Chapter 409 The Secret of Lao Tzus Journey to the West
"The Mohist family is finally going to change!" In the elegant bamboo forest of the Little Sage Village, Xunzi smiled slightly and looked at the sky.
The Confucian revolution has been declared bankrupt, and now it is up to the Mohists.
"Success does not depend on offense, and failure does not depend on offense. The Mohist school rose because of non-offense, and also declined because of non-offensive. What do you think the Mohist school should do?" A chubby young man looked at Master Xun curiously.
"Zicang still doesn't understand the Mohists. The ultimate righteousness of the Mohists is not non-aggression. For the Mohists, non-aggression is just a means and process. Their true righteousness is to love the world universally!"
He just figured it out.
Confucianism also has many Mohist classics in its collection. He used to think that non-aggression was the key to the Mohist school's strength, but later he discovered that everything in the Mohist school was to support Jian Ai throughout his life.
It's a pity that after Mozi, no one of the Mohist disciples could reach that level and see that kind of scenery, so they took Fei Gong too seriously and ignored the true foundation of Mohism.
"Love the whole world?" Zhang Cang doesn't understand. He likes to read books on arithmetic, calendars and laws. Therefore, even though the Confucian collection of the world is more about the Mohist's derivation of laws, arithmetic and calendars,
It is not the meaning of Mohist scriptures.
"How many people can be saved by defending a city?" Master Xun asked with a smile as he watched Zhang Cang take the exam.
"As few as a thousand, as many as ten thousand!" Zhang Cang thought for a while and then replied.
"What about saving a country?" Master Xun continued to ask.
"As few as South Korea, there are at least hundreds of thousands, and as many as Qi, there are nearly one million!" Zhang Cang answered again.
"Does a thousand people represent the world's lifetime, or ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or one million people represent the world's lifetime?" Master Xun asked again.
Zhang Cang frowned. Thousands of people cannot represent the life of a country. Similarly, South Korea and Qi cannot represent the life of the world!
"So, there is something about the Six-fingered Black Man. The teacher even suspected that the Six-Fingered Black Man was hiding in the Mo family's main courtyard and could not come out. It's not that he didn't want to come out, but that he had probably reached the highest level of the Mo family, loved the world, and achieved success.
Heavenly beings, therefore, can no longer participate in the battles of the world!" Master Xun sighed with emotion.
As a peer of their generation, the Six-Fingered Black Man has always been ahead of them. He would not be surprised at all if the Six-Fingered Black Man could take the final step.
"Celestial beings?" Zhang Cang hesitated. He knew the secrets of heavenly beings.
"Teacher, this is not a guess, but this world seems to be deliberately erasing the traces of heaven and man. In recent years, the deeds of the Six-fingered Black Man are being forgotten and erased. Even if he is a teacher, he has now
I can’t remember the real name of the Six-fingered Black Man!" Xunzi said solemnly.
As a prominent school in the world, Confucianism’s understanding of heaven and humans is beyond the ordinary schools. No one knows the secrets above heaven and humans, and they cannot be recorded. However, when you reach a certain level, you can also see from clues that heaven and humans cannot appear in the world.
.
Of course, there are exceptions for people like Han Zhong, because she is considered an alternative among heavenly beings, so alternative that even this side of heaven and earth does not feel the need to find out too many traces of her existence.
Han Zhong: Are you polite? (Turns over the table)
"If this is true, then, the Mohist family is now leaderless, who will become the new great son of the Mohist family?" Zhang Cang also became solemn.
….
The replacement of the great son of the Mohist family, one of the top three schools of thought, is no less than the succession of a new king of a country.
"Isn't it already obvious?" Master Xun looked at Zhang Cang blankly.
Zhang Cang was stunned. There has always been only one candidate for the great son of the Mo family, and that is the current leader of the Zhao Kingdom, Tianzi Yao.
However, as the leader of the Zhao Kingdom, Tianzi Yao was not allowed to inherit the position of Juzi, whether it was because of external pressure or for the survival of the Mohist family.
"But Tianzi Yao..." Zhang Cang shook his head, it was impossible no matter how he thought about it.
"As a teacher, I am actually half as good as Emperor Ziyuan. I have also heard what Master Xiang said about this disciple." Master Xun recalled with a sigh.
"Master Xiang once said that there are two kinds of heroes in this world. One is the heroes who aspire to be the trendsetters of the times. They can rely on their personal efforts to
Keep moving forward until you become the kind of person you want to be; one is constantly pushed forward by the times and the crowd, and eventually become the world's attention and a trend-setter of the times." Master Xun said with emotion.
"The former is like Guanzi, Mozi, Shangjun and other leaders of hundreds of schools; the latter is like Laozi, Xinlingjun and the current emperor Yao."
"The founder of Taoism, I am also the latter?" Zhang Cang was stunned. Didn't he say that I was born with an old appearance, and then had extraordinary talents, making him a born saint?
"Uh, do you really think that I wrote the De Dao Jing of his own free will?" Master Xun looked at Zhang Cang speechlessly.
"Isn't it?" Zhang Cang blinked, as if he was about to know the real secrets of the Bai family!
"Of course not. I don't know how old I was as a teacher when I came out of Hangu, but according to the existing records of Confucianism and Taoism, I was at least a hundred years old at that time." Master Xun blew his beard, and he was also more
I want to live to such an old age and travel around the world.
"Then what?" Zhang Cang sat obediently and listened attentively.
"The record is that at that time, Yin Xi, the general guarding Hangu Pass, was overjoyed when he heard that I was leaving Hangu and heading west. He swept the road forty miles and knelt down to greet him. The history book at that time described that when I appeared at Hangu Pass riding a green ox, he was overjoyed.
The man has a fluttering beard, white hair covering his ears, and is wearing a long-sleeved robe. His hands are naturally clasped in front of his chest. He has a smile on his face and an extraordinary bearing. There is an air of indifference and aloofness in his expression.
"Charming charm," Xunzi said with envy. He was over a hundred years old and still had such grace. The key was that he could still ride a green bull and run around.
Zhang Cang didn't say anything. Isn't this normal? He is a saint and deserves such courtesy.
"If you think about it, is this etiquette really normal? Who is Yin Xi? The general guarding Hangu Pass. At that time, Hangu Pass was so important to the Qin State, so Yin Xi's status at that time was equivalent to that of the Qin State General today.
General! Where can such a man personally lead troops to sweep forty miles, kneel down to greet him, and put the King of Qin and the Duke of Qin?" Xunzi asked in return.
Zhang Cang also suddenly realized that such etiquette seemed to be really abnormal.
"My teacher has another guess, just listen to it; what if the Qin State at that time needed a prominent scholar to join the Qin Dynasty? This can explain why the Qin State was indifferent to Yin Xi's actions, or that Yin Xi got it
It was done under the instruction of the Duke of Qin at that time." Master Xun said with a smile.
"If the teacher's guess comes true, then the next guess will be logical; that is to say, Yin Xi actually carried the order of Duke Qin at that time, and he must keep me and leave his inheritance. Therefore, Yin Xi
The ones who are happy to lead are not his disciples, nor are they marching forty miles to greet them, but they are leading the entire Hangu Pass army to form a formation for forty miles!" Master Xun stroked his long beard, and he was very sure that he
speculation.
Otherwise, how can we explain that Lao Tzu disappeared without a trace after leaving Han Valley and traveling westward, while Taoism also established its sect in Taiyi Mountain in Qin State.
The fundamental reason is that Yin Xi, a young man who does not respect martial ethics, led the Hangu Pass army and deployed forty miles to bully a centenarian who had just retired from the Zhou Dynasty and was looking for a place to retire, and forced him to
He wrote the eloquent 5,000-word "De Dao Jing" and left a legacy in Qin.
