The door opened, and Chen Gong still looked the same, but he seemed to have an extraterrestrial feeling, which seemed a little weird in Chu Nan's eyes. There was a mini version of Chen Gong standing above Chen Gong, with one hand behind his back. , the other hand is holding a bamboo slip, without spirit and a bit dull.
"Thank you Zi Yan. The reason why Gong became enlightened today is all thanks to Zi Yan's words to wake him up." Chen Gong ignored the others, but came to Chu Nan and bowed deeply to Chu Nan.
"Sir, what are you doing!?" Chu Nan quickly stood up and stepped aside to avoid the salute. As a result, the salute was aimed at Gao Shun, who was opposite Chu Nan.
Chen Gong: "..."
Gao Shun picked up the water bowl and took a light sip without moving away.
Well……
The air suddenly became awkward. Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong and then at Gao Shun. The mind-reading power came online. Although the insight talent was only advanced for one day, Chu Nan also found some uses. For example, the mind-reading ability can be used. It is controlled, you can listen if you want to hear, and you can't listen if you don't want to hear. And unlike actively looking at other people's insights, this magical power... others cannot detect.
Although they looked frightened at this moment, the soul of gossip was burning in their hearts. What kind of psychological activities would these two uncooperative people have when facing this embarrassing scene?
Chen Gong stood up with a normal expression, thinking in his heart: "How dare you accept such a great gift from me? You are not a son of a man."
Gao Shun put down the water bowl as if nothing had happened, and looked calmly outside the pavilion: "Well, I deserve this gift, even if he makes amends with me."
"It's as if nothing has happened. How shameless!"
"Why does he keep looking at me? He wants me to take it back, but there's no way he can even think about it."
Zhang Liao: "The atmosphere is a bit awkward. Do you want me to say something to ease the atmosphere?"
Lu Lingqi: "What happened? Why do you suddenly feel uncomfortable?"
Chu Nan watched with relish. It seemed that the great Confucian was not as unworldly as he seemed, and General Gao was serious on the surface, but on the inside... tsk tsk~ People should not be judged by their appearance.
After a brief silence, Chen Gong Surong looked at Chu Nan: "Gong has been immersed in the scriptures for many years, but he has never realized the true meaning of Confucianism. Zi Yan's words are better than my ten years of hard study. Such a great favor, Zi Yan deserves to be the next gift." .”
Zhang Liao: "Does this kid still have this kind of ability? Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance. How can Zi Yan, with his mediocre talent, still have such understanding and insight?"
Lu Lingqi: "It seems that I have a good vision. Maybe this is fate."
Chu Nan looked back at Zhang Liao and Lu Lingqi in shock.
Zhang Liao (Lu Lingqi): "Why are you looking at me suddenly?"
"This is what I feel, sir. I have something that I don't understand, and I hope you can clarify it." Chu Nan turned his head silently, ignored the two of them, and said to Chen Gong, cupping his fists.
"It's okay to say it, Zi Yan. With Zi Yan's talent, he will definitely shine in Confucianism and Taoism. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me." Chen Gong said with a smile.
"Although this son seems to have mediocre qualifications, I didn't expect him to be so enlightened. I have the opportunity to become a great Confucian because of his favor. I need to repay this favor in a lifetime. It would be best if you can worship me as your teacher."
For some reason, Chu Nan saw that everyone was being shameless when he heard this, so he coughed lightly and said, "Sir, is it because of his talent that you can break through the Great Confucianism?"
"Exactly." Chen Gong nodded.
"Then why don't you feel anything?" Chu Nan felt a little unfair. It was clearly what he said, but why was Chen Gong the one who achieved the result? Did he cheat?
"Ziyan has not yet practiced Confucianism." Chen Gong said with a smile: "Confucianism cultivates one's moral character, cultivates one's nature, and has a noble spirit. When the opportunity comes, one can achieve enlightenment only by clearly understanding one's own responsibilities. Although Ziyan's words are precious, but Gong Ruo
Without these decades of Confucianism and Taoism practice, I would not have been enlightened in one day."
"This man is a little too ambitious. Although his good words are good, there are many people in the world who are full of knowledge. How many great scholars are there? Young people don't know how high the sky is. Alas, that's all. After all, he is the one who led me to enlightenment. He is good at teaching. I will never taste it in the future.
You cannot become a generation of sages."
In other words, Confucianism and Taoism still need to be cultivated. Chu Nan nodded silently, then his expression suddenly changed, but this time he did not look back.
Zhang Liao: "I don't know how well Ziyan's military training is going. It seems I need to communicate with him a lot. I don't know, one day I will become a military sage."
Gao Shun: "I'm not really close to him, but seeing as how much he admires me, why don't I accept him as a disciple? But what should I teach him? Let him join the camp and understand the art of war? That's it.
Let’s do it like this, I’ll invite him to join the camp tomorrow and practice hard for a few months first. I just feel sorry for Lingqi, but it doesn’t matter, Lingqi is very sensible and can understand my painstaking efforts.”
Lu Lingqi: "How can your husband be so capable? I wonder if he is willing to practice martial arts?"
Chu Nan suddenly felt that the eyes of the three people behind him were as if they were real. Their expressions were a little stiff, and they silently blocked their mind-reading abilities. Sure enough, sometimes knowing too much makes you unhappy.
"I see." After Chu Nan blocked his inner voice, he suddenly felt much more relaxed and said with a smile, "In other words, sir, you have actually reached the limit of being a great scholar."
"It's not the limit. It's just the four words Zi Yan said that can be said to have set the future direction of our Confucianism. Although Gong is conceited and has some talents, there are many people in this world who are more intelligent than Gong, not to mention those who are far away.
, that is, Chen Deng of the Chen family, whose talents are above the palace. However, the cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism is not all about talents. From the establishment of Confucianism and Taoism to the present, countless predecessors are seeking ways to govern the world. Where should our Confucianism go?
Our ancestors have been diligently exploring this path, and even today, although Ziyan is not a Confucianist or a Taoist, he has given us a clear direction."
"Then..." Chu Nan suddenly asked: "If other Confucian scholars can also hear this and become great Confucians?"
Chen Gong smiled and shook his head: "You still need to be in tune with yourself. The great Confucians of our ancestors all had the opportunity to become great Confucians, and they were not stingy. They spread the word to the world. If you can become a great Confucian with just one sentence, then the world will already be full of great Confucians."
Chen Gong is not the first great Confucian. Every great Confucian has his own philosophy of governing the world, and these ideas are also passed down to later generations. However, how many people have become great Confucians with these words?
The reason why Chen Gong was able to break through the great Confucianism was that, in addition to these four sentences being indeed the essence of Confucianism, there were two more important factors. First, Chen Gong had practiced so much that his intelligence might not be comparable to those of top counselors.
But knowledge, life experience, etc. have reached the critical point. This is not just him. In fact, in terms of Confucianism and Taoism practice alone, there are many who have reached the critical point like Chen Gong; secondly, this sentence has never been
It had appeared before, and when I heard it for the first time, I had a great impact. In addition, this sentence may be in line with what Chen Gong was pursuing and resonated with some of his ideas, which gave Chen Gong an epiphany.
"That's right." Chu Nan nodded, looking at Chen Gong and asking the question he was most concerned about with some expectancy: "Sir, I wonder if a great scholar has any magical powers?"
Chen Gong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Zi Yan is currently at home in Xiapi!"
"?" Chu Nan wanted to ask in confusion, but suddenly found that his eyes were blurry. When he looked again, the voices of Chen Gong, Gao Shun and others were gone. Looking around, he saw Lu Yi, who was eating cakes, dumbfounded.
looking at himself.
Really back home?
Chu Nan was startled, and the next moment, Chen Gong's voice came to his ears: "Zi Yan is here."
Then his eyes blurred again, and he returned to Xiaopei. Lu Yi in the yard rubbed his eyes fiercely, and then his face turned pale, followed by a scream that resounded throughout the mansion~
In the Xiaopei Yamen Office, Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong in astonishment: "Sir, this magical power..."
Confucianism can actually teleport? This must be learned.
"It's not a magical power. Confucianism says that the Dharma will follow, but it also needs to withstand the backlash of the Dharma. An ordinary Confucian scholar can only send people twenty or thirty miles away at most. If there is no breakthrough for a great Confucian, the awe-inspiring energy in his chest will not stop, and at most he will be able to send people away.
Zi Yan was sent fifty miles away and cannot be used again within a day, let alone bring Zi Yan back." Chen Gong said with a smile.
"Then what would happen if there was no Haoran Zhengqi to forcefully perform this method?" Chu Nan asked.
"If you don't practice Confucianism, how can you use Confucian magical powers?" Chen Gong shook his head, there is no such possibility.
When Confucianism and literature disrupt the law, it is not just the laws of the world that are disrupted. If you cultivate to a high and profound level, you can even change the laws of heaven and earth.
"Sir, if it is daytime at this time, will the sun and moon be reversed?" Chu Nan asked curiously.
Chen Gong's face darkened, he shook his head and said: "I don't know whether the sun and the moon are upside down, but if I really say this with words, I'm afraid Gong will be wiped out. What he just did, in the final analysis, only changed the fate of Zi Yan.
, and it’s a small change, but if the sun and moon are really turned upside down, it will change the lives of all living beings in the world. Even if it is just a small change, the backlash will be enough to make me disappear completely.”
How powerful the spoken magic power is depends on the level of cultivation of the user.
"Then what will happen if the Confucians do not practice enough and forcefully use it?" Chu Nan asked again.
"If this is true, it depends on how strong the backlash is. It usually results in loss of life span." Chen Gong sighed.
"Yes, I heard that Lu Shuai used this method back then, which damaged his foundation. He became seriously ill after he came back, and he never recovered until his death." Zhang Liao sighed.
Although the Confucian method is powerful, if you don't practice enough, you can easily kill yourself.
"Would Ziyan be willing to practice Confucianism?" Chen Gong stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Even without listening to his heart, Chu Nan knew that Chen Gong wanted to recruit a disciple.
"Dare you ask me, sir, to teach me!" Chu Nan said quickly, "I would like to become my teacher, sir."
Chen Gong nodded and was about to say something when Gao Shun suddenly said: "I heard from Wen Yuan that the young master has mastered the Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army?"
Chu Nan nodded: "Yes, a small success."
"I think the young master is also very talented in military science. How about not being a fellow practitioner?" Gao Shun thought about it and said, "If the young master is willing, he can come to join the camp. The general will be willing to give him all his money."
Chu Nan was about to say something, but Chen Gong said calmly: "General, he should be in the camp at this time."
The next moment, Gao Shun disappeared.
The Great Confucian is so terrifying.
Zhang Liao coughed lightly, stood up and said: "It's getting late, it's time for the general to say goodbye."
"Wenyuan, walk slowly." Chen Gong nodded.
After Zhang Liao got up and left, Chen Gong said: "Tomorrow, you and I will go back to Xiapi. We must not be hasty about the apprenticeship. We must go to Xiapi, report to the Lord, and then invite friends to watch the ceremony."
Becoming a disciple is not a trivial matter. Confucianism attaches great importance to etiquette. Naturally, Cao Cao cannot be a disciple like this. Chen Gong wants to teach Chu Nan as a direct disciple. It is not as simple as accepting a disciple casually.
"Okay." Chu Nan nodded.
"It's night, let's go back and rest. We'll be on our way tomorrow morning." Chen Gong got up and went back to rest.
"Teacher, please be patient." Chu Nan stood up, looked at Lu Lingqi and said, "Madam, please go back to your room first. My husband and the teacher have some private matters to discuss."
Lu Lingqi didn't quite understand, so she nodded and went back first.
"Teacher, can you cast a spell on me so that Lingqi's flames can't hurt me tonight?" Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong and asked in a low voice.
Chen Gong glanced at Chu Nan strangely. Chu Nan didn't listen and said with an upright face.
"Zi Yan can't be hurt by any fire tonight!" Chen Gong said, turned around and left.
Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and then strode straight back to the room. That night, the room of Chu Nan and Lu Lingqi was lit up with fire from time to time, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. It lasted until the next morning, when the fire gradually disappeared...
