Chapter 524 523. Honest Man (Two Chapters in One)
Although separated by a layer of illusion of light and shadow, Wu Hailin seemed to be standing in front of Zheng Baiyu.
"It's been a hard work for Beichen these days." Wu Hailin said calmly.
Zheng Baiyu smiled: "Mr. Leyuan's words are serious. Although Zheng has been away from home for a long time, it is rare for him to return home now. He should do something for his hometown and the people of this world. What's more, Mr. Leyuan has been helping you in many ways over the years.
Zheng benefited a lot. "
Wu Hailin, Mr. Leyuan, said: "The common people are causing chaos and righteousness. I am currently incapable of doing anything. But after dealing with the turmoil in the east, I will go to help you immediately."
Zheng Baiyu: "Zheng thanked you sir in advance."
Wu Hailin: "Beichen took the trouble."
After ending the conversation with Zheng Baiyu, the light and shadow scene in front of Wu Hailin disappeared.
Next to him appeared another scholar who looked slightly older, about fifty years old.
Wu Hailin ordered: "There still need to be more people watching over the Abyss of Time."
"Yes, teacher." The middle-aged scribe first promised with a solemn expression, and then asked softly: "What is Zheng Beichen planning? Is it to - - achieve the realm of a holy master?"
Wu Hailin: "It's hard to tell. He has a deep mind and will not reveal his true thoughts easily until the last moment."
Although he did not make a judgment easily, his tone revealed his distrust of Zheng Baiyu.
Most of the other people around me also knew what was going on.
As for Zheng Baiyu, he has changed his bloodline from the Zheng family and entered martial arts from Confucianism. His thoughts are intriguing.
But when the other party was reincarnated and re-cultivated, and he was both a scholar and a martial artist, his level of strength was so extraordinary that it was hard not to care.
Although he was wary, even Wu Hailin admitted that it was possible for the other party's cultivation to reach a higher level.
And Zheng Baiyu is probably planning something famous.
Wu Hailin possesses the Confucian understanding of the universe and the enlightenment of Wenquxingzhao. He is the most observant in relevant details.
Zheng Baiyu obviously knew this, so he kept it secret.
He didn't seem to be worried about Wu Hailin noticing his cover-up, as long as both sides were on good terms.
At present, the dispute between the old Confucianism and the new Confucianism is fierce. With the presence of Yan Aoyun, and the sudden rise of Zhang Wantong, the major families of the old Confucianism can't bother to delve into Zheng Baiyu's thoughts and actions.
Although Wu Hailin suspected that Zheng Baiyu seemed to be guarding the Abyss of Time honestly, he might actually have other intentions.
But he will not point this out in general at present.
For Wu Hailin right now, the primary issue is Yan Aoyun, and-·
After he himself completed the three immortals of Confucian sainthood, how could he take another step forward and achieve the realm of Confucian saint master?
And Yan Aoyun, who was on the other side of the Confucian New School, was also already standing in front of the door.
If it weren't for the existence of each other, and the two of them restraining each other, both he and Yan Aoyun must have closed their doors to study and meditate, and began to attack the final hurdle.
Zheng Baiyu's sudden appearance was not enough to help Wu Hailin share the pressure and check Yan Aoyun, so that he could go to seclusion with confidence.
The changes in the Abyss of Time and the presence of those demonic Buddhas and monks also made the situation more complicated.
Zheng Baiyu had other plans.
When the situation becomes chaotic, Yan Aoyun may take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of it.
Wu Hailin felt a sense of urgency in his heart, but he remained calm and did not do anything impatiently because of this. He only observed Zheng Baiyu and Yan Aoyun attentively.
Pushing the boat along the current, taking advantage of the convenience.
Wu Hailin's eyes were peaceful and his face was downcast.
On the other side, next to the Abyss of Time, Zheng Baiyu also watched quietly as the light and shadow scene belonging to Wu Hailin disappeared after the conversation ended.
He calmly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the Abyss of Time again.
The other party should have been somewhat aware of it.
The confrontation between the new Confucianism and the old Confucianism is becoming increasingly fierce, but Wu Hailin, the top leader, has recently shown some restraint when facing Yan Aoyun.
I think the reason is not only because of the new Confucianism, the extraterrestrial demons, the earthly demons and the like, but also the descendants of the demon Buddha... and him, Zheng Baiyu.
In this way, it really reduces the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
But he, Zheng Baiyu, had already taken half a step forward.
If no one interferes, the half-step advantage will always be there.
At best, we finally reach the finish line a little later.
If Wu Hailin and Yan Aoyun were not in a hurry, he was even less anxious.
But there are still some variables in other aspects.
Zhang Wantong on this side of the Great Thousand World of Confucianism, the people on the other side of the Great Thousand World of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Great Destruction Bodhisattva in the World of Demons and Demons may all bring about unexpected changes.
Jiang Fengge took action as promised.
But it's too early to say whether it will have any effect.
Zheng Baiyu looked at Shi Zhiyuan in front of him, his eyes seemed to have solidified.
Opposite the Abyss of Time, there are nine worlds in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
In the Sanqing Sanbao Cave, Chu Kun directly entered his Jiuhua Kun Yuan Cauldron and studied the Confucian books and sacrificial vessels.
Lei Jun helped Chu Kun guard the Jiuhua Kun Yuan Ding while paying attention to the trends in the world.
The three generations of Yuan Mobai, Chu Kun, and Zhuo Baojie had previously followed clues to find the place where Ge Diluo, the leader of the Karma tribe in the Vajra Realm, and Hanjie Khan, a foreigner, were in charge.
On the other side, Zhang Haipeng, the head of the Kunwu Sect, went in the other direction. After some searching, he finally found a Mochi Sacrifice.
The person in charge of the Mochi Ceremony is Xiao Jing, a Confucian classics cultivator of Zheng'er Ba Jing, a great Confucian who has perfected the Five Classics and a nine-layered balance, and the former leader of the Xiao Clan in Datong and the Xiao Clan in Longwai, Han Dynasty.
When their whereabouts were revealed, Xiao Jing had exactly the same reaction as Ge Diluo and Or Jie.
There was no intention to stick to protecting the ritual or to fight back.
The ritual was reversed and collapsed on the spot, causing huge damage in the original place, and it was used to buy himself the opportunity and time to escape.
The current situation is not a question of whether they work hard or not.
It would be best if they can do it secretly. If they can't, they will decisively seek self-protection.
Even Jiang Fengge acquiesced to this policy.
Zhang Haipeng, who is also in the perfect state of the Ninth Heaven, is powerful and even better than Xiao Jing.
But he is not as fast as Yuan Mobai, and he is also surrounded by the Mahayana Dao scene.
So although Xiao Jing was defeated, he successfully escaped with his heart set on leaving.
In addition to the Mochi ritual, there are many sacrificial rituals arranged by Xiao Jing himself in that wilderness. In addition to trying to cover up his whereabouts, it is to prepare a way out for himself, so that he can escape as soon as possible after the incident.
As a Mahayana high-level Taoist of the Danding Sect, Zhang Haipeng directly flew out his Nascent Soul Yang God and injured Xiao Jing's soul, but Xiao Jing did not entangle much and forced himself to suppress the injury and escape.
After Yuan Mobai and others cleaned up Gedi Luo as soon as possible, they also rushed here, but unfortunately they were a step late.
He asked Zhuo Baojie to help Zhang Haipeng and others suppress the Mochi ritual that was about to explode here, and he continued to chase and encircle Xiao Jing and his party.
Xiao Jing was injured. Even though he had prepared three burrows before considering victory, he was still exposed at this moment.
Without Lei Jun's instructions, everyone surrounded Xiao Jing from all directions, squeezed Xiao Jing's range of activities, and encircled him.
Xiao Jing was in a difficult situation, but he remained calm, carefully identified the situation in all directions, and chose the opportunity to break through.
The cold wind whistled in the vast snowy mountains.
Xiao Jing rode the wind, but his figure seemed to disappear without a trace, completely merging with the wind.
But on the top of a snowy mountain, there stood a Confucian scholar who looked to be about 30 or 40 years old, with a calm and mature demeanor, looking up at the sky.
Facing the biting cold wind between the snowy mountains, he calmly chanted:
"Wu Gorge stirs in the night, Cangjiang River thunders in October."
His tone was calm and gentle, and he was polite.
But with his calm voice, the world was "boomed" with a series of thunderbolts.
The sky was full of thunderclouds, and a long river condensed in the sky and turned into a hanging river, and a large amount of lightning fell from the sky around the hanging river.
For a moment, thunder and lightning fell like a torrential rain, and the hanging river also rushed and fell, mighty and mighty.
The target was directly aimed at Xiao Jing who was hiding in the cold wind!
Xiao Jing immediately felt a chill in her heart.
She had recognized that the scholar was Fang Yue from the Tang Dynasty.
He was once a descendant of the Fang clan in Jingxiang, Tang Dynasty. He was a genius but betrayed the Fang clan and was used by the Tang Emperor.
In addition to the Taoists, the major dynasties were also clearing out the remaining forces of the Neo-Confucian monks, the Karma tribe of the Vajra Realm, and the grassland aliens.
While Yuan Mobai, Zhang Haipeng, Chen Lingfeng, Yue Xiling and others were coming, there were other masters in this world, all of whom were scattered around the periphery, forming a heavy siege.
Xiao Jing had met Fang Yue briefly before in the Han Dynasty and the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Before the other party spoke today, she realized that his cultivation strength was incomparable.
Even though Xiao Jing was in poor physical condition at the moment, she was still a great scholar in the perfect state of the Ninth Heaven. She was hiding in the cold wind but was discovered by the other party. The long river of thunder and lightning was even more accurate.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Jing took a sword in his hand and slashed it in the air.
It took time, and the cold wind in the north seemed to turn into a hot storm without any sign.
The rolling heat wave swept across the mountains and rivers in all directions, and the ice and snow melted in an instant,
as if the wind and sand from the desert outside Long were coming, and at the same time it was so hot that it was suffocating, burning inside, and painful to breathe.
The Hanhai Sword, the heirloom of the Xiao Clan of Datong, had long been lost. It fell into the hands of Master Lei Tianshi during the battle of Datong, but few people in the world knew about it.
The sword in Xiao Jing's hand at this moment was another sword she had newly refined in recent years, named Xiongfeng.
After many twists and turns, it was unknown how many natural materials and treasures were consumed. It was only after entering Lianshan that Jiang Fengge pointed it out that it was completely completed.
At this moment, Xiao Jing had a sword in her hand, and suddenly a hot storm swept over, facing the long river and lightning pouring down from the sky head-on.
The two sides collided, and the hot and majestic sword energy saw that the long river was about to be separated.
After a round of head-on confrontation, Xiao Jing knew that the opponent was a great Confucian who chanted in the fourth level of the Nine Heavens.
In terms of cultivation foundation, the current realm is still inferior to her, but the Confucian Nine Heavens chanting of the great Confucian poems has reached a state of transformation, automatically circulating the opponent's mana and aura to strengthen itself.
Suddenly, the wind and thunder were surging, and the river was surging.
Xiao Jing remained calm and focused.
His fiery and majestic sword energy was still in an advantageous position. While blocking the thunder and lightning and the river above, the sword energy condensed into a storm, trying to cover Fang Yue himself.
Now surrounded by many enemies, Xiao Jing had no intention of slowly learning from Fang Yue. At present, it was shown that he was overwhelmed by his realm.
The fifth level of the Nine Heavens was perfect and he was a great scholar who pacified the world. His literary and artistic aura was vigorous and he was even more refined, eliminating the opportunity for Fang Yue to borrow power.
But after Fang Yue chanted the thunder and the river, he did not stop and continued to chant:
"The rising and falling should borrow power, and the peaches and plums wish to become shade."
He was already a great scholar who pacified the world at the fourth level of the Nine Heavens, and the wonderful thing that the Confucian chanting inherited from the second level of the Nine Heavens was called looking up and down naturally, which could maintain multiple poetic realms at the same time.
At this moment, with Fang Yue's poetry superimposed, Xiao Jing suddenly realized that although her cultivation level was higher, her literary and noble spirit was still being used by Fang Yue.
Taking this opportunity, Fang Yue was not at a disadvantage in the fight against Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing pursued fast against fast.
At Fang Yue's level, Wang Yi, one of the Four Forgets, who was in a state of trance when he was on the third level of the Eighth Heaven, has naturally become proficient in it.
There is no need to think or recite poetry, and it can be triggered naturally.
It's just that he needs to deal with an opponent whose level is higher than his own, so Fang Yue's current use of Confucian magical powers is still precise.
Xiao Jing is currently playing fast because she is considering not giving Fang Yue a similar opportunity.
It's just that Fang Yue has already married Zhuoran at this moment, and he can deal with advances and retreats in a controlled manner, and does not want to force Xiao Jing to stay where he is. However, Xiao Jing is unable to escape because of his ties.
"The treacherous son who worked for the tiger!"
Xiao Jing shouted in a low voice: "You must know that the heavens are moving vigorously, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement!"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Yue's poetic state suddenly seemed to disappear.
The great Confucian who has perfected the classics on the fifth level of the Nine Heavens has achieved the wonders of the "Spring and Autumn Period" and gained the ability to express great meanings. At this moment, it is as if he has re-established the rules and regulations for the surrounding world.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Jing said these words, Fang Yue's poetry was no longer able to use her literary aura.
With the two sides adding and subtracting like this, the gap in strength levels suddenly became apparent again.
But just now Xiao Jing was determined to clear a path with a few sword strikes, but her sword energy was still sluggish. On the other hand, Fang Yue's poetry and literary spirit rose again.
At first, Xiao Jing thought she had made a mistake. The Fang Jiazi opposite was not the fourth level of the Nine Heavens, but the fifth level of the Nine Heavens like her.
Confucianism chants the nine heavens and three levels of one line, which is called transcendence.
The owner of the Poetic Transformation Realm has the ability to transform from reality to virtuality, and the body and soul merge. They are difficult to damage with ordinary tangible weapons. At the same time, they have the possibility of dragging and capturing the opponent's soul into their own Transformation Realm.
The fourth level of the Nine Heavens, the fourth of the five transformations of the world, is called the wandering mind of the motherland.
The master of the realm can move and replace among the multiple poetic realms he has created, making it difficult for the enemy to attack.
Because of this, Xiao Jing was not able to defeat Fang Yue in a short period of time, so she had no intention of entangled with him and only hoped to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible.
What's more, those who have cultivated the spirit wandering in their homeland can retain their own poetic realm for a long time. After their souls are destroyed, although they will lose their physical bodies, their souls are expected to be reborn in the realm.
This is also the only special case in which Confucian practitioners of several lines can feign death and be reborn before becoming a saint.
And chanting the fifth level of the Nine Heavens, the fifth transformation of the world, called the deity Youtong, the poetry transformation realm is further improved. Not only the illusory souls and spiritual bodies, but also the tangible and qualitative entities in the real world can also be introduced into the transformation realm. .
And the wonder obtained from the perfection of the five transformations in the world is called the unity of heaven and earth, and the unity of divine transformation and transformation.
At this point, the poetic environment can in turn interfere with and affect the real world. What happens in the transformed environment may turn false into true and affect the real world, or even replace the real world within a limited range, thereby achieving the ability to level the world.
At this point, the monk's Yihua state can naturally resist the Confucian classics to level the world and the Five Classics to perfect the great Confucian "Spring and Autumn".
But at the moment, Fang Yue is indeed still a great scholar of the chanting lineage at the fourth level of the Nine Heavens, and has not yet completed the five transformations of the world.
It's just that he is a genius, and he has been silently reciting the sentence "After all, how many people have a real deer, but they don't know that they dream of being a fish all day long".
With the continuous accumulation of literary talent and poetic realm, he is now in a state where he can show some of the mystery of the illusory realm that shakes the real world, as if he has understood in advance the power of deification to unite heaven and earth.
Xiao Jing mastered the mystery of "Yi" in the Five Classics and quickly noticed the changes.
At other times, she would have wanted to have a serious fight with Fang Yue, but now she doesn't want to continue to tangle with Fang Yue.
Her soul was injured by Zhang Haipeng before, and now there are signs of further deterioration.
If the fight continues for a long time, if the soul is accidentally absorbed into the opponent's poetry, there will be no chance of escape.
Therefore, Xiao Jing was fighting against the thunder and lightning attack created by Fang Yue's poems at this moment, and was determined to break through first.
The wind and thunder kept surging, helping her block a large number of attacks, but there were still a lot of lightning strikes.
Xiao Jing gritted her teeth and persisted. Although she looked embarrassed, under "Yi"'s prediction, she successfully passed by the mighty river without being involved in it, and then she was about to turn into the wind and fly out.
But at this moment, quietly and without warning, a seemingly undetectable sword light suddenly lit up.
Hit Xiao Jing right in the middle!
Xiao Jing's whole body trembled and she froze in place.
The Xiongfeng Sword in her hand counterattacked and slashed at the opponent.
But the opponent had already sheathed his sword and retreated, easily dodging the blazing sword wind.
At the same time, the opponent also retracted the sword he thrust out.
This withdrawal seemed to pull Xiao Jing's life out of her body.
Xiao Jing's frozen body in mid-air shook and she almost collapsed on the spot.
She turned to look at the person who planned to assassinate her.
An armored woman with a beautiful face, she looked both heroic and beautiful at the same time... But at this moment, Xiao Jing could only remember the hidden and vicious sneak attack from the opponent!
"——Xiao, Xueting!"
Xiao Jing shook her body and almost squeezed out the other person's name through her teeth.
Xiao Xueting held the Mountain and River Sword in his hand, holding it flat against his chest, and said with a righteous air, "I'm offended."
Xiao Jing glared angrily.
The other party's cultivation strength is also really brilliant.
Like her, she cultivates the earth in the fifth level of the Nine Heavens and the Perfect Realm.
The Shanhe Sword in his hand is even more majestic.
Different from her Confucian sword, the opponent's martial arts weapon is the pinnacle martial saint of the lineage, with the body of a human and immortal.
But this immortal is too despicable!
The comparison between ourselves and the enemy has reached this point, why are you still making sneak attacks?
Xiao Jing looked beyond Xiao Xueting and could already see other monks appearing in the distance.
The first person who caught his eye was Xiao Hang, the current leader of the Longwai Xiao Clan, who also came from the Tang Dynasty. He was Xiao Xueting's elder brother.
The sword hanging on his waist was the treasure of the Xiao Clan, the famous sword Haoran, which had a much longer history than Hanhai and Xiongfeng.
"You traitors and rebellious sons, you have recognized the enemy as your father, fighting against each other, and only made your relatives sad and your enemies happy. How can you face your ancestors in the future!" Xiao Jing scolded angrily.
Compared with the calmness she had always maintained when facing Zhang Haipeng, Fang Yue and others, she was finally furious when facing Xiao Xueting and Xiao Hang.
Xiao Hang heard this and shook his head without saying a word.
Xiao Xueting was unmoved: "Please."
After that, her figure completely disappeared from Xiao Jing's sight.
Xiao Jing, who was already dying and holding on by herself, had no time or ability to perceive where the other party would appear next, and her eyes went black.
Life completely left her.
Xiao Jing, a great scholar who had reached the fifth level of perfection in the Ninth Heaven, fell in this snowy mountain.
Xiao Xueting retracted the sword in his hand again and sheathed it.
Zhuo Baojie, who came from behind, saw this and looked at it from a distance, blinking his eyes.
General Xiao of the Tang Dynasty was still a kind man after all---although it was not so easy to convince people with her swordsmanship.
But if it was Master or Master Xu, Master Tang and others, they might temporarily borrow Xiao Hang's Haoran Sword to make up for this last blow...-·
No, if it was Master, they would have used the Haoran Sword for the first sword at the beginning· A certain bear secretly complained.
Although he muttered so in his heart, Zhuo Baojie's men were not slow and immediately stepped forward to help.
Xiao Jing had stayed in Lianshan for many years before.
Expecting to find Lianshan by interrogating her would be too much of an underestimation of Jiang Fengge.
But some clues can still be summarized for use, slowly gathering sand into a tower, and one day quantitative change may lead to qualitative change.
Fang Yue then helped Yuan Mobai and others to continue searching for other targets.
Xiao Xueting and Xiao Hang helped Zhuo Baojie deal with the aftermath of this place. After knowing that Zhuo Baojie was going back to the mountain to deliver relevant things to Lei Jun, they said:
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I have something to ask Master Lei for help."
Zhuo Baojie reported to Lei Jun, and after getting permission, he invited Xiao Xueting and others to go with him and return to the ancestral temple of Longhu Mountain together.
The brothers and sisters mentioned by Xiao Xueting were not only her and Xiao Hang, but also her second brother Xiao Chunhui.
To be precise, it was Xiao Chunhui who wanted to go to the Confucian world through the Abyss of Time.
However, it was not Emperor Tang Zhang Wantong who summoned him, but Xiao Chunhui himself wanted to go.
"Of course, I and my elder sister can help Mr. Xiao, but Mr. Xiao still needs to take some risks." Lei Jun said.
Xiao Chunhui bowed deeply: "Thank you, Master Lei and Master Xu for your kindness."
Zheng Baiyu was on the opposite side of the Abyss of Time, but after Xu Yuanzhen arrived there, she might be able to create some exceptions with her ability.
After she went there, she often tried to figure out the tricks in similar aspects.
If there was any inconvenience, it was the lack of opportunities for experiments.
Xiao Chunhui didn't mind being the guinea pig and accepted it calmly.
On the contrary, Zhuo Baojie privately sent a message to Lei Jun: "Master, this matter--"
Lei Jun: "It looks thrilling, but it's actually not a big deal."
Hearing his master say this, Zhuo Baojie felt a little relieved.
He controlled himself not to look at Xiao Chunhui: "Master, is Mr. Xiao's trip for his own practice?"
Xiao Chunhui's current realm of the fourth level of the eighth heaven is not low, but it depends on who he is compared with.
Xiao Xueting is needless to say.
Their eldest brother Xiao Hang also reached the realm of the ninth heaven and pacified the world in recent years.
As Xiao Chunhui's juniors, Fang Yue and Zhuo Baojie have now reached the ninth level. Meng Shaojie also successfully broke through not long ago and became the second great scholar in history to reach the eighth level after Emperor Tang Zhang Wantong in this world.
In comparison, Xiao Chunhui's cultivation seems slow.
He has always been a special case, which is known to everyone, but it is inevitable that people will regret his talent.
"He has gained a lot and accumulated a lot during the trip to the Ming Dynasty. It is not difficult to take that step, but it is not what he pursues."
Lei Jun led a few people to Wujian, and on the way he sent a message to Zhuo Baojie who came with him to gain more experience:
"The trip to the Confucian world may not be as he wishes, but it is indeed an opportunity. If he achieves something, it will be unique."
Zhuo Baojie: "Even if it is not successful, the previous accumulation will be in line with the mystery of Confucian classics practice, and it can still help Mr. Xiao soar to the sky and make up for the time wasted before?"
Lei Jun said: "If it succeeds, it will be so naturally. If it fails, it is hard to say."
Zhuo Baojie was startled when he heard this, and then looked at Xiao Chunhui.
The thin scholar himself was always safe.
