More than half a month has passed,
At this time, the old site of Xuanhuo Sect has been greatly changed.
Picturesque attics and pavilions are everywhere, perfectly suited to the aesthetic taste of a disciple of the novelist.
Wait until Jiang Chen led several of his beloved disciples to the guest loft.
I saw no less than ten people already waiting inside.
Among these ten people, there were six white-haired old men, two middle-aged Confucian scholars, and two young Confucian scholars who seemed to be about the same age as Li Baiyin and others.
"Old Confucian from Mount Jiuheng has met the Taoist Master!"
"The old Confucian from Dongyue Lishan has met the Taoist Master!"
...
Although a group of Confucian scholars had been waiting for a long time, they had many complaints in their hearts.
But at this time, I still introduced myself very politely.
After all, they were asking for help from Jiang Chen on this trip, and they obviously knew better than anyone else where they were.
"Excuse me, great Confucians. Novelists and other Confucians belong to the same source. They all belong to the same lineage of literature and Taoism."
"If you have any questions, just tell me. If the novelist can help, I will definitely not refuse."
Jiang Chen smiled and motioned for these people to sit down and talk.
The people on the other side had a pretty good attitude when they saw Jiang Chen, and their somewhat annoyed moods gradually calmed down as they looked at each other.
You must know that they went all the way to Haizhou before to find Jiang Chen.
Who would have thought that Jiang Chen would go to Shanhai Pavilion instead, and then lead the novelist's disciples to destroy Red Maple Valley.
I thought I would be able to find Jiang Chen by changing direction from Shanhai Pavilion to Red Maple Valley.
Unexpectedly, after arriving there, he was told by a disciple of the novelist group that Jiang Chen had led many disciples to the Xuanhuo Sect hundreds of miles away.
I don’t know how long I walked in this roundabout way.
Even good-tempered scholars like them could no longer bear it.
If Jiang Chen is still not seen in Xuanhuo Sect this time, maybe some of them will burst out uncontrollably, put aside their dignity as a Confucian scholar and directly curse.
"I waited for the great scholars from several places to find Fellow Daoist Jiang, just to ask Fellow Daoist Jiang to show his respect."
"Temporarily limit the expansion speed of the novelist's disciples!"
"Perhaps Daoyou Jiang doesn't know yet, but where we are now, nearly 70% of the disciples who respect the teachings of Confucianism have already studied the morality of the novelist."
"If it continues to develop, I'm afraid our Confucianism and Taoism for several generations will be completely cut off soon."
The old man who looked the most prestigious came out first, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Although they know that it is embarrassing to speak out about this matter, they are willing to pay any price in order to keep Confucianism together for generations.
This is why a group of people went through many twists and turns and finally came to Xuanhuo Gate to see Jiang Chen.
It can be seen that these people attach great importance to this matter, even above everything else.
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment and then said: "We all have the same origin. Although I am the Taoist master of the novelist group, my will to preach the novelist's teachings has always been left to the disciples below."
"In other words, their responsibilities are equivalent to those of your disciples in preaching, and there is no bullying or use of power to pressure others."
"If some Confucian and Taoist strands are cut off due to the emergence of novelists, it only shows that they still have many shortcomings."
"Even if it is buried in the long river of time, it is natural."
"You are all great Confucian scholars, and you are all highly virtuous and respected wise men among Confucian scholars. Can't you even see through this?"
Jiang Chen's words contained a hint of severe questioning.
It's not that Jiang Chen is hostile to these people, it's that he feels that Confucian scholars in the Confucian sect shouldn't be so petty.
But then I thought about it, my own Confucian tradition was about to be cut off.
Although he said that, Jiang Chen felt that it was not necessary to be so harsh when facing these scholars.
Wen Dao should help each other even more. After all, compared to other avenues, Wen Dao does not have an advantage.
Especially Wen Dao, a rising star...
"this..."
Jiang Chen's words left these people speechless, and they all lowered their heads in shame.
Even the Confucian wise men didn’t know how to answer Jiang Chen’s question.
However, Jiang Chen's expression gradually softened.
Then he said, "There's no need to worry, you all are from the same lineage of Literary Taoism. Naturally, this Taoist master doesn't want to see your Taoist lineage cut off."
"This Taoist suddenly thought of a good idea, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."
Jiang Chen glanced around at the ten Confucian scholars, and then smiled.
"Oh? Dao Master Jiang, just say so!"
The leader of the old man heard a flash of light in his eyes and urged quickly.
The rest of the people also focused their gazes on Jiang Chen.
"Nowadays, my novelist group has spread all over the Shenxiao Dynasty, and is deeply favored by the royal family."
"Even if you take some measures at this time, they will not help you get the most effective relief."
"My method is to have the rest of your Confucian sects all join forces with my novelist, and merge all the private schools in the major cities with my novelist.
As for your Confucian tradition, the novelist will use it as a concurrent path for disciples to choose. "
Jiang Chen directly expressed his thoughts.
"This, this is impossible!"
"If this is the case, then the rest of our Confucian tradition will have to be completely assimilated by novelists."
At this moment, one of the middle-aged Confucian scholars was the first to stand up and object.
Another middle-aged Confucian scholar and two young Confucian scholars were deep in thought at the moment, neither of them said anything.
As for the remaining six old men, their eyes were slightly narrowed, and they were all secretly thinking about the pros and cons.
"No!"
"My novelist disciples are spread all over the world, and I take into account all the ways of cultivation in the world, which shows that I am inclusive."
"The orthodoxy of each Confucian school is the same. The only way to maintain it is to rely on novelists."
"This is not because I want to annex you, but because the novelist wants to help you continue."
Jiang Chen looked seriously at the Confucian wise men in front of him and said in a voice that was unquestionable.
"Master Jiang, the juniors can't see through all this, don't blame them."
"I am the one who makes the decision here. If the Taoist Master is willing, we are all willing to attach ourselves to the novelist and coexist with him."
The leader of the old man was silent for a long time, and then he seemed to make up his mind and spoke.
The other five old men behind him saw this and didn't say much. It was obvious that they had the same idea.
Indeed, today's novelists are at their peak, and they simply do not care about the proportion of Confucianism and Taoism among their disciples.
This is just to help their other Confucian traditions to survive and not be cut off.
In this way, Jiang Chen signed a contract with these people under the witness of a group of Confucian wise men.
The content is probably that the novelist is willing to open other Confucianism and Taoist learning and practice in his schools in various cities.
Although these concurrent Confucian traditions are not as good as those of novelists.
But it is a good choice as a concurrent major.
