Amitabha walked forward, passed a few streets, and stopped in front of the Cai Mansion.
Cai Mansion is the residence of Cai Yong, and Cai Yong was a great Confucian at that time. Amitabha came here because he wanted to worship him as his teacher.
After submitting his article to the concierge, Amitabha said goodbye and left. Due to his status, he could not meet Cai Yong. He could only hope that Cai Yong would like his article so that he could meet him.
After meeting, if you feel that he is suitable, you will accept him as a disciple. Otherwise, you will let him leave after some encouragement. Of course, there is another result, which is to recommend him to other great scholars.
Not long after Amitabha left, Jiang Chen's figure appeared in front of the Cai Mansion, and then walked in with such a swagger.
Cai Yong, whom Jiang Chen had met before, was one of the six great scholars in Dongguan. Now Cai Yong is staying at home, sorting out the various evidences he has collected.
In Amitabha's future, his apprenticeship failed this time because Cai Yong never met him, so how could he accept him as a disciple?
As for why Cai Yong didn't see him, it had to do with Jiang Chen. Now all his energy was focused on completing Jiang Chen's mission, so he had no time to read any articles.
Originally, with Amitabha's talent, it was no problem to become a disciple of the great Confucian scholar, but because of Jiang Chen's lack of skills, his path to becoming a disciple had many twists and turns.
This is the reason why Jiang Chen appears here, he wants to guide Amitabha's future back to normal.
"who?"
Although he was distracted and sorting out the evidence he had collected, Cai Yong's vigilance did not disappear. Therefore, the moment Jiang Chen came in, he felt something in his heart and suddenly shouted in the direction of Jiang Chen.
At this moment, the majestic righteousness, mixed with the endless literary energy, surged towards Jiang Chen.
But unfortunately, this aura of righteousness, which was enough to sweep away the innate Taoist Master, fell on Jiang Chen, just like a breeze blowing by, only ruffling a few strands of his hair and not causing any harm to him.
"Cai Yong, you have so many books in your house."
Jiang Chen appeared from the void and said silently.
There are at least tens of thousands of books hidden in Cai Yong's mansion. If not, the attack he just made would never have been so powerful, and with his strength, no trace of Jiang Chen could be found.
The most powerful thing about Confucianism and Taoism is this. When the awe-inspiring righteousness is mixed with the classics of saints, the power will be doubled. The more saints and classics there are, the more terrifying the power will be!
Like Cai Yong's mansion, there are tens of thousands of volumes of saints' classics, which the innate Taoist Lord cannot approach at all.
"Father, be careful!"
In the room, besides Cai Yong, there was also a young girl in a green dress. Seeing Jiang Chen suddenly appear, she picked up the long qin beside her, and the mysterious power in her body surged and resonated with the strings.
Zheng~~
The strings sounded suddenly, and a fierce force emerged, firmly locking Jiang Chen.
"Koto?"
"It is extraordinary to enter Taoism with the harp."
Jiang Chen glanced at the girl and praised her.
Qin Dao is a type of vocal music that began with the hands of Emperor Fuxi. All emperors of the past dynasties have studied this technique, even Jiang Chen, who also studied vocal music when he was young.
But even he, when he was still a mortal, was not able to use the piano to enter the Tao. Now he can, but that is because of his profound cultivation, not because of his deep research on the Tao of vocal music.
"Zhaoji must not be rude!"
Seeing that his daughter was about to take action against Jiang Chen, Cai Yong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and quickly scolded her.
After scolding his daughter, Cai Yong paid homage to Jiang Chen and said, "My little daughter is ignorant and has offended the king. Please calm down the king."
"What's there to blame? I was the one who made the mistake by breaking into the house privately. Even if she really attacked me, it was a reasonable thing. Why should I blame her?"
Jiang Chen smiled and asked Cai Yong not to be too nervous.
Then, he took a look at the girl in the green dress. If he guessed correctly, this person should be the talented Cai Zhaoji. She was quite beautiful, but not as good as Chang'e and the Seven Fairies.
After just one glance, he withdrew his gaze, and then said to Cai Yong, who had just breathed a sigh of relief: "She is your daughter? Judging from her face, you must be planning to get engaged to her recently."
Cai Yong didn't know what Jiang Chen meant, but he still replied truthfully: "Reporting to the king, Yong has no heirs, only two daughters. Now that he is old and frail, he gradually feels that he is unable to do what he wants, so he naturally has to make plans for them early."
Educated people speak implicitly, and a question that can be answered in one word must be extended into a long paragraph.
"Then don't make up your mind. The family you chose is not good. They should be sick. It is estimated that your daughter will be gone as soon as she gets married."
Jiang Chen shook his head and said.
Meeting each other was just a matter of fate, and it was a matter of effort. He didn't mind reminding Cai Yong. Of course, whether Cai Yong would listen to it or not, that had nothing to do with him.
"Ah~~"
When Cai Yong suddenly heard the news, he seemed very surprised. If his daughter died just after getting married, wouldn't his daughter have to bear the name of Croft for the rest of her life? Wouldn't everything be ruined?
Thinking like this, Cai Yong felt a chill in his heart. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and thanked Jiang Chen: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me. Yong almost harmed my daughter."
While speaking, he couldn't help but feel resentful towards the Wei family in Hedong. His son dared to harm his daughter if he was like this. Do you really think he was easy to bully?
"You can use the piano to enter Taoism without practicing any martial arts. Your daughter is a rare genius. I just pity her for her talent."
Jiang Chen really feels that Cai Zhaoji is a talent. Qin Dao is not popular these days, so it is not easy to produce a good talent. If he cultivates her carefully, he may not be able to become a figure in the future.
Thinking like this, Jiang Chen suddenly took out a book of piano music scores and handed it to Cai Zhaoji.
"This musical score is the work of the Emperor. It records his understanding of the way of vocal music of heaven and earth. This thing fell into my hands by chance. However, my energy is limited and I have no time to study the way of music, so I have failed to live up to it.
inherited."
"Now that I see that it is suitable for you, I will give it to you. I hope you can cultivate well in the future and don't lose the reputation of the emperor."
Emperor Fuxi has learned everything in his life, but the most famous among them are the innate Bagua and Qin Dao. After Xihuang's inheritance fell into the hands of Jiang Chen, he also received the Emperor's inheritance from the human race. Compared with the two, it can be said that it is the best.
Get the true biography of Fuxi.
He also mastered the essence of the innate Bagua and Qin Dao.
However, Jiang Chen's energy was limited, and he only learned the Innate Bagua, and no longer had the energy to study the music, so the supreme inheritance of the Emperor gradually disappeared.
Jiang Chen was also quite embarrassed about this. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to spread the knowledge of Qin Dao, and now he finally found this opportunity.
As long as there is a successor to Qin Dao, he can be regarded as worthy of the Xihuang inheritance.
Although Cai Zhaoji did not guess Jiang Chen's identity, looking at Cai Yong's attitude, she knew that Jiang Chen must be an unimaginable big shot.
Listening to what he said, this musical score actually related to Fuxi, the founder of humanities. The origins are really endless. There is no doubt that this musical score must be a peerless treasure.
Furthermore, the music score in front of her can be said to be the greatest opportunity she has ever encountered in her life.
Thinking of this and looking at the music score handed to her, Cai Zhaoji's body was shaking with excitement. She took several deep breaths, then took the music score and thanked Jiang Chen: "The daughter of the people has thanked the king."
"I hope that one day, I can see you in Gouchen Palace." Jiang Chen said with expectation.
If you enter Taoism with the harp and practice successfully, you will be promoted to the Gouchen Heavenly Palace, and you will be qualified to call yourself a disciple of the Emperor. Your status is extremely noble, far beyond the comparison of ordinary immortals.
"I wonder what the king has to do when he comes here?" After Jiang Chen and Cai Zhaoji finished talking, Cai Yong stepped forward and asked.
"Today a young man came to your house to submit a letter and wanted to become your teacher. This man was related to me in his previous life, so I asked you for a favor on his behalf. I hope you will accept him as your disciple and teach him the classics of hundreds of schools of thought."
Jiang Chen said to Cai Yong that the Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty, or Confucian scholars, knew many things. Most of them studied hundreds of schools of thought, and each one was more knowledgeable than the last.
"Just accept him as your disciple?"
Cai Yong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Chen to come to him just for such a trivial matter. It was enough to just give him a casual instruction. How could it be worth his while to come in person?
That's what he thought, but Cai Yong also knew in his heart that the young man must have an extraordinary relationship with Jiang Chen, otherwise he wouldn't be worthy of it.
"More than that, when you accept him as your disciple, I hope you will give him this gift."
Jiang Chen came to see Cai Yong in person, and naturally it was not just as simple as asking him to accept Amitabha as his disciple. His main purpose was to use Cai Yong's hands to transfer a treasure to Amitabha.
While he was talking, a small piece of bamboo appeared in Jiang Chen's hand. This piece of bamboo had existed for an unknown number of years and had lost its original color. The whole piece showed a dark color, as if it had been contaminated by countless years of dust.
It exudes an atmosphere of long history and vicissitudes of life.
On the front of this piece of bamboo, there are two large characters engraved in ancient seal script, which are the two characters "Spring and Autumn".
Spring and Autumn Jane!
This object is the most precious treasure of Confucianism, the fragment of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Book of Time.
Not long after the First Emperor killed three great supernatural beings with the Spring and Autumn Brush, this Confucian treasure realized that it had fulfilled its destiny and broke into countless fragments again, disappearing between heaven and earth.
At that time, although Jiang Chen was struggling to intercept the fragments of Spring and Autumn, but with his strength at that time, he was still unable to suppress this Confucian treasure. Even with all his strength, he could only seize the original and recorded Spring and Autumn Slips.
A piece of bamboo with the Chinese characters Spring and Autumn on it.
The rest all disappeared before his eyes.
Spring and Autumn, Spring and Autumn is the title of the book. Although the content is no longer there, it is just a name that still has unpredictable power. It can move the power of time, hide all traces, and speed up or slow down time.
And this thing is the treasure Jiang Chen wants to give to Amitabha. With the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Piece in hand, it will be difficult for the saint to plot against him.
Moreover, if Amitabha Buddha wants to achieve perfection, he must reincarnate in the world of mortals for eternity. Eternity, based on his average lifespan of fifty years, is half a million years.
Five hundred thousand years. Not to mention that Jiang Chen couldn't wait for him for so long. Even the two saints from the West couldn't wait for that long. If he really waited five hundred thousand years for him to return, Buddhism would have been completely cold.
Therefore, Jiang Chen had to think of a way to speed up Amitabha's return while ensuring that there were no hidden dangers and would not affect Amitabha's foundation.
The most precious treasure of Confucianism, the Spring and Autumn Period, is what Jiang Chen came up with. The Spring and Autumn Period is known as the history book of time and is the strongest treasure of time.
Amitabha holds the Spring and Autumn Period, and the time that belongs to him will naturally speed up invisibly, greatly increasing the speed of his return.
Of course, in this process, under the guidance of the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Pieces, Amitabha will find the lost contents of the Spring and Autumn Period one by one and reunite this Confucian treasure.
When the Spring and Autumn Period reappears, the Spring and Autumn Period Brush will appear together with it. With the power of these two treasures, it won't be long before Amitabha Buddha can complete his eternal cultivation, understand the true meaning of Buddhahood, and return to his true self.
Of course, although Spring and Autumn is powerful, it cannot accelerate time without limit. In order to push the power of Spring and Autumn to its limit, Jiang Chen had to find a way to send Amitabha to all the worlds.
The heavens and worlds are on the outskirts of the prehistoric world and are not the focus of Heavenly Dao. Manipulating time there is much easier than in the Three Realms.
"This is……"
Looking at the bamboo slices in Jiang Chen's hand, Cai Yong could no longer maintain his composure and hurried to Jiang Chen's side, staring at the Spring and Autumn Bamboo slices, too excited to speak.
As a descendant of Confucianism, even if he has never seen the treasure Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slips, the moment he saw it, with his deep sense of perception, he could recognize its origin at a glance. It was the treasure that had been lost for many years by the Confucian sect.
"Spring and Autumn"!
"Your Majesty, this is the Spring and Autumn Annals, the most precious treasure of our Confucian sect? It is the supreme classic written by the saint. It is the supreme treasure of our Confucianism and Taoism. It has been missing since the death of the saint. I never thought it would be broken."
Looking at the fragments of "Spring and Autumn" in Jiang Chen's hand, Cai Yong said heartbrokenly. Looking at his expression, "Spring and Autumn" was broken, which made him more heartbroken than if he fell asleep.
"Don't be excited. The "Spring and Autumn" was destroyed by the saint himself before his death, in order to preserve Confucianism and Taoism. It's also my fault that you descendants can't do it. You said that you won't see the new saint for ten thousand years. If the saint left the "Spring and Autumn" to you, that's not true.
Is it causing trouble for you?"
"Do you really think you can guard this treasure under the prying eyes of so many powerful people?"
Jiang Chen subconsciously moved a little farther away from Cai Yong. This guy really cried.
"The descendants are unfilial!"
Hearing this, Cai Yong cried even louder. For a Confucian scholar who was founded on filial piety, he couldn't even keep the treasures left by his sages. Is there anything more unfilial than this?
After a long while, Cai Yong finally recovered and asked Jiang Chen in a low tone: "Your Majesty, since you have obtained the "Spring and Autumn" fragments, why didn't you hand them to the young man yourself instead of lending them to me?
?”
In Cai Yong's view, what Jiang Chen did was really unnecessary. He could just find a reason to give the "Spring and Autumn" fragments to the young man. Why bother asking him to hand it over?
