Lu Yan left Xiaomeng and stood on a cliff staring at the white mist.
Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said, "Who is this Taoist gentleman? Please show up and see me."
"Lu Zi, I haven't seen you for many years, but your style remains the same."
The visitor's voice sounded like the sound of a clear spring, and his face appeared in the twists and turns of light and shadow under the moon. He was a Taoist Qingzi, Qingxu.
Lu Yan showed an unexpected expression and greeted politely: "It turns out to be Mr. Qingxu. We have been separated for many years."
Qingxu walked to him, stood side by side with him, lowered his head slightly and said, "Uncle Xiaomeng is arrogant by nature. I hope Lu Zi won't be offended."
"Well, I don't have the same knowledge as her. But, regarding her growth, is there something wrong with Tianzong..."
"Master Uncle Xiaomeng's talent is rare to see in hundreds of years. Master Beiming taught him personally. Lu Zi is overly worried."
Lu Yan: I really want to say, Qingxu, you are overthinking...
Arrogant by nature, none of the top characters in Qin Shizhong were arrogant, and there was no one who was as arrogant as Xiao Meng. How Bei Mingzi taught him was outrageous.
Xiaomeng keeps saying that she doesn't care about worldly grades, status, status, other people's words, and other messy things, but she behaves like a quarrel with everyone. As the head of the Tianzong, a junior disciple of the Murderous Sect can't even blink an eye, and she also "
Renzong has completely lost the value of its existence."
Because he saw through the shackles of the hatred of the country and the family, Mengdie went into seclusion for ten years. As a result, he behaved like this after he was released. So, is this the shackles of the hatred of the country and the family, and then jumped into the shackles of orthodoxy?
When Qingxu saw that Lu Yan was silent, he thought he was still unhappy, so he added: "I have to thank Lu Zi for being merciful."
"If she knows that you thanked me for this, I'm afraid she won't have a good impression of you from now on." Lu Yan turned his head and glanced at his face, then said, "Sir, you have nothing to say about the current situation of the Tianren and Ren sects.
What do you think?"
When talking about this topic, Qingxu shook his head repeatedly and lamented: "Since Master Changwu traveled around the world and Uncle Chisong became the leader, I expected the current situation.
The disciples in the sect, headed by Junior Brother Qing Le, all regard themselves as orthodox Taoists, and they all think about the merger of the Tian Sect and the Human Sect. Three years from now, the sword debate between Heaven and Man will be bloody."
"Bloodlight?!" Lu Yan was shocked, do you Taoists also want to imitate the Guigu sect, and even resort to deadly attacks during the competition?
"Lu Zi has never seen the last time that heaven and man discussed swords. Uncle Chisong and Uncle Chuanxu. In the end, the two of them had murderous intentions."
As Lu Yan's peer and the most outstanding person among the Taoist Qing generation, Qingxu's judgment is still very reliable.
Lu Yan sensed Qingxu's cultivation, but he couldn't figure it out. At least he had the Dacheng realm, but he didn't know how deeply he was immersed in it.
He turned around and asked: "Sir, since you predict that the next battle between heaven and man will be unfortunate, why don't you try to stop it?"
Qingxu let out a sigh: "It is useless to be capable but not helpful to the cause. Among the two Qing sects, I am the only one who has achieved great success. Unless I want to help Uncle Chisong attack the Ren sect, I will definitely interfere if I do so."
It’s hard to please both sides. If we act as an outside balancer, we might be able to prevent the situation from getting worse.”
Lu Yan stepped into Qingxu's perspective and found that it was indeed the case. The Tianzong merged with the Renzong, and the Renzong merged with the Tianzong. He didn't want to see either outcome, so he could only jump out of it. The problems left by the Taoist ancestors
, finally it is about to explode now.
Qingxu remembered something and asked for advice: "Lu Zi, Confucianism is divided into eight schools. Although I have always heard of academic disputes and even scolding, there has been no bloodshed. May I ask the secret behind it?"
"The Little Sage's Village was originally established by the three schools of Confucianism. It followed the principle of teaching without discrimination and had students all over the world. After the decline of Jixia Academy, the holy place for scholars all over the world was the Little Sage's Village.
Although there are eight sects of Confucianism, the other sects are still unable to challenge the status of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, so they naturally default to it as the representative of Confucianism, and there will be no violent conflicts that lead to bloodshed."
"I see."
Confucianism is very secular. This pattern is determined based on the strength of each faction and its influence in the world. But Taoism...
Seeing that he seemed to have some understanding, Lu Yan couldn't help but add: "Well, with all due respect, this kind of experience talk may have little effect on Taoism."
"Hmm? I'd like to hear the details."
"Confucianism attaches great importance to reputation in the world. If a faction wants to challenge Xiaoshengxian Manor, it must have a reputation that rivals it. And in this regard, Xiaoshengxian Manor has a great advantage.
For Taoism, external reputation is like a floating cloud, and the disciples of our sect naturally have their hearts attached to our sect. It doesn’t matter whether we suppress or not suppress them. Between the two sects of heaven and man, no one can subdue the other."
Qingxu closed his eyes after listening, with a look of shame on his face, "Laozi said: If you learn more and more, you will lose it if you do the Tao. If you lose it again and again, you will do nothing. If you learn more and more, you will know it when you see Lu Zi; if you do the Tao, you will lose it.
Damn it, my Taoist family made fun of the Fang family."
I am afraid that the ideological realm of the leader Chisong is not as good as that of Qingxu.
Lu Yan complained in his heart and said humbly: "Sir, you don't have to be like this. Yan is just a common person. Taoism is extraordinary and refined, so there is no need to compare it with him."
"I have long heard that Lu Zi is knowledgeable in hundreds of schools of thought. The brief exchange with Master Xiaomeng just now shows that he is proficient in my Taoist theory. I dare you to give Lu Zi a try on my Taoist theory. Please listen attentively."
After Qingxu finished speaking, he simply assumed the posture of a student. Although Lu Yan was a little embarrassed, he could only continue to speak.
"In fact, Yan has always respected Taoism. Taoism adheres to the pure land of the human soul. On this point, other schools cannot compare with Taoism. As for governing the country, Taoism can only be said to have
Some of them provide guidance, but most of them are inoperable."
"Appreciate further details."
"In Yan's opinion, there are three representatives of Taoist thought, Yang Zhu, Laozi, and Zhuangzi."
"Yang Zhu?" Qingxu almost thought that his ears were broken, so he confirmed it and asked: ""Mencius: Wholeheartedness" once criticized: Yang Zi takes me as my own, plucking a hair and benefiting the world, there is nothing to do. Lu Zi, you
Do you really think Yang Zhu’s thoughts represent Taoism?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Zhu, the protagonist of the idiom "Happy for Money".
Someone asked, if plucking out one of your leg hairs could save the world, Yang Zhu, would you do it?
Yang Zhu decisively replied: No.
From then on, Yang Zhu became a representative figure of selfishness and was scolded miserably.
Yang Zhu is unjustly accused of this. If Yang Zhu is really such a selfish villain, he is not worthy of being called a thinker or philosopher at all. Those selfish villains in future generations should not use him as an excuse.
Yang Zhu's "not pulling out a hair" has a prerequisite thought, that is, whether people can love themselves. If everyone does not love themselves, the world will still be full of harm, and Yang Zhu's countless leg hairs cannot save the world. If everyone loves themselves and does not harm themselves, there will be no harm.
Needs his leg hair to save the world.
The mainstream social atmosphere at this time was that a scholar would die for his bosom friend, loyalty, and righteousness. People would sacrifice their lives for fame and profit. Faced with such a situation, Yang Zhu believed that as long as everyone absolutely cherishes his own life,
, if you don’t do risky things, the world will be peaceful and no one will be in crisis.
This idea seems a bit retarded at first glance, but during the Warring States Period, it opened up the understanding that people's lives should belong to themselves and people should protect their own lives.
When people live in this world, "I" should be the center. However, the dazzling external objects in this world make people forget "I" and lose themselves.
Any achievement of meritorious service is nonsense, that is, the monarch is using you. People should explore their own inner self and reach a state of self-sufficiency, so that they can get rid of the shackles of society and gain their own humanity.
Correspondingly, his political thoughts are easy to understand. All state rule will hinder individual freedom. He advocated the establishment of a new society where the world is for the common good.
"If everyone could truly cherish their own lives, there would be no war in the world. It's a pity that this only exists in Yang Zhu's fantasy.
Be self-centered, reduce the influence of external things, reduce inner desires, and achieve peace of mind. With such a state of mind, Yang Zhu, as the representative of Taoist thought in Yan's mind, should be more than enough."
Qingxu was able to understand his ancestor Yang Zhu from a different perspective, and he felt a different kind of joy in his heart. He said respectfully to Lu Yan: "Even the remarks of Mencius, the ancestor of Confucianism, have been denied by Lu Zi. Qingxu accepts his teachings."
