Chapter 21 Confucianism is divided into seven realms
Shangguan Jinglun led everyone back to the temple and worshiped the portraits of the ancient sages and saints. Although Li Qingshan is not from Peach Blossom Academy, nor is he in the Confucian lineage, after all, Shangguan Jinglun is also an old gentleman he worshipped, so he worships the saint statues one by one.
After the ceremony, Shangguan Jinglun led everyone to the Holy Book Building. The Holy Book Building is indeed the place where the academy collects books, and a warning sign is erected at the gate, on which is written the famous sentence of the Analects: "When you learn it, you will be happy". There are seven pavilions in the building, namely the Six Arts Pavilion, the Zhuzi Pavilion, the Poetry Pavilion, the Bingshu Pavilion, the Shushu Pavilion, the Fangji Pavilion, the Martial Arts Pavilion, and each Pavilion has a special deacon.
Among them, the Six Arts Pavilion specializes in the collection of Analects, the Book of Filial Piety, the Primary School, the Spring and Autumn Period, etc., and the door instructs "the language of the sages, the discussion of Confucianism", and is a white-haired old Confucian deacon; Li Qingshan saw that this person's eyes were shining, his temples were bulging, and he was in charge of the Martial Arts Pavilion, and he thought that this person should not be weak in martial arts.
Wherever Shangguan Jinglun passed, the deacons of each cabinet saluted respectfully and called him "palace master".
Shangguan Jinglun pointed to the pavilions and said to Li Qingshan and Shen Mingyue: "I have come here to give a lecture, and what I am talking about is nothing more than a subset of scriptures and history, so you don't want to listen to it with the students of this academy. In the future, Qingshan Six Arts Pavilion will learn more, and Mingyue will read more in the Wushu Pavilion. ”
Li Qingshan and Shen Mingyue nodded. Shangguan Yinghua said mischievously: "Daddy, then I'm in that pavilion?"
Shangguan Jinglun smiled gently: "You, you will listen to my lectures with the students of this college." The father is strict in his education, and he is not allowed to be arrogant as a child. ”
Shangguan Yinghua stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak again. Shangguan Jinglun knocked her head with a feather fan, and said dotingly: "You Langhuan Academy, you have to take care of it, but now you are running out to play, what should I say about you?"
Shangguan Yinghua was disgusted: "Isn't my academy also good, you will know when you get there in two months." There's Uncle Baili watching there. ”
Shangguan Jinglun said: "It's just Baili Haoran to help you watch, otherwise just like you, where can you manage a academy, and you can manage Qinglin County and Meizi County." ”
Li Qingshan and Shen Mingyue were shocked in their hearts, thinking that Shangguan Yinghua was so young that he turned out to be the master of a academy and was also in charge of the land of the two counties. Look at yourself again, but you don't know anything at the same age, and you have just traveled down the mountain for less than a month.
Shangguan Jinglun knocked Shangguan Yinghua with a feather fan again, pointed to the jade pendant hanging on her waist, and said, "You took away Qingshan's ice dragon jade pendant, it's really nonsense." Speaking of this jade pendant, it is really something from our Shangguan family. That's your uncle's jade pendant from Shangguan Chafeng. I received a letter from the Martial Saint before, saying that he dragged the news back, and also used the Ice Dragon Jade Pendant as a certificate. I didn't expect the ice dragon jade pendant to be in Qingshan's hands, and now it has been stolen by you again. ”
Shangguan Yinghua shook his arm and said coquettishly: "Daddy, since it's my uncle's jade pendant, give it to me." ”
Shangguan Jinglun said helplessly: "Okay, you can take the ice dragon jade pendant." In Qingshan's hand, there should also be a cloud dragon jade pendant. Am I right or not?"
Li Qingshan nodded, and took out a warm jade pendant from his arms, which was engraved with a dragon soaring through the clouds, and it was indeed a cloud dragon jade pendant.
Shangguan Yinghua's pretty eyes lit up, and said: "Stinky little Taoist, it turns out that you still have such a jade pendant, I knew that I would come here again!"
Li Qingshan's face was full of black lines, and he was speechless for a while.
Shangguan Jinglun knocked Shangguan Yinghua heavily with a feather fan, and said: "It's a shame that you have read sage books with me since you were a child, and you are still the master of the academy, and you are still proud of the fact that chickens and dogs are thieves. ”
Then he pointed to Li Qingshan and said: "When you go down the mountain this time, I guess the old Taoist priest will hand over the Yunlong jade pendant to you, and it is ready for emergency." I also have a jade pendant here, called Wenlong Jade Pendant. I'll give this jade pendant to the talent. If you don't have any extra jade pendants for Mingyue, I'll give you a Chongwen Golden Order. ”
With that, pull out two things. One is a jade pendant, which is engraved with a dragon wrapped around a Chinese watch. One is a golden token with a line of small characters engraved on it: "Chongwen Jin Ling, Command Dongzhou".
Shangguan Yingcai took the Wenlong jade pendant, and his joy was beyond words. And Shen Mingyue twisted and pinched, not knowing whether to take the Chongwen Golden Order.
Shangguan Yinghua was speechless: "Daddy is really generous, Chongwen Jin Ling has been sent." With this golden order, we can dispatch our five major academies at will, and we can also enter and exit Chongwen Palace at will. ”
When Shen Mingyue heard this, she didn't dare to answer it even more. Shangguan Yingcai smiled: "This is a generous gift from my father, you can take it." ”
Shangguan Jinglun also nodded kindly. Shen Mingyue had no choice but to blush and accept the pet Wen Jin Order.
Shangguan Jinglun said: "Every time I go to an academy, I will come to watch the civil and military assessment. This time is no exception, Yingcai and Yinghua will go with me. Qingshan and Mingyue, you are studying in the Holy Book Building. ”
After that, he led the two Shangguan Yingcai brothers and sisters out of the Holy Book Building.
As soon as they walked away, Li Qingshan plunged into the Six Arts Pavilion, and Shen Mingyue walked into the Martial Arts Pavilion.
The white-haired old Confucian of the Six Arts Pavilion was very kind, and when he saw that the little Taoist priest chose the Six Arts Pavilion instead of the Martial Arts Pavilion, he had a good impression of the little Taoist priest. After the little Taoist priest walked in, he said: "The little Taoist is from Xianlai Mountain? Every time our ten masters gather to debate and talk about the world, our Shangguan Palace Master often says to our ten masters that there is a child in Xianlai Mountain who has stepped on the seven stars and is currently cultivating with the Taoist saint Zhang Yunshe. In the future, when he goes out of the rivers and lakes, he must be the one who will turn his hands on the general trend of the world in the future, and we should look at it well. ”
Li Qingshan scratched his head and said, "Xiaodao is Li Qingshan." It's just that I never knew that Mr. Shangguan thought so highly of me. Shame shame. ”
Lao Ru said: "You have never come down from Xianlai Mountain. As far as I know, it's very rudimentary and doesn't have a lot of books. Therefore, I expect that you are Confucianism and Taoism, and what you have learned has not yet been systematized. If you study systematically from now on, you can choose the Tao or Confucianism, or the dual cultivation of Taoism and Confucianism, you can choose for yourself. ”
Li Qingshan was secretly surprised and asked: "What is the choice of the Tao, what is the choice of Confucianism, and what is the choice of Confucianism?"
Seeing that Li Qingshan's interest was finally aroused, the old Confucian smiled strangely and said: "If it is for the Tao, learning Taoist martial arts is to learn martial arts with the Yunxu faction, and Taoist martial arts are divided into seven realms: inner vision, knowing Xuan, guarding form, merging gods, entering the void, returning to the void, and being clear. If you follow Confucianism, you will follow me all the way to Chongwen Palace, read the classics of the six arts in the world, absorb the spirit of the world, and learn the internal skills of Confucianism. Very few people in the world know how to divide the lineage of Confucianism and martial arts, and generally divide it into nine orders with the world's martial arts. In fact, Confucianism and martial arts also have seven realms. ”
Li Qingshan said curiously: "What are the Seven Realms of Confucian Internal Strength?"
The white-haired old Confucian said: "The text takes the practice of the spirit and the qi as the first half of the matter, and the practice of words and sentences as the second half of the matter. Scholars should focus on practicing the spirit and qi, and in martial arts, 'cultivating the mind is the first, practicing the qi is secondary, and practicing the form is secondary'. Therefore, Confucian martial arts are divided into general knowledge, contemplation, internal illumination, nourishment, vitality, transformation of gods, and transcendence. Looking at today, although the literature and Taoism are declining and the Confucianism is weak, there is also an extraordinary person who has become a saint, that is, the master of Shangguan Palace. The rest of the ten masters, some of them are still in the state of qi, and some of them can only reach the early stage of becoming gods. ”
Li Qingshan was shocked: "Isn't Your Excellency an old gentleman in the Transformation Period? If compared with Taoism, which realm of Confucianism is the Transformation of God equivalent to Taoism?"
The old Confucian stroked his beard and said: "The transformation period can be about to return to the virtual realm. ”
Li Qingshan was shocked and said, "Doesn't that mean that Mr. Shangguan is already a Confucian transcendent, and even my master Dao Sheng is not his opponent!"
The old man waved his hand and said, "That's not what I said. Your martial arts at home, since the Taixu Taixuan Gong was completed, the virtual realm has been extremely powerful, and there are very few people in the world who can match it. Your master Dao Sage is already in the Void Realm, and breaking through the Enlightenment Realm is just around the corner! The three saints in the world have never been strong or weak in martial arts!"
