The bell rang at the hour, the footsteps of the three Venerables stepping on the round platform and Wang Mei's loud greeting happened at the same moment, not only the scholars present, but even the prominent people were collectively stunned, Fang followed Wang Mei's pace as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said respectfully in unison:

"Greetings to His Holiness Righteousness. ”

Among the three Venerables on the stage, Cui Yuan's face was the most ugly. The three of them had already walked to the center of the round platform at this time, and he was finally able to see Wang Mei's appearance completely at this moment:

Phoenix Eyes - frivolous!

Nose - stubborn!

Sakura lips - thin love!

Even Wang's slightly pointed chin was interpreted by Cui Yuan as a sign of treachery. He snorted fiercely in his nose, and the impression of Wang Mei in his heart was further deteriorated. Immediately, without looking at Wang Meidi, he walked straight to the front of the round platform and the seat set up for His Holiness.

Li Mo followed behind Cui Yuan, but he was not as extreme as Cui Yuan, he looked at the saluting Wang Mei quite playfully, first smiled meaningfully on his face, and then said happily: "Okay, let's get up." ”

As the head of the family, Wang Cheng finally ascended the high platform, he looked at his own disciples who were amazed by Wang Mei's appearance, and then looked at Wang Mei who looked as usual, sighed slightly in his heart, and still maintained the majesty of the head of the family on his face, and walked to the central seat set up for him without squinting, and then said loudly:

"Everyone, please get up!"

As his words landed, everyone, including the children of the Wang family who participated in the Qing Talk, and Wang Mei all knelt on the futons one by one. Seeing that everyone was in good order, Wang Cheng looked at Cui Yuan and Li Mo who were sitting on his left and right sides, and seeing that the two of them were also affirming, he continued:

"Today's old man, by virtue of his old age, is the one who stands for the righteousness, and the first righteousness of the lord is 'the ignorance of the dead'. ’’

"The dead are ignorant?

"Well, it seems so. ”

"I originally thought that this Qing talk would be dominated by Sanxuan. ”

"Yes, I've been studying Lao Zhuang for the past two days. ”

"Haha, Ziran, are you really studying Lao Zhuang in the past two days?"

As soon as Xuanyi came out, the first thing to react was not the host and guest on the stage, but the young men who watched the battle below. What they need to consider is whether to join this round of talks and act as a negotiation assistant.

However, not everyone has heard the origin of this statement. Therefore, most people choose to wait and see, and only wait for the host to explain their content clearly before making a decision.

Wang Cheng waited until the audience gradually stopped the discussion, and saw that no one had decided to join the Qing Talks as a talking assistant at this time, so he solemnly announced: "Then, please explain the main purpose of the content." ”

The meaning of this discussion is not that it has been decided to notify the host and guest in advance and make their own preparations. Rather, it was decided on the improvised basis by the three Venerable Righteous Beings within an hour before the beginning of the Enlightenment.

This is an extreme test of the knowledge of the two sides to talk about sitting on Xiaolang. Whether the dabbling in books and the familiarity and understanding of books on weekdays are accurate, whether they have the intention to think when reading, and even whether they can draw inferences about what they read together, these efforts have become the key to whether both parties can understand the debate at this time.

In the "Confucius Family Sayings", there is a reflection chapter: Zigong asked Confucius and said: The deceased has the knowledge to be ignorant? Zi said: I want to say that I have the knowledge of death, and I will fear that the filial son will be sent to death by the birth of the grandson; I want to say the ignorance of death, and I will abandon the son who is afraid of unfilial piety and not bury him. ”

(If there is still consciousness after death.) Then the filial sons will be busy thinking about the afterlife, and will even ignore the living, and if people are unconscious after death, then the unfilial people will not even bury their parents)

In the silence, Wang Yuan took the lead in calmly opening his mouth, and slowly explained the source of this debate in one sentence. Seeing that everyone looked thoughtful, he continued:

"I secretly believe that throughout the ages, both sages and ordinary people have cherished longevity as a blessing, and there is no case where anyone can know after death. Therefore, everyone only has this life, so they work diligently to fill their stomachs, fill their stomachs to live a long life, and know more about longevity, so as to work hard and become something that has never been done before. In this way, the sages are connected and replaced, so that there is what we know and see now. ”

After discussing the theme, he again used the example of the long-lived people of the past and the present as a lucky few, and discussed that the ignorance of death allows people to be angry and strong in their limited lives, so as to inspire themselves to reach heights that have never been reached before. Only in this way can social progress be achieved.

He didn't say this too quickly, the logical relationship between each sentence and each sentence was clear, and most of the scholars sitting in the hall agreed.

"If the dead have knowledge, why should the sages write books and say them for posterity? Although the things of ghosts and gods have existed since ancient times, how many people have really seen them?"

As soon as Wang Yuan's explanation was finished, before Wang Qi, who was sitting in the second place, spoke, Wang Sheng explained it from another aspect in a cross-examination. Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, Wang Mei chuckled, shook his head and said:

"Then may I ask, can the Jinyang Wang clan set up an ancestral temple?

As soon as she said this, everyone present was in an uproar, and the question was a little heart-wrenching. Those present, including the audience, are all scholars and gentlemen, even if they are from a century-old inheritance family, who does not have an ancestral temple? Who will not worship their ancestors? You must know that the number of tablets in this ancestral temple is the capital of the pride of these scholars.

Seeing that everyone's faces changed slightly, Wang Mei continued:

Even Confucius did not deny the matter of ghosts and gods. It is common knowledge that the dead know, and the writings of the sages were mostly written in life, but because the words of the dead are difficult for the living to understand. There are only two states between life and death, such as yin and yang, which are the constant rate of all things. It's just that there is still a separation between yin and yang, and it is difficult to communicate with each other, but I have not seen it, but it is not absent. ”

"So, do you dare to kill yourself here, so as to prove this?"

As soon as this voice came out, everyone looked at the person who exited, but this person was not either the host or guest, but a Xiaolang sitting in the audience, who opened his mouth as a talker at this time.

"Haha!!With such a dullness to attract everyone's attention, this Xiaolang can be regarded as the best among them!" Wang Mei sat in his position and didn't even move, just looked at the other party's eyes full of pity, and the words he said were more like sharp blades, cutting off that Xiaolang's face twice.

"Oh, then, did Lang have no courage to prove to death?" The little man was ridiculed by the king's eyebrows, his face was red and blue, and the words he asked again carried an eerie malice.

"Who will you show if you prove that you will know after death? Besides, if I prove that you will know after death, you may prove that you will be ignorant after death? This little lang, you don't seem to understand the so-called mystery of this talk at all? I don't know who Xiao Lang studied from?"
