Chapter 163: The Battle of Divine Concepts! Fang Ze's choice

Hearing this question, Zhao Shiyi sighed.

"Wen Yuanbo wants to get rid of the world's divine essence, it's not a day or two."

"This is a long story, Mr. Yuan, can you have the patience to listen?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Fang Zedao.

He really wants to figure out, why is Wen Yuanbo in this matter?

Obviously, Wen Yuanbo is also a master of Shenyun, why do you want to do things that are not good for yourself.

Zhao Shiyi said: "If you really want to answer your question, Mr. Yuan, you have to go back to many years ago, almost a year ago." ”

"Wen Yuanbo was born in a poor family, and he didn't have any special connections, he could get the opportunity to rise, which was appreciated by nobles...... It's just that this appreciation is also earned by himself. ”

At that time, Longkang's national teacher was called Xiao Ruoli, and he once proposed a famous 'Wang Li Shuangcun Debate' to the world's scholars, which caused heated discussions in the world. ”

"And Wen Yuanbo, it is precisely because of answering this 'Debate of Two Villages' that he has become Xiao Ruoli's disciple."

Fang Ze listened carefully.

He knew what it meant.

The so-called participation in the public eucalyptus is a way to put forward an example, let people express their opinions, see clearly, and open up wisdom.

The beginning of the conversation is the beginning of a word, and the head of the conversation is a practice method of Buddhism and Zen Buddhism, which pays attention to a sentence that is often asked in the heart, such as often asking, 'Who is the one who participates in Zen?' ’。

Such words are naturally not a simple answer of 'Zhang San, Li Si who participate in Zen', but have a deeper meaning.

Xiao Ruoli, a national teacher of the previous generation, proposed this 'debate between the two villages', which should essentially be a topic, from which some brainpower, opinions, and meaningful conclusions can be drawn.

Fang Ze asked, "What is the 'Wang Li Shuangcun Debate?'" ’”

Zhao Shiyi said: "It's also very simple, Xiao Ruoli proposed two imaginary villages, one is called Wang Village and the other is called Li Village. In Wang Village, all the people who live are surnamed Wang and are connected by blood, and the same is true of Li Village, all of them are surnamed Li, and they are all connected by blood. ”

"Right now, there is a shortage of water in both Wang and Li villages, and there is only one source of water...... There must not be enough water, either enough for Wang Village or enough for Li Village. ”

"The two villages are facing the problem of water shortage, and it cannot be solved by external forces or compromises, the water will not increase, and it cannot be evenly distributed between Wang and Li villages, as long as all the water sources cannot be occupied, whether it is Wang Village or Li Village, people will definitely die of thirst, or people will starve to death due to lack of water in their crops."

"Wang, Li and Li will never accept the death of any villager in their own village because of lack of water."

"Xiao Ruoli's 'Debate between the Two Villages' raises the question here-what do you think of the two villages of Wang and Li? In your opinion, how to judge whether the water should be distributed to Wang Village or Li Village? ”

Fang Ze felt some interest.

This question is not only speculative, but also a very practical one.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in a heavy peasant society, and it can even be said to be a kind of reality in various places.

"There are indeed some things worth thinking about in this question, and there seem to be a lot of traps in it."

Fang Ze replied.

Zhao Shiyi said: "Yes, so after Xiao Ruoli put forward the defense of the two villages, he didn't get a satisfactory answer for ten years. ”

"The person who answered is nothing more than to solve this problem from the perspectives of character, morality, or how much to pay taxes from a realistic point, but after ten years, it is just a few ideas back and forth, which cannot satisfy Xiao Ruoli."

However, this problem was solved by Wen Yuanbo, who was seventeen years old at the time.

"Oh, what did he do?" Fang Ze asked.

He was curious because this 'two-village debate' was not so much a concrete solution as it was about the quality of one's thinking.

Different types of people will give different answers.

Since Wen Yuanbo was able to answer this question, and also made a solution that satisfied the previous generation of national teachers, his thinking must be different from ordinary people.

At the same time, the age of seventeen or eighteen is the most important period for a person's character and thinking maturity, and the thoughts of this period will affect a person's life.

Fang Ze was also curious about why Wen Yuanbo was so obsessed and wanted to destroy the world's divine essence.

This may be answered from Wen Yuanbo's answer to the 'Debate of the Two Villages' at that time.

Zhao Shiyi said: "Wen Yuanbo's answer is that the 'Twin Villages Debate' seems to mention the problem of water shortage, but in fact it has nothing to do with water, and its essence is a matter of imperial authority. ”

"He thinks so?" Fang Ze was a little surprised.

"How did this connect?" Fang Ze asked.

Zhao Shiyi smiled bitterly and said, "This has to be said that Wen Yuanbo's thinking is indeed different from ordinary people...... That's how he views the 'Twin Villages Debate'. ”

"Wen Yuanbo believes that the two villages of Wang and Li, their existence, there is no need to think about it, just need to consider one issue, these two villages, if they have to fight for water, this matter needs to be decided, whether the water will be given to Wang Village or Li Village."

"Who is the one who decides?"

"It's the township chief."

"If the township chief rulings and some people are not satisfied, then if you continue to go up, you must find the county honor, and the county will rule, and if there is a village that is not satisfied, you must find the county guard...... In this way, as long as you look up level by level, you will eventually find a person who will make the final decision. ”

"This person will give the final decision."

"And this final decision, whether it is for Wang Cun or Li Village, it doesn't matter if it's correct at all, the important thing is that the final decision-maker has the supreme authority, saying that whoever the water is given to is to whom, no question is right or wrong, no reason."

"Don't ask whether it's right or wrong, don't ask for reasons?" Fang Ze raised his eyebrows.

"That's what Wen Yuanbo thinks, and he has his reasons." Zhao Shiyi said.

"Wen Yuanbo's truth is that many things in the world can't distinguish black and white at all, do you say that Wang Cun is wrong, or Li Cun is wrong? But there must be a ruling, arbitrarily decided, and a final verdict must be given. ”

"Without this dictatorial person, the affairs of the world would be chaotic...... Wang Village and Li Village, if they get the verdict, it may be that one village dies of thirst, but if there is no verdict, then the biggest possibility for these two villages is that no one can survive because they are fighting for water. ”

"This is still a matter of two villages, if it is put into the world, without supreme power, the world will inevitably be in chaos."

"This is Wen Yuanbo's thinking, what he cares about is whether there needs to be a supreme power to adjudicate the Qiankun, not the specific water to Wang Village, or Li Village."

"And according to the etiquette, this person is the emperor."

Fang Ze digested for a moment.

Although it still sounds a little strange and different from the way of thinking of ordinary people, it cannot be said that it is unreasonable.

I have to say that Wen Yuanbo's idea of solving this problem is much higher than that of people who only entangle water to Wang Village or Li Village.

Moreover, Fang Ze also began to understand a little why Wen Yuanbo wanted to destroy the world's divine essence.

He said, "I have a general understanding...... Wen Yuanbo believes that the existence of the master of Shenyun threatens the imperial power. ”

"It's still this Wang Village, Li Village's fight for water, the emperor decided that the water to Wang Village, although it may not be fair, but there is a conclusion, and this matter is settled."

"But now a master of Shenyun came out and said that the water should be given to Li Village, and if he didn't give it, he would kill the emperor, and the emperor didn't dare to disobey...... This ultimate discretionary power fell from the hands of the emperor to the hands of the master of Shenyun. ”

"But this is the solution?" Fang Ze asked.

"That's exactly what happened." Zhao Shiyi nodded.

He shook his head and sighed, and said: "Wen Yuanbo was appreciated because he solved the 'Debate of the Two Villages', and the national teacher Xiao Ruoli at that time made an exception to accept apprentices, and Wen Yuanbo ascended from a poor disciple to the sky in one step. ”

"This 'supreme power belongs to the imperial power' has also become his lifelong wish."

"In Wen Yuanbo's concept, the imperial power of the world should be the supreme power, and the existence of the master of Shenyun threatens this supreme power, so it should not exist in his ideal picture of the world."

"So Wen Yuanbo spared no effort and always wanted to get rid of the world's divine ......"

Fang Ze also understood why Wen Yuanbo was so persistent.

"This is the concept that Wen Yuanbo has been implementing since he was seventeen or eighteen years old, maybe earlier, and he has been doing it all this time so far."

"I can't say he's unreasonable."

"At this point, it's a pure battle of ideas."

Fang Ze said.

Zhao Shiyi nodded.

"I can understand Wen Yuanbo's thoughts, but I also have my insistence."

"Taiyi Dao martial arts are one, without any aspect it is not a complete inheritance, and Taiyi Dao has been passed on to my generation, it is already one hundred and twenty-seven generations, I can't pass thousands of years of inheritance in my hands, right?"

"I am Shenyun, and my future disciple will also achieve Shenyun."

"Therefore, Wen Yuanbo wants to destroy the world's divine essence, I definitely disagree." Trillion Master Yi Dao.

After a pause, Zhao Shiyi said: "This topic can be turned back again, Mr. Yuan, I explained Wen Yuanbo's concept to you, you should know." ”

"As long as you are also a Shenyun, you will definitely be regarded as an opponent by Wen Yuanbo, and now he is not moving because it is not yet time, and when the time comes, he will definitely do something to you."

"So I advise you not to get too close to Wen Yuanbo."

Fang Ze listened and was noncommittal.

He thought about it more.

Fang Ze actually understood Wen Yuanbo a little.

Because he empathizes.

"Isn't this debate between the two villages that Wen Yuan explained the current situation of the Tianzhou Realm?"

Isn't it?

The current situation in the Heavenly Continent Realm is that there is no absolute supreme power.

Although the Great Zhou had a court, the imperial Zhao family, including Emperor Zhou, did not have absolute authority.

The power of the world is divided.

The Great Zhou court wants to take back the power, but can it be recovered?

The sects are separated, the martial arts family and the court are deeply bound, you have me, I have you.

If you move a little, you want to take power, and you will immediately make all kinds of constraints.

I really want to launch a thunderous blow to forcibly take power, but there are still people in the world who are masters of law, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty does not dare to act rashly.

Fang Ze suddenly felt that the Shenyun rivers and lakes of the Longkang Realm were almost the epitome of the current situation in the Tianzhou Realm.

Of course, although the Heavenly Continent Realm is like this, it is not completely chaotic, and it still maintains a dynamic balance.

Looking at the evolution of things on Long Kang's side, it has great reference significance for understanding the rivers and lakes of the Tianzhou Realm.

Fang Ze found that the Shenyun master who stood at the peak of the martial arts on the side of the Longkang Realm, the problems he considered and the interests he fought for were no longer simple ordinary interests.

It's not that there are no interests, but above the interests, there is also a conflict of ideas.

Gu Zan thought that Wu Bo Man wanted to enter the world, Xie Yan and Fan Qianhong wanted to make the Demon Gate the orthodoxy of the world, Wen Yuanbo wanted the supremacy of imperial power, and Zhao Shiyi wanted to keep the inheritance of Taiyi Dao.

Actually, it's easy to understand.

The Divine Yun masters of the Longkang Realm, although according to Fang Ze's knowledge, the absolute strength level has not yet reached the Heavenly and Human Realm, but in this world, they are already the group of people who stand at the top of this realm.

If you insist on conversion, the master of Shenyun is in the Longkang realm, just like the master of the law in the Tianzhou realm.

At this level, luxury enjoyment is available to them at any time, but for people at this level, general enjoyment is no longer very attractive.

Whether it is Gu Zan, Wen Yuanbo, or Xie Yan, what they want is to implement their own will and ideas.

Fang Ze had an understanding for a while.

From Long Kang, he seemed to see the familiar rivers and lakes of the Tianzhou Realm again, and for a while, the behavior of the great masters of the Heavenly and Human Realms, the masters of the Law Minister, who didn't understand it before, could also be understood.

"The foundation is still interests, but there are also ideas and road disputes based on interests." Fang Ze thought.

He felt that through his experience in the Longkang Realm, he looked at the rivers and lakes of the Tianzhou Realm in turn, and the angle, level, or pattern, had risen a little.

Fang Ze exhaled deeply, calmed his thoughts, and pulled back to the present.

He said, "I understand what you mean, Master Zhaotian. ”

"But, Xie Yan, I still want to kill."

Zhao Shiyi couldn't help frowning.

"Why is Mr. Yuan so persistent? Killing Xie Yan may not be a good thing for you. ”

"I'll do it."

"I believe that Mr. Yuan has the strength to kill Xie Yan, but once Xie Yan dies, Fan Qianhong will be unable to threaten the emperor alone, and Wen Yuanbo will completely free his hands and no longer need to protect the capital."

"At that time, Wen Yuanbo would definitely target me."

"Fan Qianhong's whereabouts are erratic, Mr. Yuan's strength is too strong, Master Jueyuan is a real master, he doesn't participate in the world's disputes, only the old Taoist and I have a bunch of disciples and grandchildren, and I can't run away with Lingkong Mountain, Wen Yuanbo will definitely find me."

When Zhao Shiyi said this, he couldn't help but look serious.

He continued:

"If I die or the martial arts are abolished, Wen Yuanbo has more space, he has two choices next, either to concentrate and find out Fan Qianhong first, or, or he will directly deal with you, Mr. Yuan."

"He'll pick the one that's easier to succeed, it's just a matter of order, but sooner or later he'll point the finger at you."

"In the end, Wen Yuanbo got rid of Fan Qianhong and you, Master Jueyuan is a figure of our previous generation, Shouyuan has only a few years left, and when Jueyuan sits down, Wen Yuanbo will be left alone in the world."

"Wen Yuanbo retired at that time, and lived in seclusion in the rivers and lakes, and there would be no gods in the world - he won this road battle."

"Is Mr. Yuan willing?"

Fang Ze nodded slightly.

At this time, he already knew why Zhaoshi Yi was going to end.

Li Fangweng was actually right before, Zhao Shiyi hopes that the world will maintain a balanced situation, not necessarily because interests are paramount, but probably because of security considerations.

Now Zhao Shiyi's words have made the matter clear.

His purpose is to protect himself.

"Zhaotian Master, your analysis is correct, but there is only one point."

"Zhaotian Master, your analysis did not fully consider my position."

"I have another deduction and choice, would you like to hear it?" Fang Ze asked.
