Chapter 45: I Am the Canon, I Am the Doctrine (Seeking Reading)
Without waiting for Peng Yingyu and others to reply, Xu Qian asked and answered: "Actually, it's very simple, there is only one reason why my religion can come from Persia and spread out in Middle Earth: that is, my religion meets people's expectations for a better life, and people see that there is a good life to live from." ”
Peng Yingyu, Dai Qisi, Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng and others were stunned for a moment, pondered carefully, and found that although Xu Qian's words were straightforward, Danli was indeed this reason.
"Aren't you all joining my teaching because of this?"
"Dissatisfied with this world, dissatisfied with the Tartars, dissatisfied with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and want to change all this and create a world where there is a good life to live, I joined my sect?"
"What is Mingzun? In my teachings, Mingzun is the god of fire and the god of goodness! ”
"Fire can burn filth and illuminate darkness, so Mingzun is the god of fire, and Mingzun is the god of goodness, not that Mingzun itself is 'good', but represents our pursuit of goodness!"
While Peng Yingyu, Dai Qisi and others were thinking, Xu Qian finally threw out what he really wanted to say.
"Therefore, I think the real goal of my teaching is to create a better world, so that all people in the world can live a good life, no longer suffer from hunger and cold, no longer be oppressed by corrupt officials, and be able to eat well, dress well, marry a daughter-in-law, afford to go to school, and be able to cure ...... disease."
These were not realized in later generations, but it did not prevent Xu Qian from taking them out to draw cakes for Peng Yingyu and others.
Xu Qian said again: "Xu thinks that this is the real purpose of what I teach to exist in the world, and it is also the real inspiration that Mingzun has given us, Mingzun wants me to lead the world to live better, not to make them worse, not to make them become the same as us!" ”
Speaking of this, Xu Qian became more and more excited, he stood up, stretched his hands high, and shouted: "Great, Mingzun, Sheng, Mingzun!" ”
Peng Yingyu and the others looked at Xu Qian, as if they saw light shining through his face.
Affected by Xu Qian, several people also stood up and shouted in unison: "Great, Mingzun, Shengzai, Mingzun!" ”
Even the white ape standing on Xu Qian's left followed suit, screaming indiscriminately.
Zhou Zhiruo shouted along, and at the same time slandered in her heart: 'Master is telling nonsense and deceiving people again!' ’
She guessed wrong this time, Xu Qian's words were really not a lie.
He really wants to make the people in this world better, but his motive is not to make people better, but only when people live well, can more people study martial arts and create the prosperous era of martial arts he wants.
For most people, even eating and dressing up is a luxury, talk to him about reading and learning martial arts, and see if he spits at you.
When survival is the first priority, many things are meaningless (and of course there are those who have the same strong will)!
After shouting, Yang Xiao was the most clever, and he was the first to say: "It turns out that the true meaning of my teachings is like this, Yang has not been able to comprehend it in the past, and he is very ashamed, thank you for telling the sect leader!" ”
'Give the surname Yang the first step! ’
Dai Qisi scolded secretly, and hurriedly said: "Listening to the words of the sect leader today, Dai Qisi knows how shallow she is, thank you to the sect leader!" ”
With these two leaders, Yin Tianzheng also sighed: "What the sect leader said is reasonable, my religion is not the religion of one person, not the religion of a hundred people and a thousand people, but the religion of the world, and it should be for the benefit of the world, not just one family." ”
Zhou Dian said: "The sect leader proposes to abolish the article 'the congregation does not drink meat' in the canon, and I support it!" Whoever doesn't agree is my enemy! ”
After that, Zhou Dian deliberately glanced at Peng Yingyu, even if you and I are both scattered people, I will turn my face with you at that time.
"Brother Zhou, don't be like this."
Xu Qian appeased Zhou Dian: "Actually, I propose to abolish this article, but also for the sake of the teaching, you have traveled north and south of the river, have you ever found a phenomenon?" ”
"Master, what is the phenomenon?" Zhou Dian said curiously.
Xu Qian said: "Those who eat meat are stronger and more powerful than those who don't eat meat!" ”
Wei Yixiao, Yin Tianzheng and the others thought about it carefully and found that it was true that meat eaters were generally stronger and more powerful than non-meat eaters.
But Peng Yingyu retorted: "Sect Master, what you said is not right, I don't eat meat, and the monks of Shaolin don't eat meat either, so their bodies will not be strong and their strength will be small?" ”
Xu Qian said with a smile: "I'm talking about the same physical conditions, one person eats meat, and the other person doesn't eat." Brother Peng mentioned that he and the Shaolin monks, although you don't eat meat, you eat a lot of food, eat several times more vegetarian food than meat at each meal, and also take medicinal diets, and even have medicinal baths to train your body, how can you not be strong? ”
Seeing that Peng Yingyu was about to refute, Xu Qian said: "If Brother Peng doesn't believe it, I can make a bet with you......
"What bet?"
Xu Qian said: "I and I each choose a hundred people with similar physical conditions, my hundred people eat meat, your hundred people can't eat meat, after a month, the two sides fight, the winner is reasonable, how?" ”
Xu Qian proposed this experiment, not only to convince Peng Yingyu, but also to show other Mingjiao disciples.
There are many people in Mingjiao who are as law-abiding as Peng Yingyu and whose ancestors' laws are immutable, and if you want to convince these people, you can't rely on words alone, you must let them see the actual effect.
Human nature is profit-oriented, as long as they see the benefits, they will take the initiative to participate without saying much.
Zi said: "The people can let it be done, but they can't know it." But Xu Qian thought that he could add another sentence: "If the people can't make it, they can be tempted." ”
Peng Yingyu said: "That's what the sect leader said!" ”
"In order to ensure justice, during this month, these two hundred people are not allowed to practice martial arts, eat medicinal food, or bathe in medicinal baths...... You can only eat meat or vegetarian food every day according to the standards of ordinary people. ”
Xu Qian gave the restrictions on this gambling fight, if there was no limit, Peng Yingyu gave him 100 people to nourish with medicinal food and practice with medicinal baths every day, and after a month, Xu Qian really might not be able to win.
Peng Yingyu agreed without thinking about it, he didn't think he would lose, after all, he had been a vegetarian for so many years, and so did his subordinates.
Xu Qian's first proposal ended in a gamble with Peng Yingyu, ostensibly Xu Qian made concessions, but in fact his goal had been achieved.
proposed to abolish the article "the congregation does not eat meat and wine" in the canon, not only because Xu Qian wanted the disciples of Mingjiao to eat meat and become stronger, but also because Xu Qian wanted to get the right to speak on the doctrine and canons of Mingjiao.
It's boring to be a leader who is limited by doctrines and canons, what Xu Qian wants to do is "what I say is canons, and what I say is doctrine."
Other sect leaders were bound by the canonical doctrine, and Xu Qian was bound by the canon doctrine in turn.
Which is cooler, needless to say!
Mingjiao was transmitted from Persia to Middle-earth, and there were positive and beneficial aspects to Xu Qian, and there were also many dross that were unfavorable to Xu Qian.
If you don't want to erase the negative side, is that Xu Qian using Mingjiao, or Mingjiao using Xu Qian?
If a person like Peng Yingyu continues to cling to the so-called canonical teachings after the outcome of the gambling fight, Xu Qian will have no choice but to use some means to make him disappear from his body.
