Before Peng Yingyu and others could speak, Xu Qian had already asked and answered: "Actually, it's very simple. There is only one reason why our teachings came from Persia and spread in China: that is, our teachings are in line with people's expectations for beauty.
The expectation of life, people see that there is a good life to live."
Peng Yingyu, Dai Qisi, Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng and others were startled. After thinking about it carefully, Xu Qian's words were straightforward, but the truth is indeed this truth.
"Isn't that why you joined my teaching?"
"You are dissatisfied with the world, dissatisfied with the Tatars, and dissatisfied with the corrupt officials. Do you want to change all this and create a world where you can live a good life? That's why you joined our religion?"
"What is Mingzun? According to my teachings, he is the god of fire and the god of good!"
"Fire can burn away filth and illuminate darkness, so Mingzun is the god of fire, and Mingzun is the god of good. It is not that Mingzun itself is 'good', but represents our pursuit of good!"
While Peng Yingyu, Dai Qisi and others were thinking, Xu Qian finally said what he really wanted to say.
“So, I think the real goal of my teaching is to create a beautiful world, so that everyone can live a good life, no longer suffer from hunger and cold, no longer oppressed by corrupt officials, can eat well, wear well, and afford a wife.
Daughter-in-law, I can afford to go to school and be cured of my illness..."
None of this was realized in later generations, but it did not prevent Xu Qian from using it to draw cakes for Peng Yingyu and others.
Xu Qian added: "Xu thinks that this is the real purpose of our religion in the world, and it is also the real revelation given to us by Ming Zun. Ming Zun wants us to lead the world to live a better life, rather than letting them live a better life."
Even worse, we don’t want them to become like us!"
Speaking of this, Xu Qian became more and more excited. He stood up, stretched out his hands, and shouted loudly: "Great, Mingzun, holy, Mingzun!"
Peng Yingyu and others looked at Xu Qian, as if they saw light coming from his face.
Influenced by Xu Qian, several people also stood up and shouted in unison: "Great, Ming Zun, holy, Ming Zun!"
Even the white ape standing on the left of Xu Qian also started to move and screamed.
Zhou Zhiruo shouted, while cursing in her heart: 'Master is telling lies and deceiving people again!'
She guessed wrong this time. Xu Qian's words were really not a lie.
He does want to make people in this world live a better life, but his motive is not to make people live a better life, but that only when people live a better life can more talents study martial arts and create the martial arts he wants.
A prosperous age of learning.
If you don’t have enough to eat and don’t have warm clothes, even if you tell him in front of him that you learned that thing and can make a nuclear bomb, it will be useless!
For the vast majority of people, when survival becomes the first priority, everything else is meaningless (this does not exclude the kind of strong-willed idealist)!
After the shouting, Yang Xiao was the smartest and the first to say: "It turns out that the true meaning of my teachings is actually this. Yang has never been able to understand it in the past. I am very ashamed. Thank you, the leader, for informing me!"
‘The person named Yang got the upper hand!’
Dai Qisi cursed secretly and said quickly: "After listening to the leader's words today, Dai Qisi realized how shallow she is. Thank you so much, leader!"
With these two leaders in mind, Yin Tianzheng also sighed: "What the leader said makes sense. Our religion is not a religion for one person, nor a religion for a hundred or a thousand people. It is a religion for the world. It should be for the benefit of the world, not just for the world."
Limited to one person per household."
Zhou Dian said: "The leader proposes to abolish the article in the canon that 'congregants are not allowed to eat meat or wine'. I support it! Anyone who refuses to agree is an enemy of me!"
Having said that, Zhou Dian glanced at Peng Yingyu specifically, thinking that even if you and I were both Wusan people, I would fall out with you.
"Brother Zhou, don't do this."
Xu Qian reassured Zhou Dian: "Actually, I proposed to abolish this line for the sake of teaching. Have you ever noticed a phenomenon while traveling across the country?"
Xu Qian said: "Those who eat meat are stronger and more powerful than those who don't eat meat!"
Wei Yixiao, Yin Tianzheng and others thought about it carefully and found that it is true that meat-eaters are generally stronger and stronger than non-meat-eaters.
But Peng Yingyu retorted: "Master, what you said is wrong. I don't eat meat, and the Shaolin monks don't eat meat either. Their bodies will no longer be strong and their strength will be reduced?"
Xu Qian smiled and said: "What I'm talking about is that under the same physical conditions, one person eats meat and the other doesn't. Brother Peng mentioned that he and the Shaolin monks, although you don't eat meat, you eat a lot, and the vegetarian food you eat at each meal is
You eat several times more meat, you also take medicated diets made from medicines, and you even practice medicated baths, so how can you not be strong?"
Seeing that Peng Yingyu wanted to refute, Xu Qian said: "If brother Peng doesn't believe it, I can make a bet with you..."
"What bet?"
Xu Qian said: "You and I each choose a hundred people with similar physical conditions. My hundred people will eat meat, and your hundred people will not eat meat. After one month, the two parties will compete, and the winner will be deemed justified. How about that?" Xu Qian proposed this experiment not only to convince Peng Yingyu, but also to show it to other Mingjiao disciples.
There must be many people in Mingjiao who stick to the rules like Peng Yingyu, and the laws of their ancestors are immutable. If you want to convince these people, you can't just rely on words, you must let them see the actual results.
Human nature is driven by profit. As long as they see the benefits, they will take the initiative to participate without saying anything.
Confucius said: "The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to know it.", but Xu Qian thought that he could add another sentence: "If the people cannot be made to make it, they can be induced."
Peng Yingyu said: "Then let's follow what the leader said!"
"To ensure fairness, during this month, these two hundred people are not allowed to practice martial arts, eat medicated meals, or take medicated baths... they can only eat meat and vegetarian food every day according to ordinary people's standards."
Xu Qian gave the restrictions for this gambling battle. If there were no restrictions, Peng Yingyu would give him a hundred people to nourish themselves with medicinal food every day and take medicinal baths to practice. After a month, Xu Qian might not be able to win.
Peng Yingyu agreed without thinking. He didn't think he would lose. After all, he had been a vegetarian for so many years, and the same was true for his subordinates.
Xu Qian's first proposal ended in a bet with Peng Yingyu. On the surface, Xu Qian seemed to have made a concession, but in fact, his goal had been achieved.
Proposing to abolish the clause "congregants are not allowed to eat meat or drink wine" in the canon, not only did Xu Qian want Mingjiao disciples to eat meat to become stronger, but Xu Qian also wanted to gain the say in the Mingjiao's teachings and rules.
It's boring to be a leader who is restricted by doctrines and rules. What Xu Qian wants to do is "what I say is the rules, and what I say is the doctrines." Other leaders are bound by the rules and doctrines, but Xu Qian is in turn restricting the rules and doctrines. Which one is more important?
It’s cool, no need to say more!
Mingjiao was spread from Persia to China. There were positive aspects that were beneficial to Xu Qian, but there were also many dross that were detrimental to Xu Qian.
If you don’t try to erase the negative side, is Xu Qian using Mingjiao, or is Mingjiao using Xu Qian?
If a person like Peng Yingyu continues to be stubborn about the so-called religious doctrines after the gambling fight comes to an end, Xu Qian will have no choice but to use some means to make him disappear physically.
