The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1176 The Great Hall Appears

The debate between good and evil nature is a fundamental one, and scholars from both Xunzi and Mencius can participate. "Following the previous kings" and "following the future kings" can only be discussed by the Grand Secretary, and Hanlin rarely participates, because everyone has good and evil, but not everyone is qualified to talk about "kings".

Following the previous kings is the traditional Confucian thought of the holy way, which was proposed by Confucius and Mencius. It refers to imitating the words and deeds of ancient wise monarchs and ancient systems, such as Yao and Shun, Shang Tang, Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu.

Xunzi went a step further and not only proposed to follow the previous kings, but also proposed the concept of "following the future kings". The future kings, in opposition to those distant ancient monarchs, mainly refer to the wise monarchs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the future wise monarchs. Xunzi believes that the system of the previous kings cannot be used blindly to fool the human race, and the wise monarchs of later generations or the future are also worthy of emulation and learning.

Mencius only follows the law of the previous kings, while Xunzi wants to let the law of the previous kings and the law of the future kings coexist.

On this point, many Confucian scholars believe that Xunzi has made a big step forward than Mencius, and has shown the progressive side of the human race. The proposal of following the king after him has broadened the holy way of the human race.

Mencius did not have the holy way of "following the king after him", which gave the Xun family an advantage to attack the Meng family. The Meng family had to resist, resulting in the two scholars arguing for hundreds of years over "following the king before" and "following the king after".

This Meng Jingye obviously supports the more backward "following the king before" thought, but in the end he won the "following the king after" thought supported by the Xun family in the literary debate, which shows his strength.

As a person with a vision that can penetrate history, Fang Yun is more tolerant, so he naturally supports the idea of ​​following the king before and following the king after, and stands on the side of the Xun family.

However, this involves the dispute between the two families' holy ways, and Fang Yun will never participate unless it is necessary.

Twelve university scholars flew over the valley on the Pingbu Qingyun, all lowered their heads and scanned the people in the valley, and the twelve people's eyes were focused on the six university scholars, and none of them paid attention to Fang Yun who was wearing Hanlin clothes and disguised.

The six university scholars were born and raised in the Xuemang Ancient Land, and they had some aversion to the people of Shengyuan Continent, but when they saw the university scholar of the Meng family flying over, they instinctively took the initiative to bow.

That was the university scholar of the sub-sage family!

The leader Meng Jingye nodded slightly, as a greeting. Among the other eleven people, except for five people who bowed in return, the rest looked at the valley coldly and stood on Pingbu Qingyun without moving.

The Xuemang Ancient Land hated Shengyuan Continent, and Shengyuan Continent also vilified the Xuemang Ancient Land, and the contradiction between the two sides was deep.

Fang Yun glanced at the twelve people. Except for four university scholars of the Meng family, the rest were not surnamed Meng, and they were all relatives or good friends of the Meng family.

There are many Jinshi Hanlin in Shengyuan Continent, Fang Yun has memorized them all, but the number of Grand Secretaries and Great Confucianists is limited, so he remembers them more clearly. Especially for Grand Secretaries and Great Confucianists, there are portraits of them in Jingguo, so even if it is the first time they meet, Fang Yun can guess roughly.

After the twelve Grand Secretaries flew away, Yun Zhaochen and the other six people all had a look of loneliness on their faces.

Compared with the Grand Secretaries of the Sub-Saint Family, the status of the Grand Secretaries of Xuemang Ancient Land is too far behind.

"Probably only Wei Huangan or Mo Yao are worthy of the Grand Secretaries of Meng Family to stay and talk."

"Humph, that may not be the case. They probably don't even take Wei Huangan and Mo Yao seriously. The Sub-Saint Family always has to be a little pompous." Lian Pingchao said sarcastically.

"Fortunately, they didn't send a Great Confucianist, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to drink soup."

"Grand Secretaries are fine. If it was a Great Confucianist, he would probably die here. Even the Demon King might not dare to enter the Dragon Clan Hall, let alone the Great Confucianist. Eh..."

At this moment, the people who monitored the Baofeng tribe sent a message that there was something unusual there.

Everyone immediately took off into the air, and saw the twelve people of the Meng family flying southwest, while the seventeen demon kings of the Baofeng tribe were hanging high in the sky, looking at the twelve scholars of the Meng family from afar.

One of the scholars faced the demon king of the Baofeng tribe with a contemptuous expression, and imitated the gesture of the demon tribe to push his thumb down, making a provocative move.

None of the seventeen demon kings dared to fight!

Even the tribal chief Xiongsha only dared to make a humming sound of anger in his throat, and did not dare to make a move at all.

The seventeen demon kings could basically defeat the seventeen scholars of the Blood Mang Ancient Land, but facing the scholars of the sub-sage family who had just entered the Blood Mang Ancient Land, even if there were only twelve of them, they had no chance of winning.

The demon kings only roared and cursed when the twelve scholars disappeared in the blood-colored mist.

"Wait, wait until they are eroded by the power of the blood mang, that's our chance!"

"Damn the sub-sage family, we must eat them!"

"Eat!" the demon kings roared.

Soon, seventeen demon kings left the camp of the Baofeng tribe and went deep into Fushan Mountain, aiming at the direction where the Meng family's Grand Secretary disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Yun Zhaochen and the other seven people breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the demons would not start a war at this time, and the valley was safe.

Afterwards, Fang Yun and Yun Zhaochen gave Yun He and others some instructions, and then the seven people took off and flew into the depths of Fushan Mountain.

The strong wind in the sky was blocked by Pingbu Qingyun's power.

The red fog of Fushan Mountain was much thicker than elsewhere. The sky and the earth seemed to be an inverted red barrel. The scenery in the distance could not be seen, which made people feel suffocated.

"Zhaochen, are we going to the direction of the Meng family, or looking for our own direction?" Liu Shan asked.

"I suspect that the Meng family has known a certain entrance for a long time, this group of traitors." Lian Pingchao looked gloomy. Since the Meng family appeared, he has been depressed. He is the person who hates Shengyuan Continent the most.

Yun Zhaochen said: "Tell me."

The six people started to discuss, and Fang Yun kept silent.

Finally, the six scholars reached a consensus that following the Meng family was impolite in itself, and it would be even more problematic if they encountered the seventeen demon kings of the Baofeng tribe.

"Yun Fang, what do you think?" Yun Zhaochen finally asked Fang Yun.

"The six gentlemen are right, and I have no objection." Fang Yun said.

The other five scholars said nothing, and they all felt that Yun Fang was at least not stupid.

"Well, then we will fly in other directions. If we encounter other people or demons, we will avoid them immediately. However, no one is stupid enough to start a war before the Dragon Clan Hall officially appears."

The seven people immediately changed direction and flew to the depths of Fushan Mountain.

Fushan Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, with complex terrain, like a dark dragon lying in the blood mist.

Along the way, they met two more teams, one of which was composed of eight scholars, who were the city lords of the rear area and the rear city. The two sides just exchanged polite greetings and separated.

Afterwards, they encountered the "Hundred Demon Tribe", one of the ten major tribes. This tribe was also led by a bear demon, but nearly half of them were other demon tribes, and there was even a human rebel.

This team of the Hundred Demon Tribe consisted of fourteen demon kings and one rebel.

After the two sides met, they looked at each other coldly and finally moved away.

After a long time, everyone continued to fly, the sky and the earth shook, the blood mist rolled, and the breath of destruction spread throughout the entire Blood Mang Ancient Land.

A huge palace appeared above the Blood Mang Ancient Land.

The blood mist had not dissipated, but everyone could see the palace, which was extremely magical.

"Dragon Clan Palace!"
