Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 332: The ancient sage recognized by hundreds of schools of thought! He has opened up a smooth path for students all over the world!
Confucianism today is itself a rather complex hodgepodge.

The internal differences were so great that there was even a saying of eight schools of Confucianism.

But in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, or the Jixia Academy and Qi State that once made Confucianism famous, the orthodoxy of Confucianism is actually quite complicated.

The practice of using ancient times to reform the system is something that future Confucian disciples will always talk about, but at present, the person that Confucianists truly admire is the sage Zhou Gongdan.

Starting from Confucius, after the split of Confucianism, Mencius and Xunzi can be regarded as typical examples of Confucianism. Although they are wearing the guise of Confucianism, their internal thoughts are very different from the original Confucianism of Confucius.

Looking at the disciples taught by Xunzi, almost the vast majority of them turned to the path of Legalism. It is not difficult to judge that the idea that human nature is evil has a great impact on Confucian fundamentalism.

The theory of human nature being good is actually the most suitable for Confucianism, because it can directly infer that the core of Confucian benevolence is evil, but this theory impacts the core of benevolence.

This is also the reason why Xunzi was very unwelcome in Confucianism, and this unwelcome attitude almost continued into the future.

Luofu's doctrine made Confucian fundamentalists even more unhappy.

Confucianism is more fond of metaphysical rhetoric and the idea of ​​a holy emperor ruling the country with ease.

What about Luo Fu's doctrine? Although he was not like Xunzi, who believed that human nature is evil and directly shook the core of Confucianism, to some extent, Luo Fu's doctrine had a greater impact on Confucianism because he abandoned the moral cover and directly proposed another feasible way to achieve peace to students from the perspective of the interests of Marxism-Leninism.

This idea of ​​achieving peace is what almost everyone aspires to, not just Confucianists.

Luofu's teachings were very attractive to various schools of thought and even to the dignitaries of various countries. In fact, because he rejected the theory of the source of good and evil, his teachings were, to a certain extent, more accepted by the dignitaries.

The powerful and wealthy certainly don't like being judged by good and evil, so they naturally prefer Luofu's views on good and evil.

The so-called good and evil are themselves acquired products.

But after putting aside these controversial arguments, the theory of Luofu bringing peace in three generations has truly planned a path to achieve an ideal of peace and prosperity.

And the Confucian and Taoist system created by Luofu.

The degree to which it is rejected makes it one of the least accepted branches of Confucianism.

The reason lies in the four lines of Hengqu that emerged from Luofu.

Of course, now that these four sentences were spoken in Xiaoshengxianzhuang in Sanghai City, Luofu, they naturally became the Sanghai Four Sentences.

Set up the heart for the heaven and the earth, set the destiny for the livelihood and the people, for the sacred and inherited knowledge, and for the peace of the world.

The ancient sages included all the wise men of various schools of thought. This was also the reason why Luofu, as a Confucian disciple, was the one who was least excluded.

But this is also related to the fact that Luofu is not very popular in Confucianism.

But no matter what, as long as one accepts the theories and ideas proposed by Luofu on a psychological level, it is like going into a temple to worship gods. And for Luofu's Confucian and Taoist system, it is like offering a not-so-pure faith to Luofu.

Luofu's Confucian and Taoist system certainly has certain requirements, if divided by the degree of believers' faith in God.

It is definitely impossible for general believers to get any feedback from the Holy Land. Only shallow believers can get some feedback from the Holy Land based on their own firm determination. The more obsessed and determined they are with Luofu's doctrine, the more feedback they can get from the Holy Land.

As a result, even the strength can be improved.

This thread spans the void, like a strand of silk, connecting students, dignitaries and others from all directions to Luofu.

It is a symbol that has been integrated into the Luofu system.

And soon, the first shallow believer of the ninth rank was born.

Even this ninth rank was not far from where Luofu was, in Xinzheng City. He was even someone Luofu had known before.

Of course, it was definitely not Han Fei, the master of Legalism, but Zhang Liang, one of the three future minor sages.

That's right.

The first person who needed Luofu to give feedback was actually the future sage of strategy Zhang Liang.

Unfortunately, after Luo Fu confirmed Zhang Liang's identity, he quickly realized that Zhang Liang could not really stand with him.

Perhaps, because of Luofu's academic knowledge, Zhang Liang would not abandon his government because of the person, and he would even rebuild the Kingdom of Han according to Luofu's teachings. However, from the perspective of the two people, it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Liang to become a colleague of Luofu.

Luofu's Confucianism is true idealism, although it is wrapped in the skin of Confucianism with the core of Marxism-Leninism.

But it is 100% idealistic.

Zhang Liang's inner obsession with Han meant that he would never stand with Luofu because of academic matters.

In the room, having just completed the establishment of Confucianism, Luo Fu was given such a great challenge by reality. He looked dimly in the direction of Zhang Liang.

At this moment, he was discussing Luofu's academic studies with Han Fei in the elegant room of Zilanxuan.

Zhang Liang's expression suddenly changed.

Han Fei asked in confusion: "Zifang? What are you doing..."

"Mr. Nine, do you feel that there seems to be an extremely strong and vast world between heaven and earth?" Zhang Liang's tone was full of excitement.

Now Han Fei became more confused.

As a disciple of Xunzi, he jumped from Confucianism to Legalism because of Xunzi's teachings, and even became the culmination of Legalism.

But Han Fei still knew that the so-called utmost strength and greatestness was itself the great spirit of Mencius.

Yes.

In Confucianism, there is a martial art called cultivating the great and righteous energy.

Moreover, the true Qi that is cultivated is indeed as Mencius said, the great and majestic Qi.

What is the world that is the strongest and the greatest?
Han Fei looked at Zhang Liang with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Zifang, you didn't figure out how to cultivate the righteousness by yourself, did you?"

Zhang Liang became more and more excited, and said: "Ninth Master, can't you really feel it? That is a world of great strength and greatness, with a great spirit that fills the heavens and the earth, but... but this world seems very far away from me, I..."

After a slight pause, Zhang Liang seemed to have realized something and suddenly stretched out his hand.

The next moment, a righteous aura actually burst out from his body that Han Fei could not believe.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang is a holy place for Confucianism. When Han Fei was studying Confucianism, he often came into contact with disciples who had cultivated the great spirit.

Even among those disciples who had cultivated the great righteousness for many years, Han Fei had not felt such a pure and pure great righteousness as Zhang Liang had at this moment.

Now it was Han Fei's turn to be shocked.

Although Zhang Liang knew martial arts, they were only some tricks passed down by the Zhang family. But now, the righteousness emanating from him was so great that even Han Fei could not believe it.

Such an undisguised release of his noble spirit naturally quickly attracted Wei Zhuang's attention.

When Wei Zhuang, who had hurried over, saw that the owner of this great energy was Zhang Liang, he looked at Han Fei with some confusion and asked, "What is this...?"

Han Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know either. Zifang suddenly asked me if I felt a world of great strength and greatness, and then... and that's it."

Wei Zhuang was confused.

What is the most powerful and greatest world?

But soon, Wei Zhuang reacted.
In fact, the special power in Zhang Liang at this moment was simply too obvious.

Even though Wei Zhuang had never felt this kind of power before, as the descendant of Guiguzi Zongheng, he had certainly read the classic works of hundreds of schools.

Among them, Mencius's "I am good at nurturing my great and righteous spirit" is almost becoming one of the symbols of Confucianism.

The noble spirit, uprightness and integrity are a perfect match with the power displayed by Zhang Liang now.

It’s not that Wei Zhuang had never come into contact with Confucian disciples. Confucianism actually has a tradition of great righteousness.

But in the final analysis, the Confucianism's great righteousness is just a method of practicing qi in martial arts, and is no different from the school of diplomacy, Mohism, Taoism, etc.

But now, this so-called special noble spirit displayed by Zhang Liang really made Wei Zhuang a little incomprehensible.

It was a kind of power that seemed to come from the depths of the soul, with rivers and mountains below and the sun and stars above, filling the space between heaven and earth, as if it had existed forever. However, before Zhang Liang, no one had ever been able to feel the emergence of this power, nor could they draw out this power.

“The most powerful and great world?” Wei Zhuang’s eyes flashed with deep surprise, and he said, “I didn’t expect Zifang to have such an opportunity. He must have realized a way that no one before him had. But why is it the Confucian noble spirit?”

This is what Wei Zhuang is confused about.

You know, the Zhang family of South Korea has been a Korean family for generations and has dabbled in the classics of hundreds of schools of thought, but it is impossible to say which family they truly belong to.

After all, people like Zhang Liang's family background and the various schools of thought were more of a tool for them to exploit.

Usability is the key to everything; if it is unusable, it will be ruthlessly discarded.

But now Zhang Liang has become an outlier. Judging from the righteousness he displays at this moment, even in Confucianism, Zhang Liang is enough to be a sage.

Han Fei frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Glancing at Zhang Liang who was immersed in the aura of righteousness, Wei Zhuang asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

"I'm afraid Zifang didn't attain enlightenment on his own, but was taught by others." As Han Fei spoke, he walked to the window, opened it, and looked in the direction of the mansion where Luofu was staying.

Wei Zhuang's heart suddenly became awe-inspiring, and he blurted out, "You mean... all this was... done by that Mr. Luo Zi?" "Although I know this is incredible, I don't think there would be anyone else except Mr. Luo Zi." Han Fei said dimly.

It’s not that Han Fei looked down on Zhang Liang. The truth is, to realize something is not something that can be accomplished instantly with just one realization.

That is the true right time, right place, and right people, none of which can be missing. Even more, divine help is needed.

Of course, this so-called divine help does not mean that the gods really appear to help, but refers to a flash of inspiration. It is also the explosion of one's own wisdom and knowledge after sufficient accumulation.

Under such harsh conditions, so far, very few people among the various schools of thought have been able to achieve this level.

Zhang Liang had not shown any expression before, but he suddenly felt a so-called extremely strong and great world. So, let’s not talk about how this world came about.

Just based on the topic he and Zhang Liang had just discussed, Han Fei firmly believed that Luofu must be the culprit behind everything.

Because when Zhang Liang was experiencing Du'ao's so-called extremely strong and great world, the two of them were actually discussing Luofu's theories.

However, compared with Han Fei, who came from the School of Legalism, Zhang Liang was obviously more able to understand and accept Luofu's doctrines and ideas.

The identity of the culmination of the Legalists had already left a mark of thought on Han Fei's heart.

He could accept the theories of other schools of thought, but he would never believe them.

Without even believing in it, Han Fei naturally had no chance to sense the existence of the great energy.

It was also the argument between the two before that Zhang Liang seemed to have thought of something, but he hadn't opened his mouth yet.

He suddenly felt the so-called vast and powerful world, and then such incredible changes happened.

Wei Zhuang frowned and said, "Xinzheng is in trouble right now. What is Mr. Luo's intention in doing this?"

"Intention?" Han Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I think my uncle probably has no intention at all. He just discovered or created such an incredible aura."

After a slight pause, Han Fei looked at Wei Zhuang and said, "This is like a tiger. Even if it just turns over casually, it can cause natural disasters to ordinary ants. We are the ants, and Uncle Luofu is the tiger."

With a flash of his eyes, Wei Zhuang said, "So, Zifang was just an accident. Even if there was no Zifang, there would be someone else?"

"That's right." Han Fei nodded and sighed faintly, "What exactly does Master Uncle want to do? Let's wait until Zifang wakes up. Perhaps we can learn something about Master Uncle's purpose from Zifang."

Han Fei and Wei Zhuang did not have to wait long. More importantly, the Confucian and Taoist system created by Luofu was just a prototype, like a building whose foundation had just been dug.

Not to mention other things, Luofu has not even completely built the ninth-grade system yet, let alone the realm above the ninth grade.

And Zhang Liang was just the first lucky person after the birth of the Confucian and Taoist system.

When he entered the ninth level directly from his first contact with the Confucian and Taoist system, he quickly woke up from that mysterious perception.

Zhang Liang's face was a bit complicated, and he said: "I didn't expect Mr. Luozi to be such a saint. Not only did he create the Three Worlds Theory that brought peace, but he even... even opened up another lineage for our human race."

"Zifang, how do you feel?" Wei Zhuang and Han Fei did not rush to ask what the righteous spirit just now was. They were now more concerned about Zhang Liang's physical condition.

After all, the kind of extremely strong and great righteousness that Zhang Liang had just displayed, which filled the vast ocean, seemed to be abandoning all other forces, as if it was resonating with the mountains, rivers, sun and moon.

When Zhang Liang woke up from that strange state.

Wei Zhuang could clearly feel that there seemed to be some mysterious changes in Zhang Liang's body, but what was certain was that his body did not become like that of a martial artist.

But what was incredible was that Wei Zhuang felt a faint sense of threat from Zhang Liang.

You know, in Wei Zhuang's eyes, Zhang Liang's strength is actually nothing special.

But for Wei Zhuang, who thinks highly of himself, Zhang Liang’s greatest influence lies not in his family background but in his strength.

But now his body clearly hasn't shown any obvious improvement like that of someone who practices martial arts.

However, he felt a possibility from Zhang Liang that was enough to threaten him.

The only explanation is the so-called great spirit that just erupted from Zhang Liang.

I didn’t know how much of a shock my sudden change had brought to Wei Zhuang.

Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "I am fine, even better than ever before. But, Master Jiu, do you know what incredible thing Mr. Luo Zi did?"

As he spoke, Zhang Liang's expression became excited, and as if to prove something, he danced with joy and said, "Mr. Luo is a Confucian disciple, and he has opened up another unprecedented path for students all over the world."

"Wait a minute! Zifang, do you think that Uncle Luozi has opened up a smooth path for students all over the world?" Han Fei frowned and looked at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang was unaware of Han Fei's confusion at the moment, but nodded directly and said, "Yes, Master Jiu, Mr. Luo Zi has opened up a Confucian path for students all over the world."

"Wasn't Confucianism and Taoism founded by Confucius?" Wei Zhuang asked in confusion.

"No, Confucianism was passed down from the Zhou Dynasty. The real founder was Duke Zhou. Confucius merely inherited Duke Zhou's teachings." Han Fei shook his head and explained.

In fact, Confucius today does not have the same status as in later generations. At best, he is more respected among Confucianists. Even within Confucianism, Confucius' identity and position are not high.

The true saint without a doubt is Duke of Zhou, who established the Zhou rites and is also recognized as the Great Saint.

Confucian disciples in later generations often quote Confucius. But nowadays, the most convincing one is Zhou Gongdan.

Even Confucius, when he was at a disadvantage in a debate with others, or when someone caught him making a logical mistake, would naturally say, "I dreamed of Zhou Gong last night, and Zhou Gong told me this truth."

Often, all Confucius needs to do is say this, and then even if the opponent finds the flaw in Confucianism, he can only sigh helplessly.

Confucianism is essentially similar to the later Neo-Confucianism and Mind-learning, including various schools and cliques, all of which follow the path of "Annotating the Six Classics".

In fact, all Confucius needs to do is play the card of dreaming about Zhou Gongdan to get rid of the logical loopholes in Confucianism. It is not to say that Zhou Gongdan's name can be recorded in history books, but it is a reason Confucius found to maintain Confucianism.

Zhou Gongdan is an ancient sage recognized by all schools of thought.

The rule of Duke Zhou became an utopia-like state, with almost no authenticity, and more of a reflection of the ideals of various schools of thought on how to govern the world.

This also resulted in Zhou Gongdan's authority becoming almost unshakable.

Of course, the authority of Zhou Gongdan is unshakable and has certain prerequisites.

For example, in the Legalist school, Zhou Gongdan did not have such weight.

On the one hand, the Legalists themselves did not have a clear lineage of inheritance, and many of the Legalists’ disciples who were once prominent were often self-taught.

Han Fei and Li Si could both be considered self-taught. Originally, they studied Confucianism and were even disciples of Xunzi, but in the end, this pair of brothers became representatives of the Legalist school.

Han Fei is even called the master of Legalism. In his book "Five Vermin", he simply made the evaluation that Confucians use literature to disrupt the law, and knights use force to violate the ban.

Perhaps it was precisely because of Han Fei's disdain for Confucianism that he admired Luo Fu's academic ideas so much, and even believed that Luo Fu's three-generation theory was very feasible.

But he still firmly believed that it was impossible to achieve the so-called benevolent governance purely by relying on Confucianism.

Feasibility and possibility are two different changes and should not be confused.

This kind of disapproval of Luofu's doctrine based on the basic academic logic made Han Fei, who was obviously exposed to Luofu's thoughts earlier than Zhang Liang, and theoretically should have touched the sacred realm of divine power more than Zhang Liang.

But Zhang Liang happened to be the first person to obtain the great energy who was closest to Luofu.

Although he did not approve of Confucianism in his heart, Han Fei had at least truly felt the great strength and greatness of the great spirit.

Even though he didn't know martial arts, Han Fei knew that if Zhang Liang's situation was not an isolated case, the consequences would be terrible.

"Zifang, the Confucianism you mentioned, is it the greatest and most powerful force just now?" Han Fei asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Liang nodded first, but then shook his head and said, "No, Master Jiu, what I just got was not the noble spirit of Confucianism and Taoism, but just a seed."

"A seed?" Wei Zhuang asked in surprise, "How can a mere seed make you feel threatened?"

Wei Zhuang was not clear that what Zhang Liang had obtained were indeed only the seeds of Confucianism and Taoism, and at best, he was only just a step away from the ninth rank.

The reason why Wei Zhuang felt threatened was, in essence, purely brought about by the mighty world of Luofu.

We must never forget that the Confucianism and Taoism pioneered by Luofu is not a system that attributes great power to itself at all, but a method of gathering people.

The Shenwei World has now been completely transformed into a holy land of Confucianism and Taoism. All determined Confucian disciples, as long as they recognize Luofu's academic knowledge, have a certain probability of consciously coming into contact with the Shenwei World.

Awaken your own seed of great righteousness.

But if you want to continuously increase this power, you need a firm determination and constant exchanges with the Divine Power Sanctuary.

Unfortunately, this kind of Confucian and Taoist spirit can only be fulfilled by Luofu, the only sower.

Others are just providing Luofu with the nourishment for the growth of this system.

The reason why Wei Zhuang felt threatened was not because he sensed the existence of the Shenwei Cave Heaven, but because he felt his own insignificance. It was just an instinctive vigilance and awe when a life is threatened.

It's like a sixth sense that becomes stronger after training and practice.

This kind of mysterious feeling is the most mysterious.
