Chapter 118 My enemy is the whole world (asking for monthly tickets)
Three years passed after Xiao Mo returned to Bailu Academy.
After the Mo Lake was built, the dean of Bailu Academy was very generous and gave the ownership of the barren mountain to Xiao Mo and Bai Rushue.
But they didn't consider the mountain their private territory.
If the disciples of Bailu Academy want to see the Ink Lake, they can do so.
As for the literary and Taoist luck condensed in Mo Lake, they naturally could not take it away. The moment the lake water left Mo Lake, it became just ordinary lake water.
However, due to the existence of Mo Lake, the literary and Taoist aura of that barren mountain has become increasingly strong, even comparable to some of the main peaks of Bailu Academy.
And this mountain also has a name, called Baimo Peak.
Every spring or when it snows heavily, students from Bailu Academy will go to Mohu Lake, either for an outing or to enjoy the snow, which is quite meaningful.
During these three years, Xiao Mo continued to go to Mr. Qi's courtyard to attend classes as usual.
But most of the time, Xiao Mo sat in the bamboo forest in a daze.
Xiao Mo wants to create Mr. Yangming's philosophy of mind in this world.
But Xiao Mo discovered that many things could not be understood just by knowing them.
Not to mention that when Xiao Mo was on Blue Sea Star, his understanding of Yangming's philosophy of mind was one-sided.
So Xiao Mo planned to follow Mr. Yangming's path again.
Let’s start with the bamboo.
But Xiao Mo's Gezhu is not just "Gezhu".
After two lifetimes of accumulation, Xiao Mo has a deep foundation in Confucianism.
Although Xiao Mo seemed to be looking at bamboo every day, in fact, Xiao Mo was thinking more about what he had learned and Mr. Yangming's philosophy of mind.
Xiao Mo tried to use his own knowledge as the foundation and Mr. Yangming's philosophy of mind as the direction, and integrate the two.
Bai Ruxue knew that Xiao Mo was seeking enlightenment.
So Bai Ruxue didn't bother Xiao Mo.
But every day, Bai Ruxue would bring food and vegetables to Xiao Mo.
If Bai Ruxue was really bored, she would sit not far away and look at Xiao Mo from afar.
Bai Ruxue really liked watching Xiao Mo sitting in the bamboo forest thinking, and she found that she could never get tired of watching him.
When she was free, Bai Ruxue picked up a brush and ink and tried to paint the scene of Xiao Mo gaining enlightenment in the bamboo forest.
However, Bai Ruxue felt that her painting was too ugly and was not as good-looking as Xiao Mo himself. She didn't want to ask Shang Jiuli for help, so she gave up.
Another half a year passed, and Xiao Mo in the bamboo forest felt as if he was about to understand something.
But that feeling is like an illusory butterfly. You stretch out your hand and seem to be able to catch it, but the butterfly slips away silently through your fingers.
Later, Xiao Mo sat in the bamboo forest, as if he had passed away, motionless.
As time goes by.
In his eyes, what he saw seemed not to be bamboo, but the path he had been looking for.
"How long has it been since Xiao Mo left the bamboo forest?"
On this day, when Mr. Qi was teaching Luo Yang and Shang Jiuli, he asked them.
Luo Yang shook his head. "Junior Brother hasn't left the bamboo forest for half a year. Miss Bai said that Junior Brother has entered the Dao and forgotten himself. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything in half a year. She doesn't dare to disturb him."
"Is that so?"
Mr. Qi stroked his beard.
"It's not easy to embark on a completely new path, and the path he is going to take is destined to be bumpy."
"Why not?" Shang Jiuli poured a cup of tea, his expression tinged with melancholy. "In this world, there are too many old scholars who don't know how to adapt. To them, Junior Brother's path is destroying the path they have firmly established their entire lives."
"But even so, Junior Brother will continue to move forward." Luo Yang looked towards the direction of the bamboo forest.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Qi Daoming shook his head and took out two letters from his sleeve. "This is intelligence from the demon world. The human race and the demon race are negotiating again. What do you think?"
"What else can we do?" Shang Jiuli said speechlessly, "There's no point in talking about this. It's just that the Demonic World isn't ready, and neither is our Wanfa World. We're all negotiating on the surface, but in reality, we're all preparing for a war."
"Let's talk about fighting. From the beginning when the two worlds were rumored to be going to war, until now, nearly twenty years have passed without us noticing, and the fighting has not yet started." Luo Yang held the long sword in his hand.
Qi Daoming smiled and said, "After all, this is a war between these two worlds. The bigger the war, the more forces need to be coordinated, and the longer the preparation time. For ordinary people, twenty years is indeed too long, but for us cultivators, these twenty years are just a blink of an eye.
You all should prepare yourselves, no one knows when the war will break out."
"Yes!" Luo Yang and Shang Jiuli both stood up and saluted the teacher.
Just as the two of them stood up, Luo Yang and Shang Jiuli seemed to have sensed something and looked towards the bamboo forest.
At the same time, everyone in Bailu Academy looked in one direction.
Gusts of breeze blew out from the bamboo forest, carrying with them the fragrance of bamboo and the scent of ink from turning pages.
Above the bamboo forest, clouds continued to gather and formed the shape of a black dragon.
Celestial music sounded in the air, as if a saint was reciting a book in his hands.
Most scholars saw this sudden vision and had no idea what was going on.
But Mr. Shuyuan knew that this was someone who had taken a completely new path of Confucianism.
Although this Confucian doctrine is still very immature, like a newborn baby, it symbolizes new hope.
As to whether this small road can become a broad road, no one knows.
In the bamboo forest, the scholar in green robes slowly opened his eyes.
"Xiao Mo, you succeeded."
Bai Ruxue, who had been waiting not far away, was filled with joy when she saw Xiao Mo wake up.
At this time, the aura emitted by Xiao Mo had reached the Golden Elixir level, and there was the rhythm of the Great Dao on his body, giving people an extremely comfortable feeling.
"I've only taken the initial steps. As for whether this path will succeed, I don't know."
Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head, looking straight into Ruxue's eyes.
"Ruxue, I have now attained enlightenment. According to what Mr. Qi said, after attaining enlightenment, I will leave the White Deer Academy and travel the world to debate with the world's great scholars."
"Yes, no matter where you are, I will accompany you." Bai Ruxue nodded.
"But Ruxue, my path goes against the Confucianism in many people's minds. Many people will criticize me, and countless people will stand against me. I'm afraid it will affect you."
"I don't care."
Bai Ruxue looked directly into Xiao Mo's eyes and said as a matter of course.
"If the whole world stands against you, then my enemy is the whole world."
