In the early years of the Ye Dynasty, there has always been a legend after Kong Mo became sanctified, and he was also the first person under Kong Mo, who was called the book saint at that time, and the second person with the most hope to break through to sanctification.

Kong Mo's first disciple, Shi Hua.

Shi Hua spoke out as early as the first emperor in the imperial period, scholarly and talented, at the age of seven, he entered the department, at the age of eight he studied in a hundred schools, and at the age of nine he was directly admitted to the Sage Academy in Kyoto by Kong Mo.

You must know that there is an age bottom line for the Sage Academy to recruit and educate people in the Ye Dynasty, but there is no upper limit for school age.

It can be said that in the entire Sage Academy, the youngest is also in his thirties, after all, for an ordinary person, the examination questions recruited by the Sage Academy every year are several times more difficult than those selected by the officials of the Ye Dynasty today.

It was once circulated among the scholars of the Ye Dynasty that if you can't get into the Sage Academy, you can just become a Beijing official, and take the exam again next year.

At the age of eight, Shi Hua was ranked in the top three in the examination of the Sage Academy, but because he was too young to be selected, at the age of nine, Shi Hua was ranked first, and he was admitted to the Sage with a score twice as high as the second place.

Speaking of the last sentence here, there are tens of thousands of exam questions in this Sage Academy, but each of the tens of thousands of students in the Sage Academy will have one, and it must not be repeated with previous years.

Therefore, in terms of scores, there is naturally no upper line, as long as the specified score line is reached, you can be selected.

It was precisely because of this huge gap that Kong Mo decided to make an exception to admit Shi Hua to the Sage Academy.

Later, Ye Dynasty Shihua gradually grew up, and it seemed that it was difficult to meet his heart's desires for Kong Mo's teachings.

So he left Kyoto before the death of the first emperor.

Since then, he has disappeared, and only Kong Mo knows the whereabouts of Shi Hua.

"Teacher, students want to go to the coast of the West Sea once, and they are puzzled."

That night, before Shi Hua left, he saw Kong Mo alone, and it seemed that it was the same as tonight, the moon and stars were shining, and it was also like tonight, and the evening breeze was slightly cold and blew the corners of his clothes.

At that time, Shi Hua, although he had passed the year of the crown ceremony, was still a child in Kong Mo's eyes, but in the face of the wistful look in Shi Hua's eyes, Kong Mo was shaken.

After getting along with Shi Hua for so many years, Kong Mo understood that his talent and cognition were by no means things in the pool, and even in this Sage Academy, it was a kind of burial after all.

It seems that Shi Hua's arrival is for some kind of mission.

"You have clearly figured out that the path of truth is not all smooth sailing, or there are thorns, or suffering, or the abyss of life and death."

In this way, if he were someone else, or a child as old as Shi Hua, Kong Mo might not be able to speak, but for Shi Hua, Kong Mo knew that he could understand.

After Shi Hua listened to Kong Mo's words, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and Kong Mo could not forget this smile for the rest of his life.

It seems that this smile should not appear on such a young and immature face, this smile, even Kong Mo is difficult to do so relieved.

"Teacher, seeking the truth is an existence that transcends life and death, this is what you taught me, and it is also profound and clear to students, so students are willing to live for it and die for it."

"Okay, there you go."

Kong Mo agreed to Shi Hua's departure, and this departure was more than a dozen spring and autumn periods, the death of the first emperor, the chaos of the Ye Dynasty, Feng Yewu's accession to the throne, and Tidi's invasion.

During the period of Kong Mo, he deliberately asked someone to inquire, in the western sea, but anyone had ever seen his proudest apprentice in his life.

It's just that none of the people who came back have any news, and Shi Hua seems to have been completely heard from since he left Kyoto.

Recalling to the present, Kong Mo exuded a faint righteousness of heaven and earth, a milky white light, mixed with the power of heaven and earth, slowly falling.

Kong Mo completely released his sage coercion, and at the same time looked at the apprentice in front of him like a torch, and asked with a little pain in his voice:

"Shi Hua, could it be that this evil technique is the truth and answer you are pursuing?"

Kong Mo didn't know whether to be happy or sad, because Shi Hua was able to use the means to almost confuse himself, which showed that his strength also had a strength that could rival that of a sage.

He had an epiphany and became holy, and an apprentice who also did not practice martial arts could have such strength, which means that he was also enlightened and sanctified, but this kind of means of confusing the minds of others was the most exclusive evil art in Kong Mo's heart.

This is also where Kong Mo is most heartbroken.

In the face of Kong Mo's accusation, Shi Hua did not feel guilty at all, nor did he feel that his behavior was a magic spell of charm, but still smiled, and said without joy or anger in his eyes:

"Teacher, you misunderstood."

As Shi Hua's misunderstanding was spoken, bursts of indifferent golden light emanated from Shi Hua's body.

Just as Kong Mo guessed, Shi Hua also had an epiphany and became a sage, and the light emitted by Shi Hua at this moment was the unique holy power of a sage.

"This..."

Kong Mo originally thought that Shi Hua was just a disguise, but when he saw the light on Shi Hua's body, as well as the warm and soft aura under the majesty, his heart was suddenly shocked.

How is it possible, this mellow warmth, although it is different from Kong Mo's Haoran righteousness, is a kind of righteous path heaven and earth breath.

And at this moment, the holy power on Shi Hua's body is more warm than Kong Mo's heroic righteousness, which makes people feel full of affinity and comfort.

Even Kong Mo, who was a saint, was unconsciously infected with his heart.

"What did you have an epiphany?"

Kong Mo understood that every sage being able to have an epiphany was an understanding of one of the thousands of heavenly daos, and the understanding from it was recognized by heaven and earth.

What Kong Mo himself had an epiphany was the right path of heaven and earth, the aura of Haoran.

And on Shi Hua's body, Kong Mo seemed to be able to feel the same thing as his own holy power, but there were also many differences.

This is also what makes Kong Mo a little confused.

"It's the common people, the heavens and the earth."

Shi Hua said softly, looking at Kong Mo, the two of them collided with each other, but everything was derived in the air.

Heaven and earth, with all things as the mainstay, and benevolence as the law, seems to be the same as Kong Mo's heroic righteousness, but it is also with Kong Mo's righteousness to the left.

The two looked at each other for a long time, but finally Kong Mo slowly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and sighed softly.

"After all, you have to have your own path, but also to go your own way, you can have an epiphany of all things in heaven and earth, you can have an epiphany of the common people, you have not gone astray, and you are happy to be a teacher."

After Kong Mo withdrew his gaze, the holy power on Shi Hua's body gradually faded, and he stood up very respectfully and bowed to Kong Mo.

It's just that the hands are no longer the usual bow of Ye Chao's scholars, but have been replaced by a strange folded hands.
