Chapter 426 The Legend of Confucian Saints

   "We opened a school to regulate the children's words and deeds from an early age. It happens that the school is learning the quotations of Confucian saints. If you have nothing to do, why not study together?" Ruxiu invited Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.

"good."

  …

   Before the three of them stepped into the school hall, they heard the sound of students reading aloud.

   "The Confucian sage said: Learning and learning from time to time, isn't it just a matter of saying? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Isn't it a gentleman if you don't know it but not stunned?"

  The students repeated this sentence with concentration, and the teacher held the tape measure and shook his head on the podium, intoxicated by it.

  The three of them sat in the last row without disturbing the teacher's lecture.

   "Okay, everyone read very well. You have to recite the words of Confucian sages repeatedly in order to understand the meaning. As you grow older and gain more knowledge, you will have new insights into the words of Confucian sages. I am 300 years old this year. I have read the words of Confucian sages for 300 years. I still have new experiences. I feel that the wisdom of Confucian sages is as deep as the ocean."

   "Now you just need to understand the superficial meaning. For example, this sentence is not a gentleman. For example, people don't know you, but you don't get angry. This is what a gentleman should do."

   "A monk's life is the pursuit of immortality, fame and fortune. Although a gentleman also pursues fame and cultivation, the premise of pursuing these is to have 'virtue'. Fame without virtue can only be a bad name, and cultivation without virtue is a monk who causes disaster."

   "To give an example, the middle one among the three who came in just now, yes, it's you." Master Wang pointed at Jiang Li.

   "You should be a new member of the Junzi Club. What's your name? Let's see if others know you. Will you be angry because you are not famous?"

  Jiang Li stood up, thought for a while, and planned to tell the truth: "My name is Jiang Li."

  The teacher nodded: "Okay, may I ask who knows Jiang... wait a minute, your name is Jiang Li?!"

  Why don't you say your name is Bai Hongtu?

   "The one next to you, what's your name?"

   "My name is Bai Hongtu."

  The teacher feels that this lesson can’t be continued. Whoever has the most famous name you say is who, and if you have the ability, you say your name is Yuyin!

  Ru Xiu saw this and smoothed things over: "Forgive me, Master Wang, these two newly joined brothers like to joke around."

  Master Wang waved his hand, expressing his indifference: "Let's continue to study the quotations of Confucian saints."

   "The Confucian sage said: When you see a virtuous person, think about it, and when you see a bad virtuous person, you should introspect yourself."

  Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu looked at each other, and began to reflect on themselves.

  Master Wang was very satisfied when he saw that the two had calmed down, and continued: "The Confucian saint said again: Knowing what you know is knowing, and what you don't know is knowing what you don't know. This is knowledge."

  "Confucian saints tell us that knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, don't pretend to understand."

   "For example, let me ask you, there are many versions of "Jiang Renhuang Biography" on the market, but do you know where Jiang Renhuang and Suzerain Bai Hongtu met for the first time?"

   "Sword Tomb." Bai Hongtu answered in seconds.

  "... Let me ask you another question. When Jiang Renhuang defeated Bai Hongtu and became the only candidate for Renhuang, what was the first sentence the old man said to Jiang Renhuang?"

   "It's lucky to have you, otherwise Bai Hongtu would be the emperor." Jiang Li replied in seconds.

   "What does it mean to be a **** in the stage of transformation?"

   "Turn all things into the gods in your heart."

   "How to achieve the three in one during the integration period?"

   "The heart moves freely, the perception of the Tao, and the body and shape blend together."

   "When the ladder to immortality is still there, what is the probability of becoming an earth immortal during the tribulation period?"

   "Eighty-six percent."

   "How many steps does it take to cross the catastrophe and become a fairy?"

   "Crossing into an immortal calamity, transforming aura into immortal power, transforming the immortal body."

   "How does an earth immortal become a heavenly immortal... Forget it, don't ask, I don't know how to do this either."

   "Understood, this is what the Confucian sages said. Knowing is knowing, not knowing is knowing." Master Wang gritted his teeth, and he finally expressed what he wanted to express, but the way of expression was somewhat different.

  Ruxiu hurriedly pulled the two graduates out of the school.

  After listening to a class, Jiang Li had new insights, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, do you know the relationship between Confucian saints and Taoist ancestors?"

  Jiang Li didn't pay much attention to the relationship between the top bosses in the Immortal Realm before, but now that he's in a situation where he's confronted with the Immortal Realm, it's better to get to know it first.

  The main reason is that when you fight, no one will know if you don’t fight.

  Confucianism cultivator smiled wryly: "How can I, a Confucian scholar, know this?"

  Jiang Li's question was of course not Jindanqi Confucianism Cultivator, but Bai Hongtu.

  Bai Hongtu thought for a while, and said: "Our patriarch and the Confucian sage must have nothing to do with each other. The age difference between the two is too far away. As for whether the patriarch has met the Confucian sage after his ascension, I think he has not."

   "If you ask Confucian sages and Taoist ancestors in the fairy world, there are many legends about this, but you also know the legends. You can't even tell whether there are nine truths and one falsehood or nine falsehoods and one true."

   "Tell me and listen."

   "It is said that the ancestors of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the fairy world - Taoist, Confucian saints, and Buddha were born at the beginning of the fairy world. Even if there are latecomers who rise up and become existences of the same level as them, they are not as good as these three in terms of seniority and cultivation. It can be said that the three are the oldest existences, and their lifespan is endless, longer than heaven and earth."

   "However, there are rumors that Zu was born earlier than Confucian Christmas. At that time, Daozu became the Taoist in charge of Taoism, and he was the first person in the fairy world. Confucian saints who had not yet attained Taoism once sought Taoism from Daozu."

   "No one knows what the Confucian sage asked the Taoist ancestor, and they don't know how the Taoist ancestor answered. They know that the Confucian sage left from the Taoist ancestor and began to travel around the fairy world, spreading Confucian teachings. He also incarnated countless times and taught the heavens and myriad worlds. Many people in the world only listened to the Confucian sage's lectures before they enlightened their spiritual wisdom, understood honor and disgrace, knew shame, and knew how to practice."

   "The Confucian sage's deeds have blessed the world, which is a great merit. With his merits and virtues, coupled with his own talent, he successfully became a Taoist and became a Confucian saint as famous as the Taoist ancestor."

   "However, Dong Zhongren felt that Taoism was belittling Confucianism, and has never recognized this legend."

   "Although I don't like Dong Zhongren, objectively speaking, I have to admit that his suspicions are reasonable. The fairy world has existed for tens of thousands of years, and the earth immortals, heavenly immortals, and even golden immortals have all fallen in the long years. Only they know the relationship between Taoist ancestors and Confucian saints. Maybe the Buddha knows, but the Buddha spends all his time playing meditation. It's as if he didn't say anything."

   "These two people don't talk, the Buddha is a riddle, and later generations used their imagination to fabricate a lot of legends. The number of legends almost catches up with the version of "Jiang Renhuang Biography". There is also a legend that the ancestors and Confucian saints are master-student relationships. The two have different ideas and are divided into Confucianism and Taoism."

  Jiang Li immediately had an intuitive feeling about the number of legends about Taoist ancestors and Confucian saints.

   "Brother Bai is really knowledgeable." Confucianism listened to the two of them like listening to the scriptures. He has learned a lot today.

  At this time, someone rushed over and shouted: "People from the Shushan Club have come to challenge our Junzi Club again! They even kidnapped our people!"

  Confucianism cultivator was furious when he heard the words: "It's really unreasonable! Brother Tang, Brother Bai, let's go, let's go to Shushan to ask for someone!"

  Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, turned his head to see who Brother Tang was, and then remembered that his name is now Tang Li.
