i have a sword fairy

Chapter 327 Saints and Thieves

The autumn wind blows.

Amidst the rustling of the bamboo forest, in the open space of the solitary pavilion, a woman who looked like a fairy was standing among the fallen leaves with her skirt sleeves fluttering around.

Her three thousand blue silks were coiled up, and another purple ribbon was tied between her black hair, and the elegant end hung down.

On the flawless face of the woman with autumn eyes, there is a faint mole of tears under her left eye.

Not only did it not destroy this peerless green lotus-like face, but the finishing touch made it impressive and even more memorable.

At this moment, she was looking at the old man in the solitary pavilion without blinking a pair of twinkling autumn eyes.

Beside the woman with autumn eyes, there is also a pretty girl with flying fairy temples, who is lifting her chin slightly, fighting against her.

In fact, the little girl was distracted just now, counting the next time to find a certain big pig's trotters, and was wondering why life passed so slowly, she didn't realize it before.

As a result, the girl with Feixian temples was distracted like this, and suddenly noticed that the lady beside her stood up and said something.

She didn't hear it clearly, but no matter what, she just stood up and stood up. She couldn't lose her momentum. She agreed with everything the lady said, except... eating alone, Zhao... Concubine Zhao Ling, don't even think about it!Humph.

Around them, a group of students sitting on the ground focused their eyes on them.

Including a certain Fairy from the Taiyi Mansion who put away the auspicious dragon carp. After all, in the open space at this moment, a certain woman even uses Donglai Ziqi to tie her hair casually. How can this make others show off...

Not far away, a young Confucian student wearing a student's green jacket stopped the act of oiling the soles of his feet and was looking back.

It's just that most people didn't notice him, because the protagonists on the field at this time were the Taoist gentleman inside the pavilion and the beautiful woman outside the pavilion.

Not long after the latter's cold voice fell.

"Do something."

Tao Yuanran repeated it lightly, looking at Concubine Zhao Ling without sadness or joy.

The string of wooden beads in his hand was still rolling, but one of the beads seemed to have been painted and was bright purple.

Tao Yuanran glanced at the purple ribbon hanging from Concubine Zhao Ling's hair, with a smile on her lips, looked around, and said loudly:
"Is there anyone else who thinks the same as these two girls?"

Before he finished speaking, more than half of the students raised their hands to signal.

"Huh?" Zhao Rong raised his brows, is this lady so popular?
As a result, he glanced and found that almost all the people who raised their hands were men.

The corner of Zhao Rong's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Are you thinking the same as Qingjun Qian'er?You guys are mean!
Zhao Qian'er looked back, the expression on her pretty face remained unchanged.

It's just that her eyes were alone on Liu Kongyi, who was unobtrusive among the crowd who didn't raise her hands, and she paused slightly.

The little girl who had found out almost everything about Brother Rong'er's time in the Taiqing Mansion narrowed her eyes slightly.

Concubine Zhao Ling still looked directly at Tao Yuanran, and she did not move her gaze from the silent support from her fellow disciples around her.

Tao Yuanran nodded slightly, and said softly:
"Do something, do you really need to do something? If no matter how you do it, no matter how hard you try, it will be wrong, and how much you do wrong?"

Concubine Zhao Ling frowned slightly, "Please enlighten me, sir."

Tao Yuanran shook his head with a calm expression, "I don't dare to teach you."

"Since the girl chooses to stand up and ask the old man this question, no matter right or wrong, she has her own thinking, which is already very good, and... there must be knowledgeable relatives or teachers around her, so that the girl can be impressed."

Concubine Zhao Ling shook her head and did not answer the question, "I don't dare to do it. It's just that the little girl is stupid and can't understand the truth of the husband. Why do you want to berate Confucian scholars, Taizong, Xuandilu and the ancient emperor so much?"

Tao Yuanran stroked his beard and nodded, "I heard that a wise man is good at explaining people's doubts, and this old man steals the name of a wise man, girl, let me tell you."

Concubine Zhao Ling's voice was crisp and clear, "Listen carefully."

The old man in the pavilion asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that we really need to do something?"

The field was quiet for a while, and everyone was waiting for the Taoist gentleman to speak.

But Tao Yuanran suddenly laughed, thinking of something.

He looked at Concubine Zhao Ling and said with a smile:

"The old man thought of a little fellow daoist I met before. Maybe the words of this little friend can make Miss Zhao understand better than the words of the old man, and they can also persuade the girl better."

Concubine Zhao Ling looked cold and said nothing.

Tao Yuanran smiled.

"Not honoring the virtuous, so that the people will not fight; not valuing hard-to-find goods, so that the people will not steal; not seeing what is desirable, so that the people's hearts will not be confused. The rule of the sage always makes the people ignorant and desireless, so that those who know do not dare to act Also. If you do nothing, everything will be cured.”

Tao Yuanran paused slightly, and asked kindly:

"Miss Zhao, 'do something', do your best, is it really better than 'doing nothing', than doing nothing?"

"Confucian scholars, elevating the virtuous, advocating morality, benevolence and righteousness, enacting etiquette and laws, the more you 'do something', the more big mistakes you will make!"

Concubine Zhao Ling frowned, thinking seriously, but didn't answer for a while.

At this moment, in the open space outside the pavilion, needles could be heard falling, and most of the students in the palace looked thoughtful.

Only at this time, Tao Yuanran spoke again.

The old man showed a little reminiscence, "That little fellow Taoist also said..."

"There are many taboos in the world, but the people are impoverished; there are many sharp weapons, and the country grows faint; there are many tricks, and strange things grow; and the laws are many, and there are many thieves."

"Therefore, I do nothing, and the people transform themselves; I am quiet, and the people are righteous; I do nothing, and the people are rich; I have no desires, and the people are simple."

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is already there. Everyone knows that good is good, and this is not good. Therefore, existence and non-existence are born together, and difficult and easy are complemented by each other..."

Not far away, Zhao Rong, who had been looking calmly ever since Tao Yuanran spoke, folded his hands into his sleeves and nodded slightly.

Now Tao Yuanran's words, in fact, only need to understand the most important sentence.

Most of the other words are expositions of this principle.

That is to say, "Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and this is evil, and everyone knows that what is good is good, and this is not good." '

This is the words of the general, which means:

Everyone in the world knows what the standard of beauty is, so the opposite standard of ugliness is also determined at the same time;
Everyone in the world knows what the definition of good is, and the opposite definition of evil is also determined.

On the surface, nothing seems amiss.

Good and evil, good and bad, have been determined, which is very good, isn't this progress.

But is this really the case?
Zhao Rong likes to read miscellaneous books, especially official history and unofficial history.

During these days, I was studying history in the library and library of the academy while attending classes and teaching, and I read enough.

It's just that when he was reading history late at night, he would often cover the scroll and stare at the orange light in silence.

The windows of the north room were closed, and there was no autumn wind, but it was shuddering.

The 'good guy', 'bad guy' category is extremely dangerous.

Confucian sages admire goodness and beauty, and Confucian scholars formulate rituals to promote goodness and beauty.

But when everyone in the world knows what goodness and beauty are, goodness and beauty will become a capital that can be used.

At this time, the superficial goodness and beauty are often a kind of disguise or performance, and the pretender thus gains the power to do whatever he wants.

Therefore, as the moral standard of Confucianism, the ethics that should be good and beautiful have become... the ethics of cannibalism.

It has become a ladder for countless people to advance and a tool for killing people.

This is also what Tao Yuanran wants to express.

So 'do not honor the virtuous', 'do not value hard-to-find goods', 'do not see what you want', 'do not issue laws'...do not respect benevolence, righteousness, morality and propriety.

Only in this way can we 'keep the people from fighting', 'keep the people from stealing', 'keep the people from chaos'...and make the people self-centered, self-righteous, self-rich and simple.

Don't do "actions" and use "inaction" to govern the country.

So ever.

'Do nothing', but 'do nothing'...

Soon.

After Tao Yuanran recounted someone's deafening words.

There was a dead silence in the audience, and everyone's expressions were wonderful.

Zhao Lingfei frowned tightly, seeming to understand.

You Fusheng took a deep breath and nodded in a daze.

You Fusheng still frowned in confusion.

Some Fu students who had been listening to the lecture with their eyes closed suddenly opened their eyes with surprise.

The question-and-answer conversation between Tao Yuanran and Fairy Zhao just now was wonderful.

This "other people's words" recounted by Tao Yuanran is amazing.

In the last row in the open space, Tao Yuanran would come to 'low-key' to listen to every class, Liu Kongyi also opened his beautiful eyes, couldn't help getting up and said:
"Sir, what you said..."

She paused slightly, her chest heaved violently, her tone softened a bit, but she still said with amazement: "Who is the senior who said these words?!"

Tao Yuanran seemed not to have heard Liu Kongyi's question.

He nodded to himself and sighed.

"What that little fellow Taoist said was really good. It wasn't just a verbal dispute at the time, but he really understood the principles of our Taoist sages and knew how to govern the country without doing anything."

Tao Yuanran shook his head again, "And he said that he just flipped through some Taoist scriptures in his spare time... It's really a pity that he doesn't enter the Taoist sect to practice Taoism with this level of comprehension."

Everyone looked at each other.

The old man smiled half-smile.

At this moment, Concubine Zhao Ling thought for a while, her brows loosened slightly, and then she frowned again.

She shook her head slightly.

Concubine Zhao Ling didn't chase after the sages like Liu Kongyi, at most she admired and affirmed the words of that senior.

But she didn't dare to be interested in who this person was.

Concubine Zhao Ling just wanted to solve the problem that was bothering her heart.

Why are Confucian scholars and Mo Xias wrong in their 'youwei'.

That's why she stood up today and asked this Taoist gentleman.

It's not that if you have a high cultivation base and a big title, you must be right.

If you want me to sit down, I will come up with convincing reasons.

Concubine Zhao Ling didn't care who Tao Yuanran was talking about as a 'little fellow Taoist'. If she couldn't convince her of the truth, then it wouldn't work even if this expert was the Taoist ancestor!
It's not Brother Rong'er who can bully her unreasonably, making Concubine Zhao Ling helplessly rely on him and listen to him.

And such an existence, the only one in the world is Husband.

Concubine Zhao Ling's pretty face was sullen, her expression was cold, but in the eyes of some men, the scenery was really stunning, it seemed even more beautiful.

On the field, Zhao Qian'er didn't listen much to the argument between her young lady and Tao Yuanran, but looked around with a little vigilance, acting as the young lady's flower protector.

The unblinking gazes of some men made the little girl quite upset, especially...they were still looking at her!
Xiao Qian'er nodded, thinking that she must have just entered the mansion, ah, those toads thought she was easy to bully, and the sword was not fast.

It seems that they have to show how powerful 'Brother Smelly Rong' is.

Well, her natal Flying Sword is nicknamed 'Brother Smelly Ronger' in private, but it seems that she is going to change her name now, because no one can hear it...

Then be more secluded and call it 'stinky pig's trotters', so don't take it for granted, hee hee.

The little girl smiled suddenly, her eyebrows and eyes were joyful.

　Thanks for the reward of 17500 coins from the good brother 'Zhuzhi'!Thank you, good brother Zhuzhi, for building a building in the book friend circle~ Oh, the details in the last chapter of the egg chapter, I forgot that everyone has perspective eyes like me, so I can’t see the details in the cafeteria, sorry~('Details' needle is not To poke the needle or not to poke...)
