Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading Chapter 833: The road to canonization is rough…
The stars are new, and the moon remains the same.
Using a story about the Jade Rabbit Spirit to turn the bright moon into a lunar star and incorporate it into the star system, this gloomy night that lasted for several days finally came to an end.
It is worth mentioning that under Chen Luo's deliberate favoritism, the blood of Yutujing fell on Fangcunshan's Zhuiyue. Chasing the moon originally belonged to the Yuetu clan. At the beginning, the Yuetu clan was almost wiped out, but was rescued by Mastiff Lingling and brought back to Fangcun Mountain. Now that Chen Luo lives in Zhongjing, and the inside and outside of Fangcun Mountain are well-organized by Chasing Moon, it's no problem to reward him.
As for the rabbit clan of other bloodlines in the southern wilderness, they can also compete with Fang Ritu's bloodline of heaven.
Unknowingly, ninety-five chapters of "Journey to the West" have been written, and there are only five chapters left to finish.
The other "A Dream of Red Mansions" is also coming to an end, and it is expected to be finished at the same time as "Journey to the West".
Chen Luo's cultivation at this time has reached the peak of the first-grade realm after the wind blows away the chaotic origin blocked in his body. Next, for Chen Luo, it is to cross nine thousand miles and open the ten thousand miles to reach the sky. .
This is the most critical step in Tongtian Avenue.
According to what the previous senior brothers and sisters said, although there are few people who open the way, there are still a lot of hands in the past and present. In between. That's why Chen Luo was considered the fourth pioneer.
The reason is probably that martial arts do not require a thorough study of talent, and everyone can learn it.
As for those pioneers in the past, except for those who died halfway, without exception, they all chose to merge in the end.
Without him, it's too difficult!
And among them, the most difficult step is the step from nine thousand miles to ten thousand miles.
If it is said that before Chen Luo, among those unfinished pioneers, who had the most hope of opening thousands of miles to reach the sky, it must be Mo Sheng. But even Mo Sage stopped nine thousand miles ago and sighed. In the end, because of the battle between monsters and monsters, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, he resolutely gave up the way of Mok alone, and merged Mok into Confucianism, and became the current "Mokru". Confucianism Most of the gate formations and treasure refining techniques come from this sect, and to a certain extent, it makes up for the shortcomings of the Confucian sect's poor defense.
But to put it another way, the reason why Mo Sheng merged with Dao is not because the road after nine thousand miles is too rough, and even he is not sure that he can walk out in a short time?
Chen Luo's Dao took a coincidence, that is, the truth lies in the world of mortals. This world of mortals has its own rules, and Chen Luo only needs to discover and refine them, and they will naturally become his principles; as for those principles that don't exist, Chen Luo also has the experience of being a human being in two lifetimes, at least he has a model framework to refer to.
But now that the journey of nine thousand miles has come, Chen Luo has to be cautious.
First of all, this road is related to whether Chen Luo can drive thousands of miles to the sky. The so-called half ninety who walks a hundred miles, this last step is the most important step.
Then, it is time to consider the future development of martial arts.
It's just that it's useless for Chen Luo to drive thousands of miles alone. What is needed is that everyone in the future can set foot on thousands of miles. That is the real avenue to reach the sky.
This is to test the master of the way to grasp the truth.
At the beginning, Confucius said, "When you hear the Tao, you can die in the evening", which created an abyss of saints and ordinary people, and many great talents in the world were buried in the abyss of saints and ordinary people.
Until Master Qu was born, he realized the truth that "the road is long and long, and I will search up and down", and turned the holy way on the Wanli Road, and the holy spirit condensed into the rolling Miluo River, which filled the holy abyss , Master Qu died in martyrdom and threw himself into the river. The holy way turned into a long bridge of seeking, connecting the upper and lower.
There is no Confucius, no Confucianism.
There is no master Qu, no prosperity of Confucianism.
Up to now, there are semi-sages of Confucianism outside the sky, and semi-sages of Confucianism in Youming.
In the human world, the Confucian temple is even more supporting pillars and ballast stones!
Searching for the long bridge is the confidence that the head of the Confucian sect is in charge of the human race, and he is also supporting everywhere.
As for the yin and yang realm of Taoism and the five decline realms of Buddhism, in the final analysis, they are all the ways of "hearing the Tao in the morning and dying in the evening", and there is no reference.
What are the advantages of martial arts?
There are so many people!
But Chen Luo didn't want so many Martial Gods of Nine Thousand Miles. When they reached Nine Thousand Miles, they would commit suicide one by one like dumpling and attack thousands of miles.
Chen Luo also wants to establish a "search" that leads to thousands of miles after the nine thousand miles of martial arts.
Fortunately for the Confucian school, Empress Kong was wronged, but Chen Luo didn't dare to guarantee who Empress Chen would have.
For my own generation, it is best to finish the hardships and wars of the three generations, so that future generations can practice with peace of mind.
What exactly is the "quest" that belongs to martial arts?
…
"The 'quest' of martial arts?" In Zhenxuan Division, Su Poxian looked at Chen Luo while eating lychees.
Chen Luo nodded.
Confucius said: "When three of us walk together, there must be my teacher."
Chen Luo naturally wouldn't waste the resources in his hands.
At the beginning, it was Wen Yunsun who suggested Chen Luo to drive nine thousand miles. Now that he is going to drive nine thousand miles, there is a half-sage sitting in Zhongjing. Wouldn't it be a fool not to go whoring for nothing?
What's more, this half-sage is Su Poxian, who is known as the number one in Wenhua Splendid!
No matter how bad it is, with his unfathomable European luck, he might be able to say that the bet is successful if he gives some casual advice?
"Seeking is not a long bridge, but an iron chain." Su Poxian put down the litchi in his hand, sat up straight, thought for a moment, and said, "Seeking is a state."
"It is the state of knowing more, but realizing that you know less!"
"Essentially speaking, the principle of seeking is the first-grade state, righteous heart!"
"When you are righteous to the extreme, you feel that all the principles of the world are in your hands, and you can know what you see, and draw inferences from one instance."
"At this time, the heart is firm, and I believe in my own way!"
"This is the pinnacle of a great scholar."
Su Poxian smiled lightly and said, "Do you know why the four ministers of the country are all first-class Confucians before you?"
Chen Luo shook his head.
"Because of righteousness!"
"This is the case with governing a country. Once a national policy is set, it cannot be changed easily. Only a great Confucian with a correct mind can deal with the opinions of the world."
Pause for a moment, Su Poxian said again: "By the way, I didn't go through the first rank, but jumped directly from the second rank to seeking..."
Chen Luo: o(′^′)o
I'm here to listen to your advice, not to show off.
However, it's no wonder you didn't become the prime minister!
"The so-called first-class search is like this lychee." Su Poxian picked up the lychee again, and gently opened the outer layer of lychee shell with his hands, "The outside is extremely red, but the inside is white and crystal clear."
"A great Confucian of the first grade, to put it mildly, is called righteousness; to put it bluntly, it is called stubbornness!"
"This is not a stubborn character, but a confidence in the truth."
"Because their knowledge has reached the end, in their field, no one knows better than them. So they often cannot listen to new principles."
"Why do you say that you can die when you hear the Tao in the morning?" Su Poxian continued, "Do you really think that if you know your way in the morning, you can die in the evening?"
"Of course, this is also a way of saying "I mark my age" in Gongyang School."
"In fact, the so-called hearing of the Tao is to find the truth of the knowledge that has been achieved and continued to deepen."
"But this principle, it is a flash of light, it may be a treasure, or it may be poison!"
"Leaping in, full of uncertainty!"
Chen Luo nodded.
Su Poxian peeled the lychee in his hand, handed it to Chen Luo, and continued: "Then there was a search."
"The greatest meaning of seeking is not the seeking itself, but Qu Fuzi's way of becoming a saint—"Heavenly Questions"!"
"It is the existence of 'Heavenly Questions' that makes the Confucian in a positive mood feel awe of learning!"
"I just realized that the universe is vast and the truth is endless, and the knowledge I have mastered is only a small part of it that is not worth mentioning!"
"Only by accepting the heart of arrogance and breaking the wall of stubborn heart, can you be qualified to embark on the road of'seeking'!"
"The search is to give a buffer to the holy way. The deeper you go, the more you understand, and the more questions you have. , Transcendence and holiness."
"But that doesn't mean there are no problems."
"These questions will be refined again, and finally become the path to the three-question holy land!"
Su Poxian explained to Chen Luo the practice logic between first-class, seeking, and half-sage in one breath. Seeing that Chen Luo was still a little confused, he gave an example: "For example, your fourth senior brother!"
"When you were assassinated, your fourth senior brother defended you, but it was beyond your power!"
"When he was in the first rank, he thought he was a half-sage, and even if he asked for it, he could protect you even if he sacrificed his own life. This is his "stubbornness" as a first rank!"
"But when you're in deep trouble, he realizes he's wrong."
"Under the net of heaven and earth, even if he sacrifices his life, you are still in danger."
"This knowledge broke his stubbornness, so he grasped the aura and embarked on the realm of seeking!"
"The so-called can't be broken, it's the transformation of first-class and pursuit!"
"Confucianism is like this. I wonder if it can inspire you in martial arts?" Finally, Su Poxian asked.
Hearing this, Chen Luo fell into deep thought.
Seeking is a process from not knowing to knowing, and then from knowing to not knowing.
What about martial arts?
The first six thousand miles of martial arts are all based on perfecting the physical body, which does not involve reason.
So it's not without reason that the outside world joked about the vulgarity of warriors.
The key is nine thousand miles.
The key to a martial artist of nine thousand miles lies in the two stages of Ding Xin Yuan and Shuan Yi Ma.
If knowledge is the holy way of Confucianism, temperament is the holy way of warriors.
However, after the first-rank realm, it's all about love and sex, so how can I go on?
Knowledge can be deepened, but how can this temperament be deepened?
It's impossible to go from sentimental to ruthless, right?
Chen Luo pouted.
No.
Such a ruthless Tao, I would rather not open it! If the point of martial arts is ruthlessness, then stop at nine thousand miles and forget it!
Zhenxuansi and his party seem to understand something, but they seem to understand nothing.
Chen Luo left Zhenxuan Division with doubts in his head.
…
After coming out of Zhenxuan Division, Chen Luo planned to return directly to Anguo Gongfu. Anyway, this matter of enlightenment cannot be figured out overnight. I still need to digest the words Su Poxian said, and find a direction to come out.
You can think about it slowly, the book should be updated as soon as possible.
But when the carriage passed by an alley, Chen Luo stopped Mastiff Lingling.
Chen Luo came to that alley, which is the road leading to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion. Chen Luo thought for a while, then told Mastiff Lingling to turn the car around and drive to Chunqiu Pavilion.
Although Sima Lie, the head of the Spring and Autumn Hall, is not a semi-saint, but as a descendant of the Sima family, he has been in charge of the historian for decades, so he may be able to give him some valuable advice.
…
"Chen Zhuguo, wait a moment. The teacher is performing the 'Dream of Spring and Autumn' for a great Confucianist, and he has no time to clone himself right now." A gray-haired Confucian historian respectfully offered tea to Chen Luo, and said with a smile .
It’s okay to be disrespectful. In the past two years, their historian’s job is basically to record the actions of this person in front of them!
The reason why he didn't send a historian to follow Chen Luo is not because the historian didn't let him go
The disciples of the historians who wrote like knives almost drew their knives at each other for this quota, and the provoking Wen Xiang personally came forward to mediate before giving up.
But this suggestion is nothing!
My highly respected teacher, every time in order to grab a "Yu Qinjian", opened the "Historian Giant Gate" more times than he opened the door of his own study. The" is filled with every corner of the history books!
However, the way of history has also given him great feedback, so that the teacher has not only suffered no losses in the past two years, but has faintly touched the threshold of the semi-sacred historian.
This Confucianist understands in his heart that when the teacher becomes a saint, won't he start to "see for himself" next?
You must have a good relationship with the guy in front of you!
"The Spring and Autumn Dream?" Chen Luo was a little surprised when he heard the other party's words, "Is Mr. Sima willing to use it?"
The Great Dream of the Spring and Autumn Period is a magical power of historians. The last time Chen Luo heard this name was from Wen Yunsun. At that time, a great Confucianist in the historian sealed this magical power before he died, and finally used it on Wen Yunsun, and Wen Yunsun was promoted to the seeking state because of this.
According to Wen Yunsun, the Spring and Autumn Dream is a supernatural power that seems to be false. If you say it is true, it is just a dream; if you say it is false, the insights and principles you get from it still exist after you wake up.
Later, Sima Lie and Chen Luo explained this supernatural power in detail. In fact, this supernatural power is similar to the long river of romance created by Chen Luo when he wrote "Three Kingdoms". Substitute into it and live another life.
Because it is the history of the rise and fall of historians, so except for the fact that the bottom layer is false, everything else is true, even the way of heaven in the dream is true!
It's just that this supernatural power can only be used by historians who seek to find great Confucianism, and it consumes too much energy, so it is rarely used. It is often a great Confucian who is dying, and will seal up the energy in the body, leaving an opportunity for future generations to advance .
One more thing, what is left by the disciples of the historians does not belong to the descendants, but to the historians.
As the disciples of historians have always said, everything about them belongs to history.
"Exactly!" The Confucianist nodded and replied, "As the saying goes, Gou Rixin, day by day, because of the existence of Chen Zhuguo, there is a new history every day. My historian has benefited a lot. With the teacher's cultivation, It’s okay to cast it once in a while.”
"So Mr. Sima is about to become a saint. This is the great joy of the human race!" Chen Luo was also delighted when he understood what the other party meant.
"Chen Zhuguo, don't listen to nonsense, there is still a long way to go before you become a saint." At this moment, a phantom of a vicissitudes gate appeared at the entrance of the hall, and then the huge door opened wide, and the atmosphere of vicissitudes instantly permeated, Sima Li Stepped out from this door.
Chen Luo: !!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
Aren't you in the nearby pavilion?
I don't think it's an exaggeration to come here in a flash. You open the door of the historian?
"Hahahaha... There was a bit of prosperity and decline, and the old man couldn't bear it, so he pushed the door of the historian." Sima Lie also smiled, and sat in front of Chen Luo.
Scared to death!
If Chen Zhuguo wins over other historians and great Confucian scholars, and reveals important events to them in advance, wouldn't he be at a loss?
What happened to the Shijiamen on their way? It would be nice not to go back in time!
"I don't know if Chen Zhuguo came to the door today, but what happened?" Sima Lie asked with bright eyes.
"Oh, a little personal matter, about cultivation!" Chen Luo chuckled, and said all his confusion and Su Poxian's words before continuing, "Old Mr. Sima is in charge of the history of the human race. I wonder if there is anything I can mention to the younger generation?"
"Don't dare!" Sima Lie immediately waved his hands when he heard the words, "Su Sheng has already taught, how dare I say something?"
"However, the old man recently used the magic power of the Spring and Autumn Dream. Although it is to help people achieve enlightenment, it also involves people's hearts, and there are also love and hatred in the dream! The old man has some ideas, but he can share one or two with Zhu Guo."
"Mr. Sima please advise." Chen Luo hurriedly got up and bowed.
Sima Lie returned a salute, and asked Chen Luo to sit down again, then twisted his gray beard and said: "Hui Ji will be hurt, love will never last."
"A person with the utmost affection and nature is like a surging river, unstoppable. Although he is calm and free from external interference, his whole person is like a volcano ready to explode, a snowy river about to collapse, fear Not for long!"
Chen Luo listened carefully to Sima Lie's words, and nodded slightly.
Fixing one's mind in the first-rank realm is to avoid the invasion of foreign demons, stir up one's mind, and give birth to a heart that is good at killing, fighting, fighting, and fighting.
But his own temperament is not included in this list.
Just like when he rushed to the netherworld desperately to save Chen Xuan, Adamo knew that there were tigers in the mountains and went to the west to travel to the tiger mountain, and Aji set up a sword on Cuiwei Mountain to meet the challenge of the world...
These are all caused by temperament!
If you want to go further, you have to control your own temperament instead of being controlled by it!
Chen Luo had a faint outline of the road ahead.
Seeing that Chen Luo was lost in thought, Sima Lie stopped talking and just waved his hands to set up a barrier to prevent outside interference.
About half an hour later, Chen Luo came back to his senses. He stood up again and cupped his hands towards Sima Lie, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Sima, for your kind advice!"
"Chen Zhuguo can get something ~IndoMTL.com~ is the blessing of my human race. Don't be polite!"
"This road, there are still some things to think about. The younger generation will leave first."
"Don't bother Chen Zhuguo." Sima Lie arched his hands and said with a smile, "I hope Chen Zhuguo will be connected thousands of miles soon! I still have some longevity, I hope I can see it with my own eyes..."
"I will do my best not to keep you waiting." Chen Luo returned the salute, then turned and left the hall.
Looking at Chen Luo's back going away, Sima Lie's disciple smiled and said, "What happened today should be recorded by historians!"
Sima Lie shook his head with a serious expression on his face.
"Don't remember this matter!"
Under the stunned gaze of his disciples, Sima Lie stood up and walked outside, leaving behind a sentence that echoed.
"It's a trivial matter, why remember it! I wait for the fireflies, and I dare not share the light of the bright moon!"
When the great scholar heard the words, his cheeks blushed immediately, and he bowed to Sima Lie: "Thank you for your teaching!"
…
Back in the study, Chen Luo fell into thought again.
Whether it was Su Poxian's words or Sima Lie's advice, they all gave him great inspiration.
He is now trying to connect the dots of these inspirations.
After an hour, he wrote a line on a piece of white paper——
"My temperament urges me to get angry, and I urge my temperament to rise."
"There are many dreams in the world of mortals, and I wake up from my dreams."
After finishing writing, Chen Luo read it carefully a few more times, and then heaved a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, he nailed the piece of paper to the wall of the study.
This is just the direction of the model lake. Chen Luo still needs to continue to explore how to get there!
But, always a good start!
Chen Luo smiled lightly.
Reward yourself, I won't be updating "Journey to the West" today, take a good rest...
