Chapter 2239: Chapter 10: History Speaks for Itself_2
Indeed, how can this be explained clearly?
In that distant dark era, the Dao Veins of the Kaidao lineage were naturally blocked, unable to beco Transcendent. Who knows what their true thoughts were?
Let us imagine.
Back then, how would the Kaidao lineage defend themselves? Naturally, they would say they tread the path alone for the great ideal of the Human Race’s rise.
But who could believe it?
“Judge by actions, not by intent, because the human heart is unfathomable and imasurable.”
Jiang Wang started with this, then continued, “Just now, a classmate ntioned Mr. Er, who once said — ‘Sages may not be wise every day, nor are evildoers evil every mont. A killer can be a loving father, and a savior of a nation can be a prisoner. We should use the Law Rope to outline conduct, not evaluate heroism by heroism itself!’
Judging by its rits, the Channel-opening Pill formula is a great achievent, worthy of the Human Emperor.
Judging by its faults, harming infants and murdering heroes are unforgivable evils.
I walked the path to transcendence because of the Channel-opening Pill. I cannot speak of the person’s rits and faults.
But I think…
History already holds the answer.”
Almost everyone present knew Er Fengming’s “On rits and Faults,” was written to criticize Jiang Wang.
To support Jiang Wang’s fa, Zhongxuan Sheng had a Great Scholar write “Heroes of the Nation,” which included the famous line, “A nation with heroes, who makes them leave the nation and die? The Long River eastward flows, is it changed by silt?”
Er Fengming used the passage Jiang Wang just recited to directly criticize the statent, damaging Jiang Wang’s reputation and triggering the thorough investigation of Green Sheep Town.
Lu Xiangqing stroked his beard and sighed: “Not to ntion other things, your quoting the article attacking you shows the character of a State Marquis!”
Jiang Wang smiled bitterly: “I have no character, just a lack of reading, so I couldn’t think of another quote at the ti. Just by chance, the bitter article with my surna thoroughly infuriated to examine it several tis—I won’t show him a good face if I et him, a beating wouldn’t be strange,”
The laughter erupted in the Bright and Open Academy.
The previously tense atmosphere was suddenly dissipated.
Lu Xiangqing laughed too and continued teaching.
He did not express support or refute any viewpoints, rely presented history: “Kaidao lineage successfully created the Channel-opening Pill formula, with imnse rit, regarded as the second-generation Human Emperor candidate, admired by all. They established the sacred na ‘Kaidao’ for their lineage…
But an evil deed in one morning, cannot be erased in a hundred generations.
A captured human race warrior successfully returned and through innate Divine Skills found their child’s aura on the Kaidao lineage.
The Kaidao lineage killed to silence them.
But the matter was ultimately exposed, their research process on the Channel-opening Pill formula revealed.
The Human Emperor was furious, ordered Cangjie to bring them to justice, and held a public trial with three Dao Venerates.
The Kaidao lineage was indignant, killed Cangjie and fled.
The Human Emperor pursued and killed for three million miles, beheading the Kaidao lineage at Huanyang Mountain…
Thus erasing their na, not spoken of in ancient and modern tis.”
Jiang Wang fell silent.
Only their deeds recorded but not their na. This was the attitude of the Human Emperor.
So the achievent of creating the Channel-opening Pill formula remained a suspended piece of history, never claid by another. Yet the creator of the formula remains absent from any records.
Hence the person was erased, but the sacred na of the Kaidao lineage still passed through ti by word of mouth.
Lu Xiangqing concluded: “Suirenshi said: ‘The rits and faults of the Kaidao lineage, I cannot speak of them, history tells itself.’, this statent is not in history but scattered among the notes of Confucianist Gate sages… I too cannot speak of the rits and faults of the Kaidao lineage; for those who speak now, it is too early. Jiang Wang said history already has the answer, but I find it unlikely. Let ti decide in the distant future!”
This was a course that inspired deep reflection.
Lu Xiangqing said he would teach “Righteousness,” but he did not give “Righteousness” a precise explanation.
He certainly had his own sense of “Righteousness,” but he did not express it.
He rely used the tale of the Kaidao lineage to provoke students’ own thinking.
Yet, how can “Righteousness” not reside in every person’s hearts?
How could the origin of “Righteousness” not differ in every person’s heart?
Following Lu Xiangqing’s lecture on the differences between the thirty-six types of Textual Energy in Confucianism, he focused more on the fundantal application of Qiankun Clear Qi.
Combining the earlier battle with Zhou Xiong, Jiang Wang greatly benefited.
But the real focus, despite paying serious attention to these “Skills,” what lingered in his mind remained “Kaidao lineage” as a sacred na.
He could never forget the deep-rooted recognition in San Shan City, utterly shattered in an instant.
And Fierce Beasts requiring human energy for nurturing, the tributary system built between small countries and large nations based on the Channel-opening Pill… These bloody realities are judgnts he still doesn’t know how to make.
The Channel-opening Pill threaded throughout human race history truly possesses the most complex undertones.
And it runs through his life experiences.
Truly intoxicating.
…
On his official first day of further study at Under Jixuegong, Jiang Wang attended courses on Daoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.
Earlier on the second day, he left at 1 a.m.
Individually choosing courses in Martial Arts, Moism, and Legal Studies.
Incidentally, Xie Baoshu was also present in these three classes, which was quite the coincidence. Not knowing whether to say he was diligent or if it was just neighborly camaraderie… In any case, Xie Baoshu displayed a face of bewildernt, struggling greatly to contain himself.
At the end of the martial arts class, he dashed first from the field, completely avoiding any encounter with the newly appointed Marquis Wu’an.
