Chapter 539: The Crisis of Confucianism in the Dust
"There are too many young people like this, which is really a pity."
"They are born with a much higher starting point than ordinary monks, but in many cases it is those with average talents who go further on the path of cultivation. It is really sad."
"Can Junior Uncle Understand what I said?" Yan Yuan asked earnestly, and then added: "As the dean of Qitian Academy, this is my opinion on the new entrants taking the Qitian Exam this year.
What the most outstanding disciple said is also my expectation for him!"
"Please give me more advice, Master!" I nodded in agreement and bowed deeply to Yan Yuan.
Until this moment, his relationship with me was truly equal, which made me feel particularly comfortable.
Especially his last sentence can be regarded as the final confirmation of each other's identity in the dialogue scene at this time, which benefited me a lot.
This made it the first time since I entered Qitian Academy, as an academy disciple, to listen to the teachings from the Academy’s nominal supreme leader, the Academy Master.
Even so, Yan Yuan still avoided my bow in a very subtle way.
He is not like a fledgling young monk like me. He has reached an extreme level of tact and has almost become an instinct in his life. He naturally understands the importance of discussing each other's identities in daily interactions.
I naturally noticed his behavior, but I didn't force it or point it out.
This is a tacit understanding between us!
"But to be honest, the peak of ordinary monks' practice is limited, and their mediocre talents determine that their realm cannot be infinitely improved."
"When their cultivation reaches a certain stage, they will face obstacles that are much more difficult to overcome than genius monks." Yan Yuan shook his head and said.
“Even if you have a great opportunity, it’s difficult to make further progress!”
"This is a rule set by God when he created man. Otherwise, we would not tirelessly pursue all kinds of treasures, just to make our bones even better."
"Although I don't want to admit it, this is the reality! Innate talent can make a person's spiritual path much easier and make better use of resources."
"The history of mankind is always created and led by geniuses, especially the history of our monks' cultivation of immortality, which was written by those highly talented sages through the efforts of generations!"
"The talent of my junior uncle is so high that Yan Yuan has only seen it in his life. If he can practice hard, he will definitely leave a mark in the history of our Confucian sect and even the entire history of immortality!" Yan Yuan looked at me and said, with eager expectations in his eyes.
.
"It is a pity that there are many mediocre people with average talents in power within the Confucian sect."
"In order to maintain their poor self-esteem and at the same time make themselves look extraordinary, these people are obsessed with suppressing all outstanding people."
"Otherwise, with the momentum our Confucian sect had back then, we might have unified the world long ago, and there would be no situation where the three religions coexist today." Yan Yuan said bitterly.
Although it is not clear what the real strength of the Taoist and Buddhist sects in this world is, it is not unreasonable that they have at least stood side by side with the Confucian sect for so many years.
So I don't completely believe what Yan Yuan said, I just think it's his wishful thinking.
If Confucianism has hidden worries, then who can guarantee that Taoism and Buddhism will not have internal troubles?
After all, as the old saying goes, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite!
"Where are those talented people in our Confucian sect?" I asked curiously.
"Most of those who were once astonishingly talented and beautiful disappeared during the Demon King's battle."
"When disaster strikes, outstanding people will always have the awareness to take responsibility, while mediocre people will more often only think of living in an ignoble existence."
"These short-sighted rats will never understand how they could have such a leisurely time and enjoy peace without the people they are jealous of working hard ahead without hesitation!"
"Uncle Master, if someone suddenly jumps out and tells you that this world belongs to everyone, how should this world be governed requires everyone to fully express their opinions and vote for the leaders and lifestyle of this world?
, what do you think?" Suddenly, Yan Yuan changed the topic and asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
"The person who said this must be crazy!" Although I didn't know what Yan Yuan's purpose was in asking this question, I still made it clear.
This kind of thing happens everywhere in the real world, and all countries or groups that truly believe in this seemingly fair governance method fall into collapse.
Because everyone's abilities are different, there is a gap in intelligence, their views on everything, and their ability to control the world are even more different.
If you really follow this seemingly fair method to rule the world, wouldn't you be putting your destiny in the hands of a fool?
After all, not everyone is a saint without desires!
As long as everyone's IQ is not at the same level, then this idea is definitely the most unforgivable!
And this is just a problem that exists in the real world in my memory.
But where are we in front of us? This is the world of cultivating immortals in our dreams!
There is no other world where the power of speech brought by power and absolute strength can be exerted to this extent.
Here, the power represented by invincible strength is already the ultimate, and it is the only law of survival that transcends all rules and orders!
So, after thinking about it, I added: "The person who proposed this idea and promoted it is neither stupid nor bad!"
Perhaps he didn't expect my answer to be so firm, so Yan Yuan stared at me for a long time in surprise.
It wasn't until a moment later that he looked up to the sky and sighed: "For such a simple question, even the junior uncle who heard it for the first time could figure out the truth, but how could those in high positions be so stupid!"
Yan Yuan's tone was filled with sadness and helplessness, and he said: "What my uncle said is neither stupid nor bad. It's so essential!"
After hearing his words and seeing his movements and expressions, I intuitively told me that there must be an extremely exciting story hidden behind this.
Sure enough, Yan Yuan went on to say: "Little Master Uncle, I don't know that after the Demon Emperor's battle, the top management of our Confucian sect suffered heavy losses."
"Because those top Confucian cultivators who truly care about the world, such as my master, have not been able to come back."
"As for what happened to them, no one cares. Everyone is staring at the power vacuum left after they leave."
"It's ironic! Those geniuses who really contributed during the war were the geniuses, but because they failed to return normally, it was the mediocre people who retreated behind the scenes who reaped the fruits of victory in the end." (To be continued)
