C1354 Four Books and Five Scriptures
These disciples of the Confucian Sect were really sincere in their pursuit of the Confucianism Dao. However, from the looks of it now, Chu Tian felt that the Confucian Sect was more like a place where believers gathered.
"Our Confucian Sect didn't prepare a place for all the disciples to stay, so we need the three of you to think of a way to stay." A man said to Chu Tian without giving him an explanation.
Chu Tian could feel the righteous energy coming from the man's body. Under the guidance of the man, Chu Tian and the others took a look at the private school. Along the way, they could see disciples who were immersed in poetry.
"If you want to study the Confucianism Dao, do you have to read poetry like this?" Chu Tian asked curiously.
"Reading four books and five scriptures is just a necessary process. This way, you can understand the meaning of the Confucian Sect. As long as the three of you put your heart into it, you will naturally understand the essence of the Confucianism Dao." The man smiled and said to Chu Tian.
"Thank you very much." Chu Tian said.
The man nodded and left, even though there were three strangers like Chu Tian. To the disciples of Confucian Sect, this was just a normal thing. Along the way, they could see many people expressing goodwill towards them.
"It's too depressing to be here." Kong Ling pouted and said.
Everyone in Confucian Sect seemed to be immersed in the Confucianism Dao and did not care about anything else. Kong Ling could not accept such an atmosphere.
"Although that's the case, it's a shame that Sage Kong was able to teach all the disciples of the Confucian Sect to such an extent. They are really enthusiastic about the Confucianism Dao." Chu Tian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"I'm afraid that Chu Lang isn't the time to be sentimental about these things. Do you have any plans? In just a mere two months' time, the Curse Power in your body has already spread to such an extent. There isn't much time left." Chu Yunxue couldn't help but speak worriedly after hearing Chu Tian's words.
"If you want to understand the Confucianism Dao, just like what that person said just now, let's go and take a look at the four books and five scriptures." Chu Tian said.
"Master, do you really believe what they said? Can I comprehend the Confucianism Dao just by reading four books and five scriptures over and over again? How can there be such a simple thing in this world? I think this is just Sage Kong deceiving the world with his flowery words." Kong Ling said with disdain.
But just as she spoke, Kong Ling suddenly covered her head. Then she squatted on the ground with a painful face. It seemed that this space once again rejected Kong Ling. It was only because of the disgrace to the Confucianism Dao that it became like this.
Fortunately, this kind of pain disappeared very quickly. Kong Ling finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Truly unreasonable." Kong Ling looked up at the sky with a bitter face and said.
"Alright, you should speak less. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will suffer a backlash. Since this is the territory of Confucian Sect, we will just follow the rules of Confucian Sect." Chu Tian said.
After that, Chu Tian and the others changed into the clothes of the Confucian Sect. After that, they obtained the four books and five scriptures. Kong Ling was not interested in the four books and five scriptures, so she directly burned them.
As for Chu Yunxue, it was likely that she also wanted to find a place to help Chu Tian. She was seriously looking at the four books and five scriptures in her hands. Chu Tian merely swept his gaze over them before he had already memorized all the contents of the four books and five scriptures.
However, Chu Tian did not feel any problem from it. Even though he had read the four books and five scriptures, he was still unable to sense any cultivation method within the four books and five scriptures.
This was just an ordinary poem. It was even more impossible to comprehend the Confucianism Dao from this. This made Chu Tian frown.
After that, he glanced at the disciples of Confucian Sect who were reading the four books and five scriptures. A bright light shone from his eyes.
"The Dao is governed by the government, the Qi is punished, and the people are exempted from being shameless. The Dao is virtuous, the Qi is courteous, and the shame doesn't exist! "
Chu Tian began to recite the four books and five scriptures. His voice was loud and clear, and he began to recite them bit by bit. Kong Ling and Chu Yunxue both looked at Chu Tian, wanting to know if the latter had discovered anything.
However, during this process, Chu Tian gradually found something strange. It was the righteousness of the heavens and the earth.
In Yanjing City, the Nature Energy filled the entire space. Chu Tian and the others were constantly enveloped by the Righteous Qi, but they didn't care about what method Chu Tian used before. They can't even make these righteous spirits work for themselves.
However, during this reciting process, Chu Tian was surprised to find that... The Boundless Vital Energy in the world had changed. It was as if the Boundless Vital Energy was a living being that was close to him. Just because he was reciting the four books and five scriptures, there was such a change.
This was the reason why Chu Tian was suddenly enlightened. The man just now had said that as long as he kept reading the four books and five scriptures, he would definitely understand the Confucianism Dao.
In fact, the reason was that during the process of reading, the Nature Energy would enter their bodies, allowing them to contain the Nature Energy. This was the so-called truth of the Confucianism Dao.
Chu Yunxue and Kong Ling, who had sensed the changes in Chu Tian's body, also understood what Chu Tian meant. The two of them also began to attempt to recite the four books and five scriptures. Very soon, they also had the same feeling as Chu Tian.
"Chu Lang is really amazing. Why did the Nature Energy gather here because of our recitation? If we are cultivators, then those ordinary people can easily do this. Is this the so-called Confucianism Dao of Confucian Sect? " Chu Yunxue asked in surprise.
"Although I don't know how this Nature Energy was created, but it seems like it is just like what the Confucian Sect said, studying four books and five scriptures can help one master the Nature Energy." Chu Tian said.
"If that's the case, Chu Lang, won't you be able to solve the curse on your body just like that?" Chu Yunxue said in surprise.
"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Chu Tian frowned. "Although the power of the four books and five scriptures can mobilize the righteous energy, it should be impossible to deal with such a powerful curse. We need to mobilize more Vital Energy. " Chu Tian said.
After that, Chu Tian closed his eyes and continued to recite the four scriptures and five scriptures. His speed of speech gradually increased as he recited the four scriptures and the five scriptures. Chu Tian wanted to see if the gathering speed of the Righteous Qi could be faster.
The result of the truth also proved that his guess was to fight for it. The gathering speed of the Righteous Qi was indeed faster than before, but it was still far from enough.
However, Chu Tian had already increased the speed of his speech to the fastest. After that, he started to think about the Four Books and Five Classics. Such a long period of four books and five scriptures, if a normal person wanted to finish reading them, it would take a day.
Chu Tian was deeply puzzled about whether he really needed to read all the Four Books and Five Classics at such a long time.
After he realized that Lang could use the Righteous Qi of Nature to read these four books and five scriptures, Chu Tian also thought about the reason behind it. After that, he thought of a possibility.
It was that the so-called four books and five scriptures hid some key words. By relying on these words, the Righteous Qi was attracted.
It was not so easy to find these words. If one did not fight for it, then... This attracted the 'Righteous Qi' would fail. All the words' Four Books and Five Classics' emerged in Chu Tian's mind. After that, he began to filter out the words.
And during this process, Chu Tian recited the Four Books and Five Classics over and over again, to verify whether this guess was correct.
Kong Ling and Chu Yunxue just quietly watched Chu Tian recite the four books and five scriptures day by day. Then they also discovered that the process of Chu Tian reciting also changed.
The content of the four books and five scriptures was shrinking bit by bit, because Chu Tian was filtering out the important words. He was no longer restricted to the form of a private school and was instead searching for the meaning of the four books and five scriptures.
Day and night were constantly alternating. Chu Tian just sat there quietly for ten days. This way, he recited the four books and five scriptures without eating or drinking. This also attracted the attention of some Confucian Sect disciples.
Some people expressed their admiration for Chu Tian's devotion to the Confucianism Dao. They were even more modest towards Chu Yunxue and Kong Ling.
However, both of their attention was now on Chu Tian. Although Chu Tian was shortening the time of reading the four scriptures and five scriptures, as time passed, the curse on his body had become more and more obvious.
Even those with discerning eyes could sense that something was wrong with Chu Tian's body. This also proved that the Curse Power had reached a point that couldn't be ignored. If this continued, Chu Tian wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.
