Surrounded by mountains and shrouded in mist, Sanjiang Academy is located here.
The existence of the academy occupies the essence of the entire mountain. There is no other sect within a hundred miles, and it has a vague aura of overlord.
Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism each have their own holy places.
Sanjiang Mountain is one of the holy places of Confucianism and Taoism. As early as the Western Jin Dynasty, cultivators were active here.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, even more masters were born.
In the name of "The Way of Confucian Thinkers", Sanjiang Academy was established, and it has been out of control ever since.
Especially in the age of cultivation, a hundred flowers bloom.
The three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism emerged in large numbers, and Sanjiang Academy took up the banner of Confucianism and Taoism.
It's a pity that the spiritual energy gradually became thinner and entered the Dharma Ending Age, and Sanjiang Academy was also slowly declining.
In fact, this is true not only of Sanjiang Academy, but also of Confucianism and Taoism as a whole.
Today, there is only one Confucian saint, and that is Zizhong.
This master had become famous all over the world five hundred years ago, when he single-handedly suppressed the Five Emperors of Taoism!
It's a pity that Zizhong is not from Sanjiang Academy, but from Jixia Academy.
Now five hundred years have passed, and there is no news about Zizhong. Some people say that the saint is dead, while others say that he lives in seclusion.
However, there is another sub-sage in Nanyue Academy—Zeng Yan!
Since Liu Bowen killed the Dragon Vein seven hundred years ago, Sanjiang Academy, one of the three Confucian sects, has no saints or sub-sages, and can be said to be in the most serious decline.
Fortunately, the talents produced by Sanjiang Academy are superior in quantity.
Everyone knows that Sanjiang Academy now relies on the existence of ten Confucian scholars.
Each of these people is unfathomable and can somewhat offset the shortcomings caused by the absence of saints.
…
There is a bamboo forest on the back cliff of Sanjiang Mountain.
There are several thatched cottages. In the main hall, an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a Confucian shirt, sits cross-legged.
After all, today is a modern society, and many people wear modern clothes.
And he was not only wearing ancient clothes, but also had his hair tied up, making him look very much like an ancient person.
The old man is full of energy, has fair hair and a childish face, and looks like a wise man, which makes it easy for people to feel close to him.
He closed his eyes and lucked out, and the aura in the room was filled with pure energy.
If any outsiders saw it, they would definitely be surprised!
In the Age of Ending Dharma, there was such a pure spiritual energy. The most amazing thing was that the spiritual energy only flowed around him, and when he left the thatched cottage, there was no spiritual energy at all outside.
Create an environment with merit!
This is an extremely deep level of cultivation, and you can create a realm through your own skills.
Those who can do this are undoubtedly top practitioners.
Um?
The old man sensed someone approaching, took a deep breath, and let the spiritual energy enter his belly.
With a gentle breath, the door opened automatically.
After a while, a Confucian and Taoist disciple came to report:
"Mr. Shen Dao, the candle in the ancestral hall has been extinguished."
This is obviously a huge anomaly!
Even the disciples were surprised and frightened, but Mr. Shen Dao still looked calm and just asked lightly:
"who?"
"Mr. Ning Jiang!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen Dao's originally calm face changed drastically in an instant!
The man stood up suddenly. He had no intention of asking any more questions, and quickly arrived at the ancestral hall.
You know, this place is several kilometers away from the ancestral hall, but his energy and blood are surging and he is there in an instant.
Really... Ningjiang's life candle is really extinguished!
Seeing this scene, Mr. Shendao's eyes widened and he stood for a long time without speaking.
Just watch, watch carefully.
I can’t seem to digest this fact for a while!
Or, he needs to take a long time to confirm to avoid any mistakes.
"What happened? Isn't Mr. Shen Dao in retreat? Why are you here?"
"Haven't you heard? Mr. Ning Jiang's life candle has been extinguished!"
"Mr. Ning Jiang has died!?"
"How could this happen? When Mr. Jiang Ning left, he was already in the foundation building stage. He is immune to all poisons and will not even get sick!"
"So, Mr. Ning Jiang must have been killed!"
The famous Mr. Shen Dao suddenly arrived at the ancestral hall, and he was in such a hurry that many people from Sanjiang Academy gathered around him, muttering quietly.
Sanjiang Academy has many low-level disciples.
These people have been cultivating all year round and have little contact with the outside world. They are relatively naive and did not even think that Ning Jiang was killed.
Once I understood it, I immediately became angry.
After all, Ning Jiang is from Sanjiang Academy. Who dares to be so bold?
"Hey, look, how sad Mr. Shendao is."
"Of course. If we take it seriously, the relationship between the two is as close as that of father and son."
"Many of Ning Jiang's exercises were also taught by Mr. Shen Dao."
The juniors are not worried at all. No matter who kills Ning Jiang, they will only die.
They were a little heartbroken that Mr. Shen Dao had left such a close person.
Especially when they saw Mr. Shen Dao shaking his shoulders, many young cultivators felt the same and felt sad.
Even cultivators still have emotions.
This was so sad that even Mr. Shen Dao cried.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Suddenly, everyone heard a burst of laughter, and they were extremely happy.
It took everyone a long time to realize that it was Mr. Shen Dao who sent it.
what's the situation?
Could it be that you are too sad!?
But next, everyone understood that this was not the case at all!
Because Shen Dao laughed and even shouted loudly:
"Okay, great."
"Ning Jiang...is finally dead, great."
"Why did you wait until now to die? I waited so hard!"
"Death well, death well, I have been looking forward to it for decades, and I got what I wanted!"
These words were spoken in a loud and clear voice, as if no one was listening.
The disciples at the bottom heard this and were stunned on the spot.
I'm going...what's going on?
Senior Shen Dao, are you looking forward to the death of your apprentice Ning Jiang?
this……
Everyone was extremely puzzled, but Mr. Shen Dao seemed to be dozens of years younger, and he was full of energy.
When he asked Ning Jiang to go down the mountain, he wanted to attract Confucian scholars from all over the world to enter Sanjiang Academy.
In addition to this, there is another mission, which is for him to find the life gate for the rise of Confucianism and Taoism.
Ningjiang, regardless of his character, is very serious about his work and has indeed recruited a lot of talents.
But on the second mission, Ning Jiang made no progress at all.
He didn't even understand what the so-called destiny gate of the rise of Confucianism and Taoism was.
weapon?
Or elixir?
Or a cultivator with amazing talents?
It can only be said that people on the chessboard are always unaware of it.
From Ning Jiang's point of view, he has a big responsibility and must complete it.
What he doesn't know is that the fate of the rise of Confucianism and Taoism is none other than his fate!
That's right, Ning Jiang's fate was divined.
Moreover, the person who divined was Zi Hui, the lesser sage of Sanjiang Academy five hundred years ago.
Zi Hui was so talented that he was the only one in five hundred years.
There were countless subsequent disciples, but no one could surpass him.
Naturally, no one would doubt the conclusion of his divination.
If you are careful, you will believe it, so you will laugh endlessly.
The key to the rise of Confucianism and Taoism has finally appeared!
