Chapter 185: Shoot People First Shoot Horses

The crescent moon is like a hook, and the silver glow is like water. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As soon as Su Yi knocked on the door, he felt a cool breeze sweep through the back of his neck and sent him into the house.

In the blink of an eye, the scene in front of him changed, and Su Yi still maintained the posture of knocking on the door, but the door had already jumped behind him.

Su Yi scanned the door panel behind her, and then looked at Qiu Yingyan, who was sitting behind the desk, and secretly snuffed out the fire of surprise in her heart.

"Lord of the hospital, Xiaosheng came to visit me late, and there was a lot of disturbance. Su Yi was polite.

"No need to be polite, sit. Qiu Yingyan nodded with a smile, his gaze as calm as water moved between Su Yi's face and the chair opposite.

Su Yi sat down as she said, and saw the two pairs of words in front of her, the calligraphy was vigorous and knotted, like a dragon dancing Jiao, which was obviously from Qiu Yingyan's handwriting.

One of the pieces of paper reads half of the poem that Su Yi had read before, and the other paper reads "Victory and defeat are the common situation of soldiers", which is what Su Yi said before the start of the chess tournament that day, and at that time, Yang Junxun's holy path fans were also removed.

Although the wave of curiosity whirlpooled in Su Yi's mind, he still held his heart steady and quietly waited for Qiu Yingyan to open the topic.

"Hold the bow as a strong one, use an arrow as a long one, and shoot a person first......" Qiu Yingyan stared at the poem quietly for a long time before he raised his head and opened his mouth.

"Do you have a following poem?" Qiu Yingyan provoked a meaningful smile.

"There is the following, but Xiao Sheng felt the rejection of the Holy Dao when he recited this poem, so he ......" Su Yi smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

"You bypass the point of rejection and try to write the following. ”

Qiu Yingyan's voice fell, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table moved without a hand, and came to Su Yi.

Su Yi also nodded, picked up the pen, bypassed the sentence "shoot people first and shoot horses first", and added the fourth sentence "capture the thief and capture the king first".

After writing, nothing bad happened, and Su Yi's tense heartstrings quietly relaxed.

Su Yi's words are much worse than Qiu Yingyan's, and the comparison between before and after seems so abrupt, but the latter doesn't mind at all, and his attention is all on the fourth sentence.

Qiu Yingyan read it a few times, closed his eyes and carefully savored it, and after a while, he stroked his palms and smiled.

"I see, if you make up for it according to the artistic conception and connotation of this poem, the last word of the third sentence should be this, right?"

After Qiu Yingyan finished speaking, he wrote down the word "horse" and added the third sentence of "shoot people first and shoot horses first".

The pen falls, and the whole poem is completed!

Then, I saw the whole poem on the paper pouring out golden light, tearing up the flickering candlelight, reflecting the room magnificently, and it took ten breaths to return to peace.

A look of surprise filled Su Yi's eyes, and doubts intertwined in his pupils: Qiu Yuan Shi can actually write the sentence "Shoot people first and shoot horses first" unharmed, can a person with a high military rank resist the rejection of the Holy Dao?

"This ...... Your Excellency, do you feel anything unusual?" asked Su Yi cautiously.

Qiu Yingyan did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "When you recited this poem in the morning, what was unusual?"

Su Yi thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to hide it, so she told the story of the shock caused by the military when she recited the poem, and finally said her understanding of the combat chapter of "The Art of War".

"Your understanding is correct, but it still leaves much to be desired, and the strangeness of your recitation of this poem is not that you are being rejected by the Word, but that you are rejecting the Word, in other words: self-doubt. Qiu Yingyan's index finger habitually tapped the tabletop and smiled.

"Self-doubt?"

"Self-doubt is the embodiment of actively rejecting and staying away from the Holy Dao, which will cause the collapse of the army's morale and the complete destruction of the heavy one;

Su Yi frowned, he had just stepped on the Holy Dao, and it was the first time he had experienced the consequences of self-doubt;

Seeing Su Yi bowing his head and thinking hard, Qiu Yingyan smiled indifferently and said another sentence, which suddenly woke up the person in the dream.

"There is a cloud in "Zhuangzi": the saint does not die, and the thief does not stop. ”

Su Yi looked stunned, just after a breath, his eyes seemed to see the sun through the clouds, and the fog of confusion was swept away.

Zhuangzi is one of the representatives of Taoism, and Lao Tzu is equally famous, he believes that people are born to breed and patrol the Tao, so everyone is born equal, the world is orderly, and wisdom, faith, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, filial piety and other holy ways, are artificially flaunted code of conduct, it is precisely because of the emergence of the so-called "saints" to establish and occupy the holy way, put themselves high at the peak of the holy way, and the mortal form a sharp contrast, there is the emergence of "big thieves".

Thieves are those who misbehave, just as light breeds darkness, and thieves and saints are also two extremes.

Therefore, there is no great thief without a saint, which is a doctrine that Taoism has been advocating for thousands of years, and Lao Tzu's advocacy of "absolute sage and abandonment of wisdom" and "rule by inaction" are in the same line, and have always been opposed to the Confucian doctrine.

But Lao Zhuang does not want to overthrow the holy way, but to restrain the existence of "harmony and sainthood".

He Sheng, that is, those who have the ultimate achievements in a certain or even several holy paths, but are bound by the laws of the world, and cannot be as truly holy as Sun Wu, such as Confucius Meng, Mozi, Han Fei, etc., and even Lao Zhuang himself, all belong to the ranks of He Sheng;

Lao Zhuang opposed the system of harmony, believing that it was the existence of harmony that gave birth to the rampant thieves, and that the stronger the light, the more intense the darkness, and also believed that everyone was equal in the holy way, and there was no distinction between superior and inferior.

Therefore, the phrase "saints do not die, but thieves do not stop" is pointed directly at the holy way, but the holy way is tolerant of this doctrine.

Can the sharpness of the poem "Out of the Stopper" read by Su Yi be comparable to that of Zhuangzi? Therefore, there is no doubt that the Holy Tao also accepts the existence of this poem.

The reason why the army's heart was shaken may be that he first learned the combat chapter of "The Art of War", and under his preconceived ideas, he naturally doubted the accuracy of the poem "Shoot a man before a horse".

Seeing Su Yiyun's mist-like expression, Qiu Yingyan praised in his heart, "The child can be taught", and opened his mouth again.

"Everyone understands the same holy path differently, and the holy path in their eyes will also have different forms, so there will be 'a hundred schools of thought contending'; and when I look at the phrase 'shoot a man before a horse' from another angle, I have come to another conclusion. Qiu Yingyan said.

Su Yi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Please ask the master of the courtyard for advice." ”

"It's surprising how deep your understanding of the Art of War is true, no matter what war, the fundamental purpose is to gain profits, so it is not tolerated by a soldier to destroy the spoils of war before killing the enemy, but think about it, is there a war in this world that has nothing to do with interests, such as...... War of the Races?"

Qiu Yingyan's meaningful smile was like a boulder thrown into Su Yi's new lake, which made his heart tremble.

yes, why didn't he think of that?

The more obvious things are, the easier it is to be overlooked: is it for the sake of profit that the human race fights against the barbarians?

The barbarians themselves are centaurs, in order to fight against the barbarians, in view of the weak defense of their lower body, the sages even developed tactics such as "chopping the horse's legs" and "chopping the horse's waist".

"Shoot a man before a horse" is not to say: Attacking the lower body of a barbarian is more effective than attacking the upper body?

Su Yi suddenly brightened, as if her mind was traveling in the sky, and the morale in her body suddenly rose by two inches, reaching one foot seven inches.

"Thank you for your kindness. Su Yi stood up and bowed sincerely, these words were enough for him to take a big step forward on the holy path.

"No thanks, you can write the whole poem and give it to me. ”

The corners of Su Yi's mouth twitched, it turned out that Qiu Yingyan had the original idea of collecting this poem.

But how could Su Yi refuse, let alone a poem, even if Su Yi took out all her net worth to express her gratitude.

"I'll try. Su Yi nodded in agreement.

After having a new understanding, Su Yi wrote this poem without obstacles, except for a pause in the word "horse", the whole poem was swept away.

At the same time, golden light poured out of Su Yi's body again, and at the same time, a dragon pattern pen phantom slowly emerged, as if it was about to break through the barrier of space and jump out.

But in the next blink of an eye, both visions dissipated.

"Well, it seems that Xiao Sheng hasn't been able to fully turn this conversation into his own use. Su Yi smiled bitterly.

"It doesn't matter, the karma of the Holy Way has a long history, chew it slowly, and there is no need to stick to it for a while. ”

Qiu Yingyan unceremoniously accepted the original poem, Su Yi thought that the first four sentences were actually only half of Du Fu's "Out of the Stopper", and the second half told about the way of peace, with his understanding of the art of war, it may not be enough to write the second half of this poem, so he pressed it for the time being and did not mention it.

Su Yi looked at another piece of paper, on which was written the sentence "Victory and defeat are the common situation of soldiers".

As soon as he wanted to ask, Qiu Yingyan said: "This sentence has been unanimously recognized by several old Yuanrong as having great wisdom and great philosophy, implying the effect of self-motivation and stabilizing the morale of the army, and it will be promoted throughout the human race, and you should also understand it day and night." ”

Su Yi wiped a cold sweat, he just casually quoted a common saying from later generations, which had such a big impact in this world.

But then he nodded, and there was a little realization in his heart.

For example, Mencius was not valued at first, and it was not until thousands of years later that it was praised by the Southern Song Dynasty physicist Zhu Xi, and was listed as one of the four books along with the Analects, the University and the Mean. ”

"But if a new doctrine appears in the Bingfeng Continent, it will be quickly verified and promoted, which is also the inclusiveness of the Holy Dao, if I have new insights in the future, I can boldly put forward it, so that the treasure culture of future generations can shine in this world.
