Text Chapter 1414 Tianxin Pill

Of course, Qin Lang knew a lot about the history of his own nation. At least he had studied the history textbooks in middle school. He admitted that Confucianism had a huge influence on the entire Chinese civilization. Otherwise, there would not be "three religions and nine streams, and Confucianism is the only one." "Authentic" is the saying, and the popular saying is "Everything is inferior, but reading is superior."

However, Qin Lang really didn't know what the relationship was between Confucianism and practitioners, so he could only wait for the young monk Danling to give him an explanation.

"Boss, do you know why Confucianism has been so [***] throughout the ages?" Young Monk Danling has also begun to keep pace with the times and knows how to use words like "[***]explosion". "Think about it. Buddhism and Taoism are so powerful, but they are still excluded from the mainstream of all dynasties and cannot shake the foundation of Confucianism. You should know how terrifying Confucianism is."

"Didn't you say that Confucianism practices Buddhism? Where are their monks?" Qin Lang asked.

"Boss, Confucian monks are basically extinct now." Young Monk Dan Ling said, "Maybe there are still some in the world of cultivation, but they are definitely gone in China."

"How to say?"

"Confucian monks pay attention to cultivating the mind, which is the so-called cultivating the mind and raising the surname. The heart of the Confucian monks is concerned about the country and the people, and the country and the country. The 'qi' they cultivate is not qigong, but It is 'Haoran Zhengqi'. Regarding this, you can ask the people of the Mo Sect for confirmation. In the past, what the people of the Mo Sect were most afraid of were not people from Buddhism and Taoism, but people from Confucianism. Although people from Confucianism do not know Kung Fu , but everyone has cultivated the awe-inspiring righteousness. Once he exhales, it can be combined with the awe-inspiring righteousness in the world, and any evil spirits, ghosts and monsters will be drunk to death by the Confucian monks!" said the young monk Dan Ling. , while imitating the appearance of a Confucian monk, but its movements are too funny.

However, after what little monk Dan Ling said, Qin Lang had to face the existence of "Confucian monks". After further explanation by little monk Dan Ling, Qin Lang knew that the way of practice of Confucian monks was completely different from that of other sects. Other sects all "cultivate martial arts", but only Confucian people "cultivate literature".

Many people think of literary scholars as powerless scholars, but those people are not real Confucians. A great Confucian who truly has a great and upright mind can not only overcome evil spirits and heretics, but also have a magnanimous mind. He can win the love of the common people at the bottom and the trust of the king at the top.

Among the people, one can respond to everyone's call and govern the country; in the main hall, one can scold sycophants and cowardly kings until they bow their heads and beg for mercy, and avoid them. This is the real great Confucian, and these people are Confucian monks.

And the most amazing thing is that Confucian monks do not transcend themselves through Kung Fu realm, but rely on merit to transcend themselves and become saints through merit. This way of practice seems a bit unbelievable, but Confucian scholars of all ages have done this, so In the era of orthodox Confucianism, there were sayings such as "one fate, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulations of yin virtues and five readings". Accumulating negative virtue is the meaning of merit. Confucian practitioners believe that merit is a test standard to measure the level of a person's cultivation. Therefore, Confucianism attaches great importance to the examination of character and performance. For example, "serving an official for one term will benefit one party." This standard is to test the "merits" of a Ru family official. If the person being assessed fails to meet the requirements, not only will he not be promoted, but he will also be impeached by his officials. Those with high merit can be promoted and reused, and can display their talents on a broader platform and accumulate more merit.

Qin Lang once sensed the power of merit, so he knew that merit was not so easy to obtain, but becoming a saint through merit should be theoretically feasible, because Qin Lang could indeed feel the impact of merit on his martial soul and spiritual realm. Washing and upgrading, if the power of merit is strong enough, it should be possible to turn a person's ordinary soul into a soul or a holy soul, until the body becomes holy and ascends in the daytime.

In short, the existence of Confucian monks is indeed a new approach. They are indeed completely different from other religions. Because of their close integration with the country and the country, Confucianism once became the most prosperous religion. This of course refers to the land of China. However, Buddhism and Taoism still exist today, but where is Confucianism?

Today's Confucian monks have ceased to exist in name only. Let me ask you, although today's officials claim to be students of Confucianism, do they ever have the slightest bit of character of Confucian scholars? What a true Confucian relies on is his pride and his awe-inspiring righteousness.

What is the character and righteousness of Confucianism?

Dare to angrily rebuke the ignorant king and sycophant ministers for their perverse behavior in the royal hall; dare to admonish the people for their lives, even bumping their heads against pillars and splattering blood in the hall; even if they become ministers of subjugation, they would rather die than surrender; even if they become a shepherd, they can still live like this for ten years My heart cares about my motherland...

Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history.

Such people are the true Confucian scholars and the backbone of Confucianism. It is also strange to say that although Buddhism and Taoism have many talented people and have strong power, in terms of character, they are far behind those of Confucianism. Of course, except today, the truly virtuous Confucians are probably extinct now. Even if they exist, they probably live in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness.

A Confucian scholar with great righteousness has become a unique figure in China.

However, through the explanation of the little monk Danling, Qin Lang also has some understanding of Confucian monks, and he probably knows what makes this monk unique. Qin Lang has always been very receptive to new ideas and new things. He believes that what the little monk Danling said makes sense. Confucian people who only cultivate their minds and strength can still become saints. For example, Confucius has done this for thousands of years. Saint, no doubt.

There are many people who have become immortals since ancient times, but how many can become eternal saints?

How many Confucius temples are there in China, and how many statues of the Master are receiving incense and worship? This is the power of becoming a saint, and many people who become immortals only have a few small temples to worship.

Confucianism cultivates the mind, or like some Tantric monks who only cultivate spiritual power. Although it seems a bit incredible, it is still possible to achieve results in the end.

Among the Confucian monks, there are also alchemists. This is the "Tianxin Dan". The so-called Tianxin means that Confucian monks should "take the heavenly mind into the upper body and express the sentiments of the people", understand the fate of heaven and earth, and seek welfare for the country and the country. The person who refines the Tianxin Pill must be a virtuous person in Confucianism, because the Tianxin Pill requires the expenditure of merit.

But there is no doubt that Qin Lang has a very strong interest in Tianxin Pill.
