Seeing the white-clothed scholar in the mountains chatting happily with a man and a woman who woke up behind him, and in a blink of an eye, the four of them seemed to have grown up together as playmates. Jiang Wang secretly sighed, this man is a talent.
Tang Guo looked suspicious, "Something's wrong, something's very wrong."
Jiang Wang asked curiously: "What did you see?"
Tang Guo raised his chin slightly arrogantly and said, "I am the Great Sword Immortal of Mantang Mountain, and my head is full of wisdom."
The corner of Jiang Wang's mouth twitched. You said this, it seems that you have no wisdom.
"There are more than five hundred monsters lurking in the mountains, and the one with the highest moral character is Aoyin. According to the characteristics of the monsters, unless they are the demon king or above, it will be difficult to make them obedient at a long distance and cover them at close range. There is no monster in the entire mountains and plains with higher moral standards than Ao Yin.”
"The scholar appeared in the direction where the monsters gathered. It can be said that the monsters were stationary due to some kind of plan, but their monster aura was not completely hidden. What's more, he was able to shuttle between five hundred monsters. If he had extraordinary abilities , how could you not notice it?"
"Even if they are insignificant little monsters, if there are enough of them, he can't completely ignore them, right? And even if he has a plan to directly bump into a county examination candidate, how can the monsters remain as stable as ever? Are they pretending? Others can’t see themselves? So there must be something wrong with this person.”
Whether it was the scholar who was mingling with the four candidates with the art of boasting, or whether he appeared here quietly and inexplicably, or what was more, there was no aura or evil spirit on his body, he could hide this kind of thing in front of Jiang Wang, who was at the peak of his power at this moment. The situation proves that he is extraordinary.
Tang Guo pretended to be very wise and said, "I already understand. There is only one truth."
Jiang Wang looked at her suspiciously.
Tang Guo squinted his eyes and said, "I think you should have noticed that every time the scholar speaks, he always praises him as a gentleman. This is not just a superficial compliment, but a gentleman's moral restraint, making people gentle and polite. , even if they have different ideas in their hearts, the person being restrained will hide it in their heart because of the name of a gentleman. In other words, it is the act of a hypocrite."
Jiang Wang was slightly startled, it really makes sense.
Tang Guo continued: "You can think of this kind of binding force as the prototype of obeying the law, but in fact it is essentially different, because the degree of binding is limited, and it has no lethality. Only well-known Confucian scholars in the world can do it. Or a scholar who can truly be called a gentleman.”
"A gentleman has four virtues: the sky is moving vigorously, the ground is smooth, the wind is blowing, and the thunder is shaking."
Jiang Wang looked confused, "What do you mean?"
Tang Guo acted like a teacher and said: "The way of heaven is moving vigorously, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement; it means that the way of heaven runs over and over again, and no one can stop it. A gentleman should imitate the way of heaven, be self-reliant and self-improving, and never stop."
"The terrain is kun, and a gentleman should carry things with great virtue; it means that the earth's momentum is thick and gentle, and a gentleman should increase his virtues and accommodate all things. Follow the wind and Xun, and a gentleman will act according to Deuteronomy; it means follow the direction of the wind, and a virtuous gentleman should Follow orders and never make your own decisions.”
Tang Guo was hanging in the air, with his hands behind his back, and his head slightly raised, "When the thunder shakes, a gentleman should practice fear and self-reflection; it means that when he hears the shaking thunder, a gentleman should be fearful, and consciously practice virtue and self-reflection, that is the fourth chapter of a gentleman." Virtue."
This is recorded in the "Book of Changes", but the content that has survived in the world is incomplete. Jiang Wang has also read it, but he just didn't remember it for a while.
"So he is really a true gentleman who practices the Four Virtues?"
Tang Guo shook his head and said: "No, the point is as you said before. He can pass through more than 500 monsters unharmed, or it is a gentleman's virtue that can directly restrain 500 monsters, but this is really unreasonable, otherwise With the emergence of great scholars in the world, won’t all monsters become gentlemen?”
"So there is only one truth, and it comes from his true identity."
Jiang Wang looked at Tang Guo in surprise and asked, "What is your identity?"
Tang Guo clapped his hands and said, "Monster!"
Jiang Wang was very surprised, "A monster who practices the four virtues of a gentleman?"
Although there was Yanshanjun in the front who loved reading, he was just reading. How could there be other monsters besides Yanshanjun who knew how to read, or even learned how to read?
Tang Guo said: "Confucianism fell after the Battle of Zhushen, and it was stronger during the Battle of Mozhang than it is now. If the monsters in these two periods were naturally able to read more books than the scholars of the current generation, there is nothing surprising about this. But there is only one kind of person who really studies hard as a monster and studies with concentration."
She pointed at the scholars who were chatting happily with the four people in the mountains and fields, and said categorically: "The great demon, the scholar in white!"
"Yanshanjun is not the only monster who loves reading. The scholar in white is the best among them. Yanshanjun just loves reading. The scholar in white regards himself as a scholar. He cannot fully achieve the four virtues of a gentleman. The best is only ...Both sides.”
At this point, Tang Guo was in a trance for a moment, but he didn't care and continued: "The first is to make people become very polite, which is equivalent to making people put down the butcher's knife. The most important thing is not to hit him, but to directly attack him. Enemies become friends, even against your will.”
"The second is to make people honest and unable to lie. This is very useful when it is useful, otherwise it is meaningless. And because it can restrain the monks in the snow bathing realm, the knight in white is relatively difficult to deal with, but his own demon power is mediocre. .”
Jiang looked at it and said, "You know a lot. I haven't seen the scholar in white anywhere else. Is it because he is very few in number and doesn't show up easily?"
Tang Guo said proudly: "The status of the scholar in white makes him very special among the monsters. It happens that there are records in Mantang Mountain, and they say that my head is full of wisdom. Naturally, it is because I have read a lot of books. As for why there are few rumors from the outside world, I seem to have seen the relevant description, but why can’t I remember it for a moment?”
After talking about it, Tang Guo made a grimace and hit his head with his hand.
Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that the scholar in white is not that simple.
Jiang Wang lowered his eyes and saw the scholar in white leading the four people from the county examination to the place where monsters gathered.
The four people seemed not to be wary at all, chatting, laughing, and holding hands.
Jiang Wang felt very strange.
If you are a scholar in white, even if your demon power is mediocre, but with the restraint of a gentleman's virtue, killing four people should be like searching for something. What's more, there are five hundred demons hiding around, and a few Aoyin will be enough. Why bother to show up and take them away? Where to lead?
Except for the green-robed man from the Changshou Sect who had the skills to kill Ao Yin, the other three had no choice but to die if they met Ao Yin.
Thinking that Chi Tui is entangled in Tangtang in Mantang Mountain, the monster's plan must be to complete the goal before the big thing appears in Shendu, and will not delay the time for no reason, then there are monsters in this mountain and wilderness, or in those four people who must get it. To get this thing, you can't kill the person directly, otherwise it will be difficult to explain the behavior of the scholar in white.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wang did not act rashly, wanting to see what the monster was going to do.
"Your Excellency is a disciple of Yuyuan?"
The scholar in white glanced at Changshou Sect monk Zhen Zhenjing and smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying it, but in Zhen Zhenjing's eyes, this was already tantamount to admission.
"Yuyuan disciples rarely participated in the Autumn Festival in previous years. After all, as long as they successfully graduate, it will be more important than being the leader of the Autumn Festival. It seems that you want to take this opportunity to relax?"
The scholar in white is still noncommittal.
His gentleman's restraint would naturally be much easier to use on monks below the Snow Bathing Realm. It was even as simple as searching a bag to retrieve something, but it was also time-limited. He didn't want to waste time and words, and saw the area where the monsters were hiding. Even though Zhen Zhengjing was restrained, He couldn't help but asked in a daze: "There is a demonic spirit ahead, let's stop."
This kind of restriction only makes them very polite, and they will not refuse if it is not too difficult to accept, just like the scholar in white who proposed to go shopping, but it does not mean that they are completely controlled and aware of the danger ahead. , Zhen Zhenjing reasonably dissuaded him.
The scholar in white said: "You are all true gentlemen, why should you be afraid of evil spirits?"
The three men in black felt that they were justified, but Zhen Zhenjing, who had the highest level of cultivation, struggled a little and said: "But I noticed that there is more than one monster in front of me. Although they all seem to be small monsters, there seems to be some problem with the number. We need to be more vigilant." "
The white-clothed scholar smiled and said: "Brother Zhen has profound cultivation and is only one step away from the Snow Bathing Realm. What's more, Brother Zhen is upright and awe-inspiring. He holds the secret knowledge of Changshou Sect. No matter how many monsters there are, isn't it still Brother Zhen's achievement? This is That’s a good thing.”
Zhen Zhengjing nodded and said: "It does make sense. The county test is to see who kills more monsters. It doesn't depend on the level of the monsters. It's just that we all want to kill more powerful monsters."
The scholar in white walked in front, and the four of them were soon surrounded by demons.
Jiang Wang and Tang Guo looked down from high in the sky.
Watching helplessly, the scholar in white seemed to trick a fool into letting Zhen Zhenjing stand in a certain position, but did nothing special to the other three.
"It seems that his target is the person from the Changshou Sect?"
"There must be a reason for the designated position." Jiang Wang observed carefully and saw that there was a faint and inexplicable flow of energy, which was different from external objects. This was because the scholar in white began to move. Before that, Jiang Wang had no idea.
Sure enough, the evil god Chi Kuai could be brought in as the vanguard, and the plan of the big demon behind the scenes was almost perfect.
"If the scholar in white clothes can restrain the monks in the bathing snow realm, then even among the county examination candidates, there will be a younger generation of bathing snow realms. The strong men in charge of the examination will always pay attention and will not let it go. But the scholar in white clothes appears here. It can be described as silent.”
Jiang Wang looked at the town hundreds of miles away from the mountain, squinted and said, "It's as if they can't see the scholar in white at all."
Tang Guo was annoyed again, "I remember very clearly that the scholar in white must have other abilities, but I just can't remember them. He is clearly about to reveal them. This must not be my problem."
Jiang Wang just frowned and continued to look down at the mountains.
Aoyin has shown up.
The three men in black were panicked.
Zhen Zhenjing wanted to do something, but his face turned pale and he fell to his knees unable to do anything.
The scholar in white smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, what's going on?"
Zhen Zhengjing said with difficulty: "Something is wrong."
The scholar in white nodded and said: "This place is the source of life for hundreds of miles around. To put it simply, it is like the eye of the formation. If this place is destroyed, the life force for hundreds of miles around will be cut off. Although it will not change in an instant, But it can be as short as a few days or as long as several months. No vegetation can grow, the rivers dry up, and they gradually become deserted."
Zhen Zhengjing said blankly: "What do you mean by this?"
The scholar in white looked to himself and said: "That was under normal circumstances of destroying the life spring. There used to be evil cultivators who would specifically find such a place to absorb the life spring for practice, thereby increasing their cultivation. But in fact, the life spring is more useful than that. .”
As soon as the words fell, Zhen Zhenjing felt his body's Huang Tingqi flowing away, and his head seemed to explode. He wailed and rolled on the ground.
The restraint of a gentleman also breaks down at this moment.
Zhen Zhengjing was full of rage. In addition to his own emotions, there were also previously suppressed emotions that exploded without restraint, "You are..."
He yelled, but stopped abruptly.
The words stopped very suddenly.
His face turned red instantly.
In addition to feeling depressed that I couldn't say a word, there was also a moment when I didn't know what I wanted to say. Even though I had said all the words, my mind suddenly went blank.
Jiang Wangze was shocked.
He got the key!
Some people died, but not completely...
