After Li Tai sprinkled the seeds from the bookstore, he quickly put the matter aside.
Because Du Chuke came to him with a strong and slender middle-aged man, saying that he had obtained a master.
Li Tai, a practitioner of Taoism, could not tell whether he was a Taoist practitioner, but Li Tai was sure that if this person’s reason was not reasonable, then he would definitely be very talented in talking about physics.
When Pan Shizheng saw Li Tai, he had no airs and immediately saluted Li Tai and said, "Pan Shizheng, a man from the mountains and fields, has met King Yue!"
Du Chuke enthusiastically promoted Pan Shizheng to Li Tai, and Du Chuke said:
"This person is the Shangqing Zhenren I met when I settled in Songshan. I have deeply understood the true meaning of Taoism. I hope the King of Yue will pay attention to it!"
Li Tai first asked someone to serve tea, and Mr. Pan took a sip. Although the tea was a bit bitter but not astringent at the beginning, it was a sweet aftertaste that made Mr. Pan shocked him.
I looked down at my tea. There was no strange thing added to the tea, only clear sweet springs and tea leaves that emitted a fragrance, which simplified the complex and had a unique charm.
Li Tai looked at Mr. Pan a little fascinated by drinking tea, but he didn't care much.
Most of the first people who came to the Yue Palace to drink tea were novel about this purer way of drinking tea.
Compared with Li Tai's simple and straightforward way of drinking tea, adding strange ingredients in this era is the mainstream of the era.
However, for people like Pan Shizheng who live in seclusion and practice Taoism, this way of drinking tea is the real way to drink tea!
"I have never seen such sweet spring tea in the mountains and fields before. I am rude!" Mr. Pan apologized to Li Tai.
"Baihe, prepare a pound of bamboo leaf green, bring it with you when the real person leaves!" Li Tai turned his head to Shi Zhengdao,
"The real person is a noble man, and I am a plain man. I hope the real person will not refuse.
The bamboo leaves in Shu are green, brewed with boiling water, and it is best to drink from the second brew."
"The King of Yue is hard to refuse, I am disrespectful!" Pan Shizheng did not postpone anything, but took it away very happily.
Then Mr. Pan said to Li Tai, "I heard that Shanbin said that King Yue is interested in practicing Taoism?"
"Actually, I am very interested in cultivating immortals, but unfortunately I can't get started!" Li Tai complained.
However, before Pan Shizheng could reply, Li Tai said seriously, "Strictly speaking, I think Taoist theory is too high!"
"Everything has a physical body contains the nature of Tao!" Mr. Pan said seriously, "Your King Yue can realize this, and your body has the nature of Tao. You should seek the truth with no precepts!"
When Li Tai heard Mr. Pan's words, he couldn't help but frown. To be honest, he really couldn't understand.
It’s like I am in the royal family and have watched several Buddhist debates.
The result of their mutual dialectics is that after hearing this, they only feel enlightened by wisdom, their realm improves, their bodies are floating and their heads are empty.
Anyway, apart from proving that he is a fool, I really can't hear anything.
But the guys around them all seemed to be enlightened. As if after listening to this debate, their intelligence seemed to have increased by n points, but they had no feelings at all.
Li Tai said seriously: "Pan Zhenren invites you here this time because I think the Taoist theory is too high now.
It is so high that only you Taoism and Buddhism can understand it, so I think this is wrong!
I think the Tao is completely true, so only Yangchun Baixue can understand it.
I think that if the people in Xialiba can understand the great way, this is the reason why I came to you!"
"The King of Yue is really courageous, it's really a very human being!" Pan Shizheng praised Li Tai when he heard Li Tai's words, and then said,
"Please ask King Shu of Yue to be a little talented and knowledgeable person, and he cannot save all living beings in the world. If you want to realize the truth in the world, you need to ask my teacher, the King of Dharma Lord."
It is easy to make it messy, but it is difficult to make it simple.
Especially the Taoist sacred Taoism, there are also false books and true sayings.
But we must really summarize the true teachings into one sentence, and let everyone understand them, and be able to truly practice the truth...
Save it, this is definitely not something that Master Pan can do now.
As for what level can be achieved, it is probably Newton summed up the level of the three theorems of mechanics.
More importantly, Newton's theorem can be verified in real life, but the testimonies passed down by Taoism, because there is no spiritual energy and no practice, at most it will make people prolong their lives.
At least when the comparison is not obvious, even if this truth is placed in front of all living beings, I am afraid no one will believe it!
Therefore, when Mr. Pan heard the idea of King Yue, the first thing he thought was that King Yue wanted to trick him.
Of course, if King Yue was not playing tricks on himself, but really had this idea, then Pan Shizheng said, "I can't find my teacher."
"Zhengren Pan, why not listen to what I think?" Li Tai said to Pan Shizheng.
"Please discuss the truth with King Yue!" Pan Shizheng's expression became serious. He hoped that Li Tai was just because he was young and didn't know the importance of it.
Of course, if King Yue really thought he could do it and simplify the way, he would have to find a way to say goodbye, because he really couldn't do this job!
"First of all, I think Tao is complete, true, eternal, and all things!" Li Tai said seriously to Pan Shizheng.
"Tao is the source of all things!" Mr. Pan responded to Li Tai's words.
Li Tai continued, "So, I think unless you are a god like the ancestor Laozi, no matter how high the wisdom and the deep nature of the Tao, you can't directly understand what Tao is. At least I can't do it, real person, what about you?
?”
"My qualifications are in front of Taiqing Daode Heavenly Lord, so I can't compare with them!" Pan Shizheng also sighed.
"So in my opinion, people cannot attain enlightenment, and all they do is short-lived!" Li Tai carefully explained his point of view.
"No matter how high or far the Taoist doctrine is, as long as it cannot surpass me, no one can speak up.
If there are thousands of future generations, they will still not be able to surpass me, and then it is impossible to attain enlightenment after all.
So the path to success is wrong at the beginning!”
When Pan Shizheng suddenly heard this, he was stunned. Even if Du Chuke heard Li Tai's words, he was shocked first, then shocked, and immediately winked at Li Tai.
Du Chuke said silently in his heart, "King Yue, you have smashed the Confucianism with the front foot. Are you here to smash the Taoist country now?
Didn’t you just let them prove the truth? Why do you have to say so much?”
When Mr. Pan heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but stand up in anger. He wanted to say something and refute it, but he couldn't speak for a while.
At least logically, there is nothing wrong with that. People who cannot surpass me, and who cannot even compare with me are naturally not qualified to speak up.
But the question is, who can compare himself to me? More importantly, it is to be recognized by the world!
However, Pan Shizheng still sat down and looked at Li Tai and said, "The King of Yue invited me to come here to make fun of me?"
"No! I think the real person misunderstood me. I think I am the most devout seeker today!" Li Tai shook his head and said,
"I just think that as long as I don't surpass me, that person will never be able to attain enlightenment.
And if you say you want to surpass me, who can prove that you can attain enlightenment?
So I think we need to change our thinking. Since individuals cannot obtain enlightenment, we can achieve enlightenment together!"
"How can we achieve enlightenment in the collective?" Pan Shizheng was a little curious when he heard Li Tai's words, and then asked.
"First of all, get rid of the false and keep the truth!" Li Tai said,
"If you want to attain enlightenment, you must first attain enlightenment. If you continue to force it, it will naturally be a completely different direction and it will be wrong at the beginning!"
"How to prove the truth!" Hearing Li Tai's words, Mr. Pan couldn't help but sit down and continue to ask.
"Mathematics!" Li Tai looked at Pan Shizheng and said seriously.
"Mathematics? Well..." Mr. Pan was a little stunned when he heard Li Tai's words, and then he couldn't help but think about it.
Li Tai continued: "Laozi said: Five colors make people blind, five sounds make people deaf, five flavors make people feel refreshed, galloping and hunting makes people crazy, and rare goods make people hinder.
Therefore, when the true scriptures and false scriptures in the world are confused with each other, we ordinary people cannot tell the truth or false.
But when the true scriptures can only be argued through debate, is the so-called truth and falsehood still important?
Why aren't they all fake?
But there is only mathematics. No matter what kind of debate you have, it is clear at a glance whether it is true or false. One plus one is equal to two after all."
When Mr. Pan heard this, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't argue with Li Tai.
Because there seems to be nothing to argue about, because mathematics seems to be true, right, wrong, and wrong, and it is clear at a glance.
At least for most wise people, it is difficult to calculate mathematical conclusions, but most people can prove the results as long as they have learned the method.
"The second point should be considered as pursuing things to lead to knowledge!" Mr. Pan frowned slightly when he heard Li Tai's words, "This seems to be Confucianism."
"The stones on other mountains can be used to polish jade, after all, I can't find a more suitable word than this!" Li Tai calmly admitted that he lacked his knowledge and continued,
"The simplest thing is that the theory of the Five Elements is composed of the five elements of the world by metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and the five elements are mutually generated and restrained.
Then I want to ask whether the fire in it is just a process of changing things or a real matter!”
Hearing Li Tai's words, Mr. Pan couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although the Five Elements Theory was basically no one mentioned it after the Han Dynasty.
After all, the Five Barbarians invaded China and cut off a lot of inheritance, but it was not that the Five Elements were learned but that it was further integrated into the Chinese nation.
Not to mention, the traditional Chinese medicine system has used the theory of the Five Elements Theory, and even when Dong Zhongshu was involved in the power of the king and the divine authority and the induction of heaven and man, he also absorbed Confucianism.
As a result, as soon as Li Tai opened his mouth, he wanted to dig out the foundation of Taoism.
"The King of Yue, the theory of the Five Elements has existed since ancient times, and we can see this fire!"
Mr. Pan felt that he wanted to correct the fallacy in Li Tai's mind.
After all, if fire does not exist, Mr. Pan felt that most of the Taoism would collapse.
"I know!" Li Tai nodded, "But the five colors make people blind, and the five sounds make people deaf. Could it be that we humans have eyes that we are deceived by the color of the flame?
Otherwise, the other four types, metal, wood, water and soil, can be weighed, can feel, and can calculate their quantities mathematically.
But only fire cannot be calculated using mathematics, and I think everything that cannot be calculated using mathematics needs to be doubted about its existence.
Because my eyes will deceive me, my ears will deceive me, and even my feelings will deceive me.
But you can’t do math, you can’t do it!”
"Actually, will mathematics deceive you?" Pan Shizheng couldn't help but complain in his heart when he heard Li Tai's words.
What are Taoist real people and Taoist masters? In the face of Li Tai's theory of exploring the foundation of Taoism but logically self-consistent theory, Mr. Pan felt that practicing Taoism seemed not very important.
Is it necessary to cover my ears now? I turn around and leave, and then declare that Li Tai is the enemy!
But the true will to seek Taoism made Master Pan stay because he really wanted to achieve Taoism.
Although Li Tai's theory is full of all kinds of evil ways, it has a different charm, which makes Mr. Pan want to continue listening.
"After passing through the false and retaining the truth, and exploring things to realize, then when it comes to the third point, it is the three things that have been born of all things!" Li Tai said calmly:
"After proof from mathematics and after exploring the essence of things, we naturally cannot look at things in isolation.
Because things are constantly developing, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.
When we do not look at things with a developmental eye, but with a still eye, the ever-developing avenue will inevitably be further and further away from us and will not stop and wait for others!"
"Not only I, even Zhuangzi, have said, "My life is limited, but knowledge is boundless. With limitlessness, it is dangerous!" Pan Shizheng sighed, "This is not to persuade people to be unable to understand the truth, but to encourage people to be encouraged.
Don't be limited by yourself.
Because those who are limited cannot catch up with the ever-developing avenues.”
"So that's what it means!" Li Tai couldn't help but realize when he heard Pan Shizheng's words. To be honest, Li Tai didn't understand either.
However, Li Tai said, “This is the fourth point I want to say.
I always thought that Zhuangzi was trying to persuade people not to pursue knowledge.
Because knowledge is endless, individual life is limited, and it is very dangerous to pursue infinite knowledge with limited life.
But what if we leave the concept of human beings, and use the entire Chinese nation to pursue those proven paths?
Is it just to pursue Wuya with Wuya? Is this a way to approach the Tao?"
"Chasing Wuya with Wuya?" Hearing Li Tai's statement, Master Pan was a little surprised.
"Yeah!" Li Tai said, "The core of my fourth point is inheritance and enlightenment!
Because Tao is unique, but Tao has become tens of millions and has become the truth that has always existed.
So can we prove the existence of the basic way first, and then use the basic way to verify other ways?
For example, the simplest one is the Pythagorean theorem, which can draw three, four, and five strings to get a right-angle triangle.
So can we use it as a diagram to draw a square with it as the edge, and see if the square area composed of three strands and four strands is equal to the square area of string five.
Then can we make a right-angle triangle from the hook three, four, and five, and can we make a right-angle triangle by proof that the hook square can be added to the square of the strand, so as to prove that the right-angle triangle is
Returning, can we use this method to prove that a triangle is a right-angle triangle? Is this theorem?
If this is an immutable theorem, can it prove that it is one of the incarnations of one of the billions of branches of Tao?
Then, there are constantly elites among us humans who can find branches of the great way and allow us people to keep getting shortcuts.
Until one day we find all the branches of the Tao, helping us humans piece together the appearance of the Tao, and then an unprecedented elite appears. He can coordinate all knowledge and truly help humans complete the leap from short-term to enlightenment!
This is my delusion about pursuing enlightenment and even achieving enlightenment! Please correct me by Zhenren Pan!”
Pan Zhenren widened his eyes. He felt that his wisdom was enlightened, his realm improved, his body was floating and his head was empty.
