Confucian Sword Fairy

Chapter 125 Preparation
"What? You have a new doctrine?"

Before Guyun Daru could speak, Ningping Daru beside him couldn't help being surprised.

Although the so-called new theory does not directly create a school of thought, it just puts forward a different proposition from the previous one, or writes a book that has never been written before, but this is also a very difficult thing, because in it, one must have one's own knowledge. The truth, and can make sense.

This is a difficult thing, and it is basically difficult for many scholars, especially those who are not of high level.

The reason is also very simple, that is, you must have a deep understanding of Confucian principles, or you must have more experience.

If some great Confucians come up with new theories, although it is surprising, it will not be too shocking.

Only those young scholars, this not only means that they are talented.

More importantly, they may have found a new way.

Of course, this does not mean that it will be able to go to the end, but no matter how you say it, it is extremely outstanding in Confucianism. If it is not the case, the so-called Longyuan Conference will not be held. The purpose is to be able to innovate every once in a while.
And the reason why Ningping Daru was shocked was not limited to this, but because he knew it very well.

Not long ago, Song Zhishu came up with such classics as The Way of the University.

But now?

There is a new theory
Not only Confucian Ningping, but even Confucian Gu Yun couldn't help being shocked. He looked at Song Zhishu incredulously, and said, "Little friend Song, you have a new theory. Are you kidding me?"

The way of the university has been regarded by them as a true Confucian classic, which will inevitably be passed on to all generations in the future, and it is something that every scholar must read.

Let alone a great Confucian, even a sage, writing such a book is not easy.

The key is that Song Zhishu has the way of the university and has new theories.

of course.

This is not to say that a sage is not as good as Song Zhishu.

A sage lies in walking out of his own way, which is completely different from theory. The way of a sage is to open up a new path for future generations. Believe it.

"I do have some insights." Seeing the shocked appearance of the two great scholars, Song Zhishu cupped his hands slightly.

Indeed, not long ago, the way of the university was introduced, and now there are new theories, which may be a bit shocking.

In fact, Song Zhishu did not intend to participate in the Longyuan Conference before he planned to come, but only came to increase his knowledge, to see other people's principles, and to broaden his own knowledge.

But it is different now. He already knows that the current Southern School of Confucianism is weak, and if it continues like this, it will show signs of being lost.

Whether it is Gu Yun Daru or Mr. Wen Yuan, Song Zhishu is kind to Song Zhishu.

Under such circumstances, Song Zhishu felt that he had to do something.

If he could help the Southern School of Confucianism at the Longyuan Conference, it would be a way of repaying his kindness. Besides, he is now a member of this school. If he has this opportunity, why not do it?
As for what to come up with at that time, Song Zhishu naturally had plans in mind.

Hearing this, Great Confucian Ning Ping and Great Confucian Gu Yun looked at each other.

They knew that the other party was not joking, but really had new theories and principles, because both of them knew what kind of person Song Zhishu was, and he was not a person who liked to exaggerate. He knew the importance and righteousness.

So, since it is said, it is.

"Okay, if you have the idea of ​​participating in the Longyuan Conference, then we welcome it. As for what kind of theory you want to come up with, the old man and others will not ask. At that time, we will have a glimpse of your demeanor at the conference." Gu Yun Daru spoke immediately, with a little excitement in his words.

Originally, the Southern School of Confucianism planned to give up on this Longyuan Conference. After all, the scholars of the younger generation on their side do have theories that they can talk about, and the way of the university has been agreed in advance and cannot be used. In this way, they can I don't do much, and I feel that this conference is probably the home of the Wang faction and the sect.

But it is different now, Song Zhishu said that he would attend the meeting, which gave them some hope again.

Even if it is impossible to win the championship directly, but no matter how you say it, it can still make a name for the Southern Confucianism.

For today's Nanpai, reputation is indeed very important.

Only in this way can their lineage continue to be passed on.

"Mr. Gu Yun was joking, the students can only say that they will do their best." Song Zhishu cupped his hands slightly, with a helpless smile on his face.

"Okay, we two old people won't say much. Song Xiaoyou has a good rest. We will come again when the Longyuan Conference opens." At this time, Gu Yun Daru stood up, and his eyes were very gratified .

Both he and Ningping Great Confucian around him valued Song Zhishu very much. Although they wanted to chat for a while, but they had a lot of things to do as great Confucians, so they couldn't stay here forever.

Moreover, the Longyuan Conference is about to be held, and it will inevitably be even busier in the future.

"Two gentlemen, go slowly."

Song Zhishu also knew that the two great Confucians had their own affairs, so naturally he would not choose to keep them.

After sending the three of them out, he returned to the bed again and began to practice.

Even if it is clear that he is about to participate in the Longyuan Conference.

But at this moment, Song Zhishu is still very relaxed and has not been affected. Instead, he puts his mind on cultivation for the time being, because he knows that in the near future, Xu Changyu will send a reward for opening Yangcheng. Then you can increase your strength again.

"Gentlemen, since Brother Song is planning to participate in the Longyuan Conference, should we prepare for it?"

At this moment, Lu Ming, who had just walked out of the door, thought about what happened just now, and asked immediately.

There are many people participating in the Longyuan Conference, but not many people actually want to participate, and there are restrictions this time. The older generation of scholars are not allowed to appear, and those who can stand up and publish their theories are basically the younger generation of scholars, and these, All need to be prepared.

At least let the people participating in this conference know who they are.

However, Lu Ming's words made Guyun and Ningping both stop in their tracks.

"Why do we have to prepare in advance?" Ningping Daru said directly: "Before, our Southern Confucianists used all their strength to finally obtain the right to host the Longyuan Conference, but in the end, those schools did not allow us to show the way of university. ,what is the reason?"

"It's because they know that as long as the way of the university comes out, no matter what theories of the various universities come out, it is impossible to compare."

"This way is completely suppressing our southern Confucianism, and Song Xiaoyou is going to play, and not many people who come up with new theories know, why don't we take this opportunity to surprise those schools and let them know, My Southern School of Confucianism will not just go downhill!"

The meaning of Ningping Daru is very simple, that is, Song Zhishu participated in the Longyuan Conference, and many people are clear about it.

But no one knew that Song Zhishu had a new theory, so he had nothing to guard against the Southern Confucianism.

Now everyone feels that the winner of this conference is the competition between the Wang faction and the sect, and no one cares about the Southern faction.

Even great Confucians are angry about this, but no matter whether it is Guyun Great Confucianism or Ningping Great Confucianism, there is nothing they can do, because the situation is not as good as others, so they can only admit it.

But Song Zhishu has a new theory, and he is going to present it at the conference.

That meaning is completely different.

Regardless of whether that theory can come out on top, boldly, as long as everyone knows that Southern Confucianism still exists, that's fine.

"That's right." Gu Yun Daru also spoke at this moment, with a solemn look in his eyes: "Over the years, my southern Confucianism has not been taken seriously, so that even if Confucianism and Taoism are no longer suppressed, we This branch, however, did not take advantage of the trend to flourish, instead, the Wang faction and sect took advantage of the trend, and if things go on like this, it will only be a matter of time before our Southern faction declines."

"And this Longyuan Conference may be our last chance, so no matter what, we must seize it."

"Since Xiaoyou Song is willing to participate, it is undoubtedly a good thing, and we don't have to notify other schools in advance."

Guyun Daru, like Ningping Daru, did not want to reveal this matter in advance.

"This is for those who want to publish a theory. You have to register in advance to go up. We are not prepared. What if other schools use this as an argument?" Lu Ming understood what the two gentlemen meant, but felt that it was not appropriate.

He felt that the two gentlemen might be angry with other schools of thought.

"What are you afraid of?"

Gu Yun Daru didn't care much about this, and continued: "It's not like you don't know, this time the conference is hosted by our Southern School Confucianists, it's not their turn to make irresponsible remarks, well, it's decided like this .”

After speaking, he left the area directly with Ningping Daru and headed for the main hall of the residence.

Obviously, he also wanted to inform Zeng Yong and others about Song Zhishu's participation in the Longyuan Conference and his preparation to publish a new theory.

"This"

Lu Ming looked at the backs of the two great Confucians, and couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

But since he said it, he will not say anything about it.

However, unlike Ning Ping and Gu Yun's thoughts, Lu Ming obviously knew Song Zhishu better. He knew that since the other party made a decision, it would not be simple. Since there is a new theory, it must be amazing.

Maybe it's not as good as the previous universities, but it's certainly not much worse.

"Perhaps, this time, Brother Song is going to be a blockbuster again."

Lu Ming muttered to himself, then left the place without thinking too much.

On the other side, Song Zhishu is still practicing. Since the two great Confucians left, no one has come to disturb him for the time being, so he has been practicing, reading books from time to time, and writing some articles, so that his Confucian cultivation is also steadily improving. Getting ready for the start of the conference
As for the outside world, he also learned about it through Lu Ming who came here from time to time.

Now the whole Yunzhou can be said to be very lively, not only the various schools of Confucianism, but also some powerful sects have come.

This is normal, whoever made this Longyuan Conference, which is related to the entire Confucianism, and even the next saint, may appear in it, it is a real big event, and it can be said to be highly anticipated.

Song Zhishu was very clear about this, and didn't say much.

In the past few days, Xu Changyu finally came, bringing with him the reward from the last mission to slay demons in Kaiyang City.
