The dispute over the cochlear horn comes from "Zhuangzi", when Huizi met the people of Dai Jin.
Dai Jinren was a scholar during the Warring States Period. His identity is unknown. The only trace left in history is that King Wei Hui met him on the recommendation of others and left a very wonderful conversation.
These conversations were originally recorded in Zhuangzi's Miscellaneous Chapters.
Dai Jin asked King Hui of Wei, "Does your Majesty know that there is something called a snail?"
King Wei Hui said, "How could you not know this?"
Dai Jin said, "On the left tentacle of this snail there is a country called Chuguo, and on the right tentacle there is a country called Manguo!"
"These two countries often have wars over territory. Every time they fight, there are tens of thousands of dead bodies everywhere!"
"Sometimes it takes them fifteen days to go back and forth in order to chase down the defeated troops..."
"Hahaha... isn't this nonsense? You are a liar!" King Liang Hui laughed.
Dai Jinren shook his head indifferently, "This matter is very easy to prove. I would like to ask, Your Majesty, are our heads and feet, front and back, left and right, heaven and earth in all directions...is there any end?"
King Wei Hui looked up at the sky, then looked down at the ground, thinking about the endless Milky Way starry sky on a summer night, "Well... I think it should be endless!"
"Well...then please imagine, Your Majesty, if you can travel your spiritual consciousness to the endless realm, and reach all directions of the world...and then look back at the heroes of the Warring States Period who are connected in all directions..."
"Can you imagine this feeling?"
King Wei Hui was completely transported into that ethereal imagination. He seemed to really feel the perspective of a god who had access to the universe and then returned to overlook the human world.
"What an amazing feeling...I can only imagine it!"
"Hahaha..." Dai Jinren may really have some alchemy skills. He successfully allowed King Wei Hui to see a scene that he would never be able to see in his life.
"Your Majesty, please overlook the land from the clouds. Among the heroes of the Warring States Period extending in all directions, there is a small country called the State of Wei, and there is a city in the State of Wei called Liang Yi, and there is a great king in the city of Liang Yi called King Wei Hui... "
"Let me ask, what is the difference between King Hui of Wei and the leader of the Man Kingdom, the Man clan?"
After Dai Jin finished speaking, he walked away, leaving King Wei Hui in a daze. Finally, the king said quietly, "There is no difference at all!"
Xiao Letian's emotion today suddenly reminded Xiang Ying of this story, which has been circulated in China for thousands of years and is almost a myth.
Could it be that his master Xiao Letian also has magical powers similar to those of Dai Jin, and can travel to Taixu? Otherwise, why can he always be separated from national wars, ethnic conflicts, and murderous hatred?
Why can he do it? How could he kill people without letting the killing control his mind? How did he set his mind?
Xiao Letian looked back at Xiang Ying, the closed disciple who had troubled him so much. He knew that Xiang Ying had fallen into a conflict at this moment and urgently needed a warning.
"The fact that you can think of this story means that I didn't teach you in vain... There are many things that you need to understand on your own. If you have to give me some guidance, I think you still have to find the answer from this story..."
"This story has told you that you have to stand high to see problems. The higher you stand, the higher your spiritual realm will be!"
"Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the trends of the mountains and rivers clearly, and you can become an excellent military strategist or builder!"
"Standing on top of the clouds, you can see the ups and downs of the Central Plains, and you can become a strategist with a global perspective!"
"If you stand on the stars and the moon and look at this earth, then I think you will know how the gods view humans!"
"Unfortunately for you, you have never looked down on this blue planet from the misty sky... If you had really seen it, you would understand how ridiculous the hatred in the world is!"
"The war between the Huo Kingdom and the Barbarian Kingdom broke out on two snail tentacles, which is like a joke in our eyes... But don't forget, whether it is the Huo Kingdom or the Barbarian Kingdom, every living being trapped in it, You will also fall into emotional torture!"
"The sorrow of dead relatives! The terror when the enemy invades! The anger of revenge burns out the reason! Even those who are incapable of fighting must use their last breath to curse their opponents!"
"Such a war is fake and ridiculous, but human emotions in war are real. How do people who are trapped in it escape?"
"How can I give you the answers to these questions! Can I resolve the hatred in your heart, Xiang Ying? Even if I really take you to the sky to see the world, can you guarantee that you will forget the hatred in your heart?"
"Your question actually only involves your own practice. You should find the answer yourself..."
"But to your second question, I can give you a clear answer...how to face your enemies? Is it genocide? Is it negating everything?"
"It's not impossible to pay for a blood debt with blood, but you can't blindly trade your life for a blood debt!"
"In the face of the enemy, can you make rational judgments while never forgetting your hatred! Remember what is the best way to defeat the enemy?"
"You are living a better and better life than your enemies! This is the only way!"
"The enemy is not as good as you, don't be arrogant but be sure to widen the gap so that they can't catch up!"
"Where we are inferior to our enemies, we must humbly admit it and then work hard to catch up, instead of denying and slandering like a shrew!"
"Only when your economy is more developed, your people are richer, and your civilization is higher... you can truly defeat your enemy!"
"Maybe some people will say, shouldn't there be a war? Shouldn't the dog Tatars and Fuso ghosts be killed? Why aren't blood feuds avenged?"
"A person who falls into such emotions can only say that he has become a slave to his emotions!"
"Letting go does not mean forgetting. The purpose of letting go of hatred is not to be a slave of hatred... Of course war can be used. As long as war can bring benefits and the certainty of victory is more than 70% to 80%, why not war?"
"War killings should not be just to vent anger on the people! The purpose of war killings is to bring benefits and benefits to one's own nation and country!"
"If this war can bring actual benefits, then even if the enemy did not have a deep hatred against us before, we will still have to fight if we create hatred!"
"If the war cannot bring benefits and is very likely to destroy us, then even if the opponent was our life-and-death enemy before, and both sides have millions of lives in their blood, we still have to endure it!"
"It is not easy to do this. Facts have proved that in the history of mankind, very few people can become politicians. Compared with the huge population base, these people are really pitiful!"
"In the final analysis, ninety-nine percent of people in this world are slaves to their emotions! Very few people can control their emotions!"
"Haha...including you, Xiang Ying!"
Xiao Letian left Xiang Ying, who was completely stunned, and turned back to the cabin!
