Chapter 57 Inheritance, the seeds of Confucianism and Taoism!
"My father knew everything. It was by chance that the child enlightened Wen Shu by chance. As for the rest, it was Wen Shu's sudden enlightenment and had nothing to do with the child."
Chen Shaojun said, "There is no need to hide Wen Shu's matter," and Chen Shaojun briefly described the matter.
"A snap of the fingers, a moment of eternity..."
Hearing Chen Shaojun's words to enlighten Wenshu, Chen Zongxi's eyes also had a few waves, but he soon returned to normal.
"This Wen Shu has indeed fallen into a demonic state. When I was young, I went to the Confucian Temple and encountered it. At that time, it was not that serious. I didn't expect that it has become more and more persistent over the years. Since you have seen Wen Shu, you have it.
The aura is not surprising, there is no surprise, the golden scripture page of Saint Xun on it should also be with you, right?"
Hearing these words, Chen Shaojun suddenly felt enlightened. No wonder he had the help of golden pages to cover his aura. His father saw through it at a glance. It turned out that his father did not see through his own cultivation, but felt the aura of Wen Shu in his body.
"The golden page is indeed on the child, but the child cannot understand it. The father's attainments are far better than the child, so it is better for the father to help the child understand a thing or two."
As Chen Shaojun said this, he gathered the golden page in his hand and wanted to give it to his father.
His own cultivation level was still too low. Chen Shaojun had thought before that his father's cultivation level was far better than his own, and this page of sage scriptures could play a greater role in his father's hands.
But as soon as Chen Shaojun opened his mouth, Chen Zongxi waved his hand to stop him.
"No need, every drink and every peck has a reason. Since those pages were given by Wen Shu, just keep them."
How could Chen Zongxi not know Chen Shaojun's thoughts? However, when his cultivation level reached his level, he was knowledgeable about the past and present, and knowledgeable about the world, so he did not have such a strong desire to pursue so-called treasures.
"And this time when I came back from the Holy Temple of the Three Provinces, my father also understood some things. There are no surprises. It won't be long before my father can make a breakthrough."
"What?"
When Chen Shaojun heard these words, he felt extremely excited.
"Father, you are about to break through to the master level!"
In the lineage of Confucianism and Taoism, it is easy to advance in the early stage, but it is difficult to advance in the later stage. There are many people at the level of Confucianism in the entire literary and Daoist world, but there are very few people at the master level.
The Zong character of Wen Dao Grandmaster represents the founding of a sect. It is easy to write a book and establish a scholar (great Confucianism), but it is more than ten times more difficult to establish a sect and a sect. If my father can break through to the realm of master, it will mean that the Ziju school has truly become a master.
It has the strength to compete with other sects and be on an equal footing. At least in the future, the situation of Ziju School in the capital will be much better.
"Um."
Chen Zongxi nodded, with a calm expression on his face, as if breaking through to become a master was just an ordinary trivial matter.
"If you don't break, you don't build. Break and then build. Only in the face of life and death can you have great enlightenment. You will understand it later. But this is not important. This is not why my father called you here. You are already fifteen years old.
Because you were confused before, my father never taught you, but now that you have enlightened, everything will naturally be different."
Hearing the word enlightenment, Chen Shaojun once again had that strange feeling in his heart.
This is the second time that his father has mentioned the matter of enlightenment. For some reason, Chen Shaojun always feels that his father's reaction is too bland and there is always something he doesn't know. But just for a moment, his father's voice reaches his ears.
, Chen Shaojun has no time to think about it.
"My father is asking you, do you know why our Ziju school has always been marginalized by other schools even though we are both Confucian and Taoist?"
When talking about this, Chen Zongxi looked quite serious.
Chen Shaojun nodded, he still understood this:
"My child understands, because our Ziju school is a Confucian scholar of Xiang Lu. In the past, when Xiang Lu was seven years old, he set up a formation at the head of the bridge and trapped Master Kong Sheng. Later, Master Kong Sheng got off the bus and promised to worship Xiang Lu as his teacher. This matter is known to all times.
Confucius once said that among three people, there must be a teacher. This teacher refers to Xiang Lu, who was also the only teacher that Confucius worshiped. This is also the reason why our Ziju school was excluded by other schools. But it was later tabooed by the saints.
Master Xiang Lu also joined the disciples of Confucius, and our Ziju School was born."
Although the eight schools of Confucianism have conflicts with each other and argue endlessly for the orthodoxy of Confucianism, only the Ziju school is the most special and is almost squeezed out by all other schools.
"The essence of Confucianism is benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, trust, filial piety and integrity, but do you know what the essence of our Ziju school is?"
Chen Zongxi said.
"The child doesn't know."
Chen Shaojun lowered his head and bowed.
He used to be ignorant, he really didn't know this, and his father had never taught him before.
"You were young before, but now it's almost time to teach you."
Chen Zongxi sighed and stretched out his hand:
"Do you see what's written on this plaque?"
Chen Shaojun subconsciously looked up and followed his father's fingers to the plaque posted on the wall behind his father's desk.
Chen Shaojun had been to his father's study before and had looked at this plaque many times. He even knew that it was written by his father himself, but this was the first time that Chen Shaojun had looked at this plaque so carefully.
"Go straight!"
Chen Shaojun read out the words above in a low voice.
There is no character or calligraphy to speak of in these words. From left to right, every word is square and straight, horizontally and vertically, without any deviation.
This is not the first time Chen Shaojun has seen it, but for some reason, Chen Shaojun has a special, indescribable feeling in his heart when he sees it again. He just feels that those few words have a kind of magic power, and they are compatible with his own blood, and they seem to be interacting with each other.
There is some kind of connection.
"Tell me, what did you see?"
Chen Zongxi asked, his expression serious, staring at Chen Shaojun intently.
Chen Shaojun was silent for a moment, knowing that his father was definitely not asking him what words were written on it.
"My child saw...the correct word!"
Chen Shaojun hesitated.
Chen Zongxi nodded, with a rare look of appreciation in his eyes:
"Very good, it seems that you have understood. Yes, the essence that our Ziju school follows is not in the seven-character essence of Confucianism. The only thing we practice is this straight character. Going straight on the right path is the representative of our Ziju school.
The rules of conduct and the way to abide by are passed down from generation to generation, which is also the great path that the founder Xiang Lu realized when he became an adult."
"Significant and upright, the so-called supreme principle of heaven and earth, whether it is benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, trust, or filial piety, no matter what kind of essence Confucius Sheng said, it cannot be separated from a righteousness, bright and upright, and awe-inspiring righteousness. This is what I will preach today.
Your son Ju Zhi Zheng, please remember that from now on, you will never be able to escape from the word Zheng!"
When Chen Zongxi said this, his expression was extremely solemn.
"Now, kneel down!"
The inheritance of teachers and Taoism is the most important thing in Confucianism and Taoism, starting with master and apprentice, then father and son.
Chen Shaojun also felt something at this time. In the study, he bowed his knees respectfully and knelt in front of his father with his body upright.
"I will teach you the essence of Ziju School now!"
Chen Zongxi looked serious. He stretched out his right hand, and a bright milky white light immediately burst out from the palm of his hand. The aura was ancient and vast, full of a majestic flavor. Even with Chen Shaojun's blood, in front of this energy
All seemed eclipsed.
Not only that, if you look carefully, you can see that there is a hint of the texture of the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers faintly visible in the milky white light.
The heaven and earth have righteous energy, and are mixed and endowed with manifolds; below are rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars.
That is Haoran’s righteousness!
At this moment, Chen Shaojun was so blessed that he suddenly understood.
This is the purest power in the lineage of Confucianism and Taoism, and it is a power that only great Confucians, great Confucians, and masters or above can have access to.
For thousands of years, the righteous thoughts in the hearts of countless people, the righteousness of mountains and rivers, the righteousness of the sun and the moon, the righteousness of laws and regulations... have gathered together and manifested in the world. This is Haoran righteousness!
Although Chen Shaojun had some understanding of it when he was in the immortal world, this kind of power is currently beyond his level.
Buzz, right in the center of Chen Zongxi's palm, a more dazzling light, pure white and translucent, emerged like a seed.
"This is a Confucianism and Taoism seed. It contains the essence of the word 'zheng' of our Ziju School. My father is passing it on to you now. Receiving this Confucianism and Taoism seed will be a help to you and can help you in the future."
Deepen your understanding of the essence of Confucianism, Taoism and sages, better understand its essence, and delve into knowledge, but at the same time it will also be a constraint on your future behavior."
"From now on, you must go straight on the right path and never deviate!"
Chen Zongxi said in a deep voice.
"My child understands and will obey his father's teachings!"
Chen Shaojun also said seriously.
Chen Zongxi nodded, took a deep look at Chen Shaojun, then reached out and pointed a finger in the center of Chen Shaojun's eyebrows, and the milky white Confucianism seed followed Chen Zongxi's finger and entered Chen Shaojun's mind like nothing.
The next moment, boom, Chen Shaojun felt a violent shock all over his body. A majestic power, as domineering as a flame, burst out in his mind. In just a moment, Chen Shaojun felt a surge of power pouring in.
The Wen Qi in the body climbed directly from the Two Dou of Wen Qi, to the Three Dou of Wen Qi, and finally to the Four Dou of Wen Qi!
When he opened the veins of bone and blood before and attacked the realm of bone and blood, Chen Shaojun's mental power was greatly consumed. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least two or three months of cultivation to recover, but now he has not only fully recovered, but also grown a lot. For Chen Shaojun,
Said, this is definitely an unexpected surprise.
"What a powerful force!"
Chen Shaojun opened his eyes suddenly, feeling extremely excited.
When Wen Shu was summoned at the Confucian Temple, Wen Shu gave him a golden page as a gift, and the Confucianism and Taoism seed given by his father directly increased his level by two realms, and the effect was close to half of the golden page.
But after thinking for a moment, Chen Shaojun felt relieved.
What his father bestowed upon him was not simply the essence of Confucianism, but the orthodox inheritance of the Ziju school of thought.
There are a total of eight schools of Confucianism, which means that there are almost only eight such special seeds. It is reasonable to have this effect.
