Chapter 214: To do or not to do
Daozang, a collection of Taoist classics in Dacheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There are 72 Taoist collections, all of which are tomes.
Reading through the 72 Taoist collections can make people know the nature of the universe on the outside and the cycle of life and death on the inside. It can make a person who does nothing become a great virtuous person who is compassionate to the world and compassion for all sentient beings. can make a butcher with blood on his hands repent, and walk without hurting the life of ants.
Niu Hao didn't even know a word, so of course he couldn't read such a profound Taoist assembly.
That's why Zhengyan gave the bookworm he raised to Niu Hao.
Where do bookworms come from?
According to legend, bookworms are those nerds who like to read, and the missing spirit is condensed.
In the Taoist hall, or in the private academy where the book collector is addicted, in the dead of night, you will always hear the sandflies singing at the bell.
The larger the academy, the more bells and insects will sing. Following the loud and rhythmic chirping of the insect, a lamp was placed nearby, a large collection of books was opened, and the bookworm himself was waiting for it to be delivered to the door.
Bookworms read, but bookworms don't eat books.
Bookworms collect dust from the academy for food, and the dew from the cold night quenches their thirst.
So as soon as the bookworm follows the light, it its fingers and squeezes the blood droplets to feed it.
If a bookworm eats your blood, it will be naturalized by you and become your bookworm.
Zhengyan raises bookworms, not Zhengyan is also illiterate.
Literate. It's just that he is good at martial arts and is not good at writing, and he always can't learn well in pre-afternoon literature classes on weekdays. So Zhengyan raised a bookworm, and when he meditated at night, he let the bookworm read to him and tutor in literature lessons.
In the pre-afternoon Chinese class, six disciples of the upper court sat together, each with a copy of the Taoist collection in front of them, and took turns to read it aloud, after which everyone expressed their opinions, discussed and argued.
Niu Hao has a bookworm to help.
The bookworm reads, and the voice reaches Niu Hao's ears, and Niu Hao just repeats it.
In this way, at least he avoided the embarrassment of being ridiculed by his brothers for not being literate.
Niu Hao can learn from the bookworm and read the words on the book. The bookworm wouldn't tell Niu Hao what those words meant.
Niu Hao himself can't understand the profound Taoist achievements.
"Do nothing, do what you do, do what you don't do. ”
What does this mean?
Is it to "for" or "not for"?
What makes Niu Hao angry is that if you have something to say, you can't say it well, do you have to say it so awkwardly, people are confused!
Fortunately, the senior brother was looking at treating people generously, and knew that Niu Hao was struggling to solve the problem, so he only asked Niu Hao to read it out loud, and then they each spoke and discussed it together.
Zheng Si cleared his throat and spoke:
"Heaven endures, humanity lives. We can't use human actions to change the nature of heaven and earth. To do so is contrary to the way of heaven. What we can do is to change our actions and conform to the way of heaven. ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Niu Hao deeply.
Niu Hao could see that Zhengsi was explaining this sentence to himself. It's just that this condescending appearance makes Niu Hao very uncomfortable.
Niu Hao asked:
"What is the Heavenly Dao?"
Zhengsi looked at Niu Hao with his mouth open.
This question is too superficial.
You asked such a simple question, and I really didn't know how to answer it all of a sudden.
With a snow-white face, with a cold look, he said to Niu Hao:
"The cold comes and the summer comes, the sun sets and the moon rises, and the natural cycle is the way of heaven. ”
Niu Hao asked again:
"So what is humanity?"
This time, it was Zhengwen's turn to look at Niu Hao steadily, not knowing how to answer.
Zhengsi took Niu Hao's question and replied:
"People, mothers and fathers, marriages, funerals, and marriages are humane. If you learn, you will know, and if you don't learn, you will have no worries. Doing good and doing evil to become a king and defeat a king can be described as humane. ”
Niu Hao recalled the passage that Zhengsi had just explained to himself, the way of heaven is eternal and humane. Then he said:
"There are good and bad people, and there are big and small bad people. The hooligans on the streets and alleys are considered bad people, and all they do is to bully honest people and find fault and fight. I have encountered robbers who block the road and rob people, not to mention money, and often take people's lives, and that is also a bad person. ”
Zhengsi and Zhengwen all looked at Niu Hao, not knowing what this big man who relied on bookworm teleprompters to read, wanted to say.
On the seat, Zhengguan Zhengyan and Zhengxin also looked at Niu Hao, wanting to hear Niu Hao's opinions.
Niu Hao continued:
"I've also seen the real big bad guys, who have killed countless people. The corpses under their feet were piled up like a mountain. Whatever the reason, he's a real bad guy. ”
Niu Hao asked towards Zhengsi and Zhengwen:
"If we encounter such a bad person, should we do anything? Or do we follow the way of heaven and do nothing?"
Zhengwen looked at Niu Hao, and said with suspicion for a while:
"Mountains of corpses lead to bloody killings? Have you seen such things with your own eyes, or is it hearsay?"
Of course, this kind of thing has not really happened in these years.
Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, the world is singing and dancing. The Chen family's mansion in Qingyang City was destroyed, which was already a shocking case, and the government and the opposition were shaken.
But this incident was seen by Niu Hao with his own eyes.
In Qingyang City, the body of the biological mother.
Zhengguan opened his mouth and said:
"Let's not talk about when such a thing happened, the question of Senior Brother Zhengxing is very good. As a Taoist disciple, when you encounter such a devastating and discipline-destroying thing, do you have to stand up or stand idly by?"
Watching the voice land, Zhengyan had already spoken:
"How can you sit idly by? When you encounter this kind of thing, of course, you have to stand up. Even if you give up your own life, you have to fight to the end!"
After speaking, he felt that he was still unsatisfied, and Zhengyan said:
"Isn't what we have to do is to maintain the harmony of heaven and the way of humanity. ”
With a cold look, Zhengwen said to Zhengyan:
"What if the bloody killing was originally part of the Heavenly Dao cycle?
Zhengyan glared and replied:
"So what? Anyway, I'm not going to sit idly by. ”
Zhengwen also glared at Zhengyan and said sharply:
"With humanity, in the face of heaven, of course, there is something to do and something not to do. If you use the small strength of a human being to block the Heavenly Dao cycle, can you count it as a mayfly shaking the tree mantis arm to block the car?"
The mayfly shakes the tree mantis arm to block the car?
Zhengyan was said by Zhengwen, and he didn't know how to refute it all of a sudden, and his face was black and red. A sentence came out in the middle of the night:
"Anyway, I'm not going to be a shrunken turtle!"
Zhengwen hummed and sneered and said:
"Even if you succeed as a hero, what will the result be. The Heavenly Dao cycle cannot be stopped, and the bloody slaughter will continue. Your strong actions can't change the way of heaven and inaction. In exchange, all you get is your own ashes!"
At this point, it has nothing to do with reasoning with facts. Keep going, there will definitely be a fight.
Zhengguan was about to speak, but Zhengsi preemptively said:
"I thought Senior Brother Zhengxing was a reckless and rough person, but it seems that I was wrong. ”
