This time Zheng Xuan's image has changed into a young man. At this moment, he is standing in the hall, holding a book in his hand, listening to the teacher's lecture.
And this teacher seems to be a little unruly.
The teacher was wearing gorgeous clothes and had a large piece of jade tied around his waist. He was sitting in a high hall with a very bright red screen hanging on it.
He himself taught the disciples in front, and there were many beautiful women behind him, most of whom were good at musical instruments or dancing.
If such a teacher were placed in modern society, his parents would have reported him long ago, and his teacher's qualification certificate would have been cancelled!
Who is this person? He was teaching students to study at first, and then he went back to enjoy the women's dance and the women playing musical instruments. As for whether there was any disharmony, it probably wasn't...
Soon, Xiong Yan knew the teacher’s name—Ma Rong!
This was a great Confucian with a distinctive personality who did not follow the ordinary path. He was also a great Confucian. He was the greatest Confucian in the Eastern Han Dynasty before Zheng Xuan. Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan were both his disciples.
Seeing the teacher's appearance, and seeing some of his fellow disciples who occasionally glanced at the beautiful women behind the teacher, Zheng Xuan had the idea of benevolence in his heart.
In the eyes of other students, what's wrong with Ma Rong's status and enjoyment? Not to mention the situation in front of him, even if it is more ridiculous, it is acceptable.
But when Zheng Xuan saw this scene, what he thought of was Ren.
Is this considered benevolent?
In the eyes of teacher Ma Rong, do those dancers and singers still count as human beings? Or are they just tools for enjoyment and to relieve personal emotions?
In the eyes of fellow disciples, how many of them would regard these singers and dancers as human beings?
Even in the eyes of some fellow disciples, are my fellow disciples really considered human beings?
Then, Zheng Xuan thought about the current situation of the Han Dynasty. In the eyes of those powerful people, could a commoner like himself be considered a human being?
Ever since he had this question, Zheng Xuan often asked himself, what does it mean to be benevolent?
Zheng Xuan conducted a series of thoughts on this issue. These thoughts, translated into vernacular, are as follows: Does the concept of benevolence have any practical significance in today's era (Han Dynasty)? For personal cultivation, real life, and the Han Dynasty
Can this help?
With the practice of thinking, Zheng Xuan's age continues to change, his thoughts on benevolence also continue to change, and his personal strength continues to grow stronger!
When Zheng Xuan grew a beard, he was already one of the most powerful men in the world. Even the clan leader of the Commandery's Family might not be as powerful as him.
At that time, only the heads of a few families such as the Yuan family, the Yang family, and the Xun family could compete with him.
And when Zheng Xuan's beard filled both sides of his face, his strength ranked among the strongest in the world. Even if he was not the best in the world, he was not far behind.
From then on, Zheng Xuan began to implement his ideas and began to recruit disciples on a large scale.
Before that, Zheng Xuan did not dare to ask why. He was afraid of being exterminated and beaten to death by the aristocratic family and other great scholars.
Spreading knowledge on a large scale is not a good thing for aristocratic families!
Without strength, if you want to spread knowledge on a large scale, you are courting death!
Knowledge has long been monopolized!
You can pass it on to people in the circle!
You can pass it on to the nobles!
It's okay to pass it on to a poor family. After all, a poor family is a down-and-out family. Their ancestors were once rich, and they are also members of the inner circle.
For example, the famous Guo Jia came from a poor family.
It is okay to pass it on directly to the lowest level people, but it can only be passed on to a few disciples. If you want to pass it on to hundreds or even thousands, you will be assassinated or die of illness.
It wasn't until Zheng Xuan dared to recruit disciples on a large scale to spread knowledge that he suddenly remembered an idea - how powerful and terrifying was Confucius, who dared to directly recruit disciples on a large scale to spread knowledge at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period?
He was not killed by the nobles, nor was he assassinated by the nobles, nor did he die of illness. He still lived well to the age of seventy-three. How strong must he be?
Even if he's not number one in the world, he's almost there, right?
After thinking about this, Zheng Xuan not only admired Confucius, the patriarch, but also became more low-key and careful. He stayed in his hometown to study, recruit disciples, and spread knowledge.
Suddenly, Xiong Yan felt a headache, closed his eyes subconsciously, and all the scenes in his mind disappeared instantly.
My right hand was subconsciously placed on my head. It hurt so much!
Then, Xiong Yan felt very tired!
There was no strength in his body, and even the energy in his body was much thinner. Looking at Chu Xuan standing nearby, Xiong Yan raised his right foot, and his body accidentally lost its balance.
After Chu Xuan gave him a hand, Xiong Yan had time to observe his surroundings: "I'm so weak. Why is it so dark? It was still early morning just now."
"You subconsciously activated your talent and then fell into a trance. After I found out, I told others not to come and disturb you."
"Now, three days and three nights have passed."
"Get me something to eat quickly!"
After a while, Xiong Yan held a chicken leg in his left hand, a flatbread rolled with onions in his right hand, and a jar of rice wine in front of him, sitting in front of the campfire and roasting it. Chu Xuan, on the other hand, held a roasted chicken with relatively good firewood.
Put it on the campfire and roast it repeatedly, and occasionally apply some oil and add some spices (spices in Chinese medicine).
After finishing the chicken legs in a few mouthfuls, eating a piece of flatbread and a green onion, and drinking half a jar of rice wine, Xiong Yan began to tell his story.
"I just activated my talent and saw many experiences of Zheng Xuan. Among them, the biggest gain is the basic inheritance of Confucianism. I mean the basic inheritance of extraordinary aspects."
In pure history, there is no so-called extraordinary power. Confucianism relies on the strength of numbers and the needs of the monarch.
Although Confucianism has shortcomings of one kind or another, in terms of maintaining stability, it perfectly meets the needs of the rulers.
The great prosperity of Confucianism is not only the result of the efforts of Confucian scholars from generation to generation, but also the needs of the rulers themselves, both of which are indispensable.
And in a world where extraordinary power exists, the great prosperity of Confucianism is inseparable from the fact that Confucianism is very capable of fighting!
At least, the first generation of Confucian scholars back then were all very good at fighting!
Even in today's troubled times, there are many Confucian scholars in Zheng Xuan's memory who are very good at fighting!
Being capable of both literary and martial arts, carrying a sword on his waist, and daring to kill with the sword when pressed, this is the demeanor of a Confucian scholar in this era.
Such a demeanor would have been greatly criticized in the Song Dynasty. After all, in the values of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, monarchs like Zu Long and Li Er were not considered good monarchs, and they were all targets of criticism.
"The extraordinary power in this world is generally based on Qi and blood. Military generals all follow this path. Civil servants. There is not much difference between civil servants and military generals in this era. They can be literary, martial, and capable of killing people. They also practice Qi.
The way of blood."
In reality, ordinary people rely on practicing New Era Radio Gymnastics to exercise their whole body, slowly give birth to Qi and blood, and achieve extraordinary things.
"In the Han Dynasty, the soldiers here practiced the Daoyin technique recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. This Daoyin technique corresponds to the twelve zodiac signs one-to-one and is divided into twelve types."
"Under the premise of being able to eat well and endure hardships, practicing these twelve sets of guidance techniques can give birth to qi and blood within a few years. If you are extremely talented, it will only take a few months."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan still had no expression on his face. He just picked up the dogwood and sprinkled it on the roasted chicken, and then applied some oil to make it smell even more fragrant.
"This is not because these twelve sets of guidance techniques are so brilliant, but because during the process of practice, these twelve sets of guidance techniques will slowly absorb spiritual energy and induce spiritual energy to help you practice."
When there is no spiritual energy or very little spiritual energy, the four sets of Xiangxiangquan in the real world are the most efficient. When the spiritual energy is more abundant, the twelve sets of guidance techniques in the Huangdi Neijing are more efficient.
"In Zheng Xuan's memory, Confucian inheritance is a way to cultivate the power of the soul and the power of blood at the same time. Through the cultivation of benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, the soul can be trained at the same time from the beginning of the practice."
"However, this set of cultivation methods is too idealistic."
Having said this, Xiong Yan stretched out his right hand and patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder.
Chu Xuan, who had always had a calm expression, finally changed this time. He closed his eyes and took several breaths before opening them again.
"When you photographed me just now, you directly conveyed a lot of information to me. This information included an article of more than 3,000 words and twelve pictures, which are exactly the twelve guiding techniques recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon of this world."
Xiong Yan took the roast chicken and nodded seriously.
Then he started eating a lot. He was really hungry and his body was depleted, so he continued to replenish his food.
After a while, Xiong Yan finished a roast chicken, drank half a jar of rice wine, and ate three flatbreads and rolls with green onions. Only then did he feel a little full.
Chu Xuan, on the other hand, took advantage of Xiong Yan's meal time to write down the key points of practice that Xiong Yan passed on to him. In this short period of time, he wrote several hundred words.
"The way of the soul is indeed mysterious and unpredictable. At least in terms of transmitting information, it is countless times more sophisticated."
Words have their limits!
If the content that can be expressed by a picture is completely converted into words, it may require tens of thousands of words.
Only after a person reads these tens of thousands of words and fully understands them can he imagine what is described in the picture. But if he is asked to look at the picture directly, it takes only a moment.
Instantly surpassed the former who studied hard for half a month.
And Xiong Yan's shot mobilized his mental power, mobilized his thoughts, and directly completed the spiritual and mental exchange of information with Chu Xuan.
"This Confucian practice method seems to be about cultivating both the soul and the way of qi and blood. In fact, it is essentially about refining the heart and refining the spirit. The main focus is on refining the heart and refining the spirit as a supplement. As for the way of qi and blood, it is just incidental.
…”
"The most important thing is that it is too idealistic and there is no direct standard. Everyone has different views on benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust. This is originally good and is conducive to personality development, but if you look at it from another angle, it is
I can understand why there are so many traitors and cynics..."
