Chapter 350: The Chu people lose their bows
The death of the sect was institutionalized by the West, and even the sect leader was confined. And the exposition of the religion is now unsustainable, a group of disciples are ready to take refuge in the West, and the remaining disciples are also difficult to support alone, and it is difficult to show glory.
Once the most prosperous Dao vein and three sects in the Three Realms have withered to this point, how can you not let the Qingxu Dao people whine and mourn.
"Why, exactly?"
Yun Yao saw that the Void Dao people were uncomfortable, and she didn't know how to comfort the other party, and she didn't know why. Maybe it's just like Taishang Laojun said, 'the opposite, the movement of the Dao', the Tao is eternally changing, there is a bottoming out, there is prosperity and decline, the three sects of the Dao vein reached their peak before the battle of the gods, and the three generations of disciples have become the main force of the Three Realms. However, after the War of the Gods, the three religions declined and the West rose, and the elimination of one and the other was just a phased adjustment of the Heavenly Dao.
It's just that when the Heavenly Dao moves, the Three Realms suffer, and the immortals can't escape.
Qingxu Taoist pondered for a long time, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I know why, it is because there is no etiquette and morality, in the past, we immortals were only for cultivation, enemies can be killed, relatives can be thrown, and fellow disciples can be disabled, but this is not right, so Confucius proposed 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith', which is not only the morality of being a person, but also the morality of being an immortal." It is precisely because these senior brothers of mine have no morality that they have no sense of shame and only care about cultivation. ”
Yun Yao said that this was the disciple of the Interpretation Sect who said that the Interpretation Sect was shameless, and it had nothing to do with her, and the Yuan Shi Tianzun would punish the Void Daoist if he wanted to punish him.
"I have decided, after I go back to the fairy world, I will also run a school, and I will also spread benevolence and righteousness, so that the three realms can learn morality." Qingxu Daoist made a grand wish, and suddenly the Dao foundation in his body was fruitful, but he didn't seem to notice it, and he didn't feel happy, he just said lightly to Yun Yao: "I'm going back to revise "Zhou Yi". ”
This is the task that Confucius gave to Yan Hui, Yun Yao looked at his back, thinking that after finishing "Zhou Yi", he would soar. Confucius would be very sad because Yan Hui was his favorite disciple.
After the revision of "Erya", Confucius praised it greatly, and told his disciples about the use of "Erya", and everyone was also amazed, and the first time I used the reference book, I felt very peculiar.
However, when Confucius wanted to promote "Erya" to the whole country, he was hindered, although everyone thought it was a good thing, but no doctor was willing to promote it.
Confucius was a little disappointed, and felt that his ideas were not accepted, after all, there was a conflict of interest with doctors from all over the world, but such a good reference book as "Erya" was not accepted, and I really don't know what these meat eaters were thinking.
Obviously, the promotion of "Erya" is beneficial to the world, and they all saw it, but they didn't accept it. If my ideas will shake their interests, the promotion of Erya will not have an impact. "Confucius is very pragmatic, although he does not talk much about profit, far less than courtesy, but relying on the only few expressions of benefit, we can also know that Confucius knows very well that everyone in the world is running for profit, but he firmly believes that there are some things that are more important than profit.
Later, Confucius's disciples were morally discounted, and the ideas they promoted became more and more realistic, and finally when they came to Xunzi, they didn't know whether he was a Confucian or a Legalist.
Xunzi's sentence 'Heaven is constant, not for Yao's survival, not for ruin', which directly indicates that the moral high ground is useless at all, and it is almost said that only interests are eternal. It is no wonder that Xunzi's student Han Feizi has become a representative of Legalism.
"Because the world is unstable, if you promote "Erya" now, and wait until the melons are ripe and fall, I don't know whose hands the fruits of victory are. How could they be willing to make wedding dresses for others? ”
After all, not everyone has the realm of 'success does not have to be me, success must have me' and 'cultivation but not participation in harvesting'. Especially in this era of precariousness, everyone is more willing to fight against others and snatch the fruits of others than to cultivate themselves.
In the face of Yun Yao's words, Confucius said: "In the past, the king of Chu lost his bow and wanted to find it left and right, but the king of Chu said, 'The Chu people lost their bows, and the Chu people got it, so why bother asking for it.'" But I don't think there is a need to limit the Chu people, but it can be said that 'people lose their bows, people gain it', and the promotion of "Erya" is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and in the end it is all the benefits of the world, so why bother with the gains and losses of a family? ”
By changing the Chu people into human beings, Confucius successfully walked out of nationalism and truly loved the world.
Yun Yao didn't know how to answer, the truth is this, but when it comes to interests, who can really let it go? I'm afraid that only the reincarnation of sages can promote "Erya" regardless of gains and losses.
"Aren't you disappointed?" Confucius found that Yun Yao was very calm, not sad at all, and it was really rare for his masterpiece to be so calm if it was not accepted by others.
"I'm a little disappointed, but sooner or later the existence of "Erya" will be recognized, and real gold is not afraid of fire."
"Haha, a good real gold is not afraid of fire, sometimes I really want to worship you as a teacher." Confucius was accustomed to Yun Yao's astonishing words from time to time, and couldn't help but want to see how much knowledge Yun Yao had in his stomach. Confucius could see that Yun Yao had never shown her full strength, whether it was studying or debating, or even compiling "Erya", she was at ease, which can be described as unfathomable.
"Yun Yao, do you know the way to stabilize the world." Because Yun Yao is unfathomable, Confucius wanted to ask an equally unfathomable question, that is, An Tianxia.
Yun Yao said: "I don't dare to say this question, I can only say that I have to correct the name of 'An Tianxia' first, what is 'An Tianxia'?" Regarding this, Yao Shun has Yao Shun's statement, Tang Wu has Tang Wu's statement, and a hundred Chinese people have a hundred sayings. I don't count what I said, I can only wait for future generations to explore, correct the name, and finally reach a consensus that satisfies everyone in the world, but the process will be very cruel. ”
"You can be my teacher." Confucius said sincerely.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Yun Yao hurriedly saluted.
Confucius sighed: "In the past, I took Zhou Li as the consensus, but now I think it is really outdated, there is no unchanging consensus, if there is really a world in the future where everyone is a king, then the consensus will change." "Confucius no longer revered the ancients, and began to look to the future.
However, it is too late for him to speak for the working people, and Confucius does not have the energy to go to the grassroots level, so he can only record these contents, hoping that someone will be able to develop wind, water, and firepower in the future.
Confucius would not have known that the contents he recorded were called nonsense by later generations, and that the "Zhongni Shuo Li" was regarded as a forgery and was not accepted by the mainstream until 2,500 years later.
Yun Yao thought that he would become a scientific guide for Confucius, and although he did not teach him advanced mathematics, mechanics, or chemistry, at least he was exposed to scientific methodology. It doesn't matter, there is Mozi after Confucius, Yun Yao thought to herself that Mozi is a real working person, and when the time comes, he can directly talk to Mozi about geometric principles, molecular formulas, and maybe artificial intelligence.
Now returning to the issue of the patriotic leyline, Yun Yao thought of a way, that is, to let Confucius exert his power in his dreams, which should also be possible. Others may not be able to, but Confucius can, as long as he believes, he can use the power of the Sage Wen in his dreams in advance.
