The scholar kowtowed three times, then wrapped the ant's body in paper and put it into his sleeve.
The scholar kowtowed so hard that his forehead bled, but he didn't care. He looked at Long Chen with a malicious look in his eyes.
"What? Are you trying to gain sympathy by knocking me so hard? Showing the face of a victim to who?
I used to look down on you, but now I look down on you even more. Are you the only one who is superior? Are you only allowed to step on others?" Facing the scholar's resentful eyes, Long Chen's eyes were full of mockery.
"Stop talking nonsense, you are challenging all the scholars in our Suzaku Empire. You think your knowledge is amazing, so today we will compete." The scholar said angrily.
"Are you an idiot? Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. In the battle of martial arts, one can distinguish one from the other.
As for literature, how can one be number one? Literature carries the Tao, and all principles are what the benevolent see as benevolence, and the wise see as wisdom.
In terms of martial arts, some people dare to be called the best in the world, because some people can really stand at that height.
But when it comes to literature, there are those who dare to be number one in the world. They are either madmen or idiots.
In addition, I am here to reason with you, not to compete. If you compete in knowledge with me, a warrior, how inferior do you have to make such a choice?" Long Chen said to the man,
scoff.
"Literature and martial arts lead to the same goal through different paths. When you reach the highest level, there is naturally a criterion for judging. If you say that literature is not the best, it is because you have not reached that height. How dare you speak nonsense?" Someone said coldly.
He was a tall and lanky scholar among the crowd. He wanted to speak several times but failed to interrupt. At this time, he finally got a chance.
"Then have you reached the highest level?" Long Chen asked.
The man was speechless. He was just a civil servant, and there were many levels above him. Naturally, he did not dare to say that he had reached that level.
"Even if we don't reach that level, we still have the ability to distinguish between good and bad. If we say we don't evaluate others enough, how about evaluating you... Hum, it's obviously more than enough." The man was speechless, and someone immediately stepped forward to save him.
"Do you want to save some face? I'm still half-full. I don't even have a standard for evaluation. How can I determine who is right and who is wrong?
Oh, when the time comes, you will gnash your teeth and say that others are right, and others are wrong when they are said to be wrong?
Being both a player and a referee? I, Long Chen, have fought all my life, from the mortal world to the fairy world, and met countless people, but I have never seen you so shameless. Good guys, if it comes to being shameless, I, Long Chen, am willing to ban you.
You are number one." Long Chen said with admiration.
This is too shameless, asking me to compete with you in knowledge, and then there is no standard, the outcome is all decided by you, so why are you just playing with it? This time, Long Chen has seen the world.
"It's a joke. Everyone here is a scholar who has read poetry and books, and is full of economics. Don't judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." A scholar said angrily.
"The sky is moving, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement, and the terrain is prosperous. A gentleman is carrying things with kindness. You are jealous and resentful, and you attack Long in groups. You use your own strengths to bully others' weaknesses. You call yourself a gentleman, but how can you show the demeanor of a gentleman?
?" Long Chen asked back.
"In terms of demeanor, for a humble gentleman, his words should be as gentle as jade. For a villain in the market, how can his humble words be heard by the ears and understood by the heart?" Someone behind him sarcastically said.
"As a humble gentleman, you should know that if you walk among three people, you must have my teacher. Everything has its own reason, and all laws and ways have their own rules.
Even people in the market have their own strengths and their own rules of survival. Firstly, they will not steal from you, and secondly, they will not rob you. They must make their own living and be self-sufficient.
Your Excellency, however, speaks rudely to people in the market, calls you small, shows off your bigness, and is condescending. How is it so majestic? Who gave you the confidence to look down on others?" Long Chen sneered.
Long Chen's words were sharp and to the point. The powerful people present were dumbfounded. If they hadn't been able to sense the vast power of Qi and blood in Long Chen, people would have thought that he was also a scholar.
"Most of the villains in the market are those who steal from others and benefit themselves at the expense of others, which shows the ugliness of human nature. The reproduction of future generations often has their own bad qualities.
Although you have enough food and clothing, you don't want to make progress, refuse to study, refuse to understand reason, and are willing to degenerate, mix in dirt, and live in poverty forever, and you will not be able to enjoy glory and wealth throughout your life." Another scholar said.
“The conduct of a gentleman is to cultivate one’s character through tranquility, and to cultivate one’s virtue through thrift. If it is not indifferent, it will not clear its aspirations, and if it is not tranquil, it will not lead to greatness.
Your Excellency, you use the gap between the rich and the poor to judge virtue, and use the inferiority of character. If a villain is not as good as him, how can he be on par with a gentleman?
How can you look down on the shabby clothes of others when you dress like a dog? How can you laugh at the poverty of others when you are well-clothed and well-fed?
What kind of knowledge are you talking about if your intentions are not right? The reason why you are standing here is not because of how hard you work or how good you are, but because your parents are strong enough to support you in studying." Long Chen said disdainfully.
This person has problems with his outlook on life and has evil intentions. Fortunately, he chose to study literature. If he had practiced martial arts, I don’t know how many people would have been harmed by them. With his theory, even the poor would die.
Fortunately, this person is not a cultivator. He is just a braggart and has little power. If he were a powerful cultivator, Long Chen would definitely not let him live to see the sun tomorrow.
"The way of heaven is survival of the fittest. Man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature. God wants to eliminate them, which shows that they are disliked by heaven. This brother's words are without any fault, so how can he be so clever?
What's wrong? If you want to accuse someone, why bother?" The person before was stopped by Long Chen, and someone stood beside him to help him speak.
"Since Tao follows nature, we should follow the rules. Where there is heaven and earth, where there is yin there is yang, where there is high there is low, where there is wealth there is poverty. I would like to ask you, how can there be heaven without earth? How can there be yang without yin?
How can one be high without being low? How can one be rich without being poor?
Heaven and earth are friends with each other, yin and yang complement each other, high and low need each other, rich and poor are mutually dependent, and show the differences among all things. This is the way of nature, why is it said that heaven does not like it? Next." Long Chen snorted.
"The way of heaven and earth is the way of nature. Those who have no desires will obtain the way of heaven. How qualified are you to speak about it?" Someone asked coldly.
"Since those who have no desires have the way of heaven, you can't even control your lust for words, why are you talking to me about the way of heaven? Just shut up, next time." Long Chen didn't bother to explain, so he just shouted back.
What followed was a fierce verbal battle. Long Chen no longer choked on words like before, but directly responded to their questions, and could choke the other party to death with just one sentence.
"Next"
"Next"
"..."
After each sentence, the next sentence was added. As a result, dozens of people took turns to argue, but they were all retorted by Long Chen. In the end, no one dared to ask any more questions.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Long Chen’s knowledge was too broad. No matter what these people asked, Long Chen could get to the point straight to the point, seize the loopholes in their words and fight back, hitting the vital point with one blow, leaving them speechless and helpless.
refute.
In the end, no one among the scholars in the room dared to ask questions. Long Chen's tongue battled with the scholars, and he used his own power to fight against Youyou's mouth. The practitioners present were so impressed by Long Chen's eloquence.
"Is there no next one? Then I'm leaving, I still have things to do!" Long Chen saw that all the scholars in the room were glaring at him, but no one asked any more questions. Long Chen patted his butt and stood up.
"Brother Long, what a wonderful debate. I have learned what it means to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
I also asked Brother Long to point out the flaws in my little sister's song, and I am very grateful." When Long Chen was about to leave, the woman in yellow hurriedly stopped him, with a look of sincerity on her face.
"Do you really want to comment? I just finished blaming someone. I was very rude and may offend you."
Long Chen looked at the woman in yellow with a serious expression. For some reason, Long Chen felt an aura that made him uncomfortable from this woman in yellow.
The aura seemed to come from the woman herself and her skills, and the uncomfortable feeling came from the induction of his Nine-Star Hegemon Body Technique. Long Chen wanted to know what was going on.
