Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

If someone really cultivated a golden elixir in his body, then what he cultivated is not necessarily a "golden elixir", but probably a gallstone.

But distracting thoughts are like weeds on the ground, even if they were all eliminated a moment ago.But the next moment, it seemed to spring up like bamboo shoots after rain, growing one after another.

Only when the thoughts are pure yang, or reach the realm of the yang god in the immortal way, can one's thoughts remain pure forever, and no distracting thoughts arise.

And the Yangshen great master of Taoism, in exchange for martial arts cultivation, that is a first-rank celestial warrior, a top master in the human world.

Now Chen Qi's thoughts are purified and condensed by the great spiritual power of Haoran Zhengqi, and they have become crystal clear, pure and flawless crystal diamonds.

Such a step up to the sky, becoming a master and strong man in the early stage of the third grade of Confucianism and Taoism.

This is the magic of Confucian practice.

It does not cultivate true energy, nor does it cultivate physique, but only cultivates spiritual thoughts.

Continuously purify and strengthen one's thoughts through reading. Once you have accumulated enough and comprehended the awe-inspiring righteousness, you can use the righteousness of heaven and earth to substantiate your own thoughts, and reach the sky in one step to become the top three grades of Confucianism and Taoism.

In Chen Qi's understanding, the so-called awe-inspiring righteousness is not only a method of moral supernatural powers, but also a method of spiritual cultivation that condenses spiritual power.

Through Haoran righteousness, Confucian monks can continuously refine their spiritual thoughts.

When the spiritual thoughts reach a certain level, you can skip the Yinshen stage, directly condense the Yangshen, and finally ascend to immortality.

Of course, Confucianism pays attention to: if you don't talk about strange powers and chaotic gods, if you don't believe in it, respect ghosts and gods and stay away.

So they don't say that they have become immortals and gods, but that they have become Confucian sages.

As for how to use awe-inspiring righteousness against the enemy?

In the words of Confucianism, it is to rely on the righteousness of heaven and earth.

In fact, it's not so mysterious at all. To put it bluntly, it is to use powerful spiritual power to control the power of heaven and earth.

It's just because the essence of Haoran Zhengqi is the gathering of masculine and upright thoughts. According to the game attribute, it is the power of yang attribute.

Therefore, when using the mighty righteous energy to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, it can only mobilize the masculine power between heaven and earth.

Combined with the upright and upright spiritual power of Confucianism, the so-called righteousness of heaven and earth is formed.

After being refined by Haoran's righteousness, Chen Qi's distracting thoughts disappeared, and he became more rational.

He felt the changes in his body and spirit, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was good or bad for him to gain awe-inspiring righteousness.

Because the awe-inspiring righteousness had too much influence on him, especially this kind of awe-inspiring righteousness was not realized by himself, but was forcibly instilled and cultivated by the system.

Under the influence of Haoran's righteousness, his distracting thoughts disappeared, as if he had become a real scholar, with the excellent and high moral character of a scholar.

However, there are gains and losses.

It is impossible for a scholar with high moral character to never forget Miss Changlefang.

It is also impossible to have some bad or bad thoughts about the goblins in Qianyao Pavilion.

Because, such thoughts are distracting thoughts, and such behaviors are immoral.

If Chen Qi really did that, then he thought about it.

The distracting thoughts in his heart will gradually increase, and the power of righteousness will gradually dissipate.

However, he, Chen Qi, was just a common man, and he never thought of being a gentleman in the past.

If he changes himself because of the awe-inspiring righteousness instilled by the system, making himself a moral person with the appearance of a gentleman, is he still him?

Having distracting thoughts is not conducive to practice.

But if a person has no distracting thoughts, is he still a person?

It should be known that happiness, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, shock, love, hatred, sorrow, desire, greed, jealousy, etc. are all distracting thoughts!

Without these distracting thoughts, there are no emotions and desires, and it is different from wood carving and clay sculpture.

When Chen Qi thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the gods in the sky, the Buddha in Lingshan, and those sages on earth who see through the world and have no desires or desires.

I don't know how long it took before he let out a heavy breath and said leisurely:

"So, compared to Confucianism's awe-inspiring righteousness, and compared to the gods and Buddhas who cut through the world of mortals, I think warriors are more suitable for me!"

"System, consume [-] experience points, and upgrade the first level of the basic body training technique of the human race to a great success!".

Chapter 35

In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was divided into inner and outer cities. The inner city had 11 streets in the north and south, and 14 streets in the east and west, which criss-crossed and divided Chang'an Guocheng into 110 squares.

Furong Garden is a royal forbidden garden, occupying two squares, actually 108 squares.

Taking the central Zhuque Street as the central axis, the whole city divides Guocheng into east and west parts.

There are 55 squares in the east, except for the two squares occupied by Furong Garden, the actual number is 53 squares, and there are 55 squares in the west.

The east and west sides are symmetrical, equal to each other, and the left and right sides are the same.

Although the Hanlin Academy is a place where the imperial court enshrines strange people and collects folk books, it is not valued by the imperial court.It is located on the west side of the imperial palace, in the Xiuzhen workshop in the northwest corner of Chang'an City, separated from the outer city by only one wall.

This day was the day Chen Qi reported to the Imperial Academy, so he came to the Yamen of the Imperial Academy early.

The head of the Hanlin Academy is called Song Yi, who is an official of the eighth grade. He is responsible for the affairs of the Imperial Academy, such as the recruitment and training of folk strange people, the collection, preservation and revision of folk classics, and so on.

The school clerk Chen Qi works for belongs to the proofreading and revision work of folk classics, and is one of the lowest-ranking officials in the Hanlin Academy, and below that are petty officials without rank.

The person in charge of receiving and entertaining Chen Qi was an editor named Zhou Xi, who was also his immediate superior.

Editing is an official position of the ninth rank in the imperial court, and above that is the editing and writing of the eighth rank.

Editing is responsible for the proofreading and revision of all books of the Hanlin Academy, which is already the biggest official position under the Academy.

At the same level as compiling, there are officials responsible for recruiting strange people and scholars, ancient books responsible for collecting folk classics, and doctors who are responsible for cultivating strange people and scholars.

"From today onwards, you are the school secretary of our Imperial Academy."

"We don't have so many rules in Xiuwen Hall, as long as you can finish proofreading the books that need proofreading within the specified time."

In the Xiuwen Hall of the Imperial Academy, Xiu Zhuan Zhou Xi checked the appointment documents, and after confirming that they were correct, he led Chen Qi to his place of work.

On the way, Zhou Xi did not forget to introduce the basic situation of the Imperial Academy to him.

"Our Hanlin Academy currently has a total collection of [-] million books. Most of these books come from the private sector and the small thousand worlds managed by the Tang Dynasty. into the library."

"In addition, although the members of our Hanlin Academy do not have the same benefits as other yamen, we also have benefits that other yamen do not enjoy.

For example, as long as you become a member of the Hanlin Academy, you are eligible to go to the library to borrow books from the library.

Although the library of our Hanlin Academy is not as good as Hongwen Library, it is also the place with the richest collection of books in the Tang Dynasty. There are many manuscripts of sages and scholars in it. "

When Zhou Xi explained, he did not forget to draw a big cake for Chen Qi.

The manuscripts of sages and great Confucians are absolutely irresistible temptations for scholars.

In the Hanlin Academy, I don’t know how many scholars and scholars came here to do free work, in order to borrow and study the manuscripts of sages and great Confucians.

"Thank you for reminding me!"

When Chen Qi heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, and he bowed his hands to Zhou Xi and thanked him.

Chen Qi has already gained a lot from the ordinary classics printed with woodblocks.

If you can observe and read the manuscripts of sages and great Confucians, you can understand their thoughts and principles through the articles and classics written by the sages and great Confucians themselves.

What a gain this will be.

Just like the same "Mencius", can the "Mencius" printed with woodblocks be the same as the "Mencius" written by Mencius himself?

Just like in folklore, a page of great Confucian manuscripts can suppress demons and gods, because it contains the spiritual will of great Confucianism.

Try switching to books printed by engraving and printing, let alone a single page, even if you are given a cart, it will be useless.

Therefore, when Chen Qi heard that there were manuscripts of sages and great Confucians in the library of the Imperial Academy, he couldn't help being very interested, and wished to borrow them immediately and read them carefully.

"That's not necessary, you are also a scholar, just call me Brother Zhou."

Zhou Xi waved his hands and said with a smile: "Our Xiuwen Museum has thirty-six categories, including Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Wu, Wu, Medicine, Art, Dan, Formation, Art of War, Economics, Essays, etc. Are you a scholar, or This year's Shinke Scholars, so I suggest you choose Confucianism."

"It just so happens that the school secretary who was in charge of Confucianism has just left his post due to old age, and there are only nine small officials left. You don't need to wait for a shortage when you go."

It seems that because he is also a scholar, Zhou Xi has a very good attitude towards Chen Qi. He didn't hide many things, and directly told all kinds of things inside.

"Thank you Brother Zhou for your reminder, everything will be arranged by Brother Zhou."

Although he didn't know why Zhou Xi in front of him took such good care of him, Chen Qi was not stupid enough to refuse, but just bowed his hands like Zhou Xi and thanked him.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll take you to see your office, brother, so that you can familiarize yourself with the office environment in advance."

Seeing Chen Qi like this, Zhou Xi couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said, "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can directly bring it up, and I'll send someone to sort it out."

"Thank you Brother Zhou!"

It's all like this, what else can Chen Qi do, I can only thank you again.

It's just that he was a little uneasy in his heart, because the boss in front of him was too enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm made him a little unbearable. .

Chapter 36

Led by Zhou Xi, Chen Qi came to a large hall called Confucianism Hall.

Entering the Confucianism Hall, the first thing that catches the eye is the rows of bookshelves filled with ancient books and bamboo slips. Several small officials in blue soap robes are sitting in front of the desk, proofreading the ancient books in their hands with a serious face.

"I've seen adults!"

Chen Qi and Zhou Xi entered the Hall of Confucianism, and the minor officials in the hall stood up one after another to pay their respects.

"Well, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Chen, and he will be your school secretary from now on."

"In the future, if you have anything to do, you can directly report to Mr. Chen."

Zhou Xi introduced loudly.

"I have seen Master Chen!"

After hearing Zhou Xi's words, the small officials in the Confucianism Palace did not dare to be careless, and saluted Chen Qi one after another.

"Chen Qi has met all of you, and he was appointed as the school clerk thanks to the respect of the Holy Majesty. Please take care of me in the future."
