Chapter 48: The Six Arts of a Gentleman, the Six Ways of a Literati
"He actually sat down?"
Some of the onlookers exclaimed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although they couldn't see the illusion that Chen Jinnian was facing, they were all people who had passed this test and knew what the test of the second level would be. At the same time, they also saw Chen Jinnian's golden knife sitting down.
Chen Jinnian finally sat down.
Although he felt that it was not interesting to sit on the illusory throne, it was impossible to really control the power of the world. But he felt the need to challenge the designers of this test, what kind of mentality it was.
"Why did he sit down?"
"Doesn't he know that without sitting on that throne, he can still step up the stairs and pass the test on the second floor?"
The throne, at the last step of the staircase leading to the third floor, was just above that step. It is completely possible to bypass the throne and go directly to the third layer. However, Chen Jinnian doesn't seem to know about the joints.
"Say, among us, or all of us who have passed the second test. I mean all the people who have climbed this step, ancient and modern, in the choice of facing the throne and passing the second test, has anyone ever sat on that throne?" asked solemnly, touching his chin.
This question made all the sons of the world shut up.
All those who passed the test, from ancient times to the present, are young literati. Being able to pass the test of the second layer can already be called a genius. Passing the test of Xianwen Pavilion is genius, and this standard is the same in ancient and modern times.
Genius, all have some wisdom. Knowing that the throne is the greatest test, knowing that you don't have to pass this test to go up to the third level. Then, of course, they are able to make sound and rational judgments. That is, you don't have to sit on this throne.
No one has ever been so unwise as Chen Jinnian when he stepped on the last biggest test of the third layer, and he actually sat down directly.
"I haven't sat on it. Why didn't I sit down in the first place?" Chen Yunyan seemed to regret.
So a throne, even if it is illusory, even if it is a test, why didn't you try to sit down in the first place?
Not only did Chen Yunyan have some remorse, but most of the sons who passed the second layer of the test, somehow the enemy, all had inexplicable remorse.
"Perhaps, we all lost something. Finally, the son of the world sighed.
"A grass?"
Chen Jinnian never imagined that after sitting down, this throne, which was full of the aura of authority in the world, would actually see a grass.
"Concentrate on watching!" Shi Ye seemed to know something, and solemnly reminded Chen Jinnian to pay attention.
Chen Jinnian sat on the throne, and in his field of vision, it was a dark and depleted land. Beneath a bare stone mountain, a seed broke through the ground and a grass grew.
The grass broke through the soil, and in this depleted and dark environment, there was no sunlight, no rain and dew. But the grass is growing.
In the blink of an eye, the grass grew to the height of a giant tree.
Then, like a sword, the branches and leaves of the grass cut through the dark and depleted environment!
Then, the grass grew in the starfield.
Then the grass tore open the stars!
A grass that tears open the stars!
Chen Jinnian felt extremely shocked!
Then, the screen disappears. Chen Jinnian stood on the third floor. But Chen Jinnian didn't come back to his senses, all he thought about was the picture of the grass tearing apart the stars.
Faintly, Chen Jinnian felt that he had realized, but he couldn't grasp what he understood.
"This world is awe-inspiring and fascinating!" sighed, Chen Jinnian exhaled and came back to his senses completely.
"I'm not alone. A prince saw Chen Jinnian pass the test on the second floor, stood on the third floor, and sighed.
"Then we'll just wait for him on the ninth floor. ”
"That's fine. ”
The sons of the world have their own manners, and they spoke.
Immediately, they stepped up another staircase, and the figure disappeared in place. They have all passed the ninth layer test of Xianwen Pavilion, and when they come again, there will be another way. There will be no more tests.
"Eh, it seems that you know what the name of that grass is?" Chen Jinnian asked Shi Ye.
"A grass, cut the vicissitudes of the sun and the moon! This, it may be that grass!" Shi Ye spoke, his tone full of solemnity.
"Can a grass cut the sun and the moon and the vicissitudes of life?" Chen Jinnian felt shocked. "What's the name of that grass?"
"Don't say. Shi Ye replied.
"Can't you say?" Chen Jinnian asked.
"I can't say it, I don't dare to say it. Shi Ye said.
Chen Jinnian's expression was solemn, you must know that the communication between him and Shi Ye is an exchange between hearts. There is no need to say it at all. However, even in this case, Shi Ye still didn't dare to say the name of the grass!
Could it be that there is an existence that even existence is taboo, and even the name cannot be mentioned, and dare not be mentioned?
Chen Jinnian had a faint understanding, but unfortunately his realm was too low to fully understand.
"The third level of testing, etiquette. At this time, Shi Ye read the contents of the stone tablet.
This time, the rules on the stele are even simpler. It is only written that the third level of testing is the rites. This stele doesn't even have a name, and it doesn't have the shortest ranking to pass the test.
"Six arts for gentlemen, six ways for literati. The next test should be these six kinds, right?" Shi Ye said.
The six arts of the gentleman refer to etiquette, music, calligraphy, mathematics, royalty, and archery, which are also known as the six avenues of the literati. These six avenues, the road leading to the immortal road, are also the means commonly used by the literati to cultivate immortals.
Or rather, a compulsory means.
Etiquette, etiquette, courtesy. The ritual is the most mysterious, and there is no way to fight, but almost everyone practices the ritual. Etiquette is the most fundamental difference between human beings and not animals. This is the so-called "no rudeness, how is it different from a beast?"
For ordinary people, etiquette is loyalty, filial piety, loyalty, righteousness, and benevolence.
Be loyal to the Terran dynasty and the Terran race, and be filial to your parents and elders;
To brothers, to younger generations, to do righteousness, to friends, to righteousness;
To strangers, benevolence.
For the literati who ask the Tao and cultivate immortals, these are also rules of conduct. But for the literati, the greatest help is that etiquette can bring luck. Respectful manners and sacrifices can bring luck to the literati or the power where the literati belong.
Although luck is an ethereal thing, the literati firmly believe that luck exists. It has a direct and far-reaching impact on individuals or forces.
Therefore, the human race has all kinds of rituals and all kinds of ceremonies.
"Kaoli?" Chen Jinnian whispered as he looked at the staircase leading to the fourth floor.
"Guy who doesn't respect heaven and earth, are you afraid?" Shi Ye smiled.
Judging from the Taoist questioning ceremony, Chen Jinnian's answer to the third question of the avenue is indeed a little disrespectful.
"I want the sky not to cover my eyes......"
"If I want to have it, heaven will not leave it without ......"
With these words, it is difficult to see the slightest respect for heaven.
And if you are disrespectful to the heavens, it is difficult to pass the test of etiquette.
