Du Chengfeng had long wanted to try to understand the serious methods of cultivation in this world.
Although he had recognized Ruan Shantao as his teacher before, the old man disappeared before he could teach him. Therefore, the path he is taking now is still the most basic one, which is to increase his strength by killing people - but now he is running eastward. After running west for a while, he already knew that killing was not the only way to become stronger in this world.
For example, Ruan Shantao himself has never killed anyone in his life and is still extremely powerful. Or the prairie people's war drums and horns, which are another way to control evil spirits, or Liu Bolun's self-brewed wine that can suppress the evil spirits of weapons. Or maybe those so-called "immortal cultivators" in Taiyin Mountain had their own special methods.
Obviously, apart from murder, which is the most obvious path but also has the most obvious consequences, everyone seems to have other options.
And this is what Du Chengfeng is most interested in.
"Just think it's to give me a little more confidence when I fight against the imperial master."
Du Chengfeng looked at Liu Bolun sincerely.
"Please guide me. Please tell me what skills are taught in the Imperial Academy in Jiankang City."
"this……"
Liu Bolun began to scratch his head.
"It's a good thing that you are interested in learning, but are you really ready to learn from scratch? Let me tell you first, at your age, I'm afraid you won't be able to cultivate any poetry or calligraphy."
"……Let me try?"
Even though Liu Bolun said this, Du Chengfeng was still a little unwilling to give up.
If you don’t try, how will you know you’re not good?
"Then let me help you find a sage's book."
Seeing that Du Chengfeng still insisted, Liu Bolun went out and asked someone to get a book of sages.
And Du Chengfeng was exposed to something that could be seriously called "teaching material" in this world for the first time.
It is said that before Chu conquered the world, there was a period of time when many kingdoms were established. At that time, there was a coastal country in the southeast, and this sage came from a place called Lincang on the edge of this coastal country. .
What the sage was called is no longer known. After all, when Chu conquered the world, even the country where the sage came from was also wiped out. Obviously, facing the sharp military fronts of the Chu people, The sages' books were of no use, and even the inheritance of knowledge was almost cut off.
But later, after conquering the world, Da Chu finally used this teaching book.
"Because all the classics at that time were more functional. Although you can learn various techniques from reading them, the only thing you can learn is the techniques."
Having said this, Liu Bolun pointed to the book in his hand.
"Only this sage's book can guide people to be good and teach them how to behave."
After saying that, Liu Bolun, who was drinking, sighed, seeming to be recalling those ancient times.
"Da Chu indeed conquered the world, but they who founded the country by force can only teach warriors. But you also know that if everyone is a warrior and everyone has swords and guns in their hands, then the world will be in trouble. Time has passed...you are from Jibei, you should understand what I am talking about, right?"
Of course Du Chengfeng knew what Liu Bolun was talking about. Although strictly speaking, he had not been active in Jibei for a long time, the simple folk customs there where he was always ready to chop with knives left a deep impression on him. impression.
Even the predators from Nanchen find it difficult to enforce the law on the northern border. The level of chaos is evident.
So you really need to have some rules, even if it's just the most basic order.
Just like what Old Ruan Shantao did in Yanzhou City.
Therefore, the former great Chu finally used this teaching book. However, the people of Chu were not unprepared for this book about the former enemy country - they erased the country originally recorded in the book, and even erased the name that was written down, leaving only the "sage" Two words are used as its title, and part of the content is deleted, leaving only the way of benevolence and righteousness that leads people to do good.
Chu people felt that they had done a perfect job. They not only obtained a piece of knowledge that could be used to enlighten people, but also eliminated possible future troubles. As for the book itself, it was just a scroll that taught people to become benevolent and righteous gentlemen, and what was written in it was also It's just some general principles, what use can this thing have? Can it be compared to the spears of Chu warriors?
However, what Churen didn't expect was that the problem also lay here.
The people of Chu erased the name originally recorded, leaving only the word "sage" as a pronoun. However, this word "sage" aroused the infinite reverie of these scholars - who is the sage? What is a sage? How do you become a sage? What does a sage look like?
"According to records, they were the first people to cultivate the righteousness of poetry and calligraphy."
Liu Bolun's drunken eyes were hazy, as if he had seen the predecessors and sages of the past.
"Bao Chu erased the names of the saints, but instead allowed them to be more exposed to that mysterious and mysterious situation... Then, with the efforts of generations of scholars, they finally destroyed the cruel Bao Chu and established the later Yu Chao."
"Um……"
Du Chengfeng was silent for a moment.
He didn't know very well how hard the scholars worked, but just looking at Ruan Shantao would tell how far the scholars could go - if they were a group of old men holding square swords, they would indeed be an incredible fighting force.
"So, what happened next?"
"later……"
Liu Bolun's face darkened.
Like all stories, the ending seems to be happy - but obviously, for those who read, although Baochu's destruction is the end, it is also another beginning.
From that moment on, these scholars were finally able to practice their benevolence and righteousness, and finally they were able to spread the ideas of the sages in their hearts to the world, just like the sages they once admired in the book, but this time, it was their turn to It is time for them to teach all peoples like the sages of old.
However, that's where the problem lies.
Although they all read the books of sages, each of them has a different understanding of the books of sages.
So, who among them is closer to that sage?
"That was a more brutal battle than the annihilation of Baochu... So now in Da Chen, the school of thought is no longer popular. They all give you a book of sages, and whatever you can see will be ignored."
With that said, Liu Bolun handed the scroll to Du Chengfeng.
"Try it and see if you can experience that mysterious and mysterious feeling."
"I……"
Du Chengfeng tried to read the book in his hand.
Regarding literacy and reading, he has already asked Liu Bolun for advice. There is no obstacle to reading this book now. As for the content... it is no problem to read it. After all, the content of this book is not complicated. It is basically a dialogue between sages and disciples, talking about how a person can become a benevolent and righteous gentleman.
But he had never felt that mysterious and mysterious feeling.
"Am I not sincere?"
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but think of the time when he was in Taiyin Mountain. He still remembered that it was like this. He had been reading the scriptures for several days, but he didn't feel anything at all...
"Wait!"
As if he thought of something, Du Chengfeng quickly took out his saddlebag and came over.
Opening the package, Du Chengfeng pulled out a brass magic sword.
Yes, now he is not sincere.
But he could at least try and learn how to be sincere.
"I'll read it later. I'll sharpen my sword first."
As he said this, Du Chengfeng had already taken out the whetstone.
And the brass magic sword has been placed on the whetstone by him.
The second update arrived. Because I sorted out the next content distribution, it came a little late. There will be more in a while.
