Chapter 116 The Analects
Linjiang Village.
Lin Qingzhi's home.
There are many carved statues or other objects in the storage room.
On the innermost shelf, there is a brown statue, which is a statue of an old man, and this old man is Confucius.
At this moment.
The statue of Confucius began to vibrate violently.
As the statue vibrated, a figure appeared in the storage room.
Lin Qingzhi appeared in the storage room with a fishing rod in his hand. He looked at the vibrating statue of Confucius, and then turned his head to look southwest, where Lin Tian and others were.
With a slight smile, a purple cloud appeared in Lin Qingzhi's hand, and then he waved his hand and sent the purple cloud into the statue of Confucius. After the purple cloud entered the body, Confucius seemed to come alive, with a flash of golden light, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more gentle.
The next moment, the vibrating statue of Confucius quieted down.
A ball of golden light slowly emerged from the statue of Confucius.
"Swoosh..."
The ball of golden light rushed out of the room and then headed for the southwest horizon.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As the golden light disappeared, Lin Qingzhi was still standing in the storage room.
Yu County.
As the golden light fell, the gray mist spit out by the Soul Devourers could no longer approach the people of Yu County.
In the surprised eyes of the Soul Devourers, the pale-faced Lin Tian bowed in that direction again.
"Student Lin Tian, I bow to Confucius for the second time. Now that the people of Yu County, the territory of the human race, are being slaughtered by foreign races, they are in danger. I beg Confucius to grant me the power to protect the human race."
Although his voice was light, it was full of unquestionable determination, penetrating the silence around and echoing in everyone's heart.
The air around seemed to freeze, and even the Soul Devourers lowered their heads and looked at Lin Tian who was bowing. At this time, the whole world seemed to be filled with only Lin Tian's firm and clear voice.
As Lin Tian bowed for the second time, before he finished speaking, a tiny crack suddenly appeared in the sky, as if the crack in time and space was touched by Lin Tian's piety.
"Swish..."
A warm and solemn golden power gushed out from the crack, like the first rays of dawn, instantly illuminating the sky above Yu County and dispelling the haze and despair of the past few days.
The golden light slowly condensed and rotated in the air, and finally transformed into a majestic and compassionate golden figure.
This figure, although illusory, was clearly discernible, and his eyebrows revealed extraordinary wisdom and compassion, which was exactly the appearance of Confucius, who had been praised by the human race for thousands of years.
The golden figure slowly opened his eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world. Wherever his eyes reached, even the most ferocious soul-devouring people could not help but feel awe and took a few steps back.
Lin Tian looked up, tears and hope flashing in his eyes.
This was the second time he saw the appearance of Confucius.
The first time he saw it, his teacher took him to the statue to worship and burn incense. At that time, he didn't know who Confucius was, nor did he know what kind of great power he had. He only knew that the "Spring and Autumn Annals" taught by the teacher was compiled by Confucius.
And the "Analects of Confucius", every sentence full of great wisdom came from Confucius.
He just heard from his teacher that the "moral" thought system he taught came from Confucius.
When he was enlightened, he knew his future path, implementing the ideas of benevolence and courtesy, and spreading Confucius' Confucianism throughout the vast continent.
Above the sky.
The golden figure seemed to have sensed Lin Tian's firmness and determination at this moment, and nodded gently. A more majestic golden force surged out of his body, turning into golden light and merging into Lin Tian's body.
"Boom..."
When the golden light surged into his body, Lin Tian only felt a thunder explosion in his mind.
"The benevolent love others, starting from etiquette and conforming to reason."
A voice appeared in his mind, followed by the reading of the entire Analects.
"Confucius said: Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice it from time to time? Is it not a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Is it not a gentleman to not be angry when people do not know you?..." Those voices kept ringing in his mind, not only did they not affect him, but even with the appearance of those readings, his body became stronger and stronger.
In the eyes of others, behind Lin Tian, a series of illusory scenes slowly appeared. They were a school, and the private school kept changing in the picture.
But what did not change were the students holding books and reading aloud.
As those voices appeared, the whole Yu County began to hear the recitation of "The Analects".
Not far away, the old people and children in Yu County turned their bodies around, looked at Lin Tian, and then slowly knelt on the ground, with golden fonts appearing in their eyes.
These articles from different time and space also appeared in their minds.
Then, these old people began to recite slowly.
"The Master said: Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice from time to time? Is it not a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? People do not know you and do not get angry..." The recitation of "The Analects" began to resound throughout Yu County, and then spread to the surrounding areas of Yu County, spreading farther and farther...
As these old people and children read, golden light spots appeared in Wei County, and the gray mist exhaled by the Soul Devouring Clan began to be eroded by the golden light spots, and then dissipated.
"What kind of power is this..."
The leader of the Soul Devouring Clan, who had been blocked by Qingyue, looked at the golden light spot, and fear began to emerge in his heart.
Could it be that after their Soul Devouring Clan had the weakness of Thunder, another force that could restrain them appeared.
As Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes, there seemed to be stars flowing in his eyes, flashing with a deep insight into the world.
He opened his red lips lightly, and his voice was low and magnetic, like the sound of an ancient bell, echoing in every corner: "Confucius said: If a craftsman wants to do his work well, he must first sharpen his tools!"
As his voice fell.
Above his head, a dazzling and mysterious light array appeared out of thin air, radiating light, illuminating the entire Yu County, and also illuminating the depths of everyone's heart.
In the light array, it seemed that there were ancient runes slowly flowing, they intertwined with each other, weaving into a series of mysterious patterns, releasing a heart-pounding power.
Then, a shocking scene happened. One golden sword after another, as if carefully carved by an invisible hand, descended from the light array. Each sword emitted a dazzling light, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the Soul Devouring Clan and others. The sword body was flowing with strands of sword energy, which was extremely sharp, enough to cut off all the falsehoods in the world.
"The Master said: How to repay kindness? Repay grievances with justice, and repay kindness with virtue!"
