The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Without the monsters chasing them, everyone returned smoothly along the way and left the forest.

It was afternoon at this moment, the sun was shining, there were grass and rivers ahead, the whole world became unusually open, and the depression accumulated in the small space of the forest was completely released.

"It's better outside, it's comfortable to look at."

"The forest is only suitable for playing, if you stay for a long time, you will die."

"Let's go, go back to Lujia Town, then go back to Mi County to stay overnight, and go back to Dayuan Prefecture tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Everyone was excited and their steps were much lighter.

The soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the past, when killing monsters, monsters often appeared suddenly. The first to die or be injured were always the soldiers, and then the scholars. So although they were loyal to their duties all the way, even with Nunu, they still had some resistance in their hearts, but now everything was over.

Not long after, everyone saw Lujia Town from a distance, and the three scholars with the best eyesight looked gloomy.

The outside of Lujia Town was full of fish monster corpses lying in all directions.

The town of Lujia was in ruins. The low walls outside the town collapsed everywhere, and many houses were razed to the ground, as if they had experienced a flood. Some houses in the distance seemed to be on fire. The fire had gone out, but there was still light smoke. Many people could be seen busy.

"Slow down and get ready to kill the monsters."

Everyone hurriedly began to prepare for battle, drawing swords, holding guns, and taking arrows. The scholars also put down their clothes and dipped their pens in ink.

Nunu stood upright on Fang Yun's shoulder and looked out, then said in a very normal voice: "Yingying, Yingying."

Fang Yun asked: "You said there are no monsters?"

"Yingying!" Nunu nodded.

Without waiting for the scholar to give orders, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They now unconditionally believed in Fang Yun and Nunu.

"Let's go and see what's going on! Don't be happy too early. If there are monsters attacking, we can't leave, otherwise we will be deserters."

Everyone became nervous again when they heard it. No one complained, but the atmosphere of the team was not good.

These people have been killing monsters continuously, and they are exhausted.

The three scholars frowned when they met each other. If the monsters suddenly appeared, the morale of the team would collapse immediately.

Mr. Wang said: "No one likes to risk their lives to kill monsters. You don't like it, and I don't like it either. Even the Lord of the Court once told us that if he could choose, he would rather read the books of sages and drink tea and watch the moon every day, but he can't! We can't either! The monsters want to raise humans as food, and the barbarians want to occupy our beautiful rivers and mountains. If we are romantic, we will eventually become slaves of the monsters and barbarians!"

"Back then, the monster saints found it difficult to leave the monster world, so our tribe had a chance to breathe. Later, the battle of Muye outside Chaoge City was not at all It was not a war between Shang and Zhou, but a war between the human race and the demons and barbarians! King Wen knew that humans and demons and barbarians could never coexist. It was an eternal feud that could only end when one side was completely exterminated! "

"We scholars are the last line of defense for the Shengyuan Continent and hundreds of millions of human beings. Our will and our strength are the last bastion of the human race. If we dare not fight, the human race will be destroyed!"

"Are you willing to be kept in a pen, slaughtered, and served on the table like that pig?"

"No!" Several students whispered.

"Are you willing to watch your relatives, friends, wives, and daughters become the playthings of the demons and barbarians?" Mr. Wang asked again.

"No!" More people said this time.

"Are you willing to hand over the human land paved with the bones of your predecessors?"

"No!" Many people said loudly.

"Then, use the power given to us by Wenquxing and the saints to kill these monsters, so that our families and descendants can live in peace! Even if we become dry bones! This land belongs to our human race, and no one can take it away! As long as the human race is not destroyed, the righteousness will last forever!"

Everyone was inspired by Mr. Wang's words. This was not the incitement of war poems, but the power that hit the heart directly!

"As long as the human race is not destroyed, the righteousness will last forever!"

Everyone roared, and the original war-weariness disappeared completely. They wanted to catch the monsters who destroyed the town.

When everyone arrived in the town, the mayor and some people came to greet them.

"What's going on?" Mr. Wang asked.

The mayor's eyes were red, and he tried to suppress his grief and said, "I don't know what happened. An hour ago, a large number of demons rushed over, led by a turtle demon as big as a house. Then a big snake came out, and the two sides started fighting. The demon turtle knew magic and sprayed a lot of water to flood half of the village. Other demons also knew magic, some of them poisoned and some set fires. We just counted them, and more than 40 people died in the town, and more than 30 people were missing, probably kidnapped and eaten by the demons."

"How did they leave?"

"That turtle demon is very powerful, and the snake demon can't beat it at all , but was injured by the turtle demon and other demons, and finally the snake demon had to escape. Those demons seemed to value the snake demon very much, and they didn't care about us, chasing the snake demon and killing it. "

"Have you asked the magistrate of Mi County for help?"

"I tore two official seals and red documents in succession. The nearby government troops should be here soon."

"Do those demons have demon commanders?"

"I don't understand demon language, Chengcai, you understand demon language, answer the words of the Juren master."

The student An Chengcai, who had met before, came over. He was much thinner than the previous few days, and his eyes were a little gloomy. He didn't look like a newly married young man at all.

The mayor sighed and said, "His beautiful wife can't be found. It seems that she was captured by the demons, but she may also be hiding somewhere. Chengcai, tell me what happened. "

An Chengcai bowed to everyone and said, "My Lords, the words of those monsters are very confusing. I can't repeat them one by one, but I can guess the general situation. The snake monster seems to have stolen something, and the people of the Yangtze River Jiaolong Palace sent a turtle monster to kill the snake monster. The snake monster called the turtle monster a demon general, but the turtle monster is much more powerful than ordinary demon generals. The snake monster easily killed three ordinary demon generals, but it couldn't beat the turtle monster at all."

The three scholars and a few scholars changed their expressions.

"Is there a protrusion on the head of the turtle monster, as if it is about to grow horns?"

"Yes! Is it a dragon turtle?"

"It can't be a dragon turtle. The dragon turtle is also a dragon species, on par with the Jiaolong. The demon turtle is very likely to have dragon blood and belong to the pseudo-dragon family, otherwise it can't be so powerful. What about the snake monster?"

"I'm not sure about this." An Chengcai lowered his head and thought hard, as if trying to recall something.

Mr. Wang asked again: "Does that snake demon have a red flesh crown on its head and black and red patterns on its body?"

The mayor immediately shook his head and said: "No! The big snake demon has nothing on its head, its body is green, it is a big green snake, very scary, especially when it opens its mouth, it scares me to death. But the big green snake seems to be good, it didn't hurt anyone intentionally, but the demon turtle is a piece of shit, it killed a lot of us. Even Mr. Yang doesn't know if it was captured by the demon tribe."

An Chengcai suddenly clenched his fists and lowered his head even lower.

Nu Nu looked at An Chengcai suspiciously, sniffed lightly, and his eyes fell on An Chengcai's chest, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Besides those demon generals, how many other demon soldiers are there?"

"At least five or six hundred, mostly fish demons, but more than two hundred were killed by the snake demon. The bodies are outside, you can count them."

Mr. Wang sighed and said, "Then we will stay here for the time being and wait for the government troops to come. Whether to leave, stay or fight, we will decide after the government troops arrive. Don't be idle, help the people in the town."

So everyone began to help the people in the town clean up the destroyed places.

Soon, more than thirty armored ox carts drove from afar, forming a billowing smoke and dust.

The leader was an armored ox chariot, which was also pulled by two armored oxen, but the two armored oxen were covered with iron armor, and the cart behind was also very small, with only three people standing on it, one driving the car, one was a general in armor, and one was He County Magistrate of Mi County.

Everyone immediately went to meet it, and the armored ox cart gradually slowed down. The general jumped off the armored ox chariot. His face was not blocked by the helmet. Fang Yun did not recognize him, but many people around him recognized him.

"General Chen!" Everyone saluted.

Fang Yun immediately guessed that this person should be General Chen Xibi of Dayuan Prefecture, a fifth-rank official.

County Magistrate He and Chen Xibi were both Jinshi, but one was elegant and the other was rough.

"What's going on?" Chen Xibi asked, scanning everyone.

Mr. Wang immediately reported what happened.

"Who is Fang Yun?"

"It's me," Fang Yun said as he stepped forward.

Chen Xibi looked at Fang Yun and nodded, then said to everyone: "Since they are two demon generals, there is no need to alarm the Lord of the Academy. The great scholars of Jingguo are all in the Holy Academy and have not returned yet. Lord of the Academy must stay in Yuhai City to prevent the sea clan from attacking. I will leave two hundred palace soldiers to guard here, and everyone else must follow me to hunt down those demons to prevent them from killing more people."

Chen Xibi paused, glanced at everyone in the State Academy of Literature, and said: "You are temporarily recruited as palace soldiers! Follow me to kill the demons!"

Mr. Wang glanced at Fang Yun and said to Chen Xibi: "Sir, we just killed a demon general and our talents have not recovered yet. Especially Fang Yun, who has just become a Saint-Pre Scholar and is not very useful. It is better to let Fang Yun return to the State Academy of Literature and let us follow you to kill the demons."

The people nearby were shocked. This Saint-Pre Scholar is even rarer than the Saint-Pre Tongsheng. There is only one in a hundred years, and the Saint-Pre Scholar is the current limit. Except for Confucius' direct disciples, no one can become a Saint-Pre Juren.

The status of a scholar before the Holy Emperor is higher than that of an ordinary scholar, almost close to that of a Jinshi.

An Chengcai stared straight at Fang Yun, his eyes full of shock.

But Nunu still stared at An Chengcai.

A flash of surprise flashed across Chen Xibi's eyes, and then he asked Fang Yun: "Are you seriously injured?"

"No."

"Can't you draw a bow or hold a sword?"

"Yes."

"Then follow me! What kind of man is he if he doesn't experience the battlefield of life and death! I have a 'Mountain Inkstone' to lend you first. If you encounter danger, inject your talent into it and trigger the power of "Mountain Fu" to protect yourself! You will not die before I die in battle!" Chen Xibi said and threw the Mountain Inkstone to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, General Chen."

Chen Xibi smiled slightly and said, "The future of Jingguo depends on you, but you have to listen to me now!"

Everyone laughed.

"Let's go!" Chen Xibi was unusually straightforward.

The student An Chengcai suddenly shouted: "General, my wife may have been abducted and killed by the demon tribe. As a scholar, I must avenge this! I am proficient in archery, often go hunting, and have worked with the townspeople to kill demons. Please allow me to join the army."

"Okay! Get in the car!"
