Chapter 53: Refusing to fulfill obligations but choosing to enjoy power "Why are you looking at me like that?" "We are Confucianists, not just scholars. Being proficient in both civil and military affairs is a basic quality, okay?" "The world of immortal cultivation is so chaotic. How can I reason with others without an axe?" Kong Haoran noticed the puzzled looks of Xu Gu and Mi Suhui, and retorted as a matter of course. "Ah?" Mi Suhui was stunned, very surprised, and even doubted his ears. Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You are using an axe to reason with others. Are you being reasonable? However, although his intuition told him that an axe would not be necessary to reason with him, he really had no way to refute it. After listening to it, Xu Gu thought about it for a while and agreed with it very much, saying seriously: "That's the truth. "When you meet a scholar, you have your own way of reasoning with him. When you meet a physical cultivator, you should also have your own way of reasoning with him. It's just that my previous understanding of Confucian cultivation was a bit narrow." “……” Mi Suhui looked at Xu Gu in surprise. Is this what Confucianism and Taoism are like? He didn't know why, but he always felt something was wrong. "Right!" Seeing Xu Gu's approval, Kong Haoran became more proud. Without any hesitation, he took a step forward and approached the treasure in the center of the sea.
As he said this, he was about to raise his hand to grab it. But then a line of mysterious and vast runes appeared on the axe, forming a row of small characters. "With great power comes great responsibility. This axe is full of might and represents the orthodoxy of Confucianism. If you take it, your strength will soar. Are you willing to give everything for the people of the world? From now on, cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country and bring peace to the world?" As this line of small words appeared, Mi Suhui's mouth twitched: "It is truly a Confucian treasure." Xu Gu was also a little surprised. It was understandable that this axe was a treasure of Confucianism, but it was a bit too much to say that this axe could represent the orthodoxy of Confucianism! Is this a heritage? Then, Mi Suhui's expression changed slightly, and he warned Kong Haoran: "It seems that if you want to obtain this treasure, you need to bear the consequences. Are you sure you want to..." This treasure is not so easy to obtain. However, before he could finish his words, Kong Haoran had already placed his hand on the axe. Such decisiveness was completely beyond the two's expectations. Mi Suhui looked at Kong Haoran with a high opinion. He did not doubt Kong Haoran's righteous heart, but the requirement of this treasure was to give everything for the people of the world. It was impossible for a saint to do it without being selfless. Xu Gu also raised his eyebrows, feeling very sad. Did he misjudge Kong Haoran? "I don't want to." Kong Haoran said very frankly. As he spoke, the hand holding the axe suddenly exerted force and pulled the axe up. He refused to take on obligations but chose to enjoy power. ax:"???" The axe had been humming, with dazzling divine light and the pervasive Taoist charm. Especially when Kong Haoran was about to pick it up, one could clearly feel the excitement and restlessness from it. But as soon as Kong Haoran finished speaking, it became quiet. The light, the sound, and the rhythm of Tao all disappeared. He seemed to be in a daze.
It was as if my excited heart had died. It wasn't just him who was stunned, Xu Gu and Mi Suhui were also there. "Can it be done this way?" The two looked at each other and said in unison. Xu Gu suffered from his lack of education and experience. He had only seen such scenes in storybooks, where the destined protagonist was usually treated like this. He thought that only by agreeing could he take the treasure away. It turns out that the last wish left by the treasure's previous owner does not have to be fulfilled. Mi Suhui, however, saw that Kong Haoran was so decisive and righteous, and he never thought that he would refuse. This operation was completely beyond his cognition. "What? Is there a problem?" Kong Haoran became more and more confused: "It asked me if I was willing, but I didn't want to." "..."Xu Gu and Mi Suhui looked at each other in silence. Logically...it seems to be fine. Then, his eyes fell on the axe. "He didn't want to, and you let him pull you out?" Mi Suhui was heartbroken. I am afraid that my brothers will suffer, and I am also afraid that my brothers will get treasures and not have to fulfill their obligations. This is worse than killing him! ax:"……" It's even worse! Who would have known that this person, whose Confucian and Taoist aura was so strong beyond imagination, and whose face was filled with enthusiasm and determination when he saw the line of small words emerging on his body, would do this! It had not seen a Confucian cultivator for more than 100,000 years, let alone such a talented Confucianist or Taoist. It was so excited that its joy blinded its reason, and in a hurry, it chose to accept Kong Haoran without waiting for him to finish his answer. It turned out to be a mistake! Now, is it appropriate to jump back? "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Obviously inappropriate. As it was taken out by Kong Haoran and no longer suppressed the surroundings, the surrounding ocean began to become restless, the sea water rolled, and the momentum was huge, sweeping over, and the mountains on the seabed began to collapse. "Run!" Mi Suhui crushed a Vajra Talisman, pulled Xu Gu and Kong Haoran, and turned into a stream of light and fled. "This is……" Sensing the movement, the dragon guarding outside trembled and instinctively wanted to escape. But, if I run away, will I be beaten to death by those three lunatics? After all, there is a severe crackdown outside and this sea area is not big, so where can you escape to? Moreover, considering how insidious and vicious those three people were, even though they didn't impose any restrictions on him overtly, they must have used some means in secret! Just when he made up his mind to go upstream to pick up Xu Gu and the other two, Mi Suhui's voice rang out: "What a pity, he didn't escape, otherwise he could have eaten grilled loach." The dragon's scalp felt numb.
Aren't you a Buddhist? Do you still eat meat? However, I was extremely lucky afterwards because I didn't try to escape, otherwise I would have been doomed. "boom!" The dragon leaped up and flew out of the sea, turning the clouds and rain to escape the dark waves in the sea. After a moment, it dived into the dragon pool of its own breath. Following the dragon pond, we flew into the tiger's den. However, in order to return to his ancestral roots and practice with the help of the holy axe of Confucianism and Taoism, he built the Dragon Pond very close to the axe. He had just led Xu Gu and others into the tiger's den and returned to the Fallen Spirit Pond. Huge waves from the surging sea swept in, trying to flood the Fallen Spirit Pond. "Oh no, it's going to flood." Kong Haoran and Mi Suhui looked panicked. "Hurry and destroy the tiger's den." Xu Gu's expression remained unchanged as he spoke to Kong Haoran and Mi Suhui. "it is good!" The two men and the dragon used their means to stop the ocean from flooding back and tried to destroy the tiger's den. But at this moment. There was a strange noise in the distance. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Before, a group of monks who were fishing in the distance had excited, crazy and happy expressions on their faces, and they rode their flying swords and rushed over. The magic in his hand is still brewing. He aimed at Xu, Gu and the other two. “It’s God’s will!” "I thought they were gone! Unexpectedly, they came back again!" "Not only did he come back, but he also caused trouble. Now not only am I overwhelmed, but he also broke the restrictions that restrict us here!" The monks paid a huge price to fish for the fallen spirits. Seeing that all the fallen spirits were caught by Xu Gu and others, they naturally felt unwilling. Even after all the water was drained, they did not try to leave, but instead tried to search through the puddles unwillingly to find any fish that had escaped. Now, Xu Gu and the other two have returned in a panic, and have shaken the restrictions of this world, which no longer restrain them. Naturally, they regarded it as a great opportunity. "Little devils, hand over the fallen spirits, or you will die!" As soon as the threatening voice was uttered, their attacks had already landed. They were all fatal moves. Ordinary Qigong practitioners would surely die if they came into contact with them. however.
When Xu Gu saw this scene, a sneer appeared on his lips: "We all thought they had run away. Unexpectedly, they are all waiting to die here." As he was speaking, dozens of feet of thick black smoke and fog appeared behind him. Six evil spirits emerged, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. It seemed as if they could break through the sky and earth. They were like the god of hell descending. The sense of oppression was extremely strong. He suddenly rushed towards the group of monks who were rushing towards him and killed them. "It just so happens that I want to practice the ghost magic Hundred Ghosts Lifting the Lotus, and I'm in short of materials." Xu Gu looked down from above, with demonic flames surging, and said lightly. (End of this chapter)
