Chapter 301: Confucianism and Taoism
In the Demon King Village, the Great Sage of Pingtian looked at Xue Qianxun and said, "When you come back this time, do you feel any changes?"
Xue Qianxun thought about it and said with a smile: "The master is more beautiful." ”
The Great Sage of Pingtian glanced around, and then said, "Seriously." ”
Xue Qianxun said: "The change is actually quite big, many familiar children have grown so big, many fox clans of the same age have married and had children, and the old goat grandfather seems to be a lot older, and there are still a few more villages?"
Pingtian Dasheng smiled: "I remember that you promised to teach that group of children to read, and now they are slowly learning, you promised the old goat, when he is eight hundred years old, give him a unique birthday, and now the day is coming, you won't break your promise again, right?"
Hearing this, Xue Qianxun was embarrassed, and said helplessly: "Oh, Master, people are not lazy, aren't they going out to do business!"
Pingtian Dasheng said: "Then this time you are back, it is time to cash in, right? More than four months later, it will be the old goat's birthday, you should prepare well during this time." ”
"Yes, yes!"
After Xue Qianxun finished speaking, her face suddenly became a little strange, she felt that something was wrong, and shook her head again: "It doesn't seem to work, I... I... I should go back to Chang'an..."
Pingtian Great Sage said: "What are you doing when you go back to Chang'an?"
"That's... I... I don't know either, but ......"
Xue Qianhiro stammered, never giving a reason.
Pingtian Great Sage's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Are you going to participate in that bullshit mission? Is that a mission? It's just going to die! Zhen Yuanzi, that old dog, shouldn't tell you about this." ”
Xue Qianxun said: "Zhen Yuanzi's predecessor didn't force us to go, he just mentioned it to us." ”
"Fart!"
Pingtian Great Sage said directly: "That old dog is very shrewd, knowing that after you get the news, he is likely to go, but he still told you about it." If he doesn't want to let you go, you won't know. ”
Xue Qianxun smiled bitterly: "Okay, Master, I think Zhen Yuanzi's predecessors are right, we have paid so much to save Master Xuanzang, and we have been in danger again and again, but we don't tell us when we get the news, this is unreasonable." ”
Pingtian Great Sage snorted: "I don't care so much, this time you will honestly stay in Demon King Mountain for me, you can't go anywhere, you can fight if you want to, you can fight some battles in the future, if you miss this time or twice, it won't get in the way." ”
Xue Qianhiro was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "No... No, Master, then it's useless for me to stay in the mountains. ”
Pingtian Great Sage said: "You are useful when you go out, or do you really want to die, you have lived enough?"
Xue Qianxun said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I want to think about it myself and make my own decision when the time comes." ”
"The decision is that you are not allowed to go anywhere if you stay in Demon King Mountain. “
The Great Sage of Pingtian directly gave an ultimatum.
Xue Qianhiro hurriedly said: "That's not good, I... If I don't go... That world, Master Xuanzang ......"
The Great Sage of Pingtian said proudly: "What are you afraid of? When the sky falls, I will block you, don't you do everything the same, you must go out on an adventure?"
Xue Qianxun said: "But you are you, I am me, Master, you can't keep managing me like this." ”
Pingtian Dasheng said: "Other things are easy to discuss, but this matter is not customary." ”
Hearing this, Xue Qianhiro sighed deeply and was full of sadness.
Jiangnan, the Murong family.
Murong Clan shouted loudly in the room: "Quick! Bai'er come and see! Which style is better?"
"What style?"
Mu Zibai walked in slowly, saw a pile of red things on the desk, and then his pupils constricted, and he said in a trembling voice: "Invitation? Marriage Invitation? Who is this? Why are so many people suddenly married?"
Murong said: "Oh Bai'er, what are you pretending to be confused with your mother, of course this is your marriage card for the girl who reconciled Yu, can you see which one is more suitable?"
Mu Zibai only felt that the sky was dark, and muttered: "Mother, we have only been back for two days, this is ......"
"It doesn't matter!"
Murong said with a smile: "Although you have only been back for two days, you have been together for more than two years, and you have been together every day, have you made a private decision for life?"
The last four words sounded in Mu Zibai's mind like thunder, and he only felt that the world was spinning, and he turned his head and left.
When he walked to the door, Old Man Murong also blocked him, and said with a smile: "Bai'er, you are also here, that's right, you come to the staff officer, is it Murong Li, or Murong Yu? Or is it Murong Pei? Murong Li, Murong Tang, you can tell me which one is better." ”
Mu Zibai was stunned and said, "This, what is this?"
Old man Murong smiled: "You can't even guess this, of course it's my grandson, your son's name." ”
"Your grandson, my son?"
Rao is Mu Zibai's quiet temperament couldn't help but be startled, and said, "What my son, I don't have a son." ”
Old man Murong laughed and said: "After worshipping the hall and becoming a relative, I will slowly have it after entering the cave room, I will have a few more of them, and I will need them in the future." ”
Mu Zibai felt that he was about to suffocate, and he hurriedly said loudly: "Father and mother, if it is undecided today and the people are unsettled, I really don't have this heart, and I should wait until the world is peaceful to talk about it." ”
"All day long I know that I am clamoring for peace in the world. ”
Murong said loudly: "When that time comes, I'm afraid that your mother will die of old age, how can I have time to take care of your children." ”
Mu Zibai opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute, and finally said loudly: "Actually, this time I came back to say goodbye." ”
The old man Murong was stunned and stayed for a long time before Murong said, "Bai'er, what do you mean by this?"
Mu Zibai said solemnly: "The True God War is over, all parties have been damaged, the world pattern has entered the stage of stalemate, we have a very important task to do, but we are not sure of its danger, so we are still hesitating to go or not to go." ”
Murong asked cautiously, "That... Just how dangerous is that mission?"
"Let's die. ”
After speaking, Mu Zibai thought about it, and then changed his words: "Maybe it's ten deaths." ”
Hearing this, Murong Shi hurriedly said loudly: "If you don't go, you don't go, you want to lose your life, what are you going to do?" It's better to marry a wife and have children at home honestly, the girl is so good-looking, why aren't you impressed." ”
Master Murong sighed deeply and said, "Alas, Bai'er, you really disappointed your father. ”
Mu Zibai said helplessly: "Xie Yu and I are in love with each other, but we both have the intention of saving the common people, so we have never thought about marriage, and we also have a tacit understanding in our hearts, and neither of them will mention it." If the world is peaceful in the future, it will naturally come naturally. ”
"Have ideals! Good boy, proud of your father!"
Old Man Murong praised: "Save the people in the world, and the saint's trip is also." ”
"What a saint!"
Murong Clan hurriedly said: "Master, you want to die, didn't you hear?
Old Man Murong frowned and said, "What will happen if this task is successful?"
Mu Zibai said: "That Xuanzang will go to the West Tianling Mountain to obtain the Tibetan Sutra and benefit my Tang Dynasty people." ”
"I don't care what I do, I know my son can't die. ”
Murong kicked Old Man Murong and said, "Master, you have something to say." ”
Old man Murong said solemnly: "I want the fish, and the bear's paw is also what I want, and you can't have both, and the one who gives up the fish and takes the bear's paw is also." ”
When Murong heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "Master, you can't talk any more!"
Old man Murong also showed the demeanor of a Confucian talent at this moment, looked at the roof and said loudly: "I can give birth to what I want, righteousness is also what I want, you can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also." ”
Mu Zibai raised his head, his eyes were surprised, as if he knew his father on the first day.
Murong grabbed the placket of Old Man Murong's clothes, gritted his teeth and said, "Old immortal, you are trying to harm my son, the old lady will fight with you." ”
Old man Murong covered his head and said loudly: "I, a Confucian disciple, should worship the words of Meng Sheng, die for the common people, sacrifice life and take righteousness, and leave a name for eternity, why not?"
"What name will be left for eternity, I know that I only have this one son, surnamed Murong, I will fight with you today. ”
The two of them quarreled, and from time to time let out the screams of Old Man Murong.
And Mu Zibai's brain was buzzing, but it was all the two sentences that his father had read just now.
I give birth to what I want, righteousness also I want, you can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also.
He muttered as the confusion in his eyes faded and became clearer.
He took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, walked out of the room, and flew directly towards Hua Jieyu.
He wanted an answer, and he wanted to know what Hua Jieyu thought about this matter, because he understood that he was not alone now, and he couldn't just think about the Tao in his heart.
That doesn't mean much to me. ”
Hua Xie Yu sighed and said, "Maybe it's because I'm not a Confucian disciple, so I'm not shocked, I'm a Taoist disciple, and I'm even more shocked by a kind of Tao." ”
Mu Zibai said: "What way?"
Hua Xie said softly: "Yin and yang rotate, endlessly. ”
She walked slowly, pushed forward with both hands, and pushed out a yin-yang taiji diagram, and she said softly: "As this yin-yang taiji diagram shows, when yang continues to grow and reaches an extreme, it will evolve into yin, and when yin reaches the extreme, it will evolve into yang." ”
This is just like when a dynasty is strong to the extreme, there will be decline, but when an era is decayed to the extreme, it will gradually recover, and everything is the rotation of yin and yang. ”
She stroked her hair and said softly: "This mission, shrouded in death, is both a spirit ruin and a faceless, and the mysterious ancient demon, when all the death factors are gathered together and reach the extreme, it is vitality. ”
"Therefore, I think that this mission is not to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, but to die at the end of one's life, which is also called to put one's life on the ground and live after. ”
"I feel like we can make it and come out alive. ”
After hearing this, Mu Zibai finally laughed and said: "Whether it is Confucianism or Taoism, at least our goal is the same, that is, to break through this so-called dead hole. ”
Hua Xie Yu smiled: "Yes, go and break through." ”
