My understanding is against the heavens, I create a family of villains with longevity.

That's right.

Just a month ago, Xu Fan, who was originally doing nothing, woke up and suddenly discovered that he had the ability to talk to his future self!

Relying on this, Xu Fan quickly rose to prominence. With just a few words, he completely impressed the Zheng family, the largest family in Anjiang City!

Later, Xu Fan relied on this ability to lead the Zheng family to deprive the Ziwei Chen family of a large amount of spiritual stone mines, completing the primitive accumulation in just one month!

"The spiritual stones I have now are enough for me to exchange my shot for a cannon, in exchange for good cultivation techniques and magical talismans. I can leave this place and find a new place to support my practice for a long time."

Xu Fan smiled slightly.

"Then I can calm down and develop my abilities. Now I only use this ability to rob the Chen family's spiritual stones, which is a bit overkill."

Just as Xu Fan was thinking.

A man in black robes covered in blood suddenly stumbled over from a distance.

The people of the Zheng family seemed invisible and were still busy with their own affairs.

The man in black robes, covered in blood, staggered and fell heavily in front of Xu Fan.

"I am you in three days' time"

"Chen Zhixing, the enemy!!!"

The man in black robe just uttered one sentence and turned into countless winds of sand and disappeared in front of Xu Fan.

Xu Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems that if I choose to flee with the Zheng family, will I fail?"

Xu Fan murmured to himself, and his thoughts suddenly began to spin.

The biggest advantage of his ability is that he has countless opportunities for trial and error.

The future is not constant, but will have countless branches with every thought he has.

And he can find his best choice through constant trial and error among these countless branches!

Just like the man in black robe just now, he is one of the future branches, three days from now! !

Obviously, in the future where he originally envisioned taking the Zheng family to escape with him, he failed.

If he does this, he will die at the hands of Chen Zhixing in the future!

"Chen Zhixing"

A coldness flashed in Xu Fan's eyes. He had connected with his future self dozens of times.

However, every time, the future self tells the present self.

Chen Zhixing is extremely dangerous and a formidable enemy!

"What if, I do this?"

Xu Fan looked at the Zheng family in the distance who were immersed in a bright future, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Ziwei Mountain.

Chen Zhixing and Chen Buqi had just returned to the third peak, and Chen Buqi hid in the dark.

He knew in his heart that Chen Buqi had just come out of the dark prison and was still a little uncomfortable with the outside world.

Therefore, Chen Zhixing did not force Chen Buqi to show his face.

"Third Young Master, is that you?"

Far away, Chen Zhixing heard an uncertain call.

"Mr. Lu?"

Chen Zhixing raised his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Third Young Master, you have figured it out."

Blind bachelor Lu Bing sounded a little happy, but he was worried about whether he would affect Chen Zhixing, so he quickly asked:

"Third Young Master, do you have time now?"

"Yes." Chen Zhixing nodded, and then led Lu Bing into the main hall.

After entering the main hall, Lu Bing looked a little excited and said nonchalantly:

"Since the Third Young Master last mentioned being sincere and upright, the students have been thinking about what it means to be sincere and upright in the past few days, but no matter how hard they think about it, they can't get a real answer."

"Sir, can you help me clear up my doubts?"

After saying that, Lu Bing bowed his hands deeply towards Chen Zhixing.

Chen Zhixing supported Lu Bing's cupping of hands, guided Lu Bing to sit down, and said with a smile: "I haven't studied much about Confucianism. Since you asked me, I will just talk about it."

After saying that, Chen Zhixing picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, thought about it and said seriously:

"Buddhist Zen Buddhism once mentioned a Buddhist stanza, saying that the heart is a Bodhi tree and the body is a mirror stand. It should be brushed diligently at all times to avoid dust."

"Later, another eminent monk in the Zen sect re-edited this Buddhist stanza and replaced it with 'Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where can it cause dust'?"

"In my opinion, these two Buddhist gathas are naturally correct, but the latter one is more suitable for Buddhism, while the former one is actually more suitable for the Confucian theory of 'sincerity of mind and righteousness of mind'. "

"The saying in the Buddha's gatha 'Always wipe it diligently and don't stir up dust' is similar to 'I examine myself three times a day'."

Lu Bing frowned slightly when he heard this and said: "Students often reflect on themselves, but why do they always feel that they are still a little short of the state of 'sincerity and integrity'?"

Chen Zhixing smiled and said: "Simple self-examination will naturally not achieve the state of sincerity and righteousness of heart. As the saying goes, those who want to cultivate their bodies must first rectify their hearts; those who want to rectify their hearts, first be sincere in their intentions; those who want to be sincere in their intentions, first It knows.”

"To put it simply, your introspection is not as simple as introspecting your own character and actions, but introspecting whether you are closer to the goal you want."

"What is known first is that you must first know how to do it and why you should do it!"

"Only when we understand this can we be sincere."

As soon as this was said.

Blind bachelor Lu Bing was suddenly shocked, with a look of confusion on his face.

Yup!

Why should I study?

What is the purpose of doing your own learning?

Lu Bing couldn't help lowering his head, his thoughts became chaotic.

Since I started practicing Confucianism, every time I study hard, I always reflect on myself how much I have read today and whether what I did today is correct.

But I have never thought about what I would do if I really became a great scholar one day.

Chen Zhixing glanced at Lu Bing and did not bother him, but after a long while, he said: "To achieve knowledge, you need to examine things. After examining things, you will know. After knowing, you will be sincere. After you are sincere, your heart will be right. If your heart is right, your body will be right." Cultivate your body, and then your family will be in order; your family will be in order, and your country will be in order; your country will be in peace, and then the world will be at peace."

boom--! ! !

As soon as he said these words, it was like a thunderbolt empowering him. Lu Bing suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Zhixing.

"Third Young Master, what you are saying is that I should pursue self-cultivation, harmonize the family, govern the country and bring peace to the world?" Lu Bing said.

Chen Zhixing shook his head and said: "No, everyone has their own path. What I mean is that some people will pursue self-cultivation, harmonization of the family, governance of the country, and peace of the world, but it does not mean that you have to do that, but you can Taking this as a lesson, can you understand what I mean?"

Lu Bing nodded in understanding.

Chen Zhixing stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, that's it for today. Mr. Lu might as well think carefully about the path he wants to take in these few days, and reach the state of 'knowing first'. Only by knowing first Only when the intention is sincere and the heart is right can knowledge and action be unified."

After saying that, Chen Zhixing left the hall.

Only Lu Bing was left, sitting on the same spot, his face deep in confusion, contradiction and confusion.

The next day, early in the morning.

A flying boat left Ziwei Mountain and broke through the sea of ​​clouds towards Anjiang City.

Chen Zhixing, dressed in a white shirt and with a handsome face, stood on the bow of the ship, with five elders at the peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm behind him.

Far behind him, the cursed boy Chen Buqi huddled in a corner.

"The Zheng family."

Chen Zhixing narrowed his eyes, a coldness flashing in his eyes.
