Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise for me to get an asparagus.

Otherwise, Zhang Hang would never have been able to get through this easily.

"Master Ning, please sit here and rest for a while. I'm going to ask people to prepare a banquet. I'll also notify my family and ask them to send the cultural treasures." Zhang Hang said to Ning Chen without changing his expression.

"good."

Ning Chen also nodded in agreement.

Ji Zhen listened confusedly and couldn't help but ask: "What cultural treasure? Did I miss something?"

Zhang Hang said casually: "I didn't miss anything. It's just that Lord Ning made a holy poem and gave birth to an asparagus.

Lord Ning originally planned to give me the Zhang family, but how could I take advantage of Lord Ning?

So I plan to exchange three cultural treasures with Lord Ning."

After speaking, Zhang Hang also deliberately showed the asparagus bamboo given by Ning Chen to Ji Zhen.

Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

Ji Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the asparagus in Zhang Hang's hand.

This is a genuine treasure of the Holy Path.

Three great Confucian treasures, definitely a profit.

Whether this kind of cultural treasure is used to advance to the fourth level, or sent to assist the fourth level to enter the third level, the effect is extraordinary.

The Zhang family definitely made a profit this time.

No matter how greedy Ji Zhen is, this asparagus has nothing to do with Ji Zhen or Yunshan Academy.

Seeing Ji Zhen's deflated appearance, Zhang Hang's face finally looked better.

Zhang Hang quickly ordered everything, but the food and wine still had to wait a while before they were ready.

Taking advantage of this waiting time, Zhang Hang also discussed with Ning Chen about climbing tomorrow.

Originally, Zhang Hang and the others were also selecting people who could take the lead tomorrow.

Now that Ning Chen is here, there is no need to choose this candidate again.

"Two masters, it's not impossible for me to lead the way up the mountain. But two masters, can you tell this junior. What is the real purpose of the Zhu family when the two masters unite with the Wu Dynasty to suppress it?"

Although Ning Chen and Bai Yaoyao had analyzed it before.

But analysis is analysis, and we still have to ask the parties concerned about the actual situation.

Zhang Hang listened to Ning Chen's question and said, "Weren't you ordered to come from Fengjing to assist us?"

Ning Chen shook his head and said: "I was in Jingzhou before, dealing with the Red Moon issue. Now that the Red Moon crisis is over, I was ordered by my teacher to collect the souls of mountains and rivers and enter the mountains and rivers realm."

After listening to Ning Chen's words, Zhang Hang suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder you don't know about this. Since you don't know, I will tell you."

Just when Zhang Hang was about to tell Ning Chen the reason for the incident, Ji Zhen, who was silent on the side, suddenly interrupted and asked Ning Chen with a strange expression: "You said you came from Jingzhou?"

Ning Chen nodded: "Yes, is there any problem?"

What's the problem? Of course there is a problem.

From Jingzhou to Wenzhou, you will pass through Qingzhou Mansion.

Just two days ago, they felt abnormal fluctuations in Confucianism and Taoism in the direction of Qingzhou.

Then among Confucianism and Taoism, there was an additional holy way of poetry.

Think about it again, Ning Chen wrote three holy poems in a row.

It is self-evident who opened up the sacred path of poetry.

Zhang Hang also thought of what Ji Zhen was thinking.

He also looked at Ning Chen in shock.

Mo Kairan, on the other hand, had no idea why the two of them were so shocked.

"So the holy way of poetry was pioneered by you, Master Ning, during the Qing Zhou Dynasty?" Zhang Hang asked Ning Chen.

Ning Chen said modestly: "It can only be said to be a coincidence, that's all."

Ning Chen said it easily. Zhang Hang and Ji Zhen looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.

Speaking of Ning Chen's teaching of the Hundred Schools of Holy Way before, although this touched them, at least they still retained some dignity of Confucianism and Taoism.

When Ning Chen called them Master, they responded with confidence.

Now Ning Chen directly extended his hand into Confucianism and Taoism, directly opening up the holy path of poetry.

Although Ning Chen did not take the holy way of poetry out of Confucianism and Taoism.

But if Ning Chen calls them master again in the future, they will really have no confidence in agreeing.

Seeing the embarrassment between the two of them, Ning Chen took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Master Zhang, let's continue talking about what happened just now."

"Okay." Zhang Hang's promise was obviously lacking in confidence.

After calming down his emotions for a while, Zhang Hang continued to tell Ning Chen why the three families joined forces this time.

After listening to what Zhang Hang said, Ning Chen knew.

Although most of the guesses are similar to those analyzed by Ning Chen and Bai Yaoyao.

But there are still some small parts that Ning Chen didn't expect.

For example, the reason why the three families did not want the Zhu family to enjoy this luck bonus exclusively.

Another point is that they are worried that the Zhu family will use moral articles to lock up the aura of Daishan.

If the aura of Daishan is really locked up by the Zhu family’s philosophical articles.

From now on, if all the Confucian scholars in the world want to go into the mountains and rivers and come to Mount Dai to collect spiritual essence,

I can only write theoretical articles.

Although Confucianism today has gone a bit astray.

But they still won't accept such an extreme thing as solemnizing one family.

What's more, even if it is based on their own interests, they will never accept such a situation.

"Can the Zhu family really lock up the mountain spirit?" Ning Chen asked Zhang Hang and Ji Zhen.

Ning Chen didn't know this question clearly, it was just Ning Chen's simple feeling.

Can a mountain spirit, a unique creature of heaven and earth, really be locked away?

Zhang Hang explained to Ning Chen: "Regarding this matter, it is very difficult for us to judge the possibility.

But even if there is only a slight possibility, we cannot take such a risk.

It's a small matter that the Zhu family locked up the mountains, but it's a big deal that Confucianism and Taoism are compressed."

Ning Chen nodded and asked again: "Does the Zhu family not know the possible consequences of this matter? Doesn't the Zhu family know that doing this will be a loss to the strength of the entire human race?"

Zhang Hang said to Ning Chen: "How could we not have communicated with the Zhu family about this matter?

But the Zhu family has a completely negative attitude towards this matter itself, and the Zhu family does not admit that they intend to lock up Shanling."

After a pause, Zhang Hang continued: "At the same time, the Zhu family also said that if they, the Zhu family, can really lock up the mountain spirit with their articles of truth.

For Confucian cultivators and the human race, it is actually a good thing.

Because for the next Confucianism cultivation, you only need to practice Taoist articles, and you can successfully enter the realm of mountains and rivers.

The Zhu family is more likely to rely on this to give birth to another human half-saint.

This will not weaken the strength of the human race in any way, but will actually enhance it."

Ning Chen frowned slightly after listening to Zhang Hang's words: "Sacrificing the basics and only focusing on the immediate interests is completely overdrawing the future potential of the human race."

Zhang Hang nodded and responded: "Our thoughts are the same as yours, Mr. Ning."

"If I wasn't here today, what would be your plan?"

After a pause, Ning Chen added: "I just want to hear it and see if it can be used as an alternative."

Zhang Hang said: "There is no harm in telling Mr. Ning about this matter. We have agreed with Magistrate Mo on the plan. Moreover, Mr. Ning's participation only gives our original plan a greater chance of success."

Mo Kairan nodded and said to Ning Chen: "I am indeed aware of the plan, and I have also reported it to the court. The court also agrees with this plan."

After Mo Kairan finished speaking, Zhang Hang took over and continued: "Our original plan was to open up a relatively easy-to-travel route to the east with a lot of culture this time.

At the same time, when climbing the mountain, we will let our students from the Zhang family and Yunshan Academy help as many people as possible reach the top of the mountain safely and quickly.

At that time, we will use our numerical advantage to absorb as much of the aura of Daishan as possible.

As long as we absorb enough aura, the Zhu family will not be able to lock the aura of Daishan."

After listening to this, Ning Chen felt that although this method was stupid, it was also the most effective.

But what Ning Chen didn't understand was if it was to allow more people to reach the top of the mountain safely and quickly.

Then we just need to send more experts to protect us, right?
