Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 174 Hou Yuduan was designed
Four years ago, it was the 1318th year of the New Yu Calendar.

Zhaoyang County Government
In the library in the backyard of the county government office, Ji Yanzhi, who has white beard and hair, is sitting cross-legged on the edge of the window sill. He is holding a book in his left hand and writing in the blank space with a pen in his right hand. His expression is quite concentrated. It seems that he is Filling in some content.

"Fifth Young Master, come to study again!"

"Well, I just greeted the county lord."

"Come in quickly."

…………

Hearing the sound of someone coming in from outside the door, Ji Yanzhi frowned slightly at first, then stopped writing and put the book in his hand on the shelf, then a look of curiosity appeared on his face.

"It's a miracle that there are still people in the Eastern Frontier of the Devil's Cult who are obsessed with books..."

He thought for a moment, and a thin layer of white light erupted from his body. He continued to stand next to the bookshelf, staring motionlessly at the door, trying to see who would come in.

What came in was a handsome-looking young man in white clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although his face was still a little childish, his complexion had begun to take on a magnanimous look. His figure was tall and handsome, and he exuded the air of a pure scholar. breath.

When he saw the young man for the first time, Ji Yanzhi's face had already shown a hint of appreciation and admiration, but when he took a closer look, a touch of shock that could not be concealed suddenly appeared on his face.

He discovered that there was already a strong Confucian righteousness brewing in the young man's body. This was a place where Yongzhou Demonic Ruler ruled, and Confucianism was not allowed to spread the law. This meant that the Confucian righteousness in the young man was all He acquired it through self-cultivation without any teacher.

The young man did not see Ji Yanzhi, who was less than five meters away. He was concentrating on reading the books on the shelf. He only changed one from time to time. If someone who didn't know about it saw this scene, he would be afraid. One would also think that the young man was not reading seriously at all.

But what Ji Yanzhi saw was completely different. As the young man read through the pages like he was swallowing a jujube, the Confucianism and Taoism in his body was growing and growing at an astonishing speed. He knew what this meant.

Under the rule of evil, there are actually Confucian disciples with such evil talents...

"The Chronicles of Taiping", "The Troubled Times of Wuzong", "The Biography of Refugees", "The Prosperity of Shenzong", "Nine Peerless Demons"......

The young man flipped through five classics in a row. When he saw the Taiping Annals, his face was full of yearning and hope; when he saw the Wuzong's troubled times, he turned into intolerance and indignation; when he saw the Biographies of the Refugees, he looked even more heartbroken; When the Shenzong was in its prime, he showed great fascination again; when he saw the last nine peerless monsters, he suddenly became murderous...

Ji Yanzhi's mind moved slightly, and a gleam of light shot out from his right index finger, and the book he had just put on the shelf fell to the ground.

Snapped……

The young man was attracted by the sound, turned his head, and saw the book falling from the shelf, showing doubts. He put down the book in his hand, walked over and picked up the book from the ground.

The booklet fell to the ground, revealing the content of one page:
In the 153th year of Emperor Wuzong's reign, the world was in chaos, and bandits attacked Zhaoyang. The last county magistrate, Hong Zhanpeng, preferred to die rather than surrender, and led the young men and women in the city to resist. The city was destroyed in seven days, and all 18 old, young, women, and children in the city were massacred. Their bodies were covered with blood for ten miles. Drifting oars.

At that time, some people suspected that Hong Zhanpeng had a false reputation and ignored the lives of the people. In fact, in the last years of the Wuzong period, the people were in dire straits. Warriors often used living souls to practice martial arts and replenish their energy. Surrendering or not would lead to death. Hong Zhanpeng could have survived on his own, but with The people in the city live and die together. It is gratifying to have such a loyal minister in the last years of Emperor Wu Zong's life...

The young man turned the book to the cover and saw the words "Zhaoyang County Chronicle". He suddenly frowned. He had read the "Zhaoyang County Chronicle" before, but this paragraph was not in it.

Then he turned to the page just now. When he saw the content, his body suddenly shook, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He hurriedly put the book on the shelf, then bowed in front of him and said respectfully: "I don't know who Senior is here, late born Hou Yuduan, I hope senior will show up to see you!"

Hou Yuduan is not crazy. The handwriting on that page is still warm, and the ink has not even dried. Judging from the pure Confucianism and Taoism that comes from the handwriting, it is obvious that there are other people in this library. And it is very likely that he is a Confucian and Taoist senior.

He started studying since he was a child, and got into Confucianism and Taoism by chance. However, because he was in Yongzhou, he could not see other Confucianism and Taoism practitioners at all on weekdays. Now that he finally met a Confucianism and Taoism senior, he was naturally overjoyed.

Ji Yanzhi did not continue to cover up, but removed the light around his body, and slowly appeared in Hou Yuduan's eyes. However, he had restrained his previous expression of appreciation and admiration, and ignored Hou Yuduan's excited expression, and just asked in a rather calm tone. Said: "You speculate that someone is there just because the ink is not dry?"

Hou Yuduan's excited expression was all due to the vast Confucian and Taoist righteousness surrounding the old man's body in front of him. When he heard the old man's question, he quickly bowed respectfully, with a touch of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Actually... Late birth is just a matter of time. Guess, if senior doesn’t show up to meet me, I’ll just pretend that nothing happened, since there’s no one else here anyway, I won’t suffer any loss!”

Ji Yanzhi's eyes once again flashed a trace of appreciation, but he still did not show it. He asked in a low voice: "What do you think of the record about the county honor in the Zhaoyang County Chronicle?"

This is a test of myself...

Hou Yuduan's mind turned and he thought for a moment before replying: "In the last years of Emperor Wuzong's reign, the people were in dire straits. Hong Zhanpeng, as the leader of a county, can live and die with the people without surrendering to bandits, live and die with the people, live up to the gods and the people, and be a loyal minister!" "

A smile appeared on Ji Yanzhi's face and he was about to speak...

"However, judging from the content, the senior obviously has an old relationship with the county official named Hong Zhanpeng, so the recorded content is biased, and his evaluation contains many subjective factors. I wonder if the junior is guessing, right? "

Facing Hou Yuduan's question, Ji Yanzhi showed a look of shame on his face and didn't speak for a long time. He answered the question with silence.

A person who cultivates Confucianism must follow his heart in all rights and wrongs. He felt a little ashamed that he admitted Hou Yuduan's words, but this did not mean that he felt that there was something wrong with his records, it was just that he didn't know how to explain it.

"Of course, anyone who writes will have subjective factors. This is not caused by the bias of the predecessors. Besides, it is unclear what the truth is about what happened thousands of years ago. Even if you want to pursue it, it is not clear. It is not easy for anyone to remember it.

Besides... Wan Sheng felt that such a record was not bad. The reputation of a loyal minister and a filial son could not only educate the world, but also nourish the righteousness of the world and guide the world to be loyal and good. It was better than those strange stories about troubled times that caused people to have evil thoughts and commit crimes. "

Ji Yanzhi's expression was shocked and he stared at Hou Yuduan for a long time.

People who cultivate Confucianism have eight minds and are far more intelligent than ordinary people. Therefore, the agility and wisdom shown by Hou Yuduan before were not so unusual in his opinion. What really shocked him was that Hou Yuduan was in a The territory of Yongzhou was under the rule of demons, but it was still able to uphold its original intention and practice Confucianism and Taoism wholeheartedly, and cultivate this awe-inspiring righteousness without anyone's guidance.

The Master said that those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. In the enlightenment stage of Confucianism and Taoism, the most important thing is the environment. Therefore, there are academies almost everywhere in Yangzhou and Yanzhou. Even Bailu Academy has opened many branches in the other seven states of Zhengdao, specializing in Just to cultivate more Confucian disciples.

This is Yongzhou. Under the rule of the devil, everyone is martial. Not to mention the academy, even books are probably not easy to get.

Hou Yuduan was able to cultivate Confucianism and Taoism in Yongzhou with great righteousness, which is enough to prove his firmness in cultivating Confucianism, and it can also prove that his talent is far beyond any student Ji Yanzhi has seen before.

And as these few words of conversation continued, the words and actions of the young man in front of him, who was only 16 years old at most, were really able to calm him down.

Especially the last sentence, the evaluation of the content of his record, made him, a great scholar with a clear understanding of the second realm, have some vague feelings.

The reputation of a loyal minister and a filial son can not only educate the world, but also nourish the righteousness of the world and guide the world to be loyal and good. It is better than the weird stories in troubled times, causing people to have evil thoughts and commit crimes.

Ji Yanzhi withdrew his gaze, Hou Yuduan's voice still echoing in his mind.

"You are a Confucian who wants to educate the world, but you are overestimating your abilities!"

Hou Yuduan looked stunned, and when he saw Ji Yanzhi's slightly contemptuous eyes, he was a little unconvinced, and he choked back: "Judging people by their cultivation, doesn't it mean that we Confucian cultivators should be judged the same as vulgar martial artists? Although my cultivation is low, Although I have little Confucianism, I am still willing to do my little bit to promote Confucianism and educate the world, so how can I say that I am overestimating my own abilities."

Ji Yanzhi's eyes flashed, and he asked again: "Master has been practicing for two thousand years before he opened up the path of Confucianism. He emerged from the Haoran Holy Sect and was appreciated by the Shenzong. The Divine Dynasty poured out all his resources to help. He devoted his whole life to promoting Confucianism and Taoism in the world. 500 Years ago, he failed to educate the world. The divine dynasty was in chaos, and the world still fell apart. How dare a mere Confucian speak so loudly here!

At a young age, you should be down-to-earth, read more books, and improve your Confucianism and Taoism. After you have the strength, you can slay demons, eradicate violence, punish evil and promote good, practice my Confucian way, and promote my Confucian style. Even if you really do some practical things for the people and educate the world, you should not talk too much about it. It would be bad for Feng Da to flash his tongue. "

"I read through the classics. The Dynasty of Dayu is known as the peak period of Shenzong's prosperity. There are countless capable people and strangers in the world. Demons and demons have been slain for countless times. Demons are still rampant and the human race is in decline. Shenzong even wants to collect steel from all over the world to build buildings. Only the city can resist, and this alone is enough to prove that the world is peaceful, and it is simply impossible to rely on capable people with high cultivation bases.

No matter how powerful the demon is beheaded, no matter how powerful the demon is killed, no matter how much violence is eliminated, no matter how great the kindness is done, it can only appease one side, and it is useless in the thirteen states of the world.

Demons are the product of mutual hatred among people in the world.

In my opinion, if we want to make the world truly peaceful, we still need to focus on Confucianism to eliminate the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance in people's hearts, and guide people to be good. In this way, it can not only eliminate human beings' own struggles, but also make people no longer Hating each other can also solve the problem of demons breeding from the root. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone! "

Hou Yuduan looked slightly excited. It was impossible to say these words to people in Zhaoyang County. Firstly, no one could understand him. Secondly, no one was willing to talk to him. Today, he finally said it, and he was naturally very touched. carefree.

Although he refuted Ji Yanzhi, Hou Yuduan did not object to all his words. After a moment of silence, he felt a little ashamed of his words, so he bowed respectfully to him and added another sentence with a humble face.

"Of course, even if you freeze three feet, it won't freeze in a day, and if you build a building thousands of feet high, it must be built from the ground. I will definitely keep the encouragement from my seniors in my heart. I will read more books and improve my cultivation so that I can build more smoothly in the future." To live out my philosophy.”

At this moment, Ji Yanzhi could hardly conceal the excitement on his face.

He looked at Hou Yuduan as if he were looking at a piece of beautiful jade, his eyes full of excitement and excitement. He had gained a lot so far when he returned to Zhaoyang this time, but he never expected that he would meet Hou Yuduan again. , such a big surprise...

"Boy, how about following me back to White Deer Academy?"

Hou Yuduan, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly heard these words in his ears. When he heard the words "White Deer Academy", his expression was extremely surprised.

But after a moment of silence, there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes...

Seeing Hou Yuduan shake his head gently, Ji Yanzhi suddenly frowned.

………………

Tongling County, above
"That's not the case. If you had returned to White Deer Academy with me four years ago, the situation today would definitely not be like this!"

Ji Yanzhi's answer brought Hou Yuduan's thoughts back to reality from four years ago. He looked at Ji Yanzhi with his fists clenched, not hiding the anger in his heart at all.

"The main body of the blood demon is Ling'er. More than 300 years ago, before the Zhaoyang Incident happened, Ling'er was extremely attached to my brother. After being reincarnated as a blood demon, she will still have special feelings for the scholar. , so after I knew that Tian Honglu could be the carrier of her resurrection, I handed the Blood Shadow Sword to her through Fazheng.

You all know what happened next..."

Hou Yuduan's body was shaken, and the memory in his mind went back to the first time he saw Tian Honglu. His thoughts gradually became clear, and there was a look of disbelief on his face, and he looked down unexpectedly.

The direction he was looking at was Hou Yuxiao who couldn't move at the moment...

Hou Yuxiao's eyes were full of struggle at this moment. He knew very well why Lao Wu looked at him like this at this moment. He was doubting himself!
He was the one who came back after arresting Tian Honglu last year.

He was also the one who arranged Tian Honglu in the east wing.

The fifth child, this is suspicious, my elder brother is also deliberately designing him.

This stupid Ji Yanzhi will never forget to trick him...

Once there is a rift between the two brothers, it will be difficult to make up for it.

Hou Yuxiao didn't know Ji Yanzhi's purpose for doing this. He mobilized all his cultivation almost crazily, wanting to lift his imprisonment and speak, but he couldn't do it anyway. He could only look at Hou Yuduan's desperate eyes, anxious...

Ji Yanzhi did it on purpose. The whole place was controlled by him at this moment. He couldn't explain it, and he definitely did it on purpose. After Hou Yuxiao reacted, his eyes when he looked at Ji Yanzhi suddenly became a little sinister.

Ji Yan's body had become a little unreal, but when he looked down at Hou Yuxiao's gloomy eyes on the ground, a hint of darkness flashed through the depths of his pupils.

"The only weakness is gone, my Confucian sect... from then on there will be successors!"

Hou Yuduan stared at Hou Yuxiao for a long time, and the respect he had for his brother finally made him resist the urge to question Hou Yuxiao. He withdrew his gaze and gradually shifted his gaze to Miss Hong.

He knew that everyone's eyes were focused on him at the moment. He also understood what these people wanted him to do, and he knew better what he should do...

But even so, with the Blood Shadow Sword in his hand, he still didn't move for a long time. He looked at the red girl, his body was gradually shaking, and his eyes were full of struggle and pain.Especially when he saw Miss Hong looking at him so calmly, without any wavering in her eyes, Hou Yuduan was even more heartbroken.

After struggling for more than a hundred breaths, in full view of everyone, Hou Yuduan made an action that no one expected. He directly raised his sword and slashed towards his neck...

Probably because he couldn't bear the pain in his heart, he actually planned to commit suicide.

On the ground, Hou Yuxiao's eyes were extremely ferocious, and the veins on his forehead were almost bursting out. The second son Hou Yucheng and the fourth son Hou Yujie were the same when they saw this scene. They wanted to step forward to stop them, almost to the point of madness. level, but no matter what, it can’t be done...

At the critical moment, the calm-eyed girl Hong suddenly appeared in front of Hou Yuduan, holding the Blood Shadow Sword with her hand, pointing it at her abdomen, resolutely pounced forward, and threw herself into Hou Yuduan's arms. middle.

puff...

"No!"
