Chapter 526: Founder Ring Ruler
Jia Yuliang's voice was a little hesitant, but he finally made this request, he is a traditional archaeologist, and it would be a pity if such a rare antiquity became someone's private collection.
If it were an ordinary person, Jia Yuliang could also consider applying for funds from the museum to buy this tiger talisman, but Lu Chong in front of him was a master who was not short of money, and this method would not work for him.
And because of Lu Chong's former military status, this tiger talisman should have a special attraction for him, and in this case, even Jia Yuliang himself has little confidence in this request.
But unexpectedly, after Lu Chong took the tiger talisman in his hand and fumbled for a while, he handed it to Jia Yuliang very simply.
"Professor Jia, since this thing is so precious, then I have you to help arrange it and put it in a more suitable place!"
Not only Jia Yuliang, but everyone including Zeng Wenyu looked at Lu Chong in disbelief, such a precious thing is too generous.
Lu Chong was secretly happy in his heart, after figuring out the origin of this tiger talisman, he had successfully absorbed the power contained in it, and the tiger talisman itself was useless to him.
The flickering light on this tiger talisman was not as strong as that of the soul statue, and it only added less than 100,000 worship power to Lu Chong, but it brought him a precious unit of special faith power again.
Loyal Soul Faith: Automatically transfer the power of Loyal Soul Faith, this faith and the soul of War Song are in perfect condition, can be used without restrictions, and cannot be permanently consumed!
Just now, Lu Chong was still wondering if there was a chance to get more Battle Soul Beliefs, but he didn't expect it to be realized so quickly, with the Battle Soul Beliefs of these two units, he would no longer have any restrictions on using instantaneous low-level War Songs in the future.
However, Lu Chong did not indulge in the surprise that the Tiger Talisman brought to him, because up to now, there was only one artifact he entrusted to Zeng Wenyu to investigate, whose origin had not yet been explained.
Judging from the process they just explained, it is obvious that the more precious things are placed in the back, which means that this ruler has more origin than the tiger talisman.
And for Lu Chong, the golden light of faith contained in this ruler is what he urgently needs now, after all, although he has obtained three units of special faith power in a row, he is still nearly eighty years away from upgrading to a high-level sacrifice with a hundred units of faith power.
Lu Chong's generosity seemed to have infected other people, and without letting him wait, the highly respected Su Nanming took the initiative to stand up and pointed to the last ruler on the table.
"Lu Chong, do you know the ring ruler?"
Although teachers do not advocate corporal punishment of students, almost everyone in rural areas has such an artifact.
When Lu Chong was studying under the old man, he had been exposed to the board made of Nan bamboo, and of course he was not unfamiliar with this name.
This ruler Lu Chong looked rusty when he got it, and Lu Chong didn't dare to deal with it for fear of destroying the golden light contained in it. But now the rust on it has been removed, and some symbols can be faintly seen engraved on the ruler, and the golden light on it has not been affected in any way.
"Senior Su, do you mean that this is a ring ruler? But as far as I know, the ring rulers are all made of bamboo and wood, and no gentleman has been ruthless enough to use an iron ruler to teach students, right?"
Lu Chong glanced at the ruler on the table, this is obviously a ruler made of metal, could it be a ring ruler? Is this to beat the students to death?
Su Nanming smiled and said: "Although the role of the ruler is for punishment, the significance of its square, square, and straight, and even more standard and scale is to warn students of the truth. ”
"The ring ruler you got is very large, but it comes from the hand of Ercheng, the ancestor of science in the Song Dynasty, although the science is quite controversial in later generations, but it attaches great importance to the word rules, which can be said to be to an extreme extent. And this ruler was forged by Ercheng under that circumstance to demonstrate the righteousness of Confucianism and Taoism. ”
Rao had expected that the origin of this foot was not small, and Lu Chong was still taken aback when he heard this.
The so-called Ercheng is the joint name of Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, and the two of them, together with Zhou Dunyi, are jointly respected as the ancestors of the Confucian school of science, and are regarded as the most important figures in the revival of Confucianism and Taoism.
After the second journey, Zhu Xi of the Ning Dynasty collected the achievements of several people's science, turned science into an official doctrine and popularized it, and finally became the designated content of the imperial examination of the Chinese State that lasted for thousands of years in later generations.
In ancient times, the imperial examination was the only way for scholars from poor families to advance to the official career, so it can be said that this Confucianism and Taoism have influenced the history of China for nearly a thousand years.
If this is the case, then it is not surprising that there is so much power of faith condensed on this ruler. Lin Liben had mentioned earlier when he popularized the religious power of China to Lu Chong that Confucianism was the religion with the largest number of followers in China.
Although Confucianism does not have a special method of cultivation and the act of birth and cultivation like Taoism and Buddhism, every scholar can be regarded as its followers, and becoming an official and administering the country for those in power is exactly the method of their practice in the world.
As a precept ruler forged by Ercheng, the founder of the school of science, its representative significance in Confucianism is no less than that of Taoism and Buddhism, and it will certainly be admired by many Confucians.
In the nearly 1,000-year history of the Song Dynasty, I don't know how many scholars have been born, and I don't know how many of them have a sincere belief in Confucianism and Taoism.
Among these people, I don't know how many people are full of recognition of the artistic conception of squareness, righteousness and straightness contained in the ring ruler cast by Ercheng.
Moreover, according to the law of the power of worship that Lu Chong has learned, the more people who are worshipped by themselves, the stronger the power of worship can provide, and the same should be true of the power of faith.
As a Confucian Taoist who has governed the world for thousands of years, countless officials in the world are from under him, and there are not a few of these officials who enjoy the support of all the people, and the power of faith they can provide is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
"The name of this ring ruler is called Fangzheng Ruler, the ancestor is fortunate to be from the same period as Ercheng, and there is a slight record of this in the text that has been handed down, so this time I was lucky to figure out the origin!"
Su Nanming's ancestor Su Dongpo and others were contemporaries of Ercheng, and at that time, both their reputation and official position were still above Ercheng.
They can be asked to leave a text specifically for this square ruler, which can also be seen the great influence of this ruler at the beginning.
