Chapter 356: The Debate of the Three Schools (2)

Gamodu reacted, but saw that the people in the temple had walked a lot, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "My Buddha is merciful, and today we will open the temple." Why should Shu Cheng be so serious about doing things, and what's the harm in opening up the net? ”

"If you open up the net, who will guarantee the safety of the people's lives?"

"Ruyin is so calm, the Huns are hundreds of miles away, where is there danger?"

"Are you clairvoyant or downwind? Can you know the movements of the Huns? The Hun iron cavalry has always been fast, if there is a blitzkrieg, even if there are probe horses around Ruyin, how long can I warn in advance? Even if I can get the news in advance, how can I notify everyone in the first place? ”

"Uh-" Although Kamotu was poor in words, he still felt unconvinced, "Today is a good day for this temple, and the situation is special, can't you be accommodating?" ”

Shu Yan snorted coldly: "You don't know when I do?" If it was just this, the Huns would not have rushed to call today by such a coincidence, and I could barely be accommodating. But you spread the word to the people that there will be a puja in the temple every first and fifteenth day of the new year, just like today. If you can hide from the first day of junior high school, how can you hide from the fifteenth? ”

Before Gamo Du could reply, he heard Biyu laugh twice: "Both of you have expressed fearlessness and confidence in the Hun Hukou. But how is it that when I hear your words today, I am like fear? ”

This remark immediately provoked Shu Yan's rebuttal: "I evacuated the people to reduce the casualties of the people, is it because I am personally afraid!" ”

Gamotu was about to refute it, but Biyu waved his hand and said, "Hugh wants to argue about this." Today, the two of you, a great Confucian and a Buddha, are the spokespersons of the two schools of Confucianism and Buddhism. I suddenly have a question for you: If you are walking alone in the wilderness, you will encounter two wolves who want to bite a man. The strength of two people can fight with two wolves, but it is inevitable to be bitten, and even fatal danger, what should you do? ”

"Sacrifice your life for righteousness, and kill yourself to become benevolent. There is no need to wait for him to call for help, it is incumbent on him to take the initiative to help this person and deal with the wolf together. Shu Yan said without thinking.

"If the two of you have already wounded the wolf, and the wolf is no longer a threat to you, and you want to escape with injuries, what should you do?" Biyu asked further.

"If you let it run away, it will harm others. It is necessary to put it to death and eliminate harm for the people. ”

Biyu seemed to have received an answer that he had anticipated. Then he turned his head to look at Gamodhu.

Gamo Duxian did not answer, but asked Biyu rhetorically: "You are a famous metaphysical scholar today, if you encounter such a situation, what should you do?" ”

What should I do? Biyu didn't expect that her question was asked by the other party. But of course, this can't help him: "Lao Ziyun: A person who has attained the Tao will not meet a tiger on land, and he will not be a soldier when he enters the army." If you encounter a tiger or a wolf, you are not a person who has attained the Tao. I can only blame myself for not cultivating enough. And I am the most thorough person, the tiger wolf will avoid me when he sees me, how can he encounter the tiger wolf devouring people? ”

When Gamadu heard Biyu's answer, he laughed it off and expressed his thoughts, "Wolves, carnivorous beasts. It attacks people not for anything else, but for the sake of hunger. This is in its nature. If it eats people, it can live; If you don't eat people, you will starve to death. The Buddha said that all living beings are equal. Humans are living beings, and wolves are living beings. How can you favor one over the other? ”

Since the next is private, people are divided into rich and poor, three, six, nine and so on. It is rare for Confucianism to advocate leniency and love for the people, and everyone is equal and does not dare to pursue it. This remark is really unheard of, and people are all amazed. There were still many people in the temple who had not yet been evacuated, and Gamal Tuk deliberately used this remark to attract the public to take an interest in Buddhism.

"You don't want to talk about the truth, you only encounter someone trapped by a wolf, how should you deal with it?"

was forced to ask by Shu Yan, but Gamo Du was calm: "When Shakyamuni Buddha was practicing, he encountered an eagle chasing a pigeon and wanted to eat it. The Buddha then cut off his own flesh and fed it to the eagle in exchange for the pigeon's life. I don't go to hell, who goes to hell? If I do encounter a tiger and a wolf, I will replace that person with my body. ”

"Huh." Shu Yan sneered, "What kind of logic are you?" The logic of cultivating evil with good! On the surface, it is indeed an extraordinary good deed for the Buddha to cut meat and feed eagles, but if you think about it, at this time, you saved a carnivorous beast, and this beast is bound to eat meat in the future to be satisfied. Who will cut the flesh to save each other when the time comes? Does that mean that countless herbivores will die in their mouths? Isn't that helping to commit abuse? ”

Gamo Du was speechless when he was refuted by Shu Yan, but Biyu laughed and said, "You two are just fifty steps and a hundred steps." Shu Cheng's behavior is too much-since the wolf is injured and has no threat to you, why do you want to kill them all? And what about Brother Gamor, the eagle was originally going to prey on pigeons, this is a natural way of mutual restraint, and people need to cut the meat and eat the eagle? ”

was laughed at by Biyu, Shu Yan and Jia Modu were not convinced. "Both of us answered the same question, while you yourself avoided the truth. What 'people who have attained the Dao, and they will not meet the tiger on the land', do you think that everyone in your Xuanmen is a person who has attained the Dao? Here's what if, if you stand in your Xuanmen Zhongrao position and encounter the same situation, what should you do? ”

"If someone in my Xuanmen encounters such a situation, I only ensure that the person is not bitten by wolves, and the rest will be as it comes. If the wolf is wounded, let it flee as long as it is no longer a threat to people. ”

"Then aren't you afraid that it will hurt others after it is healed?" Shu Yan asked.

"That's the nature of wolves. As everyone knows, it is natural for tigers and wolves to hunt, the weak to eat the strong, the survival of the fittest, and the survival of the fittest. And the two of you deliberately intervened, contrary to nature. Isn't this a departure from the Great Dao and the annihilation of physical nature? ”

Shu Yan knew that Biyu couldn't do anything else, but no one could stand out when it came to debate. Where do you have time to waste on this!

"I don't have time to argue with you about the principles of nature. These nonsense, or you two idlers continue slowly, I still have something to do, so I will leave first! ”

Shu Yan turned his head to leave, and the onlookers in the temple all dispersed obediently.

Biyu didn't like other people's remarks of despising her the most, and seeing that Shu Yan showed disdain for her words, she turned around to leave again, and said hurriedly: "Is this nonsense?" Natural inaction is the way to go. In the face of nature, this is also the case in the face of society - the general trend of the Xiongnu has been achieved, and the Great Jin Dynasty has declined to this point. This is irreversible. If you don't resist, the city will be broken, and if you resist, the city will be broken, and then Ruyin City will inevitably be slaughtered. And you are still working hard for the people and money, training and preparing for war, exhausting yourself, and doing useless things. Isn't it the opposite? When the spring water dries up, the fish are wet and foamy, how long can it last? Why forget each other in the rivers and lakes? ”

Seeing that the people in the temple were expelled by Shu Yan, and seeing that there was no way, he formed an alliance with Biyu, and angrily said coldly to Shu Yan: "Confucianism rules the world, thinking that it is forging ahead, but in fact it is just self-deception. It has been hundreds of years since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, have you achieved long-term peace and stability? ”

At this time, Shu Yan listened to Errao's words, stopped slightly, and said loudly: "There is no way in the world that is perfect and perfect. I can tell you unequivocally that although Confucianism has been temporarily neglected, although metaphysics is currently very popular in the world, and although Buddhism has a new trend, neither Buddhism nor Confucianism can replace Confucianism in the end. Confucianism is the most orthodox and practical way of governing the country. Unless there is a radical and major change in society, no matter what dynasty it is in the future, even if it is owned by the Rong Dihu people, it is impossible to abandon Confucianism and not use it! He did not turn around, nor did he want to hear what the two men had to say, and when he had finished speaking, he strode out of the temple.

Biyu often argues convincing opponents in the debate arena. For example, Xun Bao and Xiahoumen in Luoyang, Zuo Teng and Feng Yu in Ruyin, were all defeated under his tongue. In today's debate, although Gamotu and Shu Yan are firm in their respective positions and have not been overwhelmed by themselves, the debate has reached this point, and Biyu feels that it is extremely thorough, and it seems that it is impossible to add more. He walked out of the temple satisfied. Originally, I took the medicine and dispersed, but at this time, the effect of the medicine has dissipated, and the interest has been exhausted, where is the strength? After walking a short distance, I felt weak. I had no choice but to have one servant go back to the house to report the news, and the other two attendants took turns carrying him to the house.

When he reached the city gate, he saw a convoy coming out of the city, with three calf carts in front and a dozen or so horse-drawn carts full of goods behind. The first calf cart drove past Biyu a few feet, but it suddenly stopped, and one of the people inside leaned out of the window and looked out: "Brother Biyu?" He immediately got out of the car, came to Biyu's side, and let Biyu into his car.

Seeing that it was Zuo Teng, Biyu immediately came to Ling'er spirit: "Brother Zuo? What are you going to do with such a big show? ”

"Go to the ferry, and then load the ship to Gangnam."

"Aren't you going to leave in two days?" Biyu was surprised.

"I specially sent someone to your mansion this morning to inform you that my family in Jiangnan has already made arrangements, and it is better to leave early than late, so I left two days early."

"You are in such a hurry, how can I have time to practice for you!"

"Come to Japan, when you also cross the river, Brother Feng and the three of us must reunite, why do you care about the difference at this moment?"

Zuo Teng looked at Biyu's sluggish and difficult appearance, and thought that it must be caused by Wushisan. He is also a stupid person, and he knows that there is no big problem, so he said to his family: "You wait for me at the ferry, and I will send Shi Taishou back to the house first." ”

Zuo Teng, the first colonel of the Zuo family's team, was about to send Biyu back to the house with his own calf cart, but saw that the Shi family had already sent an car over.

Ah Miao got out of the car, thanked Zuo Teng first, and then helped Biyu into his car.

Zuo Teng was relieved, and when he was leaving, he couldn't help but persuade Ah Miao in front of Yu: "You and my best friend, I can't bear to see you suffer from accidents, so I kindly advise you." Let's go while it's good now. Don't wait until the Xiongnu really besiege the city, it's too late to leave. ”

"Thank you Zuo Gongzi for your concern. Let my son-in-law go back and discuss it with the eldest princess. ”

Ah Miao helped Biyu to take the car back to the house. After entering the mansion gate, I came to the corridor and found that the eldest princess of Yong'an and her uncle Shi Chang were "waiting" here. It turned out that the news that Zuo Teng was going to cross the river today alarmed the Shi Mansion, as the actual head of the Shi Mansion and the executor, the eldest princess of Yong'an and Shi Chang felt that the matter was very important, and gathered here to wait for Biyu to discuss together.

"Come here, come here first."

Ah Miao originally wanted to help Biyu back to the room, but after listening to Shi Chang's order, she wanted to help Biyu into the corridor. But Biyu stood still.

Shi Chang Zhengse contrasted jade and said: "Although you are the serious master of the Shi family, but after your father died, I, as the elder of the Shi family, will be involved in the life and death of the Shi family, and I will have to take care of it for thousands of generations." The Zuo family has set off to cross the river today, what are you going to do? ”

"What kind of river to cross, is Jiangnan good?"

Biyu didn't seem to pay attention to her uncle's anxiety, and while responding listlessly and vaguely, she took a step to leave.

Seeing Biyu's perfunctory appearance, Shi Chang was angry and anxious: "I don't care how you were debauched and unruly before, but about crossing the river, now you have to give me an idea...... Hey, dear, stop me! ”

Although there was a call as if Shi Chang was ordering, Biyu walked away without looking back, so angry that Shi Chang stomped his feet.

The eldest princess of Yong'an had no choice but to explain to Biyu with Xiao: "Uncle don't blame the horse." This is a very different matter, and it is difficult to decide for a while. The son of the Zuo family is unofficial and light, but the concubine is the chief guard of the county and a general with a rank, so he has a heavy responsibility, and it is indeed inconvenient to leave. ”

Shi Chang shook his head and sighed: "I shouldn't say a word, the eldest princess should not be blamed." Now that Luoyang has overturned, the imperial court is gone, which one should be too guarded! What is too guarded, general's, it doesn't matter if you do it or not. As for my Shi family, he is the only descendant, and he must not be careless. ”

The eldest princess of Yong'an, as the Sima royal family, is naturally ten thousand times more painful than others when her own country is overturned. However, this is an established fact, and there is nothing you can do about it. "Uncle's is not unreasonable. But as a person who has read the books of sages, he must not only take care of his own safety, but also take care of his family and country. ”

"Now that the chaos has reached this point, what kind of family and country are you talking about! It is not easy for the ancestors of the Shi family to start a business. Most of my Shi family members have died in Luoyang. I waited in Ruyin to avoid calamity. It is especially fortunate that he left the authentic inheritance of the Shi family, and the glory of the next hundred generations depends on him to continue. If this is cut off, what face will I have to see my fathers and fathers after I die! Although the eldest princess is a royal family, she is also the concubine of my Shi family, please be sure to weigh it carefully and persuade him. Shi Chang's son was also killed with Shi Hui and his wife when Luoyang overturned, so he paid more attention to Biyu.

In fact, the eldest princess of Yong'an didn't know that compared with a royal princess who had never been valued in the palace, the role of Shifu's authentic heir to the husband was more important to herself. Of course, she had to stand in that way at the moment. She sighed and said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. How? As a guard, as a general, if he considers the court and the people, he should stay; As the sister-in-law of the Shi family, if you think about the continuation of the family, you should go. As for whether to leave or stay, I will respect his opinion. ”
