After much searching, it turned out that it was those words that caused the trouble, but Zhan Changfeng had no regrets. As far as the matter was concerned, Confucius and Mencius were too specific. She could ask them to govern people, but she would not ask them to govern the world.
"What's confusing morality? It's because you don't know the way of Confucianism." Zhan Changfeng let go of Dongqing's friend and turned to look for Dongqing.
Dongqing was studying the scriptures in her cave. After hearing the boy's report, she became furious and said, "This King Linyao has gone too far to bully others. He insulted my Taoism and even came to make trouble."
Regardless of whether she was a spiritual judge or not, he had to compete with her today.
Dongqing strode out of the cave and saw Zhan Changfeng's figure. Before she could say her angry words, she was stopped by Wen Song and Jing Tianrui who were rushing over.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way. I will recommend Confucianism with my blood!"
"Hurry up, put your hands down, put them down!" Jing Tianrui pressed down his raised arms and pushed him towards the cave, dumbfounded. "It's all my fault for not explaining it to you."
Holly said angrily, "What's there to say?"
"Shut up, let's go and talk inside."
Jing Tianrui took Dongqing away, but Wen Song stood in front of Zhan Changfeng, raised his hands and said, "Brother Dongqing has a misunderstanding. Please forgive him for being ignorant. King Linyao, can you please go and chat with me?"
Let’s talk?”
"I'm afraid that your Confucianism and Taoism will ruin people's reputations. True Lord Dongqing must apologize."
"Okay, let Daoist Brother Tianrui talk to him first." Wen Song invited her to his cave and served hot tea. "The house is simple and simple, so I will let King Linyao stay for a while."
Zhan Changfeng looked at his cave. The stone couches and stone walls were rough and uneven, with natural carvings removed. The magic grass and fairy flowers growing in the cracks in the stones were probably the only bright colors.
She sat down on the stone pillar and asked, "What does Fellow Taoist Wen Song want from me?"
"You should not be called fellow Taoist." Wen Song sat down with his hands on his knees. "Young Taoist don't know something. Confucianism, Taoism and practicing the way of heaven are a thing of the past. Most of the monks in the sect are unaware and dare to ask
Where did you find out?"
"I know, that's why I said it at the beginning. I just said it casually, and those who understand will understand naturally." Zhan Changfeng answered his question, "Some of them are known in the Sutra Pavilion."
"It must be in the seventh or eighth floors where ordinary disciples cannot go up." Wen Song did not hold on to this problem, but said calmly, "From the way of heaven to the way of humanity, this is my way of survival. After the great destruction, the vitality of the nine heavens and the earth will
The source of life for my disciples has dropped by more than one level, the environment is also unstable, and the way of heaven is difficult to see. If you cling to it, you will undoubtedly seek the road to extinction."
Zhan Changfeng became a little more interested, "I heard that Taoist friend Song seems to have quite some insights."
"If nothing happens to King Linyao, I'll just say a few words." Hearing that there was a draft in Song's belly, he opened his mouth and said, "The ancestor of my lineage is Chu Lanling. He is the eldest disciple of Confucius and Mencius. He has also experienced
The old man who suffered great destruction is now honored as Supreme Sun Qing.
Confucius, Mencius, and Confucianism put forward many humanitarian ideas in order to implement humanity and continue the tradition, including inner saints and outer kings. In order to inspire the human race at that time, they regarded destiny as a blind dominant force and advocated judging benevolence based on the affection of relatives. However, in
Within our sect, we have never stopped exploring the destiny and the way of heaven.
In order to pass down the theory of heaven from our ancestors for a long time, my master integrated it into the way of humanity, and advocated the separation of heaven and man. Heaven is the natural world with certain laws and no good and evil. Humans are human beings. Heaven can create living things, and earth can
It contains things, but those who can govern the heaven and the earth are humans...or, in other words, intelligent beings."
"The way of heaven will not change due to the good and evil of living beings, but humans can understand the way of heaven, and thereby control the way of heaven and dominate the natural world. The existence of princes and emperors corresponds to the principle of 'controlling the destiny of heaven and using it'."
Speaking of this, after hearing that the Song Dynasty had offered help to the southeast, Zhan Changfeng glanced at it and saw a high mountain hidden in the fairy mist through the wall.
"In the sect, there is another idea that is opposite to the Wumai theory. They believe that heaven has its own consciousness, that the way of heaven is connected with all things, and that changes in the heavens are caused by all things and are a sign of good and bad fortune in the world, which is the so-called
Sensation from heaven and man, does King Linyao think this is right?"
Zhan Changfeng closed his eyes slightly, "Yes or no, this is heaven's retribution, the order of rewards and punishments in heaven, so it shouldn't be said to be conscious, nor can it be said to be completely in line with your pulse."
"King Linyao has unique insights, but there are some people in our sect who are increasingly exaggerating the role of destiny. This starts with the theory of good nature."
Hearing Song thought about it and thought about it again, "I believe that nature is inherently evil and should be enlightened. The country should also use both etiquette and law to govern the country, and follow the way of kings and dominators. The reason why sages appear is because they are wise, not because they are inherently good."
Other monks believe that nature is inherently good, and benevolent government can be achieved by expanding the heart of compassion, benevolence and justice, right and wrong, and good and evil. In combination with the so-called "influence between heaven and man", they greatly advocate benevolence and benevolence and require everyone to do so.
Act according to the destiny of heaven, and the destiny of heaven is the king whom heaven has decreed.”
Zhan Changfeng asked, "It's just that the two concepts are different. What's wrong with that?"
He slammed the table, "I don't talk about ideas, but I hate that these people have insulted the name of Confucianism and Taoism, distorted the will of the ancestors, and integrated such Confucianism and Taoism concepts to help the king maintain the order of dignity and control the people."
Wen Song didn't let go of her expression and asked, "King Linyao, you are also a king. Don't you want such a concept?"
"I want to Qi Wandao, so how can I emphasize what should or should not be done?" Zhan Changfeng twirled the ring on his finger, "Hearing the ideas of fellow Taoist Song Dynasty, maybe it will shine brightly. If you can go to Taiyi
It will be a great blessing for Taiyi."
Wen Song's back relaxed slightly, "I will consider it."
After Zhan Changfeng left, a monk in feathered clothes, as bright as the moon, appeared at the gate of Wen Song's cave.
"Brother Zi Zhuo." Wen Song welcomed him into the cave and said with a smile, "You're still here."
It turns out that this Zi Zhuo is from a hidden lineage that adheres to the way of heaven. Because I heard that the Song Dynasty lineage has some connection with him, the two have known each other for a long time and have a close friendship.
That day when he heard Zhan Changfeng talking about the Way of Heaven, he hurriedly told the news to Zi Zhuo, because there were too few princes and emperors who truly practiced the Way of Heaven, and they had to wait only a thousand years.
"Brother Dao, did you see King Linyao when you were outside?"
"Um."
As soon as Zi Zhuo's butt touched the stone pier, he heard Song and made a scene as if he was offering a treasure, "I've tested her for you. King Linyao is very good and sincerely wants to rule the world with the laws of heaven."
That scene was exactly the scene where he and Zhan Changfeng were talking.
Zi Zhuo read it seriously, then recalled the magnanimity he had glimpsed from afar, frowning and saying nothing.
Wen Song was a little anxious, "Brother Dao, I don't believe it. Why don't you talk to her in person?"
"I believe it, but I don't believe that a dynasty can implement it to the end."
"Brother Dao, don't think that way. If you look at it from another perspective, for example, because it is weak, it needs monks like you to help maintain it so that it can survive for a long time."
