My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 423 Let Bai Ziqing join the Heavenly Dao Alliance?
"Nephew Zeng?"

Seeing that Zeng Anmin had been standing on the stage for a long time without speaking, Shi Ze couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

Zeng Anmin snapped out of his daze, looked at Shi Ze, and suppressed all the thoughts swirling in his mind.

He smiled and looked at Shi Ze, saying:
"I'm sorry, I was busy with disaster relief in the west and a lot of things happened, so I was a little distracted."

As he spoke, he opened the gates of the Duke's mansion and rebuked Shi:
"please."

"No need. I'm just asking a question and then I'll be leaving. Nephew Zeng hasn't been home for a long time, so it would be better for him to go back to his residence and talk to his family more."

Shi Ze smiled and waved his hand to refuse Zeng Anmin.

Zeng Anmin looked up at Shi Ze: "I wonder what Dean Shi wants to ask."

"I heard that you subdued a second-rank martial artist with the supreme treasures of Confucianism and Taoism. This matter..." Shi Ze's gaze was solemn, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Mm." Zeng Anmin nodded readily, and after glancing around to make sure no one was around, he whispered:

"This treasure was given to my father by the Confucian sage after he accepted my father as his eighth disciple."

"May I see you?!" Shi Ze's heart pounded.

A flush appeared on his old face.

As a second-rank Confucian scholar, he knew better than anyone what this treasure meant.

More than anyone else, they wanted to know what the magical treasure given by the Confucian sage looked like!

……

Zeng Anmin's lips twitched.

He also knew that Shi Ze had no greedy intentions, he just wanted to see the treasure.

After all, he had devoted his life to Confucianism and Taoism, and had heard the name of the Confucian Sage all his life, so naturally he had high expectations for what the Confucian Sage left behind.

But I'm sorry.

It's not that I don't want to show you, it's just that I really don't have that thing...

Zeng Anmin looked at Shi Ze with regret and sighed:

“Master Shi, I would also like to show this to you, but unfortunately, this treasure is a talisman formed from righteous energy, and it will dissipate after being used once.”

He shrugged and said innocently, "What a pity."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ze opened his mouth.

His expression quickly turned regretful.

"Ugh."

"alright."

"Then I shall take my leave. Nephew Zeng, you may come to Qilin Academy to find me if you need anything in the future."

Shi Ze walked away somewhat dejectedly...

Zeng Anmin watched his lonely figure.

I felt sorry for the old man.

He had heard his father say that this old man had helped him a lot back then.

……

"Young Master has returned to the manor!!!"

The doorman's voice rang out loudly.

All the servants in the Duke's mansion were busy.

My father is currently fighting a war far away in Qinghai Bay.

With Zeng Anmin able to return home, he naturally became the pillar of the entire Duke's Mansion.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Zeng Anmin waved his hand.

Then, under the unquestioning service of a group of people, he took a bath, changed his clothes, lit some incense, and finally came out of the room.

It took about an hour to get started.

Zeng Anmin finally calmed down in his courtyard.

He lay on the chair.

His gaze also became deep and profound.

"Ji Qing cultivates the Demon Blood Martial Arts."

This clue exploded in his mind like a giant firecracker.

He recalled his battle with Ji Qing back then.

Every move, every stance, flashed through his mind frame by frame…

After a long while, his eyes narrowed.

She murmured softly:

"In other words... he did not 'capture' the true meaning of the Xi Huang Tu."

"The reason his body changes during battle is all because of the Demon Blood Martial Arts."

He had fought against those who cultivated demon blood martial arts long ago.

The King of Jiang in Liangjiang Commandery is a prime example.

"Whoo~"

Zeng Anmin nodded slowly: "When Ji Qing was eliminated, I was glad that the Heavenly Alliance had one less spy."

"Now it seems that Ji Qing did not allow Xi Huang Tu to interact with him at all."

Think of this.

Zeng Anmin gently flipped his hand.

A folded scroll appeared in his hands.

The painting was extremely magnificent.

It was he who obtained the Xihuang Diagram from Ji Qing's secret chamber.

"Even with my father's level of understanding, he couldn't even awaken it."

"Not to mention intake..."

Zeng Anmin stared intently at the scroll in his hand.

Thinking of this, his expression became more serious...

"However, since I have mastered the remnant soul of the Dao Ancestor..."

"They also successfully broke the three restrictions on the Ancestral Dragon Diagram using the remnant soul of the Dao Ancestor."

"Why not use this method to break the restrictions on the Xi Huang Diagram as well?"

As Zeng Anmin thought of this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

With that in mind, he immediately began.

"The Heavenly Dao Diagram has three layers of restrictions."

“The first layer is called by thought.”

"The second layer is used to restrain the soul."

"The three layers are integrated with the spirit."

Zeng Anmin recalled the words of the Dao Ancestor.

"Call it."

That is the realm that Nan, Huang, and Dao are currently in.

"So from the beginning they claimed to be the awakeners of the Heavenly Dao Diagram."

"And the restraint... is the level I reached because of the convenience of the cheat."

"Later, I entered Xiliu, and thanks to the Dao Star left by the remnant soul of the Dao Ancestor, I was able to successfully merge the Ancestral Dragon Diagram with it."

With these thoughts in mind, Zeng Anmin focused his gaze on the Xi Huang Diagram in front of him.

"I'm not in a hurry to break all three restrictions of the Xi Huang Diagram."

"We just need to wake it up first..."

"This shouldn't be difficult for me, given that I possess the Dao Star..."

"I wonder if some strange chemical reaction will occur when one person possesses two Heavenly Dao Diagrams?"

Zeng Anmin thought about it and tried to communicate with the Dao Star left behind by the remnant soul of the Dao Ancestor.

Soon, the Dao Star began to shimmer with light.

Zeng Anmin was completely focused.

Just as he felt that Dao Xing was about to guide him to break the restrictions on the Xi Huang Diagram.

"Om~"

The light of Dao Star suddenly went out.

"Can't you?"

Zeng Anmin frowned.

The Xihuang Diagram showed no reaction.

Zeng Anmin was also somewhat speechless.

"Forget it, let nature take its course."

"I went back to Qinghai Bay and met with the Princess, and asked her to give it a try."

Zeng Anmin tossed the Xi Huang Diagram onto the table with little interest.

"Uh?"

Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment.

Did something go wrong and turn out well?

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, in the cave of Xiliu Guanglingzi, after the statue of the Dao Ancestor God shattered, the three chapters of inheritance that appeared in his mind now shone with intense light.

"No, the Xi Huang Diagram didn't help me figure it out."

"I don't want to understand the Taoist secrets!"

Why would I learn this stuff?

Zeng Anmin's lips twitched.

[The Seven Emotions]

"The worldly desires and passions are exactly what we Taoists are all about. This method can replenish the emotions of the mortal world, refine elixirs and consume them to help you increase your cultivation."

He quickly understood this passage.

To put it bluntly, it's about refining desire into an elixir.

But to learn this skill, you need to develop supernatural vision.

The Taoist school, on the other hand, is skilled in the art of observation.

Once mastered, one can perceive the seven emotions and six desires.

Then, using a special method, it is drawn into the sea of ​​consciousness...

“Actually, this isn’t entirely useless.” Zeng Anmin stroked his chin. “When I break through from the second rank to the first rank, I can use this Seven Emotions Pill to improve my martial arts cultivation.”

"As for this one..."

Zeng Anmin's gaze shifted to the four extremely exaggerated characters.

[Reversing the laws of nature.]

"Formations are diverse, but they are merely tools for human warfare. This is a means to contend with the Heavenly Dao!"

"To reverse the will of Heaven." Zeng Anmin's lips twitched. "What arrogance!"

But when he immersed himself in reflection...

His expression gradually turned serious.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.

"As expected of the method of the Dao Ancestor and the Ancestral God."

"Using a mortal body to reverse the rules of heaven and earth."

"It's just that the price we paid was a bit too high."

"To complete this method, one needs the lives of a first-rank, a second-rank, and a third-rank individual..."

"And it can't change the rules governing the universe; it can only barely alter some minor details..."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath: "I'll definitely never need this in my life." Then came the last piece.

This was also an article that Zeng Anmin cared about very much.

[Life and death.]

"This method can reverse life and death, and control reincarnation!"

These introductions alone were enough to greatly move him.

"Yin and Yang, life and death."

The most important sentence.

"The power of destiny permeates heaven and earth."

"Those with great fortune can use this method to be reborn after death."

“I now possess the aura of Buddhism.” A glint flashed in Zeng Anmin’s eyes:
"Would you be considered someone with great fortune?"

…………

After emerging from the sea of ​​consciousness.

Zeng Anmin's eyes became clear.

"Is this the method of practicing the 'Observation Technique' in the 'Seven Emotions' chapter?"

Zeng Anmin stroked his chin: "If I want to master this method, I estimate it will take at least thirty years at my current pace..."

"Thirty years from now, I might even become a martial god. Who'll still be there to fawn over you then?"

"Wait!" Zeng Anmin suddenly remembered something important.

"A relic necklace!" Zeng Anmin exclaimed, slapping his forehead.

"How could I forget this?!"

"The first supernatural power the necklace gave me was the Buddhist ability of divine vision."

"The Heavenly Eye and the Taoist art of seeing clearly should ultimately lead to the same goal, even though they are different paths!"

Zeng Anmin immediately tried to communicate with the necklace tattoo on his neck.

"Buzz!"

Soon, golden light appeared in Zeng Anmin's eyes.

"Should I go check on Dachun first?"

Thinking of this, Zeng Anmin secretly got up and crept towards Da Chun's room.

"Huchihuchi~"

As soon as I got closer.

Zeng Anmin then heard a heavy breathing sound.

This made him blush with embarrassment.

"Uh……"

They forgot that Da Chun was already married.

Zeng Anmin only glanced at it briefly, but his Heavenly Eye helped him see the faint red aura on Da Chun's body.

"Red...that means that Da Chun is currently in a state of excitement...representing joy among the seven emotions."

"Um……"

After getting his answer, Zeng Anmin fled back to his room.

"Luckily, no one noticed..."

After closing the door.

Zeng Anmin breathed a sigh of relief: "The Buddhist clairvoyance is useful."

"As long as it's useful."

As he spoke, he went to the table, wanting to drink some water to calm his nerves.

but……

His expression stiffened slightly.

Eyes gleaming with golden light shone directly onto the table.

On the table was the Xi Huang Diagram that he had just left behind!

In his golden eyes.

As if shedding its disguise, the Xihuang Diagram flashed gently, and the patterns on it slowly disappeared.

Finally, it transformed into another image, and the ancestral god Xihuang disappeared.

Instead, a valiant general stood with a gun at his side...

"how so?!"

Zeng Anmin could hardly believe his eyes.

He hurriedly withdrew his clairvoyance.

With the removal of the Heavenly Eye.

The Xihuang Painting is still the Xihuang Painting.

The valiant general has vanished.

"Om~"

But with the Heavenly Eye being activated once again.

The Xihuang Diagram has disappeared.

Instead, a valiant general took his place...

"Grass!!"

Zeng Anmin instantly lost his temper.

"This Xi Huang painting is fake!"

"Did Ji Qing deliberately stay behind to mess with me?!"

"I've been asking myself, how come even the Dao Stars left behind by the Dao Ancestor God can't break through the first layer of restrictions on the Xi Huang Diagram?"

"I said, with my dad's level of understanding, there's no way he could awaken this broken picture!"

"So it's a fake!"

"Damn it, if it weren't for my clairvoyance, this divine skill of Buddhism, I would probably have been led by the nose by this fake map for the rest of my life!"

Zeng Anmin's breathing became rapid.

He was furious.

"Ji Qing, Ji Qing, I never thought you'd set me up like this..."

He withdrew his divine eye ability.

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

Add the "Xi Huang Diagram" to your preparation space.

His expression gradually turned cold:

"Where is the real Xi Huang Map?"

"There aren't many people connected to Ji Qing."

"There are even fewer people who practice martial arts."

"By simply investigating Ji Qing's life trajectory before his death, we can definitely find out the truth."

……

Zeng Anmin's expression suddenly changed upon thinking of this.

He looked up expressionlessly into the deep, dark night.

"somebody is coming……"

Who could it be so late?

With his third-grade combat strength, he was almost in a non-human state in terms of perception.

Not to mention his yard.

Even within the entire Duke's mansion, he could spot anything amiss immediately.

I took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked outside.

"have you slept?"

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this sound, Zeng Anmin raised an eyebrow slightly, then pushed the door open.

A familiar face came into his view.

"Brother Bai."

The number one swordsman in the capital.

Bai Ziqing.

I knew you weren't asleep!

Bai Ziqing's face lit up with joy when he saw Zeng Anmin:
"I saw Sima Nan at the Imperial City Guard during the day today, so I know you must have returned to the capital!"

"You're finally back! Brother Bai has been talking about you all day long." Another acquaintance followed beside him.

“Wuxin Daoist?” Zeng Anmin raised an eyebrow and looked at Wuxin.

Wuxin is the Dao of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but he is unaware that he already knows Wuxin's identity.

Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin with a smile and asked, "During your trip to Xiliu, did you have any thoughts for me, Brother Zeng?"

"Of course there must be," Wuxin replied unconsciously.

"How did you know?" Bai Ziqing glanced at him.

"Hey, the two of you are so close, you're practically inseparable. Everyone in the capital knows that," Wuxin said, shrugging.

"Come on, I'm asking Quan Fu." Bai Ziqing rolled his eyes.

"It doesn't matter who you ask." Wuxin crossed her arms: "Quan Fu is definitely talking about you too."

"you shut up."

"Okay!"

……

Watching these two is like watching a comedy routine.

Zeng Anmin fell into deep thought.

“During the days I was away from the capital.”

"Why does the relationship between these two seem increasingly strange the longer they get to know each other?"

"It's been a long time! Tonight, I'm treating you, let's go have a few drinks!"

Bai Ziqing immediately put his arm around Zeng Anmin's shoulder:

"By the way, I recently made a good friend through an unintentional introduction."

"I'll introduce you to them later, but tonight, the three of us will drink first."

"Uh……"

…………

That night.

After drinking alcohol.

A sound flickered in Zeng Anmin's sea of ​​consciousness.

[Huang: These days, my fellow Daoist and I have discovered quite a few talented individuals in the capital of the Great Sage Dynasty.]

[He said: Indeed.]

[Huang: Besides Zeng Anmin, there is another prodigy in the capital who I think we can bring into our Heavenly Dao Alliance.]

[Nan: Who? 】

[He declared: Bai Ziqing is the number one swordsman in the capital of the Great Sage Dynasty!]

[Bei: Bai Ziqing? ? 】

Zeng Anmin watched the two chatting.

His lips twitched slightly.
