Chapter 1196 - Changing Scriptures (2/2)
“What happened today might not be a bad thing.”
When Qingxuan said this, Taihuang’s brow rose up. He looked at his Senior Brother with a weird and questioning expression.
“The Cloud World has lost balance. That person should appear soon.”
“Oh?” Taihuang squinted, “Was it the thing Senior Brother Cibei suspected 8,000 years ago? Does that person really exist?”
“It should be true! Actually, even if Cibei didn’t say it, I had this suspicion. However, Senior Brother was too anxious and became enemies with that person, pushing the entire Taoist Faction into an irrecoverable position!”
Qingxuan laughed coldly, “So, we just have to watch from the sides.”
Taihuang was in deep thought. If that person really existed, then Cibei not appearing in the Cloud World for 8,000 years did make sense…
Was Senior Brother Cibei still alive?

Within the Confucian Temple, Zhu Zi was stunned as he sat there. His originally sharp and deep eyes had lost their luster.
A while later, he came to his senses due to the discussion noises around.
“Heaven and Earth has been locked down. Yuanchen Emperor is most probably dead.”
“Is this how evil can’t win the righteous? How could the Saint Ruler die to the immoral Ruler? How amusing and ironic! We all helped Yuanchen Emperor, we can be considered his lackey…”
“The 12 Copper Men changing sides… Is that the will of the Heavens? Does the Heavens hate us which is why we face such problems? That Common People’s Path will rise and we will fall?”
“That is not the case! Even if someone is wrong, it isn’t the ancient Saints and not our classics, it is us.”
“Actually, thinking about it, how much have we understood from the scriptures and books passed down? Did we really understand what the Saints said?”
Zhu Zi instantly came to his senses. His close to collapsing heart felt warm once more, the ice-cold heart relaxed a little.
That’s right. It was far from the time to admit defeat! If one was wrong, then just change, there was nothing wrong with that.
He always loved to learn and also misunderstood classics and was scolded by his seniors.
As long as he still had the heart to reach the Dao, to chase the real way to rule, he could wash away the humiliation of today.
However, when he tried to move, he felt like it was like needles stabbing his body. Only then did he notice that his Dao Foundations had shaken to such a serious level.
At this moment, his injuries were worse than when he fought Xiuguan for 10 days and nights.
He didn’t care about the pain. He forced himself to stand up and he still stood proudly.
“They can’t be wrong, their thinking will never be wrong. Benevolence, rights, rites, intelligence, trust, mercy, loyalty, and filial piety will never be wrong!”
His clear and cold voice was like thunder, such that everyone stopped discussing and they all looked over with a weird gaze.
“We are in the wrong, chasing out all other schools of thoughts and only believing in ourselves. Thus, we worked with those dynasties and aristocratic families, sacrificing too much. I am also in the wrong, the Gan Emperor is correct…”
When he said this, Zhu Zi didn’t care about all the gazes from all around. Despise, annoyance, respect, etc., and he smiled.
“I will leave the Imperial City and head back to Bailu Heavenly Cave. The Confucian Faction teachings are incompatible with the world. To prevent teaching disciples wrongly, we will close for 20 years. We will invite all Confucians to study Great Gan rule and change our scriptures!”
The Confucian Temple was totally silent. Everyone was quiet. Only some had respectful looks in their eyes.
As expected from Zhu Zi, as expected from the Saint!
