"Throughout my life, the lingering voices of ghosts and gods have always been lingering in my ears, causing me to suffer. I don't understand why only I can hear that voice. I once discussed it with my teacher, but
Even the teacher can't give me the answer."
"Because I still can't let go, I deliberately erected a stone monument here and left this special area. I only hope that in the future, destined people will enter this place and solve my lifelong confusion. I am also willing to give generous gifts to them."
"please."
After finally saying those few words, it was like a wisp of breeze drifting by, and the lingering ghostly aura and the ghost saint's figure dissipated together. However, the surroundings were quiet and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
"So senior is here just to understand the mystery of ghosts and gods?"
Chen Shaojun turned his head and looked at the young man in white beside him.
"Yes, not entirely."
The young man in white said calmly:
"I came into contact with this stone tablet a long time ago, but it is not easy to understand the mystery of the sages. Up to now, my entry here is more of a habit."
"Habit?"
Chen Shaojun looked confused, but the young man in white just smiled and seemed unwilling to talk more.
"If you are interested, you can stay and learn more. Even if you cannot solve the mystery of ghosts and gods, you should still gain something."
The young man in white said.
"What about senior?"
Chen Shaojun asked.
"I said, this is just a habit for me. I should stay for a while and then leave."
The young man in white said.
Chen Shaojun was silent for a moment, looked down, and then handed over the Analects of Ghost Saints in his hand:
"Senior, I return this book of The Analects of Ghost Saint to you. Thank you very much."
"Oh? This is a rare authentic work from the lineage of Confucianism and Taoism. I don't know how many Confucian scholars, great Confucianists, and masters flock to it and regard it as a treasure. Don't you really want to see more of it?"
The young man in white said.
"No need, the reason why the Analects of the Ghost Sage is precious lies in the essence of the sages in it, not in the material and the authenticity. I have already understood the essence of the Analects of the Ghost Sage in the book, so naturally this Analects is no longer important to me.
"
Chen Shaojun said seriously.
"oh."
The young man in white glanced deeply at Chen Shaojun, with a trace of surprise in his eyes. In Chen Shaojun, he felt that there were too many things that were different from the others:
"interesting."
After just saying this, the young man in white stopped insisting and took the book of Ghost Saint Analects from Chen Shaojun.
There was silence on the top of the mountain. The young man in white took the Analects of the Ghost Saint, and with one movement of his body, he flew across the void like a flying rainbow and returned to the bonfire on the top of another mountain. Chen Shaojun stayed by the stone tablet and looked at this
The stone tablet showed an expression of deep thinking.
"The way of heaven is in decline, the way of earth becomes full, the ghosts and gods are causing harm, and the way of humanity is full of evil."
Chen Shaojun murmured to himself, and his eyes fell on the line of inscriptions again. This was the only reference clue left by the Ghost Saint so far.
But according to the memory of the Ghost Saint, not even the Dacheng Saint Kong Sheng, the Great Master, could decipher his "mystery of ghosts and gods", let alone others.
Can the so-called "mystery of ghosts and gods" really be solved?
Chen Shaojun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but his personality was not the kind of person to give up easily. At least he would never give up until he really tried and failed.
"The last page!"
Chen Shaojun was filled with emotion.
This ghost sage is only short of the last page of the Analects of Confucius, and he can change both quantitatively and qualitatively, breaking through to the realm of Confucianism. This is not a simple increase in literary quality.
If it goes well, his mental power can increase exponentially.
In fact, the reason why ghosts, evil spirits, and evil spirits are afraid of Confucianism and Taoism is actually because they are afraid of the great Confucians, because the spiritual power of the great Confucians is too strong.
Even the most powerful men in many evil ways, demonic ways, and monster clans may not be as strong as the Great Confucian in mental strength. There is a huge gap between the two sides.
Under the restraint of good and evil, Kong has tyrannical power, but he cannot exert it.
The reason why Confucianism and Taoism are known as the strongest spiritual cultivation methods in the world is for this reason.
It would be fine at other times, but now when Shura ghosts are blooming and various forces are intricately gathered here, if they can break through to the realm of Confucianism, it will be of great help to Chen Shaojun's strength improvement.
At the same time, this can also help Chen Shaojun obtain the Shura Ghost Flower with greater confidence.
"No matter what, we must find a way to get this last page!"
Chen Shaojun said secretly.
There are many classics and references in the world that can enhance one's literary spirit, but there are only a few ancient references that can help one rise from the realm of Confucianism to the realm of Confucianism and cross the threshold of Confucianism and Taoism.
If you miss this time, it will be even more difficult for Chen Shaojun to find this kind of books or practice, and it will take at least several years of hard work.
"But, what does it mean, and what is the sound that the ghost saint heard?"
Chen Shaojun murmured to himself, falling into distress again.
He has never understood the intention of the Ghost Saint. Moreover, if it is just to understand the mystery of ghosts and gods, there should be no need to tear out the last page of the Ghost Saint's "The Analects" and put it in the ghost monument.
"Boy, you can't guess the mystery or anything like that, but if you only want the last page, it's not that simple. Didn't he say that the last page is in the stone tablet? We can just destroy the stone tablet and take it out."
At this moment, Xiaowo, who had been hiding nearby, suddenly spoke with a proud look on his face.
"It's not that easy. This is something left by the sage. It's really that easy. That senior has done this a long time ago. Moreover, if you think about the forbidden air wall here, if you really want to do this, I'm afraid you won't get the pages of the book. By the time we arrive, we have already triggered the ban on the stone monument and were directly shocked to death."
Chen Shaojun rolled his eyes angrily.
Confucian and Taoist sages are legendary existences, more powerful than immortals. It is simply impossible to destroy the ghost monument and obtain it by force.
"Funny little thing."
At this moment, the voice of the young man in white suddenly came from the distant hilltop. Hearing this, Xiaowo shivered and immediately became silent.
It has always been invisible, but it seems that the young man in white has obviously noticed its existence, but fortunately the young man in white does not pay too much attention to it.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. I have investigated carefully and read many books related to Ghost Saints. According to the last information I found, after Ghost Saints bid farewell to Confucius and returned from the human world, except for this Ghost Saint The Analects of Confucius also brought back something very special."
The voice of the young man in white came from far away.
"Did you bring something else?"
Chen Shaojun frowned, with a hint of questioning in his voice.
"I don't know the specifics. All the ancient books are very secretive about the things he brought back. I have carefully investigated this place, and there is nothing except the Analects of Ghosts and Gods and the ghost tablets. In addition, the things he found should be given to Ji Zi I have read it with his teacher Confucius. As for what it is, you can only rely on yourself to discover it - but don't hold too much hope."
After the young man in white said this, he became silent again.
It was quiet all around, Chen Shaojun lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Something that can bring the Ghost Saint from the human world to the realm of the ghost clan must be of extraordinary significance to him. Considering that one of them is the Analects of the Ghost Saint, the other one must also be of extraordinary significance.
But what exactly is it?
Time passed slowly. I don’t know how long it took. Chen Shaojun raised his head and focused his eyes on the ghost monument in front of him again.
"It seems we can only start from here."
Chen Shaojun pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and pressed his palm on the ghost monument again. Boom, a burst of ghost energy erupted, and the next moment, the same scene happened again.
Only this time, Chen Shaojun looked particularly carefully.
"Only the Ghost Saint can hear that voice. If we want to solve the mystery of the Ghost Saint, we can only start from his memory."
Chen Shaojun said secretly.
Over and over again, Chen Shaojun watched the ghost saint's memory carefully, and when it was all over, he stepped forward to trigger it again. In the end, Chen Shaojun was familiar with the ghost saint's aura, but still didn't find any clues.
"Forget it, kid, this is an eternal puzzle. Not even his teacher Kong Sheng can solve it, let alone us. In my opinion, that kid has no good intentions at all and is just taking advantage of you."
Xiaowo watched it over and over with Chen Shaojun, and finally got tired of it. As he talked, he pursed his lips towards another hilltop.
"No, I must try again."
Chen Shaojun shook his head and refused without hesitation.
His current literary skills are just a hair away from reaching the level of a great scholar. It is not easy to let him give up at this time.
"No, no."
While he was talking, Chen Shaojun suddenly felt a slight tremor all over his body and said something incomprehensible.
"What's wrong? Boy, what are you talking about?"
Xiaowei couldn't help but be stunned.
However, Chen Shaojun didn't seem to hear it. He stepped forward abruptly and pressed his palm on the ghost monument with a bang. Smoke billowed and the ghost saint's memory reappeared again.
"cough!"
The picture shows a morning class. The ghost saint is holding a book and reciting the morning class. There are only a few figures around him. Chen Shaojun has seen this scene countless times and is already very familiar with it.
Chen Shaojun was not surprised by what he saw in front of him. Because he was born a different person and started learning to read and write. Compared with other students of Confucius, Ghost Saint was more diligent. He often got up before dawn and arrived at school earlier than others.
In the past, when Chen Shaojun saw this scene, he would quickly pass by it, but this time it was a little different.
Halfway through reading, Gui Sheng suddenly coughed. He covered his ears with both hands, with a faint look of pain on his face. In the past, Chen Shaojun only thought that Gui Sheng was feeling unwell and didn't pay too much attention to it. But this time,
Chen Shaojun could see clearly that his lips were opening and closing, and he was whispering something.
"What is this sound? Who is speaking?"
Chen Shaojun followed the ghost saint's lip shape and read out what he whispered word for word.
"My feeling is correct. The first time the Ghost Saint heard the voice of ghosts and gods was not in his sleep, but when he was reciting scriptures."
This discovery greatly excited Chen Shaojun, and Xiaowo on the side was also stunned. If it weren't for Chen Shaojun, she really wouldn't have discovered this.
