Evil Master and Disciple

This time, Mr. Yi asked Ye Feng to stay and talk alone. Poetry and prose were secondary to him. Instead, he was very interested in the Confucian magical powers that Ye Feng displayed in the Yunhai Sect's inner sect test.

After tens of thousands of years of suppression by several dynasties, the Confucian lineage of cultivation has almost declined.

The ancients said that the emperor and the literati shared the world.

The literati are the scholars.

Scholars help emperors govern the world, and conversely, emperors gather the fortune of the dynasty for scholars.

Let me ask you, which emperor would be willing to hand over the fortune of his dynasty to a group of scholars?

That's why there were several campaigns to exterminate Confucianism.

Now that the Confucian lineage of self-cultivation has declined, don’t those scholars still have to work hard for the emperor and govern the world for him?

Of the Confucian magical powers that have been passed down, only one out of a hundred remains.

Ye Feng, this young boy, has no famous teacher to guide him. He is so young that even if he started reading at the age of three and read for eight hours every day, he has not read many books so far.

However, it can activate Confucian magic.

Confucianism is very special. It is different from Taoism, Buddhism, magic, witchcraft, and ghost Taoism...

Confucian magic must be based on righteousness and good fortune.

The fact that Ye Feng can activate Confucian magic shows that he has condensed a very powerful righteous spirit.

This made Mr. Yi very strange.

Mr. Yi said, "Mr. Ye, I heard that you have a Confucian magic weapon, which looks like a brush."

Ye Feng's heart moved, thinking that this old man might want to see his brush?

This old man possesses a very strong sense of righteousness and the power of destiny. He is definitely not like those useless scholars downstairs.

Those scholars certainly cannot see the mystery of the magic pen that can determine the mountains and rivers.

Mr. Yi is not sure about this.

Ye Feng picked up the teacup, as if to conceal his expression, and took a sip. He said, "Old Master, you're right. I did get a brush. I heard it's a Confucian instrument. I specialize in Taoist mystical sects and swordsmanship, so I'm not really interested in Confucian instruments or Confucian cultivation. I just treat it as a little bit of fun in my boring cultivation life."

Mr. Yi had no intention of looking at the magic pen on Ye Feng.

He said sternly, "Mr. Ye, you are wrong. The Confucian lineage of cultivation was once no weaker than Taoism and Buddhism, and was even the foremost of all schools of thought. It just declined later due to some reasons.

As a righteous cultivator, Master Ye should base his life on chivalry and benefit the common people. However, practicing Taoism can easily breed inner demons, and the righteous spirit of Confucianism can keep Master Ye's heart pure and free from the contamination of inner demons and other hidden evil spirits.

So, Master Ye, if you have time, you should study Confucianism more. It will be of great benefit to your future cultivation."

Through Mr. Yi's words, Ye Feng knew that Confucianism was indeed different from other sects.

The most taboo thing for a sect of cultivation is to steal the true methods of other sects.

If I had not practiced Confucianism, but the skills and magical powers of Buddhism or the Demonic Sect, I would have been found by the other party and asked the master to give them an explanation long ago.

Confucianism's approach to this matter is completely different from other sects of cultivation.

Not only do they not care if you secretly learn Confucian magic, but they strongly encourage you to learn it.

"No wonder Master and the others didn't take me seriously when I activated the Confucian magical powers during the fight. Confucianism is so generous..."

Ye Feng secretly admired him in his heart, thinking that since there was no taboo in performing Confucian magic, he could use the magic pen and inkstone openly in the future.

Confucian magic has many unique features.

Especially the fact that what you say comes true, it is so convenient.

Ye Feng said, "What the old gentleman said is very true. I will keep it in mind. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will diligently practice Confucianism."

Mr. Yi was overjoyed and said, "My Confucian lineage has a genius like Mr. Ye. It seems that there is hope for revival."

Ye Feng was speechless when he heard this.

When did I become a disciple of Confucianism?

What does it have to do with you whether Confucianism is revived or not?

Of course, I can only complain about this in my heart.

He also wanted to learn some secrets about Confucian cultivation from this old man Yi.

There is not a trace of righteousness in him.

To activate Confucian magic, one must rely entirely on the righteous energy and the good fortune of all living beings contained in the magic pen and the magic inkstone.

However, the magic pen and the magic inkstone are like two large power banks and batteries. These two Confucian instruments cannot absorb and replenish the lost electricity by themselves, and they need to be charged from time to time.

Now Ye Feng only knows that the luck of all living beings can be deprived and transferred.

The power of the destiny of all living beings is the electrical energy required by these two Confucian magic tools.

Ye Feng went to the capital this time not just to meet the old time traveler.

He was also thinking about something else in his mind.

That's where the magic pen and inkstone are charged.

However, he himself did not know how to deprive the luck, how to transfer the luck, and where the luck of the current royal family was hidden.

He felt that Mr. Yi, who possessed such a profound sense of righteousness, must know these secrets.

So, Ye Feng said: "Old sir, I have gained some insights in my Confucian and Taoist practice recently, but I am mostly confused.

"Haoran Zhengqi is completely different from our Taoist Xuanmen Ziwei Zhenqi. I also learned in the book that the Confucian monks' desire to achieve Mahayana seems to be related to the power of incense and faith of all living beings. I have never understood what incense and faith of all living beings are. I hope you can enlighten me, old sir."

Mr. Yi pinched his beard and smiled, "It seems that your attainments in Confucianism are even more profound than I expected.

Since you and I meet here, it is fate. I will do my best to answer your questions and perhaps help you achieve the path of Confucianism sooner.

We, the Confucian lineage, do not cultivate the Dantian, the Zhenyuan, or the Yuanying. What we cultivate is the heart.

The foundation of Confucian magic is the spiritual power from the three souls and seven spirits.

The so-called righteousness is a breath that comes from your heart.

The more upright your heart is, the more powerful your noble spirit will be.

On the contrary, if a person is vicious and calculating, no matter how many books he reads or how much knowledge he understands, it will be difficult for him to gather righteousness in his heart.

One word, "positive", explains it all.

The word "正" does not necessarily mean being upright, but rather having a clear conscience.

Even if you kill someone, as long as you do it with a clear conscience, it will still be a just thing for you.

The energy that scholars cultivate through their own study and learning is called righteousness, while the energy that comes from outside is the destiny of all living beings. In fact, the two have the same origin.

If a Confucian monk wants to achieve Mahayana, the little bit of righteousness he has cultivated is not enough to sustain it, and he needs the blessing of the luck of all living beings."

"What a great resource! This old man is truly capable. My trip wasn't in vain! And my copying of Old Master Fan's "Yueyang Tower Inscription" wasn't in vain either."

Ye Feng was secretly happy.

Then he asked, "Old sir, what exactly is this life's destiny? And how do we absorb it?"
