Chapter 62: The Truth

A bell rang mightily, grand and vast, echoing in the Eastern Emperor City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the sage house, the surging white air is surging upright, majestic and magnificent, accompanied by Lang Lang's reading sound, such as the sound of the avenue, washing people's hearts and enlightening people's wisdom.

"Speak the way of heaven and earth, understand the reason of all things, open the light of the prosperous world, enlighten the wisdom of all people." ”

An old and clear voice suddenly came from the holy hill, which seemed to contain mysterious power, like a clear spring flowing through people's hearts, making people's souls become much clearer.

Faintly, everyone saw an old figure sitting on the holy hill, spitting out the truth, talking about the avenue of heaven and earth, educating the people, and opening up the wisdom of the common people.

"This is the two-cross grand wish made by Sage Kong, and it is the goal of his life's efforts!" An Lanxuan looked solemn at this time, solemnly looked at the vague figure on the holy hill, and opened his mouth to explain.

Speak the way of heaven and earth, understand the principle of all things, open the light of the prosperous world, enlighten the wisdom of all people.

This is the two crosses of the sage of Confucius, he has been working hard for this goal all his life, lobbying the Central Plains, spreading his own Confucian doctrine, and accepting 3,000 disciples, among which the seventy-two sages are the most famous, which has an incomparably far-reaching influence in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the end, he argued and convinced the doctrine of the hundred schools of thought here in Shengqiu, established the sanctification of the land, and completely established the status of Confucianism among the hundred schools, so that his Confucianism could be inherited for a longer time and more extensively.

It can be said that he is a real benevolent man, and his grand wish has basically been achieved, and now the Central Plains is prosperous, and all dynasties have taken Confucianism as the main idea of governing the country, and it has become the orthodoxy of the world.

The vision on the holy hill dissipated after a long time, but many people still couldn't come back to their senses, and were frightened by the methods of the saints, feeling that that the realm was really otherworldly, and it was not something that mortals could touch.

After Yan Yu bowed in the direction of Shengqiu, he turned to look at everyone, and said loudly: "The Sage House is officially opened, and new disciples are called, all those who have passed the assessment are my Confucian disciples, I hope you will remember the teachings in the door, the truth of tomorrow, and know your own responsibilities, no matter where you are in the future, for what kind of person, you can be a real benevolent!"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were shocked, this is the highlight of today, they came here thousands of miles away, isn't it just to become a Confucian disciple?

"The assessment is divided into three levels, the first level is very simple, as long as you know a thousand words, you can enter the second level. ”

"The second level is led by 100 of our disciples, and it mainly tests some simple Confucianism and doctrines. ”

"The third level is on the holy hill, after passing the second level, go up the mountain along the trail behind you, you will meet several gentlemen in the door, each gentleman has a question, as long as you answer it, you can continue to move forward, and finally enter the sage house!"

Hearing Yan Yu's announcement of the assessment method, there was an uproar in the crowd, and many people complained and dissatisfied, especially those people from foreign lands, who were originally located in remote areas and had no orthodox ideological education.

"Silence!" suddenly sounded a loud shout, like a lion roaring and a tiger's roar, suppressing the clamor of thousands of people.

Ye Qingguan was shocked in his heart, this person has such profound internal strength!

When I looked up, I found that the person who spoke was a general in silver armor, with thick eyebrows like ink, eyes like cold electricity, and a terrifying iron-blooded killing aura, but wherever the eyes swept over, the crowd became quiet.

"Everyone line up in order, if there is a disturber, kill!" The last word of killing fell, making many people feel a chill in their hearts, and they did not dare to doubt whether what he said was true or false.

The crowd instantly became extremely quiet, and thousands of people lined up quietly in a hundred columns, facing a hundred tables in the square, quietly, and did not dare to make a mistake.

Ye Qingguan and the three of them happened to be in the column where Yan Yu was.

With the sound of a gong, the assessment of the first level began, and hundreds of Confucian disciples took out a classic, which is the Confucian "Book of Changes", which is about 5,000 words, and it is well known to the world, it is indeed the easiest way to assess.

After a while, the sound of reading aloud sounded one after another, and some people took advantage of it, in order to enter the sage house, they even memorized the entire Book of Changes, but when they were pointed out to recognize individual words, they couldn't say it.

Just like many people can recite the three-character scripture, but they don't know the words, this is not a minority.

A thousand words is a small number, but it is extremely difficult for those who are in a foreign land.

The Central Plains is the core of the continent, and the hundred schools of thought also originated from here, because of cultural differences, those that spread to the outside of the territory are sporadic and bits and pieces, and it is not a simple matter to know a thousand words.

Time passed slowly, one individual was eliminated, and some people were proud to go up the mountain along the path on the holy hill to accept the challenge of the third level.

During this period, there were also many amazing characters.

For example, a ten-year-old child actually memorized the entire Book of Changes, attracting countless eyes.

There are also a few elderly people who have been assessed, trembling, and they don't know what they are doing to enter the Sage House at such an old age.

Two or three hours later, it was finally the turn of Ye Qingguan and the three of them, Jin Bodhisattva rode a big lion and walked in front, and it was easy to recognize a thousand words, and then Yan Yu asked a few simple questions, and Jin Bodhisattva also answered, it seems that she is in Lingtai Mountain, and she has not read less.

After the golden bodhisattva passed the assessment, it was An Lanxuan's turn.

Yan Yu raised his head, looked at her and smiled, "We meet again." ”

An Lanxuan nodded at him: "I didn't mean to hide my son a few days ago, please forgive my son." ”

"It doesn't matter. Yan Yu waved his hand, "Let's start here." ”

An Lanxuan nodded, picked up the Book of Changes and read it, and then Yan Yu asked a few more questions, and she answered them one by one, looking very relaxed.

"You have passed, I hope you can become a disciple of the Sage Lu. Yan Yu said with a smile.

"Students do their best. After An Lanxuan saluted Yan Yu, he turned around and walked to the side, but he didn't go up the mountain, but stood there looking at this side.

Yan Yu raised his head and looked at Ye Qingguan, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai is blessed." ”

Ye Qingguan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "We are just friends who met in Pingshui. Yan Yu nodded, showing a look of me understanding, and Ye Qingguan didn't explain anything.

These two levels, Ye Qingguan naturally passed easily, and Yan Yu finally said: "Looking forward to the next game with you." ”

Ye Qingguan smiled, turned around and walked towards the path of the Holy Hill with An Lanxuan.

When he walked to the bottom of the mountain, he was stopped by a soldier and said bluntly: "You can only go up one person at a time." ”

Ye Qingguan nodded, then motioned for An Lanxuan to go up first, and waited for a quarter of an hour before he walked towards the mountain.

After walking for a while, a gazebo appeared in the eyes, and there, a middle-aged Confucian student who was resting with his eyes closed, heard someone coming, opened his eyes and asked: "The world often says that chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, what do you think about this?"

Ye Qingguan was stunned for a moment, what did it mean to ask such a question in the Confucian ancestral temple?

After thinking for a while, he replied: "The major events in the world are no bigger than the word truth. Martial arts can strengthen the body, literature can cultivate the mind, chivalry is forbidden with martial arts, it is reasoning with fists, Confucianism is chaotic with literature, and it is reasoning with words. There is no absolute fairness in the world, so those who have the strength begin to reason with their fists, and those who have knowledge begin to reason with their thoughts, and it is precisely because of chaos that martial arts can prosper, and it is precisely because of disputes that ideas can expand. ”

Confucius looked at him: "Your remarks are interesting. Let's go up the hill!"
