Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 550: Like a Divine Realm in Heaven
The canonization of the saints climbed the Dongshan Mountain to visit the holy elephant...

The news spread like wildfire in the two countries of Qi and Lu. Because of the mutual exchange of information among the 81 academies, it gradually spread to the whole Zhou world.

This made many people who were interested in the canonization focus their attention on Dongshan.

"You have been canonized as a saint and ascended the East Mountain to visit the Holy Elephant?"

"Canonization should also include visiting the holy image."

"The canonization should have been attended by the Holy Elephant long ago."

Before Feng Qingyan climbed up the East Mountain, the news had already spread to the north and south of the royal city.

Some people were surprised.

Some people recognize it.

Some think it’s long overdue.

Perhaps only after canonization can one understand something about this "holy image".

The so-called "holy images" naturally refer to the fragments left behind when the saints traced the origins on Dongshan Mountain. Rumor has it that those mysterious fragments contain a large number of blurred, disordered, mixed, obscure, mysterious colors or strange images...

Even hides a huge secret.

This secret may be related to the "Emperor's Throne", the reasons why the saints retired, why it is impossible for people in the world to become saints, and so on.

Why is Dongshan so highly regarded?

It is even known as the world's number one sacred mountain? Even the Tianbi Mountain, which is like a sky wall, is lower than Dongshan Mountain? Dongshan Mountain is only a thousand feet high, while Tianbi Mountain is more than ten thousand feet high...

Is this simply because seventy-two kings in ancient times performed Fengshan here?
Or is it because on the East Mountain there are footprints left by the King of Xia ascending to heaven, the remaining dreams of the Shang Emperor when he attained enlightenment, the blood letter written by the King of Man to pacify the world, and the fragments of the various philosophers tracing their origins?
Maybe that's true.

But why are there footprints of the King of Xia, the dreams of the Shang Emperor, the blood letter of the King of Man, and the holy images of the philosophers on the East Mountain?
This is because there have been rumors since ancient times that Dongshan is a holy place that leads directly to the emperor's throne.

In other words.

The secret to becoming the emperor of heaven and earth may be hidden on the East Mountain.

but.

No one has ever figured it out.

Therefore, when Feng Sheng went to Dongshan, one had to think more. For someone like Feng Sheng, did he go to Dongshan just to see the scenery?

Or admire the elegance of the ancient sages?

Don't be so naive.

Even a poet like Helian Shan would not think so.

Therefore, in Zangshan Academy and Bocheng, many students and scholars were discussing whether the saint could understand the holy image by ascending Dongshan Mountain. Many students in the academy believed that even if the eldest brother could not understand the holy image, he could still understand one or two, three or four...

This view is the mainstream in the burial mountain.

This view is also the mainstream in many Confucian academies and among many young students.

When many young students from Qi and Lu hurried to Dongshan, many people were watching. After all, many students still thought they had face, and they couldn't blindly follow the saints just because they climbed Dongshan...

Canonization is the canonization of saints.

Oneself is oneself.

You cannot lose yourself just because you are canonized.

……

At the foot of Dongshan Mountain.

Feng Qingyan got off the ox cart, took a few steps forward and looked up at Dongshan Mountain.

"Your Majesty, it is rumored that Dongshan is located in the east, where the sun rises and where all things originate. Therefore, Dongjun has the mysterious power to decide life and death?"

The green ox was also looking up at Dongshan, vaguely feeling the majestic power emanating from Dongshan, which caused its soul to be shaken a little.

At this time, it looked around and asked cautiously: "And from the power of life and death, it evolved into several major divine powers. The first is 'the replacement of the old with the new, strengthening the country and ensuring the people', the second is 'prolonging life, longevity and becoming an immortal', the third is 'blessings and official positions, noble and humble', the fourth is 'the time of life and death, the rule of ghosts', the fifth is..."

Feng Qingyan just smiled and said nothing.

And at this time.

Suddenly, a brilliant divine light burst out from the East Mountain, and fell in front of Feng Qingyan, turning into a road of divine light.

All around the Road of Divine Light, there are all kinds of illusory mythical birds and beasts, some flying in the sky, some lying on the ground, all with a welcoming look on their faces.

There are also various exotic flowers and plants blooming for the canonization. Waves of divine music descend from the sky.

The heaven and earth seemed to have transformed into a divine land.

This scene shocked the scholars following the ox cart. They did not expect Dongshan to show such high honor, but they felt relieved when they thought of his status as a saint.

Well-deserved canonization.

If not, Dongshan would be scolded by the world for being ignorant of etiquette.

At this time, many mighty gods and noble goddesses walked out from the brilliant divine light, came to Feng Qingyan, and saluted respectfully, saying: "We pay our respects to the Saint Feng and to all the students."

Feng Qingyan returned the gift.

The scholars around also hurriedly returned the greetings and looked at the gods and goddesses of Dongshan with some curiosity.

"Dongshan Fei Bai pays homage to the canonization."

A woman walking in front of the gods and goddesses saluted and said, "She is the Grand Master of Dongshan Divine Palace, named Fei Bai."

"Meet the Grand Master."

Feng Qingyan smiled in return.

"You are too polite to confer the title of Canon." The goddess exuded an indescribable charm, as if she was as beautiful as a city. She looked at Jiuge and saluted, saying, "This is Zangshanjun, right? Feibai is polite."

"No, no, just call me Jiuge."

Jiuge quickly returned the greeting.

The concubine smiled and said, "I am here to welcome the canonization by the order of the emperor. Please come and canonize me."

Feng Qingyan nodded and set out on the path of divine light.

The literati who followed behind were also invited by Fei Bai to take the Divine Light Road and head to the legendary Dongshan Divine Realm.

These scholars were flattered and seemed to have never expected that they would have the honor of entering the Dongshan Divine Realm.

On the way, the literati were filled with admiration.

Qing Mang also sighed.

When it was still farming in the royal city, how unattainable was Dongjun? It was so different from Dongjun that it was impossible for them to be together...

but now.

I am fortunate enough to become a guest of Dongjun.

The Dongshan Divine Palace did not treat the ox as an animal just because it was a green ox pulling a cart, but treated it with courtesy.

Along the way, there are brilliant divine lights and all kinds of mythical birds and beasts to greet you, making you feel like you are in a mythical world.

Many young scholars were very excited. They looked around, lowered their heads and whispered to each other, talking about the various legends of the Dongshan Divine Realm.

"Rumor has it that Dongshan Divine Realm is a peaceful and happy land where everyone has enough food and clothing and lives a worry-free life..."

A scholar sighed, with a look of longing on his face.

"That may not be the case?"

Some scholars doubted it.

After all, the world ruled by the philosophers could not ensure that everyone had enough food and clothing and lived a worry-free life. How could Dongjun do it?

After a while.

Feng Qingyan was led by Fei Bai into the Dongshan Divine Realm.

However, the Dongshan Divine Realm surprised him a little. He originally thought it was a dark world opened up by Dongjun. However, it did not look like a dark world. He could not feel any dark energy or any cold breath.

Dongshan Divine Realm.

It's like a divine realm in heaven.

There is a gorgeous aura in the air, beautiful divine birds singing in the sky, colorful divine chickens foraging in the grass, countless exotic flowers blooming, and divine trees that have become spirits exhaling...

There were bursts of divine music and rosy clouds rising into the sky.
