Chapter 974: Nine Hills

Confucius finished talking about the Confucian Six Arts "shooting" character method, and then began to talk about the way of "royal".

"Yu" not only refers to the royal car, the royal horse, but also includes the royal people, the royal beast, the royal immortal, the royal ghost.

Qin Di was happy to hear it, because he didn't say anything else, but one aspect of the imperial beast, if he could learn it, would already be exciting.

Confucius didn't say much, but only said that the most important thing in the imperial character recipe is the word "benevolence".

Subsequently, he focused his teachings on the two aspects of "books" and "numbers."

The so-called "book" refers to the Confucian classics, including the Book of Shang, the Analects, the University, the Mean, the Book of Songs, the Spring and Autumn Period, etc. These classics are all written by Xianwen, and only those who are proficient in Xianwen can inherit them well. This is also the reason why Confucius took a fancy to Qin Di and wanted to take him as an apprentice.

The so-called "number", in addition to arithmetic, mainly refers to "Zhou Yi", which is also a very complex science, and it is not clear for a while.

Confucius preached for a total of 7,749 days, followed by a simple test, and those with excellent results had the opportunity to apprentice. Of course, these people are in the best situation, that is, they worship under the Daxian Sect.

In the midst of a melodious immortal sound, under the envious gaze of countless disciples, Qin Di completed the prostration, and became a disciple of Confucius.

Subsequently, the people who participated in the conference dispersed, leaving only thirty-six worshippers, seventy-two doctors, a total of more than 100 people, plus several gods of wealth who had just rushed over, including Zhao Gongming, Bigan and Fan Li, and several unknown immortal kings, these people gathered together and opened a closed-door meeting.

When Fan Li saw Qin Di, he just nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the little brother for becoming a saint disciple." The future is limitless. ”

Qin Di bowed down and said, "Thank you Fan Immortal King for your support! ”

The topic of this closed-door meeting was mainly about how to build the East Gate of Heaven.

Shouldering this heavy responsibility is Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth, who is sturdy, black-faced and thick-bearded, holding a silver whip in one hand and an ingots in the other, looking a little domineering.

As soon as he saw this person, he reminded Qin Di of the image of a stick and a carrot. Otherwise, how could there be silver whips and ingots?

After Qin Di joined the Tianbao Pavilion, he had also heard about the legend of Zhao Gongming.

It is said that Zhao Gongming's predecessor was originally a round of sun in the sky, that is, one of the nine golden crows shot down by Hou Yi.

The remaining eight golden crows have all turned into ghosts, and only one golden crow has been reborn, and that is Zhao Gongming. He lived in seclusion in Shu, cultivated the Tao, and was later captured by the Heavenly Master to take care of the Dan furnace. The Heavenly Master cultivated the elixir and gave him an elixir. Zhao Gongming took the elixir and greatly improved his skills. Then he was assigned by the Heavenly Master to guard the Xuantan for 10 million years, so he was called the "Marshal of the Xuantan".

Later, Zhao Gongming advanced to the immortal king, and when the Yellow Emperor was still the emperor of heaven, he once served as the director of the Tianshi Yuan Column, specializing in trade, paying attention to fairness and mutual benefit, so he was respected as one of the gods of wealth.

As for what he is doing, this God of Wealth Immortal King came in with a mask, so he couldn't see what he looked like, and it looked quite mysterious.

Zhao Gongming reported the progress of the construction of the East Heavenly Gate to everyone: "I have good news and bad news here. The good news is that the Dongtianmen Gate has been completed by three-quarters, and the progress has exceeded expectations; the bad news is that the resources are insufficient, especially the high-level immortal gold and immortal wood are not enough! ”

Qin Di didn't understand what kind of big project it was to build the East Heavenly Gate, nor did he know how much immortal gold and immortal wood it would use, but he was surprised in his heart: Tianbao Pavilion opened shops all over the universe, it can be said that the family has a big business and is so rich, how can there be a lack of materials?

Fortunately, Zhao Gongming quickly made a detailed explanation: "The Dongtianmen we built is equivalent to a giant immortal weapon at the peak of the ninth order (just like a space station), and it is possible to be promoted to an artifact in the future." The materials used are all high-grade immortal materials, although our Tianbao Pavilion has a big business, but there are many low-level materials, as for the high-level immortal gold and immortal wood, they are good things that money can't buy! Everyone let's talk about what to do. ”

The people below have different opinions.

Someone said: "I remember, in the past, when the White Emperor and the Golden God were still there, there was never a shortage of high-grade immortal gold. Now, one of the two Immortal Emperors has gone to the outside of the sky, and the other has been killed by the Jade Emperor, and he may have turned into dry bones long ago!"

"In my opinion, this is clearly the Jade Emperor who can't get along with us! Otherwise, why is what we need always being obstructed?"

"According to me, high-grade immortal gold is okay, although it is a little troublesome, it can be extracted and refined from low-level cash. But what about high-level immortal trees?"

"I've heard that in the early years, let alone high-grade immortal trees, even if it was a divine tree, it was everywhere. Later, in the last years of the flood famine, since the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Monument, I don't know which guy's proposal, not only did not allow the tree clan to be promoted to the ancestral immortal, but also cut down the original divine tree, so where is there a high-level immortal tree?"

Someone asked: "But I don't know who took those sacred trees away after they were cut down?"

The masked Bigan Immortal King replied, "It is said that most of them were included in the Heavenly Court Treasury, and after the Yellow Emperor left, they were inherited by the Jade Emperor. The other part is still in the hands of the immortal emperors who cut down the sacred tree back then.

It stands to reason that the Qingdi and the Yellow Emperor should still have reserves of divine wood in their hands, let's go to the Qingdi Palace and the Yellow Emperor's Palace to ask, maybe we can buy it from them at a large price. ”

In addition to the Blue Emperor and the Yellow Emperor, there are also some neutral Immortal Emperors, who can also be asked. ”

After listening to what Bigan said, Confucius opened his mouth and asked unhurriedly, "Do you know what was the tallest tree in ancient times?"

Someone below replied, "It's supposed to be the legendary Jianmu, right?"

Confucius said, "That's right. When I was a child, I followed the water sperm, that is, the emperor of Beihua, to travel all over the world, and once saw the sacred tree Jianmu in the 'Duguang no Ye'. ”

The eyes of the people below all lit up: "Wow, sir, have you seen that sacred tree, how tall is it?"

Confucius replied: "The height of the building wood penetrates the Three Realms!"

Many people exclaimed: "How is it possible to penetrate the Three Realms?"

Confucius said: "The roots of Jianmu are deeply rooted in the netherworld, even after being cut down, there is still a small section of stumps left in the underworld and the world, and the appearance is decayed and turned into mountains, that is Liangfu Mountain." Its canopy stretches out to the fairy realm, not far from Tianshiyuan!"

The crowd exclaimed, "Oh my God, how can there be such a tall sacred tree?"

"It's too much of an exaggeration, it's unbelievable!"

Confucius said again: "Later, Jianmu was cut down by the Immortal Emperors. Each person intercepted a tree trunk, and the remaining trunk was cut into nine sections, and they were thrown in nine places, and over time, they were corrupted to form nine hills, that is, the hill of Taotang, the hill of Shude, the hill of Mengying, the hill of Kunwu, the hill of black and white, the hill of Chiwang, the hill of guards, the hill of Wufu, and the hill of God. These hills are still there today, and they were once included in the 'Eight Suo Nine Hills'. ”

The people below said, "So, if you dig under these hills, maybe you can dig up an uncorrupted divine tree, right?"

"Since the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Monument, it has only been more than 20 million years, and the middle of the trunk can still be well preserved. ”

Confucius also said, "You can go and have a look." However, these hills are all located in the central Xuanhuang Star Field, which are above the nine stars. Those stars are all occupied by the Lingxiao Palace, so be careful when you go. ”

Then everyone expressed their opinions and thought of a lot of ways to build the East Heavenly Gate faster.

After the meeting, Confucius called Qin Di over and asked, "What do you want to learn first?"

Qin Di replied, "The disciple wants to learn music first. ”

Confucius nodded: "For the teacher, I will pass you "Xianchi", "Dashao", "Daxia", "Dahui", and "Dawu". When you have time, you might as well go to Jiuqiu with others to have a look, where the immortal qi is very rich, and there are many immortal relics. I see that your skills are not weak, and you are proficient in archery, and you have a strong ability to protect yourself, so you should go out for a walk more. ”

Qin Di said: "The disciple obeys the master's orders. ”
