Chapter 5: The Seven Bachelors (2)

In fact, Li Yanqing did not know much about religion.

He was an atheist, and even after his strange rebirth, he was shaken, but he could not be called a devout believer.

The [***] education of more than 40 years before rebirth is not so easy to erase.

Therefore, since his rebirth, he has more often been indifferent to the struggle between religions. Even when he wrote "The Original Way", it was a last resort. Is Buddhism good or bad, what kind of ideology is the ideology of Confucianism?

Li Yanqing didn't dare to say that he fully understood, and since he didn't understand, he couldn't say whether he was superior or inferior.

In his view, Confucianism has the benefits of Confucianism, and Buddhism has the wonderful uses of Buddhism. Including Taoism, all three have merits. But no matter what kind of ideology, since it exists, it must have a reason for its existence. Some people say that Buddhism castrates people's blood surnames and places happiness on the afterlife. Li Yanqing disagreed. It is true that Buddhism depicts a Western Elysium, but some ideas are not also fictional utopian xxism? The quality of his surname is not different. The difference is a matter of saying.

In his previous life, Li Yanqing respected Christianity very much.

Not in his teachings, but in his life force.

It is also a thousand-year-old religion, and no matter how much hypocrisy, bloodshed, and plundering Christianity has experienced in the course of its development, it has finally taken root in the hearts of the people. Therefore, when the values of later generations changed, Westerners were able to hold on to certain beliefs and fear or respect the gods.

However, in the East, after experiencing the westerly wind and the eastward drift of the West, the entire moral outlook has almost been lost.

The idea that money is omnipotent is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The whole country worships money, and the whole people worship gold...... Even the guidance of public opinion, under the slogan of criticism, is actually advocating money worship. At that time, there was a saying in society: that is, when xxism was shattered, people no longer had any faith. Fearlessness, lack of respect, and moral standards are lowered.

Here, I will not discuss the rights and wrongs of this thinking.

Li Yanqing thinks that the existence of religion is to make people afraid. With fear, perhaps society will be more perfect.

"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi!"

Li Chunfeng's voice echoed in his ears, waking Li Yanqing from his contemplation.

"What's wrong?"

"It's over!"

Li Chunfeng pointed at the Qilin Platform with his hand, "You seem to be thinking about things just now, the debate between Xue Gongzi and Master Daoxin has ended." ”

"Oh, who's going to win and who's going to lose?"

Li Yanqing blurted out and asked.

But when he said it, he felt a little regretful.

Is it so easy to tell the winner? Daoxin and Xue Shui have been arguing for a year without a result, and now there are more and more people participating in the debate, but I am afraid that this debate will become more and more intense, and it will become more and more difficult to see whether the winner or loser will be more and more difficult to see. His question was a bit stupid.

Sure enough, it was Li Chunfeng who answered him......

"My master was on stage just now."

"Oh?"

But he was only on the stage at the end and did not participate in the debate. He said he would join them next month......"

Li Yanqing was happy in his heart: Daomen, really started to act!

The so-called truth is becoming clearer and clearer, and this is probably the case. The people of Qilintai are not ordinary people. Whether it is Xue Shui or Kong Yingda, they are all from the gate valve world. It is impossible to imitate the shrews in the market and scold the streets, and between words, there must be a target.

In the same way, Buddhism requires the same knowledge and eloquence to participate in the sutra feast.

If Daoxin is messing around, he will scold him...... I'm afraid that there is no need to continue this discernment. And those believers may not be able to accept it. No one wants the gods they believe in to be a group of shrews who curse the streets in the market. The continuation of this kind of discernment is of great benefit to both Confucianism and Buddhism. Believers are confident! The direction of the development of Qilintai is a kind of high-level dialogue between religions.

Of course, neither Xue Shu nor Daoxin can represent Confucianism and Buddhism.

But no one can deny that they are the hope of Confucianism and Buddhism...... A year after the feast, it was of great benefit to both Confucianism and Buddhism. Therefore, as a Taoist disciple, you can no longer sit idly by.

"That's great!"

Looking at Xue Shu and Daoxin, who were preparing for a truce, Li Yanqing nodded secretly.

"Li Gongzi, who do you want to win?"

Li Chunfeng asked a question softly.

Yan Qing was stunned, thought about it, bent down, and blew on Li Chunfeng's nose.

"I'll tell you, but if you keep it a secret, no one can tell you."

Secret?

Li Chunfeng's eyes lit up, and he was a little excited in his heart.

Similarly, he was a little more cordial to Li Yanqing. In the hearts of children, adults who can share secrets with themselves are undoubtedly the most amiable.

"In the name of the Sanqing Patriarch, I promise that I will never divulge it to others."

"Actually, I hope ...... The last person to win is me! ”

"Huh?"

Li Chunfeng looked at Yan Qing in surprise, a little unsure of the meaning of this sentence. He thought that Li Yanqing would choose one of the three, but he didn't expect to get such an answer. Indeed, no matter who the winner of the Qilintai Sutra Feast is, or whether there is no winner, the final winner can only be one person - Li Yanqing himself, who opened the Qilintai Sutra Feast and promoted it to the outside world.

Perhaps, Li Chunfeng can't understand this truth now.

But after a few years, when he grows up, he will be able to understand the meaning.

****

Just when Yan Qing thought that this feast would come to an end.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting loudly from the audience: "Wait, I still have questions in my heart, I hope to ask the seven deans for a lesson or two." ”

The people who were about to disperse suddenly came back to their spirits.

And lively!

Li Yanqing followed the sound and saw a young man with a height of eight feet, stepping steadily onto the Qilin platform.

He has a chubby face and eyes as sharp as a falcon. With a humble smile on his face, after he came to the stage, he arched his hand to the seven academy deans and said, "Xiao Sheng has a question in his heart, and I hope that the seven adults will teach him." ”

The term "adult" here does not refer to an official title, but a vague general term.

Xue Shui was also about to leave, and turned his head when he heard it.

When he saw the person clearly, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Brother Xian, is that you?"

Daoxin also stopped, and slowly sat back down.

It is just that there is a lively and thunderous sky. What's more, looking at this person's posture, it's not coming at him. Naturally, he was happy to watch.

Daoxin was followed by a small novice, who also sat down.

"Master, what are they doing here?"

Daoxin put his finger to his lips, and after a sigh, he said in a low voice: "Hongren, don't be noisy!" Let's look at it, and you'll see. ”

The small novice is called Hongren, a native of Huangmei, Qizhou, and his family name is Zhou. is the same age as Li Chunfeng, and his experience is very similar.

Li Chunfeng was nine years old when he entered the Yuan Dao Changmen, but this little Hongren was seven years old and was accepted as a disciple by Daoxin.

He has been in Gong County for a long time, so he has a better understanding of the situation in the Qilin Pavilion. As soon as he heard Daoxin say this, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with his master and apprentice. So he sat behind Daoxin, took out a bag of pickled plums from the blanket, and handed it to Daoxin to taste.

Li Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and secretly screamed in his heart: Why is he here?

This person, Yan Qing can be said to be both strange and familiar. familiar because this guy will be his brother-in-law in the future; The reason for the strangeness is that since seven years of great cause, Li Yanqing has never seen him again. Now, this guy suddenly appeared, could it be that Guanyin is also here?

The person who took the stage was the eldest grandson Wuji.

Xue Shui was nostalgic for Luoyang back then, so he knew the eldest grandson Wuji.

After seeing him on stage, I couldn't help but scratch my head a little. Although Perak Hall has declined, the problem is that this one is the brother-in-law of the backstage boss of the Kirin Hall!

"Mowgli, what questions do you have?"

"Xue Dalang Hugh wants to speak, I am on stage today, I am really asking Mr. Xu."

Mr. Xu, naturally, refers to Xu Jingzong, who compiled "Annihilation Notes" on behalf of Li Yanqing to collect money. He is now also the dean of one of the Seven Academies, and when he heard that the eldest grandson Wuji pointed the finger at him, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Xu Jingzong is twenty-five years old this year, and because of his background and his unique experience, he has always been very low-key among the deans of the Seven Deans. He is outstanding in learning and has beautiful rhetoric, but he also knows that it is difficult to mix. So in the Kirin Pavilion, never quarrel with people. Even if someone accuses him, he laughs and passes.

As long as the big boss is satisfied, your accusations are a piece of!

And his big boss is naturally Li Yanqing...... Among the seven deans, he has the highest salary. Of course, it seems that Xue received Yao Yi and Kong Yingda, and he didn't care about the salary at all. What they pursue, one is fame, and the other is learning.

The family is wealthy, so there is no need to think about these problems.

But Xu Jingzong is different, he has to think about his own survival.

After experiencing the twists and turns in his career, Xu Jingzong realized a truth: the shit is conscientious, and the shit is for the country and the people. can satisfy the boss, even if you don't do bullshit, you can still soar; But if you offend the boss, no matter how good it is, what's the use?

It is precisely for this reason that he is willing to bear the infamy and compile "Annihilation Note".

In fact, only in the compilation of the "Two Han Chapters", Xu Jingzong collected nearly 800,000 yuan for Li Yanqing. Now he is presiding over the compilation of the "Two Jin Chapters", and he has not yet started writing, but has finalized more than 200,000 yuan. For this reason, Li Yanqing did not treat him badly. On the surface, Xu Jingzong's salary is the least, but secretly, Xu Jingzong's income in the past two years has also been nearly 30,000 yuan. With such a high reward, Xu Jingzong can not do his best.

However, it is precisely because of his high income that his expenses are also conspicuous.

No, all the infamy has gone to Xu Jingzong, and Li Yanqing has hardly been affected.

Xu Jingzong is also very smart, he knows that the more he spends, the greater the infamy, and the more benefits he will get in the future.

You don't see, Li Yanqing was knighted by the male of Gong County at the age of sixteen, which can be described as the only one since the great cause.

When Li Yanqing's filial piety period expires, once he comes out, he will definitely soar. No matter how hard he is working, he is a turbid official. Even if there is no hijacking of the flying yellow stable, the future is bleak. But now, with Li Yanqing, there will be a future.

This is Xu Jingzong's thoughts!

He glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, a little puzzled.

If it were a different person, he wouldn't be able to shake it...... But for the eldest grandson Wuji, there are still some concerns.

Although he didn't know the identity of the eldest grandson Wuji, Xu Jingzong had seen it in the restaurant, and this person was accompanied by Su Lie, who entered the county seat and stayed in the Li Mansion. What kind of character is Su Lie? That is Li Yanqing's henchman, the commander of the Mo Qilin army, and he is very trusted by the boss.

Everyone in Gongxian County knows that Li Yanqing has 'one immortal and one guard, black and white'. An immortal is the flesh flying fairy Shen Guang, black and white, naturally talking about the majestic sea and Kan Leng. And that one guard refers to Su Lie and Su Dingfang. These four people are the basis of the Li Mansion's force.

Someone who can make Su Lie respectful......

Xu Jingzong smiled slightly, "I don't know the son, what questions do you have?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were sharp, and he arched his hand, "I just want to ask Mr. one question: What is benevolence and what is righteousness, please ask Mr. for advice." ”
