Chapter 76 We Haven't Lost

Lin Wenruo and Qing Yuanzi had a chat on stage within a quarter of an hour.

Zhao Rong's expression went from relaxed, to calm, to serious, and finally to a frown.

Lin Wenruo sadly stepped down until the thunderous applause exploded in his ears.

In the debate between the two, Lin Wenruo had the upper hand in choosing the topic at first, but Qing Yuanzi was not good at it either. He had a solid foundation in clear talk, rich evidence and clear coherence, and he was stable at the beginning.

But Ruoqing Yuanzi was just like that, Lin Wenruo, who had thoroughly studied his opponent, was not afraid of him at all.

After the clear talk began, Lin Wenruo took every step, expanded his advantages little by little, and fought steadily. Qing Yuanzi gradually became unstoppable and began to respond passively.

In the debate field, passiveness is a disadvantage, and it is often a harbinger of defeat.

Just when Zhao Rong and the two had less than ten sentences, Qing Yuanzi would be crushed and defeated. The purple-robed Taoist priest with a long beard suddenly threw out a surprise that Zhao Rong didn't expect, and Lin Wenruo didn't even dare to think about. logic……

As a result, Qing Yuanzi turned against the guests, and the outcome was completely overturned!
Zhao Rong let out a sigh of relief, feeling that the loss was not a loss, and the hidden backhand on the opposite side was indeed powerful.

The second clear debate is "the debate of whether there is or not".

"The debate between existence and non-existence" is a classic proposition of Taoism, derived from the "Tao Jing", "All things in the world are born from existence, and existence is born from non-existence."

Lin Wenruo holds the "Chongyou Theory", and Qing Yuanzi passively holds "no matter what you are."

The reason why Lin Wenruo chose it was not only because of his research on Qing Yuanzi's past eloquence, and found his weakness here, but also because the "whether or not" debate in this world has developed to this day and was initially widely admired. Many loopholes and contradictions have been discovered by scholars of all dynasties.

"Nothing" is "Tao" in Taoist classics, "being born out of nothing, reality born out of nothingness" was initially recognized by everyone, for example, "Dao creates one, one creates two, two creates three, and three creates all things."

However, there are two fatal contradictions.

First, it is a simple but fatal reasoning. If it is said that "being is born from nothing", then what is the origin of "nothing"?
If you continue to ask questions like this, you will inevitably fall into an infinitely progressive logical dilemma and cannot extricate yourself.

Second, according to the original statement, "nothingness" precedes "existence" in time, and is in "existence" in space. It is "Tao", an absolutely independent nothingness entity.

Since "nothing" precedes "being", "nothingness" is the generator, and "being" is what is produced, then, how does "being" come from "nothingness"?
How does the "nothingness" of the same source produce a variety of material entities?

Although the Taoist sages in the history of the Xuanhuang realm have put forward some remedial explanations, they still cannot get rid of this theoretical predicament.

The above two points are the loopholes held by Qing Yuanzi's "no matter how precious", and they are also the defects of the Dao that the Daoist great masters have not repaired for a long time.

Therefore, Lin Wenruo made Qing Yuanzi lose half of the title just by choosing the topic.

Unless you, Qing Yuanzi, can supplement the Taoist ideology and come up with new theories, you will definitely lose.

but.

This "unless" actually happens.

Qing Yuanzi threw out a theory that can be summed up as "taking nothing as the foundation".

Simply put, the so-called "nothing-based" has a double meaning.

One said "nothing" is the generator of "being".

Second, "no" is the basis of "existence".

His brand-new theory is logically self-consistent and well-founded. It can correct the loopholes in the past Taoism's "debate about whether there is or not", and further develops "no matter what is precious".

When Zhao Rong heard Qing Yuanzi throw out this theory, he was extremely surprised, not because of the theory itself - he had learned this theory in his previous life, and even knew its advantages and disadvantages and subsequent development - but because of its appearance.

After Zhao Rong woke up in this world, combined with the memories of this life and the many "miscellaneous books" he had read, the development of Taoism's "debating whether there is or not" only stopped at a very superficial stage, and now Qing Yuanzi suddenly took out The advanced theory of its next stage really surprised him.

It's just that in Zhao Rong's view, the theoretical version of "nothing as the foundation" that Qing Yuanzi talked about on the stage is still very rough, and the other very important "theory of body and use, one source" involved is also ambiguous. Can.

Thinking about it this way, he should not have deduced it himself, but heard it from somewhere.

But even if it was a very crude theory, it was brand new. To Lin Wenruo, who heard it for the first time, it was simply incredible. It caught him off guard, so he could only force sophistry, and in the end he still lost.

Zhao Rong witnessed the whole process.

He wanted to go up to help Lin Wenruo, but this time the talk was forbidden, so he could only watch his friend get swayed by the other party's argument, and he finally stepped down in despair.

"This can't be the way he proposed! If he could do this, he would already be a monk! Wherever he needs to participate in a talk, he can wipe out the Lanxi Lin Clan with a single finger."

Lin Wenruo's footsteps were unsteady, her eyes staring blankly at Zhao Rong who was supporting him, and she muttered to herself.

"He, he has been to Jixia Academy. Only the Taoists in the Academy can do this. Before I came back from the academy, I never heard of any sage and gentleman in Jixia Academy who made good." Debate'...this must have happened after my return..."

"I know, I know, the news that I sent someone to inquire about this Qing Yuanzi living in seclusion somewhere in Wangquezhou is false. He actually went to Jixia Academy in Tunanzhou!"

Zhao Rong supported the poor man, pursed his lips tightly, and remained silent.

Jixia Academy is one of the largest academies in the Xuanhuang world. It is a holy place for scholars all over the world. It is the place where the contention of a hundred schools of thought is the most intense.

There was still an accident in the plan, but I didn't expect that there was a problem with this place.

I just don't know if the news of Qing Yuanzi's seclusion is Lin Wenruo's inquiring wrong, or whether it is deliberately done by Chong Xuguan.

At this time, the atmosphere in the chanting platform was like a powder keg being detonated, and the overwhelming noise was like a tsunami that covered the sky and swept the sky.

Zhao Rong supported Lin Wenruo and looked around.

The audience in the stands behind him were all admiring Qing Yuanzi's "nothing-oriented" guishu, and there was a lot of discussion.

On the opposite side, many Taoist priests rushing up and eagerly surrounded Qing Yuanzi, who had won a great victory. It was very lively there.

In contrast, on the side of the Lanxi Lin Sect, the silence of the crowd was out of tune with the atmosphere in the scripture-speaking platform at this time.

Zhao Rong clenched the white jade around his waist with one hand, and held his horizontal hand in front of his abdomen.

The surrounding hustle and bustle faded like a tide, and he seemed to be in a grand pantomime.

His expression was quiet, his eyes scanning the crowd.

Lin Wenruo gasped for breath, her eyes wandering, her eyes were out of focus.

Chen Muzhi's face turned pale, and the feather fan fell to the ground.

Lin Qingxuan lowered his head and said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao put her hands together, made a fist in front of her chest, bit her lip and looked at him.

And Liu Sanbian, Yu Linwei, Lanxi Lin's many allies, etc. are all solemn.

On the opposite side of Chongxuguan, there are glances of contempt, ridicule, and schadenfreude.

Lan Yuqing smiled playfully, and the corners of Qing Yuanzi's mouth curled up.

The Nanhua towel old man was neither happy nor angry, his eyes were flat.

Qing Jingzi sneered, his eyes wandering over Su Xiaoxiao.

Zhao Rong's eyes were calm.

"It's over, Tzuyu, it's over, you hurry up and leave Zhongnan Kingdom immediately, there are arrangements down the mountain..." Lin Wenruo took a deep breath and grabbed Zhao Rong's hand suddenly, his eyes fixed on the ground, and he said in a deep voice. road.

"It's not over."

"what?"

Lin Wenruo raised her head blankly.

"One win and one loss, we haven't lost yet."

The young scholar said calmly.
