The land of the Central Territory is where culture and education flourish. But it can be seen that in academies everywhere, everyone can read and write, and every family supports scholars.
On a flying boat, Ye Ling and others sat down and looked around.
The destination of their trip was the Holy Temple in the center of the Central Territory. After listening to Yue Qunshan's advice, several people decided to take the risk and try the method he said.
But there are also people who object, such as Yiwei: "Yue Qunshan obviously wants to use us as swordsmen. I have seen a lot of the tricks of you scholars. You have always been a stumbling block behind your back. You have to thank them when you are about to die!"
Ye Ling also had some doubts and looked at Xu Hong. Xu Hong looked serious and said: "Take one step and see what happens. People plan things, and God makes things happen. If God wants to destroy our five regions, then all our efforts will be in vain. If God does not destroy our five regions, then this time we will have to do it." There will be an adventure."
Along the way, there are many checkpoints, but Xu Hong has the pass token given by Yue Qunshan, so there is no obstacle.
The Central Region is different from the Eastern Region. The Eastern Region is mountainous, so Daomen was chosen as the ancestral court. The Central Region is flat, and farmers and mulberry trees are used to support the scholars.
Standing on the flying boat and looking up, I saw:
"Golden waves of ripe wheat, lush green newly planted vegetable fields. Rows of tall forests sheltering each other, villages look like each other. The countryside is connected in all directions; small groups of two and a half are common people in the villages. Little urchins play on the hills, and women of the people Huanyi River On the side. The etiquette is thoughtful when we meet on the road, and there are no quarrels or grievances. It is a man who values righteousness for three generations, and enjoys peace every year."
Pan Yulin sighed: "Although the land of the Eastern Territory is known as the place of immortal veins and spiritual cultivation, it is quiet and inactive, but in the land of the Eight Dynasties, the people are in poverty. How can it compare to the stability and peace it has now?"
Ning Changge nodded with deep understanding: "If no one troubles me in the future, I will move here with my wife and children."
Io shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Xu Hong even shook his head and sneered: "I didn't see the bad inside, I just sighed that the appearance is beautiful. Under the beautiful scenery, you can't smell the filth."
Shansuke suddenly pointed down and said, "Look, what are those people doing?"
Following the direction of Shansuke's finger, he saw three young men dressed as scholars scolding two old men on a road in the village.
One of the scholars said: "The sage taught the people to know integrity and etiquette. How come you are not as good as children when you have lived to such a great age?"
Another scholar was disappointed and said: "Rotten wood cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be built."
The two old men were obviously frightened: "We were very familiar with each other in the past, so we met today without greeting each other first. It is really a sin. I beg the scholars to spare us this time!"
The last scholar waved his hand: "Hey, the saints rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, but they can't punish officials as well as treat ordinary people with courtesy. How can we let go of unruly people like you who can't teach and don't listen to instructions?"
The two old men knelt down and kowtowed in pain, but they could not move the hearts of the three scholars.
One man stepped forward, snatched away the money bags from the two old men, and weighed them: "Rotten wood and stubborn rocks, you deserve to endure hunger and poverty. If you can't get up, do whatever you have to do!"
The two old men were helpless and stood up to leave. The scholar coughed: "What? We have warned you so hard, but you two old men still refuse to repent?".
The two old men turned around quickly and bowed to the three young people: "Farewell!"
The three young men bowed in return and then left.
This scene made Ye Ling and others look at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and finally looked at Xu Hong and Yiwei.
Io explained: "Those scholars in the Central Territory have brain problems. They insist on creating a prosperous world where everyone studies and practices etiquette, so they have formulated countless rigid and rigid systems for the people to abide by. When two people meet, they must bow first and their family members are at home. They must also greet each other, do not pick up things on the road, and do not close the house at night. If there is any violation, the father can send the son away, and the son can sue the father. The three scholars just now can patrol and inspect at any time. Once discovered, they will be fined in minor cases and fined in serious cases. Imprisonment.”
Xu Hong interfaced: "So what you saw was superficial and what people wanted you to see. I didn't want you to see the scene just now, but you just happened to see it. You are guilty of a big sin."
While talking, Shansuke exclaimed: "Little
Wu, what are you doing?"
Xiao Wu got off the boat and headed towards the three scholars: "I can't bear it anymore. I will teach these three bastards a lesson today!"
"No, if Xiao Wu goes there, I'm afraid he will cause trouble!"
Ye Ling was shocked, but Pan Yulin and others did not make any move.
Ning Changge sighed: "If you don't get even the slightest bit angry when you see uneven roads, you are really a coward."
Ye Ling looked at Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo understood and followed him.
Xu Nuo and Ye Ling traveled from the Southern Region to the Eastern Region, and gained a lot of understanding of the way of swordsmanship. Although his way was different from Ye Ling's, they were no less sharp.
The two masters and apprentices had a tacit understanding with each other during many fights, and they knew what they were thinking with just one look.
On the ground, the three scholars were walking side by side, talking and laughing about where to look for more money.
At this moment, a terrifying coercion came, and the three men's knees weakened and they knelt on the ground, vomiting blood.
Xiao Wu appeared in front of them and said angrily: "A bunch of wolf-hearted idiots, they only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. Fortunately, you are still scholars, and the books have been read into the belly of the dog!"
The three scholars were so frightened that they were trembling and speechless.
Xu Nuo came after him, alert to the surroundings.
Xiao Wu stepped forward and slapped the three of them repeatedly, beating their skulls to pieces and causing them to die miserably.
Xiao Wu went up and plundered the storage rings from the three of them, and became even more angry: "You are so rich, yet you come to plunder the poor. You will be so lucky if you die!"
Xu Nuo sighed helplessly and silently recited a spell, which caused heavenly fire to burn the bodies of the three people, destroying all traces of the corpses.
On the other side, Xiao Wu caught up with the two old men just now, returned their money, and gave them three scholar's belongings. The two old men thanked them profusely and knelt down to kowtow. But when they looked up again, Xiao Wu had disappeared.
On the flying boat, Ye Ling looked at Xiao Wu and said in a strange tone, "Are you feeling comfortable?"
Xiao Wu chuckled: "Master, I know I was wrong, but who could bear the scene just now?"
Ye Ling didn't say anything more. What he was thinking about was that the Central Territory was vast, and these things were probably happening all the time. Can he manage it?
Pan Yulin seemed to read Ye Ling's thoughts: "Don't do evil because it's small, don't do good because it's small. Punishing evil means promoting good. If everyone swallows their anger and watches everything with a cold eye, the world will fall. Even today. It’s just a small thing, but you should put it into practice. If everyone sticks to this idea, the world will be bright and prosperous."
Hua Xinfeng sighed at the side: "The truth is always right, but you never follow it when doing things. After all, the word "profit" can be pursued endlessly."
Ning Changge was not happy: "Businessmen only have a mouth full of copper."
"Hmph! A businessman pursues profit and is honest and honest. Unlike the world, he is hypocritical and sinister."
Ye Ling was still worried: "If I kill those three people, will there be any future troubles?"
Ning Changge frowned: "If we talk about killing the most people among us, it's you Ye Zi. You slaughtered Wuying Palace by yourself and shocked the Eastern Region. Why are you so hesitant now?"
Ye Ling didn't answer, but Xu Hong understood that Ye Ling had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and it was related to the lives of others, so he didn't dare to be careless. …
However, on the road ahead of Ye Ling and others, there was Dongxiu Academy, where the three scholars who were killed by Xiao Wu studied.
Now that the holy day is approaching, Dongxiu Academy is also selecting disciples to go to the Holy Academy, but they still can't wait for the three people to return.
The headmaster of Dongxiu Academy is named Shao Lian. He is a middle-aged Confucian scholar who has just entered the realm of immortality. Dongxiu Academy is not big and has only more than 300 disciples.
Shao Lian was sitting in front of the hall studying, with disciples waiting on him. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Are Xie Yan and the others back?"
A disciple raised his hands and said, "There is no trace of them yet, but they went not far away. I think they will be back soon."
"Just don't miss the time. You can send someone to greet us."
"Disciple, go now."
But before he could get up, a disciple hurriedly ran back and said: "No, no, no, three senior brothers have caused trouble!"
Shao Lian frowned and asked hurriedly: "What happened?
"
The disciple led a Confucian scholar in. The Confucian scholar was wearing a green shirt and a square scarf. He was panting: "I am Tang Guosong, a disciple of Guangde Academy. When passing by Sangma Village, he saw a demon cultivator killing three senior brothers from your academy. , they are driving the airship and are coming this way at the moment!"
When Shao Lian heard this, he stood up and said, "How can there be monsters causing trouble in the Central Region?"
"I saw that there were human beings on the flying boat, including my Confucian disciples and Taoist disciples. I think they brought the monsters into the central realm."
"hateful!"
Shao Lian was furious: "How long until they arrive?"
"Students are not walking very fast. I think they will be here soon."
"Cultivation of virtue and career, call the disciples immediately to prepare, I want to avenge Xie Yan and the others!"
"yes!"
Shao Lian stood up and left the hall, followed closely by several disciples, who went to prepare themselves. By the time the disciple who brought Tang Guosong was about to entertain him, he had disappeared.
Dongxiu Academy got its name because it was built under a high mountain. At this moment, Tang Guosong was at the pavilion on the mountainside. The person sitting opposite him was Sima Hanguang of the Sima family!
When Sima Hanguang saw him returning, he poured tea and said, "Brother Tang, thank you for this trip."
Tang Guosong sat down and said, "Usually I am the only one who orders others, but today I am running an errand for you."
"I'm very grateful. But this is not for me, but for the Holy Spirit Sect's grand plan."
"What's the explanation?"
"Although there are many scholars in the Central Territory, most of them are drunkards who cannot read. As long as they are provoked casually, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and the one who can stir up the storm is Ye Ling!"
Sima Hanguang smiled slightly. As early as Ye Ling and the others appeared at the Two Realms Pass, many forces already knew their whereabouts. How could such an important place as the border between the two realms not have an informant?
Along the way, the Holy Spirit Cult had already sent someone to follow him along the way, and this person was none other than Tang Guosong.
Tang Guosong was tall and thin. He paid great attention to his appearance. His face was actually smeared with some women's powder. He was waving his fan and smiled at Sima Hanguang: "If you want to deliberately cause conflicts between Ye Ling and Confucianism, it's best to Let them start killing, so that the Central Territory will be in chaos without my holy religion taking action!"
"The one who knows me is Brother Tang."
"Could this be your Sima family's declaration of surrender to our Holy Spirit Cult?"
"No, how can such a small plan be worth showing off?"
"With you, Brother Sima, it will be much easier for me to do things."
"Today you and I will watch a good show in the mountains!"
Above the clouds, a flying boat approached. Suddenly, waves of awe-inspiring energy rose from the ground, and golden streams of light flew up towards the flying boat.
On the flying boat, Xu Nuo drew his sword and chopped it into pieces with a sharp edge. Xiao Wu flew up and shouted angrily: "Who is not afraid of death? How dare you mess with your Grandpa Xiao Wu!"
In mid-air, Shao Lian held an ink pen with a stern look on his face: "Monster, give back my apprentice's life!"
Immediately after a stroke of the pen, a divine light appeared and attacked Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu smashed the divine light with a backhand palm, and the power of the celestial realm suppressed the void: "It turns out that the root of this evil person is here, your grandfather and I We must eradicate it today!"
