Chapter 239 Chapter 238. Little Sage Village

Xiaoshengxianzhuang is located on the coast of Qi State. It not only has a wonderful scene, but also has the name of a holy place for Confucianism.After Wuming and others received Ji Ruyu, the three began to discuss academic matters.

Wu Ming has a calm personality and does not fight for anything, and he does not study academics or Confucianism. He is good at swordsmanship and is a protector of Confucianism.

As the eldest brother, Le Zhengzi is the head of Confucianism.His elegant and benevolent character is a model inheritance for Confucian disciples, and he is especially good at the practice of the six Confucian arts.

What's more important is that Le Zhengzi is still the emperor's master.The current king of Qi State was taught by his disciples, and he was the great sacrificial wine of Jixia Academy of Qi State.

Xun Kuang is the most balanced among the three. He is good at both martial arts and fighting, as well as writing books, and he is also a Confucian supervisor.All disciples of Confucian origin must be supervised and supervised by Xun Kuang.

As the head of Confucianism after Confucius, Mencius was the leader of the Ten Philosophers and the 72 Sages, and he taught and assigned duties to his disciples very appropriately.

Now that Mencius has passed away many years ago, the three senior brothers are also acting as teachers and apprentices, and teach Ji Ruyu Confucian doctrines and ideas.What Wuming was talking about was his swordsmanship. As a protector of Confucianism, he inherited the most powerful and comprehensive Kong Zhou San sword.

Le Zhengzi talked about the six Confucian arts, including etiquette, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy and numeracy.As the inheritor and master of the Six Arts, what Le Zhengzi said and learned is already the pinnacle of Confucianism. It can be said that no one in Confucianism today can surpass Le Zhengzi.

Confucianism is the most rigorous and open doctrine. Since Mencius is a sage of hundreds of schools of thought, he never has strict requirements for his disciples, as long as the disciples can find their own path in Confucianism.

Just like the existence of Xun Kuang, although he himself was an orthodox student of Confucianism.But what he promoted was the theory of the rule of law, and now he is the leader of the legalists who are imprisoned. He is the most established representative of the "confucianism and legalism".

The three senior brothers have traveled around the world with Mencius since childhood, and their relationship is naturally extraordinary.Even though Le Zhengzi, as the leader, was dissatisfied with Xun Kuang's identity as both a Confucian and a Legalist, the relationship between them was still honest and Confucian.

Xuanhuan likes this kind of Confucianism very much!
Ji Ruyu eagerly absorbed the advantages of the three senior brothers and developed the extraordinary will of fusion through three lives and three lives.In just ten days' journey to Little Saint's Manor, he had already absorbed [-]% of the merits and academic will of the three senior brothers with his huge photographic memory.

Even his body, which had never practiced martial arts and was as weak as a rootless duckweed, began to practice Confucian martial arts under the guidance of Wuming and Xun Kuang.

Looking at the majestic Xiaoshengxian Village in front of her, and the incomparably magnificent view of the small bridge and flowing water, Ji Ruyu couldn't help but express her feelings: "The sea is flowing, the world is impermanent, and I finally returned here!"

The nameless three looked at each other and smiled, but others might not be able to tell.But the three of them, "old monsters" who have experienced ups and downs in life, how can they not see the complicated thoughts and thoughts in Ji Ruyu's heart?

The so-called aptitude for everything is to see something with your eyes and think something with your mind. It just so happens that Ji Ruyu is such a person with amazing talents and stunning aptitudes.

Otherwise, Mencius would not have left his last words. Confucianism must protect Ji Ruyu from going on the right path and prevent him from going into crooked ways and causing harm to the world.

After arranging for the disciples to take Ji Ruyu to freshen up and rest, the Wuming three began to prepare for the ceremony to accept the disciples as their masters.

As a Confucian who values ​​etiquette the most among all the scholars, the date of apprenticeship must be strictly chosen.Because this is accepting disciples on behalf of teachers, they are students of Yasheng Mencius, and many people from Confucianism have come.

Not only the Gongyang School, but also the Mao family and the Fu family who were in charge of the Book of Songs also came.Everyone gathered in the Little Sage Manor, and they also wanted to see the student that Naya Sage had been thinking about deeply.

At the moment when the sun rises in the east, facing the brilliance of life on the coast.Ji Ruyu, dressed in a white Confucian scholar's robe, walked into the main hall of Xiaoshengxian Manor with outstanding grace.The proud and confident posture and the gentle and jade-like aura made the eyes of the Confucian disciples present shine even more.

He is only ten years old, but he has such outstanding grace.With that tall and erect posture, he will definitely be a person who stirs up the world in the future.

Even the six-fingered black man, the head of the Mohist family who had good relations with the Confucian family, and Bei Mingzi, the head of the Taoist Tianzong who came with him, also had a high opinion of Ji Ruyu in their hearts.

Zhong Ling is a talented person with a majestic appearance.

Seeing the people attending the hall, Ji Ruyu first bowed her hands and said, "Ji Ruyu has met all the Confucian gentlemen!"

When everyone signaled to excuse themselves, Ji Ruyu came to Bei Mingzi and Six-fingered Heixia again and saluted: "I have seen Senior Beiming, and I have met Senior Heixia!"

Mencius is a Confucian sage, and is recognized by hundreds of schools of thought as the "lesser sage".However, although his thoughts and achievements are high, his seniority is pitifully low, ranking in the middle or lower level among hundreds of scholars.

Since you are attending a grand ceremony, you will naturally prepare gifts. Besides, Mohism and Taoism have always been on good terms with Confucianism.What Bei Mingzi sent was the original copy of Taoist Xiaoyaoyou to complete the collection in the library of Xiaoshengxian Manor.

But what the Six-fingered Black Man gave him was a famous sword. As the Mo family, who is the best at making weapons among all the scholars, he gave him such a famous weapon as the "Lingxu Sword". It can be said that it was a great courtesy and even more affectionate!
"present--"

Following the shouts of the Confucian disciples, some Confucian disciples danced and saluted, and in the main hall of Xiaoshengxian Manor, three rows of sacrificial portraits were already placed.The one at the top is Confucius, the second row is Shizhe and 72 Xian, and the last row is the Yasheng Mencius.

"Bye!"

"Goodbye!"

"Three obeisances to the saints!"

...

...

After the apprenticeship ceremony was over, Le Zhengzi returned to Jixia Academy.Wu Ming continued to travel around the world, while Xun Kuang stayed to take charge of the overall situation.After all, Little Sage Village cannot live without people, and besides, he also has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of teaching Ji Ruyu.

It was naturally impossible for Ji Ruyu to take the same course as the students. That was not only an insult to him, but also an insult to Little Saint Xianzhuang.Therefore, the best way is to study by yourself. After Xun Kuang arranged for him to guard the library, he was allowed to read and study the classics of hundreds of schools of thought in the world.

During the Warring States Period, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period alone had seven different writing styles.There are at least fifty or sixty languages ​​and scripts that have disappeared.The Confucian library has the reputation of being the tallest building in the north. It contains not only Confucian classics, but also works by various schools of thought. Many of the collections are not even owned by the schools themselves.

The Confucian library is open to the public. Not only Confucian students can enter, but also people from many schools of thought. The rules set by Mencius are inclusive of all rivers.

Looking at the dazzling array of books, Ji Ruyu smiled with joy.This kind of library is really the best place for him who can endure loneliness.Moreover, Ji Ruyu, who already likes writing slips, also has annotations for different writings in various countries.

This year, many people have seen that there is a strange person in Little Sage's Village, holding books in his hands all the time.Even when eating, he never leaves the book, and the appearance of "going crazy" seems to make people feel complicated.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang is a holy land of Confucianism, and the Confucian scholars who can enter here are geniuses.Although they cherish the opportunity to learn, they will never forget to eat and sleep like Ji Ruyu.

After countless people asked, the Confucian students knew that it was their junior uncle, the fourth gentleman of Xiaoshengxian Village.

Putting aside the complicated thoughts of Confucian disciples about Ji Ruyu, after Ling Ling read the book for a year, Ji Ruyu, who had benefited a lot, was still found by three senior brothers.Ji Ruyu, who had been thinking about her master before his death and who now has high hopes for her, naturally wanted to follow the Confucian path of being both civilized and military.

Now his academics are basically complete, what is missing is only his own understanding, and the path he will choose to develop in the future.Martial arts are naturally also on the agenda. Confucianism has the swordsmanship of Kong Zhouzhou's sword, and the indifferent way of doing things while sitting and forgetting the mind.What's more, there is the "Analects of Confucius" left by Confucius, which is the supernatural power of Confucianism.

Hearing this, Le Zhengzi said with some disbelief: "Have you really thought about it? The Analects of Confucius is extremely difficult to practice. Since the death of the founder, no one in Confucianism has been able to succeed in practice, even our Master Yasheng is just There will be some broken sentences."

Not only Yue Zhengzi, but also Wuming and Xun Kuang sitting below him.After hearing that Ji Ruyu chose to practice the Analects of Confucius, she also frowned deeply.

Le Zhengzi thought for a while, and finally waved his hand and said: "How about we start with Haoran Qi first? If junior brother still feels that he wants to practice the Analects of Confucius ten years later, we will be talking at that time."

The Wuming trio really don't want to see the amazingly talented Ji Ruyu waste her wonderful time.If she starts practicing from Haoran Qi, Ji Ruyu doesn't have to worry too much. After all, the Analects of Confucius is the general outline and essence of Confucianism.

Ji Ruyu thought for a while and nodded in agreement, knowing that the senior brothers were doing it for his own good.After finding the technique of Haoran Qi in the library, he entered the bamboo forest of Xiaoshengxian Village to practice in seclusion.

The so-called Haoran Qi is the Confucian breathing technique.

There is poetry and calligraphy in my belly, and I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit.

The classics of Haoran Qi are the closest to the Analects of Confucius, and they are also the most partial cultivation method of Confucianism. Very few disciples choose to practice it.It’s not that this skill is not good, it’s that this skill requires too much talent. Even if you don’t have extreme talent, it’s difficult to get started.

It’s not like Confucianism only has Haoran Qi. In comparison, naturally no one chooses to practice.The practice concept of Haoran Qi actually existed before the Warring States Period, but it was only carried forward by later generations!

Le Zhengzi obviously had extraordinary eyesight, and he could tell at a glance that Ji Ruyu was very suitable for Haoran Qi.It only took him three hours to cultivate Haoran Qi, a technique that others struggled to learn.

Magnificent and bright, pure and magnificent, the light bloomed around Ji Ruyu's body like a scorching sun.

Today, hundreds of schools and arenas in the world divide martial arts combat power into third-rate, second-rate and first-rate.On the mountain are the Taoists, masters and heavenly beings.Ji Ruyu, who has now cultivated awe-inspiring Qi, has already entered the level of second-rate combat power.

Even after cultivating Haoran Qi, he did not rush out of seclusion. Instead, he read Patriarch Confucius' "University" classics again, and this was the Kung Fu book that recorded Haoran Qi.You must know that many of the martial arts of various schools of thought are actually integrated into academics, but in some places the key training part is missing.

Every time Ji Ruyu recited Taixue, she understood something in her heart. This is the principle that after reading a book a hundred times, its meaning will become apparent.The more I read this Taixue, the stronger my aura becomes.If it was the fire of candlelight before, now it is the light of the scorching sun.

Ji Ruyu, who is now 13 years old, has been in seclusion in the bamboo forest for five years, and finally ended her retreat today.Seeing the familiar Little Sage Village in front of him, he couldn't help but smile with great joy in his heart.

With him here, this little sage village will last forever.

"Fu Nian pays homage to his uncle. Please ask his uncle to follow Fu Nian to meet the teacher!"

When Ji Ruyu turned around after hearing this, she found Fu Nian behind her wearing a Confucian robe.Because they live in a Confucian school with strict etiquette, even though Ji Ruyu and Fu Nianfan are almost the same age, they still have to keep calling him "Uncle Master".

Le Zhengzi, who entered middle age ten years ago, finally opened his door and accepted disciples.Not a student, but a true heir to the mantle.After many considerations, Fu Nian, the eldest son of the Confucian Fu family, was officially accepted by Le Zhengzi as his disciple.

Ji Ruyu also didn't expect that just after she came out of seclusion, she would bump into Le Zhengzi who had returned from Jixia Academy.It just so happened that he had some ideas, and he took this opportunity to talk to his senior brothers.

But when they came to the main hall of Little Saint Xian Manor, there were only Le Zhengzi and Xun Kuang sitting cross-legged, but Wuming still disappeared without a trace.Compared with the two brothers who don't like to move, Wuming often travels around the world and countries.

Le Zhengzi's expression was always so serious. When he saw Ji Ruyu coming with Fu Nian, he motioned to the two of them and said, "Haoran Qi has been cultivated!"

Just as Le Zhengzi saw that Ji Ruyu fit Haoran Qi very well, he could also see his unwavering temperament and character.If she hadn't successfully cultivated Haoran Qi, Ji Ruyu would never have been able to leave seclusion easily.

Ji Ruyu smiled and nodded when she heard this, but her body lying cross-legged vibrated slightly.A milky white, bright and majestic aura rose from the ground, supporting the entire house like the pillars of the Little Sage Villa.Such pure Haoran Qi made even Xun Kuang, who was proficient in martial arts, suddenly open his eyes after feeling the aura.

He stroked his dark beard, and as a fellow practitioner, he spoke with great admiration and said: "Junior brother is indeed a genius. In just one year, he was able to achieve such cultivation and good fortune. "

Not to mention Xun Kuang, even Le Zhengzi was very satisfied.While the two senior brothers looked contented, Ji Ruyu also put forward her thoughts at the right time: "Two senior brothers, Ruyu has already had his first glimpse of the Confucian gates. Can he leave the Little Sage Village and travel to all countries in the world? To increase his exposure and knowledge. At the same time, we will also prepare ourselves for entering the Tao in the future!”

The so-called entry into the Tao refers not only to the realm of martial arts, but also to the careful study and test of the path chosen by the disciples and successors by various schools of thought.Just like Wu Ming, who chose swordsmanship to enter Taoism, Le Zhengzi, who chose the Six Arts of Confucianism, and Xun Kuang, who chose Confucianism and Legalism.

Only by walking your own path can you be considered an entry-level disciple among all the schools of thought!
