I have a two world clock

Chapter 39 Confucianism
"The gift can't be ignored!"

Standing in front of the master's portrait, Sun Honglie said to Li Mu: "The overthrow of a dynasty begins with the collapse of rites and music. If the master enters Confucianism, he must first learn rites, be famous and humble, know the high and low, look up to the sages, be gentle and courteous."

Li Mu glanced at Sun Honglie, and said with a smile: "You, a murderer who was hunted down by the court, are you talking about etiquette and morality with me here?"

Sun Honglie suddenly became embarrassed, and the awe-inspiring expression just now disappeared, and said embarrassingly: "Master, people are not sages and sages, who can do nothing wrong? The master has said, repay kindness with kindness, and repay grievances with straightness! The villain suffered great humiliation in the past, so naturally he must Revenge comes back, the so-called enmity of ten generations can still be avenged, adulterers and prostitutes humiliate my family style, how can I spare them? Villain..."

Li Mu waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, you can continue talking."

Sun Honglie: "..."

He didn't dare to say more, he hurriedly collected his mood, and said to Li Mu: "Master used to preach all over the world, traveled around Kyushu, and received a total of 72 disciples. Among the 72 disciples, there were [-] sages. The Confucianism of Master can be passed down to this day. The merits of these [-] sages."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "No matter how powerful a sage is, what they pass on is the sage's orthodox tradition. Without the sage's teaching, what kind of orthodoxy can they pass on?"

Sun Honglie didn't dare to refute: "Yes, what the master said is true."

He continued: "When the master was alive, the prehistoric times were uncertain, and the countries were constantly fighting. There was a Taoist ancestor who passed down the Dharma to the human world, and preached moral thoughts. There was a Buddha who preached the Dao of Nirvana. But Buddhism and Taoism practice the way beyond the world. , do not talk about helping the world and saving the people, which is inconsistent with the Master's philosophy."

When he said this, he looked admiring: "Later, the master created Confucianism and preached it to the world, so that the human race diligently cultivated itself and strived for self-improvement. He preached the world, traveled in Kyushu, conquered many demons and ghosts along the way, and persuaded countless monks with supernatural powers..."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Persuasion? Is it persuasion?"

Sun Honglie: "..."

He said helplessly to Li Mu: "Master, you have misunderstood. The master likes to convince people with reason, how can there be any reason to throw old punches at the enemy at every turn?"

Li Mu said: "Convince people with reason? Convince people with force?"

He laughed and said: "I heard that my master is nine feet nine inches and nine centimeters tall. He is almost taller than ten feet. He is ugly and has double pupils. His strength can pull up the southern mountains to fill the northern seas, and his breath can be like thunder. Two fingers can reach you." Fulong. As the leading elder brother, he led three thousand horses and more than a dozen chariots across the Kyushu. No one dared to stop him. He was majestic and arrogant. He scored three points, I don’t know if he is or not?”

Sun Honglie opened his mouth wide: "This...Master, don't listen to the rumors. Although Master has superb abilities, he never wants to be famous for his strength. What he values ​​most is benevolence and propriety, and he never speaks of strange power. He is a dignified saint. , with three thousand little brothers, running rampant in the world, this... what kind of talk!"

He said so in his mouth, but when he thought about it carefully, it really seemed like this!

In the age of the master, the world was just opened, the prehistoric times were uncertain, the human kingdom was torn apart, and there were wars for years. At the same time, there were monsters eating people, evil gods and chaos, and the whole earth was wrapped in the breath of blood and fire.

And the master happened to travel around Kyushu under such circumstances, preaching the world.

Even a fool would not believe it if he insisted that when he preached, his journey was smooth and he didn't even make trouble for others.

You must know that the first apprentice of the Master, a guy named Meng You, was born as a robber.

This Mongolian body was born with supernatural powers. It can capture dragons with one hand, and split tigers and leopards. It is a mess of bravery.

But after Mengyou met the master, it is recorded in the book that "you will test the master three times, and after the third test, you will accept him salty and become the first disciple of the master."

Now that I think about it, the content of these "three tests" is quite strange. It should not be a test of school knowledge, but rather a probing by force.

Meng You, who was still a bandit at the time, had a lot of knowledge. When he met Master, he probably robbed him first. However, facing the fierce man like Master, Meng You's bravery was not enough. It is estimated that he was defeated by Master one after another. The master was frightened by force, so he obediently listened to the master's reasoning.

Then he was aggrieved and became the master's apprentice, leading the horse, washing and folding quilts for the master, and taking care of the master meticulously, fearing that the master would blame him a little bit.

In history, Meng You was famous for his bravery, uprightness and filial piety. This bravery and straightness is his true nature. As for filial piety, I'm afraid it was really forced out by his master...

When Sun Honglie thought of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, he just felt that his three views had exploded.

Li Mu's words completely subverted the image of Master in his mind.

"That, master, what happened to the master happened in the ancient prehistoric times. It has been 10,000+ years ago, so it is untestable. Let's talk about the exercises."

He didn't dare to let Li Mu ramble on, and spoke quickly: "After the master established Confucianism and Taoism, he paid attention to self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace. If you want to learn Confucianism, you must cultivate yourself. If you want to be sincere, you must first have a righteous mind. When your heart is upright, your energy will be upright, and if your energy is upright, your mighty aura will be born. Only when you have cultivated your awe-inspiring righteousness can you be qualified to call yourself a disciple of Confucianism!"

Li Mu said: "Just tell me how to practice."

Sun Honglie said: "If you want to be honest and sincere, you have to set certain rules. A man was born in the world, and he can't make meritorious deeds, can't help the world and save the people. Isn't it a waste of time? The master only needs to make a wish in his heart to save the people and save the world. As soon as you think about it, this mighty righteousness will naturally come out of your body, and then you can practice the righteousness formula, and you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Li Mu shook his head and said: "Heaven and earth have righteousness, mixed with manifolds, rivers below, sun and stars above. Even if I don't have high ambitions, it will not delay my righteousness."

Sun Honglie stood still for a moment, and said: "There is righteousness in the world, but mixed Fu is popular? Master, who is this masterpiece? Just listening to the beginning makes the villain's hair stand on his head, and he feels a surge of righteousness in his chest!"

Li Mudao: "This is done by a sage and great Confucianist. If you say it, you haven't heard of it, and if you draw it, you won't recognize it! You just tell the cultivation method, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Sun Honglie didn't dare to say much, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the Confucian school is full of righteousness. There are ten levels in total, and each level is higher and deeper. When you reach the third level, you have rebelled against your innate nature and have been reborn. When you reach the fifth level, you can command the world. , to order ghosts and gods, to the ninth floor, that is the means of gods and Buddhas.

As for the tenth level, no one can cultivate it except the master... I will tell you the first level of mind, and I ask the master to listen to the truth..."

Immediately, he told Li Mu in detail the first level of Confucianism's noble and upright mentality.

This way of thinking doesn't sound too difficult, but the difficulty lies in the fact that one must be sincere in one's mind and upright in one's conduct. Only with an upright heart and sincerity can one enter the orthodox door.

This Confucianist mentality is upright and fierce, and he is very angry with Li Mu.

After Li Mu listened to it, he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart: "This old master's exercises are quite reasonable!"

He sat silently for a while, suddenly there was a puff of white air above his head, this white air rose like a pillar, merged with Li Mu's spirit energy, broke through the roof, and went straight into the sky.

In an instant, there was a shock between the sky and the earth, there was a flash of thunder in the sky, a strong wind suddenly rose in all directions, and the sky changed instantly.

"There is a peerless Confucian who sits in Qinghe County!"

Many monks and monsters gathered around Qinghe County were all terrified when the pillar of energy rose, and felt scorched by the scorching sun, so they got up one after another, and quickly moved away from Qinghe County, not daring to approach within ten miles.

In the room, Sun Honglie looked at the white air rising from Li Mu's head, his mouth was wide open, and his eyeballs were about to protrude: "This...Master, you are a sage and a scholar!"
