The consciousness of the Confucian saint manifested through the statue, and such a big movement was immediately noticed by the palace.

Tao Xianzhi rushed to the palace and told Emperor Yan that the Confucian sage had asked him to bring the jade seal of the country to the past, Emperor Yan did not hesitate, and directly took the jade seal and rushed over.

"See Your Majesty—"

Seeing Emperor Yan coming, everyone in the square saluted him one after another, and at the same time made way for him.

Emperor Yan walked past everyone, and when he saw the familiar figure sitting at the foot of the statue, even though his personality had always been calm, he also showed a sincere look of joy at this time.

"Changqing!"

Even after fifteen years, the appearance of the Confucian saint has not changed, and he will not forget it.

"Your Majesty." The Confucian Saint stood up and saluted Emperor Yan, without the casualness of the time when he had just faced the others.

Emperor Yan stopped him, then grabbed his arm, and said with a little excitement: "Changqing, where have you been all these years?" Why didn't you come back until now? ”

"I've been worried all the time, and I've sent people to inquire about your whereabouts, but there has been no news. I don't have you in charge of Da Yan, I can't sleep well! ”

As soon as he saw the Confucian Sage, Emperor Yan asked one question after another, and these were the words he buried in his heart.

He and Confucianism are not as simple as a simple monarch and minister, in addition to this identity, they are also close friends.

It's so lonely to be an emperor.

The burden of the country and hundreds of millions of people is on him, and the pressure is too great to deal with a lot of government affairs every day.

Only between him and Confucianism he doesn't need to worry about anything, he can talk to him at will, and at the same time, Confucianism can also help him give advice and put forward excellent suggestions.

This is how they cooperated in the early years, so that the Yan Kingdom quickly rose from a weak country to a strong country.

Therefore, the Confucian saint is not in Dayan, which not only affects the stability of the country, but also makes Emperor Yan feel very lonely.

"It's a long story......"

The Confucian Sage once again talked about his experience in the demon clan, but he hid many details.

After hearing this, Emperor Yan couldn't help but be moved, what kind of place could he trap the Confucian Sage for more than ten years?

This is the strongest saint in the human race!

"So what can I do, and how can I help you get out of there? It's better to ask other saints to help, no matter what the price is, I can pay it. ”

Emperor Yan's idea was the same as that of the dean, that is, to ask the saints of other countries to help.

Because the only people who can trap the Confucian saints in the place where they can help are other saints who are also in the holy realm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I don't have to go through such a big effort, I've found a way to break the game."

"Did Your Majesty bring the jade seal here?"

The Confucian Saint shook his head and rejected Emperor Yan's proposal, and then asked, the purpose of his return was to get the jade seal.

"Brought, Changqing, what do you want the jade seal for?"

Emperor Yan took out the jade seal wrapped in a brocade bag from his sleeve and handed it directly to the Confucian saint without hesitation.

The jade seal is a token and symbol of the country and the emperor, carrying the luck of the country and the emperor, only the emperor can hold it, and others dare to touch it, which is a big crime of intending to rebel.

Because if the jade seal is damaged, it will also have an impact on the country's luck, which is not trivial.

But Emperor Yan handed over the jade seal to the Confucian Sage without any hesitation, and he didn't feel worried at all.

The Confucian Sage didn't speak, but just glanced at the others present, and everyone understood, and turned around and exited the square.

There were only two people left in the square, Emperor Yan and Confucian Sage.

After everyone left, Confucian Sheng looked at Emperor Yan with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, what I am going to say next is too important, so this matter cannot be spread outside, only you can know." ”

Emperor Yan's face turned slightly pale, what is it that can make Confucian Saint so solemn?

The Confucian Saint Mo rubbed the Yanguo jade seal in his hand and asked slowly: "Your Majesty, do you know why the Demon Clan has crossed the Han Sea and tirelessly invaded our Terran Continent for thousands of years?" ”

The demon race and the human race do not live on the same land, and there is a vast ocean between the two sides.

I don't know how many years ago, the demon clan discovered the continent where the human race is located, so they invaded the human race, and the two sides launched a war that lasted for thousands of years.

"Why? Isn't it to keep us Terrans in captivity for blood food, and there are other reasons? ”

Emperor Yan frowned, puzzled.

The demon clan likes to eat people, especially monks, this is a well-known thing, they regard people as blood food, wanton slaughter, I don't know how many people died in the mouth of the demon clan.

"Originally, I thought so, but it's not that simple."

The Confucian sage shook his head slightly, and his eyes were solemn.

"The reason why I went to the hinterland of the demon clan fifteen years ago was not only to find a cure for my son's missing heavenly soul, but also to investigate some things."

"At that time, I learned a secret about the demon clan from the mouth of the soldier saint, and he told me that he had gone to the depths of the demon clan to explore, and at the end of the demon continent, he found a place called Tianyuan."

"That place is full of weirdness and terror, and the demon clan invaded the human continent just to escape from the abyss."

Many years ago, it was precisely because of this incident that he decided to go deep into the demon clan, both to find medicine and to investigate, and he wanted to completely solve the scourge of the demon clan.

Because thousands of years of war have proved that it is extremely difficult for both the human race and the demon race to completely wipe out each other.

The demon clan reproduces very fast, and it can't be killed no matter how you kill it; And the strong people of the human race have come out in large numbers, and in a few thousand years, they have grown from being able to be unilaterally slaughtered to the current grand occasion of the same generation of the five saints.

So it's not realistic to think of genocide.

The Demon Clan invaded the Terran Continent in order to escape from the Heavenly Abyss, and if he could find out the cause and solve it, then the threat of the Demon Clan would disappear.

It was the first time Emperor Yan had heard of this matter, and he only knew that the Confucian Sage went to the demon clan to find the elixir, and he didn't know that there were other purposes.

The demon clan invaded the human race to escape the abyss.

It was the first time he had heard of it.

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Emperor Yan asked, "That Heavenly Abyss...... What exactly is the place? ”

He didn't understand why the demon clan would rather fight with the human race for thousands of years, with countless casualties, and flee that continent.

Or rather, escape from the so-called abyss.

The Confucian Sage still shook his head, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face, and said: "I don't know how to describe it, I can only say that it is the root of all the troubles. ”

"I encountered a great terror there, far more terrifying than the demon clan."

"So this news can only be known to Your Majesty, don't leak it out, so as not to cause any panic."

After hearing this, Emperor Yan wanted to continue to ask, but he suddenly found that the Confucian Sage's body began to become illusory.

"My time is up."

The Confucian saint glanced at his body, and his eyes showed a bit of helplessness, just relying on consciousness to manifest the saint would not last long, and there was no way to do it.

After all, his body was trapped in that place, and there were too few forces that could be mobilized, and it was not easy to manifest across a million miles of space.

In the last few hours left, the Confucian sage said to Emperor Yan: "The main reason for my return this time is to report safety, as well as to take the jade seal, and use the power of national fortune to break the predicament." ”

"In a few years at most, I will be able to return safely, so Your Majesty does not have to worry about my safety."

The Confucian Sage's body had already begun to flicker, and at this time, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a piece of jade from his arms and stuffed it into Emperor Yan's hand.

"Your Majesty, please give this to my wife and tell her that I-"

Before the Confucian sage could finish his words, the figure disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.

But the chicken bones scattered all over the ground, as well as the fruit cores on the ground, and the warm jade in his hand, were all telling Emperor Yan that those were not hallucinations just now.

The pillars of light that connected the heavens and the earth completely dissipated, the statues of Confucian saints returned to normal, and all visions disappeared without a trace.

The dean, Tao Xianzhi and others felt that the aura of Confucianism was gone, and they poured into the square one after another.

But there was no Confucian saint in the square, only Emperor Yan stood in front of the statue of Confucian saint, holding a piece of jade in his hand, frowning and pondering.

"Your Majesty, where has he gone?"

Tao Xianzhi stepped forward and looked around, confirming that the Confucian Sage was not here, and couldn't help asking.

Emperor Yan nodded slightly and said, "Let's go, he came back just to get the jade seal out of trouble, but he will be back in a few years, you don't need to worry about him." ”

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, they had been worried that something had happened to the Confucian Sage, such as being injured by a strong enemy or something.

Now I found out that there was an accident, but I was just trapped, not injured, and the person was safe, but I had to wait a few more years to come back, which was not a problem at all.

Anyway, as long as the person is okay.

"Steward Zhao, this is what the Confucian Sage asked me to transfer to Mrs. Xu, and I will hand it over to you."

Emperor Yan took out the piece of jade and handed it to Zhao Fulai.

Zhao Fulai took it with both hands, and then bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the old slave will be handed over to Madame." ”

Emperor Yan nodded slightly, and then strode towards the outside of the Holy Courtyard, the whole person looked refreshed and depressed.

The Confucian saint is fine, the big stone in his heart has fallen, and the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Yan Kingdom is still there.

Before boarding the carriage, Emperor Yan looked back at the statue, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell the Confucian Sage about Su Mu's recovery.

If he knew that Su Mutian's missing disease had been cured, he would definitely be very happy, right?

"That's it, he'll be back in a few years, and it doesn't matter if you say it now."

Emperor Yan retracted his gaze and didn't think about it anymore.

He doesn't need to think about the matter of the demon clan and the mysterious abyss for the time being, what he wants to think about now is how to take back all the profits that Yan Guo has given away all these years!

……

The Confucian saint descended through the statue of the Holy Courtyard and returned to Shengjing.

This news spread wildly among the people, and the entire Shengjing City was boiling because of it!

For many years, whether it is Yanguo or other countries, they are speculating where the Confucian saint went, whether there was an accident, and even guessed that he had fallen!

Today, the Confucian saint finally appeared, and all the rumors were self-defeating, giving everyone a reassurance.

Our Confucian saints are still there, who dares to beep again?

This matter quickly spread out of Shengjing, and in a very short time, it spread to every county in the Yan Kingdom.

Other countries were quick to learn about it.

But Su Mu didn't know anything about this, and was getting drunk with Tao An and Zhuge Bin in the Pavilion of Appreciation.
