Chapter 10: School of Conspiracy
Seeing a junior in front of him posing as a teacher, disdainful of him, preaching to him, where can he stand this anger?
At the very least, he is also the chief disciple of Mozi, who is supported by the audience and respected by the world. Ever since Master Mozi went into hiding, he has been in charge.
Let alone! He is more than ten years older than Yang Zhu.
Yang Zhu looks to be in his seventies, but no one knows his actual age. According to the time of his debut, he should be in his eighties.
Holding the sword flat, his body flashed, and he suddenly stabbed at Yang Zhu, who was walking by. Yang Zhu's sleeves flicked, drifted to the side, and the two fought together.
Saw! In the field, a man dressed in white and holding a sword shining with cold light flew around. One was dressed in gray, with his bare hands, and he jumped in the air one moment and rolled on the ground the next.
Inside the thatched hut, there was no movement, as if there was no one inside. But! At the window, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were looking out.
"Archers prepare! Shoot the Taoist priest inside! β
A disciple of the Mo family greeted and led the archers around the scene of the fierce battle and surrounded the thatched hut. Prepare for the fire of 10,000 arrows to burn the "company camp".
This is a tall, thin and weak-looking disciple. But! His height and his thinness stood out from the rest.
"Bird slippery! You are a spy sent by Confucianism! You are a spy sent by Zixia! Zixia is one of the seventy-two protΓ©gΓ©s of Kong Qiu! You are a spy sent by Confucianism! β
Yang Zhu's gray sleeves waved, and they swept on the sharp sword of the bird. One more quick spin to wrap the sword in. Grabbing the blade of the sword again, he shouted as he competed with the fowl.
"You deliberately misinterpret the Tao Jing and the Tao Jing, and misinterpret our Taoist doctrine, so that the world is confused, thinking that our Taoist doctrine is a doctrine of escaping the world and retreating, which has no positive significance. It is said that our Taoist doctrine is passive life, retreat and wait for death! You! You are a cultural spy sent by Confucianism! β
The fowl shook his sword without mercy. But! This Yang Zhu's martial arts are really not covered. He is as light as a swallow, let you do it, grab your sword and don't let go.
"This is a matter of the Mo family and Taoism, what does it have to do with Zixia? What does it have to do with Kongqiu? Let alone? Zixia's doctrine also deviated from Confucius's theory. Yang Zhu! You're slandering! Framed! β
one with white hair and white clothes, and one with gray clothes and black hair; One with a sword, the other with his bare hands, the two fought together. While fighting, arguing.
The Mo family swordsmen who were surrounded by the periphery began to search the canyon in a carpet manner, and the canyon was full of Mo family swordsmen.
On the high mountain, there was a mournful cry of crows.
"Wow! Wow! Wow! β¦β¦β
Seems! Wailing for those who are about to die!
A Mo family swordsman saw that Yang Zhu and Yu Huali were entangled together, Yang Zhu's sleeves were wrapped around the sword and could not be separated, he stepped forward with his sword, ready to fish in the troubled waters.
"Since it has nothing to do with Confucianism, why do you defend Confucianism and help Confucianism speak?"
Yang Zhu further speculated: "So! Poultry slippery! You are a spy sent by Confucianism! Scourge to the Mo family! Use the Mo family to exterminate the Taoists!
Poultry slippery! Not only do you distort and slander Taoist doctrines; You have also misinterpreted the Mohist doctrine and created a conflict between the two schools of thought to kill each other! Use the Mohists to exterminate the Taoists, and you Confucians will take advantage of the fishermen.
Poultry slippery! I'll give you another chance! Please quit the Mo family and return to the mountains and forests! Otherwise? β
"How else?" Bird Slippery was said by Yang Zhu, and his arms trembled with anger.
"No!" Yang Zhu glanced at the swordsman who stepped forward with his sword and said, "Otherwise! I'll tell you about it! β
"What's the matter with me? Say! β
Yang Zhu couldn't help but be anxious when he saw that swordsman rushing to kill.
"Birds are slippery, and they deceive their teachers and destroy their ancestors! Skillfully seize the Mo family and use the Mo family to deal with the Taoists! The bird slippery is a spy sent by the Confucian Zixia! β
When the disciples of the Mo family heard this, they were in an uproar!
"Bird slippery! I ask you? What about your Master? What about your master, Mozi? What about your master, Mozi? Where is his old man? β
"This?" The bird was so angry that he couldn't answer for a while.
"As the chief disciple of Mozi, it is impossible for you not to know where the master is in seclusion? What about your master? Yang Zhu asked again.
That's it! The Mo family swordsman who was about to come forward to assassinate Yang Zhu paused. Many of the people who came to encircle and suppress were frozen in place.
Regarding Yang Zhu's words, they were skeptical.
Oh, yes? What about Master? What about our ancestors? His old man said that if he went into seclusion, he would go into hiding, why didn't anyone know? Why didn't you hear about it beforehand?
Problematic! There must be a problem!
Again! The dispute between Mohists and Taoists did not exist from the beginning. But! Things in recent decades. Specifically, it was something that only happened in Mozi's later years.
When Mozi was in charge of the affairs of the Mo family, there was no such thing at all. But since the bird slippery presided over the affairs, the swordsmen of the Mo family began to exterminate the Taoists, believing that the Taoist doctrine was demagogic, and the Taoist doctrine taught the world to avoid the world and do nothing, and taught the world to live passively. To say that such a doctrine should not exist......
It is precisely because the Mo family provoked trouble first, and then there was a Taoist counterattack. Outcome! As they come and go, the Mo family and the Taoists have a grudge!
Taoism predates Mohist doctrine, and Taoism originates from Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu, surnamed Li Ming'er, the word Dan, a word or said Boyang. Lao Tzu lived around 571 and 471 BC. The Mohist doctrine originated from Mozi, who lived between about 476 and 390 BC.
During the Laozi period, Taoist doctrine was only spread in a small area, within celebrity circles, and was widely recognized. Reputedly! Confucius visited Lao Tzu and asked him for knowledge.
The main propagator of Taoist doctrine was Yin Xi, the eldest disciple of Lao Tzu. Yin Xi systematically accepted Lao Tzu's teachings and spread them by him. It was only during the Yin Xi period that he began to give apprenticeships publicly. Yang Zhu is Yin Xi's closed disciple and has his true inheritance.
During the Yin Xi period, he was not the kind of active apprentice. Disclosure is openness, just passive acceptance. Some people are willing to learn, and Yin Xi is willing to teach them. In Yin Xi's later years, there were too many disciples, and there were too many disciples who needed to solve their doubts. And! These disciples are all over the nations. Yin Xi then ordered Yang Zhu to travel around the world to solve the doubts and doubts of his senior brother, senior sister and younger generations.
From the beginning of the Yang Zhu period, it was truly open to the apprenticeship! Take the initiative to teach! Yang Zhu traveled around the world to answer questions for his senior brothers, senior sisters and juniors; On the one hand, he openly teaches disciples and recruits his own disciples.
The prevalence of the Mohist doctrine was during the period when Yang Zhu traveled around the world to preach.
In the beginning, the two major academic schools were still safe and sound. But I don't know when the two have had a confrontation of views. Outcome! The disciples on both sides did it, and after there were casualties, there were grudges.
Afterward! Both sides began to misinterpret each other's academic views, believing that their own views were the right way to go.
The Mohists believe that if they do not destroy each other, not only will their own doctrines and views not be recognized, but also let Taoist doctrines harm the world. Therefore! There are people who raise the banner of "human justice" and are bent on destroying Taoism.
Although Yu Huali is the principal of the Mo family, he is also very helpless. The junior brothers and juniors all thought so, and he had no choice but to obey.
Again! Three years ago, Yang Zhu personally killed his beloved apprentices Zhuang Buming and Dai Liu'er, how could he calm down?
Zhuang Buming and Dai Liu'er, that is, Zhuang Zhou's parents.
Therefore! The grievances between the Mo family and the Taoists are getting bigger and bigger.
Yang Zhu said that he deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, saying that he was a spy sent by Confucianism, and he was slippery.
It was also at this time that the disciple of the Mo family, who led the archers to besiege the thatched house, gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the Taoist priests trapped in the thatched house reacted against the attack.
