The appearance of the old man also made everyone present quiet down.
The previously noisy situation was stabilized, and neither the casual cultivators nor the sect disciples started arguing again.
This is the deterrence brought by strength, which no one can ignore, especially those present who are practicing Qi and building foundations, and there are only a few in the Dan Formation realm. Now that a strong person in the Golden Core realm appears, he will naturally suppress everyone.
sound.
"Pavilion Master."
The middle-aged man also immediately greeted him, bowed and held his hands, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
With the situation the monks on both sides were in just now, if he didn't control the situation, he was really afraid that there would be a fight.
In this case, no one can stop it, because things will get bigger and bigger, and it is not limited to Wanshi Pavilion.
After all, middle-aged people also see the conflicts between casual cultivators and sect disciples these days.
"I know everything."
Master Wanshi Pavilion nodded, then glanced at the Lieyang Sect disciples, and finally his eyes fell on the young female cultivator.
It was because of the other party's words that almost caused a quarrel between the casual cultivators and the disciples of the sect. Naturally, he was very dissatisfied. However, the woman was a junior, so he didn't say anything. The most important thing now was to stabilize the situation.
In fact, he understood that the root cause of the dispute between the two parties was Wanshi Pavilion's unreasonable arrangement of tasks.
But there is nothing I can do about it. The demon incident has too great an impact, so I must be careful.
But now that the situation has gradually stabilized, it should be dealt with.
It just so happens that today is also an opportunity.
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Wanshi Pavilion Master just spoke softly: "As for this mission, both of you have different opinions. In this case, we must discuss the matter clearly. Follow me to the private room to talk."
With these words, all conflicts were transferred to the task, in order to prevent the situation from continuing to escalate, otherwise the two sides would continue to argue, involving the conflicts between the casual cultivators and the sect disciples. Once the conflict completely broke out, he would not be able to suppress it.
Must be avoided.
"Yes, senior."
When Liu Yuan and the female cultivator surnamed Zhao opened their mouths, they did not dare to talk nonsense. Naturally, they did not dare to have any opinions on the words of Wanshi Pavilion Master.
At the same time, there was also a hint of joy in the hearts of the two of them, that is, since the Lieyang Sect entered Qingzhou City, they had a good relationship with Wanshi Pavilion, and they might not be sure that the mission would be on their side.
Although Wanshi Pavilion does not belong to the sect, if you really want to talk about it, it can be regarded as some kind of sect force, and both parties have the same interests.
Loose cultivators, in their eyes, are nothing more than a mob, and there is nothing to fear at all.
If anything, the person with the highest status on the other side is just Chen Jingyun.
But apart from his identity as Mr. Qingzhou Academy, what else is there?
To put it bluntly, it is not much different from a casual cultivator.
So after Wanshi Pavilion Master appeared, the two of them knew that no matter how this matter was discussed, there would be no problem on their side. Moreover, they had really killed several Yin Demons and could withstand investigation.
On the other side, Chen Jingyun and others looked at each other and finally nodded. Wanshi Pavilion Master also spoke, so it was naturally different.
Especially when things have reached this point, we really need to have a clear confrontation.
Besides, I am reasonable and have nothing to fear.
"Senior Pavilion Master, I think it's better to talk here."
But at this time, Song Zhishu suddenly spoke, his words calm. He didn't know Wanshi Pavilion Master, so he was not sure whether the other party would show favoritism because of the Lieyang Sect.
Even if the other party must be fair and just, there are still some things that need to be done and cannot be careless.
In particular, he also noticed that Liu Yuan and other Lieyang Sect disciples' expressions softened, so they had to speak.
And in the lobby, everyone is watching, which can at least make the other party have some scruples.
Readers should leave kindness and humility in their hearts.
But correspondingly, we also need to understand the principle that a gentleman should not build a wall. If he leaves, can he fight against the Lieyang Sect just by relying on his identity as Mr. Chen Jingyun Academy?
Song Zhishu didn't know, but he knew it had to be this way.
"good."
Master Wanshi Pavilion was stunned for a moment, but he did not expect anyone to refute his words, but he quickly returned to normal.
Then he took a deep look at Song Zhishu, seemingly displeased, but in the end he still nodded.
Indeed, when Wanshi Pavilion opens its doors for business, it must consider everyone's feelings.
Nowadays, many people are watching, and I must maintain a fair attitude.
As for Liu Yuan and the disciples of the Lieyang Sect, after hearing those words, they all couldn't help but sneer in their hearts. They felt that Song Zhishu was overestimating his abilities and dared to reject Wanshi Pavilion Master intuitively. It was simply stupid.
The other party is in the golden elixir realm, and a strong person has the dignity of a strong person. Now the other party directly refutes his face. Isn't that stupid?
Chen Jingyun, Lin Cheng and others were also a little worried at first.
But soon they thought of Song Zhishu's identity and felt that it was not a big problem.
Yuan Ming and the other four people, on the other hand, were a little anxious. After all, it was really not good to talk like this.
At this time, the middle-aged steward also motioned to the monks watching to move aside.
Master Wanshi Pavilion thought for a moment, looked at the two parties, and finally said: "You said before that you all encountered monsters, some were beheaded, and some were injured, but it was just verbal. If you have evidence, bring it out first. If not,
, and then I, Wanshi Pavilion, will confirm it, and you will know who has completed the task by then."
His meaning is very simple, that is, to discuss the matter as it is. Since he said that he has completed the task, if there is evidence, he will provide it.
If not, Wanshi Pavilion will send people to investigate. In determining the task, Wanshi Pavilion has its own method, which basically guarantees that there will be no errors.
"Senior Pavilion Master."
Liu Yuan stood up first, bowed slightly and said: "Senior, you also know that Yin demons are transformed from the five poisons of heaven and earth. After being killed, they will return to heaven and earth. Unless a few powerful Yin demons will leave demon blood, but junior
The ones they killed were not strong, and Mo Yue was just practicing Qi, so in this regard, I have no evidence."
"But since we have done it, it can withstand the investigation of Wanshi Pavilion. Regarding this matter, I guarantee in the name of Lieyang Sect that it is absolutely true."
Of course he can say these words with confidence, because there is really no problem. Although he can't produce any evidence, what is the existence of Wanshi Pavilion? As long as he investigates, everything can be revealed.
Especially at this moment, Liu Yuan directly used the name of Lieyang Sect as a guarantee to increase the credibility of those words.
The Lieyang Sect is a famous sect for cultivating immortals. Even if it is far from the Taihao Sword Sect, it is still enough.
So after these words came out, the disciples of the sect who were watching all smiled, knowing that Liu Yuan dared to use the sect as a guarantee, so there must be no problem, while the other casual cultivators frowned, obviously
I didn't expect the other party to be so confident.
Some people believed in Song Zhishu's character, while some casual cultivators began to speculate that this mission might have been completed jointly by both parties. Each of them encountered a demon, but this would be different.
Because this point is very troublesome, that is, Liu Yuan was talking about killing the demon, while Chen Jingyun's side was just injuring and repelling it.
Even if neither party is lying, if there is an argument, it is obvious that the disciples of Lieyang Sect will have the upper hand.
In fact, since Wanshi Pavilion released the monster mission.
There are often casual cultivators and sect disciples to perform a certain task together, so the result is that both parties contribute, but in the end most of the credit goes to the sect disciples, and the casual cultivators end up working in vain
.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Rao's words caused such a big reaction among the casual cultivators, because they had already had their opinions.
Therefore, many casual cultivators now believe that even if the matter is finally found out, people from both sides will have contributed.
But the result will still be similar to before.
After hearing Liu Yuan's words, Wanshi Pavilion Master also nodded slightly, then looked at Song Zhishu, and continued: "What about you? If there is no evidence, I will send someone to investigate clearly, and strive to be fair and just. It will never be done
It's unjust and the results will be announced as soon as possible."
When Chen Jingyun and others heard this, they immediately lowered their heads because they also doubted whether the task was completed jointly by both parties.
If this is the case, you will definitely suffer a loss.
As for Song Zhishu, he thought of Liu Yuan's words. Only powerful Yin demons would leave demon blood, so did the old man he faced also belong to this level? Is the black liquid left by the old man the blood of demons?
?
He was not sure in his heart, but he did not think deeply. Instead, he took out a small bottle from the storage bag, which contained the black liquid collected earlier, and then said: "The demon junior did not kill him, but only wounded him, leaving behind
I have found something, but I don’t know whether this is evidence or not, so I would like to ask my senior to check it out.”
The appearance of this bottle made Liu Yuan and others' expressions change slightly. They were not sure what was inside.
But it is self-evident that the other party can take it out at this time.
Could it be the blood of demons inside?
Liu Yuan calmed down and couldn't help but look at the junior brothers and sisters behind him, with doubts in their eyes.
Because beings who can leave behind the blood of demons are at least comparable to demons in the Dan Formation realm.
But Chen Jingyun and his party are all in the foundation-building realm, so how can they be opponents?
For a moment, several people were a little panicked.
When a certain task in Wanshi Pavilion is completed, if it is handled by casual cultivators and sect disciples, the sect disciples will indeed contribute in the end, but the blood of demons can be left behind, which means that the demons Song Zhishu faces are stronger than the ones they encountered.
.
Once confirmed, it means that the reward this time is likely to be divided equally, or even they will take a small share.
This is naturally not what Liu Yuan and others want to see, but now that Wanshi Pavilion Master is here, they can't say anything.
At this time, Wanshi Pavilion Master took the vial over.
But the moment he took it, he couldn't help but look at Song Zhishu again, because the power of Confucianism was attached to the vial.
However, Wanshi Pavilion Master did not reach out, but opened the vial.
The next moment, a strange and chaotic aura hit his face.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Blood of the Earth Demon!
What kind of person is Wanshi Pavilion Master? He felt it almost instantly. What was contained in the vial was the blood of the earth demon.
Doesn't this mean that the news received by the Taihao Sword Sect Elder Wang is true, that there is really an existence like the Earth Demon coming to Qingzhou?
But how did Chen Jingyun and his party escape from the old demon, and how did they injure him?
Master Wanshi Pavilion had many questions in his mind, but he did not show them. He slowly said: "What is your name?"
Zhishu Song didn't know why the other party suddenly asked for his name, but he had no intention of keeping it secret and said slightly respectfully: "Junior Zhishu Song."
Song Zhishu?
Hearing this name, Master Wanshi Pavilion was shocked again.
In today's world, there are many monks with this name, but there is probably only one who practices both Taoism and Confucianism and is in Qingzhou City at the same time.
"No wonder he can repel an existence like the Earth Demon. It turns out to be him, Song Zhishu, who is highly valued by both the Southern Confucianists and the Taihao Sword Sect." Pavilion Master Wanshi finally understood. He originally thought that the Earth Demon's Demon was taken out by the other party.
The blood was obtained by chance, but now it is directly confirmed.
What Song Zhishu and his group said were not only true, they also encountered the earth demon and repeled it.
After all, Master Wanshi Pavilion can be sure that the person in front of him will never lie.
As for why he was able to injure the old demon.
He also knew in his heart that in addition to Song Zhishu's own ability, another point was that the old demon had been injured. If he met other monks and scholars, there might not be a problem, but the key was meeting Song Zhishu.
The Song Zhishu who recited the Way of Learning, aroused the sound of heaven and earth, and lowered his literary power.
It is reasonable for the other party to be able to fight off the injured Old Demon.
With his thoughts at this point, Master Wanshi Pavilion had made a decision in his mind. He immediately stood up, looked at Chen Jingyun and others and said directly: "Since you have produced the evidence, the reward for this task will be yours."
As soon as the words fell, everyone present was shocked.
Why did you make the decision suddenly?
Especially Liu Yuan and others couldn't understand at all. Is that bottle really the blood of demons?
But even so, we should investigate again, right? Why did we just decide directly?
Liu Yuan and others were not convinced, and immediately walked forward and slightly cupped their hands: "Senior, since you said that the reward for the mission should go to them, you have to give a reason, right?"
It's not that he didn't dare to doubt the words of Wanshi Pavilion Master, but he had already guaranteed it in the name of the sect before. Now that there is no reason, wouldn't it make everyone think that the disciples of Lieyang Sect are really pretending to receive mission rewards?
In this way, he would bring shame to the sect. If he was investigated in the future, Liu Yuan would not be able to bear it.
So even when facing the Wanshi Pavilion Master, he finally spoke directly.
Regarding this.
The Master of the Wanshi Pavilion naturally expected it and smiled slightly: "Disciples of the Lieyang Sect, you also killed the Yin Demon and contributed your strength, so I, the Wanshi Pavilion, will use another part to compensate you. After all, you two
The reason for the dispute is that something went wrong when I, Wanshi Pavilion, released the mission."
"I'm aware of this. I will strictly control the release of monster missions in the future. What do you think?"
The most important thing in doing business is integrity, whether it is a monk or a mortal.
He understood this and was not angry at Liu Yuan's words.
If compensation is given directly, neither party will be offended.
"But."
Liu Yuan knew that he understood what the other party meant, and he wanted the reward, but if word got out that Wanshi Pavilion was doing this, it would undoubtedly damage the Lieyang Sect's face. After all, the matter was a bit big.
Especially after losing face in the hands of a group of casual cultivators, he still wanted to say something.
"If Lieyang Sect has any objections, I will personally talk to your elders."
Master Wanshi Pavilion frowned when he saw that the other party still didn't want to let it go.
After all, he had shown sincerity, and these disciples of Lieyang Sect would not suffer any loss, but Liu Yuan still refused to give up for the sake of face, so he was a little unhappy.
And there is another point, that is, Yin demons are almost all created by earth demons or heavenly demons. Song Zhishu and others defeated the earth demons and completed their mission anyway.
The compensation was given because he knew that there was a problem with Wanshi Pavilion's mission release, so it can be said that he took care of everything.
But Liu Yuan was still struggling with the matter of face.
Therefore, Wanshi Pavilion did not want to give face to the other party and spoke directly.
As for the earth demon thing.
It cannot be said for the time being, as it will cause more panic, and it needs to be discussed with Elder Wang and others of the Taihao Sword Sect.
"This is, senior." Liu Yuan was speechless, but due to his status and identity, he obviously couldn't say anything more, so he had no choice but to accept it.
The female cultivator Zhao Rao and several other Lieyang Sect disciples beside him looked at each other, but also lowered their heads.
Master Wanshi Pavilion ignored their reactions, but turned to look at Chen Jingyun and others, with a smile on his face and a gentle tone: "What do you think of the result of this treatment?"
"Juniors have no objection." Chen Jingyun and others immediately bowed. After all, they can get the mission rewards, so naturally they have nothing to say.
Song Zhishu also gave his hand. The Wanshi Pavilion Master's handling method was indeed acceptable and relatively fair. He did not suppress any party. He also admitted that there was a problem when issuing the task and kept a low profile.
But at this moment, he also understood. The other party obviously knew his identity and origin.
And what's in that vial must be the so-called demon's blood.
"That's good."
Master Wanshi Pavilion nodded and continued: "I wonder if I can borrow this bottle of demon blood for a few days temporarily?"
He did not expose Song Zhishu's identity because the Taihao Sword Sect attached great importance to him. Last time, Wang Ping'an almost got into trouble with Master Fu of the Jinyi Tianwei. If he revealed it, it would definitely attract the attention of many forces.
Since then, the Taihao Sword Sect must have some objections. In addition, there are still demons in Qingzhou, so he cannot muddy the situation.
After all, Song Zhishu’s identity is too unusual.
There is no need to wade through this muddy water.
"Since the seniors borrowed it, the juniors naturally have no objections."
Song Zhishu handed over his hand and didn't think much about it. Anyway, the demon's blood was of no use for the time being, and the other party would return it.
"That's it, that's it."
Finally, Master Wanshi Pavilion spoke up and finalized the matter.
After speaking, he ignored everyone's reactions and turned around and left the mission hall.
And after he left.
The entire lobby fell into silence for a while, and then everyone turned their attention to Song Zhishu.
"This time, we casual cultivators actually won?"
"Fortunately, the evidence was preserved. Mr. Song was indeed prepared for a rainy day."
"Are there still people who say that we casual cultivators do not overestimate our capabilities? Are there still people who say that dealing with monsters is all the work of sect disciples?"
The casual cultivators spoke one by one and looked very excited. They didn't know why Wanshi Pavilion Master made that decision, and they didn't want to delve into it. The most important thing was that the disciples of the sect suffered at the hands of the casual cultivators.
Rogue cultivators have always been looked down upon by sect disciples, and Qingzhou has always been a gathering place for rogue cultivators, and everyone lives in peace and harmony.
After that, demons appeared, and sects entered Qingzhou City one by one. The casual cultivators in the city welcomed this. After all, everyone had a common goal. However, as time went by, the casual cultivators were directly suppressed by the sect disciples, and conflicts broke out from time to time.
But in the end, it was the casual cultivators who suffered.
But this time, Song Zhishu and others directly suppressed the Lieyang Sect disciples.
Isn’t it equal to the victory of the casual cultivators?
Therefore, all the casual cultivators present were very happy about this, feeling that they had finally vented their anger.
As for the disciples of the sect, no one spoke, and they did not understand why Wanshi Pavilion Master assigned the task to Song Zhishu's team in the end, but there was no doubt that the disciples of the sect were really embarrassed this time.
Especially Liu Yuan and others, listening to the casual cultivator's words and feeling the looks in the eyes of other sect disciples, all felt that their faces were shameless.
He left a final sentence, saying that the compensation would be sent directly to the Lieyang Sect's headquarters when the time came, and then he left Wanshi Pavilion directly.
They are afraid that if they stay any longer, they will become the laughing stock of everyone.
Song Zhishu looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head slightly.
The conflict between casual cultivators and sect disciples has been going on for a long time. It exists not only in Qingzhou but everywhere. It is a class-based antagonism, and it is very eye-catching. But he did not expect that this little thing today would actually deserve the attention of everyone present.
Xiu’s praise.
But if you want to talk about it, why am I not a casual cultivator now?
Chen Jingyun stood up and spoke to Song Zhishu for a few words, and then led by the middle-aged steward to the private room to receive the reward for the task.
This mission is about demons, and the Wanshi Pavilion intends to increase the rewards, so in addition to spiritual stones, there are also elixirs, talismans, and several good magic weapons. However, these things are not easy to divide, so under Chen Jingyun's suggestion, all
Replaced with spiritual stones, the total would be 520,000 spiritual stones.
As soon as this number came out, not only Lin Cheng and others were stunned, but even Song Zhishu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
No wonder there are so many monks taking over the mission of Wanshi Pavilion. No wonder even the disciples of Lieyang Sect will quarrel about it. Five hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones is so rich that even the monks in the Danjie Realm will be moved by it.
Please note that this is just one task. What if there are ten or one hundred tasks? The reward will be absolutely astronomical.
Song Zhishu finally understood why all tasks had to go through the hands of Wanshi Pavilion, because only Wanshi Pavilion could afford it.
But if you think about it, you can understand that demons are related to the entire human race and should not be taken carelessly. If it can be solved with spirit stones, then almost every force will do so. Moreover, each demon mission requires a team of at least ten people.
If it's too little, it won't be much if divided equally. It's better to do some ordinary tasks, at least it's safe.
Soon, everyone received the spirit stones, and everyone was very happy because it was indeed so rich.
More importantly, they only spent three days before and after this mission.
The time is short and the reward is high, anyone would be happy to do it.
And because of the previous dispute with the Lieyang Sect disciples, it was already dark after receiving the reward.
Song Zhishu temporarily gave up the idea of purchasing resources. In addition, the amount of spiritual stones was huge, so everyone decided to go to the inn to share it.
Half an hour later, in a guest room in Yunlingzhai.
Ten people gathered together and sat across from each other. On the table was brewed spiritual tea.
"Mr. Song, we discussed it on the road. You contributed the most to this mission and repeled the demon, so you have 300,000 spirit stones, and we will share the 200,000." Chen Jingyun was the first to speak and spoke out about himself.
decisions with other people.
Lin Cheng and others also smiled. They thought so too. After all, they didn't contribute much.
And if we really want to discuss it, I think it is not an exaggeration to think that Song Zhishu alone accounts for 90%.
Hearing this, Song Zhishu shook his head and said directly: "The mission of Wanshi Pavilion is for ten people. Without all the fellow Taoists, I cannot accept this mission. Three hundred thousand is too much, so I will take two hundred thousand."
"
It's not that Song Zhishu is being generous. In fact, as long as we form a team, the risks and rewards are equal.
You can't just take more than half of it just because you defeated the demon.
What's more important is that they don't just cooperate once, there will be tasks in the future. If a few people can get more spiritual stones, with the help of resources, their strength will increase accordingly, which will not be a loss for Song Zhishu.
Who knows what danger we will encounter next time? It is better to have teammates to help.
In particular, he also knew that although everyone was enjoying themselves now, if interests were really involved, everyone would feel uncomfortable. Taking 200,000 Song Zhishu had a clear conscience and was worthy of anyone. 300,000 was too much.
"This" Chen Jingyun hesitated a little when he heard this, but he also knew what the other party meant, so he nodded in the end.
As for Lin Cheng and others, their eyes also showed joy. It would definitely be better if they could get more.
"You can just divide the reward for this mission, and I will quit and not take it."
Yuan Ming on the side spoke and said that there was no separation. This time he went out because a baby died and he felt guilty, so he chose to quit directly.
When everyone heard this, they didn't say much. Until now, they can all guess what happened that night.
And if one person withdraws, the other eight people will receive 40,000 spiritual stones each, and Song Zhishu will receive 200,000 spiritual stones each.
Except Yuan Ming, everyone had smiles on their faces.
Forty thousand spirit stones may not seem like much, but it is enough to support their cultivation for a long time.
Besides, there will be income in the future. If we can maintain it, we won’t have to worry about resources for the time being.
Among them, the happiest people are naturally Lin Cheng and the others. They were originally just ordinary casual cultivators and had been very poor in cultivation for many years. However, since they met Song Zhishu, their income has doubled every time.
If we keep going, there will definitely be no problem for a few people to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment in the future, and maybe there will be a chance to reach the core of Core Formation.
Of course, this is just the vision of Lin Cheng and others, and they are very satisfied with what they have achieved today.
Chen Jingyun is also very happy. He is a Taoist and Confucian practitioner and needs more resources. In addition, he spent a lot of money on foundation building last time, so he can make up for it this time.
For the next time, everyone chatted for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
Although we have only been out of the city for a few days, facing the demon, everyone is under great pressure and wants to go back and relax.
Before Chen Jingyun left, he stated that the spiritual stones from Qingzhou Academy would also be delivered within these two days.
At the same time, Lin Cheng and others also exchanged the useless jade.
After Song Zhishu sent everyone away, he returned to the room and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had to be vigilant all the time outside, but here he could completely relax.
Then he closed the door, activated the formation in the room, sat up cross-legged, and began to regulate his breathing.
Although he was not injured in the battle with the monster last night, he had consumed too much and has not fully recovered yet. There are only five channels of Haoran's righteousness left.
It can be said that if he had to do it again, Song Zhishu would definitely not be able to bear it, and because of this battle, he understood the importance of Haoran's righteousness. It was a pity that he did not kill the demon, otherwise he could also obtain Haoran's righteousness.
According to estimates, the old man must be an extremely powerful being among the evil spirits. Otherwise, how could he leave the blood of the evil spirits?
Moreover, even the Wanshi Pavilion Master will temporarily control the rhythm, so as long as he is killed, there will be at least dozens of awe-inspiring righteousness.
It's a pity that Song Zhishu understood that he simply couldn't do it. If the old man didn't set up a trap and took action directly, then it would be really a disaster. Therefore, he was lucky to be able to return safely this time.
"After all, I still don't have enough strength. If I could reach the perfection of foundation building and even the formation of pills, I wouldn't be so passive."
Song Zhishu said to himself, understanding that the most important thing next is to improve his cultivation, and strength is the capital of everything.
Fortunately, the harvest this time was huge. Including those from Qingzhou Academy, there were a total of 300,000 spirit stones.
"I am currently in the late stage of foundation building. To reach Dzogchen, I will need about 3,000 Lingyuan Pills, which is calculated as 100 pills each." Song Zhishu thought about it in his mind and couldn't help but feel helpless.
Three hundred thousand spirit stones are just enough for me to reach the perfection of foundation building. Even if I have some leftover, it's not much.
Sure enough, the higher the realm, the more resources are needed.
But it's nothing.
Only a few months have passed since I was in the early stage of foundation building, and my cultivation speed is already very fast. Taking drugs to upgrade requires resources.
After reaching the perfection of foundation building, the next step is to form elixirs. This state is a qualitative change in the immortal path and is of great significance.
Because after reaching the Dan Formation realm, the monk's methods can truly be reflected.
only.
Song Zhishu knew that if he wanted to break through the realm and form elixirs, relying only on elixirs would not work. He was following the path of Dacheng cultivation. If he had perfect Qi training, he would naturally have perfect foundation building. However, he did not know how to perfect foundation building for the time being.
clear.
Of course, it is too early to think about these things. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Once the spiritual stone from Qingzhou Academy arrives, the foundation building will be completed first.
While Song Zhishu was thinking, he adjusted his breathing to restore the magic power in his body.
Before I knew it, two hours passed.
It's almost dawn outside.
It's just that Song Zhishu's mana has not been fully restored, after all, it was consumed too much.
However, he did not continue to meditate. Anyway, he was in the city and there would be no danger for the time being.
So after the breath adjustment was completed, Song Zhishu stood up, took out the Confucian books he carried with him, read them carefully, understood them at the same time, and then began to write down the Doctrine of the Mean.
Because I have to practice cultivation during this period, I haven't had much time to study, but I can't relax when it comes to Confucianism.
While Song Zhishu was reading, he began to recall all the things he had done recently.
"The demon's method is to bring out the evil in people's hearts. It may seem like nothing, but in fact this method is very dangerous. Once a person abandons even the most basic conscience and kindness, there will be no difference between humans and demons.
At first glance, the demons’ actions can be described as sinister. They are not trying to kill, but to break the backbone of the human monks and fundamentally destroy the human race.”
"The battle between humans and demons is not a battle between strength and weakness, but a battle of integrity. No wonder no matter who it is, all monks pay so much attention to demons. Once the demons gain the upper hand, or cause harm to the world, everything will be over.
Yin completely swallows up Yang."
"Therefore, Confucian principles must be taught to educate the world, so that people can understand the fundamentals clearly and keep conscience and goodwill in their hearts."
"Even if there is only the last human monk left in the end, there will still be hope in the world."
Song Zhishu thought about it and understood the difference between human monks and demons. It is not just about fighting and killing, but about one destroying the other. Therefore, he understood the importance of goodwill and the importance of reading.
So it was right for me to leave Taihao Sword Sect, because with more experience, I understand more and see things from a different perspective.
This is the knowledge and action of Song Zhishu. Act in the process of knowing, and acquire knowledge in the process of doing.
Buzz buzz~
And while I was thinking about it.
He suddenly discovered that wisps of light appeared around him, constantly surrounding him.
At the same time, channels of Confucian righteousness were born from the body, and there were a lot of them, a full fifty.
"Are you making progress?" Seeing this, Song Zhishu couldn't help but be surprised. He felt that his Confucian realm had improved, and he was getting closer and closer to the perfection of knowledge and action. There was just a thin line between him. As the realm of Confucianism and Taoism improved, Confucian righteousness would also be born.
If the fifty ways of Confucian righteousness are transformed into the awe-inspiring righteousness, then they are the five ways.
not bad.
At least this time I got more out of the city.
In response to this, Song Zhishu smiled and continued to study hard, hoping to reach the state of knowledge and practice as soon as possible.
At the same time, the City Lord's Mansion.
Five Jindan realm powerhouses gathered together again.
"Everyone is here. You can say something now." Prince Taihao Sword Sect sat safely on his chair and looked at the Master of Wanshi Pavilion.
The other three people, Cheng Hong, the dean of Qingzhou Academy, Qiu Qianhe, the city lord, and Fu Yuan, the commander of the Jinyi Tianwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, also immediately cast their eyes. Last night, the master of Wanshi Pavilion sent a letter to summon everyone, saying that there was important news, but at that time, they were
They are all dealing with things.
So before dawn today, the other four people rushed over, wanting to hear what the news was and calling everyone together.
"Everyone, please take a look."
The Wanshi Pavilion Master did not explain, but took out the bottle belonging to Song Zhishu.
The mana flowed in his hand, and a black liquid appeared at the mouth of the bottle, emitting a strange and inexplicable aura, and kept squirming in the air.
"Blood of Earth Demon?" Wang Ping'an was suddenly shocked and stood up directly: "Did you meet the injured Earth Demon?"
He had received news before that an earth demon had sneaked into Qingzhou, but he had never found it.
Now seeing the blood of the earth demon proves that this news is true.
"What's going on?"
The other three people also spoke one after another, their expressions were very solemn. Earth Demon, second only to Heaven Demon, is very dangerous even if it is injured. If they know the specific location, they will take action personally.
"It has nothing to do with me, but something that some people encountered while dealing with demon incidents."
The Master of Wansi Pavilion collected the blood of the earth demon and then explained the whole story of the future.
"That's the Earth Demon. How to deal with some casual cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm? Will there be any problems?"
After hearing the explanation, City Lord Qiu Qianhe couldn't help but say, even if it were him, he would need to be careful when encountering the earth demon, otherwise he would very likely fall for it. Now the Wansi Pavilion Master actually said that the earth demon was attacked by a rogue cultivator.
Retired, how is that possible?
Wang Ping'an was also very doubtful about this, worried that the demon had deliberately set up a maze to disrupt their thoughts.
"No, because the one who defeated the old demon was none other than Song Zhishu."
Master Wanshi Pavilion knew what they were thinking and continued to speak: "Zhishu Song is a great Confucian scholar and has the power of Confucianism. And the earth demon is injured, so it will be no problem to repel it."
As soon as these words came out, the other four people looked at each other. The other monks might be suspicious, but Song Zhishu's words
Especially Wang Ping'an of Taihao Sword Sect and Cheng Hong, the dean of Qingzhou Academy, felt that the other party could do it.
One knows the details, and the other knows Song Zhishu’s talent in Confucianism.
Although the earthly demon is difficult to deal with, Confucian scholars are the enemy of the demon. As long as they are determined, there will be no big problem.
"No wonder."
Wang Ping'an nodded and continued: "Can you confirm the identity and location of the demon now?"
Each of the seventy-two earth demons and the thirty-six heavenly demons has different abilities, and they are all very terrifying. Once the identity is determined, the specific abilities are determined, which makes it easier to deal with. Especially now that the earth demon is still injured, as long as
Knowing the location, they can wipe it out with thunderous force.
"I didn't ask in detail, and it's useless to ask. The Old Demon was injured and left the Blood of the Old Demon. He must have known that his identity and location would be exposed. Naturally, he wouldn't stay in one place for a long time. We can't find him at all.
."
Master Wanshi Pavilion spoke, and his words were recognized by everyone. The demon is cunning and very difficult to deal with.
What are you doing if your position is exposed? Are you waiting for the human monks to attack in groups?
Obviously impossible.
"But now that it is confirmed that the earth demon appears in Qingzhou, our actions this time are correct. The demon incident in Jinzhou is just a cover-up. We at least destroyed the Heaven Sealing Demon Array and prevented the catastrophe, so I propose that next
The focus must be on Qingzhou, as long as the earth demon is still in this area, it will appear again."
Wang Ping'an spoke again, his meaning was very simple, that is, he would do his best to control this demonic incident.
It would be best if we could find the demon and eliminate it. If we can't find it, at least we can prevent the catastrophe.
Their hard work during this period of time will not be in vain.
"good."
"I have no objection."
"We also listen to Elder Wang."
The other four people spoke one after another. On the matter of dealing with monsters, everyone had the same goal. Even Fu Yuan had no objection to this. There were fights and conflicts between the Great Zhou Dynasty and Taihao Sword Sect, but monsters were related to the safety of the entire world.
, one should not care about big things.
"Thank you all, I will make specific arrangements after I send the message to Changge Daozi."
Hearing this, Wang Ping'an slightly bowed his hands to everyone, paused, and after a moment's hesitation, he chose to speak: "Also, regarding the issue of Governor Song's identity, I hope you will not reveal it, as long as we people know about it."
"Why is this?" Cheng Hong was a little confused. He originally wanted to ask Song Zhishu to give another lecture and reveal his identity at the same time.
In this way, the reputation of Qingzhou Academy will greatly increase because of Song Zhishu, and it will accept more students in the future.
The other people didn't speak, just looked at Wang Ping'an.
In fact, they also understood what the other party meant. They just wanted to keep Song Zhishu in their hands. If their identity was exposed, they would definitely attract forces comparable to the Taihao Sword Sect to come to the Immortal Sect. At that time, the Taihao Sword Sect would obviously not get any benefits.
.
Wanshi Pavilion Master, on the other hand, couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, he was worried about the Taihao Sword Sect before and didn't expose it.
Wang Ping'an naturally knew what several people were thinking, but he also had reasons, so he shook his head: "Zhishu Song is very special. In addition to his talent, another thing is that he is very close to the disciples of the Taishang Elder of Jianzong.
The disciple has a strong personality, and one more thing is that she will be back soon."
