After listening to Zeng Shen's answer, Wang Liangyu's face completely collapsed, and he had great doubts about his more than a hundred years of hard training.
Does martial arts still have a future?
Yes, at this moment, Wang Liangyu had doubts about the martial arts he insisted on.
Before returning to the Spring and Autumn World and competing with Yan Hui, Wang Liangyu had always been confident in his martial arts and his own cultivation. After all, after several worlds of experience, Wang Liangyu had always dominated the world with invincibility.
However, after two sparring sessions with Yan Hui, Wang Liangyu was directly knocked back to the starting point.
Before Confucianism, martial arts were too weak to fight back!
Even if Wang Liangyu tried his best, he could not match Yan Hui's words. Such a gap caused Wang Liangyu's confidence to suffer an unprecedented blow!
Seeing Wang Liangyu's devastated look, Yan Hui, Zeng Shen and others were a little panicked. They all realized something was wrong and quickly tried to comfort him.
Wang Liangyu waved her hand to stop everyone's consolation: "I'm sorry, I want to be quiet!"
After that, without waiting for everyone's agreement, Wang Liangyu walked out of the building on his own, like a zombie.
In the courtyard, Yan Hui and others looked at each other and turned around to look for Confucius. When they turned around, they saw Confucius standing under the eaves.
"Master!" Yan Hui quickly walked up to Confucius and bowed respectfully, looking ashamed.
Confucius waved his hand, looked at Wang Liangyu's back, and said slowly: "Don't worry, he will figure it out!" After a pause, he turned to look at Zeng Shen and told him, "Shen, follow him and don't disturb him.
, and don’t let anything happen to him.”
Zeng Shen left in response and followed Wang Liangyu from a distance, walking in the city of Diqiu.
In the tavern, Yan Hui bowed and saluted, with a look of shame on his face: "Master, it's Hui's fault!"
Confucius shook his head slowly, looked down at Yan Hui, and asked: "Hui, what do you think of Liang Yu?"
Yan Hui was startled when he heard this and looked at Confucius in confusion.
Confucius gently twirled his long beard and said with a smile on his face: "The three armies can seize the commander, but an ordinary man cannot seize the will. Liangyu has a firm mind, but he is not as fragile as you think!"
Yan Hui was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said, "That's great!" After a pause, he continued, "When Liangyu comes back, I will apologize to him again!"
"No need!" Confucius waved his hands when he heard this and said, "He will figure it out himself!"
Yan Hui was a little surprised and looked at Confucius doubtfully.
Confucius chuckled and explained slowly: "Liang Yu was defeated by you. What is difficult to accept is not the defeat to you, but the defeat of martial arts to Confucianism." Immediately, his voice changed and he asked again, "Return,
What do you think would happen if Liangyu practiced Confucianism?"
Yan Hui hesitated for a long time, shook his head and said, "I'm not as good as this!"
This is not because Yan Hui means to be modest, nor does Yan Hui mean to promote Wang Liangyu, but because Wang Liangyu has insights ahead of his time and has more than two thousand years of cultural accumulation in later generations. Even if Wang Liangyu has not studied the Confucian classics described by Confucius,
, but he always said one or two wise sayings, such as "knowledge and action are consistent with conscience" and so on.
As soon as these famous aphorisms came out, Confucians were naturally impressed. Even Confucius couldn't help but praise him again and again, saying that Wang Liangyu was born with Confucianism and Taoism.
Confucius nodded and asked: "Liangyu has been here for several months, why has he never joined my Confucian school?" After saying that, he sighed again and continued, "He has studied the scriptures with me for several months, but he has never nourished his Qi.
, why?”
Yan Hui was stunned when he heard this, his face full of astonishment.
The other Confucian disciples nearby were also stunned when they heard the conversation between Confucius and Yan Hui.
Confucianism teaches all kinds of people, whether they are ordinary people or traders and lackeys, they can enter Confucianism and practice Confucianism. Those with outstanding talents, such as Yan Hui and Zeng Shen, can successfully cultivate their Qi and enter Taoism in a short time. Even those with low talents can, as long as they devote themselves to it.
Cultivating one's moral character and cultivating one's nature can always cultivate a Confucian spirit.
On the other hand, Wang Liangyu is obviously extremely talented and is the seed of Confucianism and Taoism praised by Confucius, but he has never cultivated his Qi and entered Taoism. Why?
At this moment, everyone was confused and looked at Confucius in surprise.
Yan Hui looked simple and honest, but in fact he was talented and intelligent. After the initial shock, he quickly understood. He looked at Confucius and replied: "Liang Yu's ambition is not Confucianism, but martial arts!"
"Of course!" Confucius nodded and sighed with emotion, "Liang Yu aspires to martial arts, and what he wants to cultivate is the spirit of martial arts, not the spirit of Confucianism!"
In Confucianism, nourishing qi means nourishing the spirit. Confucian disciples cultivate their moral character and cultivate their nature. What they nourish is the spirit of "benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust" derived from Confucian classics. Because everyone's understanding is different, Confucian disciples nourish qi slightly differently. For example, Yan Hui
He focused on virtue, while Zigong was better than words.
However, in the final analysis, Confucian nourishment of Qi is derived from Confucian classics, which is the foundation of Confucian practitioners.
Looking at Wang Liangyu again, what he wants to cultivate is the spirit of martial arts. Naturally, what he needs is not the foundation of Confucian Dao, but the spirit and spirit suitable for martial arts. To cultivate the spirit of martial arts, he can become the foundation of martial arts.
Precisely because he knew Wang Liangyu's ambitions, Confucius never took the initiative to contact Wang Liangyu in the past few months, nor did he make any small plans for him, just because he did not want his will to interfere with Wang Liangyu's practice.
Yan Hui suddenly realized it, and soon his face showed worry again, and he became even more worried about Wang Liangyu's condition.
Seemingly seeing the anxiety in Yan Hui's heart, Kong Fuzi smiled calmly and said slowly: "Don't worry, this competition is also a test for him. If he can survive it, he will have mastered the martial arts!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Hui immediately beamed with joy and silently prayed for Wang Liangyu.
On the other side, in Diqiu City.
Wang Liangyu, who had been walking for half a day, gradually came back to his senses and immediately noticed Zeng Shen hanging behind him.
"Who asked you to follow me?" Wang Liangyu stopped, turned around, waved to Zeng Shen, and asked.
Zeng Shen walked forward with a smile. When he heard Wang Liangyu's question, he replied: "Master!" After a pause, he added, "Master was worried about you, so he asked me to keep an eye on you!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Liangyu smiled and thanked him, and then pulled Zeng Shen into a restaurant beside the road: "Come on, have a drink with me!"
Zeng Shen naturally would not refuse and followed Wang Liangyu into the restaurant.
We found a seat, ordered food and drinks, and while waiting, the two chatted.
"Liangyu, are you okay?" Zeng Shen sat opposite Wang Liangyu, looking at his expression that seemed to have calmed down, and asked with some uncertainty.
Wang Liangyu shrugged, sighed, and said with a bit of bitterness: "A defeat is a defeat. No matter how uncomfortable I feel, I can only recognize the reality. There is still a long road ahead, so just walk slowly!"
Hearing this, Zeng Shen knew that Wang Liangyu had really come forward. He couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Liangyu, you are actually very powerful. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to hold on for even one breath!"
Wang Liangyu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zeng Shen in disbelief, astonished: "Really or not? You can't even hold on for a breath in Yan Hui's hands?"
"That's right!" Zeng Shen nodded, with a matter-of-fact expression, "It's the saying 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and do no evil'. With my current ability, it is impossible to break free. I can only
Capture them without mercy!"
Wang Liangyu swallowed his saliva, looked Zeng Shen up and down, and asked curiously: "Is Yan Hui so powerful?"
"Of course, that's Yan Hui!" Zeng Shen's face was full of exaggeration, and his wide eyes were full of admiration. "The master praised him and said, 'You are a virtuous Hui.'
Hui? Hui also hears one to know ten, Zhi also hears one to know two'!"
After a pause, Zeng Shen took another deep breath and sighed: "Three thousand disciples of Confucianism, whether it is Confucianism or Confucianism, Yan Hui said he is second, but no one dares to say he is first!"
Wang Liangyu fell into silence after hearing this.
If you think about it carefully, Yan Hui is a saintly figure in Confucianism. In today's Confucianism, he is the second most Confucian person after Confucius. If you lose to him, why should you be depressed?
In fact, this is not only not a failure, but a supreme glory!
Thinking of this, Wang Liangyu's sadness and anger instantly disappeared, and a smile couldn't help appearing on his face, with a hint of pride.
Zeng Shen noticed the change in Wang Liangyu's expression and was a little surprised. He asked with concern: "Liangyu, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Liangyu waved his hand, then thought of something again, stared at Zeng Shen and said, "Zeng Shen, let's find a place to discuss things later?"
Zeng Shen waved his hand and quickly shook his head in refusal: "I am not your opponent, there is no point in sparring." After saying that, he did not give Wang Liangyu a chance to speak, and said, "Besides, Master asked me to watch you, but he did not ask me to spar with you.
.”
"Besides, Master doesn't allow me to take action!" Finally, Zeng Shen added with a frustrated look, "It's embarrassing for me to take action because you think I'm not good at learning!"
When Wang Liangyu heard this, he didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. He laughed sarcastically and never mentioned the discussion.
Just at this moment, the food was served.
Wang Liangyu said hello, took Zeng Shen and started eating and drinking until the glass was dry, and he was hearty.
After drinking and eating, Wang Liangyu and Zeng Shen did not return to the library, but went straight outside the city.
At the wine table, Zeng Shen finally couldn't resist Wang Liangyu's "instigation" and agreed to have a discussion with Wang Liangyu.
Outside Diqiu City, on a barren mountain.
Before the fight even started, Zeng Shen said with a frustrated look on his face: "Let me tell you first, my cultivation is not good enough and I am not good at learning, so I am no match for you!"
"Zeng Shen, are you the only Confucian like you? You give up before the fight starts? No wonder Master won't let you take action. It's really embarrassing!" Looking at Zeng Shen's weak look, Wang Liangyu frowned and couldn't help but say irritating words.
stand up.
When Zeng Shen heard this, his face suddenly became ugly, and his eyes towards Wang Liangyu became unkind.
"Yes, that's it!" Wang Liangyu was not surprised but overjoyed when he saw this, and said repeatedly, "Confucianism is not about raising waste. The Master has a saying, 'Use it and do it, abandon it and hide it'. It doesn't matter what you do in your daily life. Now we have to learn from each other.
When it comes to discussing the Tao, you have to show your momentum, you have to do it, and you have to use it!"
Zeng Shen was startled again when he heard this, and thought about it silently for a long time. The expression on his face and the aura on his body suddenly became different, with a sharper and more powerful force.
When Wang Liangyu saw this, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and thought to himself: "Am I siding with the enemy?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Zeng Shen across from him suddenly moved. He raised his right hand and four big characters appeared out of thin air in mid-air, "Introspection and Beware of Independence."
The four characters flashed with a faint golden light, and turned into four weapons, swords, spears, and assassinated Wang Liangyu from all directions.
When Wang Liangyu saw this, he was a little surprised. The Confucianism practiced by Zeng Shen seemed to be different from that of Yan Hui.
In the moment of doubt, Wang Liangyu did not take it lightly. He instantly launched the Vajra Indestructible Magic and collided with four weapons.
Amidst the clanging sound, the four weapons quickly shattered into pieces and then dissipated.
Wang Liangyu was stunned when he saw this, and turned to look at Zeng Shen.
Zeng Shen shrugged and said helplessly: "This is the only thing I can do now!"
Wang Liangyu was a little disappointed when he saw this, but when he imagined Zeng Shen's age, he was immediately relieved. The future Confucian sage Zengzi was still a young man under twenty!
Just as he was sighing, Wang Liangyu suddenly reacted and was slightly excited:
"Speaking of which, I can be considered as beating up a saint. Can't I brag about it in the future?"
