Chi Songzi sighed first, then looked at his junior brother with a smile.
Junior Brother had something to say to him a few years ago, and he has always remembered it clearly, so he has been thinking about specific countermeasures.
But...junior brother can be the first to come up with such countermeasures. After thinking about it, he already has a strategy in mind, and his talents and wisdom are not as good as his junior brother.
"Junior brother, it's up to you to make arrangements."
"Senior brother, I have thought about it a lot, but I feel that it is not perfect."
Then he said something, he wanted to hear his junior brother's plan.
Junior brother is the Wuzhenhou of the Qin State, and his thoughts are definitely more in line with the present and future of the Qin State.
"Hahaha, senior brother, you are the head of Tianzong, and you know the whole family best."
"A word to my junior brother."
Zhou Qing waved his hand and looked at Senior Brother Chisongzi.
Not much to say.
"Junior brother!"
"You."
"In recent years, senior brother has been thinking a lot, especially what he said before, and he has been thinking deeply about it."
"All schools of thought must change, and Taoism among them must also change."
"But is Taoist Tianzong going to change?"
"For hundreds of years, Tianzong has been living outside the world, living in peace and tranquility, maintaining his true nature, and his reputation is not as prominent as Confucianism and Mohism."
"There are not many disciples in the sect. However, when Confucianism and Mohism were unified in the world, they encountered disasters. There was actually no Tianzong and Renzong."
"Sometimes, senior brother even wonders whether Tianzong should take that path!"
Chisongzi spoke in despair, and stood up from the futon, her loose gray robe flowing in the wind, and her long hair flying in the crown.
Tianzong!
Taoist!
Chi Songzi's decision was also very difficult.
With the help of his junior brother, it is certainly a worldly honor for Tianzong to accept the title granted by the Qin State. Not surprisingly, Tianzong and even the entire Taoism will benefit.
What are the consequences of benefiting?
The number of disciples increased.
Become a truly outstanding scholar like Confucianism and Mohism.
But are those really necessarily good?
With so many disciples, due to the prominent position of Tianzong in the future, there will definitely be a division between yin and yang, causing chaos.
Not what you want to see.
But... Chi Songzi is extremely looking forward to being able to carry forward Taoism to such a level, really looking forward to it.
"If you want to take away something, you must firmly lift it. If you want to seize something, you must firmly give it to you. If you want to destroy it, you must first learn it."
"Confucianism also has the theory that you can't have your cake and eat it too."
"Senior brother, doesn't it mean that while Tianzong becomes a master of learning, he also wants all his disciples to maintain their nature and integrity and pursue the study of heavenly ways?"
Zhou Qing instantly understood what Senior Brother Chisongzi meant.
The problem that senior brother Akamatsuko is struggling with is actually very simple.
They were worried that after Tianzong became famous, the number of disciples would gradually increase, which would become a disaster for Tianzong in the future.
Just like Confucianism hundreds of years ago, there were only a few disciples, and other countries didn't care at all.
Now, it is no longer possible. Confucianism has considerable influence in the entire Qilu land. For this reason, the head Fu Nian personally went to Xianyang.
That's clear evidence.
Taoist Tianzong?
For hundreds of years, the disciples have always been numerous, but not too many. Choosing outstanding disciples to teach them may not be as glorious and famous as those of Confucianism and Mohism.
But all the disciples of the sect should preserve their nature and integrity in order to pursue the great road of heaven and earth.
However, in Zhou Qing's view, that is inevitable.
Any one of the hundreds of scholars is inevitable.
As powerful as the current Buddha Way of the Peacock Kingdom, the people of the Buddha lost their strong support after the death of Ashoka, the famous protector of the law.
Soon he became so weak that he was so weak on that land that he had to go to preach elsewhere.
The way of pagoda is still like this!
What's more, the relatively weak scholars and hundreds of schools of thought.
"Junior brother!"
Chi Songzi sighed again.
This is indeed the case. Therefore, I have been looking for strategies that can balance the truth between the two, hoping to have both.
Unfortunately, there is still nothing to gain.
Just a little thought.
"Senior brother is too persistent about this."
"Under the way of heaven, everything is the same, and the yin and yang rotate. Sooner or later, the world will be destroyed, let alone the Tianzong?"
"The reason why junior brother said what he said to senior brother a few years ago is to make the Taoist principles known to more people in Zhuxia."
"There is no right or wrong in logic."
"Just like the principles of various schools of thought, all have their own subtleties, but the current situation among these schools of thought is just the result of the various schools of thought."
"Junior brother's intention is that through this move, the true meaning of Taoism can be spread among all the Xia, so that more people can understand what Tao is!"
"The Tao...always abides."
"The Tao...is everywhere."
"As for how to understand it, that is not something that senior brother and I have to worry about."
"Like this drop of pure and flawless water, it is clear and untainted and can enter the heaven. If it is isolated in rivers, lakes and seas, but with external power, it may evaporate and not exist."
"If it is placed among the rivers, lakes and seas, it may be pure and unaffected, but it can coexist with the rivers, lakes and seas forever."
Why do people in the world want to have their cake and eat it too?
Because both are good things.
But why can’t we have our cake and eat it too?
Precisely because of the existence of the Dao of Heaven, whatever is gained means that something is lost in some aspects.
Senior brother wants to force me.
It is not the way of heaven, it has strayed into other ways.
Regarding the future development of Tianzong, whether it is prosperous or prosperous, we should calmly observe it.
Just like the current Qin State, it is about to dominate the world, which is worthy of joy.
Unfortunately, under the law of heaven, Qin will not last long. The ruler of this land of the Xia cannot be Qin forever.
If you want to become an eternal ruler, you must be like a dragon and follow the Tao.
As he spoke, he stretched one hand out into the air, and as his heart moved, a drop of water appeared.
Under the void, colorful rainbow light is refracted.
Very beautiful.
Very beautiful.
It has a very heavenly flavor.
It's just too small and too difficult to exist in the world for a long time.
So?
How to exist in heaven and earth for a long time?
Just throw it into the rivers, lakes and seas.
As long as the rivers, lakes and seas are immortal, they are eternal.
However, it is difficult to see the grand scene just now.
In a small country with few people, why did the founder think there was a shortcut? I'm afraid it will be the same!
"Since junior brother said this, senior brother continued to speak."
Logically speaking, Chisongzi understands.
I just can't let it go.
Everyone likes the magnificent and prosperous scene.
Everyone hates the scene of decline and decay.
I cannot be an exception, even if I am Junior Brother Xuanqing, the same is true. I like and dislike him equally.
That is also yin and yang.
"Brother, please!"
Seeing Xiao Ling approaching with a pottery pot, ready to brew tea, Zhou Qing nodded to Senior Brother Chisongzi.
"I think... Tianzong's sect regulations should be further expanded to deal with possible situations that may arise next."
"At the same time, small groups of disciples were sent to various places in Xia to build Taoist temples, thinking that they would spread the wonders of Taoism."
"What do you think, junior brother?"
Chisongzi was pacing back and forth, her thoughts running rapidly. She had thought of many things by herself, but there wasn't much she could use.
Even many things were obtained from my junior disciples.
"Can!"
Zhou Qing nodded. It is easy to expand the sect's regulations. It only takes some time. Senior brother should have it.
Of course it is also possible to send disciples to various Xia disciples to build a Taoist temple.
Over the past thousands of years, Taoism has emerged as the Heavenly Sect, the Human Sect, and even the Yin-Yang Sect has gone out. It can be seen that many people have different interpretations of Taoism.
However, no matter how you interpret it.
road!
It’s the Tao!
No one can change it.
"In addition, the "Tao De" scripture left by the ancestors should also be regarded as the highest, in the name of the whole Taoist."
"Liezi, Wenzi, Yangzi...the sages should be in office to make their names known and explain their ways."
Chi Songzi spoke again.
"Can!"
Zhou Qing smiled slightly and responded.
"The reason why Confucianism and Mohism are prominent schools is because they want people to like their way."
“In Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette are the top priority. Virtue and etiquette are the best way.”
"The teachings of Mohism are all about love and non-aggression. It does no harm to you or me. It is the best way."
"Taoist learning, when practiced by ordinary people, may be boring, or it may be improved upon, incorporating the meaning of the learning and the words of those who transform the Tao."
Afterwards, Chi Songzi pondered for a few breaths and finally spoke out.
"Hahaha, senior brother, if you have this intention, you should act accordingly."
"Confucianism and Mohism are also the manifestation of Tao. Each of them has its own interpretation in the "Tao De" scripture, which makes it easy to understand."
"Is there more?"
Zhou Qing admired it.
They kept laughing, thinking that the senior brother might not have many means, but now I heard that the senior brother's plan was indeed long-term.
He really wanted to spread Taoism among all the Xia.
Draw on the strengths of Confucianism and Mohism.
Make up for one's shortcomings.
Moreover, it is not his own shortcoming, but Tianzong didn't care about it at first. It is only natural that he should pick it up now.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Afterwards, Chisongzi recounted what he had gained from his meditation over the past few years.
In recent years, with the popularization of paper, the knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought has spread rapidly. Here in Tianzong, there are also scripture pavilions about various schools of thought.
Let the disciples read it and think it confirms the learning of the Taoist.
Everyone will gain something different from reading it.
When Chisongzi reads it, it should be like this.
Confucianism and Mohism have been prominent scholars for hundreds of years, so they naturally have their own uniqueness.
Although the two sects of Taoism, Heaven and Man, are quite famous, they are still very different.
However, there are many ghost valleys, and the number of disciples is not large, but they are also very famous. There must be a reason for this.
By mixing all kinds of things together, red pine nuts benefit a lot.
Falling above Tianzong.
It's really a big deal.
"Junior brother, those are what senior brother got."
"If we really advance Zhu Xia, it will take more than a few years or decades."
The tea on the wooden table was washed and changed three times by Xiao Ling.
Chisongzi was gradually a little excited, and her excited expression gradually calmed down.
In fact, if everything he said is implemented, the whole Taoism will become another scene, a truly magnificent scene.
And that process cannot be completed in a short time, and may take decades, or even hundreds of years.
"The future is not something we need to consider."
"What we have to do is to lay a good foundation. As long as the foundation is solid, even if we make mistakes in our cultivation in the future, our body and soul will not be destroyed."
"Senior Brother has gained so much, then... Junior Brother, please stay here for a few days and draw up a rough outline and charter."
Holding the pottery cup in hand, I took a sip of tea. The water from the clear spring here in Tianzong and the millet leaves grown here in Tianzong gave me a mellow taste.
Zhou Qing likes it very much.
"Xiao Ling, just stay on my side for the next few days."
"Many things in the future may need you to complete."
Watching Xiaoling approaching with a copper pot in hand, Zhou Qing said with a smile.
