After chatting for a while about the details that need to be paid attention to when promoting, Su Wen asked about the situation in Guixu.
Shen Buhao paid more attention to the changes in the war situation than Su Wen. He would often get close to the lobster people and get some news.
"not optimistic……"
Shen Buhao shook his head repeatedly: "The first line of defense of Wenling Palace completely collapsed. All the fortresses and barriers developed in the past few hundred years were lost, and the Zhenyuan Army suffered heavy losses."
"Where are the extraordinary people from hundreds of schools of thought?"
Su Wen didn't care about Wenling Palace's loss of power. Wenling Palace had gained great benefits from Guixu for thousands of years, so the sacrifice at this time was natural.
"There are still a lot of prisoners..."
Mentioning the extraordinary people of hundreds of schools, Shen Buhao showed a sad face: "My mentor was also captured... and was locked in a pool. Yesterday, I saw him again yesterday, but he was very stubborn. He would rather break than bend. I wish Xu and Wei Snake left the pool and spat on my face."
"..."
Su Wen opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end nothing came out. He did not expect that Dongguo Mu, the headmaster of Tianshi Academy, was also captured by the Lobster Man.
This means that the situation of the Hundreds of Transcendents in Guixu is very bad.
"...In the eyes of the extraordinary beings locked in the pool, we have all become rebels. Su Wen...if we can't solve this problem, even if we leave this place, we will be in constant trouble in the future."
After hesitating for a long time, Shen Buhao finally expressed his inner problems.
After realizing this problem, Shen Buhao planned to secretly kill everyone who knew that he was being treated favorably by the lobster people, especially Jiang Wenxin and this group of Confucian scholars.
Even Xie Xun and the Nightmare people who were saved by Su Wen were on Shen Buhao's elimination list.
Since Su Wen told him his promotion plan, Shen Buhao also told him his plan. He believed that Su Wen would support his idea and kill people together to avoid future troubles.
"...In your plan...Mr. Dongguo, too?" Su Wen took a breath.
"this……"
Shen Buhao frowned.
After all, Dongguo Mu was his mentor. As a Legalist scholar, he knew very well what consequences would come from doing such a thing.
When legal scholars violate worldly laws, they can naturally use loopholes in some laws and rules to avoid relevant punishments.
But...the most difficult thing for Legalist scholars is to ask themselves.
"a bit difficult……"
Shen Buhao smiled bitterly and said, "But otherwise..."
"Don't think so extreme about everything."
Su Wen patted Shen Buhao on the shoulder and said calmly: "The wisest thing to do as a human being is not to try to cover up the previous mistakes with other mistakes. In this way, the consequences will only become more serious, and ultimately your life will be ruined." They were all completely destroyed.”
After a pause, Su Wen continued: "Besides, we didn't do anything wrong! Did we take refuge with the Lobster People? Did we help the Lobster People to harm our compatriots? No, we just taught the Crayfish how to read and write. The saints have said that there is no such thing as education, what kind of fault is this? Besides, the most important point is that it was precisely because of our actions that Long Aotian released many prisoners and treated the extraordinary beings in the brood kindly. Wherever we made mistakes, we made meritorious deeds."
"...It seems...that's the truth."
After hearing what Su Wen said, Shen Buhao felt much relieved.
It's just... he and Su Wen have similar experiences. Su Wen can think of this, why can't he?
"Because I always knew what I was doing, and you didn't..."
Su Wen shook his head: "From the moment you left the pool, you felt that you had betrayed the human race. In other words, you felt that others thought you had betrayed the human race. In other words, your heart was not strong enough... or in other words, you felt that others thought you had betrayed the human race. In other words, your heart was not strong enough... , not magnanimous enough.”
"It makes sense..." Shen Buhao responded bitterly: "Is this the reason why I have never been able to complete the fifth sequence ceremony?"
"That's your problem."
Su Wen smiled calmly: "When we return to the ground with enough people, who will doubt your original intention?"
"That's right..." Shen Buhao sighed: "I have learned a lesson."
After getting rid of his heartache, Shen Buhao suddenly remembered something and whispered: "It is said that the hundreds of extraordinary people have not gained nothing. It seems that after a battle between Cheng Zi and the strong lobster people, he severely injured several purple lobster people and started the sequence. The seventh promotion ceremony, I just don’t know if it was successful... There is also news about Qian Shanchang, he seems to have completed the sequence six ceremony recently and has become a sub-sage."
"……What?"
When Su Wen heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
Regardless of Cheng Zi's Sequence 7 or Qian Haoran's Sequence 6, Su Wen found it extremely difficult. However, he did not expect that the two of them found opportunities in Guixu.
"This is a good thing..."
Su Wen, who came back to his senses, was also filled with joy.
If Qian Haoran is promoted to Yasheng from the academic direction, he will only be able to complete the promotion by challenging Cheng Zi.
With Qian Haoran's ability, the possibility of success in challenging Cheng Zi is not high. If he wins, Cheng Zi will not be able to maintain his Confucian path, and his strength will inevitably be greatly damaged, or even his body and soul will disappear. For the entire Confucian sect, it is not What a good thing.
Now the two of them have found opportunities for promotion in Guixu, and they have avoided a debate. It is a win-win situation.
"There should be people from other schools who have been successfully promoted, right?"
Su Wen asked.
"This is not clear..."
Shen Buhao sighed and said: "You also know that the lobster people except Confucianism, other extraordinary people don't pay attention to them at all. How could they pay attention to these news? When I was delivering food to my teacher today, his old man After confirming the information given to me by the lobster man, I found out that the two Confucian extraordinary beings were actually Cheng Zi and Qian Shanchang... It seems that I am going to change my name now and call him Qian Zi... Hey, why is this a weird title? of? "
Su Wen turned his head and ignored Shen Buhao.
The word "子" is added before the last name of a strong person at the sub-sage level, and it is an honorific title.
It's just that the surnames of these Confucian sages seem to be okay, but after the suffix "zi", the style changes, Chengzi, Taozi... and Qianzi, the first two are okay, but the fruit, Qian Haoran, Qianzi, It sounds really weird.
"I guess the teacher doesn't like people talking about money when they open their mouths, but talk about money when they keep silent..."
Su Wen thought to himself and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
You know, how many extraordinary people want to have this kind of trouble, but they can only look up to it throughout their lives.
"Arrange for me to meet Dongguoshan..."
After Su Wen thought deeply, he finally decided to include Dongguo Mu in the plan.
To escape from the nest, one must have a powerful enough extraordinary person to join him. Before, Su Wen could only trust Jin Kaila.
Nightmare's strength is not weak, but Su Wen doesn't trust her enough. She must not be allowed to participate in the plan at the beginning.
Su Wen trusted Xie Xun's character, but after observation, Su Wen found that Xie Xun couldn't hide secrets and would often speak out his innermost feelings accidentally. Before the plan was implemented, Su Wen didn't even think about it.
Consider letting him participate so as to prevent Xie Xun from doing bad things with good intentions.
…
It is easy for Su Wen to meet Dongguo Mu.
Many Lobster people saw Long Aotian's change in attitude towards Su Wen and took it to heart.
On the first day Su Wen went to teach Crayfish, Long Aotian called him sir and recognized that Su Wen had a great talent. Within a few days, the two began to call each other brothers, and Su Wen even mentioned a sentence lightly, Long Aotian
Will do it with great fanfare.
For example, Su Wen only mentioned that literati like to take "Five Stone Powder". Recently, Long Aotian has been thinking about a version of Five Stone Powder that can satisfy the "literati and elegant guests" of the lobster tribe.
In a few days, the "Five Stone Powder" prepared by Long Aotian had poisoned seven or eight lobster men who gave Long Aotian the medicine to test. Many lobster men became pale when they talked about "Five Stone Powder".
After several lobstermen died, Long Aotian also learned from the painful experience and raised the strength standard of the lobstermen for the test from the strength equivalent to that of a human Sequence 3 extraordinary person to Sequence 4, and even captured a few red lobstermen to help test it.
medicine.
Long Aotian didn't hesitate to save the lives of his fellow humans and all kinds of scarce materials, and he actually allowed him to magically modify a "Five Stone Powder". After trying it on his own, he thought it was very good. Su Wen didn't see it for a few days.
I just hid and tried the medicine.
"Mr. Su... Dongguo Mu... has been arrested..."
Two red lobsters carried the wet Dongguo Mu and dragged him in front of Su Wen.
"Hey! You can be killed or beheaded as you like. I would rather die than surrender, and I would rather break than bend!" Both lobster men have considerable strength of sequence five. Dongguo Mu, whose strength was suppressed by the brood, could not move, so he could only curse: "If I still have breath,
, just try to persuade me to surrender..."
"Chief Dongguo is so kind. Send him to my place first."
Su Wen discovered that the lobster man did not check Dongguo Mu's identity in detail, nor did he provide special supervision, so he tried to take him away.
"OK……"
The lobster man readily agreed.
Dongguo Mu's Sequence 5 strength is considered top-notch among the human race, but to the lobster people, it is nothing.
And Su Wen had taken away quite a few extraordinary beings from the pool before, even Dagon, a Sequence Six, without causing any trouble. Taking away an extraordinary person from another race would not be a big deal.
All high-level lobster people know that the high priest gave Su Wen an incredible treasure two days ago. This treasure can easily suppress the lobster people. From this, it can be seen that the high priest has regarded Su Wen as a
Since they are their own people, they naturally don't need to be wary of Su Wen.
After all, the high priest is so wise, and he can naturally rest assured that he is a person who has been confirmed by the old man.
"I won't leave!" Dongguo Mu was really stubborn. When he saw Su Wen, he also yelled: "You are Su Wen! Are you, a Confucian scholar who talks about benevolence, justice and morality, going to betray the human race?!"
