Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 98 The Confluence of Confucianism and Taoism
Li Xuandu frowned after hearing this.
The palace official closed the folding fan in his hand and pointed to the opposite position of the table, Li Xuan was satisfied, and the two sat opposite each other across the table.
"Although I didn't do it myself, it would be unreasonable to say that I had nothing to do with it. The palace official's face showed a sly look, and said: "Actually, I instructed others to do it, and this is the second thing I want to say, please watch a good show." ”
If it were according to Li Xuandu's previous temperament, when he heard this, most of them would have brushed his sleeves away, but now that the situation is stronger than others, Li Xuandu is no longer the invincible Purple Mansion Sword Immortal in the past, and he should bow his head when he should bow his head.
Seeing that Li Xuan was silent, the palace official couldn't help asking, "Don't you want to know what kind of show it is?"
Li Xuandu shook his head.
The palace official frowned and laughed at himself: "It seems that I am flattering and throwing it to the blind, and I am making myself amorous." ”
Such a delicate beauty, saying such words, replaced by others, I am afraid that my heart and liver will be broken, not my own fault but also my own fault, I can't wait to take out my heart and show it to the beauty in front of me.
However, Li Xuandu always sat upright, did not squint, and did not have the slightest mood fluctuation because of the woman's joy and anger. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be able to go today, if he saw a beautiful woman, he would have to be distracted, then in the first battle of the imperial capital, he faced Su Yuncheng and Yu Qingning, two stunning women, wouldn't he have to be defeated early? Even in the last battle with Yu Qingning, if he was a little distracted and soft-hearted, he would die under the "Nine Heavens Xuanyin".
Compared with Li Xuandu's great enemy, the palace official is much more relaxed, constantly opening and closing the folding fan in his hand, and there is a dark fragrance on the fan surface.
Xuan Shengji of the Lady Sect is not in the Xijing City, not in the mountain gate of the Lady Sect, but she came all the way to this Ping'an County, and no one else knows what medicine is sold in her gourd, in fact, including several people in the knowledge of the Lady Sect, there is also a lot of speculation, and they don't think that she is just looking for revenge from the Long Clan, there must be deeper considerations, or to use this to target the Jing Zen Sect behind the Long Clan, to knock the mountain and shock the tiger. Or to lay out this way, there is an unknown scheme, a grass snake gray line, and a thousand miles of veins.
Everyone knows that the women of the Lady Sect, especially Guang Miaoji and Xuan Shengji, are all scheming people, and never do that useless work, and they have won the essence of the Ten Patriarchs.
This is a fact that is obvious to all.
Therefore, including Li Xuan, they don't think that this Xuan Shengji is simple-minded, and is just venting his anger.
The two were relatively silent for a long time, Li Xuandu saw that the palace official had opened and closed the folding fan in his hand twelve times, but he still didn't mean to speak, so he could only take the initiative to ask: "Palace girl, please speak up about everything, don't play dumb riddles, it's really that Li is not good at this." ”
The palace official still didn't speak, but looked at Li Xuandu carefully.
Compared with the last time the two met, Li Xuandu now has a lot less edge and more elegance. This aroused a lot of interest among the palace officials, and now on the rivers and lakes, there are many people who cultivate their strength but do not cultivate their hearts, and the former Zifu Sword Immortal was also regarded as this kind of person, but when she saw her again, she found that the person in front of her was very different from what she imagined, just like a long sword with cold light and awe-inspiring murderous intent slowly put into its sheath, and there was no longer a sharp edge. For a kendo master, it is easy to endure pain and itching, and after drawing the sword, hiding the sword into the sheath is far more clever than drawing the sword to kill people, which is similar to looking at the mountain is not a mountain to seeing the mountain or a mountain, which is very mysterious.
Could it be that in the past few years, he has gone into hiding and cultivating his mind?
If you talk about this kung fu of cultivating the mind, or take the three teachings as the most, Taoism's quiet inaction, Buddhism's Pudu sentient beings, and Confucianism's benevolence and righteousness, I don't know which road he took?
She also had some guesses about the origin of this Purple Mansion Sword Immortal.
If you don't guess wrong, he should be from the Taoist lineage, the earliest Zifu Sword Immortal, despise the secular etiquette and rules, and pursue his own leisure, which is very in line with the purpose of the Taoist Nanhua lineage, and has the meaning of "the rise and fall of the world, what worry do I have", and then look at the name of Li Xuandu, Xuandu Zifu, which is also closely related to Taoism.
But looking at Li Xuandu today, there is a lot less Taoist meaning of being born and doing nothing, but there is some meaning of Confucian national righteousness, she doesn't know where these Confucian meanings come from, but she guessed a possibility, it is rumored that Li Xuandu has a very good relationship with Zhang Suqing, the head of the four ministers of Gu Ming, and Zhang Suqing is the current Confucian master, so the "Confucianism" on Li Xuandu is likely to be inherited from Zhang Suqing.
Confucianism advocates teaching by word and deed, and it seems that around the time of the First Battle of the Imperial Palace, this Zifu Sword Immortal followed Zhang Suqing's side, and he did benefit a lot.
Putting aside the Buddhist sects such as Jing Zen Buddhism for the time being, in fact, the righteous sects headed by the Zhengyi sect and the evil sects headed by the Wudao sect are all from the Taoist lineage, and the biggest difference between the two after the exclusive respect for Confucianism is that the righteous sects advocate the convergence of Confucianism and Taoism, and even Confucianism is the mainstay, supplemented by Taoism, and now Li Xuandu's body is reflected in such signs. In her opinion, although the two schools of Confucianism and Taoism have something in common, they are more of conflicts. Confucianism likes to set rules for the world the most, and Taoism has to break free from these rules, the former Zifu Sword Immortal is undoubtedly contemptuous of the rules and detached, to a certain extent, the Zifu Sword Immortal at that time acted, more inclined to the people of the Ten Sects of the Evil Dao, but now he took the initiative to lock himself in these rules, which really made the palace officials feel a little sorry.
Characters like Li Xuandu are all tenacious people, and it is impossible to make him change his mind with just a few words, from this point of view, Zhang Suqing can do this, I am afraid it is not as simple as teaching by words and deeds.
The palace official even had a bold guess, whether it was Zhang Suqing's death that made Li Xuandu begin to re-examine the truth under his feet? If it weren't for the battle of the imperial capital, would this Purple Mansion Sword Immortal still despise the rules of secular etiquette and then go away with the world?
If this is the case, if you want to bring Li Xuandu's heart back, I am afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky, this is the point that she hates Confucianism the most, to put it nicely, it is called sacrificing life for righteousness, and if it is ugly, it is to die for you, to die at a suitable time, to inspire people, and inspire future generations.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die alone, and there is a great terror between life and death, neither afraid of death, but also willing to sacrifice life, who can block its way?
It is not for nothing that Confucianism can become the orthodoxy of the world today.
The palace official was full of thoughts, so he didn't answer Li Xuandu's question for a long time.
Li Xuandu was not in a hurry to urge, and after opening his mouth once, he waited quietly.
After about a stick of incense, the palace official finally reined in his thoughts that were gradually spreading and drifting away, and slowly spoke: "Actually, before I came here, I was thinking about a question, whether to simply take revenge and slap the former Engong to death. ”
"Although in terms of your background, there must be a great teacher behind you, as well as friends such as Zhang Luanshan, if you really kill you, it will definitely cause great trouble, but when this thought comes to my mind, I still feel extremely tempted. ”
The beautiful girl looked at the young man who was a little older than her.
Her eyes were cold, and she threw away all disguises, like a poisonous snake spitting snake letters.
Li Xuandu looked at her calmly and without fear.
Since the palace official said this, most of them have no murderous intent, so why be afraid?
Sure enough, after a while, the woman's cold eyes gradually became gentle again, like a pool of spring water, and her eyes were like silk.
Li Xuandu didn't say a word, still unmoved, just looked at her calmly.
The palace official suddenly laughed, "You guessed right, I changed my mind later, not because I was afraid of anything, but because I suddenly wanted you to ask you a word." ”
Li Xuandu slowly spoke: "Please speak." ”
The palace official said softly: "It's not too late to wait until you finish watching this big play." ”
With that, she curled up, glanced at Li Xuandu deeply, and then left.
Li Xuandu always sat in place, his brows furrowed.
Eighty percent of this so-called drama is related to today's Long family.
He subconsciously glanced at the sky outside the door.
Black clouds crush the city.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
