Chapter 1207 Shanglin Community
Xia Mengying continued: "At that time, I was also taken into the Si Guo Hall, and the person who took me there was the head of the family."
"He asked me on the road: What did that person say to me? How did I answer him?"
"I told him everything. He warned me. When he entered Siguotang, he said he was scared and ran with those people. In the end, he lost his way and only found it at night. Others, everything.
Don’t say it.”
"I listened to the head of the family, and that was the first time in my life that I lied."
"After that day, we were all locked up in the Reflection Hall, copying books and thinking about our mistakes. We were locked up for a month before we were released."
"When I returned to Linjian Shuyuan, I found that the leading child was missing."
"Some people say that he was sent out of Banxian Village, while others say that he was beaten to death in the Siguo Hall. In short, Banxian Village does not allow us to mention that person again."
"Later, the head of the family told me: You'd better not see that person unless you have to."
After Xia Mengying finished speaking, she sighed and said, "The head of the family asked me to come out with you, maybe just so that I can meet that person."
I couldn't help but frown when I heard this: "Didn't Xia Chuan tell you who that person is? Because of his words, Banxianzhuang is able to face a formidable enemy?"
Xia Mengying shook her head and said, "I never said that! However, I suspect that person is a traitor to Confucianism."
"Rebellious against Confucianism?" This is the first time I heard this word.
Butcher Wang explained: "Rebel against Confucianism is also called evil Confucianism. It belongs to the lineage of Confucianism, but it is not allowed in Confucianism."
"To put it simply: they are rebels from the Confucian sect, or people who distort Confucian thought. Confucianism helps the world, but they rebel against Confucianism for personal gain."
Butcher Wang said: "I don't know much about Confucian thought. I just heard rumors from the world! I have to ask Teacher Xia to tell you the specific things."
Xia Mengying shook her head and said: "I don't know about this either. Banxian Village and even the Confucian sect don't allow us to have contact with rebel Confucians!"
"Rebel against Confucianism? That's interesting!" I said, "I've always had a question that I can't quite figure out!"
"We warlocks can travel across the rivers and lakes, fight for victory and defeat, and fight ghosts and gods. Either by relying on martial arts training or by solving the laws of gods."
"In Confucian thought, there is no heaven and hell, nor gods and Buddhas. The Confucian attitude towards ghosts and gods is the Confucian attitude towards ghosts and gods without talking about monsters and gods..."
When Ye Yang heard this, he snorted and said, "Read more books! Don't embarrass yourself in front of Teacher Xia. It's not that Confucius doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, it's that he doesn't worship or believe in ghosts and gods, and he should stay away from ghosts and gods."
From the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the theory of ghosts and gods was at its peak. It would be incorrect to say that Confucius in that era was a staunch atheist.
I glanced at Ye Yang: "Are you possessed by Gang Jing? Am I discussing academics with you? Just understand the general meaning!"
Ye Yang said slowly: "If you want to say anything, just say it. People with the lowest academic qualifications in the Liangjie Hall should not talk about Confucianism. Can't we talk if we have something to say?"
I was so angry that I rolled my eyes: "I mean, the power of Confucianism comes from the righteousness cultivated by oneself. In this case, where does the righteousness of rebels and evil Confucians come from?"
As the old saying goes: Ghosts are afraid of evil people!
Actually, this is not correct!
What ghosts fear most is not evil people, but honest people.
If a person is open-minded and upright, he will be immune to all evil without using any external objects or seeking blessings from gods.
Unfortunately, most people can't do it.
Xia Mengying said in a deep voice: "Li Po, you are not the first person to ask this question, and you will not be the last one."
"But, I can't give you the answer. Even the great scholar of Banxian Village can't give you the answer."
"Confucianism has nothing to do with Jianghu. You can just regard Banxianzhuang as a Jianghu sect."
I nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. The only difference between Banxianzhuang and Rebellious Confucianism is in their ideals. It's just like the dispute between Jianzong and Qizong in the novel, right?"
Xia Mengying whispered: "Or, you can understand it this way!"
My words are to test Xia Mengying. It seems that she really doesn't understand the root of evil Confucianism.
Confucianism is not radical or extreme. Even if there are disagreements in ideas and academic disputes, there will not be a life-or-death situation.
The evil Confucian's power should come from another source!
It's just that Xia Mengying doesn't know!
Along the way, I didn’t mention the Confucianism thing again. When we arrived at Shanglin Village, I was stunned: “You call this Shanglin Village?”
Xia Mengying was stunned when she looked at the community in front of her: "In my impression, this is the location of Shanglin Village!"
Lin Zhao took his mobile phone and checked the map: "This is called Shanglin Community, not Shanglin Village. Could it be that Shanglin Village was lost due to the renovation of the community?"
I turned around and said, "Wait for me here while I go to inquire about what's going on?"
After Lin Zhao and I entered the community, we looked everywhere for the property management office, but we couldn't find where the property management office was.
Lin Zhao pointed to the signboard in the community and said, "Isn't it written on it? The property is over there, why can't we find a place?"
I looked at the residential corridors of the community and said, "Didn't you find anything wrong?"
