"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, ask for orders for all people, carry forward the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations."

That day, Jiang Yi made a shocking statement in the court hall.

For more than a month after that, all the scholars in the world gained something from this, but they were in a state of confusion. They vaguely felt that they had realized something, but they still didn't know what it was.

As Dong Chengyang and dozens of other Wenzong masters broke through, this feeling became clearer and clearer, but that was all.

But after the establishment of [Wenzong Mansion], this feeling suddenly became clear, and all the scholars finally knew what they were pursuing so hard.

Establish your mind, ask for orders, and create peace for all eternity!

All the scholars from the four central dynasties felt this and turned their faces to the west to worship.

A spiritual thought suddenly and very clearly appeared in my mind: The Holy Land is in Western Xinjiang!

Not only the Holy Land, but also the seventy-two wise teachers, seventy-three to be exact, who opened the way to Wenzong for scholars all over the world.

At this moment, any accomplished scholar will have a clear understanding in his heart: There are seventy-two wise teachers in the human race who sit in Wenzong Mansion. In addition, there is also a more important figure, Prince Yi Jiang Yi.

, half of all scholars in the world.

The reason why he became a half-master was because Jiang Yi sidestepped Dong Chengyang and others' worship in the court hall at that time, otherwise he would have become a well-deserved saint of Wenzong.

There is a village in the Xiqi Dynasty. This village has made a living by hunting for generations. Every adult man shows his status by the number and strength of the beasts he hunts.

This day was another day of returning from hunting. Almost the whole village, old, young, women and children, stood at the head of the village, waiting for their men to return.

The people standing at the front had a look of contentment on their faces, because the men in their family were the most powerful in the village, and they came back with a full harvest every time.

This also makes their family members proud and consider themselves superior to others.

"Who do you think hunted the most this time?" A woman with a good appearance said standing in the front of a group of people.

"Of course it's the one from your family. He has martial arts skills and a body as strong as a cow. He can catch even a big insect alive with his bare hands."

The woman next to him, who I thought was about the same age, complimented her loudly, her eyes full of envy, but it was soon replaced by a look of expectation.

The opponent's man is indeed strong, but his own man is not weak either. There is no way he will come out on top this time.

Women and children in the entire village were discussing the same thing, and even the children were red-faced and even fighting with bare hands over whose father was the strongest.

Fortunately, the adults were nearby, and with a burst of laughter, curses and slapping of shoe soles, they separated the children in the fight.

Hundreds of women, children and children gathered at the entrance of the entire village, all gathered together in twos and threes. There was only one figure standing in a corner, looking lonely.

Because his body is too weak, his figure looks a little thin, and in the late autumn when the coolness has begun, he looks a little frail.

"Mom, can dad catch the prey this time?"

A six or seven-year-old boy next to him looked expectantly at the mountains hundreds of meters away, with a look of anticipation and fear of the unknown in his eyes.

Before the delicate woman could answer, a strong woman not far away laughed sarcastically: "A bookworm who only holds a book in his hands all day long can catch a rabbit if he can't lift it with his hands or shoulders."

I’m afraid I won’t even be able to hunt them.”

The healthy woman's ridicule caused many women and children around her to laugh, but most of them laughed it off and said nothing more about this matter.

"If you ask me, the World Academy should be abolished. Why should we, the whole village, support his family if he is such a weakling?"

"That's right, they have hands and feet, why should we feed them!"

For a while, several village women were talking about each other. Someone nearby couldn't see it and interrupted: "What you said is unconscionable. Guo Shujiang's family has never asked for any rations from the village in these years."

, since when have I relied on you to support me?"

Several village women led by the healthy woman immediately refused. The leading healthy woman said reluctantly: "But they still don't live on the rations issued by the imperial court. Where did the imperial salary come from? We didn't hand it over...

"

"Besides, don't think that I don't know how much food someone secretly sent them!"

After saying that, he glanced pointedly at an old woman not far away. When the old woman heard this, her expression became a little unnatural.

I also secretly felt pain in my heart: Even if my daughters are married, is it really possible to watch them starve to death?

But after all, you are marrying with a foreign surname, so doing so will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with your daughter-in-law.

In the corner of the village, the slender figure pursed her lips tightly, grabbed her son's small hand with one hand, and stared motionlessly in the direction of the mountain.

She never expected that her husband would return home with a full load. As long as he could return safely, she would be happier than anything else.

In fact, according to her opinion, even if they don't go on this hunting day, the worst thing they can do is live a poorer life for their family, which is better than going deep into the mountains and risking their lives.

However, her husband Guo Huai refused and would follow him into the mountains every hunting day just to feed his young son some meat to replenish his health.

"Look, they're back!"

With a cry, dozens of figures walked out of the mountains, and the children guarding the village entrance immediately swarmed away, thinking they knew it was time to eat meat again.

The group of women standing at the front of the village also looked excited, because it was time for them to show off their men, or in other words, to show off their vision.

"Huh? Why are there so many people?"

Gradually, someone discovered that something was wrong. One or two hundred people had left the entire village, but now there were only a few dozen people walking out of the mountain.

Many women stood on their tiptoes and looked at the mountains behind dozens of figures. It was empty, and no one came out.

"Could it be?"

Many people thought of something, and their faces turned pale, especially those women who had not seen their men, their expressions were frightened and full of despair.

This reminded them of the legend passed down by mouth. It was said that hundreds of years ago, most of the men in the entire village died because of a hunting day when they encountered a vicious beast that had sneaked into a human mansion.

Could it be possible that we encountered some powerful beast again this time?

Including the slender woman standing there alone, her complexion also turned pale, and her body was frail and crumbling, because she did not see her husband.

"Haha, look at these silly girls, they really think this man is dead..."

"Don't worry, everything is fine. You will be out of the mountain soon."

Among the dozens of strong men, a burly man in the shape of an iron tower laughed, glared at the beautiful woman who came forward with a face of joy, and then walked towards the village.

When passing by the frail woman, she nodded friendly and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Huai, don't worry, Mr. Guo is fine." Dozens of men behind her also smiled in a friendly way, and many even brought their bags with them.

A hint of flattery.

Mr. Guo? The delicate woman looked stunned. She often heard the word "Mr." from her husband, but it was always in private. Whenever she said these two words, her husband never forgot to face the big man.

Bow in the direction of the imperial capital.

But why do these villagers suddenly call their husbands sir? What happened?

But she didn't think too much about it, as long as she knew her husband was safe, nothing else mattered.

After questioning by a group of women, they finally got some clues. It seemed that they met a big guy when they entered the mountain this time, a huge and ferocious beast that could feed the entire village.

These dozens of strong men returned to the village to get rope tools in order to transport the huge murderer out of the mountain.

"Is it really a ferocious beast?"

"And it's such a big beast?"

"How is that possible? When did the old men in our village become so powerful?"

"..."

The whole village was talking about it. Although they didn't believe it in the end, their faces were filled with excitement and joy.

Eating and drinking a lot makes people happy, but what makes them happy most is that ferocious beasts are a great tonic. Eating them can strengthen the body and even cure some old diseases.

Some women with clear minds vaguely guessed something from the expressions of dozens of strong men. Although they didn't know why this happened, they still leaned towards the frail women intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, it is essential to praise the boys around the woman.

This sudden enthusiasm made the delicate woman a little uncomfortable, and her words and expressions were subconsciously distant, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the women around her at all.

After a while, a shouting sound came from the mountains hundreds of meters away. The eyes of all the women and children waiting at the entrance of the village lit up. Their men were back, bringing with them a huge and ferocious beast.

From this low, short chant, they could feel the weight of the ferocious beast, which was too big to imagine.

Soon they saw clearly how big the ferocious beast was. It had a body as big as a hill and was carried by more than two hundred men in the village. They trembled every step and shouted chants in unison.

There was only one person walking at the front like a leisurely stroll, and he was also the only one who did not participate in the fierce beast.

"Then... that person is Mr. Guo... Mr. Guo?"

A woman asked cautiously. After receiving affirmative replies from those around her, she said in disbelief: "Why do you feel different?"

It was indeed different, and everyone noticed that the once slightly curved back straightened again, and the whole body became majestic, exuding a special aura, giving people a majestic and upright look.

Especially the delicate woman, whose eyes were filled with tears. It was this temperament that once attracted her, but under the burden of life,

Soon they knew the whole story. It turned out that the village's hunting group really encountered a huge ferocious beast in the mountains. At the critical moment, it was Guo Huai, the bookmaker they had always looked down on, who single-handedly killed the ferocious beast.

The beast killed an entire village of men.

"Bear ladies, what are you doing standing there? You can't go back and heat the hot water!"

A stout man yelled at the stupefied woman, and then shouted at Guo Huai's figure: "Brother-in-law, you go home and rest first, and I'll call you when the food is ready."

Guo Huai did not turn around, but raised his right hand and waved back, and then walked home with his wife and children.

"Dad, they said you killed the big beast with a book?" the boy raised his head and asked.
