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

Chapter 260 The world is so big, what is the point?
After Zhuang Sheng left, no one criticized the Mohists.

Because it is not necessary.

Zhuang Sheng has exhausted his words, but Qin Lisheng still refuses to change. Is it possible for the Mohists to make everyone perfect?

It has been 25 years since the Xia Dynasty, yet the Mo family is still living in Zong Ming's year!
Whether it is temples or folks, they have already begun to criticize Mohism.

As the Xia Dynasty became more and more prosperous, and the people's households had more and more surplus wealth, they were more able to feel the shackles of the rules and regulations under the Mohist School, as well as their inhuman behavior.

When they were poor and white, they could applaud, but when they finally showed their face, the Mo family had conflicts with them.

Human selfish desires must exist. Forcibly suppressing their own desires, a few people may indeed be able to do it. Looking at the world, how is it possible?

Sir, times have changed!
After Qin Li won, Yang Zhu was the second person to take the stage.

Mohist and love absolute opponents.

Although everyone doesn't like the Mohists very much, they are even more indignant at Yang Zhu's theory of self-esteem.

At least Jianai can be regarded as attracting people to be kind. Don't worry about whether the requirements are high or not, even if you don't listen to it, it's okay.

But I and your own use it badly. It is teaching people to be selfish. The difficulty is not less than that of love, but the harm is much greater. No matter how much you don’t like the Mohists, you can’t make Yang Zhulai disgust yourself.

What no one expected was that Qin Lisheng, who had just stepped off the stage, came up again just after Yang Zhu came on stage.

This time, it was the Mohist giant who asked the question.

"You say that it is for me and you value yourself. No one will lose a single bit, and everyone will benefit the world, and the world will rule. Then if pulling out a hair on your body can benefit the world, what will you do?"

Qin Lisheng asked directly.

"The affairs of the people in the world cannot be solved by a single hair."

Yang Zhu said immediately.

"Would you like it if you could?"

Qin Lisheng asked again.

Yang Zhu was silent.

After a moment of silence, Yang Zhu asked, "If someone hurts your skin a little, I can give you ten thousand gold, would you like it?"

Qin Lisheng immediately nodded and said, "For that."

Yang Zhu said again: "Then if you cut off a part of your arm, you can get a country, would you like it?"

This time, it was Qin Lisheng who stopped talking.

Because he understands that if he nods again this time, the next time he will cut off his head and get the whole world.

What is the use of gaining the world when a person is dead?

This is something no one would agree to.

Yang Zhu said with a smile: "A hair is smaller than the skin. A single hair is much smaller than a muscle and skin, and a muscle and skin are much smaller than a section of the body. The accumulation of muscle and skin becomes a section of the body. A fine hair is one ten-thousandth part of the whole body, why should it be underestimated?"

To pluck a hair for the benefit of the world, don't give it up!
Qin Lisheng said, "I can't convince you with more reasons. But if you ask Mo Qiu about my words, then my words will be right."

When truth goes to two extremes together, no one can convince anyone.

Just as he could not accept Yang Zhu's theory, it is also impossible for Yang Zhu to agree with him.

If one plucks a hair and benefits the world, it is not for it; if the other rubs the top and puts one's heels, it benefits the world, so do it.

There is absolutely no intersection between the two.

But of course the debate doesn't end there.

After Yang Zhu, Xun Ke came to power.

He was also questioned by others, and the main direction of attack was the words that human nature is inherently evil.

Xun Ke's answer was: "Man's nature is evil today, and he must wait for the rule of the sage king, the transformation of propriety and righteousness, and then it will come out of rule, and it will be good."

Although human nature is evil, it does not mean that we must obey this "evil". Xun Ke advocates to limit the "evil" of human nature through education, so that the "evil" of human nature can be transformed into good, instead of becoming a pure "evil" people.

It is precisely because human beings are evil that they need etiquette education, instead of taking evil as a part of themselves for granted.

This is why he once said that he would set a ceremony for the world.

When the Xia Dynasty was in its prime, it was not the right way to follow the old ways. Everyone was using their own methods to be judged by others and to show their talents and abilities.

Gu Dan watched here with Qing Pingzi for several days, and then left.

From the beginning to the end, he never appeared on stage, just like an ordinary audience, reading the scenery in the mortal world.

Maybe a hundred years ago, someone would write a lot about this grand event, but he will not remain in it.

The medical canon is still being compiled, and hundreds of doctors have gathered in the Tai Hospital at this time, working hard for another achievement.

"Go, go and meet your fellow man."

After Xun Ke finished his narration, Gu Dan and Qing Pingzi left the place and stopped Yang Zhu who was going to rest.

"What advice do you two have?"

Yang Zhu is a Taoist, he travels among the wind and dust, he possesses the power of a master, and his foresight is not bad.

From Qing Pingzi's body, he could feel an extremely dangerous aura, with a faint smell of decay, which meant that this person's strength might have reached its peak, and his age was not too far from the limit.

As for Gu Dan, he looks very handsome, but his strength does not show any depth. Qing Pingzi followed him, but he was still a step behind, not daring to go beyond, which is enough to show that he is definitely not very human.

He didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, he thought it was a strong man who was going to preach to him, so he stopped and was quite cautious.

"I just heard that your Excellency has traveled here from another country, and I was curious, so I wanted to come over and have a chat."

Gu Dan said: "If you don't dislike it, you might as well sit in the small courtyard, where you can drink wine, make tea, and chat casually."

Yang Zhu was also Gu Dan's encounter, the first guru who ran over from a country he was not familiar with.

Today's Xia Dynasty is already very strong, the key is that this strength is no longer relying on his own force, causing the surrounding countries to bow their heads.

Even so, the influence of the Xia Dynasty still only remained in a few familiar countries in the surrounding area, and further away, there was almost no news, only business travel occasionally intersected.

This world is very big, it is within the Xia Dynasty, if you really want to visit it all, it is enough to spend an ordinary person's life.

If you can't even finish seeing your own country, how many people really have the leisure to pay attention to the outside world?

If you want to go to Daqi, starting from the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty, the caravan will take several months without stopping, and the people on the way will eat horse chews, not to mention all losses, and trade with them every time. It takes a year to prepare for the delay.

If you go from Daqi to other surrounding countries, the time spent will continue to double, and the farther you go, the less worthwhile.

Moreover, sectarianism in this era is very serious, and the national conditions of different countries are different. Today's Xia Dynasty can be regarded as inclusive and open, and the rest of the surrounding countries such as Daqi and Dayong also give Xia Dynasty face and rarely make things difficult. .

In another country, the monarch may be cruel and incompetent, and it is not impossible to kill people in a foreign country directly. The risk is too great.

Being able to trade with several surrounding countries is not easy. For countries that are farther away, there are only a few records in the books. There has always been a lack of information in this regard. Even the royal family only has a general impression. .

Finally, a grandmaster who had traveled all over the world ran over, and it would be a bit wasteful not to have a chat.

"It's impossible."

Knowing the purpose of the two people's visit, Yang Zhu also showed a smile on his face.

This kind of thing is quite common.

As a Grandmaster, as long as there is no hostility, you can get hospitality wherever you go. There are many people who want to know the outside world from him, so it can be said that they are quite familiar with it.

Gu Dan brought Yang Zhu to the small courtyard of the Gu family.

When he first entered the gate of the courtyard, Yang Zhu let out a sigh, "Here, there are some tricks!"

He looked around, not only at the blooming flowers and plants in the courtyard, but also at the layout everywhere, he couldn't find anything wrong with it!

The Gu Family Courtyard has been around for many years, and of course it has been repaired several times by Gu Dan. After all, it is the place where he lives, and he has never been stingy about it. The Gu Family Courtyard today is different from the small courtyard that was originally a Mohist martial arts school. There are already two places up.

And these years of reciting various Taoist scriptures and books, many things learned from them have been unconsciously used. Although the area has not expanded, people who know how to do it can naturally taste different things from them.

"Come, have some tea."

Sitting on the stone table under the willow tree in the courtyard, Gu Dan took out the treasure that the Daqing imperial family would send to him every year, Qingling fruit tea.

As soon as the tea leaves are brewed, there is a refreshing fruity aroma coming out of them, which is not at the same level as ordinary tea, and even somewhat unlike tea.

This is naturally a different species of Daqing itself. A special tea tree is probably on the same level as Dayong's Tianchengshui and Xia Dynasty's Liuyun Chasing Moon Silk. The annual output is not high, that is, Gu Dan You can only enjoy it if you have a special status.

"Huh? Good stuff!"

Yang Zhu's eyes lit up, he took a sip, closed his eyes and savored carefully, opened his eyes after a while, and said: "This tea is really created by heaven and earth, and it is enough to occupy the top three places among the teas I drink. .”

"Oh? This is only for the top three?"

Gu Dan was quite curious.

"Extremely. The world is vast, and there are many countries in it. Many people, at most, only know some names. Although everyone was born under this world, they have no connection with each other at all. The whole together, rather, it is the unrelated individuals that make up the world.”

Holding Qingling fruit tea in his hand, Yang Zhu said with emotion: "The direction of a country is usually limited to its own country. Even if the two countries are at war, it will rarely have any impact on countries farther away. Most of them just change their names. It’s just a different group of people. Who can say clearly how big the world we are talking about, and how many countries there are? Not to mention the things contained in it!”

Wherever Yang Zhuxing arrived, he pointed to the Xia Dynasty Palace in the distance, and continued: "Like this Xia Dynasty, you were born here and grew up here, so naturally you understand things here, you know the history of the Xia Dynasty, and you know the heroes here. , and even sages and sages feel that this is a very important part.

But before I came to the Xia Dynasty, I didn't know that there was another Xia Dynasty in this world, and it had just been born for 25 years - for ordinary people, this is enough for a generation to grow up and take it for granted.But for countries farther away, the Xia Dynasty may not have even passed down the name taboo, so does it exist and does it affect them?Definitely not!
I am a grand master. Speaking of which, I have reached the peak of mortal force, and I can go all over the world.But I am over ninety years old, and I started to travel around the world after being promoted to Grandmaster. It has been more than forty years since now, and I have traveled to dozens of countries, at least to say the least. There are very few of them who really know each other. few!

The more people I have seen, the bigger the world I have seen, the more I can feel my own insignificance and my own insignificance to the world. "

Yang Zhu stared at the green tea in the tea bowl, but his emotion came from his heart.

If the thickness of a person is calculated according to his experience, then his experience is enough to form a book.

But the experiences of most people in this world are lackluster, not worth mentioning, not to mention a book, even a page, it is difficult to occupy a line of words.

Even, many people have lived in their own small world all their lives, and have never gone out even within a radius of hundreds or thousands of miles.

For those people, is this world really worth caring about how big and how many mysteries there are?

Probably not.

All those who have always been curious about the outside world are either sons with ample food and clothing, or grand masters who have also reached the peak of strength and have no way to advance, without exception.

Even between countries, there are more isolated islands one after another, and only the isolated islands that are adjacent to each other are slightly involved.

"I seem to understand why you put forward the ways of 'for me' and 'yourself'."

One can see the whole picture at a glance. Hearing the meaning of Yang Zhu's words, Gu Dan also felt the other party's mood.

Since the world is so vast, the world is so vast, and individuals are so small, there are very few people who can get together, so why bother?

Isn't it enough to live well!
Anyway, they can only live well on their own.

It is precisely because Yang Zhu has seen too much that he understands how vast the so-called whole is, so vast that even the grand master feels hopeless and small.

That being the case, it is better to pursue the absolute individual, at least the individual can be grasped by oneself.

"Fellow Daoist understands my intentions very well."

Yang Zhu laughed, "Like that Mo Qiu, he is really a first-class hero in the world! It seems that it is not an exaggeration to praise a saint. But how many countries have such a person spread? If he hadn't come to the Xia Dynasty, I have never even heard of the name of Mohism.

How insignificant is an individual when he is in full bloom?Mo Qiu is an outstanding person, but which country does not have its own outstanding persons and heroes?There are so many outstanding people on top of outstanding people!Fame and wealth, money and fortune, passing smoke, passing smoke!What's the point? "

"Fellow Daoist has seen too many people and scenery, and I can no longer find the meaning of being in it?"

Gu Dan asked.

"Brilliant!"

Yang Zhu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands happily, as if he had met a bosom friend, who just pointed out the feeling in his heart.

When you have experienced enough things, you will find that everything is fleeting, and personal efforts and joys and sorrows are in it, which is not enough to praise.

As time goes by, it is inevitable that you will put this idea on yourself.

What can I do by myself?

What is the meaning of itself?
who am I?
Where did it come from?

Where are you going?

When food and clothing are no longer a problem, the strength has reached the peak, and people who have nowhere to go will start to find problems for themselves.

The problem is, the puzzle is too big.

The master couldn't solve it either.

Throughout the ages, all people who try to think about these problems will be hit and beaten and become unlucky.

Therefore, based on his own experience along the way, Yang Zhu summed up the way of serving oneself and honoring oneself.

That is to say, it's enough to live well on your own, no matter how big the world is, it's nothing for me to be unhappy!
Pointless?

It is meaning to let yourself start, and it is meaning to enjoy life.

Although this is not the solution to the ultimate problem, it is a reasonable and self-consistent justification for myself.

"Fellow Daoist doesn't seem to be very old, but he can see such a concept!"

Yang Zhu was amazed, his eyes turned around Gu Dan, and he said with emotion: "I'm afraid there will be no good end!"

Qing Pingzi, who was drinking tea, almost accidentally spit out all the tea in his mouth.

Dare to say that this person will not die well and don't want to live anymore?
"Oh? How can you see it?"

Gu Dan was not angry, but asked instead.

"Because nothing can be done."

Yang Zhu shrugged, "The sooner you start thinking about this problem, the more unfortunate you will be. I have also been entangled in this problem for the past ten years, and so far I have only come up with 'for me', 'yourself', ' "Preserve nature and complete truth" to fight against it. But you, me, and even all living beings are just a part of this world, but you will never be able to set your sights on the world.

Just like the frog at the bottom of the well, sighing in the small well that he can reach, speculating on everything that he "frog-born", how sad and lamentable?We don't even have the chance to see the whole picture, so how dare we say that we are right?We don't even know how big the world is! "

The terrible thing is not that the problem has not been found, but that there is not even a method.

For the rest of his miserable life, he is doomed not to be free!

The more I saw, the more I thought about it, the more pathetic and pathetic I became.

All gurus are bound to face the same problem.

Congratulations, you have reached the pinnacle of the world, and there is no way to advance. What are you going to do next?

Luxurious and extravagant, reckless and happy?

it is good!
Be happy for ten years, 20 years, when you are tired of this joy, what should you do?

Before reaching the peak, you will always have the motivation to climb, because there is still a way ahead.

But after reaching the peak, when there is no way forward, and there is no way forward, people can only compete with themselves, and they will never be able to escape, and they will never find the answer.

He could only wait for death silently with the strength of the pinnacle of the world.

This is another sorrow of the grand master, usually only seen on the aged grand masters.

Grandmaster, grandmaster, what is the point? !
