First Lord of Earth

(Note: This chapter writes some theories related to "Xin Xue" to improve Wang Yangming's "personality", because its positioning in the next stage is very important. However, the author's own understanding is limited. Although he has written as much as possible, some of it may still be wrong. It’s a bit obscure and hard to understand, so I hope you’ll forgive me... I’ll try my best to revise and adjust the text to make it easier to understand...)

"Is this where Mr. Yangming is?"

Ten minutes later.

I looked at the "Dragon Field" plaque hanging in front of me, but overall it looked unremarkable, even a bit crude.

A look of surprise appeared on Xia Tian's face.

If the "Baiyujing Talent Recruitment Hall" is one of the most eye-catching buildings in the entire city of outstanding people, then this inn is the least eye-catching one.

Because there are a large number of territorial "recruitment halls" in the entire city of outstanding people, and there are also many extraordinary objects accompanying outstanding people, all of which are shining brightly.

Even with all kinds of visions.

But the appearance of this "station" is so ordinary and ordinary that no one cares about it at all.

"However, no matter how high the mountain is, there will be immortals if there are immortals. No matter how deep the water is, there will be spirits if there are dragons... What's more, there is more than just a dragon living here, it is definitely a real 'Dragon God'..."

Xia Tian sighed in his heart.

Because he is the master of "Xinxue" in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shouren (Yangming), who is regarded by many as the last "sage" in China for five thousand years.

In terms of popularity and fame, Wang Yangming is not much worse than Zhuge Liang. In terms of personal "merits" in a certain field, he may even be slightly better. Overall, his potential is definitely on the same level as Zhuge Liang, and among the super talents in the entire China. It is rare!

Even not only in China, but also in the surrounding areas such as Samsung Country and Sakura Country, "Wang's Mind Learning" also has a large number of followers.

To elaborate, the number of Wang Yangming’s “disciples” from ancient times to the present is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions!

In comparison, as a lord, he can only control a hundred thousand people so far.

If Wang Yangming really came to visit him in person, it would be too much of a "big request".

Therefore, after thinking about it, Xia Tian decided to let Tang Bohu lead the way and come to "visit" in person!

"Brother Yangming, this is Lord Xia...I'm sorry, I really can't persuade him to stop!"

After entering Longchang Inn, Tang Bohu said with a slightly wry smile.

"Lord Bai Yujing has met Mr. Yangming in Xia Tian!"

Xia Tian made eye contact with Wang Yangming who stood up to greet the two of them.

I just feel that the other person's eyes are as deep as the heaven and the earth, and a pair of eyes seems to contain everything in the world, the sun, the moon and the stars!

Many people think that Wang Yangming’s philosophy of mind is actually “idealism”!

Just like the understanding of Neo-Confucianism "preserving natural principles and destroying human desires" is "eliminate human nature and eliminate all desires."

In fact, "preserve nature's principles and eliminate human desires" means that as human beings, we should "follow the laws of nature and not be dominated by excessive desires, so that we indulge in enjoyment and wantonly squander and waste social resources."

Similarly, mind science, as a theory that is talked about by a large number of people, is naturally not that simple.

In essence, the purpose of Xinxue is that people need to cultivate their inner minds in order to truly understand the external world and reflect the true meaning of "the way of heaven".

He believes that the external world is one of the important factors that affects people's inner world. It must complement the inner world and integrate knowledge and action in order to reach the highest state of human beings!

The Song and Ming dynasties were an era when philosophy blossomed again brilliantly after hundreds of Chinese schools of thought, which had a huge influence on later generations.

However, due to the large-scale pursuit of Western culture in modern times, many people cannot help but understand or even sneer at the various theories left by their ancestors.

Little do they know that even in ancient times, the ideological brilliance of a true hero would never be inferior to that of any modern person!

"I feel ashamed to say that my understanding of mind science is only superficial. I wonder if sir, can you teach me?"

After saying something like "I have admired his name for a long time," Xia Tian sat down opposite Wang Shouren and showed an expression asking for advice.

"Since Lord Xia is interested in 'Xin Xue', I will naturally tell you everything!"

Wang Yangming's face was shining with a faint smile.

Both of them knew in their hearts that this was a "feeling" for each other.

Although, Wang Yangming is a super hero. Moreover, the potential is not inferior to Zhuge Liang.

But if the ideas of the two parties are really at odds, Bai Yujing will definitely have some considerations before sending the "invitation"!

The main reason is that these days, Xia Tian has met some outstanding people who hold their own identities and are arrogant, so they inevitably have some doubts in their hearts.

The character of an outstanding person is not always selfless. In fact, everyone has selfish motives.

It's just that most outstanding people can suppress their evil thoughts, and this happens to be the core of Wang Yangming's "Xin Xue".

"The teacher once said that there is no good or disgusting body, there are good and evil actions, knowing good and evil is conscience, doing good and eliminating evil is the pursuit of things! He also believes that a person should 'unify knowledge and action' and 'achieve conscience'... I don't know the difference between the two. What’s the explanation?”

Xia Tian asked.

"Although the heart dominates one body, it actually governs the principles of the world; although principles are scattered in all things, it is really no more than one person's heart. The external heart is to seek principles, and this knowledge and action are twofold. Seeking principles in my heart, this is The teaching of combining knowledge and action!"

Very good, normal people probably can’t understand it.

"To achieve good conscience is to 'remove evil and do good'. Being good to one person is a small good; being good to ten thousand people is a great good; being good to all living beings is a great achievement!"

Wang Yangming nodded and said.

"Mr. Yangming, you are so courageous..."

Xia Tian understood that the "all living beings" in Wang Yangming's words did not only refer to human beings, but also to broadly refer to hundreds of millions of races.

In other words, in Wang Yangming's mind, the true "realm of great achievements" for a lord is not only to control the human race, but to control all races and guide them to "do good".

"Yes, all living beings can learn the way of learning from the heart! Even aliens can become 'saints' as long as they have 'good roots'!

What Wang Yangming said.

Let Xia Tian frown slightly.

"This sounds similar to what Buddhism says: 'As long as you put down the butcher's knife, everyone can become a Buddha'?"

"Buddhism is based on the principle of no good and no evil, so he ignores everything and cannot rule the world. The sage has no good and no evil, but does not do good or evil, and does not remain in the spirit. This is the difference between entering the world and transcending the world. There is a difference between saving the world and saving a heart!”

Wang Yangming shook his head.

Xia Tian understood in his heart.

Wang Yangming shows that his "Xin Xue" is not like a religion like "Buddhism" and is not harmful to a territory.

There are even great benefits.

after all. What Xin Xue pays attention to is "leading to conscience" and "unity of knowledge and action".

The most important thing is that Wang Yangming is not just a theory, the key is that he also realizes all the theories.

In addition to spreading knowledge and serving as an official to benefit the people, he also put down the civil unrest that had plagued Jiangxi for decades, including the Sien rebellion in the south, the Tanyao rebellion in Tianzhou, and the Duanteng Gorge bandits... He even put down the most famous people in history. "Prince Ning's Rebellion"!

Well, it's worth mentioning.

At that time, in order to rebel, King Ning specially invited some literati to serve as his staff, and the famous Tang Bohu, who was dismissed from his official career by the "Faint King", was naturally his first target.

However, Tang Bohu was smart, after realizing King Ning's intention.

He did not hesitate to pretend to be crazy and act stupid, even stripping naked in front of his servants. With his superb acting skills, he made King Ning really believe that he was crazy and was kicked out of the palace. Only then did he escape and did not fall into the fate of King Luo Bin.

It was precisely because Tang Bohu and Wang Yangming belonged to the "hostile camp" in a sense that Xia Tian did not expect that Tang Bohu's friend would turn out to be this super hero!

"Does Mr. Wang Yangming think that everything we see is related to the 'heart'?"

Xia Tian changed the topic.

"Lord Xia, look at this flower. Did you know about it before coming to Bisha?"

Wang Yangming had a slight smile on his face, and then pointed to a narcissus flower blooming in the wind next to the pavilion and said.

"Of course I don't know!"

"Now that you see it, what color is it?"

"It's yellow and white!"

"When you don't look at this flower, this flower and your heart are silent together; when you look at this flower, the color of this flower becomes clear for a moment. You will know that this flower moves according to your heart!"

Wang Yangming smiled brightly and said.

Xia Tian is thoughtful.

"Lord Xia, look, when I think the place I live in is a thatched cottage, this place is a thatched cottage to me. And when I think this should be a royal palace, this is also a royal palace. The place of the heart To, the transformation of things..."

And Wang Yangming continued.

The next moment, I saw the surrounding environment change. The original simple and crude inn first turned into a thatched cottage with bare walls and drafty walls.

Then, it suddenly turned into a magnificent and magnificent palace, with cranes dancing and spiritual beasts flying on the tall golden pillars!

Everything changes according to Wang Yangming’s thoughts!

Hiss, could it be said that this inn actually does not exist at all.

Rather, was it transformed by Wang Yangming's own power? How powerful is this spiritual power?

"what's the situation?"

"Well, look at that house!"

"Hey, why didn't we notice that there was a house here before... Hey, Longchang Inn? This name sounds familiar!"

"Great, we finally have traces of a super hero. Go and visit us quickly. Even if you don't have a jade white invitation and are not qualified to recruit, you should still be able to get some benefits!"

Some nearby lords who were looking for outstanding figures seemed to have finally noticed something, with surprise and excitement on their faces.

Obviously, not only Xia Tian himself, but also the other lords would find it difficult to find traces of the "super hero"!

"Mr. Yangming, have you reached the extraordinary level?"

Xia Tian is also a little surprised.

He has now reached the limit of eight transformations, but when facing Wang Yangming at the beginning, he could not detect the depth.

But at this time, Wang Yangming gave him a different feeling of a different level of life, like a full moon in the water. He was clearly in front of him, but far away in the horizon, elusive. Only where his own mind and thoughts passed, Everything is changing.

This is most likely the legendary extraordinary level!

"Extraordinary is just the starting point."

Wang Yangming has something to say.

Immediately, his own aura dissipated, and the surrounding environment once again transformed into a simple inn.

Does this mean it's not ordinary extraordinary?

"To be honest, sir, I have been suffering from a lack of 'mental power' recently, and my cultivation has been stuck in a bottleneck state and I am unable to break through. I wonder if Mr. Yangming can teach me?"

Xia Tian's heart moved and he said with expectation.

"Sir, do you know what 'heart' is?"

Wang Yangming looked at Xia Tian and said.

"The heart! Wherever there is consciousness, there is the heart!"

"The heart is the master of the body. Although the eyes see, they see, so the heart is; although the ears hear, they hear, so the heart; Although the mouth and limbs move, they speak, so they move."

Seeing that Xia Tian was lost in thought, he spoke again, his words carrying a mysterious and mysterious flavor.

But fortunately, after all, Xia Tian has received many years of modern education, and he has browsed various martial arts secret books and ancient pre-Qin books these days. Although it is a little taxing to understand, it is not difficult.

What surprised Xia Tian was that Wang Yangming's words seemed to have some kind of power. When he thought about them, his "mind" seemed to be stimulated, and there was a change.

"Hiss, is there any relationship between 'mind science' and cultivating the 'power of mind'?"

Xia Tian's heart was shocked, and then she was overjoyed.

Just because of the bottleneck that had been bothering me for several days, just because of Wang Yangming's few words, I felt a sense of relief and relief!

Should I say that I am worthy of being called the "Sage King"?

"'Heart' is 'my spirit', and it is too empty. In the great void, the sun, moon, stars, stars, wind, dew, thunder, lightning... what is not there?! My spirit is there! He is the master of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, he is in charge of heaven and earth, and he nurtures all things, and there is nothing outside of my heart!”

Wang Yangming continued to speak.

The sound was not loud, but when it reached Xia Tian's ears, every word was like a holy sound.

It seemed that he only felt the changes in his surrounding environment, and he seemed to have turned into a "god", wandering between heaven and earth.

The control over one's own body and soul rapidly increases.

At the same time, his own "mental power" increases like mushrooms after a rain!

"Well, are you so 'talented'?"

Even Wang Yangming moved slightly, a little surprised.

Just because his "mind science" is indeed helpful in improving people's mental strength, but how much benefit can be obtained depends on oneself.

Generally speaking, even if you "preach" in person, it may take a certain amount of time for ordinary people to understand "Xin Xue", and it is even more difficult to last.

Xia Tian was already immersed in it without hearing a few words.

What’s more, he quickly comprehends and continuously absorbs the nutrients of “mind learning” to nourish his own “mind”!

[Because of your ‘Genius’ characteristic, you enter a state of enlightenment, and your understanding of ‘Xin Xue’ is enhanced... Because of your ‘Learning from others’ characteristics, you accelerate your grasp of the essence of ‘Xin Xue’ through thinking...]

What Wang Yangming didn’t know was.

For people who have received modern education, their ability to learn and understand is definitely much stronger than that of most ancient people.

What's more important is that there are reminders in Xia Tian's mind. The effect of the combination of characteristics of "Learning from others' strengths + the appearance of a genius" is far more powerful than imagined!

However, Xia Tian's attention is not on the prompts of the earth's will at this time.

Because, with his own "power of mind", he broke through the bottleneck.

His "body" and "spirit", which had already reached the limit of eight transformations, broke through the obstacles in an instant like a torrent and entered a newer level. The spiritual power of the entire "Longchang Station" was even more vast. It was attracted by him mightily and turned into a vortex-shaped spiritual power cloud. The lower end turned into a dragon shape and poked out from it, drilling into the body of Xia Tian who was sitting cross-legged on the square!

The whole person, from top to bottom, from the inside out, finally begins the last "transformation" of the mortal stage.

"What's going on? Is there something going on again?"

The "Dragon Field Station" was discovered around them, but they found it impossible to enter, and all the eager human lords were there.

At this time, everyone's eyes widened.

"What a powerful aura! This feeling is similar to those of the 'Dragon Whale Tribe' near me who were born with nine transformations. No, it feels even more powerful. Could it be that Wang Yangming broke through to the extraordinary level?"

Some lords with strong perception ability had some changes in their faces.

Even the eyes of some outstanding figures in the nearby area were attracted.

The key is that it seems that the breakthrough in the "Dragon Field" triggered certain characteristics, so that in addition to the gathering of a large amount of spiritual power for initiation, another strange phenomenon appeared.

A human figure with fluttering silver robes rides on a yellow dragon, floating in the sky on a spiritual vortex, overlooking the entire city of outstanding people. Its face is 70% similar to Xia Tian, ​​but more majestic and domineering!

"What's going on? Such a situation. The technique this person practices is probably extraordinary!"

"What courage and courage. He rises to the sky with a dragon and dominates the world! Are you trying to imitate the ancient Yellow Emperor? He seems to be a lord. Among the lords, there is also someone whose courage is comparable to the ancient emperors of the ages?"

Some outstanding people with talents and characteristics such as "Wangqi" can't help but have thoughtful eyes.
