Isn’t it said that Confucianism restrains evil spirits and demons the most?
Xu Qingnian knew that the vision of a white rainbow crossing the sun would attract the attention of many people.
Later, looking at Zhao Yuan’s expression and his hesitant speech, she guessed that something was going on.
It was just that Xu Qingnian wasn’t too worried, but now that Zhao Yuan was so serious, it made Xu Qingnian a little nervous.
“Inviting so many people here, in defence of who?”
“Is it hard to believe that these demons dare to step into the South Yufu?”
Xu Qingnian asked.
“It is natural that they would not dare, I have First Grade powerhouses in Great Wei who can cross within ten thousand miles in one step, if they really dare to kill, let them see the power of the First Grade.”
“It’s just that, while they don’t dare to come head-on, they dare to sneak in secretly.”
“Among the demon dao, there is a demon creature called Nightmare, an evil demon creature that can sneak into a person’s dreams.”
“Once they fall asleep, they will enter their dreams and plant demons in their minds, messing with their minds and disturbing their true spirit.
“If nothing else, they will find the nightmare beast and harm you.”
“But Mr. Xu, don’t be overly alarmed, I have burned incense and submitted to the court, the court has sent two great scholars from the capital to come by dragon boat, they will arrive at the South Yufu in two days.”
“And in these two days, the three masters as well as the lord of the prefecture, will invite all kinds of experts to sit here, and there is no harm for the demons to attack, only to suffer Mr Xu, don’t sleep in these two days.”
Zhao Yuan made the danger very clear.
Xu Qingnian understood this time.
It was true that Confucianism inherently restrained evil spirits, but it still had to be graded. A Confucian scholar of the eighth grade would certainly be able to suppress an eighth grade demon casually, and it was not even too much to say that it was easy.
If you face a seventh-ranked one, you have a chance of winning, and the chance of winning is very good.
But what about a sixth-ranked one? There is a degree of innate suppression for one rank and one heaven.
One can only say that when facing a sixth-grade demon, one might still have the means to resist, but it would be much more difficult to win.
As for if people were ruthless and sent a fifth-grade demon, then one could wait to die, lest the struggle become more painful.
“Don’t worry, my lord, I, Xu, will definitely not sleep in these two days.”
Xu Qingnian agreed straight away.
It was natural not to joke when lives were at stake.
“Good, then I’ll be tired of Mr. Xu.”
“Also, if Mr Xu has nothing to do, he can recopy the article and keep a few hands ready.”
“This original scroll is a superb article that can add to the fortunes of the country, and must be placed in the Taihe Palace of Great Wei to add to the fortunes of Great Wei.”
Zhao Yuan said.
Xu Qingnian had written the original scroll, which was recognised by heaven and earth and possessed a trace of national fortune, so putting it into the Great Wei Taihe Palace would enhance the Qi of Great Wei, although the increase would not be much, but even a trace of it, added to Great Wei, would be of great significance.
And the re-transcribed article was for His Majesty and the other great scholars to view.
“Good.”
Xu Qingnian nodded in response.
“I will not disturb Mr. Xu.”
Zhao Yuan got up and left the room.
After seeing Zhao Yuan leave, Xu Qingnian slowly sat down.
Not being able to sleep?
There was one thing to say, it seemed like he hadn’t slept for close to ten days, right?
He had spent seven days in the bookstore reading books, and then spent a night studying how to set a trap for Cheng Lidong, and then spent a night thinking about the An Guo policy.
All the way to the present day, one had indeed not slept a bit.
A martial artist’s physique is good, close to ten days without sleep, but nothing happened at all.
Apart from being a bit sleepy, I really didn’t want to sleep.
Meanwhile.
One thousand seven hundred miles away.
It was late at night.
In the middle of a valley.
Underneath an ancient pond, hidden by an ethereal light, is a cave.
In the cave, five eerie figures floated in the air.
These figures, whose forms were unrecognisable, were like ghosts.
“There is a vision of a white rainbow crossing the sun in the South Yu Palace, someone has written a superb essay, and rumour has it that the person who wrote such an essay is only twenty years old and has only been enrolled for a full month, and has already entered the eighth grade.”
“Such a great talent in Confucianism could become a great enemy of the demon race in the future.”
An eerie voice rang out, full of solemnity.
“Only twenty years old, and only a full month into school? Are you stupid, Xuan Gui, or are we stupid? I believe there are great talents among the human race, but such great talents are simply unheard of, and the human race itself likes to boast about itself.”
“I am only afraid that this is a trap deliberately laid to lure us in.”
Another figure spoke out, believing it to be a trap.
“It doesn’t matter if they are only twenty years old, or if they have been enrolled for a full month, it only matters that the White Rainbow Crossing is real, at least the human race makes superb writings, and those who can write such writings are absolutely extraordinary and can be killed.”
The third voice rang out, he did not care if Xu Qingnian was really twenty years old, nor did he care if Xu Qingnian had only been enrolled in school for a full month.
He should be killed if he produced an extraordinary essay.
“That’s easy to say, there are scholars guarding the South Yu Mansion, and a seventh-ranked martial artist, if we attacked strongly, a first-ranked martial artist of the Great Wei would instantly come in person and behead us like crushing insects, how can we be killed? How can we kill?”
A fourth voice rang out, full of ridicule.
“Foolish, naturally it’s not a strong attack, if we attack the South Yufu by force, it will attract heavenly trouble for my demon clan, the other day the Mad Snake was put to death, don’t I know that?”
“If you want to get rid of the evil, you can only do it wisely, can’t you see that the Nightmare Clan is here too? The plan is simple, let the Nightmare Clan infiltrate his dreams, mess with his mind, destroy his mind, even if he survives, he will be nothing more than a demented madman.”
The voice rang out, telling the plan.
Yet the voice of the Nightmare Demon also rang out.
“It’s not hard to let me infiltrate his dream, the question is how do I get out if I’ve disturbed his mind? If I am allowed to die, I will let him become a great Confucian.”
He spoke out, stating the most crucial question.
It was not impossible to go by himself, but the question came, how to come back?
“Don’t worry, Nightmare Demon, I have made thorough preparations, after you destroy his mind, the four of us will directly rise to the occasion, although we dare not attack the city, it is enough to attract their attention, but with the cunning of this group of human beings, I am afraid they will only notice our use in a flash, you only have ten breaths of time.”
“If we escape, we will be considered to have done a great service and can claim credit from the king; if we do not escape, we will never sell you out and go in together.”
The owner of the first voice replied, his tone categorical.
“Yes, Nightmare Demon, this is a good plan, killing a future great scholar, once you return to the demon race, this is a great credit in heaven, you take the head credit, we will just take some minor credit.”
“Nightmare Demon, if you can’t escape, we’ll just kill in, even if the First Grade comes, I’ll kill some people to pad my back, how about that?”
Several demons incited the Nightmare Demon while the latter’s body twisted and turned, none of them were in their original bodies, but were transformed into ghosts to facilitate their departure at any time.
“Good, you guys don’t lie to me.”
The nightmare demon said in a cold tone.
“Don’t worry about this, we are all fellow demons, how could we be ungrateful.”
“However, these human clans must be on guard, I’m more worried that you won’t be able to sneak into his dream.”
They said in a firm tone, but were soon filled with curiosity.
Worried that the Nightmare Demon would not be able to dive into his dreams.
“You need not worry about this, I, Nightmare Demon, have reached the seventh rank, I can do dreamless diving, if he doesn’t sleep, I will dive into his Yuan Shen, and then he will die even more miserably.”
The Nightmare Demon sounded confident.
“Good, then it will be hard work.”
“Wait for your good news.”
“Go back together and take the credit.”
Several demons’ voices lowered.
“Within an hour.”
The Nightmare Demon left the place, leaving behind a sentence that simply meant that in an hour, he would settle this matter.
Soon, after the Nightmare Demon had left.
The voice rang out again.
“If he fails, do we really want to attack the Southern Yufu?”
Only this voice rang out and was replaced by several cold laughter.
“Attack into the Southern Yufu? Do you think we’re stupid?”
“I don’t want to die, if he fails, we’ll just leave and we’ll have the credit for this splendid work all to ourselves.”
“But won’t that draw the wrath of the Nightmare Clan? After all, they still have status within the demon race.”
“Status? What status? If we do this right, the Nightmare tribe won’t dare to trouble us.
“It’s only a third generation son of the Nightmare Clan, not even the core can cause any big trouble, just wait.”
“Yes, and we demons have no credit to speak of, but if he gets it, we still have to toss it around, it’s just that if he goes on this trip, it will be hard to come back, just leave when you’re done, don’t linger.”
Several demons discussed, demon before and demon after, completely two very different attitudes.
But at that moment.
The nightmare demon rose up in the air, he dived into the night, extremely fast, came to a big mountain a thousand miles away, and began to sit down.
“Working together?”
“I take the credit?”
“Do you think I’m stupid?”
On the mountain, the Nightmare Demon sat in a tree, still not showing his true form, but his words were full of disdain.
The Nightmare Demon did not take the bait, on the contrary, he had been on guard for a long time.
After such an incident at the South Yufu, he knew at first that these demons would come to him, but instead of refusing, he faked his entrance.
The purpose was simple, to let them take the blame.
The previous statement that he could not get out was a lie to fool these four demons, he could have gotten out completely, it would just have led to a chase.
The means to evade the pursuit was simple: he entered the dream of the person who wrote the supreme essay and occupied his mind, thus acting out a play.
First, instead of destroying his mind, he would pretend that he could not defeat him, leaving behind the location of these four demons, and then pretend to run away, but in reality he would dive into the other party’s genesis, deeper than in his dream.
At that time, the other party will definitely inform those Southern Yufu readers.
In this way, these readers will certainly send some of their forces to strangle the demon, while they will then take the opportunity to mess up the other party, take advantage of the fact that there are not many people, and escape directly. Even if someone chases after them, the main force is not coming to trouble them.
He could easily escape back to the demon tribe.
Such a huge credit would really be for oneself alone.
As for those few demons?
You can wait for death.
Thinking of this, the nightmare demon was overjoyed.
This could be said to be a seamless plan.
The only fault was that this man was extremely strong in spirit, a seventh-grade Confucian, otherwise he would not be able to make waves.
But seventh grade?
Twenty years old?
Is that possible?
Impossible.
Of course there is another way, without the seventh grade, is there a holy weapon? Even an embryo would do.
But, is it possible?
Impossible.
Therefore, this man must die.
I am the Nightmare Devil, and I shall be the wisest in the world.
With this in mind, the Nightmare Demon squeezed up his magic seal and cast the Nightmare Ancient Technique.
