I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 643 Li Kegong goes to Beijing to file a complaint
The questions formed by the righteous energy dissipated like water waves. Cui Yu put the scholar in the Confucius Courtyard aside and took the two of them one step further into the peach and plum forest of eighty-one trees planted by the Confucian sage himself.

The moment they stepped into the peach and plum forest, Yu Hong and Zhou Minmin felt that the sound of cicadas chirping in their ears suddenly became louder. The cicadas' chirping came from the treetops of large trees that were four or five meters high, and it was extremely noisy.

But it is now the middle of winter, and although Confucius Courtyard is close to the south, the sound of cicadas should not be too loud at this time.

"It's the Spring and Autumn Cicada!"

Cui Yu looked solemn.

The previous levels were all small tests. If one had enough Confucian knowledge, one would naturally be able to pass them. However, Confucius Temple had been passed down for thousands of years, so how could they not have considered the situation where Confucians themselves would come to eat the fruit? Therefore, they raised spring and autumn cicadas here.

Historians built a historical corridor in the Imperial Academy on Yujing Mountain. How could Confucius Academy, which is such an important place like Taolilin, not have a historical corridor?

The foundation of this historical corridor is the chirping of cicadas in spring and autumn.

The sound of cicadas became louder and louder. Although the surrounding scenery remained the same, time had unknowingly gone back thousands of years. The dark yellow lotus in Yu Hong's arms bloomed with brilliance, covering the three people and preventing them from being washed away by time.

Yu Hong could only vaguely see figures coming and going under the big trees. Each of them had a powerful aura. Most of them were Confucianists, and they could kill the three little thieves with just one finger.

But the Spring and Autumn Cicada seemed unsatisfied, and time continued to go backwards, turning the eighty-one towering trees back into the appearance of having just blossomed and borne fruit. Under the trees, there was a tall old man wearing simple white clothes, his snow-white hair was neatly combed, and he wore a crown on his head.

Yu Hong looked at the old man's appearance carefully, but the moment he saw that face, his head buzzed, as if countless information was stuffed into his mind, which made him feel like he was looking directly at the God of Heaven!
At this moment, Yu Hong knew who was in front of him.

Cui Yu had already lowered his head and stepped forward, bowing respectfully and saying, "Meet the Confucian Sage."

The Spring and Autumn Cicada has rotated for nearly ten thousand years. Time is a barrier, and the historical image of this Confucian sage is also a barrier.

The Confucian sage looked at the three of them from a distance of ten thousand years, as if they were living people. He first looked at Cui Yu and asked, "What is the great gift that you would not refuse such a small concession?"

Cui Yu answered honestly, "The world is in chaos now, and the emperor of the human race wants to ascend the throne. If it succeeds, the world will be happy. If it fails, it needs to be decided by heaven again. This is a great gift."

The Confucian sage nodded slightly and sighed, "It is indeed a great gift, but how can you be sure that what you are doing is right?"

Cui Yu frowned. Who could know for sure that he was right about the matter of destiny?
The Confucian sage is asking whether he will deviate from Confucian moral teachings in this process?
Cui Yu found it difficult to answer for a moment, because their current doctrines seemed to have long deviated from the teachings of Confucian sages.

On the contrary, Yu Hong, seeing that the Confucian sage did not take action directly but asked them, had an idea, "The only one who knows me and judges me is the Spring and Autumn Annals. The ultimate goal of Confucianism is to establish a unified and prosperous era. As for the mistakes in the process, they should be recorded truthfully to serve as a warning to future generations. The process is important, but the unified and prosperous era is more important. Therefore, we must use our own heart to replace the heart of heaven, and let the sage make decisions alone!"

The Confucian Sage turned to look at Yu Hong and smiled, "It seems that the human race has grown up over the past few thousand years."

He stretched out his slender finger and touched Yu Hong's chest. The dark yellow lotus flew out and landed in his palm. A stone monkey with seven orifices and nine colors appeared, looking very naive.

The Confucian Sage looked at the stone monkey and the lotus, and said softly, "It turns out that He has been reborn, and the Earth Mother is willing to support Him."

The Confucian Sage looked at Cui Yu and the other two again. He knew that entering the peach and plum forest was obviously not something they could plan, so he asked, "What kind of prosperous era does He want to determine this time?"

The Confucian Sage was the most hostile to Shintoism among the Three Saints and Five Emperors of the human race, so he was actually the one who supported Zhou Tieyi the most. As a high-ranking human being at that time, he understood how difficult the whole process would have been if Zhou Tieyi, the most ancient god, had not anchored the future of the human race.

Cui Yu replied, "The Divine Master Yanhuang established the Lotus World, temporarily blocking the prying eyes of many divine veins. Within the human race, He seems to want to integrate Shinto, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, and Gongshujia's mechanical arts to achieve great unification."

The Confucian sage thought carefully for a moment, then smiled and said, "At this moment, I seem to have no choice but to believe in Him."

He has fallen for thousands of years, and in order to suppress Shinto and establish the destiny of the human race, he was the one who fell the most completely, because he did not take advantage of the opportunity of the saint's fall from the throne to seek a means of resurrection for himself.

Now if the world is in chaos as Cui Yu said, he can either choose to support Zhou Tieyi or create a small obstacle here, but he has no grudges against Zhou Tieyi, and Zhou Tieyi has also created the prosperity of the human race, so he is naturally willing to believe Zhou Tieyi.

So he said to the three men, "I will personally teach this monkey for a few years. You can go pick some fruit."

He waved his sleeves, and the three of them felt dizzy again. When they came to their senses, they were back in the peach and plum forest. The fruits on the trees were sparse and not densely packed, but they all had a unique fragrance.

With the permission of the Confucian sage, Yu Hong made a prompt decision and climbed up a tree. He first asked Cui Yu, "Is there any rule for picking this fruit? Does it require special treasures, or things that avoid the five elements?"

Cui Yu shook his head.

Yu Hong immediately started to work. Since the Confucian sage had agreed, Yu Hong was not polite at all. He picked seven or eight and dropped them on the ground, "You eat first!"

He was not sure if he could take all the fruits away later, so he took and ate the good ones with big size first, and waited to see if he could take the bad ones with small size.

Zhou Minmin picked up two peaches and plums, handed one to Cui Yu first, and then started eating them by herself. The peaches and plums melted in her mouth and turned into a stream of pure air. The pure air combined with the secret martial arts practiced by Zhou Minmin to directly form dragon seals, which put her into a state of enlightenment.

Cui Yu had eaten peaches and plums before, and now that the Confucian sage had agreed, he had no psychological burden at all. He picked up the fruit and ate it slowly.

Yu Hong was eating and picking fruits at the same time. Suddenly, he saw a monkey on another tree picking fruits faster than him. He asked tentatively, "Yuan Tong?"

The monkey leaped over and asked, "Who are you and why are you picking fruit in my house?"

At this time, Yuantong was covered in golden fur, and his facial features looked more like a human than a monkey.

The Confucian sage taught the monkeys thousands of years ago, so relative to the present time, not much has passed.

Yu Hong smiled bitterly. It was really the nature of a monkey. It was clearly me who brought you in to steal peaches, but how come the peaches suddenly became yours? He was afraid that the monkey would freeze him like the Seven Fairies, so he quickly said, "It was the Confucian Sage who asked me to pick some peaches."

Yuan Tong suddenly realized, and without thinking too much, "You mean the old man."

He looked at the big peaches and plums in Yu Hong's arms again and muttered, "Even though it's my family's treat, you have to be polite. You don't have to move the peach trees away."

Yu Hong was speechless after being scolded.

On the other side, in the tea room, when Yu Hong and others started picking peaches, Li Kegong became more and more restless. He stopped discussing with Yao Qin and his mind wandered away. The next moment, his face turned ashen.

For a moment, the sky above the Confucius Courtyard was filled with thunder and dark clouds. The air was so solid that it seemed like a wall, pressing on everyone's chest, making it hard to breathe.

"Okay, I was wondering why the three of you came here today, but it turns out you came here to steal!"

Li Kegong, a Taoist Confucian, was a Taoist of the second rank, Shouxu. He also planted his own peach tree in the peach and plum forest. At this time, Yu Hong and others were picking peaches on his head. How could he not be angry!
Yao Qin had been prepared for this situation to happen. He was calm and composed. "Master Li is wrong. How can the affairs of scholars be regarded as theft?"

Seeing that the three men were fearless, Li Kegong shouted, "Yao Qin, how can you be a thief and still talk about great principles?"

Yao Qin smiled and said, "Those who steal a hook will be punished, and those who steal a country will be made princes. Master Li is a Taoist, so he must be familiar with this. I am stealing the mandate of heaven for my Confucianism, so I can't be considered a thief!"

Yao Qin spoke righteously, but this made Li Kegong furious. How could he not be familiar with this set of rhetoric? He used to say this to others. It is not a recent thing for Confucians to talk about destiny. It's just that Li Kegong never expected that one day it would happen to him!

Li Kegong's anger naturally attracted the attention of the Sishenggong who was in retreat. He came to the study and saw the two people at loggerheads. He frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Li Kegong told the story of Yao Qin colluding with outsiders to steal the peaches and plums, but Sishenggong did not curse him directly.

In the past, stealing peaches and plums would definitely be severely punished, but although peaches and plums grow slowly, they still have to grow after all, so he cares more about the purpose behind Yao Qin.

"Did the person from the Lotus World ask you to do this?"

Duke Sisheng immediately guessed it was Zhou Tieyi.

It’s just that Zhou Tieyi’s status is noble now, and he is unwilling to call him Tianzun, nor to call him by his name directly, so he calls him the one from the Lotus World.

Yao Qin did not mention Zhou Tieyi, but brought up the theory of destiny again, "The Confucian disciples are originally the ones that all Confucian scholars in the world have a share of. Today, we must use it to fight for our destiny."

After hearing this, Duke Sisheng also felt sick. He finally realized how much Confucianism could disgust others. But the peaches and plums had already been picked, and there was still the support of the Confucian school of destiny. If he and Li Kegong took down Yao Qin and others at this time, would it give Zhou Tieyi an excuse to clean up the Confucius Institute?

Now Zhou Tieyi is a true Heavenly Lord. He is not a saint, but better than a saint. Finding an excuse to take action may be Zhou Tieyi's real purpose. Then, with the doctrine of the Tianming School as the core, he will openly "split" the Confucius Institute. It will be even more disgusting at that time!
He turned his head and glanced at Li Kegong, and whispered, "You prevented Him from establishing the Thirty-three Heavens that day, and today it can be considered a cause and effect."

Li Kegong had a gloomy face. Zhou Tieyi established the Thirty-Three Heavens in Taiyi Temple. He participated in it at that time and successfully prevented the Thirty-Three Heavens from being directly established. Today, Zhou Tieyi asked people who believed in the Confucian doctrine of Tianming to steal the fruit. Perhaps he really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Someone, drive these uninvited guests out!"

He waved his hand and pretended to ignore it. Yao Qin got the advantage and stood up and said goodbye leisurely.

After Yao Qin and the others left, Li Kegong still felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Even if we don't take action on this matter, we have to let some people know about it!"

Since Yao Qin and others want to fulfill their destiny, they naturally have to let the current "destiny" know. Anyway, letting the Emperor of Daxia and Zhou Tieyi fight will not harm the Confucius Institute.

Duke Sisheng stretched out his hand and was about to hold Li Kegong and tell him about the bloodline he had sensed, but Li Kegong was determined and was afraid that Duke Sisheng would stop him and turn into clear air and disappear into the world.

Above the endless sea of ​​clouds, the pure air condensed again and turned into the appearance of Li Kegong. He looked down and saw that Yu Hong had already taken out the imaginary mechanical vehicle and used it in a dignified manner.

He snorted coldly, but his angry expression suddenly turned into a mysterious joy. He looked in the direction of Yujing Mountain and thought to himself, "I was just worried that there would be no opportunities, but I didn't expect that the opportunity would come to my doorstep."

He can afford to lose just a few decades of his studies.

Inside the imaginary mechanical car, the thieves left leisurely, even Yuantong was still very unconvinced.

Even Yao Qin felt strange, so she asked Cui Yu in detail about what happened.

Upon learning that the Confucian Sage had taught Yuantong alone for several years, he could hardly contain the gleam in his eyes. If the previous action taken by Zhou Tieyi, the Heavenly Venerable, was a manifestation of destiny, then now that the Confucian Sage had also taken action, didn't this just prove that destiny was truly in my hands!
Sha Youcheng was most concerned about Yuan Tong's condition. After some understanding, he found that he didn't know whether there was a problem with the teachings of the Confucian sage, or there was a problem with Zhou Tieyi letting Yuan Tong be reborn early. The current Yuan Tong was like a new life and had forgotten all his previous memories. The only thing that made Sha Youcheng happy was that because their Taoist traditions were connected, Yuan Tong still remembered his brother.

This is the best result for Sha Youcheng. As for the previous things, he can only teach them to Yuantong slowly again.

Yu Hong distributed the peaches and plums on the side. There were so many fruits, especially when Yuan Tong heard that he was being expelled, he was so angry that he caught a few Spring Autumn Cicadas. Even the Sisheng Duke could not catch the Spring Autumn Cicadas directly. No one knew what magical power the Confucian Sage taught Yuan Tong that allowed him to catch the Spring Autumn Cicadas directly.

Yu Hong handed the divided fruit to Sha Youcheng, one portion to Yao Qin, and left one portion for Yuan Tong. After all, these two little guys could not afford to pay for the future bills, and they had to let these big guys settle them.

The people took their share of peaches and plums without hesitation. Yuan Tong was still indignant and said, "The tree was clearly picked by the old man, and I am the one who takes care of it every year. How did it become theirs? Today they used their magical powers to drive me away. When I gain magical powers in the future, I will definitely take the tree back."

As soon as he said this, everyone present had a sense that this matter was definitely not over.
