"It's a nice day, you can go out for a walk with me. Shangguan Jinglun said to Li Qingshan.

Wu Laoru stopped talking, regained his cold demeanor, and walked back to the room to sort out the classics of the six arts.

Shangguan Jinglun and Li Qingshan walked out of the Holy Book Building one after the other.

Peach Blossom Academy, as the name suggests, in the name of peach blossoms, has the meaning of peach blossoms, and does educational things. The academy is extremely elegant, with large and small courtyards, intersecting in an orderly manner, pavilions and pavilions, simple and elegant, and poems on monuments and poems, abounding. There are many famous trees and flowers, of course, the most is the peach blossom, there are many varieties, there are white peaches, red peaches, five-color peaches, thousand petals of red peaches, a cluster of opens, and other famous flowers reflect each other, the purple and red, the bees fly and butterflies dance.

The two walked one after the other, walked to a pavilion by the river and stopped. The pavilion is hung with a plaque with the words "Guanlan Pavilion" written in cursive. The vast river in front of the pavilion flows eastward. The mountains in the distance are like ink, and the river and sky are the same color, blending into one.

Shangguan Jinglun looked at the river, and suddenly asked Li Qingshan: "You haven't practiced swords for a few days, have you?"

Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and said, "I haven't practiced for several days." Since traveling down the mountain, every time I stop at the inn, I have practiced at night. But a few days ago, I was ambushed in Baihuling, and the package and sword were given to my Uncle Chu to take away. ”

Shangguan Jinglun nodded and said, "I heard Chu Sihai say that although you have not learned swordsmanship, you have understood the sword intent. You'll go back to your room and see that the package and Excalibur are there. ”

Li Qingshan was overjoyed and said, "Uncle Chu is also here?"

Shangguan Jinglun shook his head: "I went to Taohua County two days earlier, and I have already met him. Yesterday he was at the docks with me, peeking at you guys. But he didn't come to the academy later, and the package was handed over to Meng Chaoqi along with the divine sword to bring back. ”

Li Qingshan said disappointedly: "Then where did Uncle Chu go?" He went to Xianlai Mountain at the age of six, and lived in Xianlai Temple with the old Taoist priest and Chu Sihai, and was in one place every day for ten years. Since going down the mountain, he has been inseparable from Chu Sihai. Now that I suddenly haven't seen Chu Sihai, I always feel a sense of loss.

Shangguan Jinglun looked at Li Qingshan's expression and soothed: "You don't have to be sad. Chu Sihai is not a monk and cultivator, and his heart is still there. His home is in Liuyun County, next door to Peach Blossom County, and he hasn't been home for more than ten years, so he should also be worried, so he went back for a while. After a while, he will come to you. ”

Li Qingshan cried out "ah", thinking that he would have to rely on himself for this trip in the future.

Shangguan Jinglun seemed to see Li Qingshan's thoughts, and said: "In this land of Dongzhou, there are me and Chu Sihai, and no one can touch you." It's the spring season now, and I want you to go out of Dongzhou after the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

Li Qingshan nodded, looking at Shangguan Jinglun with great reverence.

Shangguan Jinglun smiled and said kindly: "The old Taoist priest taught you to lay an extremely solid foundation. Now that you have a strong physique, a liberal arts and sciences, a dusty temperament, and an understanding of sword intent, and the foundation of Taixuan Taixu Divine Skill, your future future should be limitless. After some time, I will teach you a set of unparalleled swordsmanship that contains the spirit of heaven and earth. ”

Li Qingshan said: "What kind of swordsmanship? The old Taoist priest once said that I should not learn ordinary martial arts moves. So to this day, he hasn't taught me every move. ”

Shangguan Jinglun laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting." The old Taoist priest really didn't take the usual path. This set of swordsmanship I gave you is naturally unusual. Do you know that the ancient Confucians were all poetry and wine, taking advantage of their youth, and going to the end of the world with swords. They were all skilled in bows and horses, and their swordsmanship was so rare that some of the swordsmanship remained in the ancient scrolls. That set of swordsmanship was naturally obtained from the ancient scrolls. This set of swordsmanship is worthy of your Purple Cloud Divine Sword. I'll teach you tomorrow!"

Li Qingshan nodded happily. The two stopped to watch the river for a while, and saw that it was getting late before returning.

Back in the Yayuan room, Li Qingshan really saw that the package and the coarse cloth tightly tied with the divine sword were there, so he excitedly took out the divine sword, only to see that the purple-red sword body emitted a brilliant glow. He stroked the sword lightly, flicked the back of the sword with his index finger, and exhaled deeply, and the sword pointed out flatly, without any deviation and without shaking at all.

On the second day, Li Qingshan got up on the fifth watch and continued to recite his homework, and then practiced for a while to strengthen his body, and then walked to the Holy Book Building. When I came to the building, all the people in the pavilion went to the empty building, and only Xia Youyi of the martial arts pavilion was guarding the town. He saluted Xia Youyi, and was about to ask where everyone had gone. Xia Youyun spoke first: "The palace master has given a lecture, everyone has gone to listen to the lecture, and I am the only one who guards the building." ”

Li Qingshan said goodbye and walked out and hurriedly walked to the big flat.

Sure enough, I saw that the ground of Daping was full of people, more than yesterday, including white-clothed Confucian scholars, Xuanyi warriors, and all the pavilion masters of the Holy Book Building, among which Wu Laoru, the head of the ten masters of Chongwen Palace, was also among them. Everyone was performing the disciple's ritual, kneeling and sitting in silence, listening to the lecture of one person on the high platform.

That person is not anyone, it is one of the "three saints" who are famous all over the world and admired by everyone, the palace master of Chongwen Palace in Dongzhou, the only one in the world who has entered the saint by literature, and the only Confucian superlative figure in the world - Shangguan Jinglun.

Shangguan Jinglun is still wearing a blue cloth today, with a solemn face and a serious expression. Although he is already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, his temples are slightly frosty, but his eyes are calm like water, his breath is like mountains and seas, and he is not angry and arrogant, which makes people awe-inspiring.

He held an ancient book in his left hand, a feather fan in his right hand, and a ring ruler on the table.

Li Qingshan sat down at the end of the crowd and listened attentively.

"Today, I will speak a word 'Tao' for you. The ancient sages said that it is okay to die at night. All of us should take it as our responsibility to ask, participate in the Tao, enlighten the Tao, and do the Tao, and help the people of the world with our own way. ”

"The way of the ancient sages has the way of heaven and humanity. For thousands of years, hundreds of schools of thought, three religions and nine streams have their own views on the way of heaven and humanity. However, I believe that only Confucianism has the best description of heaven and humanity. The ancients said: The flow of Confucianism is covered by the official of Situ, and the one who helps people, follows yin and yang, and enlightens people. You Wen is in the Six Classics, paying attention to the occasion of benevolence and righteousness, the ancestor Shu Yao Shun, the charter of Wenwu, and the grandmaster Zhong Ni, to emphasize his words, and the 'Tao' is the highest. ”

"If you travel to the Six Classics and pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, you must enter Confucianism, cultivate the Tao, carry the Tao with literature, and cultivate people with literature. ”

Everyone in the audience listened respectfully, paying full attention, lest they miss a word. What's more, he used his pen to write wildly, hoping to record every word of the saint below.

"However, today, martial arts are prosperous, literature and Taoism are declining, and Confucianism is not prosperous. The world is killing, fighting endlessly, fighting fiercely, sects fighting, brothers cannibalizing, and the people are unbearable. Over time, the world has become more angry, the literary atmosphere has gradually weakened, and the etiquette has collapsed, so that everyone in the world says that they are useless scholars, and they all say in vain that 'every righteous slaughter of dogs, and the negative heart is mostly a scholar'. How can we be willing to read?

Shangguan Jinglun said that when he was excited, his volume increased sharply. When many Confucian scholars in the audience heard this, they seemed to resonate, and they were all moved, and they all shouted: "Unwilling!"

Although there were only thousands of Confucian students, the voice was like a mountain and a sea, shaking in Taohuapu and soaring into the sky.

Shangguan Jinglun continued: "Since I ruled Dongzhou, I have respected literature and education, and Dachang Confucianism, so as to cultivate and read heirlooms. We want everyone to cultivate themselves with literature and strengthen themselves with martial arts. Is it because everyone is wondering, which is the first, the way of literature or the way of martial arts?"

"Fish is what I want, and bear's paws are also what I want, and I can't have both, and he who gives up fish and takes bear's paws. In Dongzhou, the bear's paw is Wen Daoye. Although it is difficult to cultivate, it is not impossible to cultivate. You don't see it, the ten masters of Chongwen Palace, and the Confucian cultivators can all enter the realm of qi or the realm of refining gods. Your Peach Blossom Academy's Wu Laoru is the head of the Ten Masters, and he is in the early stage of the God Refining Realm. Master Wu, you should try your Divine Refining Realm!"

When everyone heard this, they were all very excited, and their eyes brushed their eyes to look at Wu Laoru in the front row.

Wu Laoru looked calm, stood up and waved at everyone, then pointed to a scripture on the desk in front of him, and shouted "up", and the scripture book was actually suspended in the air.

Wu Laoru shouted again, "Page 20!" The scriptures turned page by page in the air, and when they reached the twentieth page, they really stopped.

Everyone was dumbfounded, knowing that there were few people in the world who could do what they wanted.

"Return!" The scripture returned to the desk in front of Wu Laoru. He smiled slightly, waved at everyone, and did his deeds.

The crowd erupted in thunderous applause, and some even opened their mouths to applaud. Some people secretly have a desire for Confucian cultivation in their hearts.

Shangguan Jinglun waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Confucian practice, I have previously determined that it is divided into literary Confucianism and martial Confucianism. Confucianism needs to study quietly, become a great sage and wisdom, and educate all people. Wu Confucianism needs to be cultivated both civil and military, according to the Confucian general knowledge, view of the law, internal illumination, nourishment, vitality, practice of gods, transcendent a total of seven realms, one by one. ”

"What is the explanation of these seven realms? I will explain them one by one. ”

"General knowledge, that is, reading through the Six Classics, knowing poetry, books, rituals, and music. ”

"Contemplating the law, that is, contemplating the law with literature, and observing the norms of the world from the words of the ancients. ”

"Internal illumination, that is, looking at internal illumination, taking care of the internal organs, mind and spirit. ”

"Anger, that is, to raise the qi of Haoran, burn incense and sit silently, hug your knees and chant, biochemical vitality, breath is generated in the five internal organs, the eight veins of the strange meridians, and the cycle runs over and over again. ”

"Practicing the gods, that is, transforming the vitality, practicing the qi and transforming the gods, practicing the qi and the gods, the qi is classified into the gods, and the divine power is self-contained. ”

"Transcendental, that is, to enter the sainthood, to this realm, can almost pass through the heavens and the earth. ”

Shangguan Jinglun's voice floated down one after another. Although his voice was gentle but very penetrating, every word clearly reached everyone's ears, and then to the heart, which seemed to open the door of everyone's heart and open the light in their hearts.

Two hours later, Shangguan Jinglun stopped silent and closed his eyes in meditation. Meng Chao, a middle-aged Confucian scholar, stood up and said to everyone: "Today's lecture is over. When you go back, you must understand it carefully. If you have any feelings, write it out in time and hand it over to me. ”

The crowd seemed reluctant to leave. With a wave of Shangguan Jinglun's green robe, everyone stood up one after another and rushed out.

Li Qingshan was still stunned, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. Taoism and Confucianism? Which one is more capable of helping the world, and which one is the great way of the world? Old Taoist priest, old gentleman, which one is powerful, and which one is the hope of all the people in the world?

He was stunned, and Shangguan Yinghua's pleasant voice sounded in his ears: "Little stinky Taoist, don't you come here to listen to the lecture when you don't read in the Holy Book Building?"

Li Qingshan stood up and glanced at Shangguan Yinghua, only to see that she was wearing a goose yellow gauze shirt today, which showed off her bright and moving. The white fox actually followed her feet, looking very well-behaved and obedient.

Li Qingshan was furious, stretched out his foot and kicked the white fox, and said hatefully: "See the beast!" and then walked away without looking back.

The white fox whined, looked up at Shangguan Yinghua, bit the corner of her skirt, and then ran after Li Qingshan.

Shangguan Jinglun, Wu Laoru, and Yu Wanqian were behind, looking at the appearance of Shangguan Yinghua and Li Qingshan, and they all showed meaningless smiles.
