Chapter 1618 Is This "Righteousness"?
The Jixia Academy is really a casual place. It's not that people here don't work hard. On the contrary, the teachers are very attentive in teaching, and the students are also very serious.
The so-called casualness is a sense of relaxation from the inside out.
Everyone works very hard during class, and they are all laughing before and after class.
I don't know if it's because it's too closed, the pressure from the outside world is difficult to get in. The people here are far from those in Linzi City. They are always in a hurry, as if they are afraid of being late for anything.
After leaving Guitai, Jiang Wang went to the Buddhist class next.
The teacher mainly lectured on the "Lotus Sutra" and also analyzed a set of Buddhist mahamudras... The lecture was not bad, but he looked bitter throughout the whole process.
It's hard not to be bitter to practice Buddhism in Qi.
There were only three people in the class, including Jiang Wang.
The other two were talents cultivated by the academy since childhood, one man and one woman, sitting in the corner.
They didn't have a good face for Jiang Wang who barged in rashly.
Jiang Wang ignored him and finished the class by himself, and frequently discussed with the teacher.
This made the teacher of the academy, whose common name was Yan Chanyi, very excited. Perhaps he had been talking to himself for too long, and he was reluctant to leave after the get out of class. He kept asking Jiang Wang if he would come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and hinted that there would be more powerful Buddhist teachings to be taught...
The man and the woman were flirting in the corner the whole time, and they didn't pay any attention to their studies.
Jiang Wang doubted whether they could meet the requirements of the academy when they started serving.
Qi Ting spent energy and resources to raise them, but it was not in vain.
When they couldn't enter places like the Academy of Arts and the Beast Taming Workshop, they had to go to the mining area or the beast's lair to serve hard labor, or go to the maze, the gate of all monsters and other places to fill the number...
Of course, this was not something Jiang Wang needed to worry about, everyone had their own choices.
The atmosphere in the Jixia Academy was free, but the schoolwork was actually very tight.
Each class lasts about two hours, and basically from dawn to dusk, there are three classes.
Of course, from the hour of Yin to the hour of You, there are always teachers teaching in the academy, and there is more than one teacher teaching at the same time.
What class to take and how many classes to take are all chosen by the students themselves.
But no matter how hard-working a person is, he can only take four classes a day at most.
The four hours of Xu, Hai, Zi, and Chou are the time for students to practice or rest on their own.
There was no class that Jiang Wang wanted to take between the hours of Yin and Mao today, so he practiced on his own until the hour of Mao before going out.
After Taoism and Buddhism, his third class today was Confucianism.
The lecturer was the Lu Xiangqing.
Jiang Wang was dragged by Yan Chanyi to talk for too long in the Buddhism class, so he missed the start time.
Even if he rushed all the way with the Immortal Art of Pingbu Qingyun, he was still half a quarter late when he arrived at the "Zhengda Guangmingyuan" for class.
He hasn't felt this nervous about being late for a long time!
When he was in Chengdaoyuan, he had to take care of An'an's meals and clothes and send An'an to private school every day, and he was almost never late.
The only time he missed class was before An'an arrived in Fenglin City. Once, Jiang Wang was instigated by Du Yehu to get Zhao Rucheng drunk together. Linghe came out to stop the wine, and Fang Pengju also came to help the big brother. As a result, all five of them got drunk... They missed class together, stood side by side outside the classroom, and were punished by Xiao Tiemian.
Especially at this moment... Lu Xiangqing was severely teaching students, and this scene was too shadowy from the past.
"Wu Zhou, Wu Zhou, do you know what is righteousness and what is profit? How old are you to argue about righteousness and profit? Do you dare to say that you have insight into human nature? You have been high and mighty for too long, and you don't know what firewood, rice, oil and salt are. You really should go to the ridges of the fields and live in the beast's nest for a few days to see how some people live!"
Jiang Wang stood innocently at the gate of the courtyard, thinking whether to sneak in quietly or wait for Lu Xiangqing to finish scolding him and say hello first.
Lu Xiangqing scolded loudly, and his angry side eyes swept over and fell on Wu'an Hou, who was received yesterday, and immediately eased: "Are you here? Find a place to sit by yourself."
Many students in the courtyard showed incredible expressions, turned their heads and looked back, wondering if any prince or princess came, why was Lu Lao Mo so lenient - the princes of the Qi family had all taken classes in the Jixia Academy.
Of course, after seeing Jiang Wang, there was nothing to say.
The youngest military merit marquis of the Great Qi Empire, his status is not worse than that of the prince!
In the Zhengda Guangming Courtyard, there were desks and desks, and all the students sat upright, with the four treasures of the study spread out on the desks.
The podium at the front was obviously higher.
In the Confucian concept, the teacher-student relationship is a very important ethical relationship, and the hierarchy is also very strict.
Compared with the crowded Taoism class and the sparsely populated Buddhism class, the Confucian class is much more normal, very moderate, including Jiang Wang himself, there are less than 20 people in total.
The people he knew were Xie Baoshu, Bao Zhongqing, Wen Lianmu, Lin Xian, and Gu Yan.
As soon as he saw Jiang Wang, Lin Xian silently pulled the chair next to him away - because of Lu Lao Mo's temper, he didn't dare to shout. He had witnessed several slaps on the palms in the few classes he had attended, which was really scary.
Jiang Wang put his palms together, made an apologetic gesture, and walked towards Lin Xian.
Xie Baoshu happened to be sitting in the outermost seat, but he didn't seem to notice his old neighbor at all, and lowered his head to read seriously.
Jiang Wang sat down, with Lin Xian on his right and Gu Yan behind him.
In Zhaoguo's environment of extreme admiration for Qi, Gu Yan's attitude towards Qi people was really rare.
It is said that Li Longchuan communicated with him privately in Xingyueyuan and gave him friendly persuasion.
In the previous Taoism class, he sat in a corner and seemed invisible throughout the whole process. Sitting so close this time, I couldn't avoid it, so I managed a smile.
Jiang Wang didn't put on airs and responded with a smile.
Seeing Jiang Wang sit down, Lu Xiangqing glanced at the student who was already sweating on his forehead after being criticized by him, and snorted: "Sit down too."
Today, he is a highly educated and highly Confucian man.
He turned a step on the podium and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Today we will say 'righteousness'!"
There are three parts of the "Book of Changes", the so-called "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Zhouyi", which are the first of the group of scriptures.
Both Confucianism and Taoism study the "Book of Changes", and of course their interpretations are different.
What Lu Xiangqing is talking about today is "Yuan Henry Zhen", which means "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman constantly strives for self-improvement."
The main topic is the word "profit", which means "everyone has his own life" and "everything has its own kind". It talks about the proper value and harvest of everything.
The student named Wu Zhou, who had been studying in the academy since he was a child, jumped out and said that a gentleman is not good at what is beneficial. As a result, he was scolded by Lu Xiangqing.
Or maybe just a reprimand is not enough, and it is not explained thoroughly. Or perhaps it was to tell Marquis Wu An something interesting and to show off his ability as a regular teacher at Jixia Academy...
In short, Lu Xiangqing changed the topic and suddenly talked about "righteousness".
All the beings present listened carefully.
"As we all know, the Confucian path is generally taken from the six characters of 'propriety, righteousness, trust, virtue, benevolence, and killing'. In addition, there are also words such as 'honesty, shame, filial piety, brotherhood, and loyalty', but in the end it is not so mainstream. …”
He started with the four words "dao", and then suddenly asked -
"What is 'righteousness'?!"
His stern eyes fell. At this moment, he was solemn and inviolable. It seemed that the majesty of the teacher was fully realized and condensed into substantial pressure.
No one in the audience answered.
This proposition is so grand that many sages have spent their entire lives explaining it. Who can explain it all in just a few words?
The Starlight Holy Tower is the foundation for describing the Tao, and Shen Er Mingzhi is the elaboration of the Tao. Only those who can truly implement their own path can truly "come to the world like gods"!
The cultivation of Shenlinjing itself is the principle that Lu Xiangqing wants to explain.
At this moment, his God is his “righteousness”!
People who do not have enough realm are not qualified to analyze at all.
But after Lu Xiangqing's eyes wandered for a while, he did not give a direct answer, but leisurely said: "The sages divided the history before the present world into four major eras: ancient times, ancient times, medieval times, and modern times. A long time. , Eternal in the world... What do you all know about the ancient times?"
Xie Baoshu no longer immersed himself in reading at this moment, and replied aloud: "That was the longest era and the darkest era."
Bao Zhongqing also replied: "In ancient times, it was an era when demons ruled the world."
Jiang Wang listened quietly without saying a word.
Lu Xiangqing nodded and said: "In that distant era where I don't know when it started and when it ended, most of the information is no longer verifiable...
The demon clan is favored by heaven and earth.
The power of this clan is innate, they are born with exposed Dao veins, and they are born with magical powers. He is the lord of heaven and earth, rules over all races, and has the supreme status.
The human race at that time was at the bottom among all races in the world, and was extremely mediocre.
Our human race generally has blocked Tao channels, and only a very small number of people who are born with Tao channels can practice. "
Having said this, he looked around and said, "Just like the many students who entered the palace to practice this time, only the Champion is born with the Taoist lineage."
Chong Xuanzun did not come to his class.
To be more precise... Zhong Xuanzun did not come to class.
No one's class is attended.
This time when he entered Jixia Academy, he came here purely to see the "scenery outside the window", aiming to go one step further and grasp the essence of the world.
"Of course, the human race does not determine its life based on talent. Marquis Wu'an is not born with a Taoist lineage, but he still has 1,400 more households in the city!"
All living things are coming.
Jiang Wang's expression was a bit stiff, neither smiling nor not smiling.
Fortunately, Lu Xiangqing didn’t really want to use Jiang Wang to criticize Xuan Zun. He mentioned it briefly and continued: “Why is it said that ancient times are the darkest times?
I only want to say one thing, please imagine——
Historical records say, ‘Human beings are food for all races. ’”
Lu Xiangqing paused, giving the students some buffering time, and then said: "The first generation of human emperors, the Suiren clan, rose up in adversity, protected the human race, struggled to survive, lit fire for the human race, and drove away the darkness.
The earliest group of practitioners gathered together to discuss the future of the human race and think about the path of practice... All their thoughts on practice, combined together, were the earliest 'Tao Sect' in the world and the source of all extraordinary power in the world.
They developed the method of qi and blood rushing through the meridians, opening up a new way for humans to obtain extraordinary power in addition to their natural channels.
This method is extremely dangerous, and tens of thousands of people are often killed or injured before one can reach the extraordinary level.
Even today, the practice system has developed and changed from generation to generation. In the process of qi and blood circulation, martial arts are first used to train the body, and then medicine is used to regulate the state. Those who can walk through this ancient road are only one in ten thousand.
But in that era, in order to gain the power to protect themselves and the ethnic group, the ancestors of the human race risked their lives and went forward one after another.
A strong human being was born!
They either fight with foreign races or open up the dark land to win a place for the human race and compete for survival resources. Turn those who feed on humans into food for humans.
Three Taoist orders were born during this period, and the fire of inheritance has been burning ever since.
From then on, the geniuses of the human race emerged in large numbers, shining like stars for a while!
The demon clan uses Taoist writing, and they can know the geography of heaven and earth with just one word.
In the human race, Cangjie created characters to describe the great road. Even those who cannot see the Great Way can understand the principles of the Great Way. Even those who are unable to transcend can still explore the secrets of transcendence. When the words were written, ghosts cried and gods mourned, and heaven and earth were sad!
The demon clan is born with Taoism, and they are born with everything.
There is a genius in the human race who creates a pulse-opening elixir, so that those who cannot be extraordinary can become extraordinary from now on! A new era kicked off from that moment. In that long dark age, the human race has since risen! "
This is a very difficult and glorious history.
Lu Xiangqing's voice became more and more passionate as he narrated, until this sentence, he softened again: "The so-called 'human race does not determine its life based on talent' is only true since this genius."
But he asked: "But do you know the name of the genius of the human race?"
All the students in the audience were at a loss.
All students who can sit here, of course, know the preciousness of the pulse-opening pill recipe and understand the significance of the pulse-opening pill.
But in all visible historical records, the name of the sage who created the Pulse Opening Pill is indeed missing.
Wen Lianmu said with some difficulty: "His name has been erased."
"Yes, He should have a great name." Lu Xiangqing sighed: "But in the long river of history, this name has been erased."
Lu Xiangqing looked at these students, with a distant sadness in his voice: "Everyone, he has great merits, created immortal great deeds, opened the way for millions of people, and his holy name is 'Kaidao'! He should have been the successor of Suiren." But why is the name of the second generation of human emperor unknown to the world today, and its traces have been erased in the long history?”
Kai Dao...
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.
Only today did he find out what a great name the sage who created the Pulse Opening Pill had.
The background color of the Pulse Opening Pill is blood, which he has known for a long time. As early as in the Sanshan City of Zhuang State, as early as in the beast's nest that Xu State and Yin Guan witnessed together...
But he also understood very well that the Pulse Opening Pill was the foundation of the entire extraordinary world. He doesn't have enough ability or vision, so it's impossible for him to have any impact on this.
Even his knowledge of the Pulse Opening Pill was only superficial and half-clawed. I have no right to make false claims about right or wrong.
So he was silent, then and now.
He can't change the status quo, and he doesn't know how to change it. I can only continue to move forward with confusion and confusion. I hope that one day I will reach a high enough place, and when I look back, I will be able to understand the answers to all questions.
And Lu Xiangqing continued to talk about the history of that distant era: "The prescription of Kaimai Dan was independently researched by Kaidao. We all know that the main ingredient of Kaimai Dan is Dao Vein.
At that time, Kaidao was just an ordinary person who was not extraordinary, and his research was not recognized. Every extraordinary power was precious to the human race. Who would let him study it?
So where does the Dao lineage he needs come from?
The demon clan is the common master of the world. It is impossible to study it with the demon clan's dao lineage. Once discovered, it will be the disaster of annihilation. He cannot get close to the extraordinary strong men of other races.
so……
He stole babies who were born with Taoism, and attacked human monks who were seriously injured in fighting with foreign races...
Using these blood-stained Dao veins, he finally completed his research! "
The whole house was silent.
The great and the mean, the glorious and the sinful.
This is truly a shockingly cruel description!
Lu Xiangqing let out a long sigh with a very complicated expression: "Everyone, today we are going to talk about justice——"
His serious eyes swept over everyone in the audience, and his voice rose loudly: "Is this 'righteousness'?"
