Chapter 251

Originally, the location for this debate should have been Furong Garden.

But as Yin Qi became famous in one exam and became the living "sage" of the current age, his debate with the great Confucian scholars of the Hundred Sages naturally received expectations from all sides.

Even the Emperor of Gan spoke personally, requesting to be the referee for this debate.

The Emperor of Gan naturally had his own little thoughts; he hoped that when the two sides were evenly matched, he could quietly favor the great Confucian scholars of the Hundred Sages, thereby suppressing the famous Yin Qi.

As a ruler of a country, he would never allow Yin Qi to become a "sage."

Otherwise, the ruler would not be the ruler!

Thus, this debate was transferred to the Ministry of Rites.

The Minister of Rites was Li Shenguang, who attached great importance to this debate; after negotiating with both sides, it was decided to place the debate location on the square in front of the Imperial Palace.

This square covered an area of a thousand acres, and it could easily accommodate a million people at the same time.

……

This day, just as the sun rose, the Imperial Palace square was already crowded with people.

Besides scholars, there were also a large number of commoners watching the fun.

Near the city gate, there was already a high platform built with bamboo, with a hundred chairs on it.

Ninety-nine on the east side, one on the west side.

As for the Emperor of Gan, Hong Xuanji, and others, they were on the city wall of the Imperial City.

On the left and right of the high platform, many viewing platforms were also built, all prepared for famous scholars from all sides, and they were already full of people, all of them in high hats and wide robes, with elegant temperaments.

The Eternal Kingdom was hidden in the void, and Su Mu asked: "Hong Yi, you are now also a Sub-Sage; who do you think will win today's debate?"

Hong Yi shook his head and said: "Reasonably speaking, writing a good article doesn't necessarily mean the meaning is the deepest, and the debate not only tests the meaning, but also tests wit and eloquence.

These great Confucian scholars of the Hundred Sages are all well-read and knowledgeable.

If they join forces, they should be able to win.

But Yin Qi is ultimately an anomaly and cannot be inferred by common sense.

I have a strong intuition that in today's debate, Yin Qi will not only win, but will win extremely brilliantly."

At the end, his voice was extremely heavy.

And helpless.

He now doubted whether Yin Qi had really been possessed?

A powerhouse who is possessed can only recover his cultivation, but high cultivation doesn't mean knowledgeable.

Especially being able to write a sage article, unless it's a reincarnation of the Hundred Sages.

Su Mu chuckled: "If Yin Qi wins, he won't be far from death. We were worried earlier that he would join forces with the Emperor of Gan to deal with our Supreme Dao, but now it seems we have nothing to worry about."

Hong Yi was slightly stunned, and then he understood her meaning.

If Yin Qi wins, he will truly be a sage on the spot, becoming the leader of the literary world, and the Hundred Sages will also have to bow their heads; by then, his words might even be more effective than the Emperor of Gan's.

But the Emperor of Gan is ambitious and ambitious; would he allow such a thing to happen?

……

There is no lack of smart people in the world, and many people have seen this point.

Yin Qi is naturally no exception.

It's just that with his current cultivation and foundation, he no longer needs to hide.

Surrounded by the women and Yin Tiancheng and others, he arrived in front of the high platform; at this time, the great Confucian scholars of the Hundred Sages had also arrived, and the team of ninety-nine people was quite large.

"Time is up, please enter the debate!"

On the high platform, Li Shenguang shouted.

His voice was clear and spread far away in the square.

"Please!"

Yin Qi bowed slightly and then gestured with his right hand.

"Please!"

The great Confucian scholars of the Hundred Sages were also people with demeanor; at least in front of people, they couldn't lose their etiquette, and they bowed back one after another.

Step! Step! Step!

They walked up the stairs and climbed onto the high platform.

These great Confucian scholars of the Hundred Sages were the elite of the Hundred Schools; they all learned from their ancestors and would never easily cultivate the Dao before accumulating enough foundation, so they were all ordinary people.

But once they cultivated the Dao, at least they were the kind who had passed the thunder tribulation.

……

On the high platform.

Yin Qi sat opposite the great Confucian scholars of the Hundred Sages.

Li Shenguang looked at everyone on both sides and said in a clear voice: "Everyone is already on the stage, so let the debate begin; who will start?"

"I'll do it!"

Yin Qi said first: "I wrote a book in my spare time and would like to ask you gentlemen to appreciate it; what do you think?"

"Humph, self-contained family words?"

An old Confucian scholar snorted coldly and sneered: "The old man wants to see how you wrote this book, that you dare to take it out here!"

The expressions of the other great Confucian scholars also looked bad, because in their view, this was Yin Qi already comparing himself to their ancestors, otherwise he wouldn't have taken it out on such an occasion.

Today's so-called debate was centered on Yin Qi's book.

Yin Qi's self-contained family theory, and what they had to do was to pick out flaws and argue.

This was a collision of the Hundred Schools of thought!

The Emperor of Gan raised his eyebrows, revealing some smiles, and the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed.

Hong Xuanji was no exception, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, containing sarcasm.

In their view, Yin Qi was too unwise.

As a master of Neo-Confucianism, Hong Xuanji also had his own theory, which was not written overnight, but constantly polished, constantly perfected under the criticism and suggestions of all parties, and finally reached perfection.

But Yin Qi wanted to take out his own work as soon as he came up; this was not only despising the great Confucian scholars of the Hundred Sages, but also seeking his own death.

Li Shenguang saw that the great Confucian scholars of the Hundred Sages had no objections, so he said: "Earl, please take out the book for them to read."

"No need!"

Yin Qi said, pointing his finger, and a light shot out, turning into a light suspended in mid-air, on which appeared characters the size of palms, words like pearls, blooming with light.

Li Shenguang couldn't help but look up and recite softly: "I Ching: First Hexagram: Qian · Qian is Heaven · Qian above Qian below.

Qian: Origin, Prosperity, Advantage, Firmness.

Initial Nine: Hidden dragon, do not use.

Nine Two: Dragon in the field, it is advantageous to see the great man.

Nine Three: The gentleman is diligent all day, cautious in the evening, danger, no blame.

Nine Four: Or leaping in the abyss, no blame.

Nine Five: Flying dragon in the sky, it is advantageous to see the great man.

Upper Nine: Arrogant dragon has regrets.

Use Nine: See a group of dragons without a leader, auspicious."

Reciting softly, Li Shenguang's voice became more and more solemn, and there was also doubt.

The light in his eyes was bright, and he only felt that this was truly words like pearls, mysterious and mysterious; he seemed to understand something, but seemed not to understand, but one point could be confirmed, that these few hexagram lines described the Dao of Heaven and Man.

A few sentences could cover the Dao of Heaven and Man; this was how terrifying!

The great Confucian scholars of the Hundred Sages also changed their expressions; they were full of contempt and anger at first, but soon stood up in unison, their expressions changing constantly.

"I Ching! I Ching, how could it be the I Ching!"

The Emperor of Gan exclaimed, stood up abruptly, clenched his fists secretly, and his whole body tensed.

Hong Xuanji was the same; his eyes were cold, and his chill was pressing.

This pair of monarch and minister had obtained countless treasures and mastered countless secrets, naturally knowing that this epoch was about to end, and the variable gestated by countless epochs was in the word "Yi."

Now Yin Qi wrote the "I Ching," and it was so profound, even exceeding the "Creation Heavenly Book" and other scriptures.

Doesn't this mean that Yin Qi is the Son of the Epoch!
