Chapter Seventy-Four: The Old Demon Sits in the Inn to Lecture, and the Confucian Sect wants to cut through the mess

In the inn, Xu Qi condensed the preface and re-told the key points he had talked about last night. Among the hundred or so Confucian scholars, seventy or eighty of them didn't come last night, although they each have their own thoughts, but since they came, Xu Qi also had to take care of it.

There are also more than 20 Confucian scholars who came yesterday, and Xu Qi is here to pick out the key points, and there are some side details, so the Confucian students who came yesterday explained in a low voice to the Confucian students beside him. Although it was not understood by Xu Qi in person, it was still possible to make the Confucian students who just came today understand seven or eight points.

Repeating the key points mentioned earlier, Xu Qikai talked about how to "do things practically".

Starting from the officialdom situation of "county officials are now in charge", Xu Qi gushed endlessly and said the practical methods of the Confucian students.

If these Confucian scholars talk about reason, An Shijimin will naturally have no thoughts. Xu Qi didn't want to talk to them either, so it would be no different from the rotten Confucians in Confucianism.

The best way for Confucian scholars to do this is to enter the court as officials, so that the people in the government and the opposition are of the same mind, and there are people in the state capital who practice it, and they are on the same path, so that they can implement what everyone thinks in their hearts.

Speaking of this section, Xu Qi didn't go into details, because not all the people in the field are concentric, and it is not convenient to talk about it in detail. However, Xu Qi didn't take the scene coldly, jumped away from this link, and talked about the matter of "building a temple for sacrifice".

If you want to compete with the immortal path among the people, you must give the people more intuitive and convenient benefits. Although the Immortal Sect also gives benefits to the people, not everyone can enjoy this benefit, but the beneficiaries are widely publicized.

It is really difficult to compete with the immortal means with manpower. But building a temple to worship, with the power of ghosts and gods, can accomplish this.

Towards Shinto, who was acting in secret, he used himself as a gun, and Xu Qi didn't have a good impression of Shinto. But it's one thing to have a good impression or not to have a good feeling, and it's another thing to use it or not.

Wangshan Village Ghost King Village Temple, the Ghost King exists with the help of the villagers' beliefs, and in turn can shelter one side of tranquility, wind and rain, which is a relationship between the two interdependents. Xu Qi had words again, and the ghost king Zhao Ziming couldn't bully the villagers. As long as the villagers give enough offerings, and the requirements are not excessive, the ghost king Zhao Ziming must do it honestly. It's not so much an offering as a bargain between the villagers and the ghost king.

This is another reason why Xu Qi doesn't have a good impression of Shinto. In Xu Qi's view, Shinto ghosts and gods can stand and exist, in addition to themselves, they must also have believers. If believers do not believe in worship, Shinto ghosts and gods will naturally have no foundation, what good use can they have?

If Shinto ghosts and gods want to gain the faith of their followers, they must first benefit the people. The people benefit and are grateful, and this is the faith and worship. However, Shinto regards this matter as a blessing, and it is not enough to worship by faith, but also to bow down and revere it, and this may not be able to do much for the people.

In this world, except for ghosts and gods such as the land, Xu Qi really hadn't heard of higher-order Shinto ghosts and gods, and the ten thousand lives in his hands had a great relationship with Shinto.

In this world, Shinto is not prosperous, and it can only descend a small amount of power in a world that is not known how far away. Xu Qi thought that ninety percent of this Shinto was also going to use his own hands to accomplish what Shinto himself could not do.

Xu Qi didn't bother to care about what the Shinto was going to do, anyway, there was no Shinto in the world right now, and he could turn into a divine spirit in his life, and he just followed what he thought in his heart to establish a Shinto that was in line with his own mind.

For these Confucian scholars, Xu Qi can only briefly mention the idea of "building temples and worshipping" and benefiting the people with Shinto ghosts and gods. Xu Qi also knew that although there was the power of "building temples and worshipping" in Confucianism, there were many rules and restrictions, and Confucianism could not fully accept it for a while. There is a step-by-step process in this, and it is unrealistic to want to make the Confucian scholars accept it all at once.

After talking for an hour, Chu Zhou collected the paper on which the Confucian scholars had written down the questions and handed it to Xu Qi. Xu Qi looked at the questions written down by the Confucian scholars, and was about to answer the questions, but a group of people came to the door of the inn.

The leader is none other than Yu Yang and Yu Changhong, the great venerable of Confucianism. Behind him were Confucian scholars, young and old, and at a cursory glance, there were probably fifty or sixty people.

Yu Yang came to the door of the inn and bowed his hand to Xu Qi in the inn: "Jiuyang seniors, juniors are polite." ”

Yu Yang came with everyone, and the Confucian students in the inn also saw it clearly, and suddenly guessed the intention of this group of people in their hearts.

Mr. Yu Yang had recognized himself as a junior in front of Mr. Jiuyang before, and he didn't think he would have any disputes with Mr. Jiuyang. So what is he bringing so many people here today?

Looking at the Confucian students in the inn, Yu Yang secretly said in his heart: "The rumors in the market are indeed true, Jiuyang's predecessors are indeed lecturing here." ”

These hundred and ten Confucian students did not live in one place, and when they came in the morning, they were also Confucian students from various inns who attracted each other and came together. Although there were not too many people in the early morning, the 100th Confucian students walked through the streets and alleys, which also attracted the attention of many people.

Later, the Confucian scholars went to the inn and bought paper and pencils, which attracted the attention of many onlookers. Someone went to inquire with the owner of the Four Treasures Shop in the Study, and the matter of "all Confucian students want to listen to Mr. Jiuyang's lecture" can be regarded as spreading.

Xu Qi entered the capital with a high posture, and made it clear that he had entered the Confucian Gate, and the Confucian Gate was very attentive to this inn, and some people were staring at the news here.

The fact that the Confucian scholars listened to Xu Qi's lecture was being seen by the Confucian people. After many inquiries proved that the news was accurate, he reported the news to the Confucian sect.

And in the past two days, the Confucian sect is discussing whether the Jiuyang Demon Venerable, who is a demon clan, can enter the Confucian sect. If you want to say that you can't, Jiuyang Demon Venerable has entered Wang Mingshi's door, and he still has a deep relationship with Confucianism;

Among the Confucianists, there are those who say they can, some who say they can't, some say that they can let the demon reincarnate again, and then worship Confucianism after turning into a human body, and some say that the Jiuyang Demon is worshiped as a predecessor outside the Confucianism, giving him an honorific title that has little to do with Confucianism, but he can't really enter Confucianism...... The opinions among the Confucian sects were divided into several groups, and the arguments were endless, but there was no result.

When the news arrived, there was a debate among the Confucian sects about the matter. Everyone was taken aback when they learned of this.

No one expected that Jiuyang Demon Venerable would have such an appeal that could make Confucian students spontaneously listen to his lectures.

There was a lot of controversy about this matter, but some people saw this matter clearly and said that they would settle this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be more Confucian students who will listen to the lectures of the Jiuyang Demon Venerable, and the influence of the Jiuyang Demon Venerable will be greater, and it will be troublesome to keep the Jiuyang Demon Venerable out of the Confucian sect at that time.

Right now, I just invited the Jiuyang Demon Venerable to argue with everyone. Whether he can enter the Confucian Sect was decided as early as possible before he had little influence.

Among the Confucian sects, those who are qualified to invite the Jiuyang Demon Venerable, and can talk to the Jiuyang Demon Venerable, are Yuyang. This matter fell on Yu Yang, and he invited the Jiuyang Demon Venerable.

Because of this, Yu Yang came to the inn.

"Mr. Yu Yang, what are you doing?"

Seeing Yu Yang come over with a group of people, Xu Qiyi really didn't know what Yu Yang meant for a while.

Yu Yang arched his hand and said: "Today's Confucian deliberations have something to do with Jiuyang's predecessors. The younger generation was ordered by the first seat to invite the seniors of Jiuyang. ”

"Oh?"

Yu Yang didn't explain what he said, but Xu Qi also heard a lot of things from it. What else can there be in the Confucian sect at the moment that has anything to do with him? It is nothing more than whether he can enter the Confucian sect or not.

Xu Qi originally pondered that the Confucian sect still had to discuss this matter, and it took a lot of time before he had to formally meet with the people in the Confucian sect, and he didn't want this matter to be so fast. Could it be that there is such a unity of opinion among Confucianism, and a unified opinion is reached within two or three days?

Glancing at the Confucian scholars who came to listen to him in front of him, Xu Qi suddenly understood in his heart, and said secretly in his heart: "I'm afraid this matter has a lot to do with these Confucian students...... Yesterday it was 20 people, today it is close to 100 people, how many people can come tomorrow to listen to my lectures? After a long time, I have gained influence among the Confucian scholars, and if the Confucian sect says that it will not let me enter the Confucian sect, it will cause a lot of controversy among the Confucian scholars. ”

"This is to take advantage of my lack of influence, to preemptively start, to end this matter here. Today, the rotten Confucians are entangled with me, but I am afraid that the matter of entering the Confucian sect is a little unsafe. ”

"In that case, you rotten Confucians should show me a good look, and see how I let you welcome me into the Confucian sect. ”

After pondering it in his heart, Xu Qi bowed his hand to Yu Yang and smiled: "Mr. Yu Yang, I came to invite this seat today, but for the sake of this seat to worship in the Confucian sect?"

In front of everyone, Xu Qi directly threw this matter out.

"This ......"

Yu Yang was stunned, and he didn't expect Xu Qi to ask this matter directly. After a slight hesitation, Yu Yang said truthfully: "The predecessors have been in the capital for a few days, and the Confucian sect has never met with the seniors, and even more talked about the matter of the seniors entering the Confucian sect. After today's affairs are straightened out, I am about to invite my seniors to talk about my seniors' entry into Confucianism. ”

"Enter the Confucian Sect?"

Xu Qiyi smiled and said what Yu Yang didn't say: "I'm afraid I want to talk about whether this seat can enter the Confucian Sect, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the Confucian scholars who came to listen to the lecture immediately exchanged their heads and had a lot of discussions.

Xu Qi lectured, and rarely talked about it, only a practical analysis of the situation, analysis of the pros and cons, and then said how to practice what he thought step by step. At first, the Confucian students were not used to it, but after listening to it, they got used to it.

Although this Mr. Jiuyang is a demon clan, the idea of the concept he talked about is indeed from the perspective of ordinary people, and he has a set of methods in his chest, which is obviously not a foolish language made up randomly.

Although the demon venerable is a demon body, the idea he said is based on the people of the world, and it is obviously taught by the Confucian master Wang Mingshi. Entering Confucianism is really a matter of course, where is there any "can"?

Listening to the whispered discussion of Confucianism, Yu Yang and Xu Qi had their own ideas in their hearts.

Without waiting for Yu Yang to speak, Xu Qi arched his hand and said: "Back to Confucianism, this is the last order of the family teacher, and this matter should indeed be discussed." But at the moment, there are still some things to take care of in this seat, and I have to leave Beijing immediately. After three days, I will be able to come back, and then I will go to the Confucian sect and meet with the Confucian masters. ”

At present, the Confucian sect wants to cut through the mess quickly, and if you want to enter the Confucian sect, the odds of winning are quite low. But Xu Qi also has confidence in his heart that he only needs three days. Even if he is not in the capital within these three days, after three days, his chances of entering the Confucian Sect can be increased by seventy.

Three days is enough.
