The dialogue between Zhang Jiao and Zhang Rang, Suning naturally had no way of knowing. However, he heard the conversation between Zhao Yun and Mrs. Zhuge clearly.

"Madam, why doesn't the prince look like the lord?"

He asked, while taking Xiao Kong Ming out of the blood-stained swaddling clothes, and respectfully handed it over to Mrs. Zhuge .

However, Mrs. Zhuge was extremely ugly. She replied embarrassedly, "This is not your father-in-law's son. ”

Zhao Yun's face also became embarrassed, he thought that this was Suning's child, so he would desperately protect it, but he didn't expect that in the end, the person he protected by his bloody struggle was someone else's child.

Zhao Yun's face quickly darkened.

Seeing all this from the point where he passed by, he leaned up and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, no matter what, just think about whose child, you have saved a life." ”

Hu Luguang also comforted from the side: "The Buddha said: Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, why bother with whose child it is?" ”

Zhao Yun and Dian Wei asked in unison, "Buddha, what is that?" ”

Although Buddhism in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had been introduced to China, it had not yet penetrated widely among the people, so it was inevitable that military generals such as Dian Wei and Zhao Yun who lived at the bottom of society would lack understanding of it.

After all, Hu Luguang came from more than 300 years later, when Buddhism had already created a lot of social influence, and even Emperor Wu of Liang of the Southern Dynasty was addicted to it, and its poison to traditional Chinese society began to emerge day by day.

Of course, Buddhism's promotion of goodness has also been widely known, and Hu Luguang's words just now are the best interpretation of the comparison.

Even the young Zhou Qun, you seem to have an understanding of this. He leaned over to Hu Luguang and asked, "What kind of Buddha is that, is it the same as Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao?" ”

Hu Luguang was embarrassed when he asked this. He had been fighting on the battlefield all his life, so how could he have time to study Buddhism? In the end, he could only explain to Zhou Qun in a curtled manner: "Let's go and ask my father-in-law about this matter." ”

Zhou Qun's heart has actually been thinking about Zhang Jiao's words. He knew how deviant his teacher's scholarship was. Previously, under the big tree in front of the door of the Shusheng Liu Hong's house, when Suning introduced him to the causes of the four seasons, he had a deep feeling like this.

Zhou Qun is not a schoolboy who knows nothing, he has been learning astronomy with his father since he was a child, and his mind is full of the knowledge of this time and space, he has his own judgment, and he also believes in his own judgment. In the future, the teacher's knowledge will inevitably be attacked by many famous Confucian scholars. The Confucian scholars, who were immersed in the ghostly doctrine of the Confucianism, were not as receptive to new things as he was when he was younger. In the long run, they will inevitably attack the teacher.

He had to find a way to protect the teacher.

The method of opening the angle is an option. Those so-called Confucian scholars still bind themselves in the trap of the study of the weft. They are more receptive to these gods and ghosts.

The only problem now is that he still lacks understanding of this Buddha, so he asks Suning, the teacher who knows everything in his mind.

The journey back was long, and Suning certainly had time to explain to him.

Then Suning's interpretation of religion subverted his cognition.

"Buddhism is indeed about kindness, but as long as we pay attention to kindness, why stick to Buddhism? Buddhists themselves say that there is no one, no self, no sentient beings, and no longevity. Only by seeing through the appearance can we get close to the essence, so if we have mastered the essence, why should we care about the appearance? ”

"So teacher, what is the appearance and what is the essence?"

"The answer to this question may disappoint you a little, in this world, the appearance is absolute, and the essence is relative."

Zhou Qun whispered these words, but he refused for a long time, and he didn't taste the meaning, so he had to continue to ask Suning: "Teacher, I don't understand this sentence. So, I don't know if I'm disappointed in it. ”

Suning smiled and continued to answer his questions: "Appearance is universal, it surrounds us and obscures our vision of seeking the truth. However, when we finally see through him and get the truth we have always dreamed of, we will soon find that this so-called truth is just another layer of appearance. ”

In this case, isn't every layer of truth a surface of the next? Is there any true truth in this world? ”

"Yes! Without truth, where does the appearance come from? ”

This sudden dialectic caught Zhou Qun's thinking off guard. Fortunately, this young man has been smart since he was a child, and he was not dizzy by these tossing and turning words.

However, this also made him lose the direction of the next question, and even after chewing on these words carefully, he thought that the teacher's statement was a bit far-fetched. Eventually, he asked, bewildered, "Is there nothing definite that can prove the existence of the ultimate truth?" ”

Suning sighed and said, "If I know what the ultimate truth is, why bother to explore it? In fact, the sages of the past generations have also been like this, so that we still don't know what the ultimate truth is, but we have an ultimate faith. ”

"What's that?" Zhou Qun asked subconsciously.

"Well, that's easy to say." Suning's facial expression regained a little calm, and he continued, "Actually, what you should have noticed a long time ago is that our belief is to seek knowledge. ”

This answer doesn't need to be savored carefully, after all, Zhou Qun has been a tireless learner since he was a child. Nature does not know such descriptions as "thirst for knowledge", but the thoughts of the mind are the same.

"Is this our way of peace?" Zhou Qun asked suspiciously.

Suning replied cheerfully: "That's right, this is our Taiping Tao, our Buddhism, our Jesus, our ......" He listed a long list of religious beliefs, including even Muhammad, who had not yet appeared.

Although Zhou Qun couldn't understand the proper nouns in the second half of the sentence, he had successfully comprehended the meaning of this sentence.

However, Suning immediately made a further explanation for him: "I need to remind you that our Taiping Dao is different from theirs, in order to facilitate the distinction in the future, I will change its name and call it Tiandao." For the pursuit of the Heavenly Dao, we have our own set of methods, which I call science. As for the differences between the pursuit of the Heavenly Dao and the pursuit of other sects, we must start with the similarities between the two. ”

"All religions want to give a reasonable explanation to human beings, whether they are explaining the world, or the universe, human beings, or sentient beings. They will rush to expound the truth and, at worst, give ambiguous things like allegory, in order to influence people's minds with the brilliance of mysticism. This is how religions full of gods appeared. They are content with inherent explanations. Especially the worship of the believers brought about by those explanations, and the various gold and silver harvests from the believers. However, we are constantly pursuing the way of heaven, and we are not satisfied with being confused by the shallow substance. We will continue to enrich our means of observation, using tools to brighten our eyes, sharpen our ears, and make our thinking clearer. Instead of pushing everything you can't explain onto the gods. ”

Zhou Qun asked, "In other words, we don't need gods, we just need better tools." ”

Suning thought for a while, he didn't want Zhou Qun to become a technologist, humanism is also a very important thing for a society. Then he said that he didn't know how to express his thoughts for a while, and finally he even made a god say something like this: "In fact, the gods are also a tool, a spiritual tool." ”

Zhou Qun's eyes immediately lit up, he seemed to have captured some inspiration, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he continued to ask, "How do you explain this?" ”

Suning replied: "Everything in the universe works according to specific laws, some are ordinary Newton's laws of motion, and some are slightly more complicated. But no matter what, they have a pattern to follow. However, there is no law to follow in the law itself. Some scientists, who have escaped the influence of religion, laughed and threw the title of law-maker on God's head. ”

Although Zhou Qun did not understand Newton's laws of motion, nor did he know what kind of person could be called a scientist, he knew God, the ancient Chinese god of Haotian.

If such a consciousness can play the role of a law-maker, then the most suitable candidate may not be this Haotian God, but the Pangu God who opened the world.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly sprung up in his heart. Perhaps Pangu's body did not directly become the sun and moon of the mountains. His will, like the laws of the universe, controls the evolution of all things. So some part of his body, at the urging of this will, formed mountains, and formed the sun.

Later, he learned from Suning what an orogeny was and what the Big Bang Theory was. As a result, a new religion was quickly formed, Pangeaism.
