Pei County, in front of the county yamen.

Liu Ji stood there upright, followed by Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Cao Shen and a group of Confucian scholars.

Twenty or thirty people crowded together, occupying both sides of the gate of the county government, but deliberately leaving the way to enter the county office.

On the third pole of the day, Liu Ji, who had been waiting for nearly two hours, sweat on his forehead, tilted his head slightly, and asked in a low voice to the white-haired Confucian student closest to him: "Sir, are you sure that Confucian Sheng will come to Pei County today?"

When the gray-haired Confucian heard this, he seemed to have been insulted, and replied with a good face: "How can the old man lie about such a big event as the Confucian saint's trip?"

Liu Ji said with a sneering face: "I didn't say that Mr. was lying, but I waited for a long time and didn't see any trace of the Confucian Sage, and Mr. Xu is misremembered." ”

The white-haired Confucian face became even more ugly, and replied with a straight face: "The old man is only seventy years old, and he is strong and energetic, how can he remember wrong?"

"The old man didn't say that the Confucian saint would come to Pei County in the morning, it was Pei Gong himself who was eager to see the Confucian saint, and he was waiting here early in the morning. ”

"Now I've only been waiting for two hours, is Pei Gong impatient? It seems that Pei Gong's desire to see the Confucian Sage is not very sincere. ”

Liu Ji immediately replied with a serious face: "Sir's words are wrong, it's not that I'm impatient, it's just that I am a little anxious when I see that the Confucian saint is eager." ”

"If you can wait until the Confucian sage, don't say two hours, even if it is two days and two nights, there will be no complaints. ”

The white-haired Confucian sneered in his heart, and just wanted to go back to Liu Ji, but before the words could be spoken, the whole person suddenly looked into the distance, a little distracted.

Liu Ji followed the eyes of the white-haired Confucian students, and happened to see a Weiwu son driving a simple carriage with an elegant atmosphere as a whole, driving slowly on the street.

Without being reminded by others, Liu Ji had a realization in his heart: the person sitting in the carriage was the legendary Confucian sage.

Liu Ji only felt an unknown strength surging in his body, and his blood was boiling, so that his head was dizzy, and he rushed to the carriage and bowed deeply: "Liu Ji, the next generation, meet the saint." ”

It's staggeringly fast.

Zhang Liang and the others behind Liu Ji came back to their senses and realized that they had to pull him, this scene had already happened.

The eyes of the Confucian scholars who looked at Liu Ji instantly became very unkind, in their opinion, this Liu Ji actually dared to collide with the Confucian saint, and the crime was unforgivable.

If it weren't for the fact that the Confucian saint had not yet spoken, these Confucian students were afraid that they would rush forward directly and beat Liu Ji half to death as a punishment.

The moving carriage also stopped because of Liu Ji's "blocking the road".

The atmosphere in the arena also stagnated, and everyone didn't even dare to breathe, staring carefully at the carriage, waiting for the Confucian saint to speak.

Fortunately, the Confucian saint in the carriage did not make everyone wait too long, and soon responded.

A white palm lifted the curtain of the carriage door, and a burly and tall old man stood on the carriage and said in a magnetic voice: "The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny does not need to be polite. ”

When the Confucian students present saw the true face of the Confucian saint, they all bowed their heads and bowed, and said in a loud voice: "The disciple meets the ancestor and the master." ”

Kong Qiu stood on the carriage, looked at the many Confucian students, and replied with a look of relief: "Get up, don't be polite." ”

Liu Ji got up, turned sideways, bowed again, stretched out his right hand and said, "Please go to the county government to rest for a while, so that future generations and Confucian disciples can listen to the teachings of the sage." ”

As soon as Liu Ji's words came out, the eyes of the Confucian scholars who looked at him immediately improved a lot, because Liu Ji said that they wanted to listen to the teachings of the Confucian saints.

Kong Qiu smiled heartily and said, "The old man has this intention, you can enter with the old man." ”

When many Confucian students and Liu Ji heard this, they all looked happy, they didn't expect that Confucian saints would be so easy to speak.

Just when they were stunned, Wei Wuzi, who was driving for Kongqiu, waved his whip lightly, and the carriage moved forward again, heading towards Peixian County.

Liu Ji and others followed.

......

In the hall of Peixian County Ya, Kong Qiu sat in the main seat, Wei Wuzi stood behind his side, and Liu Ji and others stood in the hall in order, with a respectful look on their faces, waiting for him to speak.

Kong Qiu said in a low voice: "The old man started from Ludi on this study tour, and planned to go east to Qidi Jiaodong first, and then all the way to the west, to teach what he had learned to the common people in the world. ”

"Today, even if you arrive in Pei County, it is no exception, how about telling you a Confucian scripture?"

The crowd shouted in unison, "May you listen to the teachings of the saints." ”

Kong Qiu stroked his beard, which was more than a foot long, and told a Confucian classic in a low tone.

I don't know if the classics taught by Confucius are really fascinating, or if everyone is self-absorbed.

In the entire lobby, except for Confucius, who told the classics, the rest of the people closed their eyes, as if they were swimming in the ocean of knowledge.

Liu Ji, who usually feels a faint headache when he sees a book, has a comfortable look on his face, and he seems to have gained a lot.

“...... His body is upright, and he does not obey orders; ”

After Kong Qiu finished the last sentence, everyone was still immersed in an epiphany, unable to extricate themselves.

After a few breaths, Wei Wuzi beside Kong Qiu woke up from his epiphany and sighed: "Every time I listen to the teacher's sermon, I have gained something, and the teacher's way is really bottomless. ”

Kongqiu smiled and did not speak.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Ji was the first to come back to his senses, and immediately bowed to Kong Qiu and said, "Thank you for the sage's preaching." ”

"Shh~" Wei Wuzi pointed to the others who were still immersed in their feelings, and motioned for Liu Ji to make a small noise.

Others, if they are prompted by this, may shut up and stand aside.

But Liu Ji was a person who didn't slip away, so I saw him tiptoe forward, squatting down in front of Kong Qiu, looking at each other with slippery eyes.

Wei Wuzi's face turned dark, and he immediately wanted to drive Liu Ji away, but he saw Kong Qiu smiling and asked, "The Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven needs the help of the old man in something?"

Liu Ji bowed his head and said: "The saint is wise, and there is indeed a reluctant request in the future life, and I hope the saint can help." ”

"Oh, come and listen," said Concilius.

Liu Ji said with an embarrassed smile on his face: "Don't hide it from the saint, a few years ago, I was forced to rely on the secret method to promote the sixth rank of martial arts, and in the past few years, my cultivation has not been improved. ”

"The six grades of cultivation, if you are an ordinary person, you will recognize it below. But now he is praised by everyone as the emperor of the Mandate of Heaven, if his cultivation is too low, he may be difficult to convince the public. ”

"I want to ask for help from the saint in the lower body, and take action to eliminate the hidden dangers in the lower body, so as to give the future life a chance to go further. ”

After Liu Ji finished speaking, he looked at Kong Qiu with anxiety in his heart, waiting for the other party to make a move.

But seeing Kong Qiu, he shook his head and said: "The secret method you used to promote the six grades of martial arts has hurt the heavens and harms, and the hidden danger is hidden in the depths of the bloodline, and it is not easy to completely eliminate it." ”

"Of course, this difficulty is not difficult for the old man, but if the old man makes a move and clears all the hidden dangers, you will not die, and you will soon be wasted. ”

Liu Ji looked unwilling when he heard this, and said dejectedly: "Dare to ask the saint, is it possible that in the martial arts road in the next life, you can only stay at the peak of the six grades?"

Kong Qiu shook his head: "Of course not, if you want to break through the Grandmaster Realm, it is not difficult. ”

Liu Ji said with a surprised face: "Didn't the sage just say that it is difficult to eliminate hidden dangers in the lower body?"

Kong Qiu chuckled lightly and asked rhetorically, "Then the old man asked you, what is the relationship between eliminating the hidden dangers in your body and your promotion to the Grandmaster Realm?"

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of ecstasy: "The sage is saying, is it saying that you don't have to eliminate hidden dangers in the lower realm, and you can be promoted to the rank of grandmaster?"

Kong Qiu shook his head: "That's not it, the hidden dangers in your body still have to be eliminated as much as possible." ”

Liu Ji knelt on the ground with a "poof", touched his head to the ground and said, "Please also ask the saint to help." ”

Kong Qiu tilted his head slightly, and said to Dao Wei Wuzi on the side: "Zilu, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

"No", Wei Wu Zizi Lu responded, took a step forward, and injected a supreme and pure power of heaven and earth into Liu Ji's body.

Liu Ji's bones "gurgling" sounded in the air, and a trace of black blood slowly seeped out of his hair, forming a bloody scab.

This kind of terrifying picture, Liu Ji, as the person concerned, not only did not feel pain, but felt very comfortable.

As time passed, the sensation of refreshment became more and more intense, as if it was about to be ejected.

A quarter of an hour later, a thunderbolt exploded in Liu Ji's mind, and a divine thought was generated, representing that he had officially stepped into the Grandmaster Realm.

"Thank you to the saints and these seniors for their help. ”

Liu Ji didn't even bother to consolidate his realm, and thanked him for the first time.

Kong Qiu chuckled and said: "Don't be polite, now that the matter is over, the old man won't stay much, Zilu, let's go." ”

Zilu hurriedly walked out of the lobby and drove the carriage over.

Kong Qiu refused Liu Ji's retention and returned to the carriage.

Liu Ji stood at the door, watching the carriage take off and disappear in the air.

When Kong Qiu disappeared completely, Liu Ji suddenly found that the sun was setting outside.

Liu Ji looked at the people in the hall who were still comprehending, and sighed: It's just that he said a scripture, which can make people unconsciously pass several hours, and the strength of the saint is not to be taken lightly.

......

In the air, Zilu asked with a little confusion: "Why does the teacher want to interfere with other people's martial arts with external forces?" Then Liu Ji's qualifications are extremely poor, and he should not be within the scope of the teacher's help. ”

Kong Qiu replied indifferently: "Everything in the world has cause and effect, if you don't help Liu Ji today, how can he be embarrassed to intercept his luck in the future?"
