Three hundred and forty-five years of the Zhou Dynasty.
The mortal Liu Wenjian broke through the realm of the Emperor of Heaven, and an unrivaled emperor suppressed the world. This was the Shushan era.
In less than ten years, sword immortals gradually appeared in the world, flying in the clouds and mist, turning into streams of light, slaying demons, saving local plagues, killing evil spirits, and killing zombies.
Three hundred and fifty-one years of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was completely prosperous, and the Dragon Vein System was sound. It gathered all the efforts to cultivate Confucianism and Taoism. All the great Confucian scholars and literati wrote poems and articles, which became popular articles. The wider the scope of the praise, the greater the power of the gathered thoughts.
This is a dynasty that is astonishingly rich in culture and spirit.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were many imperial examinations, which placed great emphasis on literature over martial arts, and took the exams as a prestige. Gradually, there were hundreds of schools of thought, various universities said that their disciples were Confucian scholars, and hundreds of flowers bloomed.
Confucian and Taoist masters, their writings can shock the heaven and the earth, cause thunder and storms, hold official positions, and have great righteousness. When they drink in the hall, they can angrily denounce ghosts and gods!
At the beginning of March, Wang An, the contemporary imperial champion, sailed on the Taojiang River in high spirits, recited poems with his friends, and composed a poem "The Story of Peach Blossoms" while half drunk.
In it, Taoyuan Township is described, which is uncontested by the world and makes people yearn for it. It has been praised all over the country and is known to countless people, prayed and recited.
As the days passed, not only did Wang An's cultivation improve with each passing day, but also the visions of heaven and earth gradually condensed in the mansion, converging into a hazy Taoyuan wonderland. There were villages in the gaps between the mountains and rivers, and lifelike people were farming and grazing.
.
"The power of the will of all living beings came through the dragon's veins, and the illusory world in the book was condensed in the mansion of the great Confucian who created this poem handed down from generation to generation?"
"Incredible! This is I think, therefore I am?!"
The capital is boiling.
All the literati and poets in the world were horrified.
After hearing the news, a famous and talented scholar came to Wang An's mansion and entered the Taoyuan world one after another. They found that it seemed like real people and could communicate with each other, just like the characters of the people in Taoyuan Village in the real book.
They don't even know they are dummies!
By writing stunning articles that will be passed down from generation to generation, and by praying for the livelihood of the people, can you bring together the world in your own book?
The mystery of Confucianism and Taoism is simply beyond everyone’s imagination!
Hundreds of schools of Confucianism and Taoism have never been so proud. Although they have risen before, they are still lagging behind the Sword Immortal lineage and the Martial Arts lineage. But now that they have seen this strange phenomenon with their own eyes, they feel an indescribable complex pride in their hearts.
Madness pours out.
A disciple came to ask for advice.
Wang An likes to drink. He usually spends most of his time half-drunk. He laughed and said: "A book is a world, a tree is a floating life."
He said nothing more.
The disciple seemed to have an epiphany, and said calmly to the disciples around him: "Some things do not exist. If there are more people in the world who believe in them, they will exist."
It was too mysterious, so everyone pondered hard and gradually started to think about it.
All living beings believe that what is true is false and true?
This is the beauty of the way of incense for all living beings.
"It's rare that the pen and ink are accurate!"
Some people spoke in admiration.
The Zhou Dynasty was at its peak, cultivating Confucianism and Taoism, establishing the Dragon Lineage, establishing official positions, and cultivating the incense of all living beings. This lineage has infinite possibilities!
The next day, when the Prime Minister Hu Rennong heard this interesting story in his mansion, he also told the world: "Some people will die, but if there are more people who miss them, they will live in the hearts of others. This is the ultimate conclusion of Confucianism and Taoism."
The road is immortal and will last forever. I think, therefore I am.”
This statement is too esoteric, metaphysical, and idealistic.
The world's literati and poets continued to study and understand, and they seemed to have some epiphanies, and their opinions gradually spread.
"One book, one world."
It is Confucianism and Taoism cultivated to an extremely advanced level.
Writing stunning and beautiful articles will gather the thoughts and wishes of all sentient beings to form the world in the book under your own pen and ink.
Perhaps, this is the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, where we can defeat the enemy!
But it is not easy to form, and a world that is too powerful requires too much willpower. Only the ordinary villages in "Taoyuan" can easily gather and condense.
"I think, therefore I am."
On top of this, it is the ultimate form of Confucianism and Taoism.
The gathering of thoughts of all sentient beings can form the characters in the book, so after your death, it will be like the characters in the book, engraved in the hearts of all sentient beings, and come back because of the thoughts of all sentient beings?
In this way, you can achieve true immortality!
The stronger one's own state of cultivation is, the more will power is needed to gather. "No thought, therefore I am" belongs to the pinnacle and ultimate level of the literati, the supreme glory!
A realm that is beyond the reach of thousands of literati.
There are probably very few people in the world who can reach this level.
The literary, sage and Confucian gods in the history of the dynasty had great merits, great talents, and opened up the era. Only then will they be mourned by all living beings and be immortalized. Only then will they be reborn and enter the ultimate realm of immortality!
"The way of Confucianism is based on the thoughts of the people. Without the people, there would be no Confucianism!"
As long as the people continue to live and the dynasty is immortal, the power of gathering thoughts and wishes will not be cut off, and the saints who belong to that dynasty will remain immortal and return as heroic spirits.
During an exchange at the Imperial College, one of the students was impressed, but hesitant and puzzled, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you have deduced to such an extreme state more than ten years ago. It is admirable, but this person is already dead."
, the self that gathers all living beings like a corpse in the cemetery is like a small heaven standing above the dynasty. Even if the memory, thinking, and talents are all self, how can it be proved that it is the real self? Rather than another self that looks like me?
"
This is a problem that troubles countless people.
I am already dead. Even if I have my own character and talents, is that me who is the one with all the will and power of all sentient beings gathered together? Is that really me?
It's scary to think about it.
Hu Rennong smiled and asked: "You want to ask: How to prove that I am me? What is your own opinion? Am I the real me or the false self who believes that 'I think, therefore I am'?"
The disciple hesitated, with a look of struggle on his face. Regardless of whether it was true or false, various schools of thought seemed to have reasons and supporting evidence.
"Please, Prime Minister, please name the Confucian scholars in the world who have gone astray." Many disciples spoke up.
Hu Rennong stood at a high place and spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, vibrating in his heart.
“If you believe it’s me, it’s me, if you don’t believe it’s me, it’s not me!”
"It depends on the will of all sentient beings, and it also depends on yourself." He spoke calmly and spoke eloquently. Countless people suddenly realized it, and their minds were hit by the stormy waves.
When all sentient beings gather their willpower and believe that they are the true self, are they the true self?
If all sentient beings don’t believe that I am not my true self, then I am not my true self?
Depends on the people?
Decide with your heart?
Reality is not reality, but reality is influenced by the heart?
Countless people are shocked!
In the end, Hu Rennong quoted Wang An's words, "Some things did not exist at the beginning, but they existed when more people believed in them in the world."
A disciple slowly stood up and asked again: "In that case, Prime Minister, do you think that your achievements in this world are only that after your death, you will enter the ultimate Confucianism and Taoism of 'I think, therefore I am'?"
This question was a bit critical, as if it was deliberately targeted.
But Hu Rennong just smiled and said: "I don't think so, but all living beings think so."
This white-haired old man put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly: "After I die, I will be buried in heaven and earth, and a monument without words will be erected. All the right and wrong during my lifetime are because I was biased and unfair when I was alive.
, I’ll leave it to future generations to comment on.”
His voice was calm, like a torrent of thunder, and the expressions of countless people all changed drastically. Over the past few years, Hu Rennong, the prime minister of the current dynasty, has entered an unimaginable state in the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, thinking about who I am, whether I am true or false!
Hu Rennong continued:
"If all sentient beings truly recognize me, they will naturally come to life. If no one thinks about me, I will not exist."
"What is death? When people forget it in history, it is real death."
The entire capital was completely shaken.
Another day, Prime Minister Hu Rennong went to court and reported to His Majesty, saying that Wang An was a great talent that was astonishing in the world. He could establish a "Guozi School" and appointed Wang An as the Guozi to offer wine. With the help of "The Story of Taoyuan", Wang An instantly became an important official in the imperial court.
At this point, Confucianism and Taoism have been completely perfected!
On this day, Hu Rennong was giving a lecture to the disciples of the imperial court. Some people couldn't help but ask: "The peasants and peasant women in The Peach Blossom Spring are like real people, but they have no idea that they are characters in the book. They are just illusions. So what can we do to prove that we are not in another place?"
A fictional character living in a book?”
Hu Rennong had never encountered a difficult problem, but he hesitated at this time.
He hesitated for a long time, then suddenly held an ink-colored book in his hand and looked out the window at the pale sky inexplicably, "How to prove that we are not playthings created by other living beings? I don't know, maybe, our life is an illusion, and our thousands of years and civilization are nothing but
Other creatures occasionally appear one night, just characters in dreams."
This white-haired old man finally understood his thoughts and burst into laughter in vain, "There is no joy in gaining and no worries in losing. Seeing glory is as fast as the blink of an eye, and even faster than a dream in life!!"
boom!!
As soon as these words fell, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
The wind is surging.
The color of heaven and earth changes.
It seems that there are vast dragon veins gathering together, and the roaring golden dragon of national destiny rises straight into the sky, and the fairy gate opens wide.
On this day he preached, the capital was shaken, and the whole world believed in him. During this period, talk was like a tide, and faith was like a rushing river, coming from the dragon's veins.
Hu Rennong's reputation became even greater, and he finally entered the realm of the Emperor of Heaven!
