"You're trying to stop me?"

Chen Che took a step forward and broke the silence.

The black-robed stranger didn't speak.

In the next second, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived in front of Chen Che, and then grabbed Chen Che with a fierce claw!

Rumble!

Boom!

The two collided together in an instant!

The furious innate true qi overflowed in all directions, setting off a gust of wind, and then the black-robed man took two steps backwards.

"The Great Perfection of the Divine Realm, no wonder you are so arrogant......"

After stabilizing his figure, the black-robed strange man said in a solemn tone.

In Great Xia, due to the limited environment, it will become more and more difficult to improve after cultivating to reach the Qi Transformation Realm.

Not to mention the Divine Realm.

Now there are less than ten Divine Realm martial artists in the entire Great Xia.

Among them, the highest cultivation is only the middle stage of the Tongshen Realm.

There is not a single one in the middle of the Divine Realm.

And the person in front of him actually cultivated to the realm of the Great Perfection of the Divine Realm in such an environment as Great Xia, which is simply incredible.

"You're not human?"

Chen Che frowned slightly.

The innate true qi of this black-robed monster was mixed with a certain kind of violent aura that only high-level demon beasts had, which was not possessed by a martial artist like Shen Ting Song Xuanyi who had mastered demonization skills.

Moreover, this person's physical body is extremely strong, and he is even above the old man of the Pang family who sealed his cultivation a few days ago.

The cultivation of the Divine Realm, the innate true qi of the violent aura, and the extremely strong physical body......

Taken together, there is only one possibility.

This black-robed monster is a demon clan born in Great Xia.

Before he could continue to think about it, an indifferent voice came from inside the palace hall.

"Mr. Long, this person is the son of Xu Shi, Xu Shi's sacred heart is missing, and it is likely to be missing in this person!

If you kill him here, you might be able to break the seal of the Burning Sun Palace right now! ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the black-robed strange man known as Mr. Long quickly reddened, and his already very majestic body actually grew again, and then he shouted: "I know! Don't let you teach me! ”

As the words fell, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and then he stepped out and grabbed Chen Che with a claw again.

Compared to before, his palm was actually several times swelled at this moment, and what was even more terrifying was that there were sharp nails attached to each of his fingers, which at first glance looked like dragon claws!

Bang!

With a roar, the two fought again.

……

At the same time, on the streets a few miles away from the palace, a group of masters of the Fengyi Army with Wang Jingming and several other great Confucians were rushing in the direction of the palace.

In fact, as soon as Chen Che left, several Fengyi army masters decided to follow closely in case something changed.

But Chen Che's speed was too fast, so they didn't keep up for a while.

Looking at the empty streets, Wang Jingming, who was carried by a master of the Fengyi Army, sighed lightly.

He originally thought that Chen Che would go to the capital to explore the way, but he didn't expect that Chen Che, who had always been cautious and steady, would choose such a decisive way to deal with this matter from the beginning.

"Dare to ask if this is Mr. Wang Jingming?"

At this moment, an old man on crutches suddenly walked out of an alley not far ahead.

The old man was full of gray hair, and he looked trembling, as if he was about to die at any moment.

"I am, I don't know if my husband is ......"

Wang Jingming asked the Fengyi Army master who was carrying him closer.

"Alas...... I'm the dean's scholar! The dean said on his deathbed...... If one day I can meet a great Confucian outside of our Great Xia Academy, let me give him this letter!"

The content of this letter is about Prime Minister Xu! ”

The white-haired old man said in a trembling voice.

"What? Show me! ”

Wang Jingming immediately took the letter when he heard this, and then couldn't wait to open the letter and read it carefully, and it didn't take long for his expression to become shocked.

……

Time passed, twenty-one years ago.

Inside the Great Xia Academy.

Lu Xun, the dean of the academy, and several college masters led a group of new scholars to a forbidden place in the academy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this place is the entrance to the Gate of Reincarnation that has been suppressed by my Great Xia Academy!

There are four great kingdoms in my human race!

The demon clan in the north of Great Qin, the west of Great Zhou guards the wilderness, the south of Great Qi rejects the sea clan, and I, Great Xia, am responsible for guarding the gate of reincarnation!

Do you know why my Great Xia is far inferior to the other three kingdoms in terms of national strength, but no country will invade my Great Xia?

It is because of this gate of reincarnation that only the heroic righteousness of our Great Xia scholars can suppress! ”

Hearing this, a group of new science and technology scholars all showed pride.

Lu Xun smiled and said, "Do you see the runes on the ground?" Stand up and feel the breath of this gate of reincarnation.

This is one of the things that new science and technology scholars have to go through over the years. ”

A group of new science and technology scholars didn't think much about it when they heard this, and immediately walked to the rune.

As a result, as soon as they came into contact with the runes, some people couldn't help but shiver.

As the minutes passed, some people gradually couldn't support it and fell to the ground.

Only a plainly dressed, thin-framed scholar stood on top of the runes as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Lu Xun shook slightly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head and whispered to the person beside him, "What is this person's name?" What is the background? ”

"This person's name is Chen Zhao, and he is from Jizhou...... He is the only scholar from a civilian background in this group of jinshi this year. ”

The man next to him replied in a whisper.

Lu Xun nodded slightly, and then calmly said to the group of Jinshi who were still standing on the rune: "It's almost, you can go out." ”

Hearing this, a group of Jinshi hurriedly retreated from the runes as if they were under amnesty.

……

After a while, after everyone dispersed, Lu Xun looked at the gate of reincarnation and was stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly fell to his knees with a pop, and said with tears in his eyes: "Heaven will not die, my Great Xia......"

A few big Confucians next to him were also in tears when they saw this.

Ten years ago, a crack appeared in the seal of the Gate of Reincarnation.

In order to repair the seal, they tried many ways, but they all failed.

In the end, they had to choose the last option in the sacred texts.

Recreate an evil suppression artifact, and then the Confucian saint will sit on the artifact and repair the seal.

Confucian sage is a scholar who is above the great Confucian, even in Great Xia, it is rare to see it for decades.

In the past few years, they have been looking for scholars who are expected to become Confucian saints.

As a result, half a year ago, they really found someone.

This person's name is Xu Shi, and he is the tenth generation descendant of the Confucian saint Xu Xiao.

In order to cultivate this person into a Confucian saint, their Great Xia Academy can be said to have worked hard.

However, for some reason, the problem with the seal of the gate of reincarnation was leaked.

Xu Shi suffered countless assassinations from the hostile forces of the Terran race in just half a year, and they were originally well protected, but they didn't expect something to go wrong with Xu Shi's family, although the assassins were eventually killed, but Xu Shi also died.

When they saw Xu Shi's corpse, they almost despaired.

The seal of the Gate of Reincarnation will last for another twenty years at most.

If the seal cannot be repaired within these twenty years, and the great evils inside can break the seal, then not only will the entire Great Xia be destroyed, but even the entire human race may be greatly affected.

However, if a scholar with Confucian qualifications wants to become a Confucian saint, it will take at least twenty years to grow.

Therefore, if they couldn't find a replacement for Xu Shi within a year, then Great Xia would probably be finished.

What made them even more desperate was that all the people in Great Xia had the mark of the Gate of Reincarnation in their souls, so it was impossible for other countries to accept the civilians of Great Xia.

In other words, if Great Xia dies, then all the people of Great Xia will die with it.

But who would have thought that when Great Xia was in a desperate situation, there would be a Confucian saint among this year's Jinshi?

Ironically, this Confucian genius was still the only commoner in this group of jinshi.

"Dean, Chen Zhao was brought here by me."

A guard at the door said in a deep voice.

Lu Xun hurriedly stood up and looked back.

I saw that the scholar at the door was thin and weak, with a dazed expression, and he looked like a poor scholar who had never seen the world.

"Dean...... Do you have anything to do with the students? ”

Seeing Lu Xun's appearance, the thin scholar hurriedly lowered his head and asked respectfully.

"Your name is Chen Zhao?"

Lu Xun asked gently.

"Yes......"

The thin scholar replied with some flattery.

Although he took a fancy to Jinshi, his status among scholars was far inferior to that of the dean of Daxia Academy.

"I have something very important to tell you, would you like to hear it?"

Lu Xun asked again.

The thin scholar hurriedly replied: "The student listens! ”

A moment later.

The thin scholar looked at Lu Xun with a shocked expression, and said in disbelief: "Dean...... You asked me to save Great Xia? But I'm just a ......."

"Don't be presumptuous, you haven't become a Confucian saint yet, but you can in the future."

Lu Xun said in a serious tone.

Hearing this, the thin scholar hesitated for a moment and replied, "Dean, this matter is very important, and the student has to go back and discuss it with his wife." ”

Lu Xun was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head a little stunned.

"Silly boy...... If you accept this mission, you will be the enemy of all the hostile forces of our Terrans......

So don't say it's going back to Jizhou, you are in the capital, and it will take a lot of energy for my academy to protect you. ”

"But ......"

The thin scholar was a little dazed.

At this time, Lu Xun suddenly knelt down in front of the thin scholar, which directly startled the thin scholar.

"Chen Zhao, if the seal of the Gate of Reincarnation is broken, everyone in my Great Xia will die, including your lady.

You can have someone bring her to the capital, but if she does, she will definitely be assassinated like you...... It will become a breakthrough for others to threaten you......

If you can, I want you to change your identity and abandon all the people who have crossed paths with you in the past, so that you can be invulnerable. ”

The thin scholar looked shocked when he heard this.

He was just a scholar from an ordinary background, but he didn't expect such a big deal to happen suddenly!

Lu Xun continued: "Chen Zhao...... Anyway, your lady is just an ordinary person.

If she can't wait for you...... Maybe it won't be long before she gets remarried......

Instead of coming to the capital to follow you to face the life-and-death crisis every day, this may be a better ending for her. ”

The thin scholar kept shaking his head when he heard this, and said tremblingly: "My lady is not ...... Not that kind of person. ”

"Chen Zhao, in this way, you think carefully about it for a day, and then give me an answer after a day.

Since you have the qualifications of a Confucian saint, it means that you are a person who cares about the world.

Is it to watch the destruction of Great Xia and the death of everyone, or ......

I'm sure you'll make the right choice. ”

Lu Xun said with tears in his eyes.

……

After a few moments, the thin scholar left in a trance.

Lu Xun suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood at this time, and the whole person suddenly withered.

As a great Confucian, he pays attention to his actions and has a clear conscience.

However, the words he just said were not only a little against his will, but also a little persecutive, which made him lose his righteousness in an instant.

"Dean!"

Seeing this, several big confucians around immediately surrounded him.

After Lu Xun waved his hand, he bent down and bowed in the direction of Jizhou.

……

Late at night.

The thin scholar looked at the moon in the sky alone, his eyes full of pain and struggle.

I don't know how long it took, but a memory suddenly flooded through his mind.

It was a night he spent with his wife not long after he got married.

At that time, he was studying, the lady was doing needlework on the side, and the two shared an oil lamp.

Reading and reading, he suddenly asked temporarily: "Lady, so many people asked you to propose marriage before, why did you take a fancy to me, a poor scholar?" ”

The lady under the light smiled softly: "Because I have seen you study before, I felt that you have a gap in your chest and have the world in your heart."

Well...... Although you are a poor scholar now, I think you will definitely be a great Confucian in the future! ”

"Lady...... I don't really have much ambition, I just want to go back to this Stone Fire City one day as a county magistrate and protect this father and elder from evil invasions. ”

He replied with some embarrassment.

"Hehe, Xianggong, do whatever you want, I will always support you behind you."

The lady replied in a firm tone.

……

"The great Confucian...... The great Confucian ...... who stands up to the sky Lady ......"

The thin scholar muttered softly, and then suddenly hid his face and wept silently.

……

The next day.

The thin scholar came to Lu Xun with a sudden expression.

"Student...... It has been thought out that the students are willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving Great Xia. ”

"Good...... That's great!

From now on, your name will be Xu Shi, and this Miss Li is your wife. ”

Lu Xun shouted a pregnant young woman next to him.

The thin scholar glanced at the young woman, but there was no expression on her face.

Lu Xun glanced at the young woman again and asked, "Wanjun...... Are you afraid of danger? ”

When the young woman heard this, she knelt directly on the ground and cried bitterly: "As long as you can avenge your husband, as long as you can fulfill your husband's last wish, the little woman is not afraid of anything!" ”

"Good! Good! Xu Shi, from now on, my Daxia Academy will do my best to help you step into the realm of Confucianism! ”

Lu Xun's tone was extremely serious.

……

Five years have passed in a flash.

Daxia Ministry of Industry.

Xu Shi looked at Lu Xundao, who was already much older, and said, "Teacher, it takes a lot of Sun Stones to cast a holy weapon...... I'll announce the expropriation of the Sunstone. ”

"DID YOU KNOW...... Will you be saddled with countless infamy for this? ”

Lu Xun muttered.

"The disciple doesn't care anymore."

Xu Shi said softly.

……

Another fifteen years passed.

Lu Xun is terminally ill, and his days are numbered.

In front of the bed, Lu Xun took Xu Shi's hand and said softly: "Xu Shi...... Is the reason why you can't step into the realm of Confucianism for a long time because you feel ashamed? ”

Xu Shi was silent.

Lu Xun continued: "You haven't asked about your mother's news all these years, because you're afraid to face it, right? ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xun's expression became extremely complicated.

"Your lady is indeed a great person, but as long as she remarries, I can immediately give her glory and wealth...... But she's been waiting for you for twenty years, and she's actually pregnant when you leave.

Your son's name is Chen Che, he reads well, he took the county exam some time ago, and he could have been admitted, but I used some small means to make him fall off the list. ”

Lu Xun muttered.

Xu Shiyan, who had already entered middle age, instantly burst into tears in his eyes.

Lu Xun grabbed Xu Shi's hand and sighed lightly: "I know you hate me, but I don't have a choice...... Xu Shi, for the sake of their mother and son, for the sake of the entire Great Xia, I hope you can do your best to impact the Confucian Saint Realm. ”

"I will...... Teacher. ”

Xu Shi replied solemnly.

Lu Xun smiled with relief, then let go of his hand and passed away suddenly.

……

"Xiangye, the Burning Sun Stone Mine under Stone Fire City has been hollowed out...... The Jizhou Prefecture is organizing the evacuation of people, but it is likely that there will be some ...... left."

"Send two great Confucians to bring thousands of miles of rivers and mountains over, and be sure to protect everyone in Stone Fire City."

"Yes, Xiangye!"

……

"Xiangye, all the people sent to Stone Fire City by the Dean have disappeared at some point...... There seems to be a shadow of the Jishi Alliance behind this.

Your Majesty is afraid that the Jishi Alliance will make some moths at this critical moment to affect your state of mind, and he also secretly sent a group of masters to Stone Fire City, what exactly he wants to do, it's not easy to say. ”

Hearing this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Xu Shi's eyes.

……

"Xiangye, that family is missing, I don't know where they went, but that Chen Che seems to have changed to martial arts, and it is said that his talent is not bad, I think he may have escaped with his mother."

The men cautiously comforted.

……

Another three months passed.

The Great War of the Imperial City broke out.

The shouts of killing outside the Lieyang Palace shook the sky.

Xu Shi was in the Lieyang Palace and muttered, "As long as I die...... No one can kill me......"

After saying that, he looked in the direction of Jizhou, and then reluctantly pulled out the sword at his waist and killed himself with the horizontal sword.

Bright red blood instantly spilled into the Burning Sun Palace, and then a brilliant cyan light flew out of his body, merging with the Burning Sun Palace.

It didn't take long for the entire Lieyang Palace to be wrapped in a layer of cyan enchantment, suppressed above the Gate of Reincarnation.

"Or let him succeed!"

Seeing this scene, the eldest prince Chen Yan was extremely unwilling.

At this moment, a distant voice suddenly came from under the gate of reincarnation.

"This person's Confucian heart is deficient, so this seal is also flawed, you can find out the reason, maybe you can break the seal."

"Good!"

Chen Yan immediately agreed.

……

Near the Imperial City.

"That's how it is...... That's ...... like this."

Wang Jingming muttered softly.

At the end of the letter, the dean said that if one day the danger of Daxia is difficult to solve, he hopes that the person who reads the letter can help Chen Zhao prove it.

But...... How easy is it to say?

Bang!

At this moment, an earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded from the direction of the palace in the distance, followed by an earth-shattering dragon roar!

Hearing this, Wang Jingming's face changed and said, "Hurry up and go to the palace!" Chen Che has gone crazy for his father's business! ”

The Fengyi army master who was carrying him on his back did not dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed towards the palace with other Fengyi army masters.

……

A moment later, the crowd came to the front of the palace.

By this time, the hundreds of steps in front of the palace had been destroyed into a mess.

Bang!

In the distance, there was a sudden roar on the top of the palace hall!

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Chen Che, who was surrounded by a layer of blue light, blasted a monster with a head and a dragon tail out of the roof of the palace hall with one palm.

After the monster with a human head and a dragon tail landed on the square in front of the imperial city, it smashed a big hole directly into the ground!

Another dragon groan!

The monster with a human head and a dragon tail jumped up from the pit and jumped onto the roof of the main hall again!

"Chen Che! I will kill you today! ”

With a strange roar, the monster went crazy and crashed into Chen Che.

"Come on! I'll see who's dead today! ”

Chen Che roared in a hoarse voice.

Rumble!

There was another roar, and the monster was blasted out again.

This person and monster seem to have been injured, and they have reached the stage of desperateness.

And below the palace, a figure wearing a dragon robe and exuding black qi around his body was silently watching the fierce fight of this person and monster above.

As if sensing movement, the figure turned its head to look this way.

"It's Chenyan......"

A Fengyi army master said in a deep voice.
