To Gao Pragmatic, Ah Li is undoubtedly mysterious. Not only is her understanding and use of Gu superb, but she herself is also a mystery. The enigmatic red pupils, the enigmatic way of thinking, and the enigmatic words left to Gao Pragmatic at the end.
What Gao Pragmatic was particularly confused about was the "awe-inspiring aura" she called. If we just look at the meaning of the text, of course Gao Pragmatic knows what awe-inspiring Qi is. This word may have been first coined by Mencius. Mencius said: "I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring Qi. It is Qi. It is the most powerful and strong. It can be nourished directly without any If it is harmful, it is blocked between heaven and earth. It is Qi, which matches righteousness and Tao; if it is not right, it is discouraged. It is what is born from gathering righteousness, and it is not taken by righteousness."
According to the records in "Mencius Gongsun Chou", Mencius himself said that it was difficult for him to describe this aura of awe-inspiringness, but Mencius' meaning is still relatively clear, that is, the so-called "aura of awe-inspiringness" is formed by the accumulation of morality and justice over time.
This statement is really too "metaphysical" and can almost cross into the realm of metaphysics.
But the strange thing about Gao Pragmatic is that he, Gao, is the best at talking about conspiracies and tricks, but where does his aura of awe come from?
Unless, this aura of awe and conspiracy are not in conflict.
But this sounds really unreliable.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but wonder whether this girl Ali had some misunderstanding about the "Haoran Qi"? However, her voodoo skills are not something she is born with. That "scorpion and ghost voodoo" can distinguish the good and evil of people with the "awe-inspiring aura" should be a saying that has been passed down for thousands of years. If this is wrong, it should have been eliminated long ago. It’s only right that you discovered it.
Gao Pingshi was full of questions. He stood on the edge of Luoyuzhai and looked at the nearby Yao people terraced fields, frowning deeply.
He really hadn't thought about this kind of philosophical question for a long, long time, and he was a little dazed for a while.
"Mr. Zhang Buxu, are you thinking about Sister Ali?" Huang Zhiting came behind Gao Pragmatic at some point and asked with a strange expression.
"I was wondering what the 'aura of awe' she was talking about was." Gao pragmatically answered directly and openly.
This answer seemed to be a bit beyond Huang Zhiting's expectations. She was slightly startled before she couldn't help but laugh: "Although I haven't read it, this sentence should be from a Han classic, right? You are a scholar, but you don't know do you know?"
"This is what Mencius said. I naturally know it, but what Mencius said is too mysterious." Gao Pingshi shook his head and said: "Later, Su Shi - Su Dongpo, you know, right? He also explained this 'awe-inspiring spirit'. "
Huang Zhiting's eyes lit up: "Of course I know Su Dongpo, his talent..." She couldn't think of how to describe it, so she said: "In short, compared with you, he is the bright moon and you are the firefly."
Gao Pragmatic laughed: "That makes sense."
Huang Zhiting didn't care whether he was sincere or fake, and asked: "What did the layman Dongpo say?"
Gao pragmatically said: "He said, I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit. I do not stand according to shape, do not rely on strength, exist without waiting for life, and do not die with death. Therefore, they are stars in the sky, rivers and mountains on the ground, and mountains and rivers in the secluded area. Ghosts and gods, but Ming becomes human again.”
Huang Zhiting was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "What the layman Dongpo said is of course right, but... what does this mean?"
Gao pragmatically said: "Literally understood, Dongpo layman said that this awe-inspiring aura does not exist based on tangible things, does not flow through external forces, does not exist because of living, and will not disappear due to death. The awe-inspiring aura does not exist because of death. The sky will turn into endless stars, the earth will turn into mountains and rivers, when it is dark, it will turn into ghosts and gods, and when it is bright, it will turn into humans again.”
Huang Zhiting said depressedly: "I think this is a bit mysterious." After thinking about it, she asked again: "Then you have been thinking about it here for a long time and don't you have your own opinion?"
Gao pragmatic smiled: "Well... the phrase 'even though there are tens of thousands of people, I will go' I explained to you last time, I thought it was the aura of awe-inspiring people."
Huang Zhiting thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Is this where justice lies?"
Gao pragmatic nodded and said thoughtfully: "My understanding is that it is a fearless spirit born for the ideal in the heart."
Huang Zhiting thought about it seriously at first, then suddenly laughed and said teasingly: "Oh, so you, Mr. Zhang, are scared to death of snakes and insect poisons, but you still have a 'fearless spirit'?"
Gao Pragmatic did not laugh, but said thoughtfully: "The 'fearlessness' possessed by Haoran Qi does not mean that it is not afraid of death at any time. Its real fear is just that it cannot achieve its ideals."
His eyes suddenly brightened, a light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "I understand, in fact, the 'Qi of Haoran' is not mysterious, it is just the spirit of adhering to ideals and beliefs and working hard for them!"
"Oh...then what are your ideals and beliefs?" Huang Zhiting asked curiously: "Take the imperial examination and become a high official?"
Gao Pragmatic was startled, then smiled and said: "That's just a means, not a goal."
"Really?" Huang Zhiting seemed a little doubtful, and asked: "What is the goal? You don't mean to say 'to establish a heart for the world, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the unique knowledge of the saints, and to create peace for all generations.'" Bullshit, right?"
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but smile: "You all know the 'Four Sentences of Hengqu'?"
"Huh, you're looking down on people." Huang Zhiting said disdainfully: "Our Confucian teachers in Siming Mansion all like to talk about these four sentences, but what's the truth? On weekdays... if you say they do no evil, that's just flattering them. That’s all.”
Gao Pingshi laughed loudly, and after he finished laughing, he said, "Since you already said it was nonsense, why do you have the nerve to say it again?"
"Really? Is your goal more powerful than this?" Huang Zhiting blinked.
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "It's not as high-end as Hengqu Siyu."
Huang Zhiting was disappointed and sighed: "It seems like you Confucianists say there is no hope for you."
"That's okay, that's not my ideal anyway." Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly.
Huang Zhiting couldn't help but become curious again: "Well, since sister Ali said that you have a noble spirit, your ideals must be of some use, so let's hear it."
Gao pragmatic looked at the seemingly endless mountains in the distance and said softly: "I just hope to find a way out for my Chinese compatriots and the Yan and Huang Miao people."
Huang Zhiting thought for a while, frowned and said: "You mean the Han people? The Han people are good, so what kind of livelihood do you want? I think you might as well think of a way to find a way for us children, Yao people, and Miao people to make a living." "
"Silly girl." Gao Pingshi laughed: "The Tong people, Yao people, and Miao people you mentioned are originally Chinese Miao people. I have never classified them as barbarians in my heart."
Huang Zhiting looked surprised and said doubtfully: "Really? But I don't think the Han people have ever regarded these people as the same kind. Even people like us, the Huang family, who were originally Han people, but because they guarded the local people for too long, were slowly regarded as Become a foreign barbarian."
Gao pragmatically said seriously: "So this is exactly what I need to work hard on."
"Although I think you are whimsical..." Huang Zhiting smiled sweetly: "But I like this sentence very much, so I believe you."
Gao Pingshi smiled and said nothing. Huang Zhiting asked again: "Then who is the barbarian in your mind?"
"You will know in the future."
