Be adaptable!
This is a word that is easily misunderstood.
Many people easily equate it with "soldiers coming to block water and soil to cover it up".
appear negative.
But in fact, it can also be very positive.
Face different people, make different decisions, speak in different ways and techniques, and take initiative randomly.
Just like when facing ordinary people, Feng Linhui chose the simplest and crudest way to induce them, using language that was as stimulating as possible, with thin skin and big stuff.
Why?
Because there are so many people in the audience, everyone’s thoughts are very mixed, things are complicated, some people don’t understand, and some people think wrongly, and in the end it is difficult to achieve some kind of unity that they need.
Instead of letting others guess, it is better to make it clear from the beginning.
Just like those propaganda organizations, why are they always able to deceive people and win over a large group of ignorant people? Because this is what they play, using extremely strong profit stimulation to suppress personal thoughts directly, simply and quickly.
At this moment, Feng Linwen was facing Zhong Liquan.
Because he became Taoist during the Han Dynasty, he was also called Han Zhongli.
The Eight Immortals' selection of people is not simply about selecting disciples.
They are even more choosing their comrades.
Most of the Eight Immortals have a master-disciple relationship with each other. But in the end, they all became fellow Taoists, and they can also be called the most outstanding and famous 'Taoist companions' among the ancient immortals and Buddhas.
The word "Taoist couple" refers not only to the simple relationship between husband and wife among practitioners, but also to some partners who practice the same Taoism.
Therefore, if Feng Linmin is too humble and humble when facing Zhong Liquan, then he will lose his grace and be looked down upon.
Since they are fellow disciples, even if they have not yet decided on their names, they should still have the appearance of communicating as fellow disciples.
Instead of one party completely suppressing the original intention and relying on and following the other party's thoughts and ideas.
Facing Feng Linwen's rebuttal, Zhong Liquan shook his banana fan and smiled silently.
There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching: A small country with few people will make the people have few weapons but not use them, and make the people die again and not move far away. Although there are boats and carriages, there is no way to ride them. Although there are armored soldiers, there is nothing to display. Let the people re-knot the rope and use it. Enjoy your food, enjoy your clothes, live comfortably, and be happy with your customs. Neighboring countries look at each other, hear the sound of cocks and dogs, and the people do not interact with each other until old age and death.
In short, it is better to be still than to move. It is best for the people to be content with the status quo. Ignorance and inaction are the best.
The Tao Te Ching was written by a saint and has always been put on the altar, as if it is truly the ultimate supreme truth that cannot be argued with.
Zhong Liquan is a typical Taoist immortal, and of course he follows this principle.
But Feng Linwen didn't take it seriously.
The tenth level is considered a saint, but in the Galaxy Era, it has long been proven that the tenth level is far from the peak.
This is enough to show that saints are not perfect.
Because all cultivation, growth, and evolution itself are the process of perfect transition of life towards the body and soul.
Why are the classics compiled by imperfect saints so perfect?
It's just an excessive myth by descendants and followers.
Aristotle once wrote a little poem, which summarizes two sentences, which are known to everyone as "I love my teacher, but I love the truth even more".
To put it broadly here, Feng Linfan respected those forerunners, and he was not the one to criticize the words of the saints of the past.
However, this does not mean that he must be bound within the framework of the past, restrained, unable to be free, and unable to have his own ideas and concepts.
Of course, constraints are everywhere, and they are a force of habit and convention.
Just like in front of him, although Zhong Liquan did not refute verbally, every move he made showed that he did not agree with Feng Linyi's views.
Just like if Feng Linyi wrote a novel and listed the cultivation realms from low to high as Nascent Soul, Pill Formation, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Training, then many people would definitely get a lot of hate.
Most of the old people don't care about the possibilities. They just want to maintain the existing things.
Because that is the cornerstone that forms their basic worldview and is not allowed to be damaged. This is an instinctive protection of the self.
"That's it! You can barely pass my test!" Zhong Liquan said with a smile. He seemed to have many reasons to refute Feng Linyi, but in the end he didn't say them all.
If one day, Feng Linyi could sit down and discuss things with him, then he would naturally have a lot of time to discuss who was right and wrong.
If there hadn't been that day, then it would be worthless to argue with Feng Linyi here today.
Historically, only those at the top have the right to speak. Those at the bottom, no matter how many ideas they have, can only take them to the grave.
Hearing Zhong Liquan's words, Feng Linwen suddenly came to his senses. Before Zhong Liquan left, he hurriedly asked: "But there is still a test? It won't be the Eight Immortals taking turns one by one!"
Zhong Liquan was easy to talk to, and he didn't seem to think there was any leakage. He replied directly: "Since you are Senior Brother Li's disciple, you have naturally passed his test. Now that you have passed the Pindao test, you have passed the test among the Eight Immortals. Second. Now that everyone has entered this room, you should be ranked third and catch up quickly!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and robe, and the person disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared before.
Everything around him became alive in an instant.
Only then did Feng Linye realize that at that moment... maybe time had frozen.
The conversation only took place between him and Zhong Liquan, and outsiders could not see or hear it at all.
"According to Zhong Liquan's wishes, the next six people will also use their own methods to test me. And... I passed the test of two people, but I was only ranked third. That means the person ranked in front of me The two of them have not only found a way, but have at least passed the test of the Three Eight Immortals." Thinking of this, Feng Linyi felt a little bit of pressure.
"If we calculate according to the order of the Eight Immortals' enlightenment time, the next person to test me should be Zhang Guolao among the Eight Immortals. However... I am not sure. This can only be used as a reference. Don't worry too much about it." Feng Linmo thought again.
Passing Zhong Liquan's test did not bring any more changes to Feng Linyi's life.
He still moved forward unhurriedly according to his original plan.
As time went by, the dispute between Song and Liao had been suspended. Although Xie Yundao was very talented, he failed to defeat the Liao Kingdom.
Nowadays, the Liao people have strong soldiers and horses, but the Song Dynasty has gradually weakened due to the repeated weakening of the military generals by the old Zhao family. It is Xie Yundao's extraordinary ability to fight a draw with the Liao people and finally sign an armistice agreement.
When the news came back to Bianjing, Xie Yundao's reputation among the people was even higher.
On the contrary, the atmosphere in the court was very wrong.
Some censors went crazy to find fault with Xie Yundao, and even made up accusations. Many civil servants also openly and secretly targeted Xie Yundao, intending to crucify the new general of the Song Dynasty.
The civil and military battle will be decided early in the morning.
This is a kind of reincarnation.
When it comes to rights, no one will be merciful.
Even those so-called capable ministers whose names were passed down to future generations mostly played less honorable roles at this time.
So in this atmosphere, the emperor issued an order, and Xie Yundao, who was originally supposed to go to Beijing to receive a reward, was instead escorted back to Beijing to defend himself.
