Chapter 7: The Theory of Demons (II)
Of course, Bai Ze is also very smart, and he didn't say anything about seeing the old man Jiang drinking tea by himself, so he asked rhetorically: "Later, you won't tell me that these immortals and demons are still fighting to the death, right?" "After all, if you make up a lie, you always have to lie with countless lies, there will always be a loophole in Old Man Jiang's rhetoric, as long as this loophole is found, Bai Ze can make Old Man Jiang lose face, and he can also turn passive into active.

Professor Jiang smiled, poured a few sips of herbal tea, and continued to talk, while Bai Ze sat up straight, engrossed in preparing to find flaws, and a secret contest began.
―――――― fact, the battle between demons and human beings is not only in China, but all over the world, and the most fierce is almost all among the four ancient civilizations. Of course, I'm mainly talking about our Chinese part, the melee has been continuing, the demons and immortals have their own victories, the turning point happened in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some of the great wisdom of human beings who have cultivated secret arts are benevolent, and they are not selfish to retain their understanding of the world, and they began to come out one after another to carry forward their own doctrines to try to educate ignorant human beings, this is the famous period of the hundred schools of thought. Although demons and immortals have been manipulating human countries during this period, the education of the hundreds of schools of thought has also made our Chinese civilization shine, but a major event happened later. This event was passed down by word of mouth in our Taoist Academy, and at the same time, this event also made a person, and this person was Qin Shi Huang. Why was Qin Shi Huang able to unify the six countries, because at that time, almost half of the demons and immortals left, so Qin Shi Huang did not encounter any obstacles.
―――――― this major event happened when Lao Tzu rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass, some people say that when Lao Tzu passed through Hangu Pass, there was purple qi coming from the east, which was the manifestation of a saint or the like, but in fact, the purple qi came from the east because there was a space-time rift, and a portal to a new world or a new universe appeared. Lao Tzu is a pure and inactive person, originally wanted to try to change this turbid world, but the inferior nature of human beings is too heavy, he has long been tired of fighting, and he will not be nostalgic when he has the opportunity to leave at this time, so he hurriedly wrote down his understanding of this world and handed it to Guan Ling, Yin Xi rode a bull into the gate of time and space. This gate of time and space has existed for a long time, and later I don't know who said that there are treasures in the gate of time and space, so all capable demons and immortals have formed a group to drill in, and the whole world is clean as soon as these people leave. Most of the rest of the people are juniors who are not in the climate, and those who have a little ability have entered the gate of time and space, and later Qin Shi Huang also went to sea to find them in order to seek the elixir of immortality, but at that time, most of the people had already gone to the empty building, and those who were left were busy with cultivation and did not care about the mundane human war.
"Why don't the rest of the people fight? Isn't this a great opportunity? If you control the first emperor, you will control the entire kingdom of China. Bai Ze reacted quickly, and when Professor Jiang stopped, he immediately asked this illogical point.
"The bosses are suddenly gone, these little ones must be the first to grab the mountain, and then the main thing is to loot the bosses' property, who has time to take care of us mortals. It's like the teacher in the school, the principal is suddenly gone, will you still be so concerned about the exam? I must go back to my own house to find my own mother. Later, when the mountain was almost occupied, they came out again, and it happened that the world was in chaos again. Old man Jiang shook his head with a smile.
"You mean that every war in China was deliberately provoked? Most of this should be a question of the direction of history, and why did the fight last so long leave only some unfounded legends, why are they all hidden and unborn? Bai Ze is still unconvinced, and he doesn't believe it even more, the fight is so inexorable, there are also people who call themselves immortals, if what Old Man Jiang said is true, there will definitely be records in history, and with the temperament of those immortals, the biggest possibility should be to build their own mountain gate like in the novel, wouldn't it be better to fight.
"Those people before the hundred schools of thought were because demons and immortals were opponents of each other, each had their own scruples, and there were many people who were born, represented by the hundreds of schools of thought, they were those immortals who still had a conscience. In fact, it should have been recorded in history at that time, but it was burned by Qin Shi Huang, which was a well-known policy of fooling the people in the feudal era. At that time, there were too many demons and immortals, but there were also a few great powers left behind to guard the town, you should also know that it was Confucianism and Taoism, and the well-known ones at that time should be the Confucian Mencius and Taoist Zhuangzi of the same era. “
"Zhuangzi and Mencius? I know this, the history books record that they are in the same era, but they never get along with each other for a long time, and they have nothing to do with each other in their lives. I probably know a few reasons for this, Mencius had a very high status at that time, but Zhuangzi was poor all his life, and Confucianism advocated that Taoism is different and not conspiratory, so Mencius may not want to know Zhuangzi. And I have a doubt, at that time, these people who called themselves immortals were immortal like the immortals in the novel? "Bai Ze's wild history has been read a lot, and it comes in handy at this time, he has to put forward all the flaws that can be used, history records that Zhuangzi and Lao Tzu both died of old age, if so, Old Man Jiang's logic doesn't make sense. At the same time as the question was asked, Bai Ze was also secretly observing Old Man Jiang's reaction.
Old man Jiang was still very calm, drank the water in the teacup, and then shook his head and smiled while starting the car: "How can Zhuangzi and Mencius not know each other, they know each other, it's just that there is no record in the history books, and the information was deliberately erased by someone with a heart." I don't know if it was because of Confucian ambitions to control China, or because the world wanted to end the situation of chaos, Mencius's path was no different from before. Zhuangzi is lazy, the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu is too lazy to care, he is even more lazy to care, he just uses his weak influence to educate those who seem to be smarter, and Zhuangzi is actually disdainful of Mencius's behavior in essence. He said in his book Zhibei Journey that the sage ignores the people with courtesy, and the ruler rules the people with courtesy, which in some respects is actually satirizing Confucianism. As for eternal life, it is impossible at all, it is true that it will live a little longer than ordinary people. “
"Those who steal the hook are punished, and those who steal the country are princes, and indeed the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism have become a means for rulers to steal state power, and etiquette is just mutual hypocrisy and fraud......" Bai Ze likes Zhuangzi very much, and has read many of his works, some of the behaviors of the Chinese people are indeed deeply influenced by Confucianism, the good ones have not learned, but the bad ones have learned a car, for example, one set and one set have been learned to the extreme.
"Young man, I didn't expect you to really read a lot of books, people like you are the most troublesome, there will be preconceived ideas, values have been solidified, I really want to put the facts and reason with you for three days and three nights, in this way, let's eat first, you go back to pack up your things at night, and I will take you back to the Taoist Academy tomorrow." Old man Jiang was very thief, drove the car to a local restaurant near the school, and stopped the car to prepare for dinner, he saw Bai Ze's reaction, and knew that he was not in a hurry for a while, and it was just a matter of talking.
Bai Ze felt that Old Man Jiang was empty-hearted, because the more he talked about the flaws, the more flaws he had, and he was not stupid, how could he be so easily deceived. He didn't know that Old Man Jiang just had no water in the teacup, so he said it lazily, after all, "Demon Theory" is as thick as more than a dozen Xinhua dictionaries, just say something casually and let Bai Ze know that there are some concepts and be mentally prepared.
Bai Ze actually said that he didn't believe it, he was still half-convinced in his heart, people are sometimes very strange, and he would rather believe that there are aliens than believe that demons are real. Because once Old Man Jiang's argument is established, the worldview they know will definitely collapse, and the world around them will become terrifying.
And just when Bai Ze and Old Man Jiang were arguing, the wild wolf team led by Ji Haoran had already begun to set off, and according to reliable information, what they were looking for might be in Nagano County, where there must be important clues......
