Chapter 5250

The other four also showed sympathy.

They felt the same way. If they had gone through untold hardships and finally came up from below, they didn't even see the saint. If this kind of thing happened to them, they would not be able to accept it.

Lu Yu's gaze passed through these students and came to the courtyard.

"Student Lu Yu, ask to see Sheng Xun!"

A clear and clear voice suddenly sounded, shaking the willow above, and Feiyan was startled.

The five students were about to leave, but when they heard these words, they all looked shocked, and turned their heads suddenly to look at Lu Yu.

"come in."

From the courtyard, Xun Sheng's calm voice came.

Lu Yu walked in with his feet raised, and saw that the interior of the courtyard was rather simple, with bundles of straw piled on the wall, covered with layers of snow.

Wen Sheng Xun Kuang was a thin old man with a resolute face. He is already old, but his eyes are bright and bright, as if there are thousands of stars, and they are dazzling.

"Your Majesty is here in the humble house, but let the old man flourish here." Xun Kuang spoke first, breaking the deadlock.

Lu Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I'm here to see you today as a student. In front of senior, students don't dare to pretend to be respectful."

Looking at the generous old man in front of him, Lu Yu was not only filled with emotion.

There are three sages of Wen and Taoism who survived from the Middle Ages, namely Zhu Yuanhui, a sage of Confucianism, Wang Boan, a sage of mind, and Xun Kuang, a sage of Confucianism.

Zhu Yuanhui fell first, and Wang Boan passed away after teaching the three saints, Yihan, Daoyi, and Zhang Hong. Only this Xun Kuang is still alive.

This is a living fossil-level powerhouse. His wisdom and strength have long been unfathomable, reaching the level of being pedantic. Not to mention Lu Yu's previous life, even the first Taigan Emperor Zhao Tianyin, or even the Great Ancestor Emperor of Dayu, should respect Xun Kuang as a senior!

Xun Kuang waved his hand and motioned for Lu Yu to sit down.

"Let's talk about your article first, Jian'an can't help it anymore, he sent a voice transmission to the old man." Xun Kuang smiled lightly, nodding slightly when he looked at Lu Yu, quite satisfied.

When Lu Yu came here, he did not put on the air of the emperor, but came in according to the rules he set. Before that, Xun Kuang had heard a lot about Lu Yu's deeds. He became famous at a young age, ranking in the ninth and fifth place, and there would always be some youthful spirit. But the first time they met, Lu Yu's impression was that of a calm, low-key, shrewd young man, neither impetuous nor arrogant, which made Xun Kuang quite satisfied.

Jian'an is talking about the great Confucian guarding the door.

Lu Yu had already made preparations and said:

"Confucian sage Confucius said that if the world is to be fully governed, it must be self-restrained and restored to rituals. This ritual refers to the rituals of Zhou. In his opinion, apart from morality, the rectification power of the secular system is not enough. Said: 'The way is virtuous, and it is regulated by propriety. It is shameful and tactful.' As long as people follow the right way, the people will follow the orders, and the followers are like clouds."

Xun Sheng nodded approvingly: "Yes, you continue to speak."

"Later, Wensheng Mengke, the successor of the Confucian sect, presided over the exercise of benevolent government, and the key was essentially consistent with self-restraint and restoration of rituals. First let the Teng Dynasty restore the three-year mourning, and then let the Teng Dynasty restore the well-field system, everything is a dynasty Moving forward in the direction of restoring ancient rituals.”

"When the Teng Dynasty was about to perish, the emperor asked Meng Sheng for help. Meng Sheng said that if a benevolent government was implemented, all the people would follow, but he still did not propose a detailed strategy. Although Meng Sheng had a mighty 30,000-li-long river, he could not stop the Teng Dynasty. When it is destroyed, one can only watch it die in vain. Zhu Sheng once said: 'What Mencius said, from a secular perspective, it can be said to be useless.' Blindly asking for retro, some only pursue the tragic and solemn morality, but it is of no benefit to the world. ."

Lu Yu's eyes shone brightly: "The turmoil in the Middle Ages proves that self-restraint and restoration of rituals are meaningless. If you want to carry on in today's world, there is only new rituals!"

"Oh? In your opinion, what is a new ceremony?" Xun Sheng asked.

"The Master said: 'If the punishment is not met, the people will be at a loss.' Even those sages in the Middle Ages who pursued ancient rituals would not deny the importance of punishment. Ritual requires punishment and morality, and at the same time restrains all living beings. Morality On the one hand, punishment is the minimum requirement of morality. In ancient times, the things that Lu did not pick up were just legends. From the Middle Ages, there were heroes from all over the world. If a powerful monk does not have a stronger person to restrain him, then he will Running rampant, killing at will without anyone sanctioning him. This kind of thing, just using morality will not work at all. In my opinion, all etiquette should match reality and seek truth from practice. "

Lu Yu looked at Xun Sheng with bright eyes: "Simply summed up, it's just four words—"

"Seek truth from facts!"

As if the voice of heaven appeared, the visions in the four directions suddenly rose.

At this moment, it is the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, but the trees are shady and the flowers are in full bloom!

Countless cultivators of Jimen star ran out of the house, looking at the surprising scene in the four directions, with a look of horror on their faces.
