Chapter 18: Molting
The people then made an uproar, and Xia Mo said to Li Daochun a little anxiously: "Asking such a question, isn't that intentionally trying to embarrass Mr. Tian Zaiyuan?" ”
Li Daochun was also a little anxious, but he still calmed down and said to Xia Mo: "Let's listen to what Mr. Tian Zaiyuan has to say first." ”
On the stage, Tian Zaiyuan looked calm and relaxed: "This kid asked a good question, let's not talk about these foreign ways first." Let's start with something that has nothing to do with the outside world. ”
"Say what?" Tian Zaiyuan looked around, looked at the ground again, saw his feet, and said, "Let's talk about my old homespun shoes first." I wore these shoes for a year, and the soles of my feet were worn out of holes, and I went to a shoemaker to repair them the other day. ”
Tian Zaiyuan said and took off his shoes, showed the broken and mended soles to the Confucian scholars, and then put them back on.
"A man has to walk a long way. Or a dangerous road, a night road. He had to have a pair of shoes that fit well, and sturdy shoes, so that his heart would feel steady. I wonder what kind of shoes everyone is wearing, so I might as well hold them up and show me. ”
The Confucian scholars raised their shoes one after another, "Boots!" "Boots." "Boots." Keep talking.
"I've seen eighty or ninety percent of them, and they're all boots. What kind of shoes are boots? It is a foreign thing, I am based on agriculture in the east, so it is forbidden to slaughter cattle, we rarely use cowhide to make boots, just now this Confucian said that we Dongsheng Shenzhou people should not learn foreign ways. Then why do you still wear leather boots? ”
"That's right," Li Daochun said to Xia Mo with a smile on his face, "Mr. Tian asked well." ”
Tian Zaiyuan said: "It's not for anything else, it's just that cowhide is stronger than cloth and easier to walk." In Dongsheng Shenzhou, in Weiyang, you are walking on the dirt road of Dongtu. Can we try to make such a determination? Wearing cowhide boots, he walked out of a new way on the dirt road of Dongsheng Shenzhou. has embarked on a road that can allow the people of Dongsheng Shenzhou to gain peace. We can drive the people who bullied us out of the road of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and we can make the Five Elements Sect and corrupt officials step down. Isn't it a good way to use the so-called outer way for me? ”
When the Confucian scholars heard this, the atmosphere began to become warm, and their faces were full of excitement.
Tian Zaiyuan said again: "Don't we approve of such a good road?" And we should be in favor of it with both hands. ”
"Yes, yes," the Confucian scholars clapped their hands enthusiastically.
Li Daochun stood up and said loudly: "What Mr. Tian said is good, good." ”
There was a grim face in the crowd, even with some nervousness and uneasiness looking at the boiling crowd around him, and he looked around left and right with a certain frightened expression on his face.
Tian Zaiyuan said again: "The sound of everyone's applause is like the drums of war advancing, and as soon as the drums of war sound, we should march." The path we are on is the path of the Fire Spirit Dharma. It is the most promising road in the whole world, our northern Juluzhou, the fire spirit road is flourishing in the world, everyone in the church is brothers and sisters, the ideal road, Shunda forward, the world is public, everyone is equal. Selecting talents, honesty and harmony, within the four seas, are all relatives and friends...... This is the Fire Spirit Path. ”
The Confucian scholars shouted in unison, "Okay." ”
Tian Zaiyuan said again: "The foreign countries have inflicted wars on me many times, and they have come to invade my land, kill my people, seize my land, plunder my wealth, and insult my women. Every conscientious scholar, every heartbroken person of insight, is struggling to find a way to liberation, but how do today's officials answer us? Bayonets, bayonets, bayonets! We love the people, they harm the people, we want to save our land, they want to sell our land. ”
"Today's Dongsheng Shenzhou, the common people are groaning, the young people are bleeding, the land is falling, the mountains and rivers are broken, if we don't give up the old Confucianism, and don't change the new learning of the Fire Spirit Rectification to save the land and save the people, then we will be ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, and ashamed of future generations. This is the path to liberation for my land and my people. ”
There was another round of applause and cheers from the crowd.
At this time, the frightened face came out of the crowd, and he said, "Mr. Tian, I'm sorry for you," and all of a sudden, the eyes of the audience were focused on this person, there were suspicions, doubts, and whispers, but this person did not flinch, he walked forward. Facing Tian Zaiyuan, he walked over and said, "I, I was sent by the Five Elements Sect Alliance to monitor you, and today I woke up after listening to Mr.'s words, I also want to be a person." I'm never going to be someone else's eagle dog again! After saying that, he bowed, bowed again to the Confucian scholars around him, and turned to leave.
As the man left, everyone's eyes turned back to the direction where Tian Zaiyuan was, and Tian Zaiyuan said, "Great, I am very touched by this young man's behavior. The rise of our generation and the awakening of our land depend on the consciousness of your young people. ”
The crowd cheered again, but Li Daochun, although he was clapping his hands, did not shout, he gritted his teeth and looked determined, as if he had made up some kind of determination.
After the speech, there were still a small number of people who were reluctant to leave, they surrounded Tian Zaiyuan, Tian Zaiyuan picked up the clothes that he took off, patted them and said: "Trees are going to molt, and people have to molt too." Gone to the old and broken, like a snake, molting and renewing. You have never achieved a good name, that is, to be enlightened. ”
Li Daochun said: "The process of enlightenment is the process of molting. ”
Tian Zaiyuan said: "In particular, you young people should pay attention to the new birth of detoxification in thought, and I suggest that from now on, you should study more of the Fire Spirit Fa. ”
Li Daochun said: "What does Mr. mean that the old school can't save people, so we can only change Confucianism and Taoism?" ”
Tian Zaiyuan nodded with a smile and said, "You can say that." ”
Xia Mo said: "And I don't think so, if there is no Fire Spirit Fa-rectification, it is useless to read those old books, if it is useful, why should we be insulted by the outer way?" ”
Tian Zaiyuan seemed a little surprised that the thin woman in front of him could say such firm words, so he approvingly: "You can also say the same." ”
Li Daochun said: "I don't think we should send a call internally for everyone to practice the Fire Spirit Fa. ”
Ma Jun slapped his thigh and stood up when he heard this, and said, "Let's make a call together, right?" Jiazi. ”
Xia Mo's words turned to Li Daochun and said, "Yes, Wu Chen." ”
Wuling Star City
Shangguan Hu, the overseer and governor of Wuling, was sitting in a black carriage and asked, "What did you say, what is the name of this book written by Niu Ba?" ”
Yuwen, a close confidant, replied: "Hunan wants to report it." ”
Shangguan Hu said again: "You immediately bring someone to kill him for me." ”
Zhi Yuwen asked, "Let me go?" ”
