Book of Disaster

"The power of righteousness?"

Bai Qi was stunned.

"Your own strength, how did you defeat the black dragon? Don't you know it yourself?"

Zhu Zidao’s words are plain, neither light nor heavy, but they are like a revelation, a wake-up call.

Bai Qi trembled all over, a current surged through his body, and he suddenly understood, blurting out:

"Teacher, what do you mean..."

Zhu Zi nodded. Looking at Bai Qi's expression, he was obviously still confused about his own strength, but Zhu Zi was not surprised.

The power of correct argument has not appeared for a long time. At this moment, Zhu Zi briefly talked about the power of correct argument.

"The world has gone through catastrophes, and all the ways have collapsed. This is no longer the era we were in before. All the ways are in chaos, including the power of the principles of heaven and earth."

"Mencius, the second sage, once said, 'Heaven sees as the people see, Heaven hears as the people hear. Heaven's will is the will of the people. The power of righteousness is the righteousness and justice of heaven and earth. Today, martial arts are flourishing, the three realms are sinking into killing, the strong are respected, and no one cares about the righteousness and justice of heaven and earth."

"However, I didn't expect that in recent times, I actually saw a glimmer of hope for the great truth in you. Perhaps in the future, you will be able to realize the world of great harmony that we Confucians and Taoists have hoped for for generations!"

Zhu Zi sighed.

Facing the Dragon Emperor, the reason why he was unwilling to kill him was because there were already enough people in this world who were addicted to killing.

As the leader of Confucianism and Taoism, if we cannot keep our original intentions and join in, I am afraid that the world will fall, people's hearts will be lost, and there will really be no hope at all.

"A world of great harmony!"

Hearing Zhu Zi's words, Bai Qi felt heavy in his heart.

He was also in a daze when he killed the black dragon. The only thing in his mind was to kill the beast and avenge his dead companions. He didn't know anything else.

Now, Zhu Xi said that the righteous way of heaven and earth and the hope of human ethics and morals rest in him. The weight of these words is so heavy.

No matter how confident Bai Qi was, he didn't dare to respond casually.

After all, this is a wish that even the great sage Confucius has not fulfilled.

"But teacher, I..."

However, Bai Qi frowned, was silent for a moment, and was about to speak.

But Zhu Zi seemed to know what he was thinking and waved at him.

"Your path is different from anyone else's, even from the Confucian and Taoist saints of all ages, including me. No one can guide you. Even I only have a vague understanding of the power of righteousness. There is no relevant record in the ancient Confucian and Taoist books. You can only rely on yourself to explore everything."

"After all..., you are the first person to touch it, and you are also the person who has been closest to it."

Zhu Zi paused, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"But you don't have to lose heart. The Dao has responded to you. Sooner or later you will get the answer you want and completely master the power of truth. It's just that the road ahead will be bumpy, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

Bai Qi said sincerely.

"Well, it's time for me to leave. Your potential is unmatched. Remember, never give up your beliefs. This will be the biggest help in your future."

After saying this, Zhu Zi also turned around and stepped into the void.

Countless golden characters densely packed like a waterfall burst out from under his feet. With a flash of light, Zhu Zi only said the word "escape", and soon his words came into being and he disappeared without a trace.

"Wow!"

As soon as Zhu Zi left, Zhou Yixian, Zhang Chi and Xu Xuansu all rushed over.

Especially Zhou Yixian, with an exaggerated expression and a look of amazement, he squeezed to Bai Qi's side with his hands and feet waving.

"Even Zhu Zi praised you, and said that you have obtained the power of righteousness. Bai Qi, you are so awesome! By the way, what exactly is the power of righteousness? Show us how to use it!"

"Quick, quick!"

Zhou Yixian kept urging, with an excited look on his face, and the word "curious baby" seemed to be written all over his eyes.

It's really frustrating!

In fact, they only saw Bai Qi almost being beaten to death by the Black Dragon. Afterwards, they only noticed that Bai Qi's small universe exploded, and his strength suddenly increased greatly. Then he beat the Black Dragon violently, directly reversing the situation and killing it.

And all of these are not as good as the four words Zhu Xi said, "the power of correct argument."

In fact, not to mention Zhou Yixian, even Xu Xuansu unconsciously came over and looked attentively.

She also wanted to know what this power of righteousness was and how Bai Qi killed the black dragon.

However, unexpectedly, facing everyone's expectant gazes, Bai Qi smiled bitterly and spread his hands:

"Don't ask me, I don't know either, and now... I can't show it at all."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them screamed in shock. They were all stunned. They stared at Bai Qi with wide eyes in disbelief.

How could such a thing happen?

"Haven't you noticed yet?"

Bai Qi sighed:

"Ever since I killed the black dragon, that power has disappeared from my body. Didn't you notice that when the Dragon Emperor appeared, I didn't use that power at all?"

"!!!"

When these words were spoken, the three people were shocked and looked at each other in astonishment. They were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment.

This answer was really unexpected.

"Master, what's going on? Power doesn't come out of nowhere, nor does it disappear. It doesn't make sense that the power disappeared after you killed the black dragon."

Finally, Zhang Chi, the calmest among the three, frowned and asked.

He always felt that there was something fishy going on.

Bai Qi did not hide anything and roughly recounted what happened at that time.

However, after he finished speaking, the three of them were even more confused than before. Bai Qi's words were so confusing that it was as if he had said nothing.

"So you got this power inexplicably, and then lost it inexplicably? You don't even know the whole process?"

Zhang Chi concluded tentatively.

"That's about it. And after I killed the black dragon, I realized something was wrong."

As Bai Qi spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, leaving a golden mark on his fair arm.

Zhou Yixian, Zhang Chi and Xu Xuansu came forward and saw that the mark was only about an inch in size, but its shape was extremely complex, like a miniature mysterious totem.

The mark is composed of countless tiny lines and symbols interwoven together, some of which look like ancient characters, while others appear to be some profound geometric shapes. Together, they form a complete pattern.

This golden mark emits a faint glow, as if it was coated with a layer of gold by the afterglow of the setting sun.

The light is not dazzling, but rather has a gentle and peaceful feeling, making people feel peaceful at first glance.
