Chapter 59: Talking about Metaphysics

This is a literary feast.

Wenyan, eating is just the introduction, and the conversation after eating is the main event!

Liu Yang got up, faced the four seats, and said loudly: "Today's Qing Talk, with the topic of 'Have'. The son of Shiliang is a famous man in Luoyang and can be the main talker. ”

Zheng Sheng listened boredly. What this means is that he is asked to give his own opinion on the question of 'existence or non-existence,' and then others will come up with different opinions, and the two sides will argue with each other.

Yes or no? What is there to debate about this Nima! Zheng Sheng felt that this group of people was purely well-fed and extremely boring!

Shi Liang stood up and began to narrate his opinion: "Tao Te Ching Youyun: The Beginning of the Nameless Heaven and Earth......"

Shi Liang's speech is clear, his voice is subdued and frustrated, his voice is melodious, and his hand posture from time to time makes everyone present listen attentively.

Zheng Sheng is probably the only exception. When he barely understood that Shi Liang's point of view was advocating nothingness, he couldn't listen to it anymore, and there was no need to listen to it anymore.

Because Shi Liang is stating his arguments in an ethereal, vague language.

Zheng Sheng has long understood that Qing Tan is to see who can fool who first, and the opponent's brain is confused, and if he can't refute it, he just declares defeat.

Zheng Sheng was drowsy.

After Shi Liang finished discussing his opinion, he sat down to observe the situation around him, his biggest focus was Zheng Sheng, and when he saw that the child was about to fall asleep, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Daoyun stood up, this famous Qing talker in Shunyang County expressed his opinion, he has always been at odds with Liu Yang, if he hadn't heard that Shi Liang and other outsiders were here, he wouldn't have participated in the banquet of Liu Yang, the son of a businessman!

What's more, he believes in the "Theory of Sublime Existence"!

The Qing Talk Conference became more and more intense, and Luo Yu, Shen Ming and others spoke one after another. Then, Shi Liang and Gu Daoyun had another round of mutual debate.

"Zheng Shizi." Gu Daoyun looked at Zheng Sheng, who was already asleep on the small table, and was very stunned, everyone was so enthusiastic and enthusiastic, you actually fell asleep?

Wang Xiang is a pure audience today, and he has been fooled by the debaters on both sides. Hearing that Gu Daoyun was calling Zheng Sheng, he hurriedly pushed Zheng Sheng awake.

"It's over? Let's go home! Zheng Sheng looked at everyone blankly and said.

Gu Daoyun awkwardly chose to ignore this sentence, "Zheng Shizi, the thousand-character text begins with 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, the Universe is Desolate', Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, do you think Heaven and Earth are 'there'!" ”

"The sky is dark and the earth is yellow, this sentence itself is a fallacy." Luo Yu didn't wait for Zheng Sheng to speak, and said: "The sky is profound, like a mystery, but nothing." All things on the earth, with a thousand colors and thousands of faces, are they a single yellow? ”

"Brother Luo thinks the sky is colorless......" Gu Daoyun seemed to grasp the loophole in Luo Yu's words and continued to argue.

Zheng Sheng sighed, the debate meeting in the Western Jin Dynasty was much longer than the debate competition in the future, and these people were like taking hormones, talking endlessly.

No wonder Wenyan has to eat first and have a full stomach before he has the energy to debate for a long time!

However, his energy was going to be spent sleeping.

But this time Zheng Sheng didn't lie down, and the topic seemed to have turned back to Zheng Sheng.

"Zheng Shizi, the Xuanhuang Theory of Heaven and Earth is your point of view. Now that everyone is talking about it, you can't stay out of it, huh? Shi Liang said slowly.

Zheng Sheng's mind turned a few times, and he couldn't guess Shi Liang's thoughts, he played the role of a child, who didn't understand metaphysics and didn't know metaphysics! So, Zheng Sheng replied, "I don't know." ”

Someone on the side chuckled, but everyone thought it was normal, Zheng Sheng was still young and shallow in knowledge after all.

But Shi Liang didn't give up, "Zheng Shizi said with a smile, you can write a thousand-word essay at the age of seven, and you have a keen mind." It is not comparable to the laity like us. Could it be that Zheng Shizi thinks that this talk is not worth your Zheng Shizi's mouth? ”

Everyone suddenly changed their faces, and their expressions when they looked at him became very unkind.

Zheng Sheng secretly scolded in his heart, this stone beam is definitely not pleasing to his eyes, maybe it is really Shi Man's credit!

Wang Xiang on the side relieved his cousin: "Zheng Sheng is not good at words, let me argue with you!" ”

Zheng Sheng stopped Wang Xiang and said, "Where are you discussing it now?" ”

Gu Daoyun explained to Zheng Sheng, "We are now giving examples to prove yes or no. ”

"Does this have anything to do with Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang?" Zheng Sheng wondered.

"The sky is dark and the earth is yellow, doesn't this prove that heaven and earth have colors?"

Zheng Sheng understood.

"Zheng Shizi, how can you prove that the sky is dark?" Luo Yu opened his mouth and asked, "It's obviously blue in the blank sky." At night, because there is no light, you can't see the original color, so you mistake it for a dark color. ”

Zheng Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Luo thinks that the color of the sky is blue!" ”

"Naturally!"

"Then I'll change it, the sky is blue, which also proves that there is, right?"

Luo Yu was dumbfounded and speechless. Is it yellow to continue the debate? But the ground is not yellow, it is also other colors, in short, it is colored. Isn't this still being argued?

Shi Liang was also surprised, it seems that this Zheng Sheng still has some eloquence!

Shi Liang continued to look for a way to refute Zheng Sheng, and he thought of one thing, "I have heard the story of Zheng Shizi's Pino. I want to ask Zheng Shizi, in the story of Pinault, can the wooden man come to life? There is no such thing, does it? ”

Zheng Sheng shook his head, "Pino's story is true, I didn't lie. ”

"I don't believe that." Luo Yu said, "Have you seen this?" ”

"Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!" Zheng Sheng argued, "Besides, if you don't believe it hundreds of years ago, I can't help it!" ”

Luo Yu said: "This kind of lie can only deceive ignorant children of a few years old!" ”

Zheng Sheng shook his head, "That's not right. The reason why you don't believe it, the toddlers do. It's not that they're ignorant. It's that you lose ......"

"What have I lost?"

"Lost innocence." Zheng Sheng sighed.

Luo Yu's face turned from red to purple. Everyone was stunned, and then snickered.

"Fairies are fairies, aren't they?" Shi Liang asked again.

"yes." Zheng Sheng replied nonchalantly.

"The sages have clouds: 'The son does not speak and the power is chaotic', the sages do not believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world, and the son of the world directly says that there are immortals in the world, isn't it ridiculous?"

Zheng Sheng naturally did not believe in ghosts and gods in his previous life, but when he traveled to ancient times, although Zheng Sheng was not convinced that there were immortals in the world, he already believed in the existence of supernatural powers. What's more, the balance of his dream seems to have only this interpretation.

Zheng Sheng smiled: "Then Brother Shi doesn't believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world?" ”

"Nature." He is a firm believer in "no matter what you are", and the theory of ghosts and gods naturally avoids it!

"But......" Zheng Sheng seemed to have something unspeakable.

"But what?" Luo Shang said again.

Shi Liang said solemnly: "The prince of the world, please speak." ”

"How many monks in the world today are pursuing the art of immortality? Isn't the one who lives forever and immortal God? ”

Shi Liang shook his head, "Although there are many people who pursue immortality, who is really immortal?" "Shi Liang was born in the clan, and he has also heard about the pursuit of immortality, but he doesn't believe it.

"Emperor Qin and Han Wu, two emperors who established great feats, they both pursued immortality, can they prove the existence of immortality?" Gu Daoyun said on the side.

"Emperor Qin and Han Wu, aren't they all dead now?" Luo Yu sneered.

Zheng Sheng shook his head, Gu Daoyun's argument was too bad. However, he already had a very bold idea.

Zheng Sheng coughed and continued to flicker: "We are now very much like frogs at the bottom of a dry well, we can only see a small piece of the sky above our heads, and we can't see the vast world!" ”

Everyone is silent, the frog at the bottom of the well? This allusion is from the Zhuangzi and seems irrefutable.

Shi Liang asked: "We are all frogs at the bottom of the well, and who knows if there is a sky outside?" "Since they are all frogs at the bottom of the well, the fairy theory is also nonsense!

Zheng Sheng pointed to himself and said, "I know, I'm not a frog at the bottom of the well!" ”

"You know?" Shi Liang was extremely stunned, "What do you know?" ”

Zheng Sheng didn't think twice, since you forced me, then I'm welcome! The fairy fantasy of the 21st century can't fool you!

"Ahem, let me tell you the story of, uh, about Lao Tzu!" Zheng Sheng decided to take this old gentleman.

"The story of the old man?" Shi Liang was a little puzzled, was he going to start talking about history?

"Hmm. Lao Tzu, the name of the world is Li Er. His honorific name in the fairy world is Taishang Laojun, and he is one of the three Qings in the fairy world. ”

Everyone looked confused, what is this? Celestial? Room? Taishang Laojun? Sanqing? I've never heard of it!

"Is there any evidence for what Zheng Shizi said?" Shi Liang asked unwillingly.

"What the Son of the World said, but the Heavenly Master taught?" Shen Ming asked, getting up.

"Heavenly Master Sect?"

"It's the Five Bucket Rice Sect, right?"

"Five Bucket Rice Sect?" Zheng Sheng listened to everyone's discussions, and immediately remembered that Zhang Lu, the very wasted Hanzhong prince in the Three Kingdoms, seemed to be from the Five Bucket Rice Sect, and this Five Bucket Rice Sect seemed to be the predecessor of Taoism? Zheng Sheng was not too impressed, he could only guess roughly.

"Five buckets of rice teaching, the real name of the Heavenly Master Sect, the world for its people to pay five buckets of rice, hence the name." Shen Ming continued: "The supreme god of this sect is Taishang Laojun, and the son of the world is not religious? ”

Shi Liang thought about the Heavenly Master Sect, which is also widely spread in Luoyang, this land of Han is the root of the rice thief, Zheng Sheng originally believed in the Sect of Gods and Ghosts!

Zheng Sheng looked at the light in Shen Ming's eyes, and secretly thought that this Shen Ming wouldn't be a disciple, right? He didn't feel good. Zheng Sheng didn't want to have anything to do with this nature and the White Lotus Sect and the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations, which confused the people with their religious beliefs and rebelled and made trouble.

"Well, I'm not a Heavenly Master Sect disciple." Zheng Sheng shook his head.

Shen Ming looked disappointed, "It's not a member of the church, how did Zheng Shizi know about the supreme old man?" "Taishang Laojun is obviously the only supreme god of their Heavenly Master Sect, not a sect member, how can outsiders know?

"The supreme old man?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Zheng Sheng's head, "Your Heavenly Master Sect says that Taishang Laojun is the only supreme god, but it's not." ”

"How is this possible? The meaning of Taishang is the supreme. Affirmation's eyes regained their composure, and he opened his mouth to refute. He now felt that Zheng Sheng was not only not a fellow believer, but might even be a heretic!
