Chapter 177 Time is running out (Subscribe please)
Seeing Cheng Fengxiao standing next to Lu Jing, Zhu Xiangwen's head almost burned.

no……

What do you mean by good?
Why are you still standing by that heretic?
Zhu Xiangwen's scalp was about to explode: "Brother Cheng! You are confused!"

Then he pointed at Lu Jing and angrily shouted, "What kind of evil method did you use on my brother Cheng?"

Cheng Fengxiao, however, stood beside Lu Jing with a stern face, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhu, you don't have to hold Mr. Lu accountable. Do you still remember what the Qian Gua in the Book of Changes says about the use of nine?"

Zhu Xiangwen was stunned.

The Book of Changes Qian Gua Yong Jiu: Seeing a group of dragons without a leader is auspicious.

Cheng Fengxiao asked: "Why is it so auspicious when there is no leader among the dragons?"

"Because everyone in the world is like a dragon."

"Ever since Dong Zhongshu established the theory of the correspondence between heaven and man, we Confucian scholars have become vassals of the dynasty."

"Today, Confucianism has become a double-edged sword in the hands of the emperor. The emperor uses this sword to lure the world's talents into a trap, and the world's talents use this sword to check the emperor."

“But I still feel that this is not the right way.”

Cheng Fengxiao's tone was filled with sadness: "Now that I have met Mr. Lu, I have realized that what I have learned in the past is just building barriers on top of the barriers of my predecessors. Now Mr. Lu's theory has a new atmosphere that spans the world."

"Just for this reason, I am willing to sacrifice my life! Go ahead and be the first in the world!"

Cheng Fengxiao spoke passionately.

This means he is willing to risk everything to develop a new theory with Lu Jing.

With Cheng Fengxiao's status and position, he can be Lu Jing's angel investor.

pity……

The first angel investor in Lu Jing’s mind was actually Zhang Ge Lao.

However, after knowing Lu Jing's intentions clearly, Zhang Ge Lao immediately jumped out to sever ties with Lu Jing, and then went back and wrote "A Memorial to Refute Learning", which launched the crusade against Lu Jing.

Thinking of Lord Zhang, Lu Jing's heart was still filled with regret.

However, he quickly put this regret out of his mind and continued to ask Cheng Fengxiao: "Where are the gentlemen?"

Zhu Xiangwen was almost going crazy.

He pointed at Lu Jing and scolded him: "I didn't expect that a butcher from the Zhen'an Division like you would be so good at deceiving people. What a pity for you, Cheng Fengxiao! I can't believe that such a great person like you has emerged from my School of Principle!"

"You are doing evil things, and you will be destroyed by the world!"

Amid Zhu Xiangwen's scolding, the three masters of psychology remained silent.

Lu Xinming suddenly laughed heartily: "When our family leader Lu Jiuyuan proposed the theory of 'Heaven and Mind are one', the Neo-Confucian master was also as anxious as Brother Zhu. I never thought that this moment is exactly like that moment."

Lu Xinming stood next to Lu Jing: "Mr.'s words today are thought-provoking, and I am willing to follow them."

Zhang Jiuyuan is also a member of the Lu School, and is a close friend of Lu Xinming.

Seeing that all my friends had stood there, I naturally didn't say anything.

Even if there is hell ahead, as long as Lu Xinming wants to go there, he can go there.

Seeing three literary masters standing next to Lu Jing one after another, Zhu Xiangwen's anger gradually subsided.

Wang Zi'an is also a master of the School of Mind. Although Lu Jing's theory is very attractive and reasonable.

But like his ancestors, Wang Zi'an aspired to become a saint since he was young.

So Wang Zi'an bowed to Lu Jing, Lu Xinming, and Zhang Jiuyuan and said, "Although Mr. Lu's theory is quite profound and will benefit the world, I am determined to become a saint, so I will not get involved with you."

Wang Zi'an looked at Lu Jing and said, "I would like to lead my disciples to study in seclusion from now on. Do you agree, Mr. Lu?"

Mr. Wang Zi'an is a wise man.

Knowing that the struggle for the orthodoxy is a fight to the death, once a hostile relationship is established, it will be a life-and-death situation.

Therefore, before Lu Jing started the dispute over the orthodox doctrine, he proposed to not help either side and stay out of it.

Of course Lu Jing agreed to everything.

Although psychology is a very powerful subject.

He is even the only scholar in Zhongzhou in the past three thousand years who has become a saint through his knowledge.

However, the study of the mind is too subtle and profound, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to get started.

Therefore, even though the School of Mind produced a sage, Dayu still used the eight-legged essay and the Neo-Confucianism to educate the people.

Xinxue is only popular among a small number of people.

And those who can get started with psychology are often geniuses in their field.

Therefore, although the school of mind is small, it is very powerful.

If a fight really breaks out, the School of Mind will be able to defeat other schools such as Neo-Confucianism, Taoism, etc., and they will not be able to hold their heads up.

The simple phrase "My heart is bright" can scare most opponents to the point of making their hair stand on end.

Therefore, Lu Jing was of course happy to see that the School of Mind wanted to stay out of it.

After all, the theory he promoted was too materialistic.

But this is a world where mysterious and powerful forces exist, and idealism is no longer a theory but a real force.

The practice methods within the framework of psychology theory are even more vague and vague, like "the power of my thinking".

Therefore, in Lu Jing's view, the existence of psychology is a supplement to dialectical materialism.

It is the only way to cultivate one's character and enlighten one's mind.

So Lu Jing bowed to Wang Zian and said, "Mr. Wang, please do as you please."

So Wang Zian turned around, looked back at the disciples of Xinxue behind him and said, "If anyone feels that what Mr. Lu said makes sense and is moved, you can go."

The Xinxue disciples below immediately started talking, and a buzzing sound was heard instantly.

Wang Zi'an said calmly amidst the buzzing noise: "My philosophy of mind emphasizes the unity of knowledge and action. There is nothing outside the mind. When the mind moves, the will moves. When the will moves, action follows. If you cannot follow this path, what is the point of staying in my philosophy of mind?"

Wang Zian's words awakened many Xinxue disciples as if from a dream. They immediately followed their hearts, stepped over the white clouds, and walked to Lu Jing's side.

The most important thing for the School of Mind is to follow one's heart. What if two people with different minds meet on a narrow road?
That would naturally be a head-on collision!

Kill you!
Then my heart is naturally above you.

From this perspective, the School of Mind is very rigid.

Therefore, Lu Jing has a very good impression of psychology.

As the disciples of Xinxue chose their teams, Wang Zian looked at the disciples next to Lu Jing and said with a smile, "From now on, you and we will be from different sects. If there are any conflicts, you know the philosophy of my Xinxue."

Without waiting for Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhang to speak, Lu Jing smiled and said, "Xinxue is unique in terms of self-cultivation and enlightenment. I don't think there will be a day when we will be hostile to each other."

Wang Zi'an stroked his long beard and laughed, "The world is full of ups and downs, and no one can predict what will happen tomorrow. I'll take my leave now."

finished,

Wang Zi'an raised his hand, and the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth rolled. A white cloud appeared next to the white cloud controlled by Lu Jing.

Then Wang Zi'an led the remaining disciples of Xinxue and turned away.

No nostalgia, no hesitation.

Cool and straightforward.

Zhu Xiangwen also snorted, flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.

The grand debate and questioning with great fanfare had been completely thwarted by Lu Jing's beatings.

Staying any longer would only add to the joke.

Although there are other Taoist schools that have not yet come out to compete, Taoism is essentially the study of pure conversation that has been passed down from the scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

They are okay with talking nonsense.

But when it comes to real practice, a dog is better than them.

Therefore, Taoism has wisely remained silent until now.

But Zhu Xiangwen wanted to leave, but Lu Jing wouldn't let him.

Lu Jing raised his hand and waved it, and the surrounding heaven and earth energy immediately turned into an invisible cage that locked up Zhu Xiangwen.

Zhu Xiangwen looked unkind: "Killing the three people from the Kong family is not enough, you also want to kill me?"

Lu Jing said calmly: "Mr. Zhu, the other scholars from Taoism have not expressed their opinions yet."

He is not an unreasonable person.

As long as this group of people make their attitude clear and swear a blood oath.

Lu Jing would not make things difficult for them.

Zhu Xiangwen snorted coldly: "Show your attitude? Your doctrine is going to dig up our roots! What else is there to say?! It's naturally a fight to the death!"

Lu Jing immediately responded: "Okay!"

"What a fight to the death!"

Lu Jing looked at the Taoists and asked, "Do you guys mean the same thing?"

Those Taoists who were planning to take advantage of the opportunity to slack off and improve their reputation were a little scared at that time.

Damn it, Zhu Xiangwen, you are brain-destroying!
Why are you so aggressive with this killer?
The Neo-Confucianism you are studying is the official school certified by the Dayu court. It is a doctrine that must be used in selecting talents throughout the country and is deeply bound to the Dayu court.

He is also a vested interest holder in the Dayu Dynasty.

You and the guy named Lu must fight to the death. What does it have to do with us who usually slack off?
Blanch!
The Taoist master Xie Lingqiu rolled his eyes, pulled the two friends beside him and said: "We are the same as the School of Mind. We just want to retreat and study, and don't want to be involved in worldly matters."

Then Xie Lingqiu and others very tactfully swore an oath in the name of all the saints.

This oath is a bond.

But the cost of backlash is not that great.

But Lu Jing didn't care.

He just wants an attitude.

If they regret it in the future, then if I take action again, it will be justified in the eyes of Central Continent public opinion.

So after thanking Lingqiu and other Taoist scholars for their oath, Lu Jingbian let them leave.

Therefore, above the white clouds, only students from the Neo-Confucianism and Confucius schools remained.

Lu Jing glanced at these people and said, "Although Mr. Zhu is highly respected, he cannot represent everyone. So I will give you ten breaths of time to let you scholars think carefully. Do you want to fight to the death, or join me, or stay out of it?"

Zhu Xiangwen was so angry that his hair stood on end: "Lu Jing! You are putting a gentleman in danger!"

Lu Jing ignored him: "Ten."

"Nine."

"Eight."

Many scholars who were pondering in silence felt an increasingly urgent sense of tension under the steady and indifferent counting, and began to whisper to each other.

"seven."

"six."

When the reading was more than halfway through, a group of scholars stood up and said that they were willing to stay out of it and focus on studying.

Lu Jing smiled and allowed them to leave.

In fact, these scholars are not as systematic as those of the School of Mind and Taoism, and they can rely on the protection of bigwigs to stay out of trouble.

As students of Neo-Confucianism and Confucius Mansion, they stayed out of the matter at this moment. It seemed that they did not offend either side, but in fact they offended both sides.

Lu Jing took note of these people and would never hire them in the future.

Lu Jing continued to read the numbers: "Five, four, three... Everyone, time is running out."

Zhu Xiangwen laughed in anger: "Good, good, good! What a domineering Lu Jing!"

Lu Jing: “One.”
