Chapter 373: Confucianism Has Saints
A group of four people walked through the golden persimmon forest of Little Lotus Peak and came to the top of the mountain near the Turtle Pack Monument, built by imperial edict at the beginning of the Dafeng Dynasty, with the inscription, “The Imperial Taoist Ancestral Court of Danyue,” symbolizing the glory of Wudang Mountain hundreds of years ago, and its gigantic size was unparalleled in the world. The only woman among the four tourists grasped a ripe persimmon in her hand and stood under the Turtle Pack Monument, tilting her head to browse the inscription. The remaining three men stood side by side on the cliffside, looking out over the landscape at the foot of Wudang Mountain. The oldest man was wearing a sword at his waist, standing in the center, on his left was a thin swordsman carrying a long sword, and on his right was an elegant Confucian scholar with white temples.
Then when the beautiful woman casually turned her head, saw an odd scene, I do not know when there is only one person left over there standing on the cliff, the original swordsmen and knives have been back dozens of steps, not far from her.
She gently walked to the side of the two elders, to the old man wearing a sword softly asked, “Grandpa Mao, Uncle Cheng this is?”
The three of them were none other than the Southern Border Dragon Palace Young Palace Master Lin Hong Ape, the first person of the Southern Blade Technique Mao Shulang, and the Sword Dao Patriarch JI Liu’an.
Mao Shulang, who had snow-white eyebrows and hair, lowered his voice and succinctly said, “Opportunity.”
This kind of riddle, Lin red ape natural not understand, eyes doubtfully turned his head to look at the dragon palace chief guest secretary ji six an, the latter hesitated, is also the voice of the slight said: “the old course as the old south tang first class style Confucian, from the high family, but do not like fame, perennial book tour, traveled all over the north and south of the Yangtze river, before the guilt of the destruction of his country at the time but the power is not able to do it, this is only to begin to practice martial arts! So many years past, down-to-earth, in the martial arts road climb step by step layer by layer, and finally somehow in the finger Xuan realm stagnation, up to 20 years long, this trip to cool trip, thick and thin, there have been signs of breakthroughs, and the western Chu Cao Changqing and that Hui Mountain Xuanyuan Jingcheng, have similarities.”
Lin Hong ape was surprised, “Uncle Cheng is finally going to be among the heavenly image realm?!”
Mao Shulang didn’t care if she was the future Dragon Palace head, and even more so, he didn’t care how she was involved with the father and son of the Southern Border Clan King, “Silence!”
Lin Hong ape was instantly silenced, blushing slightly.
Cheng Baishang put his hands behind his back and looked far to the south.
The old Confucian scholar stood alone on the edge of the cliff, muttering to himself: “Outside the body, holding a violent violent tail and talking about it, it is like a pie in the sky. In the body within the body, asking the bushel what is in the mind is the only way to be pure.”
“Moral writings are destroyed with the body, but the spirit lasts forever. Merit, fame and wealth, empty by the world, but the temperament of a thousand years will not change.”
“If you don’t do frowning things in your life, there will be no one with cut teeth in the world, how ridiculous!”
The old man slowly closed his eyes, the wind whipped his face, his sleeves fluttered.
The phenomenon suddenly, Mao Shulang fierce wide-eyed, in a flash has been unsheathed, the body swept forward, and just like closed eyes resting Cheng Baishang shoulders, hit the cliff, just one step short of falling down the cliff.
The old man’s knife is silent, but the astral force is majestic, such as a round of light and bright arc of the moon floating in front of the body!
Lin Hongzaru only saw the cliff outside the high altitude, for no reason appeared a white body back, big sleeve bulging more than, she stretched out two fingers, against the Mao Shulang that knife astral energy.
The fairy-like white woman retreated dozens of feet, which canceled out that majestic and unrivaled astral energy.
The tall woman stood up straight and hovered in the air with no foothold, the mountain wind whistling under her feet and the clouds lingering on her side.
Lin Hongzaru drew in a breath of cold air, recognizing the identity of this uninvited guest, the Guanyin Sect’s Tantai Calm, the world’s leader of qi practitioners!
Although Lin Hongzaru was at a disadvantage in all the fights with the young king, but in fact she was not only not stupid, but extremely intelligent and rhinoceros, she immediately realized in her heart that Cheng Baishang’s heavenly ascension this time was not as simple as being among the Heavenly Elephants of the Fingers of the Xuan!
Mao Shulang, whose hair was as angry as a sword and halberd, did not care whether it would disturb Cheng Baishang’s realm of two oblivions, and said sternly to the white-robed Immortal Master, “If you want to make trouble from it, ask my Mao Shulang’s sword first!”
Tantai calmly glanced at the old Confucianist who was oblivious to what was happening outside of his body, and said flatly, “How many days can there be when a blazing fire is cooking oil and flowers are covered in brocade?”
Mao Shulang gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “I’m a reckless man, I don’t understand your Tantai Patriarch’s subtle Zen!”
Tantai calmly no longer pay attention to Mao Shulang, his line of sight shifted slightly, and asked Cheng Baishang, “Since you have such a state of mind, you should know that in the future there will be at most four or five Land Immortals, and each of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism will certainly account for one of them, and the grasses of the Jianghu Lake will either be one or two, so if you force yourself to break through at this time, you will not only be unable to be truly amongst the Land Immortals because there is a line of separation between you, but will also be able to give up on the future of the Sage of Confucianism that is within your grasp! What’s the difference between seeking death?”
Cheng Baishang slowly opened his eyes and said frankly, “Is that kind of Confucian Sage still a Confucian Sage? My Confucian saint once said that the people do not fear death, so why do they fear death? Today, I, Cheng Baifang, have never coveted longevity, so why should I entice it with longevity?”
Tantai calmly sneered, “They are all frogs at the bottom of the well!”
Cheng Baishang was full of vigor and laughed loudly, “It is said that in times of prosperity there are capable ministers, and in times of chaos there are famous generals, and it is also said that the country is unfortunate and the poets are fortunate, so I, Cheng Baishang, have made some sour poems, but I am not willing to nod my head and agree to them! When the country is in trouble, we can die generously, although we have no regrets, how can we readers let the sands of the martial arts people enjoy its beauty!”
Tantai calmly laughed coldly, “If you want to die, then you can die, it’s just one more Confucian lonely ghost in my clan’s Water Moon patio.”
Cheng Baishang smiled boldly and said aloud, “This is only good, the present generation is not ashamed of the ancients!”
Tantai Calm was silent and indifferent.
Lin Hongzaru stared wide-eyed, her heart and mind swaying as she gazed in fascination at this tall woman with a dusty demeanor. For the self-proclaimed for heaven, Lin red ape is not a stranger to the qi practitioners, Yan Royal Edict King Zhao Bing side there are several of these strange and exotic, body with a view of the world as a fire on the other side of the cold breath, extremely unsympathetic, for the ordinary people are thirsty for fame and fortune, those white immortal master from the bottom of the heart loathing, perennial reticence, ordinary people and their interaction, do not have the luxury of hoping that they can bare their hearts with you. Because of this Tantai Patriarch is a woman, Lin red ape has always been extremely worship, if the ginger mud is following the Wu Su after a well-deserved women’s sword fairy, the great snow ping Xuanyuan Qingfeng is also the cultivation of the role of the jianghu, but these two women after all, the age is too young, high-minded Lin red ape is difficult to go to heartfelt respect, Tanya calm is not the same, the age of a hundred years old, the face of the permanent, the earth immortal, so Lin red ape in this life is the most admired and envious! The most admired and envied character in Lin Hongzaru’s life is naturally Tantai Calm!
We must know that the beauty of the old state of the famous generals, especially pitiful, she Lin Hongzaru very early with a variety of ambitions, one of which, is to Tantai calm to ask for advice on the unique techniques to stay in the face of the method, Lin Hongzaru hope that their death is still the age of the wonderful.
Unfortunately, Tantai calmly flickered, came and went without a trace, from beginning to end did not look at Lin red ape half an eye.
JI Liu An and Cheng Baishuang know each other for dozens of years, the most irreverent and sincere feelings, sentimental: “Old Cheng, really as Tantai calm said?”
Cheng Baishang did not hide, nodded: “My great heavenly realm, indeed, is plucked, can not be maintained for a long time, as for the achievement of Confucian saints someday, it is even more needless to think about.”
JI Liu’an sighed with a long sigh.
Cheng Baishang in turn comforted this close old friend, “Readers all learned, always want to fall in practice. Do that alone in the mountain prime minister under the forest fairy, what benefit?”
JI Liu’an long exhaled a breath, said in a deep voice: “That line, I will accompany you to go outside the Liangzhou Pass!”
Cheng Baishang asked with a smile, “And why are you doing this?”
JI Liu’an reached out and pointed to the longsword on his back, “This old fellow of mine hasn’t cut off the heads of the Northern Mang barbarians yet!”
Lin Hong Ape’s mind shook, if Cheng Baifang, who was rootless in the jianghu, wanted to stay in Northern Liang, she, the small ally of the Southern Border jianghu, was quite indifferent, but if even the clan’s chief guest secretary stayed along with him, she would not be able to go back to Mr. Nalan and give an account of it.
Mao Shulang, who had sheathed his sword, suddenly said, “Add me to the list.”
Lin Hong ape’s jaw dropped.
Three martial arts masters accompanied her when she came, but she would be left alone when she went?
Besides staying young forever, her other ambition was to arm wrestle with Xuanyuan Qingfeng and become the second female martial arts alliance leader in Liyang! And with her close to the water tower Mao Shulang Cheng Baishang JI Liu’an three people, was originally her top of the jianghu indispensable help.
Lin Hongyuan knew that once they made up their minds, I’m afraid that only Mr. Nalan himself would have a chance to persuade them back.
She recalled that plot of her own heart not long ago and murmured, “Retribution is not easy!”
And the Confucian scholar Cheng Baishang looked afresh into the distance, and for no reason let out his voice: “The son said: the three hundred poems, in a nutshell, the most moving part is all in ‘Si Wu Yi’!”
Elderly readers with gray temples, at this moment full of smiles.
In the past, the young man thought of innocence.
The late twilight years should be the same.
