Chapter 1609 Gongsun Hong’s Guidance

Zhang Xuezhou flew from Jiangdu to Bashu, then flew back, then arrived outside Chang'an City, and then returned to Guangling City.

He has experienced many places these days, solved many things, and there are still some things to be done, but Zhang Xuezhou still did not leave Jiangdu in the end.

A Confucian classic is willing to stop Zhang Xuezhou, even if it is worth delaying for another month.

This is not only correcting Zhang Xuezhou's spiritual path in this world, but also has important significance for his spiritual practice in reality.

Popular, easy to understand, practiceable and inclusive...

All the elements of cultivation that Zhang Xuezhou can think of are contained in Dong Zhongshu's Confucian classics.

It is difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to change the cultivation techniques of the Yin and Yang family, but Dong Zhongshu's Confucian classics undoubtedly lead the way to the integration of civil and military Yin and Yang, and he will inevitably learn from them.

Especially since he has promoted the Yin-Yang Great Joy Nine Mantra in reality and is currently on the way to integration and upward.

He will not completely learn from Dong Zhongshu, but he can imitate it as a reference, or even imitate it to a large extent.

Zhang Xuezhou's innovations are limited, but he is undoubtedly good at imitating and constantly building on the other party's existing foundation.

Confucian scriptures are the product of this kind of flowering, and even each practitioner can do it differently.

Dong Zhongshu is learning from the realm skills of the Yin Yang School, and Zhang Xuezhou is learning from the Confucian cultivation skills.

Among them, especially the chapter on the induction of heaven and humans is the focus of his annotation.

With the famous teacher in front of him, Zhang Xuezhou did not appear to be secretive in studying, but studied openly and openly, just like he studied Haoran Zhengqi Chapter.

"You are transparent and righteous. Logically speaking, it would be easier to further promote the connection between heaven and humans!"

Dong Zhongshu's words of comfort to Zhang Xuezhou were excellent.

But Zhang Xuezhou had been standing in Xuanhua Tower for three days, concentrating, and he didn't feel the feeling of heaven and man at all.

If one expects the divine induction to benefit from the spell, the speed of this induction will make people despair. What is more serious is that it cannot be detected at all.

Zhang Xuezhou even continued to cast spells and consume mana because of this, and promoted Haoran's Zhengqi chapter to seek a sense of connection.

"It is said that one method can lead to all methods. If you can achieve the effect of awe-inspiring righteousness with just one thought, then you may be able to find the common ground between heaven and man," Gongsun Hongdao, who also studied.

Compared to Zhang Xuezhou, who had already started, Gongsun Hong also followed and recited the Haoran Zhengqi Chapter for three days, but at this time he had not even touched the threshold.

But precisely because Gongsun Hong did not touch the edge, he also made suggestions from time to time as he was on the outside.

"I think what Ciqing said is reasonable," Dong Zhongshu agreed: "If you can master Haoran's righteousness, it will be of great benefit to the perception of heaven and humans. Maybe it will be much easier for you to sense it!"

"That means I have to practice Haoran's righteousness more," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"You can do this," Dong Zhongshu said: "My practice of initiating is different from studying. I had no learning experience when I started. What Ci Qing said is probably more reasonable."

"It's not easy for Haoran's righteousness to be pulled back by a single thought!"

Zhang Xuezhou has accumulated several years of practice in Haoran Zhengqi Chapter.

His past few years were a simultaneous push to combine this world with the real world. Three or four years of practice was almost equivalent to about six to eight years for other people.

But even though Zhang Xuezhou has been accumulating it for so long, he has not been able to draw Haoran's righteous energy into his body with just a thought. He still needs to recite it to achieve effective recovery. "Recitation is not the key. What recitation adjusts is the fit between your body and mind and Haoran's righteousness. The key is that you have to find the point of fit." As a layman, Gongsun Hong guided: "As long as you find the point that fits your body, you can go there at any time." Take what you need.”

"Mr. Gongsun is right!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about the special functions brought by oral vocalization, and it was the first time that he gave up reciting and replaced it with silent reciting, seeking the commonality among them.

"Stopping your tongue is a change. You should still have the content of silently reciting Haoran's righteousness in your heart. This does not break away from the scope of the practice framework, let alone breaking away from Haoran's righteousness to trigger the real connection between heaven and man." Gongsun Hong said: "You can only Let go of the superficial content of Haoran's righteousness, and then move your heart in your heart, and Haoran's righteousness will come naturally. Only in this way can you truly achieve the one-step method!"

"Second Minister, your demands are a bit high!"

Dong Zhongshu agreed with Gongsunhong's suggestion, but he felt that Gongsunhong's requirements were too high.

If Gongsun Hong was taught according to his method, his lineage of Confucian scriptures would be considered extinct.

In fact, Dong Zhongshu believes that those who are not gifted can continue to rely on heaven and earth through recitation and other methods. Even if they are not gifted, they can still practice hard and make progress.

The inclusiveness of Confucianism is truly inclusive and does not just point to some specific spiritual geniuses.

Dong Zhongshu feels that his talent standards are relatively moderate, which means that most people in society meet the conditions for cultivation, but it is difficult to break through and reach a certain level.

And part of this is the difference between mediocre people and masters.

The chapter on Haoran's righteousness is one of them, while the chapter on Induction of Heaven and Man is the most difficult chapter, which even Dong Zhongshu failed to complete.

Dong Zhongshu felt that he would definitely revise the chapter on Induction of Heaven and Man in the future and find a better way to enter.

Zhang Xuezhou is actually a master as defined in Confucian classics, and to be able to sense heaven and humans is to reach the level of a great master. If it reaches the level mentioned by Gongsun Hong, Dong Zhongshu feels that it is only possible to be considered a peerless master.

Gongsun Hong's standards are too high and are only suitable for the cultivation of peerless masters or those with great luck. This is self-evidently difficult for ordinary masters like Zhang Xuezhou.

"Zhongshu, instead of being confused, why not directly guide the highest direction of practice?" Gongsun Hong said: "Even if it is difficult to do it now, practitioners will at least move in this direction and eventually find their own position!"

"That's right if you want to say that!"

Dong Zhongshu did not refute Gongsun Hong in the end.

Confucianism means that everyone has his own principles. He does not seek to convince everyone, but can also accept other people's objectively existing principles.

Dong Zhongshu couldn't say that Gong Sunhong's method was wrong. He just felt that it was too difficult for Zhang Xuezhou, and it was difficult to match Zhang Xuezhou's true level, and it did not qualify as teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

"I'm going out for a walk!"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou standing under the scorching sun for an hour without even bringing down Haoran's righteousness, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but sigh.

"It's good to go out for a walk." Dong Zhongshu agreed: "King Jiangdu is already arranging a convoy to go to Chang'an City. You can also go and see your borrowed carriage and give more guidance to your two servants. They are responsible for these official matters. It’s completely unreasonable, don’t enter Chang’an City without knowing how to do things!”

"it is good!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He originally wanted to go to the waters to see if he could have more luck, but after planning these few days, it was indeed time for King Jiangdu to arrange tribute to Chang'an.

Rong and Zhang Changgong were among the convoy of the Jiangdu mission.

It is safe to follow the envoys of the princes and kings on their itinerary. How to transport the money to Zhang Xuezhou's house in Chang'an City and how to use the money correctly does need some advice.
