Chapter 865

Yang Chen, on the other hand, listened with great interest. It wasn't until Meng Chaochen finished speaking that Yang Chen showed a trace of surprise on his face. Looking at Meng Chaochen, he smiled and said, "It turns out that the Meng family actually After being a saint, Patriarch Meng, you were really disrespectful before."

To be honest, it wasn't just Yang Chen who was surprised, even Chu Tianxing, who came with Yang Chen, and Meng Chaochen's three sons, were all surprised at the moment. Surprised, he held back at this moment, because he knew that with Yang Chen here, he was only responsible for guiding Yang Chen and driving. However, the three sons of the Meng family were so excited at the moment, Meng Fan, in particular, looked directly at his father and said, "Dad, is this true? Why haven't I heard from you?"

The other two sons also looked at their father with burning eyes. Obviously, they had the same thoughts as Meng Fan!
"Hey, if senior didn't say this, I would definitely not have said it today. It's a shame." Meng Chaochen sighed!

"What's going on here?" Yang Chen didn't understand, because, according to what Meng Chaochen said just now, the reason why he could see Yang Chen's realm was because this Meng Chaochen was actually a sage of the ancient generation, Mencius. It is precisely because he is a descendant of Mencius and has some inheritance left by Meng Sheng that he can see Yang Chen's realm. However, according to Yang Chen's understanding, there is such a powerful ancestor in his ancestors, This should be a very honorable thing, but looking at the current situation, it seems that the situation is not like this. Even Meng Chaochen is unwilling to mention it. Thinking of this, can he not be puzzled?

"Senior, I don't know. Although our Meng family is the successor of Meng Sheng, there is no inheritance. Almost all the inheritance has been lost. Even the realm of martial arts is only passed on by word of mouth from the previous generations. preserved"

Meng Chaochen's face was a little embarrassed and painful, and then he sighed and said!

"Uh..." Yang Chen seemed to understand a little bit about what he said. For an ancient martial arts family, the inheritance of the family is the glory of the family. This, among many ancient martial arts families, is more important. Life is more important. It would be too ridiculous to say that a Guwu family lost all their family inheritance. Thinking of this, he really understood why Meng Chaochen didn't say it. This matter is indeed embarrassing!
However, compared to this, Yang Chen was more curious about how could Meng Sheng's inheritance be cut off?You know, among the saints in ancient times, Kong Sheng and Meng Sheng have been handed down to the present. Compared with these, the inheritance of Mo Sheng and others seems a bit difficult, but that's it, the inheritance of others is preserved. It has been down, and the Meng Sheng inheritance, which has always been the mainstream of China, has been cut off. This is really weird!

Meng Chaochen also seemed to see Yang Chen's thoughts. Before Yang Chen could ask himself, he immediately looked at Yang Chen and said, "Senior, have you ever heard of the matter of the first emperor burning books and burying scholars?"

"Of course I've heard of this before. Could it be related to this?" Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Burning books and cheating Confucian scholars, this is a very famous allusion. Even now, children know it. How could Shao not know?
"Well, does the senior know why the first emperor wanted to burn books and defraud scholars?" Meng Chaochen nodded, and then continued to ask!
"Isn't it to imprison people's thoughts?" Yang Chen smiled and said, after so many years, many people think so!Young Master Yang is no exception!
"If that's the case, that's fine," Meng Chaochen said with a wry smile!

"Huh? Could there be other reasons?" Yang Chen was taken aback, then looked at Meng Chaochen and asked, while Chu Tianxing and the three brothers Meng Fan were also looking at their father at this time!

"En." Meng Chaochen nodded, and then continued. Yang Chen didn't understand until after he finished speaking. It turned out that in this ancient period, there were really many things that he didn't know!
According to the word of mouth of Meng Chaochen and the previous heads of the Meng family, when the first emperor unified China and became a master of the primordial spirit, he really thought about imprisoning people's thoughts so that he could maintain his rule for a longer time. However, This is not the most fundamental reason. You must know that in that era, it was an era in which a hundred schools of thought contended. There were many schools of thought, but why was Confucianism the one that suffered a devastating blow?In fact, there is another reason for this, that is, after the first emperor achieved the primordial spirit, he discovered that Confucianism advocates the unity of man and nature. This kind of thought is the easiest to understand the way of heaven, and even , the more he understands the way of heaven, the greater the possibility of obtaining the golden light of merit and virtue. The first emperor was afraid. He was afraid that such a person would appear again in Confucianism, which would threaten his rule. , and a decision that must be made, that is to burn books and bury scholars!
At that time, he killed all the children of Confucianism, and burned all the inheritance of Confucianism. As one of the two saints of Confucianism, the descendants of the Meng family were treated extremely cruelly, that is, the Meng family Among them, all the things that could be burned were all burned, and all the things that could not be burned were smashed and thrown into the sea, while the members of the Meng family were all killed without leaving any one behind. However, the first emperor may not have thought of it. When he murdered all members of the Meng family, there was one person who survived. That person was the ancestor of Meng Chaochen's lineage, and his name was Meng Fengcheng. With a direct slash, he was slashed on the forehead. This slash made him unconscious. Perhaps, it was because of the location of the slash. After the Qin soldiers slaughtered the whole family of the Meng family, they picked one without careful inspection. The pit buried all the members of the Meng family. However, no one expected that after being buried, Meng Fengcheng, relying on his dying vitality, crawled out of the pit in a daze!

After he came out, he didn't choose to take revenge, but directly avoided it. In this way, he preserved the last bloodline for the Meng family. However, because of this, the inheritance of the Meng family was completely cut off. Now all All of them were dictated by Meng Fengcheng at the time, and, as far as this is concerned, they are still being passed down from generation to generation, and the inheritance has become less and less, until now, it can almost be said to be nonexistent!

"I didn't expect it to be like this." After listening to it, Yang Chen sighed. This is indeed a tragedy. However, it is already a matter of ancient times. Whether it is good or bad, he really has no No way to comment!
And the other people were equally shocked!
