Chapter 242: The longevity banquet
demon clan united with the demon sect to attack the Zixiao Taoist sect and failed. The news that the Dragon King and a group of demon kings were burned by the Confucian and Taoist saints and then eaten by all the major sects was like a thunderbolt, directly shocking the entire Zixiao continent.
It also frightened the major demon clans out of their wits. The black dragon clan had no time to feel sad for their dragon king, so they were so scared that they ran away overnight and hid in the depths of the Chaos Star Sea.
The other demon clans in the Chaotic Star Sea all retreated into the deep sea, not daring to show their faces again.
All the monsters like birds and beasts also hid, and some even fled the Zixiao Continent directly.
They were not afraid of the people from the Zixiao Taoist Sect and the nine major sects, but they were afraid of the Confucian and Taoist saint.
They were afraid that they would be stewed by that guy, which made them feel horrified just thinking about it.
As for the two major demon sects, the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Netherworld Sect, the remaining remaining strength has been scattered and they are running away.
They even fight each other to grab the last resources in the door.
However, the Zixiao Dao Sect united with the nine major sects to completely destroy the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Nether Sect.
From then on, there were no longer these two powerful demon sects in Zixiao Continent.
The other demon sects were also trembling with fear.
They originally thought that troubled times were coming, spiritual energy was exhausted, the strength of the righteous sects was greatly weakened, the alliances with each other collapsed, and they would no longer be able to dominate the world of cultivation.
I thought that the era of their demonic ways had finally arrived.
They also started a carnival, a wanton killing.
He didn't take the major sects seriously at all, and even openly poached their disciples and elders to join the demonic path.
But before they were happy for a few days, the situation suddenly reversed again.
The Zixiao Taoist Sect received the help of Confucian and Taoist saints, Tianyunzi's strength increased greatly, and a super strong man who reached the Great Perfection of the Mahayana realm appeared in the Zixiao Taoist Sect.
What's even more frightening is that the Confucian and Taoist saint is completely a living immortal, an invincible existence.
The nine major sects that were originally in harmony with each other were suddenly united by the Zixiao Dao Sect and formed an alliance because of this incident.
Although this large-scale attack by the demon clan also caused the Zixiao Dao Sect, Tai Dao Sect and other sects to lose a lot of combat power and strong men.
However, a poor Taoist priest almost made up for the loss in strength of the Zixiao Taoist Sect, not to mention Tianyunzi's strength and cultivation seemed to have improved a lot.
Plus the emerging Confucianism and Taoism.
"Sect Master, let's leave Zixiao Continent. Let's leave quickly before Zixiao Dao Sect pays attention to us. I heard that the Confucian and Taoist "Song of Righteousness" specifically restrained us. Now "Song of Righteousness" It has become so popular that even if an ordinary person reads it, it can induce Wenquxing to send down the awe-inspiring righteousness and restrain us." said the great elder of the Soul Refining Sect.
In the past few days, the Nether Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect have been destroyed one after another, and they can no longer sit still.
Their overall strength is not as good as these two sects.
The most important thing is that they also did a lot of evil during this period, killing many disciples of Tai Dao Sect and poaching one of their elders.
In addition, their sect is located near the Ancient Qinglong Kingdom, and they have been killing many people of the Ancient Qinglong Kingdom recently.
Several towns were massacred.
So they are really afraid of retaliation.
What's more, as he said, the threat posed by Confucianism and Taoism is too great now.
"Yes, if we don't leave, we may never be able to leave again. The third prince of the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom is already a strong Confucianist and Taoist. The Qinglong Ancient Kingdom is also vigorously promoting Confucianism and Taoism. We have massacred their towns many times before. I am worried about the Confucianism and Taoism." The saint will stand up for the ancient Qinglong Kingdom!"
"Well, the Zixiao Taoist Sect will definitely strike while the iron is hot and use the power of Confucianism and Taoism to wipe out all the demon sects like us!" Several other elders were also persuading.
"But where can we go?" The leader of the Soul Refining Sect looked sad.
"Huaxia Daozhou, with the foundation and strength of our sect, we can have a foothold there!" The great elder said, "No matter where we go, we can't stay here. To avoid the limelight, maybe we can still keep Qingshan. Yes!"
"What the Great Elder said makes sense. We can only avoid its sharp edges now and wait for time to dilute everything!" "
Yes, Sect Master, avoid the limelight. When this trend passes, the major sects should not be able to do it again. The demon sect is chasing after us!"
"Okay, then let us know and get ready to evacuate!" the leader of the Soul Refining Sect sighed.
However, before they finished speaking, a burst of reciting sounds rang out between heaven and earth.
"The heaven and earth are righteous, and they are mixed and endowed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars..."
Upon hearing this recitation, the faces of the elders suddenly changed. They were too familiar with what this poem was.
"The song of righteousness is the righteous song of Confucianism and Taoism!"
"Oh no, they are really here!" the elders exclaimed.
Almost at the same time, shouts also sounded outside.
And as the sound of the recitation echoed between heaven and earth, they all felt the awe-inspiring righteousness pressing down from the sky.
The surrounding air seemed to have become solidified, the body seemed a bit heavier, and the magic power in the body was not flowing smoothly.
An hour later, the Soul Refining Sect was already littered with corpses.
The sect leader and all the elders also died. The elders of the Taidao Sect who had previously defected to join the Soul Refining Sect were also personally killed by the leader of the Taidao Sect.
The ones who came to attack the Soul Refining Sect this time were Tai Dao Sect and Qinglong Ancient Kingdom. Also coming to help were Wuji Dao Sect, Shenji Sect, Jinyang Sect and other sects.
It was the third prince Jiang Haowen who led the troops from the Ancient Qinglong Kingdom. It was with the help of his Confucianism and Taoism that the Taoist side successfully destroyed the Soul Refining Sect.
Let's talk about Wei Yi...
After getting the "True Dragon Secret Book" and the Green Dragon Bones from Tianyunzi, Wei Yi gave them to Bai Jiao to let him practice.
This made Bai Jiao extremely excited. For it, this was a supreme treasure. It was a great opportunity that could really help him change his life against the will of heaven and become a true dragon.
With the help of the "True Dragon Secret Book" and the power of the Green Dragon Bone, Bai Jiao's cultivation level has also improved rapidly.
In addition, the spiritual energy in Lingmulg Valley is rich enough, allowing it to continue practicing without worrying about insufficient spiritual energy.
After the Confucianism and Taoism College of Zixiao Dao Sect was completed, Wei Yi was busy for a while.
Although it is very busy teaching the sect leaders and elders of various major sects every day, I still enjoy it.
Being a preacher is a fulfilling thing in itself.
What's more, his students are still a group of living fossils, a group of big guys who originally stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.
If it was two years ago, he would never have imagined that such a wonderful day would happen.
Wei Yi gave five quotas to each of the nine major sects, but there were still forty-five people in total, plus the Zixiao Dao Sect and the rest of the middle-level forces.
All of a sudden there were seventy students.
But for him, teaching one person is still teaching, and teaching a hundred people is still teaching. There is not much difference.
What's more, these people are not children, and it is easy to teach them. Many of them can be learned with just a few clicks.
But whether the first batch of students can continue to study with Wei Yi still depends on their grades.
Wei Yi made a monthly examination plan. After one month, an assessment will be conducted to eliminate those who are not suitable.
Although these people are the leaders of the Taoist sect in Zixiao Continent and are very advanced in Taoism, it does not necessarily mean that they are all suitable for practicing Confucianism and Taoism.
This still depends on whether they recognize Confucianism and Taoism, whether they study hard, and whether they have a deep understanding and resonance with famous Confucianism and Taoism poems.
At least the first batch of people trained by Wei Yi must be people who can become Confucian and Taoist scholars, who can be truly loyal to Confucianism and Taoism and shoulder their mission.
Therefore, we must select carefully and strictly.
Of course, Wei Yi would not teach them around the clock. More often, he would let Tian Yunzi teach them on his behalf.
After all, Tianyunzi is now also a Confucian and Taoist scholar, and his knowledge and Confucianism and Taoism are second only to himself.
During this period, Wei Yi also used the magical power of "Drawing Borders and Keeping Shou" to draw Donglin Peak into his "territory".
It can be regarded as a way to make it easier for him to travel between the palace and Zixiao Daozong every day. After all, there are lovely wives at home who need to be accompanied and who need to practice together. They cannot be left alone in an empty room all the time.
And it is too boring to stay in Zixiao Daozong all the time.
Perhaps many people yearn for the Holy Land of the Immortal Family and feel that the Zixiao Dao Sect is like a fairyland.
This place is indeed beautiful, like a fairyland, but Wei Yi loves the fireworks of the world more than the beautiful scenery.
Especially when he has experienced too many killings and too many changes recently.
He was called a Confucian and Taoist saint by countless people. After being praised by countless people, he became more and more fond of the atmosphere of the market.
I like to sit by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, drinking tea, watching the busy streets, watching the bustling crowds, and watching all kinds of things in the world.
Because only then will he find himself, feel that he is real, feel that he is not floating in the clouds, but down to earth.
That feeling seemed more real, more practical, and made him feel alive.
It’s not a statue in a temple, it’s not a Dharmakaya, it’s not people’s imaginary gods.
He is himself, Wei Yi, the swordsmith, the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou, and the president of the Qingzhou City Chamber of Commerce... During
this time, Wei Yi also visited the ancient Qinglong Kingdom.
Emperor Yu was so excited by Wei Yi's visit that he held a banquet to entertain Wei Yi.
It even announced to the world that in order to celebrate the coming of the Confucian and Taoist saint, the world was granted amnesty, exempted from corvee for three years, and lifted the curfew for three days, and the whole world celebrated together.
Emperor Yu also made a request to Wei Yi, hoping to build a temple of Confucian and Taoist saints in the ancient Qinglong Kingdom to worship Wei Yi.
Wei Yi naturally did not refuse. After all, this was also a way to enhance the influence of Confucianism and Taoism.
Currently, various countries in Xuanyou Prefecture have countless holy shrines and temples of their own.
In this world of ghosts and gods, faith has always been the easiest way to penetrate people's hearts and have an impact.
Not only that, Emperor Yu even prepared a palace for Wei Yi directly in the imperial city as a place for Wei Yi to live here in the future.
Wei Yi was not polite either. He liked the imperial city of Qinglong Ancient Kingdom very much. It was bustling and lively, no worse than their Qingzhou city.
Moreover, the climate here is warm and spring-like all year round. Flowers can be seen everywhere in the city, and even the most ordinary people will have many flowers planted in front of their homes.
There are also many kinds of fruits here, and there are many kinds of delicious food.
There are many jugglers on the streets.
This kind of city made Wei Yi feel that there was a bit of romance in the bustling city.
He felt that he could really take his family to visit here if he had nothing to do in the future.
So he used his magical power of painting to draw pictures of his palace to make it easier to travel back and forth in the future.
On this day, Wei Yi remembered that his second uncle Wei Tieshan's birthday was coming soon.
He decided to cook a delicious meal for his second uncle with his own hands.
After all, given his current strength, giving any gift would seem careless.
Only by cooking a birthday banquet with your own hands can you express your filial piety.
"But my second uncle has also eaten the usual dishes, so I have to make something different for him. By the way, I will go to Luan Xinghai to get some seafood and bring it back for my second uncle to try. I will also make some special poultry meat and mountain food from Zixiao Continent." Treasure game!" Wei Yixin said.
Although the white roc meat and black dragon meat cooked last time were very delicious, the meat of the monster beast was too powerful and the second uncle and second aunt might not be able to tolerate it.
After all, they don't have much cultivation, and powerful monsters may overdo it and make their bodies unable to bear it.
But it is okay to engage in some beasts with little or low cultivation.
After cooking it yourself, you can definitely give it to your uncle and aunt to taste.
Thinking of this, Wei Yi directly took a poor Taoist priest to go hunting. After all, no one was more suitable to be a guide than him.
On the recommendation of a poor Taoist priest, Wei Yi successively captured some birds, all of which were top-quality treasures.
Although it does not have the medicinal and refining value of monster beasts, it is absolutely the best in the world in terms of taste.
Then the two went to Luan Xinghai together and salvaged some seafood there.
The arrival of the two men almost made the demon clan lurking in the Chaos Star Sea escape from the sea directly.
Fortunately, they just caught some "seafood" and left.
Wei Yi also drew a piece of territory on the Luanxing Sea with "Huajiang Mo Shou" and inserted an eye to make it easier to travel back and forth here in the future.
When Wei Yi returned to Qingzhou City, Wei Tieshan's birthday banquet was over.
With the current status and influence of the Wei family in the Dayan Dynasty, Wei Tieshan's birthday banquet was naturally extremely grand and lively.
Many dignitaries and heads of major sects came to congratulate him, and the whole palace was full of joy.
In fact, everyone knows that everyone comes here because of Wei Yi's face. This is the saying that after thirty years, you will look at your son and your father.
The Wei family is actually very low-key on weekdays. Last year, Wei Tieshan's family also had a simple birthday.
But unexpectedly, the news spread quickly, so all parties knew about Wei Tieshan's birthday.
This year’s birthday hasn’t even started yet, and already many people have come to give gifts.
Many dignitaries in the city said they would come to the birthday banquet, and Wei Tieshan was embarrassed to refute everyone's good intentions.
Moreover, when others gave gifts, it would be unjustifiable for me not to hold a banquet.
So a grand birthday banquet was held in the palace.
But Wei Tieshan still underestimated Wei Yi's influence. His second uncle's birthday banquet directly shocked most of the dignitaries of the dynasty.
Many people came uninvited and prepared many gifts. Those who did not come in time also sent birthday gifts. Even the emperor sent people to deliver gifts in person.
All kinds of gifts filled the two rooms, and it was impossible to count the rare treasures there were.
But what makes Wei Tieshan a little regretful is that Wei Yi was not at home on this birthday.
He felt that Wei Yi might have been too busy, so he forgot about it. After all, he hadn't been seen back recently.
Of course, it could also be that he avoided his birthday on purpose.
Wei Tieshan could also understand that Wei Yi had a special status and was indeed not suitable to attend such an occasion, so he should avoid it for the time being.
But compared to this kind of grand birthday banquet, what he needs more is for the family to have fun and have a simple birthday.
Now that the birthday banquet is over, the guests have dispersed. Looking at the gifts all over the room, Wei Tieshan smiles bitterly. Sometimes fame and status are also a burden.
A commoner like him prefers to keep things simple. It seems that when he celebrates his birthday next year, he will have to hide out with his nephew.
"Second uncle, happy birthday!" At this moment, Wei Yi's voice came from behind.
Wei Tieshan turned around happily, with a warm smile on his face.
It seemed that Wei Yi's greeting made him happier than the room full of birthday gifts.
"Yi'er, you're back!" Wei Tieshan said happily.
"Second uncle, I brought you a lot of delicacies from the Zixiao Continent. I will cook you a table of delicious dishes tonight, and my nephew will have a drink with you!" Wei Yi said with a smile.
"Okay!" Wei Tieshan nodded heavily, with a smile on his face.
He knew that Wei Yi would never forget his birthday.
