Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 258
After Qin Lisheng came to power, he began to preach the meaning of Mohism.

There are almost no people who really listen carefully.

It's not that the audience looks down on the Mohist school, it's simply because the Mohisthism has existed for a long time, and the ten principles of the Mohist school have not changed a single bit until now, so who needs to repeat it over and over again?

Even if the giant of the Mohist narrates it himself, he can't tell new flowers, and everyone's ears will hear cocoons.

Some people even say that Qin Lisheng is simply the most relaxed Mohist giant. He doesn't need to lead the Mohists to find someone to fight for his life, and he doesn't need to make any changes to the Mohist principles. A different dog can do it.

This kind of jealousy is not without an audience.

But, this is just an appetizer.

Sit back and say, there is no need to be so angry on the first day, especially when Emperor Xia came to visit, if anyone is forced to be impatient, it will not be good to spread the word.

For the first time, everyone will talk about the ideas in their hearts, the ways in which their ideas can develop in reality, and their future expectations.

In short, it is to go up and draw a big pie, to see who can draw more realistic and delicious pancakes, and who can conquer the audience present.

Only after clearly expressing one's own ideas can it be convenient for others to understand and criticize. Now is the stage of "preaching".

The real debate is not today.

After Qin Lisheng brought out the ten righteousness of the Mohist school again, he stepped off the stage and came to the audience seat, sitting beside Wang Mang.

No one picked on him when he was on the stage, it was all for Emperor Xia's sake, anyway, this discussion will last until next year's spring ploughing, it will take several months, everything can be understood, there is no rush.

"The disciples of Mozi, master of martial arts, Xun Ke are invited to explain the ideas in your heart. If you have any objections, you can raise your hand."

Another summons.

After Qin Li won, Xun Ke was next to him.

And Xun Ke doesn't have any stage fright. He is more than 40 years old and looks full of calmness. He is far from the little boy who was helpless in the face of everything. He has strong self-confidence and sharp eyes.

"I say that human nature is inherently evil, and then I say etiquette."

After coming to power, Xun Ke didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly threw out his core ideas.

Moreover, the theory of sexual evil comes first, and the rest follow.

It shows that everything is a judgment formed by it.

Xun Ke said: "The stars are spinning, the sun and the moon are passing each other, the four ages are governed, the yin and yang are great, the wind and rain are generous, and all things have their own harmony to live, and each has its own nourishment to grow. If you don't see the things, you can see their merits. The one who is what is called God; everyone knows why it is made, but no one knows that it is invisible, what is what is called heaven.”

Those who don't have a little bit of ability can't understand what this passage means.

Heaven is natural, without reason, will, good and evil likes and dislikes.Heaven is the natural Heaven, not the Personality of Godhead.He called the imperceptible functions such as yin, yang, wind and rain as gods, and called the natural world composed of these functions heaven.The formation of the universe is not created by God, but the result of the movement of all things themselves.

Xun Ke said again: "Heaven has permanence, it does not exist for people, it does not perish for people. If it should be ruled, it will be good, and if it should be disordered, it will be evil. Therefore, the sky can live, but cannot distinguish things, and the earth can carry people, but cannot rule people." .The sky has its time, the earth has its talents, and the people have their governance.”

The way of heaven will not change because of people's emotions or will. It is completely indifferent to people's distinction between good and evil, and has no relationship with each other. Good or bad depends on individual efforts.

Here, there has already been a great conflict with the Ming ghosts of the Mohist school.

And this is not the end, Xun Ke continued: "Humans are born with good interests, sickness and evil, desires for ears and eyes, and lust. According to human nature and sympathy, we must Out of contention, it is in line with the law of chaos and chaos."

People's natural pursuit of material conflicts with morality itself. Xun Ke believes that the natural endowment of temperament itself is evil.Therefore, conforming to its own development will lead to competition among people, killing thieves, and causing social chaos. This is the theory of evil nature.

"People's nature is evil, and those who are good are hypocritical. Zong Mingzhi and Mozi have the same nature, and gentlemen and villains have the same nature. Their etiquette and righteousness, the system of laws, and the ignorance of people can be benevolent."

Human nature is the same, Emperor Zong Ming and Mo Qiu are both human, why is there such a big difference?That is the hard work of the person himself, and the acquired environment and experience have played a decisive role in the transformation of himself.

The theory of evil nature does not mean that everyone should be a wicked person, but because they are born with evil nature, they need etiquette education to improve this point. In the end, everyone can be benevolent.

"I said that the king should respect the virtuous and the virtuous, respect the law and love the people and dominate. The classics of governance, rites and punishments, the gentleman cultivates the peace of the people. The rites determine the morality, and the law can determine the division. Therefore, the rites and the body are practiced, and the righteousness is as good as the country. And Zheng Ming, who can be coerced by etiquette and be honored and famous, the world wishes, will prohibit it, and the king's work is over."

Xun Ke believes that the way to govern the country must be to implement both propriety and law, and to unify the king and hegemony, and propriety and righteousness are the spirit of legislation. If people love propriety and righteousness, their behavior will be naturally legal, and even without punishment, the people will naturally do good. How can the country be incurable?
In this regard, why did he put forward the "evil nature theory" and what is the basis for his theory of evil nature? He even gave an example with Emperor Zongming and Mo Qiu in the middle, and finally gave his own solution.

It can be said that it perfectly demonstrated its own concept.

Although many people showed displeasure on their faces, they couldn't say that he was talking nonsense. Even if he wanted to refute, he had to have reasons.

At least in Xun Ke's own concepts, everything is self-consistent and logical, and quite mature and perfect.

He has found a solution to the problem that Gu Dan left for him back then, and he has also proposed his own solution for people all over the world to comment on.

After speaking, Xun Ke also walked down and returned to the seats of the audience.

"Next, please invite Yang Zhu, a martial arts master who has traveled to various countries, to explain the ideas in your heart. If you have any objections, you can raise your hand."

After another summons, Yang Zhu took the stage.

He is wearing a Taoist robe, and he looks quite old, but he is in good spirits, and his face is quite kind, without showing sharpness. He is not in a hurry to talk about his own ideas, but first makes a brief comment on Xun Ke's words in advance some.

"I agree with Xun Ke's theory that nature is evil. Man's nature is evil, and the law of heaven!"

In this way, Yang Zhu said: "People of ancient times, if they lose a penny to benefit the world, they will not give it back; if they know the world and serve themselves, they will not take it. Everyone does not lose a penny, everyone benefits the world, and the world is governed. Those who are good at governing outsiders , things don’t necessarily rule; those who govern the inside well, things don’t have to be chaotic. If you rule the outside, the law can temporarily apply to a country, but it doesn’t suit the hearts of the people; if you rule the inside, you can spread it to the world.”

Everyone respects and cares for himself, and everyone respects and loves himself, so everyone is safe in his own place. Is the world governed?
"In terms of life and death, everyone is like this. In life, there are differences between virtuous and foolish, poor and humble, and death is all rotten bones. Emperor Zongming is no different from Mozi. There are times when life is born, and self is the first. Life is difficult to meet, but death is easy. And, to find joy in life, and to return to dust in death, it is most precious to keep me.

Indulge yourself for a while, don't lose the joy of the past; let your heart move, don't go against what nature likes; let your heart swim, don't go against the liking of all things; don't cherish the reputation of a moment, don't want the glory after death; don't envy life, don't Being envious of fame, position, and goods means not being afraid of ghosts, people, prestige, and profit.

Following the nature of nature, things are good for health and should be enjoyed, irreversible life is envied for life, gathering things is tiring, rich houses and beautiful clothes, delicious food and beautiful colors, people's desires are satisfied.This is the way to preserve the integrity of the whole nature, and the art of ignoring things and valuing oneself! "

Yang Zhu talked eloquently, directly borrowing some of Xun Ke's views.

When he said that he valued himself, he did not mean harming others or benefiting himself, but that he neither harmed others nor benefited others. As long as everyone was like this, then there would be no Zong Ming Emperor, nor Mo Qiu, so where would the struggle come from? ?

Compared with Xun Ke's whole set of combination boxing, Yang Zhu only started from human nature and clarified his own concepts.

While he was speaking, many people in the audience covered their ears, showing their contempt.

Some people have already started cursing in a low voice.

However, Yang Zhu didn't care at all, and walked off the stage with a smile, quite graceful.

As soon as he stepped down, the official who presided over the discussion immediately ran up and said: "I invite Zou Dan to explain the ideas in my heart. If you have any objections, you can raise your hand."

Zou Dan came to the stage, ruled out Qin Lisheng who was the first and was bound to be the first, and he was the third to come on stage.

This is enough to show that his ideas have been recognized by some people.

"I agree with Brother Xun's views on heaven and earth, but it needs to be more specific."

When he came to the stage, Zou Dan imitated Yang Zhu and supported Xun Ke first.

The difference is that Yang Zhu agrees with the theory of evil nature, while Zou Dan agrees with Xun Ke's understanding of heaven and earth.

"The upper and lower sides of the four directions are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe."

A long time ago, the ancestors already knew about the place they lived in, and they also gave an explanation for the larger, untouched place. Together, they are the two words of universe and universe.

The universe is space, and the universe is time.

Zou Dan is Qing Pingzi's apprentice. He was born as an alchemist. He deeply understands how important it is to attract people's attention with just one mouth. He was the first to throw out the concept of the universe itself.

"In the universe, all things are divided into yin and yang. They are regarded as good and evil, as advantages and disadvantages, as gains and losses, as good and bad. They all exist in it, and they are self-acting. There is no way out of it, and nothing out of it. Yin and yang are famous. invisible."

Zou Dan said: "Yin and Yang evolve, and the five elements are born together. The five elements: one is water, the other is fire, the third is wood, the fourth is metal, and the fifth is earth. These five elements reveal everything in the world and are inseparable."

He divides everything into three levels.

The first is the universe, including everything in all directions, from ancient to modern times.

In the universe, yin and yang coordinate everything, and the unity of opposites and opposites of all things come from these two, that is, all things bear yin and embrace yang, and yin and yang interact, which is the universe.

The universe is a concept, and yin and yang are the expressions of the concept itself.

Yin and Yang evolved into more specific five elements, and finally became the real world that people can really see and feel in their eyes.

It's just that his words are too grand, although many audience members in the audience are sure that they have not missed a word, they just blinked their eyes, but they can't understand it.

Under the stage, Gu Dan looked at Qing Pingzi beside him. In the 25th year of the Xia Dynasty, Qing Pingzi came back again, "You taught him this?"

"That's not it."

Qing Pingzi shrugged slightly, and said with an innocent face: "I haven't been back for so many years. Don't blame the apprentice's affairs on the master. This is what he thought about. At best, I gave him a little bit of insignificance." inspired."

"It sounds like that's the case."

Gu Dan listened for a while and commented.

"That's not true. Just take the knowledge of immortality and apply it to the world. It's better than ordinary people, and it's more correct."

Qing Pingzi said confidently.

In fact, the yin-yang and five elements mentioned by Zou Dan are not so novel.

A hurdle that the master needs to face is called the five-element sympathy. How could it be possible that there is no understanding of this aspect?
It's just that Zou Dan connected these things together and summed them up into one.

The knowledge that exists in the higher level, the immortal way, and the phenomena in the mortal world are related and self-consistent.

"Speaking of which, it's been so long, why hasn't the immortal come back?"

The two chatted as if there was no one else around, but in fact, it was sound transmission, only each other could hear, and they were not worried about being noticed by outsiders.

"Maybe, what happened to the immortal?"

Mentioning this, Qing Pingzi seemed a little sullen, which was also one of the main reasons why he came back this time, to beg Gu Dan to help him.

His age is already very big!

When Gu Dan first came to this world, he was the celebrity beside Emperor Zong Ming for ten years.

From the 22nd year of Zong Ming to the 25th year of Xia Dynasty, another 46 years have passed!
His age is approaching a hundred years old now.

Judging from the 20-year-old life limit of the master, Qing Pingzi can only live for another [-] years at most, and this is calculated based on his ability to live to the limit.

Even if the immortal returns, it will take time to practice. It is impossible to expect to break through the realm to prolong life when he is about to die, right?
Calculated in this way, it will take more than ten years to cut, which is still a conservative estimate.

In other words, if the immortal does not come back within ten years, Qing Pingzi will die of old age.

This time when he returned to Xia Dynasty, he begged Gu Dan to give him some green wood liquid, so as to ensure that he would not fail to live to the limit.

Time will not spare anyone. It allows the powerless child to stand on the stage today and talk about the ideas in his heart, but it also makes the guy under one person face the embarrassment of the end of life in the heyday.

If there is no turning point, there is only one dead word.

Since ancient times, who has never died?
It's fine if there is no hope, but it is clear that the stars have already fallen from the sky at night, and there is news, if this cannot wait, Qing Pingzi will not be reconciled.

The scariest thing is not having no hope, but seeing hope but not being able to grasp it.

"misfortune."

After chanting these two words, Gu Dan looked at the stage.

One after another, heroes and virtuous talents that he had never even heard of before came up and talked about the ideas in his heart.

Times have changed and things have changed a lot.

The great master is only a part of the world, and cannot see the endless changes.

Where does this misfortune exist?
Gu Dan, also in the mighty power of time, accumulated strength, waiting for the time to witness the accident with his own eyes.
