CHAPTER XIII

By looking through the past deeds of Confucianism, combined with the entire history of the prosperity of Confucianism and Taoism, Su Mu found one thing.

Before the rise of Confucianism, the only way in the world that could lead directly to the saints was medicine, law, soldiers, and Buddhas.

At that time, the highest Confucian and Taoist monks were only the fourth rank, and there were no monks of the upper third rank at all.

Later, the Confucian saint rose, reached the fourth grade at the age of sixteen, the bottleneck of Confucian cultivation, and then precipitated for four years, and finally broke through this limit at the age of twenty and became the first Confucian cultivator in history to reach the upper third grade.

He is also the first person to raise a righteous spirit!

The emergence of Haoran righteousness has pointed out a path for scholars all over the world, making them understand that if they want to reach the upper three grades, they must not only be highly educated.

But the real Confucianism needs to have the lofty ambition of governing the country and the world and seeking peace for all people!

In this way, it can be called a "Confucian" word!

The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear.

Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned.

If you live in a temple, you are worried about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about your king.

The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy.

The Confucian sage used these teachings to explain to all scholars what kind of mind it takes to become a true Confucian.

Learning is just the knowledge you have, what's the use of not asking about things outside the window and burying your head in books?

If you can't be virtuous and have no ambition to govern the country and the people, you can't cultivate a heroic spirit.

In that way, no matter how high the knowledge is, it is just a book bag.

"Before Confucianism and Taoism, it was already at the end of the middle and third grades, and it was Confucianism who opened up a new path and became holy."

"I can't take the path of Confucianism anymore, but I don't believe that these are the only ways to become holy!"

"There is no road in the world, the road is walked by people, since the Confucian sage can do it, why can't I?"

Su Mu's eyes were firm, he didn't intend to accept his fate.

Everyone has crossed over, why is he worse than Confucianism? He didn't believe it.

But soon Su Mu began to make trouble again, because he didn't know which way to start.

"What path am I going to cultivate? How to cultivate? ”

Su Mu returned to the room and sat by the window, frowning and thinking for a long time, without the slightest clue.

When the Confucian saint crossed over from the world, there was Confucianism and Taoism there, so he didn't have to worry about what to choose, and he just copied the poems without a brain.

He was now rummaging through all kinds of books, but he couldn't find any other path other than the five major cultivation paths.

Could it be that he can only be a vulgar military cultivator?

Su Mu quickly pinched this thought, and the Soldier Saint and the Law Saint were defeated by the Confucian Saint together, which was simply too profitable.

We have to find a path that is no less than Confucianism......

He was suddenly stunned when he thought of this, and then a bold idea came to his mind, so that he couldn't help but slap himself and scolded: "I'm such a fool! ”

He found out that he was really a fan of the authorities.

Why did he have to worry about which way to take the Three Thousand Avenue? This is all the world of Xianxia, what body do you practice and what books do you read? He directly started cultivating immortals!

Su Mu suddenly brightened up and was extremely excited.

In the 5,000-year history of China, the most influential sects that have been passed down are Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism!

Now there are Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, but the Taoism is still blank, at least he has not heard of the existence of Taoist monks.

Then he can completely take the route of Daomen Immortal Cultivation!

Buddha is the Tao, Confucianism and Taoism are also bred from the Taoist thought, and Lao Tzu was once a sage teacher.

Which point of Taoism is worse than Confucianism?

And in the records of the Daomen, there are people who have ascended to immortals! And more than one!

In the previous life, the earth was still like this, so in this Xianxia world that could have been cultivated, I am afraid it is even more suitable.

Therefore, cultivating immortals is the only way out for him, and how to cultivate immortals has long been written in online novels.

"Cultivating immortals is different from other roads, this is a very clear road, which can directly point to the golden road of becoming immortals and soaring."

"But how should I cultivate? Where to find exercises? ”

"I don't know if I have a spiritual root......

Su Mu frowned, the path was determined, but how to cultivate was another big problem.

Daomen has Dao Zang for cultivation, but those Dao Zang are not things that he can touch as an ordinary person, although he has also read some Dao Sect classics, but he has not remembered much.

Among them, the most impressive is the Tao Te Ching.

The Tao Te Ching is known as the Taoist Ancestral Book, which is written by the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu, which is full of infinite truth.

Su Mu is familiar with ancient books, and he is quite familiar with the Tao Te Ching, a sage classic, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has memorized it backwards.

Because he has a habit of meditating and reciting the Tao Te Ching whenever he is upset.

This will quickly calm his mind.

When I had just crossed over and couldn't move my body, in addition to the company of my mother Xu, I also relied on the Tao Te Ching to stabilize my mind and get through that tormented time.

Therefore, when it comes to Taoist classics, the first thing that comes to his mind is the Tao Te Ching, but although this book is wonderful and is regarded as a must-read book by countless people, it is not a cultivation exercise.

After thinking about it, Su Mu finally gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, whatever, can you try it!" ”

If you try, you may not succeed, but if you don't try, you won't succeed.

As soon as he said it, Su Mu got up and closed the doors and windows, returned to the bed and meditated cross-legged, and put on a meditative posture with his heart facing the sky.

Then he adjusted his breathing, slowing his heartbeat, so that his pulse and breathing rate gradually converged.

He still knows the basic way of meditation and breathing, breathing in a long and short way, which is the standard method of breathing.

The so-called long one means that the inhalation time is long, and as for the short three, the exhalation time is only one-third of the inhalation.

This way of breathing is quite uncomfortable and difficult to persevere, but Su Mu still insists on it, and at the same time recites the Tao Te Ching.

"The Tao is the way, not the constant way. The name can be named, not the permanent name. The beginning of the nameless world; The mother of all things.

Therefore, there is often nothing, and I want to see it; Often, I want to see it. These two are the same and have different names.

The same is called the mystery, the mystery and the mystery, the door of all wonders......"

Su Mu silently recited the Tao Te Ching, and soon he was shocked to find that with his silent recitation, just a moment later, he felt a faint air flow gathering in his dantian!

"Can it really work?!"

Feeling the breath in his dantian, Su Mu was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he just wanted to try it with the intention of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he really succeeded!

The Tao Te Ching can really be cultivated!

Under the surging heart, this qi in Su Mudantian almost dissipated, which made him startled.

He didn't dare to be distracted anymore, so he quickly concentrated on reciting the Tao Te Ching silently, and no longer thought about other things.

Quickly immersed in the text of the Tao Te Ching.

He had been through so much in the past few days that his spirit was a little tired, so now that he started to meditate, his whole body sank into it involuntarily.

Su Mu's consciousness gradually blurred, his whole body was relaxed and natural, as if he had become nothingness, merging into heaven and earth.

His whole person was in an unusually mysterious realm, and he was not aware of everything around him.

And as Su Mu began to recite the Tao Te Ching silently, the aura in the room also began to fluctuate, and slowly flowed towards him.

He had completely entered the state of cultivation.

At that moment, the window was suddenly pushed open.

A sneaky figure burrowed into the room, and it was the red-haired bird.

"Su Mu, Master Bird, I am a big yellow girl, you kissed me, but you have to be responsible for me."

"In the future, I will be your bird......"

The red-haired big bird said with a twisted face, but when it looked up at Su Mu on the bed, it couldn't help but froze.

Because it saw Su Mu sitting cross-legged on the bed in a strange posture, his eyes tightly closed.

At the same time, a faint layer of fluorescence appeared on his body, which was the heaven and earth aura that was constantly gathering.

The whole person is filled with a very mysterious feeling.

"What is he doing here?"

The big red-haired bird widened its eyes in disbelief.

Su Mu is now constantly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and he is cultivating, and with his knowledge, he can't see what Su Mu is cultivating.

It is neither the way of soldiers, nor the way of Buddhism and medicine, nor the way of Confucianism and Dharma, but a way that he has never seen before.

More like ...... Goblin!

Because the demon clan is like this, it is the aura of heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and after thousands of years of hard cultivation to become a great demon, it has to go through the thunder tribulation, which can be described as very hard.

Therefore, more demons choose to directly slaughter the human race and suck the blood and soul of the human race, which can greatly increase the cultivation speed.

In its opinion, Su Mu's current methods are quite similar to demons!

But Su Mu is a human being!

Just when the red-haired bird was full of puzzlement, it saw Su Mu's lips twitching, as if he was saying something.

After hesitating for a moment, the red-haired bird cautiously leaned over, and only then did he hear what Su Mu said clearly.

“…… Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs.

Between heaven and earth, is it still like a slurrel? Void but unyielding, moving and out. It is better to stay in the middle ......"

Su Mu's voice was ethereal and lofty, and it fell on the ears of the red-haired bird, causing its body to tremble, as if it had been struck by lightning.

It didn't know what Su Mu was reading, but every sentence and every word seemed to contain infinite Dao Zhizhi, like a flood bell ringing in its mind!

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs!
