readx; The sky of the winter night was dark and dreary, with no stars and no moon, and only the cold north wind was left raging in all directions between the heavens and the earth, whistling by, making the sound of ghosts crying wolf-like sounds, so that all the creatures on the earth shrank and shrunk and hid in the comfortable nest they had created to rest, so as not to be swallowed up by the incomparable darkness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is to live in seclusion in the barren mountains and mountains, and the vast number of qi refiners do not want to come out and suffer at night in such weather, after all, although their bodies are strong, they will also feel uncomfortable when they endure the severe cold.

But there are exceptions to everything, the land south of the Yangtze River in Suzhou and Hangzhou, especially Jinling, the ancient capital of gold powder of the Six Dynasties, which is passed by the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River, including the nearby towns, is a song and dance, red lights and wine, dotted with stars, singing and laughing, and embellishing the winter night with a bit of vitality and sè color.

Wang Xianren flew over Jinling in Shenshi, looking at the lights of the thousands of homes below, there was no joy at all, but a deep sadness and disappointment surged in his heart.

In the battle of Guanyin Cave in Yandang Mountain, although he was able to get out, he was completely destroyed by Wang Zhong's ruthless and invincible methods, unpredictable, and strange and mysterious skills. Originally, I thought that I had refined Dayu's ribs, survived the three tribulations, entered the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and reached the peak of mana, at least I could fight with Wang Zhong without falling behind, maybe relying on the six supernatural powers Xuanyang to restrain Xuanyin, I was still a line higher, where did I know that I would lose so badly.

concentrated the three masters of Huang Daozhou, Liu Zongzhou, and Liu Yunsheng, united themselves, but they were still defeated, three were injured, and one was captured. It's not that he went all out at the last moment, maybe he was captured in humiliation like Liu Yunsheng.

The scorching pain in the internal organs was when the two moves of "Seven Star Gathering" and "Big Dipper Ascending Dragon" were used to fight against "Fire Dance and Bright Sun", and the Xuantian Beidou True Martial Yuan God was injured by the Taihuo Poison Flame.

Because at that time, the incarnation was withdrawn, and the residual fire poison and evil qi came back with the incarnation, and it hurt the physical body. At this time, Wang Xianren already had five meridians in his body injured by the fire poison, and with the spread of the fire poison, there was a tendency for the snowball to get bigger and bigger. This situation had to make him stop flying, use his stealth technique and fall to the ground to find a place to heal his injuries, and first use the power of Xuanwu Star to force the fire poison out of his body.

Wang Xianren first cast Xuantian Beidou to reverse the yin yang chaos**, so that when he thought about things related to Wang Zhong in his heart, he would not be sensed by Wang Zhong. Wang Xianren has never underestimated Wang Zhong, and he did not leave a hand when he chased and killed Wang Zhong before, Wang Zhong grew day by day, and he was quite frightened, it was this variable that made him no longer able to grasp the process of the general trend of the Mandate of Heaven, and also made some of his plans come to naught.

"Fortunately, Wang Zhengnan is about to grow, and he still has to wait ten years, not just three years, to grow up. As long as there is time, everything is not a problem. This child's enlightenment is simply unprecedentedly high, and his potential is also unfathomable, and he can directly chase Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng. I also know the etiquette, learn the essence of Confucianism and Taoism, inherit my heart and learn a sect, and achieve success in the future, even if it is not as good as Confucius and Mencius, it can also be compared to Zhu Cheng. ”

Wang Xianren thought of Wang Zhengnan from Wang Zhong again, and now this child, although he is only three or four years old, but Wang Xianren and Zodiac Zhou, Liu Zong's three masters, dredged the meridians, and the spiritual wisdom is no different from that of adults. On Wudang Mountain, Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu are studying the Four Books and Five Classics, the Six Arts, refining Qi and storing the spirits, and the progress of the three of them is rapid and incomparable, and the young grandmaster of Confucianism in the future has shown its embryonic form.

When he arrived in the city, Wang Xianren found a good and quiet inn, and asked the store not to disturb it with a few taels of silver, and then he had to sacrifice the True Martial Arts Demon Diagram to arrange the forbidden law to prevent the invasion of foreign demons when he was refining drugs. Suddenly I heard a knock on the door.

"Who knocked on the door?" Wang Xianren's heart tightened, his eyes had already passed through the closed door, and he saw a middle-aged man in a robe standing at the door, "I have seen Senior Wang in Xia Fan Wencheng, and I would like to invite you to see the seniors?"

"Fan Wencheng?" Wang Xianren pondered for a moment, and remembered that this person was the most famous strategist under the command of Nurhachi in Manchuria, and the descendant of the great Confucian Fan Zhongyan. "He's not worth mentioning, how could he know I'm here and come to the door so quickly?"

Wang Xianren thought for a moment, and his heart was already clear, and he didn't open the door, but just sneered: "It turns out that Yan Sheng Gong is coming, but how can he get mixed up with the Manchurian Tartars? Now that I, the Ming Dynasty, are at war with the Tartars, you are still the Yan Sheng Gong of the imperial court, and I am the Xuan Sheng Gong of the imperial court.

"Haha, haha, the Duke of Xuansheng Kingdom has really inherited his father's majesty, and his mana is no less powerful than Brother Shouren's back then. The door suddenly opened without wind, and the door changed from one person to two people, it was Kong Lingqi and Fan Wencheng.

Wang Xianren sat still, staring at the door with cold eyes, his whole body was loose, in fact, he was raising his true qi vigilance, "Di Yi has a king, but it is not as good as Huaxia." This is still the words of Sage Confucius, could it be that the Holy Duke of Yan has forgotten, and he wants to conform to the way of heaven and help the Manchurian Tartars destroy the orthodoxy of my Han clan? Back then, my father fought against the old demon of Montenegro with the Yan Shenggong Convention, and the news of the death of the Holy Duke of Yan came out later, I thought that the Gong had ascended to immortal, but I didn't expect that he was still in the world now, which is strange. ”

"Xianren! I am not here for my own selfish interests, but for the sake of the life and death of my Confucian family, and you don't need to be cynical. I have come with Mr. Fan to discuss this matter with you. Kong Lingqi walked into the house.

"Oh, it's about the life and death of my Confucian sect, you say?" Wang Xianren sneered. "If you want to take advantage of the fact that I was injured in the battle with that demon, I'm afraid it's too early. ”

When Kong Lingqi heard Wang Xianren's words say the three words "that demon", his face suddenly changed, and he secretly shouted, shaking the syllables behind, and then raised his hand, full of blank air, surrounded on all sides, wrapping the entire room, not touching the ground, not reaching the sky.

After arranging these in an instant, Kong Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief: "Now that demon has cultivated as a god, you and I must be careful when you talk to him, otherwise he will be inducted immediately, and it will be difficult to clean it up at that time." ”

"Qianyuan Tiangang is upright, it seems that Yansheng Gong's cultivation has already reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, haha, could it be that Feigong is also afraid of that demon?" Wang Xianren looked at Kong Lingqi and Fan Wencheng coldly.

Kong Lingqi sighed, ignoring the sarcasm in Wang Xianren's tone: "The last time that demon broke into the Great Fool Island, the changes in the Xuan Gong he performed were shocking, I am not afraid of him, but there is no need to have a senseless confrontation with him now." ”

"Brother Wang, the grievances of the past, the division of the school, let's put it aside, whether it is Zhu Cheng's science, or Yang Minggong's psychology, and others, they all follow nothing more than the ancestor Confucius and Mencius Avenue, all changes are inseparable from it, and it is always a 'Confucian' word, don't you say?"

Wang Xianren saw Kong Lingqi calling himself Brother Wang, and his heart also relaxed, this Kong Lingqi is a figure of Wang Yangming's generation, compared to Wang Xianren's elders, but because of different schools, not only do they not have contact with each other, but they are also quite hostile.

Today, Confucianism is divided into two sects: science and mind, while Confucius is a family of its own, transcendent and disdainful of both. However, today, science is authentic, and the four books and five classics of the scientific examination are all based on Zhu Xi's commentary. And the world's academies, almost all of them teach science. The science of science is also divided into many factions, each attacking each other, resulting in a large number of parties in the DPRK and China.

Confucianism is the most etiquette, for Kong Lingqi such a title, Wang Xianren still can't bear it, with a smiling expression on his face, he waved his hand, "Please sit down." ”

"Xuan Shengguo Gong is the current grandmaster, Fan will no longer care about the left and right, let's open the skylight and say something. Fan Wencheng arched his hand, his eyes shone brightly, his expression was extremely solemn, and then he stood up and looked out the window: "What does Guogong think about the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River?"

Wang Xianren originally heard that Fan Wencheng was going to talk about the major events related to the rise and fall of Confucianism, but when he saw the other party talking about the prosperity of Jiangnan, he couldn't figure it out for a while, but he was a person with excellent cultivation and patience, so he was not irritable in his heart, and replied in a light tone: "The climate in Jiangnan is mild, the wind and rain are smooth, the fish and rice are abundant, and the people do not have to worry about food and clothing, so it is naturally more prosperous than other places." ”

"Grandpa Guo is right. Fan Wencheng then asked: "The people of the world have cultivated and read for generations, but compared with the national princes, what is the difference between the customs of the people in the south of the Yangtze River and other places?"

"En?!" Wang Xianren frowned.

Fan Wencheng continued: "Grandpa Guo, let's listen to me. In the land south of the Yangtze River, there are mostly merchants, and the merchants and merchants organize various workshops to hire workers, and in the fourth class of industry and commerce, the people engaged in the two industries of industry and commerce have the tendency to overshadow the farmers. I did my investigation thirty years ago, and I couldn't help but be frightened, if this wind spreads, all the teachings of my Confucianism will come to naught, if the merchant pursues profit, and the profit is the first thing, benevolence, righteousness, reason, wisdom, and faith can all be discarded.

"It's not a big deal, is it?" Wang Xianren smiled dumbly.

"Grandpa Guo's vision is not long-term, at first I thought so, but a few years ago, after contact with the Western barbarians, I found that it was shocking, this is already a kind of system change, this system spreads, will give us Confucianism a blow to destroy xingxing. For this reason, I asked Yi Tianyang last year to calculate the future with the Yuan Shen, and Yi Tianyang only said four words. ”

"What four words?"

"Capitalism!" Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth word by word and said: "The current Ming Dynasty seems to be decaying, but in fact it is brewing, if it can survive for another hundred years, through the customs, the integration of China and the West, the capitalist civilization will expand more and more, and then it will brew into a revolution! At that time, even if the grandfather of the country has the means to reach the sky, can he change the hearts of the people? The sky is not high, but the people's hearts are the highest. If you think about it, everyone is chasing profits, what can we do? Why don't we kill them all? Even if Confucius and Mencius go down to earth, they can't educate them. If a saint can prepare for a rainy day for 500 years, does the prince really think that what I am talking about is unfounded?"

"Since the Han Dynasty, which dynasty has not respected Confucianism? What does it matter if the dynasty is changed? If the Guogong is bent on helping the Ming Dynasty, it will only harm my Confucianism, and the skin will not exist, and Mao will be attached to it? Putting aside the mandate of heaven, we Confucianists should also help the Manchu Qing Dynasty, trample on this deformed civilization with barbarism, and strangle the germ of capitalism in its infancy. ”

"Manchu people entered the Central Plains, so the upper is in line with the mandate of heaven, and the lower is in line with the hearts of the people, and the Confucian heart is the hearts of the people. Compared with the life and death of my Confucian sect, what is the difference between the Han Tartars?

After a long time, Wang Xianren's eyes also seemed to see the future, and he let out a long breath, "The sage has been preparing for a rainy day for five hundred years, and what you said is not unreasonable." It's just that the number of Da Ming Qi is not exhausted, and for the Miao descendants of my Han family, if it is really ruined, it is really sad. ”

"Although the Han Dynasty is destroyed, Confucianism is there! Benevolence and righteousness are there! Confucianism is like a jingqi god, the Han Dynasty is just a shell, and without Confucianism, what is the difference between the Han Dynasty and the walking dead?" Fan Wencheng said: "The number of Ming Qi is not exhausted, but the country is willing to give up the original, and I am afraid that it is not advisable." ”

"Although the destiny of heaven is destined, the sky is unpredictable, and now with the stirring of the demon, the general trend has undergone a lot of variables, and it will not be smooth sailing in the future. Heon-in, you still have to make up your mind. Kong Lingqi said, "Our Confucian infighting is infighting, and the ultimate goal is to educate the world with benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and law." Remember not to abandon the basics and chase the end, because the foundation of Han unification has been lost. ”

Wang Xianren said: "Do you mean that you want me to support Manchuria? ”

Kong Lingqi said: "Xianren is a generation of grandmasters, and he must know the general trend. I didn't bother too much, so I took my leave. ”

With that, the two flew away. Wang Xianren was left alone pondering.

What Fan Wencheng said is indeed a precautionary measure, and there are also people in the Donglin Party who have repeatedly played the role of reluctantly suppressing agriculture and business, but Jiangnan is the foundation of taxation, and if there is no big businessman owner, how much can the farmland tax revenue? In the future, I am afraid that I will have to rely too much on merchants for taxes, which is really dangerous. The sky is not as high as the people's hearts, so there is really only one way to use the barbarism of the Tartars to strangle the bud? I have to go back to Beijing to discuss this matter with my children and grandchildren. ”

Wang Xianren spent two hours meditating and forced out all the fire poison in his body, and then he got up overnight and flew towards the Xuanshengguo Mansion in the capital.

On the second day, Wang Xianren had already arrived at the Guogong Mansion, but he saw the crown prince Zhu Changluo.

It turned out that on this day, it was Zhu Changluo who held a banquet and invited the two largest businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, Feng and Tang.

"The Duke of Xuansheng Kingdom actually came from Wudang Mountain, it is really unexpected. It just so happens that today I borrowed your place to hold a banquet, and the prince deserves to be the chief!"

Wang Xianren's son Wang Yueyang, as well as his nephew Wang Huazhen, and his brother Wang Xiangqian, who also belonged to the same clan, were surprised when they saw Wang Xianren's sudden arrival, and they came forward to pay their respects.

Wang Xianren was slightly taken aback when he saw that Zhu Changluo was also there, and then when he heard the banquet, he had an idea in his heart: "Zhu Changluo is a master of the world." The Feng family, the Tang family is the largest businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is good to see it, I can also figure out whether what Fan Wencheng said is alarmist. ”

"It is an honor for the prince to set up a banquet, and the poor road came to Beijing from Wudang Mountain, just to travel home to see. happened to meet a banquet, so he naturally obeyed his orders. ”

"Xuansheng Gong Confucianism and Taoism double cultivation, as well as the realm of earth immortals, the origin of holy learning, I still have to treat him with teacher courtesy, Guogong really doesn't have to be polite. ”

Zhu Changluo's body is slender, the jade tree is in the wind, he is playing with the bamboo folding fan of the Han jade pendant Xiangfei in his hand, he is wearing a silver silk dress with gold thread piping, and his hair is tied up with bright yellow silk.

At this moment, the sound of squeaking snow falling from the sedan chair sounded outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion.

Xuansheng Guogong Mansion is not far from Chongwen Gate, covering an area of two or three tilts, the whole mansion with servants and maids, no less than two hundred, houses one after another, row by row, divided into four large gardens, east, west, north and south, and there are many wide places such as the front garden, the back garden, the nine-song corridor, the training ground, etc., ordinary people go in, and it is not easy to turn out.

"What a big house. Wang Xiuchu followed Zhang and Tong Ernu, got off the sedan chair, and saw a row of families at the gate of the Guogong Mansion neatly and neatly, without opening their mouths to play haha.

Zhang Yanran smiled and nodded: "The Guogong Mansion is second only to the Wangfu, how can you do it without a little style?" looked at the clouds on the mansion again, turned to Tong Ling and said, "There are still masters in it." ”

After handing over the invitation, the family at the door led the way, and the four of them walked through a long corridor of flower halls, and then changed to two little maids to lead the way.

"Zhu Gongzi is in the main hall, waiting for the two young ladies. Wang Xiuchu looked around, and suddenly heard that there were two maids at the other end of the flower hall leading the way in front, followed by two young ladies, one noble and elegant, and the other petite and exquisite, who were the two daughters who had been drunk and beaten on the side of the road.

"It's really not that they don't meet!" Wang Xiuchu was not in a hurry in his heart, and only pretended not to know the two.

Entering the living room of the house, more than a dozen dishes are steaming on the carved garden table, full of dazzling, sè fragrance, all of which are carved and carved carefully. Wang Xiuchu couldn't help but have an itchy throat and wanted to drink again.

"This is the predecessor of Xuansheng Gong Wang Xianren, and it just so happened that he was here on Wudang Mountain. Before he was seated, Zhu Changluo looked at Tong Zhang's second daughter with a smile, and then shifted his gaze, greeted the second daughter of Feng Tang, and even smiled at Shangguan Ziyan.

"It turned out to be the predecessor of the Xuantian Ascension Dragon Dao Sect Master, the disciple of the Xiakongtong Sect. "Zhang, Tong and the two girls said a blessing to Wang Xianren.

Wang Xianren nodded, did not speak, but looked straight at Wang Xiuchu.

Wang Xiuchu suddenly felt chills all over his body, and when he looked up, he saw a fierce cold eye like ten thousand years of ice staring at him.

"This old miscellaneous hair, such a high skill!" Wang Xiuchu immediately met Wang Xianren's cold gaze, and did not show weakness.

"There are no disloyal and unfilial gods in the world. Wang Xianren retracted his gaze and said intentionally or unintentionally.

"That's nature, that's what the Sect Master said. The unfaithful and unfilial immortals have all become immortals and soared, and there is naturally no one in the world. "Wang Xiuchu killed his father at the beginning, and he had to be arrested for a long time, but he was swept away by Wang Zhong, knowing that Wang Xianren was targeting him.

Glancing at the wind, the two daughters of Tang, but found that the two girls didn't seem to know themselves, Wang Xiuchu secretly wondered in his heart: "These two women don't know me for no reason, it's not simple, they actually hold their breath." Be careful, don't fall for any conspiracy. ”
