Chapter 670: Wang Tong's Death
In the mountains and forests
Zhang Bairen walked slowly, admiring the surrounding scenery with a relaxed face.
Suddenly, a golden eagle streaked across the jungle, causing silence and silence.
The fluttering wings of the Qiao Yingzi landed on Zhang Bairen's shoulder, looking at the letterbox on the Qiao Yingzi's legs, Zhang Bairen's face became solemn.
took down the letter and slowly unfolded it, and the next moment Zhang Bairen's face changed wildly, his body was shaky, and his face was pale: "The Great Confucian King is approaching the end of his life, please go and talk to me!"
Taking a deep breath and stabilizing his slightly swaying body, Zhang Bairen suddenly jumped forward, the mountains and rivers under his feet kept regressing, Wang Tong was obviously fine, how could he suddenly have a close life?
In just half a day, Zhang Bairen came to Changbai Mountain.
Since the advent of papermaking, Wang Tong has come to Changbai Mountain to teach with peace of mind, hoping to carry forward the orthodox knowledge of Confucianism, and never thought that his life would be approaching!
"Yashang Shuyuan" stood in front of the antique gate, Zhang Bairenfa opened his eyes, and he could see the crumbling heavenly qi in the void.
If Wang Tong died, it would be a huge blow to both the court and the gate valve family.
"But the Metropolitan Governor has arrived?" The two scholars in front of the Yashang Shuyuan looked left and right, and hurriedly greeted Zhang Bairen after seeing him.
"It's the Governor of Pontus," Zhang Bairen nodded.
"Sir has instructed, the governor will go in directly, and the sir has been waiting for the governor for a long time" The doorman lowered his voice, and his voice was low.
Slowly walked into the gate and rubbed the scholar's head: "Don't worry, the sky can't fall!"
"Sir, the Governor has arrived!"
Walking through the layers of pavilions, I saw the scholar saying to the door.
"Quickly invite the Metropolitan Governor in," Wang Tong's voice came from inside the room.
The door opened, and Wang Tong sat at the desk, writing something slowly.
"Sir" Zhang Bairen saluted.
"Sit down!" Wang Tong had a smile on his face.
Zhang Bairen looked at Wang Tong, the skin around his body was full of qi and blood, and he did not see the slightest appearance of aging, but his life was approaching, this was the power of Confucianism.
"Don't be so expressive, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature" Wang Tong put down the pen, slowly rolled up the paper roll in his hand, and put it into a jade box: "This is the reincarnation of the way of heaven!"
"Looking back, I have known my husband for more than 20 years before I know him, and the Great Sui was able to reverse the situation and turn the tide thanks to the support of Confucianism led by Mr." Zhang Bairen showed a touch of emotion.
"You come with me" Wang Tong led Zhang Bairen to the outside of the courtyard and came to a bonfire, which was a remnant bonfire. On the bonfire, the turtle shells were shattered: "I asked the Great Sui on behalf of the Heavenly Year, and the Great Sui Qi is approaching! No one has ever had fate! Even the ancient gods had to succumb to the power of fate." ”
"It's a pity that I harmed Confucianism and dragged Confucianism into troubled waters, I'm sorry sir" Zhang Bairen looked at the mottled turtle shell, which was stained with blood, and suddenly felt in his heart that Wang Tong had been attacked by heaven.
"Wrong!" Wang Tong corrected very seriously: "You are not sorry for Confucianism, with papermaking and printing, even if the dynasty changes, my Confucianism will still flourish." This is the foundation of my Confucianism for all generations, and you deserve the title of Confucian sub-holy teacher!"
Speaking of this, Wang Tong sighed lightly: "It's a pity, Confucianism can't give you more help and support, and the future road depends on you." There is no hope for Da Sui, you better wash your hands early. ”
Zhang Bairen was silent when he heard this, and only said after a while: "My life is up to me, I am not from the sky, and I have already peeped into the door of the Daoyang God, as long as I set foot on the Daoyang God, no one can destroy the Great Sui." ”
"If the Great Sui does not perish, you will never be able to step into the Daoyang God!" Wang Tong hit the nail on the head: "No one can tamper with the number of lives, the Great Sui will not perish, and the will of heaven in the dark will not give you a chance to break through." The fall of the Great Sui is the time for you to break through. Only when you break through the realm can you ask the sky: Is my life up to me?"
Wang Tong's words, Zhang Bairen was like being struck by lightning, where was his body stiff, and his eyes were full of disbelief, which he had never considered.
"If the Great Sui does not perish, he will not be able to break through to the Daoyang God, and he will not be able to live forever, what should he do?" Zhang Bairen's face gradually turned pale.
"Alas" Wang Tong looked at the sun in the sky and returned to the house: "This painting will be given to you, this is the old man's life's work." ”
Wang Tong handed over the jade box that had been written before, Zhang Bairen took the jade box, and suddenly his palm flipped over, and a drop of red burning blood was like a phoenix about to fly, revealing in front of Wang Tong's eyes.
"Sir, do you know what this is?" Zhang Bairen stared at Wang Tong with a pair of eyes.
"Feng Blood! I didn't expect Feng Blood to really be in your hands!" Wang Tong was stunned.
"A drop of phoenix blood, at least a thousand years of life, Mr. is nearing life, but he just met me, he should have a relationship with this drop of phoenix blood" Zhang Bairen stared at Wang Tong deadly.
Wang Tong smiled: "Forget it, life is determined by heaven, why should I go against the sky? Thank you for your kindness, there is no need for phoenix blood." It's enough for a person to live for a lifetime, so what's the point of living for that long?"
This time it was Zhang Bairen's turn to be stunned, he didn't expect that there were still people in this world who could resist the temptation of phoenix blood.
"Sir......" Zhang Bairen was full of disbelief.
Wang Tong shook his head: "Come, talk to me, and go through the last journey." ”
Wang Tong motioned for Zhang Bairen to sit down, looking at the room full of books, Wang Daodao: "I have been a scholar all my life, and I have long understood the destiny of heaven, although the cycle of life and death is impermanent, but for me it is just a new beginning." ”
"Sir, such a high realm," Zhang Bairen praised.
"The realm may not be high, it's just a peek at the corner of the world" Wang Tong smiled and poured a cup of hot tea with Zhang Bairen: "What are you going to do about the affairs of Dasui?"
"The Great Sui Chaos, the world's gate valves are rising, the foreign races outside the Saiwai will inevitably enter the customs, the people are still suffering, as a cultivator, I will naturally save the people of the world from fire and water" Zhang Bairen's eyes flashed.
Listening to Zhang Bairen's words, Wang Tong slowly drank a cup of tea: "Having the governor is here, which is the blessing of the people of the world." It's a pity that Your Majesty is not blessed, and a game of chess that has been born for a long time actually collapsed. ”
After talking for a while, I saw Wang Tong's face calm, and he slowly stood up: "The governor will be later!"
Wang Tong went to the back hall, began to bathe and cleanse, wore his clothes meticulously, came to the front of the hall again, and looked at Zhang Bairen with a smile: "Dudu, let's see you in the next life!"
"Mr. knows the destiny of heaven!" Zhang Bairen's eyes flashed with sadness.
"The power of the sky is mighty, my Tao is prosperous! I hope that the governor will have more support for my Confucianism, I see that the divine light of the Governor of Heaven is soaring into the sky, and he has already surpassed the number of fate, obviously breaking the threshold of the Dao, but if you help the Great Sui for a day, you will not be able to really break through to the Dao for a day, and the Governor still needs to plan a little!"
After speaking, Wang Tong actually walked into the coffin with a calm face, and then closed his eyes and was silent.
"Sir!" Zhang Bairen grabbed the coffin in his palm.
"Boom!"
The vast light that penetrated the heavens and the earth dissipated, and countless monks in the world looked at it one after another, all of them changed color in shock. Countless Confucian students cried out in their hearts, and shouted in unison: "Sir!"
Wang Tong is dead!
Looking at Wang Tong with a calm face, Zhang Bairen knew that there are really people in this world who can face life and death calmly and not be greedy for immortality.
"Sir!"
Countless teachers in the academy walked into the room one after another, their eyes full of tears.
"Mr. has been a scholar all his life, and he doesn't like luxury, so let's hide it like this!" Zhang Bairen took a deep breath and commanded.
Hearing this, a group of disciples began to handle the funeral.
Confucian students from all walks of life came from far and wide to mourn, and Zhang Bairen stayed in the academy for seven days, and waited until Wang Tong was buried before preparing the itinerary and thinking about the affairs of the Great Sui.
"If the Great Sui does not die, I will not be able to step into the Dao!" Standing on the mountain behind the academy, looking at the lush woods, Zhang Bairen kept echoing this thought in his mind.
On the one hand, there is the survival of the Great Sui, and the suffering of hundreds of people, and on the other side, there is the god of the Dao Yang, who lives forever. What is the purpose of Taoist practice? It is not for longevity, both of which are beliefs in one's own heart, and once the two sides clash and collapse, it will be a fatal blow to Zhang Bairen.
Whether to live forever or be peaceful in the world, many people have a clear answer to this question. I will live forever, who cares about the life and death of those ants? The most ruthless and ignorant people, the people!
"Sir has a big problem for me!"
"I don't believe it! I must break through!"
