Chapter Eighty-Seven: Nine Categories of Knowledge
red around Lin Zhengren, all the energy erupted in an instant.Behind him, in the void, seemed to coalesce a doorway, a reflection of his physical form.There is a gate between heaven and earth, and man...The Heavenly Phoenix (Tian Huang) and the Corpse Phoenix (Ji Xuan) have replaced Zhú Jiǔyīn and Chaos as the rulers of the Shan Hai Realm. They represent the mountains and seas, the heavens and earth, and are also embodiments of eternal rulers and rebels.
Unless something unexpected happens, when the story of Ji Xuan and Kong Yuan comes to an end, Fei Que and Lian Hong will become the new controllers of the Shan Hai Jing.
Old stories fade away, new ones come to life. No one is irreplaceable.
Are there nine kinds of phoenixes in the world
It seems so.
But, it's worth remembering that the Phoenix Five Categories are only one way of looking at things.
But he couldn't be sure, because the thought was too vague, he even felt like it was an illusion! As for the memory of the Phoenix, it was very clear. The story of the Phoenix, the legend of the Phoenix, the virtues of the Phoenix, and even the beautiful postures of the nine kinds of Phoenixes, he remembered them all clearly.
But the thoughts of Phoenix's five categories always stubbornly pop up, like when you're exhausted and about to fall asleep, a sudden surge of thoughts comes to mind.
Who got it wrong
He went from fantasy to reality, he had already seen through the truth, he was a "real person"! How could he have a wrong idea on such a simple understanding
"I seem to have heard a saying—" Ge Fei hesitated, "—that there are five types of Phoenixes."
"Brother Ge might have gotten it wrong," Fan Wujue laughed. "The legend of the nine kinds of phoenix has existed since ancient times. Nine represents the ultimate number, and phoenix represents the ultimate demon. In the era of the celestial court of the demon clan, the Phoenix Clan even had a Heavenly Emperor - this information has been passed down from ancient times and couldn't be wrong. How could the phoenix be only five kinds"
“I’m not saying I don’t trust you, Fan Ge. It’s just that my mind feels a bit fuzzy today…” Ge Fei felt a strange kind of frustration. He forced himself to suppress these emotions and ignited his fighting spirit: “Fan Ge said this information has been passed down from ancient times, is there any proof”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Fan Wujiu only thought that he was joking. Even a real person wouldn't be so foolish as to forget common sense: "What kind of proof is needed When we were first enlightened, the master taught us, 'The Dragon Lord drinks wine, and feasts on talented people; the Phoenix has nine categories, and its virtue does not deviate'—the Confucian classics all say it clearly. Ge Xiong came from a famous family in Yue State, was a disciple of the hidden sage, and had a deep understanding of Confucianism. How could he possibly not know!"
He has not experienced the previous revolution, so he studied with Gao Zheng and would not have started from The Book of Meng. Therefore, he truly doesn't know if there is this sentence in it.
If there is really such a saying, then the Nine Categories of Phoenix must be historical truth. The Five Categories of Phoenix can only be a hypothesis.
Because this is the work of Confucian sage masters, it has enlightened countless readers over several eras! How many sages are there among them!
One person might make a mistake, it is possible for millions or even billions to make a mistake It's fine if ordinary people make mistakes, but can even saints and sages make mistakes
Of course, with the development of history, today's version is no longer the original. It has been revised many times. But what was revised was the "correctness of the era". The correctness that transcends time and exists, the unshakeable truth, has always continued.
Just like "Dragon King's Wine, Feasting the Talented," which refers to the story of the Dragon Palace banquet, it teaches people to respect talented individuals. This is the part that will not be revised—perhaps in the future, if dragons are completely wiped out and for some reason their traces need to be erased, this sentence might be changed.
"The saying 'Phoenix Nine Classes, De Does Not Deviate' is even more so the case. So-called education and nurturing people, its fundamental principle is 'moral education'. First, teach how to be a person, then teach academic skills. In any era, this statement holds true."
That is to say, the saying that the phoenix has nine categories has existed since ancient times. It's not a recent idea, nor is it unique to Li Guo or Fan Wujiu. This saying has been around throughout history.

The saying of the Five Categories of Phoenix doesn't exist!
Gev Fei only felt extremely dazed. He started to not understand himself. He didn't understand why, after following Gao Zheng for so long, reading many books, and becoming a powerful person who grasped the truth like a master of insight, he would have such vague thoughts as "Five Categories of Phoenix" in such a simple matter. Was this also the "ignorance" of the present world
“Could you give me a book” He looked at Fan Wujiu apologetically, like someone who had done something wrong: “I really... can’t remember. I’m not sure.”
Fan Wushù felt something was amiss. He found that Ge Fei was being quite serious, and he wondered if a man who even doubted himself could truly be considered "Dòng Zhēn" However, he didn't show anything on his face and simply said, “Ge brother, please wait here for a moment, I’ll be right back!”
But in the space of ten breaths, Fan Wujiu went and returned.
“Brother, this is the newly published version from last year by Mu Gu Book Academy. This one is from ten years ago, and this one is from fifty years ago, and this one is from three hundred years ago… Compare them. I think those classifications of five categories and nine categories are probably misprints. Some booksellers are unscrupulous, only concerned with making money. They skimp on good paper and careless printing, yet they dare to call it deluxe edition to fool people. I don't know when you'll see this, but your memory is so good, just a glance and you'll be worried about it.”
Fan Wushu held a large stack of things in his hands, not just different versions: "There's also this, with many records of ancient mythical beasts inside, look, there are even nine types of phoenix mentioned here. And I have collected the series of paintings by Jian Yaonian, oh, Jian Yaonian was that famous painter in our history of Li Guo. My fan was painted by him back then."
After years of experience, the General Office of Ligu Beidao has become very efficient. When Ge Fei only put forward a request, he took all aspects into consideration.
Whether it is writing or painting, it is a record of history.
He flipped through a local history book, and in different versions, he found the phrase "Phoenix nine types, virtue does not deviate." He kept searching for this phrase, as if looking for beacons in the long river of history, avoiding drowning because he was lost.
He looked back and forth in the genuine works of Li Guo painter Jian Yaonian, paying particular attention to the brushstrokes of Gaixuan, Kongyuan, Feiqiao, and Lianhong - all old brushes, indeed with traces of time, indeed five hundred years old.
He gazed longingly at each feather.
How beautiful!
But why so sad
Fan Wushu patiently helped Ge Fei translate, but at a certain moment, he suddenly looked up and saw tears in Ge Fei's eyes.
"Brother Ge, are you alright" he asked with concern.
He was very worried that Ge Fei might suddenly lose control again. This monster, when it went mad, was beyond communication, and he really didn't want to gamble his life on Ge Fei's sanity once more.

“Don’t worry.” Ge Fei didn’t know why his eyes were moistened, but he politely comforted: “I won’t wet your painting.”
He reached out to wipe away his tears, but no matter how hard he tried, they wouldn't stop flowing. It was as if a breach had opened in his skin at the corner of his eye, with rivers and oceans pouring forth.
Tears finally turned bloody.
His eyes were bleeding!
Fan Wujue subconsciously took a few steps back.

Although he was being criticized, he seemed to be oblivious.
He picked it up, turned to the page about phoenixes, and read the words and images. Everything was so real.
He suddenly remembered...he remembered everything! He really had read that, the phoenix was indeed of nine classes.
At this moment, knowledge, memory, history, the present, fantasy, and reality all unified into one truth.

The Qian Tang tide, thousands of miles away in Yue Country, suddenly surged. The Qian Tang tide is a renowned wonder for all ages, but today it is especially violent, roaring as if to devour everything.
That millennia-old dyke, reinforced countless times over the centuries, was destroyed in an instant! The surging water roared, engulfing everything in its path!
In the winehouse of Li Guo Yi Ning City, Ge Fei's spine seemed to cave in before his eyes. His hands loosened their grip, and the heavy object fell to the ground with a dull thud.
"Ah!!!"
He stumbled out of the tavern, his eyes filled with blood and tears, his appearance crazed. He flung his arms wide open and shouted on the main street of Yining City, "There are nine kinds of phoenixes in the world!"
He didn't know why he was shouting, didn't know why he was sad. He just suddenly lost all his courage, and all his hope suddenly extinguished.
Boom boom!
A bolt of lightning split the dark clouds.
The sky suddenly began to pour with heavy rain.
Pedestrians on the street hurried to both sides.
>
Ge Fei knelt in the rain, like a wounded beast, almost howling: "Day Phoenix! Day Golden Pheasant! Day Peacock! Day Kingfisher! Day Crane! Day Hawk! Day Jewel-toned Bird! Day Painted Swan! Day Rainbow Fish!"
A true sage, today sees through the truth of the world.
What a joke!
Fan Wujiu stood under the eaves of the tavern, watching "Ge Zhenren" through the sudden rain curtain. He felt this person was very pitiful. Although compared to present-day Li Guo, this Zhenren was incredibly powerful.
“Look—what’s that!”
There was a cry at the end of the long street.
> More than just the end of the long street
The entire city of Yining was abuzz with cries of astonishment.
Fan Wushu couldn't help but walk into the rain and looked up at the sky.
Right at the moment he looked up, the rain stopped.
The clouds dispersed, and brilliant sunshine shone everywhere.
The sky was the color of the sea, and when the azure light flowed, it was like the sea breeze rippling across the waves. At the edge of that boundless blue, beauty and power took shape—a celestial blue phoenix, its eyes like precious stones, its feathers like a blue rainbow. When it spread its wings, it became the new sky.

The Nine Types of Phoenix! The Heavenly Couple in the Void!
Soaked in the stench of blood and gore, he knelt on the cobblestone street. Lifting his head from a whimper, his eyes, blurred with blood and tears, saw everything in a haze... He was awestruck by this beauty. And terrified by its existence.
Is she the one from the Shan Hai Jing, or another being from this world
At a moment when no one was aware, a powerful figure appeared in the corner of the city wall of Yining City. The moment it appeared, the entire world sank.
It's not just him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At this moment, the nation of Li is being watched by countless eyes, some bright, some hidden, and countless figures descend upon it, unseen. And all this has nothing to do with Li Guo!
The nation is not the focus, nor are gossip and rumors. It's simply a great canvas unfolding in this very place at this very time.
Let the world admire it.
The rain-soaked ground seemed to become a mirror, but it did not reflect the brilliant sky. Instead, it was deep and endless, as if connecting to the mythical source sea.
With a soft *splat*, a boot crushed a puddle. The unexpected visitor's arrival didn't cause any stir. In fact, with the caliber of officials in Li Guo, they only beheld the grand canvas of the heavens and rarely noticed what transpired beneath it.
The most dangerous thing to them was Ge Fei, and this danger had already been "resolved" by the Beidao Grand Controller Fan Wuji.
But the boots kicked up ripples in the muddy puddle.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
There are also ripples within the gloom.
Afterward, in people's vision, it seemed as if the sun had leapt over the horizon, rising from the ground a mass of black light. Within this black light, unfolded a phoenix with feathers as fine and transparent as jet!
To be precise, it was its reflection that leaped out of the "Silent Sea".
It itself directly leaped from the ground to the heavens. It didn't stir up an inch of earth, nor did it shatter a single brick. It was so pure, a beauty that is beyond the reach of even the most imaginative sculptor.
The Ninth Kind of Phoenix, the Corpse Phoenix Jia Xuan!
Kong Yuan and Jia Xuan flew together through the air, a cerulean radiance contrasting sharply with an alluring yet hypnotic glow. This pair of sworn enemies, however, did not engage in combat, but rather displayed an unusual tranquility.
>
This is not the end.
The imperial court placed great trust in Confucianism, but the people deeply revered Buddhism. Throughout history, many members of the royal family had become monks, and numerous Buddhist temples dotted the land.
At this moment, all the temple bells in the world rang together. Their continuous sound converged into a magnificent and overwhelming sound. This sound was so sacred, like the creator proclaiming eternity.
It represents the most devout faith, an unparalleled power.
Mountains roar and seas rage, compelling one to prostrate oneself in awe.
And in that sanctity and reverence, a jade phoenix teeming with boundless vitality was born!
This phoenix takes flight in the heavens, and a surging vitality like a tidal wave sweeps over the land of Li Guo. This small country, represented as a speck on the map, is transformed at this moment: trees grow wildly, flowers bloom luxuriantly. The sick are cured of their ailments, the weak regain their vigor. All things renew! Countless newborns are bestowed with exceptional talents.
The phoenix with its shimmering, iridescent feathers flowing like waves of light, represents eternal vitality, immortal power, and an enduring legend.
It is the divine Phoenix, the Jade Sparrow, among the Nine Types of Phoenixes!
In this sacred and solemn atmosphere, there was another distant sound of a bell. This sound reverberates among the endless chimes, another kind of reverence within holiness.
Accompanying this sound was a compassionate Buddhist chant——
"Namo... Amitabha Buddha!"
A venerable monk with clear features and a broken eyebrow, clad in robes of hempen cloth, wearing monk's shoes, stood tall with hands clasped together, reciting: "In the past, I received the grace of enlightenment from Master Huang Wei Zhen. Today, I come to repay this kindness. On Mount Xumi, I gained enlightenment. I am here to protect Master Huang Wei Zhen. Anyone who obstructs my path is like an enemy of my Buddha!"
The Zhenjun of Mount Xumi, realizing Zen Master Zhiwen, brought the bell of knowledge and arrived in Yining City, Li Guo, to protect Huang Wei's true way!
To guard against harm for the true phoenix
Gevfei, kneeling stunned on the street, felt his heart and soul utterly empty at this moment.
Is Huanyi Zhen really coming back
Is it today
Are you here
This feels like a dream! This is just an unfounded fantasy!
Gev Fei ground his teeth until they shattered, snapping one of his fingers in the process! But even such intense pain couldn't tear him away from his fantasy. The story unfolding before his eyes continued relentlessly.

“Ah, oh, ooooh…”
With blood-soaked hands, he covered his tear-streaming eyes, like a helpless young beast that had lost its mother, crying loudly in the street.
Woooooo...

This is the sound of crying, but also the sound of the wind.
The ever-present wind swept through this city, this nation.
It does no harm to anyone, but it wails and grieves.
The living remember the dead, but they will never meet again.
Memories of old friends linger, appearing in dreams from time to time!
In the city of Yining, at that time, there were cries of grief from thousands of households. Too many people had been moved to sadness.
>
This sorrow spread throughout Li Guo, spreading to Nan Yu at a speed that was unimaginable and impossible to stop. It spread further and wider, yet in an instant it abruptly stopped.
The voices are gone, and the world knows only the cries of ghosts.
Amidst mournful cries, an orange phoenix, radiating brilliance, soared through a joyful path in the vast expanse of the sky.
From the depths of suffering comes enlightenment.
This is the Ghost Phoenix Practicing the Rainbow!Jiang Wang traveled eastward for tens of thousands of miles, passing through numerous countries and sects, but he had never seen such a prosperous place.If not for the fact that his and Chong Xuan's c...
