Chapter 41: Stand Up

The immortal road is not a matter of the moment, it has been "flourishing" for thousands of years. In the past thousands of years, the vicissitudes of the world have changed, and the dynasties have changed, but the fairy road has always stood tall.

In the hearts of people all over the world, the immortal way is a behemoth that existed when they were born, looked down with a detached attitude, and has always been "flourishing" and never decaying. The existence of this behemoth is so taken for granted that most people in the world don't have any idea of dealing with the Immortal Dao. The existence of the immortal path is like the sun, moon and stars, and this existence is so appropriate that people don't feel that there is any problem.

But the Immortal Dao is not without enemies. Looking at the world, the demon clan has always had a grudge against the immortal because it has not achieved the root of the demon immortal, and the immortal true immortal has always been the imaginary enemy of the master of the demon clan;

In the human world, it is Confucianism and Taoism that stand on the opposite side of the immortal way.

Over the years, there have been a lot of open and secret battles between Confucianism and Taoism, but Xiandao has the advantage of having a long enough life and enough believers, and slowly suppressed Confucianism to the upper hand. But even so, Confucianism and Taoism have not been completely defeated by the Immortal Dao, just because the emperors of the world still want to learn Confucianism and Taoism, and the criteria for selecting hundreds of officials are still Confucian classics. Although the immortal Tao is powerful, Confucianism and Taoism are the emperor's science that has entered the WTO, but it has the upper hand in the government and the opposition, and it has not fallen.

But among the people, it is an indisputable fact that the immortal Tao is the only one and completely overpowers the Confucian sect.

Although the Confucian sect is extremely dissatisfied with the "left way" of the immortal road, the time for the immortal road to flourish is too long, so long that even if the Confucian and Taoist people raise their arms, there are few responders. Although there have always been people in Confucianism who have been fighting with the Immortal Dao, the vast majority of people in the Confucian Sect do not care about the Immortal Dao and do not consider it.

In the remaining part, most of the people felt that they could live in peace with the Immortal Dao.

The last remaining small group of people stubbornly regard the Immortal Dao as the left Dao that disturbs the world and disturbs the Chaogang, and they have been fighting with the Immortal Dao non-stop. Although there are winners and losers in the court, among the people, the fairy road is still flourishing, the people still believe in the fairy road, and the fight made by this small number of people in the Confucian sect has no effect.

Xu Qi understands these things, and he also knows what kind of embarrassing situation Confucianism is facing now. It is precisely because of this that he wants to come to the capital of the country to see what kind of opinions these scholars, who can be called the future of Confucianism, have on this kind of matter.

Originally, Xu Qi was still worried about how to find such an opportunity, but now it's okay, the scholar who went up to fight asked what he wanted to ask for himself.

Listening to the scholars upstairs throwing out their own questions, the scholars in the lobby all looked a little strange.

Xu Qi saw this situation in his eyes, doubted in his heart, and asked the person next to him: "This brother, after the upstairs raised this question, why did all the brothers downstairs have a strange face? Could it be that the upstairs one committed some taboos? ”

The person who was asked by Xu Qi arched his hand, looked Xu Qi up and down, shook his head and said, "I don't dare to say it, it's just some common sense that often debates major events in the world...... Doesn't Brother Tai know that when he debates the world's major affairs with others, he doesn't care about immortals?"

Seeing Xu Qi's confused face, the man didn't sell it, and said softly to Xu Qi: "The immortal path is independent of the world, eating and drinking, practicing the Tao, and what he does is also ascending to the immortal and attaining the Tao, which really has nothing to do with the major events in the world." If the immortal path is also included in the world's major events, many things will not be understood. You can only save and leave it alone, and save it without leaving it ......"

"Oh...... I see, I see, I see......"

Xu Qi suddenly arched his hand at the man, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little cold.

Confucianism and Taoism were established in those years, and the immortal Taoism had not yet flourished, and the Confucian saints denounced all the Taoism except Confucianism and Taoism as the outer Taoism and the left way, but there was a meaning of existence and ignorance?

Outside the independent world?The dojo of the Immortal Dao is opened in the state capital, and the order is more effective than the state government's order, which sect is this independent outside the world?

To put it bluntly, the reason why there is such an atmosphere is just that the immortal road is flourishing, and it is difficult for Confucianism to resist. If you discuss the Immortal Dao, no matter what, it is easy to say that Confucianism is suppressed by the Immortal Dao, and there is nothing to be done one by one, isn't this to destroy your own prestige?

Xu Qi smiled at the corner of his mouth, but secretly said in his heart: "It's not too much different from what I thought, Confucianism has been fighting against Immortal Dao for many years, but Immortal Dao has been expanding its power in the world, Confucianism is facing Immortal Dao, it is impossible to be depressed, and one Wang Mingshi is enough to see many problems." Whatever exists, independent of the world...... It's just a group of shrinking eggs and waste to cover their ears and steal the bell. Hey, this is really a hell of only reading the books of the sages and not hearing anything outside the window......"

Looking at the scholars in the beam building with different colors on their faces, it seemed that the scholar did not follow the rules and mentioned things that should not be mentioned, Xu Qi almost wanted to turn around and leave immediately. It's just that the debate upstairs has just reached the highlights, and Xu Qi has to be reluctantly patient.

On the second floor, Tian Zongyun and the scholar sat opposite each other, and there were several Confucian scholars standing around.

Tian Zongyun listened to the scholar's question, and after a long while, he said: "The immortal path is just exhaling and refining qi every day, in order to achieve true immortals, and has no intention of getting involved in human affairs, and has no intention of being powerful. Our generation should know that it is right, and educate the people with the words of the saints, and the people will admire the way of the saints, and the people's hearts will naturally turn. What does Brother Tai think?"

"Educate the people with the words of the saints, and the people will be able to understand the way of the saints?" Hearing this, the scholar shook his head and said with a wry smile: "When I was studying in the state capital, I wanted to educate the people with the words of the saints, not to pursue the way of immortals, but to follow the way of the saints." But the results ...... Is it really possible to educate the people with the words of a saint?"

Tian Zongyun glanced at the scholar and said: "How much does Brother Tai comprehend the words of the sage, so he dares to use the words of the sage to educate the people? There is a profound truth in the words of the sage, and if Brother Tai does not understand it well and cannot explain it thoroughly, the people will naturally find it difficult to believe it." There are all kinds of simple means in the immortal road, and when they are used, they can eliminate the difficulties of the people, and the people are naturally convinced. ”

The scholar's face turned red with a few words, but Tian Zongyun didn't let it go, and continued: "The reason why the people of the world gradually pursue the immortal way and believe in the immortal way is because there are too many people like Brother Tai who don't understand the words of the saint thoroughly, but want to educate the people. Brother Tai stood up to educate the people, but he couldn't explain the sage's truth to the people, how could the people believe Brother Tai, and how could they believe the words of the sage?"

"From now on, please devote yourself to the saint classics, and don't do this thing to discredit Confucianism. When Brother Tai comprehends the truth in the experience of the saints, and then goes to educate the people, it will be natural and unhindered. ”

"Or does Brother Tai mean ......"

Tian Zongyun looked at the scholar, and there was a knife hidden in his words: "The people are stupid, can't they be educated by the words of a saint?"

Tian Zongyun's words were like knives, forcing the scholar into a dilemma. If you admit this, you are arrogant and invisible, regard the people as fools, and slander the teachings of the sages; if you do not admit that you have this meaning, that is, you are not good at academics, you are stupid, but you are very frivolous, you do not know the height of the sky, and you want to do what the sages have done, but you discredit Confucianism.

No matter how this question is answered, the defeat of the scholar is only in sight.

The Confucian students standing around them all quietly breathed a sigh of relief. This scholar is on par with Tian Zongyun, if he can't defeat this scholar as soon as possible, drag it back a bit, there are more variables, and it is really unknown whether Tian Zongyun can win. Now this scholar raised a question to let himself be planted, and he was chased and beaten by Tian Zongyun for a while, and finally failed, which is really a good thing.

"Hahaha! Although the people are not stupid, they really can't be educated with the words of a saint!"

The scholar was flushed, and he didn't know how to answer, when everyone upstairs suddenly heard a burst of laughter from downstairs. The voice came very quickly, it was still downstairs at first, and before the laughter landed, the human voice had reached the second floor.

Dressed in a Confucian shirt, he carried a long knife at his waist and had a sneer on his face. rushed from downstairs to upstairs, and it was Xu Qi who was blocking the staircase.

"Who's the madman?!There are no rules!"

A Confucian student standing beside Tian Zongyun let out a clear drink, folded the fan in his hand in his palm, and used the folding fan as a sword to face Xu Qi.

This Confucian scholar also had the intention to show his means, and dozens of seal characters made of white gas were around the folding fan, and when he rushed towards Xu Qi, there was even more agitation of white gas on his body.

Confucian cultivation is different from that of the Immortal School, and Confucian righteousness cannot refine the acupoints, but it has the same combat power. This Confucian student's heroic and righteous cultivation has reached the realm of the summit.

This Confucian was born in the Guozijian like Tian Zongyun, although he is not a popular figure in the Guozijian, but he has a great sense of superiority in the face of the Confucian students outside the Guozijian. He had the intention to knock this crazy student who spoke wild words and had no rules down to the second floor, and also let the scholars outside the Guozijian downstairs understand the power of the Guozijian Middle School.

Xu Qi was really impatient to listen to Tian Zongyun's words, this Tian Zongyun's reasoning seems to be a bit interesting, but it is simply a truth like using sophistry to wrap shit, which is really not worth arguing. But what this scholar just said was quite much Xu Qi's thoughts, and he naturally wanted to help this scholar.

As soon as he stood on the second floor, he saw the Confucian rush over.

Xu Qi didn't dodge, he let out a long laugh and shouted, "It's good to come!", the thunder and fire in his body turned, stimulating the power of the trick where the giant spirit god general was, and raised his fist to meet it.

In terms of realm, Xu Qi has not opened up all the points in his body now, and the second level is not complete. But in terms of combat power, there are so many means to be around, even if it is a monk who has achieved cultivation in the Ding Realm, Xu Qi will dare to fight.

The fist hit the folding fan, which was like a devastating one, shattering the folding fan wrapped in righteousness, and hitting the palm of the Confucian student.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the Confucian arm that rushed towards Xu Qi twisted, and flew out upside down at a faster speed, seeing that he was about to smash the window and fly out of the beam building.

When there was no room for it, Tian Zongyun, who was sitting upright, flashed, and the latter came first, blocking the upside-down flight of the Confucian student and stopping him.

Bowing his hand to Xu Qiyi from afar, Tian Zongyun said in a calm tone: "Brother Tai wants to kill people in the capital, aren't you afraid of the heavy soldiers of the imperial court? Fortunately, he stopped him and let Brother Tai's attempt to kill people succeed, and he escaped the death penalty for Brother Tai." ”

The implication is that there is no escaping the crime.
