The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

While the Demon Emperor was explaining the Three Strategies of the Soldier and Barbarian Saint to Feng Chengjue, everyone in the Jingguoli Hall gathered in the Holy Courtyard.

The Lei family is equivalent to the "Virtual Holy Family". Their status is lower than that of aristocratic families but higher than that of wealthy families. The king cannot punish them.

Above the main hall of the ceremony hall, there are three groups of brilliance suspended, and in each group of brilliance there is a copy of a book written by the semi-sage himself.

A great scholar in purple robe walked to the front of "Zhou Rites" and said: "In the ceremony of the Holy Court Chief, the scholars are not in harmony. Punishment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint red fire appeared on the "Zhou Li", which contained strange power. Except for the great scholar, everyone in the ceremony hall was affected by the fire and filled with righteous indignation.

Another great scholar in purple robes came to the front of "Rituals" and said: "When scholars meet each other, they do not bring pheasants with them. Punishment!"

"Huh..." Flames also burst out from "Ritual".

The third great scholar walked to the front of the "Book of Rites" and said: "Being a nobleman, he is not worthy of the title. Punishment!"

The three flames left the three books, rose slowly, faster and faster, passed through the main hall of the ceremony hall, left the holy courtyard, and finally crossed the void and appeared above the Lei family.

"not good!"

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you insult my Lei family!"

All the great scholars and scholars of the Lei family shouted and cursed.

A ball of flame fell from the sky, landed in the center of the Lei family's old house, turned into a light red brilliance, spread for hundreds of miles, and then dissipated.

The Lei family seems to have remained unchanged, but the invisible luck of the Lei family has been cut off by 30%.

The second "Three Rites of Fire" came down, and the Lei family's possessions of Jiaguo's fortune were cut in half.

The third "Fire of Three Ceremonies" came down, and anyone of Lei's bloodline would have their destiny as a human race cut off by 10%.

A loud voice sounded over the ten countries.

"The Lei family of Jiaguo violates the "Three Rites" and goes against human ethics..."

Fang Yun was chatting with Yang Yuhuan in the courtyard. When he heard the loud voice, he was slightly startled and hurriedly stood with Yang Yuhuan and listened seriously.

Nunu also hurriedly imitated Fang Yun and stood up straight, with a serious look on his face.

When the voice said "violating the "Three Rites"", Fang Yun, like all scholars, heard in his ears the words of the three purple-robed scholars in front of "Zhou Rites", "Rituals" and "Book of Rites".

As a scholar, Fang Yun immediately knew after hearing three sentences that the three crimes came from "Zhou Li*Dazai", "Rituals*Meeting Ceremony of Scholars" and "Book of Rites*Ritual Utensils". The old scholar is very powerful. Other scholars at most only use the holy way of the saints to criticize or refute. They dare not and cannot use the "Three Rites" indiscriminately to avoid causing trouble, but the people in the Rites Hall directly use the "Three Rites" to convict.

In Shengyuan Continent, the three rites conviction is more serious than the legal conviction, because for the nobles, as long as they do not commit major crimes such as treason and treason, the punishment can be reduced in various ways. However, once convicted by the three rites, only a great Confucian or a semi-official can The Holy One has the right to commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds, and the sins of others will be whatever they are supposed to be.

As the voice continued, Fang Yun was stunned. He didn't expect that the Holy Court would be so cruel this time and directly lower the fire of the three rituals. This would definitely hurt the Lei family.

Yang Yuhuan was extremely surprised, his eyes widened and he whispered: "Three rites to convict? How terrible. In the past, three rites to convict someone, but some people were in bad luck."

Fang Yun looked solemn, with a strange look in his eyes, and said: "One courtesy and one sin, at least three bachelors of the Lei family will be deprived of all their talents!"

"Ah..." Yang Yuhuan whispered, never expecting that the punishment would be so severe.

"That is the "Three Rites", one of the foundations of Confucianism. It was originally regarded as the first holy way of Confucianism. Later, with changes, it was ranked second after 'benevolence' and 'righteousness' and before 'law'. There are many factors for this severe punishment, but there is one reason. The element must exist, that is, everyone in the ceremony hall is looking for an opportunity to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys! The power of the Lei family comes from the dragon clan, and they are becoming more and more arrogant. This time they don't even do anything superficial. As for other reasons, I can't tell you. with you."

"You deserve it! Who told them to harm you!" Yang Yuhuan clenched his fists.

"Hey!" Nunu nodded vigorously.

"Today is New Year's Eve, and the next day will be next year. The fire of the three rites is lowered today, which means that the rewards the Lei family will receive from the Holy Court next year will be greatly weakened due to the conviction of the three rites." Fang Yun said.

Fang Yun looked in the direction of the Lei family in Jiaguo, and seemed to see everyone in the Lei family going crazy.

"Gather the clan elders!" Lei Tingyu's voice echoed over the Lei family.

Today is obviously New Year's Eve, and spring is about to begin. The ice and snow have melted, and the land of Jiaguo has become a little green. However, people thousands of miles away from the Lei family feel extremely cold, and all the new vegetation has completely withered.

Not long after, all the elders of the Lei family appeared in the main hall of the Lei family, while a large number of Lei family members stood outside the door.

Many young Lei family members looked at the main entrance of the hall with sad faces.

Three medical hospital beds were placed inside the door. Three gray-haired old men were lying on the beds, covered with thick quilts. Next to each of them stood a medical scholar, and each medical scholar had a thin medical book in front of him. , each emitted a faint white light and fell on the old man.

"What a shame! What a pain! What a shame! What a shame! Their talents were completely deprived by the Holy Academy. These are the three great scholars of my Lei family. In time, they will be three great scholars! How can the Hall of Ceremony be like this! How can Fang Yun be like this!"

"This hatred and hatred are irreconcilable! Head of the family, please allow Lei Jiawen to fight Fang Yun!"

"Yes, Wen Zhan Fang Yun will definitely put him to death!"

"The achievements of our Lei family for many years have been ruined in one day! The Dongsheng Pavilion has sent a letter depriving the Lei family of the Xusheng family of all privileges for five years! Five years, this is the end of a generation of our Lei family!"

"What did I say at the beginning? Don't let you act on impulse, don't let you act on impulse, he is just a gift from the virtual saint, at most he throws it into the sea halfway, it is also a loss of courtesy, not impoliteness. Now it's all right..."

"Don't mention this matter again, whoever brings up the past will mess up my Lei family! The most important thing now is how to reduce the losses and how to make Fang Yun pay the price! The shame of the Lei family must be washed away! The descendants of Lei Zu will never allow anyone to humiliate them!"

"Never!" Hundreds of young Lei family members shouted in unison with red eyes.

The head of the family, Lei Yue, glanced at the elders in the hall, waved his hand, and closed the door.

"Fang Yun has become a virtual saint. If we cooperate, we will both benefit. If we fight, we will both lose. The Three Rites Fire was sent down from the sky. Even though my Lei family has thousands of grievances, we are also at fault. If the elders of the clan cannot give up this face, I, as the head of the family, will walk thousands of miles and apologize for my crime!"

"Ridiculous!"

"Do you want my Lei family to bear a greater shame?"

"The descendants of Lei Zu must not do this!"

"You are not worthy of being the head of the family!"

However, a few Lei family members lowered their heads and remained silent.

"I said it before that day. After ascending the Dragon Platform, if you cannot resolve the grievances with Fang Yun, I will personally go to apologize. But because Lei Jiu died, you regret it, which is excusable. Now that the Three Rites have convicted you, if you still do this, there will be no room for maneuver in this matter. We are the human race!" Lei Yue's tone was extremely stern.

"But, we are the descendants of Thunder Ancestor! We are the descendants of the Dragon Clan's Thunder Master. The glory of the Lei family is no less than that of the Kong family! No one can humiliate us!"

"Xiao Yue, you are the head of the family, but that doesn't mean that we old guys are all dead!"

"The etiquette of the human race cannot be abolished, so are the etiquette of my Lei family just for show?"

"Alas... I am incompetent and have brought shame to my ancestors. I resign from the position of head of the Lei family and voluntarily go to exile in the ancient land and never return to the Lei family!"
