"But Mr. Yin is not in the academy." The doorman said, "Mr. Yin went out yesterday."
"Not here?" Bai Ze was stunned for a moment and said, "May I ask when Mr. Yin will come back?"
The doorman shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. When you go out, how can you say anything to a doorman like me?"
Bai Ze had a strange intuition in his heart. Could it be that Mr. Yin was hiding from him? Then he asked: "I wonder, is there a girl named Yu Youwei in the academy?"
"Miss Yu?" The doorman looked at Bai Ze suspiciously and said warily: "Of course there is. But she is no longer in the academy."
"Not in the academy?" Bai Ze looked puzzled and asked, "Could it be that he also traveled far away?"
The doorman frowned and said: "If you are not in the academy, you have already graduated. As for whether you have traveled far away, how do I know?"
"So, I'm sorry to bother you." Bai Ze was silent for a moment, then said goodbye and left.
The doorman looked at Bai Ze's leaving figure and felt that this man was very strange. He shook his head and ran away in the rain, back to the corridor of the academy.
Bai Ze walked down the mountain.
The mountain road is winding, as if it were coming, and it looks especially lonely in the pattering spring rain.
Bai Ze walked out of a section of the mountain road and felt something in his heart. He suddenly looked back and looked at the green and white archway at the end of the mountain road. The four characters "seeking for others instead" came into view, which instantly made him return to the realm of perfection. , the soul sea is clear and bright, just like the bright moon in the sky.
Bai Ze heard the sound of breaking shackles ringing in his ears. In the golden spring of the sea of souls, the image of his true self was clearly reflected at this moment, without even the slightest blur.
If you are unable to do something, you will seek others from yourself.
At this moment, Bai Ze felt that all the confusion in his heart was gone.
Traveling far south, the answer he asked for was actually not important at the beginning. Bai Ze bathed in the spring rain and looked at the four big characters on the archway, finally convinced of the answer buried deep in his heart.
He finally understood what the question Yu Youwei asked him originally meant.
Maybe he already knew it.
"Bai Ze. If one day you suddenly find out that I am bad, will you kill me?" That night, Yu Youwei asked him, "Just like your master killed Chen Jianjia, kill me too."
The green-robed swordsman let out a long sigh.
It turns out that in this world, it is so difficult to face one's true heart. Bai Ze thought of those who died in the demonic chaos in the Southern Territory, of Handan, the capital of Yan that had fallen, and of those evil blood eyes.
The chaotic thoughts set off a storm in the heart, but were suppressed by the swordsman in green shirt. The true self of Hunquan was violently shaken, and it was finally determined not to be confused.
"Since you have become my inner demon, Yu Youwei, you can't escape in this life." Bai Ze laughed, and his heart swallowed the crazy storm in one gulp and returned to peace, "Those things, if they are true You did it, so you deserve to have your legs broken by me..."
Bai Ze thought of Xu Jingting, and the aurora sword seal in the depths of the soul sea shone brightly.
"I won't be him." Bai Ze looked at the four characters "seeking for others instead of others" and said softly: "I will only be me."
As soon as these words came out, the thunder was so powerful that it made a deafening roar in the sky.
"Boom!!——"
The academy doorman was frightened by the sound of thunder. He hunched his neck and looked at the gloomy sky. He saw black clouds looming over the sky, and a terrifying thunderstorm was brewing in the sky.
"It's strange. It's said to be the spring thunder that stings, but isn't this thunder too powerful?" the doorman muttered, "Isn't this going to shock the insects in the soil to death?"
The door boy didn't know what the rolling thunder was, but there were countless people in the academy who knew the origin of the thunder.
In a quiet pavilion in the academy, two gentlemen were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea, each holding black and white stones, and playing chess on the chessboard. Hearing the thunder, one of them raised his eyes slightly, looked in the direction of the academy mountain road, and said, "It seems that this person is the one Yin Tao is hiding from?"
"He is truly a heroic young man." Another person said calmly, "It's quite interesting that he actually ran to the academy gate to escape the tribulation."
"Tell me, did Yin Tao figure something out?" the man said, "otherwise, why did he hide out suddenly?"
"Senior brother, if you were to shorten your life for dozens of years because of calculating a person's cause and effect, you would avoid him." Another person said, paused, and added: "What's even worse is that there is nothing. Figure it out.”
"When you say that, I really want to see what this kid is capable of." The man laughed and looked in the direction where the thunder was gathering.
"Senior brother, please do as you please." The other person said with a serious face, "Junior brother, I won't get involved." After a pause, "Junior brother is still young and wants to live a few more years."
"..."
On the other side, at the moment when the sky thunder gathered, Bai Ze felt it in his heart. Without any hesitation, he directly raised his energy into the sky and headed straight for the outside of Suiyang City.
If he were to survive the tribulation here, even if the thunder didn't strike him to death, he would still be considered by the old gentlemen from Yuelu Academy to cause trouble, and he would most likely be killed alive because of the thunder tribulation he caused, which destroyed the gate of the academy. Beat him to death.
Bai Ze used all his strength to stimulate the innate pure yang energy in his body, turning it into a rainbow light, and finally flew outside Suiyang City before the first thunder struck down.
But the mighty power of the sky thunder has made half of the people in Suiyang look sideways, looking at the terrifying thunder clouds in the west of the city. It is like the punishment of a world-destroying god. The thunder and lightning are galloping in the huge vortex of black clouds, and the fierce sky wind is stirring in all directions. The sound of thunder is like the battle of thousands of armies above the nine heavens, roaring!
"Oh my god, what is that?!" someone exclaimed in the rain.
"Thunder Tribulation!" Someone shouted, "Look in the direction, it's over to the academy. Could it be that a sage has been born in the academy?!"
"Are you kidding?" Another person said, "The thunder tribulation that the Sage Realm needs to overcome is a Yin thunder tribulation! This is clearly a Yang thunder tribulation."
"Fu Sheng Boundless Heavenly Lord." Some people were shocked and turned pale. "This is the first time I have seen such a terrifying thunder tribulation in the four realms! When the Confucian Sword crossed the thunder tribulation in the four realms, there was no such terrifying scene. Could it be that the academy is going to produce someone The Supreme One who is stronger than the Confucian Sword of the past?!"
"Hiss!" Someone took a breath of cold air, "In the past ten years, there have been many outstanding talents in the academy. This is to catch up with the trend of Jixia Academy!"
Some people sneered at this, "The Academy is strong, but if you want to compete with the Academy, I'm afraid it's not qualified."
"I heard that the Confucian swordsman attained enlightenment on the Lancang River and cut off the Tianhe Waterfall with one sword." Someone said, "With such a talent, it is only a matter of time before you surpass the Master of the Academy. Why do you need to emulate others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"
"Song Zhi asked what virtue and ability he had?" Someone sneered, "The defeated general is simply the disgrace of our Song Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed and they all looked at him angrily.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man immediately kept silent and slipped away silently.
It has been two years since Ru Jian left Suiyang. When Song Zhiwen was disgraced and left Suiyang City, everyone yelled that he would be beaten, and he was stabbed in the chest with a sword in the street. It can be said that he met a miserable end.
However, after Song Zhiwen left, the Song State suffered several embarrassing losses in the game with the Qi State, losing his wife and losing troops. Those Song people who were stunned by anger at the beginning thought of the virtue of the Confucian sword again.
The people of the Song Dynasty were abusing the new general of the Song Dynasty, claiming that compared with Song Zhiwen, this general was not even worthy of carrying shoes for Confucian swords!
In the temple, a group of officials wrote letters one after another to "redress the injustice" of the former general of the Song Dynasty, who was suave and outstanding in cultivation. He declared conclusively that "victory and defeat are common matters for military officers." In 2000, it was normal to suffer several defeats. Even the veteran generals who had been fighting all their lives would sometimes stumble. How could the Song Dynasty destroy the Great Wall and be so harsh on Confucian swords?
If they hadn't been so high-spirited and added insult to injury when Song Zhiwen was overthrown, I'm afraid these people would really be regarded as leaders by the righteous people in the imperial court.
However, everyone in the government and the public has changed the direction of the situation regarding Song Zhiwen's defeat at the hands of the young man Chen Shouren, which caused heavy casualties to Zheng's army during the Song Dynasty's expedition.
I don't know who made the move in the dark. Overnight, Song Zhiwen's defeat was pointed directly at Zhang Yan, the eunuch in charge of the Song Dynasty! Yang Cheng, the deputy general of the Song Army who participated in the battle against Zheng, and Li Feng, the staff general, stood up one after another and angrily criticized Zhang Yan, the inspector-general of the military governor, for missing the opportunity to fight and fleeing before the battle. As a result, the former army led by Song Zhiwen was besieged in Sishui Pass and was isolated and helpless. As a result, the entire battle against Zheng was defeated.
As soon as this incident came out, the government and the public were in an uproar.
King Junzi Qi of the Song Dynasty could not withstand the pressure and had to put Zhang Yan in prison.
Song Prime Minister Qian Qi took the opportunity to launch an attack, interrogating Zhang Yan day and night, and frequently punished him. How could this eunuch with the palm print, who controlled everything in the inner court, withstand this kind of mental and physical torture? Within three days, Zhang Yan bowed his head and confessed, and eventually died under mysterious circumstances in prison.
As soon as Zhang Yan died, the power of the Song Dynasty's internal court immediately seemed to collapse. The civil servant group headed by Song Prime Minister Qian Qi in the outer court had the potential to unify the court.
But no matter what changes happened in the Song Dynasty court, after Ru Jian left Suiyang, no one knew his whereabouts.
Therefore, as soon as the news came from the other side of the Lancang River that "the Confucian sword enlightened the Tao and the sword slashed the Tianhe River", the whole city of Song Dynasty was excited, everyone was guessing when Song Zhiwen would return to the court.
Some people have even written to the King of Song, forcing him to issue an imperial edict and ask Ru Jian to return to the Song Dynasty court and assume the position of general.
But what these people don't know is that the person who enlightened Lancangjiang was not Song Zhiwen at all, but Bai Ze!
At this time, the person who cut the river with a sword and was rumored to be "cutting the Tianhe with a sword" was going through a thunderstorm outside Suiyang City in the countryside to the west.
"Boom!!——"
The ferocious thunder light burst through the air, and the violent aura rushed straight to Bai Ze's face with a devastating force!
A bright light flashed between heaven and earth, and in an instant, the rolling thunder came to Bai Ze's eyes.
"Bai Ze." The cold voice of the Jianling Mountain Ghost suddenly sounded in his ears.
Bai Ze understood clearly and knew that the mountain ghost was reminding him to use the thunder from the first half of the thunder tribulation to temper his body. He immediately gritted his teeth, leaving his whole body undefended, and allowed the first lightning strike to hit him hard!
The moment the thunder struck, Bai Ze was so angry that he danced and danced because of the terrifying power of the thunder. However, he remained silent and relied on his own perseverance to withstand the first thunder. Then he started running the "Pure Yang Sutra" crazily. 》, refining the thunder power that was immersed in the body and rushing wildly everywhere, and tempering the bones and blood.
