in the edge

Chapter 129 Sage Book

Du Chengfeng had long wanted to try to understand the serious methods of cultivation in this world.

Although he had recognized Ruan Shantao as his teacher before, the old man disappeared before he could teach him. Therefore, the path he is taking now is still the most basic one, which is to increase his strength by killing people - but now he is running eastward. After running west for a while, he already knew that killing was not the only way to become stronger in this world.

For example, Ruan Shantao himself has never killed anyone in his life and is still extremely powerful. Or the prairie people's war drums and horns, which are another way to control evil spirits, or Liu Bolun's self-made wine that can suppress the evil spirits of weapons. Or maybe those so-called "immortal cultivators" in Taiyin Mountain had their own special methods.

Obviously, apart from killing people, which is the most obvious way, but also has the most obvious consequences, everyone seems to have other ways to go.

And this is what Du Chengfeng is most interested in.

"It's just to give me a little more confidence when I'm facing that court master."

Du Chengfeng looked at Liu Bolun sincerely.

"Please guide me, please, tell me what kind of skills are taught in the Imperial Academy in the capital of Jiankang."

"This……"

Liu Bolun started scratching his head.

"It's a good thing that you are interested in learning, but are you really ready to learn from scratch? Let me tell you first, at your age, I'm afraid you won't be able to cultivate any poetry or calligraphy."

"……Let me try?"

Even though Liu Bolun said so, Du Chengfeng was still a little bit unwilling to give up.

If you don’t try, how will you know you’re not good?
"Then I'll help you find a sage book."

Seeing that Du Chengfeng still insisted, Liu Bolun went out and asked someone to get a book of sages.

As for Du Chengfeng, it was also the first time he came into contact with what could be called a "teaching material" in this world.

It is said that before Chu conquered the world, there was a period of time when many kingdoms were established. At that time, there was a coastal country in the southeast, and this sage came from a place called Lincang on the edge of this coastal country. .

What is the name of the sage, but it is impossible to test from now on. After all, when the great Chu conquered the world, even the country where the sage was born was washed away. Obviously, facing the sharp soldiers of the Chu people, The sage books were of no use, and even the inheritance of knowledge was almost cut off.

But later, after conquering the world, Da Chu finally used this teaching book.

"Because all the classics at that time were more functional. Although you can learn various techniques from reading them, the only thing you can learn is the techniques."

Having said that, Liu Bolun pointed to the book in his hand.

"Only this sage book guides people to be good and teaches people how to behave."

After all, Liu Bolun, who was drinking, sighed, as if recalling those ancient years.

"Da Chu indeed conquered the world, but they who founded the country by force can only teach warriors. But you also know that if everyone is a warrior and everyone has swords and guns in their hands, then the world will be in trouble. Time has passed... You are from Jibei, you should understand what I am talking about, right?"

Of course Du Chengfeng knew what Liu Bolun was talking about. Strictly speaking, he had not been active in Jibei for a long time, but the simple and simple folk customs there, which were always slashing with a knife, left a deep enough impression on him. impression.

Even the predators from Nanchen find it difficult to enforce the law on the northern border. The level of chaos is evident.

So it is indeed necessary to have some rules, even if it is only the most basic order.

Just like old man Ruan Shantao did in Yanzhou City.

Therefore, the former Great Chu finally used this textbook.However, the use of the book belongs to the use, but the Chu people are not unprepared for this book of the enemy country in the past-they erased the country originally recorded in the book, and even erased the name that was written down, leaving only "sages" The two characters are used as its title, and part of the content has been deleted, leaving only the way of benevolence and righteousness that attracts people to do good.

The people of Chu felt that what they did was perfect. They not only obtained a piece of knowledge to enlighten people, but also erased possible future troubles. As for the book itself, it is just a book that teaches people to be benevolent and righteous. It's just some big principles, what's the use of this thing?Can it compare to the spears of Chu warriors?

However, what Churen didn't expect was that the problem also lay here.

The people of Chu erased the name originally recorded, leaving only the word "sage" as a pronoun. However, this word "sage" aroused the infinite reverie of these scholars - who is the sage?What is a sage?How do you become a sage?What does a sage look like?
"According to records, they were the first people to cultivate the righteousness of poetry and calligraphy."

Liu Bolun's drunken eyes were hazy, as if he saw those predecessors and sages of the past.

"Bao Chu erased the names of the saints, but instead allowed them to be more exposed to that mysterious and mysterious situation... Then, with the efforts of generations of scholars, they finally destroyed the cruel Bao Chu and established the later Yu Dynasty."

"Um……"

Du Chengfeng was silent for a moment.

He didn't know how the scholars worked hard, but he could see how far the scholars could do it, just look at Ruan Shantao - if it was a group of old men holding Fangzheng swords, they would indeed be a formidable force.

"So, what happened next?"

"later……"

Liu Bolun's face darkened.

Like all stories, the ending always seems to be happy-but obviously, for those readers, although the violent destruction is the end, it is also another beginning.

From that moment on, these scholars were finally able to practice their benevolence and righteousness, and finally able to enshrine the sages and sages in their hearts, just like the sages in the book they once admired, this time, it was their turn. When they come, they will educate all peoples like the sages of the past.

However, here lies the problem.

Although they all read the books of sages and sages, their understanding of the books of sages and sages is different for each person.

So, who among them is closer to that sage?
"That was a more brutal battle than the annihilation of Baochu... So now in Da Chen, the school of thought is no longer popular. They all give you a book of sages, and whatever you can see will be ignored."

With that said, Liu Bolun handed the scroll to Du Chengfeng.

"Try it and see if you can experience that mysterious and mysterious feeling."

"I……"

Du Chengfeng tried to read the book in his hand.

Regarding literacy and reading, he has already asked Liu Bolun for advice, and there is no obstacle to reading this book now. As for the content... It is not a problem to read it hard, after all, the content of this book is not complicated. It is basically a dialogue between sages and disciples, talking about how a person should become a benevolent gentleman.

But he has never felt that mysterious and mysterious feeling.

"Could it be that I'm dishonest?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but think of when he was in Taiyin Mountain, and he still remembered that it was the same way. He had read the scriptures for several days, but he didn't feel the slightest...

"Wait!"

As if thinking of something, Du Chengfeng quickly took his own saddle bag and brought it over.

Opening the package, Du Chengfeng pulled out a brass magic sword from it.

Yes, now he is not sincere.

But at least he can try and learn how to be sincere.

"I'll read it later. I'll sharpen my sword first."

As he said this, Du Chengfeng had already taken out the whetstone.

And the brass dharma sword had already been placed on the whetstone by him.

　The second one was delivered, because I sorted out the next content distribution, it was a bit late, and there will be more in a while.
