Age of mythical princes

Chapter 33 The World of Great Harmony
"This jade slip is sealed with all my understanding of the method of water escape. You only need to stick it on the center of your eyebrows, and then let yourself go, and you will automatically receive the information in it. Because it is specially made by me, so It can be learned repeatedly.”

This is actually very convenient, but Jiang Hua still asked: "Is there a method that can make others understand in an instant?"

Taoist Changkong nodded seriously: "Yes, but it is not convenient for you to use. In your sea of ​​consciousness, there is more than one treasure. Some of these treasures are to protect the soul from pollution. Some are to protect the spirit. Make it tenacious. At this time, if you use a similar method on you, it will be automatically blocked by the treasure."

"Real practice is actually all about cultivating the mind. Whether it's blood vessels or Qi training, in the end it's all about training the mind. It's just that there are different ways of training the mind. Some are cultivating the body, regulating the family, governing the country and the world, and some are meditating on the mind. Sitting and forgetting the fetal breath, some are making a great wish, and then unite knowledge and action, work hard towards the great wish, and infect others in the process, and some are the ultimate self-control..."

"Those bloodline monks sharpen their bodies in various ways, and finally tame the desire deep in the bloodline, which is also a way of refining the heart. So the heart is very important. From the moment you were born, treasures have entered your heart Protecting you from the depths."

"And the method I learned was created by Confucius. The method of Confucius is to understand the consciousness of all things, and finally everything understands each other and achieves the legendary harmony, which is the so-called world of great harmony."

Hearing this, Jiang Hua scratched his head directly, and suddenly couldn't understand.What is the relationship between the consciousness of all things and the world of great harmony?
Seeing Jiang Hua's confused appearance, Taoist Changkong couldn't help but shook his head: "In the past, your aptitude and perseverance were far inferior to the present, so at that time you devoted yourself to the path of cultivation and worked hard, no problem. But now you have You are the prefect of Yancheng, the lord of millions of people, you must know a lot. I don’t ask you to know all the details, but a preliminary understanding is necessary.”

After a reminder, Taoist Changkong continued: "Everyone is conscious and has ideas. Different people have different ideas. The same person has different ideas at different times. Don't let human beings understand each other, even if one person understands himself , most of the time it can’t be done.”

"You in the past may not be able to understand you in the present. You in the future may not be able to understand you in the present. Therefore, the world of great harmony where everyone understands each other will hardly come. Until Confucius created Confucianism and created a special The method of refining the mind makes it possible for everyone to understand each other."

"As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others. If everyone can truly understand each other, even if they can't reach the legendary world of great harmony, they will not be far away."

"However, how can people understand each other? Can savages, common people, and countrymen understand each other? Can big nobles and small nobles understand each other? Taoists and nobles, can they understand each other?" As he said that, Jiang Hua shook his head again and again, this is simply impossible.

"So, in Confucius' vision, human beings are only divided into gentlemen who can understand others, ordinary people who can't understand others, and the most special villains. There is no distinction between nobles, countrymen, and Qi practitioners. There are only gentlemen and ordinary people. , villain three identities."

"Using the special method taught by Kong Sheng, you can train your mind. After training your mind, you can initially perceive other people's thoughts, and you can also directly transmit your own thoughts to the depths of other people's hearts, so that two people can truly achieve each other. Understand, empathize."

"But it's too difficult, and there are too few things that can be done. So slowly, there is the so-called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. First, use these beautiful dreams that everyone believes to unite the commonality, and first let strangers share benevolence, righteousness and propriety. Reach a consensus in terms of intelligence and letter, and then go to understand each other.”

"The so-called benevolence is essentially communication and understanding. The method of refining the mind passed down by Confucius is essentially the communication and exchange between people and people, people and monsters, people and things, and even people and everything."

"Although I am studying Taoism in the Taoist Palace of the Eastern Sea, there are also records of Confucius' mind-training method, and there are not a few people who study and study it. And I happen to have achieved a little bit, so you can get my understanding of cultivation, there is no problem , let alone a small method of water escape."

Hearing this, Jiang Hua was greatly shocked!
This Confucian sage took the path of mutual understanding and mutual recognition, finally eliminating barriers and achieving a world of great harmony.Whether this idea can be realized, Jiang Hua declined to comment.But to be able to have this kind of idea and actually propose a way to realize it, this must be an extremely great existence.

"Can Confucius himself understand everything?" Jiang Hua asked suddenly.

"I don't know, but when Confucius traveled around the world, he persuaded many people and left many allusions. For example, Zhong You was a reckless man at the beginning, and his blood was about to get out of control and turn into a fierce beast." After meeting Kong Sheng, he was directly persuaded. Now, he is also a big shot."

"There is also the unicorn under the seat of Confucius. It is said that it was originally a real beast. Later, during the rebellion, I met Confucius. I have been listening to the sermons under the seat of Confucius for many years, and the cruel desire in the body has gradually disappeared. It is already a real beast of heaven and earth."

Looking at Taoist Changkong with an admiring expression, Jiang Hua's thoughts were completely different from hers.

Cough
After coughing, Jiang Hua slowly asked: "Can you use this method to refine some magic weapons with special functions?"

"Confucius chose benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, so can we refine a treasure that is specially used to inspire people's hearts, a treasure that makes people forget their fear? a treasure that makes people full of courage?"

"To be more specific, can we refine a set of war drums, the moment the soldiers hear the sound of the drums, they will be full of courage, even if they are seriously injured, they will not take the initiative to run away. During normal training, can we refine Let the soldiers train carefully and not be lazy?"

"If it is used in governance, can we refine a mirror that makes people tell the truth? If you tell the truth, the mirror will emit white light, and if you tell lies, the mirror will emit black light. Just hang this mirror on the Above the city gate, you can see this mirror when you go in and out every day, so the security in the city will definitely be greatly improved."

"I don't expect to be able to evolve immediately to the point where everyone is a gentleman and everyone can understand each other, but to legalize the way and implement it, and use it in daily life, in military training, and in war. Now, is it okay to use it in the academy to improve students' learning efficiency? Uncle Shi, can it be done? What are the difficulties?"

Just now, Jiang Hua was full of shock. At this moment, Taoist Changkong was not shocked, but he thought about it for a long time: "Whether you are lying or not is very idealistic, and things related to the soul are very idealistic. Even if it is refined, there may be mistakes. , For example: a person has lied, but he thinks he is not lying, and finally the mirror collects his thoughts and judges that he is not lying.”

"It's better than nothing. After all, this kind of bad species is a minority. What about the others?"

"For the army, what is needed is courage. To make soldiers have the commonality of courage, we must first convince them that at the beginning, we can only achieve success through faith..."

Although everything he said was difficult, Taoist Changkong's expression slowly became excited.She thinks it's a new world...
