Chapter 204 The Silent Genius (Part 1)
(It has not been revised yet, but you can check it out tomorrow!)
All the outer disciples present were young talents, and they were naturally familiar with the discussion of the "Path Source Sutra", so someone stood up from the crowd.
"Outer disciple Pang Ziming, I have met Elder Yuanhu and several seniors!" A lean young man stood up from the crowd first. He first bowed respectfully to the three people, and then replied loudly:
"The disciple believes that this theory of ascending to the Tao comes from the "Tao Yuan Zhen Sutra". It is our Taoist classic. The disciple has read it through it once since he became a disciple. Every time he has some impressions, he thinks that this is the method of ascending to the Tao. , lies in taking care of oneself and things, following the way of heaven and destroying human desires!..."
This Pang Ziming can be regarded as a well-educated man, and he has a thorough understanding of the way of heaven. If he dares to be the first person to stand up and answer questions, he naturally has two brushes. He has his own opinions on the interpretation of "Taoyuan Zhenjing", but overall, the answer is correct and does not deviate from the general direction. It is just that the wording is too absolute, and it is somewhat youthful and frivolous.
Elder Yuanhu nodded without making any further comments. It's not that Pang Ziming's answer was not good enough. According to the previous process of the Dao Promotion Conference, the three examiners set the questions separately, and they had to wait for everyone who participated in answering the questions to finish speaking before making a judgment. This stipulation is not unreasonable. After all, the first person to come forward to answer is more or less competent, but no matter how skilled he is, he still has to leave a chance for those who come after him to speak!
The lean-looking young man surnamed Pang briefly cupped his hands and then retreated to his seat. If he hadn't been the first to speak, it would have been difficult for him to attract others' attention with his appearance. Generally speaking, in this kind of "Ascension Conference" that is similar to an interview, the first person to stand up and speak out will more or less take credit for the content, but correspondingly, the rating will be higher than the actual presentation. A little lower.
…
After that, three more outer disciples came forward one after another and answered this question. Since the first man named Pang had already explained the "Taoyuan Zhenjing" very thoroughly, the three of them mostly looked for arguments from other Taoist classics as support. The discussion of these four people opened Yi Xifeng's eyes. Although he had practiced in the Zhenwu Dao Hall for five years, most of his energy was devoted to the study of martial arts and formations, especially the "Pure Yang Pulse Movement Technique". "The integration consumes a lot of his energy and time.
So to put it in detail, Yi Xifeng is not suitable for the first stage of the "Ascension Conference". This kind of debate about Taoist theory is his weakness. In comparison, he prefers to open up his posture and fight with real swords and guns!
The discussion on the issue of ascending to the Dao has been basically very comprehensive after being supplemented by the four outer disciples. Especially the last little girl who stood up, she looked very quiet and delicate. She quoted from many sources, including not only several Buddhist classics, but also some Confucian classics and Buddhist classics, which made everyone break into a cold sweat!
Elder Yuanhu, who was standing in the middle, couldn't help but say "ok" after hearing the girl's answer.
So after this girl, everyone present fell into deathly silence. After all, there are only so many Taoist classics, and although the outer disciples are only outer sects, everyone who participated in the Dao Ascension Conference was carefully prepared, and the level of the four of them was Not bad at all! Especially the fourth girl who appeared, her remarks showed an extraordinary reserve of knowledge.
The purpose of the Ascension Conference is to select these extraordinary people. They don't really want to discuss this topic, but through this question, they can discover the shining points of these outer disciples. There is no doubt that this girl has enough shining points.
Just when the first round of Q&A was about to end, another person suddenly stood up. This person was wearing the same Xuanqing Taoist robe, but his complexion was fair and his appearance was more handsome and elegant. He had a shy smile, which gave people a lot of affinity. The visitor was none other than Yi Xifeng, who had been listening carefully in the audience.
The man who looked like a black tower standing to the left of the old man had a flash in his eyes. He naturally recognized that the young man in front of him was the extremely powerful soul just now.
"Boy Yi Xifeng, I have met Elder Yuanhu and Senior Ji!" Yi Xifeng naturally raised his hand.
"Oh? There are actually more. Then tell me about it!" Xun Yuanhu was a little surprised, but he just said this and said nothing.
Yi Xifeng smiled awkwardly, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "I think the explanation in the "Taoyuan Sutra" may not be correct!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar! There were even a few outer disciples who could not suppress their exclamations.
"Is this person perhaps crazy?"
"I guess I'm crazy about winning and using this method to gain attention."
"You dare to question Taoist classics. Does this kid not want to live?"
…
Yi Xifeng remained unmoved by the doubts from the people around him, and even his expression did not change at all. His eyes kept staring at Elder Yuanhu in front of him.
"Oh? Then tell me, what is ascending the path?" Xun Yuanhu raised his eyebrows and said.
"Integrate one's own way into justice. Respect the way of martial arts and become the way of heaven." Yi Xifeng said word by word.
When everyone present heard this, they all fell into deep thought. When they heard what he said, it was somewhat similar to the previous words "Sacrificing one's own way for the sake of justice. Giving up the way of martial arts for the way of heaven." However, the meaning was somewhat different, and even somewhat different. Strange, but where is the blame? People can't tell.
Suddenly, the whispering sounds of a group of outer disciples came from the Lecture Pavilion. Not long after, a clear voice broke everyone's whispers.
"Senior Brother Yi's words seem reasonable, but there are some things that don't make sense!" The owner of this voice was the girl who just spoke. The scene where she quoted from others left a deep impression on Yi Xifeng. Impression, naturally recognized her at a glance.
"What doesn't make sense? Please enlighten me!" Yi Xifeng looked at the girl who suddenly stood up and looked into her clear eyes, knowing that the other person was not targeting her, but had seriously thought about the question she raised. Comes with questions.
"You replaced the word 'She' with 'Rong' and 'Zun', but you must know that everyone follows different martial arts, so martial arts is the way of humanity! There is permanence in the way of heaven, and impermanence in humanity. If you take impermanence and combine it with permanence, , respect the impermanent and replace the permanent. In this way..."
Having said this, he paused and then asked: "If this happens, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
Yi Xifeng nodded slightly, roughly understanding what the other party meant, and continued: "Humanity is impermanent, so impermanence can be blended with permanence, because martial arts represents infinite possibilities, not infinite mistakes. Humanity is impermanent, but people have permanence! If you don't even think down of your own martial arts, how can you try to defeat heaven for heaven?"
