Chapter Forty-One: The Stone Statue of Confucian Saints Cracks
Chapter 41: The stone statue of Confucian saint is cracked
"You, a disciple of the Holy Academy, are acting strangely. I am a disciple from Yangzhou City who is lucky enough to be selected into the Holy Academy. I am eager to go to Chang'an to enter the Holy Academy without stopping."
"It's a good thing for you that you were personally selected by the saint to be admitted to the Holy Academy. This is something that many Confucian students only ask for. You actually dare to ask for a year's leave, but you have to stay away from the Holy Academy and come to my city of Yangzhou."
As soon as they met, the court master told Li Xingyun's deeds in detail.
It is not difficult to tell from his words that he was very puzzled by what Li Xingyun did.
But at this moment, Li Xingyun was not in the mood to explain these things to him. He looked very serious and said the news he heard from Yang Ming: "Mr. Yuan, I first arrived in Yangzhou today and met a man who was arrested in the market.
A cultivator injured by demons and barbarians."
"Injured by a demon?" After extracting the information in Li Xingyun's words, Yuan Jun was not too surprised.
Because he knows that Confucian methods live up to the mystery of the endless emergence of demons, barbarians, gods and demons in the past. They have been studied a lot in recent years. The other party always has some ability to hide from the temple.
Li Xingyun continued to Dao Lai: "According to the injured person, the monster came in and out of the Leifeng Pagoda in West Lake, and Leifeng Pagoda also made strange movements."
The Court Master was also a little startled when he heard the strange movement in Leifeng Pagoda.
He immediately said to the two of them, "Follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the Academy of Literature. Li Xingyun and Li Hongying looked at each other and felt that this matter seemed a bit difficult, so they followed him into the Academy of Arts.
The three of them walked through the corridor of the literary courtyard and arrived at the top floor of the central temple.
The emperor did not take care of Li Xingyun and the other two, but walked alone to the stone statue of the Confucian saint.
Like a curious baby, Li Hongying was puzzled by his puzzling behavior, so she asked: "Mr. Yuan, what are you doing? Didn't you first send someone to Leifeng Pagoda to find out the specific information?
"
After hearing Li Hongying's question, the court master also inspected the stone statue before returning to the two of them.
Said: "Do you know where West Lake is?"
"Isn't it just a large natural lake? It is blocked by high mountains on the west, south and north sides, and beyond the north and south mountains are the two fertile lands of Yangzhou City and Hangzhou City, and the east side is adjacent to the sea." Li Hongying briefly summarized.
But what Yuanjun obviously wants to say is not this answer.
He added: "The West Lake is also called the West Lake by people in the south of the Yangtze River. It has a pattern of "one mountain, two towers, three islands, three embankments, and five lakes." Leifeng Pagoda is one of them. Every place
Everywhere, the limbs of a demon emperor's body are sealed. What the Leifeng Tower seals is the demon emperor's heart."
"The physical body of the demon race is naturally more powerful than that of the human race. The third-level warriors of the human race have immortal bodies and can regenerate their severed limbs. What's more, the demon emperor suppressed under the West Lake is also a third-level one. Even the Confucian half-saints could only suppress him and slowly destroy him.
And it cannot be killed instantly.”
Li Hongying's big eyes were full of doubts, and he asked: "Isn't there a sub-sage in the Confucian Holy Academy in every era? Since the semi-sage couldn't be killed at that time, why not let the sub-sage take action to kill this half-sage?
How can the Demon King avoid future troubles?"
The Lord of the Academy shook his head and explained: "This involves the secret of Confucian sub-sages, and I don't know why. Since the death of Saint Kong, Confucianism can only have one sub-sage appear in an era, but there can be several semi-sages.
There are always some secrets in it that cannot be known unless you reach a certain level."
"The seal established by the Confucian Semi-Saint is naturally powerful. But over the years, even some of the talents gathered from the Holy Temple have strengthened the seal, which can speed up the destruction of the Demon Emperor."
Li Hongying said: "The sealed Demon Emperor may not be still alive, so there is no need to worry so much?"
"Although that is true, there are always surprises in everything." Yuan Jun paused again and said: "You all said that there are great demons who want to shake the Leifeng Pagoda regardless of being seriously injured. Do you think they will do it in vain?"
Hearing this, Li Xingyun also heard the implication of Yuan Jun's words.
His eyes were slightly calm, and he thought for a long time before asking: "Do you know any way to find out whether the Demon Emperor is still alive?"
"No!" The Court Master answered simply and explained: "The semi-saint seal naturally isolates everything. It cannot be detected by ordinary means."
Li Xingyun was helpless. An existence at the level of the Demon Emperor was only slightly inferior to the Confucian Semi-Saint. Ordinary Confucians might not be able to defeat the Demon Emperor.
He asked again: "What does that big demon want to do near Leifeng Tower?"
"This has something to do with the semi-saint seal." The emperor was also worried. Fortunately, he saw that the stone statue of the Confucian saint was still intact. He relaxed a little and explained to the two of them: "There are seals everywhere by the West Lake.
If it is broken at any point, the power of the seal will be weakened."
"How easy is it for a saint's seal to be broken?" Li Xingyun asked. After seeing some of Yan Sheng's methods, he was extremely optimistic about the Confucian half-sage's methods.
That's not some kind of monster, some big bad monster can damage the foundation with just one blood sacrifice.
The Court Master continued: "The Saint left ten secret realms by the West Lake to trap those creatures who try to break the seal."
"Its name is: Spring Dawn on the Su Causeway, Remaining Snow on the Broken Bridge, Lotuses in the Wind in the Quyuan, Watching Fish in the Flower Harbor, Singing Orioles in the Willow Waves, Sunset on the Thunder Peak, Moon Reflected in the Three Pools, Autumn Moon on the Flat Lake, Clouds on the Twin Peaks, Evening Bell on the Nanping Screen."
"Since the big demon can appear around Leifeng Pagoda and cause Leifeng Pagoda to move strangely, it might be that he broke out of the Leifeng Sunset Secret Realm and came into contact with the sealed place."
"I'm just afraid that those demons and barbarians have some special means to break the seals in various places."
Li Xingyun and Li Xingyun were listening intently when they suddenly heard an extremely rapid and muffled sound of bells.
Boom!!!
After hearing the sound of the bell, the emperor's face changed in shock, and then he moved his eyes to look at the stone statue of the Confucian saint.
Seeing how intense his reaction was, Li Xingyun also followed his gaze and looked at the stone statue of the Confucian sage.
As a result, he found that the stone statue began to crack!
There are cracks in the stone statues of Confucian saints. This is not just a simple stone statue that has been damaged due to age.
"Back then, the half-sage blended the seal with the stone statue of the Confucian saint and used it as a medium to seal the entire West Lake."
"The cracks in the stone statue mean that the seal on the West Lake has really been broken???"
Hearing Yuan Jun's shocked words, Li Xingyun and Li Hongying immediately felt that a crisis was coming.
The big demon will not hesitate to break out of those secret realms and go to the sealed place. Who would believe that they have no confidence and goals?
"After paying such a high price, will the Demon Emperor really survive?"
