Chapter 458: Sermon (5)

"The ghost family and the demon family both talk about human nature, although the degree of emphasis is different, but it is very difficult to distinguish, I don't know where the Xiao Yi brothers want to start. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

At this time, on the Confucian platform, they all looked at Xiao Yi intently, and their minds followed closely in their minds, lest they miss a sentence. But seeing Xiao Yi pacing slowly and walking in the direction of the demon family, Ji Xiaocheng was worried.

Nangong Xiao Yi said: "Brother Xiao Yixian is often unexpected, I can't figure it out." ”

Shen Yirou suddenly said, "I believe in Brother Xiao!" There was blind reverence in his eyes.

Yu Linfeng couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw the appearance of the disciples, but he sighed secretly in his heart: "Confucianism has not produced amazing talents for a long time, if this person is a disciple of Confucianism, wouldn't the situation of Confucian internal strife be solved in the near future?"

At this time, I only heard Xiao Yi speak: "The Lord of Ten Thousand Valleys just said that although the demon family and the ghost family are talking about human nature, but in the matter of grievances, the ghost family is for 'profit', but the demon family is just for 'life'. ”

Wantian Demon said: "Yes, a life of benefit, a word difference, but the difference is very different." ”

Xiao Yi said: "What the Lord of Ten Thousand Valleys said is extremely true. However, Xiao Yi believes that the difference between the two does not stop there. ”

The Ten Thousand Heavenly Demon said: "Oh? ”

Xiao Yi said: "The demon family is for 'life', but from its own point of view, for 'life', no matter what, it is understandable; ”

Wan Tian Demon laughed and said, "What the virtuous nephew said is very right, Wan ignored this. ”

Everyone also suddenly felt a sense of surprise, and they couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts: "This son has a very high understanding, and if you listen to it once, you can find the similarities and differences between the two." ”

Xiao Yi smiled at the Ten Thousand Heavenly Demons and said, "Perhaps, people will think that after human beings are civilized, they have already been fundamentally different from beasts after being morally educated, and they should not be judged by the original nature of human beings. To equate humans with animals is to ignore the merits of human civilization. ”

Most people nodded secretly, but they had such doubts.

Xiao Yi suddenly asked: "However, have you ever thought that human beings have been morally nurtured for a long time, why did so many people agree with the theory of the demon family just now?"

The listener was shocked, asked himself, and felt even more puzzled, and couldn't help frowning.

Xiao Yi paused before saying, "In Xiao Yi's opinion, there should be two reasons. ”

Xiao Yi once again aroused the interest of all beings. This may seem like a small matter, but in fact it is very important. The heads of the families, and even the four people playing chess above the altar, listened attentively, ready to hear what the two reasons were.

I only heard Xiao Yi say: "First, more than half of the people in the world are living in a precarious predicament. The so-called, Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing and knows honor and disgrace. What is the use of morality if there is no solution to the problem of human life and clothing? ”

Hearing this, most of the people in the audience nodded their heads one after another, looking excited, as if to say, "That's right." ”

However, among the hundreds of schools, they all shook their heads and did not agree with their views. Especially the Nine Great Sects, as the rulers of Kyushu, heard that the people were not healthy enough and looked bad, and they were extremely unhappy.

It was the first time since Xiao Yi said that he had encountered such a situation. Seeing this, the Taoist disciples behind him couldn't help but feel nervous, worried, and hurriedly said: "Why did Senior Brother Xiao Yi say this, didn't this touch the anger of everyone? ”

However, Xiao Yi had already expected such a situation, knew it in his chest, and said calmly: "Perhaps, your fellow Daoists believe that under the protection of all families, the heavens and the earth are getting better and better, and the people are not knowing how many times happier than in the past. However, have you ever thought that whenever the heavens and the earth change and the world is turbulent, the people will inevitably bear the brunt of the disaster. ”

There was no need for Xiao Yi to speak, the family had already thought of the current attack of demon beasts, and they were speechless, and their emotions gradually stabilized.

Mo said that the large-scale invasion of demon beasts in Kyushu in recent years is the prosperity of the seemingly peaceful past, and there are always natural and man-made disasters.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. The same has been true since ancient times.

When this remark touched the pain points of the people, the people were so excited that they kept saying, "...... is right."

Xiao Yi said to the hundred schools of thought: "Yes, when the families think that the people are healthy enough, the people are still worried about their future, that is, for the sake of 'life'. The problem of 'life' has not yet been resolved, how can the people have the leisure to restrain their nature and sit on the road?"

Although the hundreds of schools of thought still disagree, they have no words to refute it.

Xiao Yi's tone was calm, as if he was telling a story to everyone, and he didn't mean to blame anyone, so everyone's minds were only on the topic, and there was no resentment.

Such a situation has never been seen in previous discourses. The Feng Junshi looked at this Taoist disciple from afar, and fell for his demeanor, and he already admired the five bodies to the ground.

Xiao Yi said: "However, then again, everyone can't be healthy, and the responsibility is not all on the families. ”

The families are thinking along their lines: "We have done our best, in addition to ensuring the well-being of the people, and have also taught them morality and etiquette, and have done a lot, but why can't we solve the basic problem of 'birth'?" But when they heard this, they suddenly wondered: "If the responsibility is not on us, who is on it?" In the hearts of the families, it is the responsibility of the families to protect the people, and if the people cannot be healthy, the responsibility is naturally on them.

However, although the families think like this at this time, if Xiao Yi says that the people can't be well-being, the families will be fully responsible, then the first reaction of the families will definitely be dissatisfied, and then they will refute it, and they will never look for their own problems again.

This is human nature.

Xiao Yi took retreat as advance, and inadvertently skillfully resolved the dissatisfaction of the families, which is no wonder that the palace master of the Jixia School Palace would say that Xiao Yi's grasp of human nature is slightly better than that of the ghost family.

The rich experience of entering and exiting in the test of "asking the past generations" is truly reflected at this time.

I only heard Xiao Yi say: "People are different, they are born with beauty and ugliness, strong and weak, smart and stupid, and there will be no absolute fairness in the world." It's like two brothers, the smart can ask the immortals, and the stupid can only work at home. There are always people in the world who are high with their own qualifications, and there are always people who are helpless at the bottom. That's the reality. ”

"Although the ruler is diligent and loves the people, he has redoubled his efforts to make the people's lives continue to improve. However, the people at the bottom are always 'precarious'. For example, no matter how scarce food is, there will always be people who will find a way to eat enough, and there will always be people who will starve to death because they can't do anything, but when the ruler makes great efforts to make everyone have enough to eat, the strong can easily live for more than a hundred years, and the weak will face the threat of death at any time because of many illnesses and difficulties. ”

"The universe evolves, natural disasters and man-made disasters never stop, and there are always weak people who are 'precarious'. Therefore, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to achieve a state of happiness for everyone in the world. ”

Xiao Yi said, and the audience was stunned.

Although these words exonerated the families, they also defeated the ambitions of the families to create a peaceful and prosperous world. However, there are Yin and Yang family's remarks about Shengde's uncomplaining world first, and then listening to this theory, although the family does not want to believe it, but it can still accept it.

The key is that the people have a strong reaction. The people are vulnerable, and they always have the dream that the ruler can make them live a good life, and Xiao Yi pulls it back to reality, how can their mood be calm? )
