Jixia Academy is located on a mountain peak outside the capital.
Jixia means "under the Jixia". It is said that it was originally located in the Jimen of Qi State during the Warring States Period, but was later destroyed by the First Emperor. It was rebuilt since the Han Dynasty and has been around the capital.
The peak where Jixia Academy is located is only a hundred feet high, but the mountain is very gentle. On the inverted silver basin-like peak, thousands of antique and elegant buildings surround the Confucius Temple towering on the top of the mountain.
Arranged like a dense cluster of stars, it looks spectacular when viewed from a distance.
Jixia Academy is the first Confucian academy. It is said that at its peak, it gathered thousands of great Confucians and alchemists from all over the world. It was the source of etiquette and morality in the Central Plains and the center where wise men gathered in Yunei. It was admired by all the people in the world.
In the past thousand years, with the rise of Yue Wudi, the limelight of Jixia Academy has been taken away by the military strategist Zhulu Academy. However, it is still the holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world and the cradle of the princes and ministers of the capital. Before all the princes and grandchildren entered politics,
They will go to the lower house here to learn and experience.
As the prince's eldest son, Zhao Si naturally had to go to the lower court to study. However, since the incident with Baili Zhi, he had never dared to come there again because Baili Zhi was closely related to Qin Lingyun, the youngest daughter of Qin Shuzhi, who held a ceremony at Jixia Academy.
good.
"Confucianism is the only one among all the schools of thought, and only the majesty of all laws in the world will last forever... What a big statement! Where do you put our Taoism?"
Passing by the huge archway at the entrance of the lower courtyard, Yang Cong, who accompanied Fa Hai and Zhao Si, spoke full of dissatisfaction.
"Confucianism emphasizes checks and balances and only respects Confucianism, which is just to check and balance hundreds of schools of thought."
But Fa Hai didn't take it seriously. He gently shook his folding fan and walked along.
"In the land of China, most of the barbarians from various countries established their country based on religion, and one family was the only one. Only the Central Plains was a state of etiquette where hundreds of schools of thought coexisted. This was the result of Confucianism's checks and balances, so it is not wrong to say that Confucianism was the national religion of the Central Plains that educated all peoples.
"
"What's the use of a country of etiquette?" Yang Cong didn't dare to refute Fa Hai, so he could only mutter in a low voice. Coming from a barbarian land overseas, he only believed in fists and interests.
"I heard that you are all based on strength overseas, and in family sects, you also judge seniority based on cultivation. I'm surprised, if grandfather, father, and son join a family sect together, and after several years of practice, the son's cultivation is the highest.
I wonder if a father with a lower level of cultivation also has to call his son daddy, and does a grandfather with the worst cultivation level have to call his son daddy and his grandson grandpa?"
"This...this..."
"The reason why the Central Plains is called the Central Plains is because we understand etiquette, are literate, and have the same relationship between father and son. No matter when the time comes, father will always be father and son will always be son. This is also the reason why we respect teachers and respect morality." Fa Hai closed his folding fan,
He shook his head and strode away, "Hey, barbarians, uneducated, so scary!"
Yang Cong blushed at the refutation, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Fahai said was very reasonable. When he looked at the archway again, he felt a little more respect for the Confucian academy that taught the culture of all peoples.
Literature carries the Tao, and culture is always the foundation of the Tao.
…
The moss marks on the steps are green, the grass is green on the curtains, there are scholars talking and laughing, and there are no white people coming and going.
Walking on the winding mountain road of Jixia Academy, students from all over the country who came to study and worship the saints were coming and going, and most of the things they talked about were like Jing Yunzi said, and Yang Cong was stunned when he heard it.
Soon, the three of them arrived at an extremely elegant study room in the lower courtyard. Before they even entered, they heard the sound of reading and the fragrance of ink.
"This is it. The children of our princes and nobles all study in this study. Unfortunately, it seems that hundreds of miles away..."
Zhao Si felt a little depressed. He walked for a long time from the palace to Jixia Academy, but he didn't even meet Baili Zhi. This made him very disappointed.
He had already thought up a strategy for Fahai, a great master, to deal with Baili Zhi, which was to rape first and then kill, then rape and then kill. It would be best for him to rape and Fahai to kill, that would be perfect enough.
Thinking of his success, Zhao Si couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and laugh three times.
"Zhao Si?!"
A surprised exclamation interrupted Zhao Si's thoughts and attracted the attention of Fa Haihe and Yang Cong. They saw two young men who looked like noble gentlemen hiding out from the Zhaimen, as if they were about to skip class.
, suddenly saw Zhao Si and three others, and couldn't help but walked over in surprise.
"Lin Zhong, Lin Shi? It turns out it's you."
"Junior junior high school, how dare you come here? Don't you know that Brother Cang and Bai Lizhi are all over the imperial city looking for you?"
"So what? If you can, go and tell them I'm here now, hum!"
"You don't need to tell them, they must come to the academy once a day. Hey, we two wanted to skip class at first, but today we have to finish class."
Seeing the two people looking like they wanted to watch the show for free, Zhao Si suddenly got angry and was too lazy to pay attention to them anymore. He took Fa Hai and the two of them into the study. In the forest, Lin Shi saw this and quietly quietly
He covered himself up and slipped back.
The study hall is not big, but it is extremely elegantly decorated. A dozen aristocratic young people and an old master are holding books there, shaking their heads and chanting. They all look drowsy.
The education of children of nobles is the same as the education of children of high-ranking officials in previous lives. It is just a matter of gold-plating, and their way out has already been arranged.
Therefore, from the old master to the students, everyone was going through the motions. When Fa Hai and the others came in, the old master didn't even raise his eyelids, but the young people were full of surprise when they saw Zhao Si, and some of them even screamed in surprise.
As for Fahai, although he was handsome and handsome, he was not taken seriously by these princes and grandsons.
"Cough~"
The old master coughed, and the room fell silent again, and the sound of reading began again. However, although the young masters shook their heads one by one, their eyes were invariably focused on Zhao Si, with only two words in their eyes: You have the talent!
Fahai and the others found a spacious place by the window and sat down on their knees. Zhao Si was thinking unsteadily there, but Fahai was relaxed and content, enjoying the atmosphere of the book.
Only Yang Cong felt unnatural. Sitting here in a Taoist robe, he looked simply nondescript. If he hadn't been afraid of violating Fa Hai, he would have flown away long ago.
It is really shameful for a monk who is so superior and a half-immortal in the world to sit in a study room and listen to an ant preaching.
"Are we just waiting for Baili Zhi here?" Zhao Si couldn't help but whisper quietly as Fa Hai looked leisurely.
"Well... no rush, no rush." Fa Hai squinted his eyes and kept shaking his head along with the sound of books. After a long time, Fang Youyou said, "Then those who are dying, those who are dying, but those two in the three mountains and two forests.
Bit?"
"That's right, but the three mountains of the Xiao family have been missing for a long time. Now only Erlin is left in the capital. They have a very good relationship with Cang Jingtian." Zhao Si was slightly surprised and nodded.
"You make an appointment with them after class. I want to negotiate a business deal with them." Fa Hai licked his lips and said.
"Business? Good!" Although Zhao Si was confused, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He knew that Fahai had no good intentions with them, but what did this have to do with him?
Zhao Si only bullied Fa Hai once and paid the price of ten earth spirit pills. How could he take advantage of these guys who bully Fa Hai all day long?
Zhao Si was somewhat looking forward to seeing what methods Fahai would use to deal with these people.
Fahai was not in the mood to answer Zhao Si's questions. After giving his instructions, he shook his head and started chanting along with the old master.
"The righteousness exists between heaven and earth, giving various forms. The rivers and mountains on the earth, the sun, moon and stars in the sky. The righteousness of people is called awe-inspiring, filling the world with abundance. When you are born in the holy age of Qingming, your body will be peaceful and harmonious..."
Fahai has always been very interested in Confucianism, not only because of his career in his previous life, but also because Lu Dongbin mentioned that he needed to understand the free way of the three schools.
Fahai was a recognized talent, and he had always hoped to turn this cultural advantage into a strength advantage, which required the help of Confucianism.
As far as Fahai knows, there are many schools of Confucianism in the world, but there are only two sects when it comes to the realm of cultivation. One is the Taoism sect, which emphasizes establishing oneself in the royal way and benefiting the people with virtue. If the realm of cultivation is strong, it will help the imperial power to check and balance the realm of cultivation. The imperial power
If it is strong, it helps the world of cultivation to check and balance the imperial power. In short, it is to maintain a balance and prevent all people in the world from suffering. There are not many practitioners in this sect, but if they practice, most of them are unborn masters. They mostly use "Five Virtues and the Art of Ending and Beginning"
Famous throughout the world, Qin Shuzhi of Jixia Academy is the current leader of Tao Te Sect.
The other is the dragon-slaying clan. They also pursue balance, but they use violence to fight violence. Jing Ke and Xu Fu are relatively famous figures in this group. Their whereabouts are strange and their cultivation is unpredictable. What they are best at is the art of dragon-slaying. If
When he found out which emperor was cultivating for immortality, he directly assassinated him.
No matter which one of these two sects, they both cultivate the awe-inspiring righteousness of heaven and earth, respect Saint Confucius as the most holy teacher, and respect "Spring and Autumn" as the supreme holy treasure.
"Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals and all the saints were afraid of it. Why? He was only afraid that it would stink all the heavens and all the worlds, be reviled by the ages, and be punished by heaven. Therefore, the "Spring and Autumn Annals" are the scriptures, and they are the preserve of the great Dao."
It is said that the real "Spring and Autumn" is a wordless heavenly book. The records about "Spring and Autumn" in Dalin Temple's "Wuya Notes" are very vague. There are only these questions and answers. Fahai vaguely feels that it should be related to the destiny of heaven. However,
No one knows where the real "Spring and Autumn" is. It disappeared after the First Emperor burned the Confucius Ancestral Temple.
The Confucian history pen is like a knife, killing people without blood. Back then, the First Emperor did not burn books to harass Confucians. He just destroyed the Confucian Temple and took away the "Spring and Autumn". Under the operation of Confucianism, he has now become a bloodthirsty demon in the hearts of all people in the world.
existence.
Without further ado, let’s just say that this breath of heaven and earth’s righteousness which is compulsory for Confucianism is the foundation of the Confucian alchemist’s life. With one mouthful of heaven and earth’s vast righteousness, it can directly connect to the golden elixir, relics, and the principles of heaven and earth.
Many Confucian scholars have never practiced cultivation in their lives, but once they practice it, they can achieve enlightenment one after another. They rely on this breath of heaven and earth's righteousness to cultivate their bodies and establish their lives.
If Tao is the heart, Buddha is the bones, and Confucianism is the expression, then heaven and earth will be free and easy.
The Confucianism in the mouth of the Zhengqing Saint also refers to the awe-inspiring righteousness of the world. This breath comes from books and is embodied in the body. It has both the effect of magic power and the mystery of the state of mind. For monks who major in Buddhism and Taoism
It is similar to an auxiliary method.
Many monks and Taoist priests are able to speak in perfect order, and what they seek is this breath of awe-inspiring righteousness. Once this energy is perfected, it will be of great help to the monks.
For example, once a high-level monk's spiritual pressure comes out, a low-level monk will be greatly oppressed. However, if there is great righteousness in the body, even an ordinary person can resist the spiritual pressure with a proud body without bending his back.
For example, if Fahai had been full of righteousness when he met Jun Xiyue in the Black Water Cave, Jun Xiyue's Demonic Dance would not have affected him at all.
For another example, Lu Dongbin’s Forbidden Laws is the product of the combination of Confucian Haoran Zhengqi and Taoist realm.
Fahai has studied Confucianism so much just because he wants to obtain Haoran's righteous cultivation method. This will not only give him more capital to save his life, but also make his already strong state of mind even stronger.
Talent and learning can be fully utilized and transformed into unparalleled advantages.
The awe-inspiring righteousness of heaven and earth is very special. Even if you don't have any spiritual practice, you can rely on continuous reading and accumulate the aura of books. When the aura of books accumulates to a certain level, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change. Through sudden enlightenment, the aura of awe-inspiring heaven and earth will be condensed in one fell swoop.
But for Fahai, this was too slow.
Jixia Academy is the number one institution of Confucianism, and it must have a way to practice awe-inspiring righteousness. The problem now is how to find a way to get a glimpse of the secrets of Confucianism. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster.
