The Holy Temple is located in Qufu, Huanghai Province. This place has been developed into a tourist destination, so Zhang Jun and others pretended to be tourists and entered the temple. The temple gardens are majestic and the royal buildings are nothing more than that. Now it is the peak tourist season.
It's full of people everywhere.
Since Zhang Jun took over the Central Kingdom, the spirit of the entire country has completely changed. The hostility in people's hearts has gradually disappeared, the quality of life has improved, and material conditions have been greatly satisfied. Therefore, the common people no longer pursue material enjoyment. They are more
Pursue spiritual life more often.
Many people pay attention to traditional culture, so the mentality of these people who come to travel is very different from that of previous tourists. They are not doing it to take pictures, or to show off where they have been to people around them, but to
I really want to experience and get close to the country's culture, so as to cultivate myself and improve my spiritual realm.
Walking in the crowd, Zhang Jun and others were not in a hurry, but followed the crowd, looking slowly, slowly. On the way, Zhang Jun encountered an interesting thing. He saw an eight or nine-year-old child.
The boy stood blankly in front of the stone tablet, very lost in thought.
On the stone tablet, the life experience of Saint Kong was recorded, as well as the situation of Confucianism in the world. Seeing how absorbed he was, Zhang Jun couldn't help but be curious. He stopped, stood behind the little boy, and asked with a smile: "Kid, what are you thinking about?
?”
The little boy tilted his head and glanced at Zhang Jun, and said in an adult-like tone: "You can call me 'Xiao Ming'. This is too childish for a child."
Zhang Jun nodded repeatedly: "So Xiao Ming, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Ming said: "I saw the record on the stone tablet, Confucius was really a great man."
Zhang Jun said with a smile: "Of course he is great. His thoughts have influenced our country for thousands of years and even radiated throughout East Asia."
"But why are so many people still criticizing Confucius? They say that his Confucianism has harmed our country, made our country regress and cannot keep up with the times." Xiao Ming looked distressed, "Then Confucius is a good person after all.
Or a bad guy?"
Zhang Jun's expression became serious, but he said nothing, because at this time, he felt that the most qualified people to answer were Master Ji and other three great scholars. Sure enough, the faces of the three great scholars changed slightly when they heard this. Master Ji stepped forward and said, "Haha
’ He smiled and asked Xiao Ming: “Xiao Ming, do you think knowledge is a bad thing?”
"Of course not." Xiao Ming said immediately, "Knowledge can increase wisdom and allow humans to live a good life."
"But some people don't think so." Master Ji said, "After some people learn to read and write, they use the knowledge they have to harm others. Look at those economic criminals and war criminals, who are not knowledgeable people. So at this time,
Someone stood up and said that knowledge is a bad thing and that no one can learn anything."
Xiao Ming was stunned, and then said: "That person is really stupid. How can knowledge be a bad thing? It's because the people who learn knowledge have bad moral character, and it has nothing to do with knowledge."
"That's right!" Master Ji's eyes lit up, "The same is true for Confucianism. Some people have mastered Confucianism and then use it to harm others and do bad things. Do you think this can be blamed on Confucianism?"
"No," Xiao Ming said, "It's because they have bad moral character."
Fan Wenzheng said with a smile: "That's right. No matter what kind of thought, it is used to strengthen your mind. As long as you understand this, you can learn Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, or believe in religion."
, everything will be successful."
Xiao Ming seemed to understand, and scratched his head stupidly. Zhang Jun smiled, patted him on the head, secretly gave him a hint of his inner learning, and said: "You will study hard in the future, and when you grow up, you will
University inquiry."
Xiao Ming straightened his body immediately: "Of course!"
After walking away, Master Ji sighed and said, "A bunch of bastards are criticizing Confucianism and Confucius. They are really not as knowledgeable as a child!"
Zhang Jundao: "Times make heroes. Some Confucian ideas can no longer keep up with the trend of the times. Do you see how much Western religion has changed in the past thousand years? You must also keep pace with the times."
Su Taidou said disapprovingly: "Never change can deviate from its origin, and the core cannot be changed! Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, brotherhood, these are the core, and they are universally applicable morality. Could it be that
Can you abandon it?"
Zhang Jun rolled his eyes and said: "The core of what you are talking about is the raw materials. Flour can be used to make steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and noodle soup, but it can also be pulled out and turned into something smelly."
The words woke up the dreamer, Su Taidou was stunned, and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, when Confucianism is reopened, there will definitely be changes."
The four of them finally entered the temple, which was crowded with people. Zhang Jun said: "I will write an article here. Whether I can disturb the Master depends on my luck."
After saying that, he wrote an article based on Wang Yangming's theory of mind, starting from the Great Dao, and using sacred texts as the carrier. The name of the article was called "Theory of the Mind". At this moment, he wrote with spiritual thoughts, each time
One divine thought can only carry one divine inscription.
As a result, the divine words invisible to the naked eye rose into the void, and then formed an article. As soon as the article came out, there was a brilliant light, and the sound of the Great Law sounded, shaking up and down in all directions. In the vague space, there were three thousand
The phantom appeared, and they stared at Zhang Jun's article with different expressions.
"Confucius' three thousand disciples have manifested themselves!" Su Taidou exclaimed with excitement on his face.
Not long after, seventy-two stalwart shadows descended, staring at the article as well. Above the article, every word was vibrating, every sentence was chanting, the sky was filled with flowers, and the void was electrified.
"The seventy-two sages have also manifested themselves! It looks like there's something going on! As long as you pass these two levels, you will be able to alert the Master!"
Before he finished speaking, a bell rang in the sky, and a tall old man appeared. He was wearing ancient clothes and holding a bamboo stick. He stretched out his hand and the article fell into his hands. Then he smiled at the disciples and said, "I
My heart has fallen."
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together, and the article written by Zhang Jun turned into a cloud, and then the cloud flowed and condensed into a character. As soon as this person appeared, Master Ji fell to the ground excitedly: "Disciple, meet Mr. Yangming!
"
Zhang Jun naturally recognized this person. He was the figure who taught him the theory of psychology in the Mirror of the Mind. At this time, he was also very surprised. Thinking of all the things in the Mirror of the Mind, he couldn't help but said: "So that's it. Mr. Sitting and dying back then
, actually for today’s nirvana and rebirth!”
Wang Yangming turned around and bowed his hands in front of him: "Thank you." As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of holy flames rose up around him, and his whole body turned from virtual to real. In an instant, he had a physical body and a quasi-Great Luo realm.
"Master" laughed and said: "After today, you will be the 'Heart Sage' of the Confucian sect. The cow's nose and the bald donkey have the method of three lives, and our Confucian sect also has the way of nirvana."
"Boom!"
The wilderness was shaken, and the world of Confucianism and Taoism was reopened, standing side by side with Buddha and Taoism. Maitreya and Lingbao were immediately alarmed. They each smiled and said to themselves: "Did that sour scholar finally show up?"
There was a flash of inspiration in the holy temple, and Zhang Jun and the three great Confucians were all drawn into the world of Confucianism and Taoism. Zhang Jun's ears were filled with the sound of reading loudly, and his eyes were filled with the classic texts of hundreds of schools of thought.
After a while, the two golden bridges fell, Maitreya and Lingbao came side by side, cupped their hands and said with a smile: "Brother Yangming, what a joy to congratulate!"
The Heart Saint Wang Yangming slightly returned the gift and said: "Thanks to Zhang Jun's help, I can return to the world again."
Maitreya suddenly suggested: "We owe so much to Zhang Jun for our three religions, so we should return this favor to him."
Lingbao: "That's right. Zhang Jun has the qualifications to be a human emperor. How about if our three religions each issue a decree and make him the human emperor?"
Wang Yangming smiled and said: "It's just what I want!"
Having said that, the three quasi-religious leaders each recited a mantra silently. After a while, everyone in the three religions knew that Zhang Jun was the human emperor of the three religions. The three religions had lasted for thousands of years and had a long destiny. This move immediately affected Zhang Jun.
It has an extremely far-reaching influence on his destiny. It is equivalent to the fact that the luck of the three religions is added to his body, making his luck even more prosperous.
Zhang Jun vaguely felt that major changes had taken place in his body, but he didn't pay much attention to it. At that time, he talked about the Supreme Evil Demon and asked, "Do you three have any good ideas?"
Maitreya said: "God's will is such that we can only take one step at a time."
Lingbao said: "Evil demons will come out sooner or later, but the person who took away the baby is worthy of scrutiny."
Xin Sheng said: "The person who takes action should be a quasi-religious leader, we need to be careful."
Seeing that none of the three would-be leaders had any serious ideas, he knew that this matter was difficult. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I need to ask the three of you for help with something."
The Holy Spirit of the Heart says, "We will do whatever we can to the best of our ability and we will not refuse."
Zhang Jun immediately talked about the broken plane and said: "Entering a plane, even a broken plane, must be very dangerous. I hope the three of you can help me."
After hearing these words, the three would-be leaders were not surprised at all. Lingbao said: "You can actually discover a broken plane. It is really a blessing. But now is not the time to enter. If you really want to go in, at least
You also need to have the cultivation level of Daluo Realm, otherwise you will only be seeking death if you go in."
Zhang Jun felt a chill in his heart, but he still didn't give up and asked: "Is the broken plane so scary?"
Maitreya said: "Back then, the Buddha entered the Broken Plane with the dignity of Daluo, but he came back disgraced. You can think about it yourself."
Xin Sheng said: "Master also entered the Broken Plane and gained a little, but he only went there once."
The muscles on Zhang Jun's face twitched, and he immediately gave up all thoughts of entering the Broken Plane and said, "It seems that we should put more energy into the human world and make preparations to rescue Shen Tianjun first."
"Do you really want to save Shen Tianjun?" Taoist Lingbao looked at him with a strange expression, "Once Shen Tianjun is born, he will become a Daluo, and he will cultivate the imperial way. By then, how will you, the human emperor, deal with yourself?
"
Zhang Jun smiled lightly and said calmly and honestly: "If he wants to be the Human Emperor, I will give in."
The three sect leaders looked at each other and sighed: "None of our three sects are as good as Shen Tianjun!"
Zhang Jun smiled softly: "I want to be the Human Emperor to establish a destiny for the human race, not for my own selfishness. If Shen Tianjun can do it, what's the difference? And he and I are the same kind of people, destined to be together side by side.
