As the core place of Confucianism, the "Three Temples" is also the place where the high-level Confucianists hold meetings and discussions.

Ye Chen slowly walked into the sacred place of this "Confucianism", only to see that there were statues of three old men inside, and Ye Chen quickly recognized that the three were Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi.

Dong Zhongshu explained: "This is the place where my Confucian sect deliberates, and the master of the sect will come in a while." ”

Ye Chen asked curiously, "I don't know who the head of the Confucian Sect is now?"

Du Fu said with a smile: "You'll know when you see it." I'll take you through the rest of the statues below the three statues first. Then Du Fu explained to him the "Ten Philosophies of Confucianism", which were also the ten most powerful disciples of Confucius. But there is no Zengzi among them.

Ye Chen then asked curiously, "Senior, why is there no Zeng Zi among the ten disciples?"

Dong Zhongshu opened his mouth to explain: "Although Zeng Lao is also a great power of Confucianism, when Confucius evaluated his disciples, he was still young, so he was not ranked among them. ”

Ye Chen continued to ask, "Then isn't there a statue of Zengzi's predecessor here?"

"Of course there is, believe it or not. He explained, pointing to the three small statues beneath the statue of Confucius.

Ye Chen saw that there were three small statues under the statue of Confucius, which seemed to be not as big as the statue of the Ten Philosophers, but it fully reflected the high status of these three.

Du Fu said: "But there is Yan Lao in the Ten Philosophers and the three disciples of father and son, I think you should know." ”

Ye Chen replied, "The disciple knows. ”

Du Fu continued to explain to Ye Chen the deeds of these powerful people in Confucianism, although there was basically a certain difference from what Ye Chen knew in his previous life, but he was still surprised by the strong cultivation of these people.

Suddenly, there were footsteps outside, and Dong Zhongshu said, "The master of the door is here, hurry up and see you." ”

Ye Chen saw that the first person who walked in was a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a black Confucian uniform and a hat. At the same time, he was followed by five old men in white Confucian clothes. Ye Chen was shocked: "Why is the clothes worn by this sect master different from those of Dong Lao?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Are you Ye Chen?" ”

Dong Zhongshu said: "Ye Chen, don't hurry up and meet the door master. ”

Ye Chen immediately bowed down and said, "Ye Chen, I've seen the master." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yes, it's very interesting." Then he smiled and said to the person next to him, "Dunyi, Shao Yong, what do you think?"

Ye Chen was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that the five old men standing next to the middle-aged man are the "Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty" in the previous life?

Just when Ye Chen was still puzzled, he saw an old man next to him stroking his beard and said, "Door master, this child is indeed a good seedling." The other three nodded in agreement.

Everyone was only discussing Ye Chen somewhere, and they forgot about Yan Lingyun at all. This naturally aroused Fu Sheng's dissatisfaction, and he said loudly: "Lao Zhu, what are you going to do with the child I brought." ”

After Ye Chen heard this, he finally knew that his idea was right. The person in front of him is the "Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty", and Zhu Xi is the current master.

At this time, a younger old man next to Zhu Xi said: "According to my opinion, it is better to play a hexagram for him to see whether to leave or stay." ”

Fu Sheng said angrily: "Shao Yong, what the hell are you doing? How can you take such a cute child and decide to stay according to the hexagram." ”

When Ye Chen heard this, he realized that the person just now was Shao Yong. Although Shao Yong is a Confucian, his learning is extremely mixed. Especially for the Taoist gossip technique, I have a lot of experience.

Zhu Xi said: "Fu Lao, don't get angry so quickly. Shao Yong just proposed. ”

Fu Sheng saw Zhu Xi say this, so he said: "Then you, as the master of a sect, talk about how to deal with such a poor Yun'er." ”

Zhu Xi said: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." ”

Ye Chen didn't expect Zhu Xi, as the master of the door, to be so polite to Fu Sheng. However, if he thinks of the Confucian rule of "respecting the old and loving the young", he can naturally understand the reason.

Zhu Xi looked at Yan Lingyun and used his divine sense to observe him carefully. Then he smiled and said, "Yes, it is indeed a manufacturable material." ”

Shao Yong suddenly didn't know what to say in Zhu Xi's ear, and then Zhu Xi said, "I have seen it." But I'm a Confucian, so can't I help a teenager?"

Fu Sheng saw Zhu Xi say this, so he said with a smile: "The door master's words are reasonable. Then he said to Yan Lingyun: "Yun'er, don't kneel down and thank the door master." ”

Yan Lingyun immediately knelt down and expressed his gratitude.

After Zhu Xi finished watching Yan Lingyun, he finally set his eyes on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen knew that Zhu Xi wanted to check his mental method, but fortunately, there was a "Phoenix Spirit", and Zhu Xi only found out the "Analects of the Heart" and the "Tao Te Ching". As for the most important "Heaven and Earth Conjunction Method", he couldn't let anyone perceive it.

Although only these were found out, it was enough to make this Confucian master happy. He was pleasantly surprised and said to the fourth son next to him: "Have you seen it? This kid is really a genius!"

The two people next to Zhou Dunyi were Ercheng, and they said together: "This son is indeed extremely powerful, and he can understand all three of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism at a young age." ”

Zhang Zai, who had not spoken at this time, suddenly spoke: "But I'm afraid it's hard to find a teacher here!"

Dong Zhongshu said: "As the first sect in the Jianghu Continent, is it difficult that I can't find a famous teacher to guide him?"

Du Fu said: "Everyone, in my humble opinion, the three saints are the best teachers. ”

Zhu Xi said: "But the Three Sages have already left the mainland 10,000 years ago, and I don't know where they went. This method is not advisable. ”

Ye Chen was shocked: "Didn't you expect it to be so difficult to even match me with a teacher?" and then he thought: "It would be good if I had a beautiful teacher, I would definitely learn well." ”

When Ye Chen fantasized, Zhu Xi said: "I suggest that Yun'er leave it to Fu Lao to teach." ”

Fu Sheng said, "Okay! I will show you how good my apprentice is." ”

Dong Zhongshu asked, "Then what should Ye Chen do?"

Shao Yong said: "It's better to let it be decided by heaven's will." ”

Du Fu said: "Does it mean that you rely on innate gossip to choose teachers?"

Shao Yong said: "The principle is almost the same, but in fact there is a big difference. ”

Dong Zhongshu asked, "Ye Chen, do you agree?"

Ye Chen replied respectfully: "Students, it is up to the teachers to decide. ”

Zhu Xi said: "Okay! In that case, I will call all the teachers to a meeting later, and prepare to hold a teacher selection conference for Ye Chen." ”

Ye Chen asked curiously, "What kind of conference is this?" But he vaguely felt that this matter was unusual.

Zhu Xi said: "Fu Lao, then you can take Yun'er down first." ”

Fu Sheng said: "Yes!" So he and Yan Lingyun left first.

Zhu Xi then said to Dong Zhongshu: "Old Dong, you are also tired. Go down and rest. ”

Dong Zhongshu said: "Don't worry, I will also participate." I want to see who this precious apprentice is. ”

Ye Chen listened to everyone's discussions in a daze, but he didn't know that the next conference would have a serious impact on his future.
