In the rapidly changing light and shadow, Qiu Yan's consciousness gradually immersed himself in that shijie.

This is not a real shijie, it is just a piece of paper pieced together by relying on the spirit and perception of the sages, and it is an illusory memory.

However, the scene presented by the memory is so real that Qiu Yan feels as if he has traveled through the long river of history, going upstream, to the era of "temporary punishment and no presupposition of the law"-

Hundreds of countries contend, hundreds of schools of thought contend.

His consciousness is mixed with the shijie composed of illusory memories, like a flat boat in a storm, moving with it, experiencing all kinds of things, and receiving a lot of information.

This is an era of division, but also an era of shining light.

Today's people can only understand that era from the records of their predecessors, which is far less straightforward and clear than Qiu Yan at this time - he is wandering in this memory.

Here, he saw a scene that was not mentioned in the history books.

Use the etiquette and don't use the law!

In that country, with blood ties as the bond, the ruling class was constructed, and the rulers, royal families, nobles, and nobles occupied and monopolized power, and when they coordinated their relations with each other and handled the affairs of their subordinates and the state, although they also "killed" and "punished", and "praised" and "rewarded", the criterion was based on personal insight and experience.

Temporary sentences, no presupposition of law.

When it happens, the criminal law is enacted on an ad hoc basis, and there is no criterion for setting it up in advance, and after it is implemented, it is only used as experience and can be used as a reference, and it is not a fixed rule.

The practice of using the will of the individual as the criterion makes the authority of the ruler unfathomable - the punishment is unknowable, and the authority is unpredictable, because the power can be arbitrarily judged by one's own will, which is awe-inspiring, but also easy to lose control.

With this authority, the nobles can do whatever they want. Turning guilt into innocence, turning innocence into guilt, even matters involving human life often depend on the mood of the rulers.

One thought of life, one thought of death, rain and shine from the heart.

This unfathomable power shrouded that era, like a shadow, everywhere.

But one day, a bolt of lightning broke through the fog of shadows.

Zheng people cast the punishment tripod. The legal provisions of the country are cast on the tripod and made public so that the world can know it.

This move has given the criminal law a standard, so that people in the world can know that not only ordinary people must abide by it, but also nobles with blood ties must be restricted!

This is a thunderbolt on a sunny day!

Soon the state of turmoil was unstable. caused countless waves, after all, it shook the authority of the nobility, whether it was the ruler, or several doctrines. All of them reacted, including the later Xianxue-

Confucianist.

Even the Holy Prophet rebuked him, believing that this move violated the ancient system and undermined the "rites".

Confucianism at that time. It has not been perfected for more than 1,000 years, and the content is relatively simple, advocating the use of ancient etiquette, righteousness, morality, and faith as an example. Guide the people, and the people abide by these things, and the society will not be chaotic, and the world will be governed.

Many scholars believe that if the law is made known to the world, anyone can see it, and the people will know the legal provisions, and they will have no scruples about the officials in high positions, and dare to use the legal provisions as the basis to argue with the officials, so that it is impossible to govern the country well.

"The noble and the lowly are disorderly, how can they be a country. ”

Seeing this comment, Qiu Yan smiled dumbly, and guessed a little bit of Han Yi's careful thinking.

"Even if they were sages, their doctrines were respected by later generations and enlightened countless people; their ideas bloomed in the past and the present, giving the future to those who came after them; their ideas filled the heavens and the earth and pinned the wishes of all the people, but at that time, they were still limited by the times. ”

In Qiu Yan's previous life, he could often meet some people who reprimanded the ancients for being "foolish and loyal" and "conservative", but they didn't think about what they could do if they put themselves in that era.

A master of learning information jishu can call the wind and rain on the Internet, but if it is put a few decades ago, when the Internet has not yet emerged, and even the corresponding concept has not been produced, then how much effect can the knowledge he has, the vision and understanding he have?

After all, people are limited by the times, and it is unfair and unrigorous to use today's standards to ridicule and evaluate the ancients.

In the era in which the sages lived, not to mention the imperial examinations, even the knowledge of the provisions of the law was not established, and some were only high and low - the rulers of various countries, nobles, and nobles, whose bloodlines can be traced back to the ancient wars of kings, and in the eyes of others, he was in a high position, and of course had legal reason.

At that time, in the hearts of the people, there was no such concept as "being an official in the imperial examination", for them, there was a difference between the noble and the low, and it was natural and righteous to use the noble and the lowly to unify the lowly, so as to achieve long-term peace and stability.

In the face of this kind of cognition of all peoples, even if a person is a scholar of heaven and man, and knows everything about astronomy and geography, what can he do?

However, Xingding broke the rules.

Its appearance caused chaos in the order of that era, which required a new order system to restrain this chaos, so as to attract hundreds of schools of thought to contend, each to show their magical powers, and each doctrine changed with the times, urging the scholars at that time to constantly improve and try, which created the world of sages.

Of course, Xingding is only one of the reasons for the great controversy, but there are many other factors.

Looking at that turbulent era, Qiu Yan, as a bystander, also had a sense of agitation in his chest, and a feeling appeared in his heart.

"The history of humanity is in this cycle, moving forward ......"

At the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of the ideas of the sages, and there was a faint tendency to jump out of the Confucian perspective and examine it from other aspects, so that his Taoist heart gradually changed.

In this way, Qiu Yan was immersed in the memories of Shijie, comprehending the deep meaning of these Legalist words, feeling the teachings of the Dharma Sage who wrote these words, and soon had a deeper understanding.

"So it is so, that the law was made public, and that it had another meaning, that it was to prevent the people from inadvertently committing a wrong, that if it was forgiven, it would damage the majesty of the law, and that if it was strictly enforced, it would be necessary to kill others in vain. ”

Looking at it, the meaning of this passage became completely clear.

"The law is not meant to disrupt order, nor is it intended to punish and oppress others, but on the contrary, when it is made public, it is fearful that people will not break the law!"

As soon as this thought came out, the whole memory shijie shook, and those pictures dissipated, turning into seal characters, flying and circling, converging, and still surrounding Qiu Yan's soul, but the spirit inside became more and more similar to his soul, and zuihou integrated into it.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yan's divine soul rose and turned into a bookshelf form, condensing this Legalist spirit into a scroll of bamboo slips, which was included in it - as soon as the divine soul was completed, the functions of the earth soul were integrated into it and became the root of the supernatural power.

Subsequently, his spirit increased significantly, and his heart became more fireful.

"I have just condensed my soul, and the next step is to strengthen my soul, trying to connect with flesh and blood, and when my soul can withstand the flow of qi and blood, and when it is connected with the heart fire, I can advance to the second order of the soul cultivation soul of the Guiyi realm. ”

Thinking about it, his soul turned and he returned to his senses, Qiu Yan trembled, opened his eyes, and looked down at the bamboo slips on the table.

"Compared with the previous two times, this time I collected the manuscripts of the sages, it didn't take much effort, and I didn't experience many incidents, and I naturally integrated into the spirit and watched the memory, which was not only because of the accumulation of enough knowledge, but also because of the condensation of the soul, and the experience of controlling the clone of the demons, and the more refined control of the perception, so that it could be achieved in one fell swoop. ”

While thinking about it, Qiu Yan scanned the words on the bamboo slips, experienced the spirit, and when he saw the content of the "heart technique", his heart moved.

"In this manuscript, the content of the manifestation of the Fa can be in harmony with the order of heaven and earth, but the part related to the mind is only the perception, which shows that although the Legalists have the distinction of 'magic potential', but in line with the development of humanity and can unite the wishes of the people, there is only the part of the 'Fa', which will be studied in depth in the future. ”

With this in mind, Qiu Yan set a general direction for his academic research, then rolled up the bamboo slips, put them back in the box, and covered them again.

At this time, it was getting late, and he was in a state of mind, and it took some time to understand the memory, but fortunately, Hu Qi and Dai Guo knew the severity, and although they had passed the meal, they didn't come to disturb.

"Before, in the study of Han Lao Xiangguo, he gave me some advice, and I benefited a lot, and now I have a volume of sage spirit, not only to increase my cultivation, but also to have a new understanding of humanity, which is also a great favor, if there is a chance in the future, I still have to repay the Han family's affection. ”

Thinking like this, Qiu Yan seemed to wander and pace around the room casually, and slowly approached the window.

Suddenly!

Syllable!

As soon as his feet moved, the whole soles of his feet swelled! Contracted! Burst out with astonishing energy, and the whole person disappeared in place, appeared by the window, and raised his hand to push!

Call!

He pushed the window open, and there was a soft noise outside!

I saw a palm-sized sparrow flapping its wings and flapping its wings.

"In the middle of winter, a sparrow is standing outside the window, is it really Qiu who can't figure out the reason inside?" said in his mouth, Qiu Yan's hand pushing the window grabbed forward, and the palm of his hand burst out with absorbing power, and the flying sparrow immediately lost its height, spinning and falling towards Qiu Yan's palm!

It's just that when the sparrow is about to fall into his hand, there is a "pop" sound, and it is scattered entirely, disintegrating, divided into several parts, and then each of them shakes and shatters into powder, and when the wind blows, it will disperse with the wind!

A wisp of divine power fluctuated, wafting out of the powder.

"Hmm, good means!" Qiu Yan sneered, his hands did not move, his strength and true qi gathered in his palms, and the absorption power rose sharply!

Call!

The scattered powder was instantly reversed, and it was pulled into the palm of its hand! (To be continued......)
