I'm Pretending to Be Monkey King in the Chat Group

What Patriarch Bodhi taught is really Confucianism.

Although it seems that the concept of Confucianism is different from the Confucianism that Jiang Chen has heard all the time, it is a discussion of etiquette and the principles of how to behave.but……

Jiang Chen was very helpless.

Did I come here to learn how to be a human?

"...the principle of free movement in this world. It is necessary to follow the rituals determined by the heavens in order to be able to follow the sky and achieve the Taoism. The so-called rituals are formed under the heavens, and all things in the world should follow Basic morality. Although, in different eras, the standard of morality may also change. But even so, the concept of the way of heaven can be deduced and perceived from the following points."

"In the word 'Confucianism', the concept of conforming to the way of heaven is basically divided into the following categories: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and fraternity... Among them, the meaning of benevolence is It is with a heart of universal love for all..."

"Of course, there are ways to change everything. Although the above concepts are the basis, there are exceptions. For example, if others are unkind to you first, you can also be unrighteous to them. As the saying goes, 'repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue'? To complain is to act in accordance with the way of heaven..."

I have to say that what Patriarch Bodhi taught is very simple and basic.Moreover, Jiang Chen could vaguely feel that the Taoism of Patriarch Bodhi was actually an explanation of the way of heaven.

Although the views of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith come from Confucianism, their foundation is a way of pursuing "following the way of heaven".

This is actually quite important in the world of mythology.

For example, in fact, many times, when practitioners act, they often do many "go against the sky" things inadvertently.For example, in the eyes of monsters, eating people is not a big deal, just like people eating animals.

However, if there really is a monster with an ordinary cultivation level who dares to eat a whole city casually.There is no doubt that his behavior can be called "going against the sky". It is estimated that even if the cultivators of the human race do not kill him, he will be horribly disasterd by heaven.

This is actually very easy to understand.Just like it is normal for humans to eat animals, but if humans exhaust their resources, they will directly wipe out the animals.That also formed an effect similar to "defying the sky".

Of course, the anti-heaven here does not mean directly confronting the heavens, and even those who have done such things have no corresponding concept.However, the cause and effect mixed in it is extremely terrifying.

In addition, most of the people present are spirits and monsters.

So from this point of view, it is no wonder that Patriarch Bodhi would first explain the principles of the word "Confucianism" to educate these monsters.

But thinking of this, Jiang Chen took a look at Brother Hou.Brother Hou will make troubles in the Heavenly Palace in the future, wouldn't he also be "going against the sky"?If Brother Hou really agrees with the principles of Confucianism, he probably won't act against Tiangong in the future.

After seeing this, Jiang Chen finally understood.It turned out to be a good thing, Brother Hou was dozing off at the moment, and had already fallen asleep.What the hell, it seems that Brother Hou is not interested in this stuff either!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen had no scruples.Anyway, for him, he is neither interested in these great principles of Confucianism, nor is there any need to be persistent in learning them.With his eyes slightly closed, he felt the breeze blowing and the fragrance emanating from it, and soon he gradually fell asleep under the gentle words of Patriarch Bodhi...

However, at this time.

Bang!

Suddenly, Jiang Chen felt a pain on his forehead: "Pain, pain, pain!"

Jiang Chen immediately covered his forehead, his body was already as hard as iron, and he was even hurt by the beating.He raised his head, but found that Patriarch Bodhi was holding a ruler in his hand, and looked at him indifferently: "Jiang Chen, although you are not my disciple yet, you fell asleep when you first heard the sermon. Have you ever held a sense of reverence? "

Jiang Chen was immediately angry when he heard the words.

What the hell, you don't care Brother Hou is sleeping there, I just dozed off and hit me.Treat them differently!

However, after all, he was facing Patriarch Bodhi with unfathomable cultivation, so he naturally didn't dare to contradict him too much, he just said: "Patriarch, please don't be angry, although I fell asleep, but the principles that Patriarch said are all in my heart. If you don't believe me, Patriarch can inspect me!"

Chapter 90 Retelling

Patriarch Bodhi looked at the monkey in front of him and frowned slightly.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the arena also became slightly stagnant, and the dragon girl hastily tugged at the corner of Jiang Chen's clothes, trying to persuade Jiang Chen to apologize.

But before they could speak, Patriarch Bodhi said lightly: "Okay, that's the case. If you can repeat what I just said just now, and express your own experience. Then I blamed you, if not , and immediately expelled from Sanxing Cave."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but froze.How can it be so strict?

But if he thought about it carefully, he almost realized it.Maybe it was my fault!

Yes, I may be too relaxed because of the records in "Journey to the West".

If you think about it carefully, Patriarch Bodhi actually taught Confucianism with profound meaning.The reason why he will talk about Confucianism here instead of the teachings of other schools is actually to educate his disciples.

The hundred schools of thought may all have their merits, but in terms of enlightenment, I am afraid that none of them can compare with Confucianism.

Perhaps in terms of "precepts and admonitions", there are Legalists who are better than Confucianists.But that's another story.

Most of the disciples present are spirits. Although most of them have extraordinary talents, they have their own wildness that is difficult to tame. bMaybe there will be some people-eating monsters and the like, which is inevitable.

For example, in "Journey to the West", after Sun Wukong became a teacher, he once said that he had become a beautiful woman to seduce passers-by and eat them.Of course, it's hard to tell if it's true or not. After all, this sentence was said by Brother Hou in a fit of anger during the "Three Beats of the Bone Demon", and it is very likely that it was just an angry statement.

From Jiang Chen's point of view, Brother Hou probably doesn't eat people.But if he can say such a thing, it at least proves that it is only natural for monsters to eat people.But for Patriarch Bodhi, it is bad luck for his disciples to eat people.

That's why he felt that he had underestimated Taoism, so he was so angry.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen figured it out.I'm afraid I have been misunderstood. If it is considered "a dead wood is hard to carve", it will be troublesome.

Although Jiang Chen didn't really care about whether to stay or not, at least he had to earn enough points before he left the Oblique Moon Samsung Cave.Secondly, this three-star cave of the oblique moon is a place to hide the secrets of the heavens. It cannot be safer here. If you go out, you may be tricked by various schemes at any time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen didn't care why Patriarch Bodhi didn't reprimand Brother Hou. Of course, if you think about it carefully, this is not a problem at all. After all, Brother Hou's luck is different from his own.

So he nodded slightly, said "yes", and then said:

"What the patriarch Shicai talked about was the thoughts of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and brotherhood' in the Confucian word."

"Among them, the meaning of 'benevolence' is to love others. The so-called 'universal love for all, one can be kind to others'. To educate people with thoughts is the embodiment of benevolence, and it is the expression of empathizing with others."

"Righteousness, that is, behaviors that are suitable for 'li', is the moral principle for judging people's thoughts and behaviors."

"Li is a rule formed according to the moral law. It is also a way of acting in accordance with the law."

"Wisdom is knowing, understanding, insight, knowledge, intelligence, wisdom, etc..."

Jiang Chen explained them one by one concisely.
