The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2425 Old peach discussion about sages

Zong Ming and the other two hurriedly lowered their heads, horrified in their hearts.

None of the four expected that Fang Yun would be highly recognized by Zong Sheng in just a few words. Zong Sheng even thought that Fang Yun could discuss "The Analects of Confucius" with him. This was almost the highest praise from the human race, and it was also the reason why Fang Yun read the scriptures. the highest recognition.

Even the Semi-Saint recognized it. Except for Kong Sheng, no one could deny Fang Yun in this regard.

The four of them were thinking about it in their hearts, but they still couldn't understand its meaning.

"The sage's praise cannot be tolerated by students." Fang Yun said modestly.

"Tian Chang's distraction method requires a firm mind and unwavering determination. I think your spiritual thoughts are different, and it seems that you have other opportunities, so it is okay to learn this technique. However, you need to go to Lu Sheng's family and read "Lv Sheng" "The original version of "Shi Chun Qiu" can be mastered."

After saying that, Zong Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed it at Fang Yun's eyebrows.

The two of them were obviously less than ten feet apart, but Fang Yun felt as if that finger was thousands of miles away.

A bit of spiritual light flew from Zongsheng's fingertips and fell into Fang Yunwen Palace.

Fang Yun sat there blankly, his eyes empty, his spiritual thoughts had wrapped up the spiritual light, and he began to learn the Tianchang distraction method.

Slowly, it gets dark.

Fang Yun remained motionless, Zong Sheng still sat there drinking tea, and the other four people did not dare to move rashly.

Wait until dawn, nothing has changed.

A total of three days and three nights passed before Fang Yun blinked his eyes, his eyes filled with joy.

"Thank you, Mr. Moju, for your advice." Fang Yun said.

"snort!"

Zong Sheng snorted coldly, waved his hand again, and saw a little silver light flying into Fang Yun's eyebrows, and then walked away with a flick of his sleeves and stepped into the void without a trace.

When the silver light fell on Fang Yunwen Palace, it turned into fragments of Wenqu Star, flew upwards, and merged into the miniature Wenqu Star.

Fang Yun stood up, bowed deeply in the direction where Zong Sheng disappeared, then continued to sit on Wuhou's car and left the old Taoju.

After exiting the gate of Jiantaoju, Fang Yun was about to fly away, but suddenly stopped and looked at Zong Ming.

"If you are stuck in studying in the future, you can ask me to help you."

After saying that, Fang Yun took Wuhou's car and left.

Zong Ming bowed deeply to bid farewell to Fang Yun. When Fang Yun left, he looked helpless and said, "Three gentlemen, I have nothing to do with Fang Yun!"

The three of them didn't care, they were just thinking.

One person said: "Listen to the meaning of the words of our ancestors, if you choose one sentence in the Analects as the best, it must be the sentence 'When you see the virtuous, think about it; when you see the virtuous, you should introspect yourself', and Fang Yun... Ahem, Fang Xusheng actually has the same idea as the ancestor hero. If the ancestor asked you, what sentence would you choose? "

The clan members are used to calling Fang Yun by his name and rarely use the honorific title, but now they mention Fang Yun together with the clan saint. If the other party does not use the honorific title, it will lower the clan saint's status and they have to respect him as a false saint.

The other three shook their heads slightly and remained silent.

"The sentence 'When you see the virtuous, you think about it; when you see the virtuous, you introspect yourself' is not controversial. But what does Fang Xusheng mean when he says, 'The virtuous are not the same as the good, and the understanding is not the same as the improvement'? In my opinion, Come, say a word to a wise man, it is no different from a word to three people."

The four of them thought for a moment, and Zong Ming suddenly said: "A good person may not be a virtuous person."

The three bachelors' eyes lit up.

"Your understanding is indeed extraordinary. This is the finishing touch that breaks through the clouds. Wise people are capable, and good people are more inclined to benevolent."

"That's right. In the Analects of Confucius, the previous chapter about meeting the virtuous and thinking about them is about the difference between a gentleman and a villain; and the previous chapter about three people walking together talks about monsters, power, chaos, and gods. The virtuous and the gentleman echo each other, The response between goodness and chaos should be slightly different."

"Although there are good people in the three walks of life, it is difficult to be canonized. The sage is different. If the person who is called a sage is not a famous scholar, he is a great Confucian, and is naturally higher than the good."

Zong Ming said: "The good will lead to the wise, and the wise will lead to the saints!"

The four of them suddenly realized something and were overjoyed.

“What about introspection and change?”

Zong Ming said: "Every wise man has his own holy way. If you see that you are not worthy, you can just know it in your heart, and you may change it naturally, or you may not need to change it."

But another great scholar said: "There is some unexplained truth in this statement. What you are virtuous may not be virtuous to me; what I am virtuous may not be virtuous to you. For example, among various schools of thought, there are naturally contradictory and controversial things. . Therefore, Fang Xusheng said that self-examination is enough, and you must not change it at will. Things that can be changed are small virtues, but self-examination and no change are great virtues!"

"That's right!"

"But why do these two gentlemen think so much of each other when they read The Analects of Confucius?" Zong Ming was puzzled.

The three bachelors looked at each other and couldn't answer immediately. The four of them discussed for a long time before they got some ideas.

"We have not yet become great Confucians, but we are blinded by a leaf and cannot see Mount Tai, but hard work can make up for our weakness. Based on everyone's opinions, the greatest possibility is that there are thousands of ways in the Analects, including political affairs, gentlemanly affairs, benevolence, virtue, and righteousness. It is difficult to fully understand the beauty of being polite, and it is also wonderful for three people to practice. The Tao is also wonderful and wonderful, but it is only suitable for people like us who have no hope of becoming a saint. Those who are talented like the ancestors and Fang Yun can fully understand the beauty of the whole book and have their own holy way. The holy path cannot be found in the book, so I choose to see the wise and think about the same. It is the common way to the holy path, and it is not a specific path."

Zong Ming suddenly said with joy: "This must be the truth. From this point of view, there are three studies in the Analects, which are advanced in order. The first is to learn and practice from time to time, the second is to learn from others when walking together, and the third is to think of others when they meet the wise! The next one is: The one who understands people, the one who understands the wise, and the one who excels understands the saints.”

After Zong Ming finished speaking, the heaven and earth shook slightly, and a faint voice sounded in the sky, repeating what Zong Ming had just said.

Then, a small dragon gate rose in the small river outside Jiudaoshan.

The sound of the avenue.

"Good!" The three bachelors were pleasantly surprised. They did not expect that the Zong family would produce such a talented person. In time, he would become a great Confucian, and even be called a Wenzong literary giant. Even if he could be canonized, there would be some chance.

The starlight in Old Taoshan Chinese Song was suddenly intense, and then, a silver beam of light fell on Zong Ming, and then disappeared immediately.

The three bachelors were stunned for a moment, looking at each other with shock in their eyes.

Zong Ming didn't think much about it, but sighed: "The difference between me and Fang Xusheng is more than ten thousand miles, and we are separated by ten thousand worlds. Let us chew on the scraps of his chat with the ancestors, and then we can get the sound of the great road. If it can be fully revealed I think, I am afraid that the world will be shaken. Only then did I realize that the two of them had learned the essence of their old discussions about virtuous people and had carefully considered every word and sentence. They no longer used their words to show off, and had long since surpassed the realm of inspiring the sound of the Dao. Even if the name is destroyed, the river will not flow forever!"

The three great scholars thought of something else. Although the sound of the Great Dao was rare, it would occasionally occur as long as the great Confucian was accomplished. It had appeared in Shu a few days ago. However, after Fang Yun promised to solve Zong Ming's doubts, Zong Ming became the star of Wenqu. This thing was too weird.

A bachelor said hurriedly: "The Zong family has long been unable to learn Fangxu's holy war poems, and even if they learned it, they would not be able to use it. You have learned "Arrow in the Stone", give it a try."

Zong Ming immediately recited "The Arrow in the Stone".

When the poem is completed, an arrow hangs in the air, and murderous intent surges.

The three bachelors all tried, but none succeeded.

Zong Ming suddenly woke up and sighed: "I only knew that my ancestor had a broad mind and could accommodate Fang's luck and bestow him with holy skills. I never thought that Fang Xusheng also had such a mind, which is admirable."

A great scholar couldn't hide his admiration and said: "It is easy to know and think of the wise, but it is difficult to see the wise and think of the wise. Fang Yun, this person, is really a peerless person, unmatched in all the world!"

There are often network problems at home in the middle of the night. If I write late, I often cannot post it and have to wait until the next day. Sometimes I get stuck and write it very late, so that I am confused, and even the checking process is confused. I don’t dare to post it randomly, so I get up in the morning and check it again and correct some before uploading. Therefore, sometimes posting is delayed until the next morning. Lao Huo would like to apologize. You don’t have to wait at night, you can basically watch it in the morning.

Well, the main event before canonization has begun.
