The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2614: Worship the Saints

The sea breeze was surging, and the waves hit the dock, making a rustling sound.

Welcome by many scholars in Haijiang City, Fang Yun was the first to step onto the port, and then the seahorse pulling the imperial chariot slowly changed its form, turning into an appearance similar to that of an ordinary horse, and pulled the imperial chariot ashore.

Jing Liren took a close look at the purple robe of the great scholar on Fang Yun, and then subconsciously looked at his own purple robe, and smiled: "May I ask the name of Wen Xinglongjue."

"You don't know me?" Fang Yun blurted out, looking at the scholars in Haiya Ancient Land in surprise. After all, Lei Tingyu had stayed here for several years. Although there was no record of the Lei family entering Haiya Ancient Land in the Holy Academy later, the news here was not so closed.

The reason why Fang Yun decided to fight quickly was that he preconceived that they knew him, and if he dragged it on, it would be disadvantageous to him.

The scholars nearby all looked embarrassed.

Jing Liren hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "You are naturally well-known in Shengyuan Continent, but my Haiya Ancient Land has been cut off from the outside world for a long time, and the permanent passage has not been officially opened, so I don't know the scholars who have become famous in recent years."

Fang Yun glanced at the scholars and asked, "Where is Lei Tingyu?"

When everyone heard Fang Yun actually called Lei Tingyu by name, their first feeling was that this person was more important than Lei Tingyu, and only a few people suspected that the two were not in harmony.

"Mr. Tingyu left in the early morning, and I don't know how long it will take for him to return." Jing Liren still smiled.

Fang Yun nodded and smiled, "My name is Ji Zhibai."

Some water creatures who had heard Fang Yun's real name were puzzled, but no one spoke.

A few mermaids could guess that Fang Yun was not clear about the specific attitude of the Haiya Alliance, so he used a pseudonym to test it first.

Everyone in the Haiya Alliance tried their best to recall that they had never heard of this name. After all, when the Haiya Ancient Land was last opened, Ji Zhibai was only a juren.

Jing Liren sighed, "Although great scholars have the secret to maintain their youth, even if Mr. Ji has taken the magic medicine, he should be very young and will never be over 40 years old. I am afraid that only Mr. Yi Zhishi can be compared with you."

"When I became a great scholar, I was younger than him." Fang Yun said with a smile, although he was actually a dozen years younger.

All the scholars present were in awe and wanted to get close to him.

Even though the ancient land of Haiya was isolated from the Shengyuan Continent, many people who heard about Yi Zhishi's deeds admired him. Now this "Ji Zhibai" became a great scholar at a younger age than Yi Zhishi, and he could be said to be a future half-saint.

"I admire him!" Jing Liren praised sincerely.

"Mr. Ji was really a hero at that time!"

"Such a hero, a role model for the human race!"

Everyone praised.

A group of water tribes were a little dumbfounded. They were originally going to ask for punishment, but why did the Haiya Alliance, which was originally shouting for war and killing, suddenly become so easy to talk to? Can they still take revenge?

Fang Yun just smiled and exchanged pleasantries with everyone, and finally said: "I met Mr. Jing Lixiao in the Burial Valley. Although we only knew each other for a short time, we had a good chat. I came to the ancient land of Haiya this time, and I first wanted to reminisce with Mr. Lixiao. I wonder where Mr. Lixiao is?"

The Queen of Mermaids laughed secretly, because Fang Yun had asked Jing Lixiao whether he would return before, and she replied that Jing Lixiao had died in the Burial Valley and had not returned to the ancient land of Haiya.

Everyone immediately showed a look of sorrow, and Jing Liren sighed and said: "Third brother has not returned since he went to the Burial Valley. I am afraid that he is in danger."

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Mr. Lixiao is a lucky person, and he will definitely return safely."

Everyone knew that Fang Yun was comforting, and they felt even warmer.

Everyone's attitude towards Fang Yun was more respectful, because being able to enter the Burial Valley is not an ordinary person. If he can come back alive, he will become a hero of the human race and his status will soar.

Jing Liren suppressed his sorrowful expression, and his expression was slightly self-satisfied. Since such a big man was on good terms with Jing Lixiao, the Jingsheng family would surely rise.

"We have prepared a banquet in the Jing family mansion. Would Mr. Zhibai come?" Jing Liren asked.

The expressions of the scholars present changed slightly, because they had planned to hold a banquet at the Wenyuan in Haijiang City, which was more formal, but Jing Liren changed his mind and held a banquet at the Jing family, which was obviously to win over this "Ji Zhibai".

Fang Yun said seriously: "When you come here, you must first visit the temple, especially to worship Jingsheng. After the worship is over, it will not be too late to go to the Jing family."

Jing Liren and other Jing family members were very pleased to hear this and immediately expressed their support.

Afterwards, Fang Yun led only more than a hundred water tribes, accompanied by the scholars of the Haiya Alliance, to the outside of the Wenyuan in Haijiang City. The water tribes stayed outside, and Fang Yun himself and other scholars entered the Wenyuan.

There should have been an open square opposite the gate of the Academy of Literature, and inside it was the Holy Temple. However, the square was surrounded by trees, and it was impossible to see what was inside. Everyone could only go to the Holy Temple from the side.

Although Fang Yun did not ask, Jing Liren smiled and said, "I think Mr. Ji knew about the fragments of Wenquxing before he came to the ancient land of Haiya, and even guessed where it was. Yes, this square was rebuilt in the woods, and it is the fragment of Wenquxing. I wonder what you think of the fragment of Wenquxing?"

"Everyone wants it." Fang Yun said.

"Mr. Zhibai is quick-witted!"

Many scholars laughed along, Fang Yun was telling the truth.

"I wonder how Mr. Zhibai will resolve the dispute between the two tribes?" Jing Liren asked.

The others stared at Fang Yun closely.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "These trivial matters will be discussed after the worship of the saints."

Everyone felt relieved, which meant that this "Ji Zhibai" obviously regarded himself as a human being more than Wen Xinglongjue, and did not care much about the mermaids.

Jing Liren was full of smiles, and his attitude became more and more enthusiastic.

After bypassing the woods, everyone soon arrived at the main entrance of the temple.

The temple of Shengyuan Continent is divided into a main hall and two side halls, and it is the same here, but the main hall of the temple here only enshrines the statue of Jing Sheng, and the statues or holy tablets of the human saints are only in the side halls.

After seeing clearly, Fang Yun frowned slightly and stood still.

The others did not speak, waiting quietly.

Every person from Shengyuan Continent would have a similar reaction when they arrived here, and Lei Tingyu was no exception.

Fang Yun said: "It is reasonable for me to worship the saints first."

"Sir, you are from Shengyuan Continent, so it should be so." Jing Liren's words eased the atmosphere on the scene.

Fang Yun went to the side hall to worship the saints first.

Like most holy temples, except for the statues of Confucius and the second sage, the rest are holy tablets, with only their names written on the front.

Looking at these holy tablets, Fang Yun's face flashed with a strange color.

Afterwards, Fang Yun worshipped the saints according to normal etiquette, and then went to the main hall to worship the statue of the Saint of the Well.

The people of the Haiya Alliance stood outside, watching Fang Yun worship respectfully, and were completely relieved. This meant that even if this "Ji Zhibai" had the ability to reach the sky, it would be impossible for him to cause trouble in the ancient land of Haiya. After all, he had already worshipped the Saint of the Well and confirmed his identity, otherwise, the Jing family could use the holy temple or the will of the Saint of the Well to suppress him.
