Chapter 440: Revenge?
Today and tomorrow, the conference will enter the second stage, the discussion of the Tao.
Discourse is different from preaching, and all disciples can come forward and speak as much as they can explain their own way.
Of course, there are many genres on the scene, and if they all talk about it, it will not be enough for ten days and a half months. So, the predecessors set a rule:
After the host decided on the topic of the Dao, except for the nine major schools, each family first wrote their own ideas on the bamboo slips and handed them over to the host. After that, the host will inspect together with the remaining nine major sects. Only those who have unique ideas can be selected and participate in the discourse. If you advocate mediocrity, or if you clearly plagiarize the words of others, you will be disqualified. Finally, the host announced the list of selected genres and discussed them in turn.
Although there are many schools of thought, most of them are biased towards skills, and those whose ideas can be called unique, except for the nine major schools, there are few left. Moreover, after the efforts of countless generations of ancestors, all ideas have basically become complete. These schools of thought that were able to participate in the discourse already represented the mainstream of thought in Kyushu.
In this way, eight out of ten schools of thought are gone, and they often end early in less than two days.
Although the number of participants is small and the time is short, this stage is the real climax of the Hundred Schools of Thought Conference. The cultures of various schools are diverse, and various ideas collide, and the breadth of Chinese culture is fully displayed here.
Most of them, such as music, medicine, business, and scholars, although they can't come forward to talk about the Tao, but after hearing the different ideas of the families, and confirming them with their own ways, they can further improve their own ways, and maybe create a new world.
In fact, tracing back to their origins, many schools of thought have developed under the influence of these mainstream ideas.
The Conference of 100 Schools of Thought not only makes the people hear the Tao, but also enables the 100 schools of thought to learn and understand the Tao themselves, which is the meaning of the Conference.
After Changjing Zhenren explained today's rules clearly, he said: "When it is my turn to talk about Taoism, I must not rush up, lose my dignity, and make people laugh. If you can't express the meaning of the belly by stealing, you can tell others about the belly manuscript in advance, and others can do it for you. As he spoke, he looked at Lu Weidao, obviously afraid that he would be afraid of heights.
Before leaving, Changjing Zhenren finally said: "The Dao Conference is related to the reputation of each family, and many family heads may be present at that time. Everyone must do their best to promote the Dharma of my Taoism. ”
All the disciples shouted in unison: "Carry forward my Taoist method!"
After coming to the venue, the Buddhist master Likong briefly explained the rules again, which was consistent with what Changjing Zhenren said, and then threw out the title of this year's discourse: "Repay virtue?
The Changqing Taoist said with a smile: "How to repay virtue and how to repay grievances? All factions have laws to follow, and this is not a new topic. The topic of this year's discourse is not difficult. ”
Changjing Zhenren said: "Maybe Master Empty did it on purpose. ”
The Changqing Taoist said: "Senior brother is saying that the Buddhists want to resolve the anger of the peasants seeking revenge through the Tao?"
Changjing is humane: "It's not impossible, otherwise, as soon as the conference ends, the farmers and ghosts will inevitably fight." If not, there may be many schools involved. ”
The Changqing Daoist paused and said, "I hope the peasant family will listen." ”
As the Changqing Taoist said, this topic has been established, there is no need to worry about it, each family writes very quickly, and all of them are handed in in a moment.
The Changqing Taoist did not forget to turn back and teach his disciples: "Although there is a law to follow on this topic, but the world's Taoist theory is endless, you still have to think deeply and meditate, continue to explore, and must not be lazy." ”
All the disciples said in unison: "The disciple understands. ”
At this time, I only heard Master Kong say: "Next, please invite the Nine Great Sects to come to the stage to decide the list of Daoists." ”
After the sound, he saw that Sun Boyo, Yu Linfeng and others had already gotten up and flew to the high platform in the middle, but Changjing Zhenren was sitting upright and didn't move.
Xiao Yi thought that Changjing Zhenren hadn't paid attention, and was just about to remind him, when he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and there was already a figure in front of the stage.
Xiao Yi was shocked, instinctively took a step back, and looked at it, it was actually a real person in Changyang.
When all the disciples saw Changyang Zhenren coming, they were all overjoyed and paid their respects.
Changyang Zhenren smiled, waved his hand, and said, "No courtesy." Then he turned and flew towards the high platform.
The disciples immediately became excited, discussing with each other to repay virtue and grievances, and the atmosphere was very good.
Xiao Yi frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
When Changyang Zhenren turned around, he felt that Changyang Zhenren had looked at him specifically, and there was no kindness in his eyes.
After that night, there was an irreparable estrangement between him and Changyang Zhenren. He had to guard against Changyang Zhenren everywhere, and Changyang Zhenren must also be keeping an eye on him everywhere.
At present, you can still be patient, and how to get along after returning to Taoism is a difficult problem. When I think of this, I can't help but feel worried.
At this time, he heard the Changqing Taoist say: "The Yin and Yang family has Chu Tian present, so it's just that Zou Xun doesn't come." The Confucian Ji Hongren and the ghost family Guiguzi are a little arrogant, and they don't even participate in such grand events. ”
When Xiao Yi heard this, he hurriedly looked at the high platform of the Buddhist family. I saw that the nine chairs placed in the center of the stage were all full, and it was obvious that the nine gates had been dispatched. But after a closer look, I found that the people sitting on the chairs of the Mo family, the famous family, and the demon family were very unfamiliar and had never seen them.
But judging from the age and bearing of the three people, there is no doubt that they should be the heads of each family, and they can't help but be shocked: "In addition to the three families of Confucianism, ghosts, and yin and yang, the nine gates have sent the heads of the six families. It is quite surprising that the Discussion Conference is so important. ”
The nine major sects reviewed the bamboo slips in turn, and each time one was determined, it was written on the list by the person who was affiliated with the family. After about a stick of incense, the list was completed, but there were only more than 30 families, and the law family and the farmer family were impressively listed.
Xiao Yi originally thought that the novelist Wan Jia's words were superb and he would definitely be on the list, but he didn't expect it to backfire. He turned his head to look and saw that the Wanjiayan feather fan was shaking gently, his eyes were slightly closed, so uncomfortable, obviously he didn't write bamboo slips at all. I couldn't help but feel sorry for it, and said in my heart: "Mr. Wan is full of wealth, if you don't talk about the topic, you are really buried." ”
But then he thought: "Novelists mainly listen to biographies, and even if they have high opinions, they should not argue with others." Wan Jiayan's move is to abide by the family rules and truly inherit the way of the novel. Ignoring fame and fortune, living in poverty, such an act makes us ashamed. ”
After the people of the Nine Great Sects returned, the Buddhist master said loudly: "According to the previous practice, my Buddhism will discuss the Tao first, and throw bricks and stones for the various sects. Then, starting from the Yangzhou Yin and Yang family located in the southeast, from east to west, the Tao is discussed in turn. Each family should not exceed a quarter of an hour's limit, and each family is expected to follow the rules. ”
In accordance with the usual practice, the discussion was opened by the host and then proceeded in order according to the direction of the host. Because the current host Buddhist family occupies the central position of Kyushu, it is still impossible to determine the order after taking the lead. So, just now, the remaining eight families drew lots, and finally determined that the Yin and Yang family would appear second.
Seeing that the factions had no objections, Master Fang retreated. Master Yun, the first seat of the Buddhist Prajna Hall, immediately stepped forward and recited in a loud voice, "Nan Wu Amitabha", and then began to discuss the Tao.
