On the teaching platform of Yunmeng Wonderland, Guiguzi and hundreds of people sat on the ground, laughing loudly. A few disciples walked slowly inside, delivering tea and fruits.

Since the sons followed Zou Ji to the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, they lived in the military tent sent by King Yan, and enjoyed the unique mountain delicacies and meat in the north. Zou Ji went to the fairyland first and met Mr. and Mrs.

In the early morning of the next day, Pang Juan led the crowd on foot into the mountain. Walking to the intersection of Tongxian Road, everyone looked at the ten-mile ghost valley ruins and was full of praise. Along the way, Pang Juan took everyone to see the map of the countries, the map of the yin and yang gods, and then to the peak of the ghost valley, with a glimpse of the misty clouds, the green dragon soaring, and the white tiger lying down. Finally, I came to the outside of Guigu Cave, where Guiguzi and Zhu'er were waiting. Zou Ji introduced them one by one, and everyone greeted each other, greeted each other, and agreed to have a long talk about tea tomorrow.

That night, Zhuang Zhou and Meng Ke arrived, and let the bonfire be lit outside the big tent in Dongyu Village. The sons talked for a long time, tasted the wine, and stayed all night.

Today, when I entered the fairyland again, the sons were in good spirits and sat on the teaching platform. Look at the clouds and mist around the peak, the waterfall in the world, look down, the valley bottom meanders, and the stream is formed.

The sound of the piano slowed down, the valley echoed, and the aftermath lingered. Zou Ji didn't dare to build momentum in front of the master, and played lightly with Su Qin.

Bai Qi, Le Yi Taichung danced the sword to fight, soaring and flashing, the sword light was foggy, and everyone drank well from time to time.

At this moment, the sound of cranes chirping in the distance was heard, matching the sound of the piano, as if it was from heaven. Everyone raised their eyes, but saw the cranes spreading their wings lightly, from far to near, circling under the fog, and singing endlessly.

Everyone watched in amazement and sighed with intoxication.

Zhuang Zhou got up and approached the Ghost Valley, and clasped his palms back. "Brother Dao's heart feels the immortal class, the gods have self-incarnated, Zhuang Zhou congratulations!"

When Guigu heard this, Zhuang Zhou was in front of him, and he hurriedly got up and returned the salute. "God has been friends for a long time! Although it is a vulgar body, it is also a fairy bone! ”

"Hahaha!" Zhuang Zhou laughed, stretched his hips, and walked around Taichung. "Flying flowers are like butterflies, driving bodies are like dreams, and the benefits of the tongue are only in the world!"

All the sons laughed.

The ghost valley is solemn and solemn, and worships the sky three times. Less leaning, the crane is far away, and the valley is quiet. Guigu handed over to everyone again and opened with a smile. "The sons come from afar, and the clouds and dreams are bright. In the troubled times, the sons of the princes are virtuous, preaching to the nations, and now they are fortunate to gather in the cave mansion and see the ghost valley! After saying that, he bowed his hand again and sat down.

Zou Ji got up and saluted his sons. "Mr. Zou Ji and Mr. Bayamon have taught and benefited for life. Now love the world, Qi country cultivates the truth. I miss Mr., I want to go alone, but it is difficult for all the sons to admire him, so I brought it to Yunmeng. Disturb the Immortal Mansion, Mr. Shocked, the disciple is angry! ”

Zou Ji bowed, he knew that a war of words was inevitable.

Guigu smiled and waved his hand. "Zou Zi is serious, please take a seat!" Guigu saw Zou Ji sit down, and then handed over to everyone. "The cultivation of the Guigu is only due to the people who have the Tao, and the truth is in the same vein, and it is obtained one after another! The work of the ancestors, the ghost valley is only transmitted, how dare you be alone! He looked at Zou Ji. Zou Zi has made this trip, he has been virtuous and virtuous, what a crime! ”

Xun Jing coughed lightly, and everyone's eyes turned to him. Even in the Jixia School Palace, Xun Guo is a sacrificial wine, and it is also quite respected, especially in recent days, Xun Guo has a new work, which is very in line with the meaning of the sons.

He bowed his hand to the people. "Xun is committed to Confucianism, inheriting the merits of the saints, and now I occasionally have some organization, and I will share it with you in order to be taught!" He looked at Meng Ke, because his thoughts were in conflict with his inheritance. "The stars rotate, the sun and the moon pass together, the four times are royal, the yin and yang are magnified, the wind and rain are blessed, all things have their own harmony to live, each has its own nourishment, and see its merits without seeing its things, the husband is called God; Everyone knows why it is made, but I don't know that it is invisible, and the husband is the sky. In Xunzi's view, heaven is nature, and there is no reason, will, good and evil. Heaven is a natural heaven, not a personal God. He called the subtle functions such as yin, yang, wind and rain gods, and the natural world composed of these functions as heaven. The creation of the universe is not created by God, but is the result of the movement of all things themselves.

Everyone savored Xun Qian's words, and knew that this was a challenge to Taoism.

Xun Jing continued: "Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death. If it should be treated, it will be auspicious, and if it should be chaotic, it will be vicious. Heavenly creatures cannot distinguish objects, and the earth can carry people, but cannot govern people. The sky has its time, the earth has its talent, and the man has his rule. "He did not connect the heavens, earth and humanity in Lao Dan's Tao Te Ching, but separated them." Therefore, people also have their own way, and they are born evil, and only by educating them can they become their abilities. The soil is a mountain, and the wind and rain are prosperous; The water becomes an abyss, and the dragon is born; Accumulate goodness into virtue, and the gods are self-satisfied, and the sacred heart is prepared. After Xun finished speaking, he picked up tea and tasted it lightly, ignoring people.

Everyone looked at the valley ghost. Guigu also turned a blind eye and drank tea to taste. He knew that what Xun said was right, but he should let everyone comment. If you talk about it at the beginning, you won't be the target of public criticism.

Meng Ke gave up. "Meng Ke also studied Confucianism, and the benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith taught by his ancestors are all humanitarian, not God's." He looked at Xun Zheng. "There is only one theory, not similar to the same door, Meng Ke believes that human nature is inherently good."

Everyone was a little surprised, these two people are from Confucianism, and they are also famous in other countries, but they also have different opinions.

Meng Ke first heard Xun say this, and Confucian students all preached human nature as good. "Wateriness is not divided into things, and it is not divided into upper and lower things? The goodness of human nature is also like water. There is nothing wrong with people, and there is nothing wrong with water. Now the husband water, beating and jumping, can make the wind; Radical and action, can be made in the mountains. Is it the nature of water? So is it! What a person can do is not good, but so is his nature. ”

Everyone understood, Meng Qi was saying that water is not divided into east and west directions, is it not up and down? The goodness of human nature is as inevitable as water flowing downward. There is nothing unkind in man, just as there is nothing in water that does not flow to a lower place. Now on the other side of the water, slap it hard to make it jump, and it can rise above the forehead of a man; The interception causes it to swirl and makes it stop on the hill. How is this water-based? This is really an external force! Man can cause him to do ungood things, and this kind of behavior that goes against his good nature is essentially the same as the act of letting water flow down against it.

Everyone nodded frequently in response to Meng Ke's words.

Meng Ke took a sip of tea and raised his head again. "Everyone has compassion; Everyone has a heart of shame; Respectful heart is shared by everyone; Everyone has the heart of right and wrong. compassion, benevolence; The heart of shame is also righteousness; Respectful heart, courtesy; The heart of right and wrong, wisdom also. Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom are not given to me by external forces, but also by me. ”

The people were silent and no longer agreed. Xun situation in the Jixia School Palace, everyone is regarded as a teacher, recommending talents, admonishing people, and never greedy for merit. Although Meng Ke was an official to the third secretary, he only wrote books and taught, and had nothing to do with state affairs, and he rarely interacted with everyone.

Seeing this, Chun Yu was busy playing a round, and he was the only one who had a relationship with Meng Ke. And he is one of Zou Ji's friends, and when he comes to Yunmeng, everyone can express their opinions, not talk about right and wrong.

He turned to Meng Ke, bowed his hand, and then smiled. What Mencius said is extremely true, but throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, there are many deficiencies in the sages who stand up, and they should be born and change from time to time, which is the law. Xunzi's words are also the words of the family, although they come from the holy mouth, they are not holy principles, but all the sons are very happy when they hear it. Mencius's theory of goodness is familiar to all sons! ”

Everyone nodded and agreed, and they all knew that Chun Yufu was known for his harmony. Even when he argues with others, he does it with humor. Once, Meng Ke traveled to the country of Qi, and after Chun Yuji knew about it, he went to visit, and when he met, he asked: "May I ask sir, whether men and women give or receive kisses is stipulated by the etiquette system, right?" ”

Meng Ke was an honest man, so he replied in a proper manner: "Mr. Chunyu, of course, what you said about whether men and women give or receive kisses is of course stipulated by etiquette. ”

Chun Yuyu smiled and asked again: "If your wife falls into the water, brother, do I save her or not?" ”

Meng Ke was very angry, thinking that this Chun Yuyu was simply nonsense: "Sister-in-law drowned and didn't save her, it's just a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!" Maybe Meng Cheke realized that what he said was out of character, and hurriedly added: "It is indeed a ceremony for men and women to give and receive kisses." But saving my sister-in-law is an expedient measure. ”

Chun Yulu ridiculed Meng Ke and said: "Then now that the people of the world are living in dire straits, why don't you extend a hand of friendship?" ”

Meng Ke said: "To save the world, the people of Li must be taught the way." My wife fell into the water and can pull it. Do people in the world still have to pull one by one? ”

Chun Yuyu understands that Meng Ke is by no means a layman, and his role is to educate, not to do everything personally.

When Meng Ke was about to leave the Qi Kingdom, Chun Yu sent him off. "You are in the high position of the three secretaries, but you can't help the people, you can't assist the king, the so-called "benevolent" ran away like this, is it worthy of your salary? ”

Meng Ke knew that he was asking Ren in disguise again, so he pulled out Boyi, Yi Yin, and Yanagi Hui and said: "I am a courtier, and I don't think I am virtuous, and this is what Boyi did." Circling between the soup and the tree five times, it was Yi Yin. Don't dislike the dirty king, don't shirk being a petty official, that's Yanagi Hui. The three of them are different, but they are all for benevolence. As long as a gentleman is benevolent in his heart, why should he be consistent in everything. ”

After Chun Yufu said this, he felt that it was time to say what he thought, so he coughed lightly. "Chun is in the nations of the world, lobbying the kings, wanting to give humanity, courtesy and righteousness first, and the rule of law last. Looking at the world, those who have benefited from this have achieved results, Zou Zi of Qi State followed the example, the country was rich and the people were strong, Qin changed the law, and it was also included in the strong gate, and when Wei Sheng, he was also proud of Li Kui's law scripture. Since the law is so beneficial to the people and the country, it should be humane, so it is pure to think that each family is not the same, learn from each other's strengths, and integrate with each other, but it is where the virtues of the sons lie! ”

Be cautious. "Be cautious enough to agree with Mr. Chun Yu the latter, the law should be born from time to time, and it should also change from time to time, like a shortcut to the road, and participate in the avenue. The only avenue, the performance of the law and the way! Therefore, the exercise of the law is omnipotent from the king to the people. "He looked at the crowd." Why are there people who break the law? The king of Gai is ignored, and the punisher is incompetent, although he waits for the heavens to cut it down, but it is not immediate. If the people follow suit, the common people will go the opposite way! ”

Song Yan gave up. "Song Yan, the ink scholar, thinks that the law is not as good as virtue. When there is no way, there is Yao Tian Shun Sun, and when there is law, there are also wars. Everyone is a courtier of heaven, and God loves his subjects and is virtuous, so that people can love everything. If you love all things, then people have their own virtues, things feel virtues, great love accommodates all things, and all things in heaven and earth. Therefore, virtue is the foundation, and law is the help of virtue! ”

Guigu listened to the arguments of the sons, and his eyebrows were sometimes tight and sometimes stretched. He knew that these people were famous in the world and had many disciples. The kings of the nations were proud of what they had gained, but the sons only studied the mind, and did not participate in the secret battles and open strife of the royal court. Everyone knows that the wise men sought by the kings were not the sages of the Ming Dao, but the men who were used for their own purposes.

Guigu sighed softly, and everyone quieted down, their eyes turned to a point, looking forward to his reasoning.

Ghost Valley is handed over. "Guigu has been learning the Tao for several years, and he has also gained some insights. What the sons said just now is a little different from the Ghost Valley, but there are also coincidences. He looked at the crowd and stretched out his hand to point to the Qinglong Mountain opposite. On this peak, you can see the distance of Yunmeng, so everyone who wants to see Yunmeng knows to climb to the top. The people in the Guigu Ruins, who understand each other, choose a shortcut, although there are some dangers to block, but they can go back and forth for half a day. Visitors from the valley mostly take the low peak after the eye, take the low peak first, go up in a roundabout way, flat and riskless, but it needs to be returned all day. The mountain people outside the valley have opened up another path, or chased the sheep up, or hunted the mountain treasures and climbed, all of which have different paths. Therefore, Guigu often thinks that everyone knows the same reason, climbs high and looks far, but the way to take is not human. I have also asked people, why not take this way? Answer: The places are different, and the purpose of climbing the peak is different. Only then did Guigu understand that everyone knows to climb high and look far, but on the way up the mountain, there are people who look at flowers and plants, people who see the steeps, people who follow herds, and people who seek curiosity. He paused, drank some tea, and when he saw that everyone was speechless, he pondered what he was going to do. Then he picked it up and said: "Guigu wants to say, this thing that everyone understands, that is, the Tao, the Tao is natural, and the Tao shows the world." Between man and heaven and earth, if you don't take heaven and earth as your teacher, how can you see the Tao? The theory of the sons is actually to know, understand the way, and want to follow the way. It's just that when you are on the way, the path you take is different, the scenery you see is different, and the words you feel are different. Therefore, I don't dare to agree with it! Nowadays, the princes say that there are many arguments about the governance of troubled times, and they are on the side of the royal court, hoping that the king will accept the advice, and it is difficult to get rid of the suspicion of pleasing Chenghuan. "And when he spoke of this, he looked at the multitude, and he knew that there were those who were eager to try and argue." The way of kings is not the way of heaven. Those who follow the way, Yao Shun is self-prospering, and those who are against the way are self-extinguishing. All the sons want to send virtuous monarchs, but they don't want to create a virtuous world, how can they say that they are long-lasting, and how can human nature follow the way? ”

"Mr. Guigu, the kings have no way, why do they also survive, and there are many followers?" Tian Jiao sneered. He and Zou Ji prospered in the school palace and accepted the sons of hundreds of families, which has achieved results. The country of Qi is rich, and the king of Qi is virtuous, how can he allow the king to say that he has no way. "Mr. Shi just said that everyone knows it, and it is also true!"

Everyone ordered together, and the sound of discussion suddenly started, and Tian Xiao proudly nodded and celebrated with the princes frequently.

Guigu smiled and waited for everyone to speak before speaking. "Although what Tian Zi said has been praised by everyone, Guigu feels that Tian Zi is clever and reasonable, which is really not a lie!" Guiguzi did laugh at Tian Piao's words, although he just catered to what he said below, he could feel sorry for his ability to lead the sons. "According to Tianzi, the king of Qi has a way, and all kings have a way. And the war is not stopped, the people are not happy, and there is no way to familiarize themselves? When he asked, the crowd stopped eagerly trying. Guigu asked again, Qi grass, Yan grass, what's the difference? Wei people, Qin people, what's the difference? Chu Tian, Zhao Tian, what's the difference? Guiguzi smiled. It's all the same! The Word makes the heavens and the earth manifest. And when the kings arose, it was also the time when the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty lost his way. The Tao contains yin and yang, and it turns into a potential, which is exactly what is gained and lost, and what is happy is sad. The Tao contains harmony, equality and mutual coexistence, it is the mutual love of monarchs and ministers, and mutual respect between rich and poor. And the way of kings begins with self-interest. If the people follow it, they will use fame and fortune to join them, how can they be like the truth, stealing their names and deceiving the world! ”

"Mr. Guigu, the sons are eager for the truth, so they have come thousands of miles to the north to seek up and down, can Mr. show it?" Wei Yuzi was very happy to hear Guiguzi talk about stealing his name, which was in line with his consistent advocacy of name and reality. The name does not match the reality, and secretly changing the words of the sages is already the method of the kings to coax the people, and there are also Shi Ziwei.

"The Tao is inclusive, imitating nature!" Guigu's voice was loud. "Nature shows all things to be equal and mutually beneficial, prosperous and harmonious. There are people of the Tao, born for this, happy to go! Those who have no way drive themselves to profit, and serve as the name! "Guiguzi knows that he can't be tactful anymore." All the candidates are fighting, all of them have no way, savor the sentient beings, and they are unwilling to stop the war, and come and go freely. As Zhuangzi shows, flying flowers are like butterflies, and driving bodies are like dreams! ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yesterday, when the princes looked at the territory of the nations, Guigu often thought, the heart is boundless, and the body is tangible, but why use the invisible heart to drive the visible body? Man-made disasters too! Man-made disasters should be governed by man, and those who rule should be people of the Tao, and those who have the Tao should have the sons of the Tao! ”

Everyone drank well, and their faces were smiling.

"The journey of a thousand miles is only three words for Guiguzi, and it is worth the trip!" Xunzi's face was serious. "I'll wait to taste tea in this Yunmeng Wonderland for three days, and then listen to Guiguzi's talk!"

And they began to drink again.

"Each of you has a say, and you can be respected as a sage by the people of the world. However, although the Guigu has a lot of knowledge, it is nothing more than inheriting the teacher's way, how can it be compared with the sons? I also hope that the sons will call it the ghost valley. ”

Meng Ke interrupted the Ghost Valley. "Although Guigu admits the Tao, it is self-opening, with the responsibility of the world's soldiers, teaching according to the material, and laying out the world, it is really a sage and sage, and the name of Guiguzi is true!"

The crowd cheered again.
