Great scholar!
This is the highest position of Confucianism in the world!
If a great Confucian goes up, he or she will be a sage.
But in this era, there are no saints in Confucianism, no deities in Taoism, and no Buddha in Buddhism.
It can be said that the great scholars are the top people in the world.
Such a person actually wants to see me by name? Why?
Chen Luo was puzzled.
However, Chen Luo was confused and still followed Cai Tongchen's instructions, quickly tidied up his appearance, and followed him to the county government office.
The dying and ragged boy was naturally handed over to Xiaohuan's care.
…
"Are you Chen Luo?" When Cai Tongchen took Chen Luo back to the county office, Wei Yan was writing. He put down the brush in his hand, helped Chen Luo, who was bowing and bowing, looked up and down, and then sighed, "What a pity, he is not my Confucian disciple."
Chen Luo smiled helplessly: "This junior has a dull talent. Without the talent of thorough reading, he cannot produce awe-inspiring righteousness."
"It's okay..." Wei Yan gestured for Chen Luo to sit down and said gently, "Haoran's righteousness is just a way of cultivation, not needed for learning."
"I heard that you have a book spirit that can eat ghosts and explore souls. I wonder if you can meet it?"
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment. This great scholar wants to see Zhong Kui? He glanced at Cai Tongchen, who nodded and signaled Chen Luo to do as he did.
Chen Luo shouted "Zhong Kui" softly, and a black mist appeared out of thin air, and Zhong Kui emerged from the mist. He saluted Cai Tongchen and Wei Yan and stood beside Chen Luo.
"Wonderful..." Wei Yan, however, seemed to have seen a peerless beauty. He stood up and took two steps closer. His eyes almost turned emerald, and he just stared at Zhong Kui, looking up and down.
"As a ghost, he is also a spirit, and he still has the power of heaven..." Wei Yan suddenly looked at Chen Luo, "Can he eat ghosts?"
Chen Luo looked at the somewhat strange scholar and nodded slightly.
Wei Yan said "wait a moment", then stepped out and disappeared into the county government office.
"Uncle..." Chen Luo looked at Cai Tongchen who looked embarrassed, "What does Wei Daru mean?"
Cai Tongchen shook his head: "I don't know either. I reported the story of the literary heart to my master before. When my master heard about your book spirit, he fell into deep thought and finally asked me to call you here..."
Before Cai Tongchen finished speaking, Wei Yan appeared in front of Chen Luo again. With a wave of his hand, two black figures were thrown out from Wei Yan's sleeves. They turned out to be two wandering spirit-level imps.
"This is the wild ghost at the mass grave outside the city. Let this book spirit eat two and let me see..."
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment. Seeing Wei Yan's serious face, which didn't look like he was joking at all, he turned his head and winked at Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui was also confused. Is this the rhythm of taking care of the meal?
However, Chen Luo gave him an order, and he didn't refuse. He strode up to the two wandering spirits, grabbed one with each hand, opened his mouth and started eating.
The picture is extremely bloody!
Until Zhong Kui finished eating the two wandering spirits, licked his lips, burped, and stood next to Chen Luo again.
"Wonderful...wonderful..." Wei Yan actually laughed heartily, and then suddenly bent down and saluted Chen Luo, which shocked both Chen Luo and Cai Tongchen. Chen Luo stepped aside, and Cai Tongchen hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Yan and asked, "Teacher, what are you doing! Luo'er is a junior and cannot afford such a great gift from you!"
"Let's go, let's go!" Wei Yan shook off Cai Tongchen with a wave of his hand, "You are good at learning, but you are ignorant of world affairs. What a big deal this is, and you are not even aware of it!"
Cai Tongchen also looked confused, wondering what he had overlooked.
Wei Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Luo: "Little friend, let me change the place to talk!"
Chen Luo felt as if he was weightless for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing high in the sky. At his feet was an ancient car covered with Zhu Xian soap. The great scholar Wei Yan stood beside him, and Zhong Kui stood behind him, vaguely protective.
"Mr. Wei, what are you..."
Wei Yan looked down and interrupted Chen Luo: "Little friend, do you know the three disasters in the world?"
Chen Luo shook his head.
"Barbaric disasters, ghost disasters, demon disasters!" Wei Yan's gaze suddenly became far-reaching and he looked towards the horizon, "Needless to say, barbaric disasters and demonic disasters. Since the founding of our human race, we have fought barbarians in the north and monsters in the south. Everyone knows it.”
"Only this ghost disaster, Zi Fuyu's strange power and chaos, few people know about it."
"Even if you know it, you know it, but you don't know why."
Wei Yan retracted his gaze towards the horizon, looked down again, and asked, "What did you see?"
Full of doubts, Chen Luo looked down and saw that the city below was Wan'an County where the lanterns were just starting to light up. People who went out to work were returning home one after another, and restaurants and pubs were crowded.
"Every house is bright, the country is peaceful and the people are safe?"
Wei Yan chuckled lightly, waved his sleeves, and a ray of green light shot into Chen Luo's body. Chen Luo's eyes flashed with a ray of green light and said, "Look again!"
Chen Luo looked down again, and his expression changed. At this time, he saw clouds of black mist floating in Wan'an County, and there were countless groups of people outside the city.
"These are... ghosts?"
Wei Yan sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, it's a ghost!"
"The sages have said that somewhere invisible in this world, there is a river of living beings. When a living being dies, the aura of wisdom dissipates and turns into a simple spirit body, which can be attracted by the river of living beings and thrown into the river. Or Being carried away by the river of life to another place, falling down again, and being reincarnated into another life, or going away with the river of life and entering the legendary underworld."
When Chen Luo heard this, he suddenly felt suspicious. According to Wei Yan's statement, is there no underworld or six realms of reincarnation in this world?
At this moment, Zhong Kui's message suddenly sounded in Chen Luo's heart: "My lord, do you remember that someone said before that there is something strange about the underworld here?"
"A certain family tried to enter the underworld, but it seemed to be blocked by a force. It seems that the underworld is not known by a certain family to attract ghost creatures."
"A certain family has not sensed the breath of reincarnation."
Chen Luo was surprised and looked at Wei Yan; "Then how did these ghosts come here? Logically speaking, didn't they enter the river of living things?"
Wei Yan shook his head: "No matter human, demon or barbarian, there is wisdom and aura in the soul. Taking humans as an example, after death, the soul leaves the body, and the wisdom and aura should dissipate. But there are some people who either have obsessions or He has desires, but he can cling to the last bit of aura and not be attracted by the river of life.”
"Over time, when the spiritual light dissipates and is forgotten by the river of living beings, it turns into a ghost."
"Ghosts need the essence of living beings to survive forever, so there is a saying that ghosts harm people."
"The base of living beings in this world is too large. Even if only one percent or even one thousandth of the souls turn into ghosts, over time, there will be a huge number of ghosts. Even if most of them are the lowest wandering ghosts, But the harm is not small, this is a ghost disaster!"
