Chapter 142 - 142: The Great Scholar’s Entrustment Before His Death
On the North-South Avenue.
It was one of the main roads in the capital. It led south to Vermillion Bird Lane and north to Black Tortoise Lane. During the day, there was a lot of traffic. Looking from above, there was a long water dragon that undulated.
At night, the shops on the street were closed and locked. The stalls on both sides of the street disappeared. The entire street was cold and quiet. Only the night wind rolled the fallen leaves and the rustling sound could be heard.
An elderly figure walked out from the darkness. Under the scattered starlight, his shadow was very long. His name was Zhu Zhishan, a great scholar of Jixia Learning Palace. Since three years ago, he had been reading through the classics, manuscripts, the experiences of the great scholars, the vice principal, and the principal to comprehend the Righteousness Spirit. After three years of fumbling, he had already made great achievements.
Some time ago, he had accidentally obtained an ancient remnant book that recorded the experience of the ancient Confucians in comprehending the
Righteousness Qi. It was as if he had obtained a precious treasure. It was like a strong light shining into the darkness, allowing him to reach the bottleneck of his master and immediately gain enlightenment.
Seizing this rare inspiration, he had been working overtime during this period of time. He had been busy at Jixia Learning Palace until very late before returning. He had put in countless efforts and finally integrated them into a complete system for comprehending Righteousness Qi.
He didn’t need to read books, comprehend the true meaning in books, and spend a lot of effort to comprehend the Righteousness Qi.
According to the system that he had organized, he created it himself with a special secret skill and painstaking effort. It tested whether a person had Righteous Bone Setting (named by himself). If he had Righteous Bone Setting, he only needed to build a solid foundation, and then the person who had Righteous Qi would inject a stream of Righteous Qi into his body to let him comprehend it. Then, he could save more than half of the time and comprehend Righteous Qi.
Only one last thing was left!
He had consulted many people on how to preserve the Righteousness Qi in the body of others without dissipating, including the vice president and other big shots, but he still had no idea.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He had overcome
all kinds of difficult problems, but they were blocked by the last step. This made him very angry and aggrieved.
The more difficult it was, the more he would face it head-on. He would never admit defeat. He had to conquer it!
He didn’t hold it in. At this stage, he couldn’t just hold it in. What he lacked was inspiration. If inspiration came, the problem would be easily solved. He left Jixia Learning Palace and prepared to go home to rest.
The surrounding temperature instantly turned cold, and an invisible killing intent locked onto him.
Although Zhu Zhishan was a great scholar and had comprehended Righteousness, his cultivation was not strong. He was best at learning and research, which were his strengths.
However, the atmosphere was so obvious that even a pig could feel it, let alone him. He stopped and focused his attention on the situation. A pair of old eyes, filled with wisdom, swept across the darkness.
“Kill them!”
A cold and emotionless voice rang out. Four men in black rushed out from the darkness. They were very fast and rushed towards him. Sword light flickered and cold air pressed down on him. They cooperated very well and blocked his escape route, heading straight for his vital points.
Zhu Zhishan’s expression was very ugly. His brows were completely furrowed together, forming a ‘Chuan’ shape. They had specially set up an ambush here, and it seemed like they had come prepared. Combined with the latest progress of his research, they were probably here for that thing. He could die, but the thing could not fall into their hands.
With it, Jixia Academy would be able to nurture countless talents and surpass the other two academies in one fell swoop. It would become the number one academy in the Great Xia Dynasty and the holy land in the hearts of thousands of students.
If it fell into the hands of evil people, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In a flash, he thought of many things.
The sword energies of the four men in black were already approaching him.
Without giving him any time to think, he mobilized the Righteousness Qi.
Golden light appeared, containing the power of holy justice and extreme Yang. Together with his Righteousness Qi, it was even more extraordinary.
He didn’t have any weapons on him. He used his fingers as a sword and performed the Righteous Sword Technique. He controlled the Righteous Qi and condensed it into dozens of Righteous Sword Qi to fight with them.
The other party had come prepared and had a higher cultivation level than him. Moreover, the four of them had joined forces. No matter how strong the Righteous Qi and Righteous Sword Technique were, they would not be able to stop them!
In just a short while, he was already covered in wounds. His body was covered in wounds, and his clothes were dyed red with blood. He did not cry out, but gritted his teeth and forced himself to endure. He looked for a flaw and wanted to break out.
However, the man in black was ruthless and experienced. How could he give him a chance?
Helpless!
Zhu Zhishan could only use the stupidest method to ask for help. He mobilized his internal energy and shouted desperately,”Save me…”
Although he would lose all his face and become a joke later, as long as he could keep this thing, everything would be worth it.
The leader of the men in black’s expression changed and he cursed,””Hurry up and kill him! Snatch that thing.”
The sword momentum changed, and the four of them went all out. They withstood the Righteous Sword Qi, and at the risk of getting injured, they wanted to kill him in an instant.
A carriage was very close to them. It was pulled by seven Divine Heavenly
Dragons. There were lanterns hanging around it with the words “Grand Tutor” written on it. The person driving the carriage was Uncle Zhong, and Ji Xueyan was sitting inside.
Ever since the assassination incident, Uncle Zhong would come to pick him up at night.
In the carriage.
Ji Xueyan’s eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes were fluttering slightly. She was resting when suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in her ears. It was Zhu Zhishan.
Shua!
She opened her beautiful eyes and shot out two terrifying cold lights. She hurriedly opened the curtain and rushed out, rushing towards the source of the voice.. A sentence came from the go and see what’s going on!”
