here just now. Everyone has different positions, each has its own ghosts, and no one is willing to say what they really think.
Very rarely, Xiao Hao did not immediately run to Old Man Yang, but supported Li Mubai and sat on the ground with difficulty.
Old man Yang sighed and said, "You should have heard his words." ”
Li Mubai nodded, understood what he was referring to, and said in a cold voice: "Confucianism, what a big ambition!" ”
After this battle, they all deeply felt that Dong Zhongshu's cultivation was not what it used to be, and it was only a line away from the legendary Ninth Realm, and it was no longer up to them alone to compete.
What's even more worrying is that as his strength skyrocketed, Dong Zhongshu's ambitions also swelled sharply. He not only persuaded the Empress of the Northern Tang Dynasty to depose the hundred schools of thought and worship Confucianism, but even tried in vain to open an altar and establish a religion and enjoy eternal worship!
Confucianism and Confucianism are two completely different concepts.
Confucianism only represents one school of thought and holds one word. No matter how revered the status was, Confucianism was only passed down because of its intellectual ideas.
Confucianism, on the other hand, is completely equivalent to a religion. Once the establishment of the religion is successful, the world's reverence for the Confucian saints will not only be the teacher's ceremony, but will be worshiped as a god, and they will have to be superstitious and blindly obeyed.
Linked to the unification of etiquette and religion, the divine grant of royal power, etc., which Dong Zhongshu just said, his ambition is unimaginable, as if a storm is brewing to sweep the government and the opposition!
Over the past thousand years, the Ten Kingdoms have been in dispute, and the North and the South have never had the unification they have today, let alone a religious challenge that attempts to shackle people's hearts.
Ren Zhen is right, this era is about to go berserk.
Old man Yang did not listen to Ren Zhen's prophecy like Li Mubai. But he is proficient in yin and yang techniques, and his divination and deduction are supernatural, and he can foresee a hint of a hazy future.
He could also see that Confucianism would be the center of the next storm.
"You've been in seclusion for ten years, and now you're back in the world. I don't know your intentions, but I have faith in your character. Let's join forces, the Yin and Yang family and the Mo family, and turn the tide together! ”
When he said this, Old Man Yang had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be full of confidence.
"Confucianism and ink escape to the west", he believed that Dong Zhongshu would fall if he committed many injustices, but he never thought that the Mo family giant, who had been hidden for many years, actually came out of the mountain. In this way, there is one more strong reinforcement among the hundred forces.
If you ask for the help of the Zongheng family and lobby hundreds of schools, it won't be long before this game of dead chess can be completely brought back to life!
However, Li Mubai shook his head and said, "I won't help you." But you can rest assured that the Mo family will never be your enemy. ”
"Why?" When Old Man Yang heard this, his disappointment was beyond words.
He didn't understand that Li Mubai was willing to stay with his life in order to protect a child, and he was not afraid in the face of a powerful offensive, so why did he refuse his invitation now?
"The Mo family upholds chivalry and loves the world, why don't you want to do this righteousness! Dong Zhongshu's ambition, haven't you seen it! ”
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he was about to question him quickly, when Li Mubai raised his hand and interrupted him.
"No, you misunderstood me. I didn't say I didn't want to fight Confucianism, I just didn't want to be your helper. This big game of chess is not your turn to play. ”
Old man Yang was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" ”
Li Mubai got up, raised his hand to the top of the vast mountain, and said awe-inspiringly: "The person who really has the strength to play chess is there!" ”
……
The mountain behind the academy.
According to Ren Zhen's request, Liao Rushen was sitting on the edge of the Spring and Autumn Array, with his back to the stele forest, looking at the chessboard in a daze.
If Ren Zhen wants to solve the monument, he must use his left hand to find out the true solution of "Spring and Autumn" like a fugue in the sea of stars.
Only by opening Liao Rushen can he dare to open his eyes without worrying about being discovered.
The law is like heaven and earth, all of which are in my eyes. Three thousand avenues, from the origin.
This is the most powerful supernatural power of Tianyan. In contrast, those disguised stealth methods are just scratching the surface.
At this moment, his left hand was aimed at the scripture tablet, the golden color overflowed in the palm of his hand, and the heavenly eye showed its original form, with a clear divine light, staring at the tablet without blinking.
On the surface of the stele, the red paint of countless words suddenly has spirituality, and automatically flows out from between the strokes, which is the essence blood of the unicorn of the year!
They contain the essence of "Spring and Autumn", shining with bright luster, flowing to the heavenly eye in Ren Zhen's palm, submerging into it.
And those words, after losing the charm of Lin's blood, are constantly broken and peeled off from the surface of the tablet. The Spring and Autumn Scripture Monument was destroyed.
At the same time, Ren Zhen's eyes were tightly closed, and he was engrossed in meditation frantically.
Eight hundred years of spring and autumn, turned into a magnificent picture, which appeared in his mind. The legendary characters on the picture are lifelike, with voices and smiles, ready to come out.
Everything is in front of you.
Breaking through the fog of simplified text and glimpsing the wisdom behind history, this is the true understanding and charm of "Spring and Autumn".
The ancients, taking history as a mirror, can know the rise and fall.
Knowing the charm of the first 800 years, why not be afraid of the ups and downs of the next 800 years!
Time is passing quickly, and the seven hundred and twenty years on the stele are just a flick of a finger.
Ren Zhen put away his left hand and smiled confidently, this Spring and Autumn Scripture Tablet, he has really cracked it!
Taking a step under his feet, he was about to walk out of the stele forest and tell Liao Rushen the good news, when suddenly, there was a buzz in his head, as if it exploded.
Immediately afterward, he fell unconscious.
……
This is the right moment.
Dong Zhongshu's huge ruler smashed on the Earth Killing Sword, and it was not only Li Mubai who suffered, but also the owner of this sword.
