Chapter 41: The Secret History of Confucianism
Li Jinghong was boxing under the cliff peak waterfall when he suddenly heard a voice above his head.
"The book sword sect is flat, come and ask for the sword!"
Immediately after, he heard a voice from the main peak of Zhenlong Mountain: "Ask your mother's sword!"
I saw a sword light rising into the sky, like a comet hitting the moon, directly cutting down the two people of the Heavenly Sword.
After the half-pillar incense, two men in Confucian shirts with swords hanging from their waists appeared outside the Zhenlong Mountain Great Array with a disgraced face.
Although Zhang Hengzhi had Haoran Qi to protect himself and not fall too badly, the feeling of falling from a high altitude was simply too sour, so that after he landed, he almost vomited bile.
Standing outside the Zhenlong Mountain Great Array at this time, he said with a pale face: "Master, the people of the God Slaughter Sect are too unreasonable. ”
Lu Jian straightened his clothes, coughed lightly and replied: "It's good not to be reasonable, and it's not reasonable for us to come here." ”
"Then we're here...... Fighting?"
"Hengzhi, you are indeed the most perceptive of my many disciples. ”
Zhang Hengzhi scratched his head, a little confused.
Among the nearly 1,000 disciples of the Shujian Sect, his qualifications are not the best, and his understanding is average, but whether he is reading or cultivating, he likes to drill the horns of the bull, and when he encounters problems that he doesn't understand, he will definitely break the casserole and ask to the end, so he has won the title of 'stubborn cow'.
Just now, the master said that he was the most enlightened disciple, and he really deserved it.
Lu Jianping's hair was gray, and he looked like an old man in his fifties, but in fact, he was a Jindan sword cultivator who had lived for nearly two hundred years.
Among the twelve sage masters of the Shujian Sect, Lu Jianping's knowledge and combat power are among the top few, but there are not many students under him, only less than a hundred.
There are many Confucian disciples who want to worship under him, but they have been rejected by Lu Jianping, and the more talented and intelligent the Confucian disciples, the less Lu Jianping treats them.
On the contrary, a 'stubborn cow' like Zhang Hengzhi is particularly favored by him, which makes many Confucian geniuses unable to figure out their heads and can only switch to other sages.
Lu Jianping patted Zhang Hengzhi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hengzhi, don't feel that your qualifications are not as good as others, so you feel inferior." The journey of the avenue begins with a single step, everything needs to be moved forward step by step, so that it can walk steadily and steadily, but it is those talents who are always thinking of a thousand miles in a step, leaving their fellow brothers behind, so that they have embarked on a wrong path. If you don't believe it, you can look through the demon eradication files in the academy, which demon eradication war, isn't it the genius who dies the fastest, and the most dies? The reason is actually very simple, it is because they are walking too fast, and the foundation of each layer of the realm is not solid, so they will die young. ”
Zhang Hengzhi was slapped twice by him just now, and he felt that the qi in his body was a lot more stable, and he no longer had the dizziness of falling from a height.
He hurriedly bent down and bowed his hand, "Thank you, Master." ”
Lu Jianping waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is not the Book Sword Sect, don't care about so much red tape, you are not tired, I am tired." ”
Although Zhang Hengzhi didn't dare to disobey his master's intentions, he was usually used to the etiquette in Confucianism, so he bowed his hand again and said, "Disciple understands." ”
Lu Jianping smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he didn't accuse Zhang Hengzhi.
He looked up at the main peak of Zhenlong Mountain and said slowly: "Everyone in the world knows that the God Slaughter Sect is the first demon sect in the Northern Confucian Kingdom, but they don't know that Chen Taibai, the founding ancestor of the God Slaughter Sect, is the most orthodox Confucian saint in the world. ”
"What? Mrs. Chen...... Chen Da Jianxian turned out to be a member of our Confucian sect!?" Zhang Hengzhi had a shocked look on his face.
Since he was sensible, he had heard a lot of rumors about Chen Taibai.
It is said that this great sword immortal of the Ascension Realm has a very strange personality, and kills people according to his mood and preferences, as long as he does not like the eyes, whether he is an ordinary man or a relative of the emperor, he will all be killed with one sword.
There are even rumors among the people that Chen Taibai is a big devil who likes to eat people's hearts and livers, if anyone cries in the middle of the night, as long as they say the word 'Chen Taibai' to the child, to ensure that the child goes to bed honestly.
Of course, Zhang Hengzhi naturally couldn't believe these rumors, but he couldn't have imagined that Chen Taibai's true identity turned out to be a Confucian saint.
Lu Jianping sighed and continued: "This is all the old Huang calendar, at that time Confucianism was the strongest among the three religions, and then for some reason, Chen Taibai actually betrayed Confucianism, and opened a sect in Zhenlongshan, and under the anger of the Confucian Academy, he moved Chen Taibai's saint card out of the ancestral hall, but the strength of Confucianism was also greatly weakened, and it was steadily suppressed by Buddhism and Taoism. ”
After listening to this secret past, Zhang Hengzhi couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
However, Lu Jianping said something more secret: "Hengzhi, if you think that we came to Zhenlongshan to ask for swords, we are to clean up the portal for Confucianism, then you are very wrong." ”
Zhang Hengzhi really didn't understand a little, and asked out loud: "If the Confucian Sect wants to clean up the portal, why don't you ask the sword before Chen Taibai ascends, and you have to wait for him to ask the sword after he ascends?"
"Yes, you've finally found the crux of the problem. ”
"I implore Master to answer the students' doubts. ”
Lu Jianping stroked the beard on his chin, and said helplessly: "Do you think that the Confucian sect doesn't want to get rid of Chen Taibai's eye-catching nail as soon as possible? That's because when Chen Taibai betrayed the Confucian sect, he took away the Confucian sect's Zhenzong Immortal Sword." Chen Taibai was originally the No. 1 Great Sword Immortal in the Northern Confucian Kingdom, and with the Confucian Immortal Sword in his hand, he was really invincible in the world, and the Flying Ascension Realm monks of the realm were not his opponents. ”
Then, he turned his head to look at Zhang Hengzhi and asked, "Do you want to say, why didn't our Confucian Holy Master make a move?"
Zhang Hengzhi hurriedly nodded.
Lu Jianping coughed lightly, and replied with a serious face: "This question is not clear to the teacher. ”
Zhang Hengzhi thought that he could hear a secret past again, but he heard this answer that was not an answer, and he was suddenly a little speechless.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said cautiously: "Master, I understand, that's why our Confucian sect will wait until Chen Taibai ascends, come to Zhenlong Mountain to ask for the sword, and by the way, take back the fairy sword?"
Lu Jianping patted him on the shoulder vigorously and laughed: "It is worthy of being my disciple Lu Jianping, and his understanding is high." ”
Zhang Hengzhi suddenly bared his teeth and grinned.
Not because he deserved it after being praised by the master, but because he ...... When Master patted him on the shoulder just now, it was so hard that he almost snapped his shoulder.
At this moment, a slight ripple suddenly flashed in the mountain protection array of Zhenlong Mountain, and a gap appeared in the sword array, which had always been impermeable.
A young man who was also wearing a Confucian shirt instantly appeared on the other side of the big array, looked at the master and apprentice and asked, "May I ask who wants to ask about the sword?"
