Within the Confucian Sage Immortal Tower, rays of light emerged.
Song Zhi looked at the jade box that was constantly shaking after the Confucian righteousness was injected into it, and his heart felt calm.
The three jade boxes on the first level all contain extraordinary objects. They are a portrait of Mencius, a sword embryo of a saint, and three thousand divine inscriptions. They are all treasures and have many magical uses.
The first jade box in the second level opens the Sky Thunder Bottle, a top-grade magic weapon. It can condense thunder. It is an offensive magic weapon. It is very powerful. It can also be used to temper the body. Compared with other top-grade magic weapons, it has
It has more uses, but I’ve been busy lately and haven’t used it yet.
But each one is quite powerful, so Song Zhishu is also quite curious about what treasure this jade box can reveal.
Not long after, due to the influx of two hundred Confucian righteousness, the jade box suddenly exploded.
Finally, a palm-sized jade book emerged, exuding wisps of inexplicable aura, and then without stopping, it turned into a ray of light and sank directly into Song Zhishu's mind. Immediately afterwards, a piece of information emerged, letting Song Zhishu know
What is it.
"The Immortal Book of Good and Evil", as long as you obtain a person's Qi, and then inject the awe-inspiring Qi into the book, you can know that person's life experience, no matter how big or small, everything will be presented.
But the premise is that the person is completely dead. If not, it is useless, and the same applies to mortals.
"Knowing people's life experiences, observing from the perspective of a bystander, and distinguishing what is right and what is wrong?"
Song Zhishu thought in his mind and knew the specific function of the Immortal Book of Good and Evil. In other words, it was to know a person's life and past, as well as what happened to this person. It seemed like nothing, but he knew very well that the Immortal Book of Good and Evil
The effect may be greater than imagined.
To put it simply, everyone has their own secrets. If a dead monk knows where there are opportunities and good fortune, but missed them and did not get them, he can know them by opening the Immortal Book of Good and Evil.
Of course, in Song Zhishu's view, this was only secondary. More importantly, the Immortal Book of Good and Evil was also very important to his Confucian practice.
Now my Confucian cultivation is in the realm of knowing and doing. Knowing and doing means not just doing it after knowing it, but also acquiring new knowledge in the process of doing it. The two are complementary to each other and there is no sequence.
In the near future, Song Zhishu will leave Taihao Sword Sect and travel thousands of miles. Traveling does not mean simply walking and seeing, but knowing.
The Immortal Book of Good and Evil can provide you with more knowledge.
Because everyone is different, understanding others, confirming yourself, gaining knowledge from them, and finding the right one is the true knowledge and practice. For example, Song Zhishu also heard Mr. Wenyuan say before that some scholars who know the holy realm are only one step away from knowledge and practice.
One step, but there is still no breakthrough even after traveling thousands of miles. The reason is very simple, because it is just doing it, and there is no realization in the process.
"This Immortal Book of Good and Evil may play a vital role in my future practice in Confucianism. The most important thing for Confucians to enter the world is to have an insight into the world. The so-called self-cultivation, governing the country, and peace of the world, how to bring peace to the world? Is it just that?
Locking yourself in a room and wondering? No, if you want to govern the world, you must understand the original appearance of the world."
Song Zhishu was talking to himself and thinking. What happened during this period gave him more insights and ideas.
Thinking about things will not be as simple as before, but will be analyzed in depth. Although it will take time, you will gain more for yourself, just like opening the jade box and getting the book of good and evil, and understanding what can be used.
In line with the practice of knowing and doing.
"It seems that after traveling thousands of miles this time, there are more things to do."
Song Zhishu smiled, then no longer thought about it, but focused on the remaining two jade boxes. If he wanted to open the next one again, he would need five hundred Confucian righteousness. He had just used two hundred before, and there were still three left.
One hundred ways of Confucian righteousness are not enough to enlighten you.
So after thinking about it, he planned to transform all the remaining Confucian righteousness into Haoran righteousness.
Because I have just entered the Knowledge Saint Realm, there are many ways to obtain Confucianism in the future, and I am not in a hurry to open the Immortal Box. However, Haoran's righteousness is different and can be blessed with magic power to enhance the means of fighting the enemy.
I am about to leave the Sword Sect. There will be many unknown dangers outside, so strength is very important.
Later, through the portrait of Mencius, Song Zhishu condensed all the remaining 320 Confucian righteousness into 32 awe-inspiring righteousness, and adding the fifty he possessed, it became eighty-two awe-inspiring righteousness.
Eighty-two strands of awe-inspiring righteousness are condensed in the body, nourishing the meridians of Song Zhishu's body and all his limbs, and they are constantly flowing and endless.
Song Zhishu is confident that with these awe-inspiring righteousness, he can easily kill monsters of the same level.
After all, Confucian methods have inherent restraint against demons and demons.
After staying at the Confucian Sage Immortal Pagoda for a while.
Song Zhishu didn't say much, and left the Immortal Pagoda in a flash.
Opening his eyes and looking at the familiar room, Song Zhishu felt refreshed for a moment, and the physical and mental fatigue was swept away. In this state, in addition to the previous breath adjustment, Haoran's righteousness was quietly nourishing his body and energy.
God, the speed is faster than before.
That's it for the more than eighty strands of awe-inspiring righteousness. What about condensing 100 strands, 200 strands, or even 500 strands in the future?
Song Zhishu is also looking forward to this, but it is too early to think about it now.
After making some calculations in his mind, Song Zhishu closed his eyes again, and his soul swept over every piece of flesh and blood and every meridian in his body, finally stopping on the pale golden spiritual pool.
After breaking through the foundation building realm, I haven't observed it carefully yet. Now that the matter is settled, I can get familiar with it and explore it carefully.
Ordinary monks who have just completed their foundation building can only have three inches at most. Song Zhishu indeed has nine inches.
Moreover, the mana in the spiritual pool also has a light golden color.
Song Zhishu sensed it for a while and found that his magic power was extremely pure and strong. He was not at all like a monk who had just entered the foundation building. With a spiritual pool three times the size, how much higher would it be if they competed with each other?
Song Zhishu couldn't predict it because he had never really fought against the foundation-building monks.
However, judging from the situation of killing Bai Qiuyu before, he will have a great advantage since they are both in the early stage of foundation building.
Of course, this was what Song Zhishu discovered when he first broke through the realm. What he was really curious about was the white lotus planted in the spiritual pond. It was about nine inches long. But the difference was that Song Zhishu discovered that this white lotus was closed.
It is not in full bloom, it seems that it is like this after it is rooted in the spiritual pond.
"This white lotus appeared after I recited the Dao of the University, but what does its appearance mean?"
Song Zhishu thought about it and chose to inject Haoran's righteous energy into it to see if there were any changes.
The result was disappointing. After the injection of Haoran's righteousness, there was no abnormal movement in Bailian. Although it was caused by the power of Confucianism, it seems now that it has little to do with it.
But Song Zhishu did not give up, and chose to feed him with the magic power in the spiritual pool.
Buzz.
At this moment, the white lotus shook slightly,
"Is it effective?"
Song Zhishu was overjoyed and concentrated all the magic power in the spiritual pool into the white lotus.
As for the white lotus, it continued to emit streaks of rays of light during the process, which looked dazzling but had no other changes. However, Song Zhishu did not give up and continued.
Time passes bit by bit, and the mana in the spiritual pool is gradually decreasing.
Just like that, an hour passed.
Song Zhishu had already consumed 50% of his mana, and on the white lotus, a lotus leaf slowly bloomed.
"Do you want me to pour all my magic power into the white lotus?" Song Zhishu guessed, and after thinking for a moment, he chose to continue.
At other times, he would not do this, because if the mana in the body is completely exhausted, it will be very dangerous and he will enter a weak state, but now he is at home, so he is not worried.
Song Zhishu wanted to know what the function of this white lotus rooted in the spiritual pond was.
Soon, nearly two hours passed.
Song Zhishu was breathing heavily and his face was slightly pale. Due to excessive exertion, his body was almost exhausted. However, he did not pay attention and looked at the white lotus in the spiritual pond.
I saw that one piece of the white lotus had fully bloomed, and a pale golden light was flowing on the lotus leaves, but it didn't look dazzling, and the light was soft and seemed to pose no threat.
But Song Zhishu knew that all his magic power was stored in that lotus leaf and could be used at any time.
"One lotus leaf can store all the mana in my body once. There are nine white lotus leaves. Doesn't that mean I can store it nine times? Once completed, doesn't it mean that I can have nine times the mana? If plus
Lingchi, that’s ten times.”
Song Zhishu looked at the white lotus with a little shock in his eyes, because he truly understood the function of this white lotus.
In short, it allows you to store mana nine times and then use it at any time.
This is quite terrifying.
When monks fight enemies, apart from realm and means, the key lies in mana. The most obvious difference between low-level monks and high-level monks is the lack of mana. Once it is consumed, they are basically at the mercy of others.
But if there are nine times the mana in the body, it will be different. Unless the enemy's cultivation level is much higher than his own, otherwise he will fight purely with mana. Song Zhishu can be sure that there are few in the same realm who can match him, and he can even use magic pills.
You can crush the opponent with just mana.
Of course, Song Zhishu is very clear that this is when the difference is not big. If the difference is too big, besides the quantity of mana, the biggest difference is the quality. Just like a great monk who has condensed the golden elixir, a mana is equivalent to yours.
Ten channels, a hundred channels, nine times the mana stored in it are of little use.
"It's just that it's too troublesome to store it nine times and it takes a lot of time, so you can't try it easily. Unless there is a very long safety period, you have to keep it in peak condition at all times."
Song Zhishu thought about it and knew that letting the white lotus bloom with nine leaves should not be done lightly. Sometimes there are dangers in the Sword Sect, let alone other places.
But even so, this can still be used as one of his trump cards, which will be of great use at critical moments.
"All the mana has been consumed, so I need to take a good rest."
After understanding the role of white lotus, Song Zhishu looked at the dried up spiritual pond with a look of helplessness on his face. It would take some time to fully recover. Of course, you can also use Qi Condensing Pill, but it is not necessary.
Furthermore, with my current cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Qi Condensing Pill no longer has much effect.
It's just a waste if used.
Song Zhishu completely calmed down and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
At the same time, changes began to occur in Jianzong.
The news of Zhishu Song's execution of Bai Qiuyu spread throughout the Nine Cities almost immediately. All the disciples knew that that day caused a strange phenomenon in the world, and it was Zhishu Song who beat drums for the people at the bottom and the disciples, and denounced the restructuring.
This move made countless low-level disciples admire him, because the other party did what they had always wanted, and it also attracted the attention of the headmaster.
Therefore, on that day, the headmaster promulgated a decree and would resume taking charge of the sect. He directly ordered the Law Enforcement Hall to thoroughly investigate all injustices within the sect. No matter who is wronged, everyone must be tried and guilty, and the sect must be eliminated.
The unhealthy trend within the door.
At the same time, private demarcation of mountain patrol areas was no longer allowed, and the Law Enforcement Hall set up a special mountain patrol law enforcement team.
Once someone is found to have done this, they will be severely punished.
However, the sect's restructuring will still continue, but some details will be controlled and will not be as radical as before.
For a time, all the people at the bottom were excited, because after the sect was reorganized, many people had been treated unfairly, especially when the patrol area was divided, which made people dare not speak out.
Now that the sect has finally begun to deal with it, it is undoubtedly a good thing for those low-level disciples.
As several days passed, there were hundreds of outer sects, and even inner sect disciples were punished.
Everyone knew that this time it was for real.
"After enduring it for so long, I finally have a chance to vent my anger. My elixir was intercepted last time. Now I'm going to the Law Enforcement Hall to ask for an explanation."
"I'll go too. My spirit stones have been deliberately withheld several times by someone. That person is still an outer disciple, and he uses various excuses to frustrate me. I want to see what he says now."
"Headmaster is wise, it seems that life for us handyman disciples is a little easier."
In Mingyue City, many disciples gathered together to discuss.
Some people directly want to go to the law enforcement hall to ask for an explanation, and some people want to get back the stolen spiritual stones.
All in all, all those who have been treated unfairly now have the courage to face it head-on. After all, this is the decree issued by the leader himself, and no one dares to do something to use force to suppress others at this time.
"The headmaster is indeed wise, and we, the disciples, naturally respect him, but without Senior Brother Song's upright words, how could the sect have made changes so quickly."
"That's right, I heard from the senior brother in the Law Enforcement Hall that Senior Brother Song faced Senior Senior Brother that day without any fear and denounced the restructuring."
"Too strong. I declare that from now on, Senior Brother Song will be the target of my pursuit. Whenever there is injustice, I will speak out for justice."
"Me too."
Some disciples discussed it and deeply admired Song Zhishu’s actions in the law enforcement hall.
Because this was a grievance for low-level disciples like them, and it also made the sect make changes, and everyone benefited.
Because of this action, the disciples at the bottom began to be affected, gained the courage to resist, and began to resist the injustice they encountered. Some of the disciples regarded Zhishu Song as their target and wanted to act like Zhishu Song in the future.
"But it's a pity that I heard that Senior Brother Song has left the Sword Sect and may be leaving soon."
"Yes, the headmaster promised to become a true disciple, but Senior Brother Song still refused."
"Should we take this opportunity to thank Senior Brother Song?"
Someone suggested coming to thank him, but after some discussion, they decided to postpone it because many disciples knew that Song Zhishu entered the foundation-building realm that day. He thought that he was in a stable realm during this period and could not be disturbed.
So everyone unanimously decided to wait until later, thinking that there was no rush.
And this situation has affected not only Mingyue City, but also the nine cities of Sword Sect, because Song Zhishu's actions gave them hope, hope of fairness and justice.
Song Zhishu's name also began to be remembered by many low-level disciples of the Sword Sect.
However, Song Zhishu, who was in retreat, did not understand this.
He has been staying at home and has not chosen to go out. He is constantly adapting to his current cultivation level and at the same time facing his own shortcomings, because Song Zhishu plans to leave the Sword Sect in a while and needs to be prepared.
inside the room.
Song Zhishu opened his eyes, and his magic power had been completely restored.
"Right now, my cultivation is at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and so is my physique. The strongest one is Yuan Shen, which is comparable to the early stage of the Core Formation Realm. I think that with such strength when walking outside, as long as I am careful, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
Song Zhishu said to himself that during these days of seclusion, he had a general understanding of his own strength.
And next, I will make full preparations to leave the Sword Sect and travel thousands of miles.
They have all chosen to leave the Taihao Sword Sect.
You can't stay here forever, can you?
"I have all kinds of flying swords, magic weapons, etc., but for practicing outside, the most important thing is spirit stones. It took a lot of time to attack the foundation last time. Fortunately, during this time, I also engraved some low-grade spirit-level gems, about twenty in total.
, based on two thousand spiritual stones, it is more than forty thousand, which should be enough."
Song Zhishu did the math, then stood up and took out the low-grade spiritual gems that had been engraved before, intending to replace them all with spiritual stones.
Although it was only sold for 40,000 yuan, it’s not like there’s no way to make more money.
It is enough to carry these with you.
After making up your mind.
Song Zhishu tidied up for a while and then walked out the door.
Although he didn't know anything about the outside world, he also knew that things had been very noisy in the past few days, and his every move would obviously be noticed, so he kept a very low profile along the way, not wanting to attract attention.
Arrive at Qiyu Zhai.
When Manager Wang saw Zhishu Song arriving, he was immediately overjoyed and his face was filled with an extremely bright smile. He bowed to Zhishu Song on the main street and said, "I have met Master Song before."
"Manager Wang is so polite." Song Zhishu returned the courtesy, feeling that the other party was more enthusiastic than ever before, and he also knew the reason.
"You are really embarrassing me. Quickly, please follow me to the private room on the second floor. This person will prepare a pot of spiritual tea for you."
With that said, Wang Guan asked someone to make a pot of good tea.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, just do it the same as before."
Seeing this, Song Zhishu couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that he wouldn't be able to stay long without preparing spiritual tea.
"Master Song, you are a distinguished guest. This is what Qiyuzhai should do." But Wang Guanshi bowed and spoke. He went to the law enforcement hall to kill the outer disciples, angrily criticized the sect's restructuring, and the headmaster personally came to give the true disciples these things.
It spread throughout the nine cities.
Although Song Zhishu did not accept it and would leave Jianzong, in the eyes of Manager Wang and even all the people doing business in Mingyue City, the other party was already a real big shot, so how could he be negligent?
"All right."
Knowing that it was useless to stop him, Song Zhishu could only nod helplessly.
Then, under the leadership of Manager Wang, the two walked into the most luxurious private room on the second floor of Qiyuzhai.
A pot of spiritual tea has been prepared on the table, with spiritual energy lingering on it. It can be seen at a glance that this spiritual tea is of excellent quality and very expensive.
Soon, Song Zhishu sat down, and then took the twenty low-grade spiritual gems that had been engraved on him from the storage bag, and then said: "Would you please help me, King Steward, to exchange them for spiritual stones, and prepare ten more low-grade spiritual gems for me."
Baoyu, and there are five middle-grade spiritual-grade jade, so we won’t use credit this time and will directly deduct them from it.”
After Song Zhishu reached the realm of knowledge and action, his soul was already comparable to the realm of pill formation, so he could try to engrave mid-grade spiritual gems.
According to my prediction, I should be able to succeed, so I can be considered a second-level mid-level inscription master.
As for the ten extra low-grade spiritual-level jade he wanted, Song Zhishu wanted to keep them for himself, so that he could practice outside and have one more means and one more ability to protect himself.
"Master Song, please wait a moment. The little one will come as soon as he goes."
When Manager Wang heard this, he immediately bowed down and took away all the precious jade.
Not long after, he returned with a storage bag in his hand: "Master Song, there are 60,000 low-grade spiritual stones in here. Please count them. Everything you want is also in it."
"Sixty thousand?"
Song Zhishu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Isn't there two thousand spiritual stones for a low-grade spiritual gem? And I also want a low-grade spiritual gem and a middle-grade spiritual gem, so I should deduct them."
"Immortal Master Song doesn't know something. The jade you engraved on it is a hot commodity and is worth three thousand spiritual stones. Wouldn't twenty of them be equivalent to sixty thousand spiritual stones?"
Manager Wang smiled and explained: "Qiyuzhai's business has been booming these days because of the jade you engraved on it. The shopkeeper has previously told you to treat you as a distinguished guest, Master Song. As for the things you want, even if they are small, they will be given as personal gifts."
"Please Master Song, please don't refuse. This is a small wish."
Having said that, Manager Wang bowed directly, obviously having made a decision.
His idea is very simple. Now the entire Jianzong knows that Song Zhishu is extremely talented in Confucianism and will have extremely high achievements in the future. Even if he has to leave, if he can find a way to form a good relationship, there will be many benefits.
.
Manager Wang understands the meaning and has his own ideas. There are only a dozen gems and he knows which ones are more important.
"this"
Song Zhishu frowned slightly, but finally nodded, but continued: "However, those low-grade spiritual-level jade should be calculated as normal. Qiyuzhai opens its doors for business, and the cost must be recovered."
Although there were 20,000 more spiritual stones, Song Zhishu did not want to take advantage of such a small advantage. The other party had already given the jade as a gift in private, and it would not be good to take those spiritual stones again.
"Song Immortal Master, I'm sorry for talking too much, but your reputation in Jianzong is not what it used to be. You are a figure respected by many disciples. Most of our Qiyuzhai business depends on these people. If they know that Qiyuzhai accounts for
If we take advantage of you, we will not be able to continue our business."
Manager Wang was telling the truth. Nowadays, Zhishu Song is extremely popular in Jianzong and has a good reputation. Qi Yuzhai does not have a big backer. He does not want the reputation he has accumulated over the years to be ruined. Moreover, he also knows that Zhishu Song will leave soon.
Losing something and building a good reputation for Qiyuzhai is basically a sure-fire business, so why not do it?
"With a person like Guanshi Wang in Qiyuzhai, it's no wonder that the business is getting bigger and bigger."
Song Zhishu knew what the other party meant, and he also understood his reputation among the lower-level disciples since the last incident. There was indeed no harm in doing this, and on the contrary, his reputation would get better and better.
But it is difficult for ordinary people to realize this, so he will praise him.
"Master Song is so complimentary."
Manager Wang bowed and smiled. He was naturally happy to be praised by Song Zhishu.
"In that case, I would like to thank Manager Wang for his kindness." Song Zhishu stood up. He had nothing to do with Manager Wang's attitude, because it was normal. As a person's strength and status changed, not to mention strangers, even close friends would
Treat with care.
Just like when Li Qingzhou became a handyman and an outer disciple, Song Zhishu also felt the same way, feeling that he was a person from two worlds.
But he didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to him in a short period of time.
Nothing much was said.
Song Zhishu said goodbye to the steward, turned around, left the library, and headed home.
When he left, he was still as low-key as when he came.
About half an hour later.
Song Zhishu was about to arrive home, but before he could get closer, he found four people pacing back and forth in front of the door.
It's Li Dao, Wang Yue, Wu Lishan and Zhao Yuan. It seems that they have been waiting for a long time.
"Senior Brother Song is back."
Zhao Yuan was the first to see it, and he quickly came over and bowed: "I have met Senior Brother Song."
Li Dao was a little embarrassed, but he immediately greeted him: "I've met Senior Brother Song,"
Song Zhishu nodded in return.
Then he set his sights on Li Dao and others.
At this moment, the three of them had no injuries at all, but there was no trace of magic power in their bodies. They were just ordinary mortals. Their spiritual veins were cut off and their cultivation was abolished. There was no way to change this matter.
Song Zhishu sighed softly, saying that he really had nothing to do about it, and finally said: "Please come inside and talk about it."
Soon, the five people sat down, but no one took the initiative to speak.
Song Zhishu killed Bai Qiuyu, beat drums in the law enforcement hall, and denounced the reform. Naturally, Li Dao and others knew about it, and understood that they were able to be released so smoothly and did not stay in there to suffer anymore, all because of Song Zhishu.
But several people also knew that if they hadn't suddenly lost their wits at that time and fell into a trap set in advance, this matter would not have become a big deal.
In particular, Governor Song's behavior in going to the Law Enforcement Hall was extremely dangerous. If he was not careful, he would end up dead. The three of them felt very uncomfortable about this, so they didn't know what to say.
"What are you going to do next?"
In the end, Song Zhishu was the first to speak, asking the three of them about their future plans.
The matter has reached this point, and it is useless to say anything. People must always look forward and cannot regret the past things all the time.
Li Dao and the others also know that their spiritual veins have been pulled away and their path to immortality has been cut off. However, these are all their own faults. No one else can blame them. Regret is regret, but is it useful?
Therefore, after hearing what Song Zhishu said, Li Dao replied: "Senior Brother Song, the three of us have decided to live in Mingyue City from now on. The Law Enforcement Hall helped me recover from my injuries and also gave us a generous compensation, which will ensure that we will be rich and prosperous for the rest of our lives.
, we have no worries about food and clothing, and at the same time, the Law Enforcement Hall said that we will take elixirs at regular intervals in the future to relieve the pain of exhausted muscles and physical decay."
Although the three of them violated the sect rules, due to Bai Qiuyu's intervention, the punishment was very serious, but the separated spiritual veins could not be restored after all, so the sect could only provide more compensation.
"Senior Brother Song, don't worry. I will also take care of Senior Brother Li and others in the future, so that they will not be wronged." Zhao Yuan spoke at the right time. Only one of the four of them survived, thanks to Li Dao and others.
It was someone's arrangement, so he felt a little bit sorry.
"Actually, everything is my fault, if not for me." Wang Yue also spoke, clenching his fists and finally letting go.
He really felt regretful and had been suffering internally, so he looked much worse than the other two and obviously couldn't get out.
"Junior brother Wang, the past is past, and we don't blame you. Besides, the final decision was also made by me." Li Dao shook his head and offered comfort. He didn't blame anyone. He felt that everything was his own fault. Since it was a foregone conclusion,
, so what if we can’t accept our fate?
Then Li Dao looked at Zhishu Song and spoke again: "Senior Brother Song, this time the three of us can come back safely, thanks to your intervention, otherwise we might have died inside."
"We are friends, and Bai Qiuyu is dealing with me, so you guys are implicated."
Song Zhishu said that this time, when he came forward to help Li Dao and the others, he was also helping himself.
After he spoke, the room fell into silence again, and everyone's heart was heavy. After all, so many things had happened that they couldn't care less in a short time.
"I heard that Senior Brother Song is leaving?"
After all, Li Dao had more experience and was more open-minded. He quickly recovered from the disappointment and continued: "I wonder where Senior Brother Song is going after he leaves?"
The other three people also raised their heads. It was clear to them that Song Zhishu rejected the position of true disciple and chose to leave the Sword Sect.
"I don't know yet. I don't have a specific goal yet. I plan to see as I go."
Song Zhishu himself is not sure yet, so it's hard to say because he has never been out since he joined the Sword Sect. Most of his understanding of the outside world is in books and other people's mouths, but you still need to find out the details yourself.
, go and see.
"Now that we are mortals, we can't do anything to help Senior Brother Song. We can only wish Senior Brother Song that you have a safe journey and success in your path to immortality."
When Li Dao opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, because after he became a mortal, he and Song Zhishu were not in the same world at all. The reason why they are here together now is because of their previous relationship. But how long can this relationship last?
"Senior Brother Song is leaving this time, and I don't know when we will see him again."
Wang Yue also spoke, his eyes filled with memories, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Unfortunately, the original promise to build a foundation together and achieve enlightenment and immortality cannot be realized."
Song Zhishu didn't say anything, thinking of a few people at that time.
At that time, the five of them were all very ambitious and were about the same distance from building the foundation. However, within just a few months, everything turned upside down.
But the reality is so cruel, no one is guaranteed to sing all the way, and some people are destined to fall on the road.
"Okay, don't sound so sad. Hasn't Senior Brother Song left yet? I just happened to bring a few jars of spiritual wine that I bought before. Let's have a drink together." Wu Lishan opened his mouth and persuaded everyone to drink together.
"Okay, just listen to Junior Brother Wu."
Wang Yue and Li Dao nodded in agreement. After drinking the spirit wine, the previous gloom was swept away and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The six of them talked a lot and drank a lot. It was not until two hours later that Li Dao and others chose to leave, and Song Zhishu went out to see them off.
Looking at the backs of several people, Song Zhishu was thoughtful.
As Wang Yue said before, I don’t know when we will see each other again this time.
Without thinking much, he turned back to the house and tidied up.
After calming down, he started to make preparations before leaving. Now that he had the spiritual stones and precious jade, Song Zhishu planned to buy some elixirs, talismans and other things tomorrow in case of emergency.
In this way, another few days passed.
Song Zhishu had everything prepared.
Of course, before leaving, he also needed to say goodbye to Mr. Wenyuan and Lu Ming.
During this period, if not for the help of two people, things would not have gone so smoothly, and it would not have been possible for him to leave without saying hello.
In Mingyue Academy, two figures sat facing each other.
There are two cups of tea on the table.
"Song Xiaoyou is here today. Are you ready to travel thousands of miles?"
Zhou Wenyuan first took a sip of tea, and then continued: "I wonder if Mr. Song has set his goal?"
"The specific goal has not been planned, but I made an appointment with Mr. Gu Yun before that the last part of the trip will be in Kyoto of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Beizhou. The students would like to go and see it." Song Zhishu was lost in thought and spoke softly.
"My master told me about this."
Zhou Wenyuan nodded, and then frowned: "But in the land of Beizhou, Xiaoyou Song should be more careful after going there. There is a chaos of demons there, which is very unstable. The demons have extraordinary methods and deceive people's hearts. It is difficult for ordinary monks to resist. Of course, Xiaoyou Song is a Confucianist.
If you are a scholar and have Confucian righteousness to protect you, I won't be too worried if you go."
"Thank you, Mr. Wenyuan, for reminding me."
Song Zhishu nodded. He went to Beizhou because he actually wanted to see the demons.
"Young friend Song, you're welcome."
Zhou Wenyuan smiled and spoke again: "I would like to say one more thing. Now that Xiaoyou Song has entered the state of knowledge and practice, there are some things that you should understand. That is that in Confucian practice, the state of knowledge and practice is the most important thing. It serves as a link between the past and the future. The real power of Confucianism.
It is also obtained in this realm, because no matter whether it is a great scholar or a saint, it is in this realm that they realize their own principles, which are related to the subsequent path."
"And Xiaoyou Song has traveled thousands of miles to know what to do, and to know and do is not just to do it, but also to gain insights in the process of doing it, so Xiaoyou Song doesn't need to stick to the specific place to go, just do whatever you want. Everyone has something to do.
Personal truth, the important thing is to understand it and do what you think you should do."
Zhou Wenyuan's words did not say what Zhixing should do or what principles he should realize. Instead, he pointed out the importance of this state. At the same time, he told Song Zhishu how to do it and to follow his own heart and find his own way.
“Students are taught.”
After Song Zhishu heard this, he nodded.
Mr. Wenyuan's words may not seem important, but they are of great significance.
Especially the word "Xi Xin", as the other party said, everyone has their own path and reason.
At first, Song Zhishu was still hesitating about what route to set for himself, but now he realized after hearing these words, what is important is not only action, but also knowledge.
"If you can understand, I will feel at ease."
Zhou Wenyuan knew that Song Zhishu understood what he said, and he felt very happy.
Immediately, he continued to speak: "Little friend Song, please remember one thing: don't be in a hurry when practicing Confucianism."
"Yes, Mr. Wenyuan."
Song Zhishu stood up to salute. Mr. Wenyuan had given him a lot of advice and help since he first came into contact with Confucianism, and he was naturally grateful.
Then the two chatted for more than two hours, with Song Zhishu asking questions and Zhou Wenyuan answering.
Especially before Song Zhishu left, Zhou Wenyuan also presented basic Confucian books to him.
The above are all principles and records related to the state of knowledge and action.
Song Zhishu thanked him again.
After gathering with Lu Ming for a while, he left Mingyue Academy.
And he also made a decision to officially set off in a few days.
Early morning three days later.
Inside the room.
Song Zhishu stood in front of the table, doing the final inventory.
"The Saint Sword Embryo, Heavenly Thunder Bottle, Spiritual Stones, Precious Jade, various talismans, and some necessary elixirs are all ready. They can be used for at least a while. It is enough."
Song Zhishu looked at the things on the table and made some calculations in his mind. In addition to these most basic things, there was also a token on the table with the word Taihao engraved on it.
This was sent by the Recording Hall a few days ago, and it is called the 'Taihao Sword Order'. It represents an identity, which is different from that of a disciple. According to the Recording Hall, whenever something happens, if you show this order, all the forces in the world will be defeated.
To give face.
He didn't want to accept it at first, but the disciple of the Recording Hall said that it was the head of the family who gave the order, and if he didn't accept it, it wouldn't be easy.
So in the end Song Zhishu had no choice but to accept it.
Finally, after confirming that everything was correct, everything was put into the storage bag except for the saint sword tire.
Then he began to sweep every dust in the room with his breath, very carefully, leaving nothing behind.
After more than half an hour, the house was cleaned.
Song Zhishu walked to the door.
Finally, he took one last look at the place where he had lived for more than ten years and slowly closed the door.
Without hesitation, Song Zhishu turned around and came to the streets of Mingyue City.
The streets are busy with traffic and people coming and going.
It was as lively as usual.
"It seems to be Senior Brother Song in front of me."
"Huh? Senior Brother Song seems to be walking in the direction of the city gate."
"Everyone said that Senior Brother Song was leaving, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Do you want to see him off?"
"I can get back the spirit stones that were withheld before, all thanks to Senior Brother Song. Regardless of whether you go or not, I will go anyway."
"I'm going too, but please keep your voice down and don't disturb Senior Brother Song. Let's just follow behind."
In Mingyue City, someone quickly recognized Song Zhishu's figure. After seeing him walking towards the city gate, they immediately realized that Song Zhishu was leaving. However, this was not a big news, because everyone knew it, but they just didn't know what it was.
It's just time to leave.
Now that they see Zhishu Song leaving, everyone is a little reluctant to leave. After all, the recent changes in Jianzong have benefited the lower class, all because Zhishu Song angrily criticized the injustice of the upper class in the Law Enforcement Hall.
They can't do anything else, but they can still do it by giving it away.
Just like that, one person quietly moved up, then the second person, the third person, the fifth person, the tenth person, and the hundredth person.
When Song Zhishu was about to reach the city gate, a large group of people had gathered on the street behind him. Without exception, these people were almost all disciples living at the bottom.
Everyone did it spontaneously, without interrupting or making a sound, they just followed silently behind.
The bottom class benefited, and everyone was very grateful to Song Zhishu.
After a stick of incense.
Outside the gate of Mingyue City.
Song Zhishu stopped, then turned around and looked at the group of disciples following him.
Those people also stopped and looked at Song Zhishu, with gratitude in their eyes.
In fact, the disciples were following, and Zhishu Song had long sensed it, but he just didn't look back. Now that he was about to leave, these disciples came to send him to him, and Zhishu Song naturally couldn't choose to ignore them.
He didn't say anything, he knew what they were doing and understood everyone's good intentions.
After a long time, Song Zhishu faced everyone and bowed slightly: "The path to immortality is vast. Song Zhishu wishes you all success in your quest and eternal life."
After finishing speaking, Song Zhishu bowed again, then waved his hand to call out the Saint Sword Embryo, stepped on the sword body, and pinched out a magic formula.
The saint's sword vibrated slightly, then turned into a stream of light, carrying Song Zhishu and disappearing into the sky, drifting away.
Below, at the entrance of Mingyue City.
All the disciples who followed him to see him off, after looking at each other, knew that Song Zhishu might not be able to hear him, but they all bowed slightly: "We wish Senior Brother Song success in his quest and eternal life."
