Saint Immortal Way

() After the Palace of Imperial Arts competition, Lu Yang appeared to be more low-key, concentrating on cultivating in the Huangfu, the rumors outside still haven't subsided, but they have calmed down.

On the [-]th of this month, the Palace of Calligraphy and Art will come as scheduled.Calligraphy was originally tested in calligraphy in the first few years of the establishment of the Kuang Dynasty, that is, Confucian scholars held holy brushes and started a duel of strength, just like the current music art, with musical instruments.The more profound the words of the holy way who comprehend, the stronger the strength.

However, a pure calligraphic duel cannot reflect the essence of the practice of the holy way, so after several demonstrations by Baisheng Taimiao and the dynasty, the calligraphy competition was made into a form of writing books and discussing. <Rising up like bamboo shoots, it was the people gathering firewood and the flames were high, so the holy way further prospered, and there was a century-old prosperity of saints, which was called "the rule of Yuan Zhen"

Since Yuan Zhen's rule, the form of the Academy of Calligraphy has never changed, and it has always been advocating the ethos of writing and talking.It is said that the power of the holy way can be used to promote the sublimation of the words of the holy way, and it can quickly improve the Taoism, which is a great help in the practice of the holy way.

Since Lu Yang entered the holy way of practice, he has written "Fenghuaxueyueji", more than ten chapters of novels, and two books on military tactics, as well as "Tao Te Ching" and "Dao Dao".

Among them, the chapter-style novels are all medium-length, leisure and entertainment books, young people like it or not, but there are still not many who can practice the holy way in the sea of ​​​​Shenting Consciousness.

"Feng Hua Xue Yue Ji", "Tao Te Ching" and "Dan Dao" are different, and many people read them.Moreover, they are relatively short in length. Confucianists generally cultivate them into holy words, store them in their own sea of ​​consciousness, and become part of their own spirit and will.

It is conceivable that a person's spirit and will are insignificant, but if thousands of spirits and wills gather together, how huge is this force?This is the power of the holy way!

At every moment, Lu Yang communicates with the heaven and the earth with the awe-inspiring energy of the five emperors, and he can feel that there is a huge power of the holy way coming from the void, tracing back to the source, and throwing himself into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The spirit pool in Lu Yang's Divine Court's Sea of ​​Consciousness is expanding every day, and the five emperors' awe-inspiring energy gathered in the Divine Court is expanding every day. <Qiuge is crowded with people, and the calligraphy competition has always attracted the attention of scholars in the city of God, because every time there is a so-called "genius" writing a book with far-reaching influence.

Lu Yang had already made plans, and the official competition began. Lu Yang concentrated for a long time before writing: "The way of great learning lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in ending in perfection."

"In ancient times, those who wanted to make clear and bright the world first ruled their country; those who wanted to rule their country first regulated their families; those who wanted to regulated their families first cultivated their bodies; If you want to be sincere, you must first extend your knowledge. Extending knowledge is in the investigation of things. After the object is discovered, you will know it. After you know it, you will be sincere. If you have a sincere heart, then your heart will be straight. Then the family is in order, the family is in order and the country is governed, the country is governed and the world is peaceful."

Lu Yang had just finished writing these two paragraphs, and immediately attracted the attention of many masters and Confucian masters in Taishu Academy. Even Emperor Wen showed a thoughtful expression, and the great master next to him stroked his gray beard and nodded. It seems that I also appreciate it.

Emperor Wen smiled and said: "This Lu Qing is really not simple. He can write something thought-provoking every time. This way of learning is really reasonable!"

"Your Majesty, Lu Yang is indeed a rare genius in the world. Look at these two paragraphs. He put forward three principles: Ming Mingde, being close to the people, and striving for perfection. , governing the country, and pacifying the world are eight items. The eight items are the ways to realize the three programs."

"This is in line with the foundation of our holy way of practice. The language is concise, and the expression is clear and comprehensive. This kind of skill is rare. Now many of our great Confucians have written books, and it is nothing more than that!" A great master laughed.

The other great masters nodded in agreement.

Lu Yang continued to write, and every time he finished writing a paragraph, he would lift it up in the air and hang it in the lobby for people to watch. Lu Yang's aura of five emperors is extraordinary. Compared with other Confucian scholars' arrogance and righteousness, they are indeed outstanding.

The 27 Confucian scholars showed their supernatural powers, and a section of holy words was suspended in the sky above the lobby, and it was magnificent for a while.

A few words flew out from Lu Yang's head. The masters and Confucians who were quietly watching in the corridors around the lobby looked up, and some couldn't help opening their mouths and whispering.

"It is said that those who govern the country must have their families in order, their families cannot be taught, but those who can teach others cannot. Therefore, a gentleman can teach the country without leaving the house."

"It is said that those who rule the country in a peaceful world are those who are old and the people are happy with filial piety, those who are elders and the people are happy with younger brothers, and those who care for the orphans and the people are not as good as they are. This is why a gentleman has a way of setting rules."

After a master read it, he couldn't help himself for a while.Each of these paragraphs can be said to be the most reasonable sayings. For the pursuit and ideal of scholars, Lu Yang has indeed written a chapter with substance again.

In fact, what Lu Yang wrote was "University", and "University" refers to "elementary school", which means that it is not an "elementary school" that talks about "detailed exegesis, clear sentence reading", but a "university" that talks about governing the country and the country.

After all, Lu Yang is a person in the holy way, and the most important homework on weekdays is to cultivate energy and practice.

With the advancement of the holy way and karma, Lu Yang felt more and more the beauty of "righteousness".Therefore, in his spare time, he began to "sincerity", "righteousness" and "self-cultivation" intentionally or unintentionally.

This is undoubtedly in line with the ideas put forward by "The Great Learning". Sometimes, Lu Yang can't help feeling that some principles and concepts of life are universal no matter which world or era they are in. For example, the "Great Learning" The way of university advocated in it.

"University" respectively explains the principles of Ming Mingde, being close to the people, stopping at the ultimate good, fundamentals, investigating things, extending knowledge, sincerity, rectifying one's heart, self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world.

Ming Mingde refers to the promotion of upright morality.Being close to the people means letting people change the old and make new ones.To stop at the ultimate good means to reach the best state.The main and the last refer to the need to distinguish between the primary and secondary when doing things, and grasp the fundamentals.Investigating things and extending knowledge refers to the pursuit of the principles of things to obtain knowledge.

Sincerity means "don't deceive yourself", don't "cover up your badness and show your goodness".To be righteous is to straighten one's mind.Self-cultivation is to strengthen self-cultivation and improve one's own quality.The Qi family is to manage one's own family and family well.Governing the country and pacifying the world is about governing the country.

How to govern the country? First of all, set an example; what you hate, don't give it to others;

It can be said that "The Great Learning" entrusted the ideals of the ancients who were sages within and kings without. <Outside the Qiu Pavilion, there are a sea of ​​scholars looking at the transcribed chapters from the [-]th Anniversary and talking about them.

"Wang Chong claims to be a child prodigy of the Wang family since 200 years ago. He wrote "Quu Evil Sutra". The ideal of thousands of scholars!"

"It's true that Wang Chong is a genius, but it's a pity that he still can't compare to Lu Yang's "University". This is a matter of vision, after all, he is too young!"

"Look at the "Octave Lingyin" by the genius of Truman, is it a rare thing?"

"There is a successor to the Truman family, and that Chu Miaoling is the blood of Saint Le, who claims to be the most talented girl in the Truman family in the past hundred years!"

"Those who specialize in music and have profound attainments in music should understand that the octave spiritual sound is an innate sound. Apart from the five-wheel sound and the second sound of heaven and earth, it is the innate sound that exists when the world is opened up. , is the sound of the creation of heaven and earth, the sound of the birth and germination of all things, and the sound of good fortune and creation!"

"..."

Lu Yang turned his head to look at the head of a talented girl, and saw a sheet of music hanging above her head, with seven lines on it, and besides the seven lines, there was an eighth line, which would occasionally condense gold pieces. The innate talisman seal is mysterious and mysterious, and it is indescribable.

Let’s look at a young scholar in white again. He wrote "The Law of Amnesty of Mountains and Rivers". The magic of the holy way is very novel and unique. It is unique and unique, and it can be regarded as opening up a brand new type of magic.

Seeing that chapter of music scores and the decree of amnesty for mountains and rivers, Lu Yang knew that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. His "University" may be to guide people in the holy way to establish the classics of the three cardinal principles and eight objects, but in the Great Kuang Dynasty, such classics are absolutely Quite a few, so it is not too outstanding, because its practicality is not too strong.

For more than 400 years during the Great Kuang Dynasty, since the founding of the Holy Way, there have been countless works like "University" that put forward the concepts of sincerity, rectification, self-cultivation, governance, and peace of the world, but they may be another way of expression, another kind of written expression, It is not like Lu Yang who clearly put forward the complete three cardinal guides and eight orders.

The book "Dan Dao" is the first of its kind.It is beneficial to the country and the people, and it is practical learning.

"Octave Lingyin" is also a very profound practical study. For Confucianists who specialize in musical arts, it may be an unattainable monument, or it may be a door leading Confucian musicians from acquired music to innate music. door.

This is not the case with "The Great Learning", so Lu Yang had mentally prepared early in the morning. If the judging master is good at it, he will be able to get the ranking, and if he is not good at it, he will be helpless.

In the room on the second floor, Emperor Wen read all the writings written by the twenty Confucian scholars, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a prosperous age. There are indeed many geniuses in this year's Six Arts Competition. Look at the little lady of the Chu family." , it's not easy!"

An old master of the Baishengtai Temple came out and said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise, this great-granddaughter of the old minister is indeed the future hope of the Trumen. She is indeed a genius in heaven to be able to write octave spiritual notes at this age. Zhang Leli's writings will have an immeasurable impact on the longevity of all scholars who study music arts!"
