Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 165: Determined to break through the situation, it’s not that simple

In the sky above Tongling County, two vast and powerful auras, one good and one evil, each extend for hundreds of miles, reflecting each other, and the momentum is shaking the heaven and the earth.

Along the way is the white Confucian righteousness that is as fierce as thick smoke. Wherever it goes, it is as bright as day. There are not only the voices of Confucian classics singing, but also the shadows of the sages preaching. It is shocking and makes people feel sad at the same time. The urge to worship.

And the other is the evil spirit of blood-colored demons that fills the sky. Wherever it goes, there is a sea of ​​blood. There are ghosts and ghosts in the sky, and there are groups of demons dancing around and shadows. There are also several ancient evil demons writhing in the center of the group of demons, like The appearance of being resurrected at any time and bringing disaster to the common people is extremely penetrating.

At the forefront of the two auras, the figures of Ji Yanzhi and Miss Hong could only be vaguely seen. Although their movements could not be clearly seen, it could be deduced from the increasingly violent aura that the battle between the two was approaching white-hot. It was obvious that All have reached their own limits.

And while the two were having such a fierce confrontation, about ten miles above the east city of Tongling County, behind a cloud, three figures with a calm and restrained aura were standing quietly.

Three people, two of whom are old men with white beards and hair, and the last one is a rather bloated bald monk, are standing in different directions.

The old man at the front is thin and dressed in white clothes. His eyebrows seem to have been carefully carved, like two swords thrust into the sky. His face is fierce and his eyes are sharp. He just stands there, like a Bing. The sharp sword makes people dare not look directly at it.

The old man on the left has a relatively burly figure and is wearing a rather noble yellow brocade. His face is upright, and there is a sense of righteousness between his brows. There is obviously a strong sense of disgust in his eyes as he looks at the sea of ​​blood in the sky.

The old monk standing on the far right is wearing a golden cassock and has the most peaceful face. He is looking up at the sky with his hands clasped together, his eyes are quite peaceful.

They all looked at the scene in the sky without saying a word, and the expressions on their faces also changed with the fluctuations in momentum, as if... all three of them could see the fighting situation inside.

"The awe-inspiring righteousness of the Great Confucian Realm, the overcoming of all demons, and the suppression of a fourth-grade Senluo Realm monster are more than enough. Since it has not seen a decline for such a long time, this blood demon is probably not even a fourth-grade Senluo Realm demon!"

It was the old monk who spoke. The burly old man in yellow robes shook his head slightly when he heard this and said: "Not necessarily. Brother Ji is fighting this battle to establish his mind. Maybe he deliberately left his hand to stimulate the potential of the blood demon so that he can understand the way of the sub-sage. That’s it!”

Hearing the word "sub-sage", a flash of light flashed deep in the old monk's eyes. He nodded and said: "It is also possible that freezing three feet is not a day's cold. The great scholar wants to break through the realm and realize the sub-sage." It is even more difficult to reach the sky. It is really impossible to rely on a fourth-grade Senluo realm demon. If we can stimulate the potential of this blood demon, the hope will naturally be greater."

Different from martial arts, Confucianism has its own lineage system, which is divided into Confucian who cultivates the mind, Confucian who understands clearly, Confucian who is honest, Confucian who studies things, Great Confucian who knows, Great Confucian who writes scriptures, Insightful sage, and then the Confucian who is closest to the sages. Confucian and Taoist saint.

Ji Yanzhi is the head of the seven chiefs of Bailu Academy in Yangzhou, and one of the thirteen great Confucians who are famous all over the world. He can be further considered as a Confucian sub-sage, a person who can truly stand on the top of the world. If he beheads an ordinary fourth-grade statue, If a monster from the Senluo Realm can succeed, it is indeed too simple.

"Determined to break through the realm and become a sub-sage. If Brother Ji really succeeds, the strength of the Yangzhou branch will be equal to that of Yanzhou, and the dispute between the Yangzhou and Yanzhou factions will usher in a change. If the strategy of Yangzhou is really the main one, the White Deer Academy will not be the same." Entering the Holy Dynasty of Dayu, when the leader of the righteous path will shift, the situation in the world will begin to change again!"

The burly old man in yellow robe sighed. The old monk's complexion changed slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"It is not so simple to break through the realm and become a sub-sage. Since Master enlightened the Tao and opened up the path of Confucianism and Taoism, in more than 500 years, there have been only nine sub-sages in total. On average, there are no sub-sages every hundred years. When Ji Yanzhi wants to break through the realm and achieve the body of a sub-sage, in my opinion... I'm afraid it won't go so well!"

Suddenly, the old man in white clothes with a sharp face in front suddenly spoke. His voice was as sharp as his appearance. It was obvious that he was just whispering, but it carried an innate sense of oppression. , even just hearing it can make people feel stressed.

The old monk and the burly old man obviously respected the old man in white. When they heard him speak, they looked at each other and were silent for a moment. The burly old man in yellow robe cupped his hands and asked in a respectful tone: " So, Brother Jing... is not optimistic about Brother Ji's determination to break through this time?"

The old man in white did not answer directly, but asked the two of them a question first.

"Do you know what it means to establish one's mind?"

The old monk nodded and said: "I know a thing or two. It is said that the Master opened up the path of Confucianism and Taoism. After studying all things, developing conscience, and creating scriptures, he lamented that there was no way forward, so he left the Haoran Holy Sect and began to travel around the world.

At that time, the Yu Shen Zong was about to unify the eight wastelands, and his name was sung by all the human race.

Master Wei traveled to the thirteen states and saw that demons were rampant and thousands of people still lived in fear. He cursed Shenzong for being militaristic and neglecting the common people. He only knew how to attack and did not know how to farm and study. At that time, his disciples had three thousand teachers, so he told him The news spread all over the world, and it also attracted blame from the Divine Court.

The Divine Court sent heavy troops to capture his disciples everywhere. The Master did not allow his disciples to be found guilty for their words, and took the initiative to go to the Divine Court to plead guilty. It is said that at that time, the Master had already been convicted of the death penalty for slandering the God Emperor, and was about to be executed..."

Before the old monk finished speaking, the burly old man took over his words and began to continue talking. It was obvious that both of them were familiar with the character "Master".

"Sometimes some of the important ministers of the Divine Court spoke, and as long as the Master could retract his words, he would be acquitted. However, on the altar of the Heaven-cutting Altar and under the butcher knife of the Divine Court, the Master had no fear on his face. He stuck to his heart, was not afraid of the Divine Court, and made a living. The people's desire for life.

Such a great wish immediately attracted the mercy of the gods, the rain fell from the sky, the butcher's knife turned into ink, and a large orchid grew on the altar made of steel, and the master was also gifted by the gods. The opening of Bailu Academy in Tianzhou officially established the Confucian orthodoxy! "

After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at the sharp-faced white-haired old man with a hint of doubt in their eyes. The Master's travels around the world were only over a thousand and five hundred years ago. The two of them were almost in their early one thousand years. I personally experienced Master's peak period, but I also know some of these things.

The so-called "establishing one's mind and breaking the mirror" in Confucianism and Taoism is actually similar to those Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who achieved enlightenment in ancient Buddhist books. To put it more simply, it is just eight words: clearly see the original intention and establish great aspirations.

Eight words, easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.

"It's really that simple to see one's true intention and set great aspirations. How come there are only nine sub-sages in the past 500 years.

The cultivation path of a warrior has been developed by predecessors for 3000 years. There is a corresponding process for what cultivation level, what should be done, and how to break through.

But Confucianism is different. How to clearly see one's original intention and how to establish great aspirations are all empty talk, and its difficulty cannot be understood by those who are not involved in it. "

After the old man surnamed Jing said these words, he paused and continued: "The body of the sub-sage is the most pure and righteous body of the family. It is easy for demons to touch its body. It has no wild nature. Seeing its appearance and strength declining, hearing its The voice revealed its true form, and the scolding was not to mention a fourth-grade Senluo Realm monster. Even a third-grade Wanxiang Realm monster had to retreat. With God's blessing, if he could break through so easily, wouldn't it be child's play.

Just the first four words of "seeing one's true intention" are enough to wipe out nearly [-]% of the common people in this world. Living in this world, who can have a clear heart, who can have no selfish desires, and who can truly behave upright all their lives? "

The old man asked three questions in succession. The old monk and the burly old man in yellow robes were silent for a long time.

"Peng has lived for more than a thousand years. Although he really wants to slay demons and restore justice, he dare not say that he has no selfish desires.

"Amitabha, I am a poor monk in the Zen sect. When I see the state of my original mind, I ask myself that I am still far behind. I am really ashamed."

The old man surnamed Jing did not show any surprise. He seemed to have expected the two people's answers. Perhaps out of recognition of their frank attitude, there was a hint of appreciation on his face.

"However, Brother Ji came from the troubled times at the end of the Wuzong period. He followed the master's way of being loyal to the emperor and studied Confucianism and Legalism for more than a thousand years. It is said that even Mencius, the dean of Yangzhou, repeatedly praised him as a sub-sage. He may not be like us. He clearly sees this. Heart, it’s not necessarily impossible, right?”

Hearing the inquiry from the burly old man in yellow robes, the sharp face of the old man surnamed Jing suddenly became meaningful, and he said softly: "Brother Ji, of course, came here with some confidence, but the problem is, this blood demon is considered to be his here The only weakness in the world, whether he can face this weakness is also the key to whether he can become the second saint this time."

"Brother Ji's only weakness, what does that mean?" The old monk showed a puzzled expression.

"You only know that Ji Yanzhi is a member of the late Wuzong family, but you don't know that he is from Zhaoyang County under Tongling County. The birth of this blood demon is directly related to him."

"Please give me some advice from Brother Jing!"

"Ji Yanzhi's real surname is Hong..."

Hearing the surname Hong, the old monk and the old man in yellow robes suddenly looked up at the old man surnamed Jing, with a look of astonishment on their faces. Then they realized that he was not joking, and the expressions on their faces were shocked. , and with a hint of weirdness, it became extremely exciting.

"So, Ji Yanzhi is Hong..."

"Yes, that one did not hesitate to give his own sister to the rebels, delaying time to attract another group of rebels. In the end, under the attack of the two groups of thieves, he saved Zhaoyang, was loyal to Wuzong, was commended by the gods, and was included in the seven Hong Xiufu, the leader of the most loyal ministers, was Ji Yanzhi’s real name!

And this Zhaoyang Blood Demon was born from the resentment of his sister Hong Ling'er, using the ten thousand-year-old locust tree as its body, and gathering the resentment of thousands of living beings. "

Although I already had the answer in my heart, when I heard the old man surnamed Jing confirm it with my own ears, the weird looks on the two people's faces still lasted for a long time. At the same time, looking at Ji Yanzhi in the sky, there was an extremely weird feeling in my heart... …

The old man surnamed Jing did not look at the reactions of the two people. He just raised his head and looked directly at the scene in the sky, with a hint of darkness in his eyes.

"We, the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect, risked going to war with the Rakshasa Holy Sect this time and tore up the alliance between the two states, allowing you to resurrect the Blood Demon and create an opportunity for you to break through. If we can break through the realm in one fell swoop and become the Second Saint, let The academies in Yangzhou and Yanzhou are competing against each other, so the sect master has made the right move.

If it fails, then..."

………………

"Ji Yanzhi, is Hong Xiufu?"

While the three old men were talking in the dark, Master Fanyin's words at the east gate of the county made everyone's expressions change. Hou Yuxiao couldn't even hold back the shock in his heart and exclaimed in a low voice.

"It's so simple to see one's true intention, set great aspirations, and become a saint. Ji Yanzhi has never set foot in Zhaoyang for more than 1000 years, which proves that he still feels guilty for his sister Hong Ling'er. , Blood Demon has become his heartache.

I feel guilty about killing her. If I don't kill her, there is no hope of becoming a saint. What do you think is Ji Yanzhi's chance of breakthrough? "

Master Fanyin looked up at the sky with a sneer on his face, obviously not optimistic about Ji Yanzhi's breakthrough.

The faces of the rest of the people were different. Zen Master Yuankong, who already knew that there was no hope of becoming the leader of Leiyin Temple in Tongling, looked a little ugly.

Whether Ji Yanzhi's breakthrough was successful or not had little to do with him. Even because of the relationship between Confucianism and Buddhism, he also hoped that Ji Yanzhi's breakthrough would fail.

But after all, he no longer sees any benefit in Tongling, and he has lost so many people from Daluo Sect, and at the same time exposed Ding Buhao's hidden secret early, which is also a huge loss to Leiyin Temple, so he naturally feels bad.

Mo Xuzi's complexion was similar to his, a little ugly.

According to the inherent discord between Taoism and Confucianism, he should be the same as Master Fanyin in not wanting Ji Yanzhi to succeed in his breakthrough, but what he considers is not just the petty profit at hand.

Whether loyalty to the emperor or serving the people is more important, the dispute between Bailu Academy in Yangzhou and Yanzhou has become fierce. Currently, Yangzhou is slightly at the disadvantage. If Ji Yanzhi breaks through here, it will mean that the strength of the academies in the two states has reached the same level. , then the internal conflicts in the academy will become more intense...

For the Purple Qing Holy Sect, Ji Yanzhi's successful breakthrough would be more beneficial!

Zhang Yuning and Lian Ningxue both had a look of hope on their faces. They seemed to hope that Ji Yanzhi would make a successful breakthrough.

He could see the expressions of other people, but Hou Yuxiao still couldn't suppress the surprise and doubt in his heart. His mind was now filled with the story that Miss Hong told him before...

"Hong Ling'er of the Nu family, a member of the late Wuzong of the former dynasty, was originally the daughter of Zhanpeng Hong, a respected person in Zhaoyang County. She had been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child. She dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was also familiar with swords, guns and sticks.

Later, when the world was in chaos and the world was in ruins, a rebel army invaded Zhaoyang and persuaded my father to surrender. My father was loyal to Dayu and did not dare to conspire with the rebels. He led the people in the city to resist. The rebels were powerful, so the consequences were unnecessary. explain.

My parents were all killed, and the slave family was also captured by them and used as camp prostitutes in the army. For more than three years, they had no way to seek death. The sky and the earth refused to respond, and the earth and the earth were unresponsive. It was like a hard-working Coptis chinensis. It was really dark..."

What the red girl told him back then was actually true.

This thought flashed through Hou Yuxiao's mind, and he suddenly turned his gaze to Hou Yuduan next to him, his face suddenly darkened...

Old Fifth Hou Yuduan's face was full of anger, and he clenched his fists tightly at the side. His body couldn't help but tremble, and his emotions were clearly showing signs of being out of control...

Seeing this scene, Hou Yuxiao walked over without thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him: "No matter what, hold it back, now, we are not qualified to speak!"
