In his two lifetimes, this was the first time that he saw the power of "The Analects" being able to be interpreted into the "Way of Confucius".
It is conceivable that after these crayfish have been poisoned by the old lobster for so long, their three views are probably ruined, and there is no need for teaching and other things. It is better to go back to the furnace and rebuild it as soon as possible...
Naturally, he couldn't say such words, otherwise he would be the one to be remade.
"Not bad……"
Su Wen nodded slightly.
In an instant, he figured out the main reason why Old Lobster was able to misunderstand the Analects of Confucius.
It must have something to do with the living environment of the lobster people.
The world of the lobster people should be a world of the weak and the strong. The strong have everything by virtue of their strength, while the weak have nothing, including their own lives, which are the strong's private property.
For an old lobster who has grown up in this world, his three views have long been fixed.
Therefore, when it met the sage, although it received short-term teachings from the sage, it ultimately followed its own understanding and taught it to the crayfish.
So it is perfectly normal to interpret the words and deeds of saints from the perspective of force and strength.
"The old gentleman teaches well, these crayfish...well, the children learned well."
Su Wenchen finally made a decision that went against his conscience and was full of praise for the old lobster.
"I am over-flattered……"
Hearing Su Wen's praise, Old Lobster smiled darkly from ear to ear. Appreciation from a Confucian scholar of the human race is more weighty than the recognition of the wise men of the entire ethnic group.
"It's all thanks to the master's proper teachings that the old man has achieved something. Fortunately, these little boys are also up to the challenge, working hard and putting in real effort."
Afterwards, the old lobster said a lot of polite words before stepping aside and letting Su Wen teach the crayfish and answer their questions.
This stumped Su Wen.
"The Analects of Confucius" has been distorted into "The Analects of Confucius" by the old lobster. Naturally, he can no longer teach this course to the crayfish, otherwise the explanation will be biased, and he will not be able to live with it.
"How about the "Three Character Classic" or "Enlightenment of Rhythm"?
Since it was crayfish, the target knowledge should also be human Mengtong. Su Wen quickly came up with an idea.
However, there are too many allusions in the "Three Character Classic". Even if he used it to teach the Meng children of time, he would still have to spend time explaining to them historical allusions that would be difficult for extraordinary people to remember, let alone crayfish.
"Contents like "Rhythm Enlightenment" and "Li Weng's Rhyme" are more convenient..."
Su Wen made up his mind.
"Let's start teaching from "Rhythm Enlightenment"..."
He motioned to the Green Shell Lobsterman who was standing by to bring a large stone slab, carved a line of words on it, and began to say: "First, I will teach you how to compose the rhymes of poetry..."
"The clouds are against the rain, the snow is against the wind, the evening light is against the clear sky..."
Listening to Su Wen's teaching, Old Lobster couldn't help but nod his head. He quietly squatted in the corner, took out the slate, carved out the words written by Su Wen, and quietly read along. As an old Lobster who pursues knowledge,
, it will not give up any opportunity to learn more new knowledge.
A trace of literary spirit lingered around Su Wen.
Su Wen was also surprised when he noticed this.
He did not expect that in the nest of the lobster people, there could be culture.
But if you think about it carefully, this makes sense.
There is no "Rhythm Enlightenment" in the outside world. In other words, by embodying this enlightenment book, he can obtain the blessing of literary energy.
"It's like killing two birds with one stone."
Su Wen was very satisfied with this.
"He is a great sage..."
The old lobster hiding in the corner lamented repeatedly. It has lived for most of its life, but it has made mistakes. Although Su Wen's extraordinary aura is mixed, his knowledge foundation is solid. The little ones can't see the literary spirit floating around Su Wen.
But it sees it clearly and understands its meaning.
This means that these contents are the knowledge that Su Wen just thought of and improvised, adapting to local conditions and tailor-made for the crayfish.
"Huh?"
Su Wen suddenly discovered that the Confucian cultural context was trembling, and there seemed to be some promotion.
"The accumulation of literary spirit...is enough, but the environment of the promotion ceremony...isn't it suitable here?"
From a scholar to a sage, in addition to sufficient accumulated literary talent, a promotion ceremony that conforms to Confucian rules is also required.
The promotion ceremony is easy and difficult.
Confucianism is the study of entering into the world and governing the world.
The second Confucian sequence is the virtuous man.
What is a wise man?
Those who know and perform well as an official, behave as a township, are as virtuous as a monarch, and are able to govern a country are all the criteria for a virtuous person. Anyone who can meet any of these criteria can be promoted to a virtuous person.
After thinking about it carefully, Su Wen felt that the opportunity for his promotion was the approval of the crayfish.
These crayfish think he is knowledgeable, teaches well, and is a wise man...
Therefore, his promotion ceremony was triggered.
"Is this an opportunity?"
Su Wen was a little dumbfounded.
He has been thinking hard about how to advance to the Confucian path in the Guixu world, but he has never had the chance.
What he didn't expect was that in the lobster man's lair, he would have such an opportunity. He never expected that the drama of his life would change like this.
"Will this old lobster... give me a chance to be promoted?"
Su Wen hesitated a little.
"He won't stop..."
After Su Wen thought about it, he gave up his doubts.
Old Lobster has overwhelming strength against him. Not to mention that he is only promoted to a Sage of Sequence Two, even if he reaches the level of Sub-Saint, Old Lobster can easily suppress him.
His promotion will only gain favor from Old Lobster, who will confirm that he is not a bastard among Confucian scholars.
After teaching the "East" rhyme in "Rhythm Enlightenment", Su Wen nodded in the direction of the old lobster, sat down cross-legged, began to adjust his breathing, and reached into his arms. In fact, he found out from the space of the earthly branches.
Qian Haoran gave him the secret medicine and drank it.
"Well……"
Old Lobster saw Su Wen's gaze and saw Su Wen drinking the secret medicine, so he walked aside and personally protected Su Wen.
At the same time, he said: "Little boys, take a good look at how your husband gains power from knowledge! This is the way for humans to improve their strength. Learn it well. If you learn it, the only way for you to become stronger in the future is to fight.
Fight, kill, kill!”
The crayfish immediately wanted to gather around and watch, but they were stopped by the old lobster's look: "Stay where you are, I have disturbed Mr. Su. I will use it to cook with it tonight to calm Mr. Su's shock!"
As soon as this was said, the crayfish immediately did not dare to move.
They know very well that the old guy can do this kind of thing.
After all, there can be infinite numbers of crayfish, but the number of teachers who can teach them is very small.
"Xiucai...are you ready?"
A voice sounded in Su Wen's mind.
Su Wen felt that this voice was somewhat familiar... wasn't it Cheng Zi's voice?!
But at this time, Su Wen was not focused on anything else, and did not delve into who the owner of the voice belonged to. He nodded heavily in his heart.
"very good……"
"What are the three immortals?"
"Establish virtue, establish merit, and establish words."
"Who did this statement come from?"
""Zuo Zhuan: The Twenty-Fourth Year of Duke Xiang" says: 'What does it mean to be immortal even after death?' It says: 'The supreme leader has established virtues, the second has meritorious service, and the third has established words that will not be abolished even after a long time. This is called immortality'.
"
Su Wen's answer was simple and concise, without any further elaboration.
He knew very well that the questions and answers required by Confucianism asked by the mysterious voice should not involve too many historical allusions, otherwise they would be interfered by the mysterious power of historians, which might lead to the impure power obtained through promotion.
"Why are the three immortal?"
"The so-called establishment of virtue means to create laws and provide benefits to the people; to establish meritorious service means to save people from disasters and to help the time; to establish words means to get the key points of the words and to be able to pass them on. Therefore, they will be immortal."
"good."
The mysterious voice was very satisfied with Su Wen's answer. After a moment of admiration, it was silent for a moment, and then continued: "You will become a sage in the second sequence of the Confucian path, and also a virtuous person. All things can grow together without harming each other, and the Tao can go hand in hand without harming each other."
Contradictory. The small virtues flow, and the great virtues are unified. This is why the heaven and the earth are great."
Su Wen nodded repeatedly. The mysterious voice not only explained that the second name in the Confucian extraordinary sequence was a sage, but also pointed out that the original name was "Mingde". The following explanation came from the chapter "The Doctrine of the Mean". Su Wen was not only familiar with it, but also pointed out that the original name was "Mingde".
And you can still memorize it backwards and forwards.
"You will gain the following abilities."
"Haoran Qi: The literary Qi cultivated so far is all the breath of Haoran. Haoran protects the body, prevents all evils from invading, and does not disturb the spirit with strange powers. There are many wonderful uses of Haoran Qi, you can figure it out yourself."
"The Master is silent: he can cut off the influence of all the power of words and tongues."
"The third serial number: Buhuo (Gentleman), the formula of the secret medicine is as follows, and the promotion ceremony is as follows..."
"Additional gift: The formula (remnant recipe) of the seven secret medicines of the Domineering Sequence is as follows..."
"..."
When Su Wen heard that Haoran Qi was "silent", he felt that he had gained a lot. After all, he already had a lot of secret techniques and taboo items to protect his body, so this ability was a bit useless. If Haoran Qi hadn't added a short explanation at the end, Su Wen would have gained a lot.
Wendu didn't have much interest in paying attention to this new ability.
"Zi Buyu" and "Zi Yue" seem to overlap, but when they were broken down, Su Wen realized that the difference between the two is actually quite big.
Both are the ability to follow one's words. But "Confucius said" is more applicable to behaviors that do not force others, such as appearing wherever you go and praying for some goals to achieve your wishes.
But using "Confucius said" to hinder other people's behavior has a backlash effect, and the stronger the opponent, the worse the effect and the stronger the backlash.
But "Zi Buyu" is an ability specifically used to destroy other people's behavior. When used, the backlash is slight. Even if it encounters a strong opponent, the effect is reduced, but the damage to oneself is still within an acceptable range. It has awe-inspiring aura.
Protection can even completely offset the damage.
"It's still quite useful...but what's the meaning of the extra seven residual prescriptions of the 'Domineering' pathway?"
Su Wen searched for the existence of this information, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the profound meaning of the gift of the mysterious voice.
And he doesn't believe in the theory of additional benefits, but he knows very well that gifts from fate are often already marked with a price, and they demand the price when they are unexpected.
