Chapter 519 518. Old Learning and New Learning, Scholars and Common People (Two Chapters in One)

Hearing Lei Jun's words, Wang Guiyuan and Chu Kun both looked over.

Because of the inconvenience of information exchange, they had less contact with Emperor Zhang Wantong of the Tang Dynasty over the years. Not only did each contact involve valuable information, but the interval was long, and some changes in the situation may not be grasped in time.

"When the little senior sister received the letter, I informed her as soon as possible."

Lei Junyan said: "In the world of Confucianism, new learning has been divided in recent years. There are voices from Yanzhao.

I want to imitate what happened in the Heavenly Palace in the past. "

Wang Guiyuan and Chu Kun looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

The rise of the new world of Confucianism was based on external disasters that dealt a severe blow to the famous families that were originally rooted in the world, and even wiped out the disaster.

Over thousands of years of history, literary societies formed by Confucian monks in Zhejiang, Huaidong, Yanzhao, and Bashu became a common phenomenon.

Among them, the Bashu area, due to its relatively remote and closed location, ultimately failed to withstand the suppression and siege by the old school families. Now it has almost disappeared. A large number of academies and poetry societies were destroyed, and a handful of survivors fled and had to leave Bashu.

However, due to external threats from the demons outside the territory and time, other old school families had no time to regroup into a strong and powerful cultural context in Bashu within a short period of time, and could not bring them into their own sphere of influence.

The remaining three areas of Zhejiang, Huaidong, and Yanzhao are prosperous in new learning, and their development momentum is very gratifying and rapid.

But as time went by, the new Confucian monks in Yanzhao gradually came up with different voices based on ancient books.

The specific origin is currently unknown to Lei Jun and others.

However, the real world of heaven cannot be seen in the world of scholars, and Lei Jun speculates that the changes there are related to the world of heaven.

There may also be some leftover treasures from the Celestial Palace before the ancient catastrophe.

In the past few years, Gao Tiansui, like Zhang Wantong and Zheng Baiyu, did not slip into the world of demons but came to this world of scholars.

With his cultivation strength and talent, he may have played an important role in the development and changes of Yanzhao New Learning.

This may be the reason why Gao Tiansui stayed in the world of Confucianism for many years after failing to get the other half of the universe map from Zhang Wantong.

"Maybe——.——.it's not just the new lineage of Yanzhao Confucianism."

Wang Guiyuan pondered and said: "Gao Tianjun values ​​​​ideas over family background, and has always been eclectic. In the world of scholars there, he may have attracted more like-minded people."

For example, the Great Demon.

There are many bloodthirsty and crazy monsters, but there are also rational but cold and cruel beings.

In the past, the Ancient Heavenly Palace rescued both spiritual beasts and monster beasts.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of the Great Thousand Worlds, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were also great demons who were subdued by Gao Tiansui among the old subordinates of Tiangong.

"As for the new Confucianism in the world, doesn't Mr. Lu Shan want to ask about the changes in Yan and Zhao?" Chu Kun asked softly.

Mr. Lu Shan, Yan Aoyun, is now the number one scholar in the new world of Confucianism, and is also known as a later sage.

This person does not know that he has an understanding at the level of the universe, and at the same time he also has the foundation of the Wenquxingzhao level, which is to observe the common people, also known as illuminating the common people.

It is recognized by scholars all over the world that Yan Aoyun and Wen Quxing were jointly called the former sage Cheng Cheng, who was responsible for observing the heaven and earth. They were the beginning of the new Confucianism. They were already known as "Cheng Zi" and "Yan Zi" when they were still alive.

Cheng He, the former sage, was the first to rise up and break the original situation of the old school. Mr. Yan Aoyun, known as the later sage, Lu Shan, followed closely behind.

Two generations of Confucian talents with vast experience came to the world within a short period of a hundred years, finally laying the foundation for the birth of the new learning.

But then Cheng He died young, and now only Yan Aoyun is left as the vague leader and master of the new Confucian school.

Cheng He started in Yanzhao.

Yan Aoyun originated from Huaidong.

After the collapse of the old school traditions in Liangzhe and Bashu, new schools began to flourish in these places under the influence of the two sages Cheng Yan.

After Cheng He passed away, the Yanzhao New School lineage was carried forward by his disciples and students, but different people had different ideas.

Gradually different sounds are made, forming different hills.

In the face of the suppression of the Japanese school, although Yan Aoyun also took care of the Yan and Zhao lands after Cheng He's death, due to various internal and external reasons, there were always differences between the various schools of the new Confucian school.

Regardless of old learning or new learning, the opponents they face in the world of Confucianism are always more than just each other.

The frequency of attacks by demons from outside the territory varies, sometimes densely and sometimes sparsely.

Although they destroyed the foundation of the old Confucian school and famous families, they gave the new Confucian school an opportunity to be born and develop.

But when they struck again, the new Confucian monks were also threatened.

The demons in the earth realm are no exception. Although they are divided into different groups, as a whole, they are a threat to the entire world of Confucianism.

Previously, the demon clan in the earth realm was suppressed and could not threaten the human world. Therefore, it can be said that the human race in that vast world is dominated by Confucian practitioners.

However, due to the subsequent invasion of demons from outside the territory, as well as various influences from the disputes between the new Confucianism and the old Confucianism in the human spiritual world,

The demon clan in the earth realm then started to rise.

"Senior brother said that there was a Confucian Saint Master in that vast world in ancient times, so there were many famous families and aristocratic families with deep-rooted cultural backgrounds. It is not bad to think about it."

Chu Kun speculated: "According to the current situation, whether it is detachment or other reasons,

It seems that this holy master is no longer here? "

Lei Jun: "I have similar speculations, but it is not appropriate to draw a conclusion yet."

Wang Guiyuan: "The late sage Yanzi is the leader of the new school in the world of Confucianism over there. Who is the leader of the old school over there now?"

Lei Jun: "Mr. Leyuan Wu Hailin was the old head of the Wu family in Guanlong. Now the Wu family has long been handed over to his descendants, and he concentrates on writing books and teaching.

The old Confucian school was originally most prosperous in Qilu and Zhongzhou. Later, because of his existence, the prosperity of the academic style in the west of Guanlong gradually overwhelmed the eastern and central parts of the world.

The rise of the new school of Bashu was ultimately destroyed because of his personal intervention. "

However, the old learning context of Bashu and Bashu collapsed due to the invasion of extraterrestrial demons, and they have not been able to reunite for various reasons.

Neither the aristocratic families that originally established themselves there nor the Wu family and other families from other places could fill the vacancy.

Lei Jun shook his head slightly: "How about that vast world, it is Confucianism that has great luck. Not only the two sages before and after the new school, there are also top great masters in the old school."

The Wu family in Guanzhong itself is one of the most famous families in the world of Confucianism. It has a strong cultural background, and within a certain period of time, it will steadily give birth to talented people with the foundation of a divine pen.

Wu Hailin went a step further on this basis and achieved one of the fundamentals of Wenqu Xingzhao: Zhao Fangcun.

The person's understanding also has the world in his belly.

Such talent not only made Wu Hailin a powerful leader in personal cultivation, but also reflected the inherent cultural heritage of the Wu family in Guanzhong, making the cultural talent more concentrated.

"Guanlong, Sanjin, Zhongzhou, Qilu, Jingchu, Hunan-Jiangxi, Minyue and other places are still dominated by the old Confucianism."

Lei Jun said: "There are differences within the new Confucian school, and there are also noisy voices within the old Confucian school."

The threats from extraterrestrial demons and earthly monsters are still there.

Some famous families advocate fighting against the outside world and settling down the inside first. Although foreign monsters are ferocious and destroy the cultural context, there is still a chance for reconstruction afterwards.

And those newly emerged common people who stole the spirit of cultural heritage in Huaidong, Liangzhe, Yanzhao, Bashu and other places are a greater threat, directly shaking the foundation of the original scholar-official family and clan.

Some famous families advocate the priority of uniting the human race to cultivate the land and jointly fight against the extraterrestrial demons and the group of demons in the earth.

Some of them really consider the overall environment.

But there are also some people who want to make both demons and common people consume each other.

The famous Yishi family has always had a policy of suppressing and appeasing the new Confucian monks whom they call common people.

Some people advocate complete annihilation and no tolerance. The slightest trace will be destroyed with the thunderous force of a lion and a rabbit.

Some people advocated splitting and recruiting, allowing the common people who came later to establish new families and cultural backgrounds, and then pass on and become natives of the Jin Dynasty, but the number of places is naturally limited.

There are many different voices.

In recent years, as the intrusions of demons from outside the territory have been relatively reduced and external threats are no longer so frequent, the dispute between the old Confucian school and the new school has become more and more intense.

"The Zheng family in Zhongzhou is one of the most famous families there." Lei Jun said.

Wang Guiyuan and Chu Kun both understood: "You Emperor, or Mr. Beichen Zheng Baiyu, turns out to be from there, not from our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths universe."

Lei Jun: "His return this time has caused a lot of discussion. After all, he has not seen anyone for thousands of years. After this return, he is no longer a pure Confucian cultivation."

If he were a young and backward child, he would probably be punished severely if he was not kicked out of the house.

But when Zheng Baiyu returned this time, he had already reached the third level of the Immortal Realm.

In this way, he firstly pursued the inheritance of the old Confucian school, and secondly, he had no intention of claiming the title of head of the Zheng family.

In the current context of the world of Confucianism, the old Confucian school naturally ignores all the problems in him and re-accepts him.

"I don't even trust him completely." Lei Jun said, "Mr. Beichen himself may have some intentions."

Returning to Tibet for a battle that day, it seemed that Zheng Baiyu had no intention of leaving here and returning to the world of Confucianism.

It was only because of an accident caused by Xu Yuanzhen's return from the Abyss of Time that almost ruined Zheng Baiyu's good deeds. Zheng Baiyu finally pursued the Abyss of Time in order to ensure that he would get the strange crystals he absorbed from the Abyss of Time.

Even if he had a plan for such a situation, it was probably not the best part of his original plan.

"Then, Mr. Beichen, even if he pursues the Abyss of Time and returns to the world of Confucianism, must ensure that the treasure he acquires is obtained. Where did it come from?" Chu Kun asked softly: "Did he finally succeed?"

Lei Jun shook his head: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty only guessed that it was related to his cultivation, and it might be an opportunity for him to further his cultivation, but the specific situation is unknown. He has made many appearances in the years since he came to the world of Confucianism, and there is currently no more information. Lots of variety.”

Wang Guiyuan said: "He has a lot of secrets."

Lei Jun and Chu Kun both agreed.

"I looked through the documents and classics preserved in Suzhou. When Mr. Beichen got married, he was very talented, but his cultivation was still shallow. If not for this, the Chu people would not have done anything to recruit a new wife." Chu Kun said softly,

In the Great Thousand Worlds of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, during the Han Dynasty, the Confucian inheritance had some similarities with the Great Thousand Worlds of Confucianism.

Most of the Confucian classics are collected by the Qiwang family of the Five Surnames, and are rarely circulated among the people.

If Zheng Baiyu was not born in a Han Dynasty official school, even if he was extremely talented, it would be normal for his Confucian cultivation to be low.

But this brings up a problem.

How did he get here through the Abyss of Time in the first place?

Feng Ting was able to come over thanks to Xu Yuanzhen's care.

On his own, the result of straying into the Abyss of Time would most likely be shattered into pieces and reduced to nothing.

When Zheng Baiyu had not yet completed his cultivation, he should not have been able to travel through the Abyss of Time alone.

Whether there was help from someone or a rare treasure with him, it must have been some special opportunity that made the trip possible.

"It depends on whether he came here by accident or for a clear purpose?" Lei Jun: "If he did, has he succeeded?"

As he spoke, he looked at Shi Zhiyuan:

"Just like this time, why did the Huo family of Yuanzhou and the Yue family of Linli go to that world of demons?"

The dispute between the old and new Confucianism became more and more intense.

Huo Ying, Yue Song and others probably don't have the time to travel to the world of demons.

Lei Jun is more inclined to believe that they have a clear purpose.

"Brother, the news sent back by His Majesty the Emperor of Tang mentioned that although the inheritance of our Taoism is not prosperous, there is also a Taoist tradition. I didn't elaborate last time. Is there any further news recently?"

Lei Jun nodded: "It is called Luofu Mountain, in Guangnan on earth. It is undoubtedly a Taoist inheritance, but it is quite special,

very different from the four Taoist traditions in our world."

According to the simple description sent back by Zhang Wantong before, the Luofu Mountain lineage practiced both internal and external elixirs. While holding the elixir to return to the gods, they also practiced magic, alchemy, and talismans. However, they did not inherit talismans, alchemy tripods, and external elixir at the same time, but were a completely new Taoist tradition.

The nature is similar to what Nie Fang learned, which integrates the characteristics of Mohist mechanisms, Taoist talismans, and Taoist refining, but is unique in its own way. Or Chen Yi's Taoist talismans and the witch blood river are integrated into a furnace to create a unique special practice method.

"Guangnan once had the roots of Confucianism, but it was later destroyed by the invasion of foreign demons. Later, the descendants of Taoism became famous there." Lei Jun said.

After a slight pause, he continued: "Her Majesty the Emperor of Tang once mentioned that the descendants of Luofu Mountain made her feel strange, but she had too little contact with them, so it is not appropriate to jump to conclusions."

Chu Kun: "Sister Tang may be able to see more clues during this trip."

Lei Jun: "Well, after I mentioned this to my junior sister, she was really interested and planned to visit Guangnan in her spare time."

However, Tang Xiaotang later sent back another message from the Confucian World.

A large number of descendants of Dakong Temple crossed the Abyss of Time from the demon world and invaded the Confucian World.

Although the Great Destruction Bodhisattva was not seen, there was a great venerable with a third golden body leading the team.

The already uneasy Confucian World has added a powerful enemy.

On the side of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Lei Jun and others were surprised when they heard the words.

Xu Yuanzhen, who had been interested in that place for a long time, entered the Abyss of Time with great interest and headed for the Confucian World.

Lei Jun was tied to the Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Immortal Formation. He did not move lightly at the first time and stayed in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. While continuing his own practice, he deeply studied the Abyss of Time and his own Tiantongdiche Fazhuan, so as to try to further strengthen the connection between the two sides and strive to have a more stable and convenient communication channel even if they were separated by the many time and space turbulences of the Abyss of Time.

Practicing in the mountains, I don’t know how many years have passed.

One summer, Lei Jun spent his 125th birthday.

In recent years, the younger disciples of the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain have ushered in a new round of blowouts after accumulating a lot of experience.

Qiu Ming, Zhu Wei, Zhong Jinxuan, Xue Yu, and Su He successively passed the natural disasters between the sixth and seventh heavens and successfully reached the seventh heaven of the Taoist Fu School.

This marks that the lineage of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain has added several more high-level masters.

Elder Zuo Li, wearing a deep red Taoist robe, smiled at his closed disciple Su He, took off the red robe,

changed into a purple robe, and became a high-level master.

After Su He completed the ceremony, he saluted the Tianshi Lei Jun, and then respectfully saluted his mentor Zuo Li.

Zuo Li, with white hair and a youthful face, was full of emotion.

Luo Haoran and Fang Jian, who were attending the ceremony on the side, felt the same way.

They had experienced similar things at the beginning. Xu Rui was not Fang Jian's direct disciple, but Fang Jian taught him most of the time after entering the sect.

Then Xu Rui took a step ahead of Fang Jian and reached the upper three days of cultivation earlier, and was promoted to high-level.

Qin Caiwei was actually Luo Haoran's direct disciple, and her cultivation had made great progress, and her progress was even better than Xu Rui.

Looking at Elder Zuo Li, Luo Haoran and Fang Jian felt more emotional.

Although they progressed slower than Qin Caiwei and Xu Rui, they eventually succeeded in reaching the seventh heaven realm and ascended to the upper three heavens, but Zuo Li had no hope.

Fang Jian was a disciple of Li Qingfeng, and although he had some feelings, he was more inspired by himself.

Luo Haoran looked at Zuo Li and thought of his mentor.

His master, like Zuo Li, stopped at the sixth heaven realm and the life span limit of the four sides.

Now, as time goes by, Luo Haoran's mentor is old and gradually reaches the twilight stage.

Fortunately, the current Longhu Mountain ancestral temple is shrouded in the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures Cave Heaven Fairyland, and the clear air flows, nourishing the body and mind of the cultivators, making people rarely see the signs of aging.

Fang Jian saw Luo Haoran looking at Zuo Li, and knew that the other party thought of his mentor.

Their inheritance is also quite representative in the current Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion.

The master is the sixth heaven.

Luo Haoran, the master, is the seventh heaven.

And Luo Haoran's disciple Qin Caiwei has already reached the fourth level of the eighth heaven and is preparing to reach the ninth heaven.

Such a look does not make outsiders laugh, but many people envy and yearn for it.

Not only does it mean that there are successors, but it also reflects that the cultivation environment of Longhu Mountain is becoming more and more favorable, and the upward momentum is becoming more and more obvious.

Fang Jian was sighing when he saw a purple-robed nun returning from outside and came to him and Luo Haoran to salute: "Master, Uncle Fang."

Luo Haoran: "Hua Wei, did you just come back from Canghuan?"

Qin Caiwei: "Master, I went to Canghuan on behalf of the mansion to help the Taoist friends there plant Liufang trees.

It happened that Holy Lord Fengming was leaving seclusion. After congratulating him, he returned to Shante to report to his uncle and the mansion. "

Luo Haoran and Fang Jian understood immediately after hearing this: "Holy Lord Fengming has achieved the second level of immortality!"

Counting the days, it was only more than twenty years since he first arrived in the fairyland.

Even among Phoenix, such speed is breathtaking and rarely recorded in history.

Not only the human monastic community outside Canghuan, but also many spiritual beasts in Canghuan were shocked when they heard the news.

"The mansion should prepare congratulatory gifts." Luo Haoran said: "Hua Wei, please inform the master first."

Qin Caiwei agreed, bowed and left, and then went to meet Lei Jun.

After presiding over the seal-adding ceremony of Qiu Ming, Zhu Wei, Su He and others, Lei Jun did not immediately return to the Sanqing Sanbao Cave in the sky above, but stayed in the Heavenly Master's Mansion on earth.

After hearing Qin Caiwei's report that Phoenix Fengming in Canghuan successfully reached the second level of fairy spirit, Lei Jun nodded repeatedly: "Congratulations."

He told Qin Caiwei and Zhuo Baojie beside him: "After preparing the congratulatory gifts in the mansion, I still thank my nephew Hua Wei for greeting Holy Master Fengming on behalf of Pindao and Tianshi Mansion. We will go with Huajie. You two invite Haoyang on my behalf." Holy Master and Holy Master Fengming, if you have free time, come to Longhu Mountain as a guest or discuss something."

Zhuo Baojie and Qin Caiwei agreed together: "Disciple, I will obey."

Previously, Zhuo Baojie served as the elder on duty at the Deacon Hall. He resigned after the expiration of three years. Currently, he has no specialized duties. He was planning to go out to travel around again. Lei Jun immediately sent his eldest disciple to Canghuan to congratulate Phoenix Wind on his behalf. bright.

Next to her, Han Xiaofei looked at her master eagerly.

Lei Jun didn't give the second apprentice any chance this time: "Although you are not allowed to take over Hua Jie's shift to guard the Deacon Hall, Hua Fei, you will also have some experience in the Deacon Hall. Don't run around during this period."

Han Xiaofei said helplessly: "Yes, Master."

In addition to Qiu Ming, Zhu Wei and others, there are also younger disciples from the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion lineage who are currently at the critical stage between the sixth and seventh heavens.

For example, Xin Lu and Hou Yu are currently in retreat, trying to attack the natural chasm between the Sixth Heaven and the Seventh Heaven.

Lei Jun's own third disciple, Feng Ting, also began to prepare for retreat.

But Lei Jun is not staying in the world for Feng Ting.

He taught his disciples on a daily basis.

The reason why I stayed in the human world for a short time this time is because my master Yuan Mobai will be released from seclusion in the near future.

Lei Jun is currently a master of Taoism and has already sensed the corresponding matters.

The eldest disciple came out of the mountain, and the third disciple went into seclusion.

Later, Lei Jun brought his second disciple Han Xiaofei, who came after hearing the news, to the outside of the cave where Yuan Mobai was meditating.

After a while, junior brother Chu Kun also rushed over.

Wang Guiyuan is currently guarding the Abyss of Infinity and Time and cannot leave for the time being, but he is also paying attention to the Shanmen Ancestral Court.

Lei Jun's perception and judgment were correct, and Yuan Mobai successfully came out of seclusion recently.

After Hao Ling Qi, the purple-robed young man now has Qing Ling Jiu circulating.

At this point, the Five Evils of the Taoist Fu Sect are complete.

Yuan Mobai stepped onto the Bridge of Tongxuan.

Lei Jun and Chu Kun both said: "Congratulations, Master, the Five Chaos Mysteries, the Mahayana is complete, and the Cave Mystery is in sight."

Han Xiaofei followed closely and saluted: "Congratulations, Master!"

"Headmaster." Yuan Mobai returned the greeting with a smile.

Several people followed him into the cave and took their seats. After congratulating each other, Yuan Mobai asked about the environment outside, and Lei Jun answered them one by one.

Finally, Lei Jun mentioned: "The world of scholars is in chaos, but at the moment we still need to pay attention to our own side.

After the merger of the human world, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths seemed to have undergone changes. It was not noticeable at first, but it has become more and more obvious in the past two years. The disciple has invited Holy Master Fengming and others to gather together to discuss this matter. "
