“Knowing the destiny of heaven, following the principles of heaven, and the naturalness of all laws.”
“Today, I wish for a clear night, I have been given a destiny.”
“All things are determined, all things are natural, man has seven emotions, six desires, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, what is natural? Where is nature?”
“There is no such thing as nature, and there is no such thing as everything being fixed.”
“Knowledge and action are united, and things are in the hands of men.”
“Where there is a will, there is a way.”
In the middle of the Great Wei Palace, Xu Qingnian’s voice resonated through the clouds and reached the entire Great Wei Dynasty.
Yes, it reached the entire Great Wei Dynasty, not the Great Wei Kyoto.
Xu Qingnian knew the fate of Heaven.
He had been caught in a strange circle of thought, racking his brains around the three words ‘obeying the Divine Principle’ and neglecting the three words of responding to the original heart.
Because people would always think that the Divine Principle was greater than everything, that heaven and earth were superior to everything, Xu Qingnian thought the same way.
So he had been caught in a misunderstanding.
If one obeyed the Divine Principle, then everything one did did was not in accordance with nature.
Every time it was a dead end, and every time he had won by various means.
In this situation, Xu Qingnian understood his ‘central idea’.
Things are made to happen.
Nothing in this world is absolute, it depends on whether you have bothered to try.
A great Confucian ordered the arrest of someone, and he, an eighth-ranked Confucian student, wanted to save the day, could he do it in the eyes of ordinary people?
It can’t be done, subconsciously it just can’t be done, but he did it, not because he was so good, but because he did it and tried.
Every thing going forward, Xu Qingnian is fighting and also trying to figure out how to solve it.
Instead of giving up on himself or sitting around waiting for death.
So the central idea of one’s own Confucianism is ‘things are in the hands of the people’.
Where is the do’s and don’ts, and how can you possibly know that you can’t succeed if you don’t go and do it?
But this has to be combined with ‘knowledge and action’, to know and then act, to conscience.
The truths contained in this are endlessly beneficial, and today Xu Qingnian has thoroughly thought through many, many things.
His mind had been sublimated and everything, everything, seemed incomparably simpler.
Opening his eyes.
All the visions of the Great Wei Kyoto were stilled.
Xu Qingnian rose, his gaze looking at the Great Wei Palace of Literature, and also gazing at the Eight Jade Sacred Ruler.
Although the visions had stopped, the Eight Jade Sacred Ruler was still gathering energy; it was a holy weapon, an artefact, not a holy thought or holy will.
In other words, once an artifact was activated, it would naturally not distinguish between right and wrong.
“Xu Qingnian, even if you have become a Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, it is still useless, the Saint Artifact has already awakened, and it is difficult for you to escape death today.”
Peng Yuan’s voice rang out, and he let out a cold voice from the middle of the heavenly prison.
At this critical point, Xu Qingnian had really broken through to the realm of Heaven and Earth Great Confucian, this was simply unbelievable.
But it was useless, Peng Yuan was absolutely certain that Xu Qingnian had cultivated a foreign art, and the Sacred Weapon had already been activated, whether Xu Qingnian was a great scholar of heaven and earth or not, the Sacred Weapon would keep attacking.
Xu Qingnian would be judged.
If Xu Qingnian had not practised the supernatural arts, then everything would be fine.
But if Xu Qingnian had practised the supernatural arts, the Sacred Vessel would have been completely revived and exploded with true holy intent.
Yes, the sacred weapon has not completely exploded with the power of a saint, otherwise, all demons and devils within 100,000 miles would have nothing to hide, and all evil spirits would be exterminated.
Peng Yuan’s voice was full of confidence.
But Xu Qingnian’s face did not have any hint of ugliness, instead it was calm and frightening.
He stood quietly in the palace, he had become a great Confucian of heaven and earth, but was now suppressed by the holy weapon, otherwise all sorts of visions would have followed.
The Saint Weapon had attacked four times before, and was still short of the last five.
Looking at the Eight Jade Sacred Ruler, Xu Qingnian quietly watched it all.
Boom.
Finally, as the bell rang through, a fifth matchless light shot through once more.
But when the blazing light rushed to kill Xu Qingnian.
Terrifying public opinion swept in, transforming into an unparalleled solid shield that blocked the holy weapon attack.
The fifth attack was gone.
It was easily defused by Xu Qingnian, simply because Xu Qingnian, now, could directly regulate public opinion; he had become a great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, and the entire Great Wei Kingdom had heard the voice.
Naturally, Great Wei public opinion gathered.
“I give you one chance.”
“A chance to repent.”
“As long as you leave Great Wei Kyoto now, do your own thing in peace and don’t meddle in this matter.”
“Today, there is no fault on your part, and I can leave everything that has pa*sed unchallenged.”
At this moment, Xu Qingnian’s voice suddenly rang out.
He did not care about the attack of the Eight Jade Sacred Ruler, but looked at the millions of scholars in Great Wei’s Kyoto and said so.
At this moment, Xu Qingnian appeared to be high and mighty as he stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm and aloof, transcendent, and even more so, high and mighty.
Such a tone of voice and such a tone of voice caused the faces of millions of readers to change, and all of them frowned.
They were incomparably disgusted, extremely disgusted with Xu Qingnian for being so, so high and mighty.
Even if Xu Qingnian had now become a great scholar of heaven and earth, so what? The more different Xu Qingnian was, the more disgusted they were.
“Gentlemen, Xu Qingnian is still afraid.”
“The Holy Weapon revived and gathered the power of the saints to judge him, Xu Qingnian, have you noticed that Xu Qingnian he is still on the defensive, he simply does not dare to accept the Holy Weapon’s judgment because he is afraid, he is already afraid.”
“Yes, Xu Qingnian is afraid, what can he do if he becomes a great Confucian of Heaven and Earth? It won’t change the fact that he cultivates the supernatural arts.”
“If he did not practise the supernatural arts, how could a person be so heartless as to kill and slaughter a city, is this something that Confucianism can do? Is this something that my generation of scholars would dare to do?”
“Hahahahahahaha, Xu Qingnian, in the end you are still afraid, you are truly afraid.”
A single voice rang out.
Not only were these scholars not afraid of Xu Qingnian becoming the Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, but instead, they watched Xu Qingnian constantly defending himself, thinking that Xu Qingnian still had a weak heart and was a thief.
This kind of thinking was already extreme.
Xu Qingnian did not feel any annoyance, because he knew what these people would choose.
And to say all this was to dig a hole.
Leveraging the momentum, right?
The moral high ground, right?
Xu Qingnian would let them know what it meant to truly borrow momentum, what it meant to truly stand on the moral high ground and do things.
Boom!
The sixth sacred weapon’s power came to slay, still blocked by the Shield of Public Opinion.
If this continues, the holy weapon will fall into silence, for the power of a million readers can only go so far.
Many great scholars frowned, as they had gone to such great lengths in the hope of killing Xu Qingnian in one breath.
What they had not expected was that Xu Qingnian had been promoted to the rank of Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth. Not only that, Xu Qingnian had even used the shield of public opinion to block the Holy Weapon, something they had not expected.
Boom.
The seventh one fell down.
Once again, it was blocked by the Shield of Public Opinion.
This was Xu Qingnian’s greatest strength.
The people standing behind himself were the people of Great Wei, and he had no fear of these clay chickens and dogs.
It was just that Xu Qingnian didn’t say anything nonsense, he stood quietly because he knew that someone would be unable to hold back.
Boom.
The eighth holy weapon’s aura killed and was once again blocked by the Shield of Public Opinion.
This almost innately undefeated aura silenced everyone, Xu Qingnian was too invincible.
No matter how strong Confucianism was, it could not be stronger than the world’s public opinion.
If things went the way they were, Xu Qingnian was bound to escape this calamity today.
It would be another wasted effort for them, and not just a wasted effort.
Peng Ru had conceived this scheme, killed a great scholar, and offended the Empress of Wei.
If there was no outcome, they, the Great Wei Palace of Literature, would indeed be in trouble.
Finally.
Just at this moment, Peng Yuan’s voice rang out.
“Xu Qingnian.”
“Hiding behind public opinion, what kind of skill is that?”
Peng Ru spoke out, his tone indifferent.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t sulk, but today’s matter had to come to an end, and he wanted to use the method of provocation to get Xu Qingnian to fall for the trap.
He wanted to use the method of provocation to get Xu Qingnian to fall for the trap. The method of provocation seemed very old-fashioned, but it often worked best, and Peng Yuan was confident that he could get Xu Qingnian to fall for the trap.
Because Xu Qingnian also wanted a result.
Wouldn’t he want a result?
After such a stunt by the Great Wei Palace, it would be a hell of a thing if Xu Qingnian could endure it.
This was the point where he had no fear.
The method of provocation was low-end, but as long as it worked, why care so much?
“None of your business?”
With a single word, the scene inexplicably quieted down.
One would have thought that Xu Qingnian, having become a Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, should by rights observe a little etiquette between Confucianism and Daoism, right?
Peng Yuan was at least a great Confucian of Heaven and Earth.
Xu Qingnian, you are at least a great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, right?
How can you speak so vulgarly?
Can you have a little ……. The actual fact is that you can’t be a great scholar of heaven and earth.
But when you think about it, there is nothing wrong with what Xu Qingnian said. You invited a holy weapon to attack me, and I used public opinion to block it.
And for Xu Qingnian, wouldn’t he know that Peng Yuan was using agitation to try to force himself to fall for it?
Xu Qingnian knew that, but he was also digging a hole for Peng Yuan.
He wanted Peng Yuan to completely suffer a big loss this time.
“Xu Qingnian, if you really feel that you have been wronged, do you dare to accept the Sacred Weapon Trial?”
“If you are judged by the Sacred Vessel and it is indeed found out that you did not cultivate foreign arts, I am willing to abolish my Confucian position.”
Peng Yuan spoke out, confidently, because he was certain that Xu Qingnian had cultivated the supernatural arts.
So he bet again, betting that Xu Qingnian could not stand the excitement, betting that Xu Qingnian was arrogant and arrogant, looking down on the Sacred Weapon, thinking that because he was a great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, he could ignore the Sacred Weapon.
However, Xu Qingnian did not rush into the trap, but said in a cold voice.
“Back then, this Confucian had already testified to himself at the Great Wei Palace of Literature, and even the Sage’s Will did not find out that this Confucian cultivated a foreign art.”
“Now you are still holding on to this matter?”
“This is ridiculous, you want this Confucian to be judged, so this Confucian has to accept it?”
Xu Qingnian laughed coldly.
But this sneer, in the eyes of these scholars, was heartfelt, extremely heartfelt.
“You don’t dare to accept it, it is only because you are afraid, because you have cultivated the supernatural arts, once the power of the sacred weapon enters your body, your supernatural magic nature, will be exposed, right?”
Peng Yuan spoke coldly.
And Xu Qingnian’s cold voice also immediately rang out.
“Peng Ru is worthy of Peng Ru, even the dead can be said to be alive, Wen Gong testifies himself, you do not admit it, now you invite the holy weapon to judge this Confucian, then this Confucian also say a word.”
“Now I suspect that you are not a man, can you testify to yourself for the world to see? If you can testify yourself, then I will apologize for my clumsiness, but if you cannot testify yourself, you are a eunuch and a yin-yang man, okay?”
Xu Qingnian sneered.
When this was said, the state princes could not help but laugh out loud, and many of the people also laughed.
The only ones who had a hard time were the eunuchs in the palace, who had been spoken to for no reason, but they didn’t dare to be offended, being servants themselves and having few human rights.
“Xu Qingnian, how dare you.”
“Xu Qingnian, how dare you humiliate Pengru like that?”
“Good for you Xu Qingnian, you really have no respect.”
“You are so eloquent, is that all you can do?”
“Compared to Pengru, you are worse than a pig or a dog. I really don’t understand how someone like you can become a great scholar of heaven and earth? Is God blind?”
The voices rang out, reprimanding Xu Qingnian for being full of vulgarity, as they believed that Xu Qingnian had insulted Peng Ru.
In contrast, Peng Ru was righteous and elegant in his speech, while Xu Qingnian was? He was full of foul language and had no posture of a great scholar of heaven and earth.
It was really a disgrace to the family and against Confucianism.
“How dare you.”
In an instant, Xu Qingnian’s voice was loud and clear, and with a single word, he shocked millions of scholars.
This was the power of the Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth.
“I am a great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, and what I do is not for trash like you to tell me what to do.”
“Insulting me for having no respect? I am a great scholar of heaven and earth, recognized by heaven and earth, so what are you?”
“Dogs like you.”
“Someone, slap the person who spoke out a hundred times.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth with a domineering aura as he took a step forward, and the terrifying aura of the Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth instantly overpowered him.
The Holy Weapon above the Heavenly Vault had been brewing, and someone from the Palace of Literature had been manipulating it, which was why it had delayed falling on the Ninth Manifestation of Judgement, and because of this, it had freed up time for Xu Qingnian to clean up this group of scholars.
“You!”
“Xu Qingnian.”
“How dare you.”
There were still people who subconsciously spoke up, bursting with anger.
In fact, it wasn’t that these people were really wrong in the head and didn’t respect the Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, but that Xu Qingnian was too young, only twenty years old, and normal people wouldn’t subconsciously have any respect for a twenty year old.
Besides, they were now vocally denouncing Xu Qingnian, so how could they possibly develop any respect?
“And you dare to shout.”
“Good, then today, I, Xu, will also ask for the verdict of the Sacred Weapon.”
Xu Qingnian shouted, and the Hao Rang Qi in his body turned into rainbow light and entered the Palace of Literature, but Xu Qingnian did not do so with the help of the Eight Jade Sacred Ruler, but with the help of the Hao Rang Literature Bell in the Great Wei Palace of Literature.
Dang.
A dull bell sounded, and this artefact gave Xu Qingnian an answer.
As the bell rang out, hundreds of scholars let out miserable screams on the spot, holding their heads and screaming, their souls shattered, as the bell was directed at them.
Three to four hundred readers screamed in agony as they rolled on the ground, their noses and eyes instantly coming out in pain, and the Hao Rang Qi in their bodies collapsing.
They were directly annulled of their Confucian qualities.
This end caused these millions of scholars to fall silent, and some wanted to speak up and rebuke Xu Qingnian.
But the problem was that before they could say anything, they immediately shut up subconsciously.
Xu Qingnian was right, he was a great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, while he was only a small Confucian student.
He could not be justified.
The battle between Confucian students actually revolves around a ‘reason’, and even in dynastic battles, most of them are about whoever has the reason and who can overpower the others.
There is a rule for all of them.
It’s not like they are immortal cultivators, to them, reason is of little use, fists are king.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
After the Eight Gates’ Jing soldiers got orders from Xu Qingnian again, they directly grabbed thousands of readers, purposely carried them out and slapped them one by one towards their mouths.
They were already angry and had fire in their hearts, and now they seized the opportunity to beat them to death.
“I didn’t say it, I didn’t say it, what are you grabbing me for?”
“It’s none of my business, I obviously didn’t say anything just now.”
“I didn’t say anything just now either.”
For a moment, many of the readers began to cheat, they spoke with their eyes open and when there was no truth to it, they began to stir up nonsense, refusing to admit what they had just said.
Unfortunately, what do the Eight Gates’ Jing soldiers care about you so much? If they caught you, they would smack you to death.
The sound of slaps to the face rang out, and all sorts of miserable screams rang out.
Each slap, in the eyes of the crowd, was extremely harsh and embarra*sing.
When the people saw this scene, they shouted in approval, not feeling pity for them at all, and even hating to come over and do it themselves.
The civil and military officials also cried out in delight, especially the Duke of An, who could not help but sneer.
“This sound sounds much better than the barking dogs just now, but unfortunately it’s not loud enough, so all give me some strength and don’t be lazy here.”
An Guoguo opened his mouth and greeted the eight gates of capital soldiers to increase their strength.
“Lord An, what do you mean by that? What is the meaning of a dog barking?”
A great scholar couldn’t help himself, and with an iron face, he looked at Duke An and asked this.
“What does what mean? That is what I mean? If you can understand human words, listen, if you can’t understand human words, shut up.”
“What’s the matter? Do you also invite the Holy Will to execute me?”
“I’m standing here waiting for you to move, it’s Shouren’s business to have a good temper, I’m not one of you Confucians, don’t you dare look at me with that look again.”
“Do you believe in me smacking you?”
Duke An had a fiery temper, he was the head of the state princes, his old age and the disputes in the court had made him less sharp, but it didn’t mean he didn’t have a temper.
On the contrary, he had an even greater temper, and once these words were said, the latter’s face became even more ugly.
But he did not dare to continue to shout, because he could feel that the Duke of An would dare to slap him.
The sounds of slapping were incessant.
There were also cries of pain and anguish.
After a quarter of an hour, thousands of scholars were finally knocked unconscious.
What’s more, a hundred slaps on the mouth? It was a good thing that they didn’t die.
“Back to the Marquis, it has finished slapping a hundred, do you still want to fight?”
Among the eight gates of the capital soldiers, someone gave an answer, informing Xu Qingnian that the beating was over, and even asked if he wanted to continue.
When this was said, the crowd of readers became somewhat irritated, but irritated as they were, they still did not dare to speak angrily.
“No need.”
Xu Qingnian shook his head, this was just a bit of interest.
“Does anyone else want to say something else?”
The next moment, Xu Qingnian looked at the millions of readers and asked calmly.
The streets were extremely quiet, and everyone didn’t dare to say anything else.
Who dared to say anything? If they did, they would be slapped a hundred times, who would be able to bear it?
However, while ordinary Confucian students did not dare to say anything, some great Confucian scholars could not help but speak out.
“Xu Ru, I hope you will respond positively to what Peng Ru said. If Xu Ru really has a clear conscience, why don’t he be examined again?”
“If you are still innocent after being examined again, then the matter will end here.”
The other party spoke, but they had learned their lesson, not daring to call Xu Qingnian by his name, but calling him Xu Ru.
“Hmph.”
“After this time to prove yourself innocent, what about the next time?”
“Hasn’t this Ru ever testified to himself?”
Xu Qingnian said indifferently.
“Xu Ru, before it was the Wen Palace Sacred Will Test, this time it is the Sacred Weapon Test, there is a difference between the two.”
“I hope Xu Ru can prove his innocence again, if he is really innocent, we can guarantee that there will not be another time.”
“If Xu Ru does not prove his innocence, then he will not be able to stop the world from talking about him.
“I ask Xu Ru to understand the bitterness of his conscience and the bitterness of our hearts.”
The other party continued to speak, asking Xu Qingnian to testify himself, and said something so grand that it was clear that he wanted to kill himself, but in his mouth, it turned out to be for his own good?
If you really don’t cultivate the supernatural arts, who would feel comfortable if you were to take this matter to trouble yourself every now and then?
You want to prove yourself once, not twice?
In an instant, Xu Qingnian spoke up.
“Good for you, you mother F**ker.”
“Are you motherless?”
Xu Qingnian couldn’t help but curse.
This time he was really P*ssed off.
He knew that this group of readers were disgusting, and he also knew that the Zhu Sheng lineage had gone crazy and had the mentality of trying to kill themselves.
But at least act like a human being, okay?
Wouldn’t it be better to come looking for trouble in a dignified manner? The first thing you can do is to say that you are here to find yourself in trouble, and that you want to prove yourself, and if you prove yourself how and what the result is, I will be how and what, and Xu Qingnian is comfortable listening to it.
We are all enemies, it’s normal for you to do this, but the F**k actually said this kind of words?
Xu Qingnian really couldn’t understand how such words could come out of such a person’s mouth?
Who was this guy? Is he still a human being? It was really disgusting.
The moment Xu Qingnian said this, the faces of all the people changed, and so did the civil and military officials, although vulgar, but there is an indescribable pleasure ah.
Although the words are not refined, and even extremely vulgar, but against this kind of people, there is really no problem at all.
But the latter was a bit annoyed, he spoke properly, Xu Qingnian cursed even if he did, and the curses were so hard to hear.
“Xu Ru!”
“I respect you as a great scholar of heaven and earth, but even if you insult me, you are still so unpleasant to listen to, you! You! You!”
The latter was so angry that his fingers trembled, his beard stiffened, and his eyes were huge and wide as he looked at Xu Qingnian, filled with anger.
“Respect your mother.”
“People like you should die now, you’re in your eighties and you’re still not dead? Disgusting people here?”
“Inviting a holy weapon and judging Ben Ru, and in your mouth it has become for my good?”
“Then I will now thoroughly investigate your entire family, this Confucian suspect you of collaborating with the enemy, someone, raid his family, three generations and all immediate family members into the prison.”
“Whenever you find out that there is something wrong with him, when you release him, if you really can’t find out, then release the whole family from prison.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth, like to play dirty tricks, right? Then I’ll play along with you.
You don’t want to play by the rules, you have to jump out of the rules? Then I will arrest your whole family, arrest them all, check their identity information thoroughly, but if any irregularities are found, they will be directly dragged out and beheaded.
“Xu Ru, no!”
“Xu Ru, he is a great scholar after all, why do you have to do this?”
“Xu Ru, Shen Ru has lost his tongue, I hope that Xu Ru will not take offence.”
At this moment, many great Confucian scholars stepped forward, they knew that Xu Qingnian was no longer something they could fight against, they could only let Peng Ru come, they would be looking for death if they stepped forward.
They couldn’t help it, their status was no match for Xu Qingnian.
The fact is that Xu Qingnian is not a normal person.
But what about Xu Qingnian? He said he was a relative, who could stand it? After all, Xu Qingnian has become a great scholar of heaven and earth.
How could he become a great scholar of heaven and earth?
“Shut up.”
“It’s not your turn to speak here.”
“Someone, arrest and cite the family.”
Xu Qingnian simply ignored these great scholars, even if they didn’t find themselves in trouble, so what?
When he was abused by millions of scholars, did they ever stand up for themselves?
Now they are helping their own people?
Dream on.
As Xu Qingnian gave the order, the Eight Sects’ Jing soldiers arrested the latter, not giving any chance to resist.
Just at that moment, Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.
“Arrest him in the Heavenly Prison and imprison him with Peng Yuan, the old immortal.”
“Prepare a few more white damask, lest he hang himself without something.”
“Also, prepare some more wine for Peng Yuan, persuading Zhang Ning to die wastes a lot of words, persuading another person to die will only dry up Peng Yuan’s mouth, prepare more wine.”
Xu Qingnian’s words were not really sinister, he could not wait for Shen Ru to hang himself as well.
It was best for the great Confucian scholars of the Zhu Sheng lineage, but all those who looked at them with displeasure, all hanged themselves and went on with their grievances, very well.
“Xu Qingnian, you are really unworthy of the position of Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth.”
“God, you are blind.”
Shen Ru roared in anger as he was dragged directly to the Heaven and Earth prison by the Eight Gates Jing soldiers, and the crowd of scholars really didn’t know what to say when they saw this scene.
Xu Qingnian was too domineering, and too decisive, as long as he was reasonable, it was a thunderous strike.
In contrast, their previous clamouring for so long had in essence not caused Xu Qingnian any trouble, instead, Xu Qingnian had casually caught a few minor problems and taught the crowd a hard lesson.
Three to four hundred scholars had been stripped of their Confucian status and their souls were scared, not to say that they had become demented, but at least their brains would not work too well.
Thousands of scholars were slapped and beaten in public, screaming and screaming without dignity.
Even Xu Qingnian did not have any scruples, and even had white silk prepared, so that Shen Ru could hang himself.
This is the strength of the great scholars of heaven and earth?
This is the bottom line of the Marquis of Peace and Chaos?
The fact that they are both civil and military, not to mention holding great power, and are also great scholars of heaven and earth, really crushes them ah.
The fuss is over.
Finally, Peng Yuan’s voice rang out.
“Xu Ru.”
“It has come to this.”
“Why don’t you dare to prove your innocence?”
“You say it’s not fear? Then I would like to ask you, what exactly is it that you are afraid to testify against yourself for?”
Peng Yuan spoke out, he let Xu Qingnian vent and understood that if he didn’t let Xu Qingnian vent a little, he simply wouldn’t be able to calm down.
Now that the catharsis had been vented, and the person who should be scolded had been scolded, Xu Qingnian could answer the question positively, right?
“Humph.”
“Still, on what basis can this Confucian prove himself again?”
“If after this self-evidence, will there be another one?”
“You and the others, are you bullying people too much?”
Xu Qingnian spoke out.
At this point, it was time to wrap things up.
“The world’s scholars are all suspicious of Xu Ru. Xu Ru killed and ma*sacred the city, whether for the sake of the war or for the sake of the people of Wei, but a ma*sacre is a ma*sacre, and the death of innocent people.
“If Xu Ru were not a Confucian and a general of Wei, I would not have said a word, but you were a great Confucian.”
“A great Confucian who kills and slaughters a city is not right-minded. If he had not practised a different art, how could he have done something so contrary to Confucianism?”
“If you testify to yourself today, if you are really innocent, I have said that I will abolish my position as a Confucian, is that not possible?”
“I am a great Confucian of heaven and earth, with the Confucian status of a great Confucian of heaven and earth, is that not enough?”
Peng Yuan’s voice said calmly.
“Not enough.”
“Half of your body has gone into the yellow earth, it’s simply not enough.”
Xu Qingnian spoke out indifferently.
However, in the eyes of the readers, Xu Qingnian was afraid. The crowd could see that Xu Qingnian seemed to be running away from something, as if he did not dare to testify himself at all.
The crowd could see that Xu Qingnian seemed to be running away from something, as if he did not dare to testify himself. In this way, they hated Xu Qingnian even more and expected him to accept the self-evidence.
“Then how can Xu Ru testify himself?”
“If Xu Ru does not agree to testify himself, today it is only a million scholars, tomorrow, with Lao Fu’s prestige, all the scholars of the entire Great Wei will come to Kyoto.”
“At that time, I would like to see if Lord Xu’s public opinion can stand up to the will of the Great Wei’s scholars.”
“If it doesn’t work again, with my life, I will completely revive the sacred weapon, and when that time comes, don’t blame me for harming you, Xu Ru.”
Peng Yuan said in a threatening tone.
At this moment.
Xu Qingnian was silent.
He did not continue to speak anymore, but fell into silence.
He was deliberately silent, digging another hole, digging a big hole.
Indeed, with Xu Qingnian’s silence, the crowd of readers became even more certain that Xu Qingnian had practised the foreign arts, because he was afraid, he was silent, he was frightened by Peng Yuan’s words.
This time Xu Qingnian could not wash clean, some readers wanted to speak up, but thought of what happened to the group of readers before, so they shut their mouths and did not dare to say more, only the joy in their eyes, could not hide ah.
“Xu Ru!”
“Self-evidence, is it really that hard?”
Peng Yuan continued to speak, as loud as a baton.
Inside the imperial palace.
Xu Qingnian did not speak, he stalled for a full quarter of an hour before speaking.
“This Confucian can testify to himself.”
“But there is one condition.”
“If you prove yourself innocent, all those involved in this matter today will be punished.”
Xu Qingnian spoke.
He made a demand.
He wanted all the millions of scholars to be punished, as long as he succeeded in proving his innocence.
Once this was said, Peng Yuan agreed directly without any nonsense.
“Good.”
He did not hesitate, very decisive and confident.
Only Xu Qingnian shook his head as he looked at the million readers and said.
“You don’t count if you say so, they have to agree.”
“Don’t let it come to pa*s that after this Confucian has proven himself innocent, you will deny it, and you will have no credibility in my eyes.”
Xu Qingnian sneered.
At these words, the millions of readers became irritated, but instead of insulting Xu Qingnian, they spoke up one after another.
“We promise that we are willing to be punished as long as Xu Ru succeeds in proving himself innocent.”
“Yes, we are willing to be punished.”
“We are willing to be punished as long as we succeed in proving our innocence.”
The crowd of readers spoke up one after another, they felt that Xu Qingnian was deliberately stalling for time, deliberately setting up a request that no one would agree to and using it to escape.
But the problem was that they had all come here today with the intention of dying, so how could they not agree to it?
Indeed.
As the crowd of scholars opened their mouths like this.
Xu Qingnian’s face changed, and this change made many people fearful.
“I am not joking.”
“If this Confucian succeeds in proving his innocence, then this Confucian will definitely punish him severely, are you really willing to do so?”
Xu Qingnian continued to ask.
“We are willing.”
“Xu Ru, there is no need for such nonsense, prove your innocence, we are absolutely willing.”
“If we have falsely accused Xu Ru, it would be reasonable for us to be punished.”
The more Xu Qingnian acted like this, the more they felt that there was something wrong with Xu Qingnian, otherwise, what was the point of being so long-winded?
“Do you really have no complaints or regrets?”
“I am not joking, if I succeed in proving my innocence, even if I don’t kill you, I won’t let you have a good time.”
“Are you really not afraid?”
“This Confucian can give you a chance to confess your mistake and tell us who ordered you to do it, and this Confucian can let you go.”
Xu Qingnian spoke once more.
But when he said this, he made the crowd really feel nagging and annoyed.
“Xu Ru.”
“Why do you have to be so nosy?”
“You can just prove your innocence, we have said three times to bear the consequences? The civil and military officials of the Great Wei and His Majesty are all here, they testify, do you not believe them?”
There was really someone who couldn’t stand it and stood out, saying loudly that he thought Xu Qingnian was too nagging.
But nagging was a good thing, the more nagging it was, the more it meant that Xu Qingnian was afraid.
“Good, then please ask Peng Ru to strike.”
“This Confucian, I have already given you a chance today.”
The pit had already been dug, and Xu Qingnian was no longer nagging.
Let them be arrogant and C*cky now, and when they cry later, don’t cry themselves unconscious.
At this moment, the Empress’ gaze fell on Xu Qingnian, and a trace of worry pa*sed through her beautiful eyes, but Xu Qingnian’s gaze was very calm and collected when she felt the Empress’ gaze.
At this moment, the empress understood that Xu Qingnian had the strength.
“Please judge the holy weapon.”
This moment.
Peng Yuan could not wait any longer, and he shouted out loudly.
In an instant, the Eight Jade Sacred Ruler finally erupted with a piquant and terrifying holy aura rushing in.
This holy aura had been brewing for far too long, and it was definitely not an ordinary holy aura, at least ten times stronger than before.
The dome of the sky was illuminated as if it was daylight.
As the holy aura rushed towards Xu Qingnian, everyone’s eyes widened as they watched, afraid to miss a single bit.
They were afraid of missing the appearance of the demonic nature within Xu Qingnian.
And at this moment, Xu Qingnian had indeed not used the Shield of Public Opinion.
This was because, within him was the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature.
It was enough to block this holy aura.
Finally, the holy aura did not enter his body, and at this moment, Peng Yuan’s voice rang out.
“Xu Qingnian, you’ve underestimated the Saint Weapon too much.”
“You’re dead.”
“All of you, open your eyes wide and watch, Xu Qingnian’s demonic nature.”
“The Saint Weapon will force out the demonic nature in an instant, be careful, don’t let Xu Qingnian hurt you, he is about to enter the demon and needs to be suppressed.”
Peng Yuan’s voice rang out impatiently.
His heart was filled with contempt for Xu Qingnian, who had still fallen for the trap.
There was nothing unexpected about it.
Of course, he also understood why Xu Qingnian had fallen for it, because Xu Qingnian simply did not know how terrifying the holy weapon was.
As long as the holy mane enters the body, unless Xu Qingnian really does not cultivate the foreign arts, then …… The reason for this is that it is not possible to get a good idea of what to expect.
The holy weapon, the significance is too great.
Xu Qingnian thought he could resist the holy weapon just because he had become a Heaven and Earth Great Confucian, this was the consequence of ignorance.
No matter how strong the Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth was, the difference between him and a saint was still a hundred thousand and eighty thousand ah.
It was even a difference of clouds and mud.
This was why Peng Yuan dared to speak out in advance.
A fiery white aura drowned everything.
Inside the imperial palace, the light turned into an ocean.
Everything could not be seen anymore.
Everyone tensed up.
The six ministers clenched their fists nervously, and the nine state princes trembled a little nervously.
Peng Ru dared to do this, he must have the courage.
Xu Qingnian dared to accept it, and they really didn’t know if Xu Qingnian had fallen for it, or if Xu Qingnian was confident.
No matter what, the result was about to come out.
But, in the very next moment.
All the rays of light, all of them, surged into Xu Qingnian’s body.
The Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature swallowed all of these holy mantles, and then the Palace of Literature trembled and viciously suppressed the Devil Seed within his body.
Not only did it not induce the devil seed, but it helped Xu Qingnian suppress the devil seed of the supernatural arts once more.
This was really a blessing in disguise.
The light dissipated.
In the middle of the palace.
Xu Qingnian stood quietly.
His gaze was very calm, without any signs, and there was no demonic or non-demonic situation.
If I had to say it, it was instead even more filled with a mysterious meaning than before.
This!
This!
This!
“This can’t be.”
A great Confucian looked at Xu Qingnian incredulously.
“Wait a little longer, he should be the one suppressing it, within a quarter of an hour, Xu Qingnian is bound to enter the demon.”
In the middle of the heavenly prison, Peng Yuan also froze, but he quickly came back to his senses and roared loudly.
It was deemed necessary to wait a moment.
Xu Qingnian was cooperative and waited quietly for a quarter of an hour.
It was a quarter of an hour.
No one spoke, and all of them were incomparably quiet with each other.
But a quarter of an hour later.
Xu Qingnian was still standing there quietly, not moving a muscle.
“No.”
“This can’t be, why? The Fey Magic Demon Seed inside you didn’t explode out?”
“There’s not enough time, not enough time, you’ve just become a Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, you can suppress the power of the Sacred Weapon.”
“One hour, wait another hour, you can suppress it for a quarter of an hour, but you can’t suppress it for an hour.”
Peng Yuan spoke again.
It had gone from a quarter of an hour to an hour again.
Xu Qingnian still did not speak.
He continued to wait for an hour.
But this was the last wait.
Little by little, time pa*sed.
Countless pairs of eyes fell on Xu Qingnian.
Some people did not want anything to happen to Xu Qingnian, but the millions of readers in the Zhu Sheng lineage were incredibly eager for Xu Qingnian to become a demon, to become a demon now, in which case they would have won.
But.
A quarter of an hour.
Two quarters of an hour.
Three quarters of an hour.
Five quarters of an hour.
An hour.
Finally.
When an hour had pa*sed.
The people cheered with excitement, the six ministers, the civil and military officials also breathed a sigh of relief, they were a little dizzy, their hearts were beating wildly, they couldn’t laugh because it was too tense and exciting.
Some of them even collapsed to the ground as if their strength had been drained.
They knew that Xu Qingnian had succeeded in clearing himself this time.
And they were about to receive Xu Qingnian’s most terrifying blow.
This time they were finished.
This time they were dead.
Completely dead.
They had offended a great scholar of heaven and earth, a marquis of Wei, and they had even caused trouble at his enthronement ceremony.
This was a death wish.
Even if Xu Qingnian didn’t kill them, they felt that they couldn’t even justify it.
This time, they were really finished, completely finished.
But at that moment, Peng Yuan’s voice rang out again.
“This is absolutely impossible.”
“Xu Qingnian, do you dare to say that you didn’t cultivate a foreign art?”
“Why can’t the holy weapon judge you?”
“You did the trick, you did the trick again.”
“Xu Qingnian, what tampering have you done again?”
At this moment, Peng Yuan, who had always been calm, was a little hysterical at this moment.
He couldn’t believe it, he just couldn’t believe it.
He was extremely confident before.
He thought that Xu Qingnian must have cultivated a foreign art.
But the reality was completely different from how he imagined the process to be, the aura of the sacred weapon, actually did not judge Xu Qingnian.
This meant that Xu Qingnian had not cultivated the supernatural arts.
But this was impossible.
Xu Qingnian must have cultivated the supernatural arts, it was a certainty.
He had no proof, but he had a cut-and-dried source.
Only, why? Why had Xu Qingnian not been ruled by the Holy Weapon?
It was impossible.
And yet.
Peng Yuan’s voice could not have been more hysterical.
Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.
“Peng Dog.”
“What more nonsense do you have?”
“Give this Ru death.”
This voice was filled with anger and killing intent.
Finished cursing, are you?
Are you done disliking me?
Is this the end of self-evidence?
Is there nothing more to say now?
It was his turn to strike, right?
At this moment, Xu Qingnian’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
Even if Peng Ru did not die, he would be ruined.
Even the millions of scholars would not have an easy time.
Today, he, Xu Qingnian, will do something that will shock the world.
