When Fangcun Mountain was founded, the Qinglong Emperor once sent his envoy, the Great Sage Jianjia, to Fangcun Mountain and presented him with a sycamore tree branch to show that the Wutong Forest valued Fangcun Mountain. It was also at that time that Chen Luo learned that there was still a causal relationship between his master and the Azure Dragon Emperor. This was also the teacher's confidence in allowing him to enter the Southern Wilderness.
The sycamore branches were buried in the ground and became a forest, and a sycamore forest with a radius of dozens of miles grew on Fangcun Mountain. It attracted the moonlight and filtered the essence of the sun. It was a place of cultivation on Fangcun Mountain. In addition, Chen Luo's wonders of the mountains and seas Wen, let Fangcun Mountain be filled with the aura of the wilderness, and become a major spiritual practice holy place in the southern wilderness.
However, the Wutong Forest was closed at this time. In the words of Mastiff Lingling, the great housekeeper of Fangcun Mountain, the mountain owner had to clean up the Wutong Forest for two days.
…
After walking through a winding mountain road and walking along the upstream of Dingdong Mountain Spring, after passing through the garden maintained by the Moon Rabbits, the sycamore forest suddenly opened up in front of us.
Chen Luo walked to the sycamore forest, bowed first and shouted: "Uncle Master, the disciple is here."
After a while, Wen Yunsun's voice came from the sycamore forest: "Come in!"
"Yes." Chen Luo responded and walked into the sycamore forest.
As soon as he entered the woods, Chen Luo's shoulders suddenly felt heavy. He felt that there was an extra power in the sycamore forest. This power was calm but high-spirited, righteous but hard-edged.
"Haoran's righteousness?" Chen Luo was slightly startled. This was Haoran's righteousness, but he, Chen Luo, had never been exposed to such pure Haoran's righteousness.
This righteousness contains three parts of compassion, three parts of elegance, three parts of staunchness, and one part of the majesty of the heaven and earth in one's mind.
"Uncle Wen's awe-inspiring righteousness!" Chen Luo knew it in his heart. He had seen the awe-inspiring righteousness of Master Wen Yan Baichuan, who was open to all rivers; he had also felt the awe-inspiring righteousness of his senior brother, who was running wild and wanton; the awe-inspiring righteousness was closely related to a person's spiritual practice and understanding. , I am afraid that only Wen Tianxiang, who wrote "Who has never died in life since ancient times, will leave a loyal heart to illuminate history" and "Song of Righteousness" can breed such a complex but pure Haoran righteousness.
Chen Luo continued to walk deeper into the Wutong Forest. Every time he walked a certain distance, the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body became heavier, but it did not have any impact on Chen Luo. On the contrary, under the pressure of this awe-inspiring righteousness, the colorful energy in Chen Luo's body The aura of the mortal world became more and more condensed.
It wasn't until he encountered the center of the Wutong Forest that Chen Luo finally saw Wen Yunsun. At this time, Wen Yunsun was wearing the most serious Confucian robe, sitting cross-legged, with a wisp of lighted fragrance in front of him, and on his left hand was a green bamboo.
"Disciple has met Uncle Wen." Chen Luo stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"I pay homage to your master first!" Wen Yunsun tapped the green bamboo beside him and said lightly, "I have known your master as a young man, and this staff was given to you personally by him. Today I will show you the nine thousand miles of Taoism. The rod is a witness.”
"Don't be selfish, don't be disrespectful!"
Chen Luo's face became solemn when he heard this, and he saluted respectfully to the bamboo stick again.
Don't say that Wen Yunsun is pedantic, and his explanation of Nine Thousand Miles is so complicated. In fact, in the final analysis, preaching is not a simple matter, it is about the way of teachers.
When a young child begins to learn literacy, he will be taught by a teacher. The teacher at this time is the mentor. Although being a tutor is important, the threshold does not need to be too high. For example, a tutor in a private school or a teacher from a wealthy family must be able to read, decipher, and understand rhythm.
When a Confucian scholar gets a little older and begins to travel to the mountain of books and cross the sea of learning, he actually begins to come into contact with the truth. Often at this time, he will choose to worship a new teacher, and the influence of this teacher will even last throughout the student's life. Because he teaches the principles of Confucian classics, he is called a Confucian master. There is also a theory of preaching, receiving karma and solving doubts, and is also called a master of practice.
What you learn through reading is the truth, and the essence of preaching is to explain the truth. However, there are thousands of truths in the world, and there are many things that are diametrically opposed to each other. "Two children arguing about the sun" is a classic saying. Therefore, once a Confucian scholar worships a master, there is no special surprise. They will all use the master's principles as the basis, and then elaborate on their own ideas. own reason.
This also highlights the importance of choosing a practitioner. There is often an endless stream of students looking for famous Confucians who want to be their disciples, because their principles can at least prove the way of Confucianism. And if you fail to worship a great Confucian, it is also a good choice to become a disciple of a great Confucian, or even a disciple of a disciple.
Explained from this perspective, it is not difficult to understand why the Fang family's teachings are clearly unpopular, but there are so many people who follow it in the human race.
However, if you have clearly worshiped a master and accept the teachings of others without the consent of your own master, you are likely to get mixed up in the teachings, which may block the way forward at best, or fall into a barrier of consciousness and become obsessed.
The so-called drawing on the strengths of others is something that can only be done by a unique genius, and behind him, there is often a force secretly protecting him.
I recall that when Chen Luo opened the Six Thousand Miles Road, although the Bamboo Sage did not show up in person to explain, he arranged for Song Tuizhi and Yun Siyao to explain Chen Luo's doubts, and later Lang Feixian personally explained the Tianmen. Even though Chen Luo had great scholars like Yan Baichuan and Sima Lie around him at that time, he never said anything.
Therefore, when Wen Yunsun was entrusted this time, he had to be cautious and the etiquette could not be discarded.
Seeing Chen Luo finish his salute, Wen Yunsun's expression relaxed a little, pointed in front of him, and said "sit". When Chen Luo sat down, Wen Yunsun said, "Your master, Bamboo Sage, is currently outside the sky. In the short term, You are not allowed to come back. Langfeixian, the first disciple of the Bamboo Forest and the temporary master of the Bamboo Forest, asked Bai Xiao, the third disciple of the Bamboo Forest, to ask me to explain the way of heaven to you, can you?"
Cultivation is always a private matter, so if Zhulin agrees, Chen Luo needs to agree as well.
"Excuse me, Master Wen, please give me some advice." Chen Luo stood up again, this time saluting his master. Wen Yunsun stretched out his hand and patted Chen Luo's shoulder three times. The master of Youdao nodded on the forehead and patted the shoulder halfway, which was regarded as accepting Chen Luo's gift.
Some people said that it was just the two of them anyway, so just be casual. However, it should be noted that "The Doctrine of the Mean" says: Do not see what is hidden, do not show what is subtle, so a gentleman should be careful about his own actions.
After completing all this, the short ceremony was completed. There was a smile on Wen Yunsun's face, and he motioned Chen Luo to sit down again, saying: "I have never envied anyone else in my life. Even if your teacher took a thousand miles in one step and was canonized thousands of miles away, I never gave birth to a child. Envy."
"But looking at the disciples under him, I am really envious. Even the most incompetent fourth child seems to have a hint of sainthood now, not to mention the other six."
"On the other hand, here with you, I can barely manage to be a half-master, and most of my envy has disappeared."
Chen Luo laughed when he heard this and said, "Uncle Master, you are so complimentary."
Wen Yunsun waved his hand: "Okay, let's talk about the gossip later and get back to the topic."
"There are only a few types of cultivation in this world."
"Monster clan, follow the path of bloodline, activate the potential of bloodline step by step, and turn into the ancestral monster of the ancient times."
"The barbarians, take the road of sacrifice and seize the power of the sky as the core, in exchange for the power of the barbarian sky."
"Human race, follow the path of Yawen. Regardless of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and even your current martial arts, they all use Yawen Dao as a medium to attract the power of heaven."
"But among them, only the human race's Yawen Avenue is full of infinite possibilities."
Chen Luo was stunned: "Infinite possibilities?"
Wen Yunsun nodded and continued: "The demon clan will eventually be trapped in the bloodline, and the barbarians can only surrender to the barbarian sky, while the essence of the human race's Yawen Dao is derived from the sky and ultimately transcends the sky."
Chen Luo was suddenly shocked: Detached?
"What's so strange?" Wen Yunsun smiled faintly, "Your teacher is now fighting demons outside the world, far away from this world. The power of heaven is weak, but it is still strong. Why? It is precisely because he does not rely much on heaven's way that he has transcended heaven."
Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, it was this detachment!
I thought it was that detachment.
"Uncle Wen means that when you reach the level of my teacher, you no longer need to draw strength from the way of heaven?"
Wen Yunsun shook his head lightly: "I haven't reached that point yet, so I can't tell you anything, but even if I still need the support of heaven, I guess it won't be much."
"In this regard, the Taoist sect is more free and easy. They are devoted to the cultivation of the soul, and they have suffered tribulations along the way. They are almost cultivating against the will of heaven. Therefore, it is easier to escape from the heavenly way than the Confucian sect. In addition, the soul is tough and difficult to be deceived by the devil."
"That's right. The battlefield in Tianwai is dominated by the Taoist sect, and our Confucian sect is the supplementary one."
After hearing Wen Yunsun's words, Chen Luo suddenly realized that it was no wonder that it was rare to see Taoist masters in the world. He had been thinking that even if he wanted to suppress Yuan Hai, he didn't need the entire Taoist sect to pounce on it.
It makes sense now.
Wait, in this case, wouldn't the arrangements for Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism be clear?
Taoism is in heaven, Buddhism is on earth, and Confucianism walks in the world.
In the Tianwai battlefield, the Taoist sect is the main one, and the Confucian sect is the secondary one.
In the human battlefield, the Confucian sect is the main one and the Taoist sect is the secondary one.
What about the Netherworld battlefield?
Buddhist solo?
No, no, there’s also Yinggou’s power, I don’t know what its foundation is!
After Wen Yunsun's few words, Chen Luo felt that the world seemed to become clearer in his eyes.
Wen Yunsun didn't mean to stop, and continued: "For example, your opponent Fang family, the Fang family's saying that the saints are weak is because the core of their principles is 'the principles of heaven', so when they stay away from the way of heaven, the principles will become Weak down.”
Speaking of this, Wen Yunsun also shook his head: "Fang Sheng's 'Heaven's Law' back then actually had another sentence at the end, called 'I am Heaven'. It's just that the children of the Fang family can no longer cultivate it. It's a pity... "
Chen Luo acquiesced, so domineering.
Today's Fang family has inherited domineering power, but has not inherited reason, and has developed a hegemonic mentality.
Having said this, Wen Yunsun paused and then said: "I am telling you this to better understand the path of cultivation."
"Your Taoism is not in line with Taoism. There is no need to talk about Buddhism. Today I will talk to you from the perspective of Confucianism."
Chen Luo looked solemn and said, "Please teach me, Uncle Master."
"The Great Road of Ten Thousand Miles has a total of four stages, three thousand miles, six thousand miles, nine thousand miles, and the last stage of Ten Thousand Miles to the Sky."
"In a word, rules!"
Chen Luo frowned slightly: "Rules?"
In the wild wilderness recently, I heard these two words a lot.
"That's right, rules." Wen Yunsun said with certainty, "We often talk about principles. When principles become the way the way of heaven operates, they are called rules."
"For example, why ice is cold, why fire is hot, why wind has no entity, why rain falls from the sky... These seemingly commonplace and normal things are actually rules."
"Some people often ask why some people with despicable conduct can practice to become great Confucians. In fact, it is still the same reason. The truth is everyone's truth. As long as you are self-consistent and perfect, the way of heaven will recognize this truth and allow you to practice."
"Goodness or evil, beauty or ugliness are standards set by humans and tend to be human-centered, but they are not the standards of heaven."
"But rules, the principles of heaven, exist naturally."
"The special thing about Yawen Avenue is that it can communicate with the way of heaven."
"Three thousand miles is the rule of contact. You can think of poetry as a principle. This principle is recognized by Heaven and forms an extremely short-lived rule. Therefore, the phenomenon of reciting poetry and condensing Confucian techniques occurs. .”
"Six Thousand Miles is about mastering the rules. Of course, it is impossible to master them all, but you can mobilize part of the power of the rules to bless the meaning of poetry and classics. Therefore, compared with the Confucian realm, the abilities in all aspects of the Confucian realm have been qualitatively improved. For example, as you know, why is Li Qinglian so powerful in battle? That’s because his mastery of the rules in the Confucius Realm far surpassed that of his peers, even more than the Great Confucian!"
"When we reach nine thousand miles..."
Wen Yunsun paused and said with a smile: "It's just about establishing rules."
"Construct rules?" Chen Luo was slightly startled, "Uncle Master, do you mean to create rules from scratch?"
Wen Yunsun nodded: "Didn't I say it before? What we understand is the truth, and above the truth are the rules."
"When you reach the level of the Great Confucian of Nine Thousand Miles, you have to turn your own principles into rules!"
"For example, 'wiping it out with one stroke', such as 'minor words and great meaning', these magical powers are actually the embodiment of rules. It's just that these rules are derived from the principles of our Confucian school."
"In addition, Confucianism has the most obvious magical power of the evolution of principles. Can you tell me what it is?"
Chen Luo rolled his eyes and said instantly: "Family, country and world!"
"Exactly!" Wen Yunsun smiled heartily, "Every great Confucian must build an area where his own principles are turned into rules. Within the area, his own principles are the rules. This area is the most famous magical power of Confucianism. ——Family, country and world!”
"So every great Confucian's family, country, and world are different. Close your eyes and use your soul to feel it." As he said this, a blue light flashed in Wen Yunsun's pupils——
"Righteous heaven and earth, descend!"
In an instant, Chen Luo felt his eyes go dark. When he opened his eyes, he was standing on a tidal flat, looking at the vast ocean in the distance.
"This is……"
"I'm afraid when I'm on the beach, I'm afraid. I'm alone in the ocean." Wen Yunsun's voice came from behind Chen Luo. Chen Luo suddenly turned around and looked at Wen Yunsun, "Uncle Wen..."
"This is my righteous world!" Wen Yunsun walked to Chen Luo's side, "The rule here is that everything that is not allowed by righteousness will disappear here!"
Chen Luo glanced at Wen Yunsun and sighed: "Uncle, is it more than that?"
Wen Yunsun was a little surprised, but quickly smiled and said: "What else do you feel?"
Chen Luo nodded: "This country is full of determination to fight to the death. If we encounter an opponent who is unable to fight, the whole world will probably be destroyed and we will have to give the opponent a blow."
"It corresponds to the last two lines of your poem, Uncle Master——"
"Since ancient times, no one has ever died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history."
"Hahahaha... You can teach me!" Wen Yunsun twirled his beard and smiled, walking forward, Chen Luo quickly followed.
"Family, country, and world are not the end." Wen Yunsun continued, "If you want to be a saint, or even surpass a semi-saint to become a saint, you must further strengthen your family, country, and world, and ultimately create your own world of Confucianism!"
"The Confucian heart is perfected in heaven and earth, and the Confucian sect is born as a semi-sage!"
"So..." Chen Luo thought for a while, "With the Confucian Heart of Heaven and Earth, the half-sage will not rely so much on the way of heaven?"
Wen Yunsun turned his head to look at Chen Luo and nodded: "That's right!"
"This matter involves canonization. Your teacher will naturally teach you in the future. You just need to remember one thing. When you are nine thousand miles away, you must plan for the world in your heart in the future."
"The grander and more detailed the world in your mind is, the more rules it can evolve to carry, and the greater the power of feedback."
"Let's still take Li Qinglian as an example. Although he did not study Confucian classics, he had unparalleled poetic talent. He opened up a world of poetry when he was a great scholar. His poetry is very romantic and free and easy. His pattern is so large that few others can match it, so his combat power is extraordinary."
"In addition, the principles of heaven and earth in your heart must match the great aspirations that Six Thousand Miles Wen Yi made when he carried the Tao!"
Chen Luo was thoughtful.
The plan for heaven and earth in your heart?
Grand and detailed?
Do you want it to match the three books on "Immortals, Buddhas, Demons, and Demons and Ghosts" that I wrote when I was six thousand miles away?
this……
Six realms and three realms, the underworld in Lingxiao, the four major continents, the prosperous Tang Dynasty...
Is this world okay?
Is it big enough? Is it detailed enough?
When Wen Yunsun saw Chen Luo lost in thought, he didn't bother him. With a thought, he took Chen Luo away from his home, country and world.
After a while, Chen Luo came out of his trance, opened his eyes, and asked: "Uncle Wen..."
"I have a general understanding of what happened in these nine thousand miles."
"But... if I reach the peak of the fourth rank, how should I take that step?"
Chen Luo felt that he needed to ask clearly about this matter. He suffered from this when he was three thousand miles away.
If anyone had just said "go ahead and push", he wouldn't have blown up Tianmen and been unlucky for so long.
Wen Yunsun also rolled his eyes at Chen Luo when he heard this, and said funnyly: "Don't worry, there is no Tianmen in six thousand miles that will blow up for you!"
"According to historical records, after Confucius opened the way for six thousand miles, he took his disciples to tour the world. One day, he suddenly told Fu Sheng that he saw the world in his heart."
"Government by benevolence, rule by etiquette, rule by virtue, rule by people!"
"Historically known as the Four Rules."
"That night, Kong Sheng broke through the Nine Thousand Miles Avenue!"
"There are two ways for subsequent Confucian disciples to open up nine thousand miles and advance to become great Confucians."
"The first is to master a complete rule at six thousand miles, integrate it into the classics and meanings, and use it as a basis to build a family, country, and world, and be promoted to a great Confucian!"
"The second is a more adventurous way, which is to step out directly from six thousand miles away, use the existing Confucian path to temporarily gain a hint of Confucian enlightenment, write classics and articles, and build a family, a country, and a world."
"The former is safe, while the latter is risky, but once it succeeds, it will be an extra springboard opportunity, and the potential and strength will be stronger."
"Often those geniuses who are conceited about their talent and knowledge will prepare their manuscripts when they are six thousand miles away, and then step out on the road, quickly write the meaning of the scriptures, and become a great Confucian!"
"Of course there are many people among them who lacked the principles and principles of the scriptures and died in the end."
Chen Luo asked curiously: "Uncle Master Wen, which one are you?"
"I..." Wen Yunsun looked proud, "Of course it's the latter."
"Speaking of which... the seven senior brothers and sisters in your bamboo forest are all the latter!" Wen Yunsun said again, "But... you are the one who opened the way, and there is no ready-made nine-thousand-mile road for you to stay temporarily."
"Therefore, it is a safe strategy to polish your true meaning of martial arts and evolve a rule."
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment. Is the Lord who opened the way so pitiful?
The rich generation really doesn’t have any blessings!
But Chen Luo then thought about it again, that's not right!
I have extra ways!
My senior brother has merged with Taoism, and he has nine thousand miles of poetic swordsmanship to support me in martial arts.
Senior brother really loves me!
"No!" Chen Luo was still happy at first, but he suddenly realized and asked, "Uncle Wen, let me ask, how long does it take for an average Confucian sect to write new scriptures and meanings after taking that step?"
Wen Yunsun thought for a while: "I took about half an hour back then, so I don't know the exact time, but judging from those who failed, it was probably about two or three hours."
Chen Luo:!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
The Confucian sect has been so strong for only two or three hours. How long can the poetic swordsmanship of my senior brother sustain me?
It always feels like it's hanging.
At this moment, Chen Luo seemed to see a green lotus in front of his eyes and made a mean sound——
"Junior brother, come and have fun!"
That's right, that's what the senior brother must have been thinking when he merged the Tao with himself!
Chen Luo let out a long sigh, forget it, just know the method.
Wait until you reach the end of six thousand miles and try again.
The most important thing is to see if I can open the nine-thousand-mile flower forest in the dream in advance.
"Do you still have any questions?" Wen Yunsun asked.
Chen Luo thought for a while and shook his head.
From Wen Yunsun's words, Chen Luo roughly understood the direction of his next practice. Although Wen Yunsun only talked about nine thousand miles, he almost covered ten thousand miles to the sky.
Once you have a direction, the next step is to work hard.
"Well! If you have any questions, just call me at any time." Wen Yunsun nodded happily, and then said, "What I said is based on the practice of Confucianism. You may have some differences when you create your own martial arts. There’s not much I can do to help.”
"Uncle Literary Master, you're welcome. This time, the boy has benefited a lot. The fog covering his eyes has dissipated, and the road ahead is clearly visible."
"This is the best. I will live up to your trust in the bamboo forest." After saying that, Wen Yunsun took a deep breath, and all the awe-inspiring righteousness that permeated the sycamore forest was taken back into Wen Yunsun's body.
"Remember the feeling in my country and the world. It is the power of the evolution of rules. When you create your own world in the future, don't make any mistakes."
"I would rather go slower, and the foundation of heaven and earth must be laid. Otherwise, it will affect the future thousands of miles!"
"Yes, disciple, remember!" Chen Luo stood up and bowed again. Wen Yunsun accepted it calmly, then put away the jade bamboo stick, stood up and said, "It is best to return to Daxuan when we clear the way, otherwise it will be bad for those old immortals in the Southern Wilderness to discover the clues."
"Disciple understands." Chen Luo responded, and then said, "Uncle Wen, there is something else I need to inform you about. I was a little tired yesterday and forgot to mention it."
Wen Yunsun was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Luo said with a solemn expression: "In the vast wilderness, I saw the resentful spirit transformed by the contemporary sage Xiang Feitian of the Elephant Clan."
"According to what he said, among the murderers who destroyed the Elephant Clan, in addition to Buddhism, there were also figures from the Wolf Clan and Barbarian Gods!"
"Wolf Clan! Barbarian God!" Wen Yunsun's expression suddenly changed, he was silent for a moment, nodded, and said to Chen Luo, "The East King also found traces of the Barbarian God crossing the sea. I will report this matter to Dong Wang." king."
"As for the wolf clan..." Wen Yunsun thought for a moment, "I will return now. This matter is important and some arrangements need to be made!"
Chen Luo didn't dare to persuade him to stay, so he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, please go slowly. If there is any news from my side, I will inform your uncle!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Wen Yunsun patted Chen Luo on the shoulder, "Grow up quickly..."
"Only a human race where everyone is like a dragon can truly stand between heaven and earth!"
Chen Luo nodded: "Disciple must work hard!"
After saying that, he shrugged helplessly: "It's just, uncle, I've only been practicing for a year..."
"You, stop looking so lazy!" Wen Yunsun pointed at Chen Luo, "Extraordinary people should do extraordinary things."
"Let's go, you should be at level 4 as soon as possible..."
After Wen Yunsun finished speaking, he disappeared in front of Chen Luo in a flash.
Looking at the place where Wen Yunsun disappeared, Chen Luo sighed.
"I also want to reach the fourth level as soon as possible. What can I do?"
"I can only update more."
Chen Luo turned around and walked slowly towards Liaozhai...
