And just when Dong Zhongshu was recovering the golden silk rain of the Natural Dao, Sang Hongyang's corpse fell from a height of 100 zhang not far from Li Changsheng's hiding place.
Li Changsheng quickly flew out of the hiding pavilion and landed beside Sang Hongyang. Seeing that he was not completely dead, there was still a trace of breath left.
"Who are you?" Seeing the white-clothed scholar in front of him, Sang Hongyang's expression froze, and the Shendao Academy came to ask the Legalist Academy about the crime, the two great saints were about to fight, and there were still people who didn't hide?
"Li Changsheng, a scholar of the Han Dynasty. Li Changsheng replied.
"It turned out to be you!" as soon as Li Changsheng said, he remembered it. The Han Empire did have an eighth prince, who was named a scholar of the Han Dynasty by Emperor Wu himself. It seems to be called an immortal son, and he is also a fellow practitioner of the book and sword. A high-ranking saint like Sang Hongyang usually doesn't pay attention to these ordinary people. However, the most outstanding young genius in the empire, the Eighth Prince, he still heard of it.
"Although I was hit by Dong Zhongshu's Xingchen Dao just now, I have an immortal-level Wenbao eight-foot mirror to protect me, and I haven't been hurt much. In this way, if you can save me from today's great calamity, I will pass on the strongest supernatural powers of the Legalist Academy to you. Sang Hongyang said eagerly to Li Changsheng.
After speaking, he took out a jade mirror-like treasure from his arms and showed it to Li Changsheng. Li Changsheng took a look, and the smooth surface of this Wenbao really had several cracks.
"Really?" Li Changsheng said lightly, "If you really haven't been hurt much. I'm afraid you'd have destroyed me long ago, and fled alone. With the cultivation of my university scholar. I'm afraid I can't even catch one of your supernatural powers. I am a scholar of the Military Academy, and I was named a scholar of the Han Dynasty by Emperor Wu himself. Do you think 'countrymen' are so easy to deceive?"
The last time Li Changsheng was at the Shujian Dao Conference, he had seen Dong Zhongshu use the Firmament Dao to fight against Zhuangzi, the second-generation sage of the Taoist Academy. Knowing the power of his punch, Li Changsheng judged that Sang Hongyang could not resist. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't dare venture out. Of course, even if his judgment is not 100% accurate, it is worth the risk he takes today.
Sang Hongyang said that just now, he wanted to tell Li Changsheng that his strength is still there, so don't act rashly. However, it was his words. Let Li Changsheng's tense heart let go.
Sang Hongyang is a strong saint, if he can be included in the book spirit, the benefits he will get can be imagined. Not only did he master most of the powerful supernatural powers of the Legalist Academy, but he also had powerful demonic supernatural powers to burn books and pit Confucianism. After taking him into the book spirit, everything in his mind was his own.
However, the Sage's knowledge of the sea is very strong, and it is ten times more difficult to collect than the Sword Saint. Therefore, Li Changsheng did not act immediately, but wanted to crush his spirit and belief first.
"What do you want?" Sang Hongyang's expression froze. In his heart, he was constantly thinking about how to let Li Changsheng save him.
"Your Legalist Academy is full of evil. I will destroy you now and take away the evil for the country. Then hand over your corpse to Emperor Wu, I estimate that Emperor Wu will cut off your head after getting your corpse. It was then transported to the various vassal states. Parade through the streets. Li Changsheng said lightly. Dong Zhongshu and Emperor Wu wanted to unify their beliefs, and he had already guessed something, so he judged that Emperor Wu would use him to make an example of him.
"Poof!" Sang Hongyang heard Li Changsheng's words. A mouthful of blood spurted out. He had already known some secrets of Dong Zhongshu and Emperor Wu, so he had no doubt that Emperor Wu would show his head to the public after he caught him. He is a saint and a strong man. Even when he died, his body could not be at peace. It's really sad.
Li ...... Little brother, things are not what you think. Thinking that his body would be humiliated after his death, Sang Hongyang felt a strong fear in his heart. Now that Dong Zhongshu is retracting his scholarly spirit, if Li Changsheng can promise to help him at this time, he will have a chance to escape.
So he said to Li Changsheng eagerly: "Actually, Dong Zhongshu, the dean of the Shinto Academy, is not as benevolent and righteous as you imagined, he is only benevolent and righteous on the surface, but his heart is full of intrigues and tricks. He colluded with Emperor Wu to establish the Shinto Academy, just to overthrow the hundred schools of thought and establish a unified faith to achieve ulterior purposes. He destroyed my Fajia Academy today, and it won't be long before he destroys the Bingjia Academy, and even the Ten Great Sword Sects. In order to gain Li Changsheng's trust, he also mixed a lot of truths with his lies.
And Li Changsheng was expressionless, just listening indifferently.
"And although I entered the Tao with criminal law, on the surface it seems to be cruel. But in fact, it is for the stability and stability of the entire Han Empire, without my laws, the Han Empire will fall into chaos. Compared with Dong Zhongshu, a hypocrite's Shinto Academy, our Legalist Academy has a much greater role. Aren't you a member of the Han Dynasty? If you save me today, you are helping the entire Han Empire. Seeing that Li Changsheng didn't mean to be moved, Sang Hongyang continued.
"You mean to say that you are a good person, and Dong Zhongshu is a big bad guy?" Li Changsheng said with a smile.
"You can say that. Sang Hongyang didn't expect Li Changsheng, a great Han scholar, to say such straightforward words, his expression was stunned, and then he said.
"But what kind of good people and bad people, I don't dare to be interested in them at all. I am a scholar at the Military Academy, and I have always only pursued victory and defeat and profit. Say, what good will it do if I save you. Li Changsheng directly interrupted him and said. In fact, a top powerhouse like Sang Hongyang and Dong Zhongshu can't clearly determine who is a good person and who is a bad person.
Which powerhouse who has cultivated to the level of a saint has not had countless blood on his hands? No top-level powerhouse can be completely clean, including the sword saints of the Ten Sword Sects. The definition of justice and evil can only be said that which of them is less bloody, and who can stick to the original intention of not killing civilians more. They have all used a lot of shady methods for the benefit of their respective colleges, but these methods are not known to ordinary people.
Dong Zhongshu and Emperor Wu wanted to destroy the other academies for their Dao. And Sang Hongyang's cultivation of the Demon Emperor Qin Emperor's supernatural powers, how could the purpose be simple? Therefore, the battle between him and Dong Zhongshu was all for his own cultivation of the Dao. There is no distinction between good and bad people. To put it in a more ugly way, it's dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair.
"You saved me, and I will pass on all the supernatural powers of the Legalist Academy to you. Hearing Li Changsheng's request for benefits, Sang Hongyang seemed to see hope, and said eagerly: "After learning the supernatural powers of the Legalist Academy, I will also contact the deans of other academies and ask them to make you a saint and a strong person together." When the time comes, you have the cultivation of a saint and have learned the supernatural powers of the seven major academies, and you will be able to compete with Dong Zhongshu's Shinto Academy. The burden of eradicating evil and maintaining the peace of the entire Han Empire will be handed over to you. ”
"Really?" Li Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "It's a pity that I'm not interested in any of this, I still want to arrest you and give it to Emperor Wu." To tell you the truth, I have a crush on his daughter, the eldest princess. If I hand you over to him, do you think Emperor Wu will disagree with this family business? I prefer beauties to improving my strength. ”
"Are you teasing me?" Sang Hongyang said coldly. I just tried my best to talk for a long time, and the co-authorship was all in vain.
"You're right, but from the beginning, I didn't intend to save you. Li Changsheng smiled and said, "By the way, what are you most afraid of in the Legalist Academy?
Although the supernatural powers of the Legalist Academy are extremely powerful, they believe that they are the judges of heaven and earth, and can judge all people, and in the pre-Qin period, they even produced the outstanding disciple of the Qin Emperor to unify the six kingdoms. However, the Legalist Academy has an eternal pain, that is, self-destruction. At the beginning, Shang Ying, the first generation of sage of the Legalist Academy, wrote the "Book of Shang Jun", created the name of the criminal law, and the magic power of the heavenly law. However, he was slandered as a rebel and was hunted down by King Huiwen. King Huiwen dispatched hundreds of swordsmen and scholars to defeat this first-generation sage and almost abolish his scholarly cultivation.
Later, Shang Ying fled from the Qin State and suffered from hunger and cold with several disciples while at the border. So they planned to stay at the hotel, but the innkeeper said to them: "As a guest, of course we welcome you, but please ask who you are, if you can't figure out your identity, I will be killed." This is Shang Jun's decree, and it cannot be violated. Shang Ying didn't dare to admit his identity, and walked out to look up to the sky and sighed: "I'm killing myself by doing this!"
This setback almost made him lose his Dao heart and completely sank. Therefore, the people of the Legalist Academy are most afraid of self-destruction, which can destroy their Dao heart.
In fact, the first generation of saints of the Seven Great Academies almost all had times when they were in a difficult situation. Confucius, the first generation of sages in the Confucian Academy, and his seventy-two disciples were trapped between Chen and Cai. At that time, they were penniless and did not eat for seven days. Yan Hui ran to beg for some rice to cook for Confucius, and Confucius saw Yan Hui grabbing the rice in the pot with his hands while cooking. Confucius pretended not to see it, and not long after Yan Hui brought the rice to Confucius, Confucius said: "I just dreamed of my ancestors, and I ate the delicious food first, and then gave them to eat." ”
Yan Hui said: "Xiang Xiang coal into the retort, abandon the food ominous, back to grab and eat." "It means that I saw grass ash in the pot, and it was ominous to throw it away, so I grabbed it and ate it. Confucius sighed: "Those who believe are still untrustworthy, and those who believe are still not trustworthy, and those who are afraid of are still not trustworthy." ”
Confucius didn't expect that Yan Hui was just an inner disciple of the academy, and he was so filial to himself. So he personally instructed him, so that Yan Hui comprehended more Confucian supernatural powers, and finally became a semi-saint cultivator.
The first generation of elite students of Confucian colleges all started with Zizi, such as Zilu, Zigong, and Zisi. As for the inner disciples and miscellaneous disciples, the names are not clearly specified, such as Yan Hui, Sima Niu, Gongye Chang, and Zai Yu...... More than 80 percent of Confucius's 72 powerful disciples were descendants, and their rise depended on talent. And the other rising inner disciples and miscellaneous disciples rely on strong perseverance and some special opportunities.
"Today, I'm going to let you, the saint of the Legalist Academy, taste for yourself all kinds of torture by the Legalists. Li Changsheng's expression froze, and he said to Sang Hongyang in a cold voice.
