My wife, the eldest princess of the demon clan, I recite poems and become a sword god

Chapter 8 Lucid Dreaming

Within the territory of the Jin Dynasty, Confucianism was undoubtedly the most powerful force.

Even Li Cheng, the emperor's second uncle, had to respectfully address him as "sir" when he met a contemporary sage from the Confucian sect.

There are many reasons for this.

The most important reason is that,
The Master who founded Confucianism single-handedly killed the demon emperor who invaded the Central Plains at the foot of Luoyang City a thousand years ago.

And this master, who could be called a fierce man from heaven, led the people of Daqian at that time to defeat the demons and banished them to the northern ice field.

Such great achievements naturally gave Confucianism a reputation that would last forever.

In the thousand years after the death of the Master, imperial power changed and dynasties changed.

Confucianism has always maintained a detached status, and a small number of people sometimes kept pace with the imperial power.

As for most of the time, it was completely above the imperial power.

In this world, Confucian scholars are not powerless.

On the contrary, Confucian and Taoist practitioners with awe-inspiring aura are more powerful in the same realm.

Within the Confucian sect, it can be said that there are as many strong men as there are trees, and there are as many masters as there are clouds.

There are a total of 233 academies in Confucian schools, large and small, all over the world.

Among them, the six largest academies are called the Six University Palaces, which are responsible for the foundation and inheritance of Confucianism.

The contemporary sage, Ning Ji, who is a first-class land Confucian sage, was born in Jixia Academy among the six university palaces.

Facing the powerful Confucian sect, if Li Cheng was just an ordinary member of the royal family, he would definitely feel uneasy.

He would be worried that one day, the person sitting on the throne would no longer be named Li.

But now Li Cheng has no such worries at all.

First of all, after the destruction of Prince Ning's Mansion ten years ago, his royal status had been stripped away and he became a so-called commoner.

Furthermore, and most importantly,
In the past ten years, the master who raised Li Cheng and had a father-son relationship with him was named Tang San——

Among the six university palaces, there is the dean of Jiangnan Academy.

A direct disciple of the former Holy Duke.

The junior disciple of the contemporary Holy Duke Ning Ji, he is also the second in line to succeed the Confucian sect.

In other words, Li Cheng was a member of this Confucian sect that made emperors of all dynasties uneasy.

And the location is very forward.

This was probably one of the reasons why the emperor's second uncle did not let him die early.

If Master Tang San could remain safe and sound, Li Cheng would not risk his own life and enter the Kunlun Secret Realm.

But the problem is that due to the exercises they practiced, most of the past presidents of Jiangnan Academy did not survive the age of 49.

Just in response to the words that the Master left behind thousands of years ago that seemed to be a prophecy——

Confucius said: The great road is fifty, the heavens are forty-nine, and people can escape one of them.

For Li Cheng and his master, the only glimmer of hope was on the rock in front of him.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng's gaze sank, and he silently put the Star Picking Stone back in his arms, close to his heart.

Although it seems that this stone has no other purpose except to make fish rush to take the bait.

……

……

In the dead of night, all sounds are silent.

When Li Cheng came out of the hot bath, he found that the candles in the main room where Xiang Yi lived had been extinguished.

Wearing cloggy clogs, he walked back to the west wing of the small courtyard.

Lying on the wooden bed that was not very soft but had a faint fragrance, Li Cheng found it difficult to fall asleep for a while.

He is now in a state of high energy and extreme excitement.

This should belong to the double-edged sword brought about by breaking through the realm.

If he could have been in this state when he was playing games at an Internet cafe in his previous life.

I can't guarantee anything else. In terms of getting first blood, Li Cheng is confident that he can still do it seven times a night.

However, at this moment, he was staring directly at the dust-covering curtains above, silently counting sheep in his mind.

One sheep, two sheep...

I do not know how long it has been.

After counting the Pleasant Goats and Beautiful Goats, and when he was about to count the Boiling Goats, he gave up.

After thinking for a moment, Li Cheng roughly estimated the structure of the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, he quietly circulated his Qi and transmitted a message to the main room diagonally opposite:
"Miss Xiang, are you asleep?"

After waiting for a while, when the other party didn't reply, Li Cheng used his true energy to transmit the message again:

"I have something to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

Hearing the other party's voice that also came back with true energy, Li Cheng knew that Xiang Yi wasn't asleep either.

He considered his words and then sent a message to the other party:

"Miss Xiang, since I have agreed to marry you, then you will be my wife, Mr. Li.

In this case, would it be better for us to change our names?
Calling Miss Xiang like this is too harsh..."

A moment of silence.

When Li Cheng saw that the other party did not reply, he said aloud:

“Then let’s call you Xiao Yizi, or Xiangxiang.

If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a slightly shy and angry voice:

"do not want!"

Li Cheng didn't transmit the message just now, he just lay on the bed and whispered.

But the other party still heard and responded.

This shows that Xiang Yi is using his cultivation at this moment to quietly observe his movements.

Li Cheng was slightly amused in his heart, but he replied seriously:

"Since you don't like it, why don't you call Xiaoyi directly?"

When he said this title, Li Cheng could clearly feel that the Qi that the other party was searching for instantly became slightly disordered.

Like a calm lake suddenly broken by a stone.

After a few breaths of silence.

Li Cheng heard the other party's indifferent tone, but secretly responded arrogantly:

"up to you."

Then, Li Cheng noticed that the energy in the room was suddenly gone.

It seemed that the other party was really ready to sleep now.

Li Cheng quietly turned over and leaned on the buckwheat pillow, trying hard to fall asleep.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how to further his relationship with Xiang Yi.

Don't expect a close acquaintance, just be able to find each other at the critical moment.

Long night.

Li Cheng didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, but he finally fell asleep.

at the same time,

He didn't notice that the star-picking stone placed on his heart flickered a few times like a star.

The light golden lines on its surface gradually become solidified as the shimmer intersects.

……

……

in a dream.

Li Cheng looked at the dazzling sun in the sky and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt something was outrageous.

He could clearly realize at this moment that he was dreaming.

But the problem was, no matter the heat or brightness of the sun, it gave him the same feeling as in reality.

Standing under the sun, Li Cheng wanted to try and see if he would get heatstroke in his dream.

But immediately, he gave up the idea and walked quickly towards the nearby shade.

Because he discovered that there was no energy fluctuation in his body.

in other words,

At this moment, he became an ordinary person without any cultivation.

When he walked into the shadows, he discovered that there was a big tree standing not far in front of him.

Literally.

Judging from the appearance, this giant tree is at least as tall as the landmark building in its previous life.

Looking back, Li Cheng saw that the sun was scorching behind him, and it was all white, and nothing else could be seen.

In desperation, he had to determine his position first.

Then, he walked aimlessly eastward in the shadows along the roots of the giant tree.

Silently calculating the time in his mind, Li Cheng estimated that it would be about two and a half minutes after walking.

Three figures suddenly appeared in front of them out of thin air.

When he approached, he found that the other party was a middle-aged man and two little boys.

After seeing the man's figure and clothes clearly, Li Cheng felt his hair stand on end and was stunned for a moment.

　I’m so cute, I’d like to collect it and read it. Thank you guys.
