That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 126 Mr. Confucianism Chen Gongyu

Until now, Xu Beiyou was still at a loss, because neither Gongsun Zhongmou nor Han Xuan had ever mentioned an old friend named Chen Gongyu to him.And judging from the words of King Pingping, this Confucian scholar named Chen Gongyu is still a great gentleman of Confucianism.

You must know that Mr. Confucianism is not a small name. Since the end of the Great Chu Dynasty, Confucianism has remained in a state of fragmentation. There is no suzerain or head of teaching. In charge of Confucianism.

The number of great gentlemen is variable, sometimes there are seven or eight people, and sometimes there are only two or three. Since Zhang Jiangling, the chief assistant during the reign of Dazheng Shenzong, there has been an unwritten rule that the great gentlemen will nominate them again. There will be a leader whose status is equivalent to that of the head teacher of Taoism, the abbot of Buddhism, and the leader of Xuanjiao, but he has a name and does not have the monstrous authority of a real person.

Now there are eight great gentlemen in the Confucian school, but the position of leader is still vacant. In the final analysis, it is still Wen Wu first and Wu Wu second. Willing to give up easily to others.

At that time, Zhang Jiangling helped the building to collapse, and it turned the tide. It is a well-deserved position. Lan Yu, the old chief assistant of the dynasty, also had the opportunity to be the leader of the Confucian sect, but it is a pity that he is already the owner of the Tianji Pavilion, and he does not have both. The reason for the appointment, the rest of the people can't convince the crowd, so the position of the leader of the Confucian school is still vacant.

Confucianism and Taoism are both among the three religions. Although the current Confucianism is in decline and is far less prestigious than Taoism, but in terms of etiquette, the status of this Confucian master is no higher than that of the peak master of Taoism. point.

It's like being an official in the same dynasty, one is a doctor of the Ministry of Rites in Qingshui Yamen, who has no money and no power, and the other is a magistrate who has three years and one hundred thousand snowflakes in silver. It is said that they are all fourth-rank officials, and there is no difference.

In other words, no matter how bad Mr. Confucianism is, he is still an "official", far from being comparable to a "subordinate" like the Town Demon Palace.

Also dressed as a literati, Chen Gongyu is very different from the fake Confucian scholar King Pingping, it is not an exaggeration to say that the difference is huge, the scholar is more romantic than countless Jiangnan celebrities Chen Gongyu nodded: "Since there is no Discuss, then please forgive Chen for offending."

The next moment, Chen Gongyu just pointed a finger, and there were circles of qi ripples visible to the naked eye in front of King Ping'an, spreading to the surrounding layers, and the one-sleeved mirage that trapped the bull's head just now was instantly shattered.

King Ping'an's face suddenly turned pale, and he took three steps back, his sleeves bulging endlessly.

Chen Gongyu smiled and said: "Regarding my seniority, I am still your senior. Even if I rely on years of hard work, I should be able to grind out a fairyland. You are a member of the Temple of Demon Suppression, but I am in the world of cultivation. It’s a bit thin-skinned, is it true that with the name of a big deacon, you can run wild in this world?”

King Equality's complexion fluctuated, as if hesitating, but in the end he lowered his head and said respectfully: "It's my duty, I'm presumptuous, I hope Mr. Big will forgive me."

Since the establishment of the Town Demon Temple, it has been dedicated to clearing out dissidents from the Taoist sect. In the practice world, it can be called "fearful". Except for Qingchen and a few others, there are very few people who can escape.

Especially in the past few decades when the Daoist sect flourished, how many monks who disobeyed the Daoist sect were directly executed after being named evil spirits by the Temple of Demon Suppression?It can even be said that the rules established by the Taoist sect in the practice world were piled up with the blood of the Temple of Demon Suppression, and few people dare to touch them nowadays.

However, since it is "few people" instead of "no one", it means that there are still a small group of people in the practice world who dare to go beyond the thunder pool. The reason for this is deeply rooted in the imperial court. With the backing of the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor, he is not afraid of Taoism, so the eight Confucian gentlemen are one of that small group of people.

Confucianism doesn't need to give face to Taoism, and Taoism naturally doesn't need to give face to Confucianism. Since they don't give face, then most of the time they have to use their cultivation to speak. It's a pity that King Equality faced Chen Gongyu, who was already in the realm of the earth fairy There was no chance of winning at all, just like Xu Beiyou faced him, a human immortal master.

Chen Gongyu said plainly: "Wei Guo left, thought a lot, the chessboard was chaotic, and finally felt that instead of taking a risk, it would be better to fly a corner by surprise, and make a final break, so as to break the game. Let's go, go back and tell Chen Ye, and ask him to convey this to Qiu Ye, he will understand."

As the chief deacon in the Temple of Demon Suppression, since he has decided to let go, he will never procrastinate. King Equality simply cupped his hands and said, "What Mr. Big said, I will definitely bring it."

After King Equality left with the bull's head and horse face, Chen Gongyu turned around to look at Xu Beiyou, and said with a smile, "Xu Beiyou, do you recognize me?"

Xu Beiyou stabilized his mind, and said slowly: "I have heard about Mr.'s name for a long time, and this is the first time I have seen Mr.'s real face. I wonder what advice you can give me?"

Chen Gongyu flicked his fingers, inputting a soft Qi machine to help him stabilize the injury in his body, and said calmly: "I had an old relationship with Gongsun Zhongmou back then, this time when I came to visit friends in Qizhou, I happened to see you die, so I took the liberty to take action, it's over An old relationship, I hope you don't blame me for unnecessary actions."

Xu Beiyou hurriedly shook his head and said, "How dare you, junior."

Chen Gongyu could naturally see that Xu Beiyou's tone was still somewhat cautious and suspicious, but he didn't take it seriously, and said with a little emotion: "Speaking of my friendship with Brother Gongsun, it can be traced back to Jiazi It was before. At that time, the world was not owned by the Xiao family. At that time, Xiao Lie and Xiao Yu, father and son, were one in the Eastern Capital and the other in the Central Capital. There was such a fate of working together.”

At this time, the disordered qi in Xu Beiyou's body gradually calmed down, he looked at Chen Gongyu, and asked, "However, Master has never mentioned Mr., I don't know what is the reason for this?"

Chen Gongyu seemed to have expected this question from Xu Beiyou long ago, and said frankly: "Brother Gongsun should have mentioned to you the defeat of the grassland army. Lady, in the end Red Lady was defeated and died, and Jianzong had to withdraw from the grassland completely. Brother Gongsun returned to Biyou Island disheartened, and ignored world affairs for about ten years, but I followed the trend, Became an obedient citizen under Xiao Qi's rule. After Brother Gongsun came back into the world, he still ran around in many ways, his willpower is admirable, and I think it was because this matter angered me, so I didn't mention it any more."

Xu Beiyou showed seriousness, he stood up and bowed to Chen Gongyu, and said, "Even so, Xu Beiyou would also like to thank Mr. for saving his life. If Mr. hadn't acted, I'm afraid I would have been taken away by the minions of the Temple of Demon Suppression , and ended up in a situation where life would be worse than death, Xu Beiyou will never forget the great kindness Mr.

Chen Gongyu waved his hand, and said with a sigh: "Your master, Gongsun Zhongmou, who shook the big tree with a mayfly, is admirable and cannot be overestimated. He knows that things cannot be done, but he still does it resolutely. To the Gongsun family, he has no shame, but to Jianzong There is no shame in saying it. It’s just that time is fate, manpower is sometimes poor, as the saying goes, heaven and earth have the same power, and heroes are not free, and if luck is not good, everything can only come to nothing, but in the end, why bother?”

Xu Beiyou sighed softly, and then asked, "Sir, are you talking about the boy?"

Chen Gongyu smiled and said: "I don't want to mention anything, I just want to tell you that if you want to avenge your master, if you want to restore Jianzong, whether it's Jian 36 or Zhu Xian, these are all fake, only you live That's the truth."

Xu Beiyou's face changed, and he bowed respectfully again: "Thank you for your teaching, sir."

Chen Gongyu chuckled and said, "Since Gongsun Zhongmou has pinned his hopes on you, then don't let him down. Since ancient times, most of the ten people on the Tianji list come from the top three sects and the nine schools, and the sword sect ranks the top nine." The head of the flow, every generation of suzerain is bound to be on the list, now that you have inherited the mantle of Jianzong, you must also occupy a place on the list of secrets in the future, I hope I can see it in my lifetime."

Xu Beiyou didn't speak, his eyes were firm and he clenched the hilt of Tianlan's sword.
