Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 262 Three Realms of Life
On the Gentleman Bridge.

Feng Qingyan's questions and answers attracted more and more people.

Moreover, many wonderful questions and answers were quickly spread out, especially Helian Shan’s answer, which made many people clap their hands and stand up, feeling excited.

"Helian Shan is a great talent."

A teacher at a college said, "Just relying on the three books of etiquette, one can become famous all over the world."

"The three books of etiquette that Helian Shan gave in reply will become the three books of etiquette in the future." A teacher from the academy also said so. He was amazed by the three books of etiquette of Helian Shan and seemed to tremble all over.

Perhaps Helian Shan did not realize the amazingness of the Three Books of Etiquette.

However, the Grand Tutor, the Old Tutor and others realized that they were all amazed. They were a little worried that Helian Shan would lose to Bi Li, but who knew that Bi Li was the one that made Helian Shan famous.

The three books of etiquette alone are enough to make one famous throughout the world.

Moreover, the conversation between Helian Shan and Feng Qingyan about etiquette and music was so brilliant that people could not help but applaud.

It was only then that the teacher of the academy realized that he and others seemed to have underestimated Helian Shan.

The reason for looking down on others is naturally because of their age.

However, being young does not mean being uneducated.

A gentleman is the best example.

The gentleman is not even twenty years old, but he has already created the sacred art of "sitting and discussing the Tao" and is respected as a virtual saint.

People outside Junzi Bridge were also amazed by Helian Shan's talent.

His understanding of etiquette is far beyond the reach of others.

"No wonder the Canonization Council chose Helian Shan as the Spring Official of the Holy Palace. Now Helian Shan is probably only missing the realm." Someone sighed on the bank of Lingshui River.

"indeed so."

Many people nodded, all of them were impressed by Helian Shan.

"Do you guys need to compete further?"

Feng Qingyan questioned Gong Cheng, Ximen Bing and ten other people.

Gong Cheng, Ximen Bing and the other ten people hesitated for a moment, then shook their heads and said with some shame: "There is no need to compete anymore, we have already lost."

"The great talent that you admire is beyond the reach of the city."

Gong Cheng bowed to Helian and walked towards one end of the bridge.

"The great talent of the one I admire is beyond the reach of ice..."

Ximen Bing also bowed.

"I admire the great talent..."

Chen Xuan and others all bowed to Helian Shan and walked quickly down the Junzi Bridge.

"I dare not. I am lucky. I admire your talents." Helian Shan returned the gifts one by one. He did not take advantage of his talent and remained the same as usual.

"I admire the great talent."

At this time Feng Qingyan said to everyone to make Helian Shan famous.

Today’s comparison of rites and his words will surely spread throughout the world, and the “great talent that is admired” will also be spread throughout the world.

Therefore, everyone in the world knows that he is a "great talent to be admired".

Therefore, the name of Helian Mountain was officially spread throughout the world and became known to the world.

As for whether he can become famous throughout the world, or even famous all over the world, it depends on Helian Shan himself. After all, Xu Sheng can only help him become famous.

Instead of making him famous.

How high Helian Mountain can reach depends entirely on oneself.

Upon hearing this, Helian Shan immediately bowed respectfully to Feng Qingyan, feeling deeply moved. After all, it was Xu Sheng who helped him become famous...

Even Helian Shan could not resist the temptation of fame.

Perhaps there are not many people in the whole world who can resist it.

"No need to be polite, this is what you deserve."

Feng Qingyan smiled and walked back to the academy, saying loudly as he walked: "People are inspired by poetry, established by etiquette, and accomplished by music. This is a gift to you, and I hope you can become a saint and a wise man soon."

Everyone on both sides of the Junzi Bridge was shocked when they heard this. "People are inspired by poetry, established by etiquette, and accomplished by music?"

At this time, many people looked at Feng Qingyan in shock, vaguely feeling that this sentence seemed to contain an extremely terrifying power.

"People are inspired by poetry, established by etiquette, and accomplished by music..."

"The words of canonization are to divide people into three realms. The first realm is poetry, the second realm is etiquette, and the third realm is music."

"The three hundred poems can be summed up in one word: 'Think without evil'."

At this moment, some people began to think about what exactly the "poetic realm" that Feng Sheng mentioned was? He said, "Could it be that the first realm of human beings is innocence? Innocent means pure..."

"What is pure?"

“Pure means no impurities, and no distractions.”

"Could it be that what the saint said is that the first realm of human beings is to have no distractions and read quietly?" When some people thought of this, they became slightly excited, and felt that they seemed to have glimpsed the three realms of life mentioned by the saint.

“If a person reaches the realm of poetry, ritual, and music, can he enter the realm of sainthood?”

Feng Qingyan left.

However, the literati and poets at both ends of Junzi Bridge did not disperse immediately.

At this time, they actually sat down and started discussing the three major realms of life mentioned by Feng Sheng, hoping to find a way to break through the realm, or to realize the great path of life.

The three realms of poetry, ritual and music indeed bring infinite shock to people.

At this time, the teachers and instructors of the academy also started discussing the matter.

"The realm of poetry is innocence, innocence is purity, that is, without impurities..."

A teacher said so.

"The poetic realm is indeed free of distractions and thoughts. I agree with this statement."

There is another teaching.

Soon after, the etiquette competition on Junzi Bridge became known throughout the world.

Helian Shan's Three Books of Etiquette spread throughout the world and were recognized by countless people, especially Confucian scholars.

"Who is Helian Shan? How could he be able to name the three books of etiquette? Why was he unknown before?"

"Before, I was unknown, but now my name is known all over the world."

Many people were surprised when they heard it.

"The three realms of life mentioned by the Canon of the Saints are poetry, ritual, and music. I wonder if Canon of the Saints has reached the realm of music? However, since Canon of the Saints can name the three realms of life, he may have already reached the realm of music, or even achieved great success..."

At this time, many people in the world were discussing the Three Books of Etiquette and pondering over Feng Qingyan's three realms of life.

Although Xu Sheng did not say it, these are the three major realms of life.

However, almost everyone can feel that poetry, etiquette, and music are the three major realms of life, and it seems that these three realms hide an incomparably terrifying power.

It even hides the secret of sanctification.

Moreover, they have a vague feeling that if one can achieve the three realms of life, it is possible to glimpse the secret of becoming a saint, or even have one foot into the saintly realm.

It is because of canonization that one has stepped into the holy realm and has gained a glimpse into the three major realms of life.

In the back hall of the academy, An Xiu heard Feng Qingyan's talk about the three realms of life, and he vaguely felt the hidden power, and was somewhat shocked.

"Teacher, do you agree with the three realms of life?"

An Xiu pondered for a while.

"Teacher is now in the realm of courtesy." Dong Louhui murmured for a moment, "When the teacher was studying at the Twenty-Seven Book Mountain, he might have been in the realm of poetry. After breaking through the realm of poetry, the teacher broke through from the realm of literary appearance to the realm of great sage..."

An Xiu was somewhat shocked when he heard this, and said, "Poetry Realm, Etiquette Realm, Music Realm, do they really exist?"

“The teacher felt it clearly.”

Dong Louhui nodded, with shock in his eyes.

He now carefully recalled the situation when he finished reading Twenty-Seven Books, and it was exactly the poetic state that Feng Qingyan had described. This poetic state was summarized so aptly.

It made him shocked.
