The old ape of Wan Yao Mansion is still sitting on the top of the mountain, but now there is an old fallen tree beside him.
Different from when I first came to Hongdu, at this moment Chen Daoshu's whole body was filled with divine light, and there was a Chong Ming bird standing on his shoulder.
"Finally here, it turns out to be the Baiyang Sect."
"Is the catastrophe that Mr. Wei is worried about coming?" Chen Daoshu's heart tightened.
"I'm afraid it's coming."
"Didn't Duke Xiaoyao lead the strong men of Wen Mansion to annihilate the Baiyang Sect in the Battle of Ziwu Valley? Only a few hundred years ago did they have the power to attack the Qing capital?" Chen Daoshu felt that this was almost impossible.
"Before the Eight Prefectures, there was an era of ignorance. It was the establishment of the Eight Prefectures that brought order and civilization to Yuling Continent.
But the Baiyang Sect was established before the Eight Prefectures, and was rooted in the ignorant era. It gained strength from the ignorance and hatred of ordinary people, so it was called a cult.
Although they have been annihilated several times by the Eight Prefectures, they can still come back to life, and this counterattack is the most dangerous.
With the restoration of ignorance, all civilization and order will be lost. This is what Wei Changli has always said about the eternal night in the Eight Prefectures." Yuan Yu was also worried.
"Before ignorance is about to come, the strength of the Baiyang Sect will increase infinitely, and all secrets will become impossible to spy on..."
"Master, Tenglong Mansion is also one of the Eight Mansion. Why don't we lead the strong men to Qingdu? I would like to be the pioneer!" Chen Daoshu volunteered.
"Although you have reached the ninth level of Wangxian, you are still far from it.
Moreover, our Tenglong Mansion is a special existence among the Eight Mansions. We live in the northern border and have very little exposure to the world, so we have escaped countless soul-controlling storms.
Although hiding from the world is negative, it is also a sure-fire strategy for the survival of Tenglong Mansion." Yuan Tang directly rejected this suggestion.
"Then will Mr. Wei die?" Chen Daoshu's heart tightened. This was the person he admired and respected the most in his life.
"No, among all the eight palace masters, if there is one person who can survive this catastrophe, I think that person is Wei Changli."
Hearing Yuan Tang say this, Chen Daoshu breathed a sigh of relief.
"When he sent you back to Hongdu, you also became my choice. Because Wei Changli is the guy I admire most in terms of strength, resourcefulness and vision."
"I will practice hard and live up to the trust of Master and Master Wei!"
Wei Changli's battle shocked the world, and almost everyone in the palace master realm was aware of it. The ninth level Wangxian felt trembling at the same time on this day, and the long-lost fear surged into his heart!
The holy land of Xihe is called Liyuan. It is the highest place in Xihe. It is also the place where the first generation of Confucian saints and masters established their homes and practiced cultivation. They collected classics from all over the world and learned about the Tao of Confucianism to create a Confucian mansion.
Ji Li and Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Kang Xingjian, held a large ceremony to thank Jishi, and Kong Kaiping, a doctor of internal medicine, sat together, accompanied by Yan Youqin standing behind them.
An inconspicuous breeze blew by, and before anyone else could react, Ji Li first noticed something was wrong.
"The murderous auras between heaven and earth are gathering in one place," Ji Li said.
Xie Jishi's practice is the unity of heaven and man, and no movement in the world can be hidden from his perception. Xie Jishi wants to see where the murderous aura is flowing and who has such a big hand.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jishi had just used the magic of heaven and man to see a vision suddenly appear in his eyes. There was nothing left between heaven and earth but a knife, a knife used to kill gods and Buddhas and cut off life!
Xie Jishi escaped from the Celestial Being state and spurted blood from his mouth.
"Who is fighting and breaking my heavenly and human skills..."
The other three people were all shocked, and even felt chills on their backs. Xie Jishi was implicated just because he wanted to spy on this battle.
"It should be Wei Changli."
"The art of harmony between man and nature is ordered by heaven. Even Wei Changli can't interfere with it." Xie Jishi didn't believe it.
"When Wei Changli wants to kill someone, he is the king of Yuling Continent!"
Ji Li closed his eyes, and a shadow of the Yang God emerged from his body and followed the murderous aura, traveling thousands of miles away in just one breath.
Just like Zhang Lingsu's Yin Mingjing, when the wandering Ji Li saw the eight heavenly dragon realms, he was also repulsed by a powerful external force, and the Yang God returned to his physical body.
"Master Ji, how's it going?"
"As expected, I'm afraid there's going to be a big problem in Qingdu." Ji Li said in a deep voice.
"Didn't you see what happened?"
"The Eight Heavenly Dragon Realms have sealed off all of Qingdu, and there are still people who are preventing me from wandering around."
"There are not many people in the world who can stop you from wandering in the world. The Eight Heavenly Dragon Realm..." Kong Kaiping thought for a moment. "Is it possible that the Xumi Mansion and the Wen Mansion are fighting? Master Yu Xing personally took action?"
"It should be impossible. In recent years, Wenfu and our Confucian government have fought several times and ended up with no winner. This shows that Wenfu has recovered from the battle of Ziwu Valley.
Although Xumi Mansion is one of the top three mansions, even if all the strong men come out, they should not be able to defeat the Qing capital, not to mention that Master Yu Xing may not dare to fight Wei Changli." Kang Xingjian said.
"No need to guess, it's the Baiyang Sect!"
"It has been recorded on the old stone tablets that the age of ignorance will come again. Could it be that the eternal night in the Eight Prefectures is realized through the Baiyang Sect this time?" Kong Kaiping guessed.
"Master, what kind of technique did Wei Changli use? I've lived for thousands of years. I know a lot about Wenfu, so why have I never heard of it?" Kang Xingjian asked.
"The most mysterious one among the ten stickers in the world, the Snake-Slaying Monument!"
"Snake Killing Monument?"
These people looked at each other and realized that they had never heard of such an inscription.
"This was created by Wei Changli. Everyone in the world knows that he grew up in the Wen Mansion without his parents, but how can anyone in the world be born an orphan?
Wei Changli was born in a remote town in Yunzhou. Although he was poor, he was happy.
It's just that it's adjacent to a barren mountain, and big monsters often come into the city and wreak havoc, leaving the people unbearable and helpless.
When he was four years old, a python attacked the city and killed many people, including Wei Changli's parents.
Wei Changli witnessed his parents being swallowed by giant snakes in order to save him, so he had inner demons since he was a child.
No matter how much the people in the Confucian Mansion hate Xiaoyao Gong, the second generation master of the Wen Mansion, they must admit that he is the most famous master in the Yuling Continent. He has taught three disciples. If Zhuji does not control Qi Cifeng, everything will be destroyed. Lu Daoxuan will also be defeated.
There is a dragon and a phoenix flying together in Wei Changli.
In order to untie Wei Changli's inner demons, Xiaoyao Gong took Wei Changli to every corner of Yunzhou and killed the giant python to vent his hatred.
Wei Changli wrote down his life's murderous aura and hostility with his pen, killing that dark time together with the python. After that, he spent decades polishing the snake-killing stele.
But the murderous intent of the Snake-Slaying Monument is so strong that almost everyone who wants to copy it is hurt by its aura. From the time it was created to the present, no one has been able to successfully comprehend it.
Wei Changli also thought about destroying it, but he couldn't bear it, so he enshrined it in the Seven Pavilions of Wen Mansion for a while."
"Wei Changli will have to fight for his life after restarting this technique that has been sealed for so many years." Ji Li was a little worried.
"Gather the powerful Confucianists to support the Qing capital!"
"Master, no!"
The head of a palace has absolute authority, but as soon as Ji Li said this, Xie Jishi, Kong Kaiping and everyone stood up to express their opposition.
"Because of Jiang Yan's incident, Wenfu has become alienated from all other schools. It has stood on the opposite side of everyone, and it is also against us everywhere."
"Without the Wenfu, we Confucian scholars will be the orthodox scholars in the world!" Kang Xingjian also strongly opposed.
If the Confucian Mansion didn't have such ability, they would have already wanted to get rid of the Wen Mansion. Now that the Baiyang Sect is doing the work for them, it's too late for them to be happy, so how can they possibly support it.
"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold." Ji Li wanted to persuade these people.
"Even if there is a crisis in the future, our Confucian Academy still has a few wandering Ninth Level seniors who can still unite with other schools. It doesn't have to be the Wen Academy." Kong Kaiping also said.
Ji Li wanted to say something else, but these people were resolute, and they also represented the attitude of everyone in the Confucian mansion today.
"Open the screen. The people in Wen Mansion saw with their own eyes that you killed Meng Kuyin. Why did you do that at that time?" Ji Li asked.
"I...Master Ji, people really didn't kill me."
Seeing Ji Li's penetrating eyes, Kong Kaiping felt a little guilty.
"Although Meng Kuyin's strength is slightly inferior to mine, I stopped my attack in time at the last moment and did not want to kill him. However, I lost control of my body for a brief moment.
Meng Kuyin didn't expect that I would really kill him, and it was at this moment that it caused a catastrophe."
"So you didn't do it, and the real culprit is someone else?"
With Kong Kaiping's eighth-level cultivation, there are very few people in the world who can control his body.
"good."
"But you never mentioned to me the matter of being manipulated by your people. You wanted to deliberately provoke a war between the Wen Mansion and the Confucian Mansion.
No matter how Wei Changli put pressure, I chose to protect you because I knew there was something hidden and I have been waiting for you to confess to me."
Ji Li's words were light and indifferent, but they carried great majesty. Kong Kaiping's forehead was dripping with cold sweat and he knelt on the ground.
"Yunlu must be controlled by the Confucian government. This is the only place where we can control the Qing capital, so I bet with my own life to prevent Yunlu from being lost."
"Who else knows about this!"
When Ji Li was angry, the wind and clouds in the sky met, and Li Yuan trembled.
Xie Jishi and Kang Xingjian sighed and knelt on the ground to plead guilty. They were also insiders and even secretly contributed to the flames.
"Okay, you all go down." Ji Li rubbed his forehead.
After retreating from these three people, Ji Li only left Yan Youqin behind and motioned for him to sit next to him.
"Master Ji, I don't think it's appropriate for the three elders to do this," Yan Youqin said.
"If it were Wei Changli and Lei Huaji, the three of them would not be able to escape death even if they were old Confucian scholars and had made great contributions to Xihe!"
"It is Xihe's blessing to have a kind master like you," Yan You Qin said.
"The second-generation Wenfu was once the number one academic institution in the Yuling Continent. These elders of the Confucianism were dominated by the fear of Wenfu for thousands of years.
Xiaoyao Gong has become a mountain that will never be able to climb over their hearts. They will never be able to get out of this shadow in their lives.
And Wei Changli has been with Xiaoyao Gong since he was a child. He not only imitates others but also outdoes others. As long as Wei Changli is alive, they will be in fear. As long as Wei Changli is alive, there will never be harmony between the Confucian and Wen families."
"Master Ji, there is indeed a gap between the two houses because they hold different ideas, but it will not lead to the current situation." Yan You Qin said.
"It may have been a small issue at the beginning, but neither side was willing to compromise.
Just like a small snowball formed on the top of a mountain, it was harmless to humans and animals at first, but rolled down for more than 2,400 years, and finally turned into a huge avalanche that enveloped all scribes and Confucian scholars.
Is Kong Kaiping afraid of death? He has been afraid since he was a child!
But in order for the Confucian government to suppress the Wen government forever, he bet with his own life and refused to return Yunlu.
There are also those Confucian scholars who clearly knew that the war between the two mansions could be avoided, but they did not hesitate to shed blood in order to keep the Confucian mansion prosperous.
In the eyes of the Confucian people, they are heroes, examples of Confucian scholars who are brave and wise.
These people risk their lives for the sake of Confucianism, how do you want me to punish them?"
Ji Li is known as the number one person in the Yuling Continent, and he has the power to reach heaven and earth, but there is nothing he can do.
Yan Youqin also found it difficult. These old Confucian scholars had extremely high prestige in Xihe.
When Da Jiujiu found out that he had enlightened the Lin Sutra, he was even happier than he was. He interpreted the Lin Sutra for him and explained it to him without hesitation. Kong Kaiping, a doctor of internal medicine, often gave him advice;
He tries!
But it happened that the kind elder and kind teacher in his eyes did such a shameful thing.
Ji Li suddenly smiled and whispered.
"No one in the entire Confucian government knows that Wei Changli and I have a very good personal relationship!"
"No, it should be very, very good."
"Didn't you have a battle with Mr. Wei some time ago?"
"No, we drank together and talked about it, but we didn't actually do anything. Those things were just for the outside world to see.
After Wei Changli became the lord of the palace, he gave up the fight for fame at the Ehu Palace and retreated from the confrontation with the Confucian Palace.
Therefore, people in the Qing capital called Wei Changli Wei Ruanruan and a prodigal son, who had ruined all the prestige that Xiaoyao Gong had accumulated during his time.
But they don't know that before we became the masters of the palace, the two of us agreed to resolve the hatred between the two palaces.
Wei Changli suppressed all doubts, took on all the infamy, and took the initiative to give in, but I let him down..."
"I have tried my best, but prejudice is a big mountain, and fear is also a big mountain. These two mountains make both the old and new sects of Confucianism very stubborn.
Only in the end did I realize that no matter who serves as the head of the palace, they cannot change the status quo of the two palaces unless one of them falls completely!"
"After me, you will become the new master of Confucianism.
I am keeping you because I want to tell you that if you are the master of the palace, you should transform the Confucian Palace with your own will instead of being coerced by the current will of the Confucian Palace.
Wei Changli and I both tried hard, but unfortunately failed.
We don’t have enough wisdom, so we can only place our hope on those who come after us.”
Ji Li stood up as he spoke and looked to the north where Wei Changli was. The number one Yuling who had always kept his emotions secret, was a little scared at the moment.
"Old Wei, when you pass this hurdle, I will personally apologize to you..."
