PS: Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
……

Yangchun March
Soyang Kyoto
At this moment, vitality has emerged, and everything in the world is covered with a layer of thriving green.

Affected by the Dragon Emperor's ascension to the throne, heaven and earth celebrate it. These days, spiritual rain falls every day in Zhaoyang Kyoto, and the drought is greatly relieved. The people cheer for the Dragon Emperor's mercy.

Every household has set up the Longevity Monument of the Dragon Emperor, prostrating every day, lest their hearts be dishonest.

Speaking of which, without the oppression of the Zhaoyang imperial family, the Dragon Emperor does not care about world affairs, and governs from the bottom of his hand. All matters, large and small, in the four kingdoms are all decided by the joint cabinet composed of the three lines of Netherworld, Humanity, and Shinto.

The world became clean by three points in an instant.

Although there are also criminals and oppressors everywhere, compared with the past, they have been greatly relieved.

If the common people have problems involving demons and ghosts, they can go to the Dragon Temple to worship ghosts and gods, and there will be monks from the underworld to deal with them.

The current Lord of the Nether Palace is Zhu Jiuyou, and the people generally like to jokingly call him King Yama.

All matters related to humanity are controlled by the cabinet jointly launched by the cities of the four countries. For the time being, Fang Wenshan is the first chief assistant of the cabinet.

Shinto is in charge of monitoring the two veins of Nether and Human Dao, and also deals with the belief of the Dragon Emperor, demons and ghosts.

In fact, it is equivalent to the sacrifice of the Dragon Emperor.

Management is a bit more complicated.

For the time being, it is under the jurisdiction of the Saintess Spiritual Ceremony, with Yanglong Temple and others assisting.

today
In front of Zhaoyang's old school palace.

Sheers walked out of it slowly, and behind him was a group of seniors from the school who glared at him and pointed at him.

Some people simply yelled at him, saying that he was a running dog of the Dragon Emperor, and that he would be struck by lightning for his evil deeds of bullying teachers and destroying ancestors and killing kings.

There are also some who are calling him a master's successor in vain, and he is actually a generation who has no king or minister in his heart, a chaotic minister and a thief.

Anyway, it's hard to say.

However, Xue Ersi didn't care, he came to this old school palace once, and he just took some relics of his master Wan Hualong with him.

As for what these people thought of him, they didn't pay attention, or didn't care at all.

That indifferent attitude made Ji beside him feel curious.

At this moment, Ji took Xiaoqing by the hand and asked, "Isn't Ersi annoyed?"

Xue Ersi shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "Annoyed? Why should you be annoyed? Everyone just has different ideas. They are the former courtiers of the Zhaoyang royal family, and I am a member of the Dragon Emperor. After all, they just have different ideas. Come to think of it, I actually admire them."

"Admiration?" Ji muttered these two words, and then asked: "Why?"

Xue Ersi was silent for a while, and then said: "To this day, in the current scene, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor swept across the four directions, and all the major powers of the four countries were moved by the wind and surrendered."

"They may wag their tails and beg for mercy, or bow their heads and bow their heads. But these old people in the academy are different. They still stand by the Zhaoyang royal family. Even though they know that the Zhaoyang royal family has become history, they still never let go."

"On the side of the Dragon Emperor, you can say that they stick to the old rules, or you can say that they don't repent, but no matter what, there are not many people who still stick to their own ideas."

"So, they deserve my admiration. Even if they regard me as an enemy."

What Sheers said was categorical without any hesitation.

Ji slightly moved and nodded.

However, he could still see the trace of loneliness in Sheers' eyes.

silent for a moment

Xue Ersi opened his mouth, but his voice was hoarse: "Ji Jun, what's the use of reading?"

"Dragon Emperor's three veins, divided into heaven, earth and people, rule everything. With His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, the government is clear and the weather is smooth. What's the use of us studying? Where is our Confucianism and Taoism?"

"His Majesty the Dragon Emperor...doesn't need a scholar."

It turned out that he was worrying about the road to Confucianism and Taoism. Although he innovated learning, he still had no way to go.

But today, the old school and his party touched his mind even more.

The theory that reading is useless has become very popular in Zhaoyang Kyoto.

Seeing this, Ji sighed, and was about to say something when he saw a vendor selling candied haws walking past the two of them.

"Hold on!"

He apologized, and then bought three candied haws, stuffed one for Xiaoqing, kept one for himself, and handed the other to Xueersi, saying:
"It's been a long time since I ate the candied haws from Zhaoyang Kyoto. The taste is still as good. Although the person has changed, the taste has not changed. Would you like to try it?"

Xueersi couldn't laugh or cry, but still took the candied haws, looked at them carefully, and sighed: "Yes, the people have not changed, but the taste has not changed. This Zhaoyang is still the Zhaoyang of our human race."

After finishing this sentence, he looked at Ji, and realized that he was mentioning himself cryptically, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he asked curiously: "Ji Jun has also been to Zhaoyang Capital before?"

As soon as these words came out, even Xiaoqing, who was happily eating candied haws, opened her big round eyes and looked over curiously.

Ji stuffed the candied haws into his mouth, chewed them twice, and said vaguely with puffed cheeks: "Today is free, let's go for a walk in the suburbs, let's talk as we go."

The three of them walked out of the city all the way.

The grass outside the city is green, and because the spiritual rain has just fallen, the people are taking advantage of the wetness of the land to sow seeds.

Therefore, in the fields, as far as the eye can see, there are children who are working hard and laughing.

The Dragon Emperor sheltered this place, which gave them unprecedented satisfaction.People are no longer afraid of evil spirits, and officials dare not act recklessly.

Vitality is gradually spreading in this ancient land.

The three of them stopped at the ridge, Ji Xian patted Xiaoqing on the head and said, "Let's go play."

The latter cheered and ran straight to the children playing in the field.

Then Ji said slowly: "This is the capital, how can I forget it. I was born here."

born here?

Shears was taken aback.

Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued: "I was born a thousand years ago. At that time, Zhaoyang was in chaos, and the monster of rats was rampant, and the people were in dire straits."

"I am the sixth son in my family. I have three older sisters and two older brothers. My family is poor, and I don't know where to eat three meals a day. Speaking of which, my biggest wish at that time was to make this bunch of candied haws worth less than a penny. Missing it day and night, I don’t know what it feels like.”

"Ers, do you know when I first ate candied haws?"

Ji asked suddenly.

Shears shook her head.

Ji continued: "That was when I was five years old. One day, my father got some copper coins from somewhere, spent them all, and asked me to worship a gentleman in the village as a teacher. That day , my father was happy, so he bought me a bunch of candied haws. The taste...is still fresh in my memory."

"It's just that that night, I found that the eldest sister who loved me the most was gone. Later, I heard that she married an old man in his sixties as a concubine. Since then, I have never seen my eldest sister again."

Xue Ersi's heart trembled when she heard this.

The origin of this copper coin, could it be...

He didn't want to think about it any more.

However, more cruel is yet to come.

Then I heard Ji, and continued: "When I was six years old, I didn't have enough Shuxiu, and my father raised a sum of money for me to study. But I have always been reluctant to eat an extra bite, and I have to leave all the good things to my second sister. , gone too."

"When I was seven years old, my third sister also left me crying, and I have never seen her again in this life."

"When I was eight years old, my father took my fourth brother and fifth brother to hunt in the mountains, thinking that I could help him to cultivate, but there were only two of us back. It is said that the fifth brother died at the mouth of tigers and wolves."

"When I was nine years old, my fourth brother also went."

"When I was 12 years old, my parents, who were also in the demon turmoil, died."

Having said that, Ji was silent for a while.

Then I stuffed another candied haws into my mouth, regained my composure, and continued: "So, I don't know if there is anything wrong with reading, and I don't know if reading is useful, and I don't know what Confucianism and Taoism are. For readers."

"At that time, I only knew that I should and must study. Because my father told me since I was a child, I can only study to survive."

"People have seven emotions and six desires. When all the emotions are added together, I understand that my fate is destined to be constantly involved in books. Only reading, and only reading."

"During the millennium, I have been involved in black mountains and white waters, and gone through hundreds of calamities and hardships, in order to find my own book in every life."

"I studied the history of the Spring and Autumn Classics hard. When I was six years old, the first time I came into contact with a book, I couldn't put it down; at the age of nine, I realized a little truth, and my soul stood above the nine heavens. For the first time, I wanted to write a book that belonged to me. own book ideas."

"At the age of 20, I am familiar with the books and scriptures of the world. I have traveled across Zhaoyang's four fields, above the court, and I am invincible."

"I created a system. In future generations, there will be derogatory and rewarding ones, and there will be laughers, and there will be no lack of dismissive people."

"For thousands of years, they have said that I am a person who likes to kill and punish people, speaks sweetly and hates swords, criticizes with words and pens, and is duplicity. I am the most insidious scholar."

"I don't care. After all, you have to know that everyone has their own specialties. Some people are strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away; It is to enjoy the pleasure that belongs to scholars."

"The way I created began with the mighty grace of heaven, chasing hundreds of ghosts and walking at night like no other in the world, the wind is silent, the heart is like still water, the light has no shadow, the seven swords are unbalanced; the sea is inclusive of all rivers, and it is completely pecked."

"The way I created is only for my way, because that is what I created, and it has nothing to do with you, others, or sentient beings."

Ji put his hands behind his back and said lightly.

Sheersi was silent for a while, and after a long time, she regained her brilliance in her eyes. Immediately, a burst of astonishing aura soared up to the sky, and the situation in the world changed.

His strength has broken through!

In an instant, the boundary of the fourth rank was broken, and it reached the level of the third rank!

However, this was not over yet, the aura continued to expand, and after three to five minutes, a burst of white brilliance flashed, and the surrounding air was cleared.

Rank two and a half saint, success!

However, the spirit of Confucianism and Taoism in him is completely different from that of scholars.

It is also different from Ji's breath.

Xue Ersi slowly withdrew the strength in her body, bowed slightly to Ji, and said: "The way I created is only for myself. Reading is only for myself. It doesn't matter if it is useful or not for others."

"Before, I was too stubborn. Reading is to persevere and not be moved by foreign objects. Whether it is studying for the country or having other purposes, it makes reading no longer pure."

Reading is only for yourself, it seems selfish, not as lofty as the country and people, but it is also the most sincere and purest.

What Schears lacks is not the idea of ​​sacrificing for the country and studying for the human race. What he lacks is only this little incompleteness and incompleteness.

Reading for himself, the concept is pure, the most simple, seemingly incomplete, but it is the last link to complete his new study of Confucianism and Taoism.

Those who shout every day to establish a heart for the world, a life for the people, a sage for the past, and a peace for the eternal world, in fact, their reading is the most impure and unclean.

Ji smiled slightly, with a flash of admiration in his eyes, he said, "Have you realized it?"

"I realized, my thoughts were too complicated and I thought too much, but in the end, it was just a dream come true."

Shears said lightly.

It seems that he really gave up some attachments and re-established his own way of reading.

From the beginning, I only wanted to do something for the living beings, to contribute myself to the world, and now I only study for myself. Although it seems to be a step back and my intentions are inferior, I have been free from the sea and the sky.

Free from now on, no longer bound.

It is no longer limited to the old way of the master.

This is the path that new learning should take.

Ji nodded, and continued: "Your journey has just begun. Don't worry, take your time, see the big from the small, it might be a new path."

"Forget it, this candied haws is finished, let's go, I won't play with you anymore."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards Xiaoqing.

Xue Ersi's eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands at Ji's again, and said softly, "Ji Jun, but Master?"

Ji waved his hands without turning his head. He laughed and said, "Master? That's a saint, a saint who is dedicated to others. I only like selfishness, so I'm not him."

……

After Ji left, Sheers stood where she was again, silent for a long time.

after a while

He suddenly said, "Is Your Majesty still coming out?"

Immediately, a figure emerged.

It was Emperor Xuan Jing.

He was still dressed as a Taoist priest, looked at Xue Ersi, and said indifferently: "You can't be called Your Majesty, Lord Xue, please don't speak nonsense. It would be bad if His Majesty the Dragon Emperor heard about it."

Xueersi was noncommittal, and after a while, he continued: "Your Majesty, you know that I suggested that the Dragon Emperor behead you to the public. After all, the Zhaoyang royal family has committed many evils, and not killing you is not enough to anger the common people."

"But the Dragon Emperor is merciful and did not kill you. However, His Majesty appeared in front of us, so you are not afraid to attack me? Ji Jun is here, Your Majesty should have nowhere to escape."

Emperor Xuanjing heard the words sighed, and said: "My royal family of Zhaoyang has indeed done many evils, killing a hundred times is not enough to repay the evil consequences. But I still have some uses, this remnant body can also be used by His Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

"So, if Mr. Xue kills me, please wait patiently. When the person I'm waiting for arrives, it won't be too late to kill me."

wait?

Xue Ersi was slightly taken aback, frowned, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know your Majesty, who are you waiting for?"

Emperor Xuan Jing didn't say much, instead he wiped his forehead, revealing a big number 2 on his forehead.

Immediately, he raised his head and looked towards the void. In the sky, a dark phantom was heading towards this place at high speed.

"The person I'm waiting for..."

"he came!"

……

　Recommend a book.
