Chapter 714 Literary Way
But in this matter, Jie Yin and Zhunti were in the wrong, so even if the Heavenly Dao made it known to the Great Dao, it would still be the Heavenly Dao that suffered. What's more, in the eyes of the not-so-smart Heavenly Dao, if Jie Yin and Zhunti really dared to do something that would harm Him and benefit themselves, He would definitely make Jie Yin and Zhunti regret living in this world, rather than giving them the same not-so-severe punishment as humans do!
Originally, Heaven was preparing to punish Jie Yin and Zhunti again, but Heaven was also concerned that the West was already miserable enough now. If Jie Yin and Zhunti had any problems again, the West might never be able to achieve revival in this lifetime!
Therefore, no matter how much the Heavenly Dao hated the behavior of Jie Yin and Zhunti, in the end it only warned their fellow disciples. However, the Heavenly Dao also kept this account in mind and planned to settle accounts with them after the West prospers. Otherwise, these two Heavenly Dao saints were indeed a bit unbecoming!
Let's get back to the topic. Sixthly, Chi You attached great importance to education. He first trained a large number of teachers who were literate and had good conduct in his capital. Then he began to promote the characters created by Cangjie for the human race in all directions with his capital as the center, in order to ensure the orderly inheritance of the human race!
In addition, in order to prevent the people from not understanding the decrees he issued, in addition to vigorously promoting writing, Chi You also specially set up a special position. Whenever Chi You announced a decree, this person had to inform the people of the content of the decree, so as to ensure that his decrees were known to the people, rather than being fooled by local tyrants!
Not long after Chi You promoted writing to the area he ruled, Cang Jie returned as a king and began to spread among the human race the writing and Taoism that he had learned from the Kongtong Seal and the auspicious clouds of the heavens over the past years!
Cangjie did not interfere in the competition between Xuanyuan and Chiyou, but selected suitable candidates in his hometown and taught them the literature and Taoism he had learned!
Cang Jie knew that people's minds would change. With the passage of time, human beings gradually lost their former simplicity. He taught the way of literature to human beings in order to help them rise, not to allow those beastly guys to use the way of literature he founded to do evil. Therefore, as the ancestor of the way of literature, Cang Jie placed a restriction on the way of literature he founded, in order to ensure that it would not fall into the hands of bad people and become a tool to persecute good people!
What Cangjie did was actually very simple. What Wendao practiced was the righteous energy that symbolized the justice of heaven and earth. He extremely disliked those with dark minds. It was for this reason that Cangjie made a restriction here. When the righteous energy between heaven and earth was drawn into the body, a Wendao heart that tended to be positive would be formed, so as to restrain the nature of those who inherited Wendao!
Of course, not everyone can condense the heart of literature and Tao. After all, some people with dark minds find it difficult to condense a heart of literature and Tao that tends to be positive even with the help of external forces. Without the assistance of a heart of literature and Tao that tends to be positive, they cannot arouse the great righteousness in the long river of great righteousness. Naturally, cultivation becomes just empty talk!
Of course, not all those with dark minds are unable to practice literature. As long as they can concentrate on a positive literary mind, they can continue to practice.
However, the consequences of having a mind that is not in line with the spirit of literature and Taoism are also very obvious. It is as difficult for those with dark minds to practice as it is for a mortal to climb Mount Zhou.
Even if they choose to practice by force, no matter how hard they practice, their future achievements will not be too high, and if they dare to do something that violates the heart of Wendao, their cultivation will not only not improve, but will gradually decline with the passage of time! And the more they violate, the faster their cultivation will decline!
It is precisely because Wendao emphasizes the mind and nature, and cannot be practiced by those who are not naturally kind, that when Cangjie first taught Wendao, he did so just like Master Tongtian, allowing everyone, regardless of their status, who was willing to practice Wendao, to come and study.
