Chapter 2522 Master steps forward to stop the war!
A faint sigh echoed throughout the world.
The sound was very soft, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present, instantly making people feel as calm as water.
The next second, a figure walked out of the crack in the void.
That's an old man!
He has gray hair, a kind face, and a white beard on his chin. He is wearing a simple robe, which has been washed white and has a few patches, but it is very clean.
The old man's figure is not burly, and he is even a little thin, but he exudes a kind of restrained strength, as if he has experienced countless winds, frosts, rain and snow in the torrent of time, and appears to be tenacious.
He is very old, and his eye sockets are sunken, but his eyes are deep and bright, like stars, shining with the light of wisdom.
"Master!"
When Cao Potian saw the old man, his eyelids jumped wildly, and then he clenched his fists tighter, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
That's right, this old man is the second-ranked man on the Shenglong Ranking, the Master of Jixia Academy - the Confucius!
"Whoosh!"
Master took one step in the air and appeared on the city wall of Yannan Pass. Suddenly, all the pressure released by Cao Potian seemed to dissipate.
"Master!"
When Ning'an saw the Master, his face was full of joy. Then he bent down to salute and said respectfully: "Disciple pays homage to Master."
Kong Tianxia also bent down, saluted meticulously, and said respectfully: "Meet Master."
Through their actions, others also knew the origin of this old man.
"What, that old man is the Master?"
"It is said that Master, he has not left Jixia Academy for many years, why are he here today?"
"Needless to say, I must be here for his two disciples."
"Now we're in trouble. Master is here. I'm afraid Senior Cao won't be able to kill Ning An and Kong Tianxia."
The hearts of the officers and soldiers of Wei Dynasty sank.
I originally thought that this battle would be over soon, but unexpectedly, the master came at the critical moment.
"Master ranks second on the Shenglong List, while Senior Cao ranks seventh."
"Senior Cao is no match for Master."
"That's not necessarily true. When the rankings were announced on the Shenglong Ranking, Senior Cao was only at the peak of the Great Sage, but now, Senior Cao has broken through to the Saint King realm."
"Master reached the realm of Saint King many years ago and has lived for 12,000 years. He is definitely stronger than Senior Cao."
"Don't forget, Master is so old, and Senior Cao is much younger than him. If we really want to fight to the death, Master may not be Senior Cao's opponent."
"..."
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were also discussing.
"Master is here, it's great."
"Now we are saved."
"Master is so kind and will never allow Cao Potian to kill the princess and Master Kong."
"..."
Niu Dali looked at his master, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but it passed away briefly.
The Master looked at Kong Tianxia and said, "Didn't my master tell you to go back as soon as possible? What are you doing here?"
Kong Tianxia said: "Junior sister is guarding Yannan Pass, I want to help her."
The Master said: "As a senior brother, it is right to help my junior sister, but do you understand clearly that our Jixia Academy never participates in the disputes among the Three Kingdoms? If you do this, you are taking sides and violates the purpose of our Jixia Academy."
Kong Tianxia said: "These disciples all understand, but..."
"Well, everything happens for a reason. I won't punish you this time. It won't be the same next time." The master then said: "Yes, once you become a saint, it seems that you have gained a lot from this trip to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"But don't waste your books, read more books by saints and sages, and continue to cultivate your righteousness."
"As long as you persist, you will gain more in the future."
Kong Tianxia said respectfully: "Disciple, please follow Master's teachings."
It was only then that the master's eyes fell on Ning An, and he suddenly became softer, and said kindly: "Your father is also the same. It's a good idea to let you, a woman, guard the pass. What if something happens?
?”
Ning'an said: "As a member of the royal family, I am faced with a national crisis, so I should step forward."
The Master asked: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Afraid!" Ning An said, "But I have no way out. For the sake of the soldiers of Dazhou and the people of Dazhou, I can't retreat even if I'm scared."
"If I really die here, I will die without regrets. I will die to protect my homeland and I will die well."
At this point, Ning An laughed: "Besides, master, aren't you here? Are you willing to die without saving me?"
The master stretched out his hand, scraped Ning An's nose lovingly, and said with a smile: "Did you calculate that I will come?"
"That's not true." Ning An smiled and said, "I'm not a roundworm in Master's belly, how do I know Master will come? However, Master loves me and Senior Brother so much, I think you will definitely show up when we are in danger.
of."
The Master smiled and said, "So your father sent you to guard Yannan Pass, and he also guessed that I would appear?"
Ning An knew that his father's little thoughts could not be hidden from his master, so he immediately took out a letter written by the Emperor of Zhou and handed it to his master.
"Master, before the army set off, my father wrote a personal letter and asked me to deliver it to you if I see you."
The Master took the letter, opened it, glanced at it, and then stuffed the letter into his sleeve.
"Master, what did my father say in the letter?" Ning An asked curiously.
Boom!
The Master lightly tapped Ning An on the head and said, "Children should stop asking about adults' matters."
Ning An pouted and said, "This disciple is not young anymore."
"You're not young anymore. You're going to get married soon." The master said, "It's just that you, my future husband..."
"What happened to Changsheng?" Ning An looked nervous, thinking that the Master looked down on Ye Qiu.
The Master smiled and said, "You have found a good future husband."
Hearing this, Ning An smiled like a flower and said arrogantly: "Of course, my disciple's vision is very bright."
The Master smiled and said, "Look how happy you are."
"By the way, Master, Chang Sheng said that he would like to meet you when he gets the chance." Ning An said.
The master said: "See you again when you have the chance. It is better to resolve this matter now!"
After saying that, the master glanced at Niu Dali and nodded slightly.
"I've met Master." Niu Dali lowered his head quickly, feeling like he had been seen through.
Rumble——
At this moment, the Great Emperor's battle formation in the void shrank back into the clouds and disappeared.
While the master was talking to Ning An, Cao Potian stood in the void without making a sound or interrupting.
After a while.
The master turned around, looked at Cao Potian, cupped his hands, and said, "Master Cao, it's been a long time."
"Junior has met the Master." Cao Potian returned the greeting with a raised hand. For this highly respected model of literati in Central China, he addressed himself as a junior, which seemed very polite, and then said: "After seeing each other for a thousand years, Master's style is still the same.
