Chapter 17: The Fall of Confucianism
Lies can be broken by argument, but how can such a burning desire be broken?
Such a person who sees all the dangers ahead as nothing, does not regret even if he dies, and is willing to turn into the sprout of a prairie fire, what argument can make his heart shake?
Even if the power of the Immortal Dao is said, how could Xu Qi, who had already realized that he had died in the battle with the Immortal Dao, be shaken by the strength of the Immortal Dao?
Wang Mingshi, who was helpless and unable to identify his true heart, felt a burst of bitterness in his heart.
"Drink!"
Knowing that today is a kick to the iron plate, Wang Mingshi also knows that the winner has been divided. But he was still unwilling and wanted to make a final struggle.
Like a meteor, Wang Mingshi rushed towards Xu Qi with the image of the Confucian saint who was about to turn into a shadow behind him.
Xu Qi raised his head in the face of Wang Mingshi's desperate impact, did not take a step back, and shouted: "Rotten old dog, you dare to act rashly?!"
"You dare to act rashly?!"
"You dare to act rashly?!"
......
With Xu Qi's clear drink, all the ordinary people behind him looked angry, and opened their mouths to shout at Wang Mingshi, who rushed towards Xu Qi.
One after another, the sound waves drummed, like ripples, rippling.
Wang Mingshi, who was like a meteor, collided with this wave of sound, and the image of the Confucian saint behind him collapsed in an instant, and the white light wrapped in his body was also washed clean by this sound wave.
Like a bird hit by a slingshot, Wang Mingshi fell down in mid-air in a daze, and landed on the ground three feet away from Xu Qi's feet.
"Hah...... Ha ......"
Wang Mingshi turned over with difficulty, sat up, looked at Xu Qi with an indifferent face, and said with a wry smile: "Xu Qingzhi? Xu Qingzhi...... Ha ha...... It's really a hero out of a teenager, a hero out of a teenager......"
His body was originally like a physical entity before, but now, Wang Mingshi's figure is gradually fading.
Looking at his palm, which had become somewhat transparent, Wang Mingshi shook his head and said to Xu Qi: "Mr. Xu has great ambitions, and Wang admires him." Today's defeat is under Mr. Xu's mind, and Wang is worthy of this life......"
After a pause, Wang Mingshi said: "It's just, Mr. Xu, how can you do what you have to do by yourself? I can show you a way, so that you can borrow the power of Confucianism and do what you want to do as best you can." ”
Knowing that his consciousness was about to die, and knowing that what Xu Qi said was his firm heart, Wang Mingshi also wanted to help Xu Qiyi.
From the bottom of his heart, Wang Mingshi was unwilling to become an ant at the foot of the Immortal Dao, and he was unwilling to bow to the Immortal Dao. But it was useless to fight many times, so Wang Mingshi had other thoughts in his heart.
But what he saw from Xu Qi today gave Wang Mingshi some hope for the matter of fighting against the Immortal Dao.
Now that consciousness is facing extinction, Wang Mingshi does not blame Xu Qi. The battle of consciousness was originally raised by himself, and it is really no wonder that his consciousness is dying out. Besides, even if there is no matter today, his death is approaching, and it is only a matter of time before he pinches it in these three or five days.
Listening to Wang Mingshi's words, Xu Qi probably knew what he was thinking, sighed, and said: "From the bottom of my heart, you are also unwilling to bow your head to the Immortal Dao, right?
"Mr. Xu knows me. Wang Mingshi reluctantly raised his hand and arched his hand towards Xu Qi. After a pause, Wang Mingshi said: "Since Mr. Xu understands me, why doesn't Mr. Xu listen to me, take over my name, lead Confucianism, and complete my unfinished business, what you have to do?"
Xu Qi shook his head and said: "Cultivation is like you, and your heart is like you, and you also have a heart of retreat when facing the immortal path." If you want to come to Confucianism, there should be many people with the same mentality as you. Confucianism is helpful, but if I want to lead Confucianism, I must use thunderous means to clear Confucianism, such as the Confucianism in your previous mentality. When the time comes, blood will flow all over the ground and people's heads will be rolling, but it will not be very beautiful. ”
Wang Mingshi, whose figure was already transparent, smiled bitterly twice and said, "If you are really like me, and you can't be educated, then please let Mr. Xu clean up." It's a pity that Wang Mou's lifelong adherence to the truth was finally denied by himself, and then before he died, he was pointed out by Mr. Xu...... The world is impermanent, the world is impermanent......"
As he spoke, Wang Mingshi's voice stopped. Wang Mingshi, who was already transparent, disappeared before he could finish his words.
Xu Qi frowned, vaguely understood something in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "Is this the death of consciousness? If I was overwhelmed by Wang Mingshi's reasoning in the battle just now, then I'm afraid my fate will be the same......"
Before he had time to think about it, a phosphorescent light appeared in this side of the world, covering Xu Qizhou's body.
It was dark in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, Xu Qi found himself back in the grass house.
Wang Mingshi, who was opposite him, also woke up, Xu Qi looked at Wang Mingshi twice, and realized that something was wrong: this Wang Mingshi was stupid, his mouth was crooked, and he looked like he had changed from a Confucian who knew the classics to a fool.
"Lord!"
As soon as Xu Qi woke up, Chu Hongsleeve on the side hurriedly greeted him. She looked at Xu Qi carefully, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that the lord is okay." ”
"Naturally, this seat is fine, but it is a little draining. Xu Qi looked at Wang Mingshi, who was sitting opposite, and said, "When did this person become like this?"
Chu Hongsleeve said: "A moment before the Lord left the skull, this old Confucian became like this. The slave maid's heart is that the lord has won a complete victory and defeated the soul of this old Confucian student, but he is afraid that the soul of the lord will be damaged. ”
Xu Qi nodded and didn't say anything. Looking at Wang Mingshi, who had become stupid in front of him, Xu Qi was really a little scared in his heart. If he lost to Wang Mingshi just now, then now his consciousness has dissipated and he has become a fool, I am afraid that he will be himself.
I am afraid to return, but Xu Qi really has no hatred for Wang Mingshi from the bottom of his heart. In Xu Qi's view, the fight between the two is not a personal feud, but a difference in consciousness, a different principle they adhere to, a different path they take, and there is no personal grudge. Putting aside Wang Mingshi's retreating and shrinking reasoning, Xu Qi still has some admiration for Wang Mingshi, who fought against the Immortal Dao in the first half of his life.
It's a pity that this Confucian Venerable, who fought against the Immortal Dao for half his life, finally gave birth to a different will from his own heart because he couldn't fight the Immortal Dao, and finally fell because of himself. can look at Wang Mingshi's last words, this lost man finally found his heart at the last moment of the disappearance of consciousness, which can be regarded as another kind of consummation.
Seeing that Xu Qi didn't speak, Chu Hongsleeve was cautious and asked, "Lord, this Wang Mingshi's consciousness has collapsed, and he is already a wasted person, I don't know what to do with it?"
Xu Qi was silent for a moment, then tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said, "This is the master of this seat, you are so bold, dare to call him by his name?"
Chu Hongsleeve's face turned pale suddenly, although she didn't know what was going on, but if Jiuyang Demon Venerable said so, others would have to admit it.
Chu Hongsleeve didn't hesitate, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave should die!"
Xu Qi was silent for a while, until Chu Hongsleeve's heart was almost jumping out of his heart, and then he said, "Get up." ”
Chu Hongsleeves hurriedly stood up and retreated to the side.
Xu Qi stood up, tidied up the clothes on his body, looked solemn, arched his hand towards Wang Mingshi, and bowed.
Although Wang Mingshi had the heart to retreat from the Immortal Dao, he also did something to resist the Immortal Dao in the first half of his life. This gift is Xu Qi's respect for half of his fellow believers.
Chu Hongsleeve on the side saw it in his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "The Lord respects Mr. Wang as a master, and now he salutes him, it seems that it is indeed true......
Without waiting for her to think about it, Xu Qi, who had done the salute, stood up straight and pulled out the Xueliang long knife at his waist.
The frost blade flashed from Wang Mingshi's neck, bringing up a string of blood beads.
Wang Mingshi, who looked dumb and stupid, was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, blood gushed out from his neck like a tide. In the blink of an eye, Wang Mingshi lost his life.
There was a "plop" and the dead body fell to the ground. Xu Qi wiped the long knife back on his waist.
Wang Mingshi is also a serious Confucian Venerable, rather than letting him be like an animal, relying on instinct to survive, and waiting until the destiny of heaven to die again, it is better to give him a good time.
Xu Qi didn't have any hatred for Wang Mingshi's person, but had some respect for him in the first half of his life against the Immortal Dao. This slash that cut off Wang Mingshi's body, no matter what it looks like in the eyes of others, in Xu Qi's eyes, this is a respect for a person who can be regarded as a character.
Putting away the jade pendant and sword on Wang Mingshi's waist, Xu Qi sighed in his heart, and said to Chu Hongsleeve, who was already stunned behind him: "Find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and bury the master of this seat." ”
“...... The slave and the maid obeyed. ”
Although Chu Hongsleeve didn't know what was going on, she knew what she should do and what she shouldn't ask. Since the Lord has commanded it, then just do it.
Xu Qi nodded and turned to leave, but saw the skull that fell on the table. With a stroke of thought, he put the skull away as well.
In Xu Qi's opinion, this skull should be of greater use, not just the ability to play in Wang Mingshi's hands. Although I can't figure out the joints in this, I can take this and ask the well-informed Jiuyang Demon Venerable.
Out of the stone room, he returned to the stone room on a flying dragon boat, and sent Chu Hongsleeve to interrogate the two people who broke into Zhishi Mountain, Xu Qi took out a long knife and covered it with both hands.
As soon as his mind moved, Xu Qi came to the small world among the long knives.
Demon Venerable Jiuyang raised his eyes and looked at Xu Qi, and said, "You kid, you came just in time." This seat has a set of exercises that must meet your requirements, do you want to learn it? There is one more thing, this seat wants to ...... with you."
"I'm not in a hurry, I got something today, and I want to ask you if you know the origin of this thing. ”
As he spoke, Xu Qi described the skull he got from Wang Mingshi to the Demon Venerable Jiuyang.
"This thing ......"
After listening to Xu Qi's description, Demon Venerable Jiuyang frowned and thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I listened to your kid's description, the one you got is not like a treasure, but like a crack in the extraterritorial demon world......"
