Chapter 5: Yielding Again
"Qin Xianao's idea is good. Cheng Yi squinted, "But the people can make it, but they can't make it known, he does this, not to mention whether he can achieve more than thirty percent of the people's literacy, even if it is realized, it is only a burial cemetery." The last movement to overthrow the emperor was a precedent, if he continues like this, sooner or later there will be something wrong in the world, the world will be strife, the people of Li will fall into fire and water, there will be no peaceful days, where will we get the energy and time to study for us?"
"The teacher said that Qin Xianao was right and wrong before, is that what he meant?" You Xing said in a deep voice, "So, we have to stop him?"
Cheng Yi waved his hand: "Dingfu, you underestimate Qin Xianao too much, if the general trend is him, he has this great luck, we can stop him? Qin Xianao doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, he hits the south wall, with his arrogant personality, he won't look back, we can't stop it, but there is no need to help him to help him, what is he going to do, let's just watch it, watch him get up a tall building, watch him feast guests, and finally watch him when the building collapses, if he can really make some achievements, wouldn't it be better for us to enjoy his success?"
"Qin Xian is arrogant and wrong, we just look at it coldly, but right, put aside the recipe for longevity, use the rules of the world, according to the "Theory of Tools", and follow the logic to study rigorously, which we should study hard. Cheng Yi said with a glint in his eyes, "Order, all my Luoxue disciples, from now on, in addition to using vernacular for learning, they must also strictly abide by the "Theory of Tools" advocated by Qin Xianao, and do everything extremely rigorously." ”
"The teacher is wise!" Yang Shi and You Xing's eyes also flashed.
Cheng Yi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "That's it, I'll write a charter for this matter, otherwise if you give orders, they will despise it after all." We are the first university in the world, no matter what. Even if it is what Qin Xianao advocates, as long as it is right, we must do our best. ”
In the simple and clean room, Sima Guang walked back and forth.
"The human species is also changing, so what is the change of human beings, only the three emperors and five emperors are recorded in the history books. Even the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are all legendary, not necessarily true, so how long is our history, and why is the only really written history in the last thousand years?"
"There must have been an exact history a thousand years ago, but why is there no written record?"
Sima Guang shook his head, these questions were not not thought about in the past, but if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it, but-
"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, this time Duan Haifeng wrote "The Origin of Species". And how old are the Tai Chi Club......s under him?
This time, the results of Duan Wubing's longevity recipe forced Sima Guang to think.
"If I don't give an answer that is truly in line with Confucian theory, the world will agree with the answer in The Origin of Species, thinking that the reason why there is no written history before is because human beings were not intelligent enough, and human beings changed from apes to slowly evolved to become intelligent. ”
Sima Guang naturally could not accept the evolutionary viewpoint, but Confucianism could not give him ......
"Father. Sima Kang walked into the room and frowned slightly. Since watching the new issue of "Wulin Wind", Sima Guang seems to be stimulated. I've been thinking about the problem.
"Kang'er, Duan Haifeng and Qin Xianao are good means, three months ago, they touted "The Origin of Species", and Mr. Yi Chuan and I fought back in the newspaper, but they have not reacted. I knew it wasn't easy, but I didn't expect them to be slapped in the face like this. Sima Guang shook his head, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "These two young people." Although he is a demon, he really has the powerful methods of a demon. ”
"Father, in fact, there is no need to think about it, our theory is not wrong, heaven is the father of all things, and humans and monkeys do not share the same ancestor. ”
"No ......"
Sima Guang shook his head: "Kang'er, think about it, if people have really been so smart all along, then our history is really only a few thousand years? not tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of years?"
Sima Kang shuddered, yes, if people had always been so smart, and there would have been writing a long time ago, it would be impossible for the recorded history to be so short.
"When did people come out, did they first appear as one person, or two, or thousands?" Sima Guang said in a deep voice, "All this can be explained by "The Origin of Species", but we ...... it"
"It's not that we can't explain it, heaven makes man ......," Sima Kang said in a deep voice.
"No!" Sima Guang shook his head, "That statement is too simple, and the recipe for longevity ......" similar to Nuwa's creation of man, God created man, and other simple creation views, in fact, some people have always talked about it, and tried to use the recipe of longevity to prove it, but the strange thing is that the recipe for longevity does not fit at all, the conclusion is simple, but it does not fit, of course, it does not mean that it is wrong, it may also be too important, so the difficulty of combining is incredible.
"Father, the road is simple!" Sima Kang said.
"The Great Dao is simple?" Sima Guang was shocked violently, and after being slightly stunned, his eyes lit up, "Dao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, three to all things, the avenue is often the simplest, maybe I think too much, maybe the truth is really that simple, but my previous doubts ......"
"Human beings may not have been around for millions of years, as we think, but only for 10,000 years, or tens of thousands of years. Sima Kang muttered.
That makes sense. Sima Guang whispered, "But how can species evolution be explained?"
"Evolution is extremely weak, maybe just like the "Origin of Species" said, human beings are intellectually evolving, language is evolving, and tens of thousands of years ago to the present may not have evolved, just going backwards, will evolve slowly, what will become in the future, who can say?"
Sima Guang shook his head and nodded: "What you said makes sense, but these are all conjectures." ”
"Why should my father be so serious like Qin Xianao?" Sima Kang laughed, "Isn't Duan Haifeng's 'Origin of Species' hypothetical?"
"That's right!" Sima Guang smiled slightly, "Duan Haifeng guessed, we also guessed, who is right and who is wrong, and we have to distinguish between true and false in the recipe for longevity, huh?" Sima Guang walked out of the room, and as soon as he raised his hand, a pigeon landed in the palm of his hand.
"It's Mr. Ikawa's letter. Sima Guang took off the note on the pigeon's leg and opened it, only to see: "'Healing in the Great Dao, Healing in the Recipe of Longevity', this is the strange source of Qin Xian's pride." ”
"Healing in the Great Dao means healing in the recipe for longevity?" Sima Guang frowned slightly, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his eyes. "I understand! Haha, good, good Qin Xianao, good uncle. ”
"Father?"
"Kang'er, do you know why Qin Xianao went to such great lengths to promote the Theory of Tools, and why he talked about logic?" "Mr. Yi Chuan gave me an answer just now, and the more I thought about this answer, the more I felt that it was the truth, and it was the reason why Qin Xianao was desperate to really find it. Sima Guang handed the note to Sima Kang, and then measured his steps excitedly.
"Kang'er, I guess Uncle Zheng has understood this truth, he will definitely take action, he is the most popular in Luoxue, and our Shushui School cannot be left behind. You have to instruct the people below that in the future, not only will you use the vernacular to do your studies, but you must also strictly follow the logic advocated by Qin Xianao and the "Theory of Tools", forget it, I will go to the academy in person......"
Cheng Yi and Sima Guang had a headache for the announcement of the new issue of "Wulin Feng".
"In our philosophy, human beings are different, they have not evolved, but ...... This time on the longevity formula. The recipe for longevity cannot be wrong, then human beings should be constantly evolving. But this ......"
"The origin of species is almost a taboo in the longevity formula, except for a few that can be closed with the longevity formula, the others can't be combined, and this time Duan Haifeng's ...... In the end, is our view correct, or is the Origin of Species correct?"
"I've always put the origin of species aside. Now it seems that we have to work on this......"
Lu Gong, Shao Bowen, Dong Xiyan, Wen Yanbo...... One by one, they are also having a headache, they don't believe many of the ideas in "The Origin of Species", but this time they have to believe the results of the longevity formula, so how to make the results of the longevity recipe this time. Can you explain it by adding to your own school of thought?
At this time, a letter from Cheng Yi was passed to their desks, and they were shocked when they read the letter.
"What a Qin Xianao, it turns out that he is doing everything for this ......"
"Put aside the recipe for longevity, put aside the shortcuts given to us by God, and use the most primitive, human means to be self-reliant, this explains everything Qin Xianao does, the afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrifying!"
"Regardless of whether Qin Xianao really thinks like what Mr. Yi Chuan said, what he advocates is exactly what we lack, there is no doubt about this, so I must thank Qin Xianao. ”
"It is obviously impossible for Qin Xianao to pull the people of the world into this movement to decipher the secret of life, but he still has merit here. ”
"Qin Xianao's idea is good, it's just that he drew a beautiful immortal country, and used deception to deceive the common people and dedicate himself to martial arts, whether he succeeds or not, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and he will lose morally!"
After thinking about it, one by one they acted naturally.
In Songyang Academy, old people in their thirties and forties, or even fifty or sixty years old, gathered in the hall, these people, like Guo Xuzhen, Li Shiqi, Chao Xiaochan, Tang Zhen and others, are all elites in the martial arts world, they all understand the role of the longevity formula, and they have been working hard to achieve the longevity formula.
"This time, what is recorded in "Wulin Wind" is really unimaginable!"
"There is no C or anything, not a single hair has grown, and it is actually ...... , Duan Haifeng was perverted enough a few years ago, and this time he was a disciple of the Tai Chi Society under his disciple, Dali was not the same before, how could he suddenly ......"
"I really don't know what went wrong, we didn't produce results at such an age, they ...... at a young age"
"This time the teacher is going to come to lecture, we are really ......" one by one whispered, their faces were extremely ugly, Sima Guang came to Songyang Academy, what could he do if he chose this period?
At this time, Sima Guang walked up to the podium with a calm face, and then raised his hand, it was a "Wulin Feng" newspaper.
"You've all seen this thing?" Sima Guang said in a deep voice. Many people lowered their heads, after all, "The Origin of Species" has only been out for three months, and Duan Haifeng's little children can do it, and Sima Guang's theory of the Lianshui School, they have been ...... for decades People are more angry than people, how can they not be ashamed!
"You don't have to be mourned one by one, although "The Origin of Species" has only been out for three months, and he Duan Haifeng's subordinates can transform him into the result of the longevity formula, but this can't be blamed on you!" Sima Guang's tone was gentle, and some people even sounded as if Sima Guang was blaming himself.
The sensitive person was suddenly a little confused.
"I can't blame you all for this, it also has to do with the fact that the theory of my Lianshui School is not good enough, not enough to reassure you, recently Mr. Yi Chuan and I talked about Qin Xianao, I just knew, perhaps, I was in a little too hasty before. Sima Guang's tone was a little emotional.
This time, everyone could hear that Sima Guang was really not reprimanding them, but blaming himself, and couldn't help but be even more stunned.
"There is a law of longevity, the more it is in line with the avenue of heaven and earth, the more it is in line with the longevity formula, I Sima Guang used to go in a hurry, some things just think they are correct, so I take them out and let you go together, this is not right, but now that our country is working hard, it is impossible to put more effort into this, so only you have ...... intentions."
......
Sima Guang rushed to his Songshan Academy, Shao Bowen rushed to Yinggu Academy, and Lu Gong rushed to Shao's room...... One by one, he instructed his disciples to pay attention to logic and empirical evidence in their future studies, and to govern their studies according to the "Theory of Tools".
The bigwigs of the Confucian Alliance have always been what Qin Xianao does, and they are against it, but this time it actually ......
The disciples of the academy were almost confused, but the master's life was like a mountain, and they would do whatever they were told, even if they had doubts in their hearts, they could only ponder and discuss it in private. However, they are accustomed to being imaginative and chaotic, and suddenly let them be rigorous, and naturally they are not used to it, but fortunately, there are already existing examples.
As a result, they saw it, threw it aside, and occasionally gathered together to criticize a few sentences, and some people even extremely disdained "Tool Theory", "Geometric Originals", "Principles of Ethics", and even Duan Haifeng's "Origin of Species" were re-translated. (To be continued.) )
