Chapter 129: The Tribulation
Zong Xi looked stunned, he didn't seem to expect Li Leng to be so faceless, his brows were tightly twisted together, his expression was a little displeased, he was a strong man in the Nine Tribulations of Confucianism, and he could lower his posture and ask Li Leng for advice, which was already enough to give Li Leng face.
Isn't Confucianism still as good as the Tang Empire?
When did the Tang Empire become so high? Dare not to take Confucianism in his eyes.
Cattle!
The monks present smiled and watched the excitement, anyway, it would be good for them to destroy the Tang Empire.
"Boy, you're so arrogant. An elder of the Confucian Sect got up angrily, pointed at Li Leng and scolded angrily, "When did my Confucian monk ever suffer such anger, believe it or not, my Confucian Sect destroyed your Tang Empire?"
"Okay, whatever you want," Li Leng turned around slightly, and his momentum was released little by little, like the arrival of an ancient god of war, and the momentum like a mountain steadily suppressed the Confucian elder who had broken through to the Tribulation Realm, and said lightly, "The key is...... Do you have what it takes?"
As soon as Zhihai's mental power moved, the invisible momentum turned into a substantial attack, and with a pop, the elder of the Tribulation Realm took two steps back, looking at Li Leng with a shocked face, his breath was slightly messy, and it took a while to straighten out this messy aura.
"Sit back. Zong Xi scolded the elder harshly.
The elder's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to hold it up any longer, so he sat back stupidly. Although he was dissatisfied with Li Leng in his heart, he also knew that with his strength and identity, he could not afford to offend Li Leng, so he could only hold back this bad breath.
Jian Xin said coldly: "Confucianism is very powerful, but my Dao Sect is also good. My Daomen just said that if you want to move Datang, you must first pass my Daomen. Your Confucianism is going to destroy the Tang Dynasty next, and you really don't take my Daomen seriously!"
Zong Xi made a gesture, expressed his apologies in his heart, and said: "I, Confucianism, and the Tang Dynasty live in harmony, and I ask Daomen and His Royal Highness the Emperor to understand this." As for the disrespectful remarks made by the elders of my sect, after returning to the sect, I will report to the head of the sect to deal with it. β
"That's your business, it doesn't have much to do with me. Li Leng didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Seven Great Sects for the time being, and as for whether Zong Xi would report this matter to their head after returning to the sect, and whether he would punish the elder who spoke disrespectfully, it was not the focus of his concern.
If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if people offend me, I will fight back, this is Li Leng's principle of doing things.
When the people of the Great Qin Empire offended him, he would also kill that person at all costs.
Sent to the Han Empire, a generation of male lord Emperor Wu of Han wanted his life, and he also fought back strongly.
Now, in the face of the invincible Confucianism, his attitude is still extremely tough, and he will never compromise half a point.
When did the Immortal Emperor compromise?
"His Royal Highness the Prince...... Zong Xi hesitated for a while, but still bowed and said, "The reason why I have not crossed the catastrophe for a long time is because I have always had doubts about the Great Dao in my heart, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Prince for some advice. β
Seeing that Zong Xi's attitude was so humble, Li Leng turned around slightly, looked at him for a while, and said, "Ask!"
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness. Zong Xi gave a salute, and then, Zhengse asked, "I want to ask His Royal Highness the Pope, what is the Heavenly Dao?
- What?
Everyone was surprised, no one expected that Zong Xi would ask such a question.
ββWhat is the way of heaven? What is the great way?
Isn't the Heavenly Dao the Great Dao, and the Great Dao not the Heavenly Dao? Zong Xi has been cultivating for hundreds of years and has pursued the pinnacle of the Martial Dao all his life, so does he still not know what the Heavenly Dao is and what the Great Dao is?
Some people think that Zong Xi is deliberately making things difficult for Li Leng, after all, Li Leng's attitude and behavior just now made Confucianism lose face, and Zong Xi, as a senior foreign affairs elder of Confucianism, naturally wants to get justice for Confucianism.
This question seems to be easy to answer, but when you think about it, it is all a general answer, and there is nothing unusual about it. Tens of thousands of monks have thousands of interpretations and understandings of the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao.
If Li Leng answered the answer that everyone knew, then Zong Xi could completely say that this kind of Heavenly Dao and Great Dao is not the Heavenly Dao and Great Dao in my heart. In this way, Zong Xi can use this incident to protest to Datang, and even use this to use troops against Datang and directly destroy Datang.
The question that is talked about in general terms is actually the most difficult question to answer, no matter what Li Leng says or how he answers, Zong Xi can say that this is not the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao that he wants to know. Or, this is something that has been interpreted by predecessors, and it is not at all my own understanding and comprehension.
It turned out that this Zong Xi was not really here to seal the Great Dao, but to find an excuse for Confucianism to send monks to destroy the Tang Empire.
When Li Shijie heard this, he was furious, thinking that Zong Xi was deliberately making things difficult and making excuses for Confucianism to send troops to the Tang Dynasty. But with the full support of the Daomen, Li Shijie had confidence in his heart, so he dared to be angry at Confucianism, and said coldly: "Elder Zongxi, what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately making things difficult for my Tang Empire? Although my Tang Dynasty is not as good as your Confucianism, if you really want to invade my Tang Dynasty, the warriors of my Tang Dynasty will fight to the death and will never surrender to your Confucianism." β
Excuses, absolute excuses.
If Confucianism wants to send monks to destroy the Tang Empire, it also needs to find a better reason and excuse.
The teacher is unknown, and even if Confucianism destroys his Tang Empire, he can't stop the mouth and anger of the monks in the world.
Confucianism is powerful, but can it fight against the entire world of monks?
Zong Xi bowed down and said, "You are serious, this question is really a puzzle in my heart. I don't know why I've been so confused lately, and my calm mind is restless and difficult to calm down. Today, I see that the prince of your country is calm and relaxed, and his speech and demeanor contain the mystery of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so I dare to ask him for advice, but I really don't mean to make things difficult, and I also ask your country to be clear. β
"You ......" Zong Xi is reasonable, his words are humble, and he can't see the slightest difficulty for Li Leng, even if Li Shijie is dissatisfied in a thousand ways, for a while, he doesn't know what to say.
"Oh, is it?" Li Leng ignored the dispute between the two, he watched Zongxi for a long time, and saw that his eyes were cloudy, and there was a bad aura between his eyebrows, knowing that the question he asked was not deliberately difficult, but that his cultivation was stuck in a bottleneck, and all kinds of demonic obstacles in the past were reflected. This is a demon barrier that has crossed the heavenly tribulation from the realm of the tribulation and entered the realm of scattered immortals, and after crossing this magic barrier, it is a carp jumping over the dragon gate, the sea and the sky, and if you can't cross this magic barrier, then you will have a demon in your heart, either you will fall into hell and become a devil, or you will not be able to advance an inch in this life, and you will not be able to survive the catastrophe.
"I know the meaning of your question, but, I want to ask you, is it important?" Li Leng looked at Zong Xi and said lightly, "What is the way of heaven, what is the avenue, in the end, it is a kind of appearance, if you comprehend it, everything in heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, all of them are avenues, if you can't comprehend it, even if you have the essence of the way of heaven and the mystery of the avenue, you can't get it." β
