Chapter 9 Is this 'righteousness'?(1/2)

Jixia Academy is really a casual and casual place. This does not mean that the people here do not work hard. On the contrary, the teachers are very attentive in teaching and the students are also very serious.
The tone is casual and casual, creating a sense of relaxation from the inside out.
Everyone worked hard during class, and they were all laughing and joking before and after class.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s too closed, and it’s hard for outside pressure to come in. The people here are far different from the people in Linzi City, who are always in a hurry, and seem to be afraid of being late for anything they do.
After leaving Guitai, Jiang Wang went to take classes from the Shi family.
This teacher was teaching the Lotus Sutra, and he also gave a set of analysis of Buddhist Mahamudra. His lecture was not bad, but he had a bitter look on his face the whole time.
It is difficult to practice Buddhism in Qi without suffering.
Including Jiang Wang, there were only three people attending the lecture.
The other two are talents cultivated by the Academy since childhood, one male and one female, sitting in the corner.
I don't have a good face towards Jiang Wang who barged in rashly.
Jiang Wang ignored him and continued to listen to the lecture and frequently discussed it with his teacher.
This made the academy teacher, commonly known as Yan Chanyi, very excited. He had probably been talking to himself for too long and was reluctant to leave after class. He kept asking Jiang Wang if he would come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and there were hints in his words. More powerful Buddhist teachings.
The man and the woman were chatting in the corner the whole time, not paying any attention to their studies.
Jiang Wang was very doubtful whether they would be able to meet the academy's requirements when they started serving.
Qi Ting's efforts and resources to raise them were not in vain.
At that time, if you can't get into places like the Academy of Arts and the Beast Taming Workshop, you will have to go to the mining area or the beast's lair to do hard labor, or go to places like the Mysterious World and the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons to fill the number of people...
Of course, this is not something Jiang Wang needs to worry about. Everyone has their own choice.
The atmosphere in Jixia Academy is free, but the classes are actually very tight.
Each class lasts about two hours, basically from dawn to dusk, which is only three classes.
Of course, from Yin Shi to You Shi, there were always teachers teaching in the Academy, and there was more than one teacher teaching at the same time.
What classes to take and how many classes to take are the students’ own choice.
But no matter how hard you work, you can only attend up to four classes a day.
Xu Shi, Hai Shi, Zi Shi, Chou Shi, these four hours are the time left for students to practice or rest on their own.
There were no lessons that Jiang Wang wanted to learn between Yin Shi and Mao Shi today, so he went out after practicing by himself until Mao Shi.
After the Taoism class and the Buddhism class, his third class today was Confucianism.
The lecturer was none other than Lu Xiangqing.
Jiang Wang was dragged into a chat by Yan Chanyi for so long in the Buddhist class that he missed the start of class.
Even though I had to rush all the way to the "Zhengda Guangmingyuan" where the class was held, I was half a quarter of an hour late.
He hasn't felt this nervous about being late for a long time!
When I was in Cheng Daoyuan, I had to take care of An An's food and clothing every day, and take An An to her private school. She was almost never late.
The only time he missed class was before An An arrived at Maplewood City. One time, Jiang Wang was suppressed by Du Yehu and they drank Zhao Rucheng together. Linghe came out to stop the drink halfway, and Fang Pengju also came to help the big brother. As a result, five
Everyone was drunk... we missed class together, were forced to stand side by side outside the classroom, and were scolded by Xiao Tiemian.
Especially at this moment... Lu Xiangjiao is sternly lecturing the students. This scene is too reminiscent of old times.
"Wu Zhou, Wu Zhou, do you know what righteousness and profit are? How old do you dare to argue about righteousness and benefit? Do you dare to say that you have insight into human nature? You have been aloof for too long and don't know what firewood, rice, oil and salt are. You should really go to the fields.
Take a look, go live in the beast's den for a few days, and see how some people live!"
Jiang Wang stood helplessly at the entrance of the courtyard, wondering whether he should sneak in quietly or wait for Lu Xiangqing to finish his training and say hello first.
Lu Xiangqing scolded loudly, and his angry peripheral vision swept over and fell on the Marquis Wu An whom he had seen yesterday. He immediately relaxed: "Coming?
Find a place to sit by yourself."
Many students in the courtyard showed incredulous expressions and turned to look back, wondering if some prince or princess was here. How could Old Mo Lu be so lenient? The princes of the Qi family all attended Jixia Academy.
Of course, after meeting Jiang Wang, there was nothing to say.
The youngest military lord in the Da Qi Empire, his status is no worse than that of the prince!
In the Zhengda Guangming Courtyard, there are desks with books on them. The students are all sitting upright, and the Four Treasures of the Study are spread out on the desks.
The podium placed at the front is significantly taller.
In Confucian philosophy, the teacher-student relationship is a very important ethical relationship, and the hierarchy is also extremely strict.
Compared with the overcrowded Taoist classes and the sparse Buddhist classes, the Confucian classes here are much more normal and mediocre. Even Jiang Wang looked at himself, and there were less than twenty people in total.
People I know include Xie Baoshu, Bao Zhongqing, Wen Lianmu, Lin Xian and Gu Yan.
As soon as he saw Jiang Wang, Lin Xian silently pulled the chair next to him. Due to Lu Laomo's temper, he didn't dare to yell. After attending a few classes, he witnessed a few slaps on the palms of his hands. It was true.
Terrible.
Jiang Wang clasped his palms together, making an apologetic gesture, and walked towards Lin Xian.
Xie Baoshu happened to be sitting at the outermost position, but he didn't seem to notice his old neighbor at all. He lowered his head and was very serious.
Jiang Wang sat down, with Lin Xian on his right and Gu Yan behind him.
In the extremely hostile environment of Zhao State, Gu Yan's attitude of being dissatisfied with the Qi people was really rare.
It is said that Li Longchuan communicated with him privately in Xingyueyuan and gave him friendly persuasion.
In the previous Taoism class, he sat in a very corner, as if he was invisible the whole time. This time, he was sitting so close that he couldn't avoid it, so he managed a smile.
Jiang Wang didn't put on airs and responded with a smile.
Seeing Jiang Wang sit down, Lu Xiangqing glanced at the student who was already sweating on his forehead after being criticized by him, and snorted: "Sit down too."
Today he is a highly educated and highly Confucian man.
He turned a step on the podium and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Today we will say 'righteousness'!"
The "Book of Changes" has three parts, the so-called "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Zhouyi", which is the first of the group of scriptures.
Both Confucianism and Taoism study the Book of Changes, but of course their interpretations are different.
What Lu Xiangqing is talking about today is "Yuan Henry Zhen", which means "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman constantly strives for self-improvement."
The main topic is the word "profit", which means "everyone has his or her own destiny" and "everything has its own kind". It talks about the proper value and harvest of everything.
The student named Wu Zhou, who had been studying in the academy since he was a child, jumped out and said that a gentleman is not good at what is beneficial. As a result, he was scolded by Lu Xiangqing.
Either a scolding was not enough and the explanation was not fully explained. Or maybe it was to tell Marquis Wu An something interesting to show off his ability as a regular teacher at Jixia Academy...
In short, Lu Xiangqing changed the topic and suddenly talked about "righteousness".
All the people present were listening carefully.
"As we all know, the Confucian path is generally taken from the six words "propriety, righteousness, faith, virtue, benevolence, and killing". In addition, there are also words such as "honesty, shame,
"Filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty", but in the end it is not so mainstream..."
He started with the four words "Tao", and then suddenly asked a question:
"What is righteousness?"
His stern eyes fell. At this moment, he was solemn and inviolable. It seemed that the majesty of the teacher was fully realized and condensed into substantial pressure.
No one in the audience answered.
This proposition is so grand that many sages have spent their entire lives trying to explain it. Who can explain it in just a few words?
The Starlight Holy Tower is the foundation for describing the Tao, and Shen Er Mingzhi is the elaboration of the Tao. Only those who can truly implement their own path can truly "come to the world like gods"!
The cultivation of Shenlinjing itself is the principle that Lu Xiangqing wants to explain.
At this moment, his God is his “righteousness”!
People who do not have enough realm are not qualified to explain.
But after Lu Xiangqing's eyes wandered for a while, he did not give a direct answer, but leisurely said: "The sages divided the history before the modern world into four major eras: ancient times, ancient times, medieval times, and modern times. A long time.
, Eternal current in the world... What do you all here know about the ancient times?"
Xie Baoshu stopped burying his head now and replied loudly: "That was the longest era and also the darkest era."
To be continued...
