When Shi Yu was not practicing swordsmanship, he would consult with Li Xiao, a friend who loved reading, about Confucian knowledge.
Confucianism is the undisputed rule-setter in Dongzhou, and it also occupies a pivotal position in the entire world. It was once the undisputed number one among hundreds of scholars.
However, a thousand years ago, there was a master of Confucianism who deviated from the classics and established the so-called Confucian doctrine, which divided Confucian saints, wise men, and gentlemen into three, six or nine grades. He also regarded assisting the human kingdom as the first priority, and he was very close to Legalism.
trend.
As a result, the famous "battle between two schools" of Confucianism began. Although they finally reconciled and merged into one, it also caused great damage to the vitality of Confucianism.
On the other hand, among the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism has a tendency to become more and more prosperous. The Longhushan Taoism of Yuezhou in Central Tai, the Kongtongshan Taoism of Dahuangzhou in the northwest, and the Wudangshan Taoism of Dongsheng Shenzhou. Among the three Taoist traditions, Longhushan and Kongtong
There is a person who is in the realm of overcoming tribulation in the mountains. Although the leader of Wudang Mountain is not in the realm of overcoming tribulation, he is only one step away.
Moreover, the Taoist Longhu Mountain lineage is now a veritable leader in the Taiyue Continent. And the Taiyue Continent is in the middle, the largest continent in the world, and plays a decisive role.
Therefore, today's Confucianism ranks second to Taoism.
On the contrary, the Buddhism embodies the indifference to the world. In front of the "Ten Thousand Year Old Third", it only takes the two neighboring continents, Niuhezhou in the west and Rosazhou in the southwest, which has a strong Buddhist atmosphere, leaving a piece of land for Buddhism.
The Pure Land is known to the world as "Western Bliss".
The current Confucianism occupies Dongsheng Shenzhou, a continent with only one ancestor from the Tribulation Realm. In addition, the Three Palaces and Jinglu Academy, the first of the five courtyards, have Mahayana realm sages in charge.
Of course, Confucianism is not limited to the three palaces and five courtyards.
There are countless academies in the world. Those who can be selected into the three palaces and five academies will not only have outstanding disciples, but also make great contributions to the people. After submitting the charter, they will be reviewed and stamped by the sage one by one, and finally it will be decided by the saint.
Yiyun mentioned that he was going to Luzhou, Beiju, and would lead a group of disciples to open an academy. Naturally, it would not be among the five academies, so the title of gentleman still had to be worn on his head.
Although today's Confucianism originated from the same stream, the masters of Sangongshan also have their own opinions and are divided into three streams. Each has its own small tributary within the Confucian University Theory.
Yiyun naturally belongs to the lineage of Mr. Yushan Xuegong.
The three points of admiration include caring for people, running a family, and building a country. Being a person is based on "benevolence". Human nature is inherently good, and those who do evil in the future should be educated. Therefore, students of this lineage are also the most reasonable lineage at the moment.
"Take the small to make the big" is the theory of running a family, "small" is the small family, and "big" is the big one. The big has the meaning of "giving up the small to make the big", which naturally leads to the theory of governing the country.
Governing a country is still based on "benevolence" and takes the people of the world as its own responsibility. The first thing in governing a country is to serve the people. If the people's livelihood is good, the country will prosper, and if the people suffer, the country will decline.
The most representative of this line of governance theory is Daxia.
The person who assisted the emperor in running the country in Daxia was a fellow disciple of the master of the Yushan Academy. He served as prime minister in this human country. He was also the only king with a different surname entrusted to him by the emperor of Daxia who had a higher ambition than heaven.
In fact, Daxia's current prosperity is all due to the famous Prime Minister.
Otherwise, the pedantic Liu family of Daxia would have long faced the embarrassing situation of ruining the country and destroying the people.
Speaking of this Prime Minister, Yiyun respected him from the bottom of his heart, but also sneered a little.
"I wonder if my husband's senior brother regrets assisting the Liu family of Daxia now."
Yiyun never called him Uncle Master, just because the elder had always been at odds with his husband. His husband insisted on promoting Confucianism as his own duty, but the elder preferred to use a continent as a chessboard.
The human kingdom is a chess piece, playing with the general trend of a continent in the palm of your hand.
Yiyun's uncle, who was never called his uncle, had very good chess skills, but unfortunately his vision was not high. And vision is not a reflection of chess skills? Taking the Liu family of Daxia Kingdom as a crucial piece was really a step forward.
The stinky chess piece cannot stink any more.
When Yiyun and Shi Yu talked about these things, they didn't hide anything.
Everything is known to the world, there is nothing to hide.
Shi Yu had never been exposed to these things before and was particularly fascinated by what he heard.
"Confucianism has too many merits. Of course, there are also those who are good at playing cards. Not all of them are gentlemen. There are also many villains. And the most deadly ones are those who are scholars and schemers. They belong to that kind of... quietly
Mimi's will cost your life."
This is Yiyun's final conclusion, and it is also a warning to Shi Yu, a junior.
Don't think that all Confucians like me are easy to talk to, and there are many people who can scheme against others, especially those who are not bad at chess.
After getting along with this scholar for a long time and chatting a lot, Shi Yu had a great impression of this Confucian gentleman.
It also adds a bit of bookishness.
This is all the result of this Confucian gentleman.
Li Xiao spent most of his time practicing swordplay alone. This scholar was boring, but he spent most of his time with Shi Yu, instilling many Confucian rules in his chat.
I have been influenced by my ears and my eyes, and now I can be regarded as half a scholar.
In Duanhun Cliff, except for going to the town at the foot of the mountain once every three days, I only did three things most of the time. One was to practice boxing and swordsmanship under the waterfall, the other was to rest in the thatched cottage, and the third was to chat with scholars.
In the boring mode of three points and one line, Shi Yu occasionally feels bored, but never feels lonely. For a young man who has been used to being alone since childhood, loneliness is no longer an unbearable thing. The most difficult time is
When it was difficult to survive, and now that Yiyun was with her to talk to, he was already content.
From then on, it was the same routine as today.
…
After a while, it was time to go down the mountain to drink.
This time Li Xiao came to Shi Yu's thatched cottage and handed him the wine bag. His intention was very obvious, just to let him drink an extra bottle of wine this time.
Shi Yu hung the wine bag and gourd around his waist and went down the mountain.
The town has not changed much from the last time I came here, and the business of the wine shop is still tepid.
Regarding the wine shop, there is actually one thing worth mentioning, and that is the name of the wine shop.
Looking at the ordinary wine shop, there is a name with a very good meaning, "the wine is missing".
It has the feeling of meeting again after a long separation, or not seeing each other for a long time.
Shi Yu felt that it must not have been taken by someone from the wine shop. The rich and powerful shopkeeper did not have such bookishness.
The name of this wine shop is also good, fortunately it is honest enough.
For Shi Yu, the wine in the wine shop is really "not cheap".
One kilogram of the signature peach blossom brew will cost you two taels of silver.
There were very few customers in the store today. The waiter was lying on the table and taking a nap, and the shopkeeper was also there.
"Waiter, get a drink."
Shi Yu was still sitting by the window.
The waiter responded to the call and ran away immediately. He smiled and said, "Sir, you are here."
The shopkeeper also looked over when he heard this. When he saw that it was Shi Yu, he stopped the waiter who was about to get a drink. He personally took two bowls from the table, picked up a pot of wine, and walked over with a smile.
He quickly placed the two bowls on the table, opened the mud seal, poured a bowl of wine into each, pushed one bowl to Shi Yu, took the other bowl in his hand, and sat down opposite Shi Yu.
Before Shi Yu could speak, the shopkeeper took the lead and said, "I'll treat you to the wine today, sir."
Shi Yu shook his head and said, "No reward for no merit."
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Just respect Mr. Sir."
Shi Yu smiled and said: "Respect is out of the question, but making friends is."
The shopkeeper laughed loudly and said, "That's just like making friends."
Shi Yu nodded and raised his bowl with a smile. Shopkeeper Liu also responded, and they each drank a bowl of wine.
"The name of your wine shop is very good. Did you choose it?" Shi Yu looked at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "How can I? My brain is rusty. At first, I named it 'Old Liu Liquor Shop', 'Liu Ji Liquor Shop' and so on. Later I asked for advice.
That gentleman from the school got the name ‘The Wine Missing’.”
"The gentleman at the school is knowledgeable." Shi Yu nodded, feeling a little yearning for the school in the small town.
"Sir, you are also knowledgeable," the shopkeeper said sincerely.
Shi Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I only have a few stories about ghosts and gods in my head, and I don't even know the teachings of sages. Where did the knowledge come from?"
"Sir, you are too modest."
Having said this, Shi Yu really wanted to visit the school teacher. He was called 'sir' by the people in the town, but he was not even a Confucian student, which was somewhat unreasonable. If he had the chance to visit that school teacher
Sir, if you read some books by sages, you will feel more at ease when others call you sir.
When Shi Yu was at Nine Swordsmen, he had studied. At that time, he only had one friend, and the friend who was a handyman was quite busy, so in addition to practicing swordsmanship, he usually studied.
"Sir, do you still want to read a book later?" The waiter came up and asked a lot of questions. He just wanted to have a word with this gentleman. He really liked to hear his stories.
Shi Yu nodded and asked with a smile: "Are you going?"
The waiter glanced at the shopkeeper, looked embarrassed, and said helplessly: "I can't go, I still have to look at the store."
Shi Yu just nodded and said nothing.
But the shopkeeper said: "Xiao Wang, you can go and listen to Mr. Storytelling today."
The waiter was pleasantly surprised. He looked at the shopkeeper, but frowned slightly and said, "I went there and no one was looking at the shop."
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said: "I won't go today, I will stay to look after the store."
The waiter looked happy.
Shopkeeper Liu then gave another reminder: "Remember to help Mr. get wine on the way."
"I know."
The waiter smiled broadly.
Shi Yu put the wine bag and jug around his waist on the table and said, "Two jugs this time."
The waiter grabbed the wine bag and flask and went to get some wine happily.
After drinking, Shi Yu and the waiter left the wine shop one after another.
After drinking a bowl of wine for nothing, the young man who didn't have much ink in his belly still sent a poem:
The face is like a pool, the water is clearer, and I don’t realize that I have wasted half my life.
In the spring, there are no shops in the peach grove, and when new people come to sit down, they are famous for their wine.
There are poems, but no titles.
Walking on the street, the waiter said something to Shi Yu.
"Our shopkeeper actually wants your husband to move the storytelling area to our shop, but he has never been embarrassed to ask. Does he think it can be moved here?"
Shi Yu only answered in one word: "Yes."
After pondering for a moment, he added: "But I need the shopkeeper to tell me personally."
"Okay." The waiter grinned. This chapter has been completed!
