Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Statue of the Saint
Mr. Higashiri finished his speech in one breath, picked up his teacup and drank it in a big gulp, completely unrecognizable that he was an old man who was about to turn 100 years old.
Zhang Zongnian sat on the side with a sad face, in fact, like Xu Rui, he also felt that it was the academic bottleneck that involved too much of Mr. Dongli's energy.
In the past few years, as he has been restricted by the bottleneck for more and more time, his energy has not been as good as before, and if this continues, everyone is very worried about whether Mr. Higashili will be able to survive the 100-year-old mark in three years.
"Xu Xiaoyou's ingenious refutation of Taoism really makes the old man's eyes shine, I don't know what Xu Xiaoyou's opinion on the theory of the old man?"
After drinking the tea, Mr. Dongli took the initiative to ask Xu Rui.
Everyone present was a little surprised, Xu Rui was born in the military, naturally he is a soldier, although he had just argued with Tian Cong, but more of it was through four experiments to forcibly slap Tian Cong's face in the face of the Great Dao Zhi, thinking about it, he did not put forward any opinions.
From the previous exchanges, everyone also understood that he did not study Confucianism in depth, otherwise he would not be the first to interject, and I don't know why Mr. Dongli asked Yu Blind.
Xu Rui somewhat understands Mr. Dongli's thoughts, he has been trapped in his own thinking circle for too long, and wants to break the inherent thinking shackles through his own outliers, so he can't wait to invite himself as soon as he hears that he is making trouble in Longtai.
When it comes to Confucian theory, although Xu Rui has not studied it, he is familiar with 300 Tang poems, and he can copy poems if he can't compose poems.
To be honest, this set of theories should be very suitable for Mr. Dongli's current demands, but the problem is that Xu Rui also has selfish intentions, and he really doesn't want to see the Great Wei follow the old path of modern China.
After a moment of silence, Xu Rui suddenly asked Mr. Dongli.
"Sir, what is a saint?"
Mr. Dongli said with a smile: "Three hundred years ago, my great Wei sage Gong Youde once said, 'The sage is determined to be righteous and benevolent and the main is quiet, and the person is extremely strong'. ”
Hearing this, Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "The sage is determined to be righteous and benevolent and quiet, and the person is extremely strong", which should have been put forward by the Song Dynasty physicist Zhou Dunyi in "Taiji Diagram".
It seems that this so-called Great Wei sage Gong Youde three hundred years ago is also a copyist who has crossed over......
However, Xu Rui doesn't have time to care about these now, because the first part of this sentence is easy to understand, and the key is the word "main quiet".
The so-called "main quiet" means that the world before there is no heaven and earth is "quiet", so human nature is also "quiet", but the acquired "desire", must go through the "desireless" work, in order to achieve the state of "quiet".
This is already the prototype of "preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires".
Looking at Mr. Dongli, as a generation of people, he actually lives in a simple house and dresses extremely plainly, which is already extinguishing his own desires.
Also, Xu Rui noticed that there were potted seedlings in the room, as the only decoration in this room, it was very abrupt, maybe it was the test object he used to "check things".
It seems that Mr. Dong Li should gradually be inclined to the theory of science, even if there is no external influence, he should soon break through the bottleneck and embark on the road of science, and then the future of Wei will not be easy to say.
Thinking of this, Xu Rui sighed in his heart and said, "Sir, have you ever heard that the heart is reasonable? ”
"The heart is reason?"
Mr. Dongli was stunned for a moment, he felt a little familiar with the three words "heart is reason", but after thinking about it carefully, it was a little plausible, and he couldn't help asking: "What is heart is reason?" ”
Xu Rui said: "The heart is reason, and reason is also." There are things outside the heart in the world, and what is the reason outside the heart? ”
Mr. Higashi's brows furrowed when he heard this, as if he was in deep thought.
Xu Rui continued: "Taoism said that Confucianism and reasoning are actually the same thing in the eyes of younger generations, that is, the truth in the universe.
The younger generation has absorbed the essence of Taoism, and believes that reason is in all things, and if you want to understand reason, you must be reasonable.
However, regardless of whether things are qualified or not, reason exists objectively, but it can only play a role when it is engraved in people's hearts.
Therefore, the heart is reasonable, there is no reason outside the heart, there is nothing outside the heart, and there is nothing outside the heart.
When Mr. encounters a bottleneck, he doesn't ask about his heart, but he wants to take things, isn't it the opposite of the other, and how can he not be trapped in it as a cocoon? ”
"Brother Xu, don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing that Xu Rui actually taught Mr. Dongli a lesson, Huang Zhengyuan was suddenly shocked and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.
Zhang Zongnian pressed on his shoulder and snorted at Mr. Dongli, only to see Mr. Dongli frowning and looking solemn, as if he had grasped some key.
Could it be that the master was really inspired by Xu Rui?
Huang Zhengyuan looked at Zhang Zongnian in amazement.
Zhang Zongnian nodded at him and whispered, "Don't interrupt Xu Xiaoyou, maybe it's an opportunity!" ”
What the? Even Master Zhang thinks that Xu Rui can help his ancestors become holy?
Huang Zhengyuan was shocked, looking at Xu Rui with a shock in his heart.
Xu Rui ignored Huang Zhengyuan, stared at Mr. Dongli and continued: "My spirit is the master of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods.
If there is no spirit of self in the sky, who will look up to him? If there is no spirit of self on the earth, who will bow down to it? If the ghosts and gods have no selfish spirits, who will argue that they are auspicious and evil?
Heaven and earth, ghosts, gods, and all things are separated from my spirit, and there will be no more heaven, earth, ghosts, gods, and all things. My spirit is separated from heaven and earth, ghosts, gods, and all things, and there is no spirit of me.
Therefore, my heart is the way, and my heart is the reason!
The way of the saints, I am self-sufficient, do not seek anything else, the world through the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body to know all things, distinguish good and evil, this is the heart, everyone has the heart, everyone can be holy! ”
"Boom!"
Mr. Dong Li only felt that there was a thunder explosion in his mind, and the layer of window paper that had never been pierced was like the ice of spring melting, and a new world suddenly appeared in front of him.
Although Xu Rui's explanation is not necessarily correct, Mr. Dongli has accumulated so much, and the same words are different to his ears.
The road is simple, and the truth is often very simple when it is opened, but the thinking process is extremely difficult.
At this time, Xu Rui stabbed Wang Yangming's mind lightly, all the accumulation was integrated, those joints that had been unable to figure it out suddenly opened up, and the profound academic theory suddenly burst like a flood, and the water came naturally, and Mr. Dongli was only one step away from enlightenment and sanctification!
Seeing that Mr. Dongli's pupils shrank and his face changed greatly, Zhang Zongnian knew that he had reached the critical moment of breaking through the bottleneck, and suddenly straightened up, clenched his fists, and was extremely nervous.
Mr. Dong Li suddenly looked at Xu Rui, panting heavily, and asked the last question in a hoarse voice.
"Xu Xiaoyou said that everyone has a heart, so everyone can be holy, but it is easier said than done, if you know but can't, how to become holy?"
Hearing this, Xu Rui did not pause at all, opened his mouth and said: "Knowledge and action are one!" Knowledge is the beginning of action, action is the completion of knowledge, and it is those who do not know it; If you don't know it, you don't know it! ”
"Knowing but not doing is not knowing?! Unity of knowledge and action...... What a unity of knowledge and action! Hahahaha......"
Mr. Dong Li suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, raised his hand and swept all the teacups and teapots on the table to the ground, "jingle bells" a few crisp sounds, the teacups and teapots shattered to the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere, and even wet several precious ancient books.
The three of Yuwang were shocked, but Mr. Dongli didn't care.
He grabbed a large stack of papers, picked up the pen on the ink cartridge, and immediately began to write on the paper, writing and reciting words at the same time, with emotion and exaggerated expressions, as if he had been evil.
"It's done, it's done, it's finally done!"
Zhang Zongnian cried with joy, tears were in his eyes, and he arched his hand to the four teenagers: "The family teacher is enlightened, the family teacher is enlightened!" ”
Mr. Dongli delayed for ten years, but it was not wasted for ten years, the accumulation of these ten years is like a deep sea gathered in the heavenly spirit, once enlightened, he immediately entered the realm of selflessness, a thousand miles a day.
Several people were fortunate to see a generation of grandmasters enlightened and sanctified, and they were all excited, but they didn't dare to disturb Mr. Dongli at this time, so they quietly withdrew from the hut with Zhang Zongnian.
As soon as he came out, the white-haired Zhang Zongnian immediately knelt down with a "poof".
The four teenagers were suddenly shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Zhang Zongnian was very stubborn and refused to get up anyway.
When Xu Rui came to help him, he grabbed Xu Rui's wrist and said: "Xu Xiaoyou has learned from all the sons, he is really a peerless talent, this time he will not hesitate to dial, help the family teacher to become holy, great kindness, my Confucianism is unforgettable!"
As an apprentice of the family teacher, Zhang Zongnian is fortunate to witness his old man's wishes, and he is also happy for him, for the country, and for my Confucianism. ”
Saying that, Zhang Zongnian actually bowed deeply to Xu Rui, and the three of Yuwang, especially the real Confucian disciple Huang Zhengyuan, suddenly looked at Xu Rui with a stunned face.
