There are two or three branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo, which are prophets of the warmth of the spring river.
The ground is covered with wormwood and reed buds are short, which is when the puffer fish is about to come.
In the bright spring of March, Chen Luo brought Mastiff Lingling to the headquarters of Zhenxuan Division.
To be honest, this was the first time he received an invitation from a semi-saint, and it was the ever-famous Su Poxian, so Chen Luo was still a little excited.
Zhenxuansi is located behind the imperial city. It is just a square stone hall. Not to mention the plaque, there is not even a single person in sight. If you didn't know this was Zhenxuansi, you might have thought it was just an abandoned palace outside the palace.
According to the instructions on the name card, Chen Luo walked into the stone hall. The stone hall was empty except for a thin old man standing in the hall.
"I am an old servant of King Xuan of Xia Town, named Tunnu, who has met Chen Zhuguo." When the old man saw Chen Luo walking into the hall, the old man quickly stepped forward and saluted.
At this time, the mastiff Lingling who was following Chen Luo frowned slightly and said through a message: "Young Master, this is the pinnacle sage."
Chen Luo nodded slightly. As a half-saint, it is not unusual to have a peak saint next to you.
However, Chen Luo naturally did not dare to treat the other party as an ordinary slave. He raised his hand and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, I will wait for you."
"Zhu Guo is polite, just ask the old servant to swallow the slave." Tunnu smiled, led Chen Luo to the center of the stone hall, raised his finger and pointed towards the void, and the void suddenly rippled like water. Layers of ripples appeared, and a translucent portal appeared. Even with the space barrier, Chen Luo still felt the vast talent coming from the portal.
"This is the master's world of Confucianism, also known as the Confucian Sect's Splendid Land, please." Tun Nu said, and then took the lead to walk into the translucent portal, followed closely by Chen Luo.
…
As soon as he entered the world of Confucianism, Chen Luo instantly felt a fragrance coming to his nostrils.
Not floral, but fruity.
The entrance to this world of Confucianism is actually in a lychee forest.
Chen Luo looked around. Strings of bright red lychees hung on the lychee trees, exuding an alluring sweet and fruity aroma.
Following Tunnu, Chen Luo walked all the way towards the depths of the world, and he could still hear chanting in the distance.
"Is there anyone else in this world of Confucianism?" Chen Luo asked curiously.
Tunnu nodded and explained: "When the Confucian sect is consecrated, the family, country, and world are transformed into the world of Confucianism, which is a small world. The holy way of the semi-saint is the way of heaven in this small world. Since there is a way of heaven, then It can support living beings."
"The breath of heaven and earth here, because of the existence of the holy way, is purer and easier to absorb than the outside world. Therefore, the probability of geniuses and breakthroughs in Splendid Land is much higher than in the outside world."
"This is also why semi-saints and aristocratic families are more likely to have geniuses."
Chen Luo nodded. Wen Yunsun and he had briefly talked about the Confucian Heart World before, but at that time he was still far away from being a saint, so he only briefly mentioned it without going too in-depth.
"How big is it here?" Chen Luo asked as he walked.
"Back to the Zhu Kingdom, my master's world of Confucianism has a radius of 2,100 miles." Tun Nu said with a smile, "Generally speaking, the world of Confucianism that reaches the holy realm ranges from a hundred to five hundred miles in radius. "
"If you ask a half-saint, the lowest radius is a thousand miles."
"Second Questions for Half-Saints, a radius of two thousand miles is the basis."
"As for the third question... I don't know about this Tunnu."
Chen Luo thought for a while and asked: "The larger the scope of the Confucian Heart World, the stronger the combat power?"
Tunnu nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Generally speaking, it is like this, but it is not absolute."
"For example, the stability of the world of Confucianism is also a very important factor."
"Even if you have a radius of thousands of miles, there are cracks in the space everywhere in the world of Confucianism. They will break when touched. I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat someone with a radius of thousands of miles."
"For example, some Confucian worlds with flaws in their holy ways may seem quite big, but they are actually not stable."
"Generally speaking, the stronger the holy way is, the more stable the world of Confucianism will be. On this basis, the further the holy way goes, the wider the scope of the world of Confucianism will be."
"So most of the half-saints are expanding the world of Confucianism on the basis of stabilizing the world."
"Of course, there are also semi-saints who deliberately compress the world of Confucianism to condense special holy powers and holy treasures. These are special cases."
Hearing this, Chen Luo suddenly felt a storm in his heart.
Some Fang family members ignored him and started talking about Su Poxian's world of Confucianism.
As far as he knew, Su Poxian was besieged by demons when he entered the holy realm. He exchanged peace for peak combat power. He broke the siege alone. At the last moment, he used the "Eternal Eye" to randomly lock his status at a certain moment. For eternity.
As a result, this European Emperor randomly reached his peak state at the moment when he opened Taipei.
When a half-saint opens peace, he will not self-destruct, but will increase his combat power, and finally die from the collapse of the holy path.
In other words, Su Poxian opened up peace by cultivating into the Saint Realm, directly reaching the level of Two Questions and Half Saint.
Sure enough, there is a green lotus for ten thousand years, and behind it there is a Po Immortal.
As expected of you, Su Poxian!
etc……
Chen Luo suddenly thought of another person.
Wenyun Sun!
Back then, Wen Yunsun taught him Taoism for his teacher and brought him into his family, country and world.
His family, country, and world, which has not yet transformed into a Confucian world, seems to have a radius of eight hundred miles!
Moreover, I heard from Yan Baichuan that Master Wen’s righteousness and purity are the first, so his Confucianism is also the first!
I knew it was powerful at first, but I didn't know how powerful it was. Today, after listening to Tunnu's explanation, I understood the solid gold content.
This is a guarantee for leapfrogging!
grass! What kind of monsters are these elders!
Fortunately, I am also a monster.
Otherwise, I really can’t hold my head high in front of these seniors.
…
In order to speed up the journey, Tun Nu lifted the forbidden air in Confucian Heart World and took Chen Luo to fly through the air.
"Currently, in this world of Confucianism, there are some descendants of the Su family, as well as young talents that the master has taken a liking to while traveling around the world. There are more than 3,600 people in total studying here." Tunnu continued to explain to Chen Luo. , "Generally speaking, when students in the Confucian Heart World advance to the fourth level, they have to decide on their own holy path."
"If you choose another holy path, you can no longer stay in the world of Confucianism, otherwise the path to the holy path will be hindered."
"If you are walking on the same path as the master of Confucian Heart World, you can stay and use the holy path to break through. The advantage is that breakthrough is easier than others, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, if you are in this holy path, If you can’t find your own direction, the upper limit is to seek.”
After hearing Tunnu's introduction, Chen Luo nodded slightly.
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of his own bamboo forest.
Not to mention myself, even the senior brother and second senior sister who have been with the teacher for the longest time have never entered the teacher's world of Confucianism and practice.
As far as he could see, his senior brothers and sisters practiced different principles. The eldest brother was now famous in poetry; the second senior sister returned to his ancestor Suzaku and practiced the Gongyang Holy Way; the third senior brother also returned to his ancestor Bai Ze and Confucianism. What I practice is the "Book of Songs"; the fourth senior brother is the guardian way of "brave"; the fifth senior brother is not sure; the sixth senior sister is the "chess way" of the "wisdom way"; and the seventh senior brother insists on the "Three Thinking" way road.
But I am not on the Confucian path.
They all look different and a bit messy.
But is this Bamboo Sage irresponsible?
No, the closer to Wan Li, the deeper Chen Luo's understanding of certain things becomes.
The way of the bamboo forest is the way of the heart, originating from Luxiang Mountain.
After Mr. Xiangshan, it fell silent for thousands of years, and then bloomed again in the hands of his master, Mr. Baisha.
Master Bo Xuanyuan Zhao, later Emperor Lin, and now Emperor Dafeng Xuan, practiced the Great Way of Life and Death, and will merge with the Netherworld in the future.
The young master's uncle, King Luo Bin, came from the same world as himself, had a close relationship with Zixiao Palace, and founded martial arts.
Then there is his teacher, the Bamboo Sage Yu Wuji who beats the world with a bamboo stick.
It can be seen from this that there seems to be no fixed training path in my line of disciples. It all depends on the disciple's personal qualifications and development. To put it nicely, it is called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. To put it poorly, it is to depend on the weather.
If you meet a disciple with superior qualifications, you can flourish; but if you don't meet him, you will be like Mr. Xiangshan, who has been silent for thousands of years.
But is it really so?
no.
At least it's not like this in the teacher's bamboo forest.
The teacher’s thoughts are the “original mind”.
If you have an idea about a principle, pursue it; if you have a talent for a principle, go for it.
The mission of the master is to protect you.
Just follow your holy path and hold on to your original intention. If the sky falls and the earth falls, your master will carry it.
If the master is here, the master will protect you; if the master is not here, the senior brothers and sisters will protect you!
When one day your path comes to an end, or you have junior brothers, sisters, or even disciples, you will have to protect their path.
In the final analysis, the way of the heart cannot be taught. Everyone has their own way of understanding!
But from the beginning, Zhulin taught his disciples to build their own world in their hearts.
This is what is called "mind is reason"!
…
After retracting his somewhat divergent thoughts, Chen Luo's nose twitched, and another aroma entered his nose. However, when he smelled the aroma, his mouth and tongue became wet unconsciously.
Chen Luo looked down and saw that in the study rooms, there were fat people making delicious food.
"Hahaha, it's time for dinner, don't be surprised by Zhu Guo." Tunnu laughed, "Master's disciples all have good cooking skills."
"Understood, understood." Chen Luo replied quickly and closed his nose.
…
After flying for about half an hour, Tunnu, Chen Luo and Mastiff Lingling landed beside a stream in a bamboo forest.
"My master said that it is better to eat without meat than live without bamboo, so the holy residence is in this bamboo forest." Tunnu explained and led Chen Luo upstream of the stream in the bamboo forest.
The stream was gurgling and the bottom was clearly visible. There were fish swimming and shrimps jumping in the stream. We also saw some stone crabs as big as copper coins, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
After walking forward for about a mile, I saw a bamboo hut. At this time, aromas of fragrance wafted out of the bamboo hut. A fat figure in an apron was squatting in front of the stove, holding a cattail leaf fan to light the fire.
"Master, Chen Zhuguo is here." Tun Nu quickly stepped forward and said.
"Junior Chen Luo has met Su Sheng."
"Sit down first and drink tea by yourself." Su Poxian waved his hand, "The heat is important, it will take a while."
"Hey." Chen Luo sat obediently on a bamboo chair nearby. At this time, there were several dishes on the bamboo table in front of him, which looked very delicious.
But the shiny dish in the middle, if I read it correctly, is dragon scale, right?
Dry fried dragon scales?
"Boy Chen, it's your first time to visit, did you bring any greetings?" After a moment, Su Poxian stood up, looked at Chen Luo narrowly, and asked.
Chen Luo nodded quickly and winked at Mastiff Lingling, who immediately took out a brocade box from the storage order and handed it to Tun Nu who stepped forward.
Tun Nu opened the brocade box, took a look at it, and said to Su Poxian: "Master, this is a poem handed down from ancient times written by Chen Zhuguo himself."
"Hey!" Su Poxian rolled his eyes and sat across from Chen Luo, "What is this thing worth?"
Chen Luo glanced at Su Poxian and said, "This is the first time for this junior to visit the senior. Is there any greeting gift for the senior?"
Su Poxian glanced at Tunnu, who quickly took out a brocade box.
Mastiff Lingling stepped forward to take it, opened it and said, "Sir, this is a poem handed down from generation to generation written by King Zhenxuan himself."
"Hey!" Chen Luo shrugged, "Although it's not worth anything, I want to show respect to my seniors, so just put it away."
"Hahahahaha..." Su Poxian burst out laughing, "Interesting, you kid is interesting."
"Originally, these dishes are enough for you, but since you are so interesting, let me add another dish for you!" Su Poxian said with a smile, "Your adoptive father in Southern Wasteland has been craving this dish for a long time!"
"It's just a coincidence that you came here. This season is the most fertile time."
After saying that, he turned to look at Tunnu. Tunnu nodded and walked to the creek. The next moment, his thin body suddenly expanded into a ball. At the same time, fleshy thorns grew on his skin. .
"This is...a puffer fish?" Chen Luo was surprised.
Then, Tun Nu was seen spitting out a little blue-green venom into the stream. Not long after, puffer fish popped up in the stream.
The next moment, Tun Nu ordered more than a dozen pufferfish, and those pufferfish jumped onto the shore one by one and lined up to lie down on the chopping board.
Chen Luo watched this scene curiously.
These pufferfish were lined up in a row, and each of them looked like they were ready to die.
Tunnu stepped forward, with a kitchen knife in his hand. He swung the knife like rain and dealt with the dozens of pufferfish in an instant.
After a while, a steamed puffer fish was placed in front of Chen Luo.
"Try it, now is the freshest time." Su Poxian greeted.
Chen Luo was a little embarrassed. Although this was the fate of these breeding monsters, he still felt a little awkward when he saw the other person being made into a dish in front of him.
Just take a bite and give Su Poxian some noodles...it's so delicious!
Chen Luolian ate several pieces, then felt a little rude and smiled awkwardly.
"If you like to eat, eat more. If you don't have enough, let Tun Nu do it!" Su Poxian poured himself a glass of wine with a smile and said, "These little guys are quite fertile, mainly because they are no longer fresh outside this beautiful world. "
Chen Luo nodded, picked up the chopsticks again and started eating.
…
Unknowingly, Su Poxian had already drank half of the bottle of wine, and Chen Luo was half full. The two chatted about the general situation of the world, and then talked about poems and songs. Finally, Su Poxian finally talked about the main topic. .
"Do you know why I called you today?"
Chen Luo shook his head.
"Two things." Su Poxian took out a jade slip from his pocket and handed it to Chen Luo.
"This is the first one, take a look first!"
Chen Luo quickly wiped his mouth, wiped his hands, took the jade slip from Su Poxian's hand, explored the power of the soul, and then his face suddenly became serious.
Su Poxian was still drinking a small drink and said: "Don't worry about the content above, it is absolutely credible. This was investigated by the King of the West himself!"
Chen Luo nodded.
The four kings of Zhenxuansi, the Northern King suppresses Mantian, the Eastern King supervises Yuanhai, the Southern King explores the Southern Wilderness, and the Western King travels around the world to supervise the interior of Daxuan.
The current King of the West is Li Yian, the most amazing woman in history, Bai Yueguang, his fourth senior brother.
There are many things on this jade slip, but they can be summed up in one thing: cruelty and lynching!
Ever since Chen Luo took office as the Prime Minister, he established the Imperial Procuratorate, set up a guillotine, took over the world's water rights, and wiped out the Gu sect... everything has been done one by one, and now the office of bias has become the most powerful one in the court. department.
In particular, Chen Luo's admiration for Legalism and his policy policies led to Legalist disciples coming to join him one after another, and Legalist Avenue flourished.
However, this also brings side effects.
The function of law is to avoid past mistakes and avoid future ones, to treat illnesses and save lives; but it is considered by some people to be a manifestation of power.
Once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out.
There are also people who, for certain purposes, such as fame, future, or holy path... expand the scope of the law, increase the intensity of the law, increase the burden of the law, and reduce the supervision of the law.
The Zhongjing headquarters is fine, but signs of ruthless officials have begun to appear locally.
The so-called cruel officials refer to officials who impose severe punishments and harsh laws. Apart from speculation, most of these cool officials are fans of Legalism.
You say they are not good officials, most of them are very honest; you say they are good officials, their methods of dealing with prisoners are like evil spirits, especially in the design of lynchings, all of them are absolute geniuses.
Moreover, these cruel officials are generous and kind to ordinary people, but they specifically oppose wealthy families, as if defeating them is the right thing to do, and they will indeed gain some support from the people.
If you are guilty, I will give you a serious crime; if you are not guilty, I will give you a crime. What's more, how can such a wealthy family stand up to scrutiny?
This situation has long entered the scope of King Xi's attention. Li Yian traveled throughout the thirteen states of Daxuan, recorded some of the more serious cases in detail, and injected them all into this jade slip.
"This matter was originally reported directly to His Majesty."
"After seeing it, Your Majesty thought that this matter did not need to be discussed by the imperial court, and magnified the situation."
"His Majesty said, let you see, he believes you can handle it."
Chen Luo nodded and put the jade slip away: "Thank you for your majesty and Su Sheng's protection. I will deal with this matter when I get back. It must be resolved properly."
"Don't worry too much." King Zhenxuan waved his hand, "It doesn't matter whether it's a cruel official or a rich family, it's just dog eating dog. If you find it difficult to handle, just hit fifty big ones each. It won't be successful, but it will definitely not be wrong."
"The real giants of the human race are guarding this world from outside the sky!"
Chen Luo smiled and nodded: "Because of this, we must make them feel that this world is worth keeping!"
"Peace belongs to everyone."
Su Poxian was startled while drinking, then looked at Chen Luo and smiled: "That's right!"
After saying that, Su Poxian drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
"Su Sheng, I wonder what the second thing is?"
Su Poxian put down his wine glass and said in a tone that was one part serious and one part joking -
"Chen Luo, you also wrote "Dream of Red Mansions", right?"
"Then Cao Xueqin, is that your pen name, right?"
"In order to subvert the Confucian saint clan with human books, what do you want to do?"
