Chapter 805: Half-Que Righteousness Song [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"The road is a long way to go, and I will go up and down to find out."

“My aspirations are just my aspirations, not the limit of aspirations. My descendants should stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and continue to explore!”

Yan Yan's voice was soft but majestic, and it spread throughout Yushan.

Over the years, he has gained a lot of insights into the righteous energy. Before, no one had cultivated the righteous energy because they didn't know how to cultivate it and couldn't find the way. After Yan Shuyu gave him that ray of sword energy, he knew it.

In fact, Haoran has always existed, but if one’s understanding and comprehension do not reach a certain level, one cannot arouse Haoran’s spirit.

Although he and Xunzi have mastered Haoran, it does not mean that they have mastered the ultimate of Haoran. It can even be said that they have just stepped into the threshold of Haoran.

“Learning has a limit, but thinking has no limit, and the vastness of mind has no limit either!”

“Therefore, I leave behind half of the Song of Righteousness for future generations to complete!”

Yan Yan stood in the air, holding a sword in his right hand, splitting a rock. The Southern Master's sword, with its noble spirit and scholarly spirit, quickly carved on the rock...

"The heaven and earth have righteousness, and are mixed and endowed with manifolds.

The lower part is Heyue, and the upper part is the sun star.

In people it is called Haoran, which is so full that it fills the universe.

The imperial road should be Qingyi, Hanhe Tumingting.

Seeing the poor seasons, one by one will be green.

In the writings of Taishi of Qi and Dong Hu of Jin
......"

Sword energy overflowed, filling the entire mountain and rock, and the iron painting and silver hook interpreted the Haoran meaning.

All the scholars and teachers in Yushan unconsciously looked at the words on the rocks, and unconsciously felt the vast righteousness filling their chests, as if there was a majestic energy that was waiting to be unleashed.

Once this great and righteous energy is brought out by them, they will be able to grasp the great and righteous energy.

"This is Haoran!" The great scholars such as the chief academic officer and the academic supervisor were all amazed. Their knowledge and vision were far broader than those of other scholars. It seemed that as long as they were willing, they could also bring out the Haoran spirit in their chests at any time.

However, they all resisted the urge to arouse the noble spirit in their hearts, because before Yan Yan's noble spirit, they felt that the noble spirit they could arouse was too insignificant and would damage the dignity of the noble spirit, so they chose to give up.

"This is a top-level martial art that can grow infinitely!"

Lian Po and Li Mu, who were visiting Yushan Academy, naturally saw Yan Yan's sword energy and the words he left behind, and were even more shocked by Haoran's terrifying power.

Ordinary martial arts have their limits, but some top-level martial arts can grow infinitely with the learners.

The Taoist Book of Changes, the Mohist doctrine of universal love, and the Confucian doctrine of serving the public are all of this type.

However, the thresholds for these three are too high, and few people can achieve them, or even find the path to practice.

In comparison, the Mohist doctrine of universal love for the world is easier to practice and there is a way to achieve it. Therefore, although the prominent schools of thought in the world are changing, Mohism has always been one of the prominent schools of thought.

Now, because of Yan Yan, Confucianism has evolved the righteousness that was originally impossible to cultivate into a martial art that can be practiced.

Perhaps, if Taoists still cannot find a way to practice the Book of Changes, the world's preeminent academic thought will probably be permanently dominated by Mohism and Confucianism in the future.

Li Mu and Lian Po knew what kind of changes Yan Yan's leaving behind of this half of the Song of Righteousness would bring to Confucianism. Naturally, the chief academic officer, the academic supervisor and other great Confucian scholars at Yushan Academy also knew this.

It can be said that originally Yushan Academy did not have the qualifications to challenge the Confucius Temple, Mencius Mansion and Xiaoshengxianzhuang to become a holy place for Confucian scholars. However, after Yan Yan left behind this half of the Song of Righteousness, Yushan Academy has become qualified to become a holy place and has the qualifications to challenge the Confucius Temple, Mencius Mansion and Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Even Xiaoshengxianzhuang and Meng Mansion are likely to be left behind Yushan Academy. Xiaoshengxianzhuang can become a holy place for scholars because of Xunzi. If Xunzi cannot leave a legacy like Yan Yan, Xiaoshengxianzhuang will also decline over the years, just like the Meng Mansion which is gradually declining now.

The chief academic officer and the academic supervisor of Yushan Academy looked at each other. They wanted to stop Yan Yan from finishing the Song of Righteousness, but in the end they did not stop him because of their selfish motives.

Yan Yan is the lord of Bingzhou and the Xuanwu Emperor of Bingzhou. Such inheritance should remain in Bingzhou, but as members of the Yan family, they cannot open their mouths to stop it.

"Perhaps this is the reason why we cannot cultivate Haoran!" The chief priest sighed.

If they could speak up to stop Yan Yan from leaving Haoran's inheritance in Yushan Academy, then perhaps they would become another person in charge of Haoran, but they couldn't do it because they had selfish motives.

Other great scholars also sighed. After all, they were narrow-minded and had too many selfish desires.

After finishing half of the Song of Righteousness, Yan Yan pushed the Master from the South onto the cliff, leaving it for future generations to take down and continue to complete the rest of the Song of Righteousness.

His Haoran is superior in its grand and magnificent pattern, while Xunzi's Haoran is superior in its breadth and depth. Although they are both Haoran, they are different.

The great ambitions of future generations should stand on their shoulders and continue to forge ahead.

Haoran has no standard answer, but it can be extended infinitely.

Landing back on the main courtyard square, Yan Yan's face was a little pale, and sweat was dripping from his temples.

This was the first time in all these years that he had used his full strength to fully unleash his full Haoran power.

The chief academic officer, the school supervisor and other great scholars looked at Yan Yan who had fallen to the ground for a long time without saying a word. Finally, they chose to half-bow and expressed their admiration and apology to Yan Yan with the etiquette of a student.

They could see that leaving behind this half-song of the Song of Righteousness and this method of cultivating this great righteousness was not an easy task for Yan Yan.

It is even possible that Yan Yan can only leave behind this inheritance.

"The Yan family and Yushan owe the Emperor too much!" The chief priest looked at Yan Yan and sighed.

Although the Yan family and Yushan Academy raised Yan Yan, the return Yan Yan gave also exceeded this kindness.

The name Yan Yan alone is enough to repay the Yan family and Yushan Academy for their kindness in raising him.

Not to mention that Yan Yan also sent a huge collection of books from the Chu State to the Yan family and Yushan Academy.

Now, Yan Yan has left behind the Haoran inheritance in Yushan.

This kind of gratitude has gone beyond the limits of gratitude.

"No need to do this!" Yan Yan hurriedly helped the chief priest and others up.

Favors are something that cannot be explained; it all depends on the individual.

"Changping Jun said it well: If you give birth to a child but don't raise him, you can repay it by cutting off your finger; if you give birth to a child and raise him, you can repay it by cutting off your head; but if you don't give birth to a child and raise him, it will be difficult to repay him forever."

"If it weren't for the teacher's life-saving grace, and the upbringing grace of Yushan and the Yan family, Wen Zheng would have probably frozen to death in the snowstorm that year, and how could he be here now?"

The chief priest, the school supervisor and others looked at Yan Yan guiltily.

The Yan family and Yushan Academy adopted Yan Yan only out of temporary kindness. For the Yan family and Yushan Academy, it was not difficult to raise an abandoned child.

If Yan Yan did not have such a high ranking and worked hard in Yushan Academy, he would not have received the emphasis on training from the Yan family and Yushan Academy. Everything was the result of Yan Yan's own hard work, and it was not intentional by Yushan and the Yan family.

Yan Yan was truly grateful. He came into this world penniless, but when he left, the Yan family and Yushan Academy were willing to give him the "Book of Changes".
