"Smart, wise, and fruitful?"
Chen Yue, who had just entered the shrine, heard a voice.
This is an assessment of Chen Yue's true heart.
Chen Yue's eyes looked around, looking at everything around him. He saw only dots of stars, closely arranged. These layers were layered one after another, forming the bottom layer of the palace. According to Chen Yue's rough calculation, on the first layer About sixty thousand.
After walking down the ninth floor like this, the number should be 540,000.
Chen Yue remembered the arrangement of the shrine and walked towards the next level. When he came to the door, he responded and said, "It's quality."
In this sentence, is intelligence really determined by a person’s talent?
Chen Yue recognized talent, because people are born with some cleverness and some stupidity.
"Is benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom the fruit of nature?"
Just after entering the second level, Chen Yue immediately heard a shout.
This sentence is saying, benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom, are these things human nature?
Chen Yue looked around, memorizing the structure of the second level of the shrine, and at the same time walked towards the next level. Before entering the third level, he responded to the voice: "Non-sexual."
After arriving at the third level of the palace, the arrangement of the stars here is different from before. The surrounding stars are constantly rotating and staggered regularly. Even the path under the feet is constantly changing.
In the movement of the stars, a face seemed to condense in the void, conducting an academic discussion with Chen Yue.
"Why is intelligence and wisdom not the essence of nature?"
"Why is benevolence, justice, propriety, and wisdom not a person's nature?"
Each of these faces asked Chen Yue one after another.
"I don't like to talk about xinxing."
Facing these questions, Chen Yue said calmly: "These things are reasonable for both the public and the mother-in-law. There is no established answer at all. If you really want to talk to me, talk to me about something real."
"Smartness, wisdom, benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom are all too general."
Chen Yue's eyes have always been on the movements of the stars. While carefully recording the movements of the stars, he said: "If you want to educate me, tell me the books you created during your lifetime, and let me read and learn from them." For some of your wisdom, if it is an assessment, it would be better to come up with something with standard answers."
It's hard for Chen Yue to win with such vague things.
Even if you win, the other party may not be convinced.
When Chen Yue said this, the voices in the third floor were silenced, and Chen Yue himself sat in the third floor for thirteen days before he could see the laws of the stars' movement, and then stayed there for another thirteen days. After confirming that everything was in order, we entered the fourth floor.
"Does the cultivation of literature and Taoism not depend on external pursuits?"
In this fourth level, a voice asked.
The cultivation of Confucianism is about righteousness and sincerity. Therefore, the person who asked about this sentence thinks that the cultivation of literature and Taoism should be about polishing one's own state of mind.
"no."
Chen Yue denied it, and then argued: "These handprints in the place of origin prove that the cultivation of literature is to seek external power, and the original intention should be related to controlling power."
While speaking, Chen Yue looked at the fourth floor of the palace. There were densely packed thin threads between the stars here, and they were carefully woven together, allowing the infinite starlight to flow between each other.
After fully memorizing the fourth level of the shrine, Chen Yue felt some power stirring in his heart.
While pondering the changes in power within his body, Chen Yue arrived at the fifth level.
Place of origin.
Gao Huaizhang and Chen Bo were both here, watching Chen Yue's mental projection, and there was a dreamlike palace in the void.
"Chen Yue's speed is faster than I thought."
Gao Huaizhang saw Chen Yue climbing up one after another and said to Chen Bo.
"of course!"
Chen Bo said affirmatively: "I have been practicing in literature for so many years. There is only one person like my son in the world who can obtain sufficient sources of literature based entirely on his own talents."
Gao Huaizhang couldn't help but nodded.
The general practice of literary and Taoism is to first study, take the imperial examination, and correct one's mind, and then rely on the literary resources mastered by Confucianism to start practicing step by step. However, Chen Yue relied on one method to surpass many of the limitations of literary and Taoist practice.
"So at this time, I led him to the place of origin."
Gao Huaizhang said: "I'm really afraid that you will lead him to the Shura Sect while he continues to practice."
When Chen Bo heard this, he quickly denied it and said: "My son has the qualifications of a literary sage. He has practiced in literature and Taoism for a long time. Why should I lead him to the Shura Sect?"
Gao Huaizhang smiled.
"When did you notice my son?"
Chen Bo asked.
"I noticed him when he went to Tiangongyuan and created the compound bow, the printing press, and when he got Tiangongyuan to start making toilet paper."
At this time, First Kun spoke calmly and said: "As for the printing of the Nine Confucian Classics, Gao Huaizhang went to see him. It was the first time we reviewed him, and Chen Yue's performance was perfect, especially his talent. To be able to compose an ancient poem like "Guan Ju"."
Compound bow, printing press.
When Chen Bo heard this, he sighed with emotion.
As for Chen Yue's perfect performance, Chen Bo thought of the various rehearsals Chen Yue had done with him in private after he thought about possibly facing Gao Huaizhang. There were a lot of emotional cards involved.
"So after you saw my son's pioneering lineage and confirmed that he indeed has this power, you began to absorb my son."
Chen Bo said cheerfully.
"This also gives Chen Yue a chance."
Gao Huaizhang said: "He created a family line. We can't determine what the future of this line will be, so we brought him to the place where literature and Tao began, where Confucian saints realized Taoism, and let Chen Yue find his own path here. road."
During this chat, Chen Yue in the shrine had already passed the fifth level and entered the sixth level.
Chen Yue has completed the assessment of the guardian lineage.
When Chen Bo saw this, a happy smile appeared on his face.
"I heard you say that the nature of the mind is discussed here, and what my son dislikes the most is the discussion in this aspect."
Chen Bo said cheerfully: "To this day, I won't hide it from you. What my son cares about is victory. Now with his speed, it will be easy to enter the eighth level of the Wen Palace."
When Gao Huaizhang was in the third realm, he accepted the assessment and entered the eighth level of the palace.
Chen Yue is now in the fourth realm, and his upward climb is still extremely fast. Therefore, it is not a problem to break through to the Eighth Palace in a short period of time.
Won again!
Chen Bo smiled happily.
"uncertain."
Gao Huaizhang said: "In fact, the highest level that can be entered by climbing into this palace is the sixth level. After reaching the sixth level, the questions faced are the sum of the previous questions, and after answering, the divine thoughts inside Depending on the degree of completion of your answer, the seventh, eighth, or even ninth level doors will be opened."
“The real gap is also created at this time.”
"The sixth level is already the end of Chen Yue's climb."
In the shrine, Chen Yue was memorizing the arrangement of stars around him, and at the same time he also heard the rules of the shrine.
After passing the sixth level of assessment, the top ones can enter the ninth level, the top ones can enter the eighth level, the middle ones can enter the seventh level, and the bottom ones will stop in the sixth palace.
"Intelligence is determined by talent, and benevolence, justice, etiquette, and wisdom are not a person's nature."
"So, how can the world be unified?"
The god also gave his own answer when he asked this question.
In his answer, intelligence, benevolence, justice, etiquette and wisdom are all personal nature. Through continuous practice, even a foolish person can be as intelligent as a smart person, and even an evil person can be Influenced by benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, if the temperament of the world is harmonious, the world will be peaceful for a long time.
"There is no need to deliberately seek unity between human intelligence and human kindness and evil."
After seeing this, Chen Yue said: "The world is inherently diverse. Some people who are unwilling to learn will naturally have their own happy place in their hearts and a place for their souls to stay. There is no need to destroy it. People must be willing to learn. Learn to become a sage."
"Although I also like the idea that everyone is like a dragon, this idea requires a good society to operate for a long time before it can be achieved."
"If there is a king, he must be benevolent from generation to generation."
What Chen Yue said is from the Analects of Confucius.
If there really is a king who practices good governance, it must be implemented continuously for thirty years before society can have essential changes.
"What does your [Hou Ren] look like?"
the spirit asked.
Chen Yue took a deep breath and thought about the emperor of the current dynasty, the rebellion in the future, and what the world should be like in the future.
If I give you some red directly, you might think it’s too radical...
Chen Yue considered the acceptance level of the gods here, and then said: "That is walking the great road!"
"On the journey of the great road, the world is for the common good!"
Chen Yue said aloud.
At this moment, the palace was shaken. These four words "the world is for the common good" were deafening!
The many ills of the Taiyuan Dynasty can be solved with these four words: "The world is for the public"!
This article comes from the Book of Rites, which Chen Yue learned early in his textbook.
The concept of a harmonious society is also the fundamental pursuit of Confucianism in another world.
Chen Yue confided all this. This was also Chen Yue's original intention. There was nothing to hide at all.
He founded Donglin Weekly at the beginning, and then distributed the money to more people. He also later created Donglin Academy to allow poor students to study, and later founded the Sanatorium to provide support for the elderly. Children can be nurtured.
These are all heading towards the Datong society in Chen Yue's heart.
"Select the worthy and capable, be trustworthy and cultivate harmony."
The world is for the common good, and the wise and capable are selected. This is the program of the Datong society.
"Therefore, people do not only care for their relatives, nor do they only have children for their children, so that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, the young will have their own growth, the humble, the widowed, the lonely, the disabled, and the disabled will all be supported, the men will have their share, and the women will have their homes. .”
"There is no need to hide the goods on the ground if they are disgusted; there is no need to hide them within oneself; if the power is harmful to them, they do not come from the body, so there is no need to do it for oneself."
This is the basic characteristic of Datong society.
"It is because people seek to be closed but not prosper, because they steal and cause chaos but not commit crimes, and because people are outside but not closed. This is called Datong."
This is the ultimate vision of a Datong society.
Every time Chen Yue recited a sentence, the shrine trembled. When Chen Yue finished reciting this article, the whole shrine was filled with mountains and tsunami!
The ninth level, which has never been opened since ancient times, trembled at this moment!
