An ox cart drove out of Burial Mountain and headed toward Dongshan, thousands of miles away.
Although I didn't deliberately rush, my speed was not slow, and I almost traveled more than a thousand miles a day. I stopped and stopped along the way, visiting this mountain top and walking around that city. A month later, I finally arrived in Qi State.
.
The state of Qi was one of the three hegemons and five heroes in the Zhou Dynasty.
And he is the first among the five heroes.
But now among the three hegemons, only the two hegemons of Qin and Jin remain.
The state of Qi is divided into Yan State in the north, Jin State in the west, Wei State and Lu State in the south, and Lai State in the east. Like Ji State, Ju State, Zhou State, Nie State, Lu State, Tan State, Yang State, Mou State,
The surrounding small countries such as Guo and Fei were either annexed by Qi, destroyed by Jin, or converted by Lu.
As for why there is an almost average Lai Kingdom to the east of the two powerful states of Qi and Lu?
This is entirely because Qilu is difficult to destroy.
Although the country of Lai is not strong, its territory is not large, and its population is not large, there is an extraordinary city located in the easternmost part of the country.
This city is called Qin City.
Qin City, Chess City, Book City and Painting City are known as the Four Holy Cities.
Therefore, because of the existence of Qincheng, neither Qi nor Lu are very sure of destroying Lai. Even if they can destroy Lai, it will still be very difficult and may be taken advantage of by powerful countries such as Jin and Yan.
enter.
This is not worth the loss.
…
"I'm coming."
It is ten miles away from the northernmost city of Qi State.
A group of young scholars with extraordinary appearance had been waiting in front of the post pavilion early. When they saw a simple ox cart appearing at the end of the post road, they couldn't help shouting and cheering.
Everyone looked excited.
At this time, they did not swarm forward, but arranged their clothes excitedly and anxiously.
"This is the bullock cart used for canonization? Did you read that correctly?"
Some scholars asked, for fear of making a mistake.
"It's not wrong, this is indeed the ox cart used for canonization." A scholar said firmly, squinting his eyes and observing carefully, "It is said that the green ox pulling the cart has lost its horn..."
"That green bull has indeed broken off its horn."
"Can't be wrong."
"Based on the time, it's about this time..."
After a while.
The bullock cart is getting closer and closer.
The literati who had been waiting in front of the post office not only clearly saw the green ox with its broken horn, but also saw a wisp of destiny falling from above the simple ox cart.
This is absolutely true.
Because everyone knows that the destiny of being a saint is endless...
"Students from Ancheng, pay your respects to the canonization."
"Students from Ancheng, pay your respects to the canonization."
When the ox cart arrived a few feet in front of the post pavilion, all the scholars bowed respectfully and bowed.
At this time, Qingniu stopped, looked at the scholars in Ancheng, and said: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the post office outside Ancheng."
Feng Qingyan stepped out of the bullock cart, followed closely by Jiu Ge.
"Everyone, Qingyan is polite."
Feng Qingyan returned the gift.
After hearing this, all the literati straightened up excitedly and looked into Feng Qingyan's eyes. They all looked excited and hesitant to speak.
Canonization.
A model for the world.
At this time, several high-spirited young scholars came out and invited Feng Qingyan to give lectures in Ancheng. Some other scholars bluntly said that they would follow them and go to Mount Tai together, etc.
But at this time, the etiquette officials from Qi State also arrived...
However, Feng Qingyan did not enter Ancheng in the end, nor did he go to Zicheng, the capital of Qi State, but headed towards Dongshan.
This disappointed the young scholars in Anseong.
Seeing this, the ceremonial officials of the State of Qi invited the saint to go down to Dongshan and then go to Zicheng...
When Feng Qingyan went to Dongshan, many young literati followed him, and even many literati from Qi State hurried towards Dongshan after hearing this.
When the news reached the State of Lu, it caused a sensation in many academies.
Countless Confucian scholars came upon hearing the news.
"Has the saint come to Dongshan?"
"Is the purpose of becoming a saint and ascending Dongshan Mountain to enlighten the Tao? Or is it to understand the fragments left by the saints to trace their origins?"
"In my opinion, canonization must be the fragments left behind for all saints to trace their origins."
"It is rumored that the fragments left behind by the saints in tracing their origins hide the truth of the world. If one can understand or take a peek, it is even possible to become a saint..."
"It is said that the fragments left behind by the saints tracing their origins reveal the truth about the saints' retreat..."
In the major academies of the State of Lu, many students were discussing excitedly, wondering why the saint went to Dongshan. Is it just like the rumors, the fragments left behind to trace the origins of the saints? Maybe the saint really has a thorough understanding?
So it must be a big event, how can you miss it?
At this time, even the students in the Twenty-Seven Books Mountain became somewhat interested after hearing this. After thinking about it, they left the Confucian Holy Land and went all the way to Mount Tai together.
"Senior Brother, it is said that the saint went to Dongshan to realize Taoism. Are we going to go?"
In Shangnen Academy, many students asked Yuntian, "Eldest Brother, do you think that canonization is the fragment left behind to trace the origins of saints?"
"That's natural. Otherwise, why would you have to climb Dongshan Mountain to become a saint?"
Some students take it for granted.
"On the East Mountain, there are not only the fragments left by the saints tracing their origins, but also the footprints left by Queen Xia's ascension to heaven, the remaining dreams of Emperor Shang's enlightenment, as well as the secret realms and holy fates of ancient emperors..."
In the state of Lu.
There are many Confucian academies, such as the Eighty-one Academy, or academies run by great sages or great Confucians, and there are countless young and curious students.
So when they heard that the saint was going to Dongshan, they all couldn't help it.
One by two, they ran towards Dongshan.
and.
The saint ascended Dongshan Mountain, trying to understand the rumors of the fragments left by the saints to trace their origins. The more rumors spread, the crazier they became, and the more outrageous they became.
Gradually, even many doctors in the Twenty-Seven Books Mountain became interested.
After all, everyone knows that the fragments left by the saints to trace their origins may hide a huge secret, or may hide a huge holy fate...
but.
Until now, no one has understood it thoroughly.
However, although no one has understood it for more than a thousand years, many people have captured it. And all the scholars who capture the fragments left by the saints to trace their origins have gained great opportunities, and all of them have been promoted to great scholars...
…
So Dongshan.
The footprints left by Confucian scholars have always been indispensable.
And canonization is the person who is closest to a saint after all the saints. Maybe he can really understand it.
When countless scholars from Lu State rushed to Dongshan, Feng Qingyan's ox cart also arrived at the foot of Dongshan.
Dongshan is located between Qilu and Qilu.
To the north of Dongshan is the State of Qi, and to the south of Dongshan is the State of Lu.
Dongshan is not only the length of the mountains in the world, but also the most sacred mountain. It has always been regarded by the ancients and even today as a holy place "directly connected to the throne of the emperor". It is also worshiped by the people and the first sacred mountain where kings offer sacrifices. It is known as "Dongshan".
"Safe, safe all over the world".
Rumor has it that since ancient times, more than ten generations of emperors have personally visited Dongshan to worship or offer sacrifices, and dozens of generations of emperors have sent officials to offer sacrifices hundreds of times.
There are dozens of ancient buildings left on the mountain.
There are more than thousands of steles and stone carvings.
