i have a sword fairy

Lan Yuqing, Qing Jingzi and the others looked surprised.Aren't you a direct disciple of the academy's chief?What kind of medicine is Lin Wenruo selling?

Lin Wenruo coughed lightly.

Lin Qingxuan sighed.

Chen Muzhi's old face turned red, a little embarrassed.

Most of the audience in the audience were puzzled. Is Lanxi Lin's plan to give up the third game?

The old Nanhuajin's expression was still calm, he got up and returned the salute, and said slowly: "Old Tao Yuanran, Louguan Taoist sent a guest minister, Wangque Taiqing four master Taoism, Taoist gentleman."

"Wow!"

The whole place exploded, like the evil flood dragon raised its head in the Bitan.

Speaking of scriptures, the crowd was full of people.

This is the gentleman of a hundred families!

Chapter 78 Quiet and Inaction

"Clap clap clap-"

The lectern stage ushered in the biggest applause since the opening.

Overwhelming, deafening.

Among the more than 2000 people in the audience, many audience members with casual and uninhibited postures began to straighten their backs, sit up straight, and looked serious.

because.

At this moment, in front of them is a gentleman from a hundred families!

Moreover, it is also a Taoist among several prominent families, and its gold content is extremely high.

Even many people feel a little dreamy.

Can you meet a living Taoist gentleman today?

In today's Wangque Continent, the hundreds of gentlemen may be rarer than the seventh-level monks, less than the number of palms.

Of course, this may be because Wangquezhou is too small, which can be seen from the fact that there are only two Confucian 72 academies.

The storm in Tunanzhou had too little effect on its distant Wangquezhou.

Chen Muzhi looked ugly, looked away from the stage, turned to Lin Wenruo and said bitterly, "Brother Wenruo, this, this..."

Lin Wenruo's expression was solemn, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, opened her eyes and said, "We haven't lost yet."

It's just that his voice trembled slightly at this time, and the firmness in his tone was like a small boat in a heavy rain, and it may be smashed by a wild beast-like wave in the next second.

His eyes darkened slightly.

A gentleman, what is it in a hundred schools, he is probably one of the people who know best on the field.

Because he is a scholar of Siqi Academy, he is a scholar of Confucianism.

Looking at the scholars in the world, if you don't talk about a hundred schools, you only talk about Confucianism.

Only when you become a student of the academy can you have the status of a scholar.

Above the scholar is the gentleman.

On the surface, it seems only a short step away, but if you want to cross it, it is like facing the abyss like a chasm.

The weight of these two words is like a mountain barbarian.

Just in the Siqi Academy where he is located, there are only three people who have the title of gentleman in the whole academy. One is the head of the academy, the other is a low-key and devoted teacher of classics, and the other is just not long ago. The apprentice and brother who were given the title by the Confucian Temple.

A gentleman is the mainstay of every school among the hundred schools of thought. This title is extremely difficult to obtain, and it has nothing to do with cultivation, only knowledge and morality.

Thinking of his junior brother whom he had met a few times, Lin Wenruo pursed his lips, he knew how "terrifying" it was to be a gentleman.And now on the stage, the one who is about to have a face-to-face talk with a friend is one of them.

Not far away, hundreds of blue-clothed Taoist priests were at the forefront.

Lan Yuqing had been expressionless ever since she had just looked away from the Lin brothers, but after the Nanhua towel old man reported her identity that she already knew, she suddenly became a little boring, not just this debate between Confucianism and Taoism.

At this moment, in the rain of applause, she did not mock someone as she thought before, telling him that it was all in her calculations, laughing at him, in the face of absolute strength, the conspiracy and tricks are ridiculous bubbles , she just calmly looked at the piece of jade Ruyi that fell to the ground, without joy or sorrow.

"Don't worry, niece."

Qing Yuanzi glanced at Lan Yuqing's face, and said with a smile: "This Lanxi Lin sect will not be able to turn the sky, Mr. Tao is not only a Taoist gentleman, but also a great monk in the Nascent Soul Realm. The yellow-haired boy who has no crown is countless times, what does he compare to Mr. Tao?"

"It's only been ten years since he came out of his mother's womb. Even if he doesn't eat and reads every day, he can still read a scripture. Unless he can know it like a saint, hehe, if he wasn't worried that he was a disciple of the academy's mountain chief, I chose him directly in the second poor road, where do I need to trouble Mr. Tao."

Qing Yuanzi sighed; "Alas, I don't know if Mr. Tao will be grumpy."

Qing Jingzi, who was really looking at somewhere, suddenly snorted coldly: "It's really cheap, you can actually argue with a gentleman, huh, he will go to hell soon, and he should die and rest his eyes."

Since he is not a disciple of the academy's mountain chief, there is no need for him to live.

Taoist Huang Zi looked away reluctantly from a certain little fox demon, and turned his head to look at Qing Yuanzi.

"Senior brother, can you please let Mr. Tao stay for a while longer, this is a distinguished guest from afar, but it has troubled him again because of this. Now, if Mr. Tao can say something nice for us..."

Qing Yuanzi looked hesitant and embarrassed, "I'm afraid it will be difficult, I have visited a lot of great people in the upper sect at Jixia Academy, only Mr. Tao agreed to come and see the ancestral land, he happened to be going to Taiqing House to teach, I I inquired about his tone on the way, Mr. Tao probably won't stay too long, as for speaking for us... or, let's ask again before he leaves?"

Lan Yuqing, who was standing beside the two of them, didn't hear anything at this moment, bowed his head slightly, and stared at the piece of white jade under his feet.

Under the impact of the milky white jade body, the surface was actually intact.

But she knew that this piece of beautiful jade bred in Zhongnan Mountain was already broken inside.

Suddenly, the woman in purple moved, she didn't say a word, stepped over the beautiful jade, pierced the crowd, strode away, and didn't look back.

She suddenly wanted to see that piece of Guilin.

After the woman left, the chat on the field continued.

The applause in the chanting platform gradually subsided.

Zhao Rong, who has been treated differently, is not annoyed. He quietly looked at the Taoist gentleman on the opposite side, laughing at himself. I have another identity to tell you that I am afraid to scare you and my son-in-law. The opening identity of the protagonist in this novel...

Layman Liuyi said in a respectful tone, "Mr. Tao please choose a topic."

At this time, near noon, the sun was blazing and quiet.

Under everyone's attention, the old Nanhua towel named Tao Yuanran turned his head to the right, raised his right hand holding the rosary, stretched out a finger, and pointed to the outside of the scripture platform, the vast mountain in the south. A wonder.

It's the rock carving on the cliff!

Tao Yuanran smiled and said, "Just argue this 'quiet and inaction'."

Zhao Rong's face was calm, as if he had already understood it, but the next moment, what the old man said made his eyes narrow.

"I hold 'doing', you hold 'doing nothing'."

Zhao Rong narrowed his eyes and nodded.

To do or not to do, is a long-standing dispute between Confucianism and Taoism.

But because the clear talk is just a debate, not a question between Confucianism and Taoism, so Zhao Rong, as a Confucian student, holds the argument of "doing nothing", and Tao Yuanran, as a Taoist gentleman, holds the argument of "doing something". Just do it.

In addition to eloquence, this also tests the reading volume and understanding of the classics of Confucianism and Taoism on both sides.

So everyone present saw this quite dramatic scene.

Taoist Tao Yuanran took the lead in throwing out his views.

"Tianxingjian, the gentleman is self-improvement; the terrain is Kun, the gentleman carries things with great virtue. Therefore, the gentleman will do something."

Confucian scholar Zhao Rong did the opposite.

"The Dao is always inactive, and there is nothing that can't be done. If the princes and kings can keep it, all things will be self-transforming. If you want to do it, I will suppress it with nameless simplicity. If you don't want to be quiet, the world will be self-sufficient. Certainly."

Chapter 79 Under Zhao Ziyu

"Doing or not doing" is the fundamental difference between Confucianism and Taoism.

There are three reasons why Taoism advocates "inaction":

In the past there was nothing to do, but now there is something, the Tao has nothing to do but virtue has something to do, the heaven has nothing to do but people have something to do.

Therefore, the struggle between Confucianism and Taoism is the struggle between ancient and modern, the struggle between morality, and the struggle between heaven and man.

The right and wrong of Confucianism and Taoism also lies in this.

The debate between Zhao Rong and Tao Yuanran this time focused on these three points.

Zhao Rong and Tao Yuanran competed against each other.

Zhao Rong: "If you don't value the virtuous, the people will not fight; if you don't value the rare goods, the people will not be stolen; if you don't see what you want, the people will not be confused. Therefore, the rule of the sage will always make the people ignorant and have no desires, and make the husband know. Don't dare to do it. If you do nothing, everything will be cured."

Tao Yuanran: "A gentleman is safe and does not forget danger, survival but not death, governance but not chaos. Therefore, a gentleman will have actions and actions. When asked where he is, he will speak, and his orders will be like directions, and there is no distance or distance. You are deep, and you know that what comes, is not the best in the world, who can match this?"

Zhao Rong: "The world is full of taboos, and the people are poor; the people are full of sharp weapons, and the country is dizzy; the people are full of tricks, and strange things flourish; the laws are prosperous, and there are many thieves. Therefore, I do nothing, but the people are self-converted; I like to be quiet, And the people are self-righteous; I have nothing to do, and the people are rich; I have no desires, and the people are humble.”

Tao Yuanran: "..."

……

Offstage, Lin Wenruo listened intently to the arguments on stage, stared at the two on stage, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

Before the debate began, Lin Wenruo was very worried, especially after learning that Zhao Rong's opponent was a Taoist gentleman, and even had the illusion that he had lost the ending, but now that Zhao Rong didn't lose the slightest in the beginning, he was hanging up. Heart can not help but let go a little, at least there is hope!

And the more Lin Wenruo listened, the more surprised he was. He found that Zhao Rong had outstanding eloquence, and he was even more familiar with Taoist classics. I have studied Taoism, and it seems that it is not as simple as just casually reading it.

On the other side of the venue, where the spectators of the Chongxu were located, the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Isn't this talk one-sided?

This is very different from what they expected.

Qingjingzi's face was a little ugly. Although he was not good at articulation, he was very aware of this matter. The situation of the two sides on the court only explained one point.

The eloquence of the two on the field is similar, and they cannot defeat the opponent immediately. They can only see which side reveals the loophole first, becomes passive, and finally loses.

Qing Jingzi glanced at Qing Yuanzi, and found that the other party was staring at the scholar on the stage that he had always looked down on before, with an unbelievable expression.

Qing Jingzi suddenly felt a sense of happiness.

Fortunately, in the second game, Qing Yuanzi did not choose this Zhao Ziyu, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!

At this time, the battle between the two on the stage gradually intensified.

Zhao Rong has always adhered to the point of view of "doing nothing, and doing nothing without doing". He believes that a gentleman uses the policy of "doing nothing to rule the country" and does not take the initiative to provoke wars. If there is no disaster in the country, the people will naturally become prosperous.

The gentleman who runs a country has no desire, and the people will naturally be simple.

And it is stated that "governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food", don't stir with a shovel when the pot is turned, otherwise the meat will be broken.By extension, it is said that to govern a big country is not to disturb the people, not to be complicated, and not to change the order.

In short, nothing can be done without doing anything.

Tao Yuanran, on the other hand, strongly opposed it, believing that the premise of "governance by inaction" is that officials and commoners abide by it consciously, or it may be counter-intellectual, making the people of the country stupid and unwilling, and obeying the ruler's command like a lamb, otherwise "inaction" means nothing. As a result, the country will become more and more chaotic.

These premises are ideal, so they do not hold.

And he believes that a gentleman must do something to govern a country, that is, "do something", and he must stand up and do something, no matter whether the result is good or bad, he must do something.

Zhao Rong held a fist on his leg with one hand, and placed Yuheng with the other in front of his abdomen, his eyes focused and his words burning.

Tao Yuanran, who had been turning the rosary at the beginning of the debate, had stopped moving his hands, and stared at the scholar in front of him with a more serious expression.

Both of them were tongue-in-cheek and fierce, and neither of them gave in the slightest.

Zhao Rong: "Do what you don't do, teach what you don't say, don't want to be quiet, the world will decide for itself."

Tao Yuanran: "How do you do it?"

Zhao Rong: "The sage said, empty your heart, strengthen your belly, weaken your will, and strengthen your bones. The top is like a branch, and the people are like wild deer."

Tao Yuanran: "According to what you have done, there is no father and no ruler, you are a beast! The chaos in the world began with you!"

After that, the situation suddenly changed!

Lin Wenruo frowned under the stage, looking at the aggressive Tao Yuanran on stage, she had a bad premonition.

Tao Yuanran's tone was scorching, "You said, do nothing but do nothing, then follow your body and go first; you also say that you are only a homeless person, so you don't go. This is entirely based on the benefits and losses of personnel, and it is completely planned to deal with power and strategy. "

He also said: "It was the beginning of the transformation of practical utility, heavy power, and deceit. He grasped nature and played with it on the palm of his hand. If he pretended not to do anything, but his heart was deliberate, he wanted to do everything."

Tao Yuanran's attack on Zhao Rong's conclusion "doing nothing but doing nothing" focused on the word "doing nothing", and attributed Zhao Rong's point of view to conspiracy theory and power theory.

He used ingenious logic to distort Zhao Rong's point of view, making Zhao Rong's previous dialectic untenable and contradictory.
