Chapter 34: Enlightenment
Ye Chen saw that the old man said this, so he asked: "The exercise I want to ask about is "not a phoenix body", and I ask the seniors to tell me. ”
The old man was still taken aback when he heard this, and then with a wave of his hand, a golden light shone on the two of them, forming an enchantment, and people outside could not know anything inside. Ye Chen looked at the old man suspiciously, wondering why he did this?
The old man smiled and said, "Young man, do you know that if you let others know that you have this bad technique, I'm afraid you will only have endless troubles!"
Ye Chen nodded and replied, "I understand, and I also ask the seniors to start teaching." ”
The old man said: "Then I will tell you the story of the phoenix, the phoenix is known as the king of birds, one of the spirit birds since the beginning of the world, and its strength is comparable to the ancient power." This clan is especially special in that it has a strong ability to survive and has the theory of immortality. ”
Ye Chen said: "I also know a little about these juniors, but the problem below is what is the "Virtue of the Phoenix"?"
The old man said: "The avenue is invisible, but the great virtue is tangible." In fact, virtue is based on the word heart, and then a person is walking, as if looking for direction, and the middle one represents the beginning of the beginning, and the standard is unified. The Tao stands in one, divides the heavens and the earth, and transforms into all things. ”
Ye Chen saw that what he said was detailed, but he was still confused. These explanations were also explained by the teacher in his previous life, so he still didn't understand them.
Seeing that he was so confused, the old man said, "The above is the meaning of virtue, so let me tell you a story of virtue." ”
Ye Chen saw that he was about to tell a story, and said happily: "I would like to hear it in detail." ”
The old man said: "The Confucianism in the Three Great Dao Sects today is based on the sage Confucius, you should know it. Ye Chen nodded in response.
The old man said: "Confucius has gone through many vicissitudes of life to promote the idea of benevolence, virtue, propriety and righteousness, but he has always practiced his doctrine. I'm going to tell you a story about him. Actually, you've heard it all, but I hope you have a new understanding. ”
After hearing this, Ye Chen thought to himself: "That's right, Confucius is one of the people I admire the most, and I basically know his story. But it's not easy to come up with a new understanding. ”
The old man said: "Confucius traveled all his life for his teachings, and one day he and his disciples came to a place in a carriage, and saw a child who surrounded a "city" with earth and made it inside. Confucius asked, "Why don't you get away from the carriage?" The boy replied, "People say that you, Mr. Confucius, know astronomy and geography, and know people." However, I did not see you very well today. Because from ancient times to the present, we have only heard that cars avoid the city, how can there be a reason for the city to avoid the car?"
When Ye Chen heard this, he thought to himself: "Isn't this the story of Confucius's physiognomy, I used to admire this child named Xiang Lu, and I was impressed by Confucius's modest character." So he told the old man what he knew.
The old man smiled and said, "Yes, not bad at all. Do you understand now?"
Ye Chen thought carefully about how the story behind this contained virtue, he kept thinking, but he was anxious about the frost outside and the spirit in his body.
Ye Chen thought far away, sometimes his thoughts returned to the "Four Books and Five Classics", sometimes to the stories of celebrities in his previous life, and then to the structure of German characters. The old man seemed to understand that he was in a lot of thoughts at this time, and he was not in a hurry, but watched quietly.
The people outside the barrier had already left one after another, and in the end, only Frost was left. And Ye Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration at this moment, and said, "I realized." ”
The old man withdrew the barrier with his hand, and said with a smile, "Then you tell me to take a look." ”
Ye Chen said: "Everything in heaven and earth, let it be. As you said, the great road is invisible, but the great virtue is tangible. In fact, one of the right things we do every time is to be virtuous. Just as Confucius worships children as teachers, it is not only a verification of the threesome, there must be a teacher, but also a manifestation of the virtue of studiousness. And the virtue of the phoenix is to conform to the original heart. After Ye Chen finished speaking, suddenly a golden light shone on his body.
Ye Chen saw the golden light body, and then the "Immortal Phoenix Body" in his body seemed to move, and said in a strange voice: "Congratulations on understanding the meaning of the "Phoenix Virtue", you can reach the requirements of the first layer, you only need to find the blood of the "Spirit Jiao" now, and you will have the ability to be immortal in the realm of the Martial God." ”
After hearing this, Ye Chen thought to himself: "No, after hard work, I succeeded in realizing virtue, but I still have to find a spirit Jiao comparable to the realm of the Martial God to reach the first layer." ”
The voice seemed to know what Ye Chen was thinking, and explained: "I am the primordial image of the first phoenix at the beginning of heaven and earth, although it has fallen, but I will not treat the destined people who have been waiting for a long time. This current first layer contains a set of swordsmanship, called "Fierce Phoenix Sword Technique", which is a Xuanpin mid-level martial art, but it needs to be obtained after the blood of the spirit Jiao to have such power. ”
Although Ye Chen had already guessed that he would have a strong power only after getting the blood of the spirit Jiao, it was also a good thing to have a set of swordsmanship, and he thanked and said, "Thank you Phoenix God for your guidance." ”
Phoenix said: "I am the spirit of the phoenix, and I will have the opportunity to meet again in the future, I hope you will work hard." Then he was gone. , and then a sword technique was engraved in Ye Chen's mind.
After Ye Chen received the sword, he was amazed by the power of this swordsmanship, and he forgot that someone had been waiting for him.
Shuang'er was impatient to wait, and said, "Brother Ye, we have to go, don't you still want to save your friend?"
After Ye Chen heard Shuang'er's words, he hurriedly came to his senses. Then thank the old man for his affection.
The old man said: "Haha, the "Immortal Phoenix Body" is finally about to reappear, this is also the young man, you are blessed!"
Ye Chen always felt that this old man was too mysterious. He asked, "I know that my predecessor is a master, but please leave my name so that I can remember it." ”
The old man said: "The name of the old man, I'm afraid the world doesn't know much anymore, and you and I are destined to meet here, and he will meet again." The old man is about to leave, so I'll give you something when I leave. With a wave of his hand, a bottle of elixir was given to him.
Ye Chen carefully observed the elixir, it was blue, the aura was rich, and it was absolutely extraordinary. Just as he was about to thank him, he saw that the old man had gradually disappeared, and said: "Ye Chen, my surname is Zeng, and when I wait to see you next time, you are no longer the "Wuxia Ameng" of the past. ”
Ye Chen saw that the old man gradually disappeared, and then the other party's surname was Zeng, and the other party's erudition, he unconsciously thought of a person. However, at this time, Lingling also moved, and said: "I didn't expect it to be him, no wonder it's so powerful, yes, he is the name you think." ”
When Ye Chen heard Lingling say this, he was surprised: "He turned out to be Zengzi, it's unbelievable!"
Shuang'er said: "Brother Ye, you said that he is Zengzi, one of the most respected elders in the Confucian sect. Then he told him all the stories about Zengzi in detail.
Ye Chen saw that Shuang'er knew Zengzi in such detail, but it was far from what he knew about Zengzi. In his previous life, Zeng Zi was just a scholar in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was an outstanding person among the seventy-two sages, and only Yan Hui, Kong Ling, and Mencius were comparable to him in Confucianism. And in this strange Jianghu Continent, he is a very powerful powerhouse, according to Shuang'er, he is a master of Confucianism, and he is the top existence in the Jianghu Continent, and his strength was even in the realm of Emperor Wu hundreds of years ago, and now it is estimated that he is already a martial saint.
Ye Chen re-examined the elixir that Zeng Zi gave him, and only then did he judge that this was the five-grade elixir "Five Turns Golden Pill". I can't help but feel more good about Zengzi.
