Chapter Twenty-Four: The Sage of Confucius
The wind blows in this peaceful land.
The water is gurgling and flowing into the river, and the red carp leaps up and down in the clear water spring, and the sound of 'plopping' water is like a heavenly sound.
Two people, a pavilion, a waterfall.
This tranquil picture is like a landscape painting, tranquil and moving, quiet and peaceful.
Time passed quickly, more than an hour later.
The man in white stood up with a smile, shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile.
"The sage's chess skills are excellent, and I am ashamed of myself."
The old man laughed, stroked the white whisker that he dragged to his chest, and smiled proudly.
"Haha, the chess game is fun in its process, and winning or losing is really not fundamental, so don't care too much."
Then, the old man's expression became slightly serious, and his wise eyes looked directly into the eyes of the man in white, and said seriously.
"Did you learn anything from these games?"
The man in white looked slightly sinking and fell into deep thought.
The old man smiled slightly, did not interrupt his speech, just watched quietly.
And then another hour passed.
The man in white suddenly raised his head and sighed.
"There is a time when everything loses, just as there is always a time when a chess game is decided, and the defeat of human beings lies in the short life span."
"The meaning of the sage is to let me go with the flow, and not to pursue a change of life against the sky, after all, do children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren?"
The voice of the man in white was full of loneliness and loneliness, and for the first time, there was confusion in his eyes.
When the old man heard this, his wrinkled cheeks showed a kind and kind smile, and he said slowly.
"The answer to the chess game is not fixed, it depends on the person, it varies from person to person, and the old man can't answer this question."
The man in white fell silent again, and then said.
"The world is so big, but the saint can look at the things of the world, and he should know the difficulties of the younger generations. My lifespan is not a few years later, and seeing that the end is approaching, if I can't calm the rebellion of the desolate beasts and the affairs of the gods, the human race will be destroyed. ”
"I would like to ask the saint to tell me the answer, what is the method, can completely solve the source of the desolate beast, and cut the grass to the roots."
As he spoke, a strong killing intent burst out from the eyes of the man in white, which immediately dyed his eyes red.
The old man smiled lightly, didn't say a word, just raised a cup of tea on the table and drank it all.
The tea flowed down his throat and into the inner house, making a 'grunting' sound, and the old man wiped off the water stains on his white beard, and looked directly into the eyes of the man in white.
Then, said with a smile.
"You already have the answer, don't you?"
"When the human race was in the most danger, an Eastern God was born, why can't another 'Eastern God' be born when the rebellion of the wild beasts is quelled?"
The man in white was silent, then suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Has the saint seen the results?"
The old man shook his head slightly, and smiled without saying a word.
Just as the old man wanted to pick up the teacup and take a sip, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes looked in another direction, and then smiled.
"Haha, he's coming."
Dongfang God turned around slightly, and sure enough, not long after, not far away, he saw a person wearing a mask, walking towards this side.
"Little friend, can you go up here and talk about it."
The old man's voice was heard everywhere here, and it was incomparably clear.
The masked man nodded, and landed in the pavilion at the bottom of the waterfall.
After looking around, he sat back on the stone chair, drinking tea and quietly looking at the man in white, and the old man who seemed to be smiling at him, the masked man's eyes revealed solemnity.
"Little friend, don't be nervous, we're not your enemies."
Seeing the masked man standing on the edge of the pavilion, the old man smiled heroically and said.
"Come and sit down, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
The masked man's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and he turned his face to the old man and said.
"Waiting for me for a long time? Who are you? ”
The old man smiled slightly, stroked his slender white beard, and said with a smile.
"The old man is a little older, you are a little older, call you Mo Tian, can you?"
As soon as the old man spoke, he was suddenly startled that the masked man's eyes changed slightly, squinted his eyes slightly, and pondered for a while, but he still took off his mask, revealing the young face below.
This masked man is Mo Tian.
Mo Tian, who returned from Babylon, was directly teleported to the Bronze Tower, and following the message left by Zhang Xiaopang outside the Bronze Tower, Mo Tian waited until another day after the Five Saints left, and then re-entered the Bronze Tower.
Originally, according to Zhang Xiaopang's information, there should be a mysterious person with real power, hidden in the bronze tower, if you don't see him leaving, try not to go in.
But Mo Tian couldn't wait, the danger of Cloud City was already imminent, as long as he found out the third layer, he would immediately rush to Cloud City.
But he didn't expect that on the third floor of the bronze tower, someone could tell his identity at a glance.
The meaning of his mask here is completely lost.
"Who the hell are you?"
Mo Tian's expression was very serious, looking directly at the old man's face, and asked.
"As for the identity of the old man, it may be hard to believe it if I say it myself. So, I think it's up to this little friend. ”
The old man laughed, and looked at the man in white who was quietly drinking tea on the other side.
Seeing the old man's gaze towards him, Dongfang God smiled faintly, put down the teacup in his hand, looked in the direction of Mo Tian, and said slowly.
"Three years ago, I was fortunate enough to get a scroll of Qin Shi Huang in the mausoleum of a Qin Dynasty general, called the First Emperor Sutra."
"According to the records of the First Emperor's Scripture, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a powerful man who was well-versed in ancient and modern times, who could turn into the sea with a stroke of pen and ink, and mobilize the majestic spirit of heaven and earth with a movement of Chrysostom."
Under his philosophy, tens of millions of scholars have been cultivated and the righteousness of the world has been cultivated. Everywhere he passed, gods, demons, cows, and ghosts sat on the ground and took refuge in his religion. ”
"Every strong person he has cultivated is the strongest in the world. If you are on one side at will, you can protect it for a hundred years, and you are a legend in the world. ”
"According to historical records, this legendary powerful man fell in the city of Lucheng Surabaya because of the fading of his ideas, and was worshiped on the temple."
"But that's not the case."
"According to the First Emperor's Scripture, this powerful man did not die, but disappeared in a mysterious place after the establishment of the Qin State,"
The man in white slowly recounted what he knew.
"The mysterious place, covered in blue and transparent, reveals the ancient years, leads to heaven, descends to the earth, and the body of Haoran contains thousands of rare and exotic beasts, which are ancient and strange things."
Mo Tian nodded, this mysterious place should be the Bronze Tower.
"There is a note in the First Emperor Sutra that this strong man has found another way to directly enter the third world of the mysterious place with the ability to reach the heavens, and from then on he will live a lifetime with heaven and earth."
The man's gaze in white gradually fell on the old man's body.
And this man's name is ...... Confucius! Sage Kong! ”
