Chapter 137 The world will fall, and there are still Confucian sects
In the clouds.
A ray of cloud light shot through the atmosphere, speeding through the sea of clouds.
Lu Qingping took out the jade pendant and asked Sun Ci the doubts that had been stored in her heart for a long time.
What does this thing mean?
Judging from the expression on Mr. Sun's face, it was obvious that he knew him. There were so many people there just now, and it was difficult for him to ask. At this time, there were only the two of them heading to the capital in the clouds, so he could finally ask openly.
Master Sun Ci was already shocked when he saw what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought out. Now that he saw it again, he still found it difficult to calm down his emotions.
After taking two or three breaths, he looked deeply at the token and His Highness, and said seriously: "This is the Jade Gui, one of the nine jade in the Confucian sect. This object should be on the body of Mr. Sun Jingzhi, the Confucian scholar of Xiangshan Academy."
, being kept by him, actually appears in the crown prince, it really makes the old Taoist find it difficult to calm down."
Lu Qingping thought about the key information of Confucian Order and the Nine Jade of Confucianism, then looked at Sun Ci and asked: "How precious is this thing?"
Sun Jingzhi would ask her to hand this thing back to the Confucian sect even if she died. This shows how important this thing is, and then hearing the "Nine Jade Confucianism Sect" mentioned by Master Sun at this moment...
Master Sun Ci slowly said: "The Nine Jade of the Confucian Sect, in fact, they should be called the Nine Jade of the Confucian Sect. They are important tokens of the Confucian Sect, three of which are held by each of the three major academies of the Confucian Sect. The Jade Gui in the hands of His Royal Highness is
The three major jades in the Xiangshan Academy in the Southern Sui Dynasty: the jade seal, the jade ring, and the jade gui in the jade gui are in the hands of Mr. Jingzhi, the Confucian scholar of the Xiangshan Academy. These nine jades are as important to Confucianism as they are to Buddhism and Taoism
The sacred heritage tokens of the Holy Land are even superior in some aspects, which is an important reason why the Confucian Sect ranks first among the three religions today."
Lu Qingping couldn't help but be shocked as so much information poured into her mind.
The nine jade of Confucianism? The nine jade of master!
Can it be compared to the sacred heritage tokens of Buddhism and Taoism?!
In today's world, Confucianism is the most powerful among the three religions?
The last one, Lu Qingping, is not difficult to understand. After all, the Master is in charge of Yanfu and suppresses the common people, so that Buddhist and Taoist gods can only live in the mountains and are not allowed to participate in the political affairs of the dynasty. It is no problem to say that the strength of Confucianism is the first among the three religions, but Sun
The meaning behind Lao Zhenren's words seems that the reason why Confucianism is the strongest among the three religions is not only because of the Master, but also because of the factor of Yu Gui, one of the nine jade in his hand...
Lu Qingping looked at Lao Dao with a pleading look, asking Lao Dao to stop being so pretentious and make it clear once and for all.
Master Sun Cizhen was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "This has to start with the Confucian cultivation system. The prince should have heard of it."
"Well, I've heard about this. A true Confucian scholar doesn't cultivate his body or his soul. He only cultivates his mind. He spends his whole life honing the knowledge of Taoism. When the time comes, when the time comes and he thinks together, the mountains and rivers will shake and the ground will be shaken.
After sixty or seventy years of painstaking cultivation of principles, Lu Qingping was more powerful than some real Yuanshen in martial arts." Lu Qingping was talking about what she had heard from the world and the fragments she had learned from the Palace of Reincarnation.
Master Sun Cizhen nodded and said: "It is true. Real Confucian scholars do not practice their physical body or spirit in their whole life. They only study knowledge and principles and cultivate a noble spirit. This spirit is their cultivation. Sixty years ago, there was a scholar from Xiangshan Academy.
An old Confucian with extremely profound principles, once he thought about it, it affected the atmosphere of heaven and earth, and even the great master Yuanshen who was ranked eleventh on the mountain list at that time was knocked down by him."
"This old Confucian has been weak in body and soul for decades, but because they practice the rules and principles of heaven and earth, as long as their minds are in line with the principles of heaven and earth, they can unite heaven and man, and gain all kinds of extreme prestige between heaven and earth.
, the aura of heaven and earth has a higher affinity for these scholars than the spirits of Buddhism and Taoism. They have mastered the natural rules and principles of heaven and earth, and it is like they have obtained a key to unlock the treasures of heaven and earth."
"So Confucianism can be said to be the sect that is most likely to produce great masters. No one knows how many old scholars who study the principles of scholarship are hidden in those academies, private schools, or even huts in the mountains. Some of these people may be mediocre all their lives.
I don't know, but I don't know when a general will understand the truth and start to think about it, shaking the world."
Lu Qingping was stunned. Although he had never met those great Confucian scholars, in the past few days, he had met several people who practiced the Confucian Qi-nurturing method mentioned in Sun Zhenren's words.
The most representative one is Li Tingzhou on Tianzong White Lotus Peak.
He is not a Confucian scholar, but he practices Qi-nourishing methods.
The little idiot doesn't train his body or soul. He just studies the nature of the world on weekdays. Although he has no physical cultivation at all, his level of cultivation is probably not comparable to that of many martial arts masters.
At this time, Sun Ci changed the topic and said with emotion: "However, the Qi-nurturing system of Confucian scholars is not perfect. Although great masters are easy to emerge in this way, usually a peerless one may appear in seventy or eighty years."
Great Confucianism is comparable to the great spiritual master of Buddhism and Taoism. This is because the lifespan of these Confucian scholars is very short. These scholars neither cultivate the physical body nor the spiritual soul, so naturally they cannot stay in the world for a long time."
"So even though those great scholars can mobilize the power of heaven and earth and all kinds of weather with just their thoughts, they are still at the level of ordinary people, whether they are physical bodies or souls, and cannot escape the hundred-year limit of mortals."
Lu Qingping was shocked when she heard this. It turns out that even if a Confucian scholar becomes a great Confucian scholar, his life span is the same as that of ordinary people.
After he understood this, he looked at the jade in his hand and asked, "What does this have to do with the so-called Nine Jade of Confucianism?"
Master Sun Cizhen said in a leisurely manner: "That's what we're going to talk about next. I wonder if Your Majesty knows the three paths of spiritual practice in the world?"
Lu Qingping just learned about it from the Palace of Reincarnation.
But Master Sun Ci just used this to start the conversation. In fact, he did not think that the young prince would be able to understand the secrets of the top levels of the Taoist world in the Northern Tang Dynasty, so he continued without waiting for Lu Qingping to answer: "The so-called
The three paths of cultivation are the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. If you practice each treasure to a perfect state, you can become an immortal. For example, the prince has taken the warrior's essence, blood and body out of the way and reached the end. If he can take another step forward,
, you can be like Zhang Sanfeng and become a martial arts immortal, which is the path of essence and blood, one of the three treasures."
"In addition to the road of essence and blood, there is also the road of the soul. It is a path that practitioners all over the world will turn to after the great master of martial arts. It is also the path of the old Tao. At the end of the cultivation, the soul will walk out of the physical body and live in the world of heaven and earth.
The body is called a land god, and this is the path of the soul, one of the three treasures."
"Finally, there is the path of nourishing Qi practiced by true scholars in Confucianism. When this path is perfected, it is called the Immortal Living in the World. This is the path of the Heart Qi, one of the Three Treasures."
Having said this, Master Sun Ci looked at the young man and asked: "The three paths are different, and there is no higher or lower state. Just like the most important factor, lifespan. Whether they are martial arts immortals or land gods, their lifespans are longer than those of Confucianism."
The immortals who live in the door are even longer."
"Terrestrial immortals have the longest lifespan. Once they fly to the sky or find a cave in the universe, they can be said to be immortal."
"The lifespan of martial arts immortals is only eight hundred years. Once eight hundred years pass, their vitality will be exhausted. Even though they are immortals, they still have a human character. No matter how strong their bodies are, they will die of old age one day."
"The ones with the shortest lifespan are the immortals of the Confucian sect. As I just said, these real scholars do not cultivate their souls and bodies. Even if they become immortals, their life span is still at the level of ordinary people, which is only a hundred years."
Master Sun Ci did not finish what he said, but asked immediately: "But does the prince know why the Confucian immortals on the path of nourishing qi have the shortest lifespans, and are instead called immortals who live in the world?"
Lu Qingping had never thought about the names of these three immortal realms. At this time, when asked by Master Sun Ci, he humbly asked: "Why?"
Master Sun Ci looked at the jade guide in Lu Qingping's hand with a smile: "This is because everything in the world will perish. There is no long-lasting body, and there is no long-lasting soul. Even if the soul lives for a long time, it can only be called
Eternal life is achieved, not immortality. Once the soul is killed, it is still just a ball of air that dissipates. But only the principles of Confucian scholars will not disappear with the death of their bodies and the decay of their souls. These principles are
Confucian scholars only discovered and revealed the natural laws of heaven and earth. Even if their lives end, the principles are still the same. They have always been there and will not change."
"Among the three immortals, the immortals have the shortest lifespan, but they can condense the Tao Fruit that has the longest time to live in the world. This Tao Fruit is the condensed principle of the Confucian Celestial Immortals' lifelong practice. Once it is condensed, it will live in the world forever. Therefore, the immortal immortals in the world, said
It is not these Confucian scholars who have become immortals, but the principles and fruits they have left in the world that will last forever."
At this moment, Lu Qingping still doesn't understand what the thing in her hand is?
He looked at the Yugui in his hand with a shocked expression, and asked in disbelief: "Could this be the Yugui?"
Master Sun Ci nodded and said: "Each of the nine jade of the Confucian sect is actually the result of a peerless scholar born in the Confucian sect within three thousand years. He cultivated to the realm of immortals and left behind the fruit of living in the world. Then, through the hands of the master, these jade
Nine living Tao fruits were smelted into nine pieces of jade. Originally, the principles of these nine scholars were the realms of their lives, which were beyond the reach of later generations. However, because of Master's intervention, these nine Tao fruits were made into
The Nine Jade Confucianism Sect has become nine inheritance tokens, so that the descendants of the Confucianism Sect can inherit these tokens by gaining recognition, and then how much power they can exert depends on how much they understand the teachings of the sages."
"Three hundred years ago, there was a Confucian scholar who was recognized by the Jade Bi, one of the Nine Jade. His behavior conformed to the principles of the scholar in the Jade Bi, but he was able to obtain the magical power and Dharma realm.
With the help of the jade, I have the power of the gods!"
Lu Qingping looked at the jade guide in her hand with shock in her heart.
At this moment, he finally fully understood the precious value of this jade pendant.
A heavenly Taoist fruit!
If the person holding it can comply with the scholar's principles, he can instantly elevate his cultivation level to another heavenly realm.
And he finally understood the reason behind the statement just now, "Among the three religions, Confucianism ranks first."
The Master became a saint three thousand years ago, and then, during these three thousand years, he left the Taoist fruits of nine immortals to the Confucian sect. Through means, the power of the immortals was transformed into something that can be passed down from generation to generation. Even if ordinary people get it, as long as they can be recognized,
It can also be transformed into the second celestial being, the Nine Confucian Jade Artifacts.
This means that no matter in any era, in addition to the current Confucian immortals, there may be up to nine immortals!
Nine Taoist fruits, nine pieces of jade, nine immortals...
There are only nine gods on the mountain list now.
The foundation of Confucianism can rival a world leader.
Sun Laozhen said with emotion: "This is why those scholars often say something..."
That sentence is called:
The world is about to fall, but Confucianism still holds the sky with one hand...
A sect of scholars squeezed out Buddhism, Taoism, and immortals from the dynasty. It established a heart for heaven and earth, established a destiny for the people, inherited the unique knowledge for the saints, and created peace for all generations.
