Of course, Qin Lang had a good understanding of his own nation's history. At the very least, he had studied the history textbooks in middle school. He admitted that Confucianism had a huge influence on the entire Hua Xia civilization. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a saying, "Of the three religions and nine schools of thought, Confucianism is the orthodox school." The common saying was, "Of all things, only reading is high."
However, Qin Lang really didn't know what the relationship between Confucianism and cultivators was, so he could only wait for the Young Monk Dan Ling to give him an explanation.
"Boss, do you know why Confucianism has been like this for generations? Niu Jun Ba Chi Yue: Xixing Division? Jia Long Ben Xiang? Play?? Lao Ju? Malaria? Shun Yan? Da Zhi Zhi? Ao Lang Xi Chu? What if I am weary and thirsty for food? Qiao Chun Pretended to be scared??? Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi? Zhi Zhi? Zhi Zhi Zhi? Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi? Ku Tuo Mi? Corridor Dripping Embedded Burp Blowing Lazily Forgive!
"Didn't you say that Confucianism has cultivators? Where are their cultivators? "Qin Lang asked.
"Boss, Confucian cultivators are basically extinct now." Young Monk Dan Ling said, "Perhaps there are still some in the cultivation world, but Hua Xia is definitely gone."
"What do you mean?"
"Confucian cultivators pay attention to the cultivation of the heart, which is the so-called cultivation of the heart and the nature. The heart of Confucian cultivators is worried about the country and the people, and their hearts are concerned about the country. The 'Qi' they cultivate is not Qigong, but Awe-Inspiring Righteousness. Regarding this point, you can ask the people of the Devil Sect. In the past, the people of the Devil Sect were not afraid of Buddhism or Taoism, but the people of Confucianism. Although the people of Confucianism don't know martial arts, each of them has cultivated a body of Awe-Inspiring Righteousness. Once they open their mouths and exhale, they can combine with the Awe-Inspiring Righteousness in the world. Any evil spirit, ghost, or monster will be scared out of their wits by the Confucian cultivators! " As the Young Monk Dan Ling spoke, he imitated the appearance of a Confucian cultivator, but his actions were too comical.
However, after hearing Young Monk Dan Ling's words, Qin Lang had no choice but to acknowledge the existence of Confucian cultivators. After further explanation from Young Monk Dan Ling, Qin Lang learned that the cultivation method of Confucian cultivators was completely different from that of other sects. Other sects cultivated martial arts, but Confucian cultivators cultivated literature.
Many people thought of scholars without the strength to truss a chicken, but those people were not true great scholars. Great Confucian scholars who were truly filled with awe-inspiring righteousness could not only repel evil, but they could also be magnanimous and receive the love and respect of the common people and the trust of the ruler.
In the common people, they could command thousands to rule the country. In the main hall, they could berate the sycophants and muddle-headed rulers until they bowed their heads and begged for mercy. These were true great scholars. These people were Confucian cultivators.
The most amazing thing was that Confucian cultivators didn't rely on martial arts to transcend themselves, but on merit to transcend themselves and use merit to become saints. This kind of cultivation method might seem unimaginable, but the great scholars of Confucianism had always done this. Therefore, in the era of orthodox Confucianism, there was a saying, "One life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulating yin virtue, and five books." Accumulating yin virtue was the meaning of merit. Confucian cultivators believed that merit was the standard to measure a person's level of cultivation. Therefore, Confucianism paid great attention to the test of character and performance. For example, "Serving as an official brings blessings to the people." This standard was used to test the "merit" of an official. If the examinee didn't meet this standard, not only would they not be promoted, but they would also be impeached by the officials. Those with high merit could be promoted and put in important positions. They could display their talents on a broader platform and accumulate more merit.
Qin Lang had once sensed the power of merit, so he knew that merit was not easy to obtain. However, it should be possible to use merit to become a saint. This was because Qin Lang could indeed feel the power of merit cleansing and improving his martial soul and spiritual realm. If the power of merit was large enough, it should be able to turn an ordinary soul into a Primordial Spirit, a Saint Soul, all the way until the body became a saint and ascended.
In short, the existence of Confucian cultivators was indeed a different path. They were indeed different from other religions. Because of their close integration with the country, Confucianism had once become the most prosperous religion. This was, of course, referring to the land of Hua Xia. However, Buddhism and Taoism still existed, but what about Confucianism?
The current Confucian Sect only existed in name. Although the current officials claimed to be students of the Confucian Sect, did they even have the slightest bit of the demeanor of a Confucian Sect cultivator? A true Confucian relies on a body full of pride and a heart full of awe-inspiring righteousness.
What was the Confucian cultivator's strength of character and righteousness?
They dared to angrily rebuke the incompetent and sycophantic ministers in the royal hall for their perverse acts. They dared to remonstrate for the sake of the common people. They did not hesitate to hit their heads against the pillars and splash their blood on the hall. Even if they became a minister of a destroyed country, they would rather die than submit. Even if they became a shepherd, they would still be loyal to their country for ten years …
Since ancient times, who has never died? Leaving a loyal heart to shine in history.
Such a person was a true Confucian cultivator, the backbone of Confucianism. Speaking of which, it was strange. Although the Buddhist Sect and Taoist Sect produced many talented people, and although they grasped great power, when it came to the strength of character, they were far inferior to the Confucian Sect. Of course, this was an exception. Nowadays, true virtuous Confucians were probably extinct. Even if they existed, they would probably be living in seclusion in the mountains.
The righteous Confucian cultivators had become extinct in Hua Xia.
However, through the explanation of the Pill Spirit Monk, Qin Lang also had some understanding of the Confucian Sect's cultivators. He roughly knew that this sect's cultivators were different from the others. Qin Lang had always been very receptive to new ideas and new things. He believed that Young Monk Dan Ling's words made some sense. Confucian cultivators only cultivated their mind and not their strength, but they could still become Sages. For example, Confucius was an unquestionable Sage.
There were many people who became Immortals since ancient times, but how many of them could become Sages?
How many Confucian temples were there in Hua Xia? How many Confucian statues were there to receive incense offerings? This was the power of becoming a Sage. Many Immortals only had a few small temples to worship them.
Confucianism cultivated the mind, just like some Tantra cultivators who only cultivated mental strength. Although it seemed a little unbelievable, it was still possible to achieve success in the end.
Among the Confucian cultivators, there were also alchemists. This was the Heavenly Heart Pill. The so-called Heavenly Heart meant that Confucian cultivators should understand the Heavenly Heart and express the feelings of the people. They should comprehend the fate of the world and strive for the welfare of the country. The person who refined the Heavenly Heart Pill was definitely a person of great virtue in Confucianism. This was because the Heavenly Heart Pill consumed the power of virtue.
