Chapter 172: Ghost Saint Stele
"Boom!"
In just a moment, Chen Shaojun's temperament rushed through the bottleneck and reached ten buckets of literacy!
There was also a vast aura rushing up from the Baihui acupoint above his head, the light was extremely bright, like the sun and the moon in the realm of the ghost clan, overshadowing everything around, even the young man in white on the side couldn't help but look sideways at this moment, and subconsciously looked at Chen Shaojun.
"It turns out that the meaning of the eight hundred refers to this, which is not at all what the world understands now."
Chen Shaojun said secretly.
Looking at the words on the Analects, Chen Shaojun felt like an initiation, and many of the originally stagnant places were suddenly solved, and Chen Shaojun was like a treasure.
"Every word is a jewel, this is a real word bead!"
Chen Shaojun couldn't let go of the volume.
Time passed slowly, and there was silence all around, except for the crackling of the campfire. The young man in white sat on the black rock beside him, motionless and silent.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Shaojun's literary atmosphere continued to grow, and he had been promoted from the beginning of the Ten Dou to the peak of the Ten Dou, not only the growth of the literary style, but after being promoted to the Ten Dou, the Confucian and Taoist literary atmosphere would tend to be perfect, as pure and flawless as white jade.
To reach this step, Chen Shaojun is still only a trace away from a change in energy and quality, and he directly breaks through from the realm of the master to the level of Confucianism.
In the line of Confucianism and Taoism, although there are thousands of students in the world, there are far fewer who can become great Confucians.
Confucianism and Taoism, starting from an apprentice, reciting scriptures, figuring out knowledge, and growing oneself, this is a process of growth, and only the moment when you become a great Confucian can you be considered truly successful, such as a small sapling experiencing wind and sun, focusing on growth, and finally growing into a towering tree.
And Chen Shaojun now tends to grow into a towering tree.
Once he broke through, Chen Shaojun would be able to go to the Holy Temple to receive the jade disc after returning to the Jingshi, thus officially becoming enlightened and obtaining the endless righteousness above the Nine Heavens.
The birth of any great Confucian is a grand event for Confucianism and Taoism, and Confucianism and Taoism will announce it to the world to celebrate this event.
Moreover, the Ziju school is in decline, only his father Chen Zongxi and Chen Shaojun are two, if there is a second Confucian, it will also be a great boost to the prestige of the Ziju school.
There are many books in the world that can improve the literary atmosphere, but there are very few that can help scholars and Taoists to improve and be promoted to Confucianism, which is also the special feature of the Ghost and Sage Analects.
"Huh?"
When turning to the last page of the Ghost Sage Analects, Chen Shaojun frowned slightly, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the young man in white on the side.
"Senior,...... It seems that there are a few pages missing from this book of ghost saints. ”
Chen Shaojun's literary tone has accumulated to the peak, and he is only a trace away from being able to enter the hall and become a great Confucian, but at this critical time, Chen Shaojun suddenly found that the ghost saint Analects was missing a few pages.
That's right, Chen Shaojun read it several times and found that it was indeed missing a few pages.
"Found out? The book is indeed missing a few pages. But this is the real Ghost Treatise, and that's what this book was when I first got it. ”
The bonfire crackled, and the young man in white said lightly, looking very calm.
"How is that possible? The ghost spider silk is extremely tough, and it is difficult to invade by fire and water, could it be that someone tore it off? ”
Chen Shaojun's eyes could not hide his surprise.
Regarding Chen Shaojun's reaction, the young man in white was not surprised at all:
"I was the same as you when I first got this book, but it was none other than the ghost saint himself who tore off the last few pages."
“!!!”
Chen Shaojun was shocked, his eyes widened, and his heart set off waves.
"The Ghost Saint just tore off the last few pages, and didn't destroy them, and it was hard for me to understand at the beginning. After searching through the place, I found that the Ghost Sage had put those pages in the stele. ”
The voice of the young man in white continued to come from his ears.
"The stele?"
Chen Shaojun's eyes showed an inquiring look.
"Well, you can also call it a ghost monument. It's not far from here, do you want to see it? ”
"Hmm."
Chen Shaojun nodded.
The young man in white flicked his sleeves, stood up from the black rock, and quickly walked into the distance.
The two of them came to a halt on another adjacent hill.
Chen Shaojun finally saw the ghost monument in the mouth of the young man in white.
This is a stone tablet more than one person high, the whole body is pitch black, its material looks very special, and the ordinary rock of the ghost clan realm is not the same, the surface of the stone tablet is engraved with patterns, and simple, a few words engraved in a vertical way.
"Heaven is profitable, the earth is profitable, ghosts and gods are harmful, and humanity is evil."
Chen Shaojun muttered to himself, read out the contents of the stone tablet, then frowned, and turned his head to look at the young man in white on the side.
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know, that's exactly what I'm confused about."
The young man in white said lightly, knowing that what Chen Shaojun asked was not a literal meaning, but why the ghost saint left this stone tablet and put the last page of the ghost saint's treatise into the stone tablet.
"I've been here many times, and I've always wanted to understand the mysteries of the stele, but I haven't been able to get to the point, but at least one thing can be confirmed, there must be a reason why the ghost saint did all this."
The young man in white said lightly.
Chen Shaojun was silent, with a contemplative look in his eyes.
Although the ghost sage is from Confucianism, the sentence he left on the stone tablet is from the Book of Changes, and the complete text should be "Heavenly Tao is profitable and humble, the earth is profitable and humble, ghosts and gods are harmful and blessed, and humanity is evil and humble." ”
"As a disciple of the Ghost Sage Confucianism, why would he leave such an inscription after death?"
Chen Shaojun muttered to himself, puzzled in his heart.
"That's not right!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Chen Shaojun's mind, and he suddenly remembered something.
Although the words "Heavenly Way is profitable" come from the Book of Changes, it is not unrelated to Confucianism, Confucius is well-read, thirsty for knowledge, so "threesomes must have my teacher", according to Confucianism and Taoism, Confucius in his later years began to be interested in the Book of Changes.
"Since the ghost saint is a disciple of Confucius Saint Master, he must have also come into contact with it, and even heard Confucius Saint Ancestor talk about it himself, there must be a deep meaning in this."
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart, but even so, Chen Shaojun was still at a loss for the intention of the ghost saint.
"Senior, you just said that the last page of the Ghost Saint Analects is in this stone tablet?"
Suddenly, Chen Shaojun raised his head and looked at the man in white on the side.
"Yes, you should be able to sense it."
The young man in white said, glancing at Chen Shaojun's hand as he spoke.
Chen Shaojun looked down and saw the pages in his hand moving slightly, as if he was attracted by the stone tablet.
"Huh?"
Chen Shaojun's heart moved, and he immediately took two steps closer in the direction of the stone stele, and sure enough, the original movement of the Ghost Saint Analect was not obvious, but at this moment, the tremor amplitude suddenly increased by more than ten times, and the vibration became particularly obvious.
"Are the pages really in there?"
Chen Shaojun was greatly surprised, he also observed carefully, but he didn't feel the existence of the last page of the Ghost Sage Analects in the stone tablet at all, and this was just a page, why did the Ghost Sage do more.
Almost subconsciously, Chen Shaojun took two more steps forward, and at the same time stretched out a palm and pressed it towards the stone tablet, wanting to investigate the reality through spiritual power.
And at the moment when Chen Shaojun's palm touched the stone tablet, something unexpected happened-
"Boom!"
Without the slightest warning, a majestic ghostly aura rose into the sky like mountains and seas, and suddenly burst out from the stone tablet.
Chen Shaojun was taken aback, almost instinctively, a strong sword aura erupted from his body and enveloped his body, and at the same time, the star core magic weapon in Chen Shaojun's body also bounced up instantly, turning into a light mask that enveloped Chen Shaojun in it.
However, the power of the Ghost Saint is so powerful, even thousands of years later, the ghost qi he left in the stone tablet is definitely not something that Chen Shaojun can resist, boom, just for a moment, the shield of the star core magic weapon was instantly broken, and even the Beidou Sword Qi that erupted in Chen Shaojun's body collapsed under the erosion of this ghost qi.
"Not good!"
Chen Shaojun didn't expect that the ghost saint would still leave such a powerful prohibition in the stone tablet, Chen Shaojun's body shook, and he used the Beidou vertical and horizontal technique to go outward, but the power of the ghost saint was so strong, although he was a ghost clan, but his consciousness was already an out-and-out sage power, but in an instant, that huge ghost qi had already gone straight to Chen Shaojun's door.
But at this time, hum, the golden page in Chen Shaojun's mind shook suddenly, and an invisible force burst out from the golden page, and the next moment, the majestic ghost qi seemed to encounter some invisible obstacle, and it stopped abruptly half a foot away from Chen Shaojun, and then dissipated violently.
"What's going on?"
Chen Shaojun was greatly surprised in his heart, he subconsciously looked at the stele in front of him, but at this time, it seemed that he was stimulated by an external force, and the inside of the stele also changed.
I saw that the majestic ghost qi did not disperse after it stopped, but lingered around the stone tablet, and some of the ghost qi fluttered, gathering together as if it had its own life, and then quickly turned into a human form.
The man looked to be in his fifties, with a fine face, a slightly dark complexion, a crown scarf on his head, and an elegant black robe that reached the floor, giving people the feeling of being rich and extremely knowledgeable.
Ghost Saint!
Chen Shaojun was stunned in his heart and stopped, although he had never seen this ghost saint thousands of years ago, and he didn't know his specific voice and smile, but when this phantom appeared, Chen Shaojun immediately knew that this was the owner of the stone tablet, the author of the ghost saint Analects, and also the most special existence among the disciples of Confucius Sheng.
This scene appeared very suddenly, almost subconsciously, Chen Shaojun turned his head to look at the young man in white on the side, but he saw that the other party's eyes were flat, standing there quietly, motionless, obviously this scene in front of him was not the first time he had seen it.
"Heaven is profitable, the earth is profitable, ghosts and gods are harmful, and humanity is evil."
However, at this time, a familiar sentence came into his ears, and the lips of the ghost saint who appeared in the stone tablet opened slightly, and he read out the content on the stone tablet.
Chen Shaojun looked at it, but found that the ghost saint phantom that had just emerged dispersed with a bang after reciting these words, and then the scene in front of him changed again.
