  Chapter 202: Upgrade of the Forest of Pen and Ink
  As the practice of Confucianism and Taoism became more and more popular, the number of Wei Yi's writers continued to double, and the scale of the Forest of Pen and Ink also increased several times.

  Of course, the growth of the forest of pen and ink mainly depends on the elderly who have become Confucian scholars and lay scholars.

  These people have a lot of pen and ink spirit condensed in them. After becoming pen writers, they directly merged into the forest of pen and ink, bringing a huge increase.

  However, the younger generation of students also gathered together to form a large number, and they also contributed a lot of pen and ink spirit to the forest of pen and ink.

  Not only that, the hard work of these young people has also allowed the scale of the forest of pen and ink to continue to expand at an alarming rate every day.

  Riding on the popularity of Confucianism and Taoism, Wei Yi's poems and articles became completely popular throughout the country.

  He entered all the classes one after another and once again gained countless admirers.

  Therefore, the golden sun in the forest of pen and ink seems to be slowly undergoing some unknown changes under the condensation of countless golden lights.

  The first batch of masters have begun to be sent to various counties and cities to set up Confucianism and Taoism classes, spread Confucianism and Taoism, teach knowledge and solve doubts.

  Du Shaoling was also invited to give lectures in major academies and bring Confucian and Taoist practices to the students there.

  And directly preached that Confucianism and Taoism treated everyone equally.

  No matter who you are, as long as you are willing to read and learn, and can recognize the concepts of Confucianism and Taoism, you can practice Confucianism and Taoism.

  Along the way, with the secret protection of members of the Tianxia Alliance and Bai Jiao, Du Shaoling did not encounter any danger.

  Moreover, dignitaries from various places also enthusiastically entertained Du Shaoling.

  Full support was given to him to come to preach and establish a Confucian and Taoist academy.

  So even if the Celestial Being Sect wants to cause trouble, it can't get involved at all.

  For a time, practicing Confucianism and Taoism seemed to have become the popular aspiration.

  Regardless of whether these people were minions of the Celestial Being Sect, bullies who once caused trouble, or arrogant and arrogant nobles.

  However, they have a high degree of unified support for Confucianism and Taoism, and they also hope to gain the opportunity to practice Confucianism and Taoism.

  Even some people who had quarrels with Du Shaoling when they were in court also received invitations from Du Shaoling.

  For example, Changqing, the prefect of Huzhou.

  He and Du Shaoling once served as officials in the government together. At that time, they had deep grudges against each other due to party disputes.

  This time I heard that Du Shaoling came to their Huzhou and was going to teach Confucianism and Taoism at Zhulu Academy. I was originally feeling very depressed and heavy.

  Of course, this heavy and depressed mood is mainly due to jealousy and some fear.

  On the one hand, he is jealous that Du Shaoling has become a strong Confucian and Taoist man with extraordinary strength. Now he is even more famous all over the world. He has become the spokesperson of Wei Yi and is respected and sought after by thousands of people.

  On the other hand, he was very afraid that Du Shaoling would take revenge on him.

  After all, Magistrate Zhu of Hengzhou City is a precedent.

  However, what Chang Qing didn't expect was that he received an invitation from Du Shaoling today.

  Du Shaoling did not mention the grievances between each other in his letter. Instead, he praised his knowledge and literary talents, hoping that he could practice Confucianism and become a strong Confucian and Taoist like him.

  And invited him to support his former colleague tomorrow.

  Seeing this invitation letter, Chang Qing was surprised, but her heart was full of mixed feelings, and she fell into deep thought for a while.

  If he only asked about his true intentions, he indeed wanted to join Confucianism and Taoism, hoping to use his knowledge to gain extraordinary power.

  But...

  "Sir, does Du Shaoling have any conspiracy?" said an assistant officer next to Chang Qing.

  "I don't think it's a conspiracy. It's possible that he is worried that our adults will embarrass him and affect his preaching at Zhulu Academy. It seems that Du Shaoling is quite sensible!" said another person.

  However, Chang Qing was silent for a long time after listening to the words of his two subordinates.

  In fact, he also knew in his heart that the other party was definitely not taking the initiative because he was afraid of him.

  After all, Zhu Dachang's death is the best proof.

  At that time, the Tianren Sect still controlled Hengzhou City, and with all the power in the government, Zhu Dachang's death became an unsolved case.

  Not to mention that Confucianism and Taoism are now so powerful and supported by many dignitaries.

  Wei Yi is extremely powerful and has great prestige.

  However, the Celestial Being Sect is severely weakened and is keeping a low profile.

  Under this situation, even if Du Shaoling did not send this letter, he would not dare to provoke others, after all, he would not be dissatisfied with his longevity.

  It is impossible for Du Shaoling to be unclear about this.

  As for the conspiracy, that is even more nonsense.

  If someone really wants to harm me, it seems that there is no need to go to all the trouble, and they even write a special letter to invite me to come. Doesn't that mean there is no silver in this place?
  So after some rational thinking and analysis of Du Shaoling's character.

  Chang Qing came to a conclusion.

  It can only be said that his current situation is lofty and lofty, he is very open-minded, he truly repays evil with kindness, and he wants to win him over to join Confucianism and Taoism.

  It seems that this is the atmosphere and pattern of Confucian and Taoist practitioners.

  And maybe people have long downplayed these grievances and ignored them.

  On the contrary, he was still holding on to it, but he seemed a little petty.

  "Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. The Du Shaoling I know is not so narrow-minded. If it weren't for the party struggle back then and we were enemies, maybe we could still be friends!" Chang Qing said in a deep voice.

  In fact, he deeply admired Du Shaoling's literary talent and talent, and was even a little jealous.

  And he also admired Du Shaoling's uprightness and coolness.

  But people die for money and birds die for food. For the sake of your own official career and to be able to ascend to a high position, you have to step on the corpses of others.

  Sometimes they have no grudges against each other, it's just because of the struggle for power that they have to fight to the death in order to gain the upper hand.

  Therefore, when they withdraw from the court and no longer compete for interests, they do not necessarily have to be enemies.

  "Go and take a look tomorrow. Maybe a few of you can also learn how to practice Confucianism and Taoism!" Chang Qing said in a deep voice.

  Hearing his words, the eyes of the two assistant officers flashed with joy. Naturally, they also hoped to practice Confucianism.

  After all, who doesn’t want to have extraordinary powers.

  Soon, Chang Qing asked someone to send a reply to Du Shaoling, claiming that he would definitely be there tomorrow and also expressed his welcome to Huzhou.

  Seeing Chang Qing's reply, Du Shaoling smiled slightly.

  Although in his heart he still had no good impression of these guys who used to follow others' influence and worked for others, and even felt very contemptuous.

  But he knew very well that if Confucianism and Taoism wanted to quickly gain a foothold in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, they must reduce enemies and increase friendly forces as much as possible.

  Now they want to cast a wide net, take advantage of the upsurge of Confucianism and Taoism, win over people's hearts, and disintegrate the relationship network of Tianren Sect in various places.

  Winning over all the officials who originally worked for the Tianren Sect.

  Even if they, the minions of the Celestial Being Sect, will not defect, as long as they stop working for the tiger and fully support the Celestial Being Sect, the Human Sect will become a tiger without minions that day.

  The threat is reduced by half!
  After all, their ultimate goal is to completely eradicate the Tianren Sect. Therefore, for this great strategic goal and the overall situation, he can completely give up all personal grudges and values.

  Moreover, the first step in Confucianism and Taoism is to simply contribute to the forest of pen and ink, and there is no way to use the spirit of pen and ink.

  Whether they can use the spirit of pen and ink in the future depends entirely on Wei Yi's thoughts.

  So Du Shaoling didn't care at all about teaching these people how to practice Confucianism and Taoism.

  It won't be too late to eradicate this big tiger one day, and then find these shrimp soldiers and crab generals to deal with it.

  In this way, with Du Shaoling's efforts, the spread of Confucianism and Taoism became faster and faster, and more and more officials were attracted.

  However, during this time, the Tianren Sect was also working hard to spread rumors about Confucianism and Taoism, hoping to combat the expansion of Confucianism and Taoism.

  These rumors did have some impact at first.

  However, those who are affected are those who cannot read, have little cultural knowledge, or have no discernment.

  This type of people believe and spread rumors because of jealousy, ignorance, or some inexplicable psychology.

  There are also some people who are simply following what others say. Some people may say that there is gold in his balls, but he can dig it out and take a look at it with a knife.

  But the main core group of people practicing Confucianism and Taoism are scholars, a group of people who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and also have a certain degree of discernment.

  Naturally, they would not believe ordinary rumors easily.

  What's more, those who spread the rumors are a group of illiterate people, which makes them even more suspicious of the purpose of this group of people.

  Moreover, what these men of letters are best at is arguing with reason and arguing if they don't accept it. Each of them has a sharp tongue.

  At this time, a confrontation between a group of literati and warriors was staged in a certain restaurant in the capital.

  Those warriors said that Confucianism and Taoism were a scam, and Wei Yi was just using those people's beliefs to increase his own cultivation.

  Those students foolishly worked hard to cultivate just to make wedding clothes for others, but in the end they were squeezed dry without even realizing it.

  Others say that those people cannot develop magical powers at all. The so-called extraordinary power is just a pie painted by Wei Yi. In the end, few people have magical powers.

  Even if someone uses magical powers, they are just borrowing Wei Yi's power, and he is still a weakling.

  Some people say that people who practice Confucianism and Taoism will go crazy. I heard that many people have died, and they are probably all sacrifices for Wei Yi to become an immortal.

  Faced with the alarmist words of those warriors, a group of literati fought back.

  "It seems that we scholars have extraordinary power, which makes some people jealous. What's the matter, you martial arts practitioners, why are you so afraid of us practicing Confucianism?" "That is, you said Confucianism is a scam, I

  think Let me ask you, as a person who has not practiced Confucianism and Taoism, how do you know that Confucianism and Taoism are a scam? Do you know what we practice?

  Secondly, you said that practicing Confucianism and Taoism will lead you to go crazy. Then tell me, you will go crazy. What do people who are possessed by demons look like? Are their meridians cut off, Qiqiao bleeding, or are they delirious and crazy? It really makes me laugh! Thirdly
  , you say that our hard work in cultivation is just to make a wedding dress for Master Wei. I want to ask, how did you know the inside story? Who told you?" "

  Even if we practice Confucianism and Taoism and make wedding clothes for Mr. Wei, so what?
  It is said that one general can make thousands of bones, which one? Those who hold high positions do not climb to the top by stepping on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

  What’s more, Master Wei has a noble character and cares about the world. He gave all of us a way to study and become stronger, and even made many people who could not afford to study. Children can also enter the school, what is wrong with him?

  Can you guarantee that your children will also be martial arts geniuses in the future?
  If they cannot practice martial arts, but like to study and want to have extraordinary power, what choice will you make?

  And I want to ask you, each of you has martial arts skills, what have you done for the Great Yan Dynasty and the people of the world?
  Did you hoe the strong and help the weak, or did you act chivalrously?

  Did you go into battle to kill the enemy, or did you punish the evil? Promoted good?

  Master Wei repelled the Western Barbarian Army, solved the border crisis, and saved the Dayan Dynasty from the war.

  He once again prevented the devil from coming to the world, saved Hengzhou City, and also saved our Dayan Dynasty.

  Without him, each of us here might have been dead in the wilderness, with no guarantee of survival.

  It can be said that Master Wei was kind to each of us.

  As human beings, we should repay the kindness.

  So what if Master Wei took advantage of us? We are just repaying his life-saving grace.

  And you, because of Master Wei, you are here to drink and chat now.

  You are just ungrateful. You are still here spreading rumors and slandering Master Wei, ruining his reputation and insulting his character. .

  I just want to ask, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?
  People like you have ulterior motives and are arrogant. What shame do you have to discuss Confucianism and Taoism here, and what qualifications do you have to judge Master Wei?"

  A group of literati spoke with certainty. , which was so loud that several warriors were speechless.

  Moreover, their words also aroused the resonance of other people around them, and they couldn't help but agree with them. They all joined the side of the literati, and began to point fingers, sneer, and criticize the few warriors.

  Indeed, Wei Yi now not only pioneered Confucianism and Taoism.

  He is also a hero in people's hearts.

  Therefore, for ordinary people, it may not be a big deal if someone insults Confucianism and Taoism, but if it involves insulting Wei Yi's reputation, then it is indeed worthy of being scolded.

  Seeing that the crowd was filled with indignation and anger, several warriors had no choice but to leave the restaurant cursing.

  Then he ran away in despair with his tail between his legs.

  The rumors spread by the Tianren Sect did not have any effect, but instead made this group of literati more united to resist and attack the rumor spreaders.

  And they spontaneously began to promote Confucianism and Taoism, to present facts and reason, and to constantly brainwash the people of the world.

  On the contrary, Wei Yi's reputation and influence grew, and the expansion of Confucianism and Taoism became more unstoppable.

  As Wei Yi has more and more writers, the scale of the forest of pen and ink has increased more than ten times compared with the original.

  Wei Yi was also pleasantly surprised to find that as the size of the Forest of Ink doubled, his proficiency in calligraphy and painting skills also doubled.

  Therefore, during this period, Wei Yi's proficiency in writing and painting skills increased very quickly.

  On New Year's Eve, writing skills reached the upgraded standard again.

  The annual Spring Festival is coming soon, and the entire Qingzhou City is shrouded in the joy of the festival, with lights and colors everywhere, beaming with joy.

  Wei Yi personally wrote several couplets and sent them to the palace, government offices, etc.

  I also wrote couplets for my residence, restaurants and other shops.

  On New Year's Eve, Wei Yi also cooked a large table of dishes to spend this joyful and lively festival with his family.

  With the sound of fireworks and firecrackers filling the sky, people finally ushered in the New Year.

  The whole family was bathed in the atmosphere of joy and did not want to sleep, but Wei Yi went back to the house early to rest because he wanted to upgrade his writing skills.

  As a familiar feeling swept over him, Wei Yi's consciousness sank into the forest of pen and ink again.

  At the same time, he was also pleasantly surprised to see that the forest of pen and ink had changed again...
