Book of Disaster

"Not bad!"

"what?"

Bai Qi looked confused. What was good?

What kind of divine expansion is this?

He hasn't handed in his homework yet? Have you read it yet?

"I was saying that you performed well in the Taishi Palace!"

The teacher spoke, and that serious face was like a melting glacier in front of Bai Qi, revealing a smile from the heart:

"'Three cups of wine lead to the great way, one bowl of wine harmonizes with nature'. I know you are a little special and different from others, but I never thought you could write such a poem, turning words into scriptures!"

"Master has long said that the descendants of the Bai family, a family of generals, cannot be so stupid. Master used to think that you just lacked a chance. Now it seems that you have finally become enlightened and have completely awakened to the truth."

"I am sincerely happy for you!"

"..."

The teacher nodded as he spoke, looking proud, as if Bai Qi was his "favorite student", and he didn't notice at all that Bai Qi was hesitant to speak.

"..."

Bai Qi.

What's happening here?

Is this the iron-faced, impartial, and ruthless teacher that my elder brother mentioned?

How come it was completely different from what he imagined?

——He had thought that he might be exposed, but he didn’t expect that the teacher would help him cover it up.

Enlightenment?

Enlightenment?

This is good, and saves me from explaining myself.

"Thank you, teacher! This is all thanks to your good teaching!"

Bai Qi bowed his head, saluted with both hands, and walked forward to flatter the emperor loudly. He didn't expect that his performance in the Taishi Palace would have such great benefits. He smiled in his heart and immediately took advantage of the situation.

Hearing Bai Qi sharing some of the "credit" with him, the teacher couldn't help but laugh and stroked his beard:

"You don't have to be modest. Zhu Zi also knows about your work of 'transforming words into scriptures'. This is a great event that we Confucians haven't had for a long time. Zhu Zi admires you very much."

"You were not even a Tongsheng originally, but because of your outstanding performance, Zhu Zi and other great Confucian scholars decided to make an exception and grant you Confucian status. From now on, you are considered a member of the Confucian and Taoist lineage."

"The master has something for you."

When the teacher said this, the serious expression on his face relaxed a lot, revealing a rare gentleness and kindness:

"You are my student. You performed well in the Taishi Palace, which made me proud. This is a handwritten copy of the Daily Records passed down by my teacher. It was written by an ancient sage. I have always treasured it. Now I am officially passing it to you. I hope it will be helpful to you."

"Thank you teacher."

Bai Qi said sincerely.

He thought his teacher was an old scholar... but now he seems to be quite nice.

"Also, there is one more thing—"

The teacher paused here and continued:

"Zhu Zi has decided to make an exception and summon you to the Holy Temple."

Speaking of the name Zhu Zi, the teacher became extremely respectful, with an expression of utmost respect, and a look of envy and yearning in his eyes.

"Zhu Zi? Teacher, who is the Zhu Zi you are talking about?"

Bai Qi raised his head, confused?

This was another unfamiliar word he heard in this world.

According to his knowledge in another world, those who can be called "Zi" are not ordinary people, such as "Laozi" and "Confucius". Does Xixi refer to "big figures" of this level?

Or did he hear wrongly?

Is Zhuzi just an ordinary name, like "Xi Xi"?

He has only been in this world for a short time, and there are many things he really doesn't know.

However, Bai Qi did not expect that this one sentence would cause such a huge reaction from the teacher.

"How dare you! Don't be rude to Zhu Zi!"

The teacher shouted, obviously displeased.

But soon, seeing Bai Qi, who was only fifteen years old, the teacher was silent for a moment, and his expression eased a lot:

"My child, remember that Zhu Xi is a saint of Confucianism and Taoism. He is also one of the few saints left in the Confucianism and Taoism lineage in the entire human world. He has the supreme status and is of the same status as the ancient philosophers."

"No one should be disrespectful to Zhu Zi, let alone be rude!"

"In our Confucianism, being summoned by Zhu Xi is a supreme honor! This is also a privilege that many people can only encounter but not seek."

"Zhu Zi has lived in the Holy Temple for a long time, studying the classics and delving into knowledge. He will not leave easily, let alone receive outsiders. Even Your Majesty has never been allowed to see him, let alone other people."

"Now you understand how special this honor is, right?"

At the end, the teacher sighed deeply, his tone revealing endless envy and regret.

That’s Zhu Zi!

It's unknown how long the old man has been living in the holy temple, ignoring worldly affairs. Countless masters and great scholars of Confucianism and Taoism have wanted to see him but were unable to do so.

I don’t know what virtue this kid has to have to be summoned by the saint!

It's really enviable.

On the other side, Bai Qi had already been stunned.

saint?

Is he really a saint?

Although Bai Qi knew that Zhu Zi was a powerful figure, he did not expect him to be so powerful.

In another world, the various schools of thought exist in textbooks. They are well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge, the most learned people in the world, and know everything!

That is the source of all human civilization!

If ordinary people want to admire him, they can only look at his portrait in textbooks.

That is the real myth.

Bai Qi didn't expect that this legendary myth actually existed in this world and even summoned him!

real or fake?

Bai Qi felt unreal, but looking at the teacher's serious expression——

“…I’m not sleepy anymore!”

Bai Qi suddenly became excited.

He just had countless doubts in his mind. If Zhu Zi was really a god-like existence in this world, then not only could he fulfill his dream, but he could also find out from Zhu Zi about the reality of this world.

It's even impossible to find a way to leave here directly!

opportunity!

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Bai Qi felt both excited and nervous.

The teacher didn't know what Bai Qi was thinking at the moment.

"I will tell you the etiquette for meeting Zhu Zi. Remember not to be rude. In addition, Zhu Zi also knows that your Bai family is a family of military commanders, so the time will be set when your martial soul awakening ceremony is over."

This was the second time Bai Qi heard the words "Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony".

"Yes, the student will remember the teacher's teachings."

Bai Qi hurriedly said respectfully.

"Okay, let's go to class next."

……

Two days later, in the northwest of the capital, Wuhun Valley.

Wuhun Valley is vast, covering hundreds of hectares, and is surrounded by mountains. At the entrance, two black treasure flags as thick as sea bowls and more than 20 meters long stand on the left and right, fluttering in the wind.

On one side it says "Martial Soul" and on the other side it says "Sacrifice".

Nearby were rows of Yuan Dynasty imperial guards in helmets and armor, looking majestic and in charge of the guarding.

"Soul Spirit Ceremony... I can finally broaden my horizons today."

Bai Qi stood at the entrance, his eyes sparkling and his young and handsome face full of excitement.

That’s right, today is the most grand annual martial arts soul awakening ceremony in this martial arts world.

After traveling to this world, Bai Qi also participated in such a grand event for the first time.

The most important thing is that Bai Qi finally knows what martial soul is!

The so-called martial soul is the entry certificate to the martial arts, and also the contract between the warrior and the way of heaven.

Without a martial soul, one is destined to be mediocre all his life and remain an ordinary person forever. You can imagine how important this is.

In the capital, almost all the young nobles and princes gathered here.

This is the moment that determines your fate!
