Yanyulou

To the east of Taixue, in a secluded small courtyard.

An old man and a young man talked about the world in the vegetable garden, from the origin of the world to the end of the world, exchanging knowledge of the two worlds.

"Confucian leader, why didn't Li Taibai live a thousand years?"

Li Ziye asked the doubt in his heart, puzzled, "Is it because his cultivation level is not as good as the Confucian leader's?"

"No."

Kong Qiu shook his head and said, "I can live for a thousand years because of the existence of the heavenly book. Do you know why there are only four people's names on the heavenly book that is opened every hundred years for thousands of years?"

"Because you failed the test of the Confucian leader?" Li Ziye asked curiously.

"Yes and no."

Kong Qiu said calmly, "The test of old age is actually the test of the heavenly book. For thousands of years, many people have reached the end, but they can't engrave their names on the heavenly book. Only four managed to inscribe their names."

"Tianshu has its own will?" Li Ziye asked in surprise.

"Have."

Kong Qiu nodded and said, "Engraving a name in the Heavenly Book is essentially the process of recognizing the owner of the Heavenly Book. If you don't get the recognition from the Heavenly Book, no matter how strong you are, you won't be able to engrave your name on it."

"The heavenly book recognizes the Lord?"

Li Ziye was even more surprised, and said, "That's not right, there are four people's names in the heavenly book, doesn't it mean that when a treasure recognizes its owner, it will only recognize one?

"Tianshu, it's a little different."

Kong Qiu patiently explained, "The Book of Heaven is the incarnation of the rules of this world, and it is inclusive of everything. Therefore, it will not only recognize one person, but there are also priorities."

Speaking of this, Kong Qiu paused slightly, and continued, "For example, the old man's name ranks first in the Heavenly Book, and he has held the Heavenly Book for the longest time. In fact, he is the true owner of the Heavenly Book. To a certain extent , the Confucian head is the heavenly book, and the heavenly book is also the Confucian head, which is why the old man can live for a thousand years."

"What about the other people who have been recognized by the Heavenly Book?" Li Ziye asked puzzled.

"Everyone gets something."

Kong Qiu replied, "Mrs. Li is an idiot about swords, so with the help of the power of heavenly scriptures, she realized the Flying Immortal Jue. Fu Jinglun is obsessed with Taoism, so once you step into the five realms, as for you, oh, you know it best."

Hearing this, Li Ziye touched his nose in embarrassment, he was the worst.

"Actually, you don't have to be disappointed. The Book of Heaven will never misread someone. Perhaps, you have gained the same as anyone else, but you still can't see it yet." Kong Qiu said with a smile.

"Hopefully."

Li Ziye muttered something, he himself didn't believe it.

"Speaking of the Heavenly Book, there is one more thing I have to tell you."

Kong Qiu looked at the young man in front of him, and said seriously, "Now, Li Taibai has passed away among the four people in the heavenly book, and Fu Jinglun's name is actually ranked second. If he dies, he will automatically become the master of the heavenly book. Therefore, Your task is not only to prevent the arrival of the polar night and winter, but also to find a way to prevent Fu Jinglun from obtaining the heavenly book."

"No, no, no!"

Li Ziye quickly shook his head and said, "He ranks ahead of me, and his cultivation level is so much higher than mine, how can I stop him? Besides, you have lived for more than 1000 years, Confucian leader, so it's not a problem to live for hundreds of years, no There will be a day."

"It's destiny, you can't escape."

Kong Qiu said seriously, "Besides, you have already left your name on the Book of Heaven. Once you die, you and Fu Jinglun will be the only ones who may become the master of the Book of Heaven. At that time, even if you don't fight, Fu Jinglun will not tolerate you."

"Fuck."

Li Ziye's expression was shocked when he heard the words, and he said, "Why didn't the Confucian chief say it earlier, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come."

No matter how hard you think about it, it's not worth it to only break through one vein after exhausting all kinds of hardships, without improving your cultivation much, and to be targeted by the master of the Temple of Heaven!

"You boy."

Kong Qiu showed a helpless look on his face, and said, "Having the opportunity to become the master of the Heavenly Book is an opportunity that many people dream of, but they are still unwilling."

"The main reason is that I can't beat that Fu Jinglun." Li Ziye smiled wryly.

"It's not for you to fight that scholar right now, the old man won't die so soon, it's just for you to be mentally prepared in advance." Kong Qiu said.

"Confucian chief, to say something disrespectful, you old man is going to be like bastard, boy, I may not be able to survive your old man. You think too far about these things." Li Ziye said.

"Ah."

Kong Qiu chuckled, and didn't take offense, and said, "When you're old, the world will still belong to you young people from now on. What I can do is to make a peaceful transition as much as possible when this day comes."

"Who can tell what will happen in the future?"

Li Ziye grinned and said, "I hope your old man will live to be a hundred years old. No, he will live to be thousands of years old. This burden is too heavy. You should continue to carry it."

"You."

Kong Qiu shook his head helplessly, and said, "Forget it, this old man will stick to it for a few more days, and wait for your kid to grow up, so that you don't have to blame me, this old man, behind your back."

"how is this possible."

Li Ziye immediately denied it, "Boy, the one I respect the most is you, the Confucian leader."

Speaking of this, Li Ziye seemed to think of something, took out a tattered book from his arms, opened it, handed it to the old man in front of him, and said, "Confucian chief, there is one thing I forgot to ask, you know this What is the polar night dew mentioned above?"

Kong Qiu took the torn book and glanced at it, his vicissitudes of eyes flashed a little, and he said, "If the old man's guess is correct, the cold dew of the extreme night should refer to the demon blood."

"Demon blood?"

Li Ziye was surprised when he heard the words, "Are there really demons in this world?"

"Everything has animism. In the world, there are always some existences that the world cannot understand. There is actually no difference between demons and humans in essence, they are just names."

Kong Qiu said, "Before that, the thing you and the prince of the Southwest met in the capital was a demon."

"It turns out that the Confucian chief knows about this."

Li Ziye said in a concentrated voice, "If that thing is really a monster, it will be troublesome, monsters cannibalize people, wouldn't the world be in chaos."

Kong Qiu was silent for a long time, then sighed softly, "Not all monsters can eat people, humans are divided into good and evil, and so are monsters."

"The head of Confucianism thinks so, but the world doesn't think so."

Li Ziye said sternly, "As long as there is one monster eating people, the world's fear of monsters will arise. If there are two monsters eating people, this fear will be infinitely magnified. People who are not of the same race will never be treated equally. This point, Confucian leaders should understand."

Confucius sighed softly when he heard the words, and said, "I understand, but when the polar night and winter come, the demons are destined to come out of the polar night and come to the human world. If they can't live together, the human world will surely flow into rivers of blood."

Li Ziye remained silent. There was no solution to this matter.

Racial differences will cause fear in people's hearts. Even if they are suppressed by force, they can only maintain a temporary peace at most, and it will not last long. It only takes one small thing to spark the conflict again.

Monsters cannibalize people, this is a deep-rooted perception in the hearts of the people, and it cannot be changed.

"Boy of the Li family, you have to find a way to solve this matter." Kong Qiu said.

"do not."

Li Ziye immediately refused when he heard the words, "I can't solve it. This matter is completely unsolvable. Confucian leader, you think highly of me too much. The things that have been explained are becoming more and more difficult to handle."

"If it's easy to handle, I won't hand it over to you."

A smile appeared on Kong Qiu's face, and he said, "I still say the same thing, don't be in a hurry, you have plenty of time to think of a solution."

"Confucian chief, why do I think something is wrong?"

Li Ziye looked at the old man in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "I've been here for half a day, and I've heard that your old man has been giving me homework and not giving me any benefits, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"benefit?"

Kong Qiu stared blankly, then smiled lightly and said, "What benefits do you want?"

"I don't want much, as soon as I enter the five realms."

Li Ziye said with a look of anticipation.

"The old man can't do it."

Kong Qiu shook his head.

"Then help me get through the eight veins."

Li Ziye took a step back and said expectantly.

"You have opened up four meridians in a row, and your body has reached the limit for the time being, and you need to rest for a while, so this request, the old man can't do it now, and the effect of the medicine king is better than the effect of the old man who forcibly breaks the meridians. Many, the Li family has a lot of contacts and money, why settle for the second best." Kong Qiu said truthfully.

"hiss."

Hearing this, Li Ziye was so angry that he couldn't do this or that. He wanted the horse to run, but he didn't want the horse to eat grass.

"but."

Seeing the young man in front of him about to lose his temper, Kong Qiu changed his tone and said with a smile, "If there is anything you like here, you can take it away, and this old man will never stop you."

Li Ziye looked at the old man in front of him with contempt, there is something wrong here, except for a few Chinese cabbages.

Is his Li family short of cabbage?

"Confucian chief, you are really picky." Li Ziye couldn't help but said.

"Haha."

Confucius laughed loudly when he heard this, for thousands of years, only this little guy dared to say that about him.

"Smile fart."

Li Ziye muttered in his heart, but of course he didn't dare to say it.

"How about this, you change your sect, join the Confucian sect, and the old man accepts you as a disciple. In this way, you can walk sideways in this great Shang Dynasty." Kong Qiu suggested with a smile.

"That won't work."

Li Ziye shook his head resolutely, and said, "I only want my fairy master, and with the fairy master covering me, I can still walk sideways."

"Ah."

Kong Qiu chuckled, and said, "Think about it, although the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal is powerful, but after all, there is only one person, and the Confucian School has disciples all over the world, plus the influence of the old man, even Tianyu Palace is inferior One chip."

"Confucian head, you old man, don't fool me."

Li Ziye said helplessly, "You think I'm stupid, Little Red Riding Hood is the big disciple of Confucianism, and in the future at least she can be a master, and even take your old man's position. With the relationship between me and Little Red Riding Hood, whether What's the difference between worshiping Confucianism, why should you bear the infamy of being a follower of power, deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors."

"Worthy of being a member of the Li family, you really understand your calculations."

Kong Qiu smiled and said, "Forget it, if you don't join the Confucian school, the Confucian school will save you a lot of trouble. Let Plum Blossom Sword Immortal worry about your trivial matters in the future. However, this old man has a suggestion for you, don't you Do you have the title of a national scholar? You can come to the Taixue Palace to teach a class and become an honorary teacher of the Taixue Palace. In this way, you don’t have to enter the Confucianism school, but you can also enjoy many resources that only Confucianism disciples have.”

"This can be."

When Li Ziye heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Can I take any class?"

"It's all right."

Confucius said with a smile, "As long as there are students who are willing to listen."

"hey-hey."

Li Ziye heard it, and the smile on his face gradually changed.

This, he likes it very much!
