The arrival of a group of Confucian scholars in Beijing not only inspired the country but was also a grand event for Confucianism. Countless Confucian scholars exchanged Confucianism, which enabled Confucian classics to be continuously explained and made known to the world. Countless Confucian students also learned more Confucianism at this Confucian event, and Ming Dynasty
Understand the knowledge of world affairs.
This grand event in Chang'an City is still going on, and Confucian scholars continue to come to the capital.
At this time, by the Jing River outside the capital, Li Chong, dressed in Confucian clothes and with an indifferent expression, was walking along the Jing River casually, thinking about this series of things.
During the period when I was recovering from my injuries, things happened so fast that it was almost unbelievable. The Dragon King of Jinghe was beheaded, the ghost dragon disturbed the capital, and Taizong's soul entered the underworld. All of these things almost disrupted his plan.
Fortunately, I arrived in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be really unpredictable.
But looking at the city of Chang'an, which was full of hot masculinity, and the great Confucian scholars who filled the capital, Li Chong couldn't help but feel relieved. See how Buddhism enters Chang'an and how you preach the Tripitaka Sutra. This time Buddhism is really stealing the chicken and losing the rice.
, which may give them a headache.
When I came to the Jinghe River, I felt sorry for the old Dragon King of Jinghe River and wanted to find out some questions in my heart.
I thought that I had a relationship with this old dragon, but I don't know where the old dragon's soul went after he was beheaded. As for the dragon ghost that harassed Taizong, even if Li Chong killed him, he still wouldn't believe that it was this old dragon from Jinghe.
dragon.
At the beginning, the old dragon reminded himself to be wary of the two great scholars, and his conversations with the two great scholars also revealed that the old dragon had such a great connection with the human race, so how could he suddenly become stupid and go to trouble Taizong?
.
Moreover, the fact that the old dragon was beheaded is also full of endless questions. How could the old dragon be so stupid as to make a bet with a warlock and seek death? Moreover, he was beheaded by a mortal Kisao in his dream. This was a Buddhist conspiracy. The old dragon was beheaded.
There is a Buddhist frame-up, that's for sure, but this ghost cao makes people think deeply! He is the human minister of the current dynasty, Wei Zheng, who has always been known for his uprightness and virility.
It would be strange if there were no problems here!
Li Chong, who couldn't figure it out, didn't bother to pursue it anymore. There were too many secrets in the human race, and he couldn't figure them out in a short while.
On the other hand, Li Chong also wanted to find the old fisherman, hoping to learn something about the journey to the West and some conspiracies of Buddhism from his mouth.
Li Chong had always been very suspicious of the identity of the old fisherman, suspecting that he was a chess piece of Buddhism, or even a certain great master of Buddhism who came in person. Otherwise, how would he have been able to thread the needle and trigger the most critical part of the Journey to the West.
However, I don’t know if the mission is over or if I am just unlucky and have never found this seemingly useless but crucial old fisherman.
After finding no results, Li Chong knew that he could no longer waste time here. He also wanted to find another person. He seemed to be a minor but very important person in Journey to the West.
Tiangang's uncle, Yuan Shoucheng.
Yuan Shoucheng disappeared without a trace after the Dragon King of Jinghe was beheaded. According to later investigations, in order to hide from danger, he had been looking to the east and fleeing to Lu.
In the past, Li Chong always thought that this was compiled indiscriminately later, but now it seems very possible. Lu is an important place for Confucianism, and Confucianism is prevalent. The most important thing is that the Confucius Mansion is located in Lu, where Yan Shenggong sits. Any
A place that even immortals, Buddhas and demons dare not ignore.
It can almost be said to be a restricted area for immortals and Buddhas.
If the objects Yuan Shoucheng was escaping from were some immortals and Buddhas, Lu Di would be the safest place, or it could be said to be the only place.
In this world, predicting the unknown is a patent reserved for saints, but now there is a person who has this patent. Even if he only has a superficial grasp of it, it will be of great help to his future plans, not to mention that this person is also a great scholar who has read many poems and books.
Confucian scholars all have their own arrogance, not to mention a person with talent and learning will have some arrogance.
Therefore, it is better to provide help in the snow than to add icing on the beautiful scenery. At this critical moment, we can take this opportunity to recruit this person.
After making up his mind and determining the direction, Li Chong decided to set off immediately to find Yuan Shoucheng.
"Get out of here, get out of the Dragon Palace!"
"Haha, my little prince, this Dragon Palace is not the place you should stay now, get out of here!"
"Little prince, you should have a lot of Dragon Palace's treasures on you. Take some out and show them to your brothers."
"You are going too far."
"So what? Do you still think you are that superior prince?! Haha."
Just when Li Chong was about to turn around and flee, a burst of noisy sound came from a distance and followed the sound.
Two ferocious-looking fish-headed river monsters were arrogantly mocking and deceiving a mother and son. Seeing the mother and son, Li Chong couldn't help but say, "The world is really small."
This mother and son were the little dragon and her son. In order to get close to the Jinghe Dragon Palace, he saved the life of the little dragon. Unexpectedly, he met the younger one instead of the old one.
Seeing this scene, Li Chong knew without thinking that the Dragon King of Jinghe must have died, and the mother and son of the little dragon lost their support and were bullied by evil slaves.
Li Chong also sympathized with the experience of the little dragon. In Journey to the West, in order to seek support, the mother and son had to seek refuge with the little dragon's uncle and lived a life of dependence. Later, they were regarded as a problem by Buddhism and were arranged to go to the Buddhist scriptures.
On the way, he was beaten with a stick by Sun Xingzhe, and his uncle killed his relatives out of justice.
Throughout Journey to the West, this little dragon is simply a pitiful person that his grandma doesn't care about and his uncle doesn't love him.
Although he knew the tragic experience of this little dragon, Li Chong was not so sympathetic and had no intention of going out into this muddy water. But now that he has encountered it, he didn't mind lending a helping hand to save these deceivers.
The evil slave should be taught a lesson.
His figure flashed and he transformed into the masked Qingxuan Zhenren and came to the little dragon.
Facing the sudden arrival of Li Chong, several evil slaves were shocked. They found that they could not see through the person's cultivation, and their expressions suddenly became a little panicked.
He yelled loudly and inwardly.
"Who are you? Don't meddle in other people's business. The Jinghe Dragon Clan has offended the Dongting Dragon Palace. If you interfere, be careful of the Dongting Dragon Palace's revenge."
"Huh."
Hearing what this evil slave said, Li Chong's expression changed. It turned out that Dongting Dragon Palace was involved in this. No wonder these evil slaves dared to bully their master so blatantly.
At the same time, I also felt a little guilty in my heart. If I hadn't tipped off the news, the mother and son might not have been in such miserable condition.
Seeing that Li Chong had no intention of managing his finances, several people became emboldened and stepped forward to expel Li Chong. Anyway, he had the backing of the Dongting Dragon Palace. This man dared to offend the Dongting Dragon Palace despite being so powerful.
Li Chong glanced coldly at the evil slaves, pointed at them lightly, and shouted coldly.
"Six sticks of light."
With a whooshing sound, six pieces of light suddenly appeared, instantly locking several angry ones.
For a moment, several people looked at Li Chong with horrified expressions, not daring to make any move. The man's eyes were as terrifying as a poisonous snake just now, and the pressure at that moment almost crushed several people's bodies.
At this time, the little dragon also recognized Li Chong's identity.
With a pop, he fell to his knees and kowtowed violently like pounding garlic.
"Please accept me as your disciple and save me and my mother."
Facing this Earth Immortal master who once saved his life, the little dragon knelt down without hesitation and asked to be accepted as his disciple.
In this world of gods and demons, what is most important is a strong master. Having a good master means having a strong backer, good cultivation techniques, and even a certain status.
I have a bad fate, and now I have to rely on others. I can survive it when I am young, but my mother, who enjoys the glory and wealth of an ordinary child, how can she bear such anger.
Now there is a huge opportunity in front of us, how could the little dragon not know how to seize it?
"Please immortal, please help my son!"
Seeing her son kowtow repeatedly, his forehead was broken, and the mother of the little dragon was heartbroken. However, she knew that this was an opportunity for her son. Her son was still young and could not live like this all his life. So she faced
Li Chong slowly reached Wanfu and also asked.
Looking at the little dragon with a serious and determined expression, the little dragon's mother looked full of pleading.
Li Chong couldn't help but feel shocked, but he knew his own affairs well. Almost all of his abilities were those of the God of Death, and the only martial arts he practiced seriously was not suitable for the little dragon.
What's more, he has more important things to do now, so he doesn't have time to teach his disciples. However, facing this resolute and pious little dragon, Li Chong felt a little embarrassed for a while.
Suddenly his expression changed. Li rushed forward to help the little dragon and spoke slowly.
"Little Dragon, before I do that, let me tell you a story. The top of Mount Tai is towering into the clouds and extremely dangerous. Even gods and demons have to spend a lot of effort to climb to the top of Mount Tai, but there is such a thing in this world.
Two kinds of mortal things can reach the top of Mount Tai, do you know which two they are?"
After saying this, Li Chong slowly turned around and raised his head, looking enigmatic.
Just now, Li Chong suddenly remembered a well-known philosophy in the 21st century, that only two kinds of animals can climb the pyramid, and he suddenly became excited and prepared to commit a big deception.
Seeing Li Chong's unpredictable look, Xiao Long was calmed down. It was indeed the style of the immortal family, and then he looked like he was thinking hard about the problem.
After thinking hard for a while, the little dragon could only sigh helplessly.
"Little dragon is ignorant, please ask the immortal for advice."
Looking at the little dragon's appearance, Li Chong said calmly.
"Among the ordinary things, the eagle soars in the nine heavens. Once it spreads its wings, it can easily climb to the top of Mount Tai and look proud of the world. This thing can climb Mount Tai."
After saying this, Li Chong paused and looked at the little dragon solemnly.
At this time, the little dragon knew that the critical moment had come, and his expression condensed, and he listened solemnly to the words of Master Qingxuan.
Li Chong stretched out his hand to grab it in the distance, and at the same time opened his palm and looked at the little dragon.
"Do you know what this is?"
Looking at the animal in Li Chong's hand, the little dragon and the two-foot-tall monk were confused for a moment. Isn't this a snail? The most ordinary creature, not even qualified to become a demon.
How could Master Qingxuan let himself see such an animal?
The puzzled little dragon looked at Li Chong with a puzzled expression.
Seeing the expression on the little dragon's face, Li Chong put the snail down, looked at the little dragon with burning eyes, and said.
"The other animal that climbed Mount Tai is this tiny, pitiful and extremely ordinary snail."
Although the voice was calm, it was full of incredible magic power. The little dragon's mind was suddenly shaken, and he suddenly realized something.
Before the little dragon could think deeply, Li Chong continued.
"This snail has an extremely humble status, but he can persevere through the praise and blame of the world, the wind, frost, rain, snow, lightning and thunder. After experiencing thousands of hardships, he will eventually climb Mount Tai, which even gods and demons have to spend a lot of effort to climb.
top.
And you, little dragon, tell me what you will do and how you will achieve your pinnacle?"
The last sentence of Li Chong's voice was full of determination and perseverance, like morning bells and evening drums, the sound of thunder from heaven and earth, resounding like a small dragon.
For a while, the expression of the little dragon kept changing. Looking at the expression of the little dragon, Li Chong also sighed.
This snail theory was told to the little dragon, so why not to himself.
In front of the gods and demons of heaven and earth, and in front of the aloof saint, I am as humble and ridiculous as that little snail.
What I want to accomplish is not the majestic Mount Tai.
But I will never give up. Even if I face this mountain, I must fight hard and move forward bravely. No matter what lightning, thunder, wind, frost, rain, snow, or criticism, I just need to be brave and diligent, and I will definitely be able to climb up.
The top of Mount Tai is proud of all the mountains in the world.
Li Chong suddenly felt heroic. The numerous tribulations in the world were not just a test for himself. Without the washing of tribulations, without the tempering of fire and blood, how could he climb the peaks of heaven and earth.
"Immortal, I wish to be as fearless as a snail, climbing to the top of Mount Tai and looking down on all the peaks in the world. Please give me your guidance."
While Li Chong was meditating, the little dragon also thought deeply, his expression calm, his eyes full of determination and determination.
"Did you know that in ancient times, all creatures in the world could become dragons, but snakes and dragons had the most genus. They had no bloodline, but they could become true dragons. Do you know why?"
Looking at the little dragon, Li Chong said calmly, with strong determination in his words.
The little dragon looked at Li Chong with sparkling eyes.
"Please tell me clearly from the Immortal."
"Without him, these people are all people of great perseverance. They have experienced endless hardships and have been recognized by heaven and earth before they can achieve the status of true dragons. But now this dragon clan is greedy for ease, abandoning the ancient true dragon method and focusing on the flow of blood, causing the dragon clan to
The strength has declined and it no longer has the power of ancient times.
You, the dragon, belong to the dragon clan. Although you are not talented enough and your blood is not pure, you are not unable to become a dragon. I once saw in the classics that a dragon escaped from its shell and turned into a true dragon of heaven and earth. There are 24 ribs in the shell.
, there is a pearl in each rib, full and full.
This is the reward from heaven and earth. This dragon has experienced the hardships of heaven and earth, resolved thousands of disasters, and finally achieved success.
Little Dragon, are you willing to take this path? If you worship me as your teacher, your achievements may only be limited to earthly immortals. If you follow the path of ancient true dragon cultivation, you may become the supreme true dragon one day and be proud of all the heroes in the world.
"
Looking at the little dragon, Li Chong said calmly.
"The Dragon Lord of Dongting is an ancient dragon clan with pure blood and a strength that surpasses the Taiyi Sanxian Realm. His daughter's intelligence and strength are all top-notch. If you want to take revenge, you may not be able to face the Dragon Palace in the Earth Immortal Realm. So you
We must show greater strength.”
Listening to Li Chong's words, the little dragon's expression kept changing, his eyes flickering on and off.
Seeing the reaction of the little dragon, Li Chong was not in a hurry. He still needed to make a slow decision on this important matter. However, Li Chong believed that the little dragon would not become his disciple. Even if he did, he could use his perseverance to
It is not enough to refuse him, lest you mislead others.
"Son, no matter what decision you make, mother will support you."
Seeing the little dragon's expression constantly changing, its mother comforted her with a kind expression.
Listening to his mother's comfort, the little dragon's expression suddenly calmed down. A real man in this world should fight hard, for his family and for the people he protects, so what if he fights for a while.
The little dragon with a calm expression suddenly knelt down towards Li Chong.
"Thank you, Immortal, for your advice today. If I can become famous all over the world in the future, the little dragon will definitely come to repay sir for your great kindness."
Looking at the expression on the little dragon's face, Li Chong didn't feel any guilt. No matter how he was doing today, the road was chosen by the little dragon himself, not to mention that this road was not a broad road.
Turning around and leaving the Jinghe River, Li rushed towards the east and flew away. Along the way, he saw many demons and evil spirits moving away from Guanzhong. It seemed that this Confucian ceremony had really shocked these demons with harsh lessons.
However, Li Chong didn't have the mind to deal with these monsters. In order to avoid trouble, he released his spiritual pressure along the way. Some monsters stayed away from Li Chong. Even if they met those with similar strength, they would not make enemies for no reason. In general,
Said it was a safe journey.
Soon Li Chong left the Guanzhong area and began to escape with all his strength. On this day, Li Chong was flying at high altitude while looking for traces of Yuan Shoucheng.
When approaching a peach blossom forest, suddenly there was a huge vibration in the peach forest. Countless peach blossoms burst out and attacked in an instant. The speed was incredible. Li Chong, who was flying away, did not check for a moment, and was swept away by the peach blossoms all over the sky.
Countless little monsters swallowed it down.
For a time, the world was full of peach blossoms. There was no way to retreat or escape. Li Chong, who was in the peach blossoms, was suddenly entangled in his limbs by the peach blossoms. Countless peach blossom miasma attacked at the same time and began to invade his body. These peach blossoms quickly drove Li Chong to the ground.
Pulled towards the peach forest.
Seeing the peach blossoms all over the sky, which would be enough for an ordinary immortal to scramble around, Li Chong's expression turned cold. He didn't expect that there were monsters who dared to hit him.
