The old peach is in the middle.
Fang Yun and Zong Moju played chess for a long time without saying a word.
After Fang Yun gave up the pieces and admitted defeat for the tenth consecutive round, he stopped, walked to the entrance of the pavilion, and looked out of the mountain.
"When it comes to Go, I'm nowhere near as good as you." Fang Yun put his hands behind his back and looked at the peach forest halfway up the mountain.
"This world doesn't test Go."
Zong Moju threw down the white piece in his hand and looked to the other side of the pavilion.
In his eyes, there was the April mountain breeze and falling flowers like rain.
Fang Yun turned his back to Zong Moju and spoke after a long time.
"Since returning to Shengyuan, I have never been to Ning'an."
The peach blossom in Zong Moju's eyes dimmed a little.
Fang Yun looked down the mountain, his eyes fell on the black Tuman sword.
The Kunlun Sword Formation still exists today.
"Outside Ning'an City, we should offer sacrifices to Saint Chen."
After Fang Yun finished speaking, the heaven and earth roared.
A streak of red clouds appeared out of nowhere, penetrating the sky between Qing Kingdom and Jing Kingdom.
Like scars in the blue sky.
In Zong Moju's eyes, the mountain breeze was hazy.
After a long while, Zong Moju said slowly: "To unite the barbarians to fight against the monsters is the strategy of all saints in the past. To unite the apes to fight against the monsters is also the right way."
In Fang Yun's eyes, the world was psychedelic, everything was reconstructed, and he said slowly: "After I came to the world, you were wrong."
Zong Moju's body was shaken, and he said slowly: "How are you going to deal with the demon world?"
"Kill them all."
Fang Yun's tone was very normal.
There is a new glow in the sky.
Zong Moju sighed softly and said, "It's easy to know but hard to do."
"That's better than the future, when the demons are noble and humans are lowly, and the human race falls." Fang Yun said.
"It's too alarmist." Zong Moju shook his head.
"This is my deduction!"
After Fang Yun finished speaking, countless white spots of light emerged from between his eyebrows, forming a white river that flowed towards Zong Moju.
Zong Moju absorbed the white holy thoughts with his eyebrows, then his eyes widened and countless images flashed through his eyes.
There is a scene of the human race conquering the Sacred Trees.
There is a scene of the great fusion of humans and monsters.
There is a scene where humans and monsters begin to conflict.
There are scenes of demons secretly accumulating strength.
There is a scene where the monsters begin to split.
There are scenes where monsters and barbarians begin to fight against humans.
There are scenes of monsters and barbarians completely exterminating the human race.
There is also a scene where the human race finally slaughters the monsters.
Countless pictures flash by, countless processes appear, and countless results are formed.
Thousands of pictures flashed, and the human race was exterminated countless times.
In the end, there was only one picture in which humans defeated the monsters, and in that picture, the number of humans was less than one-tenth of the current number.
After reading millions of possible outcomes, Zong Moju sat blankly on the stone bench, holding onto the stone table with both hands.
Afterwards, Fang Yun began to tell the story slowly.
From matriarchal society to patriarchal society, from the Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Qin and Han Dynasties, from Egypt to Rome, from the Persian Empire to the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, all the way to the two world wars and until the post-war period.
"Only the unity of spirit can form the unity of the race! Only the change of order can fight against internal corruption! Only the progress of the holy way can defeat the powerful external enemies!"
The sound of the Tao resounds through the sky.
Outside the mountains and in the water, there are continuous Dragon Gates.
Zong Moju stared blankly into the distance, his eyes filled with the wind and rain, and peach blossoms in disarray.
Outside the old Taoju.
Zong Ming and several other great scholars of the Zong family stood outside the door, talking in low voices.
"We can't hear the content of the two saints' conversation, but the sound of the great way can be heard thousands of miles away. Who can guess what these three sentences of Saint Fang mean?"
"If you understand it literally, the first sentence is very simple. An ethnic group must be united in their beliefs, convictions, and spirits. If there are any differences in spirit, for example, our human race believes in Confucius and our ancestors, while the barbarians believe in evil gods, if we continue to allow the barbarians to believe in them, do you think the human race and the barbarians can be united? The two sides will inevitably become alienated, which is obviously impossible. The second sentence is difficult."
"Indeed, the second sentence is difficult, but the third sentence is very simple. As long as the human race's holy way continues to progress, such as the recent great development of industrial technology, which far exceeds Confucianism, the overall strength of the human race has increased, and it will definitely be difficult to defeat the demon world. The second sentence... Zong Ming, come on, Fang Sheng and the ancestors are optimistic about you."
Zong Ming said helplessly: "Actually... I don't understand the second sentence either, but I can try to say it. The main thing is to follow the teachings of Fang Sheng and abandon being cautious in words and deeds."
"Humph, you really listen to Fang Sheng."
"Okay, listen to him."
Zong Ming said: "Actually, I can't say it directly, so I think from another angle. Since this statement makes sense, and it was said by Fang Sheng, then we can find the basis from what Fang Sheng did. Is this not wrong?"
"Not only good, but absolutely wonderful! Tell me now."
Zong Ming smiled shyly and said, "For example, the first sentence, which requires the spiritual unity of the human race, has many practices that can prove it. For example, opposing the Kong family does not mean opposing the Confucius, and opposing some of the Confucian teachings does not mean completely denying Confucianism. There is another particularly important point. I don't know if you have thought of it. Jingguo has been eliminating evil beliefs in recent years. All those who believe in demons and evil gods are forced to change. I think this is spiritual unity."
The university scholars nodded slightly.
Zong Ming continued, "Everyone knows about the progress of the Holy Path. That is, Fang Sheng opened up the Political Path, strengthened the Industrial Path, and innovated other Holy Paths. There is no need to explain this. However, the replacement of order is difficult. What order does the human race have? What did Fang Sheng do? After thinking about it carefully, I figured it out."
When Zong Ming said this, all the university scholars seemed to be thinking about something, and some even realized something.
Zong Ming continued, "Regarding matters of order, let's not talk about the distant past. Recently, Fang Sheng broke an order, that is, men are superior to women, and allowed women to participate in the imperial examinations. Everyone opposed it back then, but this year it was discovered that the holy ways of the human race have been increasing at an accelerated rate, and it was these women who were pushing for it. In addition to the order of men and women, Fang Sheng also subverted the order of rites and laws, allowing the legalists to completely override the rites and laws. In addition, it also involves the order of fathers and sons and husbands and wives. Under the original law, if a husband beats his wife to death or a father beats his child to death, they would be given a commuted sentence, but in Jingguo, it is an aggravated crime, which subverts the order of fathers and sons. I understand!"
Zong Ming's eyes widened with joy, and then he exclaimed: "I understand what Fang Sheng's change of order mainly means! First of all, Fang Sheng used the cabinet to seize the monarch's power in Jing State, so that the cabinet's actual power is higher than that of the monarch. Isn't this a change of order? When this incident happened, many scholars scolded Fang Sheng and Jing State officials. This subverted the highest Confucian order of monarch and minister, and turned it into minister and monarch! As a result, Jing State not only did not get worse, but prospered. Moreover, Jing State also prohibited the cabinet elders from being re-elected for a long time in non-wartime, which also subverted the order of officials. As for Fang Sheng's most ruthless subversion of order..."
The university scholars remained silent.
After a few breaths, Zong Ming said helplessly: "They treated Qing Jun like an ordinary person, dragged him to the execution ground, and let an ordinary executioner chop off his head. When this happened, everyone must have felt the same as I did at the time, feeling that something was broken. Although it is difficult to accept, now think about it, it is like shattering something that trapped our minds. Let us know that some things can be done, and some things can be broken through! It is completely in line with the Confucianism's advocacy of 'Daily improvement, daily improvement, and daily improvement'! The hierarchy of men and women cannot bind us, family relationships cannot imprison us, and the relationship between the monarch and his subjects cannot block us. Even the monarch can be beheaded, so what else can't be done..."
Zong Ming suddenly closed his mouth, a look of horror on his face.
The grand secretaries looked at Zong Ming, not knowing what was going on.
Zong Ming slowly turned his head and looked at the gate of Jiutaoju. He stood there for a long time, then suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed violently, over and over again, without stopping.
The bluestone road was stained with blood.
