The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 3063 Hunting Huolin in the West

Kong Changxun let out a long sigh, then took Fang Yun's teapot in a familiar manner, pointed it at the spout, and poured the water into his mouth.

The majestic head of the Confucius family, who was more than a semi-saint, actually drank tea in big gulps with his Adam's apple rolling up and down. He didn't have the demeanor of a scholar, but more like a green forest hero.

Fang Yun felt a little sorry for his magical tea.

This retribution came a bit quickly.

After emptying the teapot, Kong Changxun let out a long sigh, as if he had drunk too much, and his eyes were a little confused.

Fang Yun looked at the time and saw that the imperial examination was about to begin, and he, the examiner, had to go back to the temples to supervise the examination.

If we don't resolve the matter, today will be in vain.

Fang Yun said: "Shenggong Yan, do you know the intention of my coming here?"

"I do know." Kong Changxun's tone was full of regret.

"What should you do?" Fang Yun asked.

Kong Changxun sighed and said: "What is supposed to come will always come."

Now it was Fang Yun's turn to be confused, wondering what kind of riddle Kong Changxun was playing.

After a few breaths, Kong Changxun said: "Before the ancestor died, he once said something to the head of the family at that time. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been passed down to me. Including me, the past generations are not completely sure what it means, until today."

"What did Kong Sheng say?" Fang Yun asked curiously.

Fang Yun knew that at the end of the "Historical Records of Confucius" in ancient China, Confucius lamented that he was about to die. However, in Shengyuan Continent, Confucius was canonized and what he said before his death was unknown.

"Before the death of the saint, the ancestor jumped on his feet and said: 'My way is poor, don't teach me.' Then he said, if that person arrives, you must listen to that person. When the head of the family asked who that person was, the ancestor said , you will know when that person arrives.”

Fang Yun frowned.

It is recorded in the "Historical Records" of ancient China that Confucius was indeed too pessimistic and said, "My way is poor" and believed that his Confucian way was no longer feasible. In ancient China, Confucius said before his death, "No one can teach me", which means that no one can pursue his ideas.

But before the death of Saint Kong Sheng of Shengyuan Continent, he said, "My way is too limited, so don't teach it to me." This meant that he knew that his holy way had reached its end, and he did not want anyone to continue to inherit his ideas and holy way.

When he said these two sentences, Kong Sheng was actually happy.

Fang Yun's eyes suddenly lit up and he remembered a detail.

Both "Historical Records" record an incident. In the fourteenth year of Duke Ai of Lu, in Daye, Duke Ai of Lu encountered a unicorn while hunting and was taken away by Kong Sheng!

This is the famous allusion of "Hunting to the West to Harvest Lin".

In ancient China, this was just a legend, but in Shengyuan Continent, this was a turning point for Kong Sheng.

Because not long after, Confucius was canonized!

Fang Yun suddenly showed a mysterious smile and asked: "Where is that unicorn?"

Kong Changxun looked at Fang Yun in disbelief, and said with a trembling voice: "Where did you... use the tributaries of the Taikoo Galaxy to go?"

"What do you think?" A strange smile appeared on Fang Yun's lips.

Kong Changxun stared at Fang Yun for a long time, trembling from his scalp to his fingers. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Finally, with a complicated look on his face, he said: "If it were really you, the entire Kong family would not dare to disobey orders."

"So happy?" Fang Yun asked with a smile.

Kong Changxun sighed: "You don't know something. The family heads of all generations have been thinking about the last words of their ancestors. Our guesses are very consistent. Our ancestors have a mind for eternity and will not be immersed in their own false fame. Therefore, he is not only not afraid of seeing someone surpass him. , he would even be happy to see someone surpass himself. Before his death, he was promoted to the Saint Ancestor and gained more enlightenment, so he realized that someone would inevitably create a new path on his own. Surpassing him, so we are very happy. As for that person, we were all guessing, but we didn't expect it to be you until... We got speculation about you from the demon world and the dragon clan, plus you suddenly asked about Qilin, the greatest possibility. It's ready to come out. No wonder Confucius gave you the power of "Spring and Autumn". In this way, it is natural that you can go through the nine mountains and see the things on the top of the mountain. "

Fang Yun said: "Before the canonization, I didn't know about it, but after the canonization, I understood why the life span of the saints suddenly shortened after the death of all the sub-sages."

"Alas..." Kong Changxun sighed.

Fang Yun showed respect and said: "After I was canonized, I discovered that the lifespan of each semi-saint is obviously not more than two hundred years, but after two hundred years, if the semi-saint cannot break through the sub-sage, he will gradually weaken. Birth, old age, illness and death, It's human nature. However, the human half-saints are not so greedy for life and fear of death, so they simply die at the peak of their power to retain their strength and stay in the tributaries of the holy path!"

Fang Yun looked up at the sky.

Above the sky of the human race, the tributaries of the Holy Road are mighty and mighty.

In every tributary of the holy river, there are more or less half-holy shadows.

Every time a Half-Saint Saint dies, the tributaries of the Holy Path related to the human race will be strengthened by one point.

This is why the human race grows faster than any other ethnic group!

Every half-saint, at his peak moment of death, uses his strongest power to strengthen his descendants!

Fang Yun added: "In addition to the Holy Road, they have another battlefield..."

Kong Changxun was surprised: "Some classics are only preserved in the literary world of the ancestors. How do you know where they are before you read them... I understand. In terms of time, you probably know about them earlier than the ancestors."

Fang Yun nodded slightly.

"The old man understands. When you came back from Dragon City this time, you were eager to innovate. I'm afraid it was also for that."

Fang Yun nodded again.

"In this case, I would also like to ask Fang Sheng to give an order. Everyone in the Kong family will only follow your lead." Kong Changxun's attitude completely changed.

"Does anyone outside know about Qilin?" Fang Yun asked.

Kong Changxun shook his head and said: "Only the previous family heads know that Qilin is related to that person, you. The rest only guess that the ancestors received Qilin's guidance before they could be canonized."

Fang Yun suddenly glanced in the direction down the Guofeng Mountain, with a sneer on his lips, and said, "It seems you didn't say anything about the fragments of the sun at dusk?"

Kong Changxun said hurriedly: "This object is too rare and is of great importance. Once it is leaked, the saints of all worlds may join forces to attack Shengyuan Continent. Therefore, the saints and the heads of the Yasheng family who have received this object dare not leak it. Those little brats didn’t know, otherwise they wouldn’t have gathered at the foot of Daofeng Mountain so stupidly..."

Fang Yun said casually: "Your aristocratic family can handle it on your own. I will preside over the children's examination."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he turned around and took two steps, stopping on the steps of the pavilion.

"Kong Sheng is very tired. Let him rest."

The expression in Kong Changxun's eyes changed, and he finally sighed: "I sincerely follow Fang Sheng's oracle. From then on, the Kong family withdrew from Kongcheng and returned to Qufu. They no longer regarded themselves as the head of the family, and handed over Kongcheng to the Holy Academy. After I , the Kong family no longer has a half-saint master! All the remaining holy energy is allocated by the Holy Court!"

"My Fang family has also lived in the Blood Mang Realm for generations." Fang Yun nodded and walked out of the Kong Mansion.

Kong Changxun watched Fang Yun's back disappear and murmured to himself: "He did nothing wrong. The human race does not need an omnipotent Saint Ancestor, the people do not need a king who controls everything, and the Holy Yuan Continent does not need one either. The high-ranking Kong family doesn't even need saints who can't be criticized, including himself. Who would have thought that the unicorn would be his..."

Suddenly, Kong Changxun shouted: "What if you only see white snow in front of you?"

"Someone will come to the door with new green!"

Fang Yun's voice echoed in the pavilion.
