Chapter 1204:
The Eight Stones of Confucianism
Listening to Xuanyuan's description of the 'Southern Hell Immortal Province', although it was also a dangerous place, it was the same everywhere. If there was good, there would also be evil. At the very least, the people there and the various races lived in a good environment, unlike in the 'World of Dou Qi', where there were so many fights, so many killings, so many complicated and unfathomable conspiracies, scheming, and so on. It seemed that no place was safe, and it was difficult to find a pure land. -
"Sigh, it's so nice to have a place like that. I'm so envious. Regardless of race, people can live together peacefully. I wonder when the World of Dou Qi will return to that state. You should know that the 'Southern Hell Immortal Province' was inherited from the World of Dou Qi. Now, they are still doing well, but the World of Dou Qi has already fallen. Is this what it means to rise and then fall?" Hwang Yue-chan sighed.
"Yeah, I always feel that this world is so complicated. Isn't it better to be a little simpler?" Qian Duoduo shrugged and said with a troubled look.
"Hehe, don't worry. The 'Blue Dragon Holy Land' is already developing towards the Ancient Golden Age. Although our 'Blue Dragon Holy Land' is only a small part, our influence will slowly grow. We can't rush things. You two shouldn't be too hasty. It's more important to take things step by step. Steady and sure is the most important." Mochou was acting like a little adult, giving advice in a mature manner, which amused Qian Duoduo and Hwang Yue-chan.
"It seems that you want to be a traitor. You don't want to stay in the 'Linglong Celestial Mansion' and want to come to the 'Blue Dragon Holy Land'." Hwang Yue-chan teased Mochou with a bright smile.
"The 'Blue Dragon Holy Land' is my husband's family, and the 'Linglong Celestial Mansion' is my maiden family. They won't stop me if I want to return to the 'Blue Dragon Holy Land'. Anyway, sister Zhixuan is here. Didn't you see that just now, Piggy sent sister Zhixuan back, but I don't need her. Linglong Celestial Mansion already has sister Zhixuan." Mochou giggled, which made Hwang Yue-chan's face turn green.
"You little girl, what nonsense are you talking about? The husband's family means that you have to marry brother Xuanyuan. You haven't even married over yet, so we won't acknowledge it …" Hwang Yue-chan's mouth twitched.
Mochou stuck to Xuanyuan intimately and said with a smile, "If brother Xuanyuan is willing to marry Mochou, then Mochou is also willing. It's best to be able to marry a man like brother Xuanyuan. Sister Zhixuan always says that!"
Hwang Yue-chan and Qian Duoduo looked at Xuanyuan, but Xuanyuan turned his head away and pretended not to hear it. He didn't expect that there was still Zhixuan. She had always been indifferent and didn't say anything. There were no rumors between her and Xuanyuan. But now that Zhixuan said something like this, it was clear what she was thinking.
But Zhixuan wasn't worried. She had to deal with the little one in front of her first, so she started persuading her earnestly.
"Mochou, your relationship with Xuanyuan is that of a brother and sister. If the two of you are together, it will be a matter that will anger both men and gods. It's against the norm, do you understand?" Hwang Yue-chan said earnestly.
"Ah, just because I call him brother Xuanyuan? Then why don't I call him Xuanyuan from now on?" Mochou looked at Hwang Yue-chan innocently.
"That won't do. You are brother and sister, this is an established fact. It doesn't matter what you call him. A sister marrying a brother is unacceptable. Mochou, you are still young, you will meet many good men in the future. The relationship between you and Xuanyuan is that of a brother and sister, not that of a man and a woman." Qian Duoduo and Hwang Yue-chan joined hands and said a lot.
"We are not biological brother and sister …" Mochou's last sentence made them speechless.
"Right, brother Xuanyuan." Mochou smiled at Xuanyuan.
"Ah, uh … we really are not biological brother and sister …" Xuanyuan touched his nose and said the truth. He blushed. Mochou was innocent, so Xuanyuan didn't take it seriously.
"You …" Hwang Yue-chan almost died of anger.
"Alright, child's words carry no harm. Mochou is just a child, why are you so serious with her? Let's go," Xuanyuan said indifferently.
"Oh, okay. My husband, let's go." Hearing Xuanyuan's words, Hwang Yue-chan's face changed immediately. She was happy. Originally, she thought that Xuanyuan wanted to marry Mochou, but it turned out that Mochou was just a little girl who was still wet behind the ears.
Mochou didn't say much, knowing that it would be inappropriate to say anything more. She just held onto Xuanyuan's arm and stuck close to Xuanyuan, accompanying them all the way.
Not long after, Xuanyuan and the others arrived at a celestial mountain.
The Immortal mountain was simple and unadorned, with beautiful mountains and rivers. The entire mountain was filled with an aura of supreme Yang that resonated with the sun up in the heavens. Any ghost or god who entered this place would have their souls destroyed, never to be reincarnated. That was because they could not resist the righteous Confucian aura of righteousness. This mountain was named Confucian Mountain.
When Xuanyuan and the others arrived at Confucian Mountain, a child came out to greet them. His movements were light and graceful, and his feet stepped on the air as if he was walking on flat ground. He said to Xuanyuan, "You must be the descendant of the Devouring Holy Emperor, Xuanyuan!"
The child had white hair and was less than three feet tall. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand and looked hale and hearty. He bowed to Xuanyuan.
"That's right." Xuanyuan and the others bowed back, not daring to be negligent.
"The ancestors have already said that if you come, they will bring you across the bridge. If you can cross it, they will only see you," the child said seriously.
"Oh, good. Then please lead the way." Xuanyuan smiled. These eight old men were really interesting. They still had to cross the bridge just to see them. Could it be that there was some secret hidden in the bridge?
Xuanyuan didn't say anything else. When they arrived at the celestial mountain, Mochou, Qian Duoduo, and Hwang Yue-chan also didn't say anything. They had heard of the Yang Dao Eight Immortals. They were all great Confucian clans. Although their clans had been destroyed, they still inherited the heritage of their ancestors.
Under the guidance of the child, the group passed through the forest, crossed the spirit stream, crossed the mountain ridges, and finally arrived at the peak of Confucian Mountain. There was a bridge in front of them.
"Young Master Xuanyuan, this is the Eight Step Bridge. The other side is where the ancestors live. Please." As soon as the child finished speaking, he retreated to the side and didn't say anything else.
Xuanyuan looked ahead. There were eight stone slabs floating in the air. Below them was a cliff that was tens of thousands of feet high. They were floating in the air, motionless and as steady as Mount Tai.
Each of the floating slabs was simple and unadorned. They were ancient and the carvings on them were blurred. However, Xuanyuan could still feel the profound power hidden within them.
He looked at the other side. There were simple huts like a small mountain village. There were eight of them in total. The Yang Dao Eight Immortals lived in them.
Xuanyuan was very silent. He didn't say a word or ask anything. He walked to the end of the bridge and took his first step. The slabs shook violently. Xuanyuan felt like his body was almost blown away. Suddenly, an evil aura surrounded his body. All kinds of evil thoughts were born in Xuanyuan's heart. He was startled and quickly calmed his mind. The power that once came from the Hundred Saints Grand Light slowly spread to every corner of Xuanyuan's body. Gradually, the slabs stabilized.
Xuanyuan stood up and took his second step. The slabs were stable without any reaction. Xuanyuan then took the third step, the fourth step, the fifth step, the sixth step, the seventh step. Each step was safe and sound. When Xuanyuan stepped on the eighth slabs, suddenly, a great pressure descended from the sky. The pressure almost broke Xuanyuan's bones and muscles. This was a kind of spiritual and physical suppression.
The supreme killing intent came down from the nine heavens. The slabs also shook violently. Xuanyuan took a deep breath and withstood this killing intent. He stood up bit by bit. His eyes were clear and unmoved. He wore down the killing intent until the slabs under his feet stabilized. Xuanyuan's killing intent was not aroused by this killing intent.
He let out a long sigh and directly stepped on the other shore. However, in the next moment, he was back at the beginning of the bridge. Xuanyuan was startled.
The boy seemed to have received some order. He said to Xuanyuan: "You can go back. The ancestors said that you have seen each other. They appreciate your kindness!"
Xuanyuan was confused. He didn't know what was going on. He nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll take my leave!"
The Yang Path Eight Immortals were becoming more and more unfathomable. Mo Chou blinked a few times. Ignoring Xuanyuan's obstruction, she stepped on the eight slabs several times. Nothing happened, which made her very surprised.
"Please go back." The boy didn't say anything about Mo Chou's mischief. Xuanyuan knew that Mo Chou was feeling indignant on his behalf. He couldn't help but laugh.
A moment later, Xuanyuan left with the group.
In the thatched cottage on the other shore, a few voices came: "Wavering between the righteous and benevolent stones. Is this Xuanyuan really up to such a heavy responsibility?"
"He has no problems with the wisdom, propriety, faith, loyalty, and filial stones. To be accepted by the six scholarly stones is already not simple!"
"If he is not benevolent, then the common people will suffer in the future. If he is not righteous, then the human race will fall into the evil path. This is a serious matter that cannot be ignored!"
"In the end, didn't he stand firm on both the benevolent and righteous stones? This child Xuanyuan is just like those eight little bastards said, he is a trustworthy person. Look at the little girl beside him, Mo Chou. She has the 'Thousand Spirit Body'. The eight scholarly stones don't have any conflict with her. Birds of a feather flock together. Don't worry, as long as we guide this child well, he will definitely become a great person in the future!"
"We can only hope that this is the case. The 'Blue Dragon Holy Land' is a grand place with many things waiting to be done. As long as we walk down this path, we won't stray too far!"
The Confucian Sect's Eight Stones: benevolence, wisdom, propriety, righteousness, loyalty, filial, and righteousness. In ancient times, the Confucian Sect used these ancient stones to test the moral character of their disciples. Each stone was engraved with the meaning of the eight characters. If one was not recognized, they would be sent flying by the ancient stone. Xuanyuan barely passed the test.
