Confucian Cultivator Under One Person

Fu Yuan sighed slightly and did not rush back to his room. Instead, he sat down in the living room and waited.

I don't know how long I waited before Fu Yuan's door opened. Fu's father and mother came out. They didn't seem panicked when they saw Fu Yuan. It seemed that they had made preparations in advance and found an excuse.

Fu Ma said as soon as she opened her mouth, "Erxiao, your dad and I took a look at your wall of awards and your books. Why are they all in classical Chinese? Your dad and I can't understand them..."

Under the dim light, Fu Yuan looked at them, his eyes seemed to be shining, making them feel as if they were under the bright sun, with all the shadows and sneaky things exposed without any cover, which made her unable to continue speaking.

After a moment, Fu Yuan gathered his gaze, stood up and said, "It's late, you should go to bed early too."

As he said this, he walked past them and headed towards the room.

Fu's father and mother wanted to stop him, but when Fu Yuan approached, they subconsciously moved away, opened the door, and let Fu Yuan enter the room.

After the door was closed, the two looked at each other in surprise. Their son was so weird!

The room had been turned upside down, especially the books on the desk, which were in a mess.

After silently arranging the books, Fu Yuan sat quietly on the chair and sighed after a moment:

This matter is not over yet!

Chapter 16: Inheritance Causes Dispute (Part )

The next morning, Fu Yuan got up, said goodbye to his grandparents, and rode his bike back to school.

When I returned home on the first weekend, the two had indeed left.

Life seemed to be the same as usual, but every time Fu Yuan returned home from school, he would see strangers wandering around.

It would be more accurate to say that it was Fu Yuan who saw them rather than that they came specifically to see Fu Yuan. Fu Yuan felt that these people were not ordinary people, perhaps they were the so-called extraordinary people.

Fu Yuan let them see it openly, and those people pretended to meet him by chance at first, but later they looked at him carefully in front of Fu Yuan.

Xu Xiang once said that there is an iron rule, or bottom line, in the world of extraordinary people, that is, disputes between extraordinary people will never involve ordinary people!

That's why Fu's father and mother took the lead and used ordinary people to test Fu Yuan, an ordinary person.

When Mr. and Mrs. Fu had no results, the stranger came.

Fu Yuan didn't know how to judge whether a person was an extraordinary person, but those who came to the village obviously had the means to judge. Most of them shook their heads in disappointment and left after seeing Fu Yuan.

Obviously, they determined that Fu Yuan was not an alien!

……

There is never a shortage of people who break the iron rules in this world, nor is there a shortage of people who have no bottom line.

Another weekend, Fu Yuan rode his bike back home. The moment he stepped at the door, he felt something was wrong.

I can’t put it into words specifically, it seems like the environment or the atmosphere at home is a little different.

My home used to be warm and peaceful, but when I came back this time, it felt desolate and cold...

However, all of this disappeared the moment Fu Yuan stepped into the house.

It was like ice and snow melting away in an instant when encountering the scorching sun, and the environment at home became warm and peaceful again.

Fu Yuan looked around with some confusion, but couldn't see anything wrong, so he didn't take it seriously.

……

At this time, on a river bank, two people were looking at Fu Yuan's house.

One of the old men's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise: "How is it possible?"

A girl around sixteen or seventeen beside him asked crisply, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

The old man swallowed hard and said, "Just now, in a split second, all the energy in the Feng Shui layout I set up was instantly scattered..."

The girl's voice stammered, "Fu Yuan is an alien? But many people think he's not an alien!"

"No, it's different!"

The old man stared intently at the energy above the house and said dryly, "Even an extraordinary person would be affected by my Feng Shui. At most, they can only hold on a little longer by relying on their own Qi.

But the current situation has completely destroyed all the Feng Shui layouts... No, not destroyed, but changed... That's not right, the layout hasn't changed, but all the Qi has been replaced..."

The girl wondered, "What are you talking about?"

The old man recalled bitterly and said, "I have seen this kind of situation in the inheritance of the sect... We Feng Shui masters all use the natural terrain to check whether the Feng Shui Qi of a place is good or bad. Then we change the layout to change the Qi within the area.

But all Feng Shui arrangements change the Qi through the environment, thus determining the quality of the Feng Shui.

But there is one exception!"

The girl asked, "What's going on?"

The old man said with difficulty: "In the inheritance of the sect, there is a kind of people who can ignore the environment and the energy, as long as they live in a Feng Shui treasure land.

You must have heard that a mountain is famous not because of its height, but because of the immortals living there; a river is magical not because of its depth, but because of the dragons living there. This is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant... Such people are called Confucian saints!

Even if it is a deadly place according to Feng Shui, as long as such a person lives there, it will become a Feng Shui treasure land!"

The girl was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, "There are still Confucian saints now? Are you kidding me! Even if Fu Yuan studied Confucianism since he was a child, how old is he now?"

The old man exhaled slowly, turned to look at the girl, and said, "The Feng Shui plan I set up was destroyed the moment he stepped through the door. This kind of person is simply the natural nemesis of our Feng Shui masters!

No matter what kind of Feng Shui plan is set up, it will all be in vain the moment he steps into it... He is so restrained!

Xiaoxiao, I am powerless. I cannot afford to offend such a person. You should find someone else. Goodbye!

After saying that, he left without looking back no matter how the girl called him.

……

Fu Yuan did not realize that someone was plotting this, and he didn't even know what he had done unconsciously.

When his grandparents came back from the medicine field, he saw that they looked a little tired, so he said a few words of concern. After chatting for a while, the tiredness of the two elders disappeared, and Fu Yuan didn't take it to heart.

After the weekend, Fu Yuan went to school as usual.

During the Chinese New Year, Mr. and Mrs. Fu still didn't come back, as if their return was fake. The scene of the family sitting around the table that night seemed like an illusion.

My grandparents have gotten used to this and just sighed and let it go.

In the second year of junior high school, Fu Yuan's academic performance continued to lead the school.

The same situation persisted in the third year of junior high school. Some key high schools had even contacted Fu Yuan in advance, hoping that he would enroll there.

In the second semester of the third year of junior high school, Fu Yuan's peaceful life was completely disrupted.

……

Fu Yuan plans to go home on the weekend and discuss with his grandparents which high school to go to.

As a result, when Fu Yuan was halfway through riding his bike, he suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped.

It was a strange feeling. Fu Yuan suddenly felt his heart stirring, and desire was steaming...

puberty?

Fu Yuan has been cultivating himself for many years, how could he not even be able to control his own desires?

Not only desire, Fu Yuan also felt that his emotions were being stirred, anger, depression, sadness, fear... switching repeatedly in his heart.

It's not your own heart that is moving, it's someone who is messing with your emotions!

Fu Yuan looked up and saw a short man wearing glasses. He waved at him from a distance and then disappeared around the corner.

After thinking about it, Fu Yuan pushed his bicycle and followed. They had already come to his door, and there was no way to avoid them.

……

When they reached a deserted spot, the short man stopped and said with a smile, "Hello Fu Yuan, my name is Lv Liang, and I'm from Quanxing... You know Quanxing, right?"

Fu Yuan nodded, looked around, and said, "Where are the others? Why don't they all come out together? It's not like a group of extraordinary people are afraid of an ordinary person like me, right?"

"You are not an ordinary person!"

A fat monk stepped forward, smiling like Maitreya Buddha, and said, "Even after being tortured by my Twelve Emotional Restraint Formation, you can still maintain your emotions. Even an extraordinary person can't do that!"

Fu Yuan said calmly, "I'm sorry, I'm not an alien, so I don't understand your alien methods... Who are you?"

The fat monk said, "Quan Xing, Gao Ning."

A charming voice came out: "And me, Quan Xing Xia He, little brother, your aura is so strong and powerful that it really makes me unable to extricate myself... But why are you completely unaffected by desire?"

A woman who exudes charm and temptation, just standing there, is able to pluck people's hearts and make people unable to extricate themselves.

She was beautiful, but Xia He's appearance wasn't enough to bring disaster to the nation. What captivated her was her aura and her aura...

It was as if Fu Yuan exuded righteousness, while Xia He exuded seductive lust. It was this lustful aura that made it difficult for ordinary people to control themselves.

However, this lust could affect Fu Yuan's body but not his mind, so Fu Yuan just looked at it a few more times and no longer cared.

Fat monk Gao Ning said, "To be precise, he's already been affected. You know, my Twelve Labor Emotion Formation is like rubbing a piece of wire; it either breaks or it doesn't move."

But when I was fiddling with his emotions, it felt like I was pulling a rubber band. No matter how hard I pulled it, it would always snap back to its original shape... This was the first time I'd ever seen that happen."

Xia He and Lu Liang didn't know how to answer.

Fu Yuan chuckled and said, "To achieve harmony, heaven and earth will be in their proper places, and all things will be nurtured. As long as I 'keep the middle', heaven and earth will return to their proper places!"

As the saying goes, the general can be taken away from an army, but the will of a common man cannot be taken away! I have cultivated myself for many years, and you two think you can control my will by controlling my emotions and lust. That's too much of a fantasy!

Lü Liang was surprised and said, "He really is a Confucian saint!"

"I don't dare to be a saint."

Fu Yuan said politely, "Confucianism calls the absence of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness "zhong," and the expression of them in moderation "he" (harmony). Confucian self-cultivation is simply the proper control of various emotions.

You should be able to see that I am not an extraordinary person. I have learned the entry-level methods of extraordinary people, but my aptitude is too poor and I can't get in.

You strange people came to me just for the inheritance left by Grandpa Liu. You think that if I can't even become a strange person, what's the use of this inheritance even if I have it?"

Gao Ning narrowed his eyes and did not answer, but Fu Yuan's emotions were still violently agitated.

Xia He's eyes were fixed on Fu Yuan's lower body, but Fu Yuan stood straight and calmly without any hesitation.

This is the difference between Confucianism and Taoism.

Taoism advocates a lack of desire, hoping to reduce desires or even eliminate them, while Confucianism advocates restraining desires to the extent of controlling desires.

Lu Liang sighed and said, "That's what we say, but we won't be satisfied until we can confirm it... Brother Fu Yuan, I can directly interrogate a person's soul and extract their memories. Why don't you let me interrogate your soul? That way, we'll be satisfied too."

Fu Yuan stared at Lu Liang for a long time, until Lu Liang subconsciously avoided his gaze. Then he said calmly, "Sure! I also want to see how your extraordinary methods can shake my will!"
