"This book and sword discussion conference will last for a month, and the specific arrangements are as follows. The first 10 days are the time for the sermon. It was attended by members of each faculty and famous doctors. As for the members of the Sword Sect, if they are interested, they can also listen to it. The last 20 days are the time for the sword. Dong Zhongshu announced.

This discourse is open-ended, and members who come to participate in the Shujian Treatise can listen to it. But it's not completely open, and it's impossible for people from outside to come and listen.

On the first day, Liu An, a sage of the Taoist Academy, preached, and everyone listened.

On the second day, Shang Yu, a sage from the Legalist Academy, preached, and everyone listened.

On the third day, Mo Jianli, a sage from the Mojia Academy, preached, and everyone listened.

On the fourth day, Tian Fen, a sage of the Military Academy, preached, and everyone listened.

On the fifth day, the dean of the School of Medicine, Bian Suwen, gave a sermon, and everyone listened.

On the sixth day, Wang Xu, a sage of the Yin-Yang Academy, preached, and everyone listened.

On the seventh day, the dean of the Confucian Institute, Zisi, gave a sermon, and everyone listened.

From the 8th to the 10th, the Taishi Dong Zhongshu preached, and the major colleges gathered to listen. ”

The previous arrangement is no different from the previous book and sword discussion conference, but the latter is different. In the past three days, the major colleges gathered to discuss together. And now it has become Dong Zhongshu's sermon, and the major colleges are listening. This change made the hearts of the scholars of those colleges condense, Dong Taishi preached, could it be that he was going to talk about his original Shinto?

If he is willing to explain it to everyone, it will undoubtedly be conducive to the development of calligraphy.

"The last twenty days are the time for the sword discussion, and the specific arrangements are decided by the major sword sects and academies. Dong Zhongshu said, "Tomorrow, the first day of preaching will begin." "The Sword Conference is for everyone to participate in, it is the main event, and it cannot be arranged in a few clicks, so it is up to all leaders to discuss and decide.

After the announcement, Dong Zhongshu walked back to his place and sat down.

The next to go up was Changping Hou Weiqing, who was a strong man in the Military Academy, but he was also a general who defended the country. So he also stepped forward to make a phone call. Its content is nothing more than the hope that all outstanding young talents will be able to serve the military and serve the country after their achievements. His voice was loud and impassioned, worthy of the demeanor of a general.

But he knows it himself. He said this as a matter of routine. Those geniuses below tend to devote themselves to cultivation, and not many actually go to the military. In fact, he didn't like to do such a thing at all, but it was Emperor Wu's will to let him come to guard the Shujian Dao Conference and speak on it, and he couldn't disobey it.

Although he has no intention of joining the military. But everyone still has a lot of respect for him. After all, it was he who defended the security of the empire, which ensured that they had a quiet cultivation environment.

The last person to speak on the stage was Pu Liegong, the sect leader of the Haoyue Sword Sect, who said nothing more than some words of welcome and hope. In this way, the book and sword discussion conference was officially opened.

After the dispersal, the members of the various forces left the scene in an orderly manner. The following days were relatively easy for the people of the Ten Sword Sects, and they didn't need to participate in the Ten Days of Discussion.

And these ten days are the days when the Star Pavilion opens its auction, and they can go there to search for good swords. Or something like defensive armor to prepare for future tournaments. It can be said that the main objects of Xingchen Pavilion's business are swordsmen, they are the most numerous, and swords and armor are easy to obtain. For scholars, the magic weapon of the literati is relatively rare. Moreover, those scholars who participated in the discussion of calligraphy and swords were basically in the realm of lifting people, and had not yet reached the level of using the magic weapon of literati.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Changsheng participated in the discussion as a guest. Today it is mainly the saints of the Taoist Academy, and you are just listening. Of course, the listener can ask if there is anything they don't understand, but heated discussion is not allowed.

When the time comes. The front of the platform was already full of people. The people who came were all scholars from major academies, and there were also people who didn't belong to any academy like Li Changsheng.

Liu An, a sage of the Taoist Academy, was already kneeling alone on the platform at this time, and only those who preached were allowed to be on the platform, and those who listened had to be below. The whole scene looks. There is quite a taste of ancient saints preaching to ordinary mortals. Liu An, a fourth-generation Taoist saint, was about fifty years old and wore a Taoist robe. The crane has a childish face, and there are some fairy winds.

In front of him was an incense table, on which a furnace of sandalwood was lit, and the smell of it permeated him. It's not that it's a deliberate attempt to create that 'sacred' atmosphere, but because sandalwood can refresh the mind. Calms the mind and relieves fatigue at the same time. A saint's sermon is a day, and lighting sandalwood can make his mind more agile and his mind clearer.

Liu An, the sage of the Taoist Academy, actually has another identity, that is, the king of Chu! However, he is now using the identity of a Taoist academy, and everyone does not need to salute when they see him.

"The origin of our Taoist academy can be traced back to the 'Two Ancient Emperors'. Later, the first generation of sage Li Er gathered the wisdom of the sages and formed the avenue of 'doing nothing and doing nothing'. Liu An began to speak.

This primeval emperor refers to the emperor of heaven and the emperor of the earth. Liu An is the author of a Taoist book "Huainanzi", which tells the origin of Taoism. One of them is: The two emperors of Taikoo, the handle of the Tao, stand in the center. God and the transformation of the tour to soothe the Quartet. Liu An's scholars were able to reach the realm of saints, and most of them relied on this Taoist masterpiece.

"Its inaction, simplicity, migration with the times, should change things...... It does everything, and there is no way to respond to it, but it is suitable for change......" Liu An continued. To put it simply, Taoism can either enter the WTO and establish meritorious deeds, or it can drift away. This is different from the Taoism that ordinary people understand. In people's impression, Taoism is a monastic path hidden in the mountains and forests, eating and drinking, but this is not the case.

Li Changsheng listened intently, although he had an understanding of Taoism in his previous life, Liu An explained more comprehensively. Divine powers come from thoughts, and if the thoughts are not smooth, it is impossible to grasp the Taoist supernatural powers. Even if he didn't plan to cultivate Taoist supernatural powers, if he understood their thoughts more, he could know the characteristics of Taoist supernatural powers.

It is estimated that almost all the people who came to listen to the sermon from other academies had this mind, and mastering the characteristics of Taoist supernatural powers was conducive to dealing with the strong men of the Taoist Academy in the later sword conference. Of course, since someone listens, then the idea can be transmitted, which is also the benefit of preaching.

"Then what is the Tao? Zi said: The Tao is also the Tao, but the Tao is not the constant Tao, and the name is also the name and the name is not the constant name...... The same name is the same as the same name, the mystery and the mystery, the door of the eyes...... It means that the way of a saint can be followed, but it is not the only way...... Liu An said. It took him most of the day to talk about what the Tao was. (To be continued.) )
