Chapter 674: Chapter 554 Sub-Sage Article (Climax seeking monthly ticket)_2

"That’s Marquis of Guanjun! The Marquis of Guanjun of our Jin Dynasty!"

"Marquis of Guanjun? The one who repelled the Mongol invaders at Nankou Pass and saved the entirety of north Zhili?"

"If not him who else? Thankfully he stepped in this time, or my poor daughter may not have lived."

"These evil spirits are impossible to guard against, I was perfectly fine then suddenly became entranced reciting the ’Sad-dharma Pundarika Sutra."

Luo Erhe took a deep breath, adjusting his clothing before sincerely bowing at his own doorstep.

At this moment, he sincerely prayed in his heart. Hoping that the Marquis would slay these demons, and that their peace would be restored.

※※※※

Meanwhile, in the high skies, the Saintess White Lotus found herself in an even grimmer situation.

The second cry of the azure luan resulted in her losing nearly half of her followers in Capital City. Consequently the amount of collective willpower from believers, that she could draw upon was decreasing steadily.

"Damn!"

Thin, bloody streaks began to appear on the face of the Saintess White Lotus. These streaks spread out in all directions, covering her entire body.

—This was a signal that her strength had reached its limit, and it had started to erode her life force.

If it were not for the fact that inside Capital City, a significant amount of power from many Buddhist temples had been withdrawn, the Saintess felt that she would have collapsed, her internal organs crushed by the Hao Qi.

Just as she was about to give up, she saw Li Xuan write something else onto the ’Green Sky Slips’. The azure luan circling above the liuli qi column cried out sharply for the third time.

Moreover, the ’Warning Bell’ in the city rang out for the fifth time with a sound that shook the entire city. Just a moment later, the bell sounded for the sixth time.

"What sinister thing have you written now?" The Saintess White Lotus’ eyes bulged wide, with a fiery hatred in her gaze.

It was because the sound of the third luan cry had awoken a large number of her followers. Within the Capital City, fewer than fifty thousand people were left reciting the White Lotus Sutra.

To make matters worse, for some unknown reason, seventy thousand Confucian scholars in the city were becoming more and more excited. This caused their Hao Qi to surge and grow tremendously. In order to withstand the force and pressure of the Liuli Qi column, The Saintess White Lotus had to burn her life force.

At this moment, within the Guozi Bureau, the Jijiu was murmuring to himself.

"Yao gave it to Shun, Shun to Yu, Yu to Tang, Tang to Wen, Wu and the Duke Zhou, and they to Confucius, and Confucius to Mengke, but with the death of Mengke it was lost. Splendid! Absolutely splendid!"

The Jijiu, with a flush on his face, clapped his hands in approval, "Good! Good! Good! This is the confirmation of the Confucian orthodoxy! The orthodoxy of Confucianism, inherited since the days of the three kings, is what the world should study."

If he were to have come from the same world as Li Xuan, he would use the idiom—The root is true, and the sprout will be red!

The Minister of Rites, Hu Ying, showed a look of delight, "Six bell chimes signal the arrival of Sub-sage. These Green Sky Slips should be preserved in the Wen Temple after this incident. It is the eternal classic of our Confucianism."

He noticed that the many Confucian scholars in the Guozi Bureau were intoxicated at this moment.

In the sky above, Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, ultimately deciding not to include the phrase ’Do not block the path of Buddhism or Taoism, and Confucianism cannot flow; do not stop Buddhism or Taoism and Confucianism cannot be promoted. Monks and Taoist priests must be secularized, and Buddhist and Taoist scriptures will be burned, and Buddhist and Taoist temples be transformed into civilian residences.’

In this world, due to the rampant evil spirits and the manifest of divine skills, even though some former emperors advocated the destruction of Buddhism, they were always hesitant and could not get to the root of it.

Even Emperor Tai of the Jin Dynasty, who had achieved unprecedented power, his crackdown on Buddhism and Taoism was still unmatched in the previous generations.

However, three hundred years later, Buddhism and Taoism have gradually recovered their vitality.

The prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism also directly affected the teachings of Confucianism.

Therefore, this "The Original Tao" is timely. The greatest value of Han Yu’s article is to redefine the orthodox law of Confucianism and exclude the influences of Buddhism and Taoism on Confucian orthodoxy.

However, in the current world, it is unreasonable for the court to force monks and Taoist priests to secularize and burn Buddhist and Taoist scriptures.+

The final line of the article was also adjusted by Li Xuan.

The original text was ’To understand the way of the former kings, this is the way,’ but Li Xuan changed it to ’Promote the way of love and righteousness, so that the widowed, the lonely, the destitute, and the disabled can be nurtured. This is also quite possible.’

Simply because he fundamentally does not agree with the way of the former kings. As time changes, can the principles of the ancients apply to now?

At the very moment he completed the text, the bell in the direction of the Wen Temple rang out in waves once more.

Just as Li Xuan finished writing, the Saintess White Lotus on the opposite side, her body burning in blood flames, looked at him with a cold sneer: "Another bell rang. It was the seventh bell, wasn’t it? Your essay is chasing the level of a Saint. But what about that?

Your cultivation has not yet reached the heavenly level. Can your Liuli Haoqi destroy me in half an hour?"

At this point, she put aside her worries, determined to fight Li Xuan to the end!

She believed that Yu Jie, in front of the man in black with one arm, would definitely not last half an hour!

Yet Li Xuan just chuckled, suddenly raising his hand, taking out the original scroll of "Haoqi Song" from the Liudao Fumo Armor.

As he raised his hand and waved, the scroll flew directly to the depths of the Underground, on top of the Underground city.

The "Haoqi Song" scroll then unfolded, revolving around the divine body of Wen Zhonglie which was wrapped in seven poisons.

At first, Saintess White Lotus felt puzzled, but soon she felt something was wrong and also projected her Divine Sense into the depths of the Underground.

Then she found an incredibly glorious Liuli Haoqi, being applied to Wen Zhonglie’s body.

At this moment, endless poisonous fire was forced out by the powerful Haoqi condensing by seventy thousand people.

The face of the Saintess White Lotus suddenly changed: "Are you removing the seven poisons for Wen Zhonglie?"

"I indeed cannot destroy you within half an hour, nor is it necessary to force it."

As he was saying this, Li Xuan held his waist knife, looking at the opponent with a slightly mocking look: "As long as I can restore Wen Zhonglie’s divine power, either the Demon King’s plan or your Buddhist Kingdom, they will all be illusions and everything will be in vain!"

Saintess White Lotus suddenly trembled in her divine sense, feeling as if her heart had been violently grabbed.

At this time, unknown to Li Xuan in the sky, Mengqingfan, who was also in the Guozi Bureau, felt that the qi in her body was about to act.

She couldn’t help but widen her pupils, showing a look of astonishment.

Mengqingfan was familiar with this feeling, this was the seed of mind of Yang, the mechanism of the heavenly level.

At this moment, as long as she has a thought, she can break through to the heavenly level with this beast body!

However, Mengqingfan then repressed the rising Yuan Qi in her body with a feeling of disillusionment.

She did not want to attract attention now, and even if she broke through to the heavenly level, so what? Li Xuan, Marquis of Guanjun’s mount at the heavenly level?

Just at this moment, Mengqingfan felt something and looked stupefied in the direction of the east.

"Master?"

She saw her master, the "Palace Master" of Tianshi Palace, Gong Nianci, looking coldly towards the high sky, while throwing a golden book towards the direction of Li Xuan.

"Watch out!" Without thinking, Mengqingfan instinctively turned into a stream of time and rushed towards the golden book.

With a thud, Mengqingfan coughed up blood, almost half of her body was annihilated.

Luckily, Ao Shuying also sensed the danger, rushing over almost immediately after her. She punched the golden book, then her entire body retreated a hundred zhang, one arm was blasted into pulp by the golden book.

"Hm?"

Li Xuan couldn’t help but look surprised, glancing towards the direction of Ao Shuying and the Jade Qilin. Then a raging rage showed in his eyes.

"Die!"

With a wave of his hand, there was a stream of liuli-colored Haoqi, directly bombarding the top of the head of the faraway ’Tianshi Palace Master’ Gong Nianci, causing her to let out a violent scream, blood oozing from her seven orifices, her flesh mangled!

At the same time, Li Xuan beckoned from mid-air, calling the "Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron" on Dugu Biluo’s body directly to his front. When the golden book collided with the "Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron", a loud boom resounded immediately.

But the result was that Li Xuan remained unharmed, and the golden book began to spin around Li Xuan.

Meanwhile, the ’Tianshi Palace Master’ Gong Nianci, who was screaming, was full of disbelief, the cauldron Li Xuan had was actually a divine treasure that was ready to be used!

The "Book of Jinque" in her hand was nothing more than a fake divine artifact, but Li Xuan’s cauldron was an undeveloped divine treasure!

What shocked, angered and frightened her even more was that Li Xuan’s glorious Haoqi had severely damaged the essence of her Primordial Spirit at once! This immediately brought her to the brink of death.
