It is not forbidden for monsters to attack and kill each other. This is also a rule set by the major heavenly monsters in order to keep the monsters in the middle and lower classes with a desire to kill and prevent them from becoming corrupted in their comfort.
Therefore, ordinary killings will not attract the attention of the top leaders of the demon clan.
However, this killing was unusual because there were hundreds of them in a row.
And with so much killing, there is no powerful monster rising!
More importantly, there is no need to be so secretive when killing each other.
This is most likely not a killing battle within the demon clan. It is most likely the work of enemies of the demon clan, or those demons!
This has to be taken seriously by them!
"We must give an order to notify the various military envoys and patrol envoys nearby to look for this monster.
As long as we find any traces, we will kill them without mercy!"
The leader of the monster made a decision.
"yes!"
…
In the night, the lights on the city are brightly lit.
The soldiers on the top of the city were all wearing armor and holding long swords.
In such a crisis-ridden world, no city dares to slack off.
No one knows when we will encounter a crisis!
There is a tacit understanding and agreement between those heavenly demons, the demon king, and the Jingren court, but no one can control the little demons under the Jiedushi Inspector.
Those little monsters may be nothing to Tao Xiaowu, and they can be easily strangled to death.
But for ordinary people, monsters of the sixth and seventh grades are beyond the range that most weapons can deal with.
It is a very terrifying existence!
Tao Xiaowu's entry into the city did not attract anyone's attention.
He soon came to a large courtyard with at least hundreds of rooms, and heard the sound of reading.
Hundreds of children are reciting the Thousand-Character Prose: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive..."
As they read their lessons aloud, a little light rose from the top. Although it was very weak, it was the real fire of humanity!
"These are all seeds!"
Tao Xiaowu smiled and murmured to himself.
When these children grow up and mature in the future, they will sow the seeds of the fire of humanity in all directions, eventually forming a spark that will start a prairie fire in this copy of time and space!
Tao Xiaowu looked in other directions and said with a smile: "These are also seeds!"
In other places in this courtyard, there are also scholars who are studying hard, or several people are arguing with each other.
A strong learning atmosphere permeated it.
Tao Xiaowu nodded slightly and said to himself: "The White Deer Academy seems to be doing well!"
But he took one step forward and arrived at a room.
In this study, more than a dozen Confucian scholars were quoting scriptures and arguing with each other, and among them was Li Guangsu.
These people were arguing fiercely. When they saw Tao Xiaowu's appearance, they all felt happy and stopped: "Sir is back!"
Tao Xiaowu smiled and said: "The academy is doing well!"
Li Guangsu was slightly surprised and said: "Every chapter of the academy is in accordance with Mr.'s strategy. It is done well only because of Mr. Talent!"
Tao Xiaowu waved his hands and said with a smile: "I just came up with a few ideas, and you did the rest. Speaking of which, you did a good job!
That's right, what are you arguing about?" Tao Xiaowu asked with a smile.
In fact, with Tao Xiaowu's cultivation level, he naturally knew what these people were arguing about.
Just asking a question is just to lead the conversation.
"Let's discuss the difference between mind and matter later. Which comes first, mind or matter?"
"Oh, what do you think?"
"The fire of humanity taught to us by the teacher is filled in the heart. Naturally, the heart comes before the things!"
"Sir, you have already said that the reason why we study is to govern the country and bring peace to the world, and to explore the great ways of the world.
In this case, our hearts are naturally born from all things in the Great Way. How can we say that the heart comes before things?
Of course, things come first!"
Both sides held their own opinions and could not argue for a while.
Tao Xiaowu smiled and nodded. This is actually a very classic theory of materialism and idealism.
Questions like these often flow into the question of which comes first, the chicken or the egg, which seems unnecessary.
However, for these scholars, it is an issue that needs to be discussed!
Even Tao Xiaowu was lost in thought.
Because this question also marks the direction of the humanistic Confucianism he founded.
Logically speaking, Tao Xiaowu should certainly support the theory that mind comes first.
This is because the Confucianism and humanistic cultivation he founded emphasizes everything. Only when one's own mind is born, with light and no confusion, can one feel it and understand it, and give birth to a bright flame.
However, Tao Xiaowu also faced a problem, that is, in the humanistic Confucianism he established, the source of all power is the fire of humanity.
The fire of humanity is the fire of humanity, the power of all living beings.
It is not something that comes from one's own possessions, but one's own mind that masters Confucian principles in order to understand such flames.
Therefore, the fire of humanity is real!
It’s something outside the heart!
Therefore, Tao Xiaowu's humanistic Confucianism naturally cannot take the path of having nothing outside the heart.
The two parties talked and couldn't argue, so they came to Tao Xiaowu again and asked: "Sir, please tell me whether the heart comes first, or the things come first!"
Tao Xiaowu smiled and picked a plum blossom from the potted plant next to him, held it in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I watch flowers, so the flowers are here."
Those Confucian scholars who supported the idea that the heart should come first were all happy.
However, Tao Xiaowu then closed his eyes and asked with a smile: "So now that I close my eyes, are the flowers still there?"
As soon as these words came out, those who supported him showed joy in their hearts.
However, at this time, a voice came from the window, saying: "What do you mean, sir? When you look at flowers, the flowers exist for you."
If you don’t look at the flowers, the flowers will not exist for you.
But to others, this flower remains the same?"
Everyone looked over and saw a beautiful face outside the window.
It was Li Yaoyu, Li Guangsu’s daughter!
Just when Li Guangsu was about to scold his daughter, he saw Tao Xiaowu suddenly smiled and said: "What the Li family girl said is right, that's exactly what it is!"
Then he extended his sermon: "I see flowers, so they are there. I don't see flowers, so for me, this flower naturally does not exist."
Just like us humans, living in the world, I can see, touch, hear, and smell everything in this world.
Therefore, all these exist.
However, if we die, it will be over and we will not even have our souls left.
So what does everything in this world have to do with us?
Therefore, everything in the world exists because of me!
However, I am just one person in this world.
Even if I am gone, will all the things in this world still exist for you?
Even if you are no longer here, are your descendants still there?
