Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 14

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The Great Confucian Scholar!

This is the highest position of Confucianism in the world!

Above the great Confucian scholar is already the saint.

In today’s era, there are no saints in Confucianism, no deity in Taoism, and no Buddha in Buddhism.

It can be said that the Great Confucian Scholar is the top group of people in this world.

Such a person, actually called to see me? Why exactly?

Chen Luo was puzzled.

However, even when at a loss, Chen Luo still followed Cai Tongchen’s instructions, quickly sorted out his appearance, and followed him to the county office.

The ragged boy who was on the verge of dying was naturally handed over to Xiaohuan to take care of.

…

“You are Chen Luo?” Wei Yan was writing when Cai Tongchen brought Chen Luo back to the county office. He put down the brush in his hand, made Chen Luo stand up, who bowed and saluted, glanced up and down, and sighed, “Unfortunately, he’s not my Confucian disciple.”

Chen Luo helplessly smiled bitterly: “The younger generation is poor in talent, and also lacking the talent for reading, can’t produce True Noble Qi.”

“It doesn’t matter…” Wei Yan motioned at Chen Luo to sit down and said gently, “True Noble Qi is just a way of cultivation, and it is not necessary to do learning.”

“I heard that you have a book spirit that can eat ghosts and explore the soul, I wonder if I can meet him?”

Chen Luo was stunned, this great scholar wants to see Zhong Kui? He glanced at Cai Tongchen, Cai Tongchen nodded and motioned Chen Luo to do as he did.

As Chen Luo softly shouted “Zhong Kui”, a black mist appeared out of nowhere, and Zhong Kui emerged from the mist. He bowed to Cai Tongchen and Wei Yan and stood beside Chen Luo.

“Wonderful…” Wei Yan seemed to have seen a peerless beauty. He got up and took two steps closer. His eyes almost turned into emeralds, and he just stared at Zhong Kui and looked up and down.

“As a spirit, he belongs to the spiritual family, and he has the power of heaven…” Wei Yan suddenly looked at Chen Luo, “Can he eat ghosts?”

Chen Luo looked at the strange Confucian scholar and nodded slightly.

Wei Yan said “wait a moment”, then stepped out and disappeared into the county office.

“Uncle…” Chen Luo looked at Cai Tongchen, who was embarrassed, “What does Wei Great Confucian mean?”

Cai Tongchen shook his head: “I don’t know either. Before, when I reported the ins and outs of the literary heart to my teacher and when my teacher heard about your book spirit, he fell into deep thought, then finally asked me to call you…”

Before Cai Tongchen’s words were finished, Wei Yan appeared in front of Chen Luo again. With a flick of his hand, two black shadows were thrown out of Wei Yan’s sleeves. They turned out to be two wandering spirits.

“This is a wild ghost at the mass grave outside the city. You let this book spirit eat two and I’ll see…”

Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, seeing Wei Yan’s serious face, not joking at all, turned his head and glanced meaningfully at Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui was also stunned. Is this the rhythm of managing meals?

However, when Chen Luo gave him an order, he didn’t refuse. He strode up to the two wandering spirits, grabbed one with one hand, and opened his mouth to eat.

Zhong Kui finished eating the two wandering spirits, licked his lips, hiccupped, and returned to Chen Luo’s side to stand still.

“Wonderful, wonderful…” Wei Yan laughed out loud, and then suddenly bent over to give a salute to Chen Luo, startling both Chen Luo and Cai Tongchen. Chen Luo flashed sideways, Cai Tongchen hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Yan, and asked, “Teacher, what are you doing? Luo’er is a junior, I can’t afford such a big gesture from you!”

“Get up, get up, get up!” Wei Yan waved his hand and shook off Cai Tongchen, “You are good at theories, but you are negligent in the ways of the world. What a big thing this is, you didn’t even notice it!”

　 Cai Tongchen was also at a loss, not knowing what he had overlooked.

Wei Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Luo: “Little friend, talk to me in another place!”

Chen Luo only felt as if he was weightless for a moment, and then when he opened his eyes, he was actually standing high in the sky, with an ancient carriage red color and black veil under his feet. The Great Confucian Wei Yan stood beside him, Zhong Kui stood behind him, with a hint of protection.

“Mr. Wei, you are…”

Wei Yan looked down and interrupted Chen Luo’s words: “Little friend, do you know the three disasters in the world?”

Chen Luo shook his head.

“Barbarian calamity, ghost calamity, demon calamity!” Wei Yan’s eyes suddenly became far-reaching, looking to the horizon, “There is no need to say much about barbarian calamity and demon calamity, since the establishment of the human race, the barbarians in the north fought against the demons, and everyone knows it.”

“Only this calamity, the subjects on which the Masters do not talk about are extraordinary things, feats of strength, disorder, and spiritual beings, and very few people know about it.”

“Even if they do know about it, they can only know the surface of things.”

Wei Yan retracted his gaze to the horizon, looked down again, and asked, “What did you see?”

Chen Luo was full of doubts and looked down, only to see that below it was Wan’an County, where the nightly lights were just beginning. People who went out to work came home one after another, and the restaurants and bars were crowded.

“Thousands of lights, the country’s peace and people’s safety?”

Wei Yan chuckled lightly, waved his sleeve, and a blue light shot into Chen Luo’s body. A blue light flashed in Chen Luo’s eyes, and said, “Look again!”

　 Chen Luo looked down again, and his expression changed. At this time, he saw a cloud of black mist floating in Wan’an County, and there were countless groups outside the city.

　 “These are… ghosts?”

　 Wei Yan sighed, nodded and said, “That’s right, it’s a ghost!”

　 “The sages have said that there is a river of living beings in the invisible place of this world. When a living being dies, the light of wisdom dissipates and turns into a pure spiritual body, which can be attracted by the river of living beings and thrown into the river. Or it can be taken to  another place by the river of living creatures, fall down again, reincarnate into another life, or go away with the river of living creatures and enter the legendary underworld.”

　 When Chen Luo heard this, doubts arose in his heart. According to Wei Yan’s argument, isn’t this world without the underworld and the six reincarnations?

At this moment, Zhong Kui’s voice transmission suddenly sounded in Chen Luo’s heart: “My lord, do you remember that this spirit said before that this side of the Netherland is a bit strange?”

“This spirit tried to enter the underworld, but it seems to be blocked by a force. It seems that the underworld is not known to this spirit, as it can attract ghost creatures.”

　 “This spirit could not perceive the breath of reincarnation.”

　 Chen Luo was surprised and looked at Wei Yan; “Then how did these ghosts come? Didn’t they enter the river of living beings?”

Wei Yan shook his head: “Whether people, demons, or savages, there is aura of wisdom in their souls. Take people as an example, after a person’s soul leaves the body, the aura of wisdom should dissipate. But there are some people who either have obsessions, or If you have desire, you can hold on to the last bit of aura, and you will not be attracted by the river of living beings.”

“Over time, when the spiritual light dissipates but is forgotten by the river of living beings, it turns into a ghost.”

　 “Ghosts need the spirit of life to survive, that is why ghosts harm people.”

　 “The base of creatures in this world is too large. Even if only one percent or even one-thousandth of the souls are turned into ghosts, over the years, they are still a mighty crowd of ghosts. Even if most of them are the lowest-level wandering ghosts, they can still be harmful, and that is the ghost calamity!” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
