This god is really evil

Chapter 60: The Mountain of Books and the Ocean of Learning
"Master Liu wants to see me?" Li Yan was stunned and felt a chill in his heart.

Aole said with a smile:

"Yes, after taking you, the God's Chosen One, under his wing today, Master Liu was delighted and wanted to have a good talk with you, but he had something important to do and couldn't get away."

After a pause, Ao Le lowered his voice and said:

"Besides, Taoist Master Bai Tianzhen is also here. Master Liu can't say many of his personal matters in front of him. The old Taoist master is very jealous."

Li Yan was speechless for a moment.

what is this?
Just with one sentence, I made two old men jealous of me?
Aole continued:

"Thanks to your keen sense, you finally found a useful clue in the muddy water of Weizi Town today, and took down the Yuhua Society's base, killing more than 20 evil cult members. You have made a great contribution, and it is only right that Master Liu wants to see you and give you some encouragement... Master Liu has already sent a message, and it is in the backyard, so go ahead."

Li Yan nodded and walked out through the back door of the main hall of the Fox Fairy Temple. He saw candles lit in a room in the backyard.

It was the room where the Holy Maiden Yuhua met him.

I walked to the door and knocked, saying:

"Master Liu, I am disturbing you."

When I pushed the door open, I saw a man with his back to the door, staring at a painting on the wall in a daze. It was Liu Yunhe.

The painting was an ink painting, with two rough strokes outlining an orchid, and above the orchid was a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

A butterfly breaking out of its cocoon is obviously a small thing that represents hope, but this painting gives people the feeling that after breaking out of its cocoon, the butterfly will dominate the whole world and look down on all living things!

Liu Yunhe said slowly:
"In this Fox Fairy Temple, there is a strong evil power left by the Yuhua Society's sacrifice to the evil god. In this room, there is the evil power of the Guanshen Realm sorcerer. This is indeed a nest of the Yuhua Society, and it is very likely that there are people at the level of Jijiu... Li Yan, you have done a great deed."

As he spoke, Liu Yunhe turned around and looked over with a smile on his face:

"As expected of you, my student!"

Li Yan was shocked. Does this old man have a dog's nose? He can even smell this... But don't smell his scent from the bed...

He waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"I just stumbled upon this by mistake, I dare not take credit for it..."

Liu Yunhe looked at him with a smile and praised:
"You are humble and polite, and you are indifferent to material gain. You are worthy of being my student."

Li Yan smacked his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Is this old man praising him or himself?
Then Liu Yunhe asked:

"Do you know why I came here tonight?"

Li Yan shook his head and said:

"Please let me know, Master Liu."

Liu Yunhe did not answer directly, but asked again:

"You are a resident of Weizi Town. I want to ask you, based on what you have seen, how is the people's livelihood?"

"This..." Li Yan didn't expect Liu Yunhe to suddenly ask this, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

Liu Yunhe laughed and said, "It's okay to tell the truth. In order to tell the truth, I would rather be demoted from the court to a small county by the current emperor. What do you have to be afraid of?"

Li Yan nodded and said:

"People's livelihood...is so difficult. The heavy taxes are too heavy, and there is also a cult running rampant. The people are caught in the middle and it's hard to cope with it...My eldest brother works as a waiter at Fu Ren Tang in the town. In this Weizi Town, his income is already quite high. A few days ago, a donation for worshipping gods was suddenly issued, which almost emptied the family's savings..."

He then told Liu Yunhe in detail about the scene he had seen where tax officials broke into people's homes and forcibly collected donations for worshipping gods, and how many people were even beaten to the point of having their heads broken and bleeding and forced to hang themselves.

"Furthermore, the court's punishment for worshiping evil gods and evil spirits is too severe, which has become a means for some corrupt officials to make up excuses and persecute loyal officials..."

Li Yan then talked about several cases he knew about in Weizi Town. The parties involved were simply reported to have hidden so-called "strange calligraphy and paintings" or even said some incomprehensible "evil words", and their homes were confiscated and they were exiled. Naturally, their own land and property were also seized.

What's worse, there was a fool wandering around the town all day long. One day he had a hysterical attack and said that he had achieved enlightenment. Just these three words were known by the Xuanzhengyuan, who sentenced him and his entire family to be executed. The fool was even tortured to death by slow slicing, and he screamed for most of the day before he died.

After listening to Li Yan's words, Liu Yunhe nodded slightly and said:

"That's right, a tyrannical government is more ferocious than a tiger, and a tyrannical government will destroy every household. That's what it means. Humph, worship the gods and donate, worship the gods and donate. What you worship is the tyrant emperor, and what you donate is the inner treasury!"

Li Yan's eyes widened in surprise and he quickly looked around to make sure that no one else was present.

You, old Deng, are really brave to say that!
You have a background, but I don’t!
Liu Yunhe smiled slightly and said:

"Don't be afraid. Just deny it until your death."

Then he said:
"Last summer, the evil minister Yan Shiren went to Huzhou to supervise the White Lotus case. For the sake of merit, he killed 100,000 people, and there were so many heads rolling. Among them, there were more than 2,000 babies under one year old. It was simply an injustice throughout the ages. Such a great injustice and resentment, on the contrary, created many evil spirits. Hehe, killing another batch of people has become a political achievement." "Huzhou and Huaizhou are close to each other. Qinghe County and Goucheng County of Huzhou are separated by only a ridge of Tuo Mountain. Many of those evil spirits have overflowed into Qinghe County."

"I came to Weizi Town to find evidence of the injustice of the Huzhou extermination case, and to find out the harm of the donations for worshipping the gods and report it to the court. The elimination of the Yuhua Society is just a side job."

The Prime Minister of Great Qi State exterminated the evil spirit in Huzhou!
The demon of the heart!
Li Yan suddenly thought of the inner demon he had devoured before. In the illusion that appeared at that time, thousands of heads rolled down.

I didn't expect it was just a batch.

A total of 100,000 people were actually killed!

And that heart-demon was formed by the resentment of many people entangled together.

He didn't know much about Liu Yunhe originally. He only knew that he had a strong background and was very powerful. At this moment, he couldn't help but respect this old man.

The other party was originally convicted for his words, but now he still wants to wrestle with Prime Minister Yan Shiren. He is really tough.

"Teacher Liu is a righteous man. I admire you!" Li Yan bowed and said, expressing his admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Li Yan believes that it is difficult to use one's body as a torch to light the way forward, so he admires others very much.

At the same time, he suddenly thought that the appearance of Tongxin Demon in Weizi Town might not be accidental, but... to lure out Liu Yunhe! ?
Without waiting for him to think, Liu Yunhe continued:
"What I just said is the same as the purpose of meeting you tonight. It is to ask you about your conscience! To ask you about what is good and what is evil in your heart!"

"You are the chosen one of God. In my Confucianism, you are known as the seed of learning. I will accept you into the Sitianjian. I will not only consider your talent for communicating with the netherworld, but also your character."

"My Confucianism is different from other schools of worshipping gods. Confucianism has no gods, only saints. The spirit of scholars throughout the ages has accumulated into a secret realm between the world and the netherworld, called 'the mountain of books and the sea of ​​learning'. Today, I will take you to the mountain of books and the sea of ​​learning to understand your mind!"

Li Yan understood.

Things were busy during the day, and although Liu Yunhe had tested that he did not have any evil aura and had taken him into the Sitianjian, it was a serious matter after all, so he still had to be careful.

Now Liu Yunhe just wants to let him pass the "mountain of books and sea of ​​learning".

This is understandable. This is the caution that a Confucian and Taoist master should have. Otherwise, Li Yan would have wondered if the Sitianjian was about to fail.

I just don’t know where the “mountain of books and sea of ​​learning” is?
The secret realm between the living world and the netherworld? Why does it sound a bit like the subspace?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Liu Yunhe take out a scroll from his arms and throw it into the air.

When the scroll was unfolded, a towering mountain hidden in the clouds appeared, with a gate at the foot of the mountain and a rolling sea next to it.

Mountains and seas, these are the only two images. They seem simple, but they give people a sense of connecting heaven and earth.

Amidst the surging waves, the sound was not actually the sound of waves, but the sound of reading aloud!

Liu Yunhe smiled slightly, pulled Li Yan and bowed:
"Student Liu Yunhe, begs to enter the mountain of books."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan felt his body lighten and the scene around him suddenly changed. He was already in front of a mountain made entirely of jade plates, bronze tripods, bamboo slips and books!
Clouds float across the sky from time to time. If you look closely, you will find that these clouds are actually made up of densely packed tiny characters.

Before my eyes was a staircase made of stacked books, connecting the sky to the ground and reaching straight into the blue sky.

He looked back and saw that he and Liu Yunhe were still standing there making a bowing gesture. He immediately understood that this was his divine consciousness entering the sea of ​​books and learning. That painting was the entrance to a secret realm!
Confucianism is truly magical.

Liu Yunhe smiled slightly and said:

"The mountain of books and the sea of ​​learning are made up of famous works by great Confucian scholars from all dynasties. At the top of this mountain of books are the relics of the Confucian saints, but no one has ever been able to climb up there... I just don't know if you, a seed of learning, will be treated preferentially."

"The famous works of great scholars throughout the ages all have the effect of examining one's heart. If you can reach the third level in this mountain of books, you have passed the test of examining one's heart."

A famous work by a great scholar? Questioning one's conscience? Li Yan instantly became interested.

I know this! When I read Confucian novels before, there were many people copying poems to show off. Can this be the case in the sea of ​​books? I'll come up with a few sentences to scare Lao Liu, and then get some good stuff for Niu Ma.

Which sentence should I copy? Well, considering his life experience, Lao Liu had a rough life. Gong Zizhen's Ji Hai Miscellaneous Poems, "I advise the God to shake himself up and send down talents in all kinds of ways" seems good. In addition, there is Li Bai's famous "The Hard Road"...

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt his soul shake, and then he saw huge black characters glowing with golden light emerging from his heart and soaring into the sky:
Kyushu is angry with wind and thunder,
Wan Ma Qi is sad.

I persuade God to shake again,
We recruit talents regardless of their background!

This poem directly shattered a cloud of poetry in the sky, making a thunderous roar!

Li Yan stared at the poem in the sky in amazement, his heart stunned.

I haven't even started copying yet, how come it just popped up! ?

The next moment, a golden light surged in his heart again, and powerful big characters appeared one after another:
There are ten thousand cups of gold wine,
The delicacies on the jade plate are worth ten thousand coins.

I can’t eat without stopping the cup and throwing chopsticks.
Drawing the sword and looking around, I feel confused!
