The battle of raiding the princess became the final blow made by the Ancestral Spirit Hall to prevent the three princesses from going to the Qing Netherworld Continent. After the defeat in this battle, the Ancestral Spirit Hall did not make any more moves, but let the people of the Princess Mansion make the final preparations before leaving, and set sail on time to embark on the journey to the Blue Netherworld Continent.

The Qingming Continent is about 100,000 miles away from the Aurora Continent, and in the middle is an endless vast ocean. Even with the fastest sealing boat in the Qianguo at the moment, it would take four months to reach the Blue Netherworld Continent - this is undoubtedly a long journey.

The huge sealed boat, which was as high as the five-story building, moved rapidly under the drumming of twelve masts and fifteen sails, and soon threw Haizhou behind it below sea level.

After only half a day's journey, even the best lookout on the ship, standing on the highest mast of the "Longyue" and looking around with a crystal cylinder, could not see a trace of land at the intersection of sea and sky.

The sea breeze hunted, lifted Li Jingxuan's leather coat, pulled the edge of its thick sleeves tightly behind him, and fit densely on his slightly thin body, outlining his not unobstructed lines. Li Jingxuan stood at the bow of the boat, facing the sea breeze blowing in his face, and looked at the scene of the sea and sky with his mouth tightly pursed, but he was silent.

"What are you thinking?" a mellow voice sounded behind Li Jingxuan.

He turned his head abruptly to look up, only to see the blue-robed Confucian Xia Di walking behind him with his tall and burly body, looking at him lovingly.

"I'm thinking...... What am I going to do in the future? What do I need to do. Li Jingxuan's gaze looked ahead from afar. The focus of his gaze was fixed on a blue in the distance. It was the place where the sea and the sky met, and it seemed to be empty on the surface, but Li Jingxuan knew that there was an inevitable thing to his dream there - an elixir that could restore his severed limbs.

"I hope to get it soon......" Li Jingxuan thought to himself, but did not say such an idea. He just kept the thought in his heart, and his eyes became a little more eager.

His eagerness was not seen by Xia Di. Yes, Xia Di didn't understand his selfishness, so he just asked about his answer: "So, what do you want to do?"

"I want to restore the mutilated limbs, and then enter the refining gods, to hold the Yuan, repeat the inheritance of my Immortal Sect, and pass on the name of my Immortal Sect - this is my selfishness. Li Jingxuan said leisurely: "As for Gongxin, I hope that one day in the future, I can grow up, chase away the demons and barbarians in the north, and solve my thousand-year-old disaster." ”

"Public and private? Both of these ideas are very good, whether it is for the Immortal Sect or for my Aurora Terran, the purpose of the two is actually the same. Xia Di nodded approvingly: "The public is a human race, and the private is a sect, which is not selfish." The only thing that can be considered selfish is that you want to recover your limbs and pursue stronger power, and this idea is also prepared for the realization of the power of the sect and the human race - this is nothing. ”

"Maybe so!" Li Jingxuan was noncommittal: "What will happen in the future...... All I have here is imagination. As for the real future, I don't know. All I can do now is arm myself as much as I can and be ready for the opportunity to come. I once heard the saying that opportunity is always for those who are prepared. I'd rather prepare myself and wait for the opportunity to come than wait for it to come to me. ”

"Hmm...... That's what you say. Hearing this, Xia Di nodded lightly: "Since that's the case...... Then you can come to my cockpit in the afternoon. ”

"Noon?" Li Jingxuan was slightly stunned, then thought of something, and immediately nodded happily: "Thank you Master Xia, I will definitely go on time." ”

"That's good!" Xia Di nodded reservedly, took his hands, and left satisfied.

With Xia Di leaving, Li Jingxuan continued to stand at the bow of the boat for a while, and then left. It was already midday, and it was only a quarter of an hour before noon, and Li Jingxuan felt that he needed to make some preparations as soon as possible to deal with Xia Di's teaching.

This is Xia Di's first time teaching, and Li Jingxuan, who is well aware of the teaching rules of this world, naturally understands what the other party will teach him in the first lesson of the school year: it is not so much teaching as taking the school examination. After all, I am a transfer student rather than an initiation student, and new teachers always have to do some research on students to understand how far they have come.

"Wait, I'm afraid I'm going to have a thorough test for admission. Li Jingxuan understood this, and involuntarily showed a wry smile on his face.

No one likes exams, and Li Jingxuan is no exception.

He returned to his cabin, ate a few meatloafs hastily, and then went to Xia Di's cabin.

Although Xia Di agreed with him at noon, as a student, he didn't dare to wait until noon to arrive. Students, there must be student courtesy. There has always been only students waiting for teachers, and there is no reason for teachers to wait for students.

Therefore, before noon, Li Jingxuan honestly stood at the door of the cabin, and expressed his willingness to see the great Confucian Xia Di through the waiter: "After the end of school, Li Jingxuan came to ask Xia Shi for advice as promised. ”

"Ah...... You are that Li Jingxuan? Xia Shi once told me about you...... It's just, I'm sorry. Xia Shi had just had lunch before he went to sleep! Look...... Do you want me to wake up the teacher?" a little boy dressed in blue with a hairy girl on his head blinked his eyes and asked Li Jingxuan.

"Don't dare...... Since Xia Shi has already taken a lunch break, I naturally can't disturb him. Just let Master Xia sleep well, I just need to wait outside!" Li Jingxuan hurriedly waved his hand and said softly to Xiao Tong.

"Well, that's okay......" A faint smile appeared on Xiao Tong's round face, and then he turned inward and left Li Jingxuan's sight.

At this time, Li Jingxuan stood outside Xia Di's cabin with his hands bowed. He didn't speak, just waited quietly, maintaining this posture.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and Li Jingxuan let the wind and sun shine, but he didn't move.

Then, two quarters of an hour passed, and he stood like a sculpture outside the cabin.

Then, three quarters of an hour passed......

Half an hour passed......

An hour passed......

Li Jingxuan still hunched over, arched his hands, and let the sun above his head move little by little on his body.

Two hours later, the sun in the sky was already in the west, and the grand sunlight had become faintly softer, and the faint soft glow was projected down with scorching heat, causing a dense layer of sweat on the surface of Li Jingxuan's skin. Beads of sweat gathered on his forehead, condensed into bean-sized sweat and fell, seeping into his leather coat. His clothes were soaked with sweat, making him sticky and itchy, and he was saddened, but he endured it all without saying a word, waiting for the movement in the cabin.

I don't know how long it took, when the sun in the sky gradually changed orange, a long sigh suddenly sounded in the cabin: "Who knows the big dream first, I know it in my life...... Boy, is anyone visiting?"

"Master Xia forgot, but you made an appointment for Li Jingxuan to visit at noon. He came before noon, and now it's the middle of the day......" The boy's crisp voice sounded.

"Didn't he wait for nearly two hours?" Xia Di's voice was a little surprised, and then there was a snap, as if he covered his forehead: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"He won't let it!" said the boy aggrievedly.

"This is really rude!" Xia Di quickly stood up from the bed: "Let me change my clothes." He was a little louder, and then there was a sound of washing and dressing.

In this way, about a quarter of an hour later, the tall Xia Di appeared in front of Li Jingxuan in a brown deep coat. He saw Li Jingxuan standing in front of his cabin like a stone sculpture, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I just wanted to take a break, but I didn't want to sleep for so long, I'm really sorry!" he said, arching his hand to Li Jingxuan, and then grabbed his arm and pulled him into the cabin.

"Don't dare, I think maybe it's just that Mr. is too tired!" Li Jingxuan said politely.

At that moment, the two exchanged pleasantries, and then sat down separately for the guest and host, and the child on the side served tea to the two. Then Xia Di got down to business: "By the way, you said that you asked me for teaching...... You were originally in the Immortal Sect, and you cultivated in the Taoist lineage, and I don't know how much you know about our Confucian studies, so in today's lesson, I want to test you first. Take a look at your progress. ”

"Please ask Xia Shi to ask questions!" Li Jingxuan understood that this was the proper meaning of the question, and he should accept it immediately.

"Well, I'm sure you've heard some of the Confucian classics. The foundation of my Confucianism lies in the Four Books and Five Classics, in the righteousness and subtlety of the sages, and in the knowledge of the hundreds of schools of thought. I won't mention anything that is too profound. I just want to ask, what have you learned from the Four Books and Five Classics?" Xia Di asked very directly.

"Uh...... I have studied in the outer sect of the Immortal Sect for three years, and I mainly practice martial arts and cultivate the yuan, and I don't know much about poetry and books, four books and five classics, and I only learned the Analects and the Book of Changes!" Li Jingxuan replied honestly.

"The Analects and the Book of Changes?well, that's not bad!" Xia Di nodded lightly, "Since you said you know this, then I'll test the content of your two books." ”

"Please ask Master Xia to ask the question!" Li Jingxuan bowed.

"Zi said: 'Those who are virtuous must have words, those who have words do not have to be virtuous, those who are benevolent must have courage, and those who are brave do not have to be benevolent. 'What's the explanation?' Xia Di opened his mouth gently.

This is the relationship between Confucius's words of virtue and words, benevolence and courage. In Confucius's culture, 'virtue' and 'benevolence' are often synonymous, and 'for the government to be virtuous' is 'for the government to be benevolent'. Virtue is also commonly referred to as 'benevolence'. Therefore, the meaning of this statement is: 'A virtuous person must have good words, but a man who has good words is not necessarily virtuous.' Those who are virtuous must be brave, but those who are brave are not necessarily virtuous. Li Jingxuan bowed and replied.

"That—the Master speaks from time to time, and man never tires of talking, and then laughs, and man never gets tired of laughing; What do you do?" After listening to Li Jingxuan's answer, Xia Di nodded slightly and asked another question.

"The Master speaks when it is time to speak, so people don't hate him for talking, he laughs when he's happy, so people don't hate him for laughing, and when it comes to possessions, they don't hate him for taking things that are morally appropriate. Li Jingxuan replied.
