The autumn wind is bleak, the temperature drops sharply, and winter is about to begin. But at this moment, Su Lin, wearing a blue shirt and thin clothes, sat in front of the desk, with the doors and windows not closed, and the cold wind blowing but he is completely unaware of it.

"I... I actually traveled through time."

His eyes were a little dull, and Su Lin still couldn't accept the facts now. A moment ago, he was just an ordinary senior high school student, complaining about the "Analects of Confucius" that must be memorized in the college entrance examination in Chinese class. But now, in a blink of an eye, he is no longer him, but another person.

Now, he, also known as Su Lin, is from Fengle County, Wuguo, Tianren Continent. He is fifteen years old this year. His parents both died, but he has a vicious stepmother of the daughter of a businessman.

"There is such a world in the world. Confucius is the supreme saint. The Analects of Confucius is the "Sacred Book" of the Tianren Continent. There are nine countries in the Tianren Continent, but they all pursue Confucianism and Taoism and practice imperial examinations to select scholars... This... is simply a world of Confucianism and Taoism..."

After trying hard to digest the memories in his mind, Su Lin took a breath. He never expected that he would be scolded as a useless test-oriented textbook "The Analects of Confucius" that had such a high status in the Tianren Continent.

"This must be a punishment from God, or a huge joke for me. I called the Analects of Confucius useful, saying that Confucianism poisoned people's thoughts, and then God sent me to such a Confucian world where everyone respects Confucianism and practices Confucianism, regards Confucius as a saint, and governs the country with Confucianism and Taoism. But I am still a Confucian scholar who desperately studies Confucian classics..."

After fully understanding the world I am in now, Su Lin could only smile bitterly, "In my previous life, I had only one subject in Chinese, and the "Analects of Confucius" was the middle school entrance examination. But now, if I want to make a name for myself and want to live well in this world, I must learn Confucian classics as high as a mountain, and I must be able to write poetry and lyrics."

In the Tianren Continent, Confucius became saints with Confucianism and benevolence, and had no distinction between religions, and helped all sages to become sub-saints or semi-saints. Then, he combined the power of all sages and built a Great Wall with his thoughts as bricks and stones, circled the entire human race's activity area, completely blocking the invasion of monsters and the barbarians and Rongdi clans. At the same time, the sages and sages created a temple and established ten literary positions. All countries used imperial examinations to select scholars, and completely consolidated such a Confucian and Taoist world.

"It turns out that in this Confucian and Taoist world, thought is the most powerful weapon. Confucian scholars no longer have the power to tie up a chicken. As long as scholars have gained wisdom, they can absorb the holy power from the Great Wall built by the saints, and use words, poems, lyrics, and even articles as carriers of thought to activate the Yuanli of Heaven and Earth to transform into Yuanli to kill the enemy."

When Su Lin thought that poetry could be transformed into real objects and power, he felt excited and rippled in his heart. Although the history of Tianren Continent was similar to that of ancient China, it was split into nine countries after the Han Dynasty. The history and characters after the Han Dynasty were no different from ancient China.

There are not even a single literary master and historical celebrity in history after the Han Dynasty. This means that if the poems, songs and essays that can be passed down through the ages in Su Lin's mind appear in this Confucian and Taoist world, what a huge wave would arise!

However, when Su Lin thought that he was fifteen years old and still had no wisdom, his heart suddenly became cold.

Enlightenment is a process that every scholar in the Tianren continent must go through, or to be precise, if he has not achieved enlightenment, he is not considered a true Confucian scholar. The so-called enlightenment is to use a word containing thoughts to open up wisdom. This sentence can be the words of the saint Confucius, or it can be a sub-saint or a semi-bible classic. Another point is the meaning of the great Confucian scholars, the interpretation of the saint classics by Hanlin and the Grand Secretary.

There is no doubt that the higher the level of Kaizhi's words, the higher the level of literary achievement in the future. Using the words of a saint to enlighten wisdom, even if it is the lowest semi-saint's words, the first saint power absorbed after Kaizhi is extraordinary, with the momentum of fighting bulls. Whenever such a genius is born, it is a great blessing for a country. Because this means that another Confucian scholar who is expected to become at least at the level of a great Confucian scholar has been born.

However, there are too few such geniuses. There are hundreds of millions of people in the nine countries and tens of millions of Confucian scholars. It is estimated that only one genius who uses the saint's words to enlighten his wisdom is born every hundred years. Moreover, these are almost all just using the words of semi-saints to enlighten his wisdom, and in the end they are all great scholars or above. As for those who use the words of sub-saints to enlighten his wisdom, they almost all become semi-saints.

For thousands of years, it seems that only Mencius and Confucius' grandson Si were the only ones who could use the words of Confucius to gain wisdom. Because the words of Confucius' sage are too obscure and profound, they often have a deeper meaning under one sentence and one meaning. Moreover, many of the words of Confucius' sage have many explanations. Even if you have a Jinshi, you cannot know everything about the great masters. How can a child in a teenager know the wishes and use them to open up wisdom?

Of course, the words of enlightenment are not absolutely hindering the future development potential. Among the nine kingdoms, there were also people who used the words "Masters' interpretation of the classics of saints" to enlightenment, and finally achieved the semi-saint's literary status.

"Hey! Let's not talk about the remarks of Jinshi and Grand Secretary. Even if it is a poem about a juren, Su Lin could not enlighten his wisdom before. Other children were usually six or seven years old. After they were chanting "Thousand Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names", they could enlighten his wisdom one after another. At the latest, they could enlighten his wisdom at the age of twelve or thirteen. But Su Lin... was so stupid that even the almost vernacular poem of the scholar Juren could not enlighten him... How could I travel to such a useless person?"

Unable to feel the legendary holy power on his body, combined with his memory, Su Lin knew that his fifteen-year-old body had not yet been enlightened.

Without enlightenment and without holy power, even if you cannot be a true Confucian scholar, you will not be qualified to take the imperial examination. Su Lin even remembered that if he had not yet enlightenment and became a Confucian scholar at the age of sixteen, even the identity of the gentry would be taken away by Su Wen, the son of the black and vicious stepmother.

"No! I must be smart. Even if I use the words of scholars, I must be smart before I become an adult next year."

If the status of the gentry is gone, Su Lin will become a commoner, and it will be impossible to go to a free school for the country to provide for the children of the gentry. The status of the gentry is a symbol of the status given to Confucian scholars who are in a literary position. A scholar's literary position is granted to a gentry status, and a juren can be a doctor, and a Jinshi is a noble, and as for the above Jinshi, they are all Dukes and marquis.

The gentry identities can be inherited, but they can only be passed on to the eldest son of the legitimate son. Su Lin's father Su Jingtian was fortunate to pass the position of scholar at the age of 30 and obtained the status of a gentry. Su Jingtian died accidentally, and the gentry identities were naturally inherited by Su Lin, the eldest son of the legitimate son. However, if Su Lin had not been able to become a Confucian scholar at the age of sixteen, according to the laws of the Wu Kingdom, this gentry identities could be inherited by Su Wen, the son of his stepmother, Su Liu.

"The status of aristocratic clan is a hereditary reward for the country's literary scholars. Not only can you go to the aristocratic school for free, but you can also receive a salary of one or two silver-shaped silver from the county government every month. Now, under the forced and abuse of Su Liu, I have already had a hard life. If I no longer have the status of aristocratic clan after I become an adult, I may starve to death on the streets..."

The more Su Lin thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was sweating profusely. Although his family background was just ordinary in his previous life, he never had enough food and clothing. But now, in this strange world of Confucianism and Taoism, his parents were all dead, and there was a black and vicious stepmother and her child who were forced to fight against him. If he had no identity as a gentry, Su Lin wouldn't know how to survive?

Just as she was thinking about this, Su Lin heard a woman's cold snorkeling at the door: "Su Lin, this is your meal today."

Su Lin turned around and saw that it was Su Liu, a stepmother, wearing a big red silk dress and gold and silver, but she had a bad face. She held a bowl of porridge in her hand and stepped forward a few steps, threw it on Su Lin's desk. The porridge water splashed out. Seeing the books that were opened on Su Lin's desk, she sneered and said, "Little bastard, don't waste your energy anymore. Even if you see death, you will never be able to be wise. The identity of the Su family's gentry must be from my son Su Wen."

"Bold Su Liu! Even if I can't be enlightened, I am still a gentry now. How dare you, a commoner, be so rude to me?"

As soon as he saw this black-hearted woman, the scene where Su Lin was bullied by her immediately felt the empathy. Su Lin was so angry that he stood up. For some reason, the words in the mourning clothes chapter of "The Book of Rites" immediately appeared in his mind about the three obediences and four virtues of a woman. He pointed at Su Liu and cursed:

"The Book of Rites says: 'Women have three meanings of following, and there is no special way. Therefore, if they do not marry a father, they will follow their husbands, and their husbands will follow their sons after they die.' Now my father dies early, and I am the eldest son of the Su family. I inherit the status of a gentry and are the real head of the family. You are a mere woman who is restless and obeys my family's family, but you repeatedly bully me and abuse me. You are not afraid that I will sue the county magistrate, throw you into prison, and then parade in the streets to let everyone in the county know your name as a vicious woman!"

After Su Lin finished speaking, he picked up the bowl of porridge and smashed it at Su Liu's feet. The porcelain bowl collapsed and cracked. The porridge water splashed Su Liu's big red silk skirt, which made Su Liu's shocked and stepped back to the wall, looking at Su Lin in front of him with horror.
