Chapter 57 If you don’t understand [The Analects of Confucius], you can understand [Wandering Confucius] a little bit
The next day, it snowed heavily.
The wind and snow are blowing through the streets of Chang'an. Today, everyone is looking forward to the final debate examination of the liberal arts.
In the lounge, in front of the mirror, Qin Feng looked at himself in the mirror carefully.
Wearing a light white Xianyang Confucian scholar's robe made of high-quality materials, the wide sleeves of the robe cover up his six-pack abs and biceps. At a glance, he has a sunny smile and a refreshing and clean face. No matter which angle you look at it, you can't associate it with words like laoliu, despicable, shameless, sinister, city government, and obscene.
"Prejudice is a mountain in people's hearts!"
"Once it occurs, it will never change."
"I am not a bad person."
"But because of you He became a bad person because of his prejudice."
Qin Feng wiped his cheek gently, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to himself in the mirror.
At this moment, Zhang Beihai's voice came from outside the door, "Hey, are you done?"
Qin Feng opened the door and said, "Here it comes! Don't rush!"
Zhang Beihai He looked Qin Feng up and down and nodded, "Not bad, not bad, full of energy and talent!"
Qin Feng walked towards the dinner table and said, "Has the group list come out?"
"Not yet," Zhang Beihai said, "But it will be out soon! Show off the rice first! Miss! Please double yesterday's menu!"
The beautiful maids in ancient dresses were particularly attentive, and their beautiful eyes were filled with little stars when they looked at Qin Feng. Obviously, they also took note of yesterday's results.
No matter what the results of other candidates are this year, the young man in front of him has firmly occupied the first place in the liberal arts single competition.
After all, the total score in liberal arts is only 100 points, and Qin Feng has already scored 100 points in the first theoretical subject. No matter how many points he gets in the future, he will be more than other candidates.
This is yes, I reluctantly took the first place, everyone, please take the second place!
"Sir, please use it slowly!"
"Sir, the holographic video projection has been started! Please tell me if you need anything."
After a while, groups appeared on the holographic screen.
"【Liberal Arts Finals】The group ranking has been announced. This ranking follows the previous principles of fairness and combining the best and the worst. There are nine groups in total, and each group has 3-10 members. members!”
“The first group, Tianzi Examination Hall, [Yi Sheng] + 9 members”
“The second group, Dizi Examination Hall, [Haoran Zhenxian] +. 8 members.”
"The third group, Dizi examination room, [Taoist Daojun] + 7 members."
"..."
"The ninth group, Xuanzi examination room, [Shengtian Banzi] 】+2 members.”
When Qin Feng saw his group, he rubbed his eyes hard!
Oh shit, you read that right!
Why are other groups almost full, but only three of us!
Could it be that there is a big daddy in my group? Is that Han Feizi, or Gongsun Shengxie?
No, Gongsun Shengxie himself is a [Famous Taoist Master], he cannot be in my group!
There is only one possibility. The member of my group is Han Feizi, the master of Legalism!
Qin Feng looked back expectantly, and then saw two of his team members, a fat man from the Yin Yang family who weighed more than 400 pounds, and a young man with dark skin who had lost weight.
Qin Feng knew this fat man from the Yin Yang family who weighed more than 400 pounds. He was actually Dongfang Laoying, who he had met several times!
As for the bitter, dark-skinned young man, his surname is Shen and his first name is Heifu! He seems to be an unknown person.
Zhang Beihai checked his cell phone on one side with a solemn expression, "Feng, something is not right!"
Qin Feng said, "Are these two bad people?"
< br>Zhang Hokkaido, "It's not just bad, it's simply embarrassing! This black man is the last to pass the average score, and his internal defense score is nine out of ten wins!"
"And this fat guy from the Yin Yang family was originally three away from entering the finals, but the three candidates in front of him all encountered misfortune. Two of the three were in the process of internal defense, and two of them got into trouble because of internal debate. The blood attacked the heart and died of myocardial infarction. The other one fought with someone and was accidentally beaten to death! All three people died, so the fat man entered the finals as a substitute!"
"This is equivalent to being beaten to death! Said, one from the bottom and one from the bottom have been arranged for you!”
“Your situation is very serious!”
Qin Feng drank his porridge and said nothing.
Qin Feng had not expected such a situation.
According to the normal configuration of the Jinghong player team, there is a master, a laggard, and some middle-class players.
And I am the master with the highest score, and I am also a Jinghong player. That is equivalent to taking the double advantage BUFF by myself, and the only players I can equip myself with are rubbish players.
So Shen Heifu, who was first from last, and Dongfang Laoying, who was second from last and took up the zero position, appeared.
What makes Qin Feng curious is whether Dongfang Laoying is really lucky, or is there someone behind the scenes who has arranged for him to be lucky?
How come the people who were his enemies were either washed away by flash floods or died on the spot?
Forget about the two coincidences this time, he was able to make it all the way to the finals. His destiny was no longer ordinary. He could compete with a certain innocent boy named Ding Jia in his previous life.
"Have a nice trip, young hero!"
"Come on, Xiaofeng!"
"Goodbye, everyone!"
Qin Feng waved to everyone He waved his hand and walked towards the empty aisle for star candidates.
This time, the end of the passage is no longer the small dark room, but a new space, leading directly to the Xianyang branch of the Confucian Jixia Academy.
Qin Feng opened the door and saw snowflakes flying in front of him.
This door seems to contain some undisclosed space rules. It can fold the distance that is obviously thousands or tens of thousands of meters into a distance of a few centimeters, thus allowing you to move one step at a time. Step out and you will come to the Xianyang branch of Jixia Academy.
Heavy snow blows on my face, but it is not cold. When I see it, peach blossoms are in full bloom and the peach forest is in full bloom.
Crimson peach blossoms are connected in the cold snow. Some students who have arrived early are walking among them in Confucian robes. Looking at them from a distance, they are all perfect ancient landscape paintings.
At this moment, a fat ball weighing more than 400 kilograms was running towards him happily. With every step he took, the peach trees around him rustled, and the petals of the peach blossoms scattered and disappeared.
"Brother Feng!"
"Hahaha!"
Dongfang Laoying hugged Qin Feng enthusiastically and said excitedly, "We are really very talented. It’s fate that I can be assigned to a group! I didn’t expect that you are actually the Zongheng family [Shengtian Banzi]! That’s great!”
Qin Fenghe said hello with a smile. Deep down, I pay more attention to this 400-pound fat man.
Qin Feng has always believed that luck is also a part of strength. There is a reason why Dongfang Laoying has been able to go all the way to this day.
You may not understand this truth, but you cannot ignore it. To ignore it is to be proud and complacent, and to be self-willed.
Qin Feng said, "When did you become a disciple of the Yin-Yang family?"
Dongfang Lao Ying said, "I am! This thing is a secret! The Yin-Yang family Well, the small sect, like you politicians, tends to attract hatred, so I rarely talk about it to outsiders. "
Pushing hatred, indeed!
Qin Feng now heard that the Yin and Yang family was filled with hatred.
I just didn’t expect that Old Biao Dongfang was also from the Yin Yang family.
Just when the two were hugging each other, a cough came from the side, "Hello, my dear friends! I am Heifu."
Dongfang Laoying and Qin Feng looked back Go, the person who spoke was skinny and dark-skinned. He looked like a malnourished tuberculosis ghost. He seemed to be coughing up blood if he took more than two steps.
Dongfang Laoying said enthusiastically, "My surname is Dongfang, and my father hopes that I will remain undefeated for the rest of my life! So my name is..."
Heifu said, "Dongfang is undefeated?"
Dongfang Laoying said with satisfaction, "Dongfang Lao won! Hahaha!"
Heifu laughed a little embarrassedly.
Qin Feng, who was watching the two of them on the side, finally had a diary that had not responded for a long time!
“Ding! Tip: Discover the secret of Heifu!”
"Ding! Hint: Mr. Hei's surname is Shen, and his given name is Buhai. He is a descendant of the Zheng Kingdom. After Han destroyed Zheng, he wandered around and came to Qin to study."
Shen Buhai!
Qin Feng was elated in his heart, holy shit, he’s a big shot!
The three giants of Legalism, Shang Yang, Shen Buhai, and Han Feizi! Now there are two! Qin Feng knew in his heart that according to the history of his hometown, Han Feizi was born fifty years after Shen Buhai died! They are not from the same era.
But in this world, the average person is three hundred years old, and this is only fifty years, so it is not insurmountable.
The only question now is, why does Shen Buhao use the pseudonym Heifu!
The name Heifu, in this era, is as popular as Gou Sheng, Tie Zhu, and Er Niu in his hometown in the Earth era. Using the name Heifu obviously does not want to expose his true strength.
Thinking again about his last place result, Qin Feng was absolutely sure that Shen Buhai was deliberately controlling his score and placing himself in last place, just enough to keep up, but not will be eliminated.
Others did not know Shen Buhai's reputation, and the Yin Yang family did not reveal him, which allowed him to hide very deep.
Shen Buhe looked at Qin Feng and said with a pleasant smile, "Legalist Shen Heifu pays homage to the political strategist [Shengtian Banzi] Qin Feng!"
Qin Feng politely replied, "Qin Feng has seen me "Mr."
Dongfang Laoying enthusiastically took the two men's arms, "Although our group has the smallest number of people, we are the most united, and the masters are the most fierce. [Shengtian Banzi] I am Brother Feng, The perfect score is thirty, and I will get a hundred! I believe that as long as we work together, it will be easy to get a good ranking!"
Shen Bushe and Qin Feng laughed, and the three of them had their own plans.
Shen Bushe came here for a study tour. He didn’t ask for rankings. He didn’t mind whether he was ranked or not.
Dongfang Laoying is here to hug me. I have a big brother to help me fly. If I don’t fly, I won’t fly. If I’m lucky, I might be able to go to heaven!
Qin Feng secretly thought, what kind of teammates do I have? One is a real rookie with pure European luck, and the other is a talented actor who pretends to be a rookie. I am the only one who is normal. I can Drive them both?
The three of them came to the examination room with very different moods.
I have to say that Confucians know how to play.
The Confucian final examination room was set up near a warm spring. There were several stone platforms on each of the warm springs. The water vapor around the stone platforms was diffuse, like a veil of mist, blocking everyone's view.
And through the layers of mist, you can see that some contestants have climbed onto the stone platform and are ready to start the battle.
Qin Feng, Hei Fu, and Lao Ying got on their No. 9 stone platform. As soon as they got on, the stone platform automatically began to float, carrying the three of them towards the middle of the warm pool.
The stone platform is very large, at least thirty square meters, with a white marble color and a futon on top.
Although Qin Feng and the others are small in number, Dongfang Laoying is big and one person can keep up with three or five people. Therefore, this stone platform cannot be said to be empty, it can only be said to be just right.
The stone platform has arrived at the final position. In the middle of the warm pool is a white hexagonal pavilion with a curtain lingering in the pavilion. On the curtain are written the Confucian classics of various schools, which is obviously the place where Master Meng watched the ceremony.
Looking to the left and right, the people on the right haven't arrived yet. On the left, a Jinghong master wearing a Qingyun Crane Taoist robe and several people are looking towards Qin Feng.
This young Taoist priest has delicate features and a unique look. At a glance, he gives people the feeling of being a dragon or a phoenix among others. Qin Feng bowed his hand towards him, and the young Taoist priest returned the gesture.
Besides the young Taoist priest, many people whispered, "That young man is [Shengtian Banzi]? So young?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Everyone is dissatisfied Eighteen years old! Those who participate in the coming-of-age ceremony cannot take the national examination!"
"As a strategist [Shengtian Banzi], he took the initiative to salute [Taoist Master] Yujizi Taoist Master! , The Taoist priest is indeed very dignified!”
Yujizi glanced back at the liberal arts student behind him, and everyone fell silent.
Fasterly, many stone platforms were in place. Nine stone platforms surrounded the Confucius Platform. In the warm pool, the water vapor diffused, making it look like a fairyland.
At this moment, a chant came from the stage, "How wonderful it is to have friends from far away!"
A sound fell, and everyone only saw water vapor boiling around Zhou Shen, Under the water of the warm pool, golden lotus flowers rise from below!
“Qin Feng, look! It’s the Confucian awe-inspiring Golden Lotus!”
"It is said that if you cultivate Haoran's true energy to an extremely deep level, you can cultivate a breath of Haoran's true energy and condense the golden lotus of Confucianism! It is actually true!"
The golden lotus condensed with Haoran's true energy blooms. , surrounding the nine stone platforms, for a moment, the atmosphere of the entire Confucian sect's decisive battle was stretched to the extreme!
This scene was also broadcast live to every corner of Daqin through the holographic hidden camera.
At this moment, on the nine white jade platforms, the Confucian scholars stood up one after another, kowtowed to each other with their hands, and said respectfully, "Students, pay homage to Master Meng!"
On the high platform, the Master's voice was leisurely, "Sit down! ”
All the disciples said one after another, "Thank you for sitting down!"
At this moment, nine stone platforms were prepared.
On the Confucius' stage, Master Meng said, "Use the old rules to create new things. Those who are good at arguing can take the initiative to challenge, and those who are being argued can ask questions in return. Let the debate begin!"
Gaotai Zhi Above, the master struck the golden gong. The sound of the gong was clear and crisp, and the golden lotus blossoms bloomed on the surface of the water. Among the golden light and shadow, students sat respectfully on nine jade platforms.
Soon, [Famous Master Daojun] stood up on stage 3, his voice loud and clear, and he went straight to Qin Feng.
[Famous Taoist Master] talked eloquently, "I, the famous master Gongsun Shengxie, have a few questions, and I would like to ask [Shengtian Banzi], the strategist, for advice!"
Qin Feng sighed secretly after hearing this. , fancy hanging, began.
Qin Feng stood up and said, "Don't dare to ask for advice, let's learn from each other! Please ask Brother Gongsun to come up with a question!"
Gongsun Shengxie stood up and said leisurely, "[The Analects of Confucius] Chapter Twelve , Confucius said: A gentleman is like holding the soil, carrying the desire to do it; the family is like holding the water, holding the desire to help it. What does it mean? "
Qin Fengdao, "The gentleman is indifferent to his ambition, and he is eager to learn. Master teaches people that only by integrating moral principles into practical actions and realizing the unity of knowledge and action can we achieve true personality perfection and live without regrets. ”
Gongsun Shengxie asked again, "Knowing and doing are one, but if you don't know enough, do you still have to act?"
Qin Feng said, "Knowing and acting are knowing and doing. Knowing but not acting is also knowing and doing." "One."
Gongsun Shengxie asked, "What's the explanation?"
Qin Feng said calmly, "For example, you know that you are not my opponent. Logically speaking, you have to wait." It’s only right for others to take action and then come up to do the finishing touch, but you still have to jump out and challenge me first. This is a typical case of knowing but not acting. Rather than saying that you know the importance of not taking action, it’s better to say that you are more important. Know the timeliness of taking the first shot at the moment! Since the feedback of the last strike is lagging, you choose the latter to gain the reputation of being faster!” Must know! ”
"Knowing but not doing it is really ignorance!"
"The combination of knowing and doing is an inevitable rule for me and must be followed, but for you it is just a dispensable suggestion."< br>
“So, the gap between you and me has appeared.”
As soon as he said this, Gongsun Shengxie’s face changed drastically. He never expected that this strategist would be so fierce and direct. I opened the situation rudely and told myself impulsively that we are not equal opponents. If you can't beat me, get out of here! Fight me with someone who can fight! For example, [Yisheng], Han Feizi and others!
People around also noticed Qin Feng’s sharp momentum. This was a killing move that did not tolerate the opponent at all!
Gongsun Shengxie continued, "Brother, I have extraordinary knowledge. May I ask what is the relationship between knowledge and action?"
Qin Feng said calmly, "Knowledge is the beginning of action, action is the completion of knowledge, and knowledge is true and solid. That is action, and knowing clearly and carefully is the way to do it. Gongsun Shengxie said, "So, how to plant the right knowledge and abandon the wrong knowledge?"
Qin. Feng Dao, "Only by studying things can one gain knowledge."
Gongsun Shengxie Dao, "How to study things?"
Qin Feng smiled and said, "It's very simple to look at things. Just compare an object and understand its true nature! Just follow my finger and see! What is this!"
Qin Feng pointed at a blooming Golden Lotus of Haoran Zhenqi.
Gongsun Shengxie said, "The magnificent golden lotus is graceful and noble."
Qin Feng said, "When you don't look at this flower, this flower and your heart are immersed in the unknown. It doesn't matter what the flower is. It doesn’t matter what the heart is, but when you look at this flower, the appearance of this flower, its grace and splendor will suddenly become clear in your heart! Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the principles of nature and all things, and only by not pretending to be external things can you know.”
Gongsun Shengxie's face turned red at this moment. He was already a little overwhelmed by what Qin Feng said, but he was still unwilling to give up and continued to argue, "If as you said, the laws of nature exist in the human heart, then Everyone should be a saint! Why are there such criminals? ”
Qin Feng said, "That's because the conscience is deceived. The heart is pure, but the thoughts it emits are affected by desires!"
"What is a conscience?"
"Liangzhi is the clear spiritual awareness of heaven's principles! Liangzhi is heaven's principles!"
"I think conscience does not exist, and neither does heaven's principles! How can you prove that the conscience and heaven's principles you say exist? Otherwise, put Can you show your conscience and enlighten me, Gongsun Shengxie?"
"Hahaha! Okay-"
On the No. 9 jade platform, Qin Feng looked up and laughed. He flicked the Confucian scholar's uniform on his body. His upper body was naked, and the muscles in his arms were undulating like horned dragons. The muscles behind his back were faintly clotted, turning into a twisting "virtue" Character!
Qin Feng raised his left hand, moved slightly towards the famous Gongsun Shengxie, and said in a bold voice:
"Do you want to see my conscience? I am satisfied with you!"
"Since you don't understand the Master's [Analects of Confucius], then I understand a little bit of [The Analects of Confucius]!"
"Gongsun Shengxie! Get up and be beaten!"
