The Master of the Zhengqi Academy smiled and said: "The Emperor is as wise as the sea, so naturally the attitude of this Academy cannot be concealed."
Smart people don't need to say much. They both know each other's needs well. So, Li Xing made it clear: "In short, the Hunyuan Empire will not let Zhengqi Academy down. However, Bailu Cave must be in the near future.
I will also visit him. If he hands over the "Confucian Classics", I wonder what the president's attitude will be."
The master of the Zhengqi Academy smiled: "If the "Confucian Classics" is obtained, the Zhengqi Academy will immediately start preparations to fight for the hegemony of the Holy Confucians. How will there be time to interfere with other parties' affairs? The emperor is overly worried. And I am sure that the White Deer Cave will not be broken in advance.
If you hand it over, you will only use it as a lure to make me work for you."
Li Xing nodded: "It seems that the master's intention has been made clear. The rest depends on what the people below say."
After saying that, both of them laughed. Li Xing had already inquired clearly about the affairs of Zhengqi Academy. The master of Zhengqi Academy did not have the final say in this academy alone, because there were other Eighteen Classics Kings.
The so-called Eighteen Classics Kings refer to the eighteen old masters who have studied a certain Confucian classic so deeply that no one can surpass them. They are all the pinnacles in a certain field. However, the more such people are, the more stubborn they will be.
, it is difficult to convince.
This is the reason why Li Xing brought three Confucian and Taoist great gods along with him. Their work was not the master of the Zhengqi Academy, but the eighteen Sutra Kings.
Next, there was nothing more going on between Li Xing and Master Zhengqi. The two talked about some cultivation matters, told some interesting stories about the mainland, drank tea, ate fruits, and then listened to the heated debate between the two sides.
Eighteen kings of scriptures, all of whom are masters of scriptures, are as wise as the sea, quote scriptures, are upright and majestic, follow the will of heaven above, and focus on the hearts of the people below. They use morality as the criterion and legal principles as the basis. After hearing Li Xing's continuous praise, he thought about what he would do in the future.
Several old Confucian scholars were introduced from Zhengqi Academy to teach and educate people in the Hunyuan Empire.
However, the people brought by Li Xing were not vegetarians. They relied on facts and interests as the axis. They understood the Eighteen Classics accurately and had the desire to dominate the Holy Confucian Continent. Their momentum actually overwhelmed the opponent.
There are only two points of contention between the two sides. The first is whether the Holy Confucian Continent should stand by and watch Bailu Cave. Doing so will obliterate the so-called "righteousness" of Zhengqi Academy.
In response to this, Dali Tianzun said seriously: "The so-called righteousness is based on righteousness. The righteousness of heaven and earth lies in the hearts of the people. The carelessness of the people is naturally in the hands of the millions of people in the Xuanhuang Continent. I, the Hunyuan Empire, have ruled the Xuanhuang Continent.
Nine times out of ten, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, everyone will cultivate themselves, their wisdom will gradually increase, civilization will become more prosperous, their cultivation will become higher and higher, the world will be peaceful, and hundreds of millions of people will prosper."
"If the Hunyuan Empire cannot unify Xuanhuang, it will often lose its territory in the southwest, and wars will break out. I don't know how many people will die and how many people will be displaced. If it is not the Hunyuan Empire, Bailu Cave will also use up all its personnel and financial resources, and eventually it will still be destroyed.
Destruction. How can Zhengqi Academy be protected forever?"
"Besides, even if I, the Great Emperor, are full of vigor and young, have already cultivated countless great deities, created my own civilization, and established my own Taoism, I will have a bright future in the future. Even if the White Deer Cave is small, no matter how many people guard it, it will fail sooner or later.
.”
The three of them spoke with lotus-like tongues, telling facts and reasoning, every word was heart-breaking, and every sentence was eye-catching, which made the eighteen sutra kings frown. In terms of so-called "righteousness", it seemed that they could no longer suppress each other.
The second focus of the debate is whether Zhengqi Academy should obtain the "Confucian Classics" under the guise of the Hunyuan Empire. The scripture kings believed that this was a shameful move and threatened Bailu Cave with interests.
Regarding this, Great Heavenly Lord Sizhu sighed: "The seniors have pure thoughts and boundless morals, and the juniors have great respect for them. However, in some things, the seniors seem to be a little stupid and corrupt. Just imagine, on the day when Bailu Cave was destroyed, "Confucianism"
Is it not certain that the "Confucian Classics" will fall into the hands of the empire? Our Lord is willing to hand over the "Confucian Classics" because he wants to have good relations with Zhengqi Academy for generations and help each other. Isn't this one of the reasons why the late Lord came to visit here?
"
The Great Master of Poetry and Painting also said: "The Hunyuan Empire is willing to hand over the "Chuan Jing" because in the Hunyuan Empire, hundreds of schools of thought contend, are inclusive, and embrace all rivers. Just like us, we have set up colleges in Xuanhuang Continent to discipline students and teach many Confucian scholars.
Confucian, I came here today because I want to ask for advice from my predecessors, hoping to send students from the Hunyuan Empire to consult scriptures and increase their knowledge. Maybe in the future, Confucianism will bloom everywhere in the Hunyuan Empire and prosper."
This argument made the Eighteen Classics kings secretly moved. This time, the scripture kings were persuaded by him again.
The debate lasted a long time, and both sides showed their abilities, but in fact there was only one purpose, which was to strive for the best interests of both sides, and to make one's side stand on a righteous stand.
Three days later, the first Sutra King among the Eighteen Sutra Kings smiled slightly and said to the three Great Heavenly Masters including Shi Hua: "Young people are to be feared. In the future, you can come to Zhengqi Academy often to learn from each other."
"Don't dare to communicate. It's true that the juniors want to come to read." Dali Tianzun said quickly.
Then both sides stopped talking and looked at each other's leader.
The master of the Zhengqi Academy smiled and said: "The emperor has many talented people, which are admirable. You and I already understand what happened today. I hope we can have a pleasant relationship in the future."
Li Xing said calmly: "The courtyard master is surrounded by a cloud of high-ranking people with countless abilities, which are envied by outsiders. What the courtyard master wants is also the original intention of the Hunyuan Empire, and must satisfy both parties."
"Okay, in that case, I will accompany the emperor to walk around and take a look at the scenery of the Holy Confucian Continent."
"I understand. There are important things in Xuanhuang Continent that have not been completed. I have no time to separate myself. I will definitely come and disturb you when I have time in the future."
Shortly after the Emperor-class battleship left the Zhengqi Academy, a group of people sent by Bailu Cave met with the Master of the Zhengqi Academy, but were told that the Master of the Zhengqi Academy had already retreated and could not be disturbed.
Bailudong suddenly became anxious. A pavilion master said: "I have a big matter to discuss with you. Can you please invite the King of Eighteen Sutras?"
The receptionist said: "The kings of the Eighteen Sutras protect the Dharma for the master of the courtyard, so you can't be distracted."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. They had a premonition of something. They didn't stay long and returned directly to Bailu Cave. When they saw the master of Bailu Cave, they told the story. The master of Bailu Cave sighed: "Emperor Hunyuan has already convinced Zhengqi Academy.
There is no hope for reinforcements."
The Great Elder sternly said: "The Righteous Academy is in vain! They clearly know that Bailu is in danger if they don't help, but they still stand by and watch. It's really hateful!"
The Lord of Bailu Cave waved his hand and said: "The only thing that Zhengqi Academy wants to think about is the Confucian Classics. Emperor Hunyuan must have agreed to this condition. If Bailu Cave fails, the scriptures will definitely fall into his hands. This is a great match for Zhengqi Academy."
For me, there is no risk, and you can also make a powerful friend as a friend. If you were me, I would do the same."
"Cave Master, what should we do? Are we going to defend the White Deer Cave?" Everyone's expressions were not very pretty.
The master of Bailu Cave was silent for a long time and said, "The old cave master has sent a message."
Everyone was shocked and immediately fell silent, wanting to know what the old cave master had to say.
The master of Bailu Cave sighed: "The old cave master said that the Hunyuan Empire has become a general trend, and he has no way to save it. Tomorrow, he will go to the Hunyuan Empire to gain more benefits for Bailu Cave."
Everyone changed their colors: "Does the old cave master want to surrender to the Hunyuan Empire?"
The master of Bailu Cave looked sad: "This is exactly what the old cave master meant, and I also have the same idea. In fact, the goal of establishing Bailu Cave is to revive Xuanhuang. Now that Xuanhuang has become a unified force, this is probably another kind of
Renaissance, Xuanhuang civilization can still bloom in it."
An elder also spoke at this time: "I have long heard that the Hunyuan Empire is inclusive and integrates many civilizations. Our Xuanhuang civilization can definitely grow in it. This does not go against the original intention of Bailudong."
In fact, everyone understood that the fight would lead to defeat and the orthodoxy of Bailu Cave would be destroyed, so many people gradually accepted this suggestion. However, there were still some people who were so out of luck that they still held on to a bit of luck.
But at this moment, a subordinate of the great elder came to report and said to everyone: "Go back to the cave master, go back to the great elder, the Hunyuan Empire suddenly sent troops to the southeast, and the plundering Great Heavenly Lord did not appear."
After hearing this, the faces of those people who believed in the world suddenly fell down, and the last glimmer of hope in their hearts disappeared. They began to fall silent, which represented giving up.
But it is said that in the Hunyuan Empire, after Li Xing came back, the first thing he did was to attack the southeast. This southeast land is much smaller than the southwest, less than one-tenth of the southwest. Most of the people living here are plundering the big world
There are not many real masters among the people who have emerged.
However, due to the lustful power of the plundering Great Heavenly Lord, all the forces did not dare to provoke him. But Li Xing was not afraid. He had once taught the plundering Great Heavenly Lord a lesson to the monks in his plane, so there was no reason to be afraid.
As soon as the army arrived, it was overwhelming, and it took only one day to regain the southeast. The plundering Great Heavenly Lord did not appear, and the people here were killed and captured nine times out of ten, and they were all refined into fighting spirits by Li Xing.
Coming to the southeast, the harvest is not small, because the southeast has always been the place where Xuanhuang Crystal is produced. Xuanhuang Crystal is condensed from Xuanhuang Qi. Although it is not as precious as Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi, it still has many uses.
For example, Xuanhuang Crystal can be used to refine Xuanhuang Pill, which can help the Great Heavenly Lord understand Xuanhuang Civilization, and can also be used to refine some raw materials for talismans, etc. The value of a piece of Xuanhuang Crystal is not lower than that of an ancient creation pill.
Once the southeast was flat, the southwest became even more isolated. In addition, there were many hermits, and many believed that the environment of the Hunyuan Empire was stable, so they moved to the empire one after another and hid in the city.
On this day, an old man with an old face riding a white deer arrived at Hunyuan Hall.
In the main hall, Li Xing stood up to greet you and said: "Old cave master, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
This man was the son of Lao Xuanhuang, the former master of Bailu Cave. He cupped his hands and said: "I see Emperor Hunyuan."
Li Xing ordered someone to give him a seat and said with a smile: "Old cave master, I already understand your malicious intentions. If you have conditions, you can make them as long as they are not excessive."
The old cave master sighed: "It seems that my choice that day was wrong. You have the great fortune of heaven and earth. How can the son of Xuanhuang be your enemy? If you create your own civilization, you will definitely be able to enter the source of civilization in the future. The realm is far from
I can’t wait to reach it.”
Li Xing said calmly: "Old cave master, there is no need to be polite. If you have anything to say, just say it."
(I was tired last night, so I took a rest. Who would have thought that when I opened my eyes, it was four o'clock in the morning and I rushed out now. Alas, I am getting old.)
