All Heavens: Get the Nine Swords at the start

Chapter 111 Zhu Xianli, Kill Xianmang.

"It is dark but not clear, gloomy but not radiant, people in the world do what they want, and take themselves as their own way. This is the way of the inner sage and the outer king!"

The words of Fu Nian fell.

The objects formed by the gentleman's six arts gradually merged with the figures in the sky.

Originally, the blurred figure with no long body, with the introduction of the six arts, the image gradually became "full".

Etiquette Confucian gowns, enjoy Confucian crowns, shoot swords...

A Confucian scholar wearing a Confucian robe, a Confucian crown on his head, a sword hanging from his waist, and a book in his hand, standing on a chariot and looking into the distance, appeared in front of everyone.

This is also what a qualified Confucian student should look like in the pre-Qin Confucian imagination.

"Sect Master Fu Nian's swordsmanship of the Holy King is really extraordinary, but the inner sage and the outer king belong to my Taoist school after all." Li Ming said slowly.

Li Ming's words are not wrong. Everyone in the world thinks that inner sage and outer king are Confucian concepts, but who knows that inner sage and outer king are the concepts first proposed by the Taoist patriarch Zhuangzi.

Pre-Qin·Zhuang Zhou's "Zhuangzi·天下": "That's why the way of the inner sage and the outer king is dark but not clear, gloomy but not forthcoming, and people in the world each do what they want and take their own way."

"Uncle Master's words are wrong. Confucianism has always treated people with courtesy. In fact, Confucianism and Taoism can be said to lead to the same goal through different routes." Fu Nian said.

"What a good person treats people with courtesy and leads to the same goal. He is worthy of being the head of Confucianism. His ability to fight with tongues is really extraordinary. Just look at my courtesy and reciprocity!"

Li Ming laughed loudly, pointing at the Beiming sword, and the fallen leaves that had been scattered all over gathered again, turning back into the picture scroll just now.

"Humanly!"

I saw that the vegetation and birds on the scroll disappeared, only the mountains and rivers remained.

"Earth follows heaven!"

The mountains and rivers returned to chaos, and the whole scroll began to rotate.

"Heaven's way!"

The rotation stopped, the leaves fell, and the lake water became clear again, turning into a yin and yang Taiji diagram, suspended on the lake surface.

"The way is natural!"

The yin-yang and Tai Chi diagrams began to rotate, changing into the initial state of nothingness, and the "Confucian scholars" who were meditating on the side were also included in it at some point.

Even though Fu Nian tried his best to maintain it, the "Confucian scholars" were still turned into lake water and integrated into the Taiji diagram controlled by Li Ming.

Seeing this, Fu Nian knew that he had been defeated, and was about to speak, but heard Li Ming's voice came again.

"North Ming divides yin and yang!"

The swirling lake began to change, and a sword slowly took shape, which was the Beiming sword in Li Ming's hand.

"Zhu Xianli."

"Killing Immortal Mang."

"The trapping immortal glows red everywhere."

"Absolute Immortal's changes are endless."

Again, the water gushed out from all directions and turned into four sharp swords, one in each of the southeast, northwest and four directions.

"Yin and yang, four images and eight trigrams!"

The water of the lake soared into the sky, enveloping the five swords in it.

Zhuxian's four swords, each holding one side, Beiming is in the middle, and the sword shadows flicker, and the five swords form a formation.

"Reborn Heaven and Earth Return to Chaos!"

The formation started to work, the sword light kept flashing, and the fallen leaves wrapped in the sword formation were chopped into pieces one after another.

A gust of wind blew by, and the shattered fallen leaves that had been cut in the formation turned into countless dust that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, and went with the wind.

"The Taoist school is going to create a god of killing! This formation is so heavy and powerful that I have never seen it before. This formation has such power before it is completed. If it is perfect, its power may be unprecedented. , can be called the world's number one offensive formation."

Master Xun who could make Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his face said such words, which shows how terrifying Li Ming's original sword formation is.

"Uncle, this sword array is so lethal, in the future, I don't know how many people will die because of it." Han Fei said a little bit impatiently.

Yan Lu and Li Si looked at each other, and they both looked at Master Xun.

However, the eyes of the two were different from Han Fei's. Their eyes were more about exploring, asking, and thinking.

Han Fei belongs to the royal family of South Korea. He grew up with rich clothes and rich food. Although he knows the dangers of the world and the turmoil in the court, he has never experienced it himself.

However, Yan Lu and Li Si are different. Yan Lu followed Wuming to roam the rivers and lakes from the bottom, and was hunted down heavily by snares. Although Wuming took good care of him, these experiences still made Yan Lu understand early on that his heart is sinister.

The same is true for Li Si, he is just a small food official, he is only slightly stronger than the poor, the strong will always be strong, this truth was engraved in his heart as early as when he was young.

"Who can compare with the army when it comes to killing victories? Han Fei, you should be ready to go back to Korea, don't hold such thoughts in the future. Otherwise..."

Master Xun stopped talking and didn't go on. He believed that with Han Fei's ingenuity, it was impossible not to understand what he meant.

"No, I understand what the teacher means, and I just expressed my feelings. When it comes to killing, who can compare with the army? Killing people in vain is nothing. There are more than a million dead bodies in their hands. Their names can stop children from six countries from crying at night. In Qin, he was named the God of War..."

Thinking of the current situation in South Korea, Han Fei became sad and determined to return to China.

……

"Master, the master of both sword formations, Fu Nian is willing to bow down, this time the Confucianism lost." Fu Nian was not at all frustrated by the failure, but admitted defeat frankly.

Li Ming glanced at Fu Nian, thought for a while, and planned to use later generations' understanding of "inner sage and outer king" to give Fu Nian a few words.

"Inner sage and outer king, in Pindao's view, it should be more in line with the Confucian "Book of Rites · University" about self-cultivation, family harmony, and state governance..."

Li Ming paused for a moment, and told Fu Nian the last sentence using voice transmission over thousands of miles.

"Peace the world!"

When Fu Nian heard Li Ming's last words, "Peace the world," his body that was saluting suddenly froze on the spot, his eyes flickering. After a long time, he continued to salute and said:

"Yes, thank you uncle for your guidance..."

"Since the three competitions have ended, Pindao will not stay any longer. After a while, Pindao will bring the Great Zhou Tian Qi Xing Method to visit Xiaoshengxianzhuang. Please get ready, Master Fu Nian."

After putting away the Beiming Sword and saluting Master Xun who was sitting in the water pavilion, Li Ming turned into a butterfly shadow and disappeared.

……

Back at Renzong's residence, Li Ming recalled today's three competitions, with many thoughts in his heart.

He also didn't know whether the last advice to Fu Nian was good or bad, whether it would make Fu Nian take a completely different path.

Although the original Fu Nian practiced the way of inner sage and outer king, in Li Ming's view, he was at most a small achievement of inner sage, far from reaching the realm of outer king.

Throughout the 2000-year history of feudal dynasties in China, from Xiao He in the Han Dynasty, to Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, and then to Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty, none of these famous ministers who have gone down in history have been praised by later generations, "It is necessary to be an official." Watch XXX".

It's not that these people are not good enough, but that the person who was praised has truly achieved the phrase "inner sage and outer king".

Self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

It was Zeng Guofan who was talking about.

(It's not what I said, don't be stubborn with me, if you have the ability, tell Du Niang not to write like this... If you have a closer look at Zeng Shaved, you will find that this person is indeed a model of an ancient official, a representative of the inner sage and the outer king .)
