Chapter 69

"Humph! That's for the sake of planning, and it's a last resort! The butcher retorted with a frown.

"Acting a full set, can't you be dedicated to the plan?" Li Changding joked.

In order to take care of the members of the group, in the past few days, Li Changding has successively taken them all under the door, and at this time they are all disciples of Li Changding, among which the butcher who leaned over the woman in black is the senior brother. Of course, in order to appease the gentry in the city, Li Changding also took a few qualified children from the gentry and put them together in the door wall.

However, in order to reduce the entanglement of cause and effect, these disciples of Li Changding, including the members of the group, are all registered disciples, and the relationship is more similar to that of teachers and students in private schools.

The butcher was silent, but turned to his desk, picked up the book on it, and looked through it.

"By the way, didn't Wang Que follow you?" Li Changding deliberately mentioned Wang Que.

The butcher's eyes were secretly annoyed, and he wanted to punch Li Changding's head, but unfortunately he couldn't hit him, so he had to read the book in his hand carefully and pretend not to hear.

In ancient times, most of the big families had the habit of collecting books, but the quality and quantity were uneven, although there were extraordinary skills such as martial arts in this world, but the country still took the imperial examination as the main official, because of this, the whole Daqian was still at the peak of the literary style.

Liu Yuanwai is a gentry who moved from other places, but it has been passed down locally for six generations and has been integrated into Panshi Town.

It is said that Liu Yuan's grandfather is a noble, an official for many generations, and a great official who has been out of the Ministry of Rites, although there has been some decline in the past 100 years, but the foundation is still good, and this library building in the house is a good proof.

On the first day of entering Liu Zhuan, Li Changding found this study building, because the study building was condensed and turned into a white crane, although it was drooping and old, but the gas veins were long, the connotation was long, and occasionally a light crane chirped, highlighting its existence.

Facing the collection of books in the library, Li Changding proposed that night that he wanted to take a look, how could Liu Yuanwai not allow it? Although his ancestors had good books like their lives, regarded the collection of books as treasures, and did not allow others to read them in his spare time, he was not such a bookworm, but he was good at running a family, and he had the teachings of his parents, so he habitually protected the collection of books.

After entering the library building, Li Changding was happy in his heart, but his face was silent, he took a book casually, quickly flipped through it, and then the next one, so he walked all the way and looked at it all the way, and Liu Yuanwai beside him was stunned, what was the situation? Flip through the pages? Then you don't have to turn every page!

"Don't be surprised by Liu Yuanwai, the poor road has ten lines at a glance, and he has the ability to never forget." Li Changding kindly explained to Liu Yuanwai. Ten lines at a glance, never forget, this is only the basic ability of the fifth order.

Liu Yuanwai listened to it, but he didn't verify it, and immediately believed it, and admired it even more in his heart, a master is a master, a glance and ten lines, and never forget it!

However, even if Li Changding had the ability to never forget, there were many books in the library, and it would take several days to turn over one by one, so he simply proposed to Liu Yuanwai to live in this library building permanently.

Liu Yuanwai was overjoyed in his heart, and he was worried about how to keep this great god! It's so sleepy that there is a pillow when you come up! is not allowed, and a special maid servant is arranged to stay in the study building and serve Li Changding carefully.

Although Li Changding really wanted to spend 24 hours a day in the library reading ancient books, and temporarily learn about the history, humanities, astronomy and geography of this world from the books, he still had official duties and could not slack off.

The next day, at dawn, Li Changding walked out of Liu's mansion on time and came to the street to practice medicine and see a doctor, on the one hand, he accumulated merits, on the other hand, he continued to build his reputation as a feng shui master, and in the evening, he returned to Liu Yuanwai's home study building and studied hard.

"I didn't expect you to like reading so much." While flipping through the books in his hand, the butcher said to Li Changding with a little surprise, "In addition to your daytime work, you have basically been reading books these days, right?" Even the time to sleep is saved! ”

"I don't need to sleep anymore, meditation is the best rest."

"Really?" The butcher didn't care, for them, the fifth-order people had vast immortal powers, and it was not surprising that there were so many supernatural powers.

"You flipped through the books on the first floor, and you didn't bother to read them a second time, why do you have to read and read these books again and again, and you have to copy them? Aren't you unforgettable? The butcher asked curiously.

"Don't you understand? Even books are divided into three, six, nine, and so on. Some books are no different from garbage, that is, it is a waste of time to look at them more, some books just record some information and information, the content of them is memorized, there is no difference between reading more and less, some books contain new ideas and new ideas, it is worth reading several times, only a few books are the best of the best, no matter how many times you read it is not enough, every time you read it, there are new ideas, new understandings, and it is beneficial to open the book. ”

"Is it like a book like the Book of Changes?" The butcher's dark eyes lit up and he spoke.

"The Book of Changes is just one of the typical representatives, and there are many other books that are worth watching again and again." Li Changding nodded, "Among them, there are Confucian classics - the Four Books and Five Classics, the Taoist Tao Te Ching, the Zhuangzi, some classic Buddhist scriptures, such as the Diamond Sutra, etc., and even the Bible of the Bright Sect and the Koran of the Yijiao can also be counted. ”

"In addition, those books that record history are also useful and worth reading repeatedly, just like the sixteen histories of this world."

"Including the one you have?" The butcher suddenly raised his head and raised the ancient book in his hand with a sneering face.

"That's nature." Li Changding smiled

"Mutual love and mutual benefit, is this kind of egalitarian book of sharing a big pot of rice also worth reading?" The butcher had a rare opportunity to laugh at Li Changding, and he was extremely happy, "Love each other, benefit each other, everyone shares the fruits of labor equally, and there is food to eat together, which will only raise a group of lazy people, which is not only unfair to hard-working people, but in the end, there are more and more lazy people, except that everyone starves to death together, there will be no second result!" ”

Listening to the butcher's words, Li Changding rarely restrained his smile, his face was straight, his eyebrows were frowning, and he was very serious, "Mozi is an ancient sage, Mohist thought flourished for hundreds of years in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Confucianism at that time was Yu Liang, not comparable, and the books containing Mozi thought are naturally worth reading repeatedly." Moreover, who told you that the Mo family's love and mutual benefit are egalitarianism in eating a big pot of rice? ”

"Isn't it? How can you love each other unevenly? How can unevenness be mutually beneficial? ”

"Naturally not, Mozi's "Shang Xian" has a saying: The sage lifts it up, the blessed and noble, thinks it is the official, the unscrupulous person is abolished, the poor and the lowly, and thinks it is in vain. There's some egalitarianism in this. ”

Doesn't that mean that his doctrine is inconsistent? For a while, love and benefit each other, and for a while, the rich and poor. And he also raised the fate while singing Tianzhi Ming Ghost, isn't this nonsense! ”

Li Changding was dissatisfied in his heart, but he still patiently and calmly explained: "Fei Ming is talking about denying the fate that determines everything, and Tianzhi Ming Ghost is talking about the laws of the world, the two are similar on the surface, but in fact, they are different in nature. ”

"What's the difference?"

"Fate is about denying fate. Denying that there is a force in the world that can control everything. Fate is a force that determines everything, and in front of him, all living beings are just puppets! What you think, what you say and do, all your chances and encounters are manipulated by him. What is denied by non-fate is the idea that fate determines everything. ”

"What about the ghost of Zhiming that day?"

"Tianzhi Ming Ghost is talking differently. The Heavenly Decree means that there is a god in the world, such as the emperor of the main world, who rules the authority of the world and sets all kinds of laws, and all things in heaven and earth act according to the law, and the ghosts of the Ming Ghost are the enforcers under him, rewarding those who obey the law, and severely punishing those who violate the law. As for the laws laid down by that god, of course, they lead people to good. ”

"What? Do you understand the difference between the two? In fact, the ghosts of Tianzhi Ming are likening the world to a country, and the laws formulated by the gods are like the laws of the country, and those ghosts and gods are the law enforcers. In such a world, all living beings are like ordinary people in a country, although they are restricted by the laws of the country, they have a great deal of freedom. And under fate, everything is a marionette, all living beings, and there is no self. The essence of these two is completely different. ”

"Then, what about love and mutual benefit?" Because there is the land of the emperor and the queen of heaven in the main world, the land of all kinds of blessed gods, which is completely in line with the theory of the Mohist Tianzhi Ming ghost, and in the eyes of some people, the feudal superstitious side has also become a correct fact, and the butcher can't refute it.

"Mutual love and mutual benefit are the righteousness of the ink and the righteousness of the world, but it is not egalitarianism. Love each other, 'love people, love people around and then love people', can universally love others is the real lover, this love is the root of the Mohist righteousness. ”

"Ha, only love is love? Confucian benevolence is not love? My love for my parents is not love? Is there anyone in this world who does not love his parents but loves the general public? No wonder Mencius said: 'Mozi and love are fatherless.' There is no king and no father, and he is a beast. ’”
