Chapter 192 The method of becoming a saint, the canonization ceremony, Zhang Nings suicide, danger
Opportunity is coming
The first year of Wuchang.
December 27th.
There are still three days until Xu Qingxiao will be granted the title of Marquis.
However, the entire Wei Jing capital has become lively.
The Great Wei Dynasty was granted the title of Marquis, something that had not happened since the Northern Expedition, and the people who were granted the title were not just ordinary people.
These three words Xu Qingxiao may be a bit exaggerated when looking at the world, but looking at the entire Zhongzhou, everyone knows and knows about them.
Naturally, heroes from all over the country came to the capital of the Wei Dynasty, wanting to see with their own eyes the grace of the new marquis of the Wei Dynasty.
The entire Kyoto has been decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it look extremely grand, even more lively than the Taiping Poetry Festival and the Empress' birthday.
Firstly, it was Xu Qingxiao's fame, and secondly, the Empress of Wei invited many forces. Among the seven Immortal Sects, she invited three of them, as well as some other forces.
The Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty also sent invitations, and both sent envoys to present gifts.
Although the three major dynasties have a tacit understanding and use various methods secretly, on the surface they still have to give each other face.
The excitement of Kyoto.
It seems a little irrelevant to Xu Qingxiao.
In Shouren School.
These two days were relatively peaceful for Xu Qingxiao.
No one comes to disturb me, and I have nothing to worry about. I can just wait for the canonization ceremony to come.
The Hou Mansion is under renovation.
Xu Qingxiao had already obtained the sixth-grade realm-breaking pill, but he had not directly broken through.
The sixth-grade warrior is "reborn". Once swallowed, it will be reborn, which will cause some unusual phenomena.
Therefore, it was not a good idea to break through in Shouren Academy and attract some unnecessary attention.
When we get to the Hou Mansion, we can completely break through alone.
My own Pingluan Hou Mansion was built according to the standards of the Duke of Guo. Because of the school, it occupied an area of about 300 acres, with four gardens, sixteen courtyards, and rockeries all arranged.
The date of ennobling the marquis is December 30th.
But the construction of the Hou Mansion started a month ago, and he can move in after the Marquis Ceremony is over.
"Master Xu, what you asked for has arrived."
At this time, Li Xian's voice sounded outside.
I saw that Li Xian had brought three jade boxes with medicinal materials hidden in them.
This is the material for the fifth-grade realm-breaking elixir.
Xu Qingxiao directly asked the Empress if she had the corresponding materials. After receiving the Empress' affirmative answer, she sent someone to deliver it.
As for the fifth-grade realm-breaking elixir, it is easier to say that although it is rare, at least the Great Wei Palace has it.
The fourth-grade realm-breaking pill gave Xu Qingxiao a headache.
The fourth-grade realm-breaking elixir requires two materials, a jar of dragon true blood and a unicorn horn.
Dragon, once it grows up, it is a monster beast that must reach the second level. It is a monster king-level existence. As long as the transformation is successful, it can transform into a first-level virtual dragon and possess the nature of a dragon. The blood of this kind of monster is priceless.
Every drop can be used as medicine to refine life-sustaining pills.
As for the unicorn horn, it is not a unicorn horn, but a unicorn-like horn, which is essentially the same as a dragon.
These two things were not available in the Wei Dynasty.
"Sir Xu, Your Majesty said that you will find the remaining two medicinal materials. Your Majesty will find a way to find them for you. These will be given to you first."
Li Xian opened his mouth and told Xu Qingxiao about this.
"Okay, go back and tell His Majesty, I will thank you."
Xu Qingxiao replied.
Fourth-grade medicinal materials were hard to find, and Xu Qingxiao knew that even if they were available, Da Wei would have to pay a heavy price.
If I don't leave Dawei now, I won't be able to use the fourth-grade realm-breaking pill for the time being.
After the jade box was delivered.
Xu Qingxiao also gave Li Xian a banknote. The denomination was not small, one thousand taels of silver. Now that Li Xian needed to climb up, he would definitely not disdain the money.
Although he was polite for a while, Li Xian finally accepted the banknote under Xu Qingxiao's gaze.
After Li Xian left, Xu Qingxiao directly placed the medicinal materials in front of the ancient Alchemy Scripture and said.
"I have obtained the fifth-grade medicinal materials, and I am thinking of ways to use the fourth-grade medicinal materials."
"Senior, even though I know I shouldn't say something, I still can't help but say it."
"The fourth-grade realm-breaking elixir requires the true blood of a dragon and a unicorn. The third-grade, second-grade pill, or even the first-grade pill requires true dragon blood."
The medicinal materials are placed in front of the ancient Alchemy Scripture, which makes me feel uncomfortable.
It’s not something else. The fourth grade requires the use of the dragon’s true blood, but the third grade cannot use the virtual dragon’s true blood? The second grade requires the true dragon essence and blood. Xu Qingxiao doesn’t think it’s excessive at all.
Not to mention Yipin.
I didn't negotiate the price before because I didn't have time. Moreover, for the Wei Dynasty, it was really nothing.
But the ancient Alchemy Scriptures were asking for a lot of money, so Xu Qingxiao couldn't possibly be a fool.
Hearing Xu Qingxiao's voice, Alchemy Ancient Scripture naturally knew that Xu Qingxiao was unhappy.
He was not angry, but seemed a little sincere.
"My little friend, please don't misunderstand me."
"First of all, my alchemy process varies from person to person. Your physique is very different. Perhaps it is because of practicing different arts. It is more difficult than ordinary people to practice, so refining is more troublesome. But every time you upgrade to a level, your strength changes greatly.
.”
"Now you are only at level 7. When you swallow the level 6 realm-breaking pill and add the level 5 pill, you will know how strong you are. And every time I will give you a foundation building pill to help you.
Stable realm.”
"If I'm not arrogant, at the same level, your strength will definitely surpass that of those martial arts families."
"It's just that you haven't come into contact with such people at all now, so you don't know whether they are strong or not."
"Second, don't look at the exaggeration of what the fourth-grade realm-breaking pill requires. The fourth-grade is the king realm, and it is a completely new change. The king of martial arts, if you take my fourth-grade realm-breaking pill, plus the fourth-grade
Foundation Building Pill."
"I don't want to say anything else, you can at least be in the top ten in the world king realm. This is still a conservative estimate. It is so conservative because you have not learned much about martial arts and supernatural powers."
"If you master a few real martial arts magical powers, you will know how powerful I am."
"Third, little friend, think about it for yourself, how long does it take for others to cultivate to the fourth level? How long does it take for you to cultivate to the fourth level?"
"Even if the first rank really wants the true dragon's blood, at least you can see hope. But for the world's warriors, the first rank is an insurmountable gap that cannot be crossed in a lifetime."
"And if you see hope, whether you can achieve it is another matter. Thinking about it this way, do you still think it's expensive?"
The ancient Dan Shen Sutra says so.
The tone was extremely determined, which actually made Xu Qingxiao a little silent.
If he didn't lie to himself, then this transaction was indeed not a loss and was very profitable.
The peerless king, guaranteed to be in the top ten, is perfect in every realm, has mastered certain magical powers, can enter the top three, and for himself, as long as he has the corresponding medicinal materials, he can definitely break through.
Very profitable indeed.
"Okay, let's see again when we get to the fourth level."
Xu Qingxiao didn't say anything more. She had already said it for this purpose, and there was no point in saying more.
There's no rush anyway, as long as the materials can be gathered within a year.
What is really urgent right now should not be the royal medicinal materials, but the Confucian and Taoist grades.
A real catastrophe and crisis is waiting for him.
"Is it still seven days from now?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"Well, after seven days, the pill will be completed."
The ancient Danshen Sutra gives the answer.
"good."
Xu Qingxiao didn't think much, picked up the book and started reading.
But soon, Li Shouming's voice sounded outside.
"Teacher, Chen Ru is here. He said that you have an appointment and asked you to go out."
As Li Shouming's voice sounded outside.
Xu Qingxiao stood up immediately, and after thinking for a moment, she guessed what Chen Zhengru wanted to do with her.
Go to see Xun Ru, the second great scholar of heaven and earth in the Wen Palace.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao naturally did not hesitate, got up and went to find Chen Zhengru.
And at the same time.
In the secret room of Prince Huaining's Mansion.
Two figures sit facing each other.
Prince Huaining's posture was slightly lowered, looking at the person in front of him, and his voice slowly sounded.
"Brother, Xu Qingxiao is about to be granted the title of Marquis."
"The Great Wei Palace will definitely intervene to disrupt the situation. Should we take the opportunity to do something?"
Prince Huaining opened his mouth, looked at the old man in front of him, and said this.
"Need not."
"This matter has nothing to do with us."
"Xu Qingxiao is not our enemy either."
"Cough cough. Cough cough cough! Huai Ning, remember, what is our plan?"
An old voice sounded, accompanied by a violent cough, and another figure hunched over, speaking with difficulty.
"Foolish brother understands."
"It's just that the All Saints Cult seems to be extremely wary of us and has not allowed us to really participate in it. Is this really what we are doing? Aren't we guarding against him?"
Prince Huaining stood up, patted the old man on the back, and asked.
"Need not."
"They need us. Without us, their plan will not succeed."
"As long as this plan succeeds, no matter what benefits they can get, the two of us will benefit the most."
The old man said this, his words full of certainty.
After receiving this definite answer, Prince Huaining nodded.
After a while, the old man spoke.
"However, there was not enough time, so I asked them to speed up the time."
"You should also ask the vassal kings from various places to prepare."
"Three months, three months at the latest, something big will happen to Wei."
"And they only need to wait another month before they can take action. By then, troubled times will arise."
"Let them be prepared. Also, we don't want the throne. You must make it clear that in the name of Huaiping, you only need revenge."
"They will believe it."
The old man continued, and in his words he was certain that something big would happen to Wei in three months.
"What happened?"
Prince Huaining was curious about this matter, and he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"The Great Wei Wen Palace is leaving."
The old man spoke calmly, there was no excitement in his words, he was very calm.
But as soon as he said this, Prince Huaining suddenly showed a look of extreme astonishment.
He didn't believe it, or even said he didn't believe it at all.
The Great Wei Wen Palace is about to leave?
How can this be?
"Brother."
"This is impossible."
"It would not be a good thing for us if Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty breaks away. At that time, the national destiny of the Great Wei Dynasty will have a big problem."
Prince Huaining's first reaction was that it was impossible.
He was a little excited.
This was one of the few times when he was emotionally excited.
The main thing is that the Great Wei Wen Palace broke away, which is terrible.
Once this happens, big problems will indeed arise in the country of Wei Dynasty, and it is very likely to cause natural and man-made disasters, including some military disasters.
And what’s the scariest thing?
In a sense, Dawei Wen Palace transcends the nature of a saint.
The Wen Palace contains the holy spirit, and it took hundreds of years and the faith of ten generations of scholars to build this great Wei Wen Palace.
Possessing incredible power, it can suppress the destiny of the country, frighten demons and bless the destiny.
Once the Wen Palace of Wei Dynasty disappears, all the demons in the world will probably cause chaos.
There are even great demons appearing in Kyoto.
Take the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty as examples. They had no wars, but they raised a lot of troops just to suppress the demons.
The Wei Dynasty had a civil palace, so it naturally did not require much energy to deal with these monsters.
Because monsters don’t dare to cause trouble in the Wei Dynasty, it’s okay for little monsters to cause trouble.
If the big monster dares to cause trouble, Wen Gong can kill it with a strong and upright attitude. Even if it is a peerless monster, no matter how misbehaving, he will not dare to step into the capital of the Wei Dynasty.
This is the power of Wei Wen Palace.
So when he heard that the Great Wei Palace was about to leave, Prince Huaining was shocked.
"Nothing is impossible."
"There are so many impossibilities in this world, it's just whether there are benefits or not."
"They have been making preparations since Emperor Jingtai began to suppress the Wen Palace of Wei Dynasty."
The old man spoke, extremely calm.
Prince Huaining also knew about this matter.
"Now that we have come to this point, what do you think?"
"Can't we just take action and suppress Wen Gong?"
Prince Huaining did not know much about the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty. To be precise, it was not that he did not understand, but that he did not know the basics. He was not a scholar. Even if he sent his son to get close to them, he would be isolated.
Didn't get to the core.
"Suppress Wen Gong?"
"In this world, except for saints, who can suppress the Great Wei Wen Palace?"
"Huai Ning, please remember my brother's words."
"No matter what, no matter who you are enemies with, don't be enemies with Wei Wengong. Don't treat him as if he is ordinary. That's because we can see him."
"To this world, the reputation of the Great Wei Wen Palace is indeed better than that of the Great Wei Dynasty. Even ten Great Wei Dynasties are not as famous as one Great Wei Wen Palace."
"Ahem, cough, cough. Of course, this is from the perspective of the world."
"And the background of the Great Wei Wen Palace is beyond your imagination. The death of Emperor Wu is very likely to be related to the Great Wei Wen Palace."
"Even the White Clothes Sect is very likely to be related to the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty."
The old man spoke out, and every word he said was shocking.
Prince Huaining knew some secrets. Emperor Wu definitely did not die in a normal way, but had a huge hidden secret. However, he was on an expedition at the time and did not participate in it. When he came back, he knew more or less.
But no one knows exactly what happened, at least not myself.
Nowadays, I have never thought that the death of Emperor Wu was related to the Wen Palace of Wei Dynasty.
Even the Baiyi Sect is related to the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty.
This is astonishing.
After all, the White Clothes Sect is a real rebel organization.
It is said that if the orphan of Emperor Wu is in their hands, they will use it to cause trouble for the empress at any time.
And he is also looking for the orphan of Emperor Wu, but unlike the Baiyi Sect, the Baiyi Sect is a rebel organization on the surface, and he is not a rebel organization.
He was just changing the throne, and the White Clothes Sect was probably an organization that wanted to use Emperor Wu's orphan to blackmail the Empress.
In his eyes, Bai Yimen has certain abilities, but he has never been able to get on the stage.
Unless they can really find the orphan of Emperor Wu.
But whether the story of Emperor Wu's orphan is true or not remains to be investigated, but in any case, the Baiyimen is involved with the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, which is really incredible.
But Prince Huaining was not an ordinary person after all. After the initial shock, he quickly regained his composure.
Whether the Great Wei Wen Palace has anything to do with the Baiyi Sect or not has nothing to do with him.
Just know it.
"Brother, for the rest of the time, we just have to wait, right?"
Prince Huaining asked.
"Well, just wait quietly. As for Xu Qingxiao, he may be unlucky in three days."
"Peng Ru is definitely not a good person. I don't know what he is thinking, but he will definitely not let Xu Qingxiao go."
"The Marquis Ceremony is very likely to become a joke."
Prince Huaining's brother said so.
"He is actually a talent. Unfortunately, for being our enemy, he is destined to pay a price, an extremely painful price."
Although Xu Qingxiao was his enemy, Prince Huaining had to admit Xu Qingxiao's talent and ability.
This is a fact that no one can deny.
Xu Qingxiao is indeed talented.
And at this time.
In the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, Xu Qingxiao and Chen Zhengru appeared quietly.
Chen Zhengru came to Xu Qingxiao to bring him to the Great Wei Palace. Xu Qingxiao had asked about the saint a few days ago, so Chen Zhengru simply took Xu Qingxiao to see Xunru.
After all, Xun Ru also has a very good impression of Xu Qingxiao. Naturally, meeting him would be of great benefit to Xu Qingxiao. In addition, he could also ask questions at will and let Xun Ru answer them.
But when Xu Qingxiao stepped into Wen Palace for the second time, in an instant, a pair of eyes couldn't help but fall on him.
Some of these looks were hostile, doubtful, angry, and weird.
Everyone seemed to be curious, why did Xu Qingxiao appear here?
When Xu Qingxiao felt everyone's gazes, she didn't feel nervous or had any mood swings. Instead, she seemed very calm and didn't care at all about the weird looks in their eyes.
Came directly to a palace.
The temple is very neat and tidy, without any luxury items. Instead, there are some bamboo basket fishing gear, which looks extremely strange.
"Xunru likes fishing when he has nothing to do. He lives a leisurely life and doesn't like to cause trouble."
"People who are extremely leisurely learn the inheritance of the second saint."
Chen Ru introduced Xu Qingxiao as he walked.
"I see, Xun Ru is really elegant."
Xu Qingxiao said with emotion that a great scholar of heaven and earth likes to go fishing when he has nothing to do. I really admire his interest.
Compare Xun Ru and Peng Ru. One goes fishing when he has nothing to do, while the other thinks of ways to harm people all day long.
This is really a comparison between people, there is no comparison.
Inside the palace.
A slight snore sounded.
In the hall, a figure was sitting on the chief throne, his head slightly lowered. His snoring was not loud, but it was clearly audible.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ru was a little embarrassed. The great scholar of heaven and earth was sitting in the palace and snoring, and he couldn't explain it.
He wanted to speak and wake up Xunru, but Xu Qingxiao stopped him and shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no problem.
The old man finally got some sleep, so there's no harm in waiting.
Looking at Xu Qingxiao's eyes, Chen Zhengru thought for a while and said nothing.
Just like that, the two of them waited quietly.
After about two hours, Xunru finally woke up.
Open your eyes.
Xun Ru raised his head, his face was peaceful and kind, and his eyes were a little confused. Although he was old, he was not that lifeless old, he just reached his age.
"Chen Zhengru."
"Xu Shouren?"
Xun Ru quickly came to his senses and recognized Xu Qingxiao's identity at a glance.
"Student Xu Qingxiao pays homage to Xun Ru."
Seeing Xun Ru wake up, Xu Qingxiao stood up quickly and spoke, looking very respectful and humble.
Chen Zhengru also stood up and bowed to Xunru.
"Shouren, why didn't you say anything when you came?"
"How many hours have I been asleep? How long have you been waiting?"
Xun Ru was a little surprised. He had the habit of taking naps. Anyway, he would sleep when he had nothing to do. When he woke up, he would eat, drink, and go fishing. It was quite good to spend the rest of his life slowly like this.
But what I didn't expect was that Xu Qingxiao came and was willing to wait in order not to disturb her rest.
It’s not that this kind of character is good, but that this kind of humility is really rare.
After all, Xu Qingxiao is not just a great scholar. The most popular person in the Wei Dynasty is about to be granted a title of marquis. It is rare for such a person to maintain such humility.
"Not long."
"I hope Xun Ru will forgive me for disturbing you."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up and said calmly.
"Xunru, Shouren is like this, a humble man. We have been waiting here for two hours, but Xunru, what time has it been? Why are you still sleeping? Did you fish again at night yesterday?"
Chen Zhengru was not polite and spoke directly. It was obvious that Xunru was a kind person, otherwise Chen Zhengru would not be like this.
"What happened?"
"There is no night fishing, there is no night fishing."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Hey, Shouren, why are you looking for me today?"
When Xun Ru heard about Ye Diao, he quickly denied it. It was not because he was embarrassed, but because he was discovered by the people in the Wen Palace. Indispensable was some careful persuasion. As a great scholar of heaven and earth, he should look like a great scholar of heaven and earth. He could not bring it to Wen Palace.
What kind of negative impact will it have?
Anyway, I was tired of hearing it, so I simply said nothing and secretly went fishing in a distant place.
As Xun Ru asked, Chen Zhengru did not worry about what Xun Ru had done, but looked at Xu Qingxiao and gave him a look.
"Xun Ru, my student came here today because he wants to ask about two things, the Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth and the method of becoming a saint."
Xu Qingxiao was very direct and asked about these two things.
How to become a great scholar in heaven and earth, and how to become a saint.
Following Xu Qingxiao’s inquiry.
Xun Ru was not surprised at all, but after pondering for a while, he slowly spoke.
"The great scholar of heaven and earth is quite simple, at least it is quite simple for you."
"All you need is the public opinion of the world. In the war between foreign countries, you single-handedly managed to bring down the disaster. Now the people of the Wei Dynasty admire you extremely."
"But you still lack a little bit of public opinion and an opportunity, an opportunity to be recognized by heaven and earth. The canonization ceremony will be held in three days. It's no accident. This little bit of public opinion won't be a problem."
"The real problem is this opportunity."
Xun Ru opened his mouth and proposed an opportunity.
Xu Qingxiao understood this herself, and now that she heard Xun Ru say this, she understood it better.
"What kind of opportunity is needed?"
At this time, Chen Zhengru opened his mouth and asked directly for Xu Qingxiao.
"It's hard to say, it varies from person to person."
"Shouren, you understand the meaning of Xinxue, establish the words of the people, and write thousands of words. If you want to be named a great scholar of heaven and earth and be recognized by heaven and earth, you must follow the laws of heaven with your true heart."
Xun Ru said slowly.
Follow the laws of nature with your true heart?
This was the first time Xu Qingxiao heard this sentence.
He was a little curious and didn't understand the meaning of these words, but somehow he understood something.
Looking at Xu Qingxiao's half-understanding look, Xunru continued.
"The so-called "one's heart should respond to the laws of heaven" actually means something simple.
"Whether you made your intentions clear, made statements, or wrote books before, these actually had a purpose."
"People in the world study, and they study for fame, benefit, and common people, all with a purpose. If you want to be honored by heaven and earth, and become a great scholar in heaven and earth, you must follow the laws of nature with your original heart."
Xun Ru explained, but Chen Zhengru on the side couldn't help but wonder.
"Xun Ru, if I follow what you said, then to become a great Confucian, wouldn't it mean that one has to have no desires and no pursuits? It cannot have any purpose?"
Chen Zhengru was curious. People in the world did read for various purposes, according to Xunru's meaning.
It seems that if you want to become a great scholar in the world, you must not have any purpose.
If this is the case, doesn’t that make him a person who has no desires and desires? Isn’t this a saint?
It's just that even a saint has his own thoughts.
"No."
Xun Ru shook his head and looked at the two people.
"The so-called "one's heart should respond to the laws of heaven" does not mean that there is no desire or purpose.
"It's about knowing the laws of nature, and all goals and ideas must obey the laws of nature."
“Whether it’s clear intentions, words or writings, if you want to be enshrined in heaven and earth, you must abide by the principles of heaven and earth.”
"So the fourth level of Confucianism and Taoism is also called knowing the destiny."
"Shouren, the opportunity you lack is the destiny of heaven. You must know clearly what the laws of heaven are and what the destiny of heaven is. Whether what you do is in compliance with the laws of heaven. Whether your clear intentions, speeches, and writings are in compliance with the laws of heaven. This destiny."
"So you must think clearly about what your central idea is and whether it is in line with destiny."
When Xun Ru said this, he stopped talking.
There is no other reason.
If you talk too much, it will affect Xu Qingxiao, so it is better to let Xu Qingxiao understand it better.
Inside the palace.
Xu Qingxiao did have a feeling of enlightenment.
Know the destiny, obey the laws of heaven, and have the central idea.
Is this the core of the Great Confucianism of Heaven and Earth?
No wonder I feel that public opinion is abundant, but I have never been able to break through to the realm of a great scholar of heaven and earth. What I never thought was that there is another thought like this in it.
your own central idea.
Know the destiny and obey the laws of nature.
Xu Qingxiao planned to go back and think about it carefully. If he could figure it out, he might be able to become a great scholar in the world.
And there is no need to worry about overthrowing the seedlings and encouraging them to grow.
"What about the method of sanctification?"
Xu Qingxiao asked curiously again.
As soon as he said this, Xun Ru fell silent for a moment, not because he didn't understand, but because he was deep in thought.
After a while, Xunru rang.
"The method of sanctification is simple to say, but difficult to do."
"You need to understand the holy will, establish the holy words, write the holy books, know the holy mandate, and gain the talent in the world."
Xun Ru opened his mouth and told him the method of becoming a saint.
"Is it no longer necessary to ask for public opinion?"
Chen Zhengru asked curiously.
"No need."
Xun Ru shook his head and then spoke.
"The road to becoming a saint only requires you to re-clarify your intentions, re-establish your words, re-write books, and re-understand your destiny."
"And you also need the world's talents and the power of scholars in the world to become a saint."
"Once you step into the third-grade semi-saint realm, you will be respected by scholars all over the world. Although you are not a true saint, you are almost there."
"In fact, in this world, the immortals, Confucianism, martial arts, demons, Buddhas, and the tenth grade of Confucianism and Taoism are the most incredible and difficult to understand."
"A first-grade warrior possesses incredible power, but there is still only one first-grade warrior in the world."
"Including the first-level immortals and the first-level Buddhists, there are all of them, but only the first-level Confucianism and Taoism can't produce one for thousands of years."
"Five generations of saints, throughout ancient and modern times."
"And throughout the past and present, how many first-grade warriors and first-grade virtual immortals have there been."
"So a third-grade semi-saint can be on an equal footing with a first-grade saint. A second-grade sub-sage can be worshiped by a first-grade saint. If he is a first-grade saint, he will be respected by the world."
"Five hundred years ago, Zhu Sheng became enlightened, and the Wei Dynasty ushered in an unparalleled grand occasion. The impact it brought was by no means just an immediate impact, but there were many benefits that you can't see and don't know."
"So, it's a good thing to want to be holy."
"But don't be reckless, otherwise you will end up in trouble and be in trouble."
Xun Ru's words seemed to be reminding him of something.
Xu Qingxiao felt Xun Ru's gaze, and he knew that his thoughts had been guessed by Xun Ru.
Therefore, Xun Ru gave some persuasion and implicitly told him not to be impulsive.
However, Xu Qingxiao nodded, then stood up and bowed to Xun Ru.
"Thank you Xunru for your advice."
Xu Qingxiao said with serious gratitude.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."
"Shouren, if you have time in the future, you can come to Weiwen Palace more often, read some books by sages, or go fishing with the old man."
Xun Confucianism is the most harmonious and kind way.
Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but chuckle and said: "If Xun Ru doesn't mind, I will bother you more in the future."
"Hahaha, okay, just come here often."
"If it doesn't work out, I'll ask someone to free up a room for you. It's not impossible for you to stay in Wen Palace."
Xun Ru said with a smile, but after saying these words, Chen Zhengru immediately understood what Xun Ru meant.
Xun Ru wanted to use his own influence to reconcile the conflict between Xu Qingxiao and Wei Wengong.
The main reason is the contradiction between Zhu Sheng's lineage.
"Thank you Xunru, but the Marquis Mansion will be built soon, and the students still prefer to live alone and be cleaner."
Xu Qingxiao declined politely, he could hear what Xun Ru meant.
"Okay, just come here often."
Xun Ru smiled.
But he didn't say anything.
Walking out of the hall, Xu Qingxiao looked very calm, but she kept thinking about the laws of heaven and earth and the methods of sanctification in her mind.
The Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, the central thought, knows the destiny of heaven, and obeys the laws of nature.
The method of becoming a saint is to re-clarify the meaning, re-establish the words, re-write the book, understand the holy meaning, and still have the talent in the world.
This is the real difficulty.
No wonder no one can become a saint after hundreds of years. The hardest thing about practicing it again is not the process, but the understanding.
Confucianism and Taoism require understanding. When you re-clarify your meaning, you must find new things and find new ideas within the original things.
This process is much more difficult than normal cultivation.
The way of the saint.
It's so scary.
Moreover, this is only a third-grade semi-saint.
What about the second-grade sub-sage and the first-grade Confucian sage?
Xu Qingxiao only hopes to be above the Confucian sage, and it is best not to have any more grades, otherwise she will really not be able to withstand it.
Shaking her head, Xu Qingxiao walked towards the outside of Wen Palace.
But at this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front, holding several books in his hand.
It's Hua Xingyun.
"Brother Hua."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and took the initiative to say hello. Xu Qingxiao was really full of curiosity about this Hua Xingyun.
At first I felt that this person was definitely not a good person, and then all forces asked themselves to pay attention to this person.
However, more than half a year later, Hua Xingyun was still working in the Household Department. His position was not high and he was a chief. This was because of the recent recruitment of people in the Household Department, and Hua Xingyun was promoted to chief.
Xu Qingxiao was very curious about this.
Such a great talent is so low-key, so calm, and willing to work at the grassroots level.
If it hadn't been for meeting him today, Xu Qingxiao might not even be able to remember this person.
"I've met Chen Ru, I've met Xu Ru."
As Xu Qingxiao greeted him, Hua Xingyun immediately bowed humbly and showed great respect.
Xu Qingxiao said a few polite words and left the Great Wei Wen Palace without staying much longer.
After Xu Qingxiao left, Hua Xingyun's eyes kept falling on Xu Qingxiao's back, and his eyes looked a little strange.
An indescribable look.
That's it.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
The entire Wei Jingdu became even more lively.
The foreign countries sent congratulatory gifts one after another. Perhaps because he was beaten up, he didn't have much to send, so he forced himself to collect some treasures and sent them over.
The Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty sent generous gifts.
As for the three major immortal sects in the Wei Dynasty, they also sent people to deliver gifts, and it is said that Buddhist disciples also came.
This time, it was an unprecedented event. After all, the Wei Dynasty had won the battle, so it was natural to give him face.
It can be said that guests gathered together, and the capital of the Wei Dynasty was bustling with people.
Tomorrow is the day when Xu Qingxiao will be granted the title of Marquis.
Inside Shouren Academy.
Xu Qingxiao was still reading quietly, thinking about her central idea.
He has been thinking about his central idea for the past two days, and he is still thinking about what destiny is!
It was at this time.
Senior brother Chen Xinghe called out from outside the door.
"Junior brother, Lu Ziying sent a letter."
Chen Xinghe opened his mouth and said.
"good."
Xu Qingxiao stood up, opened the door, and took the letter from Chen Xinghe's hand.
"Junior brother, Brother Wei is continuing to study. The imperial examination is approaching and I don't want to delay it. I may not even go to the Marquis Ceremony tomorrow."
"Don't think too much, senior brother doesn't have other ideas."
The imperial examination was approaching, and Chen Xinghe really had to hurry up, but he deliberately opened his mouth to tell Xu Qingxiao not to think too much, which made him feel a bit like there was no silver in this place.
"Okay, junior brother, I would like to congratulate you in advance on your victory."
Xu Qingxiao smiled and congratulated her in advance.
"Yes, but you are the one taking the exam this time. Junior brother, there are a few things that senior brother has to say."
"You must look at the articles written by Senior Brother with the sternest eyes. You must not show any favoritism. Even if Senior Brother can obviously be the first, it is best to avoid suspicion. Senior Brother does not want you to bear the infamy."
Chen Xinghe said firmly.
I specifically reminded Xu Qingxiao not to let go.
When Xu Qingxiao heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.
But after thinking about it, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but smile, nodded and agreed.
Seeing Xu Qingxiao agreeing with a smile, Chen Xinghe also laughed.
Then he returned to his room and opened Lu Ziying's letter. The other party invited him to attend a party after he was canonized in a few days. They were all disciples of the Immortal Sect.
Putting the letter aside, Xu Qingxiao continued to read without responding. Let's wait until the canonization ceremony is over.
In this way, time passes slowly.
In a blink of an eye, it's midnight.
Outside Shouren Academy, a group of eunuchs and maids had been waiting for a long time.
Xu Qingxiao was granted the title of Marquis.
The scene is grand and the etiquette is complicated. You have to go to the palace at the Zi hour to burn incense and bathe. At the Mao hour, the Marquis Ceremony is held.
Xu Qingxiao will also wear royal robes and be canonized.
Every procedure cannot be saved and must be done grandly.
A quarter of an hour later.
Xu Qingxiao left with the eunuchs and maids.
When we arrived at the palace, the bathhouse had already been prepared.
After washing for nearly half an hour, figures appeared one after another.
The palace maids brought the marquis uniforms.
Li Xian stood outside the bath and shouted loudly.
"The gilded black python embroidered cloud suit has arrived."
"The belt of eight jade and ten thousand treasures has arrived."
"Qilin jade boots have arrived."
"The Panlong King has arrived."
"The jade crown of mountains and rivers has arrived."
As Li Xian opened his mouth, pieces of clothing were presented to him.
These are all custom-made by the Ministry of Etiquette. Each piece is made by hundreds of people with needlework and is studded with various kinds of gemstones, which makes them look grand without being tacky.
"Master Marquis, the uniform has arrived. You can get out of the bath and change."
Li Xian spoke up and said with great respect.
In the pool.
Xu Qingxiao was still thinking about the central idea.
After hearing this again.
Xu Qingxiao came to her senses and asked everyone to leave.
After all, Xu Qingxiao was not used to others helping her when changing clothes and the like.
When you are ugly.
Change your clothes.
At this moment, a spontaneous momentum formed.
Xu Qingxiao before was dressed in plain clothes and full of Confucianism and Taoism.
But now that Xu Qingxiao is wearing the robes, she has a domineering air and the aura of a superior person.
It cannot be said that he is a different person, but he has gained an extra dignity.
A dignity that makes people truly awe.
The momentum of a king.
The maids and eunuchs in the palace also showed surprise and awe in their hearts.
Of course, Xu Qingxiao's handsomeness has not been affected at all, and instead looks more mature and steady.
finally.
It's time to arrive.
As a bell rang, it spread throughout the capital of the Wei Dynasty.
The ceremony of ennobling the marquis was chosen outside the main entrance of the palace, where there was a main road.
At this time, countless people had already gathered, and many people stayed up all night, wanting to witness this grand event.
Xu Qingxiao was also arranged to go to the secret passage. Then he would appear from Dongzhimen and walk step by step to the palace door. The palace door would also open and he would be awarded the title of Marquis.
Now it's just a formality for the people all over the world to see.
At three quarters of a hour.
As a beam of light shot from the palace to the sky.
The sky suddenly became bright.
At this moment, an extremely loud voice sounded.
"The Canonization Ceremony."
"start!"
When the sound sounds.
The sound of music resounded throughout Kyoto, and the streets were crowded with people on both sides of the main roads. The people were extremely excited and excited.
The Imperial Army stood on both sides to maintain order and at the same time build an image.
Dongzhimen Avenue.
Xu Qingxiao's figure also slowly appeared.
Behind him were five hundred palace ladies and five hundred eunuchs, scattering flowers and playing music.
The canonization ceremony began.
However.
this moment.
In the prison.
A figure looked extremely panicked, rolling and crawling towards the punishment department.
