Chapter 189: The Tombs of the Saints
It took Nie Yun three days to pack up the new house and buy furniture.
On the fourth day of buying a house, Nie Yun and Tian Zhencai talked to Nie Yun's parents and Uncle Tian and drove back to their hometown. Although Uncle Tian also wanted to return to his hometown, Nie Yun left Uncle Tian behind on the grounds that Uncle Tian had just recovered from a serious illness and might have a recurrence.
And Nie Yun also said to Uncle Tian that the house in his hometown is being renovated, and when it is repaired, let Uncle Tian go back, in addition, Nie Yun's parents will also go back and live with Uncle Tian for a while.
Hearing Nie Yun say that his hometown house was renovated, Uncle Tian even said that Nie Yun had broken the bank.
In fact, in Uncle Tian's imagination, renovating the old house is just a matter of smashing the original house and building a few bright brick houses.
If Uncle Tian knew that this time to renovate the house, he would directly buy a new piece of land in the village and build a small villa, then Uncle Tian would probably open his mouth in surprise, and he would not even let Nie Yun cover it, so as not to spend too much money...... Bidding farewell to their parents and Uncle Tian, Nie Yun and Tian Zhen drove to Qiao County.
At the same time, the charcoal ball was also brought by two people.
The time for the charcoal ball to leave Qiao County is not short, although it is very moist outside, fighting this and that, it has already become a famous dog on the Internet, and its own value has increased more than ten times, but the two wives of the charcoal ball, the little female mastiff are still in their hometown. Nie Yun will never let the charcoal ball be Chen Shimei, this time I came back, just let the charcoal ball see its two little wives and the little wolf|" daughter".
Of course, if Tanqiu still wants to plot against his two wives, Nie Yun probably has to stop it.
You know, dogs, although they may grow up in seven or eight months, are actually completely mature, generally about one and a half years old, and then have some relationship with the female dog at this time, so as not to hurt themselves. After five or six months, the charcoal ball has become a big dog, but now it is not even a year old, and it is a little too early to have a certain relationship...... Leaving the provincial capital at eight o'clock in the morning and driving the car, at about ten o'clock, Nie Yun and Tian Zhen had already arrived at a transit station on this trip - Qufu!
Qufu is the hometown of Confucius, and the "Three Holes" are valuable cultural heritages recorded on the World Cultural Heritage List, namely the Confucian Mansion, the Confucian Temple, and the Confucian Forest.
Among them, Konglin is the largest and oldest existing artificial garden in the world.
Contaminated with the breath of a saint, the aura contained in these trees in the Confucian Forest is definitely not low, Nie Yun estimates that after walking around the Confucian Forest, the spiritual energy absorbed by himself will definitely not be less than that of walking around Mount Tai!
Nie Yun absorbed the aura, mainly for the purpose of upgrading the Lingmu pupil, and he had already reached the third level.
How to upgrade the Lingmu Pupil, in fact, Nie Yun did not have a more prepared answer, but Nie Yun estimated that generally speaking, if you want the Lingmu Pupil to be upgraded to the third level, you first need to absorb a large amount of grass and wood aura, so that the cyan aura in your right eye reaches a critical value for a breakthrough.
Then, look for another opportunity to seek a breakthrough!
What exactly this opportunity is, Nie Yun can't say, it may be to find a tree with an aura between cyan and blue to absorb the aura in it, or it may be something else. But in any case, it is necessary to absorb a large amount of cyan aura first.
Hetian Zhen said it, and Nie Yun said that he would go to the Confucian Temple by the way, pay homage to the relics of the saint, stay in Qufu for one night, and wait until tomorrow to return to his hometown. Tian Zhen naturally did not object, and directly agreed.
In fact, as a native of Ludong, Confucius Temple, Confucius Temple, Confucius Forest, and other places, although Nie Yun does not often go, he has also been here.
This time, it was basically to absorb the aura in Kong Lin, and to accompany Tian Zhen for a walk.
Accompanying Tian Zhen, Nie Yun first visited the Confucian Mansion and the Confucian Temple.
The Confucian Mansion, as the name suggests, is the residence of the old man Confucius!
However, in fact, this cannot be regarded as the residence of the old man Confucius, because when Confucius was alive, he was among the poor at all, and basically did not have any real estate. When he was at his poorest, Mr. Confucius basically reached the point of begging for food to make a living, relying on a few apprentices to get out.
Of course, Confucius was also a big official earlier, and Confucius's son Kong Li, who was even named Marquis of Surabaya, and it is normal to have real estate.
It's a pity that it was a 2,000-year-old property, and it has basically collapsed and rotted now...... The current Confucian Mansion is actually built and renovated in modern times and even in modern times.
Even so, Hetian Zhen once again entered the Confucian Mansion to visit, and Nie Yun faintly felt that above this Confucian Mansion, there was a rich golden aura. Even the golden jade pupil in Nie Yun's left eye absorbed a considerable part of these aura.
The Saint's Mansion, even if it was built by later generations, is extraordinary!
In addition, in the Temple of Confucius, when he saw the statue of Confucius, Nie Yun unexpectedly realized that this statue of Confucius actually contained a red, close to purple aura!
You know, the statue of Confucius is definitely not a cultural relic, ten years of turmoil, criticism of Confucius, the old man Confucius was severely criticized, the statue has long been smashed. This statue was reshaped after the old man Confucius was rehabilitated, and it is decades old.
Even so, the aura contained in it is close to purple, almost reaching the highest level!
"The name of the saint is indeed worthy of the name......
Looking at the statue of Confucius, Nie Yun said secretly in his heart.
Nie Yun's left eye, the golden jade pupil, is looking at the spiritual level of aura, the product of general human civilization, containing the most golden jade pupil aura.
And Confucius, just above the history of human civilization, occupies a very high position. Among the Chinese sages, like Lao Tzu, he advocates Tao and nature; Zhuangzi advocates freedom and leisure; Han Feizi advocates a strict legal system...... Only Confucius advocated benevolence and an ethical relationship between people...... Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, these ethical relationships between people, were sorted out by Confucius and etiquette was formulated. At the same time, Confucius told future generations how to behave as a human being.
The way of heaven is the law of the jungle; Confucius, on the other hand, formulated humanity, and one of the cores of humanity is "benevolence", which is the word benevolence that distinguishes humans from animals. For thousands of years in China, the children's enlightenment book is Confucius's "Analects", which is the principle of teaching people to be human.
Such a saint can be said to be an existence standing at the top of human spiritual civilization.
Nie Yun estimates that I am afraid that only Cangjie, who made words, and Shennong, who tasted a hundred herbs, these ancient sages, can be compared with Confucius at the level of human spiritual civilization.
In the statue of Confucius, the aura is crimson, almost purple, which is also a very normal thing.
Coming out of the Confucian Temple, Nie Yun and Tian Zhen entered the most important place of the trip, Kong Lin!
Kong Lin is the tomb of Confucius and his descendants, when Confucius died at the earliest, there was only one tomb, not even a tomb. In other words, Confucius was buried directly in the ground, and the place where Confucius was buried was not a grave with a small earthen bag. This kind of treatment, to be honest, is basically the same as a beast...... In Nie Yun's hometown, although cremation has already begun, after cremation, the urn of the deceased will still be put in a coffin, buried in the ground, and then a grave bag will be piled up. In the funeral ceremony, it is still the same as burial, this is a kind of funeral method that combines cremation and burial!
Only the kittens and puppies died, and the owners buried them directly, leaving no graves.
From this level, Confucius is really a level with cats and dogs, fortunately, after the death of Confucius, with the popularization of Confucius's thoughts, Confucius's status gradually improved, the tomb bag was also piled up by later generations, there were more and more tomb keepers, and more and more trees were planted next to Confucius's tomb, and gradually after two thousand years, the current Confucian forest was formed.
Kong Lin, Shinto.
The cypress and cypress stand in the middle of the road. The trees on both sides of this thousand-meter-long Shinto were basically planted in the Song and Yuan dynasties, even if they are not in the Confucian Forest, these centuries-old trees can also accumulate a relatively high level of aura, and all the way on this Shinto, almost every moment, there are streams of light cyan aura integrated into Nie Yun's right eye.
"Since you have arrived in Konglin, let's go to the tomb of Confucius to pay respects. The tomb of Confucius should be worshipped, and among the descendants of Confucius, the tombs of some of the more famous people should also be worshipped! While walking, Nie Yun said to Tian Zhen.
Tian Zhen's eyes blinked.
"It's been more than 2,000 years since the death of Confucius, and now it should have been passed down to hundreds of generations, right? If all these descendants had to come and pay their respects, it would take a long time, right? Tian Zhen asked.
"Well, it's been passed down for many generations, it seems that now, it's **ten generations, but if you want to worship, just choose a few of them with representative surnames, and you don't need to worship every generation." Nie Yun said.
With a history of more than 2,000 years, if you say that it is one generation in 20 years, it is basically about 100 generations now.
Among them, Confucius, Confucius's son Kong Li, and grandson Kong Ling all have representative surnames, in addition, among the characters of the Confucian family, Nie Yun only knows a Kong Rong in the Three Kingdoms period, that is, the Kong Rong who made pears, and at the same time, it is also the one who is "small, and it may not be good", counting up, this Kong Rong is also one of the warlords in the late Han Dynasty, Beihai Taishou, and his subordinates Tai Shici and Wu Anguo are all fierce generals...... This is far away...... "Nie Yun, let's find the largest tombs to worship, anyway, it is estimated that in addition to the tomb of Confucius, the largest tombs should be more famous." ”
Tian Zhen heard Nie Yun say that he wanted to choose a few tombs to worship, and immediately suggested.
"The biggest tomb?" A wry smile appeared on the corner of Nie Yun's mouth.
"The largest tomb is not necessarily the most famous tomb, in this Confucian forest, except for the tomb of Confucius, the largest tomb does not belong to the sages of the Confucian family......" Nie Yun shook his head and said slowly.
