The second grade is called meritorious service, but what is the standard for meritorious service?
How much merit does it take to reach the second level?
There is no clear hint for these, which makes it very difficult for Ning Chen to judge.
"First take a look at your Haoran Zhengqi book." Kong Jijiu explained.
Ning Chen summoned his Haoran Righteousness Book, but didn't see anything strange.
"Put Haoran Zhengqi's book into Confucianism and Taoism and look at it." Kong Jijiu further said to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen followed the instructions and placed his Haoran Zhengqi book among Confucianism and Taoism.
Putting Haoran Zhengqi's book into Confucianism and Taoism, changes suddenly appeared.
In the past, Haoran Zhengqi's book was suspended above Confucianism and Taoism, but now Haoran's Zhengqi book is embedded in Confucianism and Taoism.
After Ning Chen saw the clues, Kong Jijiu Fang continued to explain to Ning Chen: "Haoran Zhengqi Book is the link between you and Confucianism and Taoism. The closer the link between the two, the more diligent you are in your cultivation."
.
When your Haoran Zhengqi book is completely immersed in Confucianism and Taoism, you will be equivalent to stepping into the second grade.
The deeper you immerse, the more profound your second grade is, and it also means the stronger the ability you can borrow."
Ning Chen nodded: "Thank you teacher for clarifying my doubts."
Kong Jijiu glanced at it, and Ning Chen had already soaked in nine-tenths of Haoran's righteousness and said: "You are getting closer to the second level faster than I thought."
"No matter how fast I am, I can't compare with you, teacher. Teacher, you can enter the second level at any time. I'm still far behind?" Ning Chen gave Kong Ji a rainbow fart directly.
liquor.
For Ning Chen's compliments, Kong Jijiu still appreciated it.
But down to business, Kong Jijiu did not forget: "According to your current level of infiltration, you may only need one more holy path to be promoted to the second level. Do you still have a new holy path that can be built?"
Ning Chen shook his head in embarrassment: "Teacher, I just finished building the medical path. I don't have any inspiration yet, and I really need to slow down."
Kong Jijiu nodded, but did not force Ning Chen.
"When you are able to build a new holy path, you tell me and I will advance to the second level with you.
Use the news of my promotion to the second rank to cover up the news of your promotion to the second rank.
This will help you cover up, and when you deal with the Western Region, your probability of success will be higher."
Ning Chen cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you, teacher, for covering up for me."
After a pause, Ning Chen said: "But teacher, our sect of two saints should be considered a good story that will go down in history."
Kong Jijiu nodded calmly and said, "Of course."
"Hehe, I don't know what the world's Confucian scholars would think if they knew about our Double Sage Society.
Yunshan Academy, in particular, has always claimed that it is Confucian orthodoxy, but so far it does not have a second-grade scholar.
On the contrary, our sect became a double saint in one day."
Ning Chen knew that Kong Jijiu couldn't stand Yunshan Academy's self-proclaimed orthodoxy, so when chatting, he naturally tried to find a way to chat with Kong Jijiu.
Apart from this minor problem and hobby, Kong Jijiu was good to Ning Chen.
When something goes wrong, stand in front of Ning Chen.
When there are benefits, it directly represents Ning Chen and wants the most benefits.
Although he never forgets to show off that Ning Chen is his disciple.
But as a teacher, Kong Jijiu is still very competent and qualified.
Therefore, Ning Chen is naturally very willing to satisfy Kong Jiji's little hobby.
"Teacher, I will try my best to recover as soon as possible and try to think of a new holy way as soon as possible. I will notify the teacher in advance when the time comes."
After a pause, Ning Chen suddenly thought of something and asked Kong Jijiu: "Teacher, how do you plan to be promoted to the second rank?"
"Kill the enemy and enter the second level." Kong Jijiu said lightly.
"Kill the enemy and enter the second level?!" Ning Chen was really shocked when he heard Kong Jijiu's plan to enter the second level.
Of course, it is not impossible to kill the enemy to the second level.
In fact, this is a very feasible method.
The main function of Confucianism established by Confucian sages is to give humans a way to practice, help humans improve, and enable humans to resist foreign enemies on their own.
Therefore, using Confucianism and Taoism to kill enemies is indeed a way to accumulate merit.
But if you want to enter the second level, if you just kill some minions, then the process will obviously be very, very slow.
So you can only find powerful enemies to kill, at least those of the second level, then the merit will increase.
"Teacher plans to join the barbarian tribe?" Ning Chen thought for a moment and roughly understood Kong Jijiu's plan.
Now the enemies of the human race, the demon race, must not be forgotten.
Over here in the Western Region, I am watching.
Only the barbarians can offer wine to Kong to raise the level.
And compared to the demon clan and the Western Regions, the barbarians are the biggest enemies of the human race.
If you can really kill a second-level or above barbarian, it will definitely be considered a great achievement.
Kong Jijiu nodded lightly: "Yes."
This kind of behavior is very consistent with Kong Jijiu's usual behavior.
Ning Chen did not persuade Kong Jijiu to decide what he had decided.
It is impossible to change Kong Jijiu's decision already made by his own persuasion.
Ning Chen could only tell him to be careful.
"Teacher, I'll let you know when I'm ready."
Ning Chen reassured the teacher again, and after Kong Jijiu left, Ning Chen finally left the group chat.
After returning to his mansion, Ning Chen asked Zheng Da to call Xu Muzhi over to him.
Soon Xu Muzhi appeared in front of Ning Chen full of resentment.
"Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because you have a medical knowledge. I'm still busy with military affairs here. Why did you come to see me?"
Ning Chen said with a smile: "I asked you to come here because a medical knowledge cannot make me sit back and relax, so I want you to help me deduce a peace-of-mind military strategy."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Muzhi sneered and said: "With the current situation, it would be great if we could stabilize Leiyin Temple and prevent them from jumping over the wall and launching a desperate counterattack.
You still want to resolve the affairs of the Western Region once and for all, which is simply impossible."
After finishing speaking, Xu Muzhi seemed to realize that what he just said was too absolute, and quickly added: "At least for now, there is no way to solve the matter in the Western Regions once and for all."
Ning Chen was not angry, but continued to ask Xu Muzhi gently: "What if I can allow Mahayana Buddhism to spread rapidly in the Western Regions in a short period of time and occupy all the Buddhist countries in the Western Regions except Leiyin Temple? Let them
How about all becoming followers of Mahayana Buddhism?”
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Muzhi was slightly stunned at first, and then sneered: "If you can really make Mahayana Buddhism bloom all over the Western Region overnight.
That can indeed solve the problems in the Western Regions, but what can you do to make Mahayana Buddhism bloom everywhere in the Western Regions in a short period of time?
Do you think Leiyin Temple is there just for decoration?
Not to mention blooming everywhere, even under the current situation, Leiyin Temple will probably take action against Mahayana Buddhism.
I was just deducing what method Leiyin Temple would use to target Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan.
According to the results of my deduction, if Leiyin Temple gives up the bottom line, Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan will have no way to survive without your rescue."
After Xu Muzhi finished explaining the results of his deduction, Ning Chen said to Xu Muzhi: "What if I can prevent Leiyin Temple from interfering with Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan for a period of time?
How many days do you think it will take for me to spread Mahayana Buddhism throughout the Western Region?
Then after these few days passed, Leiyin Temple discovered this situation, and his violent reaction would pose a great threat to Mahayana Buddhism."
Xu Muzhi originally wanted to laugh at Ning Chen, but when he saw that Ning Chen was smiling, his eyes were sincere.
Xu Muzhi realized that Ning Chen was not joking.
Ning Chen should be serious.
"Can you really make Leiyin Temple disappear for a period of time?" Xu Muzhi asked Ning Chen uncertainly.
Ning Chen nodded and said: "It should be possible to make Leiyin Temple disappear for a period of time, but this time should not be too long. It may only be ten or eight days."
Xu Muzhi didn't care about the time, but asked Ning Chen eagerly: "What are you going to do?"
Xu Muzhi can slowly deduce how long it will take for Mahayana Buddhism to spread in the Western Regions.
Since the certainty that Leiyin Temple’s influence will disappear remains unchanged, the deduction is easy.
However, now Xu Muzhi really can't figure out what Ning Chen should do to make Leiyin Temple's influence disappear for a period of time.
Just now, more than a dozen plans passed through Xu Muzhi's mind.
But they were quickly denied by Xu Muzhi.
Xu Muzhi felt that the most reliable plan was for Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing to join forces to blockade Leiyin Temple.
But in this case, it will expose the fact that Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing are not at their residence.
At that time, if the barbarians suddenly invade the border, or there is a huge fluctuation on the Great Wall of Righteousness.
The losses caused by this are much more serious than solving a Western Region.
So Xu Muzhi really couldn't figure out what Ning Chen was going to do to make Leiyin Temple disappear for a while.
If Xu Muzhi could not understand this problem, he would really have trouble sleeping and eating.
Ning Chen saw Xu Muzhi scratching his head and did not continue to make things difficult for Xu Muzhi. Instead, he repeated to Xu Muzhi exactly the plan he had just discussed with Marquis Dingguo and others in the group.
Xu Muzhi didn't pay much attention to the plan, but Xu Muzhi heard something that impressed him deeply.
"Are you going to be promoted to the second rank of Confucianism?" Xu Muzhi asked with an extremely complicated expression on his face.
Ning Chen shook his head and said: "It's not the second grade of Confucianism, but the second grade of Confucianism and martial arts."
Xu Muzhi:......
Resisting the urge to scold her, Xu Muzhi asked Ning Chen: "The second level of Confucianism and Taoism is meritorious service. Although you have done a lot of things that are beneficial to the human race, there should be some distance before you reach the second level."
Xu Muzhi originally followed Confucianism, so he was quite familiar with the situation of Confucianism and Taoism.
At least he understands Confucianism and Taoism better than Ning Chen, a quasi-second-grade Confucianist.
After hearing Xu Muzhi's words, Ning Chen showed a meaningful smile: "Originally, I am not good enough, but maybe the Confucian sage may think that for a genius like me, my promotion is so slow, which is a harm to the human race.
Therefore, the Confucian sage specially came out to endorse me so that my merits can be improved faster."
"The Confucian sage endorses it for you, you can just dream." After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Muzhi really felt that he was off the mark.
"Originally I thought I was dreaming, but this is the truth. When I sent the medical knowledge to Wenshan Shuhai, the shadow of the Confucian saint appeared. Then I bowed to the Medical Mountain from a distance, and I didn't even know what happened.
How should you react?" Ning Chen said with an innocent face.
Xu Muzhi listened to what Ning Chen said and then looked at the expression on Ning Chen's face.
I knew that everything Ning Chen said was true.
Xu Muzhi was surprised at first, and then felt infinitely lost and disappointed.
At the same time, Xu Muzhi also felt that this time, he was completely framed by Ning Chen.
Ning Chen just wanted to ask him step by step, and then tell him about the Confucian saint's false worship.
Xu Muzhi didn't feel that this matter was his own problem at all.
Looking at Ning Chen's arrogant expression, Xu Muzhi knew that all this was planned by Ning Chen.
Otherwise, if Ning Chen hadn't said anything, how could he have known about these things.
"Brother Xu, let's get down to business. Next, I have to rely on you, Brother Xu, to help me with my military push." Ning Chen walked over, put his arms around Xu Muzhi's shoulders, and said warmly.
Xu Muzhi pushed Ning Chen away in disgust and said, "I know what to do. I will inform you when there are results."
After saying this, Xu Muzhi turned around and left Ning Chen's mansion.
Ning Chen glanced at Xu Muzhi and couldn't help but laugh.
Ning Chen is very capable of handling people like Xu Muzhi now.
Xu Muzhi is the kind of person who works harder the more pressure you put on him.
Don't look at how Xu Muzhi seems to be suffering from Ning Chen now.
But Ning Chen believed that when Xu Muzhi returned to his room, he would work harder to help him in the military push.
After sending Xu Muzhi away, Ning Chen began to deduce it himself.
The first is of course Ning Chen’s own double second grade.
The biggest change of the second level of Confucianism and Taoism is that you can borrow some methods from those Confucian predecessors on the Holy Way.
Although this requires hard work, judging from the means Ning Chen can build the Holy Path.
If you accumulate more work, it won’t be a big problem.
And for Ning Chen, the biggest advantage of entering the second level of Confucian Sage is that Ning Chen's third level of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude can be put into greater use.
Ning Chen can now see the opponent's weaknesses, but seeing the weaknesses doesn't mean he can directly exploit them.
After all, the means are limited.
But if we can borrow the methods of other Confucianism cultivators in Confucianism and Taoism, then this problem will be perfectly solved.
My own means are not enough to deal with you, but I have many seniors who must have means to deal with you.
Then there is the second level of martial arts, and the second level of martial arts is the Immortal Martial King.
Immortal King Wu literally means immortality.
A third-level martial artist can be reborn as long as he retains part of his body.
But now it is really possible to achieve rebirth with a drop of blood. Of course, the premise is that it needs to be stimulated with immortal substances.
Of course, this goes very well with Ning Chen's martial intent.
I am immortal, but at the same time I can rebound or absorb your attacks. This is definitely a very troublesome combination.
