Chapter 1423: The Holy Road meets Confucius!
The path of the Most Holy Circle is like a jade dragon surrounding the entire temple of All Saints, connecting to the sky.
After persuading Sun Wu, Qin Feng went up nearly a hundred steps, and it was unobstructed. When he came to his senses and looked down...
The Holy Academy of Daze is only the size of a matchbox, and is almost invisible under the layers of clouds and mist.
"Why haven't I met the fifth Trialer on the Holy Road so far?"
Qin Feng couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
There was no need for Zou Chunqiu to lie to him. As he said, the one who was on the road to the most saint should be the God-selected Confucian and the powerful Confucian and Taoist dynasties of all dynasties.
Zou Chunqiu, Mo Di is definitely not a god-selected Confucian saint, Xunzi is, and Sun Wu should not...
If there is only one god who chooses Confucianism, it would be a little strange.
However, at this moment, a senior man in the Confucian uniform had a floating white beard, nine feet tall, his hands were over his knees, and his head was protruding, like a longevity peach.
Seeing this iconic appearance, Qin Feng suddenly realized something.
Qin Feng walked closer and saw that the man still had a ruler in his hand.
The writing on the ruler is exactly what "there is teaching but no distinction".
"It's actually... it's Confucius Sheng!"
"What should I do? Do I really have to debate with Confucius?"
Even though Qin Feng has the experience and background of reincarnation in three generations, he has to face the role model of the masters of all ages and the eternal saint Confucius...
Qin Feng still felt a little unconfident in his heart.
What's more, the two treasures that Confucius left in the Middle Earth, the book "Spring and Autumn" and the ring ruler, were eventually destroyed by Fang Yun because of Qin Feng's "no help" situation.
If this is considered a grudge, Confucius would probably never be able to let him pass through it safely.
"The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to cover the earth. At this time, he retreats timidly and has no way out..."
Qin Feng looked at Confucius, who was not towering in front of him, but his aura was as faint as Mount Tai, blocking the path to becoming a saint...
Taking a deep breath of the cold cold air in the sky, Qin Feng wanted to calm his mind more, then he slowly stepped forward and bowed from afar.
"Disciple Qin Feng, pay homage to Confucius!"
The wind in the sky passed through the middle of Kong Sheng and Qin Feng, making a "whim" roar.
Facing Qin Feng's salute, Kong Sheng just nodded slightly.
Just when Qin Feng was a little nervous and didn't know how Confucius wanted to "test" himself...
"How can you repay kindness with kindness..."
"Repay grievances with righteousness and kindness..."
What Kong Sheng blurted out was Qin Feng’s famous quote in "The Great Revenge".
Although these two sentences were said by Confucius and written by his disciples, he seemed to have a different meaning when he said it himself.
After all, different people say the same thing on different occasions, praise or criticize the same meanings.
At this moment, on the road to the supreme saint, Confucius mentioned Qin Feng’s most famous view in “The Great Revenge”, and whether it was certain or negative to Qin Feng…
For a moment, Qin Feng himself had no clue and no answer.
Even Confucius' voice does not have a slight tendency, and it is simply elusive.
Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "This is the part excerpted by the student from Confucius's articles. Please give me some advice."
This powerful man, admired by billions of Confucian scholars, slowly spoke: "Do you firmly believe that this is correct?"
Qin Feng never expected that Kong Sheng would ask such a question. He was stunned at first, and then answered without hesitation.
"Students not only believe that this is true, but also practice it in practice..."
Facing Qin Feng's answer, Kong Sheng said slowly: "Do you know the truth that 'A benevolent loves others, and do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you'?"
Qin Feng was slightly stunned when he heard Kong Sheng refuting him.
Everything is always the one who is in the authorities is confused and watching the Qing Dynasty. Confucius can be said to have pointed out the disadvantages of Qin Feng's "Theory of Great Revenge".
Confucianism talks about revenge, and martial arts talks about revenge.
The Wu family "for tooth and for eyes," while the Confucianism says "repay evil with righteousness and for virtue."
So what is the essential difference?
As Qin Feng said, "repay grudges with directness", what do you treat me, what do I treat you too...
So what is different from what the Wu family did?
Facing Qin Feng's somewhat surprised gaze, Kong Sheng, who should have taken advantage of the victory to directly smash Qin Feng's "Theory of Great Revenge", showed a kind smile and said slowly.
"The core of my Confucianism is ultimately 'benevolence'..."
"Whether it is the 'benevolent' or 'benevolent government', whether it is the way of practicing the world, or the way of being a sage inside and king outside, the starting point and end point lies in the word 'benevolent'."
"It is precisely because Confucians have 'benevolence' that they treat others well, want the king to treat the people well, and want to live and work in the world. This is 'benevolence', and it is also the 'righteousness' that all Confucian scholars are willing to sacrifice their lives for this!"
Confucius's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder rolling in Qin Feng's ears, and it was like a burst of enlightenment, pointing out his flaws and shortcomings.
Confucius spoke incessantly and said incisively: "This is the reason why Confucians are willing to give up on themselves for these things. This is what Confucians say, "A man has no birth to harm benevolence, and he has the ability to kill himself to achieve benevolence."
"Since you don't want the other party to treat you with 'straight', why should you treat that person with 'straight'?"
Qin Feng carefully savored what Confucius said on the Road to the Supreme Saint, and it has to be said that Qin Feng's own thoughts, especially the "Great Revenge", were almost subversive.
"Kong Sheng himself said that he should repay his grievances with steadfast..."
"Sage Confucius said again, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you..."
"It means that you don't want to do things, and don't ask others to do it..."
Qin Feng was in a fight in his heart at this time, his brows frowned slightly.
It makes sense to separate the two.
But the core idea of Confucianism is "benevolence". Then "do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you" should be higher than "repaying grievances with straightforwardness and repaying virtue with kindness", and should be more of the behavioral preparation of Confucians...
Then isn't this a contradiction?
Qin Feng was unable to use the magical text "wisdom" technique at this time. Faced with the difficulties raised by Confucius, it was difficult to break the deadlock.
Confucius seemed to know that his words would have a great impact on Qin Feng, but he didn't say a word and waited for Qin Feng to speak.
Even a strict teacher is testing his disciple's understanding.
The precious time is lost every minute.
Qin Feng frowned tightly, as if he was at a loss.
Confucius seemed to have gradually exhausted his patience, shook his head and said regretfully.
"If you are not angry, you will not be enlightened, if you are not frustrated, you will not be expressed..."
"If you take one corner and don't turn back on three corners, you will never get back..."
He looked at Qin Feng and slowly spoke, "Your way of using it in the world is beautiful, but he did not understand that the essence of Confucianism and Taoism lies in 'benevolence'..."
"The final result is likely to change from 'Confucianism as the body and hundreds of schools for use' to 'Hundred Schools for the body and hundreds of schools for use', and Confucianism and Taoism are lost in the hundreds of schools..."
"You become a snob and miscellaneous family who cares about 'useful'."
Confucius said regretfully: "You can't..."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a sudden light of wisdom appeared in his eyes.
"Sage Kong, please listen to my explanation of these two sentences..."
