The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 90: Don't tolerate it and then meet the gentleman (Please order first!)

"I am still puzzled. I have already reached the realm of heaven and man, so how can you continue to confuse my seven orifices, confuse my six desires, and control my five senses?" Hong Xixiang asked calmly.

Xi Mingzhang said casually:

"Brother Dao's first life was Wudang Mountain's founder Lü Dongxuan. His second life was Dao Jia Qi Xuanzhen from decades ago. He was the head of Longhu Mountain who slaughtered all the guardians of the Demon Sect single-handedly. His current life is Hong Xixiang."

He paused and chuckled:
"The reincarnation of a celestial being? Who isn't? I have many more titles than you, Brother Dao."

"I wonder which one you want to know? Is it the leader of the Demon Cult who has no scruples about life and death, is invincible, and is the only one who is invincible when the sun rises in the east? Or is it the Great Governor who can take whatever he wants, is hated by everyone, and suppresses the world?"

"He may be the immortal demon Buddha who is moody and has overwhelming demonic power, or he may be the first leader of a righteous sect who fights demons, defends the way, and protects the people."

"Or maybe it's Jiang Weiguang, the illegitimate prince of the royal family of Western Chu, who has already lost his country, and now calls himself a mountain Taoist priest of Huangtian."

Hong Xixiang sighed softly:
"I see."

His body disintegrated and turned into smoke and dust, and the immortal sword fell to the ground, wailing continuously.

Xi Mingzhang's figure gradually became solid. He glanced at the Wudang Mountain, which was no longer as elegant as before. He waved his sleeves, picked up the magic sword, and walked away a hundred feet in one step.

Two months later.

No matter whether there is turmoil in the martial arts world or the imperial court, it turns out that Hong Xixiang from Wudang Mountain, who boasted that he would not leave the mountain until he became the best in the world, is actually the reincarnation of Lu Zu.

In the royal family of the fallen Western Chu, there was still an unrivaled genius left. He reached the celestial realm before he was twenty years old, and killed the young prince of Northern Liang in one fell swoop. Later, he declared that he would wipe out the entire Xu family, but was stopped by Hong Xixiang.

The two fought a fierce battle and both disappeared, and it is unknown who won or lost.

Some people think that it must be Hong Xixiang, the reincarnation of Lu Zu, who won, while others think that if Hong Xixiang won, why would he disappear?

But if the heir of the Western Chu royal family, who is not even twenty years old, wins, it seems impossible no matter how you think about it.

After all, the masters in the martial arts world have always regarded being on par with Lu Zu as the highest honor. If a young boy really wins, I don’t know how many people will be upset and feel that they have practiced martial arts for most of their lives in vain.

Some people also asked the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu who was watching the battle at that time, but all they got was three words: I don't know.

For several months, there was no news about the two in the martial arts world. Most people believed that the heir of the Western Chu royal family was indeed extremely talented, so much so that he risked his life to severely injure Hong Xixiang, the reincarnation of Lu Zu.

In addition, regardless of what outsiders think, the Beiliang Palace forcibly brought back the eldest princess Xu Zhihu, who had married into the Lu family in Jiangnan and had become a widow, back to Beiliang after the Beiliang Prince was sent back to the palace by Wudang.

The second princess, Xu Weixiong, entered Shangyin Academy to study at the age of sixteen. This place looks like an academy, a place to learn some literature, morality, military tactics and political strategies, but in fact it is an unfathomable place.

Therefore, there was no news that Xu Weixiong returned to Beiliang.

During this period, there was an eerie calm in the martial arts world. The Prince of Beiliang had not shown up since he returned home, and the King of Beiliang had not taken any drastic actions after the death of his second son.

Others thought that the murderer was probably dead, which was why he seemed so calm.

Everyone knows that in Jianzhou, there is a sect and a family that are the most famous. The two are separated by only a river. To the west is Longhu Mountain, the ancestral home of Taoism with a hereditary Taoist tradition for more than sixty generations, and to the east is the Xuanyuan family with hundreds of years of history.

This day.

A young Taoist priest in a light yellow Taoist robe climbed up Mount Huishan as if he was going for a trip in the suburbs.

The Xuanyuan family dominates the southeast, and their strength should not be underestimated. There are at least a thousand well-known masters on the mountain, but no one noticed that an uninvited young Taoist priest came to the main peak, Guniu Dagang, at a leisurely pace.

Xi Mingzhang stopped in front of an ancient stele, and saw the words "Enjoy the Pure Bliss of the Land" written on the stele. The Xuanyuan family, located in Guniu Dagang, was filled with a foul smell inside and out. Suddenly, a middle-aged scholar with a calm aura from the inside out walked out of a loft built against the mountain. He seemed to have sensed something, and walked ten steps away from the ancient stele, and saw that there was actually a person standing next to the stele.

"This young Taoist priest has an extraordinary demeanor. Could it be that he is also here as a guest to seek the treasure book and secret manual of the Ding Pavilion?"

"I heard that the Xuanyuan family has a very rich collection of books. They built a Wending Pavilion with countless secret manuals. It is said that it is only slightly inferior to the Tingchao Pavilion in Beiliang."

"Besides, the Xuanyuan family is willing to recruit talents from all walks of life, so I want to come and take a look."

"So why stop there?"

“It’s just a pity.”

"pity?"

"What a beautiful place for spiritual practice, but it is full of people of all kinds, filthy and dirty. Isn't it a pity?" Xi Mingzhang glanced at the middle-aged scholar:

"I have also heard that the Xuanyuan family, when it comes to the Jing generation, is divided into three branches. The eldest grandson, Xuanyuan Jingcheng, is a nerd who is unwilling to practice martial arts and only wants to learn how to govern a country. Therefore, his status in the family is not high."

"Second grandson Xuanyuan is respectful, calm and steady. He welcomes guests from all over the world and is good at nurturing talents. He has attracted many martial arts elites to the Xuanyuan family and is one of the pillars of Xuanyuan."

"Young grandson Xuanyuan Jingxuan has the greatest talent in martial arts, and has the most arrogant reputation in the martial arts world."

"Now that I see you, I know that the eldest grandson of the Xuanyuan family, who has a low status, is the most hidden one."

Xuanyuan Jingcheng's eyes narrowed slightly and he said:

"You are joking, Taoist priest. I am just a useless scholar who has studied for decades."

"Mr. Xuanyuan has studied for so many years, I wonder if you can help me solve my doubts?"

"Over the years, I have gained some insights. It's okay for you to share them with me, Taoist Priest."

"If you do good deeds all your life, but end up in disgrace, or if you do evil deeds all your life, but end up in good reputation, what should you choose?"

"If it were me, I would choose the former, because doing good deeds will not bring good rewards, but will instead suffer the consequences of injustice, which is not a big deal, at most I will just feel bad, while the latter is to do evil and injustice, which is undoubtedly shameful to me."

"So, between terrible and shameful, I'll choose the former."

"Why don't good deeds bring good rewards?"

"A gentleman is firm in poverty, but a villain is licentious in poverty." Xuanyuan Jingcheng said sternly:
"Good people don't get good rewards. In this world, people who work hard may not necessarily get rewards. Good people may not necessarily get good rewards. Bad people often don't get retribution. But even if there is no good reward, we should still be good people."

"Because being a good person is what we are born to do, there is no reason."

After hearing this, Xi Mingzhang smiled:
“So, a gentleman is revealed only when he is not tolerated. It is because his own way is not tolerated by the world, so what is the harm? It is precisely because he is not tolerated that his ambition is revealed.”

"Such an arrogant way is truly like that of a Confucian sage, but it's a pity that he is trapped in a mountain and cannot be freed. What a pity!"

Xuanyuan Jingcheng remained calm and asked:
"Who is the Taoist priest? Why did you come to Huishan?"

"I passed by Huishan on the way and wanted to go up the mountain to have a look. But halfway through, I felt murderous intent in my heart." Xi Mingzhang looked leisurely:

"Although I don't like your nagging personality, based on what you just said, I will help you kill Xuanyuan Dapan."
