Although martial arts are flourishing in Jiuzhou and Confucianism and Buddhism are in decline, there are still some famous Confucian scholars among Confucianism. Xu Jingye is one of them. He is almost a household name in Yanyun Prefecture!
It is said that this representative figure of Yanyun Confucianism studied under Fang Cunxin, a great Confucian of the previous dynasty, since he was a child. He entered the Hanlin Academy at the age of fifteen and became the seat of the Royal Academy at the age of twenty. He is famous for his profound knowledge, integrity and outspokenness.
He went through the two dynasties of Yan, Guangwu, and Longwu, but his official career was extremely bumpy. He was repeatedly reprimanded because of his direct admonitions. He suffered several declines and came back, but he always adhered to his true heart and loyalty, so he was admired by countless people!
No one thought that such a person would take his family to camp in this ancient temple in the wilderness.
Facing the menacing warning of the old man in black robe, Xu Jingye looked calm and said: "Three months ago, I asked your Majesty to strengthen the border guards and send strong soldiers and generals to enrich the passes. Your Majesty ordered me to guard Jingnan Lingyang. This must be the reason.
It’s something that the seven Lingyang families don’t want to see.”
"It's good that you know!" The old man in black robe smiled and said: "Xu Yushi, you should understand that the position of Lingyang City Guards is not for outsiders. The emperor has clearly pushed you into the fire pit, otherwise how could you have been together?
Even the guards and soldiers of the Yi Zhang are not assigned to you?"
"Such an emperor is not worthy of your allegiance, so I advise you to leave in time and find a place to settle down and live comfortably. It is better than destroying yourself!"
He took off the backpack hidden in his cloak with his backhand and threw it in front of Xu Jingye: "Here is a thousand taels of gold, which is a gift from my employer. It is your choice whether you live or die!"
Xu Jingye didn't even look at the heavy bag on the ground, and said in a deep voice with piercing eyes: "Xu was deeply favored by the late emperor. He once swore to assist His Majesty and devoted himself to it. Now that he has the emperor's mandate, how can he give up halfway!"
"I advise you and the master behind you to give up on this idea. Even if Ling Yang is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I, Xu Jingye, will still have a chance!"
The old man in black robe was stunned for a moment. Then he got angry and said: "Xu Jingye, I respect you as a great scholar of the generation who is good at persuading you. Don't be ignorant of praise. Aren't you afraid of death? Aren't you afraid of harming your family?"
The shouts were like thunder. The innate pressure surged like the roar of the sea, and the two guards suddenly couldn't hold on and retreated continuously.
But under the intimidation of the old man in black robes, Xu Jingye still stood firm as a rock, with his hair and beard spread out and said sternly: "There is righteousness in the world! If I were greedy for life and afraid of death, I would not stand here today!"
"The so-called noble families are nothing but cowards of the country. They rely on you and other dogs to show off their power and kill the people. Scholars are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of death! You want to force me to bend my knees with death. How arrogant and ridiculous!"
He was obviously just an old man with no strength. However, the awe-inspiring righteousness that he burst out actually overwhelmed the innate strength of the old man in black robe. Under the angry scolding, the old man in black robe actually took two steps back involuntarily!
It is said that in ancient times, the sages and great Confucian scholars cultivated their energy through reading, and those with advanced cultivation were not afraid of all evils, and could compete with martial and Taoist cultivators with ordinary bodies without falling behind.
Xu Jingye's unyielding character is vaguely the integrity and demeanor of the ancient Confucian scholars.
Qin Yun, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but trembled, because Xu Jingye's sonorous words suddenly reminded him of the Haoran Righteousness Technique he had obtained from the Iron Volume Pill Book!
Since being promoted to the innate realm, Qin Yun has also tried to practice the Haoran Zhengqi Jue. However, he seems to understand many of the formulas in it. He knows the words but does not understand the true meaning, and he has no way to start learning them.
But now listening to Xu Jingye's sonorous and powerful voice and feeling the righteousness he exudes, Qin Yun's true secret words in his memory seemed to be suddenly activated, becoming clearer and clearer one by one, and he even vaguely grasped a hint of the secret.
!
The old man in black robe suddenly realized that he had made a fool of himself after taking two steps back. He never expected that he would be overpowered by the momentum of a Confucian scholar. He simply disgraced a naturally strong man.
In embarrassment, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand: "In that case..."
"stop!"
At this time, someone shouted loudly: "As a warrior, how can you attack ordinary people, and you are also the great scholar Xu Yushi? Aren't you afraid of being reviled by the world?"
The voice was clear and sweet. Although it was full of excitement and anger, it was still very pleasant to hear.
What?
The old man in black robe couldn't help but show a ghostly expression - astonishment, disbelief and a hint of amusement.
He slowly turned around and saw a girl in a red dress pointing a long sword at him at the entrance of the hall. Her pretty face turned red, but her left arm was tightly held by her terrified companion.
.
The old man in black robe suddenly laughed: "Young girl is brave. I wonder which family you are a disciple of? Do you know who I am?"
His eyes were full of amusement, like a bad wolf looking at the little white rabbit.
However, the girl in the red dress became more and more excited. She struggled to break free from the pull of her companions, took a step forward and said, "I don't know who you are, but we Juyi League disciples will never allow people like you to do evil!"
She knew a little bit about it, and understood that she and the others were definitely no match for the old man in black robes, so she looked at the group of merchant guards and said, "We are all going together, are we still afraid of him alone?"
The girl in the red dress fully thought that under her instigation, the guarding warriors would definitely unite with the enemy.
But the guarding warriors all looked away. The most powerful middle-aged man had a sullen face and said nothing. On the contrary, the businessman huddled in the innermost room screamed: "You said it nicely. Every wrongdoer has his own debtor. This
What does it have to do with us?”
The merchants paid money to hire samurai to protect their bodyguards, so they were naturally hung up on matters that had nothing to do with them. They didn't even have time to hide. How could they dare to provoke this old man in black robes whose strength was unfathomable?
"What? He killed one of you!" The girl in the red dress couldn't believe her ears.
"Hehe!" The old man in black robe said with a chuckle: "As long as they can take care of themselves, there are a few people who are still doing chivalry and righteousness these days! Juyi League? It's just a leftist group composed of several small sects. I can
Let me tell you, even if your alliance leader comes, if he sees me, he must get out of here!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand to the other party.
The skinny palm was shaped like an eagle's talon, but there was a faint red light, and it looked like it was covered in blood!
Seeing such a scene, the middle-aged man's pupils suddenly shrank and he said in a voiceless voice: "The bloody-handed people will slaughter Wanxiong!"
The bloody-handed men massacred all the heroes!
The faces of more than half of the people in the hall changed drastically, and several of the companions of the girl in the red dress were even more discouraged. They turned around and ran towards the door, completely ignoring the wind and rain raging outside.
The name "Blood Hand Human Slaughter" can stop children from crying at night in the south of Dayan. It is said that he was once a disciple of the Yangming Sect. He killed his master because he was dissatisfied with the punishment of the sect. Later, he escaped from the sect's pursuit many times and became stronger and stronger.
.
Tu Wanxiong is cruel and murderous by nature. He has always been a loner, and his whereabouts are mysterious and erratic. As long as he can afford the price, anyone can hire him to kill people and buy goods. There is no principle at all!
What he likes to do most is to use his left hand to dig out the enemy's heart alive and watch the opponent die in pain. Over the decades, countless people have died in his hands, including many innate masters.
Such a vicious and evil old demon was definitely not something that the eight or ten people present could deal with together.
The girl in the red dress was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that her classmate would be so frightened that she would leave her behind.
"Run quickly, we are no match for him!"
However, a companion just ran to the door and turned back again. He desperately grabbed the girl's arm and dragged her outside, ignoring her struggles and shouts.
However, Tu Wanxiong did not take action against them. He retracted his left paw and faced Xu Jingye again with a very cold face: "It's getting late. Since you don't listen to my advice, let me send you on your way!"
Xu Jingye had no fear and just sighed: "I didn't expect that I would die here today. I don't regret my own death. Please let my children and grandchildren go!"
Tu Wanxiong pulled out a cold sneer from the corner of his mouth and said: "Don't worry, I will take good care of your son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren. I will let them die slowly in pain without wailing for three days and three nights."
I can't stop being angry, it's a pity that you can't see this wonderful scene..."
He licked his lips, his eyes full of perverted ferocity and cruelty, as if that was the most wonderful scene!
"you!"
Xu Jingye was so angry that his thin body couldn't help but tremble, but it was definitely not because of fear.
The scholar and his wife held their children together and stood behind him.
Although the two of them were very frightened, their faces were full of firm determination. The scholar held a dagger in his left hand, and the young woman held a sharp silver hairpin in her slender hand, obviously preparing to commit suicide at a critical moment.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
Just when Tu Wanxiong was about to take action, a low voice suddenly came from the side!
The next moment, streaks of green sword light slashed diagonally towards Tu Wanxiong's side. The force was fierce but silent, and the speed was extremely fast.
But Tu Wanxiong was obviously on guard, and he didn't see how he moved. The long sword unsheathed and suddenly released a red sword energy, facing the green sword light!
The two sword energies collided head-on, canceling each other out and annihilating each other in an instant. The result was an even score.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Jingye's two guard warriors immediately covered him and his family as they retreated.
Tu Wanxiong did not stop him.
The slender silver sword he held in his hand pointed obliquely at the ground, his eyes turned to the person who was emitting a green sword light towards him, and he said in a cold voice: "Tianbao Master, you finally couldn't help it anymore, but as a Qi Refiner like you,
If you dare to interfere in my affairs, are you not afraid of death?"
The person who attacked Tu Wanxiong turned out to be the sloppy old Taoist who had been hiding in the corner of the hall... Thanks to the wind of Tianya Tiandi, 0313 Tianwang, Xie Zhixiu and other friends for their rewards (to be continued., you are welcome to vote for recommendations)
