I didn't know where the opponent was hiding, and it was very unsafe outside, so Fang Jishi helped Taoist Lao Tzu into the inner room.

Although Lao Tzu was not seriously injured, he only suffered some skin trauma and burns. But due to the increased tension, his body was very weak.

"How so?" Fang Jishi helped Lao Tzu to sit down on the side of the desk and asked.

"It's hard to put into words!" Lao Tzu sighed: "This is the case in the palace, there are too many factions, and it is difficult for you to remain neutral." Once someone mistakenly thinks you're on the wrong side, someone will come and ask you for trouble. Alas! ”

"I think?" Fang Jishi thought for a moment and said, "It's related to today's sermon!" ”

"With?" Lao Tzu asked in surprise, "What does it have to do with today's sermon?" You? Do you think the same? ”

Fang Jishi nodded affirmatively towards Lao Tzu and said, "You have also seen the situation above the banquet of the Son of Heaven, there are so many people who oppose your preaching. What's going on? Why are so many people opposed to your preaching? This? ……”

Lao Tzu shook his head and sighed: "I have long known that my Taoism is difficult for the world to accept. ”

"Why?"

"It is for this reason that I have been secretly and silently researching, and I dare not take it out until I am 100% sure. But? This is not? Alas! ”

Lao Tzu meant: If you hadn't come and told this secret, who would know my Taoist theory? Who knows my word?

Of course! Lao Tzu did not mean to complain about Fang Jishi.

This is not? It's just a matter of talking!

"Why is this happening?" Fang Jishi sighed again and asked puzzledly.

"Why? Not yet? To accept my Taoist theories, they had to change their previous perceptions. To know! It is very difficult to change a person's preconceived notions, that is, prejudices. To change a person's preconceptions, unless the person has experienced a special event that compels him to make a change. Otherwise! They won't change the old stereotypes! So! These people are against Taoism and do not accept my Taoist theories......"

"Oh?" Fang Jishi seemed to understand "oh".

"Actually! It is not difficult to change a person's concept! In this troubled world, the fate of people is changing all the time, and it is uncertain. A king today may die tomorrow. One day it is a nobleman, tomorrow it may be reduced to a beggar or a disabled person. When a person has experienced setbacks, they begin to think about life......"

"So? What is the reason? ”

"What is the reason?" Lao Tzu shook his head again and sighed: "It's the reason for interests!" ”

"Reasons for interest?"

"Because! They do not accept Taoism, they do not accept a new outlook on life. The reason is that if they live according to Taoist theory, they are afraid of losing the happy life in front of them.

They may think that once they accept Taoism, they will give up the happy life in front of them, and the current pattern of life will be broken. And giving up the current happy life does not mean that you can immediately wait for a better life than the current happy life. Since the future is unknown, it is better to live according to the current pattern......"

"Aren't they doing it for their own selfishness?"

"Hmm!" Lao Tzu nodded affirmatively.

Everyone believes in Taoism, and giving up the life in front of them is tantamount to letting them give up the happy life in front of them and live an unknown life that may be a "painful life".

This is one of them! And the other one!

These people think: What if they give up on the happy life in front of them, and others don't? What about others continuing to live their current lifestyles? What about maintaining the monarchy? So? Aren't they fools who give up a happy life and live a miserable life?

"So? We don't promote it here with these officials, we promote it in another place, and we go to the broad masses of the people to promote it? How is it? Fang Jishi asked.

When Lao Tzu heard this, he shook his head again and said, "Everything has a benefit and a disadvantage!" It is promoted here by officials and the upper class, and there is resistance to it, but it also has a certain effect. For example! Isn't our Great Zhou Tianzi a strong supporter? Isn't it? In order to let me promote Taoism, he also specially chose a day to open an altar to worship heaven and earth and the temple. Isn't it?

And also! If there are supporters, their influence is quite large! Isn't it? After all, they are officials, and they have a certain right and influence, right?

Similarly! When it is popularized among the broad masses of the people, there are many of them, and there must be many supporters. But? Are they people with little power and light power? What's the use of them believing in your teachings? They can only benefit from themselves, but they can't promote it? ”

After listening to Lao Tzu's explanation, Fang Jishi felt that it was too! People have little power, they can't protect themselves, and it's a big deal to benefit themselves, but they can't help you do promotion.

The two talked for a while, and then the guards who had gone to find the dark arrows returned.

Seeing that the guards looked dejected one by one, Fang Jishi didn't ask any more questions. No need to talk nonsense, it must be that the person was not found.

The prince's guard stepped forward and stood in front of Fang Jishi, shook his head, and said in frustration: "We went late, that guy was rescued, and there was a pool of blood on the ground. There are footprints of two other people. ”

"Whose person do you guess?" Fang Jishi asked.

Seeing this, Lao Tzu hurriedly stopped: "Don't guess! Speak with facts and evidence. ”

The people around listened to it, but they didn't dare to say any more.

There are too many factions in this palace, and once you expose your details and are on the wrong side, you may suffer from other people's plots. When the time comes! You don't even know how you died.

After a while, the street outside the Great Zhou Library was chaotic again.

Fang Jishi and the others didn't know what was going on, they all went out of the courtyard and stood at the door, wanting to see what was going on?

"Martial law in the whole city! A city-wide raid! Everybody stand still and don't move! Those who disobey the order will be killed! ”

A team of about 200 palace guards came over and surrounded the library. Under the command of a small leader, control everyone on the scene. And then! Then someone was sent into the burned library and searched.

"The Dharma Protector General is over there!" A palace guard reminded in a whisper.

The little leader heard that Fang Jishi was also at the scene, so he hurriedly dismounted and trotted over.

"General! Offended! We are on the orders of the Lord to search for the whole city! Capture the escaped fugitives! The little leader saluted and explained to Fang Jishi.

"Prison escapees? There is also a prison in the palace? Fang Jishi asked puzzled.

"Yes!" Lao Tzu interjected: "It's a prison! The ones who are locked up are all heavyweight suspects! ”

"That?" Fang Jishi asked, "Who escaped from prison?" Who? ”

"This?" The little boss was suddenly embarrassed.

"Who? Say! Maybe I can help you out! Fang Jishi asked.

"This?" The little boss thought about it and felt that it didn't hurt for the other party to say the cornerstone. "He's a defeated general under the Great General! It's the man who was defeated by the general outside the east gate......"

"Who?" Fang Jishi suddenly became interested and asked, "Is that the guy who rode the horse with a broken tail?" He? Hahaha......"

"The broken tail of the broken tail of the horse is still thanks to you! Hehehe......" Lao Tzu also laughed on the side.

"Why didn't he kill himself?" Fang Jishi stopped laughing and asked.

"He's a heavyweight, someone might not let him die!" Lao Tzu interjected again.

"Oh?" Fang Jishi let out an "oh".
