"That is to say, for the demons and barbarians, the power of enlightenment is more important than anything else?" Yang Yuhuan asked. ☆ →
"Yes. Kong Sheng's foundation was enlightenment. Whether it was before him or after him, the legendary figures of the Spring and Autumn Period were far inferior. Before Kong Sheng, there were many sages, but they did not break away from the privilege of enlightenment held by the nobles. They did not even have the concept of "education without discrimination," let alone enlightening all beings. Kong Sheng was the only one who broke the shackles of the nobles on the path of enlightenment. He started the precedent of truly enlightening the world and made the human race truly wise. Therefore, even the Saints of Demon and Barbarian Race rarely attack Kong Sheng. Not to mention the human race worshipping Kong Sheng as the 'Holy Teacher' and 'Eternal Paragon', even some Barbarian Race took the initiative to worship Kong Sheng as the 'First Master of All Worlds' after learning the scriptures of the human race.
"I know about this. King Wen saved the human race from disaster, and Kong Sheng enlightened the human race. Both of them had great merits, so the Hundred Schools worshipped him as the First Saint. Without Kong Sheng, the human race would have been ignorant for at least a few hundred years, and there would not have been the prosperity that followed, "Yang Yuhuan said.
Su Xiaoxiao whispered, "I heard people talking about it in Kong City. The reason why the Barbarian Saints did not attack Kong Sheng was that they wanted to make Kong Sheng the ancestor god of the apes after conquering the Two Worlds Mountain and enslaving the human race. They wanted to steal the path of enlightenment and let the barbarians prosper."
Fang Yun's body shook. He did not expect there to be such a theory. He had never heard of it before.
Zhao Hongzhuang and Yang Yuhuan were also shocked. This idea was indeed strange, but it was not impossible.
Zhao Hongzhuang whispered, "That's not right. Kong Sheng had the appearance of a saint when he died. He was a real saint in the Holy Hall of All Worlds. How could the barbarians have such an idea?"
Ao Huang pouted and protested in a low voice, "Your First Teacher of All Worlds is Kong Sheng, but our Dragons have Master Lei. Don't mix them up. Of course, I don't object to the two of them being equal. After all, I grew up reading Confucius Sheng's scriptures. "
Fang Yun fell into deep thought. The conversation between the three of them reminded him of something. Kong Sheng's Holy Path was benevolence and righteousness, while his Holy Path was more inclined towards "merit". Kong Sheng's Holy Path might be wrong, but his great merit of breaking the monopoly of education and founding and educating the human race would never be extinguished. This was the foundation of Kong Sheng becoming a Saint.
As the human race continued to grow, many branches of the Divine Path would weaken, but the great contributions of enlightening and educating the human race would not disappear.
While the people in the box were talking, the auctioneer tried his best to introduce the effects of the Three Character Classic and its ability to enlighten all living things.
No matter how much the auctioneer flattered it, no one objected, because all the children of the human race were studying the Three Character Classic. Some barbarians even imitated the Three Character Classic and wrote the Three Character Classic of Barbarians and Demons, allowing them to know the history, personalities, and culture of their own race.
"The 'Three Character Classic' written by Fang Xusheng contains the sacred path of enlightenment and is a work of a thousand years! The starting bid is ten million taels of silver, and each increment must not be less than one million taels of silver! Everyone, please make your bids! "
However, there was no bidding for the official seal.
Everyone was puzzled. Then they laughed involuntarily. The Three Character Classic was too important. Those who couldn't afford it would be embarrassed to immediately bid, while those who could afford it would wait until the price was about right. Only then would they be able to participate in the auction.
The auctioneer smiled and said, "This is the finale of Fang Yun's special auction. It's the last item. If it's snatched by someone else, it will be too late for regrets. Then. Is there anyone bidding now? "
"The West Sea Dragon Palace bids 100 million taels of silver." A low voice sounded. 100 million taels of silver. That was a year's worth of taxes for an ordinary state.
Then, a strange chill swept through the room. No one felt the chill physically, but their souls seemed to be frozen.
"Ao Ming, this is not the place for you to behave atrociously!" Ao Huang said angrily.
"Ao Huang, although you're a True Dragon, you're only a Dragon Marquis. I'm a Dragon King. Watch your tone!"
"Three years at most. This dragon will go to the West Sea Dragon Palace and beat you up!" Ao Huang shouted.
"Hmph!"
Ao Huang immediately said, "The East Sea Dragon Palace bids 200 million!"
"Shut up!" The Azure Robe Dragon Marquis couldn't help but scold.
Ao Huang realized that he was being silly. He shrunk his neck and flew behind Fang Yun. He said in a wronged tone, "We're all family. It's fine to give more."
"Haha, why? Is the East Sea Dragon Palace not prepared to bid 200 million taels of silver?" Ao Ming's voice echoed in the hall.
"Yes, the East Sea Dragon Palace will not bid 200 million, but 250 million!" The voice of the Azure Robe Dragon Marquis contained the power of Dragons, shocking everyone present.
The rich families were silent. How many years had it been since they saw the Dragons being so domineering? They opened their mouth and bid 100 million taels of silver. The rich families couldn't compete at all.
The West Sea Dragons' private room was silent for a moment. Ao Qian said, "If I remember correctly, the East Sea Dragon Palace doesn't have much silver and banknotes left."
Even though the Saint Origin World was vast and had a large population, the total amount of silver was limited. Naturally, the amount of banknotes was limited as well.
"My East Sea Dragon Palace can still afford a few hundred million taels of silver. Even if we don't have much silver, we still have a lot of pearls and jades. However, your West Sea Dragon Palace has the help of the Demon Realm. Perhaps your wealth will be better. "The Azure Robe Dragon Marquis said.
"Nonsense!" Ao Ming retorted.
The humans in the auction hall started to discuss.
"The West Sea Dragons are really good at acting. They have been colluding with the Demon Realm for a long time."
"I heard that the West Sea Dragon Sage almost came to snatch Fang Xusheng's Ancestral Dragon True Blood. He is so shameless!"
"That day in the competition, six quasi-Sages appeared. The Plant Sage pointed at the West Sea Dragon Palace as a warning to the West Sea Dragon Sage!"
"The Three Character Classic is a sacred item of the human race. Even if it's not the first copy, it's still very important. It's fine to give it to the East Sea Dragon Palace, but it can't fall into the hands of the West Sea Dragon Palace."
"The human families should just join hands!"
The crowd was furious, but none of the dragons from the West Sea Dragon Palace dared to step forward.
The Dragons from the North Sea Dragon Palace and the South Sea Dragon Palace originally wanted to participate in the auction, but now they hesitated. If they really participated in the auction, they might offend both the East Sea Dragon Palace and the West Sea Dragon Palace.
The auctioneer coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Because this auction has a poem that involves the Sage Dao, the Notre-Dame has a rule that it cannot be leaked. If there is a dispute, it will be decided by the owner. Alright, now that the East Sea Dragon Palace has bid 250 million, who is willing to bid a higher price? "
"Ding …"
"Ding …"
The auction finally returned to normal. The various families started to bid continuously.
The leaders of the wealthy families sighed. Some of them originally wanted to join hands to bid. At most, they would combine their family's teachings and let their descendants be baptized by the Three Character Classic. However, they didn't expect the price to soar to 300 million just as the auction started. It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but once they did, they would definitely suffer a great loss. Moreover, the price kept rising!
Many families that didn't participate in the auction finally revealed their fangs.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the price had soared to 800 million taels of silver!
Jingguo's taxes last year added up to only 640 million taels of silver!
All the wealthy families gave up. Even the extremely wealthy Luban Xusheng Family had to give up halfway.
After the price exceeded 500 million taels of silver, the auction had become a battlefield for the families!
