Cyber Daming

Chapter 686: Parting ways

"Liu Jinxun, the so-called 'Confucian Preface' is essentially 'Confucianism and Dharma Bones', which runs counter to the Confucian Preface's idea of ​​'governing the world and benefiting the people'. If it is really practiced, it will only make the entire Ming Empire a mess, without any trace of it. benefit!"

"Pei Xingjian, don't talk nonsense and scaremongering here! The 'Preface to the Great Confucianism' and 'Governing the World and Helping the People' are clearly of the same origin, and they are further consolidated and improved."

Among the crowd, the young man was dressed in a snow-white Confucian shirt, like stars surrounding a bright moon, showing his wealth and elegance in every gesture.

"Take a good look at it. The royal family in the empire is now decadent, Wu Xu is running rampant with brute force, and the Buddhist and Taoist families are deceiving all living beings with their foolish faith. If we don't practice the 'Confucian Preface' and establish our dominant position in the order, What do you rely on to govern the world, and what do you rely on to care for the people?"

"What you want to govern the world is to bring peace to the world, and what you want to care for the people is to recuperate! What you want is to depose Xiangxu and only respect Confucianism. What's the difference between that and Zonghengxu, who started wars to achieve success?"

The person who started a verbal battle with the white-clothed Confucian scholar was a slovenly young man in simple clothes and unkempt appearance.

Although the number of companions following him was far less than that of his opponent, they all had resolute expressions and their momentum was not inferior at all.

"Pei Xingjian, Zonghengxu is the ancestral preface of my Ming Dynasty royal family. Is this something you can slander casually?"

"Yes, the ancestral order of the royal family is Zongheng, but there are more than just members of the royal family in Zongheng. Little tricks like secretly changing concepts have no effect in the eyes of the public. And this is Xindonglin Academy, not the imperial temple. Why don't I dare explain?"

When he was young, Pei Xingjian was like an unsheathed sword, his words were sharp and unstoppable.

"On the other hand, you, Liu Jinxun, have clearly chosen to pursue academic studies, but here you openly flatter the royal family. Is it possible that you still want to switch to an official career one day, rely on the imperial power, and seek a smooth career?"

Pei Xingjian spoke very fast, folded his arms and sneered: "But that's right. After all, you are a direct descendant of a wealthy family. Official position, rank, and status are all within your reach. Why do you need to work hard on your own? Let me tell you, you can Shouldn't it be better to study in an academy and enjoy the protection of our ancestors? Why should we be crowded together with a bunch of mud-legged people?"

A series of sharp words were thrown out, which immediately made the atmosphere in the field tense.

The two groups of students, headed by Liu Jinxun and Pei Xingjian respectively, gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, with red eyes, stepped on their feet and stretched their necks, ready to make a move.

There are also veterans with rich experience in fighting. They lowered themselves down without leaving any trace and groped for the gravel and mud on the ground.

Liu Jinxun looked at the commotion crowd coldly: "Pei Xingjian, you said that I secretly changed my concept, aren't you also trying to deflect conflicts now?"

"Being born rich or poor is destiny. No one can change it. There is no point in provoking conflict over one's background. The only choice is the choice of people's minds. The achievements and works of our disciples in scholarship will never be inferior to yours!"

"Okay, you said that the level of truth is the choice of people's hearts. This is so good! Then let's discuss the level of truth today!"

Pei Xingjian walked around, looked around, and stood in front of Liu Jinxun.

"Let me ask you, since it is the 'Great Confucian Preface', then what makes the Confucian Preface so great?"

"Asking even though you know it."

Liu Jinxun frowned slightly. The other party's stern look and aggressive tone made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Of course it is the dominance of the imperial order."

"That's domination."

"Don't generalize."

"But you can't deny that if you want to dominate the imperial order, you must completely defeat other sequences."

Pei Xingjian blinked, "Isn't it?"

"Nowadays, sects, Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, academies, imperial powers, magicians, and craftsmen in the empire are all fighting in chaos. You are fighting for it, which has led to the loss of life and the people's livelihood. This is the situation we are facing now."

Liu Jinxun looked away from Pei Xingjian's gaze and looked around in all directions.

"You are right. To gain absolute dominance and educate all peoples, you must defeat other sequences."

Liu Jinxun turned around and looked directly at his opponent: "Now that we are united to fight against foreign enemies, aren't we doing the same thing and rebuilding the order of the empire?"

"We fight to promote coexistence among all parties and to quell civil unrest, not for one family to dominate! A slight mistake can lead to a thousand miles of misunderstanding!"

"With such a soft heart, even if we can achieve temporary coexistence at the moment, the final result will only lead to chaos again. Only by possessing absolute strength can other sequences curb their ambitions and truly achieve a long-term peace!"

"This is an unrealistic fantasy! Among the six arts of Confucianism, only the people of 'shooting' and 'imperial' have enough fighting power, but they are still no match against the martial arts and Taoist families. If it turns out to be like a drop of water. The old methods of corrosive penetration, Foxu, Yin Yang and Zongheng methods are not weak to us at all. We don’t have absolute advantages on both offense and defense. What can you use to seize absolute dominance?”

"Pei Xingjian, don't be alarmist here. Although Wu and Dao are powerful, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Although Yin Yang and Zong Heng have deep wisdom, they are nothing more than a piece of loose sand. The other sequences are nothing to be afraid of. Sooner or later, they will be driven out of the empire by us!"

"Who can't just talk on paper? If we really get to that point, will Confucius rely on you? Or will he rely on the group of well-dressed young men behind you?"

Facing the sarcastic gazes and mocking sneers, the young man in white took a step forward, his handsome brows full of magnanimity and calmness.

"If we can achieve the greatness of Confucianism, I, Liu Jinxun, will die first!"

With these words, everyone in the audience was shocked by the young man's aura.

The companions standing behind him all had red faces, trembling bodies, and raised their right arms one after another.

At first, there were chaotic voices shouting their hometowns and surnames, gradually becoming uniform, and finally converging into a deafening roar.

"Go to death first!"

"Go to death first!"

They continued to retreat, and among the crowd that was about to collapse, the young Pei Xingjian stood at the front, his face full of shock and horror.

This was the first time in his fight with this group of rich men that he was so speechless and lost so completely.

Pei Xingjian, who was so angry that he blurted out subconsciously: "Liu Jinxun, don't pretend to be so righteous. Isn't it just because this is the policy written by the mountain chief himself that's why you are like this? You are simply a villain who follows the crowd!"

"If I am a villain who follows people's opinions, then you are a clown trying to impress others!"

Looking at his opponent who was at a loss, Liu Jinxun showed a proud smile on his face: "Pei Xingjian, you go against the teachers everywhere, flaunt your own uniqueness, and play a thorny role that is fearless. In fact, you just want to attract everyone's attention. Attention and admiration from classmates!”

Pei Xingjian's face turned livid and he yelled angrily: "You are such a mouthful!"

"Bloody spewing?"

Liu Jinxun snorted coldly, and unexpectedly there was a green brick on the palm stretched out from his sleeve. The corners were still stained with green moss. It looked like it had just been removed from the nearby courtyard wall.

"Not only am I going to fucking spray you, but I'm also going to fuck you! Brothers, give me a spanking!"

Pei Xingjian's eyes widened. He wanted to retreat but someone grabbed him by the collar. He could only watch helplessly as a green-gray brick covered in mud continued to enlarge in his sight.

Snap!

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The whip shadows, which were so fast that they were blurry, struck Pei Xingjian's back mercilessly, until the skin and flesh were torn.

"Pei Xingjian, you don't know how to study the six arts all day long. You take the lead in making trouble everywhere. You disrespect your teachers and classmates. Do you feel that no one in this New Donglin Academy deserves your respect? The rules in the academy cannot control you, so you want to Just say what you say and do whatever you want?"

"Chief, all students in the academy can speak freely, but how can I be considered disobedient to the rules you have set?"

At this moment, Pei Xingjian's face was bruised and swollen, his nose was crooked, and he was shivering in pain every time he spoke, but he still spoke harshly.

"And the students do not disrespect their teachers and classmates at all. On the contrary, it is precisely because the students respect them very much that they discuss the academic and philosophies of our Confucian order with them so enthusiastically."

"Are you sure you are just discussing and not picking a fight?"

"Of course not"

Pei Xingjian threw his head, making a snapping sound, and was stuck at a weird angle, unable to move.

"A gentleman talks with his words but never with his hands. As a student, he will be practicing 'etiquette' in the future. How could he do such a crude act without respecting etiquette?"

"You mean, not only did you not do anything wrong, but you did something very good?"

Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "I can't say it's very good, at most it's average. I still need to learn more from you."

"Then can you tell me what happened to Liu Jinxun's eyes? Wasn't it you who hit him?"

Pei Xingjian turned his head subconsciously when he heard this, and happened to see Liu Jinxun kneeling next to him, staring at him with dark circles under his eyes.

In the group fight that just broke out, although Pei Xingjian himself was attacked by a sneak attack and was hit in the face with a brick, he endured the severe pain and did not fall down. He opened his bow left and right, flung his arms and went towards Liu Jinxun was slapped on the face.

On the other hand, those rich people who were incited by Liu Jinxun and moaned and groaned, all of them still couldn't change their nature of being strong outsiders but weaklings in the middle, and lost their courage after seeing a little blood. Although they had such a huge numerical advantage, they were still defeated by their own side.

"This time I was not well prepared for the civil fight. Fortunately, I still won a great victory in the martial arts battle and did not lose face."

Pei Xingjian's thoughts turned rapidly, and he felt proud for a while.

"But Chief Shan seems very angry today. If this bastard Liu Jinxun adds insult to injury again, he will be in dire straits."

Just when Pei Xingjian sighed and was about to confess, a hoarse voice sounded in his ears.

"To tell you what the commander said, this injury was accidentally caused by me during the chaos just now and has nothing to do with Junior Brother Pei."

Pei Xingjian looked shocked, and saw two inconspicuous black eyes moving left and right among the two groups of black bruises, with arrogance in his eyes.

This bastard

"Liu Jinxun, are you sure?" the old man asked in a deep voice.

"Sure!"

"Pei Xingjian, do you think so too?"

Seeing the old man turning his head to look, Pei Xingjian bowed his head honestly: "Chief, the student knows he is wrong."

"You're lucky this time."

The old man snorted coldly: "Get out! If the next time happens, just pack up and get out."

"Okay."

Pei Xingjian curled up into a ball, kicked off his feet, and rolled away.

"Lawless little bastard."

Liu Jinxun clearly heard the faint smile in the curses above his head, and his heart suddenly felt a little bit sad for no reason. It made people feel stuffy and choked, and made their nose sore.

At this moment, Pei Xingjian, who had rolled away, climbed up using his hands and feet, but instead of running away in a hurry, he looked back.

Suddenly, their eyes met.

Pei Xingjian raised his hand and made a strange gesture towards Liu Jinxun.

Outsiders may not understand the meaning, but as both students of Xindonglin Academy, Liu Jinxun naturally understands that this is a code word that is popular among their students.

The meaning is also very simple, it can only be said in two words.

Accepted.

Liu Jinxun grinned, and all the unspeakable emotions disappeared in an instant.

"Do you feel that you are moral and proud?"

The old man's tone became stern again: "Okay, you actually dare to bully the juniors in my name. If the nursing home hadn't arrived quickly this time, would you have planned to kill a few people to establish your own prestige?"

"I don't."

"Now that I know I can't say no, why were you so bloody when you were trying to excuse Pei Xingjian just now?"

Snap!

A whip shadow fell, and the piercing pain ripped open the skin and penetrated into the bones.

"As a senior, I don't want to set an example for everyone, but I have learned the loyalty of those warriors, fighting and making trouble over nothing."

"Do you understand the pros and cons of my policy? Have you thought clearly about the key points? You dare to speak nonsense in public if you don't understand anything. It's okay if you don't want to make progress yourself, but don't involve yourself in misleading other students. !”

The whip shadow kept falling, blood splattered everywhere.

Liu Jinxun held his head high and gritted his teeth, despite the severe pain, and remained silent.

"you"

An iron bar was thrown on the ground covered with sweat and blood.

"You have a bad temper, you are stubborn, you are ruthless to others, and you are ruthless to yourself. I really don't know how you developed such a temperament. If you are like this, you will suffer big losses after leaving the academy!"

"Then I will not leave the academy and serve you all my life."

"Stubborn."

The old man scolded sternly: "Liu Jinxun, do you know you are wrong?"

Liu Jinxun, who was covered in blood, knelt down tremblingly, with his hands on his legs, his back straight and his expression determined.

"What do you mean?"

"Teacher, I was not wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, his black hair turned into white hair, and the blood on his body turned into smoke.

Decades apart, there seemed to be two figures of Liu Jinxun, a young man and an old man, overlapping each other. They knelt in front of the old man and said the same thing.

"Obviously even Pei Xingjian once admired me, and even he doesn't support your current ideas. Why do you abandon us and choose to go your own way?"

Liu Jinxun's voice trembled: "Teacher, do you really think you are not wrong at all?"

"What's wrong with me?"

The old man who had just bent his bow to shoot at the moon had lost all his wildness and heroism, leaving only a stubborn old man.

"You have carefully cultivated Emperor Jiaqi Zhu Yiyan in the capital for thirteen years, but he still has not changed his wild and wild nature. What you want in your heart is to revive the Zhu Ming royal family by any means possible!"

"You took action to protect the legal order and supported the merchants to control the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but Shang Sigu still chose to rebel and desperately wanted to kill you!"

"You want to reform the Confucian order and let Pei Xingjian and Yang Baize massacre so many powerful families. Don't forget that they also stood unswervingly behind you. Even if they are faced with mountains of swords and seas of fire, they will not back down!"

The continuous questioning seemed to be more powerful than the sword energy blasted down by the stars in the sky, making Zhang Fengyue shake his figure and stagger back.

A strong hand supported the old man's retreating figure.

Li Jun stood next to Zhang Fengyue, with a bloody knife mark across his chest and holding a twisted ruler in his right hand.

As for Shang Sigu, the only remaining traces are the dots dancing in front of Li Jun's eyes.

"You left Xindonglin Academy, and I no longer have a principal. But I still regard you as a teacher and an idol that I will follow throughout my life. But this thing you did made me understand that you can also make mistakes."

Liu Jinxun stopped kneeling and stood up.

"Cut off the sequence, the ultimate power of heaven and earth is just what you thought of, but now it has to be forced on everyone in the world. Teacher, have you considered us at all in your heart? Have you?!"

"You don't understand, Jinxun."

Zhang Fengyue didn't want to look at those hot eyes anymore. He closed his eyes and raised his head with a sad and helpless tone.

"It's not that I don't understand you, it's that you never understand me."

Liu Jinxun's eyes were red. He raised his hand and beat his chest with a fist. He made a muffled sound and his mouth and nose were bleeding.

"In your eyes, the only student who can satisfy you is Pei Xingjian. There has never been a place for me. Even though I followed you out of the academy and into the temple, and I have been respectful all my life, you still say that I am wrong and that I am not good enough. Understand!"

"You are not my mountain chief, nor my teacher! You are just Zhang Fengyue, the chief minister of the Ming Empire, and the biggest sinner of Ruxu!"

Liu Jinxun, who looked like a madman, jumped out and seemed to risk his life to die with Zhang Fengyue.

Li Jun stepped forward and thrust out the twisted ruler in his hand without mercy.

Phew!

Liu Jinxun did not dodge or dodge, letting the cold light penetrate his chest, and letting the force of the collapse crush his heart.

"Li Jun. Do you know that if I wanted to kill you that day, you would not be able to leave Jinling that easily! I have never been afraid of you Wu Xu."

Li Jun nodded silently, and Liu Jinxun smiled upon seeing this. His eyes gradually drifted past Li Jun's shoulders and looked at the sad old man behind him.

He said in a small voice that only Li Jun could hear.

"Don't let him go, he's too tired."

Liu Jinxun fell to his knees and was breathless.

Li Jun didn't look at the text that appeared in front of him, and poured all the accumulated points into the body forging and tempering: [Wanli Guanshan].

The changes of refining and upgrading happened quietly in his body, but Li Jun had no intention to look closely. He took a deep breath, raised his right arm to shoulder level, and the floating scarlet eye did not cover the center of his eyebrows this time, but fell on his shoulder.

The dark golden armor pressed down his arm and flowed, gathering into an embroidered spring knife in his palm.

This time Li Jun no longer needed armor, he just needed an indestructible blade.

It would allow him to completely kill this tough old Taoist from Longhu Mountain!

Above the sky, the broken mountain peak did not fall, but was held up by the interlaced giant swords.

At this moment, flying out of the broken mountain debris was a figure wearing a helmet and armor, and the aura he exuded was somewhat similar to that of Chen Qisheng!

The Taoist wore armor and held a sword, and the warrior held the sword bare-chested.

There were no dazzling magic and talismans, only silver-white thunder and black-red lightning suddenly appeared between heaven and earth!

Ding!

The long-duration wind and rain swept again, blowing the old man's wide robe, and the water marks filled the grooves on his face in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Fengyue opened his eyes with difficulty, and a simple action seemed to have exhausted his strength.

"You are most like me, how could I not understand you."

He sighed faintly, but he could no longer catch up with the departing soul.
