......
Not long after, Tai Bai Xing led a group of immortals to arrive, "Dao Jun don't come unharmed!"
I arched my hand: "It's okay, there are no parts missing." ”
"Daojun has been gone for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and I miss it very much. Several immortals who had good personal relations laughed.
I went down to earth for a whole week this time, and 49 days have passed in heaven. I also smiled and said, "I miss and miss, what are you busy with these days?"
Zhuge Liang replied: "There is nothing else except the court and the Tao." ”
"Why didn't Mr. Zhuge inform Daojun of the good news of killing the top four of the Vermilion Bird Palace Mahjong Tournament?" Lu Dongbin stabbed Zhuge Liang on the side.
"What are you still doing with that tournament?" I amused, and then asked, "Who won the championship in the end?"
Lu Dongbin pointed out one by one: "Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Guiguzi, and Sun Wu reached the top four, and then fought for more than a month, and so far there has been no victory." ”
"Awesome!" I admired. A table of mahjong has been played for more than a month without winning or losing, and these old monsters who are good at yin and yang arithmetic and art of war deduction can do it.
"Dao Jun just came back today and convened all the immortals to discuss the matter, but there has been progress in the matter of preaching in the Netherworld?" Tai Bai Xing led the topic to the right path.
"Come on, come on, everyone please come in first. I led the immortals into the main hall of the Vermilion Bird Palace, pointed to the ten large round tables and said, "Let's have a round table meeting today, regardless of the immortal rank, and eat hot pot in the group! Don't eat and talk, sit down." ”
"Roundtable?"
"Eating hot pot?" hot pot should be a modern term, and I don't know when this way of eating originated, anyway, these immortals all have an inexplicable expression. I didn't explain it, but I'll know when it's served.
I stood up and glanced around, and asked aloud, "What I want to discuss in today's meeting is the question I left before I left: What is the driving force and source of human progress?"
Confucius said: "It is a system of etiquette." ”
Lao Tzu said: "It's morality." ”
Zou Yan said: "It's yin and yang. ”
......
For a while, there were different opinions. I smiled faintly, waved my hand, and said, "There is some truth in what everyone says, but none of them are right. The driving force and source of human progress is: desire!"
"Desire?" the immortals were in an uproar.
"Desire is the driving force and source of human progress, without desire there will be no human development, no progress of the times. Let me give you a very simple example: in ancient times, people drank blood and basically ate raw. By chance, it was discovered that the birds and animals killed by the wildfires were more delicious, so humans learned to preserve the fire. Later, in order to make it very convenient to make fire at any time, he invented various tools and methods such as drilling wood to make fire. You say, is it because of etiquette, morality, or yin and yang?"
After a moment of discussion, I paused, and then said, "No, human beings invented fire only from the simple and simple idea of wanting to eat cooked food. Human beings wanted to be able to see things at night, so they invented oil lamps, candles, and torches, and lighted them, human beings wanted to record, express and communicate ideas, so they invented writing, and human beings wanted to fly, so they invented airplanes...... So why is Heavenly Court so backward, there have been no inventions and creations for hundreds of thousands of years?"
All the immortals shook their heads into rattles in unison.
I waved my hand, "Because you immortals have pure hearts and few desires, do not want to forge ahead, have no pursuits, and have no ideas! Ideas are desires, and desires are ideas! Who said the phrase 'preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires'?"
Zhu Xi stood up with a red face and said in a whisper: "I think that those who eat and drink are also the principles of heaven, and those who seek deliciousness are also desired." 'Preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires' is not to kill desires, but to restrain desires. ”
"Oh, that's what you mean...... I don't even know a little about the theories of these sages and Confucians, "Then sit down, your original meaning is not wrong, but now our heavenly court is too backward, three or four eras behind the world! We must pursue higher, faster and stronger thoughts, and stride forward to catch up with and surpass the world! So what I want to say today is: the legal nature of the law, the heavens, the law, and the earth! Preserve the principles of heaven and rejuvenate people's desires! Break the rules and precepts of the immortals who are pure and have few desires, and reproduce the seven emotions and six desires of mortals. ”
"This ......" the immortals looked at Tai Bai Xing hesitantly.
Tai Bai Xing stroked his snow-white long beard, and said with his head in his jaw: "What the Heavenly Dao Monarch said is extremely true! For the sake of the rise and fall of the Heavenly Court, it doesn't matter if you break those rules and precepts. ”
"Obey the decree of the Heavenly Venerable. All the immortals saluted together.
"That's good!" I was even more energetic, "then our first goal is to become a new god with dreams, pursuits, desires, and discipline!
"Daojun said what he said!" Wei Chi Gong, whose face was like black charcoal, stood up and clenched his fists and said, presumably the generals have long been fed up with the immortal days of pure hearts and few desires, "Then where do we start?"
I took a slow sip of tea, "Who said 'food and sex', and who said 'men and women who eat and drink', and who who said 'people take food as the sky', I think we should start from the appetite first, and improve our lives with delicious food and drink!"
"What Daojun said is very much in line with my heart hahaha!" Wei Chigong laughed heartily, and the general generals and immortals also nodded frequently, these buddies haven't drunk wine and eaten meat for five hundred years, it's miserable......
I waved my hand and shouted, "Come on!"
The red-hot charcoal basin was served first, and then ten steaming iron pots were put on top of it. The best snowflake beef, selected A-grade small fat lamb, special lamb, ham, sausage, hairy tripe, sashimi, frozen tofu, various vegetables and bottles of two pots are served on the table. This time I went down to earth to gain a lot of money, and the twelve paintings and calligraphy and the Heavenly Master Runes have all made meritorious contributions, so it is time to reward these immortals.
"This ...... This is hot pot?" Yu Chigong swallowed.
"That's right! This is hot pot, today let's eat a lot of meat, drink wine in a big bowl, and don't get drunk and don't go home!" I picked up a bowl of two pots, "Come on! It's all full, it's done!"
"It's done!" The first person to jump up was not Wei Chigong or Qin Shubao, but Li Bai...... This wine fairy has not smelled wine for 500 years......
"!" the immortals shouted together, and Goo Dong began to pour wine. As soon as I raised my head and shook my hand, a bowl of wine was swept to the wall behind me by wiping my ears...... This bowl is not to say that there are three taels, and one bite is dry...... Do you tease me B?
"Eat!" I ordered, picking up a piece of fat cow and putting it into the boiling oil pot, "One, two, three! ”
The immortals followed my example and began to stir up beef and mutton in full swing. The tumbling oil soup soaks out the red and white tender meat with a seductive fragrance, and the eyes of the gods are green......
"Ahh......h
"Ah, I have been the God of Wealth for thousands of years, and I have never eaten such a delicious food!" Zhao Gongming's eyes moistened.
"Good wine, good wine! Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon!" Li Bai blew up the bottle with a pound of two-pot head.
"Huh, Zhang Zhenren, aren't you a vegetarian?"
"No, no, no, the pure yang boy skill practiced by the poor road is not taboo and fishy. It's Ziyang Zhenren, don't you pay attention to Bigu to achieve immortality?"
"Uh...... I'm just going to have fun with you......"
Aside from me and Tai Bai Xing, there is only one person who eats the most: Chang'e.
