Chapter 6: The Disturbance of the Sanctuary

The county magistrate is currently in the main hall. The magistrate asked me if anyone in the residence has shown signs of intelligence today. I truthfully replied that it was the young master Su Wen who had shown such signs. Upon hearing this, the magistrate clapped his hands in delight, laughed three times, and said that he had come specifically to congratulate the young master on his display of intelligence

At that moment, a young servant rushed in, breathless, and exclaimed: "Madam! Madam! Great news! Great news... The county magistrate has come to visit..."

Mother! Mother...

In an instant, the Su Liu family was filled with joy. Although there are not many who are recognized for their intelligence by the Grand Academician, there are usually two or three each year in Fengle County. However, it has never happened that someone recognized for their intelligence could attract the county magistrate to come and offer congratulations. This is indeed a great honor in Fengle County

Filial piety? It is difficult to fulfill both filial piety and brotherly love. Mother, what should I do? At this moment, Su Wen's tender heart felt somewhat lost

My son, with the words of a grand scholar, has opened his mind, and it has even startled the county magistrate. Hurry, hurry... Wen'er, you should go with your mother to the main hall to express gratitude to the magistrate.

Yes. Zhi Jin, I have not only gained wisdom through books and diagrams, but also through sacred words. Throughout history, only the sub-saint Mencius and the semi-saint Zisi have achieved this.

"Lord Xu, with the official seal wielding power, could it be that the barbarian tribes are invading? Should we hastily report this to our superiors?" County Magistrate Li Ting said in a state of panic

Ordinary individuals can generally obtain only a few strands of sacred power from the Great Wall. Only by passing the imperial examinations and becoming a student can one acquire a brick of sacred power. A scholar can obtain ten bricks, a recommended candidate one wall, a successful candidate ten walls, a grand scholar twenty walls, and a Hanlin fifty walls. Only a great Confucian can possess a city of sacred power, a half-saint ten cities, and a sub-saint over a hundred cities. As for true saints, there is only Confucius. No one knows the extent of Confucius's vast sacred power; the entire Great Wall was forged by Confucius gathering the strength of all beings.

In the Jian'an Prefecture, the governor Yuan Tianzhang, holding the official seal, was also taken aback: "In my jurisdiction, there is actually a youth who speaks with the wisdom surpassing that of a great scholar?"

"The words of the sage are enlightening! At the very least, they are the words of a quasi-saint, hahaha... Is my Wu Kingdom about to produce a sage?" Sun Jianshi felt no regret for the broken celestial pen that connected him to the books; instead, he laughed heartily at the sky.

"Don't even think about it! Wen'er, have you considered for whom Mother is treating Su Lin this way? Isn't it all for you? As long as Su Lin has not come of age and gained wisdom, the status of the gentry will belong to you, and the Su family will be under your control in the future. Mother is doing all this for you, yet you fail to understand her intentions. Don't you think that makes you unfilial?" Su Liu was striking the headboard.

To my surprise, I have obtained two bricks of holy power through the enlightenment of the sacred words

After a considerable period of time, Su Lin finally absorbed the vast and powerful holy energy. The saints transformed holy energy into holy bricks to construct the Great Wall, thus the most fundamental unit of measurement for holy energy is the brick. Above the brick is the wall, and above the wall is the city. One city is equivalent to one hundred walls, and one wall consists of one hundred bricks, with each level differing by a factor of one hundred.

That's great. Then... Su Lin, why don't you come to my house now to formally propose to my father and elder brother? My father has said that as long as you become enlightened, he will agree to your proposal. " Dong Zijing said with a giggle, filled with joy, as she pulled Su Lin and ran out through the small gate of the Su family.

In the center of the Tianren Continent, where the Nine Nations Center is located, the suspended Halls of the Saints suddenly radiated a brilliant light. Dozens of semi-saints who were meditating with their eyes closed were astonished as they gazed at the towering statue of Confucius, which stood a hundred feet high in the center of the hall, shining with golden brilliance. They were so shocked that they could not utter a word. Su Lin, through the wisdom of the sacred words, had managed to create a stir all the way from the county, to the prefecture, to the state, and finally to the nation, reaching even the Holy Hall.

Su Liu hurriedly got out of bed, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Where is the county magistrate now? Has he explained the purpose of his visit?"

The words of the sage illuminate wisdom, which is truly extraordinary. High above the nine heavens, the star of literature stirs, and even the star of emperors is shaken. A beam of radiant thought soars into the sky, directly connecting to the Great Wall, a hundred miles away.

What? How could the county magistrate suddenly come to visit? Quickly... quickly help me up, the county magistrate is here, we must not be negligent...

County Magistrate Xu Wenliang laughed three times, quickly picked up the official seal, and hurriedly walked out of the county office, "Li County Deputy, why are you not hastening to accompany me to pay a visit to the genius of Fengle County?"

In the capital of the Kingdom of Wu, Xiacheng, the Emperor of Wu, Sun Jianshi, was in the imperial study of the palace, skillfully painting a scene from "Confucius Traveling" with a pen made from the hair and bones of a demon beast of the highest rank. Suddenly, a surge of energy struck, causing the pen to snap with a crack.

At the same moment, in the Fengle County government office, the seventh-rank county magistrate Xu Wenliang was discussing the upcoming county examination for the imperial civil service with his subordinate, the county vice magistrate Li Ting, when he suddenly noticed a dazzling light emanating from the official seal on the table.

At this moment, Su Liu lay on the sickbed, tears streaming down her face, pointing at her son Su Wen who was sitting at the head of the bed, and shouted angrily: "You ungrateful wretch, how could you side with that little brat Su Lin against your own mother? Over the past ten years, I have truly raised a white-eyed wolf! Why is my life so bitter? Woe is me..."

At this moment, Pang Shihua, the Governor of Jianzhou, was discussing the meanings of the Analects with his classmate, Grand Scholar Wu Guo, when suddenly his eyes sparkled with brilliance, and he could not help but exclaim: "The sage's words enlighten the mind! This is the wisdom of Jianzhou's scholars! At the very least, it is the words of a half-saint!"

"Brother Su Lin, are you... is this enlightenment?" Dong Zijing also noticed that Su Lin's aura had suddenly changed, as if it were radiating a shimmering light.

Su Lin immediately retracted his aura, gathering the holy power that had been radiating from the surface of his body. He appeared no different from before. However, his eyes were bright and his thoughts were significantly more agile than before

At this moment, Su Wen also lowered his head, his face flushed, and said with guilt, "Mother, it is indeed my fault; I should not have scolded you in front of others! However, the way you have treated elder brother over the years has indeed been looked down upon by others. I hope that in the future, you can regard elder brother and elder sister as your own children."

Not at all! Not at all! The official seal exudes authority; it is not an invasion by barbarian tribes, but rather a moment of great joy! In Fengle County, we actually have a youth who can articulate thoughts surpassing those of a Hanlin scholar, how fortunate indeed!

With a loud bang, a tremendous surge of holy power surged into Su Lin's mind, opening his intellect. In an instant, his senses became sharp and clear, as the holy power flowed through every part of his body, vast and overwhelming

At this moment, Su Lin had just begun to awaken his intelligence, yet he already possessed two bricks of sacred power, which was double that of an average student. With the opening of his intellect and the possession of sacred power, Su Lin was able to communicate with the elemental forces of heaven and earth, using his thoughts to drive the sacred power, compose articles, and create poetry, thus acquiring various miraculous abilities that were once deemed impossible
