Chu Xiu opened his third eye.
Originally, under the eyes, only the center of the black ocean in this side of the world was shining with colors, and it seemed to be the only center of this side of the world.
After opening his third eye, Chu Xiu saw another focus. It was not gorgeous, but it was extremely attractive.
The strange castle suspended high in the sky is filled with thick black fog. The darkness in the entire world seems to be emanating from this strange castle.
"Would you like to go there and have a look?" Yun Ran'er asked in a low voice. With her eyesight, she could not clearly see the specific situation of the colorful island, but she could clearly feel that the island was moving deeply. attracted her.
"There is something wrong with this world." Chu Xiu said softly.
"Uh... I can see it." Yun Ran'er paused, nodded and said, the whole world was black, only the island was colorful, this was obviously abnormal.
"Let's go and take a look first." Chu Xiu glanced at the dark and strange castle suspended in the sky far away. He took Yun Ran'er's hand and turned it into a black lightning, hitting the colorful island in the center of the black ocean.
It's coming in a blink of an eye.
After returning to his human form, Chu Xiu, who was cautious, carved out an independent space around him and Yun Ran'er.
He had a vague feeling that neither the darkness in the sky nor the bright colors of the island in front of him were normal.
"Have friends come from afar?"
Suddenly, a leisurely and rich voice sounded.
Chu Xiu and Yun Ran'er both stared at the colorful island.
At this time, Chu Xiu discovered that there was a broken fishing boat traveling in the dark ocean ten miles in front of the island.
There was a tall middle-aged drunk man lying on the fishing boat, holding a wine bottle in one hand and a book in the other.
"He should be from our Nineteenth Prefecture." Chu Xiu said softly.
"Nineteen States?" Yun Ran'er opened her eyes wide.
"Go over and have a look." Chu Xiu said, holding Yun Ran'er's hand, his figure flashed and he was in front of the fishing boat in an instant.
"I am Chu Xiu of Zhuque Academy. I wonder who your senior is?" Chu Xiu's attitude was respectful.
"Suzaku Academy..." The middle-aged drunkard shook the wine jar, "Is it still called Moshan over there?"
"Mo Shan..." Chu Xiu and Yun Ran'er looked at each other. Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Not bad, Mo Shan."
"I was very famous there back then, but I don't know if the long river of history has wiped out my existence." The middle-aged drunkard took a sip of wine.
"Who are you?" Yun Ran'er couldn't help but ask.
"My surname is Kong." said the middle-aged drunk man.
"Confucian sage." Chu Xiu whispered.
The middle-aged drunk man sat up and looked at Chu Xiu, "Am I a saint?"
"Do you have three thousand disciples?" Chu Xiu asked.
The middle-aged drunkard thought for a moment and nodded, "About three thousand people."
"Seventy-two sages?" Chu Xiu asked again.
The middle-aged drunkard hesitated and said: "It is true that there are seventy disciples who are more outstanding, but when it comes to being virtuous, they are not enough."
"'Benevolence', is this the theory you proposed?" Yun Ran'er couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, that's right." The middle-aged drunkard laughed.
"What a Confucian sage." Yun Ran'er marveled.
"Not necessarily." Chu Xiu shook his head and stared at the middle-aged drunk, "I heard that a Confucian sage met two children to debate the sun?"
"This thing has been passed down?" The middle-aged drunk man was surprised, and then smiled, "Then do you have an answer? Why does the sun in the morning look big, but not very hot; the sun at noon looks small, but Is it unusually hot? Is it stronger at noon or in the early morning?"
"We believe you are a Confucian sage." Chu Xiu chuckled.
"Haha~, the latecomers are so ferocious." The middle-aged drunkard laughed. He looked at Chu Xiu and couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Xiu's expression remained normal and he said, "You should know about our world."
The middle-aged drunkard nodded.
"There are twelve dangerous places." Chu Xiu said.
"Mo Shan is one of them." The middle-aged drunkard said.
Chu Xiu said: "My master Chen Changsheng is the founder of Suzaku Academy. From now on, he has protected our world for nearly two thousand years.
Today, I am the dean of Zhuque Academy and the guardian of our world. "
"Guardian..." A flash of surprise flashed in the middle-aged drunkard's eyes and he said, "Then your master Chen Changsheng must be a very powerful monk.
In my era, hundreds of schools of thought contended and strong men emerged in large numbers, and no one could truly come out on top.
Fortunately, although everyone has different ideas, they all face the dangers of heaven and earth in the same way. "
"My master is the undisputed number one in the world." Chu Xiu nodded and said.
"You just said that you are the dean of Suzaku Academy and the guardian of heaven and earth?" The middle-aged drunkard stared at Chu Xiu, "Where is your master?"
"Before I answer this question, I would like to ask the Confucian sage to answer a question first." Chu Xiu looked at the middle-aged drunkard, "Are you still the same person you were before?"
Hearing this, Yun Ran'er was startled, and when she looked at the Confucian Sage again, her eyes were a little more wary.
The Confucian sage smiled, lifted the wine jar, and took a swig.
"This self is the other self, and the other self is not the self." The Confucian sage said leisurely.
"The you you are now are the you you used to be; the you you used to be are no longer the you you are now..." Chu Xiu whispered, with a flash of understanding in his eyes, and said, "You are missing a part of you now."
Yun Ran'er blinked and wondered, is that what you meant?
"Can you understand this?" The Confucian sage was surprised.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not that I understand, but that I see it."
"Oh?" The Confucian sage became more and more surprised.
Chu Xiu stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky on the right, "There is a part of you in that weird castle."
The Confucian Sage's face became serious and he stared at Chu Xiu, "How did you see it? Or did you meet him in advance?"
Chu Xiu opened his third eye.
The Confucian sage was startled.
"My eye can see the trace of spiritual light." Chu Xiu said directly.
"Trajectory of spiritual light..." the Confucian sage whispered, a look of enlightenment gradually flashed in his eyes, "Your master should be a saint even if he has such a method."
Chu Xiu thought for a while and did not refute this sentence...Outside, he still had to give his master some face.
"Our master probably doesn't understand this method. I created it myself." Chu Xiu sent a message to Yun Ran'er.
A strange look flashed in Yun Ran'er's eyes, but she didn't pay attention.
"Senior, please give me some pointers." Chu Xiu said softly.
The Confucian Sage lay down on the fishing boat again, gently shaking the wine jar in his hand, "You can think of this world as a cage."
"Who is imprisoned in this cage?" Chu Xiu asked.
"Evil thoughts," said the Confucian sage.
"Evil thoughts?" Chu Xiu and Yun Ran'er were both startled.
"How to put it..." Confucian Sage thought for a while and said, "You can understand that there once was a powerful being who created an ability to separate all evil thoughts from himself.
This powerful creature originally probably wanted to get rid of his evil thoughts and let himself reach a flawless state of mind, so that his strength could be further improved.
However, after he truly separates his evil thoughts, he is left with only good thoughts. When good thoughts dominate his consciousness, good thoughts think that his evil thoughts may harm other living beings..."
At this point, the Confucian sage stopped.
"So good thoughts imprison evil thoughts?" Chu Xiu added, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Isn't it ridiculous?" Confucian Sage looked at Chu Xiu, "But that's the fact."
"What about you?" Chu Xiu stared at the Confucian sage.
"Me?" The Confucian Sage looked at the sky, his face full of pain, and said quietly, "I don't believe it."
Chu Xiu's eyes were even more weird, "Then you tried it?"
"The original me is actually not perfect." Confucian sage said, "The so-called Confucian sage must have been beautified.
Originally, I came here just to take a look, and I had no intention of staying here for the rest of my life.
However, after my evil thoughts were expelled from my body, my whole person seemed to be sublimated. I began to think that I needed to solve the problem here before I could leave.
I need to help Him who has good thoughts and defeat Him who has evil thoughts.
I need to persuade my evil thoughts to change..."
