The negotiation of the bet before the argument is over.

Zhao Rong returned to his seat with a straight face.

The little fox demon who had just done something she felt was the most courageous thing in her life silently followed behind Zhao Rong.

Su Xiaoxiao had a small face, and after peeking at Zhao Rong's face again, her eyes narrowed unconsciously, with a little smile, and she coughed crisply twice.

Zhao Rong didn't turn his head, and walked forward.

"Zhao Rong, that ...... What is Furnace?"

Zhao Rong turned his head suddenly, pursed his lips and stared at the little fox demon, silent.

Su Xiaoxiao puffed out his mouth, looked innocent, and stared at him wide-eyed.

After a while, Zhao Rong was defeated.

The young Confucian frowned and said, "You really don't know?"

The little fox demon's little head shook like a rattle.

Zhao Rong thought about it, and some words were inconvenient to say, so he had to say sullenly: "It's a relationship that is closer than a good friend." ”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked.

Zhao Rong couldn't hold back any longer, "Su Xiaoxiao, can you stop doing these self-righteous things for my good?"

"Let me bet on my own friends is the biggest insult to me Zhao Ziyu!" Zhao Rong looked serious.

"Not friends, good friends. She corrected.

Zhao Rong nodded, "Yes, it's a good friend...... No, does it make a difference? Can you get to the point of what I'm saying?"

"Yes, there is a difference. Her voice was weak, but her tone was firm.

Thinking of her willfulness and stubbornness just now, Zhao Rong took a deep breath, stared into her eyes, and said word by word, "Only this once, not the next one." ”

However, seeing Su Xiaoxiao's little touch with her head down, Zhao Rong's heart softened slightly, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw that the little girl had suddenly raised her head.

The two looked at each other.

"I know that disgusting worm has what you want, the kind you want very much, because ...... You kept staring at him just now, ignoring me, Zhao Rong, isn't that the national teacher's robe?"

"I sewed your favorite clothes in the morning so that you don't like them, and I want to give you one back. ”

Zhao Rong didn't answer, and sighed in his heart.

Obviously, he was going to gamble, but he went around and around and got this stupid girl in.

Why are you so stupid? But he still didn't say anything.

"Little believe you can win!"

It's just that in the next second, the little fox demon suddenly looked scared, and said in a timid tone: "Zhao Rong, don't lose Xiaoxiao." ”

Zhao Rong squinted and nodded silently.

A bell rang, and the referee of the Confucian-Taoist debate, the 61 layman with a wine gourd pinned to his waist, slowly stepped onto the high platform.

Lin Wenruo walked to Zhao Rong's side and stood side by side with him, neither of them looked at each other, but set their eyes on the opposite side of the group of people.

The young Confucian starved, "I want him dead." ”

Xin Chang Rusheng nodded, "Yes." ”

Then he continued, "But if the plan is successful, it must win." ”

"Definitely. "He's unambiguous.

This is the first time he has been so serious since coming into this world.

————

"The two sides of the bet have agreed, and there is no objection, the old man announced that today's Confucianism and Taoism debate officially began, the first clear talk, Lanxi Lin's selection, rushing to the hypocritical view. ”

On the high platform, the 61 layman said loudly, and the smoke on the stage with the sound of the vibrating voice instantly became chaotic and echoed throughout the audience.

Offstage, Chen Muzhi got up with a black feather fan lightly, and after showing a smile to Zhao Rong and Lin Wenruo, he came to the stage in a dashing manner and said a few words to the 61 layman.

After a while, Qingjingzi heard the shouts of the 61 layman, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he got up and went to the stage.

Lan Yuqing and Qing Yuanzi, who were standing on the side, looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, the attention of the audience was focused on the stage, but the old man wearing a Nanhua scarf standing at the front of the Taoist priest in the Chongxu audience had a pale face and looked at the scenery outside the scripture platform, and a string of prayer beads in his hand gently turned.

At one moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head to look at a young Confucian who had been looking at him, and then turned back and ignored him.

Zhao Rong saw that the mysterious old man had discovered him, and he didn't hide it, and continued to follow his gaze to look out of the stage, the direction had a wide field of vision, and he could take in the scenery of the mountains in the south of Zhongnan Mountain, and the next moment, Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows, and his lips pursed into a red line.

The two sides of the first conversation were Chen Muzhi and Qingjingzi.

Before the start of the talks, the two sides should declare their identities to each other, and there is no need to hide them at this time.

Qingjingzi is the main party, and the topic is "good as water" in the "Tao Sutra".

The argument of the pure son is that "the good is like water." Water conservancy is not disputed, and it is evil for everyone, so it is almost the Tao. ”

Therefore, Chen Muzhi, as a guest, must ask him questions, and can only passively adhere to the opposite argument, that is, "evil is like water".

In this way, it is easy to see the advantages and disadvantages at the beginning.

Virtue is like water is one of the core ideas of Taoism, and although there are many disputes between Confucianism and Taoism, they are surprisingly consistent in their views on water.

Zhao Rong read the books of sages and sages, and saw a lot of praise for water, all of which are in line with the Taoist "goodness is like water".

For example, "the wise man is like water, and the water has a Confucian style", such as "the gentleman must see the river", such as "the man who is the water, the gentleman is more virtuous"

Even the Confucian sage's theory of "human nature is inherently good" is another expression of "goodness is like water".

The root of all this is that in a certain time so long and unknowable that the sages recorded in the books of sages, the Confucian holy master once met the Taoist ancestor next to a certain river, performed the disciple ceremony, and listened to the Taoist ancestor talk about water......

Therefore, Qingjingzi chose this topic of debate, which is indeed clever, after all, there are many discussions about water in the book, and it can be easily used as evidence.

The argument begins.

After the two sides clarified their arguments, Qingjingzi held the rosary in his hand, but did not turn it, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is on top, and the water is alone, everyone is easy, and the water is alone, and everyone is clean, and the water is alone." Where there is all the evil of people, who is the husband to fight with? ”

Chen Muzhi raised his chin slightly, shook the feather fan lightly, and said leisurely: "Sex is like turbulent water, if you decide the east, it will flow east, and if you decide the west, it will flow west." Human nature is not divided into good and bad, and water is not divided into things. ”

......

Although Chen Muzhi was at a disadvantage at the beginning because of the argument, in less than half an hour, Qingjingzi lost.

Zhao Rong and Lin Wenruo looked at Qingjingzi, who was speechless and speechless by Chen Muzhi on the stage, looked at each other and smiled.

Chen Muzhi adopted the style of Confucian debate, seized a loophole in Qingjingzi's argument, and attacked the shield of the son with the spear of the son.

Didn't you say, "The good is like water, and the good of water is good for all things without dispute, and it is better than the Tao because of the evil of all people"? In other words, water actually has only one quality, and that is "benefit," which is beneficial to all things.

Therefore, Chen Muzhi summed up a brief description of "goodness is like water, mercenary is the picture" for the other party's point of view.

However, water is not deliberately "beneficial to all things", it just flows according to its own laws, and as a result, it is "beneficial to all things" if you are not careful. It is precisely because of this carelessness that it has become the best in your mouth.

So the water is going with the flow.

So the contradiction came.

If a person wants to be as good as water, he must first be mercenary, then "indisputable", and then "do what everyone is evil"; but these are all self-detrimental interests for the sake of fame, and sacrifice oneself in order to please others, and these are not going with the flow, but against nature.

If the water is called "good", then these people can be called "evil".

Chen Muzhi seized a small loophole of the other party, constantly expanded it, chased after it fiercely, and was aggressive.

In fact, from the perspective of Zhao Rong's previous debate experience and bystanders, Chen Muzhi's logical reasoning has weaknesses and cannot withstand too much scrutiny, but where did Qingjingzi react on stage, he could only passively respond to the moves, and he lost half of his momentum, and in less than half an hour, he lost his armor.

The first conversation was an easy victory.

After the 61 layman announced the victory, Chen Muzhi greeted the applause of the audience and got off the high stage with a red face.

Zhao Rong and Lin Wenruo glanced at each other and stepped forward to greet them with a smile.

Chen Muzhi took a few deep breaths, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Foolish, fortunately, I am not dishonoring my mission." ”

Zhao Rong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the first scene was actually the link he was most worried about, worried that Chen Muzhi's pride would underestimate the enemy, but now it seems that this matter has not happened, and everything is developing in a good way.

And in the second game, according to the plan, the scheming Lin Wenruo came to power, but he didn't have much to worry about, but he was afraid that the opposite side of the second game would directly choose him as a "superior horse", which would disrupt the plan.

Soon, the second session began.

Selected by Chong Xuguan, Lanxi Lin's topic was selected.

The other party sent the Qing Yuanzi with an extremely long jaw beard to the stage, and after a while, the 61 layman slowly reported the name of the opponent chosen by Qing Yuanzi.

"Lin Wenruo. ”

The corners of Zhao Rong's mouth hooked slightly, and the other side really regarded him as a first-class horse, and chose Lin Wenruo for the second game, everything was planned!

And these days, Lin Wenruo and Chen Muzhi are carefully studying their opponents, and they have studied almost every conversation of their opponents in the past, knowing themselves and their opponents.

Now, according to the dinner that night, the plan has been successfully completed for the most part.

As long as you win one more game, you can win a big victory and change the sky for this Zhongnan country that has been suppressed by a Taoist temple for thousands of years!

When Lin Wenruo heard this, he tidied up his clothes and solemnly appeared on stage, even if he knew his opponent very well, he did not slack off at all and went all out.

Zhao Rong showed a slight relaxed smile, but then retracted and calmly waited for the applause and the final victory.

But what he never expected was that a quarter of an hour later, when the thunderous applause rang out, it was a certain Confucian student who staggered off the stage.

Xin Chang Confucian was crumbling, and he murmured: "He, he has been to the Jixia School Palace......"

In the second clear talk, there was no debate, and he lost.
