Chapter 220: The weather is swinging, and my road is prosperous
Chong Qingfeng said: "The last session was the soldier's question, and this time it is the turn of the Taoist to ask, but I don't know which one the family sent this time?"
Yang Xiaotian looked at Duanmu Yao, and Liu Feiyi and the others remembered that Duanmu Yao was also a Taoist, could it be that she would be unable to solve the problem this time?
Who knew that Duanmu Yao smiled and shook his head, and said, "I came down the mountain this time to participate in the Dao Conference, and I actually begged the master for a long time. ”
Yang Xiaotian said with a smile: "You must be famous in one fell swoop at the Dao Conference, so you must participate in the Wendao competition." ”
Duanmu Yao shook his head and said, "I came to the Dao Conference because I heard that people from Tianhe County would also come, and I just wanted to cause some trouble for Tianhe County, so that's all, and I didn't have any other ideas." ”
Yang Xiaotian felt a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "What do you have to do with Tianhe County?"
Duanmu Yao smiled: "Don't talk about that, it's all a grievance from more than ten years ago." ”
Yang Xiaotian was a little puzzled, Duanmu Yao was now around twenty years old, she was a little girl of a few years old more than ten years ago, how could she have a grudge with Tianhe County at that time, but seeing that Duanmu Yao didn't say more, he had no reason to continue to get to the bottom of it.
"Old Mei, who will you send out over there?" Yang Xiaotian saw that Mei Shengqiu had been yawning, and he didn't seem to be interested.
Mei Shengqiu said lazily: "There are only two or three people who can play tricks on Taoists, and I can't think of anyone else besides them." ”
Yang Xiaotian was about to ask who it was, but Mei Shengqiu said: "Boy, this kind of tricky scene is nothing to look at, go back, I have some understanding of "Danshu Fu Gong", why don't we discuss it together!"
Yang Xiaotian nodded, and was about to leave with Mei Shengqiu.
"Wait!" Liu Feiyi said suddenly.
It turned out that someone from the Taoist side had already walked out.
The person who came out was a lame Taoist man, his robe swayed in the wind, and between his gestures, he faintly agreed with the meaning of heaven.
Since he saw that someone from the Taoist side finally stood up, Yang Xiaotian smiled apologetically at Mei Shengqiu and sat back in his position, he also wanted to see what kind of scene this Dao must be like.
Mei Shengqiu snorted softly and said, "It turned out to be this lame!"
"Who is he?" Yang Xiaotian asked.
Mei Shengqiu said: "The Lu Xuan Dao people of Zhengyang Palace. ”
"Zhengyang Palace?Lu Xudao?" These two names, Yang Xiaotian had never heard of them before, and said secretly: Lu Xudao people can represent Taoism, it seems that this Zhengyang Palace is also a great sect, Tianhe County, Zhenwujiao, Zhengyang Palace, these are all sects that have not been heard of before, and they are all here today, and the momentum directly overshadows the Tianguanmen and the four major academies of these well-known sects in Jiuzhou, it seems that there are still many profound sects in the world of Jiuzhou that are not known to ordinary people.
Over there, Lu Xudao coughed lightly and said: "The last soldier gave a polemic proposition, and the polemic was their soldier's specialty, and in the end, they won. Today, we Taoists should also follow the example of soldiers, and come to a topic about Taoism, I believe that everyone will not say that our Taoists bully others and attack the enemy's shortcomings with their own strengths, otherwise they will not slap the face of the previous soldiers. ”
Lu Xudao laughed as he spoke, as if he had seen through that no one would be the opponent of Taoism this time.
"The proposition I gave this time is "What is the Tao?", which one will come first?" Lu Xudaoren said lightly, but his expression seemed to be all in his chest.
The discussion came one after another, and after a long time, an old man came out of the Confucian side, with a lupine scarf, his beard and hair were all white, shaking the feather fan and saying: "Tao is Tao, very Tao!"
"Shameless!"
The Taoists immediately protested.
The old man of Confucianism shouted, "Why is it shameless?"
The Taoist man said: "Tao is Tao, very Tao, it is the remarks of our Taoist ancestors, and it is not your Confucianism, you are a Confucian, but you are talking about the mysteries of Taoism in your mouth, this is not shameless, so what is it?"
The old Confucian man smiled: "This can only be said that Confucianism is erudite and knowledgeable, and is good at using other theories, unless you think that the remarks of the Taoist patriarch are wrong, and it is only a one-sided word applicable to Taoism, if this is the case, then when my previous words are farting, when I have not said anything!"
The Taoists were in an uproar, and they couldn't refute it for a while, could they still admit that their ancestors' remarks were one-sided in order to attack Confucianism.
Lu Xudao waved his hand to quiet the Taoist people, this Confucian old man he recognized, Situ Long of Qingping Academy, has always been known for his sophistry.
"What Brother Situ said is very philosophical, and the meaning is broad and profound, but who in the world doesn't know, "Tao is Tao, very Tao" is a general summary of Tao, and I hope that Brother Situ can continue to say some remarks that support this truth, so as to convince everyone!"
"What Daoist Lu Xudao said is right!"
"Makes sense!"
......
Everyone has a lot of complaints about Situ Long's ingenious behavior.
Situ Long put the fan away, and everyone else knew that he had something to say, waiting to hear what kind of theory he could say.
Only Mei Shengqiu sneered and said to Yang Xiaotian: "Look, I'm not wrong, they are all quibbles." ”
Yang Xiaotian just smiled, he also wanted to hear what Situ Long could say.
Situ Long said: "Daoist, from nothing, when the chaos of heaven and earth is not opened, the Tao does not exist. After Pangu opened the world, the heavens and the earth first opened, and various laws of the Heavenly Dao appeared, so the Tao is a process of starting from nothing. With the Tao, there are all things in this world. ”
Yang Xiaotian nodded secretly, there was some truth in what the old man said.
"What Mr. Situ said is good, it makes sense, and it speaks the essence of Taoism!" Lu Xudao couldn't help but nod his head in praise.
Situ Long's face was colorful, and he read several Taoist morals in vain. After knowing that the proposition was made by Taoism this time, Situ Long began to prepare and studied the Taoist theory in depth, and sure enough, the proposition given by Lu Xudao was about Taoism.
Just when Situ Long was proud, someone from the Legalist side walked out, "Mr. Situ's remarks are just general remarks, and I can't do in-depth research!"
"Ahh You!" Situ Long didn't expect someone to comment on him like this, his face instantly pulled down, and he pointed angrily at the man.
Yang Xiaotian saw that the man was in his forties, with a purple sandalwood face and two faces, and short whiskers like needles on his lips and jaw.
"Han Baxian!" Qin Ke said.
"Huh?" Yang Xiaotian turned around.
"This person is Han Baxian of the Dragon Head Pavilion, and he is also an outstanding figure of the Legalist family!" Qin Ke explained.
Han Baxian was burly, standing there like a hill, and at this time he was glaring angrily at Situ Long.
"What is the purpose of my being talked about by the monks? That is, to make myself go further on the path of the Tao, and not to make general talks, if only for the sake of general talks, then I can invite those old masters from the village school here and guarantee that they can talk to you for three days and three nights. ”
"That's right, what Han Baxian said is not unreasonable!"
There is no shortage of wall grass in this world, and a moment ago he praised Situ Long's wonderful insights, but at this moment, he felt that Han Baxian was right.
Situ Long suppressed his anger and shouted, "Then please ask Mr. Han to talk about your high theory!"
"High arguments should not be burdened. A smile squeezed out of Han Baxian's majestic face, and said, "In other words, it's just a little bit of my opinion!"
"Then Situ Mou is here to listen to you!" Situ Long's tone was still unconvinced.
"Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help!" Han Baxian said eloquently, "Dare to say to everyone, what is the Tao and what is the Tao?"
When everyone was talking, Yang Xiaotian suddenly said: "For cultivators, unlike the world, the so-called worldly so-called Daoist people have more help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, which is mainly used to restrain the monarch of the secular dynasty, and advise the monarch to mainly exercise benevolence, but not violence/government. However, for those who practice and attain the Dao, they must conform to the laws of the Heavenly Dao, and cannot act against the laws of the Heavenly Dao. ”
"Good!" Han Baxian praised, "What this little brother said makes sense, this is what I want to say." ”
"Isn't it?" Situ Long was a little disdainful, "You also say so when others say that?"
Han Baxian didn't pay attention to him, yes or no, the clear-eyed person could only judge, and just nodded towards Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian also stood up and smiled and nodded towards Han Baxian. In fact, there are some things that he didn't say, and the cultivators are doing things that are against the heavens, and they are just talking about those who have attained the Tao in accordance with the way of heaven and deceive themselves.
"But how can we be considered to conform to the way of heaven?" one of the Yin and Yang family walked out.
Yang Xiaotian didn't know this person, so he cast an inquiring glance at Qin Ke, and Qin Ke also shook his head, he didn't know either.
Mei Shengqiu said: "This person is Zou Xingzi of the Yin and Yang family, and he is very good at the Yin and Yang Doctrine in one hand!"
"It turned out to be Mr. Zou. Yang Xiaotian bowed his hand.
Zou Xingzi smiled and said, "I heard the little brother's unique opinion just now, so I couldn't help but ask, and I hope that the little brother can solve the old man's doubts." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
"Taoist, compatible with everything. Yang Xiaotian paced in the attic, "The Tao is eclectic, inclusive of all things, from the desolate world to the present day, all truths, common sense, science, philosophy, and religious principles are incompatible, without bigotry, and the Tao is one." ”
As soon as these few words were said, not only Zou Xingzi nodded yes, but even Situ Long, who looked at others unpleasantly in everything, also nodded slightly.
Mei Shengqiu looked at this young man in surprise, how could he seem to understand everything, except for the Fu Dao, the fist technique is unparalleled, and when it comes to the Tao, it is also the head of the Tao.
Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Xiaotian was unhurried and spoke slowly.
"The Tao is omnipresent, omnipresent, omnipresent, omnipresent, omnipresent, omnipresent. Whether it is yin or yang, it can be felt or not, it can be thought of and cannot be said, it is feasible or not, right and wrong, true and false, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, good and evil, from inside and outside, heaven and earth, and so on. ”
Yang Xiaotian finally stopped, looked around, and saw that everyone was listening, and when he saw that he had stopped, they all closed their eyes and thought, thinking about what they had just said.
"Little brother, you keep talking!" Zou Xingzi looked a little impatient.
Yang Xiaotian smiled faintly and continued: "What I said earlier is answering the proposition of Lu Xudaoren, what is Dao?" Turning his head to Lu Xudaoren, he asked, "But I don't know if I think I am satisfied with such an answer?"
Lu Xudao nodded heavily and said, "What the little brother said just now has completely answered what the Tao is, I am very satisfied, but I also hope that the little brother can continue to talk about your opinions, so that everyone can discuss and discuss." ”
Liu Feiyi saw that Yang Xiaotian had become the focus of the audience, and couldn't help but smile provocatively towards Duanmu Yao, that expression seemed to say, see no, my man is so powerful, he can beat and say.
Duanmu Yao turned his face away, "Cut, what's the big deal!" It's just that in my heart, I really feel that this young man is really amazing, Wu Neng fist explodes the soldier Yang Liehuo, and Wen Neng covers the top people of each family.
"The humanity is slim, the fairy road is boundless, and the ghost road is happy!"
Under everyone's expectations, Yang Xiaotian finally continued to speak.
"Humanity is illusory, the fairy road is boundless, but the ghost road can satisfy the pleasure of greed and delusion for a while!"
Lu Xudao pondered: "Little brother means that the humane immortal path is not desirable, and only the ghost path can go to perfection?"
Yang Xiaotian shook his head, "Wrong!"
"Huh?" Lu Xudao's face was different, "What's wrong?"
"The Immortal Dao is often auspicious, and the Ghost Dao is often self-murdered!" Yang Xiaotian continued, "Although the Ghost Dao can satisfy the pleasure of the moment, the result must be a catastrophe, and those who cultivate the Immortal Dao are often naturally auspicious, which is why we tirelessly pursue cultivation instead of going to the Burning Sky Purgatory, accepting the baptism of purgatory, and stepping into the ghost clan." ”
Those old people are okay, some young people nodded one after another, the elders of the sect often taught them that they could not go to the Burning Sky Purgatory to experience in order to make their cultivation greatly improved, but they never told them what the reason was, and when I heard Yang Xiaotian say it today, I could be regarded as completely understanding that coming out of the Burning Sky Purgatory, although the cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, it has only broken the immortal path, and since then, people are inhumane and inhumane, and in the end it will be a catastrophe that will never recover.
One of the doctors walked out, bowed respectfully, and asked respectfully, "Sir, but you don't know how to step on the immortal path?" This person was close to the age of sixteen, but he was impressed by Yang Xiaotian's words just now, and asked him for advice with the courtesy of a junior.
Yang Xiaotian returned the salute and said, "The path of cultivation lies in the extreme?"
"Dare to ask sir, what is the ultimate?" asked the old doctor.
Yang Xiaotian smiled: "I'll tell you a story first!"
"Please!"
"Before coming to Chongwu Academy, I met a person, I am here to say this, I believe you may not necessarily know, he may be a talent on the ground, or a person who is frustrated in other aspects. ”
Everyone looked focused, staring at Yang Xiaotian with wide eyes, not knowing what the frustrated person he said had to do with cultivation.
Yang Xiaotian said: "This person is good at painting, I think everyone is no stranger to painting, and there may be people who are good at painting." ”
A few people in the field nodded their heads, thinking that they must be the people who have done painting in Yang Xiaotian's mouth.
Yang Xiaotian glanced at those people separately, and then said, "I wonder if a few gentlemen can draw birds and beasts that can walk, and strange flowers and plants that exude fragrance?"
"How is this possible?"
"This is nonsense!"
Not only those few people who were good at painting, but the rest of the people also felt that this was impossible.
Only Concubine Liu secretly thought to herself, did she know this person? Have you ever heard Yang Xiaotian talk about it before? Just after a while, she shook her head and looked at the young man, wondering if such a person really exists.
"It's not me here to sensationalize!" Yang Xiaotian said, "This is a real thing, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it." ”
"Sir, where is that person, we also want to go and see him!" Zou Xingzi said.
Yang Xiaotian smiled and said: "That person lives in a dilapidated alley in Huanlangzhou, if you have a heart, I believe you will be able to find it." ”
Yang Xiaotian also had the intention to let Gu Daozhi let more people know that a character like Gu Daozhi should stand on the top of the Jiuzhou Continent and attract all beings to worship.
"But I don't know what the person Mr. said has to do with the Tao?" Lu Xudao asked sincerely.
Yang Xiaotian said: "When I met the man, I asked him how he could paint such a magical painting, and his answer at that time was that there was nothing peculiar, practice makes perfect, sincerity is spiritual, and that's it." Practice makes perfect, and sincerity leads to spirituality, isn't this a secret fit with our cultivation! That's why I said that the path of cultivation is nothing more than the word extreme. As I said earlier, all truths, common sense, science, and philosophy are all about the Tao, and the person I just mentioned, do you think he is already the Tao?"
Everyone bowed their heads in contemplation, and the scene was silent for a while.
"Count!" Lu Xudaoren sighed, "This person can already start a mountain and establish a sect, and he will be immortal!"
Yang Xiaotian nodded and smiled, and said: "What's the matter, as long as we have achieved the extreme, take sword cultivation as an example, the way of the sword has gone to the extreme, then he can get the Tao, open the sky with a sword, shatter the void, it is not a problem; ”
"Huh?!"
There are many martial artists in the field, and I have never heard of martial artists who can also be successful in cultivating, but listening to this young man's explanation, it seems to work, and the avenue is promising, and I can't help but be grateful to the young man.
"The weather is swinging, and my road is prosperous!"
Yang Xiaotian said the last sentence, quickly returned to the table, and said to Mei Shengqiu: "Old Mei, why are you stunned!
Mei Shengqiu has seen countless literary and Taoist competitions, never seen such a scene, the past debate has become today's one-person talk, and every word he said is secretly in line with the opportunity of the avenue, he has secretly sighed every day during this time that he is getting older and older, seeing that the limit is approaching, and he is helpless, listening to these remarks of this young man today, it seems that as long as he goes to the extreme in the rune, maybe there is also the possibility of breaking the sky with the rune, there is really that moment, why should he lament that his time is short.
"Let's go!"
Mei Shengqiu laughed.
