Chapter 136: Taoism: The Unity of Heaven and Man
The famous master has done it, there is no difficulty at all, from simple to difficult, then the next step is to go to Confucianism, Confucianism at least has no problems on the surface.
It was not early, and then Xia Li was ready to rest here for a day and set off the next day.
The small sage village of Confucianism in the world, located in the former Qi country, is very close to the past from the Song country, and if you ride a horse. If you don't get lost, you can get there in two days.
Following.
Xia Li got up early in the morning, and it was another day full of vitality, he was promoted to get rich and married his daughter-in-law, cheered up, had breakfast in the inn, and then took the big dumplings and prepared to set off.
Not long after he walked out, in the crowd, there was a sturdy woman in green, holding a mask, half-concealed and half-concealed.
"Oh, Mr. Xia Li, people are about to look for you, it's really like not seeing you for three autumns." Gongsun Linglong's movements were extremely exaggerated, and he walked over with a twist, and said with a smile.
Xia Li was a little speechless, why is it her again, where is it a day, didn't you just see it yesterday, I haven't seen it all night.
"Mr. Gongsun, I don't know what else to teach?" Xia Li asked.
Gongsun Linglong pulled Xia Li, she also led a horse, and said with a smile: "I guess Mr. is definitely not only coming to my famous house on this trip, Mr. is also going to another house, right?" ”
"yes, yes, I'm going to go."
Gongsun Linglong was happy in her heart, that's good, "Mr. Xia Li, people have important news to tell you, can Mr. let me go with me?" People used to have no way to repay the king, but now that they have this opportunity, they also want to ask for credit in front of the king. ”
Xia Li thought about it for a while, take her with her, she can still be a lobbyist, which can just make up for my lack of good words, and it complements each other, which is also very good.
"Well, sir, what's the good news?" Xia Li asked.
Gongsun Linglong said: "Taoism is divided into two factions of heaven and man, presumably Mr. knows, these two factions have a debate between heaven and man every five years in the Taiyi Mountain Guanmiaotai, this year happens to be the fifth year, and people have just gotten the news, it should be within half a month, the two families will gather in the Taiyi Mountain Guanmiaotai, then you and I can see the two factions at the same time." ”
Xia Li's eyes lit up, hey, this is good news, I'm worried that I can't find a Taoist, I'm really lucky.
"Thank you, sir, and please come with me and work together for the empire!" Xia Li arched his hand.
"Haha, no problem."
So, the two of them happily went on the road, Taiyi Mountain Guanmiaotai, also in the territory of the old Song Dynasty, at the latest the next day can also arrive, get there, and then wait for the rabbit.
Before we begin, a word about the time, the current date of this book is 222 BC.
The beginning time of the first part of the original book is unknown, Jing Tianming may or may not be a posthumous son, he was twelve years old at the beginning, Gao Yue was twelve years old, and Shaoyu was fourteen years old.
This book uses Shaoyu's age as a timeline, he was born in 232 BC, fourteen is imaginary, and he is thirteen years old, so the first part should be 219 BC.
The book is set in the first half of the first, second, and third parts of the book for the first half of 219 BC, the second half of the third part, the fourth part, and the fifth part for 218 BC.
The dividing point before and after the third part is to start Qinglong, and after leaving the Mo family, Tianming and others have traveled a long way to Confucianism, which may have crossed the New Year by the way.
In the fifth part, Master Xiaomeng and Xiaoyaozi said that three months later, the debate between the heavens and men of Taiyi Mountain Guanmiaotai may be 217 BC.
The last term is naturally 222 years ago, this year, Tianming is nine years old, Gao Yue is nine years old, and Shaoyu is eleven years old.
"Mr. Xia Li, I heard that you are a lieutenant of Xianyang, you must have extraordinary martial arts, I don't know how many people you brought this time?" Gongsun Linglong asked.
Xia Li shook his head: "No, I didn't bring anyone." ”
Gongsun Linglong was stunned for a moment, then used his brain, and thought: "Among the hundreds of sons, the strength of Taoism has always been in the forefront, and the number of disciples is large. Is it General Wang Li or General Li Xin? ”
Xia Li shook his head: "No, they don't come, it's just me!" ”
Huh? You're a meat bun beating a dog.
"Sir is young and promising, he can be an enemy of ten people, but what if a hundred people rush up at the same time? Doesn't the gentleman think about the way back? Gongsun Linglong said, she originally just wanted to play tricks and make meritorious contributions by the way, but she didn't expect that her life would be in danger.
Xia Li's answer was crisp and concise: "Bury it, bury it all!" ”
Gongsun Linglong's whole person was petrified there, she stopped, are you here to trick me, can you alone collect all the sons and hundreds of families?
Heheda, even if you are a sword master, you can die on the road, you are missing a social beating.
No, this act is more auspicious, if I die, it will be a loss of human wisdom, a woman like me who combines beauty and wisdom, I am afraid that there will be no second one in the world.
In order to let the world know what kind of woman is the real beauty, I have to live, I can't go, it doesn't matter if I die, but a peerless beauty like me can't die.
"Hey, people just remembered that there is still this matter that I need to deal with, sir, let's talk about it another day."
Sou!
After finishing speaking, Gongsun Linglong ran away without looking back, for fear of being pulled back by Xia Li.
Xia Li pouted, cut, Yingzheng believes me, you still don't believe it, I'll go by myself, but there is no helper with iron teeth and copper teeth, and it will be a little difficult to argue with them alone, so they can be broken individually.
After searching around, the next day, Xia Li arrived at Taiyi Mountain, where there is only a simple pavilion, which is rumored to have been the place where Lao Tzu realized the Tao, and later became a Taoist holy place.
Xia Li set up a tent on this mountain, hey, when will they come, it's so angry.
Five days later, Tianzong's Chi Songzi led his disciples here, which made me wait.
Chi Songzi is Xiaomeng's senior brother, a bad old man, and his strength should be between the two and the middle compared with Xiaoyaozi, probably a little worse.
Master Xiaomeng is still in retreat, and coincidentally, she was eighteen years old when she came out, so she should be fourteen years old this year, and Xia Li is also fourteen years old, and they are the same age.
Tianzong temporarily stayed at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the arrival of the Renzong, and then went up the mountain together, then Xia Li's opportunity came, and I was going to play a trick.
Taoist Heavenly Sect.
Tianzong lived in the inn, Chi Songzi sighed melancholy, and gently supported his forehead, hey, can you win this time? The old man hadn't touched the Xueji Sword for many years, and this time he learned from the pain and practiced hard, just to recapture Xueji!
If the old man doesn't win, the old man will ......
Knock knock.
He heard a knock at the door, well, God help me, don't swear for a while, and then he opened the door, and saw a young man standing in the doorway.
"Who are you?" Akamatsuko asked with a frown.
Xia Li grinned and walked in, he set up a barrier behind him, isolating all the disciples of the Heavenly Sect from the outside.
"Master Chi Songzi, I am Xia Li, the Imperial Xianyang Lieutenant, and I am here on the orders of the king." Xia Li said.
Since others call Xiaomeng a master, then her senior brother Chi Songzi should also be a master.
"Master! Master, you have to be careful, this person is strange, there is a barrier here, we can't get through! The disciple of the Heavenly Sect shouted.
They hammered hard, and the invisible but untouchable barrier in front of them just couldn't be opened.
Chi Songzi took a step back, vigilant, this person has extraordinary skills, he must have just entered the rivers and lakes, and he had never heard of such a young man in the empire before.
No wonder the Qin State can dominate the world, and there are talents from generation to generation, even if it is a descendant, it already has the power to take charge of itself, at such an age, if it is placed in my Taoism, I am afraid that only Xiaomeng can compare with it!
"What is the matter with this trip, sir! The Heavenly Sect has always been transcendent and has never interfered in the affairs of the world! Chi Songzi frowned, of course he was not afraid of Xia Li, but worried about the empire behind him.
Xia Li's attitude was very respectful, and he bowed his hand and said: "Master Chi Songzi, Xia Li is still here for the empire, King Qin swept Liuhe, the world has been decided, Lao Zhuang's learning, if he can contribute to the empire, wouldn't it be perfect." ”
"Taoism pays attention to quiet and inaction, conforms to nature, at this time the people are in the time of recuperation, it is the time when Taoist doctrine plays a role, at this time Taoism should ignore the people?"
Chi Songzi is not as stubborn as Xiaoyaozi, he is easier to speak, in the original book, he is indeed on the side of the empire, Xia Li's words actually made him tempted, and he has long intended to take refuge in the empire.
"This is a big deal, sir, let me think about it." Chi Songzi sighed and said slowly.
"For the country and the people, please think twice!"
Chi Songzi is not an old nobleman, and he does not have the position of the Six Kingdoms, as long as he is not an old nobleman, he is basically easier to talk to, and there is no problem with letting them serve the empire.
"Okay, the debate between heaven and man is imminent, the Xiaoyaozi of the Human Sect, who used to be a chivalrous man when he was young, has always regarded himself as chivalrous, and he probably doesn't approve of what King Qin did!" Akamatsuko said.
Xiaoyaozi, this is a trouble, he is already an old man, the older the average person is, the more difficult it is to change the three views, his thinking has become a fixed formula, and it may be extremely difficult to reverse it.
Xia Li nodded, the meaning of the debate between heaven and man, on the one hand, is for the Xueji sword, and the other two are also to confirm each other, which is the right way.
"Master, since the two families of heaven and man have been separated for many years, if the two families are united, the person who holds the Xueji sword is the head of the two families, and the master only needs to win the debate between heaven and man, then he can be in charge of the entire Taoist." Xia Li proposed.
The one who holds the sword of Xueji is the head of the two families?
Chi Songzi smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "What Mr. said, it's actually good, this is what I've always wanted to do, but it will take some time, and the debate between heaven and man in three days will be said in front of the two disciples, and then it will be discussed and decided at that time." ”
Xia Li nodded, and then just wait and see what happens, if it can really go smoothly, then everything will be fine, this session is proposed, and the next session should have a result at the latest.
After Lao Tzu, Taoism has been divided into two factions of heaven and man for hundreds of years, and now that the Seven Kingdoms have been unified, the Taoism should also return to its original appearance.
Three days later.
The two families of heaven and man gathered at the Taiyi Mountain Guanmiaotai, Xueji sword is not a sword, and at this time Chi Songzi has a more ambitious plan.
This year's Xue Ji Sword, even if she loses to Xiaoyaozi, then she has to put forward the idea of the unity of heaven and man, so that five years later, her junior sister Xiaomeng will recapture Xue Ji in one fell swoop, and she is also the head of the two Taoist families.
Put a long line and catch big fish.
Taiyi Mountain Viewing Terrace.
The scenery here is beautiful, this mountain seems to be a paradise, it is the fairyland of the world pursued by the monks, and the extreme eye overlooks, what catches the eye, is the fireworks in the world under the mountain, the room exists at the same time as entering the world, it can be described as a wonderful platform.
"Senior Brother Xiaoyao, I haven't seen you for many years." Chi Songzi smiled and said politely to him first.
Xiaoyaozi is a dignified old man, and he returned the salute: "Senior Brother Chisong." ”
Taiyi Mountain Guanmiaotai, is a grand meeting of Taoism, only held once every five years, this is very grand, Xia Li disguised himself as a disciple of Taoist Tianzong, behind Chi Songzi, personally came to observe the conference.
Chi Songzi is holding a hundred Xueji swords, he has been in charge of this sword for five years, oh, no, it's not five years, five years is the last session, then he is also in charge of the last session, and it seems that he is also in charge of the last session.
If you look at it this way, this sword, he has been in charge for fifteen years?
Hey, for Xiaoyaozi, he came here to renew the contract for this Xue Ji Sword for another five years, but he didn't think about anything else.
Xiaoyaozi also heard about Tianzong's Xiaomeng, but a little girl, how powerful can she be? At least this session will not come, and I have taken the five-year contract.
And you don't need money to renew the contract, you say it's uncomfortable.
Xia Li analyzed the strength of the two people, from the perspective of internal force, the two of them are half a catty and eight taels, almost the same, after all, they are all old fritters who have lived for so many years, and the background is similar.
But Xiaoyaozi has obvious advantages, he was a swordsman when he was young, and the foundation of that swordsman is still there, so he is better in swordsmanship.
If you really want to fight, Xiaoyaozi will obviously have the upper hand.
"Senior Brother Xiaoyao, Brother Fool has a word, is Brother Xian willing to listen to it?" Akamatsuko said.
Xiaoyaozi's face was expressionless, and he said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Chisong, please advise." ”
The people around them held their breath and listened to the conversation between the two of them, and their words and deeds were all related to the next five years of Taoism.
Five years ago, the Qin State has shown a trend of sweeping the Liuhe, these five years have passed, the Qin State has done it, and the combination is the general trend of the world, Taoism has fallen apart for hundreds of years, and the appearance of Lao Tzu has been very different.
The wind and clouds are changing, why don't I take advantage of the trend and return to the family, what does the virtuous brother think about this? Akamatsuko asked.
