Song Zhishu was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "If Mr. Cheng wants me to break away from Southern Confucianism, there is no need to say anything."
From the conversation just now, he already knew the current situation of Southern Confucianism, and the other party came from the Zongsheng lineage, which is also the strongest school of Confucianism at present, so he guessed that Cheng Hong might be here on behalf of the Zongsheng school.
Because of reciting the Way of the University and the Battle of Yucheng, I was afraid that I would be noticed by scholars all over the world.
Coupled with his talent in Confucianism, it is reasonable for someone to persuade him to join another school of thought.
After all, the more prosperous a school is, the stronger its cultural context is and the higher its achievements will be.
Especially after the saint has passed away, the benefits will be more obvious.
Song Zhishu understood this, but did not intend to do so. Regardless of Gu Yun's kindness in guiding the way, in order to protect himself in the Taihao Sword Sect Law Enforcement Hall, the other party did not hesitate to unite with all the southern Confucianists to fight against Mu Changge.
It is also a great kindness.
So no matter what the circumstances, it was impossible for him to leave Southern Confucianism, so he said that.
"this"
Cheng Hong was speechless for a moment, but he did have some meaning in his heart.
After all, where is Song Zhishu’s Confucian talent, which school of thought would not be interested?
As long as he can be brought into his family, it is equivalent to having one more saint seedling, and the school will surely become stronger in the future.
At this moment, after hearing those words, Cheng Hong couldn't help but secretly thought that it was a pity, but he soon stopped thinking about it and just said: "Mr. Song is valued by the Southern Confucianists, so naturally I will not have many ancestors."
I am thinking, I am here today, and I am also a person, and I do not represent the lineage of the sect. I want to remind Mr. Song of the things he needs to pay attention to if he wants to participate in the Longyuan Conference."
After a pause, a smile appeared in his eyes: "This Longyuan Conference is hosted by the Southern Confucian School against all opinions. The purpose is also to win the first place in this conference and save the decline of the school."
Hearing this, Song Zhishu nodded, as both Gu Yun and Mr. Wenyuan had meant this before.
Southern Confucianism has declined. If it wants to rise again, it must rely on the Longyuan Conference.
Otherwise, the situation will become more difficult in the future.
For this reason, Daru Gu Yun even spoke directly at the beginning, telling him that he must participate.
"It's just that there are a few problems now." Cheng Hong continued: "First of all, after Zongsheng became a saint, our Confucianism is no longer suppressed. Many young talents have emerged from various university sects, and they have also proposed various ideas.
Different doctrines are famous all over the world, which is not a good thing for Southern Confucianism."
As mentioned before, he does not represent the sage lineage now, but an individual, so he chose to tell some latest news.
After all, Song Zhishu lectured at Qingzhou Academy and enlightened many students, adding to his achievements.
Cheng Hong felt that there were some things that the other party must understand.
But now Song Zhishu has few scholars around him, and the Longyuan Conference is about to be held. As a Confucian scholar, he has this obligation.
"I have heard these things from the great scholar Gu Yun." Song Zhishu nodded. In fact, he was also quite interested in this aspect. He had always known more about immortality than Confucianism. It might have been nothing before, but it is different now.
Since you are going to attend the Longyuan Conference, you should know about the current Confucian school and the great talents that have emerged from various university schools, right?
Cheng Hong continued: "This Longyuan Conference is different from the past. The schools of thought must come up with new doctrines that are different from the past. More importantly, the older generation of Confucian figures are not allowed to participate this time, but young people.
’s home ground.”
"Mr. Song should also know that in a few years, the world will be in chaos. We, the Confucians, can no longer follow the steps and need to find a new path."
"In other words, before this period of time, no matter which school of thought, as long as there was a saint, it would be fine."
In the time of chaos caused by monsters, not only the major sects must prepare, but Confucianism must also speed up its actions.
There are a few great talents now, or perhaps the great Confucians are no longer good.
There must be a saint.
Otherwise, it will be too late in the future when great chaos is imminent and all lives are devastated.
That's why young students are sent to participate in this conference instead of leaving the older generation behind.
The most important thing is to have new theories, discover the true talents of saints, and give hope to the world.
With saints, we will have ways to deal with chaos when it comes in the future.
A Confucian saint had great influence.
Song Zhishu could hear this meaning from the other party's words, which did not mean that the older generation of great scholars had no chance to step into the level of saints.
But the most important thing now is to introduce new ideas and accept new ideas and theories.
If you blindly stand on your own laurels, you will only be waiting for decline and destruction.
Therefore, after a pause, he continued: "Then please tell me, Mr. Cheng, which schools of thought now have a chance to win the first place in this Longyuan Conference?"
Since you are going, you must understand this point. Understand it thoroughly. This does not mean that Song Zhishu wants to come out on top.
I want to see the current development direction of Confucianism from other schools of thought.
This can also confirm your own path.
"The Northern sect, the sect, and the Wang sect, these three are the popular schools in this Longyuan Conference and attract the attention of the world." Cheng Hong opened his mouth and said again: "Especially the Wang sect, with the support of the Great Zhou Dynasty,
Another great talent has emerged, and there is a faint tendency to suppress the other two factions."
"Originally, the one who came first in the previous conference was undoubtedly the Southern School, because the way of university proposed by you, Mr. Song, is a completely new theory in the world. Not only the Southern School, but also all the university schools have made it a canon.
It’s just that the way of the university precedes the Longyuan Conference, and the main purpose of this conference is to introduce the old and bring forth the new, so the way of the university cannot be presented at this conference.”
Having said this, he sighed slightly, a little regretful.
Not to mention the sect that one belongs to, the other six major sects also fully understand the importance of the Way of the University.
It can be said that if it is presented at the conference, there will be almost no suspense about coming out on top.
But it is precisely for this reason that various university factions chose to unite to boycott.
The first place has been determined before the conference, so what’s the point? Other schools may not have a chance to appear at all.
Although the Southern Confucians did not agree with these, they had to agree in the end. This was also the condition for them to host the conference.
And Song Zhishu finally understood why the last time he met Master Gu Yun, the other person was worried in his words. It turned out that it was not only because more new theories were springing up like mushrooms after a rain, but also because the way of university was restricted.
As for the so-called Wang Sect, he also knew that its full name was the Wang Dao School.
It was not that the person who founded that school of thought was named Wang, but that the school advocated unification of the world, governing the world with Confucianism, and respecting the dynasty. This is the origin of the name of the Wang sect, and it is also the reason why the Zhou Dynasty strongly supported it.
At the beginning, the saint who founded the Wang Sect was the figure who helped Zhou establish the common master of the world.
Therefore, this school will produce an imperial master in every generation.
However, as the Great Zhou Dynasty's ability to control various territories continued to weaken, coupled with the rise of sects in the world, the royal sect gradually began to decline. Until this generation of great Zhou sages fully supported the royal sect, and when the sects were enthroned, Confucianism
No longer being protected, the royal faction gradually caught up, showing signs of competing with the Zongsheng lineage.
Of course, both the Zongsheng lineage and the Wangdao lineage have steadily suppressed the Southern lineage.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for informing me of this."
After Song Zhishu had a preliminary understanding of various aspects of Confucianism, he immediately gave up his hand slightly.
Cheng Hong belongs to a sect, which means he is not from the same sect as him, but he can tell everything in this regard, so he should be grateful.
"Mr. Song is polite, that's what I should do." Cheng Hong smiled and didn't care: "Although you and I belong to different Confucian schools, in the end we are both scholars, and I also hope that Mr. Song will have the opportunity to follow the path of a saint.
"
"In today's world, there is really a great need for a saint. The world is in chaos with demons and demons, and all living beings are in ruins. I think this is what every scholar wants to see."
Different schools are equivalent to different sects in Immortal Dao. However, although there are different sects, the purpose is the same. Just like the Longyuan Conference, all the major sects seem to be very noisy.
There will even be fights.
But after that, it will be whatever it is, and I won't take it completely to heart.
Confucianism is one sect, and to put it bluntly, we are all one family.
It's okay to argue on your own, but if someone does something sinister, it will not be tolerated.
With his thoughts at this point, Cheng Hong was silent for a moment, then looked at Song Zhishu and continued: "I am the dean of Qingzhou Academy. I have many things to do, so I can't go to the Longyuan Conference, but Jingyun will go there when the time comes. He is now
The key to becoming an intellectual is to go to the Longyuan Conference and learn a lot. Mr. Song can go with you. If you have any other questions, you can ask."
"However, there is still some time before the Longyuan Conference is held. Mr. Song does not need to rush to go. Jingyun will remind you then."
"Okay." Song Zhishu nodded. On the way to the Longyuan Conference, he really needed someone to accompany him.
And I do still have many doubts about Confucianism. With Chen Jingyun by my side, it will be more convenient.
"Then I won't disturb Mr. Song anymore."
When Cheng Hong saw that he had finished what he needed to say, he no longer chose to stay. He stood up and said goodbye.
Chen Jingyun also nodded and smiled. He went to the Longyuan Conference, naturally not to participate in it, but to find a way to enter the state of knowledge and action.
And being able to travel with Song Zhishu will also bring many benefits to him, and he may also have his own fortune.
As for Song Zhishu, he didn't say much. After sending the two of them out of the room, he tidied up and went out.
After being in seclusion for many days, I have to go out for a walk and see the changes in the outside world.
The streets of Qingzhou City are still the same as before, but they are more lively. The number of casual cultivators has increased a lot. These Song Zhishu can roughly guess that it may be due to their own reasons.
According to what the headmaster of Shushan said, he now has a very high reputation among casual cultivators all over the world, especially among the younger generation of casual cultivators.
It is precisely for this reason that I must join the casual cultivator alliance to attract more people.
This made Song Zhishu a little helpless, so he deliberately found a cloak to cover his figure to prevent others from recognizing him. He also didn't want someone to say hello every time he went out. Although it was okay, it was too much trouble.
I came out this time just to understand some situations.
"Have you heard that the three major sword sects and other major sects jointly announced a news to establish an alliance of casual cultivators?"
"I know, it is said that Sword Madman, an old senior in our casual cultivator world, is the first leader of the casual cultivator alliance."
"Also, Mr. Song has also joined in. What do you think? Should we take action?"
"Of course we do. By joining the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, our strength will be concentrated, and we won't be afraid of those sect disciples in the future."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go to Wanshi Pavilion to sign up."
On the streets and alleys, individual cultivators were discussing recent events.
Just as Song Zhishu expected.
During his period of seclusion, the news about the establishment of the Loose Cultivator Alliance was also thoroughly spread.
As the leader of the alliance, Sword Madman also called on all the major sects headed by the three major sword sects to join them to prevent future demon incidents. He also announced that Song Zhishu had joined and would be one of the candidates for the future alliance leader and become Daozi.
.
If you want to join the casual cultivator alliance, you only need to go to the Wanshi Pavilion where you are located to sign up, and then receive the identity token.
As a force that spreads throughout the human cultivation world, Wanshi Pavilion is perfect for doing this kind of thing.
Therefore, Song Zhishu also saw that a large number of casual cultivators had gathered in the Wanshi Pavilion where Qingzhou was located.
Obviously, the major sects still have some influence.
However, there is also the reason for this being a strong man like Jian Kuai. After all, this person is an old-timer and has a very high prestige among casual cultivators.
Some casual cultivators have already had the idea of joining forces, and now that they have the opportunity, they will naturally not let it go.
What's more, Madman Jian and Zhishu Song represent the older and younger generations of casual cultivators.
With two people taking the lead, more casual cultivators are naturally willing to join.
This is what many casual practitioners have in mind.
Of course, there is another point, that is, after the casual cultivator alliance is established, the major sects will also provide corresponding resources to support it.
And this is also one of the reasons that attracts casual practitioners to join. With resources, it will be easier to practice in the future.
In addition to the Loose Cultivator Alliance, there is also news about the Beizhou Demon. All the major sects claim that the Beizhou Demon has been temporarily resolved and there is no need to worry. However, it also means that the demon will come back soon.
However, this news is somewhat different from what Song Zhishu heard from the headmaster of Shushan, but it is understandable that in order to prevent people from being disturbed, the higher-ups naturally have more things to consider.
After getting the information you want to know.
Song Zhishu did not stay long and returned to the inn. While continuing to practice, he waited for the start of the Longyuan Conference.
But now that the Confucian Sage Immortal Tower has been opened, the Hunyuan Pill is not enough to support him to break through to the next level, so he plans to take time to practice the Great Dream Immortal Killing Technique and the Demon-Conquering Divine Sword Technique.
This may be his method of fighting enemies in the future, so he will naturally not let it go.
Time passes bit by bit.
It has to be said that the practice of these two supreme sword techniques is indeed difficult, so much so that even Song Zhishu could not fully master the essentials.
Even though I have already started practicing the Da Meng Immortal Slaying Technique that I have already practiced before, it seems that I am still far from being able to condense the sword species.
And just when Song Zhishu was in retreat, Xu Changyu, a true disciple of Shushan, appeared again.
