Chapter 161: Believing in What You Are Because You Are Afraid
Fan Jin didn't look like a pirate with an eye patch, if it weren't for the bald scoop and money rat tail, his cold temperament, coupled with the dazzling light of his one-eyed, made Li Yan involuntarily think of a certain one-eyed name of Xiao Yuben, called Ida.
"Actually...... At first they came to intimidate me a few times, maybe I didn't dare to think about it anymore. ”
Fan Jin said lightly.
"But obviously they don't think it's necessary, I'm like an ant, people are disturbed by ants, and they are trampled to death, how can they talk to ants?"
Fan Jin was relieved with a thorough understanding, which made his whole temperament stand up.
"But this ant didn't realize that he was an ant, and he still wanted to talk to people, so he ......"
Then he looked at Li Shi.
"The ants are dead, but the Gu worms are alive."
Li Xi nodded, when his sister was not yet missing, Fan Jin still had a trace of luck, tied to his luck of seeking justice, and after this hope was shattered, the road also collapsed. After talking to Duan Hongshi, Fan Jin has found a new direction.
It's just that this direction is still different from what Li Xi thought.
"I don't believe in anything anymore, whether it's a saint, an emperor, or God, what I want is to give them retribution with my own hands......"
The background of the whole thing, as well as the actions of Li Shi and Duan Hongshi, Fan Jin knew it. His relief carried a sense of dust, but this was not a refreshing dust, but a void dust.
"Why don't you believe in God?"
"Just like a Buddhist, if he doesn't believe it, God can't help him, because he is not afraid."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, what you have to believe is what you are afraid of."
When Fan Jin said this, Li Shi fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he looked up at Fan Jin again, with a mighty stretch in his eyes, as if a majestic giant door was open in his heart.
"You say the opposite, what are you afraid of, what do you believe."
beckoned Fan Jin to follow, and the two came to another building in Zhuangxue.
"Some sages have said that they have been passed down through the ages, and naturally have their own truths, such as that heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and man is also one of all things. From this point of view, it is impossible to completely see through the flow of heaven by relying on human eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. For example, retribution, retribution doesn't make you sit and watch like a bystander, you say you want to give them retribution with your own hands, isn't it God pushing it? Blood revenge, this is also the words of the saints, but it is also the way of heaven. ”
Li Xian sighed.
"You should also know that there is also a big problem with the words of the saints, that is, the small words and the righteousness, so the generations can be sharpened. The original intention of the saints has long been unknown to today, and we have to throw it away. ”
As he spoke, Li Xi found a few things.
"The reason why you don't believe in God is because you haven't seen the real God."
A round piece of glass, a piece of paper, Li Xi put these two things under the window.
Li Shi asked Fan Jin: "Huainan Wanbi Technique" said, cutting ice to make a circle, raise it to say, and use Ai to accept its shadow, then the fire is born, do you believe it or not?" ”
Fan Jin frowned: "This is a strange miscellaneous account of the Huainan faction, I'm afraid it is...... Not really. ”
He still doesn't believe it, although his surname is no longer poor and sour Xiucai, but he has read the books of sages, and when it comes to specific things, he still has to look at the problem from the perspective of Confucianism. But he also knows that Li Xian has a lot of tricks, almost a fairy, what strange things can be done by immortals, who knows? So I don't dare to firmly deny it.
Li Shi nodded, and said Of course you won't believe it, because this matter was confirmed more than a hundred years later, and before that, it was regarded as a strange and strange thing. 【1】
"But Jin Sui uses the arc copper mirror to make fire, in fact, the principle is the same as the ice mirror, do you believe it or not?"
The ancients had already discovered the principle of light refraction and focusing, but because there was no progress in optical glass, they only knew it and didn't know why, and it only became an experience. And Jin Sui is extremely inefficient in making fire, and it has to have a strong enough light to do it, so in this era, it is basically not seen, and even the vast majority of people don't know about it.
"Look."
Li Xi placed the magnifying glass across the paper, set the focus, and after two or three seconds, he saw a small black dot appear on the paper, and then gradually expanded, and finally a circle of flames was lit under Fan Jin's stunned gaze, until the entire paper was reduced to ashes.
"It's ...... What baby? ”
Fan Jin pointed at the magnifying glass, he was really scared. Even if he knew that there was a golden flint, he had never seen a fire start so quickly.
"It's not a baby, it's a truth, and the light is the ...... energy."
Li Xi briefly said the truth of light refraction, focus, and reflection, Fan Jin tasted it for a long time, and finally nodded. If this is the reason that works, then even the ice mirror, as long as the arc is right, can make a fire in a short time, and during this time, the ice will definitely not have time to melt.
"This ...... It's just the study of things, right? But Fan Jin's thinking hadn't spread yet.
"After the object, then what, is enlightenment?"
Li Xi smiled and began to break nonsense.
"If I study this truth and make a big mirror, so that everyone is turned into powder, and the building collapses into rubble, aren't you afraid?"
Fan Jin took a sharp breath.
"Old Master Duan also said that everything is a tool, and the Tao is in the instrument. But these instruments, people can not see all by relying only on their original ears and eyes, and they can only see more instruments with instruments, and you dare not believe it if you don't see the true face of the whole God? In the words of the sage, what heaven and man induce can actually be classified as the theory of things. The eclipse of the moon and the moon, the ebb and flow of the tide, the wind, thunder and earthquake, are all moving by the heavens themselves, and the way of heaven is endless. And people's life, death, injury and illness also have their own heavenly reincarnation. Every step you take, every breath you take, is bound by this Heavenly Dao, aren't you afraid? ”
Li Shi stared at Fan Jin's one-eyed eye, and saw a series of changes from it with satisfaction, from doubt to slight understanding, and finally to fear, which was originally difficult to show in Fan Jin.
"...... so"
Then Fan Jin thought more.
"Yes, believe it or not, heaven is on the head."
Li Xi nodded, he understood Fan Jin's thoughts.
"The difference is only that if we believe in heaven, understand the way of heaven, and follow the way of heaven, we will be stronger."
Li Xi said in a deep voice.
"The human heart is also a tool, and it also contains the way of heaven. You should have heard of the three I said before. Heaven makes gold and iron harder than stones, and all souls have to go through life and death, and these three believe that they are also gifted people and will not move through the world. If the way of heaven is universal, there will be more and more like-minded people around us, and then ......"
Eye to eye, Li Shi's mind was clearly and unmistakably transmitted to Fan Jin.
"Those of them who do not believe in Heaven will be judged by Heaven on our behalf!"
Fan Jin stared blankly at this gaze, feeling the power circulating in his body, gradually stirring up his silent pool, and finally converging into a fierce vortex dragon.
"You're not an immortal, you're a sage sent from heaven, I think...... Enlighten this Heavenly Dao! ”
Fan Jin finally made his mind clear.
"Good! Good! The way of heaven is endless, only by seeing can we be afraid, and only by fearing the sky can we believe in the sky, and this person's heart will be connected with the heavens, good! ”
Duan Hongshi's cheerful shouts rang out.
"There is a saying in Taoism, one qi gives birth to two rituals, two rituals give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, and gossip derives all things. But the method of derivation is said by each person, and there is no conclusive conclusion, so he can't see the witness, and everyone is justified. I have been alchemy for many years, and all kinds of visions are confused, and I have not entered the way of things. But I never thought that Gewu was where the way of heaven was, and everything else was nothing. ”
Then came the old chanting of Yiming.
Then the two of them turned in, apparently having been eavesdropping for a long time.
"You're wrong, the so-called way of things is that the rotten Confucian deliberately pushed the true way of heaven aside in order to carry out his rounded truth. In fact, what logic, induction, and other reasoning methods contained in his words are also the way of heaven. ”
Duan Hongshi sold the second-hand goods he got from Li Shi and refuted Yiming's old way.
"Yes, yes, I know that what can be seen, witnessed, repeated, and extended is the scale and horn of the Heavenly Dao."
Yi Ming Lao Dao hurriedly grabbed his second-hand goods to resist.
"With this, the cervical spine of this science will be connected, and the rest is to comb the tendons and fill the flesh and blood, and it can already be justified."
Duan Hongshi said, Fan Jin nodded again and again, which meant to take a name. At that moment, Li Xi almost spat out the word "science", but bit it again. He thinks that this set of things actually covers a wider range than science, after all, it also includes people's hearts.
"In my land of China, it is about respecting the heavens and fearing the ancestors, and our knowledge is about respecting the heavens as the Lord......"
Then Duan Hongshi's words were a little vague, and the three of them didn't hear it clearly, and when they understood, another name jumped in Li Xian's mind, but it stopped on the tip of his tongue, which ...... It's a little ridiculous, isn't it?
"Worship Heaven as the Lord, and let all the people worship under the true face of God, it is very simple, it is called ...... God...... Road! ”
Yiming Lao Dao hurriedly exited, for fear of being preempted by Duan Hongshi, this name made Li Xian smile bitterly, just one word.
"This ...... Yangyi has a so-called Catholicism, isn't it confused? ”
Fan Jin frowned.
"What does his foreigner's teaching do to us? That's just the flattery of those who worship the foreigners as their ancestors! They call theirs, we call ours! ”
Yi Ming said angrily.
"The old Tao also said, how can the foreign religion come to my Huaxia, how can we take our heaven?"
Duan Hongshi also agrees with the name.
"This ...... Believing in something doesn't mean that you want to establish a religion......"
Li interjected timidly, he vaguely felt a little ridiculous, this seemed to be the creation of some kind of Scientology? Somewhat...... What's that, right?
"This is the way, not the religion of burning incense and worshipping God, don't worry, you can't be the leader. Unless you add intimidation to ordinary people, such as the use of karma, or hell and heaven, that's teaching. ”
Duan Hongshi mocked Li Xian, which also made Li Xian breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that in Duan Hongshi's heart, learning is faith.
"If the sect leader is not right, the sect master can't escape, besides, since he is afraid of the sky, how can he not burn incense? Not only did you have to burn incense, but the old heavenly tablet that was erected before had to be expanded tenfold. Since the future is to be universally popular, how can there be no intimidation of ordinary people? They don't know how to discern so much truth, but they only understand retribution and reward. ”
Yiming's old way is different, he believes first and then learns.
"Wait for them to quarrel slowly......"
Li Yan shook his head helplessly and left, waiting for their sparks to collide before coming to collect their homework. He didn't think about establishing any religion now, and religion not only needed intimidation, that is, strengthened fear, but also needed to have a personality of God, which was difficult for him to realize.
At this stage, Li Xi just wanted to find a way to integrate science and Chinese culture, so as to absorb elites and become the core of his rebellion, and these elites were mainly scientists, engineers and managers, so as to ensure that the output power of the core of his business was large enough. As for the others, three is believed to be enough.
After walking a few steps, he found that Fan Jin had followed, Li Xi was a little surprised, and asked him, "I thought you would quarrel with the teacher." ”
Fan Jin shook his head firmly, "There is the fourth brother and the teacher to open the mountain, I will follow behind to learn, what I really want to do is to be a minion for the fourth brother, and do this against the sky...... No, against the Tartar trend! ”
Li Xian froze, thinking that his calculation had gone wrong, and he wanted to ask Fan Jin to help Duan Hongshi sort out this set of knowledge, but he didn't expect him to do practical things.
"So...... What do you want to do? ”
Li Xianxin said that you can't write now, you can't martial arts, do you continue to teach?
"I can see it, fourth brother, your guard, is the tiger wolf who rose up later, let me join the guard!"
Fan Jin bowed very seriously and seriously.
"Uh......"
Li Xian was almost choked, okay, Yan Sanniang didn't like red makeup and arms before, but now there is a weak one-eyed scholar who also wants to wield a knife and a gun, can you do it?
Just as he was about to persuade him to be able to do the revolution everywhere and to be a good brick of the revolution, the hard work in the past, as well as the characteristics of a certain type of military personnel in his previous life, mixed together, poured into Li Shi's mind, and had a ...... Doesn't he just lack such talent!?
"Okay, you come to be the gentleman of this military academy!"
Li Shi said this, Fan Jin was stunned again, is he still teaching? And...... He really doesn't know anything about this military science.
"What you have to do is to make the guards firm against the Tartars!"
Hearing Li Shi's words, Fan Jin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, laughing happily.
