I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 258 The prerequisite for morality is abundant martial virtue (please subscribe)
Thirty-two days have passed since the battle of supreme magical powers.

One more day a month.

But Emperor Wanchang felt as if a long time had passed.

When his mind was in a daze, he was almost unconscious, his senses were filled with all kinds of sounds, lights, and smells, and the only thing that filled his consciousness was endless panic.

And now.

The uneasy feeling that had been making him anxious was about to disappear.

The world finally returned to the way he was familiar with.

Lying in Zhang Taiyue's arms, Emperor Wanchang figured out many things just by thinking about it.

So Emperor Wanchang propped himself up and sat up on the cold golden bricks of the Qianqing Palace. He looked at Zhang Taiyue with a guilty look in his eyes: "Mr. Zhang, you must be very disappointed."

Zhang Taiyue: “…”

Disappointed?
It's more than just disappointment.

His mood was so complicated that he couldn't explain it clearly for a while.

Seeing this, Lu Jing turned around and left, saying as he walked, "You guys chat, I'm going to the Confucian Temple with Yan Miaozhu."

Yan Miaozhu immediately followed Lu Jing's footsteps.

Yan Miaozhu caught up with Lu Jing and said, "Now that all the civil and military officials in the court have recovered and you have seven days to live, aren't you afraid that something unexpected will happen in these seven days?"

Lu Jing said firmly: "Don't be afraid, the situation has been decided."

Yan Miaozhu: “…”

He looked at the Supreme Divine Power in front of him and asked, "So, there will really be no emperor in the future? Then the Imperial Ancestral Temple..."

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Let's keep the Wenmiao and Wumiao, and let's turn the Taimiao into a museum in the future."

Yan Miaozhu: "Museum?"

Lu Jingzhi nodded: "Yes, it is a place for future generations to visit history or treasures of the human race."

Yan Miaozhu: “…”

In the past, this would have been a crime of great disrespect!
This is a sacred place dedicated to the royal ancestors, and even royal relatives and nobles are not allowed to go there on normal days.

Only during important festivals could the civil and military officials and nobles in the court dress up to pay homage to the Taimiao. Even officials of lower ranks were not qualified to go to the Taimiao to worship.

And now!
This person with supreme supernatural powers actually wants to allow his descendants... that is, the people of the world, to visit the Taimiao?
This is too much of a disrespect for the emperors of past dynasties.

Yan Miaozhu couldn't help but remind him, "One day you will ascend to heaven."

Lu Jing asked back: "So what?"

Without waiting for Yan Miaozhu to reply, Lu Jing said firmly: "For the continuation of this world, any obstructive force must be eliminated. No matter who it is."

As they were talking, two powerful men with great abilities had already arrived at the Confucian Temple.

In the main hall in the center of the Confucian Temple, the statue being worshipped is the sage of literature and the most holy teacher - Confucius.

The strength of Confucius does not lie in how great his achievements are or how lofty his accomplishments are.

Actually.

In Confucius' time, there were many people who were better at commanding troops and strengthening the country than Confucius.

Even Confucianism was just one of the few prominent schools of thought at the time.

It's not even the top one.

But in the end, Confucius was still moved to the main deity position in the Confucian Temple.

Why?

Because Confucius's knowledge upholds the bottom line of human nature.

If one only has strength but no benevolence and righteousness, what is the difference between humans and animals?

If the power is great but not restrained, the human race will not stick together.

Over the past ten thousand years, whenever the land of Central China was conquered by alien races, some powerful man from heaven would appear sooner or later and take control of the sacred artifacts.

Then pull Zhongzhou back from the path of collapse.

The reason why Zhongzhou has such capabilities is not because of how glorious its history was.

Rather, it is because Zhongzhou’s bottom line is high enough and its foundation is strong enough.

The relationship between ruler and ruler, subject and subject, and father and son is both a sword for the superior to control the inferior, and a lasso for the inferior to advise the superior.

The characteristics of this kind of knowledge are difficult to achieve in other disciplines.

Therefore, it is quite appropriate for Confucius to be the main deity. Next to the statue of Confucius are statues of the literary and Taoist saints of all dynasties in Zhongzhou.

These statues are placed on both sides like courtiers, filling the already grand and majestic Confucian Temple with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

But what really supports the Confucian Temple are the spirit tablets placed in the niches behind the statue of Confucius.

The names written on the shrines and spirit tablets were all the masters of literature and Taoism, as well as kings throughout the ages who had established great virtues, made great contributions, and made outstanding achievements.

As for those foolish or tyrannical kings, they would not be invited to the Confucian Temple.

The emperors who could enter the Confucian Temple could be identified by their temple names.

Taizu and Taizong must be enshrined in the Confucian Temple.

Among them, those with beautiful posthumous titles such as Wen, Xuan, Jing, Ren and De can be included in the Confucian Temple.

Neutral posthumous names such as Huai, Dao, Ai, Min, Si, Shang, or unlucky posthumous names such as Li, Ling, Yang, You, Jie, Zhou are not allowed to be included in the Confucian Temple.

but.

After all, the posthumous titles of these emperors were bestowed by their ministers after their deaths.

As the nobles grew larger.

Many posthumous titles are highly subjective.

Therefore, many emperors with bad posthumous names could not enter the Confucian Temple, but they still maintained strong power in the outside world due to their life achievements, even though they were plagued by bad posthumous names.

The most famous one is probably King Zhou of Shang.

These powerful beings, due to their strong influence outside the sky, eventually squeezed into the Confucian Temple.

Lu Jing saw the tablet of "King Zhou" behind the statue of Confucius.

After worshipping the holy statue in the Confucian Temple, Lu Jing said to Yan Miaozhu: "Please step aside for a while, Yan Miaozhu."

Yan Miaozhu nodded and left.

Then Lu Jing stood in the main hall of the Confucian Temple and said loudly: "Lu Jing, a descendant of the human race, please meet the gods from the outer world!"

Only Lu Jing's voice echoed in the empty hall.

No response.

Lu Jing waited for a moment, then frowned slightly and asked again: "Younger generation of the human race! Lu Jing, please meet the lords from the outer world! Please ask the saints of literature and Taoism to open the way for me!! "

this time!

Lu Jing used his own authority and Dao rhyme.

As the Dao rhyme roared, the entire world seemed to be standing beside Lu Jing, boosting his reputation.

All of a sudden!
The priests in the Confucian Temple suddenly felt as if there was a pair of huge eyes looking down at them from the sky.

The feeling that they no longer had any privacy made them feel uneasy.

Under the angry gaze of heaven and earth, the Confucian Temple, which had been silent for a long time, finally responded.

Deep in the hall, the first clay statue on the right side of the Great Sage suddenly became vivid as if it had come to life.

Then the statue of the mud pit slowly turned its head and stared at Lu Jing: "Mr. Lu, my name is Zeng Fu. I am a little confused. I hope you can help me solve this puzzle."

Lu Jing said with a straight face: "Speak."

Zeng Fu asked: "I have also heard of your new teachings when I was in the outer world. Your new teachings do not talk about benevolence and righteousness, nor do they talk about loyalty and filial piety. They only use the pure study of things to educate the people. Is this possible? If this continues for a long time, won't everyone be converted to barbarians?"

Lu Jing asked back: "Then I would like to ask Mr. Zeng, the human race has been educated in benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety for thousands of years. In which year did we lack traitors and spies? Among those traitors and spies, how many were educated people?"

Zeng Fu: “…”

Lu Jing shouted, "Of course we have to talk about morality! And we have to keep talking about it!"

"But the prerequisite for morality to be well developed is abundant martial virtues!"

Zeng Fu: “…”

At this moment, the statue of the most sage, with a naive and amiable face, suddenly shook!

Then the whole hall began to rumble and shake.

The clay statue of the Holy Teacher, who looked gentle and kind like a gentle old man, gradually came to life, and then the clay statue, which seemed to be slightly bent, slowly straightened its back.

The statue of the Great Sage, who was so amiable just now, became majestic and powerful in the blink of an eye!
An aura of might and invincibility emanated from the clay sculpture.

The statue of the Great Sage laughed loudly: "Hahahahahahaha, Fu, Jing's words touch my heart!"
