The Lord of Mingyue City was a little speechless. He had just finished praising you, and then he asked me to leave? Isn’t that right? Just guard against villains, but you also guard against gentlemen?
But he could feel that Zhou Wenyuan must have something big going on. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry. He would have guessed something on the way here. Now that he saw Guyun Daru acting like this, the Lord of Mingyue City vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Guyun Daru had a slight smile on his face, and Mingyue City Lord had nothing to say. He bowed and left. After Mingyue City Lord left, Guyun Daru stood up directly, almost jumping up, and rushed towards the study.
Arriving at the study room, Guyun Daru was extremely excited. He just glanced at it and found that it was different. It was extremely different.
Unfolding the rice paper, Master Gu Yun quietly read this article.
"The way to a great university is to be clear and virtuous, to be close to the people, to stop at the highest good, to know and stop, and then to have concentration. After concentration, you can become still, and after being still, you can be at ease, at ease, you can then think about it, and after thinking about it, you can gain."
"Things have their origins and ends, and things have their beginnings and endings. If you know the order of things, you will get the shortcut."
"In ancient times, if you want to bring enlightened virtue to the world, you must first govern your country; if you want to govern your country, you must first regulate your family; if you want to regulate your family, you must first cultivate your body."
"If you want to cultivate your body, you must first rectify your mind; if you want to rectify your mind, you must first be sincere in your intention; if you want to be sincere in your intention, you must first develop knowledge; to achieve knowledge is to study things."
The great scholar Gu Yun read this scripture carefully. The more he looked at it, the faster his breathing became, and the more he looked at it, the more his body trembled.
"Study things, develop knowledge, be sincere, have a correct mind, cultivate one's character, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."
"This, this. This is the scripture for establishing the mind of scholars all over the world."
"This scripture is incredible, incredible. It summarizes what scholars need to do, and tells how scholars should do it, how to do it, good, good, good, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!
"
"I, Gu Yun, have been studying for seventy years. I have read countless saints' scriptures and enlightened myself countless times. I have thought hard about how scholars should correct their minds. I never thought that there are people who already understand the Confucian way."
"This is incredible, this is incredible."
Gu Yun was shocked in his heart. His short body was already trembling. He wanted to scream wildly and roar with excitement, but he didn't dare. He covered his mouth and his eyes turned red with excitement.
Because outside the other courtyard, there is the Lord of Mingyue City, who is a pill-forming monk. If he makes any sound, he will be heard. He did not arrange a Confucian barrier in advance. This is a point he ignored.
"It seems that I have to be more careful in the future."
Gu Yun thought to himself, but at the same time he couldn't help but look horrified.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the door. Zhou Wenyuan, as a true Confucian, knew that this scripture was excellent, but he did not know how good it was, what it meant, and what it represented.
However, as a great Confucian, Gu Yun clearly knew what this scripture represented.
What Confucian scholars pay attention to is a correct mind, knowledge, and knowledge of the saints. Finally, they can walk the holy path, understand the destiny, act for the people, educate all people, and assist the emperor.
This is a very general concept. All scholars know the purpose of their studies, which is to assist the emperor, educate all people, and make everyone do good. Although there are saints who divide realms, this is based on Confucian ability.
Therefore, there are many scholars, but there are very few true Confucian gentlemen. Firstly, it is because there are saints who suppress them, and secondly, it is difficult to gather Confucian righteousness and eventually become a Confucian by just relying on reading.
Therefore, in recent years, scholars all over the world have come up with two opinions: "Without Confucian righteousness," is he not a gentleman? Or, "What does Confucian righteousness really mean?"
These two viewpoints are the most concerned and tangled issues among scholars today.
This scripture by Song Zhishu perfectly answers these two questions. It tells people in the world that if they want to become a gentleman, they must understand what moral character is. Being upright and upright can make people abandon the old and pursue the new, so that people can reach the most perfect state.
.
"Be clear and virtuous, be close to the people, and be perfect. It is better to be clear and virtuous, to be close to the people, and to be perfect."
"Know and be determined, be calm and still, be still and peaceful, be peaceful and worry, and be careful and gain."
"This is the way, a process, step by step, that's probably what it means."
Gu Yun carefully understood the truth brought by this scripture, but what really shocked Gu Yun was that to bring peace to the world, he must first govern the country. If he wants to govern the country, he must organize his family. If he wants to regulate his family, he must cultivate his morality and desire.
To cultivate one's self, one must have a correct mind. Those who have a correct mind must be sincere in their intentions. Those who are sincere must achieve knowledge, and the way to achieve knowledge is to study things.
This is a great thing to say, but what should scholars do? The first thing that scholars in the world do is to think about governing the country or doing something for the world. Each one shouts better slogans than the other.
But in fact, they just shout slogans and ask them to do things. They don't know what to do. They either read the books of sages or follow some teachers to learn.
In the end, only a few can truly become scholars, gentlemen, and Confucian monks. This is the current Confucian and Taoist environment.
"When the saint was still there, the saint alone occupied eight realms of cultural energy. Now that the saint has fallen, the cultural energy has dispersed. Countless forces are eyeing my Confucian destiny, and the entire Confucian monks are looking for a clear path."
"But I didn't expect that it would be solved today. With this scripture, it will shine brightly at the Longyuan Conference three months later. This scripture will shock the scholars all over the world."
Thinking of this, Gu Yun couldn't help but tremble. The more he thought about it, the more he knew what this scripture could bring. This was a scripture that could shake the entire Confucianism and Taoism.
"A classic that all scholars in the world must learn."
Gu Yun clenched his palms full of veins. He had already identified this scripture as a must-learn for all scholars in the world.
"Study things, develop knowledge, be sincere, have a correct mind, cultivate one's character, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."
The great scholar Gu Yun muttered these words over and over again, but he did not say them out loud, but read them in his heart.
"The posture of a saint, you really are the posture of a saint. Wenyuan, Wenyuan, you really have found a treasure."
Picking up the rice paper, Guyun Daru burned the scripture directly. After calming down, he walked out of the study and walked outside.
"Elder Mingyue, thank you for sending the letter. Do you need to stay for a casual meal?"
Guyun Daru smiled and said that what he wanted to do most now was to fly to Taihao Sword Sect, but he knew better that Taihao Sword Sect also coveted Confucian luck. If Taihao Sword Sect knew about the existence of Song Zhishu.
That has nothing to do with their Confucianism. With such an existence, Confucian Gu Yun will be dragged over life or death. It doesn't matter whether he cultivates immortality or not. The important thing is to become a disciple of his school.
Therefore, he must not let the Lord of Mingyue City have too much suspicion.
"Mr. Gu Yun, you're welcome. If there is nothing else, I will leave."
The Lord of Mingyue City spoke up. He was an elder of the Taihao Sword Sect. At his level, he had to report before going out. If he came out temporarily, it would be against some of the rules of the sect, so he had to go back early.
"Are you in such a hurry? I still want to keep you here for a casual meal, just in time to talk about Wenyuan's letters."
Master Gu Yun sighed and deliberately mentioned the letter sent by Zhou Wenyuan.
"I stopped eating. We, as cultivators, have already stopped eating grains. But when did Brother Wenyuan have such a hurry?"
The Lord of Mingyue City was slightly curious.
"Well, after all, it is actually about my luck in Confucianism and Taoism. Now that the saint has passed away, all major forces are vying for my luck in Confucianism. The Taihao Sword Sect has even built academies and opened schools."
"Wen Yuan found a few talented scholars in your Taihao Sword Sect. It's a pity that they are your inner disciples. In the future, they will compete for your Taihao Sword Sect's luck. Therefore, Wen Yuan felt worried.
I asked you to deliver the letter, which is actually for this matter."
"He hopes that I, the Confucian Master, can come forward and make the major sects converge a little. At the same time, he also wants to cooperate with Taihao Sword Sect."
Gu Yun is worthy of being a great Confucian. His half-truths and half-false words are both logical and reasonable. Nowadays, all the major sects in the world are competing for the luck of Confucianism. It is normal for Zhou Wenyuan to have such worries. As for the solution he came up with
, can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
"I didn't expect that Taihao Sword Sect actually has talented people. However, regarding cooperation, I still have to ask the leader. I don't have the authority."
"But I'm curious about what kind of talent he has that would make Brother Wenyuan so excited."
The Lord of Mingyue City asked with a smile.
"Wenyuan said that he has the talent of a saint. If he cultivates it well, he can become a saint in the future."
Guyun Daru answered directly, not hiding anything at all, but as soon as he said this, the Lord of Mingyue City was stunned, and then smiled awkwardly, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
Do you think I'm a fool? A saint's talent? If there really is a saint's talent, even if you kidnap me, you'll tell me?
It seems that Zhou Wenyuan's letter refers to someone else, and he should be careful about himself.
"Sir, what do you think?" Mingyue City Lord answered.
"I plan to go and have a look. After all, Wenyuan is a simple and honest boy and doesn't like to exaggerate."
Guyun Daru smiled and spoke.
"I just want to go back. Sir, do you want to go to Taihao Sword Sect together?"
The Lord of Mingyue City continued to ask.
"That's not necessary. Let's wait for a few days to pass. There are still some unfinished things recently. After finishing the things at hand, we can go and see the saint's appearance."
Guyun Daru seemed casual, and this kind of answer made Mingyue City Lord think that the other party was simply deceiving him.
"In that case, I will leave first. If sir is going to come to Taihao Sword Sect, let me know in advance that Wang will definitely have a feast."
The Lord of Mingyue City no longer wants to stay here. As for Confucian matters, to be honest, he has no intention of getting involved. It doesn't matter whether he is on guard or not.
"Thank you Elder Mingyue for sending the letter. If you have the chance, we can have a good chat."
Guyun Daru smiled and spoke. After hearing this, the Lord of Mingyue City bowed and left.
Soon, after Mingyue City Lord left, Master Gu Yun also slowly walked into the room. After lighting a stick of incense, he confirmed that Mingyue City Lord had completely left.
Great Confucian scholar Gu Yun pushed open the door and waved his hand. In an instant, Confucian righteousness turned into wind at his feet and flew towards the Academy of Literature.
Less than ten breaths.
In Da Zhou Wen Yuan, Confucian Gu Yun came to the Chuan Temple. Without saying a word, he directly opened the door. An old man was sitting in the main hall, reading scriptures.
"Brother Ningping!"
"Sent this time!"
"Let's go, let's go quickly, follow me, call Brother Xu Yuan and Brother Li Jing together, our Nanpai Wenfu is really prosperous this time."
Great Confucian Guyun suppressed his voice and trembled as he came to the old man's side and said with great excitement.
