i have a sword fairy

Chapter 66
The next day, at [-]:[-] a.m.

Zhao Rong got up and washed. After so many days of work, he finally slept peacefully. Although he was still concerned about the heart of the furnace made of the Kui Niu demon pill that he didn't know where it was left behind, he also vaguely knew that he could only do his best in this matter. Listen to destiny.

He picked up the morning exercises and classes that he had put down for a few days, bathed in the first light of the morning, and walked among the forests a hundred and eighty paces behind the yard.

The thin mist slowly passed through the gaps in the forest, and there were countless particles wandering leisurely in the bundles of golden morning light that leaked from the leaves.

Zhao Rong completed the three hundred punches of lazily tying his clothes in "Negative Mountain", and felt that there was still no innate vitality in his body. He shook his head with a wry smile, and did not know when he would find that innate vitality.

Yesterday evening, Liu Sanbian came to him, checked his progress and condition, the gloomy man who was a little dull when not drinking comforted him and left.

Zhao Rong wiped his neck and neck with a sweat towel, returned to the yard, washed his face, spread paper and ink on the table, ready to practice calligraphy, the breeze came from the window, Zhao Rong tilted his head casually, and took a breath of fresh air. Cool breeze, through the lightly concealed lattice window, I caught a glimpse of the cliff stone carving, and my heart moved.

He carefully looked at the distant horizon, the vague four-character stone carving, combined with the impressions in memory, slowly wrote and copied it on paper.

The first time he raised his head at that time, the ancient stone calligraphy impressed him deeply.

Speaking of the four words "quiet and inaction", it is indeed the Taoist thought and treatment.

He knew that the conflict between Lanxi Lin's and Chongxuguan was actually here.

To do, or to do nothing.

Chongxu view believes that it is an optimal plan to implement inaction to govern the country in the general direction and maintain the model of small countries with few people.

One thing to note is that Chongxu Guan is Taoism, not Taoism. Taoism has the art of governing the country, but Taoism has its own limitations. It is to better absorb the rich cultivation resources of Zhongnan Mountain.

And Chongxuguan knows that if everyone is quiet and inaction, and no one does practical work, the country will not last long. Therefore, in the absence of Taoism, it is necessary to support some Confucian forces and let Confucian students do things in the middle and lower levels. It is in their interests, and the one who holds the bull's ear is the Lanxi Lin sect.

In fact, before Lin Wenruo, the Lanxi Lin clan, or Zhongnan Confucianism, has always compromised with the Taoist forces headed by Chongxuguan. After all, when the monarch of Zhongnan asked a great Confucian to govern the country, Chongxuguan acquiesced, and Chongxuguan acted as his own. The first comers have deep roots in Zhongnan Kingdom, and it is difficult for the latecomers to shake.

However, slowly, looking back on the history of the Zhongnan Kingdom over the past several hundred years, the group of Confucian scholars headed by Lin Wenruo discovered that, with Taoism as the mainstay and Confucianism as the supplement, inaction in the general direction of governing the country is unworkable and must be done something, that is, "to do".

The new law came into being. This time the new law was different from the previous "reforms" in Zhongnan. It was strongly promoted by a certain Confucian scholar, and the implementation was very thorough, so it also triggered the rebound of the inherent interests. If the existing power structure of Zhongnan is maintained, the new law cannot be implemented.

Therefore, Lin Wenruo single-handedly directed this debate between Confucianism and Taoism, in order to root out the obstacles that he believed hindered the progress of the carriage of Zhongnan Kingdom, and completely grasp the authority.

While thinking about it, Zhao Rong copied the four-character stone carvings. The latent copying of scriptures some time ago has tempered his ability to do both.

He squinted his eyes, and suddenly remembered Lin Wenruo's drunken remarks when he had a heart-to-heart relationship at Moonlight Lake Heart Pavilion.

At that time, the Confucian scholar who was not drunk but was fascinated by the night of Zhongnan was holding a guqin, leaning on the railing, and looking out of the pavilion with his head tilted, his expression was unclear, but his tone was calm.

"Obviously it has the most abundant resources, and it occupies the right time and place, but it has been stagnant. For thousands of years, the country has not made any progress, and the system has become more and more corrupt, and problems have emerged one after another. Looking around, Da Chen has a legalist reform, the Northern Qi has a famous general and a strong army, and the Southern Wei Dynasty has a strong army. There are capable ministers in power, and strong enemies are at hand, and South Africa will end up in a corner of the country, which is a place to be fought, but up to now, there are internal and external troubles, and the danger is like a pile of eggs."

"Is it Zhongnan who has no son?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Rong suddenly stopped writing and looked at the four characters on the paper.

"Quiet and inaction."

The contradiction between the Lanxi Lin clan and Chongxu Guan, on the surface, is a struggle for state governance, but in essence it is a microcosm of the "doing and not doing" struggle between the two schools of Confucianism and Taoism in the Xuanhuang realm.

This is the fundamental difference between Confucianism and Taoism.

It involves ancient and modern disputes, moral disputes, and disputes between heaven and man.

Although he is a Confucian student now, in order to complete the graduation thesis on the pre-Qin disciples in his previous life, he once looked at this issue from an objective point of view.

He supports Confucianism, which is down-to-earth, but he does not hate Taoism. On the contrary, he appreciates the high Daoism of Taoism.

However, the "law of inaction" promoted by Chongxuguan, in his opinion, is not included in this list.

This was also one of the reasons why he agreed to Lin Wenruo's participation in the debate between Confucianism and Taoism tomorrow, not just because of the kind invitation from his friends.

"Zhao Rong, Zhao Rong..."

His thoughts were interrupted by the soft call of the little fox demon outside the door.

Zhao Rong stopped writing, tidied up a little, then went out and accompanied Su Xiaoxiao to her yard for breakfast.

This little girl shouted yesterday that she has learned a unique cooking skill from the cook, and this morning, she will cook him a hearty breakfast that will not only grow his brain, but also replenish his body. If he doesn't finish it, he won't give it to him. Her "Fox Fairy Little Chef" face.

Zhao Rong glanced at Su Xiaoxiao's big fox eyes, stared straight at him, took a deep breath, and under the eagerly looking forward eyes of the little fox demon, he had no choice but to swallow the one that was bigger than his face and ate half of it. No stuffed buns, eh?Why are there two small handprints on this bun?
Hello Su Xiaoxiao, is this handprint yours?
Quickly stretch out the hand shrunk behind your back!
It's no wonder that the buns are so big. You just pinch the whole dough at will, and then the stuffing is done directly. Have you ever made buns like this?

Zhao Rong left Su Xiaoxiao's yard dumbfounded and went out to run errands. Today, he will go back to Xuguan's appearance to try his luck again to see if he can find the heart of the furnace.

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her snow-white hands that were made red by the bad guy who ate her breakfast and bullied her aggrievedly. She just saw the clean plate on the stone table, she tilted her head and squinted. Smile, hum a song, and pack up.

She thought, she will not sleep in in the future, get up early to make breakfast, um, make some for him by the way, just by the way.

----

The sun was high and the sky was slowly setting. In the afternoon, Zhao Rong returned to the manor with a tired body.

This trip to Taibai Mountain has achieved nothing, and there is no clue about the heart of the furnace at all. It has been "visiting" in the temple for a long time. If you stay there again, it will be very conspicuous. Maybe you will encounter the winding road yesterday. The deserted Daoist aunt who met on the mountain road was finished when he was recognized, so Zhao Rong had no choice but to return.

Gui couldn't help but said: "It's really not good, forget it, practice on the mountain, don't be obsessed with insisting. That Li Jijian pill that was almost complete, I will look back and think of a way to see if it can be used as waste. As for Tingni Zijin The furnace, although it lacks the heart of the furnace, can't be used, but its material is the rare Tingni purple gold, and we will melt it later and use it as the refining material for the flying sword of your destiny."

Zhao Rong nodded slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled lightly, and returned to the yard.

It's just that he just rested for a while when he saw outside the courtyard, a tall and handsome man, a long sleeved robe, not shoes but sandals, carrying a black and red wine jar, pushed the door and entered.

　Ahem, let's start the show right away. . .
