Chapter 223: Academic disputes, verbal battles among Confucian scholars, supreme new learning, unity of knowledge and action
Jixia Academy.
Facing this chess game, Gu Jinnian was really helpless.
Some are defeated without force.
Relying on visions and other people's interference is indeed not a good idea.
In fact, losing a game is not a big problem.
However, the chess vision given by the Tree of All Living Beings was indeed terrifying. In the first chess game, I had not sensed anything yet.
But Gu Jinnian also sensed the following chess game. This phenomenon was very strong, as if it contained some will, so these national players felt tremendous pressure.
This was so weird that Gu Jinnian had to be careful.
However, Gu Jinnian still knew his chess skills well. It was a complete accident and his victory was not fair and aboveboard.
Gu Jinnian knew this well.
However, counting this destiny mark, there are already six destiny marks in my body.
The very first one.
The Three Ways of the Daxia Dynasty.
One that Kong Xuan gave to himself.
And now together.
There are a total of forty-nine destiny marks, and he alone controls six. Putting aside the mysterious existence of Su Huaiyu, he should be in the top three.
Go deeper into your inner world, look at your ranking through the Tree of Living Beings, and you are already ranked second.
Second only to Su Huaiyu.
And at this moment.
Along with a bell rang.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but be attracted.
"The barrier of chess has been solved."
"Please move forward."
As this voice sounded.
Everyone walked towards the interior of Jixia Academy.
Su Wenjing and Duan Kong disappeared, apparently to settle a grudge.
Gu Jinnian was not idle either.
Go straight to the nave.
In the middle hall of the academy, three martial arts stages have been set up, representing the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
The second level is the defense level.
As everyone came to the middle hall, three figures were already standing on the martial arts stage.
The representative of Confucianism is Mr. Zhongyang, who is a great Confucian nowadays and has a high prestige in the Guanzhong area.
The representatives of the Immortal Sect are Taoist Master Yunshou and Longhu Taoist Sect. The Longhu Taoist Sect is indeed the leader among all the Immortal Sects in the way of debate.
As for the representative of Buddhism, he is Pudu Monk, one of the four great Buddhist monks.
These three people, regardless of age or reputation, are all qualified to stand on the martial arts stage.
As tens of thousands of scholars entered, the entire middle hall was already crowded with people.
clang.
As a bell rang.
A majestic voice also appeared.
"How to answer this question."
"It's destiny."
"A great age is about to come, and the destiny of heaven is revealed. Who among the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism can receive the blessing of destiny?"
"This is the title."
"The defense will be answered by the three parties. If there are any disagreements, you can receive the answer card and give an answer. During the rest of the time, no loud noises are allowed, and the order of the defense is not disrupted. Anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from Jixia Academy."
As this voice sounded, there was a lot of controversy in an instant.
"Take destiny as the topic? Jixia Academy really knows how to ask questions."
"It's such a sensitive issue, I guess we'll get into a fight."
"The defense debate is all about God's will. Now that fate has come to Jixia Academy, in a sense, whoever wins the defense may be favored by fate in the future."
"Well, there is a possibility that Tianming has paid attention to this place. This defense is of great significance and will be a good show."
Voices sounded one after another.
Gu Jinnian was in front of the crowd. He was somewhat interested in this defense. Such an argument would be helpful to him.
And at this moment.
The voice of Pudu Monk rang out.
"Amitabha."
Divine Monk Pudu spoke, and for a moment, the scene was quiet, with everyone looking at Divine Monk Pudu.
Obviously, Pudu Divine Monk planned to be the first to answer the question.
This has certain advantages.
"The continent of Shenzhou, over thousands of years, emerged from chaos, and spiritual beings were born."
"Millions of years ago, the human race was born. They had a clear understanding of wisdom and understood various principles, but they did not know good and evil, right and wrong."
"The great world has turned into a sea of misery. Everyone is drowning in the water without knowing it. They have gathered together to form a country. They have fought many battles that will never end. The people are suffering endlessly. The common people weep. Wives are separated from each other. Children can eat each other. The suffering in the world,
It’s endless.”
"However, our Buddhist sect has 84,000 dharma doors, which lead directly to the great road of bliss. Everyone recites Buddhist sutras, takes refuge in Buddhism, obtains the true Buddha seal, transforms the Buddha's appearance in the heavens, and saves the people of the world from the water and fire."
"I have eight major precepts in Buddhism, seeking equality for all living beings, whether human beings or demons, to stop killing, and to seek the supreme bliss for all living beings in the world."
"Therefore, in this destiny, I, the Buddhist sect, will act in accordance with the will of heaven, and we will surely grasp the destiny."
The Pudu Divine Monk spoke, and what he said could be summed up in one sentence: Buddhism is of great help to the people of the world and finds a way for them to live, so it can control the destiny of the world.
As soon as this statement came out.
Hundreds of monks put their hands together and said great kindness.
However, such remarks are still unacceptable to some people, but when answering, you cannot act recklessly. When it is not your turn to speak, you can only shut up.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord."
At this time, Master Yunshou of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect shook his head.
"No, no."
"Buddhism has eighty-four thousand dharma, which cannot be compared to the dharma of my Taoist sect. The dharma of the Taoist sect is immeasurable. Every flower and tree is a dharma. It is an infinite dharma and an infinite way."
"In ancient times, the human race was established, and wisdom was born. The ancient sages looked up to the sky, understood the way of heaven and earth, and realized that the great road is unique."
"Furthermore, my Taoist sect has endless teachings, established sects, and established sects without any sects. I serve everything in the world, subjugate demons and eliminate demons, and protect the Tao for the common people."
"Although Buddhism focuses on good thoughts, there is no distinction between good and evil. Putting down the butcher's knife, becoming a Buddha immediately, downplaying it, and writing off everything in the past. This kind of kindness is hypocrisy."
"The lineage of my Taoist sect continues to this day. When good things happen, we support them, and when they encounter evil things, they destroy them. We also save all sentient beings, hang pots to help the world, and receive the gifts of heaven and earth, and the divine method of opening up the great road."
"This destiny should be obtained by the orthodoxy of our Taoist sect."
"Just because the Tao is supreme and the Taoism obeys the will of God."
Taoist Yun Shou spoke up and expressed his views and opinions.
He believes that although there are 84,000 Buddhist teachings, he does not know right from wrong and thinks it is hypocrisy. If he proves his own way and knows right from wrong and finds the right way, he can obtain his destiny.
Sure enough, as soon as this statement came out, some immortal monks clapped their hands and applauded.
The Buddhist monks all looked a bit unhappy, but the face of the Buddhist monk Pudu was extremely calm. This was not the first time he had experienced this kind of scene, so he didn't feel anything.
Furthermore, the very thing of replying is to criticize each other.
Accusing the other party's shortcomings and then emphasizing your own advantages is the core of the defense.
After Daomen finished speaking.
In the end, Mr. Zhongyang was left.
Mr. Zhongyang was silent for a moment, and then he spoke.
"The human race has given birth to wisdom since ancient times."
"To this day, because I have gained wisdom, I can clearly understand the truth and understand the truth, and I can think about all the phenomena in the universe and the good and evil of human nature."
"Buddhism has eighty-four thousand dharma, Taoism has infinite dharma, and I, Confucianism and Taoism, also have immeasurable learning."
"Confucius came first and set up rituals and laws to distinguish people."
"The inferior sage will come later and seek to balance the laws of the country."
"Restore the sage to be with you, establish the rule of the king and establish the dynasty."
"The saints appointed by heaven established Confucianism to rule the world."
"Nowadays, among Confucianism and Taoism, there are also people from later generations who have established their minds for heaven and earth, established their lives for the people, inherited the unique knowledge of the past saints, and created peace for all generations."
"The sages of the past are like light, reflecting the path of future generations. The way of Confucianism and Legalism, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement, and thus lives endlessly."
"The Confucian classics enable people to become wise, understand the truth, distinguish between good and evil, and understand all the troubles in the world."
"The Tao is infinite."
"The Buddha is profound."
"Of course, I, a scholar, have endless talents, and I am pointing directly to the great road to heaven. This destiny should be obtained by my Confucianism and Daoism."
"Thus, we can educate all people, not only save all sentient beings, but also obey the will of God."
Mr. Zhongyang spoke.
His words are not sharp, but his words are extremely perfect. Buddhism believes that it can save all sentient beings and lead them to the paradise world where everyone is equal.
Taoism believes that one can distinguish good from evil, know right from wrong, understand the great road, go straight to the core, overcome calamities and ascend, be free and at ease, and have boundless happiness.
But now, Mr. Zhongyang directly summarizes the meaning of the two teachings, reading is the foundation of everything, awakening human wisdom, understanding the way of God, and entering the land of bliss.
Even Gu Jinnian couldn't help but praise these remarks.
"good."
"That's really a good thing to say."
"Mr. Zhongyang is worthy of being a great expert in Confucianism and Taoism. What he said is really good."
In an instant, countless voices sounded. The people who came to Jixia Academy this time were a large number of scholars themselves, so they naturally preferred scholars.
All three of them elaborated on their remarks. At present, it seems that Mr. Zhongyang really said it well.
However, this is just the beginning, and the real defense has not yet begun.
"Amitabha."
"Zhongyang Donor is wrong. Confucianism and Taoism can indeed make people wise, but this kind of wisdom is not the mind. Looking at the past and present, haven't scholars done many things that harmed the country and the people?"
"The world's dynasties, aristocrats and nobles, learn the theory of lords and firmly control them, and poor people study hard for ten years in a poor family. Is it better to be born?"
"Fifty years ago, a poor monk traveled around the world and met a disciple from a poor family. He studied hard and had good talent. He went to Beijing to take the exam."
"However, when I returned from traveling, I learned that this person failed the exam three times and committed suicide at home."
"It's not about articles or talent, it's about his poor background. Although he has read the Four Books and Five Classics, he doesn't understand court policies or national affairs. No matter how good his books are, how can he win the imperial examination despite his poor background?"
"I dare to ask you scholars, how is your family situation?"
"Is there anyone from a poor family?"
Priest Pudu opened his mouth and looked at all the scholars present.
As soon as this was said, all the scholars fell silent.
Who can come to Jixia Academy, how can they be the kind of children from a poor family?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Monk Pudu continued to speak.
"Why are all living beings equal?"
"This is the equality of all living beings."
"The way of Buddhism is the way of salvation."
Pudu Divine Monk opened his mouth, and when he said this, he clasped his hands together, which really made all the scholars at a loss what to say.
Everyone was silent.
This is the second round. Except for Mr. Zhongyang and Taoist Yunshou, everyone who came to watch is allowed to speak.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
"Although Buddhists are equal, they still respect the Buddha. If they are really equal, why do they respect the Buddha?"
"Everyone is a Buddha, so where does the meaning of Buddha come from?"
"Why do people in the world worship Buddha?"
The voice sounded.
It was Chang Yuntian's voice. He immediately caught the flaw and criticized the other party's belief that all living beings are equal.
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately received countless applause.
However, Divine Monk Pudu could not help but smile slightly.
"wrong."
"Buddha has no appearance at all. When you worship Buddha and worship yourself, everyone has the virtues of Tathagata. Everyone can become a Buddha. Although all living beings have various forms, they are equal."
Pudu Divine Monk is proficient in Buddhism, so he can answer such simple questions very easily.
really.
After this answer was spoken, everyone present fell silent again.
The answer given by the Purdue Monk was perfect.
only.
In an instant, many eyes couldn't help but fall on Gu Jinnian. They really didn't understand the teachings of Buddhism.
Chang Yuntian can raise this question, which is already considered very good.
But if you really want to argue with the other party, it will be extremely difficult.
Under this situation, everyone naturally placed their expectations on Gu Jinnian, hoping that Gu Jinnian could provide an answer.
Feeling the attention of everyone, Gu Jinnian looked very comfortable.
Gu Jinnian had studied Buddhism, and since he had a grudge against Buddhism, he naturally studied Buddhism for a period of time.
Buddhism is good at sophistry, and any sect likes to justify itself. They take out some Buddhist scriptures, pick out some very sharp questions, and then start to justify themselves.
Therefore, if a sect can spread for thousands of years, the logic of this sect will be extremely terrifying.
Because he has ten thousand ways to explain and elaborate on his theory.
And he has the final say on everything good and bad.
In his previous life, Gu Jin read a book in which he mentioned the Buddhist debate. The author of the book believed that.
It is almost impossible to complete the argument through words, and it will be difficult for Qiongqi to do it in his life.
Can you alone defeat the scriptures and principles that have been deduced by tens of millions or even tens of millions of people for thousands of years?
There is only one way to truly defeat him.
people.
Yes, Buddhist scriptures are dead, but people are alive. Anyone who expounds the moral meaning of any scripture is only what he thinks or understands. Do not question the right or wrong of the scriptures.
Only by targeting people can you have a chance to win.
This is also the reason why Gu Jinnian was basically never at a disadvantage when fighting against Buddhism before.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian looked up.
Watching the Pudu Monk.
Then he took a step forward.
"Dare you ask the holy monk?"
"Buddhism has 84,000 Dharmas and millions of Buddhist scriptures. With so many Buddhist scriptures, is there anything wrong?"
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and asked Pudu Divine Monk.
Hearing this, Monk Pudu said without any hesitation.
"The eighty-four thousand dharma of Buddhism were created by my Buddha. These millions of Buddhist sutras are all written by the Buddha and there can be no mistakes."
When the Pudu Divine Monk spoke, he naturally had to answer correctly, otherwise he would be desecrating himself.
"The Buddhist scriptures are infallible."
"Does it prove that Buddha is omnipotent, that Buddha knows the past and future, understands the principles of heaven and earth, and that Buddha cannot make mistakes, right?"
Gu Jinnian continued to ask.
It aroused even more curiosity.
Because even those who don’t understand Buddhism know something about this.
The Buddha is a supreme being, so naturally he is omnipotent and cannot make mistakes. But this is like asking if a saint can make a mistake. Confucian scholars will all say no.
"Exactly."
"The donor is very understanding."
"I am destined to be a Buddhist."
The latter spoke calmly and specially said, "I am destined to be a Buddhist."
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian didn't take it seriously, but looked at the monk Pudu with eyes like a torch.
"you are wrong."
Gu Jinnian looked at Pudu Divine Monk with firm eyes and said this.
As Gu Jinnian's voice sounded, everyone frowned.
They didn't understand what Gu Jinnian meant by what he said?
"Where did the poor monk go wrong?"
The Bodhisattva and the holy monk were also a little confused. He didn't understand what Gu Jinnian meant.
"I said you were wrong."
"You are wrong."
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly.
But this statement seemed particularly baffling.
How could everything go so wrong?
And they don’t explain what’s wrong?
"The Marquis is really different. It's a pity that this is not the Great Xia Dynasty. If the Marquis has a different opinion, just say it."
"What's the point of being so domineering?"
Monk Pudu spoke calmly and did not confront Gu Jinnian head-on.
"Don't you know where you went wrong, Master?"
Gu Jinnian stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at the Pudu Divine Monk and chuckled.
As soon as he said this, Divine Monk Pudu couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong with the poor monk?"
"The Buddha himself is omnipotent, knows all dharma, clearly understands the past and the future, and points out a way to life for all people in the world."
"The Marquis said that the poor monk was wrong, so he should provide evidence."
When Pudu Divine Monk spoke, he did not feel that he was wrong.
Buddha is indeed omnipotent, this is their teaching.
"You are indeed wrong."
At this moment, Mr. Zhongyang smiled slightly, looked at the Pudu Divine Monk, and said this.
This time more people don’t understand.
Monk Pudu frowned and looked at Mr. Zhongyang.
The latter spoke calmly and slowly.
"Jin Nian's words are not directed at the omnipotence of the Buddha, but at the equality of all living beings and the virtues of the Tathagata."
He opened his mouth and revealed the core.
In an instant, many people were shocked, and the expression of the Pudu Divine Monk changed on the spot.
For a moment, there was silence.
"sharp."
"It's really awesome."
“What a Zen opportunity.”
At this time, some people exclaimed and couldn't help but clapped their hands and exclaimed.
"What's going on?"
"Why can't I understand it at all?"
"Sir, where is this Zen machine?"
Some people were pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but admire Gu Jinnian's wisdom, but most people still didn't understand. They really couldn't understand where this Zen meaning lay.
"You are all wrong."
"Gu Jinnian was not targeting the omnipotence of the Buddha, but the initial words of the divine monk Pudu."
"The Purdue Divine Monk said that all living beings are equal and have the appearance of Tathagata, which means that all living beings are Buddhas."
"Since all living beings are Buddhas, I am also a Buddha, and they are also a Buddha."
"Gu Jinnian asked, is the Buddha omnipotent, knowing the past and the future, and making no mistakes?"
"Pudu Divine Monk approves this statement."
"In that case, Gu Jinnian considers himself to be a Buddha. If he is a Buddha, it is wrong to say that the divine monk who purifies the divine monk is wrong."
"Because the Buddha is omnipotent, but the Buddhist monk Pudu did not understand the meaning of Zen. Instead, he said that Gu Jinnian was overbearing."
"This is overturning his own remarks and proving that Buddha is not omnipotent."
"Right now, there are only two ways to go before the Pudu Divine Monk."
"First of all, if you admit that you are wrong, you will lose your defense. But the good thing is that the Buddha still exists and defends the teachings of Buddhism."
"Secondly, you don't admit that you are wrong. But if you do this, it means that the Buddha is not omnipotent because he was wrong."
"Wonderful, wonderful."
"What a Zen opportunity, really a good Zen opportunity."
The old man opened his mouth to understand the excitement of this defense.
After everyone heard this answer, they were all shocked.
This kind of thinking is simply not something they can think of.
It is too profound, and the trap set is even more terrifying, because there are only two ways to go in front of the Pudu Monk.
Either admit that you are wrong, or admit that the Buddha was wrong.
Anyone with any brains would not dare to say that Buddha was wrong, but if he admitted that he was wrong, Buddhism would have failed in this defense, and there would be almost no solution.
On the martial arts stage.
Monk Pudu's expression was ugly. He didn't expect that Gu Jinnian would actually dig such a big hole for himself.
Indeed, a dilemma.
He even said that there was no way forward and he could only admit that he was wrong. If he really dared to say that the Buddha was wrong, he would be violating the teachings and would be in greater trouble.
As one of the four great monks, he admitted that the Buddha was wrong. If this spread, how terrible would the impact be?
So there are no two ways at all, there is only one way, admit your fault.
"Amitabha."
"Although all living beings have the Tathagata sign, how come the donor has the Tathagata sign?"
"Believing in Buddhism does not mean that you will become a Buddha immediately."
"Therefore, the donor is not a Buddha and cannot define right and wrong."
At this moment, a monk spoke. He looked at Gu Jinnian and gave this answer, which could be regarded as helping the Pudu monk resolve this sharp question.
After saying this, the eyes of the group of monks lit up.
Even the Purdue Divine Monk couldn't help but clasp his hands and say Amitabha.
yes.
Why do you, Gu Jinnian, say that you are a Buddha?
Although all living beings have the appearance of the Tathagata, and everyone can become a Buddha according to the 84,000 sutras of Buddhism, but becoming a Buddha requires time and training. If you don’t have any training, you are not a Buddha. If you are not a Buddha, you cannot define right and wrong.
.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian was not surprised at all. On the contrary, it was within Gu Jinnian's expectation that the other party would say this.
Faced with such rebuttal.
Normally, one would show off one's achievements, but Gu Jinnian would not say that. To say so would definitely be an understatement.
After all, no matter how many achievements you have, can they compare to the fictional Buddha?
Didn’t that Buddha say in the scriptures that he had gone through millions of kalpas?
Therefore, Gu Jinnian just spoke slowly.
"Buddha said, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."
"Right or wrong?"
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and asked again.
The latter was a little silent, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
This answer was obviously correct, but he was afraid that Gu Jinnian would set him up.
But after waiting for a while, he could only answer bravely.
"yes."
This is still a Buddhist teaching and cannot be denied.
"Then if I put down the butcher knife, will I become a Buddha?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"yes."
The latter nodded.
But soon, he continued to speak.
"Amitabha."
"But the donor doesn't have a butcher's knife."
The monk said, wanting to block Gu Jinnian's road directly.
"Is obsession a knife?"
Gu Jinnian asked calmly.
"yes."
The monk was a little nervous, but he still nodded, insisting on using the sword as this is still a Buddhist teaching.
"good."
"I let it go."
Gu Jinnian smiled.
This time everyone was a little confused. It felt like it was a quarrel, but it also felt like a debate.
Every word and every sentence contains explanation.
"How did you let it go?"
The monk continued to ask.
Look at Gu Jinnian.
However, Gu Jinnian did not answer. Instead, he looked elsewhere and ignored the other party.
The scene is a bit embarrassing.
The monk couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Where is the butcher knife?"
"The young monk has never seen it."
He continued to speak out, questioning Gu Jinnian.
However.
At this moment, on the martial arts stage, the Pudu Divine Monk smiled bitterly.
"Amitabha."
"The poor monk was wrong."
"Donor Gu, you are really wise."
At this moment, Pudu Divine Monk saw the Zen intention. He smiled bitterly, clasped his hands together, bowed to Gu Jinnian, and took the initiative to admit defeat.
"How is this going?"
"Are you giving up now?"
"I can't understand it at all."
"Is there any senior who can explain something?"
Everyone was surprised and really didn't know what was going on. Originally, this little monk came out to refute Gu Jinnian and still had the upper hand. Why did the Pudu Divine Monk take the initiative to admit his mistake?
Isn't this too weird?
Everyone couldn't understand it at all.
"Amazing."
"This Zen machine is truly exquisite."
"Don't you understand yet?"
An old man spoke up and praised Gu Jinnian.
"Please sir, please clear me up."
Hearing someone speaking like this, some students immediately spoke up and asked the other person.
"This young monk rebutted Gu Jinnian. Although all living beings have the appearance of the Tathagata, not everyone is a Buddha, but everyone has the opportunity to become a Buddha."
"It means that if Gu Jinnian is not a Buddha yet, then if Gu Jinnian is not a Buddha, it is impossible to define right and wrong."
"This question and rebuttal defused Gu Jinnian's attack."
"However, Gu Jinnian used Buddhist teachings, put down the butcher's knife, and became a Buddha immediately as an answer. In fact, at this time, Gu Jinnian once again set up a trap."
"He asked the monk, is this correct?"
"The monk answered yes, because this is Buddhist teaching and cannot be said to be wrong. But Gu Jinnian asked if obsession is a sword. If he puts down his obsession, will he become a Buddha?"
"The monk answered correctly."
"Then, the wonderful thing is that Gu Jinnian directly said to let it go. These three words of letting go are the essence of the essence."
"This monk did not understand the meaning of Zen and kept asking Gu Jinnian how he let go and how. At this time, his obsession appeared, but Gu Jinnian said nothing because he had already let go of his obsession."
"At this moment, he is the Buddha."
"That's why the Purdue Divine Monk surrendered."
"Do you understand?"
The old man spoke up and answered this Zen question.
After everyone listened, they couldn't help but suddenly realized that this was really a method of debate. It was so profound that to be honest, if they were asked to go up, they probably wouldn't understand what it meant.
"its not right."
"If that's the case, Gu Jinnian said he let it go and then didn't speak. At this time, the monk didn't speak either. Did he defuse Gu Jinnian's attack?"
Someone spoke up, slightly curious.
"No."
"I just said that the real subtlety lies in these three words."
"Let it go."
"Gu Jinnian let go of his obsession and did not quarrel or argue with the other party. Then he became a Buddha. After becoming a Buddha, what Gu Jinnian said is correct, because the Buddha knows the past and the future."
"Buddhist scriptures say that there is nothing wrong with the Buddha's past affairs. They are all destined."
"In other words, when Gu Jinnian became a Buddha, no matter what he said in the past or what he said in the future, it made sense and was right."
"It would be a mistake for the monk not to continue asking."
"It's even more wrong to ask further questions."
"This link is intertwined with each other, and the top and bottom are combined. This kind of mind is terrifying and terrifying."
The old man spoke up and explained more carefully.
This explanation made everyone speechless.
They finally understood.
From the beginning, Gu Jinnian set up a trap, using doctrine as the trap to induce the enemy to step into the trap step by step.
"It seems that if you quarrel with Gu Jinnian in the future, you should really think twice."
"With such a mind, to be honest, I feel like I can't survive a round in front of Gu Jinnian."
"Buddhism is good at sophistry, but you didn't expect to be defeated by Gu Jinnian like this?"
People talked and admired Gu Jinnian's mind.
And at this time.
The Pudu Divine Monk left, taking all the disciples with him, and left with a dejected look on his face.
The defense they were most proud of had already been lost, and they had lost completely.
Today, Taoism and Confucianism are still left on the martial arts stage.
Seeing Monk Pudu surrendering on his own initiative, Taoist Yunshou was naturally overjoyed. His biggest competitor had left. How could he not be happy?
"The goodness of Buddhism is not great goodness."
"The teachings of Taoism reflect thousands of people and thousands of methods, cultivate one's moral character, help the world by hanging a pot, subdue demons and eliminate demons, and clearly distinguish between good and evil."
"This is destiny's choice."
Taoist Yunshou opened his mouth and emphasized his method again.
However, facing Daomen's explanation, Gu Jinnian did not choose to defend himself, but took a few steps back and watched quietly.
in this way.
Taoist Yunshou and the great scholar Zhongyang kept arguing.
Later, all parties were also arguing.
Both sides hold their own opinions, and both sides have their own reasons.
Gu Jinnian listened carefully. He would naturally agree with what should be approved. Gu Jinnian would also remember what should not be approved, but would not refute anything.
Regarding Buddhism, it was entirely because of previous grudges. To put it bluntly, it was just targeting.
Time passed little by little.
For half a day, the two sides gradually became angry, and the arguments became more and more sharp.
Roughly speaking, Zhongyang Confucianism believes that Confucianism and Taoism can make people enlightened and understand everything. Whether they are cultivating immortality or Buddhism, they must go through this path, which is the origin of everything and the foundation of human beings.
Taoist Yun Shou believes that the way of cultivating immortals can unlock the shackles of the spirit, achieve transcendence, have endless lifespan, and enjoy bliss and freedom.
The two argued vigorously.
Gu Jinnian was thinking about the topic of destiny.
Until the end.
Neither of them argued for a reason. This kind of reply itself takes a long time. To put it bluntly, how many people can convince the other party's point of view these days?
In addition, what both sides said is reasonable, let alone say anything.
For most defenses, if they are not determined by votes, there is basically no big problem in fighting for a lifetime.
Therefore, this kind of reply continued until nightfall.
Finally, people from Jixia Academy came forward.
"clang."
The bell rings.
The great scholar in the academy spoke out.
"This defense has no conclusion."
"All students under my command can express their own opinions."
At this time, the voice of the great Confucian sounded.
Since Taoist Yunshou and Confucian Zhongyang couldn't tell the difference, they let the students present debate.
Of course, even if a certain student wins, Taoist Yunshou and Zhongyang Confucian will ultimately have to refute. Unless they can be persuaded, it will still be useless.
"Students believe that Confucianism and Taoism should receive the destiny of heaven, and that Confucianism and Taoism should be the destiny of heaven to educate all people."
Immediately, some scholars spoke up, and naturally they supported Confucianism and Taoism at this time.
"joke."
"My Taoist sect can also teach all peoples. Furthermore, if you study Confucianism and Taoism from a young age, by the time you are 20 or 30 years old, you are just getting started."
"Study for the imperial examination, enter the court and serve as an official, and bring benefits to one party, at least forty years of age. Forty years are ahead of you. Can the people of the world wait for forty years?"
"Furthermore, forty years later, people are already aging. When they are seventy or eighty years old, half of their bodies are submerged in the loess. Let's not say whether they can achieve great enlightenment. Even if they become enlightened, what will happen? After half a century, they will pass away."
"What can it be passed down? And what blessing can it bring to the people of this world?"
"As for my Immortal Way, if everyone practices it, he will live forever and be immortal for thousands of years. If he practices hard for five hundred years, he can save people in trouble, subjugate demons and eliminate demons. Golden elixir monks can benefit the common people for five hundred years."
"Can you do it?"
At this time, the Taoist monk opened his mouth to compare this.
However, the Confucian and Taoist scholars are all at a loss for words.
"Master Hou, why don't you say a few words?"
"Mr. Gu, these monks are talking some nonsense here. What do you want to say?"
At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Gu Jinnian.
If they couldn't solve the problem, they could only turn to Gu Jinnian.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian smiled bitterly.
The purpose of his coming to Jixia Academy this time was to learn more, not to show off.
Including the chess game at the beginning, he really didn’t want to win, and even the Buddhist debate, Gu Jinnian would not have come forward if he didn’t have a grudge.
Now I'm listening to everyone's requests.
Gu Jinnian shook his head and said.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's Confucianism, Immortalism, or Buddhism."
"Gu believes that it is difficult for him to obtain his destiny."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.
The voice fell.
It instantly caused controversy.
Even the great scholar Zhongyang and Taoist Yunshou couldn't help but look at Gu Jinnian.
They were actually waiting for Gu Jinnian to say something.
But I didn't expect that Gu Jinnian would actually say such a thing?
“If it is not Confucianism, Buddhism or Taoism, is it possible that it is still the way of demons?”
Listening to Taoist Yunshou's voice, Gu Jinnian expressed his thoughts calmly.
"What is the way of a dynasty?"
Zhongyang Daru opened his mouth and asked Gu Jinnian.
"Rule the country by law, and everyone is equal under the law."
"Ruling the country with etiquette, thinking first, you can read books and teach the people, you can cultivate immortals and conquer demons, you can recite sutras and pray for blessings, and you can also work for all living beings, plowing the fields at sunrise and returning home at sunset, with simple meals."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and answered.
"Can you be more specific?"
Zhongyang Daru continued to ask.
"Books share the same text, carriages run on the same track, weights and measures are unified, and heaven and earth are unified."
"There is no such thing as a family in learning."
"No one is born high."
"Under the law, all living beings are equal."
"Under etiquette, moral character can shape the body."
"This is the way of the dynasty, the way of everything."
"Whether it's an immortal or a Buddha, all the Dharma is conceived in it, all things are replaced, life and death are endless, the dynasty is immortal, and it will never be destroyed for eternity."
Gu Jinnian gave the answer.
In fact, all interests came first, but Gu Jinnian's idea was to be selfless, unite the four seas, and unify the world. At that time, there would be no disasters or wars.
Books share the same text, and cars share the same track.
If the people live and work in peace and contentment, those who are motivated can work hard on their own, and those who are not motivated can just be ordinary people in peace and contentment.
Eat three meals a day, eat and drink enough, don’t run around for life, don’t worry about a few taels of silver.
This is what truly suits destiny.
Although, this can't be done.
But at least this is a direction.
"good."
After hearing this, Zhongyang Great Confucian praised him greatly.
He is a representative of Confucianism and Taoism, but when Gu Jinnian said such words, he couldn't help but applaud.
"Books share the same text, and cars share the same track."
"I admire this kind of ambition."
"Compared with Mr. Gu, I'm like a frog in a well. It's really ridiculous."
"I admit defeat."
At this moment, the great scholar Zhongyang spoke and bowed to Gu Jinnian.
In terms of thought, Gu Jinnian's thought is much better than his. After all, Zhongyang Confucianism is still for Confucianism and Taoism, and his goal is to be scholars.
Gu Jinnian's goal is to serve the world, and he has a direction to pursue it.
As long as you keep working hard, one day it might happen.
Watching Zhongyang Daru admit defeat.
Taoist Yunshou frowned a little, because what Gu Jinnian said was so good, and he didn't know how to answer this ambition.
But let yourself just admit defeat.
He was a little unwilling.
"My Taoist friend's words are indeed good."
"But what fellow Taoist said seems to be illusory. How can there be no distinction between three, six, and nine people when there are people?"
"The unification of a dynasty depends on the emperor. If you meet a wise king, the dynasty will be prosperous. If you meet a faint king, the people will not live in peace."
Taoist Yunshou spoke.
Point the finger at the emperor.
This topic is very sharp, and everyone can understand what it means.
Don't give random answers.
Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for Gu Jinnian.
"If you cultivate immortality and live forever, wouldn't it be ethereal?"
"Furthermore, how many people from ancient times to the present have truly become immortals?"
"Even if you become an immortal, transcend tribulations, ascend to another world, how can you benefit the people of the world?"
"Gu's ambition is indeed vague, but he will do it."
"Gu took one step forward today and another step tomorrow. Maybe one day Gu will fall down, but no matter how many steps he takes, he will open the way for future generations of scholars."
"One day."
"This road will come to an end."
"No matter how misty it is, at least the road is at Gu's feet."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
Speak out your ideals and your determination.
"That is nice."
"The road is at your feet, so the road is at your feet."
"No wonder Gu Gong was appointed by Confucius as a saint for future generations."
"Just such ambition and will make me really ashamed."
"Pull the way for future generations."
"That's really good to say."
Tens of thousands of scholars admired it, and some great scholars nodded repeatedly, feeling that what Gu Jinnian said was so good.
Faced with such a determined Gu Jinnian, Taoist Yunshou finally sighed.
He didn't expect that Gu Jinnian would be so determined and have such ambitions.
He didn't lose in this defense, he didn't lose at all, but Gu Jinnian did win.
"clang."
The bell rang again.
At this moment, there was a burst of cheers.
However, everyone's expectations are even stronger, because the third level is the academic battle.
That is the biggest highlight.
"You see, the ancient star of destiny has changed."
Someone suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the situation above the sky, and said excitedly.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked towards the sky.
indeed.
The ancient star trembled and condensed with terrifying light. The original destiny ancient star could not be seen clearly when standing on the ground. Now it is extremely red and inexplicably makes people feel scary.
This is very strange, and people don't know what to say.
"It seems that destiny will come to this world soon."
"Well, it's very possible."
"The destiny has arrived, and the great battle of the world is about to begin. I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse."
The scholars discussed it.
And at this moment.
Inside the Jixia Academy.
Another bell rang.
"The third level."
"Academic Controversy."
"Please move to the back hall."
As this voice sounded.
Everyone withdrew their gaze and walked towards the back hall one by one.
Gu Jinnian also walked forward.
But at this moment, a figure appeared next to Gu Jinnian.
It is the figure of Su Wenjing.
"Jin Nian."
"Are you really not sure?"
Su Wenjing appeared again, his eyes full of curiosity.
"kindness."
Gu Jinnian nodded. He still didn't fully understand the unity of knowledge and action, and he didn't dare to say any harsh words.
"well."
Hearing this, Su Wenjing felt helpless, but didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh.
"Sir, when you come back, have you won?"
Gu Jinnian did not worry about academics, but asked Su Wenjing if he had won if he came back at this time.
"Didn't win."
"But I didn't lose anywhere."
"Jinnian, no matter what happens later, don't say anything. I'm here."
Su Wenjing spoke and patted Gu Jinnian on the shoulder.
The momentum has been built.
If later Gu Jinnian takes the initiative to explain that he has not learned anything new yet, this will not be a good thing for Gu Jinnian.
In his opinion, Gu Jinnian should take an invincible path.
Sing all the way.
Now, it has been discontinued academically.
This is not a good thing.
Maybe Gu Jinnian doesn't care, but it's not a good thing for the general trend of the world.
Especially when destiny is about to come.
The expectations of scholars all over the world for Gu Jinnian are also a kind of destiny. If Gu Jinnian takes the initiative to admit that he is not good, it will indeed cause some bad things.
"gentlemen."
"some things."
"There's no need to hide."
"I have my own ideas."
Hearing what Su Wenjing said, Gu Jinnian shook his head. He knew that Su Wenjing meant well, but he knew better.
I have to start facing myself.
Especially if you want to get in touch with the Holy Way.
Su Wenjing couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he finally nodded and said nothing more.
in this way.
Everyone came to the back hall.
In the back hall of Jixia Academy.
There is only one martial arts stage.
On the martial arts stage.
There were already more than twenty people sitting there.
The Seven Sages of Zhushan, the great Confucians of various countries, all have their own academic disciplines. They are here today, waiting for the arrival of Gu Jinnian.
When Gu Jinnian appeared in everyone's eyes.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire venue changed.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Gu Jinnian.
Previously, Su Wenjing said that Gu Jinnian would come with Supreme New School.
So much so that in the entire Jixia Academy, everyone was paying attention to Gu Jinnian, and any different voices would be suppressed.
They didn't hate Gu Jinnian.
It's this atmosphere that makes them feel very unhappy, although they can't guarantee whether Gu Jinnian has brought supreme new learning.
But no matter what, if you raise objections and get criticized, how can this situation not be annoying?
Naturally, they focused their dissatisfaction on Gu Jinnian.
Of course, they would not take the initiative to criticize Gu Jinnian, but would wait for Gu Jinnian to say something new.
If any problems are found, they will be criticized mercilessly.
soon.
Thousands of people gathered, and everyone's expressions were full of anticipation.
Waiting for Gu Jinnian’s new learning.
How will it shake the world, and how will it subvert Confucianism and Taoism?
At this moment, even the dean of Jixia Academy appeared. He stood aside and seemed not to want to miss this academic battle.
After all, there is no new learning.
So attractive.
"Hearing the saints of the hereafter, I have understood the supreme new learning."
"Please also invite Mr. Gu to come on stage and let us listen to you for a moment, what is the supreme new learning?"
At this moment.
The voice sounded.
This is a great scholar from the Xiongnu kingdom.
He was very direct. Since it was an academic dispute, there was no need to beat around the bush and just let Gu Jinnian come forward.
As the sound rang out.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Gu Jinnian.
All eyes.
Gathered on Gu Jinnian.
90% of it is anticipation and 10% of it is curiosity.
Having said so much, it is still unknown whether there is any supreme new learning.
Feeling the attention of everyone, Gu Jinnian looked extremely calm and said.
"I have learned something new."
"But I haven't fully understood it yet."
"It takes time to understand and sort it out."
When Gu Jinnian spoke, he explained the situation directly and generously.
But as soon as I said this.
The scene instantly became heated.
"Not fully enlightened?"
"Didn't you say you have understood it clearly?"
"In other words, you won't be able to hear the Supreme New Learning today?"
"How is this going?"
"Didn't he say that Gu Jinnian was going to bring the Supreme New School here?"
Everyone didn't know what to say at all. They thought that Gu Jinnian came with Supreme New School this time.
But never thought that Gu Jinnian hadn't fully understood this philosophy yet?
This is really disappointing.
Among the crowd, Chang Yuntian couldn't help but let out a long breath after hearing this.
He was overjoyed.
He couldn't help but clenched his fists.
He guessed correctly.
It is impossible for Gu Jinnian to comprehend the supreme new learning.
"How long will it take?"
"Is three days enough?"
"It's impossible, why should I continue to delay it for you for half a year?"
At this moment, the voice of the Xiongnu great scholar sounded again.
He was a little confused, frowning, with a somewhat unkind tone.
Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with Jixia Academy's delay for half a year, but after all, there was a great summer disaster, and Gu Jinnian was indeed talented, so most people still hoped that Confucianism and Taoism would produce a peerless genius.
Create new learning and lead new Confucianism and Taoism.
So he had nothing to say. When he came to Jixia Academy, Su Wenjing took the lead in praising Gu Jinnian, which led to countless people bragging about Gu Jinnian. Anyone who dared to question would be criticized.
And he was one of those people who raised questions and was criticized to pieces.
Now that Gu Jinnian said that he had no new knowledge, naturally he couldn't help but speak. It was unclear whether it was with national hatred, but it was definitely with personal hatred.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but frown slightly. He looked up and looked at the great scholar from the Xiongnu Kingdom.
"The theory of new learning itself requires a long time to study. If I don't understand it, how can it be revealed to the world?"
"Furthermore, is it wrong for Gu to learn nothing new?"
"Could it be that you have some new knowledge?"
Gu Jinnian said, "What can the great scholars from other countries say? How dare the great scholars from the Xiongnu country dare to shout in front of him?"
"Of course I don't have any new knowledge."
"But some people say you have."
"Mr. Wenjing came to Jixia Academy and praised you to the sky, saying that you created a new supreme school."
"I want to shock the world in the academy."
"Anyone who dares to raise any questions will be severely criticized."
"Now, you can't tell me, why don't you allow me to say a few words?"
"You're really overbearing."
The latter was obviously not afraid of Gu Jinnian. He was a great scholar in the Xiongnu country, but he was not a scholar in the Xia Dynasty. There was a national feud between the two, and he was not happy looking after Gu Jinnian.
What if we just speak directly?
Is it possible that it is hidden? Or is it a strange yin and yang force?
This is not necessary, it is better to be more direct.
Hearing this, Su Wenjing's voice couldn't help but rang out.
"I'm just a little bit arrogant."
"I apologize to you all."
"I misunderstood."
At this time, Su Wenjing could only come forward and apologize to everyone.
Naturally, he hoped that Gu Jinnian could create a new supreme learning, but Su Wenjing also gradually realized something.
That is, Gu Jinnian is not a god, and he is still a little unfavorable, which is not good and drags down Gu Jinnian.
Su Wenjing's apology.
Let everyone be somewhat silent.
They did not hope for such a result, and Su Wenjing's apology did not mean much to them.
"That's it."
"In the future, I still hope that Mr. Wenjing will not create chaos."
"As a half-saint, why bother doing this?"
At this time, the great scholar from the Fuluo Dynasty also spoke, but he was not as fierce as the great scholar from the Xiongnu Kingdom, but he was still somewhat displeased.
"Why."
"I am indeed looking forward to the supreme new learning."
"It seems that I have overthought it."
There were also some great scholars who spoke up and behaved very normally. They didn't blame anything, they just felt sorry.
"How can the supreme new learning be so easy?"
"Seven of us and I have been studying hard for half our lives, but we still can't figure out a thing or two."
"It's not that I think Gu Jinnian is unworthy, but that the new learning itself requires a certain amount of understanding before it can be realized."
"This is not a Taoist scripture, nor is it a Buddhist scripture."
"How can the new Confucianism and Taoism be so simple? If Gu Jinnian really came up with the supreme new learning today, I would not believe it."
"But, Gu Jinnian, you are very good at retreating despite difficulties."
"Children can be taught."
At this moment, the Seven Sages of Zhushan spoke, but his words sounded a little strange.
There is no hostility.
But it always feels a little strange.
"okay."
"Since there is nothing new to learn."
"I'll start soon."
When the great Confucians of the Xiongnu Kingdom spoke, he didn't bother to pay attention, but explained their scholarship.
Under the martial arts stage.
Gu Jinnian watched all this quietly.
He didn't argue.
There was no quarrel either.
This is not necessary.
However, everyone's gazes became more and more uncomfortable. Everyone was waiting for Gu Jinnian's new supreme knowledge.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be nothing in the end.
This made everyone feel very sad.
On the martial arts stage, the great scholars have begun to explain their academic knowledge to each other.
Can perform martial arts off stage.
Tens of thousands of eyes were still focused on Gu Jinnian, they hoped that Gu Jinnian would reveal the new supreme knowledge.
Unfortunately.
Gu Jinnian did not respond to them, but sat down cross-legged to listen quietly to the academic sermons of these great scholars.
It seems that I feel the attitude of everyone.
On the martial arts stage.
The great scholar of the Xiongnu Kingdom frowned a little. What was originally an academic dispute seemed to have turned into Gu Jinnian's personal show. Gu Jinnian had no new knowledge now, but these people still kept thinking about it.
He kept looking at Gu Jinnian, they were talking about academics here and no one was listening.
How is this not annoying?
"The way of etiquette lies in sincerity, humility, and seeking truth from facts."
"A true scholar should have a sincere heart and be humble. If he succeeds as a young man, he should know better that there is something beyond the sky, and he should pay attention to seeking truth from facts. If there is nothing, there is nothing, and if there is, there is."
"It is not advisable to rely on building momentum to achieve your goals."
"More importantly, there should be respect."
The great scholar from the Xiongnu Kingdom opened his mouth to explain the etiquette, but when he said this, he looked at the many young students with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.
"If you don't want to listen to this scholarship, you can leave. Each one of you has come to Jixia Academy, but you don't want to listen to the scholarship."
"What's the point?"
"Are you here just to see some fake things?"
He spoke, his voice cold and displeased.
Not only him, half of the great scholars on the martial arts stage were a little emotional. They were celebrities and great scholars from all over the world.
Each one has a very high prestige.
If there is a lecture class on weekdays, I don’t know how many people will come to listen. There will even be people who go all the way and come all the way just to listen to their lectures.
But now, these scholars are looking at Gu Jinnian one by one. How can this make them not angry?
Before, Gu Jinnian's campaign made them very unhappy.
Regardless of whether it was Gu Jinnian's intention or not, there was something wrong with Su Wenjing's campaign.
Now, a good academic lecture hall is being ignored?
Is it possible to say that you are not angry?
After hearing this, all the students couldn't help but come back to their senses.
At this moment, Gu Jinnian had not spoken yet. It was obvious that Gu Jinnian was not telling lies.
He has no new knowledge.
Completely shattered their expectations.
indeed.
This great scholar from the Xiongnu Kingdom had various meanings in his words, but Gu Jinnian was indeed not moved at all.
It is impossible to say that there are no emotions.
However, Gu Jinnian understood the purpose of his trip here.
He is here to learn.
On the way here, Gu Jinnian knew in his heart that he came to Jixia Academy either to teach some new supreme knowledge or to learn.
I want to improve my knowledge through learning.
Of course, when faced with the Xiongnu scholar speaking like this, Gu Jinnian had emotions, but he was able to suppress them. He understood the other person.
After all, he was the one who created the momentum and caused some things that shouldn't have happened. It was his fault.
Although it was not my own initiative, in the end I still had no reason to do so.
In this way, he did not want to explain too much, nor did he want to argue. He listened to the academic lectures peacefully and understood them well. In this way, his purpose of coming here was achieved.
Furthermore, it is not a good thing that Jixia Academy has delayed him for half a year and he cannot get anything out. If he still makes trouble here, it will be somewhat unjustifiable.
Combine the above.
Gu Jinnian did not get emotional, but kept silent.
Look at everyone being honest.
The great Confucian of the Xiongnu Kingdom was somewhat satisfied.
Then they continued to talk about academics.
"I believe that Confucianism and Taoism should continue to maintain etiquette."
"People are rude, not people."
"Now that destiny is imminent, the great world will come soon. If people are rude, they may be arrogant, which will lead to fights and spread to the world."
"Similarly, in the affairs between the two countries, peace is the most important thing. It is a national courtesy and a royal courtesy. However, because of the issue of human courtesy, the two countries went to war, resulting in countless casualties."
"In a war, everyone is a loser. If people are not polite enough, maybe a word about the rise and fall of the people is likely to become the driving force of the war, causing countless people to be separated from their wives and children, and displaced."
A great Confucian from the Xiongnu Kingdom spoke out and advocated etiquette as orthodox scholarship.
But he used this incident as a metaphor, overtly or covertly, to more or less ridicule Gu Jinnian.
Obviously, he seems to have a grudge against Gu Jinnian.
Because it is very targeted.
So much so that Gu Jinnian couldn't help but frown.
"His nephew died under flint."
At this moment, Su Wenjing's voice sounded in Gu Jinnian's ears.
After hearing this, Gu Jinnian understood clearly.
No wonder this guy is so hostile to me. I didn't expect it to be because of this incident.
Somewhat helpless.
But now that he understood, Gu Jinnian still tolerated it a little.
"The way of etiquette and law is certainly good, but destiny is about to come, and if we still focus on etiquette and law, there is still something wrong after all."
"We need new scholarship and a different way of thinking."
One of the Seven Sages of Zhushan spoke up. He recognized etiquette, but he also felt that Confucianism and Taoism have been dominated by etiquette from ancient times to the present.
Now that it's time, it's time to change.
After saying this, he continued to speak out and elaborated on his views on the new learning.
Then, he proposed his new learning.
Class education.
The general meaning is that destiny is about to come, and everything in heaven and earth is determined. It is better to divide scholars into several grades and then prescribe the right medicine. The more talented people are, the more effort they should put into them and cultivate them well.
People without talent should not study.
Just need to understand some principles.
This idea was proposed.
Indeed, many people nodded and thought it was feasible.
However, after Gu Jinnian heard this, he couldn't help but said.
"gentlemen."
"Isn't this kind of new learning just learning?"
"If this method is implemented, does it mean that the class of scholars will be solidified?"
"Furthermore, teachers should teach without distinction. If they give up directly because of poor qualifications, wouldn't it be unfair?"
"Also, how do you classify qualifications? How do you evaluate whether you are good or not? Who is not a sage and has no faults? If students make mistakes, so do teachers."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
Since I understand that I am here to study, naturally when I hear something is wrong, I should ask about it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, what is the point of coming here regardless of what others say and what you listen to?
Hearing this, one of the Seven Sages of Zhushan couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't expect that Gu Jinnian would criticize him immediately.
But, I haven't waited for him to say anything yet.
The great scholar of the Xiongnu Kingdom spoke again.
"You don't understand academics."
"I'm not qualified to speak out yet."
"Listen, just listen carefully."
He opened his mouth and scolded Gu Jinnian for asking too much.
As soon as this statement came out.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but frown.
After all, I am also a great scholar of heaven and earth, right? Considering my young age, do you really regard yourself as a senior?
I can understand my emotions, but how many times have I suppressed them?
"Since this is an academic dispute, isn't it normal to raise questions?"
"If you are always emotional, you have no right to sit on it."
At this time, Su Wenjing's voice sounded.
Although he knew that he was wrong in creating momentum, he couldn't bear to see someone suppressing his students like this?
Horse riding.
After all, Gu Jinnian is also a great Confucian in the world. If you really want to talk about Confucianism and Taoism, he is no worse than you guys, right?
Just keep targeting?
That's almost it, right?
Do you want this?
Hearing Su Wenjing speak like this, everyone on the martial arts stage became a little silent. The great scholar from the Xiongnu Kingdom looked unhappy, and the Seven Sages of Zhushan didn't know what to say.
"In academic disputes, anyone can ask questions and question."
"Gu Jinnian is right."
At this moment, the dean of Jixia Academy spoke up and acknowledged Gu Jinnian.
As the dean opened his mouth, the dozens of great scholars on the stage had nothing to say.
"Since students are divided into three, six or nine grades, the master must also be divided into three, six or nine grades. According to this classification, as for the qualifications, some of them can be seen in the first three years of private school."
"Of course, although there is a saying that stupid birds fly first and diligence can make up for stupidity, all resources are limited, and it is impossible to put limited resources on endless students."
"Extraordinary times require urgent responses. After the destiny comes, all countries and religions will do their best to fight for the destiny."
"We, Confucianism and Taoism, urgently need to cultivate a group of outstanding heroes, otherwise we will have no chance of winning in this great world war."
One of the Seven Sages of Zhushan spoke up and answered Gu Jinnian's question.
In fact, this is elite education.
Gu Jinnian understood after hearing this.
Elite education is good, but the most terrifying thing about elite education is the solidification of classes. Once class solidification is formed, it will not be a good thing for countless people in future generations.
It's easy to say at the beginning that a group of people have become knowledgeable scholars through elite training, and they may learn from the previous generation.
But as one’s own offspring are born, including the second, third, and fourth generations under various interests.
By the time we reach the fourth generation, the classes will basically be completely solidified and a school of learning will be formed so that knowledge will not leak out.
In this way, for those who are officials, their sons will continue to be officials, and for those who are rich, their sons will continue to be rich after they are born.
The poor are poor all their lives. In front of them, every class is insurmountable.
Your father is a laborer, and you are a laborer.
If your father is a tenant, you are a tenant.
Even if you have talent, even if you have a heart that wants to change your destiny, under the terrifying class rule, you can only be your ox and horse, an ambitious ox and horse, nothing more.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian stood up, shook his head and said.
"I don't approve."
"People cannot be divided into three, six or nine grades."
"Scholars cannot be divided into three or six categories."
"Everyone is born the same. If there are grades of three, six or nine, there will be disasters in the school."
"At that time, the son of a scholar will still be a scholar."
"The son of a poor man is still a poor man."
"This kind of thing can cause disaster."
Gu Jinnian shook his head, he was very resistant.
Although there are three, six or nine levels in the dynasty, this is the need for governance. Soldiers are born and die, and officials live and die. In addition to reputation, the more important thing is for future generations.
The emperor chose to do this in order to rule the country and had nothing to say.
But scholars also engage in this kind of academic clique and class. Isn’t this nonsense?
Listening to Gu Jinnian's objection, all the Seven Sages of Zhushan frowned. This was something they had studied for decades, and now it was directly denied by Gu Jinnian. Naturally, they were unhappy.
"Then do you dare to ask Mr. Gu if he has any better new knowledge?"
They opened their mouths and asked Gu Jinnian.
“What does this have to do with whether I learned anything new?”
"Your academic work is simply not feasible."
Gu Jinnian spoke up. He was a little annoyed when he heard this new lesson. Why couldn't he speak without the new lesson?
That doesn’t make sense, right?
"Concentrated education, although there are flaws, at least I don't think the problem is big, as long as you know the etiquette."
"Furthermore, Zhou Bo, the great Confucian scholar, has just said that extraordinary times call for extraordinary responses."
"You are obviously here to find fault."
"You failed to create momentum yourself, and now you are here to find fault? What are your intentions?"
The great scholar of the Xiongnu Kingdom spoke, looking very angry.
I feel that Gu Jinnian is clearly here to find fault.
In fact, it's not a big deal to find fault, it's even normal. Everyone would criticize each other, but the problem is still the same as before.
Gu Jinnian builds momentum.
As a result, after building momentum, nothing can be said.
When people say something, Gu Jinnian directly denies it and doesn't give others a chance.
This is naturally offensive.
However, if Gu Jinnian didn't speak, he would speak out and express what he felt was unreasonable.
It can be seen that Gu Jinnian and the Seven Sages of Zhushan are fighting each other.
He directly chose to help the Seven Sages of Zhushan.
"Gu Gong."
"If you hadn't deliberately created momentum before, I would quite support you."
"But the previous campaign also made me feel that Mr. Gu was a little deliberate?"
At this time, the great Confucian from the Fuluo Dynasty also spoke.
I think Gu Jinnian is stirring up trouble here.
"The academic dispute itself is about the word dispute."
"Gu Gongzheng is not wrong, but you might as well talk about your knowledge."
"I just heard Mr. Gu say that he hasn't completely figured it out yet. In other words, he still has some thoughts of his own."
"How about taking it out and we can discuss it together?"
At this time, the great scholar of the Jin Dynasty spoke out, but his words seemed to be trying to smooth things over, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they were still somewhat targeted.
In the face of these great scholars on the martial arts stage, you criticized me word by word.
Gu Jinnian's brows furrowed tightly.
"Academic Controversy."
"Why do you keep asking Gu to come up with something new?"
"Also, is this trend really created?"
"If you don't have virtue and ability, you won't be able to create this momentum, right?"
"Gu wants to ask."
"Is this academic dispute a discussion of academics, or is it here to quarrel?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
To be honest, Gu Jinnian had no patience for certain people, but since Jixia Academy had delayed him for half a year, he really couldn't mess around.
To restrain yourself.
This can be regarded as giving Jixia Academy face.
If it weren't for Jixia Academy, Gu Jinnian is not sure what he would have done.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Stand out from the crowd.
"Seniors, you are indeed a bit excessive."
"Gong Gu is a great scholar in the world, and his knowledge is astonishing. He is just modest and does not want to come up with new knowledge to avoid being too high-profile. Of course, students also believe that Gong Gu wants to study his knowledge thoroughly and then spread it to the world.
"
"But no matter what, I and other scholars have vivid memories of what Mr. Gu did. However, several seniors often targeted Mr. Gu because of their emotions in order to create momentum. Comparing the two, it is really clear who is superior and who is inferior."
The voice sounded.
Impassioned.
But this is disgusting to hear.
Doesn't this bring hatred to oneself?
Gu Jinnian looked over.
Don't know him.
"He is Chang Yuntian."
At this time, Su Wenjing's voice sounded, telling Gu Jinnian who this person was.
Everlasting sky?
In an instant, Gu Jinnian knew who it was.
The person who took out half a volume of scriptures about the Destiny Saint during the Great Summer Disaster.
This guy has no good intentions.
Sure enough, as Chang Yuntian said these words, more than 20 great scholars on the martial arts stage became a little unhappy.
"In that case, then please ask your Mr. Gu to come up with a new and unparalleled knowledge. Even if it is a semi-finished product, I will recognize it."
"The Supreme New Learning, even just a part of it, has different meanings as long as it is spoken. At the moment, I can't tell you anything new, but I would like to see what new learning Gu Gong can come up with."
"I also want to hear what the Supreme New Learning is."
At this moment.
The great scholars on the martial arts stage spoke one by one. The Seven Sages of Zhushan, as well as the Xiongnu Kingdom, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Dajin Dynasty, and almost more than half of the great scholars stood up.
Although some other great scholars were not too emotional, they were more or less unhappy after hearing Chang Yuntian's words.
This method of stepping on and holding one up is indeed disgusting.
In fact, under normal circumstances, these great scholars are not stupid, and they can immediately feel that there is something wrong with Chang Yuntian.
But because of the previous reasons, Su Wenjing built momentum for Gu Jinnian, only to question Gu Jinnian later.
Will be criticized. For this reason, when faced with Chang Yuntian's behavior, everyone really doesn't think there is any big problem.
Just think that Chang Yuntian admires Gu Jinnian too much.
Therefore, they will not hate Chang Yuntian due to Chang Yuntian's remarks, but they will hate Gu Jinnian even more.
Regardless of whether you, Gu Jinnian, secretly led this matter, the beneficiary is you, Gu Jinnian, and you will naturally have to bear the consequences.
"Gu still said the same thing."
"There is no supreme new learning."
"I have my own knowledge, but it is not mature, and Gu never said that this is the new supreme knowledge."
"Furthermore, this is Jixia Academy. You are currently engaged in an academic dispute. As a great scholar in the world, Gu is also an invitee. He has the right to question your academics and is also qualified to find fault."
"You are waiting here, always grasping at the new learning. Gu wants to ask, what does this mean?"
"Is it possible that without new learning, I am not qualified to discuss Taoism here?"
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly.
He didn't take the bait, but explained his thoughts and made it clear.
At the same time, he looked at Chang Yuntian, and just when he was about to speak, several voices rang out from the crowd.
"You're right."
"Without new learning, are you not qualified to discuss Taoism here?"
"Yes, since it is an academic dispute, what can Gong Gu do with a few words? As great Confucian scholars, don't you even have this bit of magnanimity?"
"So what if you find fault? The academic dispute itself can be fault-finding. If you are dissatisfied, you can just say what you think. Are you going to bully Mr. Gu?"
Two voices sounded, filled with dissatisfaction, criticizing the Seven Sages of Zhushan and the great scholars on the martial arts stage.
When Gu Jinnian heard these two voices, his expression became even more ugly.
At this juncture, it is a struggle between them, and no one should keep fanning the flames like this.
These remarks may seem to be helping oneself, but in fact they are harming oneself.
"Yes, what Mr. Gu said is correct."
"Since it is an academic dispute, why not let it be fought?"
"Yes, the academic dispute lies in this dispute."
"Indeed, if you want to establish a scholarly faction, there are three levels of scholars, which is really ridiculous."
Soon, some responses sounded. These people were really moved by the previous voices and expressed their dissatisfaction.
After all, the purpose of the Seven Sages of Zhushan is to form a sect and divide them into three, six or nine levels. Although it is not a bad thing for them, it does sound problematic after all.
"OK."
"It's really good. How many times have I been to this Jixia Academy? But it has never been like today. You use power to suppress people, not knowledge."
Zhou Bo, one of the Seven Sages of Zhushan, couldn't help but sneered.
"Gu Jinnian, a year ago you were suppressed by the Confucian family, and scholars all over the world criticized you. But now a year later, you have become the second Confucian family. See for yourself whether this situation is like the Confucian family's criticism of you in the past.
scene?"
Another great scholar spoke with a sneer.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with arguing. It is just like two people quarreling. Normally, a few words will stop the quarrel. Or when two people are trying to persuade each other, a few words will usually be enough.
Suddenly, an observer came and it was different.
The quarrel will continue, even endlessly, and it is not impossible that the quarrel will eventually break out.
The joining of Chang Yuntian and others changed the matter completely.
"enough."
Gu Jinnian spoke, and in an instant the entire hall fell completely silent.
The Changyuntian not far away looked calm, but there was a feeling of victory within my heart.
At this point, Gu Jinnian was riding a tiger, and he would either continue to quarrel with these great scholars.
Either he reprimanded these scholars, but no matter what he did, Gu Jinnian would not benefit.
"This is an academic dispute, not a quarrel."
"Jixia Academy delayed it for Gu for half a year. Gu appreciates this kindness."
"What Gu just said was not very clear."
"I hope you will continue to discuss this."
When Gu Jinnian spoke, he chose to take a step back and did not intend to continue arguing. This was pointless.
Likewise, Gu Jinnian looked at Chang Yuntian.
"Changyuntian."
"There are some things that don't require your participation."
"Go back to the crowd."
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly. He did not reprimand Chang Yuntian, nor did he angrily scold Chang Yuntian or anything, because in the eyes of others, Chang Yuntian was a person who respected him. If he reprimanded Chang Yuntian, they would be conflicted.
"Gong Gu, the students are just fighting for Gong Gu."
"Since we don't want to see Mr. Gu here, we can just leave. The students are willing to follow Mr. Gu and leave."
When Chang Yuntian heard this, he was neither humble nor arrogant.
It was as if Gu Jinnian had been greatly humiliated.
However, these words seemed extremely harsh in the ears of these Seven Sages of Zhushan and others.
"A good one to follow and leave?"
"Then it's better for us to leave. In this way, Marquis Tianming can directly pass three levels in a row, and everything will belong to the Marquis."
The great scholar of the Xiongnu Kingdom spoke out. At this time, he did not hide anything and was angry without mercy.
"Indeed, why don't we wait until this academic dispute is over?"
"I was also criticized for suppressing the younger generation."
"I approve."
The great Confucians of the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty stopped acting, and it was time for them to speak directly.
"go back."
at this time.
Gu Jinnian's eyes fell on Chang Yuntian. He still had patience, but only the last bit was left.
Listen to this.
Chang Yuntian continued to speak.
"Gu Gong."
"It's obviously their fault, why do you tolerate it?"
"The students are dissatisfied."
"You have done so many things for the common people in the world and saved countless people. Look at them all, each and every one of them has no moral character."
"Gong Gu, as I said before, if you leave, we will follow you and leave together. We don't want to listen to these bullshit scholars being noisy and harsh here."
Chang Yuntian is still disgusting here.
But I have to say that this disgusting method works.
"snort."
"He said one after another that I am a student."
"Nowadays, the real academic circle is right in front of us. It's really ridiculous."
"Let's go, it's come to this point, let's go too."
"Sure enough, this person who is creating momentum is just different. We can't compare to him. If he doesn't leave, staying here will only make more jokes."
"Academic dispute? Oh, let's build momentum."
"I'm so ashamed to be in your company."
At this moment, more than twenty great scholars on the martial arts stage set off one by one. At this time, they also left.
None of them could swallow this breath.
In the back hall.
Gu Jinnian looked at the long cloudy sky.
After hearing the voices of these people again, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He closed his eyes.
It seems as if he is very powerless.
Chang Yuntian, on the other hand, sneered in his heart.
However.
Just when these more than 20 great scholars stepped off the martial arts stage one after another.
Gu Jinnian's voice sounded slowly.
"Everyone."
"Wait a minute."
In an instant.
Countless eyes couldn't help but look over.
Everyone looked a little surprised.
Su Wenjing couldn't help but clenched his fists, as if he had thought of something.
And Gu Jinnian's eyes also became extremely firm and cold at this moment.
However, his eyes were fixed on Chang Yuntian.
The latter frowned slightly, inexplicably feeling a little dangerous.
