Chapter 1168: Resist the Tiger

There is a saying that 'a gentleman is not a party', and a group of parties will inevitably not be able to maintain spiritual independence, so it is necessary to sacrifice oneself and obey others. And the wisdom of the people cannot be on the same line, so a group has to be virtuous, Shangtong, or take the leader and horse as the leader.

Like Mozi, Tian Heng, Song Jiang and others, they promise each other with righteousness and righteousness, live and die together, and there is no merit. However, a group neither allows nor can have talent and intelligence above the leader, and it is naturally difficult to continue to grow and rise.

The Mo family was divided after a few rumors, and it was unknown for a while. Tian Heng's five hundred soldiers can die with one heart, but they can't compete with Liu and Xiang in the world. Although "Water Margin" is a family dialect, the rise and fall of Shuibo Liangshan is all on Song Jiang alone, Liangshan is strong because of Song Jiang, and Song Jiang's thoughts are just Zhao'an, although everyone has different opinions, because they obey Song Jiang as a person, they can only live and die.

'Seal your wife and serve the court', this is the best way out that Song Jiang can think of. "Water Margin" claims to be loyal and righteous, and it seems to be all about this change. In fact, the understanding of loyalty and righteousness in later generations has been shallow and narrow, Zhu Zi said, 'Do your best to be loyal', Mencius said, 'Words do not have to be believed, deeds do not have to be fruitful, but righteousness is there'.

Zeng Zi three times thought about his body, and said: "Seek for others but not be loyal?" The ancient saying is that being entrusted is a matter of loyalty. It is not necessary for the monarch and the minister to be loyal. Moreover, the monarch and the minister are only a subordinate relationship, the monarch does not refer exclusively to the king, and the minister does not refer exclusively to the ministers. Later generations advocated civil rights, believing that the morality of loyalty did not need to be mentioned, but those who did not know that the loyal did their own thing, which was their own requirements, and there was no specific object.

Confucius said benevolence, Mencius said righteousness, the so-called benevolence is righteousness, benevolence is the inner belief, righteousness is the standard of action, not between friends there is righteousness or unrighteousness.

'Words do not have to be believed, deeds do not have to be fruitful', faith and fruit are only second-class morality compared with benevolence and righteousness, and benevolence and righteousness are needed to control it. Otherwise, even if you believe in it, you may not be in accordance with righteousness.

Song Jiang has the so-called 'doing the right thing for the sky', acting for the sky is for loyalty, doing the way is for righteousness, and it is to be able to do the right thing for the sky, so it can be called loyal and righteous, and it is not necessary to recruit An Fang as a loyal minister and righteous man.

Song Jiang and his ilk want to do the right thing for heaven, so what is heaven and what is the way? Lao Tzu said, 'Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs.'" Xunzi said, 'Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death'. None of them are the days that Song Jiang wants to be loyal to.

The heaven that Song Jiang wants to replace is the heaven of 'heaven sees itself and the people see, and heaven listens to itself and the people listen', and 'what the people want, heaven will follow it'. It is the heaven that rewards the good and punishes the evil, and upholds justice. The emperor is known as the Son of Heaven, so he should follow the will of Heaven and act for Heaven.

Song Jiang is reckless in the rivers and lakes, and if he wants to do the right thing for heaven, he will undoubtedly lose his way to the imperial court.

Cases of official coercion and rebellion by the people are everywhere in the long river of history, and the result is either like Fang La and his ilk being suppressed by the imperial court, or like Song Jiang and his ilk recruiting An. There are very few stars who can really change the dynasty. The court was tyrannical and unkind, and the people rose up to resist, which is of course just and reasonable. But this kind of justice cannot be done under the rule of the Tyranny.

Song Jiang knew that his own strength was not enough to change the dynasty, so he retreated to accept Zhao'an, which is also a common concept in the world, and he sang with the Ruan brothers, "Kill all the cool officials and stolen officials, and faithfully repay the Zhao official family." "It may also be that Emperor Zhao and Song have not yet reached the level of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of Sui, and the people have not yet lost confidence in the emperor, but only hate corrupt officials.

"The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time must be united", history is familiar in this kind of division and combination, and the cycle begins again and again. However, before the emergence of a more reasonable system, the change of dynasty can always last for two or three hundred years when the luck is strong.

Pei Duofei's poem 'Life is precious, but love is more valuable. If it is free, both can be thrown'. In life, some people pursue fame and fortune, some people pursue the realm of art, and practitioners pursue a kind of liberation.

However, how to achieve liberation, each Taoist art has different opinions. Zhuangzi's Tao is far away and has nothing to wait for, although it is free to wait, it also has some reliance, taking advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the change of the six qi. Don't eat grains, suck the wind and drink the dew, it's just that the clouds and wind and dew are endless, inexhaustible, and filled between heaven and earth, but you can get it without work.

On the contrary, they have some reliance, and they are all self-conscious. 'The wall stands a thousand thousands, and if there is no desire, it is rigid'. The Buddha said that the root of the eight sufferings in life also lies in desire.

'What is not gained, what is gained, what is gained, what is lost'. is too forgetful, and wants to be one of the seven feelings, and it is even more forgettable.

People have emotions and reason, and forgetting feelings is not ruthless, but controlling emotions with reason, Taoism's inaction, Buddhism's inaction, nothing more than extreme reason to despise worldly disputes. Zhuangzi's so-called brute touch the horns of the snail is always the dispute in the world, but that's it.

Taoism is a rational school, Mozi is a heel to benefit the world, Mozi's disciples are accustomed to attacking and fighting, shirtless, it can really be described as a heartless heart. Even Zhuangzi, who does not bury his wife and sings with a drum and basin, said that Mozi is good in the world.

Lao Tzu said again, repay grievances with virtue. The Buddhists sacrifice themselves to feed the tiger, and love the enemy as themselves, and this feeling is too heavy. The power of influence is sometimes poor, and the full-time emotion is like cutting off its own minions, and it will surely destroy itself and cannot survive forever in the world.

Confucianism advocates benevolence and righteousness, doing something and not doing something. It's a good combination of both. There are few dynasties in history that can maintain peace and stability for a long time, and the Confucian scholars must determine their scale.

Confucius said, 'Yin is due to the summer ceremony, and the profit and loss can be known.' Zhou is due to Yin Li, and the profit and loss can be known'. Although the attack on the system may not have great success, at least it can rest with the people. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the rule of Huang Lao was wise.

Lao Tzu said, 'I don't know what is usual, I act in vain'. Not to be presumptuous is its strength. Inaction is its shortcoming. If nothing is done, the government will lose its function.

Ming Qin can be regarded as a cultivator since childhood, although he does not have a high realm, and he is not very keen on fame and fortune. As the so-called lock of fame and fortune, as soon as you step into the door of fame and fortune, you will inevitably feel like a servant, suffer from gains and losses, and there is no self-reliance at all.

Cultivation is a lonely thing, and if you plan for it, there is naturally no need to form a group. After Ming Qin arrived in the immortal world, although he had contact with some Taoist sects, he just learned some exercises, and he was not very interested in his Taoism.

The Taoist sects in the world are often the same and different parties, and the competition is fierce. Of course, there are many realms in the world, and not only Taoism. Human beings are able to stand on their own feet in the world because of the group path, but the disputes in the world often come from the group way, and it is the spiritual independence and self-consciousness that are the focus of the practitioners.

The Golden Crow Sect is just similar to the Divine Light Sect and the Blood Shadow Sect, with a mix of teachings and no special cleverness.

Although Ming Qin can be submissive for a while, Wei Zhenyi and Luo Yongyan are not easy to follow, once they join the Golden Crow Sect, don't want to get out easily.

"I don't know much about the teachings of your religion, so let me study it and ask my wife for advice. ”

Luo Yongyan was stunned, she opened her mouth several times to invite, but Ming Qin was unmoved, Luo Yongyan was really a little depressed. The teachings of the Golden Crow Sect were created by the Venerable Master of the Golden Crow, and they are known as the most wonderful way and incomparable. It's understandable that Ming Qin wants to find out first.

"The sect leader ordered me to take down the dock fort of Sleeping Crane within three days, the matter is urgent. There are quite a few Taoist masters around Mianhe, and I don't know if Hai Shao is willing to help me. ”

Ming Qin refused to obey, Luo Yongyan could only give up, and directly explained his intentions, Mianhe was guarded by Long Po and Shenyu, and Luo Yongyan naturally wanted to find more cultivators to help.

"Madame summons, how dare you disobey below. ”

Ming Qin learns that Shen Yu is the sister of the Mirage King and is trying to get the mirage blood from her. Just be a favor and follow Luo Yongyan.

"That's very good. Without further ado, how about we get out of town?"

Luo Yong's words and deeds were in a hurry, Mianhe was the governor of Haishi after all, Haishi fell, Mianhe begged for help everywhere, it is said that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been recruited to come to the rescue, if it is uniformly dispatched by Shenyu, it will definitely be a big trouble for the Jinwu Sect.

Luo Yongyan brought a few Ming Qin, and his confidence increased greatly, Ming Qin refused to join the Golden Crow Sect, Luo Yongyan was not angry in his heart, thinking that letting Luo Qi and Tong Jiaoru join the Golden Crow Sect first, it was also a good helper.

The chariot was prepared outside the plum garden, and the sleeping crane withdrew very hastily, leaving behind a large number of weapons, thousands of chariots, and the Golden Crow Sect gained a lot.

Luo Yongyan motioned for everyone to get into the car, and she drove herself, roaring, and leaving the dust.

The vehicles and ships of the Dragon Realm are similar to those of the Immortal Realm, and their speed is extremely fast, far from being comparable to the extraordinary. Similar to animals, these vehicles and boats can be burned into gas and glow with powerful power.

The energy of the fairy world is rich and diverse, including demon blood, spirit stones, essence stones, spiritual springs and the like. These energies have also been used in the Dragon Realm for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that the Dragon Realm had long since disappeared and there were not many records left, the level of its Dao skills would definitely not be below the Immortal Realm.

The chariot driven by Luo Yongyan is called the Flying Tram, which is different from the Immortal Realm Iron Armor Immortal Car, which mostly consumes demon blood, and the Flying Tram's array stores thunder and lightning, and it is like a flash of lightning, which is incredibly fast.

Ma and Chi are both wealthy gentry in Rakshasa Sea City, and there are many estates. After Mianhe escaped from Haishi City, the two families actively cooperated with Mianhe to clean up the defeated and remnants, gathered people and horses in the dock fort of the Ma family, and the troops recovered.

Mianhe appointed Gao Junfu as the marshal, Ma Rulong as the left marshal, and Shen Yu as the right marshal, while repairing the fort dock and preparing for a counterattack. While asking the court for help, he recruited troops and horses to rush to reinforcements.

Luo Yongyan is the envoy of the Golden Arrow, and this is just to find out the details, and how to use the soldiers can only be determined after discussing with Wei Zhenyi.

The Golden Crow Sect took the Rakshasa Sea City in one fell swoop, recruited troops, increased tens of thousands of troops, and had a new atmosphere and a good momentum. But the Rakshasa Sea City is only the first righteousness, and if the other leaders of the Golden Crow Sect can't respond positively, the Rakshasa Sea City will become the target of everyone, but I'm afraid it won't last long.

A few people stayed in the plum garden for the past few days, and they didn't know much about the situation of the Jinwu Sect. The Mirage Dragon King hit a wall in front of Wei Zhenyi, and returned to the Seven Star Reef angrily, the Mirage Dragon Society and the Golden Crow Sect looked like they were separated, and several people helped Luo Yongyan attack the Governor's Mansion, which was a meritorious person, and the Golden Crow Sect was very cold to them, and everyone was naturally uncomfortable.

Wu Sichen said with a smile: "I heard that your sect opened a warehouse in the city to release grain, which is very popular with the people, and has increased tens of thousands of troops. ”

Luo Yongyan's expression was solemn, and he naturally disagreed with Wu Sichen's statement, but he couldn't grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige.

The Golden Crow Sect captured the Rakshasa Sea City, the first battle was successful, and it should have been swept around with the momentum of victory, but the Rakshasa Sea City is the first rich and prosperous place in the Rakshasa country, and the leaders were in a hurry to recruit troops and horses, and asked for food and wages, and no one wanted to lead troops to him.

Wei Zhenyi learned that Mianhe was guarding the Majiabao dock and was less than fifty miles away from the Rakshasa Sea City, so he immediately dispatched troops and horses to attack. As a result, the engagement was lost, and a lot of losses were suffered.

Wei Zhenyi was furious when he heard the news, and now the news has not yet spread, otherwise it will affect the morale of the army. Wei Zhenyi asked Luo Yongyan to come in person, first, to check how the war was going, and second, to formulate a combat method.

Mianhe is the governor of Haishi, and not catching him is the biggest mistake. In addition, Kyoto is only two or three hundred miles away from the Rakshasa Sea City, and the Rakshasa Emperor has sent a forbidden army to suppress it when he learns that the Sea City has been lost.

If the forces of Mianhe cannot be defeated before the forbidden army arrives, and the two sides will be attacked, the pressure on Haishi City will inevitably increase.

"Sleeping cranes aren't my biggest worries. As you may not know, the Rakshasa Emperor was furious when he learned that the sea market had been lost. Forbidden troops have been dispatched to suppress it. Therefore, we must break the soldiers and horses of the sleeping crane before the forbidden army arrives. ”

Luo Yongyan also wants everyone to help, and he can't hide everything. The Rakshasa Emperor sent the forbidden army to suppress it, this is not a secret, these days in the city has been in a uproar, and the Golden Crow Sect is also stepping up training, preparing to fight a tough battle.

"There is such a thing. ”

Wu Sichen was slightly surprised, "The Rakshasa Emperor has long regarded Guijiao as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and it is reasonable to transfer troops to suppress it. I have long heard that the Protestant leader is eloquent and has many believers, and the Rakshasa Sea City has fought a battle, so is there no one in your sect to respond?"

Xin Wenli has been preaching for many years, and since the death of the two masters of the Golden Dome and the Dome, Xin Wenli is known as the Holy Sect Master, and claims to be the descendant of the Golden Dome Master. His Rakshasa Ghost Sect is also quite strong, and it is unique among the Golden Crow Sect.

The Rakshasa Ghost Sect claims to have hundreds of thousands of disciples, all over the country, and Wei Zhenyi is a close disciple of Xinwenli, the chief protector of the Dharma with one hand. He started an incident in Rakshasa Sea City, and the other leaders should respond positively.

However, the Rakshasa Ghost Sect is quite infighting, the three major protectors do not obey each other, Wei Zhenyi started an incident in the Rakshasa Sea City, and the other two Dharma protectors also led the crowd to fight with the Rakshasa official army, but the distance is quite far, and it is difficult to give strong support to the Rakshasa Sea City.

"Since the head of the sect initiated the righteous banner, there have been more than ten incidents in the country, and the scale is huge, shaking the Rakshasa court. It was the Rakshasa Emperor who sent the forbidden army to suppress it. ”

What Luo Yongyan didn't explain was that although the Rakshasa Ghost Sect had more than a dozen prescriptions to cause trouble, there were not many people who were willing to obey Wei Zhenyi's dispatch, which was equivalent to fighting for each other, and it was scattered. Rakshasa Sea City is the closest to Kyoto, but it has become a barrier for other forces, and it is a strong enemy alone.

There are sleeping cranes on the side, and there are forbidden troops attacking in the distance, and the situation is quite bad.

Wei Zhenyi asked his subordinates to attack Majiawu Fort, but he lost another battle and suffered a lot of losses.

"The Wei Sect Master is resourceful, and he won the Rakshasa Sea City in just a few days, which is really a masterpiece in the world. Although the forbidden army is numerous, it is expected that he must have a way to break the enemy, and the lady does not need to worry too much. ”

Wu Sichen is accustomed to flattery, and Luo Yongyan frowned when he said it, and his heart was quite useful.
