Chapter 33: The World of Datong
"Inside this jade slip, my entire understanding of the method of water escape is sealed. All you have to do is put it on your eyebrows, then empty yourself and you'll automatically receive the message. Because I made it specially, I can understand it repeatedly. ”
This is actually very convenient, but Jiang Hua still asked: "Is there that kind of method that can be comprehended by others in an instant?" ”
The Changkong Daoist nodded seriously: "Yes, yes, but it's inconvenient for you." There is more than one treasure in your sea of knowledge. Some of these treasures are designed to protect the soul from pollution. Some are the spirit of guardianship that makes them tenacious. At this time, if you use a similar method on you, it will be automatically blocked by the treasure. ”
"True cultivation is actually about cultivating the mind. Whether it's bloodline or qi training, in the end, it's all about heart training. It's just that different ways of practicing the mind are different, some are self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world, some are contemplating meditation and forgetting the fetus, and some are making great wishes, and then the unity of knowledge and action, working towards the great wish, and infecting others in the process, and some are the ultimate self-control......"
"Those bloodline cultivators, through various ways to sharpen their bodies, and finally tame the desires in the depths of the bloodline, is also a way to refine the mind. So the heart is very important, and from the moment you are born, there are treasures that have entered your heart to protect you. ”
"And the method I learned was pioneered by Confucius. Confucius's method is to perceive the consciousness of all things, and finally understand each other in all things, and achieve the legendary harmony, which is the so-called world of great harmony. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Hua scratched his head directly, and suddenly he couldn't understand it. What does the consciousness of all things have to do with the world of great harmony?
Looking at Jiang Hua's confused appearance, the Changkong Daoist couldn't help but shake his head: "In the past, your qualifications and perseverance were far inferior to this moment, so at that time, you went to the cultivation path wholeheartedly and worked hard to cultivate, there was no problem." But now that you are the Taishou of Yancheng, the lord of millions of people, you must be well-informed. I don't want you to know all the details, but a preliminary understanding is a must. ”
After a reminder, the Changkong Daoist continued: "Everyone has consciousness and ideas. Different people think differently. The same person, different times still have different ideas. Not to mention making humans understand each other, even if one person understands himself, many times it can't be done. ”
"You in the past may not be able to understand you now. The future you can't understand the current you. Therefore, the world of great harmony in which everyone understands each other will hardly come. It wasn't until Confucius founded Confucianism that he created a special method of refining the mind, making it possible for everyone to understand each other. ”
"As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, if everyone can truly understand each other, even if they can't reach the legendary world of Datong, they are not far away."
But how can people understand each other? Can savages, commoners, and Chinese people understand each other? Can the big nobles and the small nobles understand each other? Taoists and nobles can understand each other? As he spoke, Jiang Hua shook his head again and again, this was impossible to achieve at all.
Therefore, in Confucius's vision, human beings are only divided into gentlemen who can understand others, ordinary people who cannot understand others, and the most special villains. There is no distinction between aristocrats, countrymen, and qi practitioners, only three identities: gentlemen, ordinary people, and villains. ”
"Using the special method passed down by Kong Sheng, you can practice your mind. After practicing the mind, you can initially perceive the thoughts of others, and you can also directly transmit your own thoughts to the depths of other people's hearts, so that two people can truly understand each other and empathize. ”
"But it's too hard, there's so little that can be done. So slowly, there is the so-called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, first with the help of these beautiful dreams that everyone believes in to condense commonalities, first let strangers reach a consensus on benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, etc., and then understand each other. ”
"The so-called benevolence is essentially communication and understanding. The method of refining the mind handed down by Confucius is essentially the communication and exchange between people and people, people and demons, people and things, and even people and everything. ”
"Although I studied the Tao in the Tokaido Palace, Confucius's method of refining the mind is also recorded there, and there are not a few people who study and study. And I happen to have a small success, so that you can gain my understanding of cultivation without any problems, let alone a small method of water escape. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Hua was shocked!
This Confucian saint is taking the path of mutual understanding, mutual recognition, and finally eliminating estrangement and achieving the world of great harmony. Whether this idea can be realized, Jiang Hua did not comment. But to have this kind of thinking and actually come up with a way to realize it must be an extremely great being.
"Can Kong Sheng himself understand everything?" Jiang Hua suddenly asked.
"I don't know, but when Kong Sheng traveled around the world, he persuaded many people and left a lot of allusions. For example, Zhong You was a reckless man at the beginning, and he was the kind of reckless man whose bloodline was about to get out of control and completely turned into a fierce beast, and after meeting Kong Sheng, he was directly convinced. Now, it's also a big shot. ”
"There is also the unicorn under the Confucian Throne, which is said to have been a real fierce beast. Later, when he was in turmoil, he met Kong Sheng, who had been listening to the sermons under Kong Sheng's seat for many years, and the brutal desire in his body had gradually disappeared, and he was already a real heaven and earth divine beast. ”
Looking at the Changkong Daoist with admiration on his face, Jiang Hua's thoughts were completely different from her.
Ahem
After coughing, Jiang Hua asked slowly, "Can you use this method to refine some magic weapons with special functions?" ”
"Kong Sheng chose benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, so can we refine a treasure specially designed to inspire people, a treasure that makes people forget their fears? A treasure of courage? ”
"To be specific, if we can refine a set of war drums, the moment the soldiers hear the drums, they will be full of courage, and even if they suffer heavy damage, they will not take the initiative to escape. When training in peacetime, can we refine treasures that allow soldiers to train seriously and not be lazy? ”
"If it is used on the governance side, can it refine the mirror that makes people tell the truth? If the truth is told, the mirror glows white, and if the truth is telled, the mirror glows black. Hang this mirror directly above the city gate, and you can see this mirror when you enter and exit every day, so that the security in the city will also be greatly improved. ”
"I don't expect to immediately evolve to the point where everyone is a gentleman and everyone can understand each other, but is it okay to use the Tao in daily life, in military training, in war, and in the school palace to improve the learning efficiency of students? Uncle Shi, can you do it? What are the difficulties? ”
Jiang Hua's face was full of shock just now, and although the Changkong Dao people were not full of shock at this moment, they also thought for a long time: "Whether or not to lie is very idealistic, and things related to the soul are very idealistic." Even if it is refined, there may be mistakes, such as: a person lies, but he thinks he is not lying, and eventually the mirror collects his thoughts and determines that he is not lying. ”
"It's okay to have it, it's better than nothing, this kind of bad seed is a minority after all. What about the others? ”
"If the army is in the army, what is needed is courage, so that the soldiers have the commonality of courage, you have to make them believe first, at the beginning, you can only believe in it, and ...... spirit"
Although all the words were difficult, the expressions of the people of the Long Sky Dao slowly became excited. She felt it was a new world......
