After a long time, Master Cen opened his eyes, and when he noticed the current transformation, Rao was in his state of mind, and he couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

Two catastrophes of real people!

That's right, this is Master Cen's current cultivation realm, and even, as long as he wants to, he can completely attract a third thunder tribulation.

However, although his strength has increased greatly now, he has no intention of causing the third thunder tribulation.

This can be regarded as a situation unique to Confucianism, some scholars have been reading for a long time in the early stage, and a scolding can make the ghosts and gods retreat, but they themselves do not have much combat power, and an ordinary bandit and robber may be able to kill them.

Of course, this is not without benefits, otherwise Confucianism will not be able to fight the two Taoist and Buddhist schools with only the pen.

Just like Master Cen, Hao Shou has been poor for decades, during which he has not learned any Taoism and martial arts, but with years of accumulation, he can become a real person of the second tribulation, and even try the third thunder tribulation soon.

This is really a lot of progress, you know, every time after a thunderstorm, the monk has to go through at least a few years or even decades of precipitation before daring to carry out the next thunderstorm, during this period, if there is not much progress, the result is likely to be turned into ashes under the thunderstorm.

Generally speaking, monks who want to cross the tribulation are cautious and cautious, and will only carry out the next thunder tribulation after careful consideration, and in the case of several times in a row, except for Confucian disciples, there are really not many people in the world who dare to do so.

In Confucianism, the situation of Cen Fuzi is not a special case, it should be said that a large number of Confucians follow the same path as Cen Fuzi.

This is also why there will be voices in Confucianism that oppose the practice of martial arts and the cultivation of souls by his disciples, because for Confucianism, this is completely unnecessary. The practice of martial arts by the disciples will distract their minds, and eventually lead to displeasing to both sides.

Not everyone has the natural opportunities and resources like Lin Hu, and if most people cultivate step by step, it will take at least a few decades to reach the innate level, not to mention that they have to study various scriptures and meanings during the period.

In general, there are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. It doesn't necessarily mean that the cultivation method of a Confucian scholar like Cen Fuzi must be stronger than that of a Confucian scholar.

It still has to be different from person to person, if you have excellent personal qualifications and have enough resources and money, you might as well study and practice martial arts like Lin Hu, not only do not delay, but can save decades of time, so why not?

However, if there are some special talents, that's another story.

In Confucianism, there is a category of people called holy dependents. These people are naturally close to Confucianism, and countless scriptures can be thoroughly understood by turning their hands, turning them into their own use, and even bringing forth the new.

There are very few people who are saints, and one that may not appear in tens of thousands of years, and even if it does. It may not necessarily be discovered by Confucianism, except for a few lucky ones. More are still lost in the midst of all beings.

However, if the saint is lucky, he happens to be discovered by the forces to which Confucianism belongs, in the words of a certain anime in Lin Hu's previous life, that is, "Jin Lin is a thing in the pool, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm."

There are very few saints in history. But every one that was discovered was undoubtedly the pride of that era.

And the most famous saint is Mencius.

Mencius had a very high status in the Confucian temple, second only to Confucius, and there were countless branches of his lineage. Even the word Yasheng came from him.

However, Mencius is also quite sad, and in other periods, Mencius can be completely the existence of an era of suppression.

But in his time, there were many stars, and all kinds of peerless masterpieces were not available, and even he was just one of many bright stars.

Those sectarian forces that dominate one side will not be explained in detail, among the Taoists, there is a Zhuangzi, who crushed him hard, and in the Western Desert Buddha land, there is a monk named Rulai, and even among their Confucianism, there is also a Xunzi who is comparable to him.

In other families, there are also a large number of outstanding people such as Gongsun Long, Xu Xing, Zou Yan, Zhang Yi, etc., who may not be as good as Mencius, but they are definitely the same figures in their respective schools.

On the other hand, if it weren't for Xunzi's relatively alternative style of acting and inconsistent with Confucian orthodoxy, how could Mencius be faintly above Xunzi in terms of status alone?

Moreover, in terms of cultivating disciples, Mencius's disciples such as Wanzhang and Gongsun Chou are also very good, not only inheriting his Haoran way, but even taking into account his four-heart way.

But if you compare it with Xunzi's disciples, it will be more than a step behind, especially Xunzi's proud disciple Han Fei, although he is a great Legalist, but in the understanding of "Tao", it is an existence that can be compared with Zhuangzi.

It can be said that Mencius's life was both lucky and tragic, fortunately he was born in a great world, there are many outstanding people who can talk about the Tao and make progress together, and tragedy is also tragic in his birth in the great world, resulting in his life brilliant but not brilliant enough.

However, Mencius is extraordinary after all, and Mencius is most talked about for his catastrophe.

It is said that Mencius, like Cen Fuzi, followed the path of Confucianism and Confucianism, and had never learned any martial arts in his life.

That was to say, Mencius survived at least seven thunder tribulations at one time, setting a rare record for tribulations in ancient times.

Remember, at least, seven times is just a conservative estimate of later generations, some people think that Mencius was the nine thunder tribulations together, if it is not for the fear of being too shocking and causing people to be jealous, so he deliberately said that his own thunder tribulation is low.

Of course, this argument only exists in Confucianism, and in the eyes of Taoism, Buddhism, etc., it is obvious that Mencius of Confucianism is blowing serious nonsense.

However, even if it is seven thunder tribulations, there is no one among the descendants who have reached this height again, which no one can deny.

It was also this time that Mencius appeared in front of the world with amazing talent, and finally set his life as a sub-saint.

Some people say that it was Mencius's life that was so smooth that he stopped at Yasheng, and if he hadn't been born in that great world, maybe he wouldn't have even attained the dignity of Yasheng.

Although Confucianism is quite disdainful of this statement, it is impossible for Confucians to deny that no saint after Mencius has reached that height.

Besides, Master Cen, after becoming a real person in the Second Tribulation, he will live at least 300, that is to say, the problem of life expectancy that plagued him has finally been solved, and there is no need to say much about the excitement.

After returning to the academy, Master Cen's experience naturally caused quite a stir, and everyone who could survive several thunderstorms in a row was a genius, even if Master Cen was over eighty.

Originally, after becoming a real person, he was going to hold a big celebration and invite many relatives and friends to celebrate together, but Master Cen did not do this, but sent out invitations one after another three days before the child's full moon.

And this day is the full moon day of Master Cen's child...... (To be continued......)
