Chapter 55: The Common Ancestor of All Things
"Whoosh!"
The tall old man with fluttering sleeves and a white beard rushed over, and shouted from afar: "Who is it?" Old Meng Lao Guo, which master is it this time?" A pair of eyes looked at the tall old man who was running quickly, his expression was complicated and weird, and there was even a hint of jealousy. Guo Xuzhen and Meng Shusheng also put away the waves in their hearts and looked at the comer.
"Congratulations!"
"Brother Huang, you have to set up a banquet this time!"
"Tongming, congratulations!" said one by one.
"Congratulations to me?" Huang Tongming's heart jumped, the martial arts academy was divided, and the reorganization of the seven major teams has been carried out for several years, and Duan Haifeng's team has won the immortal fruit for two consecutive years, and the rest of the team has not achieved results, so he is naturally not convinced, and he Huang Tongming is the same, and he has tried to reform various rules and regulations for the team again and again.
"Isn't it my reform ......" Huang Tongming's heart was beating sharply, for a person like him who has picked the fruit of immortality, it is the greatest honor to pick the fruit with his own team, if it is true......
Huang Tongming took a deep breath.
"Lao Huang, didn't your disciple Zhang Jiucai go to you first when he came back today?"
"Jiucai?" Huang Tongming said, "I have something to go out today, and I haven't entered the house yet, so I hurried to come when I didn't hear a bell ringing, did Jiucai go back to Dali?"
"Old Meng, you don't mean that this Guanyin Pavilion evaluation is my untalented ......," Huang Tongming asked.
The members of the Tai Chi Society in Lingnan occasionally go back to Dali to visit their relatives, but there are two times when people enter Dali, and the bell rings not long after, and these two times are the Tai Chi Society's successful fruit picking.
Meng Shusheng nodded slightly.
Huang Tongming's body in front of the Guanyin Pavilion suddenly stopped.
"It's him, it's him......"
Huang Tongming's heart was filled with ecstasy, but there was a sour taste in this joy. Although he is his own disciple, Zhang Jiucai is a member of the Taiji Society.
"He really became a talent, and it was in vain that I sent him to the Tai Chi Club. Huang Tongming laughed loudly, laughing so much that tears came out, and then he finally understood what Guo Xuzhen felt like after seeing Duan Haifeng picking fruits again and again, and seeing Duan Wubing, Deng Zhi, and Qu Youfeng also picking longevity fruits.
Although sending Zhang Jiucai to the Taiji Club is just for the disciples to be more promising. But when I really saw that my disciples were promising, and they were far more promising, than I had imagined, I should have been happy.
But when he compares his other students, and when he compares the team led by Huang Tongming, there is a little more astringency in this joy.
"Brother Tongming, this is a good thing. ”
"Brother Tongming, the disciple is talented, and the teacher is also glorious, according to the convention. You've got to set up a banquet. ”
"Your disciple has only succeeded in nine years, and it seems that our disciple is also about to die, which is a great thing!" a person congratulated.
Huang Tongming suppressed the complicated feelings of joy and astringency in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is as it should be, the banquet must be held, by the way, what is the content of Jiucai's fruit picking this time?"
"This ......" everyone was stunned, and then they found out. So many people have forgotten to ask what the academic view of this fruit picking is.
"This time, the argument is......" Elder Jianjing snorted coldly, "In short, it is 'the common ancestor of all things'. ”
"The common ancestor of all things?"
"In the Origin of Species?" glared at the Elder Jianjing one by one. Some even began to look solemn.
"In The Origin of Species, it is said that all species in the world have a common ancestor. Elder Jianjing snorted, "And this time Zhang Jiucai's point of view is similar to this, but he is not talking about the common ancestor of all species, but the common ancestor of more than a million species. ”
There was silence in front of the Guanyin Pavilion, and some people began to breathe heavily.
"In On the Origin of Species, it is believed that man has a common ancestor with other species. It's all evolved. A low voice rang out.
"Although this 'more than a million species share an ancestor', although it does not fully prove the view of "The Origin of Species", it at least proves some of the ideas in "The Origin of Species" from some aspects, and at least subverts some mainstream views such as "Heaven created all things". ”
"Since the common ancestor of all things has successfully demonstrated, coupled with Duan Wubing's 'species are changing' last time, it has also been successfully demonstrated. The book "Origin of Species" is by no means nonsense, there are still many treasures that can be dug up in it, Xu Zhen, I have to be jealous of your disciple Duan Haifeng......"
"But...... To say that it subverts Confucianism, this is not enough, far from enough!"
"Well, the will of heaven is still Confucian, and all things may share the same ancestor, but this 'all things' does not include people!"
......
Zhang Jiucai's success caused a huge shock in the martial arts world of Dali.
Confucianism picks six fruits in April.
And the Tai Chi Society, three years in a row to pick three fruits, once, twice can also be said to be luck, but three times in a row, once a year, although not as good as Confucianism, but also terrible, this is not just luck can comfort yourself.
Confucianism is the love of heaven, what about the Tai Chi Society?
And this time, the Taiji Club was not the initial members such as Duan Wubing and Qin Long, but the second-generation member Zhang Jiucai.
Although a predecessor like Huang Tongming should be happy, after all, Zhang Jiucai is different from Duan Wubing, Qin Hu, and Qin Qi, Duan Wubing, Qin Hu, and Qin Qi all studied under Guo Xuzhen, and Zhang Jiucai studied under Huang Tongming, and Zhang Jiucai succeeded, which means that other students who studied under Li Shiqi, Wen Shida, Wu Xinguo, Liu Yu, etc. Helian Min, Lu Baojia, Yang Qixian and others will also succeed.
But everyone can see this success, because they entered the Tai Chi Club, not because of the merits of Huang Tongming, Wen Shida, Wu Xinguo, etc.
And they-
"It's not wrong to kneel down at noon, it's just that we can't compare to their young people when we're old, and Duan Haifeng is also lucky. ”
"If Jiucai had entered Huang Tongming's team, he would have already produced results! After all, the members of the Tai Chi Club are smarter than others!"
"It may be wrong to kneel at noon, but the mistake is in the back of the division, this division should not be based on the will of each person, go to which team they want to go, but should be evenly distributed, the members of the Tai Chi Club are young, and one by one they have been trained by Duan Haifeng, and they will never forget, and they are very smart. They should be evenly divided into seven teams. ”
Although I was amazed, I was more unconvinced and regretful, after all, the Tai Chi Club picked the fruit repeatedly, but this fruit picking was not the older generation of people such as Chao Xiaochan and Zhuang Yanji in the Tai Chi Club, but all the young people around the weak crown, and their own team was full of people of the older generation. This is naturally unfair.
Therefore, it is Zhang Jiucai's argument to pick the fruit, which comes from the 'common ancestor of all things' in "The Origin of Species", which is quite emotional, and it is obvious that this view is another step on the road of provoking Confucianism.
The news of Zhang Jiucai's fruit picking soon spread to the world.
In the crowded hall, the eyes of the slightly blessed old man were aggressive.
"Confucianism explains the way of heaven, the way of heaven naturally supports Confucianism and Taoism, those who follow the heavens prosper, my Confucianism follows the sky, it should be forever prosperous, but don't forget that there is an idiom in the way of heaven. That's 'Heaven rewards hard work'. Although Cheng Yi's voice was gentle, the surroundings were sitting upright, silent.
"Industry is good at diligence, and ridiculous is ridiculous. If you are slack and lazy, it is against the sky, so Confucianism has six fruits in a row. But when we thought that Providence was Confucian, there were Xinxue and Shangrong schools picking fruits one after another. ”
"This is God's warning to us. It is also a punishment for us to go against the sky, and a reward for the diligence of the Xinxue and Shangrong schools, well, the old man's words are all here. ”
Soon Cheng Yi walked out of the hall.
"Teacher!" a figure hurriedly came, "Teacher, this is information from Lingnan." "Lingnan?" Cheng Yi connected. I opened it and glanced at it.
"Tai Chi Club Zhang Jiucai picks fruits!" Cheng Yi's face changed.
The aftermath of fruit picking in the Shangrong School has not yet dissipated, and the news that Zhang Jiucai, a young man from the Taiji Society, also picked the immortal fruit quickly spread from Dali to the Great Song Dynasty, and soon caused a shock.
"The Tai Chi Club has produced results again?"
"This Xinxue and Shangrong faction have just picked the fruit, not that it is extremely difficult to combine the recipe for longevity, I remember that it is recorded in historical materials. It takes decades to pick an immortal fruit, and if the world produces one fruit a year, it will be a martial arts event, right?"
"Why now, if you don't talk about Confucianism, just a small Tai Chi Club ......?"
The corridor in the backyard of Yichuan Academy has stood for a long time.
"Once or twice is luck, three times it can't be luck, this Haifeng is worthy of being a 'subversive demon king'!" Cheng Yi muttered to himself in a low voice. Yang Shi was silent on the side, even if he was better than others in other aspects, but his subordinates were also better than others, which had to make people jealous.
"It's a pity!" Cheng Yi shook his head slightly.
It's a pity? Yang Shi was stunned.
"Duan Haifeng once entered the pavilion three times in half a year, that's half a year to pick three fruits!" Cheng Yi looked yearning, "He has such a ability, but he has been unknown all these years, as if he has disappeared, and he hasn't taken out any longevity fruit, why?"
Yang Shi's eyebrows raised slightly, what Duan Haifeng has been doing in the past few years, this is actually a doubt in the entire martial arts world.
"I can't guess what big moves he is doing, although last time Ah Bi said that he was doing something with Qin Xianao, but what else is he doing? Now it seems that he has been cultivating disciples with all his might, but this is simply a loss-making business!"
"Buying and selling at a loss?" Yang Ming suddenly laughed: "If he didn't want to surprise the world in terms of cultivating disciples, with his ability to enter the pavilion three times in half a year, he would be afraid to pick no less than five or six immortal fruits over the years." ”
"Not necessarily, but three are inevitable. Cheng Yi chuckled, "And although he has cultivated three outstanding disciples, he ......" Cheng Yi had a smile in his eyes.
"What's wrong with these three disciples?" Yang Shi wondered.
Cheng Yi nodded slightly: "Look at this Zhang Jiucai, as a member of the Tai Chi Society, he should be loyal to Duan Haifeng, and he highly admires Duan Haifeng's peerless masterpiece "The Origin of Species", but he did not choose the real 'common ancestor of all things'. ”
Yang Shi nodded, the real 'common ancestor of all things' is that all species have the same ancestor, which naturally includes the 'humans' of the spirit of all things, but Zhang Jiucai has more than a million species with the same ancestor.
I only heard Cheng Yi say: "He uses this pseudo-ancestor of all things, it seems that he himself knows that people are special." ”
"Human beings are special, and the ethics and morals such as the three outlines and five constants unique to that person, and the inferiority of men and women are also inviolable, and the induction of heaven and man is also correct. Yang Shi also laughed.
"This ...... all things sense" Sima Guang laughed loudly, "This ten thousand, it actually only refers to more than one million, not all, it seems that the internal members of the Taiji Society are not completely on the side of Duan Haifeng and Qin Xianao." ”
Sima Kang also nodded: "It's the past three years, picking fruits once a year, if it is in the past, it is a real miracle, and it will definitely be regarded by some reckless people who don't use their brains as the will of heaven to love him Tai Chi Club, fortunately, this time there is my Confucian Lianzhong Liuyuan pressing." ”
......
One by one both emotional and glad to be vigilant, a small founding of the Tai Chi Society for a few years actually three consecutive years a year a fruit, this is a miracle in any era, fortunately, fortunately, fortunately this time there is a Confucian Lianzhong six yuan this exaggerated super miracle press, so the dragon has to curl up, it is the tiger to lie down, this Tai Chi Club not to mention picking three fruits in a row, that is, six years to pick six fruits and ten fruits, twenty fruits also have to stay aside.
Of course, I am also a little proud and excited, after all, Zhang Jiucai's 'ten thousand' of all things refers to more than one million, not all normal species, in the eyes of Confucianism, this is very interesting, obviously Zhang Jiucai also agrees with Confucianism in his heart, and even this seems to be Zhang Mu for "The Origin of Species", but in fact, it is Ming towards Duan Haifeng, but the real thing is towards Confucianism, promoting Confucianism.
So this time, in the eyes of some Confucian disciples, it was another victory for Confucianism. (To be continued.) )
