Chapter 72 Origin
Seeing Wang Xiao and the eight others kneeling to him, Yang Xian hurriedly reached out to help him, "Everyone is up!"
He is the leader of the Confucian sect. The first time eight people in this sect met and performed great rituals was a matter of course, but he did not stop him.
When he fought with the eight people, he already felt that the eight people had a killing move against him but had no intention of killing. Although he said at first that he asked Yang Xian for the Confucian Seal, when he really fought, he kept his hands everywhere, and it was definitely not like a confrontation with a deadly enemy.
Although the traditional Confucian mental methods and the Neo-Confucian mental methods both originated from the Confucian scholars thousands of years ago, they still have extremely subtle differences. This difference is not the nature of true qi and the size of destructive power, but an extremely unique feeling.
Because Neo-Confucianism emphasizes rules, learns from predecessors, and follows the sages and sages and does not dare to distort them at all, they will have more rigidity and rules when they take action, and less flexibility and flexibility. This is difficult for ordinary people to detect the slightest gap in martial arts and Taoism, which is also the most troublesome thing for the Neo-Confucianism lineage.
Until now, it is difficult for people in Neo-Confucianism to judge whether their fellow disciples have "successors of the Confucian Confucians"?
However, traditional Confucian children have their own unique methods when it comes to judging the enemy and us. Only the sect leader knows this method, but no one knows it.
Although this kind of judgment method can only be used by people at the level of a great master and is not useful to ordinary people, Yang Xian is not an ordinary person. When he was fighting against the Eight Characters of Zhongzhou, he had already tested the other party's identity.
It was only after confirming the identity of the Bayi of Zhongzhou that Yang Xian showed mercy and never killed anyone.
Otherwise, with Yang Xian's temper, he would not take action without taking action. Once he took action, he would never show mercy!
His enemies either die or escape. Few people who are injured and alive will be beaten up by him, making it difficult to keep the entire body.
He was able to show mercy to the eight men, on the one hand, because of the Confucianism teachings, banning the killing of fellow disciples, and on the other hand, he knew the true identity of the eight men.
In this world, when the Confucian ancestors and a few like-minded friends founded Confucianism, they were in order to preach the world and regulate people's hearts. However, due to changes in the world, it was difficult to give Confucian children a standard of giving everything in their actions. Therefore, they could only describe it without doing it, and only have requirements for human nature and hearts, but not standardize the way they act.
Because the scholars at that time deeply realized that things were changing every day, and people's behavior would be adjusted accordingly with the changes of the times.
If detailed and strict regulations are made on the way the disciples behave, it may meet the standards of that era, but in a hundred and a thousand years, perhaps this set of regulations will become a cage that imprisons people's hearts, which is not only beneficial but also harmful.
It is for this reason that the first ancestor of Confucianism at that time only had requirements for the moral and spiritual cultivation of his disciples, and did not interfere too much in the response to specific things.
As an academic thought that explores the progress, Confucianism has been constantly changing from ancient times to the present. At the beginning, several generations of sect leaders advocated "benevolence" as the core idea of Confucianism. However, after a period of practice, they found that if "benevolence" is based everywhere, it is too pedantic and later becomes "righteous". However, the word "righteous" is too subjective and can still be treated in a person's way. However, in a broad sense, for example, governing the country and pacifying the world, it is a bit wrong.
After trying this for thousands of years, we truly determined the Confucian thought, which are the eight moral requirements of Confucianism, namely the eight moral requirements of "filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, loyalty, trustworthiness, courtesy, righteousness, integrity, integrity and shame".
Only after these eight virtues were established did the foundation of all things in Confucianism.
Because of these eight virtues as a program, Confucian children have a bottom line and standard for being human, whether in the court or in the wild, and will not let down friends or betray the king, rarely surrender to enemies, and even less treacherous. Some are loyal ministers, martyrs, filial sons and grandchildren, which have won great reputation for Confucianism.
It was only after these eight virtues were established that Confucianism truly integrated with the governing philosophy of living emperors, becoming the most suitable academic sect among the hundreds of schools of thought that govern the country and educate the people.
Since then, Confucianism has dominated the country and surpassed hundreds of schools.
At the beginning of the establishment of Confucianism, it was divided into two systems: external propaganda and education, and internal raising children.
Those who are officials in the court or study abroad are considered as masters and can be regarded as disciples who are prosecuted outside. However, as schools or private schools that cultivate disciples in Confucianism have countless transformations and are scattered everywhere, and are not known to the leader of Confucianism.
The reason why it is divided into two systems is just in case.
When Zhu Zixi stole the authority of the Confucian clan and conspired with the emperors of the dynasty to expel the children of the traditional Confucian clan, this backup method was finally used.
The children of Confucianism are spread all over the world and are attracted by the world, while the children of inner schools have become countless, either as merchants, farmers, fishermen, accounting offices, or even join other sects and hide their names. Apart from the leader of Confucianism, no one in the world knows their identities.
When Zhu Zixi joined hands with the Emperor of Wu Dynasty to encircle and suppress the "rebellious Confucians". Although he killed a large number of Confucian children on the surface, he could not find out all the inner children.
He knew that the power of the Confucian inner sect hidden in the dark was extremely huge, but he could not find it without clues.
Even if one or two inner disciples were found, these people were in contact with each other in a single line, and they had never even met each other. Even if they searched for the gods and souls, they had no gains. After searching for hundreds of years, they could not dig out the inner disciples.
For thousands of years afterwards, the Neo-Confucian lineage never stopped pursuing the affairs of the children of the Confucian sect, but the gains were very small, but many people were damaged.
He knew that there was a huge force in secret and was waiting for an opportunity to move, but he was helpless. No one could rest assured. The inner school of Confucianism is already a major concern in the Neo-Confucianism lineage.
Over the past thousand years, the children of Neo-Confucian scholars have not only expanded their influence and cleansed the minds of the world, but also investigated the inner disciples of Confucianism, and they didn't even care about the invasion of the human race of Immortal Heavenly Pass in the North and the 100,000 mountain demon clans in the south.
This also led to the major incident of the sudden loss of Tianguan in the north and the successive departure of two states in the south.
But even though Neo-Confucianism has made such efforts, the results are very little. In the end, it can only be "treated and walking on thin ice".
Now, Yang Xian is probably the only one who can distinguish the Neo-Confucian disciples from traditional Confucian disciples.
Today, Yang Xian was very happy to see his inner disciple and helped the eight people up one by one.
"The ancestors were in absent, and the sects were divided, which made you hide your name and swallow your anger."
Yang Xian looked at the eight people and sighed slightly: "I feel wronged!"
