Chapter 374 Books and rituals in the east, blood and fire in the west
I saw that the Jixia Academy was abuzz with people, and hundreds of families gathered together. The time for debate was approaching, but I had not returned yet.
Fengdu had no choice but to lead Xu Xing, Bian Que, and a group of students from Taishan Academy towards Linzi.
After many years of development, Taishan Academy has had many students come and go.
In addition, because the Academy Master had not shown up for a long time, the number of students recruited by the Academy was gradually decreasing. Fortunately, the human race was very persistent in studying, and when Fengdu came to Taishan Academy, there were still dozens of students.
After Fengdu reorganized the academy and appeased people, he waited in the academy for his return. He didn't expect to wait for a long time.
Seeing that the contention of a hundred schools of thought was imminent, and there was still no trace of this deity, Fengdu had no choice but to take on the important task of witnessing this period of history.
People were walking all the way to Linzi's official road. There were huge crowds of people and busy traffic. dignitaries and ordinary people rode in cars and horses, just like a pilgrimage.
There are scholars who go to Linzijixia Academy to give lectures; there are students who come to listen to the lectures with the intention of achieving success; there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries who want to find great sages for the country; and there are also many idlers who hear the news and come here to take advantage of the excitement.
Before entering Linzi City, Fengdu felt that it was a paradise on earth that was very different from usual and bustling with activity.
There are flute players and entertainers, gongs and monkeys, people selling unfamiliar melons and fruits, and cattle and horses.
There are all kinds of things in the world, and it is very lively.
The Immortal Path was cold and cold, and this was the first time that Fengdu felt the aura of fireworks in the human world. Not to mention the hundreds of years since his birth, he only focused on cultivation and had nothing else in mind.
Even his true self, Yang Tuo, has never seen such a lively scene since time travel. Its prosperity also confirms the rise of the human race.
Regardless of whether it is Chaoge or Xiqi, although the people are numerous, there is no such prosperous scene, and there is a faint scene of a prosperous age.
Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Fengdu couldn't help but feel a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart, rejoicing at the rise of the human race.
After a hundred schools of thought contended, the theories of a hundred schools of thought became popular all over the world, and the rise of the human race became unstoppable.
Fengdu led everyone around Linzi City for a long time, allowing everyone who had been born for a long time to feel the atmosphere of this mortal world again.
Although those who cultivate immortality and enlightenment are far away from the mortal world and are not bound by the human world, they are free between heaven and earth. However, to be born in the world, you must first enter the world. If you don't understand the various conditions of the mortal world, how can you transcend it.
It was getting late, and Feng Du took a group of people to stay in Jixia Academy.
Yang Tuo's historians will not participate in this debate, but will only serve as bystanders to witness and record this glorious history.
However, Xu Xing's farmers and Bian Que's doctors needed to prove themselves at the conference and face hundreds of questions.
After everyone settled in Jixia Academy, Xu Xing and Bian Que prepared every day to integrate their own thoughts and respond to other people's inquiries.
The rest of the disciples were scattered in all directions, witnessing all kinds of strange theories and arguments. Some talked about the world, some talked about the earth, some talked about the past, some talked about the present. Countless thoughts met and collided here.
They complement each other and perfect each other. Sparks of wisdom sublimate and bear fruit in the collision.
The conference does not happen overnight, and the preparation process is also essential. Many ideas and opinions are improved during this process.
Even Fengdu, who has inherited the knowledge of his descendants and can be said to be well-informed, will still applaud certain points of view.
While the academic exchanges in the Qi State were in full swing, the great witch "Qi" led a group of shamans to quietly integrate into the Qin State.
They either hide in the mountains or live in busy cities, or join the army, or go in and out of temples. Every witch clan is gathering strength and waiting for the opportunity.
This group of witch clansmen are all rising stars in the clan, the elites of the clan accumulated over countless years.
There is no doubt about their ability, and soon some people stood out in the Qin Kingdom. They all concealed their identities as witches, just waiting to shock the three worlds again.
Those who enter the temple make plans and develop national strength. Those who enter the army use witchcraft to train soldiers and practice formations.
Supporting a country with the strength of one clan, Qin strengthened its economy at home and wiped out barbarians abroad. Its national power grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ten years of gathering, ten years of cultivation, and ten years of conquest. Judging from the current situation, it will only take thirty to fifty years at most, and the power of the human race is very likely to reverse in two levels.
While the State of Qi was obsessed with poetry, calligraphy, rituals and music, and developing culture, the State of Qin was tempering its own will with blood and fire, swords and spears.
On this day, a huge team arrived outside Linzi City. Confucius, wearing a Confucian robe and a Confucian crown, rode in front of him on a carriage.
There were seventy-two disciples behind him, following him in two columns. Now Confucius's announcement spread far and wide, and the princes paid tribute to him.
It is said that Confucius had seventy-two sages and three thousand disciples under his sect. However, three thousand disciples is an imaginary number, just like three thousand worlds, which is just a description of its large number.
But these seventy-two sages were the disciples of Confucius. Each of them had a name and talent.
Confucius led his disciples to travel around the country and visit the sages. With the guidance of sages such as Laozi and Yangzi, Confucianism has now taken shape. It is stated in the countryside and heard among the princes.
Different from Yang Tuo's history, Confucius' Confucianism is actually a prominent school, and one needs to be at the height of a temple to practice it.
Therefore, Confucianism spread widely among the princes. When the Qi State came to Linzi, the King of Qi went ten miles out of the city to welcome him.
He has written "Poems", "Books", "Li", "Yi", "Yue", "Spring and Autumn", and the Analects of Confucius, the foundation of Confucianism.
On the day when "Spring and Autumn" was written, the luck of Confucianism greatly increased, and historians like Yang Tuo also benefited a lot.
On the day when the Analects of Confucius was written, Confucianism was booming with great momentum. Confucius took the opportunity to perfect the Confucian exercises, and based on the aura of awe-inspiringness, he entered the realm of Taiyi.
On that day, his teacher Yuanshi Tianzun said: You were born with a poor life, and it is difficult to achieve immortality. You can only enjoy the wealth and honor of the world.
Jiang Ziya always thought that if he came down to serve as an official, held an official position, and was awarded the title of King of Qi, he would be the so-called rich and noble in the world.
But when he was reincarnated as Confucius and achieved Taiyi with a breath of awe-inspiring power, he discovered that what the teacher said was his "Tao".
He was born with a poor life, so he had to reincarnate. It was difficult for him to achieve immortality, so he turned to Confucianism. He could only enjoy the wealth and honor of the world, but his way was to join the world, live in the temple, and share weal and woe with the human race.
Only today did he understand the teacher's painstaking efforts. If he were to follow the path of immortality, he would not be able to become an immortal without the teacher's methods.
However, the conditioned method can only reach the realm of the Golden Immortal, and then turns into the unaction method, which requires self-enlightenment.
The immortal road is cold and cold, located far away from the rivers and lakes, in the three mountains and five mountains, in the rivers, lakes and seas, not in the turbulent world of mortals.
But his way is in secular affairs, in temples, and in the long world. If he cultivates the way of immortality, it runs counter to his own way.
It's like searching for flowers in the fog or fishing for the moon in the water. In the end, it's just a bamboo basket, and it's all in vain!
Now, Confucius has understood his own way, and knows that his actions are unified and consistent with the way. As he continues to practice his own way, great things can be expected!
