Chapter 317: The Law of Sending the Enemy A Thousand Miles Away
When the Great Dao enters the origin, it is equivalent to being bound to this world.
Just like a small sapling, it takes root in a piece of land and cannot leave this land from then on, but it also gets nutrients from the land.
There are many benefits after the Great Dao takes root in the origin, it will be more stable and grow faster.
It can also borrow the power of the origin.
But the Confucian sage chooses to carry the origin of the Great Dao by himself, so he can't enjoy the above benefits.
He may even face an embarrassing situation...
Take Li Xiuchang himself as an example. His equality is a self-created Great Dao. If it is rooted in the origin, those who follow this path in the future can help him improve the origin.
The more people practice, the more powerful and talented people emerge, and the more perfect the Great Dao will be.
It is equivalent to "crowdfunding the Great Dao".
Although the equality of others has been comprehended and completed in the origin, it does not mean that he has mastered it directly, but the origin of the Great Dao is there, and he can slowly comprehend it.
It is always easier for others to write textbooks and put them there for him to learn than to write textbooks by himself.
A person's wisdom is limited, and the wisdom of an individual can never compare with the wisdom of the masses.
Therefore, the Great Dao is rooted in the source, which is equivalent to inviting all the later comers to help him improve this Great Dao together.
If Li Xiuchang learns from the Confucian Sage, he will be working behind closed doors. How far the Great Dao can go depends on his personal ability.
However, the Confucian Sage is both a must and a must. After he carries the Great Dao himself, he does not take the path of working behind closed doors, but still wants to absorb the wisdom of the masses.
So he did one thing, to preach in the heavens!
Spread Confucianism to all the worlds and attract countless Confucian practitioners.
The Confucian Sage is the source of Confucianism, and all the Confucianism of Confucian practitioners will converge on him.
In this way, the Confucian practitioners' understanding of Confucianism can complement the Confucianism of the Confucian Sage.
The more Confucian practitioners there are, the more perfect Confucianism is, and the stronger the Confucian Sage is!
It can be said that all the Confucian practitioners in the world are practicing for the Confucian Sage!
However, there is a price to pay for this benefit, that is, when the Confucian practitioners borrow power from the source, they actually borrow the power of the Confucian Sage.
There are so many Confucianists in the world, and no one knows how many of them will use the power of origin at the same time at any time. This load is so heavy that it is unimaginable!
Let alone the twelve sub-saints under the Confucian Saint, each of them is very powerful. If they fight together and borrow the power of the Confucian origin together, who can bear it?
If ordinary people dare to do this, they would have been drained long ago.
But the Confucian Saint can bear it, which shows how powerful he is and how deep his foundation is!
He would not dare to do this without two brushes.
So the Great Dao does not enter the origin world, but uses itself to carry the Great Dao, and the advantages and disadvantages are obvious.
There are a lot of disadvantages, and there are two main advantages. One is that its own strength can grow together with the origin of the Great Dao. The stronger the origin, the stronger it will be.
The second is that it can be cut off from this world. The heaven and earth provide soil for growth, but it is also a cage. The Great Dao does not enter the origin, and it can have a higher upper limit.
It can be known that the Confucian Saint was already very powerful before he spread Confucianism in the heavens. He made such a choice, more definitely for the second reason.
So it is said that the ambition of the Confucian Saint is very big!
Very conceited!
Of course, the murals and texts left by the twelve sub-sages only describe the fact that the Confucian sage carried the origin of Confucianism and Taoism by himself. The other parts are all extensions of the thinking of Li Xiuchang and others.
"I thought the content of the murals would be more or less exaggerated and beautified about the Confucian sage, but now it seems to be a record." Li Xiuchang sighed, and suddenly understood why the twelve sub-sages did not protect the murals.
Presumably, when they left these murals recording the truth, they were also entangled in their hearts.
Because they knew that these truths would make the Confucian sage a sinner.
His death caused the origin of Confucianism and Taoism to collapse, and hurt all the Confucian practitioners in the world.
Especially the earliest batch of Confucian practitioners in all walks of life, they were all guided by the Confucian sage to practice Confucianism.
In the end, thousands of years of cultivation were wiped out in an instant, and all previous efforts were wasted. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were cheated by the Confucian sage.
Those old people who had lived for a long time suddenly lost their cultivation and the support of life, and soon died of old age.
What's even worse is the Demon Suppression Realm. It finally rose from the dust, but it fell in the blink of an eye. The dynasty fell apart, the academy became a ruin, and countless people died in the mouths of monsters.
If they knew the truth, how much hatred would those people have for the Confucian Sage?
Of course, when they fell into the dust, it was the Confucian Sage who pulled them up.
If there were no Confucian Sage, they would not have had the glory later, and they might have been extinct at the hands of monsters.
The Confucian Sage just pulled them from hell to heaven, and then pushed them into hell with his own hands.
Including the Confucian and Taoist masters in other worlds, if there were no Confucian Sage teachings, they would not have achieved anything if they did not practice Confucianism.
But who cares so much? When people are unlucky, they just want to curse, and this matter is complicated, it is difficult to say right or wrong.
Those later Confucian practitioners are so innocent. They chose to practice Confucianism with their longing for Confucianism and respect for the saints, but in the end they ended up wasting their lives.
The twelve sub-saints did not want their beloved teacher to be cursed, but on the other hand, they felt obliged to tell the truth to future generations, at least to give an explanation to those affected by this incident.
So they left the mural unprotected and chose to leave it to fate.
Li Xiuchang quickly scanned the remaining murals and scattered texts. The only valuable one was a paragraph that recorded the twelve sub-saints sealing the remains of the Confucian sage after his death.
It was written that after the Confucian Saint failed to seal the demon and died, he was invaded by demonic energy and showed signs of losing control.
After the Confucian Saint died, the strength of the twelve sub-saints was affected and began to decline at a clearly perceptible speed.
The twelve of them had no time to think. Once their strength dropped to a certain level, they would not be able to fight against the demon corpse of the saint. If the demon corpse escaped, it would certainly bring disaster to the common people, and even not only the demon-suppressing world, but also the upper world would be affected.
Therefore, the twelve sub-saints acted decisively and used their last strength to seal the demon corpse of the saint under the mountain, and set up twelve wordless monuments to suppress the demon corpse forever.
After completing all this, the cultivation of the twelve sub-saints gradually fell to the bottom, and their lifespans came to an end. Finally, they sat beside the demon corpse of the saint.
Even after death, the demon corpse must be suppressed to prevent it from going out to cause chaos.
"I see."
After reading all the murals and texts, the three of them finally figured out the situation in the demon-suppressing world.
But in fact, there are still many questions that have not been answered here.
For example, the identity of the saint.
For the twelve sub-saints, the saint just fell from the sky. No one knew where he came from. They only knew that he died in the Demon Suppression Realm.
For example, the source of the problem in the Demon Suppression Realm, where the original magic power came from, is also unknown.
They only know that the original magic power is so strong that it can kill the saint.
However, the original magic power that the Confucian Saint faced back then must be higher than the level that Li Xiuchang and his friends collected from the monsters.
"The identity of the Confucian Saint, your brother Shi Tian must know." Chen Changsheng looked at Zhang Wanzhi.
Zhang Wanzhi spread his hands: "He must know, but he won't say it, what can I do."
Li Xiuchang guessed: "The saint has been very powerful and mysterious since he appeared. Shi Tian is very secretive about him. It is very likely that they are from the same place."
"Are you talking about the seventh world?"
Zhang Wanzhi thought for a while and nodded, feeling that it is very likely.
Li Xiuchang asked: "Do you still want to find the remaining few wordless steles?"
There are a total of twelve wordless steles. They have only found nine so far, and there are still three to be found.
"You can try to look for it, maybe you can find some key information." Chen Changsheng nodded.
So the three of them prepared to continue to act separately to find the remaining three wordless tablets.
Before leaving, Chen Changsheng scolded Wenwen: "Every failure makes you wiser, I hope you can learn from it!"
Wenwen was dejected. If it were normal, he would definitely argue with Chen Changsheng, but this time he lost his tortoise shell and he was really in no mood.
Zhang Wanzhi said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's just a tortoise shell. I will make you a fairy tortoise shell later. I guarantee that you will look more impressive when you wear it."
"No matter how powerful the fairy weapon is, it can't compare to the tortoise shell that this tortoise has grown for thousands of years!"
Chen Changsheng frowned: "It's not that it won't grow out, what's the fuss."
"It will be a new shell if it grows out again. This tortoise still can't forget the old shell."
Li Xiuchang suggested: "I have a good idea. You can go find your clone and take off the clone's shell and wear it yourself."
Get out!
What a broken idea!
Wenwen was so angry that he cursed: "If it weren't for your unreliable sending of the enemy thousands of miles away, how could this turtle lose its shell!"
Li Xiuchang said stubbornly: "That's because you are unlucky. What does it have to do with me? Besides, it was you who asked me to use 'sending the enemy thousands of miles away' on you every time. Don't blame me if there is any problem."
Wenwen thought about it and it was true. Every time it was it that rushed to ask Li Xiuchang to cheat it, and it suddenly felt more angry:
"There must be something wrong with your spell. It targets me!"
Zhang Wanzhi also said faintly: "This spell is not very friendly to me. After trying it once, I dare not try it again."
He only tried Li Xiuchang's "sending the enemy thousands of miles away" once, and he used his clone. As a result, the clone was directly sent into the fairy shade and fought out after many difficulties.
Chen Changsheng said thoughtfully: "I probably know the rules of Xiuchang's 'sending the enemy thousands of miles away'."
"What rules?"
The three evil people were full of curiosity.
Wenwen was even more unconvinced. He wanted to hear what rules could target him every time!
Could it be that the rule is that every time it is used on a turtle, the luck will be cleared?
Chen Changsheng did not answer but asked, "Xiu Chang used this spell against the enemy several times, and it caused great trouble to the enemy. For example, Tianxiang Patriarch was sent to the palace of Zhanyue Xian Dynasty, Xueyun Patriarch was sent to Huanxi Demon Sect, and this time Wenwen was sent back to the arms of the saint. Did you find any common points?"
The common points are already obvious.
"Brother, what do you mean by this is that my 'Send the Enemy Thousand Miles' can send people to the most dangerous place for him?"
Tianxiang Patriarch was most afraid of the old eunuchs of Zhanyue Xian Dynasty, but he was sent to the palace of Zhanyue Xian Dynasty.
Xueyun Patriarch was most afraid of Huanxi Demon Sect, but he was sent directly to the core area of Huanxi Demon Sect.
When Wenwen was escaping just now, the most dangerous place for him was in front of the saint's demon corpse, but he was sent directly to the saint's arms.
Looking at it this way, it makes sense.
Chen Changsheng shook his head: "You sent Wenwen into the cage twice, but there was no danger in the cage. This shows that it has nothing to do with danger. It should be to send the target to the place he least wants to go at the moment."
"But your "Send the Enemy Thousand Miles" cannot cross the boundary between the upper and lower worlds, so it should be to send the target to the place he least wants to go in the same world!"
Chen Changsheng's words woke Li Xiuchang up from his dream. The scenes of using "Send the Enemy Thousand Miles" flashed through his mind several times, and he found that it seemed to be true.
Wenwen was also stunned.
Before, it was most afraid of being locked up in the cage, but it was sent back to the cage twice.
Just now, it was most afraid of falling into the hands of the saint, so it would rather be sent back to the cage in Donggeng District. Although it could not cross the world level and could not actually return to the cage, it was willing to be sent anywhere as long as it could escape the capture of the saint.
As a result, it was sent to the arms of the saint.
It was all right!
Zhang Wanzhi also relaxed his brows, obviously agreeing with this statement.
He had a big shadow on Xianyin, so his clone was sent to the core area of Xianyin last time.
"But..." Li Xiuchang scratched his head, "But Senior Brother Chen, how do you explain your clone?"
Li Xiuchang found that it was not always possible to explain it.
He didn't think about it in this way before, because he used the clones of his neighbors to experiment with "sending the enemy thousands of miles away" at the beginning, and couldn't find an obvious pattern.
According to Senior Brother Chen, the first time he sent Senior Brother Chen's clone to another world can be explained.
Because although Chen Changsheng said that he wanted to explore the other world, he was a cautious person at heart, so he was actually unwilling to venture into a completely unfamiliar other world.
For him, uncertainty was the biggest danger.
But every time he used "Send the Enemy A Thousand Miles" on Chen Changsheng's clone, he could send it to the other world. Why?
The first time, Chen Changsheng might have subconsciously resisted going to the other world.
The second time, the twentieth time, the two hundredth time, was he still resisting?
Later, it was Chen Changsheng who took the initiative to ask Li Xiuchang to teleport, and the other world was definitely not the place he least wanted to go at that time.
Chen Changsheng had also considered this before.
Now he has come up with a reasonable explanation:
"Although you teleported my clone, the clone and my original body actually share the same consciousness. I want to go to the other world, but I just want the clone to explore, and the actual original body is not willing to go.
"So your "Send the Enemy A Thousand Miles" is aimed at the original body's idea. Even if you teleport the clone, you will teleport it to the place where the original body is least willing to go. "
On the side, Zhang Wanzhi nodded after hearing this: "Yes, although I am very reluctant to go to Xianyin, if I only send a clone, I am not so reluctant, but my clone was still teleported to the core area of Xianyin. "
So that's the case... Li Xiuchang's thoughts suddenly became clear.
Chen Changsheng didn't want to take risks in unknown places, so his clones were sent to another world.
Zhang Wanzhi didn't want to go to Xianyin, so his clone was sent to the central area of Xianyin.
Wenwen didn't want to go back to the cage, but in the end, both the original body and the clone were sent back to the cage.
And Sister Xia Sijun, Li Xiuchang also sent her clone to another world last time.
Now that I think about it, I understand that what Sister Xia doesn't want most is to be separated from Brother Luyang!
What could be farther than separating two worlds?
