The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Shengyuan Continent, Jingguo, Jiangzhou, Dayuanfu, Jixian.

The sky is clear blue, the sun is shining brightly, the birds are chirping happily, the ground is scattered with leaves and petals that have been knocked down by the night rain, and the atmosphere is full of spring.

Fang Yun felt cold all over, woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and looked around blankly.

Fang Yun found himself lying on the bluestone in an alley. The ground was wet. He hurriedly stood up holding on to the wall. At the same time, he felt pain and burning all over his body.

"I clearly remember there was a fire in the library, and then I jumped off the building to escape. How could I be here? What kind of place is this?" Fang Yun thought to himself in confusion.

Fang Yun noticed from the corner of his eye that the clothes on his body were wrong. He looked down and was shocked to see that he was wearing ancient linen clothes with mud and blood stains on them. My arms are thin and small.

There was a small puddle next to him. Fang Yun looked down and saw his face reflected in the puddle.

"Isn't this me when I was fourteen or fifteen years old?"

Suddenly, Fang Yun felt a sharp pain in his brain and his eyes were filled with stars. A large number of memories flooded into his mind. He gritted his teeth and sweat oozed from his forehead.

I don't know how long it took, but Fang Yun calmed down, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he slowly sorted out the extra memories.

"It turns out that this is no longer the earth, but the Holy Yuan Continent that I have never heard of. This young man named Fang Yun has been beaten to death. Did I fall to death in the library, and then by chance, I took over his body? ? This is the legendary rebirth?"

"This Fang Yun's strongest wish is to be a child and have talent to honor his ancestors. There is a power like 'talent' here. Scholars can control the 'vital energy of heaven and earth' through talent and gain more powerful power. It is really unheard of."

"Huh? The history here..."

Fang Yun discovered that apart from demons and barbarians in this world, the history of Shengyuan Continent was normal before the Shang Dynasty, but it had undergone tremendous changes since the end of the Shang Dynasty.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, who later became King Wen of Zhou, observed the sun, moon and stars and wrote the "Book of Changes", an ancient book. He received visions from the sky, enlightenment of talents, and was granted the title of Lesser Sage. He came out of Xiqi to defeat Zhou.

Xiqi's army was overwhelming. After many days, they arrived at Chaoge City, the capital of the Shang Dynasty. The city gate suddenly opened, and one hundred thousand monsters, three hundred thousand barbarians, and one million merchant soldiers poured out like a tide, surrounding two hundred thousand Xiqi soldiers.

King Zhou of Shang stood on the city tower with his arms around the fox demon Daji, cursed Sergeant Xiqi, and then ordered a general attack. Seeing that Sergeant Xiqi was about to be destroyed, King Wen of Zhou stepped on the blue clouds and descended from the sky.

King Wen of Zhou was dressed in white, with a cold look on his face. He listed ten major crimes of King Zhou of Shang. For each crime, the fortune of the Shang Dynasty would be reduced by 10%, and King Zhou of Shang would be ten years older. After King Wen finished speaking, the fate of the Shang Dynasty collapsed, and King Zhou of Shang was about to die and was dying.

King Wen of Zhou's talent turned into a blazing sun and hung high in the sky. He held the holy book "Book of Changes" in his hand and recited. Tiny golden characters flew out of his mouth, flying bigger and bigger, and finally grew to be the size of a person, surrounded by countless golden characters. The blazing sun of talent emits golden light, illuminating the world.

The golden light did not harm the human race, but one hundred thousand monsters and three hundred thousand barbarians suddenly wailed miserably, their bodies split open from the inside out, blood spattered everywhere, and they died one after another.

In the end, all five barbarian saints died, and only one of the three demon saints escaped.

Above the Makino, blood flowed everywhere.

King Zhou died, and millions of merchant soldiers surrendered.

Later generations praised King Wen of Zhou: he killed monsters and barbarians with one hand and settled the world alone.

Later, King Wen of Zhou passed to King Wu and devoted himself to studying the "Book of Changes" and lived to be 500 years old.

After that, no one in the world was talented again until Confucius was born.

When the sage Confucius was born, he was ugly and abandoned in the wilderness. The weather was very hot. The goshawk descended and flapped its wings to drive him away from the heat. A tigress took Confucius into the tiger's den and suckled him with tiger milk. So later on. People say that Confucius is like "a dragon begets a tiger, an eagle is raised, and a fan is used."

Later, the tigress returned Confucius to Confucius' mother, who raised him with great care.

Confucius' mother was a concubine. After Confucius' father died, Confucius and his mother were driven away by Confucius' father's wife.

Confucius was very poor when he was young. After he was canonized, he once said to his disciples: "I am a young man, so I can do a lot of mean things." This means that he was very poor when he was a child, so he knew a lot of menial crafts.

Confucius was ordinary when he was young. It was in his middle age that he showed something extraordinary and traveled around the world.

In his old age, Confucius returned to the State of Lu to serve as an official, and eventually served as one of the highest officials in the State of Lu, Da Sikou, but was eventually squeezed out and resigned.

After resigning, Confucius revised the Book of Songs, Book of Documents, Book of Rites, and Book of Music, and wrote a preface to King Wen's Book of Changes. Finally, Confucius personally wrote the "Spring and Autumn". When the book was completed, his talent soared into the sky, flowers fell from the sky, stars shone in the sky, clouds spread thousands of miles away, thunder thundered thousands of miles away, the world was shaken, and he became a sub-sage.

Confucius spent ten years in seclusion after being canonized.

Soon after, the snake demon who escaped from the Shang-Zhou war practiced for six hundred years, and went one step further to become a great sage. He attempted to avenge King Wen to destroy the demons and barbarians, and launched a large-scale invasion.

The power of the Great Sage is slightly stronger than that of the human Sub-Sage, even King Wen of Zhou was not as powerful as him.

The allied forces of monsters and barbarians arrived at Yuhai City, and all the people were panicked.

Seeing that the demon barbarians were about to attack the city, Confucius flew in on the Wenbao "Liuguochang", holding the "Spring and Autumn Book" in his left hand and the "Spring and Autumn Pen" in his right hand. After seeing the great sage of the snake tribe, he smiled and said: "You will never tire of food, you will never tire of delicious food." Fine, please put the great sage into my jar and cook it in the fire."

Millions of monsters were furious, and Confucius took up his pen, and the wind and clouds surged, and the sky and the earth changed color. The Chunqiu pen wrote nine characters of "kill" in succession, one word and one sword, to kill the great sage of the snake clan, and divided the great sage of the snake clan into ten, and then Confucius cooked in front of everyone and one person ate a hundred-foot-long snake sage.

During the cooking process, the coalition of millions of monsters and barbarians wanted to escape. Confucius threw out the Spring and Autumn Book, a cultural treasure, which covered the sky for three thousand miles. The big book moved and killed millions of monsters and barbarians.

All the people knelt down and called him a saint.

Later, Confucius founded the first academy, Qufu Academy, which broke the educational monopoly at that time and enrolled 30,000 ordinary disciples, 3,000 direct disciples, and 72 virtuous disciples.

All those who worship Confucius as their teacher will naturally possess talents after studying.

Later, Confucius went a step further and achieved the status of a saint, which was unprecedented and unprecedented.

The sage had insight into the secrets of heaven and realized that the human race was hiding a great crisis, so he drove a national chariot to the Three Barbarians, traveled to the four seas, and climbed the Five Monster Mountains, forcing the two tribes of monsters and barbarians to sign a thousand-year no-war pact.

No one knows the specific process of Confucius ascending the Three Barbarians and the Four Seas and the Five Mountains. They only know that after Confucius returned, he visited hundreds of houses and then remained in seclusion.

After Confucius went into seclusion, Mencius, Xunzi, Zengzi, Zisizi and Yanzi were successively conferred semi-sage status, second only to sub-sage status, because they were personally taught by Confucius.

Confucian disciples no longer oppose other schools of thought. Confucius' grandson Zisi even proposed the concept of "learning from hundreds of schools of thought", taking the initiative to consult with hundreds of schools of thought and helping them learn their talents. Mozi from Mohism, Han Feizi from Legalism, and Zajia Lu Buwei, a farmer, Xu Xing, a farmer, and the grandson of a military strategist were all conferred semi-saints one after another.

It wasn't until Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, killed the white snake demon and revolted that his disciples knew that Confucius was about to die.

When Confucius passed away, the holy body turned into a pillar of talent and smoke, soaring into the sky and lasting for a long time, visible to everyone in the world. Three days later, the pillar of talent was divided into three parts. One entered Qufu Academy, the other entered thirty thousand disciples, and the other entered the world.

Therefore, five semi-sages, including Mencius, Xunzi, Zengzi, Zisizi and Yanzi, went a step further and were conferred the title of Lesser Sage.

Since then, the era of talent has begun.

From then on, a hundred schools of thought contended and finally returned to Confucianism.

Without the tragedy of deposing hundreds of families, the human race has prospered.

After the death of Confucius, Qufu Academy was renamed "Shengyuan" and had a transcendent status.

The Holy Academy gradually improved its talent and strength, adhering to Confucius's last wish, absorbing the essence of hundreds of schools of thought, and establishing ten literary positions: Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, Hanlin, Great Scholar, Great Confucian, Semi-Sage, Sub-Sage, and Saint. .

The higher the scholar's literary status, the more talents he has, and the stronger the vitality of the world he controls.

Fang Yun's heart was surging. He didn't expect such a magical world to exist.

"As long as you become a Tongsheng, you can have the most basic 'talent', and at the same time receive the gift of literary status. Tongsheng's gift is 'bright eyes and night vision'. You can see things at night and read without lighting an oil lamp at night. But after becoming a scholar, you will not be able to Now, being able to "talk about war on paper" is not a mocking statement, but the war poems and war words written by the scholar can be turned into reality and form a powerful force.

Fang Yun then remembered that Shengyuan Continent also experienced the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms periods. Currently, there are ten countries in Shengyuan Continent. Through recent historical figures, Fang Yun inferred that the present Shengyuan Continent probably existed before the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Fang Yun breaks down the celebrities who have been canonized recently.

Wang Xizhi, who is known as the "Sage of Calligraphy", borrowed "Preface to the Lanting Collection", "Peace Tie" and "Sangluan Tie" to become a semi-sage, second only to the sub-sage.

Tao Yuanming was made a semi-saint for his works such as "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring", "The Biography of Mr. Wuliu" and "Come Back and Come Back".

There was Zu Chongzhi who became a semi-saint based on "Zhushu", "Daming Calendar" and "Yi Yi".

Li Daoyuan became a semi-saint based on "Shui Jing Zhu" and "Ben Zhi".

Fan Zhen used "The Theory of Divine Destruction" to confer the title of Great Confucian, second only to Semi-Saint.

But, there is no Li Bai! No Du Fu!

No Bai Juyi! There is no Wang Changling!

There is no Li Shangyin! There is no Wen Tingyun!

No Wang Wei! No Du Mu!

There is no Han Yu! There is no Liu Zongyuan!

There is no Yan Zhenqing! No Liu Gongquan!

No Su Dongpo! No Ouyang Xiu!

No Lu You! No Li Qingzhao!

There is no Lu Jiuyuan! There is no Cheng Hao! No Zhu Xi! There is no Wang Yangming!

But there are no celebrities after the Sui and Tang Dynasties!

Fang Yun took a deep breath. There is no doubt that this may be the best time for him!

Suddenly, Fang Yun's expression changed slightly, because he just remembered his current identity and today's day.

Fang Yun's family was poor, his parents died young, and he only had a child bride named Yuhuan who was three years older than him.

The Fang family could not afford a child bride, but Yuhuan was taken in by her father to escape famine and was taken in by the Fang family. Her father stole the little money from the Fang family to gamble, but lost thousands more and was beaten to death. Before he died, he said that he had sold the jade ring to the Fang family as a child bride to repay the Fang family's money.

Yuhuan has been a beauty since she was a child, and she became even more beautiful when she grew up. She was called "Jiangzhou Xishi" by her neighbors. Even if her family had no money and could only wear a very simple coarse cloth skirt, her peerless charm could not be concealed.

After the death of their parents, Fang Yun and Yuhuan depended on each other. Yuhuan was clever and made money by doing needlework.

Fang Yun studied in a private school in the morning, and started working as a waiter in Jixiang Restaurant at noon to make a living, and he wanted to be a child student.
