Establish a mind for heaven and earth, and establish a destiny for the people.
After setting rules for all realms, we must let all the people of the human race take control of their own destiny, and not be harassed by alien races, bullied by monsters, or oppressed by powerful forces!
When people heard “establish a mind for heaven and earth”, they were just shocked, but when they heard “establish a destiny for the people”, most people admired, while a few were stunned.
Shengmin was originally a chapter in "The Book of Songs*Da Ya". The most basic meaning of Shengmin is the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, and "Shengmin" in "The Book of Songs" means being blessed by heaven and gods. Later, it referred to all people in the world.
To establish a mission for the people originally means to educate the people, to restrain them with morality, to lead them with spirit, and to let the people control their own destiny.
However, Fang Yun knew that neither morality nor spirituality could truly allow the people to control their destiny.
The people cannot sit and wait for death; they must fight and struggle. Only in this way can they be protected in prosperous times and have strength in troubled times.
Fang Yun, we must provide the people with protection and strength!
Otherwise, serving the people is just a slogan.
Those who shout "living for the people" may not be as aware as Fang Yun of the cruelty of this process.
Only the great scholars and even the great Confucian scholars could hear the sound of killing in the five words "establishing a mission for the people", because if Fang Yun did not want to give power to the people, the twelve-petal lotus would never appear.
Only when heaven and earth have rules can people have a destiny.
When they heard “carrying on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages”, everyone sighed in their hearts.
Fang Yun set this ambition just after the death of Semi-Saint Xi Yunxiao. It was obvious that he had something in his heart and truly wanted to inherit the holy path of the saints and carry it forward.
As for the last sentence "to bring peace to the world for all time", it points directly to the highest realm of Confucianism, which is to create a society of universal peace.
This time, the Lei family of the Zong family said nothing, and even they could see that the reason why the twelve-petal lotus pedestal was formed was that Fang Yun himself had a deep understanding of these four sentences, and he firmly moved forward with these four sentences as his ambition. Otherwise, the ambition alone would not form a lotus pedestal, and at most it would be a twelve-petal lotus.
Fang Yun’s political achievements in Ning’an County are the most powerful evidence.
Fang Yun formulated new rules for Ning'an County, which was to establish the foundation for Ning'an City.
Fang Yun made the people of Ning'an County live a richer life, more secure, and more and more talented people passed the imperial examinations. This was establishing their destiny.
Fang Yun has made breakthroughs in many holy ways, which is to carry on the unique knowledge of the ancient sages.
Ning'an County has not only changed a lot, but many of its innovations have been learned by people all over the country, and it can be said that it has opened up many peaceful places.
All the scholars in the audience stood in the stands and looked at Fang Yun.
Yan Yukong was climbing up from the lotus pond, and Sun Naiyong lent a hand and pulled him ashore.
The top scorers stood by the pool, looking at Fang Yun in the lotus pedestal.
Sun Naiyong said loudly: "Fang Yun, it would be unreasonable if you don't get drunk with us today."
"Yes, you should punish yourself by drinking three cups of wine!" Yan Yukong chimed in while tidying up his clothes.
"Alas, all the lotus seeds accumulated in the lotus pond for more than a year belong to him alone!"
“It hurts!”
All the top scorers were convinced but they were not forgiving in their words.
Fang Yun looked at the top scholars and said with a smile, "There is dragon-patterned rice in the Xuemang Ancient Land. Come back in three months and give one or two taels to each of you."
"Don't regret it!"
"Ok, deal!"
Many top scorers were delighted.
Dragon-patterned rice is a magical object unique to the ancient land of Xuemang.
Dragon Pattern Rice is like white jade. A grain of rice is one inch long. When it matures, golden dragon patterns will appear on the surface. When you shine a candlelight on it at night, you will see a dragon swimming in the shadow. It is the best tonic in the world. This thing is most suitable for the human race, unlike some other divine objects. The effect is very strong, but it is more effective against monsters and barbarians, and has a mediocre effect on the human race.
The reason why the Blood Mang Ancient Land can exchange what it needs from the Holy Academy every five to ten years is because they can provide enough Dragon Pattern Rice.
Dragon-patterned rice is the food of all saints!
Even the children of top-notch aristocratic families like Yan Yukong or Kong Delun might not be able to eat a grain of dragon-patterned rice in several years.
Yan Yukong said: "When you arrive at the Blood Mang Ancient Land, if you encounter dragon pattern rice, don't be polite, take as much as you can. It will be of great help to you!"
Fang Yun naturally knew that one of the three major functions of the dragon-patterned rice was similar to the lotus seeds in the lotus pond, which was to condense talent and eliminate the hidden dangers brought about by too rapid promotion.
As soon as Yan Yukong finished speaking, he saw twelve lotus flowers appear near Fang Yun, and then formed lotus pods. The green lotus seeds in each lotus pod condensed into silver, and turned into twelve silver lotus seeds that flew towards Fang Yun and finally stopped in front of Fang Yun.
Seeing these twelve lotus seeds, everyone present was envious. Lotus seeds have the powerful function of condensing talent, and each lotus seed can resolve a scholar's spiritual crisis.
Especially when the evil magic attacks the mind, the silver lotus seeds can quickly help people escape from trouble.
As soon as Fang Yun opened his mouth, twelve lotus seeds lined up and flew into his Wen Palace.
The twelve lotus seeds sparkled with a faint silver light, surrounding the literary talent like stars surrounding the moon, emitting a warm glow and making the talent more condensed.
Then, a faint white mist rose from the lotus pond, completely surrounding Fang Yun.
Everyone became more and more envious. This white mist was the purest vital energy of heaven and earth. It was difficult to form a mist, but once it formed the vital energy of heaven and earth in the form of mist, it became extremely magical. It could not only cure all injuries in Fang Yun's body, but also make his body stronger.
Every time the scholar absorbs this kind of heaven and earth vital energy mist, his ability to control the heaven and earth vital energy will be improved. In other words, the power of war poetry will be enhanced.
As long as one stands in the lotus pond, one can absorb the vital energy mist of heaven and earth. But now, there is only Fang Yun.
It took Fang Yun half a quarter of an hour to absorb all the vital energy mist above the light lotus pond.
"Please ask Mr. Fang to enter the lava cave."
When everyone heard the great scholar address Fang Yun in that way, they were slightly stunned, but then they realized that although the formal process of competing for the head of state had not yet ended, Fang Yun was already the real head of state.
Fang Yun bowed to all the top scorers, and then he saw the sky and the earth changing, the space shifted, and he arrived at the crater of a volcano.
Fang Yun looked around. There were still stands all around him, but just like when he was at the lotus pond, there seemed to be a layer of membrane between him and them, and they were not in the same space at all.
The rest of the top picks have also been sent back to the stands.
The volcano has a diameter of more than thirty feet. Inside the crater, magma is rolling and flowing red. Bubbles formed by magma are constantly emerging, and after exploding, they splash everywhere, which is frightening to look at.
In the center of the crater, there are more than a dozen stone pillars, with a large stone pillar in the middle. There is a stone bridge on it that connects each stone pillar and the edge of the crater.
Fang Yun stepped onto the bridge and walked to the large stone pillar in the middle. Before he could write his heart, he saw twelve beating lava hearts emerging from the lava.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
The heart of the magma was emitting red flames, and magma was flowing slowly inside, beating like a drum.
The magma heart can enhance the power of Wenxin!
After the magma heart and the Wenxin lamp are integrated, the growth rate of the Wenxin will increase rapidly.
Fang Yun looked at the lava heart, and the person he wanted to thank the most was the stupid scholar Yi Zhishi. He didn't catch a top-grade Spring and Autumn Sequence fish in Xuehai, and Fang Yun didn't want to use a medium-grade one. But now he has the lava heart, and in twenty years at most, Spring and Autumn Sequence will be top-grade, and in a hundred years, Spring and Autumn Sequence will definitely be ranked among the holy ones.
