If the disciples appeared one after another, then the times would be different again.
Just do it!
So, Jiang Hua took out a knife of high-quality white paper that had just been produced, and a pencil that had just been invented not long ago, took a sip of tea and started working directly!
However, before writing, Jiang Hua first took out the Book of Heaven, and wisps of the power of destiny spread out. It is best to keep this thing a little secret before it is finally born. It is not too late to take it out all at once after it is completely written.
Otherwise, Jiang Hua was not sure whether the top powerful people in the aristocratic group would react to the four characters he wrote here: "A Hundred Schools of Thought Contention."
After all, Taoists and nobles can also predict the future.
King Wen pioneered the existence of Houtian Bagua, and many nobles practiced the Yi Jing. Especially the nobles with the surname Ji are all good at fortune-telling.
After the power of fate spread and the heavenly secrets were completely chaotic, Jiang Hua slowly picked up a pencil and solemnly wrote four big words on the white paper: A hundred schools of thought contend!
As soon as these four words were written, a future that was very different from the past was born!
If there is such a thing as the river of destiny, then there is a high probability that the river of destiny will boil directly at this moment!
Unfortunately not!
However, although there was no fate, Li Sheng, who was based in Luoyang, felt it immediately.
Just now, he felt that the fate of the Qi Master group had taken a completely different direction, but after careful calculation, nothing could be calculated. The secret seemed to have been blocked.
What if we increase the intensity of the deduction?
The moment Li Sheng continued to deduce, the power of destiny on the Book of Heaven began to be consumed like running water. Jiang Hua frowned when he saw it. Wasn't the consumption of sealing the secret of heaven a one-time thing?
After a few breaths, Li Sheng stopped the deduction, and a Tai Chi diagram appeared on his body. The yin and yang fish continued to move, and the entire Tai Chi diagram directly turned into the two qi of yin and yang, blocking all heavenly secrets.
When the power of fate stopped flowing, Jiang Hua couldn't help but wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
With Jiang Hua's current level of cultivation, he would no longer sweat, but as an ordinary person for so many years, he still touched his forehead subconsciously.
It was really thrilling. Fortunately, I blocked the secret in advance, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua became more determined. The more this is the case, the more it shows that contention of a hundred schools of thought is the future!
After turning over the page, Jiang Hua took a pencil and continued to write: "A world of great harmony is almost everyone's dream."
"Different people have different perceptions of the world of great harmony. Confucius respected Zhou rites, so his ideal world of great harmony is a layered world of princes, ministers, officials, scholars, countrymen, common people, and barbarians. A clear world relies on morality to restrain the upper class. Whether such a world of great harmony can be realized depends entirely on whether the upper classes can restrain themselves like gentlemen. I can't comment on more."
Everyone knows the above. It is okay for Jiang Hua to write it down and publish it publicly. But if he continues to write it down, he may be beaten along the Internet line, no, along the journal.
In previous history, the Confucian scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were extremely capable and proficient in the art of killing people. To be precise, the Confucian scholars of the Tang Dynasty and before were very capable of using their hands. They could mount a horse and kill people, and dismount and use a writing brush to govern a party. Almost standard.
Jiang Hua didn't want to compete with these Confucian scholars or discuss Taoism. It was boring.
Once you win one, there will be a series of them.
If you lose the fight, the consequences will be more serious.
Therefore, I won’t write the rest of it. However, even if Jiang Hua doesn't write it, someone else will definitely write it in the future. You don't have to worry about the book not selling well. As long as there are big trolls like Meng Ke, you don't have to worry about whether anyone will read this issue.
"The ancestors of Mo Sheng were nobles, but in Mo Sheng's generation, they have become common people. They have nothing left except a surname. Mo Sheng's background is almost at the lowest level."
"But Mo Sheng has a strong character and decisive actions. He has gone through ups and downs and never forgets his original intention..."
After all, he was his master in name and had given him so many benefits, so when he wrote about Mo Sheng, Jiang Hua couldn't help but write a few more sentences. However, these are all the truth.
"In the heart of Saint Mo, there is also a world of great harmony, a world of equal personality!"
"In the heart of Saint Mo, the world of great harmony should be full of universal love and non-aggression. People should love each other universally..."
As he wrote, Jiang Hua couldn't help but sigh.
Are Mo Sheng's ideals noble?
noble!
At least it is much nobler than the world of great unity in Kong Sheng’s dream!
But, can it be achieved?
If Confucius's world of great harmony is Confucius' own dream, then Mo Sheng's world of great harmony is more like an adult's fairy tale, existing only in the fairy tale world.
There are so many people in the world today, but perhaps only Mo Sheng himself truly practices the concepts of universal love. Even among his many disciples, not many of them fully agree with Mo Sheng's ideas.
When Mo Sheng died, it was the time when the Mohist family split and deteriorated.
Many times, Jiang Hua would feel sorry for the fact that the Mohist family was completely cut off from inheritance and completely extinct in the previous life. But sometimes I feel admiration. Those last Mohists would rather the inheritance of Mohism be cut off than let Mohism become like Confucianism. They also don't want to let a group of people shout universal love on their lips but not have any universal love in their hearts. There are no villains to usurp the Mohist orthodoxy.
Why!
After sighing, Jiang Hua continued to write: "In Li Sheng's heart, there is also a world of great harmony."
"In a small country with few people, it has a few weapons but doesn't use them; it makes the people die again and never move far; even though they have boats and carriages, they have nothing to ride on them; even though they have armor and soldiers, they have nothing to show them; they make people knot ropes and use them again. . Enjoy their food, dress them beautifully, live in peace, and enjoy their customs. Leading countries look at each other, hear each other's cries of cocks and dogs, and the people will not interact with each other until they grow old and die..."
As for evaluation, Jiang Hua refused to comment!
The Tao Te Ching has been interpreted throughout the ages, and almost every version has its own opinion. Jiang Hua does not feel qualified to comment.
However, again, if Jiang Hua himself doesn’t judge, sooner or later someone will!
Trolls will appear sooner or later. Even if you don’t dare to troll in person, you can still use a pen name to troll!
No matter what your status is, keyboard warriors are fearless: key!
"Everyone has his or her own world of great harmony. This journal mainly explores three questions: What is a world of great harmony, how to achieve a world of great harmony, and how to maintain a world of great harmony after achieving it?"
"No matter how high or low your cultivation level is, no matter how high your status is, you can speak in this journal, and you can speak freely, as long as it revolves around the world of great harmony. If readers feel that their opinions are too strong, I suggest you give yourself a pen name. , published under a pseudonym, and letters from some readers will be selected and published in each issue.”
"Li Sheng once said: The truth becomes clearer with more debate."
"The purpose of this journal is to take the opinions of a hundred schools of thought and enlighten everyone through discussions, debates, and arguments. Therefore, this journal is called a hundred schools of thought contend!"
"Before the first issue begins, Xiao Zihua is willing to give you a preface, and is also willing to express some trivial opinions to inspire others."
Jiang Hua decided to write this first article, or preface, by himself.
"What is a world of great harmony? Let me tell you my own opinion first."
"A world of great harmony will inevitably bring about all-round changes in thought, politics, and life."
"The boy is still young and has little knowledge. He has not traveled to other countries. Since his birth, he has mostly lived in Yancheng. Therefore, I will not explain too much about many aspects of ideology, politics, etc. I am ignorant and have no knowledge. It needs to be studied, observed and understood.”
"This article only describes the world of great harmony in my mind from the perspective of the common people at the bottom!"
This is about setting standards!
If this article is recognized by most Qi practitioners, then many years later, this will be the standard in the world of great harmony!
"A world of great unity cannot be achieved overnight. A world of great unity is the goal on the top of the mountain. If you want to climb the mountain, it is best to go one step at a time and go up in a down-to-earth manner."
"So, in the boy's eyes, the world of great harmony is also divided into many stages. The boy calls the ideal world of great harmony the final stage."
"The first stage of the world of great harmony: ordinary people with hands and feet can work hard without starving to death."
"Such a world of great harmony is too vulgar and low-level in the eyes of many people, but Senior Xunqing once said: If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't build a river. This sentence The kid totally agrees.”
“If we can’t even reach the first stage of a world of great harmony, how can we achieve the great and legendary world of great harmony?”
As he wrote, Jiang Hua felt his thoughts welling up, but suddenly Feng Yi came to the study with a letter of greeting. Jiang Hua calmly cleaned up the desk and put away the half-written preface. .
"My lord, this is a letter of greeting. The owner is from Luoyang Academy. He is a Taoist priest named Taiping Taoist."
"This Taiping Taoist was a traveling doctor in his early years, and he often treated savages free of charge. Later, when he got older, he entered Taoism by chance. In just over ten years, he became a Taoist priest and even obtained a gift. With the approval of the Lingbao, this Lingbao is called the Heavenly Book, and now his cultivation has reached the limit of a Taoist priest, and he is also one of the Taoists of the younger generation who has the greatest hope of becoming a Xiantian."
"At this moment, Changkong Jijiu is discussing with him. Does the Lord have some free time?"
Jiang Hua looked at the empty teacup, took the teapot, poured himself a cup, and started drinking tea: "Of course!"
With that said, Jiang Hua strode out.
"Even if we don't consider Taiping Taoist's strength, mentorship, and future, just because he is the first Taoist priest to come, I still want to receive him."
"If he hadn't already entered the mansion, Gu would have even wanted to open the middle door wide to show Gu's attitude."
After a while, Jiang Hua saw the Taiping Taoist wearing yellow clothes holding a nine-section staff.
Taiping Taoist looks like a middle-aged and elderly man with a vicissitudes of life. He wears a lotus crown on his head and straw sandals on his feet. His exposed arms are dark and strong, and he has a long beard on his chin. He does not look like a fairy. Feng Daogu looks like an old farmer walking in the fields.
"Taoist Taiping has met fellow Taoist."
"I met fellow Taoists at the Yancheng Academy Grand Ceremony."
The two of them cupped their hands with each other and came to a table in the center. They both sat on the futon, facing each other.
Taoist Changkong sat in the middle, serving tea and water to the two of them.
As for Feng Yi, he stood behind Jiang Hua and was mainly responsible for standing.
"Fellow Taoist, to be honest, Jiao came here to ask for an order for help. May I ask if what was said in the order for help is true?"
Jiao is the name of Taiping Taoist, and by the way, he is from the Zhang family. He also has two younger brothers, one named Zhang Liang and the other named Zhang Bao.
"of course it's true!"
As he spoke, Jiang Hua waved his hand, and a map appeared.
On this map, Guyang County and Yang County are no longer there, replaced by thirty-three counties, which are divided into ten counties.
Looking at the ten counties on the map, Taiping Taoist nodded seriously.
He is not afraid of coming to Yancheng to take the blame!
He is not afraid of helping Yancheng resist the possible invasion of Chao Kingdom!
"Fellow Taoist is the first one to come here. Next, as long as you prove your strength, you can choose a county as the place to realize your ideal."
"Of course, asking Taoist friends to prove their strength is not because they look down on Taoist friends, nor does it distrust Taoist friends, but because these ten counties are very close to Chaohe River, and some are even directly adjacent to Chaohe River. Now within Chaoguo My Taoist friends are also aware of the situation."
"You can let fellow Taoists choose a place as a fiefdom at will, but fellow daoists must prove with their strength that they can indeed protect the people within the territory."
"Otherwise, if I put the people in the territory of fellow Taoists, wouldn't this be harming them?"
"Let's get it right in one step. How can I prove my strength?"
"Uncle Master."
Taoist Changkong nodded and took out a list: "There are dozens of tasks here."
"Some tasks are to go to a certain sea area to capture or kill a demon king. The requirements for this task are..."
This sea area is located two thousand miles east of Dongning Island and 10,000 meters deep. There is a demon king who is proficient in water magic. It is not difficult to kill him. What is difficult is to kill him without causing huge fluctuations in ocean currents.
"Some tasks are to go to a certain jungle and kill a demon king. This demon king is a tiger demon. He has many demons under his command, and he also has innate magical powers..."
While talking, Taoist Changkong talked about the last mission: "This mission is relatively difficult. We need to go near the Wang family of the Qing clan and save many fellow Taoists who are besieged by the Wang family."
"Previously, Chao Kingdom issued an order to exterminate the Taoism. Many Taoisms were exterminated because of this. Many Taoist friends were brutally killed by the nobles. Now, there are still a few Taoist friends near the Wang family of the Qing clan who are using the terrain to resist. The Wang clan of the Qing clan Already planning to take action.”
"The minimum requirement for this mission is to deter the Wang family from continuing to harm Taoists so unscrupulously, so as to keep those Taoists alive. As long as they are alive, there is still hope."
"That's it!" Taiping Taoist said calmly.
"This is just right. I heard that the Wang family is one of the four major noble clans in the Chao Kingdom. It has shocked the Wang family and can also show your strength well, so that no cat or dog will dare to provoke me in the future."
With that said, Taiping Taoist raised his hands to Jiang Hua, stood up, and strode out...
