Chapter 1808 The Path of the First Sage!
"A modest gentleman, gentle as jade"
Confucian things are like beautiful jade, most of them are extremely soft in nature, and it is rare to hear that there are things that can shorten one's life.
But whether it's Zhu Zi or Li Junxian, they all have a natural look, as if they were always like this.
"Senior brother, I know you want to help me, but as Buddhism said, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell will go to hell, so what if I lose my life, as long as the long-cherished wish of Confucianism can be realized, Junxian has no regrets, please make it possible, brother, and give me Confucius Holy Crown!"
Li Junxian also changed his address slightly, looked directly at Zhu Zi in front of him, and said firmly.
The last few words are earth-shattering!
Crown of Confucius!
Li Junxian bathed and fasted and came to Zhuzi Academy to invite the holy crown of the legendary Dacheng sage, the teacher of Confucius.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, when all the sages were singing together, it was the prosperous age of Confucianism, but no matter how powerful the Confucianism was, it could not withstand the erosion of time.
In the long time, everything about the saints has long since disappeared, and everything has long been turned into legends, but few people know that, as the patriarch of the entire Confucianism, there is a sacred object left behind by Dacheng the most holy Confucius. That is the crown of Confucius.
That is also the only thing left by Dacheng Zhisheng, no matter how long it takes, it will never decay.
Just as Confucianism advocates force and owns a sacred object such as the Holy Sword, the sacred object of Confucianism is the crown of Confucius, and Zhu Zi is the holder and guardian of this sacred object.
"well!"
Zhu Zi let out a long sigh:
"Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. You should know that if you want to obtain the crown of Confucius, you must go through the punishment of the seven precepts. This is more or less ominous, even so, you still have to go ?"
"You are envious and wish to go!"
Li Junxian said without hesitation.
There was silence in the school, the two looked at each other and no one spoke.
"In that case, come with me!"
As if only for a moment, and as if countless long centuries had passed, Zhu Zi finally broke the silence and spoke.
As soon as the voice fell, Zhu Zi turned around, and under Li Junxian's gaze, he pushed open a small door at the back of the school and walked in.
Li Junxian pondered for a moment, then stood up quickly, followed Zhu Zi and walked towards the back of Meilin.
Just behind the plum blossom grove, an ancient temple stands. Although it has been renovated, the core part of the temple is very old and has not changed at all.
Different from other temples in the plum blossom forest, this temple is completely silent, and the surrounding tens of feet are spotless. And around the temple are hundreds of powerful Jinwu Guards, all facing outside, motionless.
"Holy land of Confucianism and Taoism, anyone who trespasses will die!"
Just in front of this temple, a stone tablet stood, with these eight big characters written on it, and at the end there was a rubbing of a jade seal, obviously this was the imprint left by the Tang royal family.
"The crown of Confucius is the property of a saint. It is impossible for someone to steal it. Although I have said this before, Emperor Taizong still left this stele and sent heavy troops to guard it."
Right next to the stele, Zhu Zi stopped in his tracks.
"Come on, the road to the crown may be tougher than all the battles you've ever fought."
As Zhu Zi spoke, he quickly stepped over the stele, and behind him, Li Junxian paused for a moment, and then stepped over the stele.
"Squeak!"
In just a moment, the door was pushed open, revealing a passage in the palace in front of him.
It's just different from what I imagined, this passage is only as high as one person and more than four feet wide, and the inside is pitch black with only a very faint light, making it difficult to see what's going on inside.
"From here onwards is the road to the sage, and the seven punishments are in it. Whether you can get the crown of Confucius depends on your good luck. But I still want to advise you again, the road to the sage is dangerous Heavy, your Confucian sect, although you have superb military power, you have fallen far behind in terms of cultivation of mind and character, as well as in learning. This is why generations of Confucian leaders of yours,
Appeared in front of this temple, but few were able to succeed. "
"For more than a thousand years, there are only three people who can really win the crown of Confucius—if you want to look back, there is still time!"
Zhu Zi said in a deep voice.
"clatter!"
Li Junxian didn't speak, but responded with actions. He stepped on his feet, quickly passed through the gate, and walked in.
Zhu Zi sighed in his heart and said no more.
...
"This is the road to the sages..."
It was dark inside the passage, but Li Junxian's level of cultivation has long been unaffected, but at this moment, standing in the passage, Li Junxian couldn't help but think of many things one after another in his mind.
The way of the saints!
In the Confucian sect, it is definitely a nightmare existence. Just as Zhu Zi said, at least thirteen leaders of the Confucian sect lost their lives because they forced their way into this place, and their ambitions fell by the wayside.
Crown of Confucius!
Not everyone can take it. The reason why Confucianism is dormant for a long time is like a flash in the pan. It often only appears a few times in a whole dynasty for hundreds of years. It also has a lot to do with this.
"Master, no matter what, I must realize the long-cherished wish of our Confucianism sect. I will never let anyone destroy this hard-won world harmony."
In a blink of an eye, this idea flitted through his mind, Li Junxian's eyes were firm, and he quickened his pace and walked forward quickly.
The passage was deep and silent, only the sound of Li Junxian's footsteps echoed in the passage.
Li Junxian restrained his mind, looked alert, and walked in step by step.
Li Junxian has been like a thunderbolt since he was a child on this path of sagehood. In Confucianism, there are many classics mentioning this road, but few people know the specific content. Even those leaders of Confucianism who have experienced the road of sages rarely mention the specific content. The road to the first sage symbolizes the thorny road before becoming a sage, including many suspicions and doubts, the disaster of swordsmanship, and the disaster of prison and so on.
"clatter!"
While he was thinking, there was no sign at all, following Li Junxian's footsteps, huh, before he could react, there was a sudden change in front of his eyes, the surroundings were blazing, and the burning pain was like ten thousand ants biting. Came from all over the body. In the raging fire, countless corpses were piled on top of each other, piled up like a mountain, all over the field of vision.
These corpses were wearing armor, and there were broken knives and halberds all around, and battle flags were burning and fluttering in the raging fire.
This is a fierce battlefield!
Li Junxian was startled, before he understood what was going on, the next moment, bursts of *sounds came to his ears.
"...so hungry, I'm so hungry!"
At first, there was only one person's voice, but soon, the voice became louder and louder, and it sounded like countless people were hissing and wailing.
"Jun Xian, distribute our food to them."
Suddenly, a familiar and old voice came to Li Junxian's ears.
"Master?"
Li Junxian was startled, and subconsciously looked up. In the raging fire, an old man with white beard and hair was leading several young disciples in Confucian clothes, distributing rations to a group of skinny and hungry people around him.
"Master!"
Seeing that figure, Li Junxian was both surprised and happy, and hurried over.
"Master, we don't have much food. These days, all the brothers and sisters only drink a bowl of porridge every day. If this continues, the brothers and sisters may not be able to go very far!"
At this moment, another voice entered the ear. Beside the white-haired old man, a young man in blue Confucian clothes suddenly spoke, his brows were full of worry.
"Brother?"
Li Junxian's eyes widened abruptly, and his footsteps stopped abruptly.
"Jun Shan, I can't take care of that much anymore, it's a temporary relief!"
The white-haired old man sighed, with a mournful expression on his face:
"Jun Xian, remember, you can seek benevolence by killing your life, and you can gain righteousness by sacrificing your life. If you want to achieve great harmony in the world, you must make all preparations, including sacrificing your own life!"
The last sentence, the white-haired old man raised his head, but said to Li Junxian in the distance.
"Master..."
Li Junxian muttered to himself, looking at the old and pitiful face, listening to the familiar teachings, Li Junxian felt sour in his heart, and tears flowed down unconsciously.
"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry..."
"I haven't eaten for four days, and I haven't even gotten a drop of water. Elder, please take pity on me..."
...
At this time, the wailing and begging all around became louder and louder, and the raging fire became more and more vigorous. Around the old man and the young man, countless skinny and hungry people either crawled on the ground or staggered, all heading towards The direction of several people gathered together.
All the dry food in hand was quickly distributed, but more and more hungry people gathered around, and the voice of wailing and begging became louder and louder, even Li Junxian was crowded with hungry people.
"Asshole, don't eat!"
Suddenly, a hungry man held a spear and pierced the young man in Confucian clothes from behind. The tip of the spear pierced through the chest, and blood gushed down.
"Brother!"
Li Junxian was shocked, his eyes opened suddenly, his whole body was cold, and he was about to rush forward subconsciously, but at this moment, he heard an angry voice in his ears.
"It's all you damned Confucian scholars! Look around, it's all done by you! What kind of great harmony in the world, only knowing hypocrisy and hypocrisy, is useless at all!"
The hungry man was holding a spear with an extremely angry expression on his face.
"What about the food! Why is there so little, you must have hidden it! Damn rotten scholars, didn't you say that you are helping the world? Then share your meat with us!"
Puchi, another hungry man with an angry look pierced the young man in Confucian clothes with a sword, and the expressions of the hungry people around him became more and more excited, and they became more and more thirsty.
"you!"
At this moment, Li Junxian was shocked and angry when he saw the angry and ferocious faces around him. The surrounding fire was raging, Li Junxian didn't even think about it, the stellar energy in his body was shaking, and it was about to shake the hungry people around.
But at this moment, Li Junxian saw the master in front of him stretch out a palm, and made a stop motion to himself.
"Jun Xian, let them go! Only by killing one's life can one seek benevolence, and one can gain righteousness by sacrificing one's life. Without this kind of awareness, how can we realize our Confucian ideals and restore peace to the world? This scene, sooner or later, you will also will meet."
The flames were burning, and Li Junxian saw Master's kind face with a smile on his face, just like what he remembered deep in his mind.
