Chapter 78: Quiet and Inaction

"Pah, pah, pah, pah"

The sermon received the loudest applause since its opening.

It was overwhelming and deafening.

Among the more than 2,000 people present, many of the casual and uninhibited spectators began to straighten their backs, sit upright, and look serious.

because.

At this moment, what is in front of them is a gentleman from hundreds of families!

Moreover, it is also a Taoist among several prominent sects, with extremely high gold content.

Many people even feel a bit dreamy.

Can I actually see a living Taoist gentleman today?

In today's Wangque Continent, gentlemen from hundreds of families may be even rarer than monks in the seventh realm, less than one palm.

Of course, this may be because Wangquezhou is too small, which can be seen from the fact that there are only two Confucian seventy-two academies.

The storm in Tunanzhou had too little impact on Wangquezhou, which is far away.

Chen Muzhi looked ugly, looked away from the stage, turned to Lin Wenruo and said bitterly: "Brother Wenruo, this, this..."

Lin Wenruo's expression was solemn, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and said, "We haven't lost yet."

But the voice trembled slightly at this time, and the determination in the tone was like a small boat in the rainstorm, which might be destroyed by a beast-like wave in the next second.

His eyes were slightly dim.

What kind of existence is a gentleman among hundreds of families? He is probably one of the most knowledgeable people on the field.

Because he is a scholar of Siqi Academy and a Confucian scholar.

Looking at the scholars all over the world, let alone Confucianism, they are all common people as long as they cannot enter a Confucian academy.

Only by becoming an academy student can one have the status of a scholar.

And above the scholars, there is the gentleman.

On the surface, it seems to be only a few steps away, but if you want to cross it, it will be like facing an abyss like a chasm.

The weight of these two words is like a mountain barbarian.

In his Siqi Academy alone, there are currently only three people with the title of gentleman in the entire academy. One is the Academy Headmaster, the other is a Confucian scholar who is low-key and devoted to teaching, and the third one is just now

A junior brother who was given the title by the Confucian Temple.

Gentleman is the mainstay of every school among hundreds of schools. This title is extremely difficult to obtain, and it has nothing to do with cultivation, only knowledge and moral character.

Thinking of his junior brother whom he had met several times, Lin Wenruo pursed his lips. He knew how "terrible" it was for someone to become a gentleman. And now on the stage, the one who was about to talk face to face with his friends was one of them.

Not far away, at the forefront were hundreds of blue-clad Taoist priests.

Lan Yuqing had remained expressionless since she had just withdrawn her gaze from the Lin brothers. But after the old man in Nanhua scarf revealed his identity that she already knew, she suddenly felt a little bored, not just in this Confucianism-Taoism debate.

At this moment, amidst the torrential applause, she did not mock someone as she had planned before, telling him that it was all part of her plan, and mocking him that in the face of absolute strength, all his conspiracies and tricks were ridiculous.

, she just looked at the piece of jade Ruyi that fell to the ground calmly, with no joy or sadness.

"No need to worry, niece."

Qing Yuanzi looked at Lan Yuqing's face and said with a smile: "The Lin family of Lanxi will never change the world. Mr. Tao is not only a Taoist gentleman, but also a great monk in the Nascent Soul Realm. Whether it is knowledge or experience, he is the one who connects with the world."

He is countless times better than the yellow-haired boy with no crown, how can he compare with Mr. Tao?"

"He has only been out of his mother's womb for more than ten years. Even if he doesn't eat and studies every day, can he still read the scriptures and latitudes of the world? Unless he can know it from birth like a saint. Haha, if he hadn't been worried that he was the disciple of the Academy Chief,

In the second game, Pindao chose him directly, so there was no need to trouble Mr. Tao."

Qing Yuanzi sighed; "Well, I don't know if Mr. Tao will have a grudge."

Qingjingzi, who was really looking at something, suddenly snorted coldly: "It's so easy for me to argue with a gentleman. Huh, I will go to hell soon, and I should die in peace."

Since he is not the disciple of the Academy Chief, there is no need to keep him alive.

Taoist priest Huang Zi reluctantly looked away from a certain little fox demon and turned his head to look at Qing Yuanzi.

"Senior brother, can you let Mr. Tao stay a little longer? He is a distinguished guest from afar, but he has troubled him because of this matter. We need to treat him well... Moreover, we have not contacted the Sect for many years.

Well, if Mr. Tao could put in a few kind words for us..."

Qing Yuanzi looked hesitant and a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. I visited many important people of the Shangzong at Jixia Academy. Only Mr. Tao agreed to come and see the ancestral land. He happened to be going to Taiqing Mansion to teach. I

I made some inquiries about his voice on the road and found out that Mr. Tao won't stay too long. As for speaking for us... how about we ask him again before he leaves?"

Lan Yuqing, who was standing next to the two of them, was at a loss for everything at this time. She lowered her head slightly and stared at the piece of white jade at her feet.

The milky white jade body was completely intact on the surface under the impact of just falling to the ground.

But she knew that this piece of beautiful jade produced in Zhongnan Mountain was already broken inside.

Suddenly, the woman in purple moved. Without saying a word, she stepped over the beautiful jade, pierced through the crowd, and strode away without looking back.

She suddenly wanted to see that piece of Guilin.

After the woman left, the conversation continued.

The applause in the pulpit gradually subsided.

Zhao Rong, who had experienced differential treatment, was not angry. He looked at the Taoist gentleman opposite him quietly and laughed at himself. I have another identity. I am afraid of scaring you if I tell you about it. I am a son-in-law. Are you afraid? This is the most popular thing in bookstores these days.

The starting identity of the protagonist in the novel...

The Liuyi layman said in a respectful tone: "Mr. Tao, please choose a topic."

At this time, it was approaching noon, the sun was bright but quiet.

Under the gaze of everyone, the old man named Tao Yuanran, an old man named Tao Yuanran, turned his head to the right, raised his right hand holding the rosary, stretched out a finger, and pointed far away outside the sermon platform, among the vast mountains in the south.

A wonderful sight.

It’s that cliff carving!

Tao Yuanran smiled and said: "Let's just argue about 'quiet and inactive'."

Zhao Rong looked calm and seemed to have already understood. However, the next moment, what the old man said made him narrow his eyes.

"I hold on to 'doing', you hold on to 'doing nothing'."

Zhao Rong narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Action or inaction has always been a dispute between Confucianism and Taoism.

But because the conversation is just a debate, not a question between Confucianism and Taoism, so Zhao Rong, as a Confucian scholar, holds the argument of "inaction", and Tao Yuanran, as a Taoist gentleman, holds the argument of "doing something".

Just fine.

In addition to eloquence, this also tests both parties' reading and understanding of Confucian and Taoist classics.

Everyone present saw this rather dramatic scene.

Taoist Tao Yuanran was the first to express his views.

"When the sky is strong, a gentleman will strive for self-improvement; when the terrain is turbulent, a gentleman will be virtuous. This means that a gentleman will achieve great things."

Confucian scholar Zhao Rong rebelled.

"The Tao is always inactive, and everything is done. If the princes and kings can keep it, all things will transform themselves. If you want to transform, I will suppress it with nameless simplicity. If you don't want to be quiet, the world will become self-conscious.

Certainly."
