When Ye Feng and Xi Ruo returned to Yangming Academy, it was almost noon and everyone was almost back. At this time, everyone has packed up and bought almost everything.
From what everyone saw and heard during their shopping trip, Ye Feng learned a few pieces of news.
The first news is that early this morning, Song Yanci teleported back to Lingxiao Continent through the exclusive magic circle of Lingxiao Palace.
The second news was announced by Lingxiao Palace: Song Qingshu was seriously injured due to his going crazy in practice last night. Song Yanci had transferred him to Lingxiao Continent for seclusion. All his family members were brought to Lingxiao Continent to accompany him. Because of his serious injury, he was unable to continue to perform his duties as the deputy palace master of Lingxiao Palace, so the position of deputy palace master was temporarily taken over by Ying Ruyu, the genius of the Ying clan.
There are also some other news, but they are far less explosive than the two above, so they will not be described here.
As for Song Qingshu's injury, gossip among the neighbors tended to suggest that Song Qingshu and his family members were all beheaded. Some say it was done by the Nether Palace, others say it was done by the sect of a woman whom Song Qingshu had insulted, and it was a romantic debt, and some say it was Ying Ruyu who coveted the position of deputy palace master and seduced Song Qingshu to death, etc. Anyway, there are all kinds, vegetarian and meat. But one thing is surprisingly unanimous: the person who killed Song Qingshu must be a ruthless character. You must know that the man killed his son under Song Yanci's eyes, but the other man didn't even fart and ran back to Lingxiao Continent in despair early in the morning. So in fact, the only possibility left is that the other six sect masters killed the three killing stars of the Luanxing Sect and Ye Yi, and there is no other possibility.
Linglong and Jiang Yu, who knew the truth, couldn't help but admire them after hearing these gossips. They didn't expect that these poor people seemed ordinary, but they almost guessed the truth.
"The collective wisdom of the people is actually smarter and wiser than anyone else, including me."
This sentence was exactly what Ye Feng said to Linglong, Yun Xi, and Jiang Yu, and today they finally understood what Ye Feng really meant when he said this sentence.
. . .
Ye Yudao: I hate what a professor from a top 985 university said, saying that poor people are not qualified to discuss national affairs. But what I want to say is that the poor are more qualified to speak about national affairs than the rich.
Because the poor may not necessarily be the direct beneficiaries of national events, but they must be the direct stakeholders. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the country was suffering, the society was in deep economic crisis, and the people at the bottom were in dire straits. But those rich people fled abroad one by one to live happily. There is an outbreak of a large-scale infectious disease, and it is the rich who flee abroad. The poor people at the bottom of the country are living in dire straits, but the rich are vacationing abroad and enjoying a comfortable life.
For the poor, they cannot run away, and the one-third of an acre of land under their feet is everything to them. When foreign enemies invade and diseases break out, their only choice is to take up arms and fight for their lives. They have no other choice.
Therefore, they are the most qualified people to care about national affairs.
And Ye Feng believes in the wisdom of the people. Even if the people may be ignorant now, as long as they are human beings, they cannot remain ignorant. There is such a person, a person that Ye Feng truly admires from the bottom of his heart. Many people said that he was wrong, that he overestimated the wisdom of the people, and that he himself was ruined and ridiculed. His successors also took pride in damaging his reputation. While placing him on the altar, they distorted his image and deconstructed his thoughts. But he said that history develops in a spiral, the future is bright, and the road is tortuous. He has long been prepared to be beaten to pieces, and all this is to allow the people to get education and learn from experience. Sooner or later, the people will wake up and become smarter and wiser, so we must believe in the wisdom of the people. .
And that person was the first person in Chinese history to shout "Long live the people"!
Teacher, eternal!

The difference between Ye Feng's heresy and Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind is, to give a simple example, Tai Chi thinking is composed of three parts: black, white and chaos. Paganism and spiritual philosophy both lead people towards goodness and beauty, and both lead people towards the "white Tai Chi fish".
Wang Yangming's Xinxue tells you how to go directly to Bai. Therefore, Yangming's theory of mind is essentially based on the theory of human nature as the starting point of thinking, even if he proposed a body that is neither good nor disgusting.
However, Ye Feng's Different Way only tells you how to avoid blackness, so Ye Feng's Different Way essentially takes the theory of evil nature as the starting point for thinking, and Ye Feng puts forward the conclusion that there are good and disgusting bodies.
The two are diametrically opposed to each other. But the purpose is all towards Bai.
Yangming's theory of mind ignores the chaos other than black and white, and only focuses on white. However, Ye Feng's non-blackness includes both chaos and white, so the scope of the heretical discussion is greater than that of Yangming's theory of mind. In this world, there are pure white and pure black people, but they are very few, and most of them are still chaotic. This determines that heterodox teachings are closer to reality than Xinxue.
In short, the philosophy of mind is idealism, while the philosophy of alienation is materialism. This one seems to have the upper hand, but as just said, the vast majority of people are chaotic. The human heart is inherently evil, so chaos is easier to return to black than white. Therefore, Ye Feng's heresy is very dangerous, so Ye Feng is unwilling to pass it on to Linglong and Yunxi. But then again, is this world and society safe?
Therefore, as far as philosophical theory is concerned, heterodox Buddhism is one step closer to the study of the mind, and indeed transcends the study of the mind. But as Ye Feng said, there is no perfect theory in the world, and heterodox teachings need to go further.

The reason why Song Yanci ran to Lingxiao Continent after being injured was because Lingxiao Continent was Song Yanci’s territory, and there was a continent-protecting array there. Once the other half-step True Ancestors set foot on it, they would be threatened because the array only allowed Spiritual power exists but cultivation is suppressed and weakened. In fact, this is not just the case in Lingxiao Continent, but also in several other continents. For example, only Buddhist power is allowed to exist in Xiniu Hezhou, Confucian Qufuzhou only allows Confucian power, Fuyao Continent only allows demon power, Tianbao Continent only allows divine power, Posu Continent only allows yin power, and only Taoist spiritual practices are allowed to exist. force. If Zhang Ziling goes to Lingxiao Palace, he will only be slightly suppressed. Therefore, although the relationship between Zhang Ziling and Song Yanci is not good, it is not too bad either. Moreover, Zhang Ziling owed Song Yanci a favor, so even if everyone would take action against Song Yanci, Zhang Ziling would not. At the very least, Zhang Ziling will not join forces with others to attack Song Yanci, nor will he make trouble for Song Yanci.
That's why everyone said that in the future, if the masters of the seven major sects want to fight against each other, the battlefield will definitely be in the Middle-earth Divine Continent where no one is restricted. This incident made Xia Wuyan itchy with hatred, but he also Nothing can be done.
