“How can people be useful if we don’t spread useful knowledge?”
In the governor's house, Zhang Xuezhou was shocked, but he also raised a question that Dong Zhongshu needed to think about.
Before the Qin Dynasty, the jurisdiction of knowledge was not so strict, but this also resulted in conquests that had never been separated for hundreds of years.
Each side believes that they are the children of destiny, and each side feels that they are the strongest.
It was an extremely dark time, with people fighting almost every moment, and monks constantly ascending.
Those were the years when cultivation science was extremely prosperous, which gave birth to countless new contents, but also brought countless disasters.
Healing techniques such as Taiqing Zhenshu are not new in recent years, and the practice of destroying living beings is not just one or two, but has become an almost universal behavior.
In the era of the unification of the Qin Emperor, the Qin Emperor directly carried out a one-size-fits-all approach, gathering the world's cultivation theories to forcibly control them, and even burned many techniques at once.
An era that almost caused a break in cultivation began to take shape.
However, Emperor Qin could only control the Qin Dynasty, but could not control foreign countries, let alone the heavenly forces that would eventually confront him.
After almost losing both sides, the Han Dynasty was born in the gap.
The Qin Dynasty was a unified dynasty for hundreds of years. As the successor, the Han Dynasty obviously followed the Qin Dynasty's system and also implemented strict control.
While continuously eliminating the major schools and sects within the territory of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty also continued to strengthen the control of the court.
But this is far from enough.
Compared with the days when the Qin army's generals were like wolves and tigers, the generals of the Han Dynasty were much weaker.
The country that the Qin Dynasty used to treat as a dead dog can now suppress the Han Dynasty in attacking.
Letting go of the strict control of knowledge would lead to the instability of the Han Dynasty's regime, and eventually return to the dark age of feudal lords' attacks. However, without letting go of knowledge, people would not be able to become useful.
"This requires the court to have a channel to gather talents from all over the world, and it also requires the court to be able to control the corresponding talents." Dong Zhongshu thought and then said: "But people's hearts are different, and there are endless battles in the court. It is impossible to achieve perfect control. It is impossible to stop the war."
"It's really better to listen to your words than just a few words." Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
"Just call me nonsense," Dong Zhongshu said helplessly: "You can't expect me to solve things that His Majesty Qin Emperor hasn't solved yet!"
"If you work hard, maybe one day you will find a solution!"
Zhang Xuezhou shook his head. He was also glad that he did not spread the technique widely when he included private information in the book. If he practiced the Taiqing Zhen technique, he recommended going to the hospital for practice.
Dong Zhongshu's words alerted Zhang Xuezhou and also brought good news.
It’s hard to find spells before entering China, but there are a lot of useless spells in Han after you enter China.
Zhang Xuezhou really likes those useless little abilities.
He doesn't ask for great power, as long as it can be used for performances, that's enough.
He was quite happy to hear this.
For example, a small spark flashes in the hand, or a wooden stick is softened and bent, or a stick of incense is spent to turn a blunt sword into a sharp one...
Each technique is of no use, but each technique has a little magic.
These techniques are at least more reliable than fake ones.
Zhang Xuezhou was thinking about the relationship in his mind, while Dong Zhongshu's eyes were scanning Zhang Xuezhou's body.
Dong Zhongshu's words stimulated Zhang Xuezhou, but Zhang Xuezhou's casual words of encouragement also made Dong Zhongshu's mind shake.
On this continent, there has never been a shortage of powerful monks, but there has always been a lack of monks who can lead the way.
This kind of monk does not belong to a sect of masters, but a monk who can benefit the country and the people.
Dong Zhongshu's highest goal in the past was to become a Confucian master and reproduce the glory of Confucius and Mencius, but Zhang Xuezhou's words mentioned a more ambitious goal.
Is it possible for this generation of the Han Dynasty to solve the problems that Emperor Qin was unable to solve?
"This is an important matter for educating all peoples. Even if it is just the beginning, it may be of immeasurable benefit!"
Dong Zhongshu's eyes were bright and there was an extra light in his eyes.
If he wanted to teach, he obviously needed to select some non-Confucian people for testing.
For example, the disciple of the Yin Yang family in front of me.
If even someone like Zhang Xuezhou couldn't educate, he wouldn't have to think about anything else, let alone use the power of persuasion.
Meeting Zhang Xuezhou unexpectedly again, Dong Zhongshu felt that this was indeed destined.
This may be like the academy built by Wen Weng.
The future is bound to be difficult, but as long as you take it step by step, you may be able to succeed.
Compared with the Ba Snake standing in front of Wen Weng, Dong Zhongshu felt that what was standing in front of him was probably a high mountain.
"You practice the Yin Yang Family Jiutian Sect Realm Technique, and there must be an imbalance of Yin and Yang in your body. You should have endured the hardship of this imbalance!"
After some thought, Dong Zhongshu also turned to the topic of old students and turned to practice, trying to start to build a basic relationship with each other before making plans.
"I have never suffered from the imbalance of yin and yang!"
Asked by Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Xuezhou woke up from his thoughts and quickly waved his hand.
It has to be said that Zhang Xuezhou has experienced many hardships, but he has followed a high-end path in cultivation and is not as miserable as Mu Taoist.
Zhang Xuezhou even had a lot of useful skills, and he did not fall into the situation where low-level monks were inferior to dogs.
He is far from the imbalance of yin and yang mentioned by Dong Zhongshu.
If he had not entered the solitary state, which would lead to the need to further integrate the inheritance of the Nine People Sect, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would not have a problem of yin and yang imbalance.
"How is it possible that there is no hardship?" Dong Zhongshu said in surprise: "If you practice Jiutian Sect Realm Technique, it should be difficult to control the killing technique. You can only build formations and rely on elixirs to defend yourself, but these two are expensive things. , it’s impossible for ordinary people to get started.”
"It's really not that hard!"
"Can you create formations?"
"Won't!"
"Where's the art of alchemy?"
"I've refined a little bit of the Yuanyuan elixir to make it sticky."
"Look!"
Dong Zhongshu spread his hands, indicating that Zhang Xuezhou's ability was not at the level he should have.
If he hadn't obtained the true biography of Chu Bugui, Zhang Xuezhou would be a useless person with no realm at the moment.
Of course, Fu Bugui is also relatively useless in Dong Zhongshu's eyes. If he doesn't fall into the trap of Fu Bugui's formation, Dong Zhongshu would be beating a child if he didn't cheat.
The only commendable thing about Fu Bugui was his alchemy skills, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't even learn the opponent's special skills. He could only refine a few Peiyuan pills used by low-level monks, and even boiled medicinal paste, which was a pure waste of medicinal materials.
"Is this considered a hardship?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.
"If this is not considered hardship, then what is hardship?" Dong Zhongshu said: "Although the spell-casting ability brought by your realm is different from ordinary people, without spells, it is an empty jar, and no wine can be poured out at all!"
"You mean you can teach me a particularly powerful technique?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
"No, no, no, I don't have any powerful techniques!"
Dong Zhongshu shook his head, and then whispered into Zhang Xuezhou's ear.
"But I have a volume of Haoran Zhengqi Jue. If you are successful in practicing, you may be able to balance yin and yang. You can learn any technique." Dong Zhongshu said in a low voice: "This will allow you to break the constraints of practicing killing techniques, and let you have The possibility of normal cultivation."
"Really or not?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
Zhang Xuezhou always felt that Dong Zhongshu was trying to sell things. When he and Dong Zhongshu were on their trip to Lingnan, the other party recommended this method when they were compensating for Lingyu.
But now, Dong Zhongshu is still recommending this method.
But if the law is valuable, Dong Zhongshu should not sell it so easily.
He didn't understand Dong Zhongshu's purpose of doing such a thing.
"It couldn't be more true," Dong Zhongshu said proudly: "Our Confucianism has always been inclusive of all things. Confucius once said that when three people walk together, there must be one teacher. We can learn anything!"
"Is there such an outrageous school of thought?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.
"To tell you the truth, I have learned one hundred and forty-eight techniques, each of which is different. If I really couldn't find any useful techniques, I could continue to learn them." Dong Zhongshu said, "If you don't believe it, teach me I have a technique from the Yin Yang family, and I can show it to you on the same day!"
"Can you really learn any technique?"
"necessary!"
There have always been boundaries between various schools, making it difficult to blend with each other, and students from each school can only learn their own inheritance.
But Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that the Confucian sect where Dong Zhongshu belonged was a bit evil.
This is a school of thought that doesn't care about human nature, and seems to be able to learn anything.
