"Childe, you can't take it anymore. It would be terrible if it was known. The family took the initiative to be angry and didn't say anything, and the housemother was also distressed. Ah Miao's two slender arms gripped Biyu's right hand vigorously.

"You idiot, don't twist me." Biyu gave up the struggle of her right hand, and turned to her left hand to take a pinch of Wushisan and put it in her mouth, "Hugh wants to mention my parents, where did they really think about me!" ”

Seeing that the blocking had failed, and Biyu had already succeeded, Ah Miao hurriedly served him warm wine and helped him to take the five stones.

At the beginning, it was also because of the failed relationship with the daughter of the Shi family that Biyu was depressed. There was the temptation of Xun Bao and Xiahou Men, and the first five stones were scattered. Later, because of his admiration for the metaphysics of "Lao" and "Zhuang" discussed by Wang Yan, he sank into it, coupled with the warmth of the two beautiful maids A Miao and A Yan, his emotions gradually recovered. Wushisan was cut off for a while. Now that the second proposal has failed, and there are many stories in between, he even seems to have seen a little shadow of Zhixin, the object of his love when he was young, which caused his mood to be depressed again, and even decadent. He felt that although the failure of the proposal was due to force majeure, it had a lot to do with his father's lack of care, so even if his father had obtained the position of secretary for him, he was still unhappy and did not thank him. Although he was promoted to a new position, he didn't want to make progress every day, and he picked up Wushisan again, focusing only on studying metaphysics. Wang Yan, a talker in the Qing Dynasty, advocated the idea of doing nothing without doing anything, which was very much in his state of mind and made him greatly agree.

Today, Wang Yan gathered a group of celebrities to talk. Than Yuyan could miss this opportunity, and dressed up early. is no longer a rookie like before, but a long shirt with wide sleeves, a tail with a white jade handle, greased and powdered as usual, and asked Xun Bao and Xiahoumen to go together. Last time, two beautiful maids stirred up the situation and made everyone laugh, and since then, every time they go to the occasion of Qing Talk, they only take Aji alone, and leave Ah Miao and Ah Yan at home.

Regarding Biyu Fuwushisan, although he didn't listen to it every time, Ah Miao still tried his best to dissuade him, after all, he was still able to take as little as possible, not too wanton, so that the harm to the body could be reduced as much as possible.

The place of the Qing Talk was next to Tongtuo Street, and metaphysicians came one after another. Luoyang, as the location of the Son of Heaven, is regarded as the center of the world by the countries of the Quartet, in addition to leading the economy and technology, but also guides the cultural fashion. There are not only many celebrities and scholars who love metaphysics, but even envoys from all over the world.

Wang Yan is now very famous, taking over Shang Shuling's position, and is expected to approach the third duke, greatly surpassing his brother Wang Rong. The relationship network behind Wang Yan is also very unusual, his wife is related to Queen Jia, and his daughter wants to marry the crown prince as the crown princess. The Wang family was originally a family member, coupled with these in-laws, how could everyone not be inflammatory? And Wang Yan did have two moments, talking about metaphysics endlessly, and an argument can have two sets of rhetoric, which made everyone push him as the leader of the metaphysics.

After talking for most of the day, Wang Yan and other celebrities dispersed, and a small number of people such as Biyu, Xun Bao, and Xiahoumen continued to comprehend.

"Lao Tzu said, 'All things in the world are born from being, and some are born from nothing'. All things in heaven and earth are real beings in their own forms, but how can they be born of nothingness in the final analysis? Although Xun Bao is articulate, he has never understood this sentence.

"I can't understand it either." Xiahou said, "There is nothing to be nothing, how can all things be born in a state of nothing?" ”

The two sons didn't understand, and the rest of the people, including Park Hee-jin, Haetogawa, and other envoys, mostly came to listen to Xuan, and even outsiders, of course, they couldn't understand.

Biyu held the tail in his hand and smiled indifferently: "Two brothers, although we talk about Lao Tzu, please forgive me for borrowing a sentence from Confucius, 'If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless'." The Tao Te Ching is incomparably mysterious and unfathomable. This sentence is particularly abstract. It is difficult to grasp the deep meaning from the literal point alone, and it must be fully understood. At this point, you can start with other verses to help you understand. ”

"Which one?"

"Tao begets one, life gives birth to two, two begets three, and three begets all things."

"Although this sentence is also very abstract, it has a sense of gradual progress, and it is relatively easy to understand."

Biyu nodded and said, "Forgive the little brother for daring to speak." Since it is possible to know that all things are born from the Tao step by step, then don't you know that the Tao and nothingness are incompatible. 'There is a mixture of things, and it is born from nature'. The Tao is born from nature and earth, and with the Tao there is heaven and earth. What was before heaven and earth? Of course it is a state of nothing. The Tao came out of nothing, and evolved into a state of being. There are two states, existence and absence, and the state of non-existence determines its essence; There are states that show their existence, that is, they give birth to all things. 'None, the beginning of heaven and earth; Yes, the name of the mother of all things'. After the beginning of heaven and earth, there was everything. ”

Xiahoumen and Xun Bao listened to Biyu's words, and after a careful experience, they realized something. Tut-tut. The rest of the people had different levels of comprehension, and they all exchanged their heads and whispered to each other. Park Hee-kim, the envoy of Chenhan, did not speak, and still buried his head in thought.

"Don't you understand this at all?" Xianbei envoy Yuwen Xi sneered.

"Listening to what you say, you should be very clear, forgive me for being stupid, it's like falling into a fog for five miles, if Ambassador Yuwen really knows it, he might as well give a lesson or two."

was opposed by the other party, Yu Wenxian was quite embarrassed, "Ambassador Park misunderstood what I mean, I just understand a little bit, in contrast, you are in the five-mile fog, I am only three miles of fog, four miles of fog." ”

Park Hee-jin saw that he was bored with himself, and he didn't want to be embarrassed for him anymore, so he just glared at him fiercely, and snorted: "If you talk about comprehending metaphysics, except for a few sons, and other remote ministers here, I'm afraid no one can be on my right." ”

Lin Yi's envoy Fan Wen listened to the two of them boasting here, and said contemptuously: "If you two really understand, don't hide it in your stomach, share it with everyone, and let me wait to comprehend it; If you just pretend to understand, please shut up as soon as possible, and don't get in the way of us asking the three sons for advice. ”

Everyone wanted to figure out the mysteries, but they were disturbed by these two people, so they provoked each other with words. Of course, the two couldn't say why, so they had to fan their faces and remain silent.

Of course, Liu Mang, the envoy of the Huns, knew that Yuwen attacked a few catties and a few taels, and he had no ability, so he secretly laughed at his swollen face and became fat. But as a friend, he couldn't sit back and watch his audience besiege him, so he wanted to take the lead and ask the three sons for advice. Among the three sons, of course, Biyu has the most accurate grasp of metaphysics, but Biyu has always been cold and has always looked down on people outside the Shi clan. If you ask him, you may have a closed door and find yourself bored. I had no choice but to ask Xun Bao, who was relatively kind, for advice. Although Xun Bao can understand it himself, he can't let him tell others. I had to learn to be more cold than jade, and borrowed a sentence from "Zhuangzi" to cover up my embarrassment: "'The Tao cannot be spoken, and words are not also'." Since you can't comprehend it, naturally you are not qualified enough, and you can't force it. The Taoism is profound, how many sons of the family are still not able to penetrate, why wonder you are the ministers of the state! ”

From Xun Bao's words, no results were obtained. Liu Mang didn't dare to say any more, nor did he dare to ask again. Everyone was disappointed, and suddenly saw a person stand up and said loudly: "If you don't give up, the little monk has the courage to say a word or two." Everyone turned to look at the man: he was dressed in a short brown open coat, with sleeves that did not cover his arms, a robe that did not reach his ankles, a strange costume that did not seem to be changed very often, and which exuded body odor; A peculiar appearance, deep eye sockets, a large rough face with swarthy swarthyness; There are no shoes, and a pair of big feet are bare, dirty and sturdy; The most peculiar thing is that his scalp is bare, and he has shaved all his hair.

People who have lived in Luoyang for a long time know that the people in this costume are Buddhists from Magadha, missionary monks. Magadha monks have traveled to and from the Central Plains since the Later Han Dynasty, and gradually increased during the Wei and Jin dynasties. Of course, they mainly propagate the Dharma, that is, proselytize. However, the Central Plains is not as uncivilized as other regions, and it is easy to accept foreign civilizations. The Chinese have their own Yanhuang philosophy, hundred schools of thought, especially Confucianism and Taoism, which are deeply rooted, and it is difficult to accept other foreign teachings. The Buddhists worked hard for a hundred years, and the Chinese rulers changed again and again, but they still could not spread Buddhism to this land. Under such circumstances, if Buddhism wants to take root in the Central Plains, it is not possible to rush to achieve success, so it has to penetrate slowly. It seeks to integrate Buddhism with Confucianism and Taoism to form Buddhism with Chinese cultural characteristics. They know that in today's society, the most fashionable people are, of course, the noble class. Every move, word and deed of the children of the scholar clan will be respected by the world, and if they want to penetrate the entire Chinese people, they must first penetrate into the middle of the scholar clan. The most popular culture among the scholars is Qing Tan, which is a good breakthrough, so Buddhists can often be seen in Qing Tan circles, and many of them have even become masters of metaphysics.

The monk spoke with an exotic accent and a little Luoyang accent, walked up to the three of Biyu, and did not salute, but folded his hands and said: "I have long admired the good name of Gongzi, and I am fortunate to see Sansheng today." ”

Just for such a vulgar appearance, like a reckless man in the mountains, Biyu should be afraid to avoid it, of course he won't like it, and he disdain it, but he knows that the monk's identity is special and he can't be treated as an ordinary person, so he also arched his hand and said: "I don't know where the name of the monk comes from." ”

"The poor monk Kamadu, who came from Magadha and lived in Luoyang for a long time, has been counted for eighteen years."

Eighteen years, earlier than I came to Luoyang. Biyu thought to himself, but he didn't think that this person could have a high level, and said indifferently: "My generation only communicates with people in the circle, and I really don't know how to speak in the face of these people." I have heard for a long time that the monks of Magadha have a wide range of knowledge, and the monks have lived in Luoyang for a long time, and they must also be proficient in metaphysics, so they ask the monks to give advice and answer questions for these laymen. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
