Chapter 309: Can’t reason with me? I just happen to have some force!
“The spirit of the state!”

“What a great Jia Cong!”

“What a great Marquis Jing’an!”

“What a sincere and wise Marquis Guangwen!”

Seeing that the spirit of Daqian’s country had completely awakened, the crazy monk’s face looked extremely ugly.

He glared at Jia Cong with a ferocious face filled with hatred, completely lacking the compassion of a Buddhist.

“Your Excellency should first consider how to escape.”

Jia Cong chuckled.

He took Daiyu and the other two girls and retreated a distance.

At this moment, the spirit of Daqian’s country has also taken action.

It was the incarnation of the former Great Qian Emperor after his death, and he looked like a general.

The long sword swept across, and a ray of sword light turned into a streak of light and attacked.

It seemed to have no sound, let alone any power.

Yes, it is extremely sharp.

It seemed as if even the space was about to be torn apart by the blade’s light.

It fell into the Silent Buddha Land realm of the Diantou monk, and half of the realm was directly shattered by the sword light.

The shattered Buddha land turned into a terrifying aura of annihilation, mixed with residual sword light, and the stirred realm trembled continuously.

“puff!”

After just a brief fight, the crazy monk who had been showing his might just now vomited a mouthful of blood.

Before the first ray of sword light dissipated, the second ray followed.

“puff!”

Just as silent, just as extremely sharp.

The power was even more terrifying than the first one, leaving the crazy monk no time to react.

Blood spilled on the ground.

This time, the crazy monk grabbed Jia Baoyu’s right hand and soared into the sky.

Finally, it turned into a giant claw more than thirty feet long in the air.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia Cong stretched out his hand and his divine power wrapped Jia Baoyu in front of him.

“The great monk will remember today’s vengeance!”

He glanced hatefully at Jia Cong and the huge spirit of the country not far away.

The crazy monk didn’t care about anything else and quickly turned into a streak of blood and escaped.

But we had only walked a hundred miles.

“what!”

After a scream, another huge turtle’s paw was chopped off by the third blade light emitted by the Spirit of the Country.

……

On the other hand, the situation of the lame Taoist was not much better.

Relying on the brief burst of the red pill, he could reach the late fifth realm, rivaling Wenhou’s Dharma body.

But after all, it is just relying on external things.

As time goes by, strength will inevitably begin to decline.

Seeing that he was about to fall back in realm, the lame Taoist gritted his teeth!

His body shook and a huge centipede appeared in the sky.

It is over two hundred feet long and has a hundred legs.

The insect’s body is shaking and its appearance is ferocious!
“what is this?”

“Hiss! The centipede with 100 feet is covering the sky and blocking out the sun!”

“I read it in a miscellany!”

“When demons cultivate to a certain level, they can transform into human form.”

“This… the one who just fought with you was actually a demon master?”

When the many scholars outside Dongli Academy saw this scene, they were stunned.

Transformation, this is the talent that demons will awaken when they reach the fifth level of cultivation!

The centipede body revealed at this moment is the true form of the lame Taoist.

It turned out to be a rare fifth-level Demon King in the world.

Transform into human form and walk in the world.

“Your red pill is mixed with cause and effect, and is full of the power to confuse the mind.”

“To make a lie come true, that’s quite a feat.”

“It’s a pity that fake is fake after all!”

Wenhou’s Dharma body had an indifferent expression on his face, and just now he seemed to be fighting with the lame Taoist priest.

In fact, he was always paying attention to the situation of Jia Cong’s real body. If there was anything wrong, he would directly kill the crazy monk.

Seeing the spirit of the country revive at this moment, the crazy monk fled far away.

There was no need to hold back any longer, and the majestic literary energy swept across like a tide.

One level was stronger than the last, wrapping the centipede transformed by the lame Taoist in the center.

The medicinal power of the red pill was constantly dissipating, and even if the lame Taoist transformed into his original form, it would be of no use.

The five poisonous insects evolved in the five poisonous fields were destroyed one after another by the golden literary energy.

This is a direct collision in the field!

First, restrict the lame Taoist’s movements and cut off his retreat!
“It is easy to defeat a thief in the mountains, but it is difficult to defeat a thief in one’s heart

“These words are like a sword, cutting off the inner demons and inspiring us to move forward without fear.”

Wenhou’s Dharma body let out a long roar.

The literary energy turned into a sword, and the golden sword fell straight down as if piercing through the sky and earth.

At this moment, it seemed as if the heaven and earth had stood still, and in everyone’s sight, there was only the golden sword shadow formed by the gathering of literary energy and falling from the sky.

Seems slow but is actually fast!

“puff!”

After a muffled sound, a golden sword fell from the sky and pierced through the centipede body manifested by the lame Taoist priest.

In from the beginning, out from the end.

Finally, it was nailed vertically and firmly to the ground, like a huge specimen.

The centipede struggled to move, but in the end, its pupils completely dimmed and it became powerless and motionless.

“Jia Cong, little boy!”

An angry roar sounded from the centipede’s body, and a flash of blood appeared.

Head straight north.

It was the demon soul of the lame Taoist priest. The sword just now not only destroyed the lame Taoist priest’s physical body.

Even the demon soul suffered severe damage.

Without him!

The power of Confucianism is superior to that of martial arts, but weaker than that of Xuanmen.

But it also has its own unique features.

That is to suppress evil and defeat monsters!
At the same level, the lofty literary spirit of Confucian and Taoist monks is a natural nemesis for monsters.

Not to mention that Wenhou’s Dharma body is one level higher than the lame Taoist.

In addition, the red pill that the lame Taoist took had the power to confuse the mind and the complicated power of cause and effect.

First, one confuses one’s own mind, and then initiates cause and effect.

This creates the effect of making the fake become real.

But this confusing power is a double-edged sword, making the lame Taoist’s mind far from clear.

This was why Wenhou’s Dharma body ended the battle so quickly!

No, to be precise, it’s not over yet.

“You are no match for me even when you are in good condition!”

“What’s more, there is only the demon soul left now!”

“All the ways are based on one heart!”

Seeing that the demon soul of the lame Taoist was about to escape, Wenhou’s Dharma body stretched out his hand.

The literary energy surged again and turned into a long river.

Be it confused mind or lost mind!
Ultimately, it comes down to tapping into the power of the soul.

Within the fifth realm, who can rival the Dharmakāya of Wenhou, who incarnated according to the rules of Confucianism and Taoism and pioneered the “Learning of Mind” here?

In the perception of the lame Taoist demon soul, there is literary energy everywhere.

There is no escape, no avoidance!

The only way is to fight and collide with all your might and try to carve out a way to survive.

But in the eyes of many scholars outside Dongli Academy.

The demon soul transformed by the lame Taoist priest had long been suppressed by Wenhou’s Dharma body, and it didn’t even know it was difficult to escape.

At this point, the dust has finally settled!
“Hiss! Is this the end?”

“The fifth realm was shaking, but it was suppressed so easily by Sir?”

“The power of the School of Mind is so terrifying!” “Today, with the guidance of the teacher, I have broken through the realm of a great scholar. I will enter Dongli Academy to teach and serve the teacher!”

At this moment, the demon soul of the lame Taoist has become the best publicity for Wenhou’s Dharma body.

The power of psychology is demonstrated vividly.

Although it is terrible to kill a fifth-level being…

But it is far worse than suppressing it clearly but the other party is unaware of it.

He thought he still had a chance of survival, but he kept struggling and was tormented like this. It was horrifying.

That is the fifth realm existence that is above the secular world!
Nowadays, the Fifth Realm frequently appears in battles, and the imperial court has not deliberately blocked the news.

The Daqian territory is far from the state it was a few years ago when the fourth realm was just a legend.

Especially for the top families in various places, Jia Cong’s military achievements are no longer a secret.

But this does not mean that the value of fourth-level or even fifth-level strongmen has decreased in the eyes of others.

How could a family in the clan, which only has a third-level worshipper at most, dare to have such thoughts?

……

After the lame Taoist was suppressed, the spirit of the country fell into sleep again.

Wenhou’s Dharma body stretched out his hand and pointed.

The suppressed demon soul of the lame Taoist priest and the real body of the centipede fell into the divine seal of Jia Cong’s real body.

The Demon King’s true form is extremely rare.

Refining treasures, refining medicine and even refining puppets all require top-level materials!
It is no exaggeration to say that there are treasures everywhere!
As for the two giant turtle paws left by the crazy monk, they were not taken.

Since it was beheaded by the spirit of the country, Jia Cong simply left it to the royal family.

After doing all this, Wenhou’s Dharma body quietly returned to the sky above Dongli Academy where he had just given the lecture.

At this time, the Mohist disciple who had asked the question was still standing stiffly in the same place.

“You asked me before, how can I convince you?”

“If I can’t explain the truth to you, I just happen to have a little bit of martial arts skills!”

When the indifferent gaze of Wenhou’s Dharma body swept over him, the Mohist disciple instantly felt his hands and feet go cold, and he couldn’t help shaking.

Before coming, he disrupted Wenhou Fashen’s lectures for the glory of Mohism.

The disciples of the Mohist School had already prepared themselves for the fact that they would not be able to leave alive today.

But after all, they are not warriors who have been raised since childhood, and warriors with rigid thinking cannot enter the realm of Confucian and Taoist practice.

When this moment is about to come, I realize how terrifying it is to face death.

I even thought of…

This semi-saint in front of him, no matter how gentle he had behaved before.

That was also the Dharma body that was cut out by Marquis Jing’an, the world-famous god of killing!
……

“well said!”

“Hahaha, it makes people happy!”

“Teacher is worthy of being the founder of the School of Mind. Everything is done by the heart, without going beyond the rules. This is the true meaning of Confucianism!”

“If reason doesn’t work, there’s still a little bit of force.”

“I can pacify the world with my writing, and I can rule the world with my martial arts. This is the true essence of my Confucianism.”

“It’s a pity that few people are proficient in the six arts of a gentleman in the past.”

In contrast, many scholars and scholars could not help but cheer and exclaim.

Scholarly spirit!

After all, isn’t it a kind of blood?

It’s just that the doctrine of “preserving heaven’s principles and eliminating human desires” has suppressed human nature for too long.

Wenhou’s Dharma body no longer paid any attention to the frightened Mohist disciple.

Just an ant.

Today’s lecture is called a lecture.

In fact, Jia Cong only has one goal he really wants to achieve.

The purpose is to let all the scholars in the world understand two things!

Dongli Academy is the best academy in the world!

Among the hundreds of Confucian and Taoist schools, the School of Mind is the theory that best fits the practice of Confucianism and Taoism.

As for the outcome of the debate, is it important?

Face the benefits that psychology can bring.

Who cares about the subtle difference between persuasion by reason and persuasion by force?
From today onwards, it is only a matter of time before the School of Mind develops into the undisputed first school among the hundreds of Confucian and Taoist schools.

……

“Dongli Academy intends to set up county schools, prefectural schools, and provincial schools throughout the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Daqian!”

“Promote education!”

“If you are interested, you can come to the academy to teach!”

“Every five years during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will give public lectures here!”

Looking down at the more than 300,000 scholars below, the clear voice of Wenhou’s Dharma body echoed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

Only many excited scholars were left.

“A Semi-Saint lecture is given once every five years. Sir, please be merciful!”

“Today, I have been enlightened and guided by you, sir. I deserve to be a teacher at Dongli Academy!”

“I went through a lot of hardships when I was studying in the past, and today I should also provide a bright future for the poor scholars in the world.”

“Brother Chengfeng, don’t hesitate.”

“Nan Kong has announced that it will send five great scholars and fifty great scholars to teach at Dongli Academy.”

“Counting the great scholars who have long joined the Academy, such as the Legalists, Gongshu School, and the Medical Saint Family,

“Now, great scholars from Dongli Academy can be stationed in provincial schools, and great scholars can be stationed in prefectural schools.”

“The number of great scholars who have broken through in the past few years is far greater than before.”

“You and I have the chance to meet today as the great scholar of the Jin Dynasty. If we hesitate any longer, when Dongli Academy continues to develop, I’m afraid there will be no place for us in the government school.”

“Brother Yu is absolutely right. I will go to the academy to register in a moment!”

……

Once every five years, the Semi-Saint gives public lectures.

This alone is enough to make many scholars and intellectuals crazy and grateful.

Not to mention that there are many newly-emerged great scholars in the crowd who have received the kindness of Wenhou’s Dharma body.

Dongli Academy is also well-known for its generous treatment.

Various factors add up.

Except for those who are really unable to spare, there are today’s new great scholars.

The vast majority chose to join Dongli Academy to teach.

These people are different from Nan Kong, Legalists, Mohists and Nanyang Zhang family.

To break through the state of mind through sudden enlightenment through the study of the mind, this is what truly belongs to Jia Cong, a disciple of the study of the mind.

……

After Wenhou Fashen’s lecture was finished, Emperor Shunde left first.

The vast majority of the remaining scholars chose to exchange ideas with each other outside the academy.

Strike while the iron is hot.

It was not until the next day when the sky brightened that they said goodbye to each other reluctantly.

We agreed to meet during the Mid-Autumn Festival five years later.

No one noticed that Jia Cong’s real body had already left with Baochai and others.

……

outside the city
Qingxuguan

This is one of the most popular Taoist temples outside the city of Shenjing.

Speaking of which, it is also closely related to the Jia family.

The abbot of the temple is named Zhang. He became a monk since he was young to ward off disasters for his predecessor, Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rong.

He was originally an ordinary little Taoist priest, but unexpectedly he showed an extraordinary talent in Xuanmen spiritual cultivation.

Jia Daishan gave him a book of Taoist skills that he had collected.

After decades of practice, he barely broke through to the third realm.

He was once conferred the title of “Great Illusionary True Man” by Emperor Kaiyuan and enjoyed considerable fame in the Shenjing City.

To be honest, after Jia Daishan passed away, this Taoist priest was the strongest master in Rongguo Mansion.

It was just when Jia Cong arrived today.

The Qingxu Temple, which was once a popular place with dozens of Taoist priests of all sizes, was now completely silent, with no sign of human habitation.

The gate of the temple opened, and Taoist Zhang, who had white hair and looked very old, walked out of the gate.

“My humble servant greets the Marquis!”

“You are quite courageous. You knew I was coming, yet you still dared to stay.”

Jia Cong had a searching expression.
