Yu Sheng unknowingly said Qin Huan's remarks. After speaking, he listened quietly to the sound of water. After a while, without thinking more clearly, he said to Zhan Changfeng, "Your method doesn't work. What do you think is filial piety and what is self-cultivation?"
Talking about filial piety with Zhan Changfeng is undoubtedly a big pitfall. The emperor's family doesn't care about this. If they have to say it, they should respect their elders to a certain extent without involving their own interests.
But filial piety, as a humanistic means of governance, plays an extremely important role. But as a monk, these are not enough words.
Zhan Changfeng looked at the rushing water and said, "It's hard to generalize. Have you ever heard of China? The filial piety there advocates raising and respecting relatives, obeying and admonishing relatives, carrying on the family line, mourning relatives and doing meritorious service to honor parents. , in short, it is to ensure the parents’ life and death, continue their parents’ will, live like their parents, obey their parents’ orders, actively have children, and ensure that there are people to sacrifice their parents after their death.”
"The teacher's philosophy is partly the same as this, but I think it's unreasonable." Yu Sheng shook his head, "I agree with the practice of nurturing and respecting parents. The difference between humans and animals is here. But I don't think children should live Under the control of parents, people should have their own will, not someone else's puppet."
Yu Sheng considered, "I think filial piety can reflect a person's personality charm, not imprison a person's thoughts and will."
Zhan Changfeng said, "Don't you understand very well? Then what are you struggling with?"
"...What if parents don't deserve filial piety?"
"Repaying grievances with honesty or repaying grievances with kindness, isn't it your own choice?" Zhan Changfeng didn't quite understand this dilemma, "Can you give me an example?"
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, "For example, abandoning or killing children."
Zhan Changfeng thought about the children who were bought and sold by their biological parents, and the reality of exchanging children for food. "The parents are not parents, so why should they be filial? In my case, they have committed the crime of abandoning children. The crime of murder, at the very least It’s also a life sentence.”
In China's original concept, parents give their children life and have the power of life and death over them. Children are just accessories to their parents. They can be sold if they want, and no one will care about them even if they die.
This is the most vicious derogation of life.
Therefore, Zhan Changfeng's newly compiled laws point out the independence of people, and any behavior that maliciously endangers the life and health of others must be severely punished.
Correcting the two concepts of "women are men's accessories" and "children are parents' accessories" are the basic concepts in almost all her decrees.
Yu Sheng couldn't laugh or cry, thinking she was joking, "There is no such law in Zangyunjian."
"This is the loophole in Zangyunjian's rules, and it is also where it fails to balance the law and the ascetics."
Zangyunjian is a large collective, and there are also small groups such as aristocratic families and sects. They have their own rules, and almost all family rules and precepts include regulations for punishing the killing of disciples and clan members. This meant that the Si Xunfu could not stop them when they killed their disciples, and naturally there was no reason to care whether parents sold or abused their children.
Yu Sheng realized that she was wrong and she was discussing this issue seriously. Yu Sheng remembered that Mr. Lin once said that Zhan Changfeng proposed "laws to govern the country and laws to govern the world." Now that he thought about it seriously, it was indeed in line with this man's style.
"You seem to like to define right and wrong by a certain standard."
"There is no circle without rules, and the law is above all else." Zhan Changfeng said, "Creatures can confuse right and wrong, and can be affected by various factors in their judgment, but rules cannot. Even if you misinterpret it, it is still there."
Yu Sheng disagreed, "Rules are also set by people. How do you know that the rules must be right?"
"..."
Her question was not actually a question. Zhan Changfeng could answer it, but he swallowed the words that came to his lips and she fell silent.
She has been following her own plan to reestablish martial arts and formulate new laws and policies because she thinks she is right.
But why does she think she is right?
Zhan Changfeng returned to the beginning and thought of his original intention - to change the ideology of the people of China.
Why change.
Because she believed that the people of China had discredited the original information of life, everything she did was to restore life to its original appearance.
Why she is right.
Because her rules come from the source and are created to correct the consciousness of life that has slipped into the quagmire.
"This is the 'Tao' I have experienced!" Zhan Changfeng suddenly realized that rules, yes, they are rules.
She is here to make everything more in line with the rules.
The Dao embryo was growing into a seed. She answered Yu Sheng word by word, "I may have made mistakes, but my rules will not be wrong, because they are in the sky and in my heart, maintaining the operation of the trillions of worlds."
"Even though it has been twisted in thousands of ways, I know it has always been there, and I will bring it back to the world."
Zhan Changfeng was very cheerful and happy, but no matter how happy she was, she still had to face the reality of having no money, so she picked up the fishing rod and fished with a vertical line without saying anything else.
Yu Sheng came back to reality from her words and asked in surprise, "Is this fishing rod yours?"
"Otherwise what am I doing here."
“How to catch fish in running water?”
"He who wishes will take the bait." Zhan Changfeng held the pole, lazy and indifferent.
After the bell rang, the students went down the mountain and returned home one after another, and the sound of people gradually faded away.
In this quiet silence, Yu Sheng watched helplessly as a plump fish swung its tail upstream and bit the hook.
"..." Yu Sheng felt something was broken.
Zhan Changfeng pulled the fish up, thoughtfully, and after seeing Yu Sheng's staring eyes, he said expressionlessly, "This is mine, you can't steal it."
Who wants to rob it?
Yu Sheng was speechless, and then laughed.
Zhan Changfeng tied a knot with the grass rope for the fish and held it in his hand, "Actually, I think it doesn't make much sense whether you are filial or not. You just heard about China's filial piety. Is it still applicable to Zangyun Stream? "
"For the sake of sacrifice, China regards the inheritance of the family line as its norm, but in fact, death is like a lamp going out, all causes and effects are cut off, and it has nothing to do with you becoming a ghost."
"Moreover, most people in Zangyunjian are cultivating. Even if they don't practice, they are still martial arts masters in the mortal world. Regardless of martial arts, they are all seeking their own way. In this case, can they obey their parents' instructions?"
"Seeking the Tao is itself a process of staying away from distractions and searching for true knowledge. No one can go on it for others. What's more, in the future, if you have a deep connection with the Tao and become a monk, it is essential to cut off the worldly ties. At this time, blood ties will continue. It has to be cut off too.”
"Looking from afar, what you are troubled about today is really not worth mentioning, unless you have been an ordinary believer all your life and cannot escape the sight of the world."
Yu Sheng felt like he had been stabbed, "Oh, you either don't say anything, or you talk in such a way that it's hard for people to refute."
"I'm not just telling you, I'm also sorting out my thoughts." Zhan Changfeng took the fish and left.
Yu Sheng watched her go, feeling much more relaxed. Thinking back, he was also a capable person. He extended from filial piety to governance, and then back to monasticism. After being spared by her for so many times, his troubles were not worth it. carry.
There are many more scenery above, just take a look.
