Chapter 703: Ritual, Music and Domains
Qiu Jin followed Princess Taiping, which gave Princess Taiping a general understanding of the era Qiu Jin lived in. It was a dark and depressing era, with layers of shackles that made people unable to breathe.
Eh?
It seems that Neo-Confucianism is one of the culprits!
Princess Taiping looked at Xiao Ye a little changed, and said unkindly: "Will the "State of the People" you compiled become a tool to bind and oppress the people in the future?"
"There is a high probability!"
Xiao Ye nodded honestly.
"Then why do you still make up?"
Princess Taiping said dissatisfied.
Xiao Ye said: "Any classic works will gradually deviate from the original heart of the compiler and become a tool for the ruler. This is inevitable, so the problem goes back to the beginning.
Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn Annals" to turn the tide and establish orders for the countries in the Spring and Autumn Annals. But is the historical process as he wished?
I wrote "Li Jing" to extend my life for Confucianism, but judging from the question the princess asked me, I must have a certain understanding of the era in which Qiu Jin was. Not only did Neo-Confucianism fail to succeed for Confucianism, but instead led Confucianism to fall into the abyss together.
That's why I asked the princess, who will formulate the rituals and music? Is the compiler the craftsman the craftsman?"
Princess Taiping showed a thoughtful look.
Xiao Ye said again: "Humans have complex thoughts and their own selfish intentions. This determines that any meaning will eventually be distorted and misinterpreted, but this may not be a bad thing."
"Where does this start?"
Princess Taiping was puzzled.
Xiao Ye said: "I have communicated with the Nascent Soul of the Yin Ling Clan. They believe that human body structure is complex and is not as efficient as theirs in the direction of evolution.
Later I killed them and studied their corpses. This is true. With the same level of cultivation, the speed of true qi running at 20% to 30%, and the force exerted more directly and suddenly. From this point of view, humans are not as good as the Yin Ling Clan.
But there has never been perfect in the world. The Yin Ling Clan focuses on the evolution of the direction of power, so it inevitably neglects the meaning. Although humans have complex body structures and low efficiency in using power, they have more possibilities due to their complex structures. Therefore, the height of humans in their thinking is higher than that of the Yin Ling Clan..."
Princess Taiping interrupted: "What's the use of a high height? No matter how good theories are, they will gradually collapse. I think they are not as simple as the Yin Ling Clan."
Xiao Ye said seriously: "Princess, your thought is essentially a thought of surrendering to the enemy. I must criticize you. Of course, any order will collapse one day, but this also forces humans to create more advanced and more realistic ideas.
The Yin Ling tribe started with their ancestors and did not change much for millions of years. However, under the scale of millions of years, humans have iteratively updated their thoughts, leading one prosperous era after another. As the saying goes, there are talented people in the country and each has led the way for hundreds of years. No one will always occupy the throne of the protagonist of the times.
What the Yin Ling Clan never forgets is only the ancestor Yin Ling and the Emperor Adam. Among humans, there are countless achievements that are comparable to these two. It is under the leadership of generations of great men that humans gradually grow and grow. How can this be compared with the Yin Ling Clan?"
"Not right!"
Princess Taiping retorted: "The Yin Ling clan's military front once swept across the universe, and humans are the most prosperous, and they only occupy the Jiuzhou Continent, right? Besides, they did not occupy all of them, and the power of the monsters is not small."
Xiao Ye said: "The Yin Ling Clan relies on its number advantage to crush it. How has humans ever won by number?"
"snort!"
Princess Taiping thought about it, but she snorted stubbornly: "What does this have to do with the rituals and music you mentioned?"
"It's a big deal!"
Xiao Ye said without hesitation: "Rites and music are order, and order is constantly changing according to the development of the times, so we must look forward and look at the scenery and things in the long run, and there is no need to stick to inappropriate rituals and music.
Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, but did not express his new ideas. It was still the Zhou Li style. History has long proved that the Zhou Li style was inappropriate. Therefore, Confucianism was only picked up by the rulers in the Han Dynasty, but it deviated from Confucius' original intention. Perhaps Confucius could not become an immortal, which is also related to this.
But I am different from being a manager. I have expressed new ideas based on my predecessors. Therefore, in the future, managers can become order. Of course, it will be out of place sooner or later and will collapse with the years. But that's not my business. I am just the protagonist of this era, and future generations will worry about it."
"You really look at yourself!"
Princess Taiping said unconvincedly.
Xiao Ye smiled slightly: "I am not arrogant. The princess has also transformed into a true heart and a false state and has overridden the heart of heaven with her own heart. If you should stand up, you have to stand up. How could you not even understand this principle?
Therefore, it doesn’t matter who determines rituals and music at all. What’s important is that rituals lies in the heart. If the heart is right, rituals will be upright. I am in this era, and I am the yardstick of rituals and music. I lead the heart of people with my own actions. People’s hearts are in line with the heart of heaven. Isn’t this the way of heaven or what?”
At this moment, Xiao Ye showed his domineering aura, his aura rising infinitely, as if a god swore to step on the heaven and earth under his feet. Princess Taiping couldn't help but look obsessed in her eyes, murmured: "Is this why you are unscrupulous to me?"
As soon as he said that something was wrong, Princess Taiping's pretty face was covered with redness, so she quickly bit her lip and glared at her fiercely.
But suddenly, Xiao Ye's aura burst out, and his spirit surged violently. A gift-giving rune suddenly appeared!
"this……"
Princess Taiping was stunned and full of envy!
As far as she knows, Xiao Ye already has the rune of benevolence and righteousness, and now he has the word "ritual" and she is not clear about the rune of wisdom.
At this time, in Xiao Ye's sea of consciousness, runes of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom were parallel, rotating around the earth, like four bright stars, illuminating the earth with a ray of light and affecting people's hearts.
Xiao Ye immersed himself in and felt it secretly.
The runes of benevolence and righteousness specialize in those who are unkind and unrighteous. The runes of wisdom take off and descend on the role of wisdom, and the essence of ritual is order, which builds an order of one's own, or can be regarded as a field.
Within a certain range, the order is constructed by me, you must listen to me!
"Princess, are you interested in two moves?"
Xiao Ye sent an invitation.
"Hmph, don't think that you are in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, I'm afraid of you, just pass!"
Princess Taiping snorted, her figure flashed, and disappeared from the spot.
Xiao Ye caught up closely.
When it appeared again, it was already the empty mountainous area of Beimang Mountain. The two of them each occupied a mountain top, about ten miles apart.
"Look at the sword!"
Princess Taiping's head flashed with a sword ball, turning into a silver sword light, piercing straight towards her without any hesitation!
Xiao Ye immediately sacrificed the ritual runes.
It's indeed the field!
He could feel that the maximum range of the field is comparable to his talent, and the fourth-level talent can reach 1,200 meters.
In a blink of an eye, a sword light penetrated into the realm!
"Dun!"
Xiaoye builds order.
It seems useless?
The sword light still pierced quickly!
But when it pierced nine hundred feet, it had a slight impact, a little slower.
“Huh?”
Princess Taiping keenly noticed the change, and her fighting spirit became even stronger. She suddenly destroyed the sword pill. The sword pill speed increased sharply, not only offsetting the slowdown point, but also becoming faster!
"Dun!"
"Don't!"
Xiao Ye’s talent surged!
When it reached six hundred feet, Jianwan's speed was affected again.
"snort!"
Princess Taiping does not believe in evil, destroys all the true energy, and has no reservation!
However, when the piercing three hundred feet, the increase speed dropped again.
However, although the speed has decreased, the lethality of Jianwan itself is still there, and Princess Taiping began to use swordsmanship to offset the influence of the field.
But the deeper the piercing, the greater the impact. Within a hundred feet, there was already a feeling of being unable to do so.
At twelve meter, no matter how Princess Taiping moved, Jianwan suddenly fell into the air.
Xiao Ye reached out and took it over.
Through experiments, it is obvious that the further away from yourself, the more severe the field will decay.
At present, Xiao Ye's combat power is equivalent to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage. If you have a small outbreak, you can force yourself to compete for the peak of the Nascent Soul to deal with the Nascent Soul. There is no need to open the domain and consume your talents in vain. The target of the domain is only Yang Shen.
