Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

The owner of the pen mound seemed to have been waiting for his words for a long time, and he still had that indifferent smile: "Mr. Hui'an, after seeing that part of the past, do you still insist on doing so?" Zhu Xi drank the wine in his glass, then stood up, as if he had made a great determination: "Yes, I have never wavered in this decision from the very beginning." Lu You was a little confused when he heard that, he looked at the owner of the pen mound in surprise, and then at Zhu Xi: "Old Zhu, are you confused? Open this book tube, and the heavenly brush will come out. Haven't all our previous efforts been wasted?"

Zhu Xi turned his head to Lu You and said calmly, "Brother Lu, I'm sorry, but there are actually no celestial pens in this fish book tube." Lu You got up abruptly, and said in astonishment, "Impossible! I tested it myself, and the awe-inspiring righteousness inside is not a god or man!" "Heavenly and human pens are not the only ones with awe-inspiring righteousness..." The master of the pen mound tapped the table lightly, with a regretful tone, as if he was saying something intriguing.Lu You was stunned for a moment, his emotions were as if the rushing water at the mouth of the Yellow River was suddenly frozen into ice.

Zhu Xi got up silently and left his seat, bowed deeply to Lu You and the owner of the pen mound, then straightened his body, his dark face became unpredictable.A powerful force gushed out from his body, rushing towards the surroundings.This momentum was like a torrent that burst through, and the surrounding peach forests were shaken so that they could hardly stand upright.The owner of the pen mound waved his sleeves to restore them to their original shape.The little boy had already hid behind the owner of the pen mound, his expression a little frightened. In fact, not only Xiaotong, but even Lu You was shocked.The Zhu Xi in front of him seemed to be a different person, with the same eyebrows and eyes, but became stern and majestic, and there was even a trace of sorrow for the world.Soon those weather-connected forces gathered on top of Zhu Xi's head, forming a tube of pens.

"Impossible!" Lu You cried out. He clenched his fists tightly, and his muscles and bones creaked, as if he was facing an enemy. He saw a line of words engraved on the pen barrel of the pen, "Tao originates from the sky, the sky does not change, and the Tao does not change." It is Dong Zhongshu's celestial pen!The Celestial Brush that should have been taken back from the Suyang Confucian Temple. The owner of the pen mound had a calm expression on his face, as if he knew this matter well.He arched his hands and said loudly: "Master Dong, we haven't seen each other for more than a thousand years."

Zhu Xi moved his neck slowly, and said in a deep voice, "There is no Dong Zhongshu here, only me, Zhu Xi, and my will." He only moved his lips a little, but his voice was condescending and extremely clear.This mere sentence conveyed tremendous pressure to the surroundings.The stone bench and stone table cracked several cracks with a "click", and collapsed to the ground, turning into a pile of rubble; several thinner peach trees were broken in the middle; even the small hill itself trembled slightly, trembling a lot dust. Lu You hurriedly resisted with luck, and barely stood still, feeling oppressed in his chest.He tilted his head slightly, and found that the face of the owner of the pen tomb showed countless small cracks, and the entire face was fragmented.It was only transformed from a peach tree, so naturally it couldn't bear the surging pressure.The little boy was so frightened that he put his head in his hands, Lu You strode over and dragged him behind him.

After a while, the avatar shattered into thousands of pieces of sawdust and flew in all directions.The voice of the owner of the pen tomb became a little surprised: "Your Excellency is still Mr. Hui'an?" He originally thought that the Tianrenbi would invade Zhu Xi's body and take the opportunity to resurrect him, but now it seems that Zhu Xi still has free will. Zhu Xi raised his right hand with his index finger facing the sky. "I am not controlled by it, but I chose to meet with it—now I am not a servant of Tianrenbi, but a pen official who can control Tianrenbi." Tianrenbi surrounded Zhu Xi obediently Turned around, as if to prove his statement.

Lu You shouted, "Impossible! You already have a Ziyang pen, no one can have two pen spirits at the same time!" Zhu Xi glanced at Lu You meaningfully: "Brother Lu, you are right, no one can have two pen spirits at the same time." He turned to the cold plum fish book tube and said, "The one in the fish book tube is the My Ziyang pen." Lu You took three steps back, as if struck by lightning.He suddenly realized that the strong aura of righteousness in the book tube did not come from the Tianren brush, but from the Ziyang brush. "But how did you do it?" Lu You asked unwillingly.Unless the pen tomb official dies, it is absolutely impossible to separate the human pen, because one mind cannot be used for two purposes.Zhu Xi was able to seal his Ziyang brush and replace it with a heavenly brush, which is really against common sense.

"Brother Lu, do you still remember what I taught those pen officials in Suyang?" Zhu Xi said in a gentle tone, "everyone has two hearts—the human heart and the Tao heart. The Tao heart conforms to the laws of nature, and the human heart is partial to lust. .Only when people’s desires are destroyed and the laws of nature are restored, is the right way.” Lu You nodded reluctantly.At that time, he dismissed Zhu Xi's rhetoric, thinking it was too pedantic. "I have been cultivating qi for many years, and my human heart is gradually sloughing, and my Taoism is getting stronger. Under the ebb and flow, I just got the Ziyang brush. In order not to affect my self-cultivation, I let the Ziyang brush choose to combine with my human heart. In the Confucian Temple, This single heart was received into the fish book tube at the same time, but it was a blessing in disguise, leaving me with only a pure Taoist heart, without distracting thoughts—this is the purest state of "eliminating human desires and preserving the principles of nature."

"It turns out that you were lying to me about your serious injury!" Lu You was furious, and his beard stood on end. "It's not like that." Zhu Xi smiled wryly. "I didn't expect such a thing. When I was in the Confucius Temple, I intended to spell out my Taoism and die with the brush of heaven and man, because I can't tolerate a A Confucian genius was imprisoned in the spirit of the pen after his death. But when I rushed over, Tianrenbi sensed my aura of awe-inspiring aura and sent a message to my consciousness." Lu You still remembered that when Zhu Xi rushed to the brush of heaven and man, he burst into dazzling light.Tianrenbi flinched for a moment, and then Lu You took the opportunity to rescue Biling.He always thought that it was Zhu Xi's last supernatural power, but he didn't expect that there was something wrong with it.

"Tianrenbi—or Dong Zhongshu—asked me to fulfill the vocation of a Confucian scholar and let him use my body to revitalize Confucianism. I refused, and I told him that the revival of Confucianism can only be done through my study of Li Qi, not other things. .Even if he is an extremely respected senior, don’t try to shake his pursuit of truth. After being rejected by me, Tianrenbi was extremely angry. It wanted to completely devour Ziyangbi. I had no choice but to let Ziyang The pen and human heart actively drilled into the fish book tube." Zhu Xi recalled the scene at that time. Now it is very long to say, but in fact it is only a moment.

"Having lost the Ziyang pen and human heart, the Tianren pen thought I had only a shell left, so it planned to take advantage of the void and occupy my body. But it didn't expect that I still had a Taoist heart. You all know, when What happens when a pen spirit invades a person's empty body and finds that his heart is still there." "God will or stay..." Lu You murmured, in fact, this is the principle of the pen spirit's recognition of the master: the pen spirit penetrates into the human body, touches and combines with the heart of the pen official, and then be driven by him.No matter how powerful the pen spirit is, it cannot escape this law. "That's right, by accident, the Heavenly Man's Brush was absorbed by me and became my pen spirit." Zhu Xi's tone became agitated, "At that moment, I achieved 'eliminate human desires and preserve the principles of nature'. Human desires are completely abandoned, and there is only the magnanimous way of heaven." His eyes sparkled, and the momentum around him became more violent. "Then you still pretend to be seriously ill..." Zhu Xi smiled wryly and said: "I lost my heart at the beginning, and my mind was exhausted. Even if I had a pen from heaven and man, I still couldn't continue. How can this be pretended. At that time, I already had the intention of dying. I thought to myself at that time, I have already realized the Dao, and even if I die, I will have no regrets..." Zhu Xi said here, bowed to the sky, and his tone was very grateful, "If it wasn't for Brother Lu's righteousness, and those few Confucian brushes that instilled in me the awe-inspiring spirit, I'm afraid I've been in a lot of trouble." When Zhu Xi clarified the whole story, Lu You breathed a sigh of relief. He grabbed Zhu Xi's shoulder, half complaining and half gratifying, and said, "Old Zhu, you boring gourd, why didn't you tell me earlier, you were almost scared to death. Who would have thought of this?" The Celestial Brush has become your pen spirit." Zhu Xi took a step back, avoiding Lu You, pulled with his left hand, and ripped off a corner of his robe.Lu You asked doubtfully, "Old Zhu, what do you want to do?" Zhu Xi sighed: "Brother Lu, you and the owner of the pen mound have owed me Zhu Xi as much as a mountain, and should spring up to repay it. But today I have to break my robes and abolish righteousness, and I cannot abolish justice with selfish friendship." Lu You was extremely astonished, and asked, "Justice? What justice?" "For the justice of the world, I will permanently abandon the pen mound and never return to this world." The voice is magnificent, the words are resonant, and it has been spread for hundreds of miles, almost resounding throughout the Peach Blossom Spring. Zhu Xi's body began to slowly float in the air, with his hands raised horizontally, the surrounding air began to circle around him, his dark face was full of righteousness.Lu You was too close to bear the pressure, his internal organs were writhing and he almost vomited.He suddenly felt his body lighten, and when he looked down, he was already tens of feet away. The owner of the pen mound was standing beside him at some point, with one hand on his shoulder and the other holding the little boy. The owner of the pen tomb is still the incarnation of a peach tree. When he saw Zhu Xi finally revealed his purpose, he raised his head and sighed quietly: "I specially gave you a glimpse of the past for Mr. Hui'an. Unexpectedly, Mr. is still stubborn and can't understand my intentions. " Zhu Xi floated in mid-air, standing solemnly, his black face becoming more and more majestic: "Master Dong's actions are based on Confucianism for thousands of years, and he has a close relationship with Zhu Xi. I just read this passage It is only through the origins of the past that I have strengthened my mind. As I said to brother Lu on the boat, the small way of the pen tomb is not beneficial to the world, it will only teach people to disregard righteousness and no longer respect Confucianism and Taoism." "Then why do you have to be hypocritical and fight with that day's pen in the Confucian Temple! Go directly to lick Dong Zhongshu's stinky feet, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to kill us all!" Lu You couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and yelled, this time The feeling of being betrayed made his blood boil. Zhu Xi closed his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of regret: "I am really helping you in the Confucius Temple, but the heavens have given me Zhu Xi a great responsibility, how can I escape the responsibility of justice." Lu You was furious: "What nonsense is justice, Bizuo collects the world's talents, and what's wrong with Lao Zhu!?" "Talent in the world? Besides saints, who else would dare to call it talent in the world?" Zhu Xi's voice turned majestic, he opened his eyes suddenly, and two sharp forces swept out.In an instant, sand and rocks flew, the sky and the earth shook, and Taohuayuan, which was originally a peaceful pastoral world, immediately became distorted and cracked everywhere.Seeing this familiar place being tossed beyond recognition by that person, Xiao Tong trembled in fright. The owner of the pen tomb picked up the little boy, and said solemnly, "Unexpectedly, the heavenly man's pen landed on Mr. Hui'an, and its power is even stronger than before. This realm of "destroying human desires and preserving the principles of heaven" is really incredible." Lu You waved his fist and gritted his teeth: "I said, lend me the Congrong pen first, and I will teach Lao Zhu a lesson. This guy's brain must be broken!" He was so angry that the skin all over his body floated Faint edge. "As soon as the heaven and man come out, there is nothing like it." The master of the pen mound sighed softly.
