Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

Chapter 529 Don’t let etiquette become a cannibalistic thing!

The dispute over knowledge will never end.

Fang Qing watched with great interest what was going to happen today.

Early in the morning, Hong Yi invited Yun Xiangxiang from the Wenxiang Sect to prepare the etiquette to welcome the many Confucian scholars. Many young men and women walked slowly in the academy and played music. Some rang the bells, some played stringed instruments, and everything was done meticulously according to the etiquette established in ancient and medieval times.

In Yun Xiangxiang's words, these etiquettes are the most important, especially when the academy is completed, every detail needs to be coordinated well, otherwise it would be embarrassing and impolite.

But today you must not be rude.

When the presidents of some academies arrived, music about ancient moral customs began to be played. Immediately, the sound of moral education soared into the sky, exuding a flavor of instructing thousands.

Virtue.

This word is the characteristic of this world, and also a characteristic of the humanity in this world, representing the music played in the academy.

If it was in the imperial palace, the music played would be "Wang Feng". Wang Feng is like a sword, commanding the world, while De Feng is like air, educating the world.

Fang Qing listened to De Feng's music and didn't know what to think. Anyway, it was completely different from the Zhatian Realm.

He had heard many melodies in the Zhatian Realm, such as the Immortal Song of Tribulation, the Overture of the Gods, and the Nine Phoenix Tribulation Song. These songs were also melodies, but the music often contained a solemn and murderous flavor, like the Nine Phoenix Tribulation Song, when it was played, several small worlds appeared, and life-threatening calamities flowed down.

The songs of virtue here are full of educational implications for the world, and contain humanitarian rules in every word.

"Virtue."

"wind."

Fang Qing pondered over these two words, wondering if they could be turned into two countless secret techniques. When the soldiers were marching forward in formation, there was not a single word "virtue" or "wind". If there was a secret of virtue in the world, what would it look like?

As he pondered here, countless runes of humanity circulated, as if they were about to transform into a new physique, a "moral holy body" similar to the human king body.

Outside, the dean of Zhengqi Academy and his 72 wise disciples had already arrived.

"Let's wait for Hong Yi to come out and see what music he plays. If it's not in accordance with etiquette, we'll turn around and leave."

The dean of Zhengqi Academy had a cold look in his eyes and did not step into Zhouyi Academy. This time, as soon as he heard that the music was not right, he left directly.

But at this moment, the melodious sound of chimes and the singing of stringed instruments, the sound of virtue from ancient and medieval times came over, causing the head of Zhengqi Academy to show a look of surprise on his face.

"Hmm? Is this the ancient song of virtue? Even our academy has only inherited half of it, but here it is inherited in its entirety!"

The dean of Zhengqi Academy showed surprise on his face and stood there in a daze.

He almost didn't react until Hong Yi, Xie Wenyuan and others arrived. He was shocked that he almost acted rudely, and hurriedly went to greet them.

You have to know that Hong Yi had already walked to within seventy-five steps of him, and according to ancient etiquette, if he did not move within seventy-two steps of the other party, that would be a sin of arrogance and conceit, which could be said to be a loss of etiquette as a scholar, and he would be severely scolded by the scholars.

The dean of Zhengqi Academy went to greet them, and together with Hong Yi and others, they entered the Zhouyi Academy.

Fang Qing frowned slightly. He originally felt somewhat disgusted with the etiquette that Zhengqi Academy emphasized. Compared with the way of immortality, it was really too picky. It reminded Fang Qing of those hypocrites who did all kinds of evil and yet claimed to be the descendants of saints.

But then again, in the eyes of these academy masters, the immortal and demonic sects are also evil and unorthodox. They don't even take Meng Shenji seriously, even though Meng Shenji could kill these academy masters many times.

He couldn't defeat them, but he just refused to accept the defeat and insisted that he was the orthodox one.

Fang Qing felt that these guys deserved to be punished. If they met someone like Huang Chao, they would naturally behave themselves.

Fang Qing looked at the many academy heads who had arrived, and the word "etiquette" rose in his heart. However, this word of etiquette was not as oppressive as shown by the many academy heads. Otherwise, it would be the mountain of etiquette, the evil way of this person.

While Fang Qing was thinking and comprehending, more academy masters arrived, such as Zhuzi Academy and Wuzi Academy, which were academies built by sage families and passed down for many years.

When these saintly families arrived, many academy heads showed surprise on their faces, but they did not say much. Instead, they sat upright to show their good character cultivation.

No one wants to do anything rude in front of so many dean leaders.

A moment later, eight more deans arrived. They were the eight academies of the Neo-Confucian school, namely, Wenli Academy, Shanhe Academy, Dali Academy, Zhengge Academy, Tianya Academy, Daluo Academy, Yuehua Academy, and Siji Academy.

The arrival of these eight academies immediately attracted a lot of attention, because these eight academies were academies of the Neo-Confucian school, and they had to abide by the moral principles in everything, with all kinds of rules to restrain the world and the people. They knew that this could not be done, that could not be done, and once something was done, it would be considered a violation of the rules and would be severely punished.

Fang Qing was even less interested in these eight academies. After all, Hong Xuanji was also from these eight academies. He had a lot of great principles, but secretly he was a prostitute and a thief, deceiving the world and stealing reputations. He said, "Your wife and I will support you." He cuckolded countless people, especially his brother.

This made the gathering here seem like a gathering of hypocrites. Of course, they were all the deans of a college and had extremely high status.

"Hong Yi, I heard that you are going to compile the Book of Changes, and you also created the Qian and Kun hexagrams to explain heaven and earth. Today I want to ask you what your Qian hexagram means!"

When the eight deans arrived, conflicts broke out soon after. The one who triggered the conflicts was Huang Tianbo, the dean of Four Seasons Academy.

He was extremely dissatisfied with the five words "Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen" in the Qian Gua created by Hong Yi, so he immediately launched an attack.

Huang Tianbo could not tolerate the interpretation of Qian Dao with the four words "Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen".

"Hong Yi! You actually put the word 'profit' in the Dao of Qian, and you even dare to speak so arrogantly here! Gentlemen value righteousness, while villains value profit. Do you mean that the Dao of Heaven is a villain? Do you also want to turn everyone in the world into a villain? The Dao of Qian Gua is clearly Yuan, Heng, Yi, Zhen. This is the perfect explanation of the Dao of Heaven!"

Huang Tianbo from Four Seasons Academy spoke harshly as soon as he opened his mouth, and the meaning of his words directly labeled Hong Yi as a villain. The Qian Gua of the Book of Changes cast by Hong Yi was even more of a villain's way.

This accusation came down directly, as if to crush Hong Yi to death. In Confucianism, the dispute between righteousness and profit is a topic that has never been debated for thousands of years, and it is also a taboo for many debaters. Once the debate is not good, they will immediately be ruined and become a villain, and everything will be ruined.

Now, Huang Tianbo, the dean of Four Seasons Academy, started a literary duel as soon as he opened his mouth, saying that Hong Yi's Qian Gua of the Book of Changes was the way of a villain and extremely dangerous. If Hong Yi said something wrong, he would be doomed and become a laughing stock in the entire history.

Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen.

Or is it Qian, Yuan, Heng, Yi, Zhen?
Hong Yi had a calm expression and gave his own explanation. The so-called Qian Gua in the Book of Changes seemed to be about the Way of Heaven, but it was actually a metaphor for the Way of Man. The so-called Way of Heaven was the Way of a gentleman, so there was the hexagram saying "Heaven moves with vigor, and the gentleman strives for self-improvement without ceasing."

As for "Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen", Yuan means "the leader of good", Heng means "the meeting of good", Li means "the harmony of righteousness" and Zhen means "the focus of affairs".

Therefore, the "li" in the Book of Changes refers to the benefit that is beneficial. A gentleman is beneficial to all things and can be in harmony with righteousness. "Yuan, Heng, Li and Zhen" are the four virtues of a gentleman. Huang Tianbo did not even understand the Book of Changes, but dared to make big statements. This is a villain.

What's more, it's not wrong for humans to value profit. The ancient human emperor taught people to cook with fire and build nests, which are all acts of seeking profit. If we follow the opinion of Huang Tianbo of Four Seasons Academy, then are these ancient saints all villains?

In ancient times, Pan Huang wanted to explore the dragon's cemetery and obtain the dragon tooth rice, but he failed. However, Hong Yi obtained the dragon tooth rice and planted it immediately for the benefit of all living beings.

However, Four Seasons Academy kept saying that it was doing it for the greater good, but as a result, they planted snowleaf rice in the academy and produced a lot, but they did not announce it to the world so that the people could plant it. Instead, they let the people starve while they talked about the greater good, while they themselves were well fed and talked big all day long.

Therefore, the dean of Four Seasons Academy is a villain and a hypocrite. He watched people all over the world freeze to death or starve to death but just stood by and watched. He saw others wanting to benefit the people of the world but he stopped them. He is a complete hypocrite and a real villain. He has read the books of sages and turned them into a dog's stomach.

Even the dean of Four Seasons Academy is not a hypocrite, but a real villain. He is the devil among scholars, a complete "book devil", the scum of Confucian scholars, and the shame among scholars!

"what!"

The face of Huang Tianbo, the master of Four Seasons Court, changed from time to time. He seemed to want to refute, but he couldn't. He wanted to leave in anger, but it was impossible for him to announce the Snow Leaf Rice. He suddenly let out a cry and became completely possessed. His soul memory was burned by the fire in his heart and he died instantly.

A stream of thoughts flew out from his corpse, spun around, and then flew back into his body, still a very valuable treasure.

The master of the Four Seasons Academy had cultivated himself to the point of five thunder tribulations. Now he is dead, but his thoughts are still there. If someone gets his body and refines his thoughts directly, they can obtain all his magic power and reach heaven in one step.

Even though many of the great scholars present were people of high cultivation, when they saw so many thoughts of five thunder tribulations, they couldn't help but feel tempted and wanted to seize and refine them.

But unfortunately, this is not the right occasion. If anyone really dares to refine Huang Tianbo's corpse, he will immediately be turned into a demon and will never be reborn.

"Dead. Did the dean of Four Seasons Academy get scolded to death like this?"

"The words of the sub-sage are too sharp and erratic. How can the Four Seasons Master resist them?"

"Master Siji is not upright himself, yet he talks about profit and justice. He has not done anything righteous himself, yet he dares to debate with others. He is so shameless!"

"The higher your knowledge, the heavier your inner demons become. You have to be on guard against this!"

"Master Four Seasons has been nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and will never be able to turn over! Four Seasons Academy is also going to be disgraced. Look at those disciples, they all look ashen, and I'm afraid they have no future..."

Many discussions were heard, and many academy disciples were horrified and shocked. The academy masters also turned their eyes away from Huang Tianbo's body. They were silent, as if thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, a disciple from Four Seasons Academy appeared, tore off half of his white cloth collar, used it as a mourning veil, picked up Huang Tianbo's body, said a few words, and then left.

"Hong Yi's mouth actually killed a master who had experienced five thunder tribulations."

Fang Qing was amazed at what he saw. This Four Seasons Academy was mainly for further study in their Zhatian Realm or the Xianni Realm in the next world, so they shouldn't be angered to death.

If you can’t win with words, then fight!
How could someone be angered to death?

People who died like Huang Tianbo, without even a soul, could not have their souls captured to refine a main soul.

If Huang Tianbo provoked Wang Lin, Wang Lin would frown, so why would he even annihilate his own soul?

What a waste.

But at this moment, Hong Yi was willing to make the ancient dragon tooth rice public with the intention of cursing to death. This forced other families to make their own heritage public and make a contribution to all the creatures in the world.

Everyone was willing to make sacrifices under Hong Yi's coercion, and the humanitarian atmosphere in the field became stronger and stronger. There was a broad artistic conception that everyone could become a saint in an instant, and so all the holy temples were sacrificed by Hong Yi.

He has been refining a magic weapon during these days, which is the "Temple of All Saints". Now he can take this opportunity to make the name of "Temple of All Saints" famous. In the future, these three words will be passed down through the ages in the universe. If it becomes the number one in the righteous path, it will be comparable to many divine weapons, or even surpass many divine weapons.

"Being famous is also a kind of power. Making your magic weapon a treasure of the righteous path is also a way of using human heart."

Xie Wenyuan, Yun Xiangxiang and others were shocked when they saw what Hong Yi had done.

As for Fang Qing, he wondered whether such a thing was feasible in the Zhatian Realm, but the result was that it was not feasible.

He could only let the fame of Taixuan Holy Sect spread throughout the world, but he could not let his own magic weapon spread throughout the world. Moreover, even if the fame of the magic weapon spread throughout the world, it seemed to be of little significance.

After all, in the world of Zhutian, the names of supreme imperial weapons such as the Void Mirror, Hengyu Furnace, and Dragon Patterned Cauldron are circulating outside, but it seems that they are unable to enable ordinary people to generate the power of wishes.

Only a genuine sect, established in the world, will make the people have countless wishes for the Taixuan Holy Sect and Fang Qing, and help Fang Qing to further advance in his cultivation.

Fang Qing felt that he could not make the many great saints' weapons he forged become the world's number one magic weapon, but in this world, the Hall of All Living Beings had such a possibility. Maybe in the future the Hall of All Living Beings might even surpass the Boat of Fortune and the Eternal Kingdom.

The power of the right path is a supreme divine way and great way to refine magic weapons. The mystery within it is truly mysterious and wonderful beyond words.

"Zheng, name..."
