"Confucianism is me, Confucianism and Taoism are the true self. Confucianism's essence of justice, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, trust, loyalty, courage, filial piety and honesty are all just a part of me. The wisdom and understanding of literature and Taoism are naturally included in it. It's just that the world is chaotic, just like a baby in its mother's womb.
It is said to be innate and spotless, but after birth, it eats whole grains and grains, inhales the turbid air of heaven and earth, the spiritual platform is clouded, and all the orifices are closed, so it becomes ignorant, falls into acquired nature, and loses its original self."
"What Confucianism does is to get rid of this ignorance, return to the origin, and find the true self."
"Benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, loyalty, bravery, filial piety and honesty are just ways and means. The true self is the ultimate goal. It is the same whether it is Confucius or the saints. It's just that thousands of people are different in front of them, and the path they pursue is naturally different.
.So Confucius is honored as a saint, all the disciples are honored as saints, and later generations are praised as virtuous.”
Chen Shaojun said solemnly, every word of his words was crystal clear and ringing.
Whether you have a utilitarian mind or not, as long as it does not go against your original intention, it is the Tao.
Although he turned to literature and Taoism to save his master, he had a purpose, but isn't respecting teachers and respecting Taoism itself what Confucianism and Taoism advocate? How could it be wrong?
The main hall was quiet. The white-haired old man stared blankly at the young man in front of him and remained silent for a long time.
"Confucianism is me, Confucianism and Taoism are the real me... Is this the true meaning of Confucianism and Taoism?"
The white-haired old man murmured to himself.
He had been reading the classics all his life and thought he had understood the teachings of the sages. Unexpectedly, he heard the original meaning of Confucianism and Taoism from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.
At this moment, the old man felt mixed emotions and emotions.
"I never imagined that a lifetime of studying would be worse than a younger generation who has been educated. Young man, you have passed this test."
The white-haired old man sighed.
"The teacher is overrated. This is just a student's opinion and may not be correct."
Chen Shaojun said respectfully
The white-haired old man shook his head, his mind resonated, and his aura echoed into his body. These two had already given the answer, and it was no longer something he could judge.
"The Ziju school is proud to have a student like you. I am afraid that no one among your peers in the seven schools can compare with you. Your future achievements will definitely be limitless!"
The white-haired old man sighed.
Students from other schools would definitely be very surprised if they saw this, because everyone knows that the guardians of the scriptures in the Wen Palace always cherish words like gold, and usually only nod or shake their heads.
If you agree, you will pass, if you don't agree, you will leave. However, this time I talked so much with the disciples of Ziju School, and even expressed my appreciation for the first time.
"The teacher is so complimentary!"
Chen Shaojun said sincerely.
"Forget it, I received your favor today and unintentionally received the sage's message, so I will simply give you a helping hand. The mark in your body has been loosening for more than ten years, so I will simply strengthen it for you, or I can do it for you.
You've saved yourself from future disaster."
The white-haired old man said.
"Mark, what mark?"
Chen Shaojun was very surprised when he heard this. What was the protector talking about? How could there be any mark in his body?
"you do not know?"
The old man was stunned and greatly surprised:
"Didn't you feel something when you entered the Wen Palace?"
"Feeling? What does it feel like?"
Chen Shaojun was confused and became more and more confused. When he entered the Wen Palace, apart from feeling a little depressed, he didn't feel anything else.
"Ha ha!"
When the old man saw this, he understood something and couldn't help but laugh:
"I see, that's it...it's okay not to know, it's not necessarily a bad thing!"
"Buzz!"
Before Chen Shaojun could react, the white-haired old man suddenly stretched out his finger and touched the center of Chen Shaojun's eyebrows, and then a huge aura of awe broke out.
That huge force surged like a river and sea, quickly turned into a mark and then sank into Chen Shaojun's body.
Buzz, just in the blink of an eye, everything disappeared without a trace, and the white-haired old man also retracted his finger.
"Okay, you can enter the back hall."
Chen Shaojun wanted to ask a few more questions, but the old man had already closed his eyes.
"Thank you teacher!"
Understanding that the old man did not want to say more, Chen Shaojun stood up, bowed and quickly walked towards the back hall.
"Teacher, what happened just now? What happened?"
And not long after Chen Shaojun left, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a famous Confucian master rushed over and appeared in the main hall.
Although the white-haired old man seems to be unattractive, judging from everyone's reactions, it seems that the old man's status is still above everyone else.
However, in the main hall, the white-haired old man sat motionless, as if he had not heard everyone's voices at all.
"Confucianism is me, Confucianism and Taoism are the real me..."
The white-haired old man murmured to himself, and what he read out was exactly what Chen Shaojun said before:
"It's in vain that I have read scriptures all my life and questioned so many people, but I don't even understand what true Confucianism is!"
The old man sighed, suddenly understood something, and then closed his eyes and remained motionless.
"ah!"
The next moment, amidst everyone's exclamations, a burst of awe-inspiring righteousness suddenly burst out from the old man's head. The aura of awe-inspiring power was still milky white and pure at first, but in the blink of an eye it turned into a light golden color. It looked extremely sacred, and also
More and more thick.
The spirit of a sage!
"Teacher, teacher has an epiphany!"
At this moment, all the great Confucian masters in the Wen Palace were extremely shocked.
Everyone knows that the teacher's cultivation has stagnated decades ago, and the scholar in the Wen Palace is full of scholars in order to make a breakthrough.
It’s just been so many years, why is it now, what happened just now, and why has the teacher changed so much?
"Is it that boy?"
At this moment, everyone thought of something almost instinctively in their minds. They all looked in the direction where Chen Shaojun disappeared, and their hearts were shocked.
…
On the other side, Chen Shaojun was unaware of the changes that had happened to the white-haired old man. His mind was completely filled with the last inexplicable words of the old man.
"The mark, what exactly is the mark?"
Chen Shaojun frowned. He checked his body carefully and couldn't feel anything strange at all, but the old man had indeed made a seal inside his body.
"Could it be reincarnation without form?"
Suddenly, Chen Shaojun's heart moved and he thought of something.
No one has ever succeeded in formless reincarnation before, and even the master may not know the key to it. It is entirely possible that if formless reincarnation is incomplete and there are some flaws left behind.
If the white-haired old man was referring to this, that would be amazing.
I just don't know why, but Chen Shaojun still feels that something is wrong, as if something is missing.
The old man was unwilling to say more. Chen Shaojun thought for a long time and found nothing, so he had to give up. However, Chen Shaojun was soon attracted by something else.
"This is...a golden page?!"
Chen Shaojun's attention quickly focused to the depths of his mind.
It has been a while since Chen Shaojun got this golden page. However, since then, this golden page has been in a lifeless and dark state without much change. But at this moment, Chen Shaojun suddenly found the golden page in his mind.
The pages of the book glowed brightly and became extremely active, and the golden pages actually contained a huge amount of energy.
This is Haoran’s righteousness!
"They all entered the golden pages!"
Chen Shaojun was shocked in his heart.
When he was thinking before, he also faintly felt the changes in his body, and it seemed that a large amount of Haoran's righteousness was pouring into his body.
Chen Shaojun was not in a high realm and could not retain such awe-inspiring righteousness. However, Chen Shaojun did not expect that all those huge energies would be absorbed by the golden pages.
Although it is only a thin page, the energy absorbed by this golden page seems to be endless.
Not only that, after absorbing a large amount of energy, Chen Shaojun felt that the originally blurry writing on the page suddenly became much clearer, and he could vaguely distinguish some glyphs, but there was something missing and he couldn't really see it clearly.
"It's my lack of understanding!"
Chen Shaojun was so blessed that he immediately understood something.
"The only thing I can do is to find a way to obtain the Crown of Literary Dao, so that I might be able to see the secrets on the golden pages."
Chen Shaojun thought to himself and quickly entered the back hall.
After crossing the threshold, his eyes suddenly opened up. Chen Shaojun raised his eyes and saw at a glance a tall statue of Confucius in the hall, holding the Spring and Autumn Festival.
The eyes of the hole statue are compassionate and lifelike, and the whole body exudes a wave of literary energy, giving people the feeling that it is alive.
Although the statue of Confucius is made of clay, it is connected with the essence of the sages and is like a clone of the saint.
"Student Chen Shaojun meets the teacher!"
Chen Shaojun bowed respectfully, straightened up, and then looked elsewhere.
Just behind Master Kong Sheng, stands a square altar that is more than nine feet high and more than one foot long. The altar is green and black in color, with a bright light emitting from the whole body, and there are circles of tadpole-like black gods on the surface of the altar.
Wen looks extremely mysterious.
The top of the altar is a circular corridor like a well. The corridor seems to be connected to another world. A steady stream of energy spurts out from it like a tide, rising several feet high.
And in the tide of blue-black light, Chen Shaojun saw floating golden words one after another. Each one seemed to contain huge power. Around each word, even the void collapsed and twisted, and numerous phantoms appeared.
With Chen Shaojun's cultivation level, he couldn't even distinguish the glyphs. He could only see blurry light groups. And when Chen Shaojun stared at the golden words, he immediately felt a pressure from his soul, like pieces weighing heavily.
The layers of boulders are stacked on top of each other, weighing down on my soul, which makes me feel extremely uncomfortable.
"This is the power of the avenue!"
Chen Shaojun had to quickly look away. This was the Altar of Light.
If you want to obtain the Crown of Light, you must use the Crown of Light Altar.
The Altar of Light Crown is the place where the Crown of Light is nurtured, and it is also the place where heaven and earth are connected. Chen Shaojun's cultivation is not enough, so naturally he cannot resist the pressure of this great avenue.
"Are you Chen Shaojun, a disciple of Ziju School?"
At this moment, a mellow voice came into my ears. Just in front of the Guangman Altar, two Confucian and Taoist masters in blue robes had been waiting silently.
The expressions of the two of them were calm, and there was no wave in their eyes.
Wen Dian is aloof and not among the Eight Great Schools, nor does he have any prejudice against students of the Eight Great Schools.
Although Chen Shaojun was ostracized by various factions outside the palace, no one in the Wen Palace would go out of his way to make things difficult for him.
"Students are exactly that."
Chen Shaojun looked solemn and immediately stepped forward to salute.
