Peerless Taoist

They felt the same way. If they had gone through so much hardship and finally managed to walk up from the bottom, they wouldn't have been able to see even a single Saint. If this were to happen to them, they wouldn't be able to accept it either.    

Lu Yu's gaze passed through the few students and arrived at the courtyard.    

"Disciple Lu Yu requests an audience with Xun Sheng!"    

A clear voice suddenly rang out, shaking the broken willow tree. Feiyan was startled.    

The five students were about to leave, but when they heard this, their faces were filled with shock. They suddenly turned their heads to look at Lu Yu.    

"Come in."    

Xun Sheng's calm voice came from the courtyard.    

Lu Yu lifted his foot and walked in. He saw that the courtyard was decorated in a simple manner. A bundle of straw was piled up beside the wall, and it was covered with a layer of snow.    

Xun Kuang, the Wen Sheng, was a thin old man with a resolute face. He was already old, but his eyes were full of vigor, as if they contained thousands of stars, dazzling and dazzling.    

"Your Majesty's arrival in my humble abode has truly brought honor to this old man's humble dwelling." Xun Kuang spoke first, breaking the deadlock.    

Lu Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Today, I have come to see you as a student. In front of senior, I dare not call myself respected."    

Looking at the generous old man in front of him, Lu Yu could not help but feel emotional.    

There were a total of three Scholarly Sage Saints who had survived from the Middle Ages. They were the Scholarly Sage Zhu Yuanxi, the Scholarly Sage Wang Boan, and the Scholarly Sage Xun Kuang.    

Zhu Yuanxi had fallen before him, and after Wang Boan had taught Yi Han, Dao Yi, and Zhang Hong, he had also left the world. Only Xun Kuang remained in this world.    

He was a powerhouse at the level of living fossil, his wisdom and strength. He had long since reached the level of an academic and celestial being. Not to mention Lu Yu's past life, even the first generation of the Emperor of Taiqian, Zhao Tianyin... Even the Emperor of Great Yu, the Great Ancestor, had to address Xun Kuang respectfully as senior when he saw him!    

Xun Kuang waved his hand, gesturing for Lu Yu to sit down.    

"Let's talk about your article first. Jianan can't help but send me a voice transmission." Xun Kuang said with a faint smile. He looked at Lu Yu and nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied.    

Lu Yu didn't put on the airs of an emperor when he came here. He had entered according to the rules set by Xun Kuang. Before this, Xun Kuang had heard a lot about Lu Yu, who had made a name for himself at a young age. Being ranked in the top ninety-five, there would always be some youthful sentiments. However, the first time they met, the impression Lu Yu gave him was that he was a calm, low-profile, and rather shrewd young man. Not impetuous, not arrogant, and this caused Xun Kuang to be rather satisfied.    

The Peace Bridge referred to the Confucians who were guarding the door.    

Lu Yu had long been prepared and said:    

"The ancient Confucian Sect's Sage Kong Qiu said that if the world wants a great ruling, then you must return the favor. This etiquette refers to the Zhou Ceremony. In his opinion, other than morality, the power of the secular system to rectify things was not enough. The Son said: 'The Dao is based on virtue, the same is used to pay respect, there is shame but there is shame.' As long as people did the right path, the people would not give orders. Those who follow are as numerous as the clouds."    

Xun Sheng nodded approvingly. "That's right. Continue."    

"Later, the successor of the Confucian Sect, Wen Sheng Meng Ke, presided over benevolent governance. The key to this was in essence similar to the self-restraint and self-restraint ceremony. First, let the Teng Dynasty recover its three years of mourning, and then let the Teng Dynasty restore the field system. Everything is moving towards the direction of restoring the ancient ceremony."    

"When the Teng Dynasty is about to be destroyed, the Emperor asks Meng Sheng for help. Meng Sheng says that if he performs benevolent governance, the people will follow him. He still did not give a detailed plan. Although Meng Sheng had a river of 30,000 miles, he could not stop the destruction of the Teng Dynasty. He could only watch as it was destroyed. It was useless. Zhu Sheng had once said, 'What Meng Zi said is based on the common view of the world. It can be said that he has no plans.' He had always asked for the revival of the past, and all he could do was pursue the tragedy of morality. However, it was of no benefit to the world."    

Lu Yu's eyes lit up. "The turmoil in the Middle Ages proves that there is no meaning in retaliating against oneself. If we want to continue in this world, there is only a new ceremony! "    

"Oh? In your opinion, what is a new gift?" Xun Sheng asked.    

"The son said, 'If the punishment is not good, the people will not be able to do anything.' The son said, 'If the punishment is not good, the people will not be able to do anything.' Even the sages who pursued ancient rites in ancient times... And will not deny the importance of punishment. The ceremony required both punishment and morality to constrain all living beings at the same time. Morals were one aspect, and punishment was the lowest moral requirement. In ancient times, things that were left unattended were only legends, starting from the medieval period... The Four Directional Heroes began to work together. A powerful cultivator, if there wasn't an even stronger cultivator restricting him... If that was the case, then he would be able to do whatever he wanted and kill without anyone punishing him. Morals were not enough to do such a thing. In my opinion, all rituals should match reality. Seeking the truth from practice."    

Lu Yu looked at Xun Sheng with a pair of bright eyes. "Simply summarizing, there are four words -"    

"The truth is the truth!"    

Just like the sound of the Heavenly Dao, strange phenomena suddenly appeared in all directions.    

At this moment, it was the winter of the twelfth lunar month, but the trees were shade, and hundreds of flowers bloomed!    

Countless cultivators of Ji Sect ran out of their homes, and looked at the shocking scene that had occurred in all directions with astonishment on their faces.
