#235 - New Confucian Luofu! I, Luofu, will establish a school of thought and become a saint!
Luo Fu didn't know at the time that the fingers of the hands he saw within the Tensaigan were indeed from the Soul King.
Back then, the Soul King volunteered to sacrifice himself. Apart from the sealed torso, from the very beginning, the Soul King had his arms, symbolizing 'advance' and 'stillness,' severed. After that, his heart was extracted, his feet were cut off, and his internal organs were taken away, leaving only a human stick-like husk permanently sealed in the Soul King Palace.
However, the Soul King's power did not disappear but continued to flow in the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the human world in the form of avatars and hosts.
The Soul King's right arm is entrusted to Jushiro Ukitake, the captain of the Thirteenth Division of the Gotei 13; the left arm is with Pernida Parnkgjas; the heart is Gerard Valkyrie; the lock is Aura Michibane; and the other fragments formed Fullbring, or rather, Fullbring is the symbol of the other fragments of the Soul King himself.
Even Yhwach himself is suspected to be the power or descendant of the Soul King's shattered self.
Only the Soul King's fingers were entrusted to Rangiku Matsumoto, and by a twist of fate, they were obtained by Aizen, who then developed the special power of the Hogyoku.
The so-called power of the Hogyoku, which can evolve people and even materialize the desires of the host's heart, is essentially a manifestation of the abilities of the Soul King's hands, representing advancement and stillness.
After all, the Soul King's abilities have truly reached the realm of philosophical concepts.
Evolution itself is advancement, and the process of materializing according to the heart's image is a combination of advancement and stillness.
It's just that Luo Fu, who doesn't understand this point yet, has missed the opportunity to understand the essence of the Soul King's power.
In the world of Bleach, a power struggle comparable to the Three Kingdoms period is unfolding.
Qin Dynasty World.
The era before the opening of Tian Xing Jiu Ge (Nine Songs of the Moving Heavens).
After returning from the shared space, Luo Fu was not in a hurry to seek revenge on the branch of Zisi Confucianism.
After all, he now has great strength at most, but in terms of the ideological system, it must be admitted.
The guys in the shared space, whether old members or the Super God Luo Fu and Joy of Life Luo Fu who joined at the same time, failed to bring him much help.
In this era, without a unique, logically consistent, and theoretically sound set of doctrines of his own, even if Luo Fu could defeat 99% of the warriors in the world, he would still only receive the evaluation of a martial artist.
And would not become the Luo Zi, Fu Zi, or Luo Fu Zi of his dreams.
Of course, the biggest benefit brought to him by the shared space is that Luo Fu's memory has become increasingly clear. The sights and sounds of his previous life can now be dug out from the depths of his brain or soul.
On this point, it must be admitted that although Bleach Luo Fu may not have brought Luo Fu much power, the strength of the soul has enabled him to achieve the incredible ability of astral projection in a Xuanhuan Wuxia world like Qin's Moon.
However, the most crucial thing is the numerous memories of his previous life brought about by the strength of his soul.
Taking Confucianism's morality, benevolence, and righteousness as the exterior, and putting on the modern Marxist-Leninist materialist ideology, the combination of the two, although somewhat bizarre, surprisingly achieved logical consistency and theoretical perfection.
After returning from the shared space, Luo Fu began to continuously improve his patchwork theory.
While retreating to perfect his own doctrine, Luo Fu did not lower his pursuit of strength.
Relying on the various things shared, Luo Fu has suddenly leaped to an incredible realm.
The abilities brought by ninjutsu were gradually transformed into spells by Luo Fu. Don't forget that there are spells in the Qin Dynasty world, and even a variant of Wood Release, Thousand Flying Flowers, exists.
Manipulating water, fire, wind, and thunder is even more unnecessary to mention. As for the Star Breathing from the Demon World, although it has gradually become outdated in front of other Luo Fus and must either be innovated or shelved, it is the ability that Qin Dynasty Luo Fu has localized in the shortest amount of time.
Even in terms of power, perhaps because the Qin Dynasty world itself is a world of famous swords, the various sword forms of the Star Breathing Technique are several times stronger than the original version in terms of power.
After roughly completing the theoretical construction of his own Luo Fu Confucianism, but with his strength becoming more and more solid, Luo Fu couldn't wait to come out of the mountains.
Although his theory still has many loopholes, it is undeniable that building a cart behind closed doors cannot create a perfect doctrine.
Luo Fu's doctrine is indeed based on modern Marxist-Leninist materialism as the core, with a Confucian exterior, but it is not really completely moving towards the path of materialism. After all, Luo Fu has mixed in too many things. In addition to modern Marxist-Leninist materialism, even the smattering of Yangming's philosophy of mind and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism were stuffed into his doctrine system by Luo Fu.
Although doing so did make Luo Fu's doctrine bloated and even created many logical contradictions.
But these shortcomings and loopholes need Luo Fu to gradually improve in the debates with others.
Luo Fu, who came out of the mountains, naturally had to find someone to kick the venue first.
Among them, don't look at the Diplomats, it seems that there are only two swordsmen, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie.
But in fact, the active period of the Diplomats has just passed, and now is the stage of silence.
Yes, at about the same time that Luo Fu was expelled from the sect by the branch of Zisi Confucianism, the six countries of Shandong carried out the last alliance against Qin.
And that time was also the last glory of the previous generation of disciples of the Diplomats. After that, the Guiguzi of the Diplomats accepted Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, two pure swordsman disciples.
Although in terms of Vertical Sword Technique and Horizontal Sword Technique, the two of them are indeed considered to have shocking talent, but in terms of the doctrine of the Diplomats, they seem to have not inherited anything at all.
Gai Nie of the Vertical Sword Technique simply joined the Great Qin Dynasty and became the sword technique teacher of the future Emperor Qin Shi Huang, while Wei Zhuang even became a black society boss in Xinzheng, South Korea.
It has to be admitted that in terms of martial arts, the disciples of the Diplomats may indeed have reached the point of surpassing their predecessors, but in terms of doctrine, the Diplomats are almost like a generational gap.
The Diplomats cannot be found now, so Luo Fu naturally has to exclude the Diplomats from the targets he can choose.
Among the two major conspicuous schools, the Mo family's Organ City is not easy to find, and the Six-Fingered Black Man's whereabouts are uncertain.
Luo Fu can only choose the Confucian family, with whom he has both new and old grudges, as a target.
Don't look at the future, after the Great Qin unified the world, the Yin Yang family was prosperous for a while, but in fact, the current Yin Yang family is stronger than those small schools in the Hundred Schools of Thought, but it is still at the bottom in front of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, etc.
Who made the Yin Yang family, who is suspected of just coming out of the mountains, just experienced a devastating blow from their nemesis Mo family, and even the Illusion Sound Treasure Box, the treasure of inheritance, was snatched away by the Mo family?
The current Yin Yang family is in its weakest state and has been excluded from the beginning by Luo Fu.
Decided to go to the Confucian family to challenge the venue.
Luo Fu immediately launched an action with swift and decisive action.
Now, under the surge of strength, he went all the way towards the direction of Qi State. On the road, whether it was a petty thief or a martial arts expert, none of them were Luo Fu's match.
Luo Fu not only went all the way towards Xiaoshengxianzhuang like a bulldozer, but he also directly put up his signboard.
Although he did not carry a banner like a flamboyant show to show that he was going to challenge the Confucian family, Luo Fu had already spread the word along the way that Luo Fu, the abandoned disciple of Zisi Confucianism, was about to go to the Confucian holy land, Xiaoshengxianzhuang, to discuss the Confucian Dao with the Confucian sages.
If Luo Fu had quietly disappeared along the way, then that would be all. Such rumors could not stand much scrutiny at all.
It would not even cause much waves.
But unfortunately, Luo Fu completely bulldozed his way along this road. Whether it was the mountain villages along the way or the encountered villains, they either died in Luo Fu's hands or were sent to the local government office by Luo Fu.
With such a style of hating evil and strong strength, in a very short period of time, Luo Fu's every move has become the target of attention in the world.
Sanghai City, Qi State.
Inside Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
The residence of Xunzi in the backyard.
Han Fei, as a disciple of Xunzi, is playing chess with Xunzi.
"Teacher, I have packed up and am ready to leave." During the chess game, Han Fei took the initiative to say.
Since he had the strange dream one after another before, Han Fei's desire to return to South Korea has become stronger and stronger.
However, he is also the son of South Korea. Even if South Korea is now the weakest existence among the seven countries, studying in Xiaoshengxianzhuang in Sanghai City, and also being a disciple of Xunzi, Han Fei will not leave alone and just leave like that.
At the very least, before leaving, he must also deal with his affairs in Sanghai City.
In this era, parting is the most important thing.
The truth is, a seemingly insignificant farewell might become a true separation of life and death, even for martial arts experts.
Not to mention Han Fei, a frail scholar who, although possessing his own school of thought and integrating the "law," "techniques," and "authority" of the three pre-Qin Legalist sages, Shang Yang, Shen Dao, and Shen Buhai, thus mastering the essence of Legalism, is completely unskilled in martial arts.
Xun Kuang nodded slightly upon hearing this, and said, "It seems you are truly prepared, but your return to the country this time is fraught with uncertainty, so you must be careful in everything."
"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher," Han Fei bowed slightly.
After discussing his return to the country, Han Fei suddenly thought of the widely spread news about Luo Fu, the abandoned disciple of Zisi's Confucianism, during this period.
Casually placing a chess piece, Han Fei asked, "Teacher, do you know about the matter of Luo Fu, the abandoned disciple of Zisi's Confucianism?"
"That little fellow is a formidable character," Xun Kuang couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone, saying, "It's rare for the Zisi lineage to produce such an interesting fellow."
It's no wonder Xun Kuang felt a bit of schadenfreude.
Although Xun Kuang would be revered as a later sage by Confucianism in the future, at present, Xun Kuang is an outlier within Confucianism.
Even his own doctrines and philosophies are incompatible with Confucianism.
This can be easily judged from the complex attitude of contemporary Confucian disciples towards Xun Kuang, given that Xun Kuang, a Confucian later sage, consecutively taught two Legalist giants, Han Fei and Li Si.
Han Fei and Li Si were just the more famous ones among Xun Kuang's disciples; the remaining Confucian disciples under Xun Kuang were either completely unknown or simply resembled disciples of other schools of thought.
Zhang Cang, who served as prime minister during the Western Han Dynasty, was probably the closest to Confucianism in terms of ideology among Xun Kuang's disciples; besides him, there was Chen Xiao, who, although a disciple of Xun Kuang, studied military strategy under Xun Kuang.
As a Confucian master himself, yet incompatible with Confucianism, Xun Kuang naturally couldn't help but feel a bit of amusement when he saw a little fellow claiming to be an abandoned disciple of Zisi's Confucianism charging straight towards the Little Sage Village to challenge them.
"Teacher, although this Luo Fu claims to be an abandoned disciple of Zisi's Confucianism, his actions along the way don't seem like those of a Confucian disciple!" Han Fei said strangely.
In Han Fei's eyes, Luo Fu's actions were nothing like those of a Confucian; instead, they were more like those of the Mohist knights of the Mohist school.
Drawing his sword at the sight of injustice!
Along the way, not to mention the various strongmen and bandits that Luo Fu sent to the local government offices, the number of people who died at Luo Fu's hands was countless.
The romance of the Warring States period belonged to the upper class, while the common people could be described as living in utter misery.
It should be known that when Han Fei returned to his country, he encountered orphans in dilapidated villages near the capital of Han, Xin Zheng, which shows how dire the living environment of ordinary people was at that time.
"Then what do you think a Confucian disciple should be like?" Xun Kuang looked at Han Fei with a smile and asked, "Should they still be lecturing the Confucian classics to those bandits who are about to chop their heads off?"
Han Fei was immediately embarrassed. Although he knew that Xun Kuang's words made sense, upon careful thought, Han Fei couldn't connect what he had heard about Luo Fu's actions with a Confucian disciple.
Seeming to understand Han Fei's thoughts, Xun Kuang said while casually placing a chess piece, "Since you are interested in this Luo Fu, then you might as well stay for a few days. You are returning to the country alone, so delaying it for a few days won't matter. Meet this Luo Fu in person, and indulge your curiosity before returning!"
After thinking about it, Han Fei nodded. He was indeed interested in Luo Fu, who claimed to be an abandoned disciple of Confucianism.
After all, almost all the disciples under Xun Kuang can be considered outliers of Confucianism.
And now, a fellow who is out of place has actually appeared under Zisi's Confucianism, and Han Fei unconsciously felt a sense of inexplicable closeness in his heart.
This is also because, although Han Fei studied at the Little Sage Village, within the Little Sage Village, there is a deep gap between Xun Kuang's disciples, especially Han Fei, Li Si, and others who are incompatible with Confucianism, and other Confucian disciples.
The various factions of Confucianism are certainly united when facing provocations from other schools of thought, but unity is conditional.
It's like various branches with inherent contradictions naturally hope that others will fail when facing provocations, so that they can come out and clean up the mess.
At this moment, Han Fei is almost holding such a mentality.
No matter when, unifying thoughts is the most difficult thing, and it has always been so throughout history.
Within Confucianism, Xun Kuang's thoughts and his disciples have always been disliked by other Confucian disciples.
Who told Xun Kuang to be a rare person in Confucianism who advocates the inherent evil of human nature?
Within the Little Sage Village of Confucianism, Xun Kuang's identity is actually more like a signboard.
Except for disciples like Li Si and Han Fei, other Confucian disciples do not respect Xun Kuang as much as one might imagine.
Han Fei, a Confucian disciple, has already deviated to Legalism, so he naturally hopes that Confucianism can make a fool of itself. Although Han Fei is a disciple of the Confucian master Xun Kuang, he himself does not particularly like Confucianism.
Otherwise, Han Fei would not have specifically said in his work "Five Vermin" that "Confucians disrupt the law with literature, and knights violate prohibitions with martial arts."
Luo Fu, on the other hand, is sweeping towards the Little Sage Village, and the commotion on the road is naturally getting bigger and bigger.
Although some petty thieves and those with good connections have avoided Luo Fu in advance, Luo Fu's actions along the way have attracted more and more attention as time goes by.
Outside Sanghai City, in a small town.
Gazing in the direction of Luo Fu.
A figure wearing a black robe was sitting in a shop facing the street in the town, looking out of the town from time to time.
"According to calculations, that abandoned Confucian disciple Luo Fu should be arriving here soon, right?"
The black-robed man casually asked the figure with yellow hair next to him.
The yellow-haired man followed the black-robed man's gaze and glanced at the rammed earth road outside the town, where countless philosophers and spies from various countries had gathered in twos and threes, and then lowered his voice and said, "Reporting to the Chief, according to the time calculation, that Luo Fu is indeed almost here."
At this moment, these two black-robed men who had been waiting in the street-facing shop for an unknown amount of time were none other than the current Mohist Chief, the Six-Fingered Hei Xia, and the yellow-haired man next to him was one of the Mohist leaders, known as the world's number one thief, the King of Thieves, Dao Zhi.
In addition to the Six-Fingered Hei Xia and the Mohists, this small town, which was originally just a temporary stop when heading to Sanghai City, is now secretly hiding farmers, Taoists, soldiers, doctors... and even reclusive Yin-Yang family disciples.
In addition to the philosophers, various national forces have also sent many people to hide in the town.
This small town is just a choice for various interested people to contact Luo Fu in advance, after all, once Luo Fu enters Sanghai City, then as the host.
Even if Luo Fu comes as a challenger, the Confucian school, which advocates the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn period, will properly arrange all aspects of Luo Fu.
And at that time, if the philosophers want to contact Luo Fu again, they will have to take into account the face of the host, the Confucian school.
Who told them that it is still a period of strife among the nations?
Only when the Great Qin unifies the world in the future will it truly achieve overwhelming power, and now, the philosophers are still very influential even in the courts of various countries.
For example, the leaders of the two major schools of Confucianism and Mohism, if they travel to various countries, as long as they make their identities clear, they even need the king of a country to personally meet them!
In troubled times, the bottom-level common people do live in dire straits, living a life worse than death. But those school leaders, and even the dignitaries of various countries, are living quite well.
Just like Jade Tiger, a wealthy merchant in the weakest country of South Korea, is living an extremely comfortable life.
As time passed, it was nearing dusk.
Luo Fu's figure finally appeared in the sight of the philosophers and spies from various countries.
"Chief, Luo Fu is here." Seeing Luo Fu from afar, Dao Zhi reminded him immediately.
The Six-Fingered Hei Xia couldn't help but look at Luo Fu curiously.
In fact, the reason why the Six-Fingered Hei Xia is so concerned about Luo Fu, and even at the cost of his position as Chief, putting aside the current crucial plan of uniting against Qin, is to personally go to Qi to meet Luo Fu.
The reason is that Luo Fu's actions along the way are simply too in line with the Mohist definition of chivalry.
The Six-Fingered Hei Xia even suspects that Luo Fu was only expelled from Zisi's Confucian school and became an abandoned Confucian disciple because he was too compliant with the Mohist philosophy.
Such a strong seed with great strength and such recognition of the Mohist philosophy, and even practicing it all the way, the Six-Fingered Hei Xia certainly did not hesitate to come and meet him in person.
Compared to the Six-Fingered Hei Xia, through Luo Fu's actions, he saw in Luo Fu's body a behavior that was extremely in line with the Mohist knight.
Other philosophers are more concerned about Luo Fu's own strength.
It should be known that along the way, Luo Fu swept away countless petty thieves, and countless mountain villages were swept away by Luo Fu with his single sword.
Most importantly, this series of brilliant achievements were all achieved by Luo Fu with his own strength.
The most exaggerated time was when Luo Fu single-handedly swept away a mountain village with three thousand young men.
Although the three thousand young men were not properly trained and were just a rabble, Luo Fu's exaggerated battle record made him famous in one battle.
At this moment, in this small town, in addition to the spies from the various schools of thought and the states, even the Net, which had already surrendered to the Great Qin, had sent assassins over. Of course, the assassins from the Net were not targeting Luo Fu, but wanted to see if there was any possibility of recruiting Luo Fu.
After all, Luo Fu's strength was too exaggerated, but he was just an abandoned disciple of Confucianism. Apart from his strength, there was not much that the Net cared about.
The most critical point was that Luo Fu did not become an obstacle to the Net and the Qin State.
"What a young child." After seeing Luo Fu's appearance, Six-Fingered Black Man couldn't help but sigh.
Upon hearing this, Dao Zhi immediately said, "Giant, do you want me to invite him over?"
Six-Fingered Black Man hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "Now, in this small town, I don't know how many people are staring at Luo Fu, so don't act rashly for the time being. Even if you want to recruit him into my Mohist school, you have to wait until after he debates with Confucianism."
At this moment, in the small town, I don't know how many people have the same thoughts as Six-Fingered Black Man.
Recruit Luo Fu, but don't appear so eager.
At the very least, wait until after Luo Fu debates with Confucianism.
Luo Fu naturally felt that in this small town, I don't know how many people were paying attention to him.
However, this was precisely Luo Fu's purpose. After all, if Luo Fu wanted to consolidate his own theory, he naturally had to open his doors wide. And if he wanted to attract talents, fame was the most crucial thing.
And these spies gathered in the small town, from the various schools of thought and the states, were the best tools for Luo Fu to promote his fame.
Luo Fu not only didn't think there were too many people, but even felt that there were a little too few.
Although the sky was approaching dusk, Luo Fu had no intention of staying in this small town.
This small town was not far from Sanghai City itself.
It was a necessary route to Sanghai City, for people going to Sanghai City to rest.
However, Luo Fu was alone with his sword. Instead of resting in this small town, it was better to go directly to Sanghai City. Moreover, in detail, the Confucian Xiaoshengxianzhuang had already made preparations to welcome Luo Fu's arrival.
Crossing the small town, Luo Fu went straight to Sanghai City.
In the small town.
Inside a remote room.
Two slightly green young girls were gathering together.
"Sister, it seems that this abandoned Confucian disciple is really eager to attack Confucianism." The purple-haired girl said gloatingly.
"It's just a debate." The girl with the temperament of a noble lady and black hair like a waterfall glanced at the purple-haired girl and said, "Did you just stare at Luo Fu just now?"
The purple-haired girl was stunned and said in surprise, "Did sister discover something?"
"Didn't you notice that the Mohists are also here? Moreover, it is likely that the Mohist giant, Six-Fingered Black Man, has arrived in person."
Suddenly startled, the purple-haired girl said, "Six-Fingered Black Man, how could he? Could it be that he is going to target our Yin Yang family again?"
These two girls are the future Dong Jun, Fei Yan, and Yue Shen of the Yin Yang family.
However, compared to the future Dong Jun, Fei Yan, the Crown Princess of Yan, and Yue Shen, the National Guardian of the Great Qin, they are still quite young now.
It is completely a look of being new to the world.
Don't look at the future Yin Yang family, relying on the power of the Great Qin, running rampant and recklessly, even the Mohist organ city was destroyed under the Yin Yang family's targeting.
But at this stage, the Mohist family can completely hang up and beat the Yin Yang family.
You must know that the reason why the Yin Yang family has been avoiding the world for so many years is because they suffered a cruel blow from the Mohist family back then. Even the sect's treasure, the Illusion Sound Treasure Box, has now been thrown into the forbidden area of the organ city by the Mohist family.
It is no wonder that when Dong Jun, Fei Yan, mentioned that she noticed the existence of the Mohist giant, Six-Fingered Black Man, it would make Yue Shen so uneasy.
Shaking her head, Dong Jun, Fei Yan, said, "My Yin Yang family has been avoiding the world for many years, and now it is just preparing to be born. How could the Mohist family know of our existence? This time, the Mohist giant must also be here for Luo Fu. After all, this Luo Fu's actions are too much like a Mohist Xia!"
"But... Luo Fu is a Confucian disciple." Yue Shen said in surprise.
"Even Luo Fu himself is playing the banner of an abandoned Confucian disciple. Moreover, even if Luo Fu is a Confucian disciple, so what? Don't forget that the Mohist ancestor, Mo Di, was also a Confucian disciple, but later he created the Mohist family that was enough to compete with Confucianism. For the Mohist family, recruiting Confucian disciples is nothing strange." Dong Jun, Fei Yan, sneered, not knowing whether she was laughing at Confucianism or the arch-enemy Mohist family.
Yue Shen was still a little uneasy. Dao: "Sister, Luo Fu has left this small town and is going to Sanghai City, should we also go to Sanghai?"
Glancing at Yue Shen, Dong Jun, Fei Yan, said: "Are you worried that we will be discovered by the Mohist family?"
Lowering her eyes, although Dong Jun's words did hit Yue Shen's heart.
But at this time, how could Yue Shen admit it?
After all, this is the time when the Yin Yang family intends to re-emerge, and Yue Shen and Fei Yan are in a competition with each other. Yue Shen is full of resentment that Fei Yan was named Dong Jun by Dong Huang Taiyi.
How could she take the initiative to admit that she is inferior to Fei Yan? Even her courage is not as good as the other party?
Seeing Yue Shen silent, Dong Jun, Fei Yan, did not continue to打击this sister, but after pondering for a moment, said: "Let's go to Sanghai City too, let's go now."
Yue Shen was startled and hurriedly said: "Sister, we... if we go to Sanghai at this time, what if... what if..."
"Now that the various schools of thought are gathered here, so what if the Mohist family recognizes your and my identities?" Dong Jun, Fei Yan, said with a strong tone of self-confidence: "The Mohist family does not even care about the face of Confucianism, otherwise, they will definitely not attack you and me!! Going to Sanghai at this time, on the contrary, you don't need to worry about conflicting with the Mohist family!"
The moment the voice fell, Dong Jun, Fei Yan, stood up straight away and said, "Let's go."
Yue Shen had no choice but to follow with uneasiness.
As Luo Fu did not stop in the small town, many of the various schools of thought and spies from various countries had to follow Luo Fu's pace.
In Sanghai City.
The current head of Confucianism is not the future Fu Nian, but Fu Nian's master. In terms of seniority, he is a Confucian boss of the same generation as Xunzi.
After learning that Luo Fu had come to Sanghai City so impatiently.
This Confucian head couldn't help but reveal a bit of helplessness.
You must know that if Luo Fu had not been born out of nowhere, it would have been time for the Confucian head to be replaced during this period. And the one selected as the next generation head was none other than the future Fu Nian.
Although Fu Nian is still slightly green now, Confucianism is now in a stage of apparent lack of successors.
Except for one Xunzi, there are almost no disciples who can be produced to suppress one side.
This is also why, although Xunzi is very unwelcome in Confucianism, Xunzi is still highly praised in Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
If Confucianism was now in its heyday, I am afraid that based on Xunzi's ideas and theories, he would either be reduced to a branch of Confucianism, or simply be expelled from the Confucian sect like Luo Fu.
Being in a stage of old age and physical decline, this unknown Confucian head had to brace himself and prepare to meet Luo Fu's challenge after learning of Luo Fu's arrival.
According to seniority and Confucian concepts, Luo Fu, an abandoned disciple of the Zisi Confucian branch, even if he went to Xiaoshengxianzhuang to debate, would not be qualified for the Confucian head to come forward in person. Even if Fu Nian came forward, it would be considered to have given Luo Fu enough face.
But unfortunately, during this period, Luo Fu has been making a commotion that has shaken the seven countries all the way.
His strength and reputation are enough to break the rules of Confucianism and let the contemporary Confucian head personally welcome Luo Fu.
It has to be admitted that Confucianism's seemingly dogmatic rules are actually very flexible in many cases. If it were not so, Confucianism would not have developed so quickly.
The concept and framework of Confucianism are destined to have the ability to be all-encompassing. This is also why Luo Fu will combine his own theories that combine future Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, Yangming Xinxue, and modern Marxist materialism, and put on the Confucian shell.
After the future dismissal of hundreds of schools, most of the theories of hundreds of schools can find traces in the future theories of Confucianism. Not to mention that before the dismissal of hundreds of schools, Confucianism began to cooperate with other Zhuzi Baijia in a lively manner.
Confucianism and Legalism, external Confucianism and internal Legalism, is just the most successful typical example. In addition to this, each branch of Confucianism can be regarded as a product of mutual influence with other theories.
