Chapter 3 The Confucian Hierarchy of Exercises
Zimo returned to the Little Sage Village casually, as if nothing had happened, and went back with steps.
This small sage village has a main entrance, but Zimo did not enter from here, only "adults" can walk here, and their students here all walk through the side door, that is, "villains".
The villain may be the meaning of a child, or it may be an ordinary person, anyway, it is not the villain that the later generations talked about.
Just walked into the little sage village, Zimo glanced around, and then went to the seaside accommodation, the little sage village is elegant, it is just night, the moon has not risen yet, but it is also a beautiful scenery in the dark night.
While walking, frowning slightly, suddenly there was a "poof" sound at the corner in front of him, Zimo immediately stepped forward, and a fat man fell.
This fat man is none other than the student called Zimu.
Zimu fell to the ground, his legs trembled a little, he looked at Zimo in surprise, and muttered in his mouth: "Are you a human or a ghost?" Don't kill me, I didn't do anything! ”
Alas, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and when I was in a panic, I didn't care about anything, and the fox's tail leaked out directly.
Zimo glanced at him coldly, with his current strength, he couldn't help himself, forget it, leave him alone.
didn't say anything, Zimo just glanced at him and left, taking his fear as unheard of, pretending not to see it.
After Zimo left, the little fat man looked at Zimo's figure, still afraid for a while, and then got up and walked away tremblingly.
The place where they live is close to the sea, and in later generations it should be a "sea view house", facing the sea in spring, but the land is not worth much in this era, it is everywhere, and it is not so precious.
However, Zimo did not go back to his "dormitory" directly, but went to the third master, Zhang Liang.
Zimo's biggest reliance in Confucianism is Zhang Liang, five years ago, Zimo who accidentally crossed into this world was just a nine-year-old boy, fortunately the third master Zhang Liang took him in, let him stay in Confucianism, study here.
Therefore, Zhang Liang is not only a teacher for Zimo, but also a benefactor, although he was a college student in his twenties in his previous life, but if he was put on hold in this chaotic ancient times, and accidentally became a nine-year-old child, it would have been finished without Mr. Zhang Liang.
In the past five years, Mr. Zhang Liang has taught Zimo a lot, and Zimo has almost been brainwashed by Confucianism.
"Third Master, I'm back." Zimo knocked on the door and walked in.
Zhang Liang smiled slightly, held the candlelight, put down the books in his hand, and made a very crisp "Di Li Di Li" sound, the books of this era are worn with bamboo slips, not only small capacity, but also very heavy.
"Well, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, it's good to have such a mind at this competitive age." Zhang Liang smiled.
Don't want to hide what happened near Xiaoshengxian Village, it's just that they usually uphold the golden mean and don't want to debunk it.
Zimo lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then said seriously: "Third Master, I want to go to Xianyang." ”。
Zhang Liang was not much surprised, Zimo had already told him once before, "Your strength is enough, you have reached the fourth level of Confucian exercises, you can also go out, at least you have the strength to protect yourself, you can go." ”
You can go!
Zimo has been waiting for this sentence for a long time, he clenched his fists tightly, I didn't come here to read and stir-fry, this world must change because of my appearance, and it can't be in vain.
"I just broke through the fourth layer a few days ago, and I want to go to the imperial court on an errand for some errand, and if the third master wants to go to Xianyang in the future, I can also be used as a guide." Zimo Dao.
Zhang Liang took a deep look at him, and had already approved of his going to Xianyang, but he was still a teenager after all, just fourteen years old, and there were some things that he still couldn't understand with him, but Zhang Liang completely regarded Zimo as a confidant and regarded him as his own.
"Wait a few days, in the name of our little sage village, I will write to His Majesty the Emperor and ask you for a half-official position." Zhang Liangdao.
Zhang Liang didn't break the words, but Zimo understood that his ambition was not limited to studying and lecturing in this small sage village, he also had a dream of recovering the country, and it was very advantageous to install an eyeliner in Xianyang City.
After saying this, Zimo said a few words in the vernacular here in Zhang Liang, which was nothing more than the words that the world is difficult and dangerous, and then Zimo left and returned to his residence.
Zimo is just an ordinary student in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, the people who study here live in a collective dormitory, a big room with many people, but it is not crowded, there is a big space between each bed, and when you open the window, there is the sea.
When he returned to the dormitory, the little fat man peeked at him, and then covered his head, not daring to move.
Zimo ignored him, washed and went to bed.
From the point of view of time, it has not been long since Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, and there are still two years before the beginning of the first hundred-step flying sword of Qin Shi Mingyue, which means that the current Tianming should be ten years old, and Shaoyu is twelve years old, and Zimo is older than them and is now fourteen years old.
Qin Shi Huang, Li Si, Gai Nie, General Fruit, Zhang Han, the base camp of the Yin and Yang family, they are all in Xianyang City now, and there is a wider world waiting for them, hehe, go your own way, so that Xuanji Niangniang has no way out.
Now Zimo's strength is the fourth layer of Confucian exercises, and there are a total of twelve layers of Confucian exercises, which are explained by the twelve contents of the word "benevolence" in Confucianism, namely: filial piety, brother (悌), loyalty, forgiveness, courtesy, knowledge, courage, courtesy, generosity, faith, sensitivity, and benefit.
The first layer is "Hui", and so on, and the twelfth layer is the realm of the word "filial piety", and the Confucian exercises have become the Renxue exercises, which is the reason.
The first to the fourth level is the realm of ordinary people, the average normal adult is the strength of the second realm, and the third layer is the strength of professionally trained soldiers.
The fourth layer is the strength of Zimo now, and this level is the strength of special elite soldiers, such as the strength of the shadow guard, or the strength of the personal guard.
The fifth to seventh layers are the realm of chivalry, and what people call "chivalry" is basically this realm.
The eighth to tenth layers are the realm of national warriors, which can also be said to be the realm of heroes, and when their strength reaches this level, they are all strong people who are known all over the world.
The eleventh and twelfth layers are the realm of saints, and there are very few who can reach this level, and each of them is a great figure that has been passed down through the ages.
But Zimo guessed that if there is one person in Confucianism who has reached the realm of a sage now, it is Xunzi.
This set of "benevolence" exercises was proposed by the ancestor of Confucianism, Confucius, who was also the only one recognized to have reached the twelfth level of the sage realm, and the later Mencius of Confucianism was at the eleventh level, and people called this realm a sub-sage.
The cultivation method of Confucianism was the most rigorous and complete in the world, and the highest state was called "benevolence", while the Mohists, who were also known as the two great scholars at that time, were inferior to Confucianism.
There are only ten levels of the Mo family's method, and the tenth realm is called "concurrent love", and Mozi, the ancestor of the Mo family, is at this level, but they also have organ techniques, and with the assistance of organ techniques in the tenth realm, they almost have the strength of the eleventh realm.
