Chapter 3813 The old man in Confucian robes led Ye Xiaochuan and Shangguan Yu to the cave entrance of Xuehai Cliff when two octogenarians walked out of it.
One is fat and the other is thin, and they are over seventy years old. They are not the only two great Confucian saints left in the world today. Who are Yan Zhigu and Duan Wutui?
These two old men, who usually couldn't speak even a few words, were now acting like young adults who had just grown up.
It can be seen that they were very excited about Ye Xiaochuan's visit.
They had been separated for more than eight years, and the two old men seemed to have grown older.
There were not many hairs left, and the wrinkles on his face had deepened.
No wonder.
Both of them are over a hundred years old. In the world of cultivation, a cultivator who is one hundred, seventy or eighty is just a young man, equivalent to an ordinary mortal in his mid-twenties.
However, for ordinary people without any cultivation, this is already very big.
There is a saying among mortals that seventy years has been rare since ancient times. In the mortal world, it is already very rare for a mortal to live to be seventy years old, let alone one hundred and seventy years old.
Ye Xiaochuan stood in front of the cave entrance. The rising morning glow shone on the side of Ye Xiaochuan's face. It seemed that at this moment, all the anger in Ye Xiaochuan's body disappeared.
He became the boy he once was.
When meeting the Second Saint, Ye Xiaochuan did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
From bathing and changing clothes last night to today's sunset, he followed the oldest Confucian etiquette.
Even his appearance returned to its original appearance.
This is respect for the two sages Hongru.
It is also the kindness and benevolence in my heart that has never been extinguished.
It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature.
No matter who Ye Xiaochuan becomes in the future, there is still a seed of truth, goodness and beauty germinating and growing deep in his heart.
He bowed his hands, bowed deeply, and performed meticulous etiquette.
Shangguan Yu also comes from a famous family. Although she can easily crush the two old men in front of her to death, she will never lose her etiquette in front of these two old men.
Confucian etiquette for men is different from etiquette for women.
When men visit their elders, they either kneel down or bow.
For women, it is a standing ceremony.
The standing ceremony is to fold your hands on your sides and squat down while your head droops.
Only the Confucian lineage pays attention to such complicated red tape.
It's not like the world of cultivation, where people are all happy with their grudges. When they meet and say hello, everyone clasps their hands and forgets it.
"Junior Ye Xiaochuan."
"Shangguanyu."
"See Duan Gong, Yan Gong."
The two spoke respectfully.
Duan Gong and Yan Gong laughed loudly.
"Ye Xiaochuan?
It's really you! I thought I would never see her again in this life, but I didn't expect you to come to my door by yourself."
The fat Duan Gong grinned and reached out to help Ye Xiaochuan up.
Mr. Yan began to complain: "Where have you been hiding for so many years?
Since he is not dead, he has not come to talk to us two old guys, which is really sad."
The seniority of these two old men in the human world is unimaginable.
Even if the True Dragon Emperor saw them, he would have to kneel down and bow down.
The last time we met at the Human World Alliance, Tuoba Yu, Yu Jizi, Qiankunzi and other big figures in the cultivation world had to bow when they saw them.
They are two of the most knowledgeable people in the world.
He is a god-like existence.
Solemn, sacred and meticulous, this is the impression the world has of them.
It's really rare to have a laugh with two juniors like today.
Even the two Hongru masters who served them seemed to have never seen their teachers be so humble.
When the guest set foot on the clouds at five o'clock, the host went out to greet him. After a few words at the entrance of the cave, the two old men dragged Ye Xiaochuan into the cave.
The cave is very big. As soon as Ye Xiaochuan entered, he discovered that it was a miniature version of the Jade Slip Cave.
The cave in front of you is filled with bookshelves, and the bookshelves are stacked with books from various periods.
There are paper ones, and there are rolls of bamboo slips.
The two venerable saints were like children offering treasures, showing off everything here.
According to what they said, Mount Tai gathers all the knowledge in the world. The 1.8 million volumes of books in the Cangyunmen Library are just a drop in the ocean compared to the collection of books on Mount Tai.
The entire Xuehai Cliff has almost been hollowed out, and there are as many as 40 million volumes of books from different periods stacked inside.
In the catastrophic battle six thousand years ago, the heavenly army swept across the human world and burned the ancient Taishan collection of books with fire, intending to end human civilization.
But how can the civilization of the human world be ended at the behest of heaven?
In the past catastrophic wars, scholars in the world would try every means to preserve ancient books. For these books, those scholars would even sacrifice their own lives.
As long as books are immortal, civilization will not be extinct.
In the worst catastrophe, almost all books in the world were destroyed, and the world was knocked back to its original form from a highly developed civilization overnight.
At that time, it took the human world a full hundred thousand years to stand at the top of the civilization of the Three Realms again.
Then, the human world entered the period of the Wood God.
There are more than 40 million volumes of ancient books in the Taishan Book Cave, which have been compiled and collected by human scholars over the past six thousand years.
All the elderly like to drink tea, especially the Confucian elderly.
They understood the way of nature through the tea ceremony.
I took Ye Xiaochuan to visit three huge book caves, but couldn't walk anymore. They were too old and could only rest on the spot.
The two Hongru masters who were serving them food and daily life began to make tea at the side.
Everyone sat on the floor, sitting in this sea of books.
Mr. Yan knew that Ye Xiaochuan must have something important to do when he came this time.
He said: "I heard that there has been quite a commotion in the Kunlun Mountains recently. It seems that in a few days, there will be a public trial meeting on the sacred mountain, which is aimed at you."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "They want to do something to my friend Zuo Qiu. It's just a trivial matter, and I have my own way of dealing with it."
Duan Gong chuckled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but your tone has become much louder. You were much more humble back then than you are now."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "In this world, there is one truth that remains unchanged from ancient times, and that is that the weak eat the strong.
This is a law of nature, applicable to beasts, and even more applicable to humans.
In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy or conspiracy is ridiculously childish."
"Oh, it seems that you are very powerful now, and you dare to challenge Xuantian Sect and Cangyun Sect.
The leaders of these two factions have been in the cultivation world in China for many years, so they should be careful.
Especially Yu Jizi, he was able to develop the Cangyun Sect to its current prosperous situation in just two hundred years. His methods, vision, structure, and courage are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
You are still very young. If you want to fight with Yu Jizi, you should be cautious, lest you don't know how you died."
Faced with Ye Xiaochuan's confidence, the two saints were obviously not at ease.
Remind Ye Xiaochuan to be careful of jade machines.
Ye Xiaochuan never refuses kindness from others.
He nodded and said: "Thank you two seniors for your guidance, I will pay attention to it."
