Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing
Chapter 295 The God of Confucianism and Taoism, 5th rank: Marquis Guangwen of the Sincere and Enligh
Chapter 295 The God of Confucianism and Taoism, the fifth rank: Marquis Guangwen of the Sincere and Enlightened Mind!
On Jia Cong’s side, after the shadow of Confucius, who embodied the Confucian and Taoist rules, disappeared.
A barely perceptible stream of light sank into the body.
In an instant, my mind exploded, and countless images seemed to emerge.
All the philosophers and ancient sages!
To foster rules is the grand goal set by hundreds of sages.
Slowly transform the heaven and earth with the rules of Confucianism and Taoism, and finally make Confucianism and Taoism the most sacred among the many wonderful methods between heaven and earth!
The Kong family used the corpse of Confucius as a medium and through secret worship rules, they wanted to master some of the acquired Confucian and Taoist rules.
Then slowly devour and refine it!
Finally, completely control the Confucian and Taoist rules nurtured by the environment!
It is equivalent to holding the authority of heaven and earth.
Fundamentally speaking, it is also a way to steal the power of gods by finding alternative means.
However, now all the planning of countless years has become Jia Cong’s wedding dress.
Some of the Confucian and Taoist rules in the body account for about 20% of the Confucian and Taoist rules that have not yet been successfully nurtured!
In addition, the power of incense was refined into it by the Kong family.
Jia Cong’s refining speed is extremely fast.
But don’t underestimate these two percent of Confucian and Taoist rules.
On the road of cultivation in the fifth realm, all major systems have reached the same destination, and can be roughly divided into four stages: emptiness, illusion, soul accumulation, and reality!
When reaching the peak of the fifth realm, the domain begins to become real!
When one day the domain solidifies and becomes substantial, it will break through to the sixth realm.
And only when one reaches the sixth realm does one begin to gradually come into contact with and comprehend the power of rules!
This is also the symbol of the sixth realm!
Even the sixth realm is far from being able to master the rules!
It’s like a breakthrough from zero to one, from nothing to something!
After obtaining 20% of the share of Confucian and Taoist rules, Jia Cong can continue to erode the share as the Kong family planned, as time goes by.
Sooner or later, one day he would thoroughly master the rules of Confucianism and Taoism, and make the countless years of hard work of the hundreds of Confucian and Taoist schools his own.
Let’s not talk about the distant benefits for now, and just talk about the immediate ones!
Relying on these 20% of Confucian and Taoist rules, many Confucian and Taoist magical powers in the future will be reduced by 20% in front of Jia Cong.
Jia Cong can also unleash a fifth-level peak reality attack after consuming all his divine power.
But the same problem appeared before Jia Cong.
It is the choice of the road!
One is to gain temporary benefits.
Although seclusion and continued erosion of control over Confucian and Taoist rules can allow Jia Cong’s strength to soar in the next few decades!
There is a slight possibility of the sixth realm or even the seventh realm which only exists in legends.
But it will inevitably tie up a lot of Jia Cong’s energy and affect the speed of his divine way improvement.
Even the large-scale arrangements that had been made in Daqian and the southern expedition strategy had to be temporarily stopped.
One is to seek long-term interests.
Continue to upgrade the Shinto according to the previous arrangement.
Although the speed of improvement in a short period of time is not as good as directly refining and mastering the Confucian and Taoist rules.
But in the long run.
Shinto is mysterious and all-encompassing!
According to Jia Cong’s calculations, if he could reach the third rank of divine position.
That is far beyond the control of a single Confucian or Taoist rule.
The most important thing is…
The great struggle that we heard from the Gexian Sect and the people of Wuyi Mountain!
It was deduced by the top masters of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism in the pre-Qin period using supreme means.
During this hundred years, there was a great era of cultivation where many outstanding people emerged, and during this era, an unparalleled opportunity was born.
If you get it, it will be enough to change the world.
During these ten years, Daqian seemed to be calm.
In fact, things were already turbulent behind the scenes.
The talents and numbers of disciples recruited by the major sects of Xuanmen are far superior than before.
Jia Cong also ordered his ghosts and gods to investigate secretly.
Take the third realm as an example!
Even if it is an incomplete statistics, the number of masters who have broken through to the third level in the past ten years is three times more than that of the previous ten years!
And this is just the beginning of a glorious era!
From this we can see how precious this great opportunity is!
If not, Jia Cong’s best choice would definitely be to retreat into seclusion first to refine and master the Confucian and Taoist rules, and then sharpen the knife before chopping wood.
Directly promote Shinto with powerful strength.
……
While thinking about it, he refined 20% of the Confucian and Taoist rules.
In the space of the Shinto seal, a divine duty slowly condensed!
Priesthood, the duty of God!
Received a command from heaven, it is the responsibility to guard an area, protect all living things, and maintain the operation of heaven and earth.
In the final analysis, it is the embodiment of the imperceptible authority of the rules of heaven and earth.
After Jia Cong refined 20% of the Confucian and Taoist rules by chance.
A new priesthood was also born.
There is a line of golden seal characters on it.
[Fifth rank: Sincere and clear-minded Guangwen Hou! ]
“Sincerity enlightens the mind…Sincerity enlightens the mind…” Jia Cong sensed the divine duty in the Shinto seal.
I just felt a flash of inspiration in my mind.
I couldn’t help but think of the voice that rang in my ears before the shadow of Confucius disappeared.
“Knowledge and action come together…color!”
“Unify knowledge and action…”
After murmuring twice, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Jia Cong’s mind!
No more hesitation!
Follow your heart.
Eyes opened suddenly.
“Sister Bao, Sister Miaoyu, Sister Lin, protect me!”
Time was running out and there was no time to explain, so Jia Cong just greeted them.
Daiyu and the other two heard what Jia Cong was going to do.
But he still immediately teamed up with Medicine Spirit Goddess and Demon Slayer.
There are also fifteen fourth-level ghost generals under Jia Cong’s command scattered around Jia Cong.
Sit cross-legged and release all your senses to ensure that you can launch a thundering attack at the first sign of any disturbance.
The two immortals Ge Yan and Ge Yuan from the Gexian Sect and the martial arts immortal Liu Yashan from the royal family guessed that Jia Cong had obtained an opportunity from the question asked by Confucius just now.
Seeing this, he quietly moved away from Jia Cong and helped to guard and protect the group outside Baochai.
……
On Jia Cong’s side, the mighty divine power swept in all directions, the wind and clouds were turbulent, and the sky and the earth changed color!
The terrifying divine power finally manifested itself into a precious sword!
The sword was strangely pointed at Jia Cong himself!
“cut!”
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Jia Cong gently uttered a word.
The long knife fell and pierced through Jia Cong’s body.
Cut off a ray of precious light.
It is exactly the divine image of Jia Cong!
Previously, the shadow of Confucius was just the manifestation of Confucian and Taoist rules. Logically speaking, the rules should be emotionless.
But at the last moment, a faint voice was left behind that only Jia Cong himself could hear.
When the rules are broken, something must be wrong!
Moreover, the Confucian and Taoist rules were acquired and were manipulated by the Kong family.
Before completely mastering it, even the innate gods do not know its specific situation.
I don’t even know whether it contains opportunities or disasters.
You have to know that during the heyday of the Hundred Schools of Thought, there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, countless masters, and countless cunning tricks.
Be calm, cautious and careful!
This happens to be one of the important factors that enabled the innate gods to develop Shinto to its current glory in a short period of time.
So to be on the safe side, Jia Cong referred to his experiences in his previous life and came up with a solution that would have the best of both worlds.
Incarnate outside!
The soul of the innate gods is one and the same, and cannot be separated.
So he simply used his divine power to evolve a treasure and directly cut out his own divine image.
The Dharmakāya and its body are the inside and outside of each other, so even if they are cut out, there will be no effect.
It’s just that he won’t be able to show his Shinto image to others in the future, and Jia Cong didn’t have much use for the Shinto image originally.
After the Dharma image was cut out, it turned into a vague and majestic figure.
Jia Cong stretched out his hand!
The 20% of Confucian and Taoist rules in his body and the fifth-rank divine office [Sincere and Bright-hearted Guangwen Hou] all flew out and merged into the Dharma image. Then a large amount of divine power surged out to help the three merge.
Just as Jia Cong had expected, the baby was born with divine power.
The Shinto Dharma, the fifth-rank priesthood, and 20% of the Confucian and Taoist rules merged rapidly.
Gradually, a beautiful figure emerged.
……
“The method of Xuanchi?”
“Marquis Jing’an killed his own Yang God and gave birth to an avatar?”
“This this……”
“With such talent, he still wants to kill his own Sun God. How foolish of you, Lord Marquis!”
In the distance, the knowledgeable Ge Yan Zhenren saw this scene and was immediately dumbfounded.
The Xuanmen tradition has a long history, and a large number of wonderful methods have been developed over countless years.
There is also a method of incarnation outside of the body!
It means “The Valley Spirit is immortal, it is called the Mysterious Female. The gate of the Mysterious Female is the root of heaven and earth, it exists continuously and is used without exhaustion.”
It’s called the Xuan Chi method!
After reaching the fifth level of cultivation, the Yang Spirit is stable and one can then cut off the Yang Spirit, fuse it with some natural treasure, and give birth to an incarnation.
It’s just that the strength of the clone is closely related to the strength of the Yang God that was separated from it.
The severed Yang Spirit is missing, and the incarnation is too weak to be effective.
The more yang spirits are severed, the greater the loss of the body’s vitality, and there is even the worry of falling to a lower realm, which is also not worth the loss.
Therefore, this once popular method has long been practiced by few people.
Now seeing Jia Cong giving birth to his incarnation, one can imagine the anxiety and regret in Master Ge Yan’s heart.
……
Jia Cong had no idea what Master Ge Yan was thinking, and he was concentrating on using his divine power to nurture his incarnation.
Finally after more than half an hour.
“boom!”
The incarnation took shape, and golden literary energy rose into the sky.
He looks 70% similar to Jia Cong, with a thin figure and wearing a moon-white Confucian robe. He exudes an air of poetry, literature and elegance.
At this moment, Jia Cong had a mysterious feeling in his heart.
The incarnation and the original body are the same person, but they have independent thinking.
Jia Cong did not need to deliberately divide his mind to control it. It was more like the Taoist method of beheading the three corpses in Jia Cong’s previous life.
Different from Jia Cong himself and the current priests who have been conferred, they all belong to the category of earth gods.
The incarnation of Shintoism who controls 20% of the Confucian and Taoist rules [Sincere and Enlightened Heart Guangwen Hou] can be said to be the god of Confucianism and Taoism.
The manifestation of divine power is completely literary.
His strength has even reached the late fifth realm!
This is because the incarnation was cut out by Jia Cong’s Shintoism and is not a complete deity.
This caused the strength of the fifth-grade priest, who was originally at the peak of the fifth realm, to drop one level.
But the good thing is that Jia Cong’s original body can now concentrate on developing Shintoism, while his incarnation will try to erode and refine more Confucian and Taoist rules.
Even if other hidden dangers are discovered in the Confucian and Taoist rules, it would only be the loss of an incarnation.
It has no impact on Jia Cong himself.
Moreover, with the mastery of Confucian and Taoist rules, the incarnation’s clergy rank can be continuously improved without the restriction of incense.
“I am the Marquis of Guangwen, who is sincere and clear-minded!”
“During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will teach the School of Mind at the Dongli Academy outside the capital city of Shenjing. Students from all over the world are welcome to come and listen!”
The incarnation appeared in the world, inspiring literary spirit, and his clear voice spread over thousands of miles.
“Late stage of semi-saint, soul-enriching realm!”
“How could the incarnation killed by Marquis Jing’an be stronger than his original body!”
Feeling the terrifying literary aura, Ge Yan, the founder of the Gexian School who was in the middle stage of Yangshen, who had just been expressing regret, suddenly lost his composure and blurted out!
The Xuan Chi method was once very popular, and many powerful Yang Shen masters in the fifth realm had practiced it.
But no one has ever been able to create an incarnation that is stronger than himself.
Jia Cong himself is only at the early fifth realm, but the strength of this incarnation has reached the late fifth realm!
It completely overturned Ge Yan’s cognition!
You must know that with the current limitations of heaven and earth, the highest realm that cultivators can reach is only the late fifth realm!
All of them are like the mainstay of each of the top-notch forces.
He stays in the sect and won’t take action easily.
……
“A half-saint giving a public lecture?”
“Marquis Jing’an Gaoyi!”
“Since Zhu Sheng’s Neo-Confucianism, no new doctrine has emerged in Confucianism for many years.”
“Don’t miss the Mid-Autumn Festival at Dongli Academy!”
At this time, many scholars outside Confucius Forest were also excited.
A semi-saint giving public lectures is a grand event that has not happened in hundreds of years.
Not to mention the great scholars, even the fourth-level scholars would find it difficult to resist this temptation.
All the students who heard this sound were excited.
……
“Thank you three for protecting me!”
After building momentum for Dongli Academy, Jia Cong came to Ge Yan, Ge Yuan and Liu Yashan and nodded in thanks.
“Your Excellency, there is no need to be polite. This is what we should do.”
“It’s the Marquis…”
“To be able to kill the Yunling Realm incarnation with the strength of the Kongming Realm, this really opened my eyes today.”
Ge Yan’s face was full of emotion and admiration, and he answered sincerely.
Jia Cong knew that he mistakenly thought that he was the incarnation of his own Yang Shen, and did not explain further.
Just take it as the default.
“It’s just a little chance, not worth mentioning.”
“Master, please wait a moment. We still have some things to deal with here.”
After saying this, the incarnation of Wenhou standing in the sky stretched out his hand and pointed at Kong Lin.
After learning from Confucius, he refined 20% of the Confucian and Taoist rules that originally belonged to the Kong family.
The mysterious power that permeated the Confucius Forest was no longer an obstacle to the incarnation of Wenhou.
Just a thought and a channel was opened.
It revealed a scene of Confucius Forest that few people had ever seen.
Tombstones and graves are all burial places of the ancestors of the Kong family.
In the very center of the Confucius Forest stands an ordinary-looking tomb.
It is the tomb of the great sage Confucius, but now it has become an empty tomb.
The most crucial thing is that there is the Kong family, headed by the contemporary Duke Yansheng Kong Yanjin. There are two great scholars and more than ten outstanding descendants of the Kong family.
These are the last direct descendants of Bei Kong.
“Jia Cong, little boy!”
Kong Yanjin had just watched Jia Cong slaughter the Kong family members and destroy the Kong family’s foundation in the Confucius Forest.
Finally, even 20% of the Confucian and Taoist rules that originally belonged to the Kong family were stolen.
At this moment, his eyes were red from tears, and the golden aura that was originally unique to the Kong family had turned pitch black at some point.
Exudes an evil feeling.
“The Kong family, even the current head of the family has been possessed by a demon. Each generation is truly inferior to the previous one.”
Tang Jianwen, a semi-sage of the Legalists, understood this best.
Literary spirit comes from the heart. People with righteousness in their hearts have prosperous literary spirit and awe-inspiring righteousness, and evil spirits cannot approach them.
On the contrary, if there is only hatred and evil thoughts in one’s heart, the literary atmosphere will also change.
If the news that the current Duke Yansheng was possessed by a demon were to spread, who knows how much of a stir it would cause among scholars all over the world.
