Chapter Seventy-One: Lectures at the Inn

The Confucian student, who had a more intense temperament, asked directly: "As a demon clan, the demon venerable worships in the Confucian sect, but he wants to bow to the immortal dao, do you want to join forces with the immortal dao?"

Among Confucianism, the attitude towards immortals can be divided into two factions, one is to fight, and the other is to want peace. Most of these Confucian scholars have no good impression of the Immortal Sect and want to fight with the Immortal Dao.

Xu Qi said those words, which immediately made many Confucian students feel that he had the intention of cooperating with the Immortal Sect.

Looking at the Confucian students who were a little emotionally unstable, Xu Qi shook his head and said: "This seat is just talking about the practice of learning the Immortal Dao, and the matter of joining forces with the Immortal Dao, I will not mention it." ”

"A few days ago, on the Winding Beam Tower, this seat once said that the people are not stupid, but they cannot be taught by the words of saints. Although the words of the sages can teach the same gentlemen as you, they cannot be implemented, and it is really undesirable to convince the people with a light and fluttering truth. ”

Looking at the Confucian scholars with different expressions, Xu Qidao: "Among you, I don't know if you have ever tried to educate the people with the words of Confucian sages? What is the attitude of the people when they are confronted with the Confucian teachings you mentioned? ”

These words fell into the ears of Confucian scholars, and many Confucian scholars sighed secretly. Among these Confucian scholars, there are really many people who want to do something to educate the people and make them believe in the righteous path of Confucianism. It's just that the truth has been said thousands of times, but the people don't like to listen to it, and it has no effect at all.

Those who are willing to listen to Xu Qi talk about his ideas are not useless scholars who hold poetry and books and hide in the study and can only chant poems and paint. With the idea of helping the people in peace, he naturally wants to do something.

It's just that I did things with the concept of Confucianism, only to find that I hit walls everywhere and are useless everywhere. The Confucian classics are all good words, but when doing things, they can't find a place to use them.

It is precisely because of this that after listening to the debate between Chu Zhou and the Confucians, these Confucian scholars who have the heart of peace and help the people in their hearts, but lack practical practices, will be so eager.

"On the other hand, the Immortal Dao, is there anything that can fit the concept of the people? The Immortal Dao is about achieving true immortals, immortality, and paying attention to the understanding of the roots, not just anyone can cultivate the Tao, let alone any monk can live forever. ”

"If the Immortal Dao uses its own ideas to educate the people, can the Immortal Dao still win the hearts of the people so much, and be so prosperous? Whether it is giving charms or spells, catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits, what Xiandao does for the people is the thing that can directly benefit the people. ”

"Confucianism wants to use the truth to educate the people, but they forget that what the people want is a full mouthful of food, which is their vital interests, not a fluttering truth. If you don't have enough to eat, and you can't guarantee your own safety, what's the use of listening to these truths?"

"So,"

Xu Qi looked at the thoughtful Confucian scholars with his hands in his hand, and once again gave his opinion: "If you want to help the people in peace, you really have to learn the means of learning immortals, put aside the light and fluttering truth, and let the people get tangible benefits." The people can get benefits, and naturally believe in Confucianism, and while helping the world and the people, Confucianism will naturally be prosperous. ”

This is exactly what I am talking about. If we focus on Confucianism, we must pay attention to the concept of Confucianism, and it is really difficult to help the world and the people. However, if we put aside empty talk and do things for the people, we can not only help the people in peace, but also magnify Confucianism. ”

......

From the bright sun to the twilight, Xu Qi stood in the lobby of the inn and told these Confucian students who had passion but no direction in their hearts about the "law of helping the world and reassuring the people" that they wanted most. It is not easy to take out the mind of destroying the immortal Dao, and Xu Qi is only discussing with the Confucian scholars how to implement the matter of "doing practical things for the people".

If you just talk about your own ideas and analyze the reasoning, it won't take you so long. It's just that these Confucian scholars have many questions and many incomprehensible points, and once they are raised, Xu Qi will spend a lot of time clarifying their doubts.

The twilight was four, and the meal was early, but the Confucian scholars were still unsatisfied and didn't want to leave. Xu Qi didn't say anything big, but just analyzed what the people thought in their hearts, pointed out what the people wanted to achieve, and how to do things.

Because of time constraints, this Mr. Jiuyang said a lot about the first two points, but did not mention too much about "how to do things". Looking at this Mr. Jiuyang's eloquent posture, he must have prepared in his heart.

There are many Confucian scholars who have explored on their own, but they have never found a feasible path. In the encounter, I vaguely understood some truths, but I never thought about it so thoroughly. Listening to Mr. Jiuyang's words today, Confucianism has made some attempts before, and immediately has a sense of seeing the sun, and the truth that he thought of but didn't understand when he hit the wall before is no longer vague at this moment, and it is quite open.

This insight, which is not limited to the classics, but is full of Confucianism's concept of "Ze is the people", is really difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Mr. Jiuyang, he really deserves to be the personal disciple of the great Confucian King Mingshi!

The more this is the case, the more the Confucian students present want to hear how this Mr. Jiuyang, who does not like to talk about empty truths, will do things.

After listening to the concept told by Xu Qi, the Confucian scholars have quietly replaced the title of "Jiuyang Demon Venerable" with "Mr. Jiuyang" in their hearts.

Although Mr. Jiuyang was born in the demon clan, the concept in his heart is not biased at all. If it is called the Nine Yang Demon Venerable, these Confucian students also feel that it is inappropriate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's getting late, please come back. ”

Looking at the sky, Xu Qi was thinking about his own cultivation in his heart, and said to the Confucian students: "Let's come here first today." If you still want to listen, you can find a time when you have time to discuss with you. ”

The Confucian scholars really didn't want to leave just yet, but when Xu Qi spoke, the Confucian scholars couldn't be embarrassed. The Confucian scholars and Xu Qi parted ways and left the inn one after another.

"Brother Xu, please. ”

The Confucian students left, and Chu Zhou on the side poured a cup of tea for Xu Qi and sent it.

Drinking tea, Chu Zhou asked, "Does Brother Xu still want to give a lecture tomorrow?"

"Lectures? ”

Xu Qi shook his head, he really didn't think he was good enough to go to the level of "lecturing".

Chu Zhou said with a straight face: "Why should Brother Xu be arrogant? Today's weather, even if a Confucian master lectures on the classics, it is only like this at most. Brother Xu's truth is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he can see the clouds and see the sun, pointing directly to the heel of things, and the word 'lecturing' is the beginning of Brother Xu. ”

Xu Qi knew that Chu Zhou was an upright scholar, and he really couldn't do this kind of thing, and he couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it, and these words were what he thought in his heart.

Shaking his head, Xu Qi said: "Brother Chu is too famous, I just look at things from a slightly different angle from ordinary people." ”

"Mr. Jiuyang is really humble. ”

While the two were talking, the three Chiyangzi brothers on the side walked over. Chiyangzi arched his hand to Xu Qi, with a look of admiration: "I heard that Mr. Jiuyang worshiped under the Confucian Dazun Sect before, and Xiaodao still didn't believe it. Looking at it today, Xiaodao has no doubts in his heart. ”

Xu Qi arched his hand and said: "The head of the Chiyang Zi Dao can recognize what this seat thinks in his heart, and this seat is also very pleased. I just told the Confucian students what I was thinking, and I was delayed for some time, if the Taoist is okay at this time, I want to talk to the Taoist chief. ”

Chiyangzi arched his hand and said: "It's all up to Mr. Jiuyang." ”

The two of them sat down, Xu Qi looked at the three of Chiyangzi, and said with a smile: "Daoist Chiyangzi, this seat is giving you medicine, do you think this seat is buying people's hearts?"

This sentence made Chi Yangzi a little embarrassed, although he didn't have this idea, but Chi Xiazi had this idea before. Although Chixiazi doesn't have this mind now, this mind has been there after all, and it can't be denied.

Chiyangzi was about to make amends, but Xu Qi waved his hand and said, "To tell the truth, this seat is indeed trying to buy people's hearts. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chiyangzi didn't know what to say.

Even Chu Zhou had a different color, and he wanted to remind Xu Qi that the word "buying people's hearts" is not a good word in the world......

Seeing that the faces of the four of them were a little strange, Xu Qi smiled and said: "The head of the Chiyang Zidao is an immortal sect monk, but he can have ordinary people in his heart and have the same ambitions as this seat. It is precisely because of this that the dispute between the Taoist chief and the main seat is not taken to heart. It is not false to say that it is to buy people's hearts, and this seat also has the intention of using this incident to show the world its attitude. ”

"This matter of peace and prosperity can not be completed by this seat alone, and it is necessary to gather like-minded people from all over the world who have this heart in order to achieve something. In ancient times, there were thousands of dollars to buy horse bones, and today the Taoist chief is used as a horse bone, and the Taoist chief is asked not to be surprised. ”

Chiyangzi nodded and said, "Mr. Jiuyang speaks simply. Since Mr. Jiuyang is so simple, Xiaodao is also simply once. ”

"Xiaodao looked at Mr. Jiuyang's thoughts, and I really wanted to ask Mr. Jiuyang, what does Mr. Jiuyang want to do?"

Speaking of this, Chiyangzi stared at Xu Qi tightly, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Jiuyang has the heart of peace and prosperity, and Xiaodao admires him." But if Mr. Jiuyang wants to do this, the immortal road is in front of Mr. Jiuyang. The people's belief is the basis for the great prosperity of the fairy road, Mr. Jiuyang wants to help the people in peace, but in fact, he is competing with the fairy road for the hearts of the people and for faith, how can the fairy road be willing to let go easily?"

"If the Immortal Sect is in front of Mr. Jiuyang, how should Mr. Jiuyang deal with it. ”

Chiyangzi is an immortal sect monk, and from Xu Qi's remarks today, he can see what the Confucian scholars have not seen. After a little pondering in his heart, Chiyangzi vaguely guessed the thoughts of this Jiuyang Demon Venerable.

If this Jiuyang Demon Venerable wants to complete what he wants in his heart, he must do one thing. But that thing is really crazy, I'm afraid that only the Jiuyang Demon Venerable, who challenged the true immortal in his previous life, has such courage.

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Qi stroked his palms and smiled: "Daoist Chiyangzi is really a happy person! In this case, this seat is also willing to share what he thinks in his heart. ”

As soon as he arched his hand, Xu Qi said: "If the immortal path follows the will of this seat and agrees with what this seat thinks, then it's okay." If you have to stand in front of this seat, this seat will destroy the immortal path!"
