Chapter 21: Enlightened by the words of the Confucian sage, Li Chungang returns to the fairyland!

Li Chungang from Tingchao Pavilion in Beiliang is one of the people who knows the general situation.

But when he came to the library in the academy, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This library obviously contained a universe. The Master said it had two floors, but it was even worse than the Tingchao Pavilion in Beiliang.

It is indeed the important place of the academy and the place where the saints of the academy live in seclusion.

However, after walking around, Li Chungang saw in Ruoda's library that apart from the disciples who came to borrow books and study, he only saw a man who was sweeping the library in ordinary clothes.

He never saw the Confucian and Taoist saint he was looking for.

"Is it possible that this cabinet sweeper is the master's senior brother and the contemporary Confucian sage of the academy?"

So Li Chungang turned his attention to Chen Mu who was sweeping the floor, and walked slowly towards him.

A pair of wise eyes that have experienced many vicissitudes of life locked on Chen Mu, wanting to see through him.

But I saw that Chen Mu was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with white beard and hair. He was ordinary. He looked like an ordinary centenarian.

As a saint, it is impossible for his whole body to lose all momentum.

So Li Chungang concluded that Chen Mu was just the sweeper of the academy.

When Chen Mu saw Li Chungang looking at him with bright eyes, he didn't care at all and swept his floor freely.

When I see some books in a mess, I sort them out.

The movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, skillful and natural.

These details made Li Chungang even more convinced that Chen Mu was a truly professional cabinet sweeper and not a contemporary Confucian sage.

"Excuse me, father-in-law, can the Confucian sages of the academy be in the library?"

When Chen Mu heard this, he raised his head and looked at Li Chungang, with a hint of surprise on his face: "Ah, it turns out you are here to find the Confucian sage."

"Yeah."

"It's a pity that the Confucian sage doesn't see foreign guests. You'd better invite them back."

"ah?"

"Why--"

Li Chungang let out a long sigh after hearing this, and then slowly turned around:

"That's fine."

"Since I have no chance to meet the Confucian sage, it seems that I will never be able to return to the land of gods in this life."

When Chen Mu saw this, he thought to himself, this guy is quite straightforward.

He said that the Confucian sage did not see outsiders and left.

In fact, Chen Mu knew everything about Li Chungang's past.

He entered the Vajra Realm at the age of sixteen, the Zhixuan Realm at the age of nineteen, and reached the Celestial Phantasm at the age of twenty-four. While others were still wasting their time in the second-grade minor master realm, Li Chungang was already almost invincible in the world.

He has never failed since his debut in the Tianxiang Realm. His talent is so high that it is so shocking that it makes it difficult for people in the world to raise their heads. It also attracts countless followers to imitate Li Chungang's style.

However, just because he was successful at a young age, his first half of life went too smoothly. After that, he encountered a series of setbacks, which caused him to never recover.

In the first half of his life, Li Chungang fought against all the invincible opponents in the world, but his first defeat was intentional.

Prior to this, Wang Xianzhi, who challenged him, had been defeated by his sword six times.

The seventh time, it was indeed Li Chungang who deliberately gave in to Wang Xianzhi. He was afraid that he would win and could not find any reason not to kill Wang Xianzhi.

So I didn't use the move "Sword Opens the Heaven's Gate".

In the end, Wang Xianzhi broke the wooden horse and ox.

However, what really hit him the hardest was the death of Lu Pao'er.

Li Chungang was very good at swordsmanship, but in the end he still had a difficult relationship.

After he accidentally killed his beloved Lu Pao'er, he became disheartened and retired from the world, remaining decadent for more than twenty years.

A sad relationship is the first blow.

The second heavy blow came from Qi Xuan frame, the reincarnation of Lu Zu.

Back then, in order to save Lupao'er, Li Chungang went to Longhu Mountain alone to obtain the golden elixir.

Facing Li Chungang, Qi Xuan frame, the reincarnation of Lu Zu, did not directly give the elixir to him, but discussed the truth with him.

Only if you win can you give him the elixir.

At that time, Li Chungang, who wanted to save his sweetheart Lupao'er, was uneasy. Who could be Qi Xuanzhen's opponent?

In the end, Qi Xuan frame deliberately took advantage of the loophole.

This unexpected defeat even made Li Chungang doubt his own swordsmanship for the first time.

After messing up his mind of swordsmanship, it directly caused his realm to plummet again.

Later, during the battle against Sui Xiegu, another arm was broken...

Such a life situation is really sad and deplorable.

Chen Mu felt that Li Chungang's life experiences were completely opposite to Wang Xianzhi's.

Li Chungang was a young man who achieved great success and defeated Wang Xianzhi six times.

Wang Xianzhi, on the other hand, was a late bloomer. He failed to challenge Li Chungang six times in a row. After finally succeeding in the seventh challenge, he worked hard and dominated the world for a long time.

To this day, it is still firmly ranked number one in the world.

He is ranked second in the world just to remember Li Chungang's kindness towards Cai Cai before he made that sword move.

Now, looking at Li Chungang's lonely background, Chen Mu couldn't bear it.

Beauty wanes, a hero dies, and most of all, he cannot be saved in this world...

Chen Mu thought for a while and decided to give Li Chungang some hints.

So he said to his back:

"I heard that people who are truly passionate and sincere will have to survive the calamity of love in this life."

"Huh?" When Li Chungang heard this, his body suddenly trembled. He stopped, looked back, and looked at Chen Mu with some surprise: "Old man, how do you say this?"

Facing Li Chungang's questioning, Chen Mu ignored it.

He lowered his head and continued to clean the library.

When Li Chungang saw this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

I thought the old man sweeping the pavilion would say something enlightening.

But looking at it now, I realized that I was just overthinking it.

Shaking his head and giving a wry smile, Li Chungang turned around and left.

Chen Mu suddenly spoke at this time and whispered softly:

"One farewell to the capital and three changes to the fire, the cliff of heaven has stepped on the world. Still a smile is the warmth of spring. Wulan Zhenxinghua Village, the festival is Qiuyun."

"The lonely sail sails out that night to bid farewell to the pale moon and the faint clouds. There is no need for green eyebrows before you. Life is like a journey against the odds, and I am also a traveler."

Li Chungang listened to Chen Mu's poems.

But I just thought that this was just a sentiment of the old man sweeping the pavilion, and didn't think much about it.

After gathering his mood, Li Chungang went to see his master to say goodbye: "It's a pity that the saint doesn't want to see me."

He thought that this trip to the library was in vain and decided to leave.

"I told you, senior brother, that he doesn't see outsiders."

However, the master's words did not end: "It's getting late now, so you can stay here for one night and it won't be too late to leave tomorrow."

"this……"

"Although senior brother said that he won't see outsiders, Confucian sages are always there when the opportunity arises. If you stay one more night, you might be able to realize something."

After listening to the Master's words, Li Chungang felt that it made sense, so he first stayed in the academy guest room.

In the dead of night, Li Chungang suddenly remembered the lyrics sung by Chen Mu

"One farewell to the capital and three changes to the fire, the cliff of heaven has stepped on the world. Still a smile is the warmth of spring. Wulan Zhenxinghua Village, the festival is Qiuyun."

"The lonely sail sails out that night to bid farewell to the pale moon and the faint clouds. There is no need for green eyebrows before you. Life is like a journey against the odds, and I am also a traveler."

Gradually, Li Chungang was immersed in the artistic conception of the words.

Li Chungang had an epiphany:

"The road of life is always sad, and everyone is just looking for happiness in the midst of suffering."

"No matter how brilliant life is, for this huge world, it is just a drop in the ocean."
