Chapter 414: Shenmo's Prophecy and the Ambition of Confucianism (7.4k, please subscribe)

The black and white pieces on the chessboard are arranged in an orderly manner.

The young woman was dressed in plain clothes, with a focused expression. Her fingers gently stroked the edge of the chessboard, and a hint of pride revealed between her brows, revealing the sharpness of a young person.

A black particle fell, and the situation seemed to be settled.

Mr. Zhiping had a calm expression on his face, but when he saw the woman declare victory, he couldn't help but frown.

He slowly turned his eyes away from the chessboard and thought for a long time.

The two of them even left Chu Wujiang aside and were immersed in the game of chess for a while.

No wonder when Chu Wujiang came to visit, Zhiping Jushi forgot to give instructions and receive him.

Because they are competing in a very small space and cannot care about anything outside.

Chu Wujiang could feel the woman's calm breathing. He was completely focused, with nothing else on him except the chessboard.

She was clearly only at the Yuandan realm, but she was like a holy monk in meditation, with all her energy focused on one point.

Zhiping thought for a long time, and finally sighed:

"I lost, and I accept it wholeheartedly."

"Dr. Liu's move is truly a masterful one. I am no match for him."

"It's a pity that I can't beat Dr. Liu and miss the chance to participate in the chess competition and learn from Mr. Shenmo."

Mr. Zhiping was a chess enthusiast and he would often play a few games. Relying on the brain power of Yuanshen Zhenren, they were both good at chess.

But there is still a certain gap between us and the top players.

The young lady opened her red lips and said:

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

"My chess skills are mediocre. Let alone my master, it would be extremely difficult for me to beat my father."

"That's why my master ordered me to come here for the screening."

"I have passed the screening. I will take my leave now."

Dr. Liu was about to get up and leave, but Chu Wujiang suddenly said:
"A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word."

“But this game isn’t over yet.”

Dr. Liu was about to stand up, but then he sat down again, staring at the chessboard, motionless.

[It hasn’t finished downloading yet, how is this possible? ]

After Chu Wujiang said this, Mr. Zhiping came to his senses. He secretly cursed himself for being so stupid and forgetting everything while playing chess.

Mr. Zhiping quickly introduced:
"Marquis Guanjun, this is the great-granddaughter of Duke Liguo, a chess doctor of the Imperial Academy, and a famous chess player, Liu Xinqi, Doctor Liu."

"She is also one of the only two women to have won the Tianyuan Chess Tournament."

The only one?

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:

"Then the other one is Mr. Shenmo?"

Mr. Zhiping nodded and said:
"Exactly!"

"Mr. Shenmo only participated in one chess tournament, and he defeated Prince Liu with overwhelming force and won the championship."

"Prince Liu has won the championship for nine consecutive times before. He is only one more time away from emulating Master Xing Luo and becoming a chess saint."

"Later, Shenmo claimed that his victory was unfair and stopped playing chess."

Ms. Shenmo possesses the ability of "Prophet". Even if she can't see, she can guess every move of the opponent.

In this world, Go is not only a tool for entertainment, aristocratic sport, and gambling, but also has the function of prophecy.

Ms. Shenmo's participation in the Tianyuan chess competition was just a divination activity. After that competition, she felt deeply ashamed, donated 10 taels of silver, and retired from the chess world.

No matter how talented a normal person is at chess, he or she cannot beat someone who cheats.

Every move you make will be perceived by prophecy.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:

"What is this chess match that the layman just mentioned?"

Zhiping Jushi said helplessly:
"Two months ago, Mr. Shen Mo was in seclusion for cultivation. He seemed to feel the chaotic changes in the celestial phenomena. The Wu Qu Star, Wen Qu Star, and Di Star flickered one after another, and the changes were unpredictable."

"She decided to comprehend the secrets of heaven and issued an order to hold a prophetic chess game."

"The winner of this chess game will have the opportunity to compete with Mr. Shenmo, as well as a valuable prophecy."

"The qualification to participate is to be better than Dr. Liu."

"In the end, I was still one step behind."

Mr. Shen Mo ranks second on the list of geniuses, only after Fang Xiaoran.

She is not famous for her martial arts, but for her powerful predictive ability, which, if the price is taken into account, is close to that of a natural saint.

Even powerful soul masters would desire to obtain her prophecies, as they could help them solve many problems.

For example, Shen Mo once gave Tian Gang Zhenren a prophecy, which allowed Tian Gang Zhenren to successfully achieve his primordial spirit, instead of failing to achieve the unity of soul and flesh and turning into a pool of flesh and blood.

Rumor has it: If you get guidance from Shen Mo, the probability of regaining your soul will increase by 50%.

Under such circumstances, Mr. Shenmo's appeal is even more terrifying than Xiao Ran's, and even Yuanshen Zhenren can be mobilized.

She wanted to hold a chess competition, and powerful soul masters from all walks of life signed up enthusiastically.

Chu Wujiang heard this and shook his head:

"Then I am sorry for saying too much. Please forgive me, young lady."

"No, everything is fate!"

Liu Xinqi stared at the chessboard and said in a deep voice:
"Everything that happens on the chessboard is destined."

"Master ordered me to be the examiner. I will use predictions as my reward to select talented chess players from all over the world and have them compete with each other."

"Since you can tell the difference between good and bad, why not give it a try!"

"As long as you win, you can participate in the chess tournament."

At this moment, Liu Xinqi's mind was only filled with black and white, and she didn't even care about Chu Wujiang's name or why he appeared here.

Only when one's spirit is concentrated to the extreme can one aspire to become a national player.

Mr. Zhiping stood up quickly and said:
"I have been defeated, and the rest belongs to you, Lord Marquis."

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:

【Layman, what’s going on? 】

[If Mr. Shenmo wants to invite chess players from all over the world, then why not just call on professional chess players? ]

【Why bother? 】

Zhiping Layman quickly replied:

[What the champion doesn't know is that the masters of Go are often in the sects. ]

[The Tianyuan Chess Tournament is held every four years, and the prize money is only 10 taels. How many Yuanshen masters would be interested? ]

[After all, brainpower is more important in Go. If we go to participate in the Go competition and compete with the poor children, we will lose our status.]

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized that this was different from his previous life.

Professional chess players in previous lives must have been stronger than amateur chess players. The gap in strength between the two sides was huge.

But in this world, the Go level of some powerful Yuanshen masters is actually higher than that of middle and lower-level professional players.

Because their spirit and body are united, their brains are highly developed, not inferior to any national players, and they also have various secret skills and supernatural powers.

All kinds of techniques such as future vision and immobilization were used, and ordinary chess players were simply unable to stop him.

They could only lament:
"Stop, this isn't even a game of Go."

Mr. Zhiping said with a hint of nostalgia:

[In the past, there was a master named Xing Luo in our dynasty. He was able to obtain the title of Chess Saint because the powerful Yuan Shen masters at that time believed that obtaining the title of Chess Saint would bring blessings from literary fortune.]

[All the powerful Yuanshen masters came out to fight with him, but without exception, they were all defeated.]

[This is the most valuable chess master. ]

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized and chuckled:

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Liu Xinqi is a chess lover. She immediately bowed and said:

"Please enlighten me, Your Excellency."

Chu Wujiang looked solemn as he sat down to play chess.

His eyes fell on the edge of the dragon. Liu Xinqi had locked the dragon. Once the dragon was slain successfully, even the gods would be helpless.

But Liu Xinqi did not really lock down the dragon. There was still a place where the "material for robbery" was.

Liu Xinqi stared at Chu Wujiang's gaze, followed his gaze to find where the move was made, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

[It's just a bad hand, it will seal itself and die faster]

[No, is he planning to use the Dragon Slaying Sword...]

Liu Xinqi's expression changed slightly.

Chu Wujiang smiled, like a blue dragon swallowing the sky, ready to devour all opponents.

He immediately picked up a white chess piece and placed it down.

Bang!
When the white piece fell, the entire chessboard seemed to emit a dazzling light. Zhiping Jushi asked in confusion:

“Isn’t this a bad hand?”

Liu Xinqi said in a deep voice:

"Yes, this is the tactic that Master Xing Luo often uses [Dragon Slaying Sword]!"

"But the chess world has already figured out his strategy with this tactic!"

“That’s why it’s a bad hand!”

"Unless you can find a new way to calculate, you will only bring shame upon yourself!"

Liu Xinqi immediately placed the black chess piece.

This set of Dragon Slaying Swords is hundreds of years old and is no longer useful.

【Yeah? 】

【The young are really formidable. 】

Master Xing Luo attached himself to the Monkey King's body. Even though they were separated by thousands of miles, he showed a look of joy.

Even after his death, the development of chess has never stagnated, but has continued to move forward.

His most proud tactic had been completely cracked.

How could he not be extremely happy?

It’s just that in the past two months, Chu Wujiang has been purchasing chess manuals and sending them to Teardrop Island for the masters to read.

Master Xing Luo has also absorbed the development and progress over the past hundreds of years.

[Grandpa knows how to play chess, which means I can play chess too. ]

【So this is my chess strength! 】

Chu Wujiang declared shamelessly.

He separated a part of his thoughts and played chess day and night on Teardrop Island. His skills improved rapidly and he was now roughly at the level of a professional chess player.

But there is still some distance between us and the top masters.

After all, the talents and time spent by the national players are not wasted.

So he called for outside help directly!

boom!
Master Xing Luo commands the moves, and new variations appear on the chessboard.

A brand new dragon-slaying sword shines brightly.

【Oops! 】

[That "breakpoint" is not a bad move, but a wonderful "shackle". ]

【This is a new variation! 】

Liu Xinqi's face changed drastically. She could only hope that the other party made a mistake.

Both sides made moves quickly.

The 156th move...

The 166th move...

One hundred and eighty-first move!
The dragon-slaying sword was completed, the dragon head fell to the ground, and the dragon spirit was cut off.

There was a clang.

Liu Xinqi will resign and admit defeat.

She originally wanted to kill Dalong, but was killed by Chu Wujiang. She could only say unwillingly:
"I lost."

Chu Wujiang said politely:

"Thank you for letting me win. I only gained a little."

Liu Xinqi's eyes became somewhat scorching:

"I have been studying the chess manuals of Master Xing Luo since I was young. The way you played just now was just like the reincarnation of the master."

"May I ask your surname?"

Mr. Zhiping was thinking about the chess game and quickly introduced:

"Dr. Liu, this is the champion marquis I mentioned today."

Liu Xinqi's face changed, and she seemed annoyed.

She was completely focused on playing chess without any distractions.

Now that she knew Chu Wujiang's identity, Liu Xinqi's eyes became a little distant. She stood up and saluted, saying:
"I have met the Champion Marquis."

Chu Wujiang said softly:

"Dr. Liu, there is no need to do this. We are friends who discuss chess, not our status."

Liu Xinqi's expression eased a little, and she took out a token from her pocket, handed it to Chu Wujiang and said:
"I am willing to accept the defeat."

"If the Champion Marquis is interested, he can take the token to the Fengyu Tower in Tianjing to participate in the chess competition."

"As for the specific details, they are all on the token."

Liu Xinqi handed over the token and fled as fast as if she was avoiding the plague.

[Am I that scary? ]

Chu Wujiang originally wanted to inquire about the Duke of Liguo's situation, but now he could only ask in confusion:
"Layman, have I ever offended Dr. Liu?"

Zhiping said helplessly:
"My Lord, why are you so confused?"

"Duke Liguo is from the Confucian school, and together with the previous Duke Zhenguo, they are known as the two pillars of the empire."

"The Duke of Liguo has a very close relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion. If Fang Fusheng wasn't incompetent, the two families would have probably made a marriage contract."

"In fact, the two families almost got it done."

"It's just that Duke Li's eldest grandson, Liu Wenxuan, now known as Prince Liu, is firmly against marrying his daughter to Fang Fusheng."

"That's why they missed their marriage."

Liu Wenxuan, this name sounds familiar. (Note: Chapter 373)
As Chu Wujiang was thinking, Master Xing Luo, who was far away on Teardrop Island, immediately sighed:
[It turns out that Wenxuan is still alive and is still active in the chess world. ]

【That's great. 】

Chu Wujiang then remembered that Liu Wenxuan was Master Xingluo's last disciple.

He is also Liu Xinqi's father.

This kind of father seems much more normal.

No matter what Fang Fusheng's real abilities were, he had gone to a brothel and gotten himself into syphilis, which any decent person would not tolerate.

Zhiping added:
"Dr. Liu is obsessed with chess. His relationship with Fang Fusheng may not be very good, but they can be considered childhood sweethearts."

"When she sees the Marquis, she will naturally keep her distance."

Chu Wujiang chuckled:
"It doesn't matter."

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about business."

Ever since Chu Wujiang left the Duke's Mansion, accidents have happened one after another. The two of them sat down again and returned to the original topic.

No matter what Dr. Liu wants to do, as long as he doesn't make me his enemy, I will just ignore him.

Mr. Zhiping said in a deep voice:
"I invited Marquis Guanjun to come here this time, hoping that he can also serve as a doctor and teach the students." "Whatever Marquis wants to teach, I will handle it."

The rank of a doctorate is not high, the highest is fifth grade and the lowest is ninth grade.

Liu Xinqi's position as "Chess Doctor" is of the ninth rank.

But for many positions, you can’t just look at the rank.

The position of Jijiu held by Mr. Zhiping was actually only the fourth rank, but no one thought that his status was low.

All officials who were born in the Imperial College would shout at him when they saw him:
"Hello, Lord Priest!"

Some official positions are small but carry great power.

The Imperial College was originally the territory of Confucianism, but Mr. Zhiping told Chu Wujiang to pick any position he liked.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"I am just a warrior. How can I be a teacher in this place?"

"What's more, I will offend many forces in the future."

"Aren't you afraid of trouble, sir?"

Mr. Zhiping said in a deep voice:
"I believe that this little difficulty will not defeat the Marquis. At most, someone is secretly trying to trip him up."

"I'm afraid that Jingzhao Yin is preparing to visit the Marquis and delay the overturning of the case as much as possible. If he delays the handling of a case for ten or half a year, the matter will be delayed forever."

Chu Wujiang has offended the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate. They may make things difficult for Chu Wujiang in various ways. For example, if someone in the Chu family has committed a crime, they will be dealt with severely and severely, and all will be dealt with to the maximum extent.

I won't show you any human feelings.

Until the Chu family is convinced and bows their heads.

Similarly, it is impossible for Jingzhao Yin to overturn the verdict. According to the practice of Zhiping Jushi, he will at least delay the case for ten years and investigate it slowly.

Anyway, the Gao family case happened last year, and there was no surveillance on the fight, so no evidence can be found.

Chu Wujiang was stunned when he heard this. He still underestimated the Ministry of Justice's ability to pass the buck.

Mr. Zhiping continued:
"So I am still willing to invite you to teach at the Imperial Academy."

"Although the Imperial College is not as good as the Yuanji Academy in Wenzhou, it still has a literary heritage. The Marquis will also enjoy the bonus of literary spirit as a doctor."

"If I were to control it, I could share more."

Chu Wujiang's eyes lit up involuntarily.

The cultural heritage of Confucianism relies on the joint efforts of numerous scholars, and can also form a virtuous circle for the scholars here.

For example, Li Zui possessed the talent for poetry and wine, Lu Zhengwen was a master of exegesis, and Cui Zhuo had the luck of passing the imperial examination.

The descendants of these sage families are more likely to obtain some relevant literary fortunes, and this is the role of literary context.

The dragon veins of the world are almost monopolized by the imperial court and enjoyed by the imperial family.

The Di family rarely shares dragon veins directly, but instead rewards high-ranking officials with treasures such as [Immortal Rice] and [Earth Spirit Pills].

This is also the reason why Chu Wujiang could not get promoted and become rich like the Monkey King and directly obtain magic luck.

Because Tianyuan Mountain controls the flow of national destiny.

You only have it if the Di family is willing to give it to you.

The disciples of the three holy places can enjoy some of the benefits of the Tao.

Chu Wujiang was quite moved, but he quickly calmed down and asked:
"Laymen, do not accept rewards without merit."

"Please make it clear."

Chu Wujiang would feel ashamed if you keep using silver bullet attacks like this.

A hint of joy appeared on Zhiping's face:
"There are two reasons."

"First, the Marquis is a member of the Prince's Party and should share the benefits. This is the request of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Secondly, we know that the Marquis has some relationship with Fairy Fengyao of the Tiandao Sect, so we hope that the Marquis will remain neutral during this Young Heroes Gathering."

"We are sure that the Marquis will win the first prize, and the schedule will satisfy the Marquis."

Chu Wujiang's strength is obvious to all. Neither the Confucianists nor the Taoists think they can stop him, so they change their approach and send him directly.

But wasting energy, just for this?

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:

"Could it be that the Confucian sect has some plan at the Young Heroes Conference?"

"Please rest assured, even if I have a past with Fairy Fengyao, I will not reveal even a single detail."

"If you break this oath, God will hate you!"

The Confucian school even used its cultural heritage to tempt Chu Wujiang, and their ambition was very big.

Mr. Zhiping hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered:
[My Lord, your guess is correct. We plan to reform the Young Heroes Association.]

[For example, the seeded players will be cancelled and all players will have to go through the preliminaries. ]

[From this session on, we should regard fortune as part of the strength of the strong. 】

hiss!
It turns out that this is what the Confucian school was planning.

Even though Chu Wujiang had heard of many conspiracies, he was still shocked by the cruelty of the Confucian school.

Mr. Zhiping did not say it directly, but Chu Wujiang was such a smart man.

This time, the young heroes will be selected through preliminaries instead of seeded players. The Confucian school will secretly manipulate the draw for the competition to eliminate as many geniuses from the Taoist school as possible.

To put it more clearly, they want to eliminate all the Taoist geniuses.

The fact that Mr. Zhiping dared to hint like this also shows that the Taoist sect has roughly guessed their intentions, and both sides are gearing up for a fight.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but say:
“Would this be going too far?”

“The way of politics is balance.”

"Confucians should also understand the principle that when things are full, they will eventually become empty."

Mr. Zhiping thought that he could not hide it from the Marquis Guanjun, so he answered directly:
"This was started by the Taoist sect. They even changed the Tao Te Ching."

"Your Excellency may not know."

"The original 19th chapter of the Tao Te Ching reads: 'If wisdom and argument are abandoned, the people will benefit a hundredfold; if falsehood and speculation are abandoned, the people will return to filial piety and kindness.'"

"They actually changed it to [Abandon sages and wisdom, and the people will benefit a hundredfold; abandon benevolence and righteousness, and the people will return to filial piety and kindness.]"

Zhiping Jushi gnashed his teeth and cursed:
"These shameless things!"

"In order to target Confucianism, they even dared to change the Tao Te Ching left by our ancestors!"

"Extremely shameless!"

You Confucians are not much better than the Taoists in tampering with the scriptures.

Everyone likes to tamper with the scriptures so that the Six Classics are annotated by me.

Chu Wujiang thought to himself that it was indeed true, and his interpretation of the "Tao Te Ching" that day was correct.

Taoism proposed "abandon benevolence and righteousness, and the people will return to filial piety and kindness" in order to attack the core idea of ​​Confucianism and make you think subtly that benevolence and righteousness are bad things.

But it is so dialectical and the changes are so brilliant that the original text is not as good as the tampered content.

Of course, Confucianism cannot tolerate such practices.

The conflict between the two sides intensified.

The Confucian school planned to eliminate all the Taoist geniuses at the Young Heroes Conference. It seemed that there was no loss, only a loss of face.

In fact, this is not the case.

The Young Heroes Association essentially represents the development potential and future of the organization.

Once Confucianism clears out all the geniuses from Taoism, it will become a landmark event.

The reason why Chu Wujiang's previous life's Confucianism was able to defeat Taoism was that it was far superior to Taoism in terms of talent training.

I didn't expect history to repeat itself here in a strange way.

[The only question is, with so many geniuses in the Confucian school, can they completely stop the geniuses in the Taoist school? ]

[Could it be that there are still a lot of geniuses hidden in the Confucian school? ]

[Is there a similar figure in Confucianism? ]

When Chu Wujiang thought of Sima Ying, Sima Jie, the four great sage families, the seven academies, and the imperial examination system that continuously selected children from poor families, he felt that the future of Taoism was not optimistic.

He couldn't help but analyze secretly:
[I had no intention of fighting on behalf of the Dao Sect.]

[Similarly, I will not represent Confucianism, I only represent myself.]

After Chu Wujiang made a brief analysis, he smiled and said:

"Layman, I have no intention of fighting for anyone but myself."

"Please rest assured about this."

"I agree to the conditions of the Confucian sect."

Zhiping was delighted and quickly struck while the iron was hot:
"My Lord, Yuanji Academy wants to buy something else."

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:

"what?"

Zhiping replied with certainty:
"newspaper!"

Mr. Zhiping slowly took out a newspaper and said seriously:
"After discussion, Yuanji Academy believes that this newspaper is very good."

“It can be used to spread the teachings of the sutra and correct people’s hearts.”

"If the price is right, the academy is willing to buy it all!"

There are no asses in this world, especially when it comes to ideological fronts.

After the invention of printing, its main purpose was to print massive amounts of Buddhist scriptures, statues, poems, etc.

Chu Wujiang took out the first newspaper and appeared out of nowhere, catching the princelings off guard.

They did not intend to destroy the newspaper but to buy it and take control of it.

From this point of view, Confucianism has a keener sense of smell than Taoism.

After all, Confucianism is better at writing than Taoism.

Li Hanlin, the Minister of Rites, commented on the newspaper:
"This thing will surely become popular all over the world and dominate public opinion."

"This kind of rare item is perfect for Confucianism."

"The Legalists said: Confucians use literature to disrupt the law, and knights use force to break the law."

"The cultural heritage weapon cannot be given to others!"

The Confucians quickly realized the power of newspapers and set out to control them.

This kind of treasure for controlling public opinion can only belong to Confucianism, and it must be controlled even if all means are used.

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"This newspaper has just been published, and I have no intention of selling it."

Mr. Zhiping pondered and said:
"I know that the Marquis once had a life of ten deaths, but later on, he turned from bad to good, and he often needs some secret treasures of luck."

"If the Marquis needs it, Yuanji Academy is willing to exchange it for the Qiyun Secret Treasure."

"Please name your price, sir."

The Confucian spirit is quite good.

Chu Wujiang's evaluation of Confucianism has increased again. They are planning big things and are willing to spend a lot of money.

Just like the history of the Han Dynasty, before Confucianism became the only official ideology, the Confucian school was the leader in terms of talent intensity and strength, while Taoism had problems in talent development and eventually disappeared.

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"It's not about money."

"The words in that newspaper have special meaning."

"I plan to publish more different newspapers."

"If Yuanji Academy is interested, we can work together to purchase it!"

Mr. Zhiping couldn't help but fall silent.

Yuanji Academy wants to buy out the Tianming Dynasty's right to public opinion, and they are eager to infiltrate every field with writing.

If there are multiple copies of a newspaper, how can we control it?
After a brief thought, Zhiping nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Lord Hou. Yuanji Academy is willing to accept this condition."

"There's just one extra requirement."

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"Please speak, layman."

Mr. Zhiping said word by word:

"This newspaper must not be sold to the Taoist sect!"

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid I can't agree to this, sir."

"I am an old friend of Tian Gang. I kept silent about the situation because I made a vow. Now I am deliberately rejecting the Dao Sect. This is neither reasonable nor logical."

Chu Wujiang refused directly, but Zhiping Jushi was not displeased at all and asked in a deep voice:
"What if the Confucian School can help the Marquis and monitor the whereabouts of Taoist Tianyun?"

what did you say?
Chu Wujiang was moved.

His most dangerous enemies so far are the evil god and the Taoist Tianyun.

Needless to say, we will deal with the evil god after it passes through the Holy Emperor's formation.

Taoist Tianyun was plotting one conspiracy after another behind the scenes, and Chu Wujiang could feel that his mentor was behind the scenes.

Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:

"Layman, please try to explain it."

Mr. Zhiping chuckled and said:

"That day, Taoist Yun is in the Holy Emperor Formation in the Imperial State, repairing the formation for the human race."

"If he continues to repair it, he will have the opportunity to cause trouble."

"He is inside the Saint Emperor's formation, and someone is watching him."

"If the Marquis is willing, the Confucian School can assist in the defense and let the Marquis know the movements."

The Confucian school conducted a comprehensive investigation this time and naturally knew Chu Wujiang's biggest taboo.

They wanted to pull Chu Wujiang into their camp, defeat Taoism, and promote Confucianism alone.

Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:

"I have a grudge with Taoist Tianyun, which is difficult to resolve."

"But we cannot involve the Dao Sect. Please understand, layman."

Although Chu Wujiang really wanted to use the power of Confucianism to deal with Taoism.

But he has many friends in Taoism, including Yunyouzi, Tiangang Zhenren, Fengyao Fairy and so on.

If you want to get involved in this business, you can't sell out your friends.

Just as the Duke of Zhenguo was threatening him, Chu Wujiang still denied the issue of abbotship of Dabei Temple.

He remained silent at best.

Zhiping Jushi obviously would not give up easily. He appreciated Chu Wujiang's position and added:

"Then I ask the Marquis to delay it until after the Young Heroes' Meeting."

"At the same time, we must help the Confucian sect as soon as possible and buy a newspaper!"

"Anyway, with the Taoist's writing level, it will take a long time for them to react."

Chu Wujiang pondered and said:

"No problem, I can agree to it, sir."

Now Mr. Zhiping showed a satisfied smile and said:

"Then the Imperial Academy will respectfully await your guidance, Lord Marquis."

"I wonder what doctorate you want to pursue, sir?"

Chu Wujiang chuckled and said:

"I am just a warrior, how can I be a doctor? So I will be a doctor of martial arts."

Although the Imperial College did not have the position of Doctor Wu, Zhiping Jushi readily agreed:
"no problem."

The two sides smiled at each other, and both hosts and guests were very happy.
