Chapter 430 Introduction to Confucianism

"Heaven and earth have grand righteousness, and its miscellaneous forms, the lower part is the river and the mountain, and the upper part is the sun and stars..."

In the Sheriff's Mansion, Zhang Xuezhou cheekily ran after Dong Zhongshu, finding a place to stay temporarily.

He used to think that laying out in the wild for three or two days was not a big deal for getting started with the nine major evasion methods, but after seeing Ba Snake, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he still needed to have a normal life and could not just eat and sleep in the wild.

He waited for his time to return to reality.

After practicing "Cloud Art" and being brought back by the emperor, he has been in this world for more than two days, and he has not returned to reality until now.

But Zhang Xuezhou feels that the time may be very close to return.

After eating a very simple meal, he found a temporary housing for public servants in the Sheriff's Mansion.

While waiting idly, Zhang Xuezhou also recited Dong Zhongshu's Great Righteousness Jue aloud.

"Brother Zhongshu, the Confucian Grandeur of Righteousness can only be used to adjust the mind. This monk surnamed Zhang has a little way to release his mana. Why does he still learn from you?"

Wen Weng, who was busy with disaster relief work after the heavy rain, came back and was a little surprised to hear Zhang Xuezhou reading aloud.

"Seeing Brother Zhongweng open a school, I can't help but feel a little bit itchy, thinking about naturalizing some monks from other schools." Dong Zhongshu replied in a low voice: "The Haoran Zhengqi Jue can only adjust the mind for most people, but for most people There is some possibility of reconciliation with the paranoid development of the Onmyo School."

"This monk is a student of the Yin Yang family?" Wen Weng said in surprise, "Don't mess with Jin Chang. If he finds out that your private teaching will have an impact, we won't be able to stop him!"

"It's not Jinchang's student, it's just that Chao Bugui taught him something casually!"

"It turned out to be a lie, so it's all right!"

Wen Weng nodded.

If Dong Zhongshu had a crush on Zhang Xuezhou, Wen Weng felt that even if Dong Zhongshu robbed someone, it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't return.

In fact, as Chao Bugui was wanted by the Xie Luosichuan Holy Land, there was no news of Chao Bugui in the rivers and lakes, and there were many people who speculated that Chao Bugui was dead.

When the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, it is normal for the students who can't return to their own schools.

Listening to Zhang Xuezhou's loud and energetic recitation voice, Wen Weng felt that the other party was quite diligent.

Confucianism's Haoran Zhengqi Jue belongs to the theory of the mean, and it does have a certain auxiliary effect on the more extreme cultivation theory of Yinyang School.

But if you want to talk about how capable Haoran Zhengqi Jue is, it's out of the question, otherwise everyone would go to learn Confucian cultivation methods.

The biggest advantage of Confucianism lies in its commonality, which leads to a high tolerance for many techniques, and can also be used as a method for other schools of thought to practice together.

But it is precisely because of the broad and inclusiveness of Confucianism that Confucian monks are less powerful than other schools in learning any skills.

There is only one Confucian sage who has the power to overcome the enemy with the theory of containing thousands, and even the follow-up Meng Sheng and others are inferior.

As for Dong Zhongshu, he is still struggling and does not have the ability to defeat the enemy easily.

"I heard that there are nine classics in Confucianism. It is difficult for a monk like him who only reads the Haoran Zhengqi Jue to change his school," Wen Weng said.

"Take your time." Dong Zhongshu waved his hand and said, "Our Confucianism focuses on enlightenment, so there is no rush for this kind of thing!"

"That's true." Wen Weng nodded and said, "If he knows that he needs to recite and study a lot of books to really reconcile one school of theory, it can be called a return to cultivation, and he is likely to give up."

"The awe-inspiring righteousness tactics summarized by Confucian monks in the past can only plant an introduction to Confucianism. If you want to improve further, you must learn more." Dong Zhongshu said: "But Confucius and Meng Sheng integrated thousands of principles into nine In the scriptures, it is mentioned that reciting ten thousand times can clear the heart of wisdom, this kind of practice is indeed very difficult for normal people, if I don’t make it easier in the early stage, I am really afraid that he will run away.”

"It's his luck to be able to worship under your sect," Wen Weng said with a smile.

"He didn't worship me!"

Dong Zhongshu resentfully replied.

Zhang Xuezhou's words aroused the idea of ​​becoming a monk who would benefit the country and the people, but Dong Zhongshu failed at the first step.

Zhang Xuezhou was not willing to join his sect, and even thought of giving up learning the Haoran Zhengqi formula.

This is also the primary problem that Dong Zhongshu needs to face. Even if he is willing to spread useful knowledge, not everyone is willing to worship Confucianism.

This requires Dong Zhongshu to let go of the rules, and it also requires him to have a clear mind and be able to accept this kind of situation.

With Zhang Xuezhou, Dong Zhongshu at least took the first step of trying.

"My academy only teaches literacy, laws, and style of writing. Brother Zhong Shu, you are teaching cultivation directly before you get started." Wen Weng took a breath and said, "Mr. You have the final say, you must be careful, don't let them know!"

"If you are stupid and don't know how to adapt, Confucianism will eventually end up in the end of the Yinyang family!"

Dong Zhongshu waved his hand and first mentioned his own ideas, and then pointed to the outside of the city of Shu County.

"As long as they can get the courage of the snake to help me go further, how can they stand me!"

It was already noon, and the people who went to Taipingyan to search for the trace of the Ba snake still did not come back to report. Dong Zhongshu couldn't help reminding Wen Weng.

On the issue of returning to Bashe, Dong Zhongshu still had some thoughts, while Wen Weng had a serious expression on his face.

The size of the Ba snake is much larger than before. In the past, the Ba snake could be quiet for several months after swallowing a pig or a cow, but now the Ba snake may have to eat ten to eight livestock to be full.

Everyone saw that there seemed to be a human-shaped foreign body wriggling in the abdomen of Ba Snake last night, and the other party was probably no longer satisfied with ordinary meat.

This requires Wen Weng and others to solve the problem as soon as possible.

When the two looked at each other, they looked solemn, and they walked back and forth in the sheriff's mansion waiting anxiously.

It wasn't until the evening when the sun was about to set that more than a dozen people who went to investigate in the direction of Taipingyan reported back one after another.

"No?"

"Can't find a trace?"

"how can that be?"

Except for the absence of a father and son who went out to hunt for cattle in the village near the river, there was no special change in the vicinity of Taipingyan.

The thunder and lightning weather and the night environment make people seldom go out. This may be the only good news at the moment.

But the bad news makes Wenweng difficult to calm down.

They have witnessed Ba Snake with their own eyes, but Ba Snake just disappeared, making it difficult for many hunters who are good at hunting to find a trace.

"I can't find anything. Could it be that a boa constrictor can fly?" Wen Weng said angrily.

"If a snake can fly..."

Wen Weng's anger made everyone dare not raise their heads to answer, while Dong Zhongshu's face changed slightly, feeling that things were getting tricky.

Dong Zhongshu has learned 140 eight techniques, but none of them can make him fly into the sky.

Whenever he encounters a flying monster, loses or encounters an accident, it is difficult for him to escape.

"I don't have a good family, and I'm not good at Feng Shui formations. How can I find the place where Ba Snake is hiding!"

What Dong Zhongshu thought was on the one hand, and Wen Weng, who was looking for the trace of Ba Snake, had a headache and had new troubles.

When hunting and tracking methods fail, they can only turn to magic methods.

But there are very few people who can be tracked by magical means.
