Chapter 10 Word Forest
"Sulin, wait for a moment. I will send a letter to the Holy Power, and report to Your Majesty and the Temple step by step the great joy of your wisdom with the holy words. However, I believe that when you are enlightened, you will be angry and fight with bulls. Although ordinary people cannot see this light, your Majesty's jade seal and the statue of Confucius in the Temple can sense it."
With great improvement in cultivation, the magistrate Xu County did not hesitate to spend his holy power and wrote four letters in a row with the conscience of making monster hair and bones. One was told to Yuan Tianzhang, the governor of Jian'an Prefecture, the second was Pang Shihua, the governor of Jianzhou Prefecture, and the third was Sun Jianshi, and the last letter was boldly sent to the Temple of the Nine Kingdoms.
The report was reported step by step, the prefect Yuan Tianzhang was stunned, the governor of the state Pang Shihua was shocked, and the king Sun Jianshi laughed, but the half-saints in the temple were mixed with joy and sorrow. Because when the sub-saint Mencius was dying that day, he left a prophecy: "If someone uses the words of Confucius to open up the wise, the great disaster of the human race is coming."
"Now there is Su Lin, a Confucian scholar in Wu State. At the age of fifteen, he used Confucius's 'no-defense way' to gain wisdom. What do you think?"
As the first rotating saint of this year, Liu Yanfang frowned after receiving the document from County Magistrate Xu and asked for his opinions at the thirty-one semi-saints sitting cross-legged around Confucius' statue.
The saints smiled but did not speak, some shook their heads, and some nodded. Finally, the first saint Liu Yanfang sighed, shook his head, and said, "The holy words are enlightening and extraordinary. Whether it involves the great disaster of the human race, they are not worthy of being the way for outsiders."
After saying that, Liu Yanfang used a reference to his pen and wrote the words out of thin air. In the gold-colored font, the pen was like a dragon and a snake. There were only two characters in total, one was "forbidden" and the other was "mouth".
It was just writing these two words, but Liu Yanfang seemed to have spent a lot of effort. When the words were completed, he said heavily to the sky outside the temple: "Go!"
In an instant, two large golden characters crossed the sky and descended into the territory of Wu. The king Sun Jianshi was laughing and sighing that when Wu was such a talent, the large golden characters floated from above the nine heavens, and there was a faint sense of solemnity and murderous aura.
"Who is so despicable and shameless? I am the king of Wu. How could you, a mere half-saint, issue a ban order?"
As his eyes narrowed, Sun Jianshi quickly sacrificed the Dragon and Snake Jade Seal of the country's magic weapon. He saw that the word "forbidden mouth" was finally defeated after a stalemate with the jade seal. At this time, the king Sun Jianshi was panting, his eyes were frightened, and he secretly guessed: "The holy words are enlightened, and it is indeed extraordinary. It can actually make the first saint Liu Yanfang issue a 'ban order'."
Sun Jianshi possesses the imperial seal of the country's divine artifact of the Wu Kingdom, which can withstand the power of the semi-saint, but the others are not so lucky.
The prefect Pang Shihua, the prefect Yuan Tianzhang, the county magistrate Xu Wenliang, the county magistrate Li Ting, the scholar Xu Lingxiao, Dong Zijin, Dong Feng, Su Liushi, Su Wen...
Even Su Lin himself was instantly forcibly restrained by a huge holy power. Even though they knew in their hearts that Su Lin was enlightened by the holy words, they could not say anything at all. The semi-saint's forbidden order has such power.
"This...even the temple personally issued a ban order, it's amazing! It's amazing!"
The county magistrate Xu was shocked. After a long time of sacred power in his body, he calmed down. He smiled bitterly, took out a golden word "Qin" from the county magistrate's seal and handed it to Su Lin: "Su Lin, this is the word "Qin" you handed over a few days ago. Now you have become enlightened and can participate in the county examination without consuming this word. I will hand it back to you now."
"Thank you, County Magistrate Xu, but this time the temple was alarmed, and even a ban order was issued. Should I go back and explain to the stepmother, brother and sister in the mansion, so that they could keep silent?" Su Lin was a little panicked. He didn't know that he had awakened his wisdom with his holy words, and the first saint of the temple personally issued a ban order.
"No need. Su Lin, the power of the semi-saint, including us, no one who knows about this matter can say a word about it anymore. Don't worry! This matter is of great importance. The demon barbarians covet a lot of attention to our human race, and they must not know it!"
After warning Su Lin a few more words, the county magistrate Xu asked Su Lin to go back to his house and told him to prepare for the county examination in the future.
Su Lin, who returned to the mansion, sat alone in front of the desk and took out the word "Qin" returned by County Magistrate Xu. In the wisdom hole, two bricks of holy power flowed. Su Lin shouted: "There is a road in the mountain of books! Why don't the word "Qin" return to his position quickly?"
A whoosh!
As the holy power shone, the word "Qin" was absorbed into Su Lin's wisdom nuisance along the light. Su Lin suddenly felt relieved, his ears and eyes became clearer, and his thoughts and thoughts became smoother.
"As expected, with the word "diligence", I can greatly improve my efficiency in studying and doing things, and the operation of the holy power is 50% faster. I don't know what kind of "character" can I get after I pass the exam for the scholar's position and enter the wilderness forest?"
This character "Qin" was obtained from Su Lin's father Su Jingtian when he became a scholar.
In the wilderness of Tianren Continent, there is a magical area called the "Shilin". Any Confucian scholar with scholarship and literary status can obtain a "Shilin character" that represents his character and personality.
"The nine-character mantra of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and fraternity have been taken away by the saints of the nine kingdoms and became the character for governing the country. Kong said Chengren, and Meng said to be righteous. Because the State of Lu inherited the character "Ren" of Confucius, it was the most powerful. Confucius once said that "benevolence is invincible". The State of Zou is the hometown of the sub-sage Mencius, and it is governing the country with "righteousness", so its strength is second only to the State of Lu. Zhou established the country with "ritual", and again..."
Su Lin's mind slowly emerged from the entire Tianren Continent. The center of the Nine Kingdoms is the temple, and all the Confucian scholars who have reached the semi-saint cultivation level will enter it to practice. The edge of the Nine Kingdoms is the Great Wall, and outside the Great Wall is the wild world, with five tribe clans distributed in the Barbarian, Yi, Di, Rong, and Hu clans, as well as small clans such as the Qiang tribe, Li clans, etc. These clans are not completely human races, but barbarian clans after the hybridization of monsters and human races.
Some people have human-headed and snake bodies, while others have wolf-headed human bodies. These barbarian clans do not cultivate ideas, do not understand benevolence and righteousness, and rely solely on their physical brute force to plunder the human race, and like people who cannibalism think the most. They are often cannon fodder and vanguards for the demon clan invading the human race. However, thousands of years ago, Confucius joined forces with the various schools of thought to build the Great Wall with the power of holy power, completely isolated these barbarian clans from the wild world outside the Great Wall.
However, although the Great Wall is far more than ten thousand miles long, it also has weak omissions. There are often small groups of barbarian clans who break through and plunder the people of the Central Plains. The Hu tribes in the north and barbarians in the south are most frequently active. Fortunately, all countries have troops to guard the gate and send scholars with literary cultivation to kill the barbarians and demons.
"The characters in the wild continent, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and brotherhood are the unique 'holy characters' in the world, and they cannot be obtained from the character forest. However, although the saint characters such as diligence, courage, tolerance, strength, and wisdom are not as powerful as the nine-character mantra, they can be continuously generated in the character forest, and each has its own functions..."
Su Lin slowly digested the information in his mind. After digesting the word "diligence", he became more agile in thinking and more efficient in doing things.
Although the "wordless Heavenly Book" in his mind allowed him to query any classics and classics, it was just a search engine and did not belong to Su Lin's own thoughts. Tianren Continent's thoughts were paramount, and Su Lin knew that it was just like the four words "a gentleman is not a weapon". If he could not understand the connotation of the thoughts, even if he read them a thousand times and ten thousand times, it would have no effect.
Therefore, although Su Lin can find countless excellent Chinese poetry and prose classics, and most of these classics have never appeared in the Tianren Continent, if Su Lin does not have the ability to truly understand these poetry and prose and understand the ideas in it thoroughly, even if he really plagiarized these poetry and prose, it would not belong to him.
"My ancient Chinese is not very good. Cheating with wordless heavenly books is just a temporary stopgap. If I want to grow up slowly in the Tianren Continent for a long time, I must abide by the rules here, work hard to enrich my thoughts, use my thoughts as a weapon, and absorb all kinds of ideas..."
Recognizing his shortcomings, Su Lin learned from his mistakes. In two days, he basically stayed in his door and worked hard. With the help of the words "Qin" and "Wordless Heavenly Book", Su Lin achieved twice the result with half the effort. Reading books can be seen at a glance, and his comprehension ability is improved rapidly.
Soon, on the day of the county examination, Su Lin read the book for two days and two nights. Not only did he not feel a headache, but his mind became clearer. From the words of the saint to the writing of the Grand Secretary, he was very confident. If someone asked, Su Lin could tell the reason with the search function of the wordless heavenly book, no matter what the debate topic was.
"Brother, hurry up... I won't be able to catch up with the county test any later."
Su Lin cheered up and heard his sister Su Ru's call, so he walked out of the door with clean arms and took nothing. The county examination was a grand event in the Tianren continent. Candidates could enter the examination room with empty hands, and the pen, ink, paper, and ink, and even food were supplied by the state.
"Look, Su Lin from the Su family has really come to the county exam. Alas, I'm wasted the word "diligence" from Su Xiucai!"
"Yes! Even if you are not enlightened at the age of fifteen, why should you waste the word "Qin" to participate in the county examination? It would be better to sell the word "Qin". I heard that the word "Qin" in the black market is worth a thousand taels of silver!"
"It is said that this time there are nearly 1,000 candidates in Fengle County, but only the first twenty are the students. The competition is really harsh!"
