Chapter 47: Descending the Mountain
Hearing this, Zeng Liang opened his mouth and said: "It was the old gentleman who personally came up with the question, if it wasn't for the old gentleman himself, I wouldn't have come to trouble Senior Brother Yingdao to help solve your doubts." ”
"The old gentleman's question?"
Ying Dao was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Recently, there is a saying in the Confucian Holy Village: Cultivation does not know how to ask the teacher, and the scriptures do not know how to ask the Tao, which also greatly makes some Confucian disciples lazy, thinking that if you have doubts, you will go to find someone to solve your doubts, without having to think about it a lot, which will also make you unable to further improve your cultivation." ”
"After the old gentleman saw this bad trend, he came up with this question to warn all Confucian disciples."
Zeng Liang was dazed, looked at Ying Dao with a puzzled expression, and asked: "Since the old gentleman has seen this bad trend, he can directly explain it to my disciples and other disciples, why do you need such trouble with this question?" ”
"You'll have to think for yourselves."
Ying Dao smiled slightly and said: "The Analects of the Analects of the Mean, in the book The Analects, the ancestor regarded the 'mean' as the highest moral standard and the highest wisdom for him to solve all problems. ”
The implications are roughly threefold. Integrity in the middle of the law: abide by the middle way, adhere to the principle, impartiality, no fault; ”
"Compromise: Harmony in dual-use, harmony but difference;"
"Exercising power in time: adapt to the times, keep pace with the times, communicate with changes, and adapt to changes."
"Taken together, the mean is to abide by the middle way, adhere to principles, be impartial, and have no faults. When dealing with contradictions, we are good at holding on to dual uses, compromise and harmony, and pursue neutrality, neutrality, stability and harmony. And at any time, according to the times, keep pace with the times. ”
After saying this, Ying Dao looked at Zeng Liang, who had a clear face, and said with a smile: "This also shows that if any Confucian disciple is confused and looks for someone to help in the future, then he will be severely punished." ”
Zeng Liang also solved this question, and a wry smile appeared on his face, and said: "Senior Brother Yingdao, the old gentleman refers to the next, this time it doesn't count, right?" ”
"Then I don't know." Ying Dao smiled, nodded Zeng Liang's eyebrows, and said, "You have to do things by yourself, and you have to solve problems by yourself, so that you can make progress in your cultivation...... After all, you have to eat your own food, don't you? ”
"Okay, I see." Zeng Liang's face completely collapsed, because he had already seen the old gentleman walking in from outside the library, followed by a group of teenagers of the same age, all of whom were like frosted eggplants.
"Old gentleman."
Seeing the old man walk in, Ying Dao hurriedly stood up, brushed away the dust, arched his hand, and said respectfully.
"You little dolls, run along the mountain village for a day, and you can only stop in the evening, if anyone dares to be lazy, the old man promises that the next punishment will make you suffer even more." The old man said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
A group of teenagers suddenly straightened up and ran out of the library.
Seeing this group of teenagers running out, Ying Dao's face also showed a smile, he is not like before now, his temperament has changed greatly, as if he is a humble gentleman, a standard upright gentleman.
This is the result of Ying Dao's self-cultivation in the past four months, and he has now reached the eighth peak of the Xuantian Realm, and he can step into the ninth level of the Xuantian Realm at any time.
"Little doll, you can go down the mountain." The old man squinted at Ying Dao and said.
Ying Dao nodded, stood up, brushed the dust off his body, and said to the old man: "Thank you for the guidance of the old gentleman in the past four months, Ying Dao will never forget it." ”
"It's just a small matter." The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't say any more polite words, you are not a true disciple of my Confucianism, now your temperament has changed, but after you go out, you often face fighting and killing, and you will have your own temperament." ”
Ying Dao nodded noncommittally and said, "I am who I am, even if I have a heroic and righteous spirit, it is difficult to become a real gentleman." ”
"A true villain is better than a hypocrite." The old man smiled and said, "Go ahead, the disciple of my Confucian Holy Village is not inferior to any disciple of the Four Great Spiritual Courtyards, the old man doesn't need you to get the title of the champion of the Ying family, what the old man wants is for you to stand at the peak of this world and complete your own ideas!" ”
"Yes, old man!"
Ying Dao was grateful, and the old man had a great guiding grace to him after the fat monk, and he could not forget these two teachers for the rest of his life.
Evening.
Ying Dao was dressed in a cloth robe, with a straight body, watching the sunset proudly, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.
He knew very well that once he went down the mountain, everyone in the Ying family would stop him from feeling the Ying family, and he was not afraid, he knew that if there were enemies, there would be friends, and Uncle Ying Zhongzhen was his strongest backing!
…………
"Teacher, ...... he's gone" Kong Chizi's figure appeared beside the old man, and when he saw a look of relief in the old man's eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Teacher, you have taught another outstanding disciple." ”
"No, he is not my disciple, and our relationship can be described as friends." The old man shook his head and said: "Child, this little doll seems to be ignorant and ignorant, but she has a great deal of reason, and some of the words she said are even a little incomprehensible to me, and only after listening to his explanation, it suddenly dawned on me, do you say ridiculous?" ”
"It's not ridiculous, after all, it's a good time to learn." Kong Chizi didn't mean to make fun of it, and said seriously.
"yes, I'm always learning." The old man sighed: "The Buddha and the demon were born, the world was in chaos, and in a few years, the catastrophe sixteen years ago would be turned over, and eventually it would evolve into a chaotic era." ”
"Who turned it out?" When Kong Chizi heard this, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
"When the day is right, the place is right, and the people are ...... and the corresponding avenue to reason, in addition to Ying Dao, the old man really can't think of a second person. The old man said deeply.
"You said yes?" Kong Chizi's eyes were very shocked, which he didn't expect at all.
"This son is not a thing in the pool, you and I don't need to worry too much! There is no perfect thing in the world, not even the three thousand universes, the laws of the Great Dao do not have any perfection to say, the Buddha and the demon will eventually be born, although many Buddhas and demons have been killed by the Buddha and the demons, but this catastrophe will eventually come! The old man's eyes emitted a terrifying light and he said in a deep voice.
Kong Chizi's heart was shocked, he knew very well how much gold the old man's words were, if Ying Dao really set off a chaotic world in the future, then Ying Dao really broke all the peace and became the culprit of the world.
At that time, Ying Dao will be the enemy of the whole world, and everyone will be punished!
