"Please give me a monthly ticket."
When the old man Shu Shan said the last sentence, his tone was already quite stern.
That imposing manner made Ye Zhiqiu and the Flowery Monk feel suffocated and unable to breathe. They couldn't help but want to retreat and leave the hall. They didn't have the face to stand there.
"Yes, I'm here to take the book collection."
Yi Tianxing's expression didn't change. His face was still calm as he spoke without concealing anything.
He came here for the book collection. The book collection was a treasure. This couldn't be hidden from others, and there was no need to hide it. Facing the old man Shu Shan's eyes that were as clear and deep as the sea. It was definitely not an easy thing to lie in front of him.
Facing such an old scholar, it was best to choose a straightforward approach.
When the old man heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, but it immediately disappeared. He said calmly, "Very well, you didn't lie. As a reward, I can let you choose three ancient books in this Xuanzhen Hall and you can take them away at will. As for the two of them, they can't take a single one. "His eyes fell on Ye Zhiqiu and the Flowery Monk.
A person must have the courage to do and bear the consequences.
If they didn't even have the courage to admit it, they didn't deserve more.
It wasn't just courage. It was a test of facing one's heart. If one didn't even have the courage to face one's heart, how could one climb to the higher peaks of the world? To become a true expert.
When Ye Zhiqiu and the Flowery Monk heard this, their faces changed. Their minds were like a tsunami, constantly tumbling, and all kinds of thoughts were constantly colliding.
"Three ancient books?"
When Yi Tianxing heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "I'm very greedy. I want all the ancient books in this Xuanzhen Hall. I don't know if there's a way for me to take away all the ancient books. Leaving these books here is a kind of blasphemy to the sages. They should be taken out to benefit more humans and contribute to the development of the human race. "
His voice didn't hide his desire to get all the ancient books in the entire Xuanzhen Hall.
He was very greedy, and he never concealed his greed for these ancient books.
These books had a great impact on the future of the Mysterious Yellow Town, so much so that he had the idea of taking away all the ancient books. If they succeeded, the Scripture Pavilion would become one of the most powerful Scripture Pavilions in the entire Eternal Continent.
The temptation was too great.
"Do you know how many ancient books there are here?"
Old Man Mountain of Books frowned slightly when he heard this. He looked at Yi Tian Xing and said with a cold smile, "Here are 305 chapters of the 'Book of Songs', 20 chapters of the 'Analects of Confucius', 'Mencius', 'Liezi', 'Nan Hua Sutra', and 33 chapters of the 'Strategies of the Warring States'. Lu Ban Remnant Scroll, chapter 43. "
"There are 134745 Daoist scriptures. Treatise on Policy, Chapter 658 of the Pill Classic. There were also 1032 books on the cultivation methods of necromancers and the book Huainan Zi written by the King of Huainan. The King of Huainan was good at alchemy and wrote an alchemy scripture called Huainan Alchemy Scripture. This alchemy scripture was one of the most precious ancient scriptures in the Xuanzhen Hall. You actually want to take them all away. Young man, it's not a good thing to be too greedy. "
Shu Shan looked at Yi Tianxing calmly.
The number of ancient books in the Xuanzhen Hall was astonishing. What he had just said was only a part of them. Almost all the ancient books that the King of Huainan could collect were gathered here.
Some of the cultivation methods in the Eternal Continent had changed during the process of the integration of the Eternal Continent. They were already the most suitable cultivation methods for the Eternal Continent. They could be cultivated. Even cultivation methods that could not be cultivated in the past could be cultivated now. They had undergone a transformation.
The incomplete scriptures in the past had now become valuable.
Choosing any one of them here was a great opportunity. Yi Tianxing was greedy and wanted to take all of them away. He was simply too greedy.
He should be struck by lightning for being so greedy.
He was already a little unhappy with Yi Tianxing.
"Only when people are greedy will they have desires. Only with desires can the entire civilization develop and improve."
Yi Tianxing didn't care and said, "Fish have desires. They want to leave the sea and fly into the sky. So, some fish turn into Pengs and soar in the sky. Humans have desires. They want to fly in the sky. So, Lu Ban created mechanical birds that could fly in the sky. Humans have desires to fight with beasts and monsters. So, they observed the natural changes of the world and created cultivation methods to become cultivators. Life evolved and transformed. Humans have desires for money to promote the development of commerce. Humans want to eat better. They want to cultivate all kinds of vegetables and rice. "
"What you mean is that greed is not wrong and desire is not wrong. If everyone is greedy and wants to run amok, then the entire world will collapse and human civilization will be destroyed. "
Old Man Mountain of Books retorted bluntly.
He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if everyone showed greed and was dominated by desire. That would definitely be terrifying. The entire world's order would collapse and it would become hell on earth.
"I'm not saying that greed and desire need to be completely unleashed. The reason why humans are humans is because they have already imposed a shackle on themselves from the very beginning. "
Yi Tianxing shook his head and said, "This shackle is called morality. Morality is the shackle that binds people's desires. Before doing anything, they will consider whether it goes against the moral standards in their hearts. People without morality are demons. People with morality, even if they are occasionally dominated by desire, will know when to stop. There are many kinds of desires. It depends on one's position and purpose. Good desires naturally need to be preserved. Bad desires need to be restrained by the shackle of morality. "
"Fallacy! You mean that your desire to occupy all the ancient books in the Mystic Truth Temple is good. "Shu Shan frowned slightly when he heard that.
"Maybe my desire is not good for others. They can only see greed. But for my Xuanhuang Town, for the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people under my control, it is a great thing. It can bring the most direct change. It can make me grow faster, make the Mysterious Yellow Town stronger, and the speed of its expansion will be faster. It can protect more humans. For me. So what if I release this desire. "
There was a flash of determination in Yi Tianxing's eyes.
This was his belief.
"My duty, the mission of my birth, is to protect these books. If you take away all these ancient books, then there is no need for me to exist. You are going to kill me. If you want to get these ancient books, there is only one way. That is to defeat me and kill me. Otherwise … Get out. "
Elder Shu Shan blew his beard and said with a flash of indifference in his eyes.
"Then let's try it."
There was a flash of fighting spirit in Yi Tianxing's eyes and he said resolutely.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward without hesitation.
When this step landed on the ground of the hall, the whole ground roared and trembled violently. It seemed that even the ground was about to crack. He hit Elder Shu Shan with a palm. One could see that there was a golden light flowing in this palm. The majestic qi and blood were rolling, like a peerless dragon and elephant crashing over. It emitted an oppressive aura like a mountain.
With his strength, even a towering ancient tree would be smashed into pieces if he struck out with his palm.
"Young people are really unfriendly. Don't damage these precious ancient books if you fight here. " Elder Shu Shan saw this and frowned slightly. With a wave of his hand, all the books in the entire Mystic Truth Hall disappeared without a sign. What he saw previously was like a bubble. It didn't exist at all.
"Indeed, I was wondering why I felt that the contents of the scrolls were a little blurry. It shouldn't be real. "A thought flashed in Yi Tianxing's mind when he saw this. However, the movement of his hand did not stop at all. He continued to hit Elder Shu Shan violently.
"Stubborn!!"
Elder Shu Shan shook his head slightly and spat out these four words.
Whoosh!!
As soon as his voice fell, a spear shot out from Elder Shu Shan's mouth. It was a snow-white ancient spear. As soon as it appeared, it was like a sharp flying spear. With a powerful righteousness, it directly pierced through Yi Tianxing's palm that was slapping over. It wanted to pierce through his hand and leave a hole in it.
Confucian Vital Aperture — Verbal Spear!!
This white spear was the Verbal Spear divine ability. The stronger one's Confucian cultivation, the more destructive power they could unleash. The more righteousness they instilled, the more powerful it would be. At this moment, the spear contained a huge amount of righteousness.
The sharpness of the Verbal Spear seemed to be able to pierce through the void.
It pierced through space.
Even Ye Zhiqiu and the Flowery Monk, who were standing at the side, felt a prickling sensation on their skin. It was like being stared at by a venomous snake and would instantly take their lives.
Boom!!
The palm and the Verbal Spear collided.
Yi Tianxing didn't back down. His palm firmly slapped the tip of the Verbal Spear. The scene of his palm being completely pierced by the spear didn't appear. A majestic Qi and blood and True Qi erupted from his hand. It bombarded the Verbal Spear.
The Verbal Spear trembled violently, and the Shenguang on it flashed.
The righteousness was firm and domineering, vast and boundless.
A terrifying shockwave actually forcefully pushed Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Zhichun backwards. Their bodies couldn't help but retreat.
In the Shenguang, it could be seen.
A spear hole appeared on Yi Tianxing's palm. A trace of blood seeped out, but the wound quickly healed under the effect of the powerful Qi and blood. It erased the power of the divine ability on the wound.
As for the Verbal Spear, it was also slapped away by a huge force, and the light on it dimmed. Then, it disappeared.
"Life Aperture Realm cultivation."
Yi Tianxing looked at Shu Shan. After one collision, he could vaguely feel the strength of Elder Shu Shan. It was definitely beyond the Divine Sea Realm. The righteousness in his body was as vast as the ocean. It was the true ocean of Confucianism. It was incomparably pure.
