Chapter 316: Mandate of Heaven

Guiguzi's words made Ying Chengcheng have a sense of detachment, if you believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it, this sentence is still very marketable after 2,000 years.

"If the heavens really exist, my wax sacrifice will be loud against the sky, and there will be life today?"

"What is the work of the king's flesh and mortal womb to be able to crack bricks and stones? Martial arts also. Where does martial arts come from, and it is a gift from heaven. Li Er's words are full of the true meaning of heaven and earth - heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs. The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Between heaven and earth, is it still a sword? Void but unyielding, moving and getting more and more. ”

It is a blast instrument used to make fire and strike iron in ancient times.

Gong is a pipe used to make fire and blow wind in ancient times.

"The prince said that the more I said, the more confused I became, Lao Tzu's words are the Tao of nature, with heaven and earth, the saint metaphor, to people to do it in accordance with the law of nature. Why does it seem to have some other intentions in the mouth of the prince? ”

Guiguzi sighed twice, a little surprised that Ying Chengzi could say such a thing.

"Lear once said, 'My words are easy to know and easy to do.' He has long told the world that what he says is easy to know and easy to achieve. However, people in the world prefer to understand from a high depth, and even the king is not exempt from vulgarity. ”

Ying Chengcheng reached into his arms, made a gesture of a gun, and threatened:

"The prince had better speak well, don't mock me, I'm not as big as a sewing needle hole."

Guiguzi retracted it when he saw it, took away the expression on his face, and explained:

"Li Er and Confucius met, one founded Taoism and the other founded Confucianism, both of whom were learned and wise. However, the two works are not profound, they are for the purpose of spreading their own thoughts, not for the sake of making a fuss. This can be seen from the "Analects" that recorded the words and deeds of Confucius, and the whole text is easy to understand, and literate children can understand it.

"The Tao Te Ching is like the Analects, the whole text is simple words, and you must not look at it deeply.

"Heaven and earth, saints, all exist, and they look at everything in the world, without distinguishing between good and evil, good and bad. Everything in the world is a gift from heaven and earth, and man is like a basket in it, doing things that blow the wind to make fire. The wind will not stop, it will only be slightly smaller, and the faster the wind comes out when the action is violent, the bigger it is. ”

This interpretation is the first time Ying Chengcheng has heard of it, and none of the Taoist doctors in the doctor's office have explained it this way.

At this time, although the Qin Dynasty Doctor Department was a powerful person seeking personal gain, there were also many people with advanced questions in hundreds of middle schools.

Later generations wanted Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to establish the prince who did not change the prince, and established the second emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying's Shangshan Sihao - Dongyuan Gong Tang Bing, Xia Huang Gong Cui Guang, Qili Ji Wu Shi, and Mr. Lu Li Zhou Shu was appointed as a doctor of Taoism.

Ying Chengcheng had heard these four famous Dao in history tell the chapter of "Tao Te Ching", which is similar to what he said before, and it is definitely not what Guiguzi is saying now.

has always been suspicious of Guiguzi, and carefully beware of Ying Cheng, who did not dare to give full faith, and said half-convinced:

"When the prince said this, we all work for heaven and earth?"

Guiguzi bowed his head.

"Yes, yes. No matter what we do, we will not expect it. The king's martial arts have been gifted by heaven and earth, and he will eventually return to heaven and earth. No matter the vicissitudes of the world, unpredictable, heaven and earth do not increase or decrease, there is no difference. ”

Sighing lightly, the old man's eyes revealed a trace of vicissitudes.

Li Er rode the green ox west, ignoring the world, and no longer passing on knowledge, probably because he understood this matter and became disheartened. No matter how good the world is, it can last for a hundred years, a thousand years, and ten thousand years. But after 100,000 years, everything starts all over again.

"People are only chosen for heaven and earth in this great world, and in the next life, the spirit of heaven and earth will no longer be human, and the world can still be called the world? Everything in the world is not far from the direction of the sky, and everything in the world is changing and has nothing to do with the sky. ”

Ying Cheng rubbed his temples, and his skull hurt a little.

[Given by heaven and earth, it will eventually be returned to heaven and earth, and heaven and earth will not increase or decrease, isn't this the law of conservation of energy?] ]

[Man was only chosen by heaven and earth in this great world, with this level of technology, how did this old man know about the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs dominated the earth?] Lao Tzu rode the green ox west to understand the meaninglessness of life? So Lao Tzu is actually a philosopher? ]

"Did you understand the words of Zen?"

Guiguzi was surprised.

[I am one hundred and twenty years old, my wife and children, relatives and friends are gone, and there is no one who is still familiar with heaven and earth, and I am the only one left. Raising his eyes and looking around, he was full of confusion, and when everything was in ashes, he knew Li Er's true intentions. ]

[When the monarch is in the prime of life, he is full of spirit, and his relatives and friends are afraid, although he has read through a hundred schools of thought and knows the knowledge of the sons, it is not surprising that he can understand the Tao Te Ching when he listens to me. ]

[But how do you understand my subsequent feelings?] The king has not lived for hundreds of years, and he has the pain of losing his wife and sending his son to bury his friends, which is not possible! ]

"Almost."

Ying Cheng, who was rubbing his head with his eyes closed, didn't see Guiguzi's face, and answered casually.

From Guiguzi's words, he consciously finally understood Guiguzi's state of mind, why Guiguzi didn't seem to care about everything.

Inferior in character such as Marxism-Leninism is willing to be accepted as a disciple, Pang Juan, and Sun Bin compete with each other, ignore it and wait to watch.

"You think of yourself as heavenly, right? Everything in the world will be taken back by heaven sooner or later in your eyes, so you don't care who lives and who dies, which country rises and which country perishes, there are no more nostalgic people or things in the world. ”

Wang Chan was stunned for a moment, and his original surprise turned into disbelief.

He has seen many geniuses, Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Le Yi, Su Qin, Zhang Yi.

He has also seen people who have seen through his state of mind, such as Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li, who buried Xi Shi and gave him all his wealth, and Mozi Mo Zhai, who saw through the trend of heaven and earth like him and still wanted the world to become better.

But he has never seen such a person as Ying Chengcheng, and he can understand the genius. For hundreds of years in the world, it is a lot of money to choose a genius out of 100,000 people.

But Ying Chengcheng is not an old man who has gone through the world and lived for a hundred years like Fan Li. It is not to sacrifice himself, but to save Mozi who has great love.

How can you see through his state of mind? This is not something that only makes sense in heaven.

"I have seen many sons, many geniuses, and many strange people, and I still can't understand the king. If I didn't know that the king didn't believe in heaven, I would think that the king was the embodiment of heaven. ”

Ying Chengcheng didn't know what Guiguzi was thinking, and he didn't know how this evaluation came about, but from Guiguzi's words, he thought that he had crossed over, and opened his eyes and said:

"Oh, maybe I came to this world because of what you said God did."

It was originally said casually, but when he saw Guiguzi, he nodded heavily, and said clearly:

"I see, the king has the mandate of heaven."

The corners of Ying Cheng's mouth twitched.

[Can this also be bluffed?] Is there any mental illness, I should take you to Old Man Xia before leaving Xianyang. ]

"Sometimes I really don't know if you're bluffing me, or if you're really stupid, but it's stupid."

Ying Cheng sneered and pointed to his face.

"Am I still a man of destiny? I'm going to go against God! And didn't you just say that heaven and earth regard all things as dogs? ”

Ying Chengcheng originally wanted to use the Mandate of Heaven to deceive Guiguzi at this time, but this idea dissipated as soon as it arose.

He thinks that a person with advanced knowledge like Guiguzi, even if he is really deceived by him at this time and leaves the hall, he can react immediately.

Instead of leaving a bad impression in Guiguzi's heart, it is better to be open and honest.

"Heaven and earth in the Tao Te Ching are the heaven and earth understood by Li Er, not the true heaven and earth. The will of heaven is unpredictable, the heart of heaven is difficult to peep, and the destiny of heaven falls on the body of the king, perhaps it is the heaven that wants to hide his body, so he wants the king to be the king. ”

Looking at Guiguzi, an old man who usually laughed and scolded, and was very active, he was unprecedentedly serious, and Ying Cheng laughed dryly.

"It's good if you're happy."

[This is your self-strategy, and it has nothing to do with Naigong......]

stretched his waist, and knew the heavenly Yingcheng from Guiguzi's mouth, and completely relieved his heart.

Whether it is according to Guiguzi's interpretation of the "Tao Te Ching", or the Mandate of Heaven in his opinion, the existence of heaven that cannot be determined or not has no impact on Yingcheng's creation.

The former is like the law of nature, looking at everything like a dog with a straw, too lazy to take care of it. If it is the latter, Ying Chengcheng plans to lead a thousand cavalry to charge hundreds of thousands of Hu people, and see if there can be a wave of meteorites falling from the sky.

"Since Naigong is a man of destiny, then Han Di will bother the prince to deal with it. In order for the prince to see the new world as soon as possible, please don't be lazy and work hard. ”

"Why is your lord in such a happy mood?"

Guiguzi frowned, his eyes full of incomprehension again.

"Why can't I be happy?"

"The king knows that everything is nothing, and what he does is not what heaven and earth expected, but it is useless in heaven and earth. At this time, it should be like Zen, looking at everything in the world without emotion, how can it seem that it is still full of longing for the world? ”

Ying Cheng Chong beckoned and went out with Qiang.

"Maybe it's because my realm is not as high as the prince, I haven't understood it yet. The prince has realized his self-worth, and the need should be counted as the sixth level. ”

Guiguzi, who claimed to be old and frail, was like a rabbit at this moment, and his speed was faster than that of Qin Bing, who was known as the tiger and wolf, and he stopped in front of Ying Chengzi, his eyes were full of longing.

"Please advise! Zen, trapped for a long time, does not want to wait for death. ”

Ying Cheng Chan said his thoughts in front of Guiguzi, and Guiguzi was sure that Ying Cheng Chan had already understood it.

In the past, Guiguzi was also like Ying Cheng, high-spirited and interested in everything, but since he knew the true meaning of heaven and earth, he no longer had that kind of state of mind.

It's a matter of age, and it's a matter of cognition. No matter how long the old farmer has worked hard all his life, he will not have such an idea as Guiguzi. The curse of knowledge can only be broken with knowledge.

Guiguzi, who knows all the sons, knows hundreds of schools, and knows all the ways, also wants to be like Yingcheng, full of interest in life.

Truly alive.

Instead of waiting to die.

[Well, because I'm not old enough, it's better that I haven't seen it, I haven't eaten it, I haven't played it, it's not like you've experienced everything......]

Ying Chengcheng wanted to say this, but seeing that Guiguzi was full of hope, as if grasping the last life-saving straw, he swallowed the words back.

Guiguzi, who has read all the books in this era, could never have imagined that Ying Chengcheng could understand his words not because of his state of mind.

Purely because the predecessors planted trees, the descendants took advantage of the shade, and read many philosophical books.

Scratching his head, Ying Chengcheng grabbed the old man's shoulders and said very seriously:

Romain Rolland said: There is only one kind of heroism in the world, that is, to see the truth of life and still love life. A great man said: There is endless joy in struggling with the sky, endless joy in struggling with the earth, and endless joy in struggling with people. These two sentences are encouraged by you. ”

Guiguzi is like a thousand-year-old zombie, standing still.

After Ying Cheng Cheng and Qiang left, he didn't move a step for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but the old man slowly sat on the ground. Fingers pinch the time for half a cup of tea, close your eyes, and sit quietly until dawn.

…………

"The trip to Yingdu, you are not allowed to go!"

Inside the unremarkably unremarkable house, the bedding on the bed is woven with silk that only the aristocracy can use, and the head of the bed is made of mahogany and embroidered with a lifelike phoenix bird.

The chubby Xiang Liang stood in the middle of the house outside the ruined and golden jade, with a few pieces of wood chips falling on the upper of his shoes, and severely reprimanded his nephew in front of him.

His nephew is eight feet tall and looks at least twenty years old. Looking down, I saw the heroic face full of childishness, but it was no more than twenty years old.

His bare arms were full of muscles, the wood in front of him, and the splinters of wood from his fists. It shows that these high bulges are not only shaped, but also have great power.

His surname Ji, Xiang's name, name name, character Yu, grandson of Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu State, is only fourteen years old.

Xiang Yu looked irritable, slammed his fists into a tiger's air, and there was a loud explosion in the air, crackling endlessly.

"Why! Although Yu is young, no one can beat him! ”

"Boy arrogance!"

Like a rich man, Xiang Liang, who was very good at talking, grabbed his nephew's arm, not worrying about being beaten at all.

He thought that he could hold his nephew's arm and hold it tightly, just like he did more than a month ago, so as to educate his nephew that he was not invincible in the world.

But unexpectedly, this probe grabbed his nephew's arm, but not only could he not stop his nephew's swinging, but he was almost picked up by his fourteen-year-old nephew.

That unimaginable force made Xiang Liang's heels off the ground, if it weren't for Xiang Yu's timely retraction, Xiang Liang would have to be a trapeze.

Xiang Yu, who showed his strength to his uncle, held his head high, and said to his uncle with his chin:

"How? Can Yu go to Ying? As the grandson of Xiang Yan, how can I not go to the capital of Great Chu to have a look! ”

Xiang Liang shook his arm while using internal force to calm the qi and blood in it, and his heart was full of horror.

Xiang Liang's own martial arts are not low, and those who can go south and north are not bad. I have also seen Zhao Gao, who is at the top of his martial arts, and knows what kind of situation his martial arts have reached.

The reason why he is so shocked is because his nephew Xiang Yu is not profound, and he does not have much internal strength. A fourteen-year-old child, in the face of the martial arts of water mill kung fu, no matter how talented he is, he can't reach the sky in one step.

It was able to get him to such a situation, and almost threw him up, relying on brute force!

Xiang Liang only saw hidden anger on his face, but no surprise, and said in a deep voice:

"No."

Xiang Yu is extremely angry.

"Uncle can do it, why can't Yu? Uncle can't beat Yu, Yu can already protect himself! ”

Xiang Liang drank sharply:

"I can die, you can't die! You are born with heavy pupils, it is destiny! Revenge is in you too! ”
