Evil Master and Disciple

Dugu Chan looked at Ye Feng who was holding the Mountain and River Brush and said, "Don't worry, kid. Xiao Li was just joking with you. Since you cracked the Zhenlong chess game and Senior Yan Rijing chose you, then you are the destined one for this item.

Let me see the Mountain and River Brush. I also want to see what is so special about this sacred Confucian artifact."

Ye Feng dared not disobey.

In this cave, he couldn't even kill Sanzhier.

So he took the Mountain and River Pen and handed it respectfully to Dugu Chan.

Dugu Chan took it, looked at it carefully, and then activated it with his true energy.

Although the Mountain and River Pen emits a faint light, it is not intense.

Su Xiaoli came closer and said, "The reason why the Mountain and River Pen is a sacred artifact of Confucianism is because other true essences cannot bring out the power of the Mountain and River Pen. Only the Confucian righteousness can bring out the true power of this pen.

"Old Chan, although you are the best in the world, what you cultivate is the law, the true law of Taoism, and the way of the sword. You do not understand the righteousness of the great and upright, so this brush is just an ordinary brush to you."

Dugu Chan glanced at her and said, "You sound like you can activate this pen."

Su Xiaoli's eyes turned and she said, "Let me try."

Dugu Chan handed her the Mountain and River Pen.

Ye Feng opened his mouth, but no words came out.

With the ancestor present, I don’t think this old fox would dare to claim the mountains and rivers as his own.

Su Xiaoli held the Mountain and River Brush, glanced at Dugu Chan provocatively, and said, "Old Chan, see clearly..."

Suddenly, a soft white light emanated from Su Xiaoli's body. She originally looked like a girl from heaven, but in the blink of an eye she turned into a fairy who came from heaven to earth.

A holy, surging, and upright aura burst out from Su Xiaoli's body.

The alluring charm of the thousand-year-old vixen was instantly wiped out.

Under the light, Ye Fuyou's soul cried out in surprise and drilled directly into Ye Feng's body.

Ye Feng was stunned and asked, "Grandfather, what happened to Master Uncle?"

Dugu Chan said slowly, "The righteous energy of Confucianism is similar to the golden light of Buddhism. It has a strong restraining effect on evil spirits, ghosts, and other evil beings. Fuyou is just a wisp of spirit now. He cannot resist the righteous energy."

Ye Feng suddenly understood and wondered, "How could Senior Xiaoli possess such a strong sense of righteousness?"

Ye Feng couldn't understand this.

I even find it extremely ironic.

A fox demon, actually, has no evil spirit, but is full of righteousness!

Who can I talk to to explain this?

Su Xiaoli chuckled and said, "Because I have slept with more than 100,000 Confucian scholars so far, including some great scholars. What's so strange about me having a righteous spirit?"

Su Xiaoli's words were very charming, but they sounded full of righteousness, giving people a feeling that this is how the world should be.

"One hundred thousand?"

Ye Feng swallowed his saliva immediately.

This number... is astonishing!

You know, these are just scholars!

God knows how many men Su Xiaoli has slept with in the past tens of thousands of years!

Su Xiaoli held the pen in one hand, and the righteous energy gathered in the pen.

I saw her write the word "Ding" in the air.

Every stroke and every painting is condensed in the air, gathered together without dispersing.

The huge word "Ding" was hanging in front of her.

She glanced at Ye Feng, and then a sly smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Of course, with the blessing of her righteous spirit, her playful and evil smile seemed so kind and sincere.

She gently touched the glowing word "Ding" in front of her with the tip of her pen.

Dingzi suddenly flew towards Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was startled and instinctively wanted to dodge, but the word was too fast and too close.

Just as he made a move to escape, the word "ding" hit him.

A strange scene appeared. The word "ding" disappeared, but Ye Feng kept running.

He was actually frozen by that word, as motionless as a stone sculpture.

Seeing this scene, a light flashed in Dugu Chan's turbid eyes.

Sanzhier's eyes also widened instantly.

Su Xiaoli walked up to Ye Feng and gently patted Ye Feng's face with her hand.

He said with a grin: "Boy, aren't you very cool? Move again and show me! Hehe..."

"Ouch..."

After about three seconds, Ye Feng broke free from the restraints.

He stepped back repeatedly, his eyes filled with fear.

Shouted: "What kind of witchcraft is this!"

Just now, he felt that all the energy in his body was blocked by a mysterious force.

Fortunately, his cultivation level was not low. He immediately mobilized the true energy in his body and attacked the power with all his strength, thus breaking the seal.

Su Xiaoli smiled and said, "This is not some kind of sorcery, but rather the brilliant writing style of the Confucian true method, on par with the saying that the law follows the words.

Do you want me to write the word [fire] to drive away the cold for you?"

"No, no, no, forget it today! I'm not cold at all!"

Ye Feng quickly shook his head to refuse.

Su Xiaoli said: "This is just a small skill of the Mountain and River Pen. Let me open your eyes."

Su Xiaoli, holding a brush, came to the stone wall of the cave.

She drew a big circle on the stone wall and wrote the word "broken" inside the circle.

With a flick of the pen tip, the hard rock in the circle began to shatter and turn into powder.

In a blink of an eye, a cave with a diameter of three feet and a depth of three or four feet appeared on the rock wall.

This cave looks like it was cut by laser, and the cut is very smooth.

"Well, it's eye-opening!"

"Oh my god, a super shield machine!"

Ye Feng's eyes lit up.

With this thing, wouldn't it be very easy to dig a tunnel or build a high-speed railway?

Su Xiaoli finished pretending and quickly restrained his noble spirit.

She had slept with 100,000 Confucian scholars, and she dared not waste the noble spirit she had accumulated.

With just these two moves, the righteous energy consumed would probably require the sleeping of two hundred Confucian scholars to absorb it back.

Dugu Chan said slowly: "Confucianism and Taoism do have unique techniques, but this is not surprising. The technique of immobilization and the technique of opening a mountain are also found in Taoism."

Su Xiaoli shook his head and said, "This pen can do more than just split mountains and freeze bodies. As far as I know, this pen can do anything. Of course, this requires Master Ye to slowly develop it in the future."

Su Xiaoli threw the Mountain and River Pen to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng took it quickly, fearing that he would break the magic pen.

Dugu Chan took a look and said, "Xiao Li, besides righteousness, is there any other way to activate the Mountain and River Pen?"

Su Xiaoli shook his head and said, "The Confucian magic weapon is the same as the Confucian true method. They are all independent systems. The Mountain and River Brush can only be activated by the great righteousness.

The stronger the righteousness, the more powerful this pen will be. Even if cultivators from other factions obtain Confucian magic weapons, it will be difficult for them to unleash their full power.”

Ye Feng quickly asked, "How can I obtain the righteousness? I mean the normal way, not the one that involves sleeping with scholars."

Su Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him, then said, "Reading and gaining understanding is the easiest way to acquire righteousness.

The Confucian cultivation system is to know books, open one's mind, understand principles, cultivate oneself, establish one's destiny, accumulate virtue, become a wise man, a Confucian sage, and all living beings.

Before reaching the Establishment of Life Realm, reading is sufficient, but after the Accumulation of Virtue Realm, reading is not important. Before that, you should have read almost all the books. After the Accumulation of Virtue, you need to cultivate your Qi and Luck."

"Luck? What is luck?" Ye Feng was puzzled.

Su Xiaoli explained: "Normal cultivators cultivate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and comprehend the creation of the universe.

The fortune cultivated by Confucian practitioners comes from the incense and offerings of all living beings.

Although the power of mortals is weak, every mortal can release a faint power of faith, which is the so-called luck.

The beliefs of ordinary people often determine the rise and fall of a dynasty.

For example, if an emperor is a good emperor who is frugal and loves his people, the people will respect and love him from the bottom of their hearts. Then the respect and love of countless people will converge into a river, forming a very powerful luck. Even if the emperor dies, this luck can last for a considerable period of time and maintain the stability of the dynasty.

This is the destiny that Confucian monks cultivate.

Therefore, Confucian monks have very deep ties with the royal families of all dynasties.

Confucianism governs the world for the royal family, and the royal family gains luck for them.

However, more than 5,000 years ago, the Dali Dynasty's emphasis on Buddhism and suppression of Confucianism almost dealt a devastating blow to the Confucian and Taoist traditions.

The Immortal Hunting War completely destroyed the last of the Confucian forces. Although Confucianism and Taoism were flourishing and numerous scholars were present, the Confucian and Taoist cultivation traditions were in decline.

This situation is what all dynasties have wanted to see the most. They can use Confucianism to govern the country and bring peace to the world, but they do not need to contribute to the fortune of the court.

After the Battle of Hunting Immortals, the Daqian Dynasty began to vigorously promote Confucianism and Taoism, and widely established imperial examinations. Now the world is shared by the king and scholars.

Only Honglu Academy, Zijing Academy, Tianhong Academy, and some great scholars in the Wenyuan Pavilion of the imperial court still have some combat power.

Although other scholars possess some righteousness, it is so weak that even they themselves can hardly feel it."

Su Xiaoli explained the Confucian cultivation method to Ye Feng in detail.

Finally, he said: "Confucianism is not Taoism. Confucianism requires a lot of time to read books. You are a disciple of Taoism. I am not looking down on you. You will never achieve much in Confucianism or Taoism in this life.

Moreover, it is difficult for people with great luck to live long. If you want to turn to Confucianism, even if you become the greatest Confucian scholar in the world, you will definitely not live beyond 150 years old.

"I still have tens of thousands of years left to live. When I'm about to die of old age, how about you lend me this Mountain and River Brush to play with for a few years? As long as you promise me this, I will protect you from now on! No one will dare to bully you!"

Ye Feng thought about it and grinned: "No problem!"

Su Xiaoli was overjoyed.

Ye Feng then said, "Senior Xiaoli, I have another question."

"Just ask!" Su Xiaoli, in a good mood, was very straightforward.

Ye Feng said: "Since Confucianism and Taoism cultivate luck, then can I skip the step of reading thousands of books and just absorb the luck directly?"

Su Xiaoli said, "Theoretically, yes. Not all emperors in history loved reading, but they were all blessed with good fortune."

Su Xiaoli answered casually.

Ye Feng lowered his head, looking at the Mountain and River Pen in his hand, his eyes rolling around, obviously he had something bad to say.

Su Xiaoli didn't care.

After all, the fortune of this dynasty is often concentrated in the hands of the royal family, and Ye Feng has no way to obtain it.

However, she didn't know how much trouble her words "theoretically it's possible" had brought to the royal family.

From then on, a "luck thief" was born in the world who was forever nailed to the pillar of shame in history. This thief was like a big rat in a warehouse, stealing luck bit by bit, and finally almost stole all the luck of the Daqian Dynasty.

Dugu Chan said, "There's nothing left here, let's go out."

Ye Feng put away the Mountain and River Brush and said, "Should we go out, or continue to look down along the abyss?"

Su Xiaoli said, "Of course, we should continue going down. I want to see what happened underground that forced the Earth Spirit Beast to come to the surface."

Dugu Chan shook his head slightly and said, "No need. The underground world is very dangerous. Even you and I cannot guarantee that we can escape from danger.

Besides, we've been here for quite some time, and Ye Xiaozi still has to participate in the sect competition. I will seal the mouth of this abyss, and the earth spirit beasts will never crawl out again."

Su Xiaoli stared intently at Dugu Chan and said, "Old Chan, are you hiding something from me? If someone from the Yunhai Sect really disturbed the earth veins, even if you sealed this abyss, it would be useless. There are thousands of passages connecting to the earth veins throughout the Tianyun Mountains. There are hundreds of them within a hundred miles of Xingluo Peak alone. If the earth spirit beasts can't crawl out from here, they will definitely crawl out through other entrances and exits."

Dugu Chan said, "I'll let Yun Yi handle this matter."

Su Xiaoli looked at Dugu Chan deeply, then nodded slowly.

He said, "Old Chan, the Tianyun Mountain with a radius of 3,000 miles is not just owned by your Yunhai Sect. You know what I mean. If Yun Yi can't handle it, then I can only handle it myself."

Su Xiaoli was very smart. She had long guessed that it must be the disciples of Yunhai Sect who were planning to attack the earth veins again.

Ye Feng actually wanted to visit the underground world.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't dare go down. He wasn't even sure he could kill a single earth spirit beast.

If you follow Su Xiaoli and Dugu Chan down, your safety will be guaranteed.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It’s a pity that our ancestors were unwilling to continue exploring.

After hearing Dugu Chan's words, he said, "We've only been here for an hour or two, haven't we? I just finished competing this morning. I haven't had any competitions in the last two days, so I can get out within two days!"

Su Xiaoli said, "What do you mean by one or two hours? Your soul has been in the secret world for at least two days."

"Huh? What!? Two days! It's over! Let's get out of here! I worked so hard to make it into the top 800, I can't be disqualified just because of the delay! Hurry! Let's get out of here!"

Ye Feng was shocked when he heard that he had been in the secret realm for two days.

There was no time to think about exploring the underground world, so he quickly urged the two to return to the surface.
