It's hard to imagine all the ghosts and ghosts in the world, on this peaceful day.
Li Xiuyuan, a born saint, would meet the previous saint in an inconspicuous mansion and an ordinary ancestral hall.
The former is a born saint, determined to rule the world of ghosts and gods, use tough methods and methods to purge the world, and redefine the rules of Yin and Yang. The latter is a scholar who has come step by step, from studying to becoming an official, and then to creating a new world.
Neo-Confucianism, determined to carry forward and educate all people.
One was young and full of vigor, the other died half way through, and on the bed of death, the now elderly God of Ghosts and Gods appeared in front of him.
But those who can embark on this path, no matter whether they have met before or whether they will be familiar with each other in the future, are worthy of respect for each other.
Because whether it is Li Xiuyuan or Zhu Shengren, their final goals are almost the same, and they are all for the four words of world peace.
Zhu Shengren spoke first: "I have been a ghost for a long time. I originally wanted to be reincarnated and serve the world with a useful body, but I didn't because I can't let go of this world. My philosophy is just to spread
Half of them are gone, and the ones left in the world may be mostly infamy, so I
I don’t want to see the second person end up like me today.”
"I wonder what Mr. Zhu has to say?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"You will die." Zhu Shengren said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Everyone will die, and I am no exception. And I have never thought about immortality."
"You will never finish your journey." Zhu Shengren said again.
"How to see it?"
Zhu Shengren said: "You kill too many people, and the cause and effect are too heavy. Once your luck declines, you will encounter a catastrophe of life and death that is almost impossible to survive. Moreover, your way has gone astray. You want to control ghosts and gods, and you want to calm the world.
It is not advisable. Only by being determined can you achieve success. If you cannot let go, you will
Nothing is gained."
Li Xiuyuan became silent after hearing this. He had to say that this Zhu Shengren had a very vicious vision, and he really cared too much.
"I heard a god say, can you solve my karma for me?" He turned to ask, "I wonder if Mr. Zhu can help me with this?"
"Then you must first agree to my request." Zhu Shengren said.
"Please Mr. Zhu speak frankly," Li Xiuyuan said.
Zhu Shengren said: "You must leave the capital after one month and never go northward for the rest of your life. If you agree, your Karma will memorize it for you and help you achieve enlightenment."
"How can I help?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Zhu Shengren said: "It has been twenty years since the Song Dynasty gave birth to you, and you have been responsible for protecting the destiny of the country for twenty years. Only after this great cause and effect can I help you."
"Why do you say Mr. Zhu wants me to serve the court?" Li Xiuyuan said: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhu to be a patriotic person, but the current court is not the same court when you were alive. Things have changed and people have changed, and time can change.
There are many things, why do I feel that the Song Dynasty is going to be doomed and cannot be saved?"
"No, you have no choice. There is no cause and effect, and your way cannot be achieved. I have both selfishness and sincerity, and it is not just to persuade you." Zhu Shengren said: "After becoming a ghost, I understand many things, such as"
"Like what?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Zhu Shengren said: "For example, the emperor of the next dynasty should be named Zhu."
"That's incredible. Mr. Zhu's luck continues, and his descendants will be blessed. An emperor will be born in future generations." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile,
He didn't mean to make fun of it, on the contrary, he was a little surprised.
Leaving blessings and luck to his descendants means that this saint Zhu could not become a saint or a god. He could only be reincarnated. Otherwise, the luck and blessings would always be with him. It is just that the saint's luck was too strong, leaving him
To future generations, if someone is born at the right moment and relies on this luck and blessing, he will become a king.
Even the princes, generals and ministers are not enough to exhaust this luck. Only an emperor can inherit such luck and blessings.
"Because only in this way can I inherit all your karma with the power of a dynasty. Your path will begin after I run out of luck. When the karma is eliminated, your path will be a road to the sky." Zhu Shengren said.
"How do you put it, don't I have to wait for hundreds of years?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Some things are worth waiting for, just like I'm waiting for you." Zhu Shengren said.
Li Xiuyuan added: "There are a few things that I'm very curious about. Mr. Zhu, please don't be offended. It is recorded in Mr. Zhu's book that you really died of beriberi?"
Zhu Shengren said: "No, I was framed and poisoned by gangsters. My ideas have influenced many people in the world. Some people agree, and naturally there are others who oppose it. It is not surprising that the dispute over ideas has turned into a cunning fight."
"Ideology? Preserving heaven's principles and destroying human desires?" Li Xiuyuan said.
When Zhu Shengren heard this, his face immediately darkened: "Has the world's distortion of my ideas become so serious? Do you know my original words?"
"Don't know much."
Zhu Shengren said: "Food, natural principles, delicacies from mountains and seas, human desires, husband and wife, natural principles, three wives and four concubines, human desires, I keep the natural principles, and eliminate human desires, which refers to the diet that should be normal, and those that should not be pursued
Luxurious delicacies from mountains and seas are just a waste of money, extravagance and arrogance.
Well, how can there be any merit in it? Husband and wife, the laws of nature? I teach the people to love and care for their wives, and not to indulge themselves wantonly by having three wives and four concubines."
"Those vicious literati in later generations will take the words out of context, which will make me infamy for thousands of years. Moreover, when I talk about Neo-Confucianism, it is about debating Yin and Yang, using the theory of Yin and Yang's breath to solve the confusion of ghosts and gods, so that the people of the world should not be superstitious about ghosts and gods. Is this wrong?
Already?"
After saying that, even after so many years of death, I couldn't help but feel sad and sad.
A beautiful idea has been misinterpreted in this way. If his body was not rotten, he might jump out of the coffin right now.
After hearing this, Li Xiuyuan understood Mr. Zhu's philosophy.
He advocated that people should be diligent and thrifty, not extravagant, and advocated monogamy instead of three wives and four concubines. He also taught people that ghosts and spirits are not worth fearing. They are just caused by the change of yin and yang. They are normal phenomena of heaven and earth, and there is no need to worship them excessively.
But the seemingly beautiful concept has offended many people behind the scenes.
First, ban extravagance? This offended countless dignitaries.
Monogamous?
As far as this era is concerned, it is too early and simply out of date. Even the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards. How can he advocate monogamy?
To prevent the people from being superstitious? Isn't this cutting off the incense in the temples all over the world? Those who rely on these for food and the ghosts and gods must not join forces to destroy you.
"Do you think my philosophy is wrong?" Zhu Shengren asked.
Li Xiuyuan said; "Your idea is right, but the world is wrong. This world cannot tolerate your idea for the time being, but I think your idea is a seed. If you plant it today, it may blossom and bear fruit in a thousand years."
After all, if you can become a saint, God agrees with your ideas, otherwise you can’t
That’s why it’s sanctified, isn’t it?”
Zhu Shengren calmed down for a while, and then said in despair: "It's useless. I am not a saint, only a half-saint. Even if the idea is spread, it can only achieve half of the expectations."
"But it doesn't matter. Your idea can suppress the ghosts and gods in the world. As long as it succeeds, it will help me carry forward my idea. So when I help you, I am also helping me. Do you have any other questions now?"
Li Xiuyuan said: "There is one last thing. Later generations say that you made your daughter-in-law's belly bigger. Is this true?"
Zhu Shengren's face suddenly turned red and purple with anger, as if he was changing his face, and green smoke was rising from his head.
"Good boy, I, I," he was trembling with anger, looked around, suddenly picked up a ruler from the altar table nearby, rolled up his sleeves and called Li Xiuyuan.
"Look, if I don't teach you a lesson, I'm innocent. Is it possible that I have to bear such a stigma even after I die?"
Saying this, he knocked it on the head seriously.
Li Xiuyuan was startled. He did not block his aura today. There was nothing strange within three feet of Mr. Zhu approaching him like a ghost.
Zhu Shengren seemed to have seen his surprise and said, "Let me tell you that the ghosts and gods you are doing are not close to each other. It is because your breath and the breath of ghosts and gods are not compatible. Your breath is upright and pure, while the breath of ghosts and gods is cold and mixed. With my breath,
The explanation of the concept is that Yin and Yang are incompatible and mutually exclusive, so
And ghosts and gods cannot get close to you, but I am still a semi-saint after death, and my breath is close to you. You can drive away ghosts and gods, but you cannot drive away me."
"Mr. Zhu, are you still going to hit me?" Li Xiuyuan reacted and evaded quickly.
Years of practicing martial arts are not in vain.
However, he also knew that his question was too offending, and seemed to challenge the Zhu Shengren's bottom line.
"I'm sure you're right, I'll hit you if you ask, don't leave, kid." Zhu Shengren chased after him with a ruler in hand.
