Chapter 431 works well
Traveling in the Junzi Kingdom for the past few days, what Jiang Li felt the most was rigidity.
People live according to the established way, and their words and deeds are all in accordance with the teachings of Confucian saints, with little free space.
It’s like a carriage walking on the official road. The official road seems to be wide and extending in all directions, but that’s all. The carriage can only walk on the official road, which is far less free than pedestrians.
Pedestrians can go to roadside jungles, mountain streams, and wild farmland to play, which is much more free than horse-drawn carriages.
Jiang Li doesn't know if the Confucian sages think of a gentleman's country like this, but Jiang Li's idea of a gentleman's country is definitely not like this.
There are too many rules in a gentleman's country. You have to push and push for a long time to buy something. People's words and deeds are strictly regulated. If you leave this standard, you are not a gentleman.
Jiang Li and the three felt that this was too troublesome.
It’s okay to visit for a few days, but it would be too boring if you really want to stay for a few months or a few years.
The same as the overall atmosphere of Junzi Kingdom, is the upcoming Dong Zhongren.
Dong Zhongren appeared on the stage, dressed more solemnly and decently than before.
He was originally a serious person, well-dressed and old-fashioned, and the etiquette ministers of the major dynasties combined did not know as much as Dong Zhongren.
Just as the unspoken rule in many countries is that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment must go to the Dazhou Royal Academy for further study, the Minister of Rites must also study in Confucianism for a period of time.
Dong Zhongren proceeded in an orderly manner in accordance with the eternal Confucian Christmas rules.
First of all, it is the praise of Confucian Christmas birth, which is a coincidence of various superimposed accidents between heaven and earth, an inevitability in accidents, and a blessing for all beings in the heavens and myriad worlds.
Then review the various actions of Confucian saints in the legend, let people know the greatness of Confucian saints.
Of course, Dong Zhongren did not mention the legend that the Confucian sage asked the Taoist ancestor.
The next thing is to talk about the relationship between Dong Zhongshu, the founder of Confucianism, and the Confucian saint.
Jiang Li also admired Dong Zhongren's imagination.
Originally, Jiang Li thought that Ji Zhi's opening speech before the martial arts competition was boring enough, but he couldn't think of anyone more boring than him.
It's normal to think about it, Ji Zhi's opening speech was prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was gilded in Confucianism, with this relationship, it is normal to be boring.
After the lengthy recollection, there is a well-prepared performance, such as poetry recitation, drama and the like.
Did the off-stage performance look good? nice. Does it reflect the cultural heritage of Kyushu? reflected.
But I just feel very boring.
If Bai Hongtu went down to talk about a stand-up comic...
Jiang Li suddenly found that his thinking logic was not right.
Jiang Li glared at Bai Hongtu, it must be because he stayed with the idiot for a long time and his thinking was affected.
Bai Hongtu looked innocent, wondering why Jiang Li was staring at him with two bully eyes.
"Jingxin, you're here too?" Jiang Li accidentally found the Holy Maiden of Jingxin, with Bai Hongtu between them.
The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart hummed, as soft as a mosquito's voice: "I'm here on behalf of the world of mortals and the pure land."
The Holy Maiden of Purity summoned up her courage to start a topic: "Jiang Li, what do you think of the performance of Confucianism?"
"It's quite boring." Considering that this is a Confucian site, even if the sound is kept to the lowest level, the people who are in harmony can still hear it clearly. Jiang Li chose to gather the lines to make a sound, so that only the pure heart saint can hear.
Originally, the Purifying Saintess was a little angry. She was sent by Master. Master must have known that Confucianism performances were boring, so she let herself come here.
But when she saw Jiang Li, she felt that it was worth coming this time.
"What book have you been reading recently?" Jiang Li was surprised, he didn't remember that the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart was a person who liked to read books.
In his impression, the saint of pure heart is either playing games or practicing in the pure land of mortals, or staying in the boudoir for a long time after hearing that she came~www.mtlnovel.com~ seldom.
The holy maiden of pure heart hesitated, embarrassed to say that she was reading a novel written by herself: "A book about the Mahayana period."
Jiang Li thought it was his own cultivation experience or something, so he joked, "Why don't you just read books related to me?"
With Jiang Li's consent, the Purifying Maiden showed a happy smile: "Well, read a book related to you."
Speaking of "Overbearing Mahayana Falls in Love with Me" written by herself, the Holy Maiden of Purity felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
At the beginning, I was worried that my writing was not good, so I printed it anonymously and distributed it to all the disciples of the Red Dust Pure Land, each with a copy, to see the effect.
The effect was very good. After reading the book, everyone fell in love with Jiangli.
"Why should I add a rival in love to myself?" The Holy Maiden of Purity had the urge to find Ji Zhi and send herself back a few years ago.
The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart approached Su Wei secretly and asked if she could refine the regret medicine.
Su Wei looked at her with weird eyes, and said that there is no regret medicine, but there is a medicine similar to the regret medicine - the forget regret medicine, which can make people forget that they have done things they regret.
Of course the saint of pure heart did not eat.
"This one looks a bit unfamiliar." Jiang Li noticed that there was a stranger sitting at the side, sharing the table with them. He only had a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, and he looked quite old.
The stranger replied respectfully: "I have met the Emperor, I am the king of the Junzi Kingdom."
Jiang Li is clear, this is a country of gentlemen, and of course the king must be seated.
Bai Hongtu asked: "Seeing that your cultivation level is not high, how did you become the king of the gentleman country?"
"I have seen Sovereign Bai, a gentleman state does not judge status by strength, but by virtue. I think I am still far from the gentleman required by Confucian saints, but everyone allows me to be the monarch."
"I have a little impression of you. Are you Dong Zhongren's younger brother?" Yu Yin looked at Junziguo with familiar eyes.
"Meet the queen, Dong Zhongren is my senior brother."
Bai Hongtu was amazed, how did the Junziguo with average talent become Dong Zhongren's junior.
As if seeing Bai Hongtu's doubts, Junzi Guojun said: "Master accepts disciples only by character, not by talent. I was lucky enough to be in the eyes of Master."
"Given your status in Confucianism, it should be easy to get some resources to help you practice." Jiang Li asked.
The monarch of the Junzi Kingdom said in shame: "My talent is mediocre, how dare I waste the heaven and earth treasures that my brothers and sisters have worked so hard to save."
"You are purely asking for trouble for yourself and others. You only have the Nascent Soul stage, and your lifespan is only a few hundred years. Could it be that when your lifespan is exhausted and you pass away, Dong Zhongren will be in great pain?"
The Great Confucian copybook appeared, and said what was said, and never concealed it.
"Across the Confucian religion, you are the most rigid, and Dong Zhong people are not as awkward as you."
"I have seen the senior Confucian copybook." The monarch of the gentleman country saluted respectfully.
"Here we go again, every time you see me you have to practice such troublesome etiquette, is it interesting?"
"That's the etiquette."
"If you don't listen to persuasion, do what you like." The Confucian copybook has nothing to do with the monarch of the gentleman.
