When the monster in the stone wall saw Zhao Huaizhong, he happily raised his thick arms.
When Zhao Huaizhong left last time, he was given a lot of Yin Qi, which he absorbed and restored to his physical form.
At this moment, black energy surged around the monster's body, reappearing as it did when Zhao Huaizhong first saw him, with horns growing on his head, and his body in the black energy was as majestic as a mountain, exuding an ancient and ferocious aura.
The entire stone wall that sealed him was filled with black energy.
"Human, tell me if there is anything special going on in the outside world in the next few days.
I have some new thoughts on the ways of all human schools of thought that you discussed with me in the past..."
Zhao Huaizhong ignored him and poured out many of the proceeds from the secret palace of the Yin and Shang Dynasties from the gourd.
The monster's eyes, hidden under the thick black air, emitted a scarlet light: "Are these things from the Palace of Death?"
"Death Palace?" Zhao Huaizhong looked at the stone wall.
"Yes, before this Xiantai Stone Palace fell into the hands of your Qin people, it also fell into the hands of the Yin and Shang royal families.
The things you took out, I saw with my own eyes that the Lord of Yin and Shang also sorted them out in this stone hall."
The monster said: "The Lord of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was unwilling to decay and grow old, so he devoted all his country's efforts to build the Death Palace and entered it himself. He wanted to nourish his body with the energy of the earth's veins, maintain vitality, and avoid death."
"You said that the Secret Palace of Yin and Shang was built by a certain leader of Yin and Shang to extend his life?"
Zhao Huaizhong had asked Xiying before about the cooperation between the Yue Nu Cult and the Qi people to obtain the secret map of the Yin Shang underground palace.
The secret map is in the hands of the Yue Nu Sect Pope, and only half of it is in Daqi.
The two were combined, and many magicians were summoned to jointly deduce it, and finally the location and time of the secret palace's birth were arrived at.
The proceeds from the secret palace of the Yin and Shang dynasties poured out from Zhao Huaizhong include humanoid bronze figurines, chariots, weapons and other weapons, as well as some huge bricks and stones with a gray-black halo.
There are many pictures and texts engraved on the surface of the masonry.
There are black birds, all kinds of exotic beasts, people riding chariots in the sky, there are also scenes such as emperors going on patrol, immortals and demons entering the world, etc.
Zhao Huaizhong judged that these large bricks may be wall bricks of the secret palace of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
"Qi Ren and the Yue Nu Cult entered the secret palace, not even sparing the wall bricks, and brought out so many."
Zhao Huaizhong has examined the results of these secret palaces and found that the font textures engraved on the surface of the wall tiles contain wonderful power fluctuations.
But he didn't plan to study it further.
The cultivation methods on the giant pillars of Xiantai are all-encompassing and are enough for him to learn.
He brought these things to the stone palace, intending to sacrifice them again.
From the Secret Palace of Yin and Shang, he only kept the Kunlun Mirror for his own use.
When he put these things on the ancient altar, in the dim light, the things disappeared one after another, and were all taken away by the ancient altar.
What surprised Zhao Huaizhong was that this time the altar received many sacrifices but did not give back anything.
He waited for a long time, but there was no response from the altar and the giant pillars of Sendai.
This ancient altar suddenly started to act dishonest and refused to give back.
Can’t afford it?
"It is not necessarily a bad thing that the altar accepts sacrifices but does not give them. Next time, more precious items may be dropped." The monster said.
"You are saying that the sacrifices at the ancient altar can sometimes be accumulated.
When it reaches a certain amount, will it give back something better than a single sacrifice?"
"I am sealed here. I have seen a similar situation a long time ago."
The monster said firmly, and then brought up a new topic: "Human, last time we discussed the practice methods of hundreds of human schools, three religions and nine streams, we mentioned the core concepts of Legalism.
How about we discuss the Confucian way of cultivation this time?"
"In recent days, I have had nothing to do and have carefully thought about the types of practice you mentioned.
The so-called Confucianism is obviously the successor of ancient religions. Their idea is to make the people obey the teachings and integrate them with the imperial power to complement each other.
Now that the human race is prosperous, Confucian ideas will surely prosper as well.
If you become a king, you might as well promote Confucianism and make your people obey the teachings, and then use Legalism to formulate rules to facilitate governance. But I look down on these ideas that tame people's minds. They are intelligent beings and should do whatever they want.
Only by moving across the world can we live up to our true intentions."
"So you are locked up in this wall and can never come out again."
While Zhao Huaizhong poured cold water on him, he nodded secretly in his heart.
This monster's knowledge is acceptable.
He has a high self-esteem and often relies on bragging to elevate his status.
"Human, you have now reached the third level of the Holy Realm among the levels set by your human race?"
"Um."
"I have also studied the holy realm in your human system and found that it is still within the scope of the holy way.
Taking the Legalists as an example, they regard the law as sacred, govern the country with the law, and use the law.
By practicing the Legalist system and achieving the holy realm, you will master the power to restrain thoughts and evolve rules, and be proficient in imprisonment and sealing. If Legalism and Confucianism are combined, you can use Confucianism as the enlightenment and Legalism as the means to seek for the future of humanity.
prosperity."
Zhao Huaizhong nodded in agreement.
Not long ago, he had heard that Han Feizi, the great master of Legalism, once taught the Dharma to an old cow who was plowing the land and made him kneel down to listen and respect his Dharma principles.
It can tame livestock and make them perform rituals, which shows the awesomeness of Legalist techniques. It is the real use of law to suppress people, and they will not be able to obey.
“It is the law not to evade ministers when punishing someone who has done something wrong, not to spare an individual in rewarding good deeds, and to enrich a country and strengthen its army.
To establish a destiny for the people, to create peace for all generations, to be benevolent and trustworthy, this is Confucianism." Zhao Huaizhong said slowly.
The monster praised: "Well said, I found that you are really a genius, and you should achieve great achievements."
He added: "I still admire the people who founded your human race's practice system.
They laid a strong foundation for mankind.
The three religions and nine streams of humanity, and the flourishing of hundreds of schools of thought, are all contributing to the development and prosperity of humanity. No wonder humans are in power and dominate the world today.
I feel that the Holy Realm is not the end of your human practice, but the beginning of the next realm."
"How to say?"
"As you said, Confucius, who founded Confucianism, is undoubtedly a saint, but this is only his human realm, and there is still a great way.
You also told me that Taoist Lao Tzu rode a green bull out of the valley, which obviously meant that he had broken through the saint realm and entered a higher level, jumping out of the realm of what ordinary people can understand."
Zhao Huaizhong fell into thinking and did not speak again.
The monster kept chattering: "From what I see, if you want to break through the sixth level of the Saint Realm, you need to compile a biography for the human race, promote humanity, and spread education. Only in this way can you increase your practice, build great virtues, and break through the sixth level of the Saint Realm.
Build up layers of barriers and pursue the ancient saints of the human race."
Zhao Huaizhong hummed.
In recent years, Lu Buwei has spared no effort in compiling Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals.
He has obviously figured out how to break through the threshold of the saint realm, thinking about writing a biography, carrying forward his teachings, and leaving his name through the ages.
Mu Yangjing devoted himself to studying grafting, and his ultimate goal was to make more people have enough food and clothing. The same principle applies.
The purpose is to educate the people and benefit more people.
Zhao Huai centrally thought that by establishing virtue, he might be blessed by the luck of millions of sentient beings and break through the barrier of the holy realm.
Do I have to do this too... Zhao Huaizhong thought silently.
The monster seemed to have guessed what he was thinking: "You are not a normal human being. Your cultivation talent is enough to break down these barriers. You can break through barriers and overcome obstacles with your strength alone."
Zhao Huaizhong curled his lips, turned around and walked out of the hall.
"Are you leaving now?"
"Next time you come, don't forget to bring me more Yin Qi. I will manifest my spiritual body and consume more energy than before.
Also, you promised me to carefully consider and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these human cultivation techniques, and then gave me an origin font for my study, why hasn't it come true?"
Zhao Huaizhong raised his hand and used magic power to write out of thin air, generating an ancient font and sending it into the wall.
As if it had found a treasure, the monster immediately caught the ancient mana and watched it intently.
A year ago, Zhao Huaizhong offered sacrifices to Baoxiang Tiangong, and the ancient altar once gave back an ancient book called the Origin Scroll, which talked about the writing application of a certain ancient font.
The volume introduces that this font is the origin of the power of immortals and demons.
Over the past year, Zhao Huaizhong has been studying day and night and has understood the writing rules of a small number of original scroll fonts.
The ancient characters he wrote on the surface of the bone mirror came from the inheritance of the Origin Volume.
