The world of Yangshen is essentially an idealistic world.
Focus on spiritual understanding and smooth mind.
What is merit?
Being mindful without stagnation is a merit.
To put it bluntly, being kind and charitable is not a merit, that is, saving the world is not a merit. A smooth mind and a happy heart are merits.
"Next, if you want to improve your cultivation, you must gather the luck of heaven and earth!"
Liu Xiu thought.
In the original work, before compiling the I Ching, although Hong Yi was powerful, he could not be said to be invincible; but after compiling the I Ching, he was invincible. He could defeat a group of people one by one and win every battle.
"From today on, I am Wang Yangming!"
Liu Xiu smiled.
In this world, Confucianism is divided into two factions, one is Neo-Confucianism headed by Hong Xuanji, and the other is Xinxue represented by Li Yan, Li Shenguang and others.
In the imperial court, Neo-Confucianism obviously overwhelmed Xinxue, because the emperor needed Neo-Confucianism to maintain his rule.
As for the study of mind, it is somewhat unruly and has been suppressed by the rulers of the past dynasties.
It can be said that Xin Xue is a heresy of Confucianism.
"However, the truth is the truth. The first thing is the way, and the second is the reason!" Liu Xiu thought: "What is the way? If you win the battle, you have the reason!"

"Master, there is a scholar named Wang Yangming... This is a greeting card!"
In a remote courtyard in Yujing City, a greeting card was sent to me on this day.
Li Shenguang just nodded slightly and accepted the invitation casually.
When I opened the greeting card, I saw the word "heart" written on it.
This word seems to have endless magic power, thousands of creations evolve in it, the mysteries of the heavens are derived from it, the years change, everything comes and goes, and time and space fluctuate.
"Good words!"
Li Shenguang praised, and continued to look at it, and saw a poem written on it: "A body without injury or disgust, with both good and malicious movements. Knowing good and evil is conscience, doing good and eliminating evil is the pursuit of things!"
"A good poem. This poem tells the secret of mind science. It seems that this person is a master of mind science, similar to me. Please..." Li Shenguang said, "No, I will go to greet you in person!"
With that said, Li Shenguang went out in person. He didn't have time to dress up and went to greet him.
At the door of the mansion, there was a young man. He was very young. He seemed to be only eighteen years old. He was dressed simply and elegant, but he had a unique aura, like a Confucian saint. That unique aura seemed to be able to become a symbol of visualization. Objects allow monks to enter samadhi.
"Are you Mr. Yangming?"
Li Shenguang said.
"I am Wang Yangming!" Liu Xiu said with a smile.
"please!"
"please!"
There are no excessive politeness, because there is no need.
Entering the living room, Li Shenguang asked: "What is the heart?"
"Heart is reason!" Liu Xiudao.
Li Shenguang said again: "What is the heart!"
Liu Xiudao: "The unity of knowing and doing is the heart!"
Li Shenguang asked: "What is the heart?"
"The heart is the universe, and the universe is the heart!"
Li Shenguang asked, and Liu Xiu responded. Li Shenguang is a master of psychology, and Liu Xiu is also a master of psychology. Immediately, the two fell into an academic discussion.
The more we talk about it, the more we speculate, and we feel a sense of mutual sympathy.
"The Dao has yin and yang, and Confucianism also has yin and yang. The yin of Confucianism is Neo-Confucianism; the yang of Confucianism is the science of mind. Neo-Confucianism is essentially "ethics", which pays attention to order, kings, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons. Even if it is very poor Order is better than no order!"
"Xinxue pays attention to the heart, pays attention to the heart as reason, the unity of knowledge and action, and leads to conscience. In essence, Xinxue is closer to the real Confucianism; Neo-Confucianism is the Confucianism that kings need!"
"Among Confucianism, Neo-Confucianism is the mainstream and is highly respected by the world; as for the philosophy of mind, it is a heresy and may be admired by some, but Mr. Ye is fond of dragons and does not really like it!"
"Under Neo-Confucianism, loyal ministers and bureaucrats are cultivated. They may not be able to govern the country, but they are stable and will not cause big troubles; Xinxue cultivates ministers who are able to help the world and save the world one by one.
A capable minister has always been disliked by kings!"
Liu Xiu said: "The study of mind is declining. I plan to open Yangming College in Yujing City to teach about the study of mind! Please help me!"
"This is natural!"
Li Shenguang said: "It's just a matter of mind, and it doesn't please the emperor!"
"So what?" Liu Xiu said domineeringly: "Back then, the Hundred Saints were able to suppress the Holy Emperor, eliminate four titles, and transform from the Nine-Nine Supreme to the Nine-Five Supreme...and I can do it too!"
As he spoke, he no longer concealed his own aura, and the Creator's aura leaked out.
In this world, strength speaks for itself after all, and strength makes sense.
In the previous life on earth, why was Marxism so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, spread all over the world, and became a prominent doctrine? It was because the two great countries of the Soviet Union and China were born, proving its correctness; why the concept of democracy and freedom in later generations was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, because the American empire was the most powerful.
The most capable.
If you have strength, only what you say will be believed by the world. Even if you refer to a deer as a horse, the world will only hold your nose and approve. But if you don't have strength, no matter what you say, no one will care.
"You are the Creator, and you have entered the realm of saints!"
Li Shenguang originally had a guess, but now that it was confirmed, he couldn't help but said happily.
The birth of a saint in Xinxue means that the right to speak has greatly increased. In the future competition for the structure, he will overwhelm Neo-Confucianism and Hong Xuanji.
This is a battle of orthodoxy.
"That's right!" Liu Xiudao: "What I said is the truth?"
"It's the truth!" Li Shenguang said: "It's just a dispute between righteousness and justice. At that time, Neo-Confucianism was headed by Hong Xuanji... A few days later, a meeting was held in Sanhua Building, and we were able to discuss things with Hong Xuanji!"
"That's fine!"
Liu Xiu nodded and said, he was extremely curious about this son of Daqian.
Hong Xuanji was originally born as a commoner, a bit like Qi Tongwei, but later he became a disciple of the Daluo sect, and his martial arts skills continued to improve. He was also favored by beauties, had many confidants, and inherited the Tao of Creation. He was a destined protagonist.
If there is no son Hong Yi.
It's a pity that because of Meng Bingyun and Hong Xuanji's lack of Taoism, they were stuck in the human-immortal realm for twenty years. They lost their golden age and their role as the Son of Destiny.
…………
In the Marquis's mansion.
Hong Xuanji frowned slightly and looked at the invitation letter. It was Li Shenguang who sent the invitation letter, inviting him to Sanhua Tower for a discussion.
Discussing Tao is the dispute between Neo-Confucianism and Xinxue.
This kind of argument was held dozens of times, with neither side winning or losing.
But in fact, it was Li Shenguang who lost.
This is because in the imperial court, Neo-Confucianism prevailed, while Xinxue was weak.
Learning by heart has gradually become something that everyone praises and praises constantly, but no one really cares.
"Wang Yangming..."
Hong Xuanji looked at the name and frowned slightly. In the world of Yangshen, no one knew the meaning of this name, but the people on earth knew the meaning of this name. But after a moment, he relaxed and realized that even if there were variables, he was still expecting them.
