Verse 109 sits and talks

After thinking about it, the peddler extinguished the cigarette, "Senior brother, I thought of a way, you see, this person has to pursue a little bit in life, isn't it, it's nothing more than power, wealth, beauty, what do you need to pursue these things?" Of course, your path is relatively narrow, then take power as an example, the best way to see it at present is the imperial examination, the court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight ascends to the Tianzi Hall, how many students dream of the goal, and because of this, so the Confucian classics are thought of by many people, so if we tell the people of the world now, learning my Taoist classics can also ascend to the Tianzi Hall, or even surpass it, what do you say they will do? ”

Sure enough, several senior brothers were also smart people, and when they heard this, they all sat up straight, looked at the vendor with sparkling eyes, and then each glanced at each other, "Dabao, this method is feasible, then Dabao, tell us how to push our Taoist classics to the level needed for the imperial examination!" ”

The vendor took a banana and peeled it open, "That's the case, I don't know what your situation is, I'll just say that we are, our people are basically literate, that is to say, they have all read books, so we have a saying that everything is inferior, only reading is high, why do you say this, because reading makes people understand the truth of the world, and they can be promoted and rich, of course, we don't just read the way of Confucius and Mencius, that thing is useless, and we don't have many people who study it in depth, so we won't talk about it!" ”

"Today I will focus on telling you about our books other than Confucius and Mencius, listen well, Chinese, mathematics, chemistry, physics, geography, history, politics, geometry, algebra, biology, followed by Mao, advanced mathematics, calculus, etc., etc., there are probably no less than hundreds of categories, each category tells a truth!" The vendor swallowed the banana, and at this moment, flies came to grab the food, "Uncle, brother eats fruit!" ”

As soon as the hawker looked up, he found that these people, including Lao Yuan, were all looking at him with their mouths open, as if they had been choked by the neck, and when they heard him greet him, Senior Brother Wang responded to two lives, and he touched a lychee in his soul and threw it directly into his mouth, and after chewing two bites, he found that something was wrong, and quickly took it out, "Dabao, are all the things you just said you want to learn?" Can I become an official after studying? ”

"What about this, if you learn it, you may not be able to become an official, and there is no need for an official to finish learning these, but if you don't learn all of them, only read the books of Confucius, we will probably starve to death, so these are the trend of future development, even if you don't learn now, you will have to spread in the future, and you can't stop it, so take advantage of this opportunity now, I can help you get these things, you see these things as the path found on the road to heaven and teach the world, and then after everyone learns, look at me and be obedient, If you learn some small ways, you can have enough food and clothing, and get ahead, so if you understand the way of heaven, wouldn't it be even better, in this way, I am afraid that no one will believe in it! ”

The peddler threw the banana peel into the flower pond, poured tea, and really couldn't get used to drinking this thing, but the cola was unloaded to Qingyangguan, and there was only mineral water left in the car. ”

Hehe, it seems that his own words have finally aroused the curiosity of this group of people, but in order to better drive them, they can't say things too simply, and they have to fool them into pretending to be serious, "Senior brothers, I really make me helpless, do I let you see that the teapot really only has that little thing?" ”

These seventy and eighty old Taoist priests looked at each other: "Senior brother, how come there are other truths that we didn't expect or even you didn't say?" ”

The peddler raised his eyebrows, "Of course, now let's look back at the scene of that day, oh, it just so happens that there is a teapot here, the situation is the same, right, let's go up from here, there is mud under our feet, and then the stone slabs are paved, this is a problem, the same things on the ground, why are some soft as mud, and some as hard as iron?" As he spoke, he clasped the stone table with his hand, and waved his hand to interrupt the questions of several senior brothers.

"Listen to me first, what is the reason why the mud can become this hard furnace, what is the reason why the charcoal in this furnace turns from wood to charcoal, and why does this charcoal burn in the air and not light it in the water, is it because it is wet? Or is there another reason? How can the teapot on this be made transparent, carved from stone? Why does water boil and under what conditions? Why is the tea soft when soaked in water, why does the aroma come out of different tea leaves have different aromas, and why is the shape of tea still different? ”

"Let's look at the roof of this pavilion again, why do you want to build it with wood, can't it be done with stone? How big of a stone would it take to crush these four pillars, and why did the pavilion be made on all sides to ventilate? So in the end, let's look up at the sky, why do some of the stars in the sky blink, and some really don't? Could it be that the stars are the eyes of the gods? Also Are stars eternal? Or will it die the same? ”

The peddler asked such a question as if he had 100,000 reasons in one breath, not only his senior brothers, but even Wang Yuanzhi, a person who had lived for more than a hundred years, was Spartan, and he was motionless as if he had been hit by the immobilization method, and only reacted when a cigarette burned in his hand.

Wang Xingzong asked, "Dabao, do you have to learn all these things?" But everybody can see it."

The peddler replied, "Yes, it's because you can see these things every day, so no one cares, once you study deeply, you will find that these things that are closely related to our lives are the key to pursuing the way of heaven, we have a saying that everything in the world has a reason, we call it physics, so there is a saying that the highest state of physics is mathematics, the highest state of mathematics is philosophy, the highest state of philosophy is theology, and on the way to pursue the way of heaven and goddess, we must start from the bit by bit research around us, Only by understanding these simple things thoroughly can we go further on the road of the Heavenly Dao! Therefore, it is extremely difficult to directly study the way of heaven and become a god, and it is impossible to reach thousands of miles without accumulating steps, and this is what I am talking about! “

There has been no movement for a long time, and the hawker feels that it has dealt a serious blow to the worldview of these people since he came, and it stands to reason that these people have formed a fixed mode of thinking after living for so long, and they also have their own worldview, so they should not be shaken casually, but the appearance of the hawker is not according to common sense, so it will produce a butterfly effect, and I don't know what will happen in the future, but it shouldn't be worse than the current situation.

Uncle Shi, who endured it for a long time, finally spoke, "Dabao, I may not be able to study anything in my life when I am old, I have observed the celestial phenomena for a lifetime, only to find that the truth is at my feet, sadly, your senior brothers are also old, and in terms of these truths, because time is running out, so they may not be able to study any results, and the affairs of the Daomen will be handed over to you young people in the future, but you remember that as long as I live for one day, I will cover you for one day, I hope that in a hundred years, you can tell me at my grave that our Daomen is already the largest religion in the world, so that I can be blind even under the Nine Springs! “
