Yu Dao Qiankun

Chapter 307 Induction of the Five Virtues, Confucianism

Ni Shenyue, one of the three beauties of Dakun.

Because of Concubine Zhao, Peng Yu looked down on the other two beauties, and kept saying that they were in the honor of Concubine Zhao and were not worthy to be with Concubine Zhao.

But after seeing Ni Shenyue with his own eyes, Peng Yu had to admit that her "beauty" is indeed rare in his life.

This is a woman as gentle as water and as elegant as the moon.Her temperament is enough to make people ignore the already outstanding appearance and immerse themselves in the warm and indifferent atmosphere.

"Compared with her master, Ni Wanru is too far behind."

Sensing Peng Yu's gaze, Ni Shenyue nodded slightly.

When Ni Shenyue arrived, the great Confucians did not dare to sit still, and stood up one after another to say hello.

There is no way, Ni Shenyue's seniority is too high.

Her ancestor was Empress Ni, the wife of Emperor Ling, and Empress Ni, as one of the founders of the prosperity of Confucianism, enjoyed a high reputation in Confucianism.

After everyone greeted each other, Peng Yu invited Ni Shenyue to a seat and asked about the "Five Virtues" again.

Ni Shenyue's bright eyes scanned the hall, and when she saw the papers in front of the others, she felt confident.

She spoke slowly, her voice warm and refreshing: "The five virtues of Confucianism are more valuable than others, and different schools have different perceptions. But they are nothing more than benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust, loyalty, filial piety, humility, respect, gentleness, and frugality. , integrity and other good qualities.”

"Choose five categories from all kinds of virtues and define the five virtues. These five virtues are not fake, but only in themselves."

"The way of the five virtues is also the way of self-cultivation. There are thousands of living beings, and there are thousands of understandings of the five virtues."

Peng Yu opened the folding fan again, revealing the two big characters of "Spring and Autumn": "What do you mean, sir, the 'five virtues' vary from person to person, so they can't be compared?"

He was dissatisfied with this statement, especially after Zhang Zichang put forward a concept of the five virtues that was most suitable for dynastic rule.

In his eyes, Ni Shenyue's statement was a bit mild.

Indeed, Peng Yu knew in his heart that according to the development of Zhang Zichang's school, the future of Confucianism will inevitably lead to "foolish loyalty".It must crush the backbone and castrate like the earth.But he still planned to push it, and even wondered whether to stuff the private goods of "Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Principles" into it.

Because Liu Xue is too fragrant, too suitable for the rule of the Kunwu clan.

Seeing the disapproval between Peng Yu's eyebrows, Ni Shenyue smiled calmly: "The master left a letter explaining the practice of Confucianism."

"Cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, govern one's country, and bring peace to the world. These four are nothing more than working from the inside out, from the small to the big."

"The knowledge of the five virtues is also elucidated from this. Cultivate your own five virtues and feel the five constants of the world."

Hearing Ni Shenyue's words, many great scholars showed deep thought.

There are two great Confucians with profound knowledge and profound morals who are faintly touched, as if they have touched the real way of "Confucian saints".

"Resonance between heaven and man?" Peng Yu's eyes were slightly cold: "Sir, do you think that Confucianism can't escape the resonance with heaven and earth until the end?"

"Exactly." Ni Shenyue leaned forward and said, "Cultivate the character of the five virtues to achieve inner self. Then use yourself to sense the heaven and the earth, and be in harmony with the five elements of nature. This is a Confucian sage."

"In this way, what is the difference with Xianjun?"

"The difference lies in the Tao. The king of the immortal way uses himself to align with the sky, and he follows the way of heaven, and controls the movement of the heart of heaven. The sage of Confucianism and Taoism cultivates the way of humanity. He uses the human heart to touch the heart of heaven and arouses the sympathy between heaven and man."

"But there is also a 'harmony between man and nature' in the immortal way, how do you know that the heart of the immortal king is only the sky and not himself?"

"The way of immortality is expensive, and you can cultivate both life and death. And I am a Confucianist..." Ni Shenyue was a little embarrassed in her words.

At this time, a thunderous voice sounded: "The heaven and the earth are born with the five elements, the wood is born to be spring, the fire is to grow to be summer, the gold is to be harvested to be autumn, the water is hidden to be winter, and the earth is in the middle to make the earth."

Five shocking pillars soared into the sky.

Feeling this, Peng Yu got up and went to the window.

Finally started?

Behind him, the great Confucians discussed:
"Looking at the direction, it should be His Highness the Third Highness?"

"Your Highness the Third Highness has proved the Tao? Will our Confucian school finally have a real Confucian sage?"

"Look, there are words in those five air pillars."

Everyone looked at it with the eyes of wisdom, and each of the five pillars of Qi Qianzhang manifested a Taoist text, namely: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith.

Five virtues?

The crowd discussed in low voices, and some couldn't help but look at Peng Yu, thinking to themselves: His Highness the Sixth Highness asked us to discuss the Five Virtues, and now His Highness the Third Highness also follows the Five Virtues in preaching.Mr. Ni Da also regards the five virtues as the stepping stones to the practice of Confucian saints in his exposition of Confucian saints.Could it be that there is another deep meaning in it?
Peng Yu touched his chin, hiding the smile at the corner of his mouth.

Toss it, anyway, the basic disk was overturned by me, it depends on what you do.

……

Zhuan Yun was sitting in a tall building drinking tea.

After seeing those five words, he couldn't help whispering: "Fool, you are really a few ranks behind your brother."

Knowing that Peng Yu was leading a group of great Confucian scholars to discuss the "Five Virtues", Zhuan Yun was keenly aware of his intentions.

Kunyu proves Confucianism and sagehood, and re-establishes the theory of five virtues, intending to unify the various schools of Confucianism.The five virtues "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" in his understanding have been broken into the world and become the only truth of Confucianism.

In this way, he is not only the god king of the Kunwu clan, but also the leader of the Confucianism sect.Don't look at the current decline of Confucianism, but there are many contacts in the court.Even Wang Bozheng, Peng Yu's teacher, is inseparable from Confucianism.

If he succeeds, with the help of the Confucian sect, he will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored.It caused a great hidden danger to King Zhao's ascension to the throne.

Even if King Zhao forcibly ascends the throne, Kun Yu can earn the title of "Wise King".In addition, the great Confucians cooperated to spread their fame to the people, thus forcing the new emperor.

But Peng Yu was too hurt.

After realizing Kunyu's intentions, Peng Yu immediately gathered a group of people to discuss the Five Virtues, forcing various schools to produce their own treatises on the Five Virtues.

Even if Kunyu succeeds in establishing the "truth".Looking back, Peng Yu picked out the papers of several other schools of thought and sent them to Tiangong. As long as he got the support of the emperor, he could establish another mountain in Confucianism, even surpassing Kunyu.

The Liu Xue that Peng Yu tends to puts loyalty first.Not only can you get the favor of the Kunwu clan, but you can even get the greatest support from Tiangong.At that time, everyone in the Confucian school will be loyal to the emperor, so who cares about the holy king of the Confucian school?
"Calculating the time, Mr. Ni should have passed by, right? With her here, he should be able to suppress that kid."

Ni Shenyue was invited by Zhuan Yun.

Just as Peng Yu didn't want Kunyu to monopolize Confucianism.Zhuan Yun also didn't allow Peng Yu to become bigger and transform the Confucian orthodoxy into a servant of the Kunwu clan.

Ni Shenyue's induction of the five virtues completely disintegrated the knowledge of the five virtues inherited by various schools.Articulate school ideas into personal understanding.

Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and the five virtues that everyone recognizes are naturally different.

Some people put loyalty first, while others put filial piety first.But as long as you gather the five virtues and complete your own moral cultivation, you can use the five virtues to sense the five elements of the world and the five constants, so as to comprehend the way of sages and Confucians.

Whether it will be successful or not, Peng Yu is not sure.Therefore, he couldn't find any rebuttals, so he could only concentrate on studying Kunyu's breakthrough.

……

In the depths of the palace, there is a high platform built of five-colored soil.

Kun Yu was sitting on the stage, holding the Sun and Moon Pearl of the Great Dao in both hands, and a feather screen intertwined with five colors of light appeared behind him.

The orb penetrated into Kunyu's body with the power of the sun and moon, and then used the power of the sun, moon and yin and yang to derive the five elements, making Yuping bigger and bigger.

In the end, a peacock appeared behind Kun Yu.

"cut!"

Kun Yu used the formula to cut out his peacock feathers with the technique of incarnation outside the body of the immortal way.

In an instant, five colors of light illuminate the palace.The peacock carried the five virtues on its back, flying back and forth around Kun Yu.

The Confucian mentality and the magic power of immortality in Kunyu's body were all taken away by this peacock.All that remains of the body is the incomparably pure "Kunwu Heavenly Emperor Sutra".

"Friend help me!"

The peacock chirped, setting off five-color rays of light and supporting Kun Yu on his back.Then he integrated the Dao Sun Moon Bead into his body, and the sun and moon divine light traveled along the meridians, making his magic power increase steadily.

The incarnation of the peacock was transformed by the Great Holy Spirit, and it already possessed the power of a demon saint.But with the blessing of the Sun and Moon Pearl, Kunyu's body's mana is still higher than that of the demon saint's incarnation.

The first, second, and third ranks of the Great Sage...

In the end, it was fixed at the ninth level of the Great Sage.

Feeling the unprecedented power in his body, Kun Yu had a feeling: at this moment, let alone facing the martial saints, even if he meets several old saints in the Temple of War, he has the power to fight!
The inexhaustible divine power and the mystery of the Sun and Moon Dao almost made Kunyu completely addicted to it.

Fortunately, he still remembered the real purpose, and quickly summoned the two caves of the sun and the moon with divine power.

A sun and a moon appeared above the cave where everyone was currently in.

"Recasting the cave with Yin-Yang and Five Elements is still the main world of Five Elements." Peng Yu and others watched for a while, then sat down to drink tea again.

Kun Yu combined the power of the three caves to create a high-grade big cave.In terms of background and potential, it is far inferior to the Taiwei Dadongtian controlled by Peng Yu.

Even though Kun Yu has also become a Taoist leader, Peng Yu is also in charge of the seat ranking.

It took Kunyu seven days and seven nights to smelt the cave.When the seventh night passed, the three caves merged into one.The two caves of the sun and the moon serve as the sun, the moon and the two stars that alternate between day and night.The Qi of Yin and Yang is combined with the Qi of the Five Elements in the Great Cave Heaven as the sun and the moon circulate.

Similarly, there is a kind of innate avenue bursting out, which is helpful to Peng Yu.

It's just that Nie Jingyuan is also practicing with the help of the Immortal Daoguang of the Immortal Lord's Proving Dao.For him, Kunyu's testimony did not improve him.

On the contrary, it was Zhuan Yun who gained the most.

Zhuan Yun's Dao of Hongmeng was once shared with Kunyu, and Kunyu's innate yin and yang and five elements were unified to return the essence of Hongmeng.

Seeing Kun Yu's smelting action, Zhuan Yun has completely perfected the Hongmeng Dao, and is about to step into the gate of Taoism.

The reason why it is a Taoist sage and not a fairy king is that it is difficult for Hongmeng Avenue to entrust the Taoist fruit to heaven and earth.And Zhuan Yun also tried to open up the primordial space in his body. His way of proving the way is closer to Qiankunzong, and he wants to become the primordial world by itself, independent of Dakun's heaven and earth.

For this reason, he can also be regarded as a fellow of Nie Jingyuan and Peng Yu.

After Dongtian's promotion was completed, the five startling sky pillars suddenly merged into one, Kunyu's five virtue spirits turned into birds and resonated with the Great Dongtian, and then completed Confucianism, sagehood and Taoism.

Ni Shenyue, Zhang Zichang and others felt the spiritual power permeating the world.Great, vast, benevolent, wise...

That is the sage spirit that Kun Yu sublimated from his own five virtues.

It is also the most prominent symbol of the great sage of Confucianism.

"It's done, it's done, our Confucianism finally has its own saint."

Many Confucian scholars were excited and burst into tears.

Even Wang Bozheng, who came with Peng Yu, couldn't help showing excitement when he saw Kunyu proving the Tao and opening the door to Confucianism.

From then on, Confucianism is no less inferior to immortals and demons!

Ni Shenyue smiled slightly, and five colors of light lit up on her body.

As if resonating with her, the two great scholars who were touched also began to refine their five virtues.

……

Nie Jingyuan stood in the air, playing with the orb in his hand, and muttered: "The sage spirit of Confucianism is quite different from that of Xianjun Dao, so we can't borrow it."

At this time, when Kunyu's spirit of five virtues was about to dissipate, he felt three spiritual forces rising from the sky.

A spiritual force is based on benevolence, warmth, firmness, kindness and wisdom. It is like gurgling water or bright moonlight, which makes people feel at ease and feel the truth, goodness and beauty in it.

A spiritual force is the same as Kunyu, and it is also based on benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith. The five-color brilliance attracts Kunyu's sage spirit.A peacock appeared in the sky to protect the newborn spiritual avenue soaring into the sky.

A spiritual force evolves benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, filial piety, and courage.The combination of the five virtues is like a bright fire illuminating the sky, and its incomparably hot spirit shows the heart of this great Confucianism, which makes people's blood boil.

"Four sages in one day. Confucianism is the rhythm of rising!"

The Qiankun sect is a single lineage, and rarely intervenes in the disputes of orthodoxy.But seeing the four Confucian saints jumping up and down in one breath, Nie Jingyuan still felt vigilant.

Dive down and come to Peng Yu's side, he secretly transmitted the sound.

Peng Yu shook his head slightly, looking at Kun Yu who rushed over from afar.

There are Confucian sages who protect the Dharma. If they want to interfere with these three great Confucians, they will be caught if they are not careful. Why bother?
Kunyu still doesn't know what's going on here, and he doesn't know that his "good brother" is thinking about undercutting the wall and tearing down his Confucianism basic disk.

Feeling that the three great Confucians were about to testify, he hurried over to protect the Dharma.

"Mr. Ni, Master Bai, and Master Meng."

Ni Shenyue and Kun Yu have met several times, and Kun Yu's Five Virtues Sensation Method is also inseparable from her.As for Master Bai, as his prince's teacher, the spiritual path of the two can be said to be in the same line.Now that Kunyu is proving the Tao, it is also a good story to help his mentor in turn.

As for Meng Pingzhang, he was a great Confucian outside the orthodox Confucian school.But his character is outstanding, and he is praised by the emperor.

"Teacher, if the Confucian sect rises, it will be bad for you, especially if you join the sect of the third prince."

"There are three thousand ways, even if Confucianism is abolished, you can find a few ways to prove it. The five virtues are self-cultivation, and the induction between heaven and man is just one of the ways."

Peng Yu held Nie Jingyuan back and secretly watched the changes.

Ni Shenyue has accumulated rich experience and was the first to prove the Tao.

Her spiritual power breaks through the Great Cave of the Five Elements, and the sparkling water condenses over Dakun, forming a water mirror.Then a silver moon jumped out of the mirror and plunged into the dark sky.

In the sympathy between heaven and man, a saint brand belonging to Ni Shenyue appeared in Dakun Heaven, named "Tianyue Saint".

Then came Master Bai, with Kun Yu secretly supporting him.His sage spirit was imprinted in the Great Cave of the Five Elements, and then transferred to the Dakun Heavenly Dao. He also became a Confucian saint, the "Five Profound Saints".

In the end was Meng Pingzhang, who flew out of the cave and ignited in the sky of Dakun. It was not until the Huoshaoyun painted the whole sky that he was certified as the "Sage of Huoyun".

One day, the four sages of the Confucian school, other great Confucians were full of enthusiasm, and several people tried to prove the Tao.But because of insufficient spiritual practice, they all fell down.

At this time, the golden light of merit illuminates everyone.

Kun Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at her "good brother".

The stele of King Zhao's merits and virtues appeared behind Peng Yu's head, and the projection of a world was looming.

Too small and big?
Nie Jingyuan was a little confused when he saw his apprentice's movements.

Facing the four sages of Confucianism, Peng Yu said calmly: "Cultivating the five virtues within, and then sensing the world and the outside world, is indeed an orthodox method. Unfortunately, this kind of Confucian practice is only on oneself, even if the spiritual cultivation is enough to sense the world, it is only A saint of his own way."

Master Bai's eyes flickered, and the mighty sage's light condensed above his head, and the colorful rays of light dispersed the projection of the Taiwei world.He took the initiative to stand up to support the students: "According to His Highness, do you think our Confucian saints are not perfect enough?"

"Just now, Mr. Ni said, the Confucian school 'cultivates the body, governs the family, governs the country and the world', from the inside to the outside, progressively. Is your outsider induction only your own induction of the heaven and the earth? Where are the sentient beings, where is the world, and where is the family and the country?"

Ni Shenyue's expression changed and she fell into deep thought.Recalling the Patriarch's Handbook, she seemed to understand what King Zhao was referring to.

"Hmph, family and country? The world? Sixth Highness, you are young and don't know the deeds of these three great Confucians."

"Mr. Ni established a women's school for women all over the world, and traveled to many worlds. Such achievements are for the well-being of women all over the world. Can't he be called a 'holy'?"

"Brother Bai became famous when he was young. He learned the strengths of hundreds of schools and was wise. He was ordered by the emperor to build a library. He is a model for scholars in the world."

"Teacher Meng is also a great Confucian in the former dynasty. Wen can govern the country and the country, and martial arts can kill dragons and demons. How can you not be a 'sage'?"

"Since Confucian sages need to do things, why bother to create a sense of the five virtues, isn't it better to directly establish sages with merit?"

The monument of merit and virtue lights up again, and the projection of the Taiwei Great World is more obvious.Cities and academies appeared in front of everyone.

The sound of Mengmeng's childish reading aloud echoed between the heaven and the earth, and a little bit of white light gathered on Peng Yu's body.

Then there are fields and crops, high-rise buildings, and every corner of Taiwei Realm has faith and willingness to fly to Peng Yu.

But it is not the Shinto belief of King Zhao, but the merit of enlightenment.

"Confucianism also educates."

"Cultivate one's body, educate one's body, learn to understand reason, and gain wisdom and mastery."

"Family Qi, education of children, family harmony, and concerted efforts."

"Govern the country, train the villagers, rectify the administration of officials, and stabilize the country."

"Peace the world, the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be no more wars."

Following Peng Yu's words, the brilliance on his body became stronger and stronger.

Self-cultivation, he naturally did it.

Qi family, this is a bit difficult.

But when it comes to governing the country, the world is at peace.Peng Yu controls the entire world.

The enlightenment of the Taiwei Realm is all under the name of King Zhao.

"What the third brother releases is the cultivation of Confucian morality, and the power of the spirit touches the heaven and the earth. Then I will also prove a Confucian saint today, and what I show is to enlighten and prove the Tao."

The Confucian practice shown by Kunyu is the pursuit of self-spirit.The way of cultivating nature, the spirit is immortal, and finally touches the world.

What Peng Yu demonstrated was to rejuvenate the country through hard work.Compared with cultivating sentiment, improving character, and comprehending the principles of the five constants of heaven and earth, it is not as good as teaching.

Manage your own small family, then educate students, educate villagers, and then educate the common people in the world.

This idea is completely in line with the tradition of Confucianism, and seeing the peaceful world that Peng Yu showed, many great Confucianists fell silent.

Isn't the Confucian philosophy of governing the country just to create a peaceful and prosperous world?

To establish a world-scale peace and prosperity, is it qualified to become a saint?
　Well, it took me a long time to write this chapter.

　　I feel like I've finally regained my touch.
