Chapter 1051 The Three Confucian Schools
“You don’t know something about this.”
Ji Lai shook his head and said: “Twelve cities snare the world’s masters, which is not like a sect that cultivates immortality. The regulations are so strict, as long as you are not a monk in the Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities, even if you have already joined. Other sects, or direct descendants of the cultivation family, can also choose to join in one of the cities."
"That's it."
Liang Yan nodded and remembered again. The "Blue Sea Palace" that Song Ru mentioned before seems to be a force in Wushuang City.
"Actually, I came here this time under the orders of my master, but until now, except for the matter of participating in the selection and assessment, I don't know anything about the remaining tasks." Ji Lai said with some annoyance.
“You don’t even know?” Liang Yan looked strange and asked, “Then why did I send you here?”
“He gave me three tips and asked me to He opened it one by one at the appointed time, and said that he would not allow me to peek in advance."
"."
Liang Yan was speechless for a moment, this Sanchi Shen! It's weirder than expected and just confusing.
After a long while, Liang Yan finally spoke slowly: "Since your master's privacy is involved, it is inconvenient for Liang to ask any more questions. By the way, I remember that you were not with Murong Xuewei? Why didn't she? Come with you?"
"Forget it," Ji Lai sighed softly and said, "Then the Murong family. It seemed that something went wrong in her cultivation, so she had no choice but to open the secret forbidden area in her home. She went into seclusion by herself, and brought a few of her favorite juniors in, and Murong Xuewei was one of them."
Liang Yan felt relieved after hearing this. Others didn't know it, but he knew it very well. Murong Hanqiu suffered the loss of Master Lianxin, and now this so-called "culprit in cultivation" is probably due to his own immortality.
"By the way, Brother Liang, you are here just in time. In a few days, there will be the 'Hundred Flowers Club' in Wushuang City. You can go with me then." Ji Laihu said suddenly.
"Hundred Flowers Club? What is that?"
"The Hundred Flowers Club was founded by the 'True Monarch of Sanhua' in Wushuang City. No matter the cultivation level, elegance is the only thing discussed at the conference. The venue is located at the 'Guhai Peak'. There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and animals on the peak. There is also the extremely rare Immortal Fruit Wine, and all young talents who have been practicing for no more than five hundred years are invited."
Liang Yan couldn't help but frowned as Ji Lai spoke slowly.
Since leaving Nanchui Island, his horizons have gradually broadened. He knows that the human continent is vast and there are as many human monks as crucian carp crossing the river.
These people each have their own personalities, and not all of them are devoted to cultivation. Some of them like literati and elegance, which is not surprising.
But with Liang Yan's character, he would not waste time going to a place like this.
"Sorry, Liang is not interested in this kind of occasion. I'm afraid I will disappoint Brother Ji." Liang Yan shook his head at Ji Lai.
Ji Lai seemed to have expected that he would answer this way. Hearing this, he did not show any signs of frustration. Instead, he smiled and said:
"Brother Liang, don't refuse so early. It seems that you I really don’t know anything about this selection assessment. In fact, the assessment has already started before the selection day.”
“Oh?”
Liang Yan raised his eyebrows. The interest came instantly.
This wasn't the first time he heard this. Not long ago, the man in charge of registration also said similar words.
"What does Fellow Daoist Ji mean by this?"
"Haha! Brother Liang, you don't know something. The selection for Wushuang City is held every five years, and each time there are four rounds of assessments. . Although the content of these assessments is completely determined by the examiners, in every previous assessment, there was a round that required team formation. "
"There is such a thing!" Liang Yan's face changed slightly, and he said curiously: "This is strange, don't our monks rely on their own magical powers to conquer the world? Why should we set such a rule?"
"Brother Liang is wrong."
Ji Lai shook his head and said: "Wushuang City is not like ordinary immortal cultivating sects that are passed down from generation to generation. The city has absorbed many forces and is divided into many factions, including not only Buddhism, Demons, Taoism, and Confucianism, but also miscellaneous sects from other sects. It can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming. Many tasks issued by Wushuang City require team formation To execute, in this case, communication and cooperation between each other are particularly important.”
“That’s it!”
After hearing Ji Lai’s words, Liang Yan immediately responded. After waking up, aren't people like Fang Li and Buwen the obvious examples?
The two of them are inseparable every time they go on a mission. One of them is good at killing magical powers, and the other is proficient in defensive spells. When the two work together, they can defeat enemies several times their own every time.
After all, Wushuang City is also a huge monk organization. The monks in the city exchange for the resources they need by performing tasks. The higher the efficiency, the better.
If you think about it this way, the rule that you need to form a team to pass the assessment seems understandable.
"Hey, I just said that the assessment has already started before the selection day. You need to find the most suitable teammates within this month, and then convince them to form a team Alliance!"
"Are you making an alliance?"
Liang Yan reached out and followed Yi knocked on the stone table in front of him and suddenly asked: "If the ally you are looking for doesn't even pass the previous assessment, then when it comes to teaming up, wouldn't it mean that there are no teammates?"
" Therefore, when looking for teammates to form alliances, the stronger the better!" Ji Lai said leisurely while tasting the wine.
Hearing this, Liang Yan suddenly felt like he was on a pirate ship. He glanced at Ji Lai with a strange look on his face, and then said, "You have told me so much, have you considered me as your ally this time?" ? ”
“That’s not the case”
Ji Lai laughed and said, "Others may not know Brother Liang's abilities, but Ji knows a little bit. You brought it to me this time, so naturally the two of us will form an alliance!" "
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled softly.
Now that he has become Hunyuan and has sword pills in hand, he is confident that even if he meets the monks in the middle stage of Tongxuan in the seven mountains and twelve cities, he will not be without the capital to fight. But against the ordinary monks in the early stage of Tongxuan To practice it is like killing chickens and dogs. These so-called masters of the Golden Core Realm no longer pose a threat to him, so they can use it to build friendship with him and lead him to form a team to pass the test.
Liang Yan's silence was tantamount to acquiescence in the alliance between the two. Ji Lai's face lit up, he drank the wine in the glass, and continued: "But it's not enough just the two of us. I still need to find more help.”
“How much more help is needed? People?”
“It’s more about being more precise than having too many. According to the previous assessment content, team assessments are usually done in groups of three, so we just need one more person!”
“Oh! ? It seems you already have a goal?" Liang Yan asked with interest.
"That's natural!"
Ji Lai chuckled and said: "According to my investigation, there are one hundred and thirteen monks who came to participate in the selection test this time, including you and me. These people are all golden The top masters in the elixir realm are at least in the late stage of the golden elixir. Among them, the most famous and powerful ones are the three major families and the five major casual cultivators. "
"We don't need to think about the monks of the three major families. These people are all direct descendants of the family. Each eye is higher than the top, unwilling to pay attention to us. Loose cultivators."
Liang Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you have set your sights on those casual cultivators." "That's right!" He nodded and said: "I am interested in the one who ranks first among the five major casual cultivators. 'South China Sea Swordsman' Cang Yueming, this person's realm has reached the peak of the golden elixir. He is practicing Confucian swordsmanship. His magical powers are unfathomable. If we can get this person to form an alliance, then those who pass the examination will The odds will be greatly increased!”
"Confucian chivalry? Sword techniques?"
Liang Yan suddenly became interested when he heard this. He has met very few sword cultivators since he started practicing Taoism. Now he actually met a sword cultivator at the peak of the golden elixir. I also want to see the other person’s style.
And when he was at the place where the Ghost Division was sealed, he once heard Fang Liren mention that the city lord of Wushuang City was practicing the Confucian hegemony lineage. Now that he heard about a Confucian chivalrous lineage, he was really curious. .
"Cang Yueming is also a swordsman? What is the Confucian chivalry?" Liang Yan couldn't help but ask.
“Cang Yueming is naturally a sword cultivator.”
Ji Lai shook the folding fan in his hand and said slowly: "Today, Confucianism is divided into three. There are three different systems, namely Fa-Confucianism, Ba-Confucianism and Chivalric-Confucianism."
" Among them, the Confucian lineage has the oldest origins. The exercises they learned were created by the sage masters of the Confucian sect in ancient times. In the prehistoric era, foreign tribes invaded and the human race fought among themselves. , wars raged on the continent. The Supreme Master believed that if he wanted to resist foreigners, he must first control the civil strife. Therefore, he advocated the rule of law in the human race. The rules in the sect were strict and the hierarchy was orderly. Not only did Faru strictly control his disciples, he even wanted to apply the law to the world, which was eventually resisted by other sects. "< br>
When Ji Lai came to this point, he sighed softly and said: "Now that the human race has been pacified and the world is at peace, Confucianism has been passed down for countless thousands of years, but the old-fashioned style has not changed. They call themselves Confucianism. Orthodoxy regards the Kung Fu books passed down by the sage masters as the Bible, while disdainful of the magical powers created by the talents of later generations. All they practice and learn are from ancient times. The Confucian techniques of the early period.”
“That’s it.”
When Liang Yan heard this, he couldn’t help but nodded and said: “It seems that this line of Confucianism has the longest history. They attach so much importance to the skills of the ancient saints that they will not spread them easily, but they don’t know what the remaining tyrants and chivalrous scholars are like.”
Ji Lai lowered his head and took a sip of the fairy brew, and said with a smile:
"The Overlord Confucianism emphasizes that they are the only ones in heaven and earth. They despise etiquette and seek the true self. They do not have the red tape and rules of the Confucianism, and they only act according to their own preferences. Therefore, hegemony Confucianism There are many extreme people, some pray for the lives of the people, and some slaughter the city in anger! It can be said that right and wrong, good and evil, all depend on their thoughts! Most of them cannot stand the Confucian sect that emerged in later generations. He followed the strict laws and finally rebelled against the sect and established his own school. Therefore, the techniques he practiced and learned were all created by the outstanding people of later generations, which was completely different from the lineage of the sage and sect. Fire, Dharma and Confucianism despise the other party's creation, and hegemony and Confucianism are also I am not willing to learn the magical powers of the sage master."
When Liang Yan heard this, his eyes showed a thoughtful look. Although he has been practicing Taoism for nearly a hundred years, he spent most of his time before that. They are all located in Nanchui Island and the closed hell.
Now after listening to Ji Lai's introduction, I suddenly felt that what I knew and learned was very limited. There were still many things that I didn't know about the vast continent of the human race.
"What about the chivalrous scholars?" Liang Yan asked again.
“Xiaru Confucianism is more moderate. They are willing to learn the Confucian skills of ancient times, and are also willing to accept the magical powers created by outstanding people in later generations. They can even learn about arithmetic and heresy. Use everything.”
“These monks tend to be free and casual, act as they please, and like to travel around the world and do chivalry and justice. Most of them are from the same line, with one master leading several apprentices and never establishing a sect.”
"Oh, I Got it!" Liang Yan showed an expression of sudden realization and said with a smile: "Your master Shen Sanchi must be of the Xiaru lineage, right? He is already a monk in the Transformation Realm, but he did not establish a sect, but he led you like this. A young apprentice, this is different from what you just said Are you saying the same thing?”
“My master?” Ji Lai smiled awkwardly: “In our lineage, we are fortune tellers. My master is like this, and so am I. I should not be a Confucian sect. "Three Paths"
Liang Yan shook his head, with an expression like "I believe you have ghosts!" Shen Sanchi was very scheming and could predict things like a god. He had a clear mind and many tricks in planning. The old and the young didn't look like them at all. Simple role.
"So, the last teammate we are looking for this time is the chivalrous Confucian Cang Yueming?" Liang Yan said leisurely after taking a sip of wine.
"Yes, that's why I want to find you to go to the Hundred Flowers Club!"
Ji Lai unfolded the folding fan in his hand, smiled slightly and said: "According to the information I inquired about, Cang Yueming He likes to drink and write poems, so he will never miss a grand event like the Hundred Flowers Festival. In fact, he is not the only one. Most of the monks who come to Wushuang City to participate in the selection assessment will go there. After all, there are still people. There are many people who have not found allies. This Baihua Club is a perfect opportunity for everyone to observe other competitors and choose the most suitable partner."
"So that's it." Liang Yan saw the plan. With a smile on his face, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "It seems that you have already thought of a countermeasure in your mind. You will definitely be able to win over this 'South China Sea Swordsman' by then?"
"Hey, I don't dare to say 'certainly', but the success rate is very high!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and actually took out two bottles of "Tai Qing Hong Yun Pulp" from the storage ring!
“These two bottles are the only ones left in my master’s collection. I stole them all. Cang Yueming’s good wine, I just like it!”
Liang Yan looked at the two bottles of fairy wine on the table, his eyes suddenly jumped, and he almost subconsciously covered his storage ring.
"This Sanchi Shen. Did he commit any evil in his previous life?"
Thanks: Youhe8358 for the reward!
