Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 119

Perhaps because of the impact on his thinking, Pan Shizheng's whole brain was in a state of shutdown for a while, and he couldn't give Li Tai a clear answer, and Li Tai was not in a hurry, so he asked Du Chuke to arrange Pan Shizheng to the agricultural school.

After all, the Agricultural Institute built a batch of rental houses after last year, mainly to provide services for the students who came to Chang'an for scientific examinations, so that they could have a place to stay when they came to the Agricultural Institute to study, and the academy also charged a fee along the way.

As for these houses, it is not difficult to find a single-family courtyard, and at this moment, Pan Shizheng has arranged them inside.

"Really Pan has settled down!" After Du Chuke made arrangements for Pan Shizheng, he came back to see Li Tai.

"It's good that the real person stays here!" Li Tai nodded, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said,

"If the real person has figured it out and wants to meet with me, you can inform me, and I will make an appointment to meet with the real person for further discussion."

Du Chuke took a strange look at Li Tai, and said, "King Yue, are you going to teach another subject, Dao?"

"I have this idea!" Li Tai nodded when he heard Du Chuke's words, "But it must be approved by Master Pan!

I need a famous Taoist to endorse me, otherwise, how can this matter of proving the Tao be linked to Taoism. "

"It sounds like this subject is somewhat similar to Moke!" Du Chuke, the former chief of Moke, couldn't help but sigh.

"It just looks similar, but they are actually different!" Li Tai nodded, but shook his head and said:
"Taoism is to seek the Tao as the standard, to prove the Tao, and to use mathematics as a tool to explore the eternal truth in the world.

And Moke is to realize the truth, apply it in real life, and use the energy of ghosts and gods for mortals. This is the greatness of Moke.

Dao Ke is the lamp, guiding the direction, and Mo Ke is the crutch, assisting the advancement. Both are indispensable, as if Yin and Yang are two poles, indispensable. "

To be honest, in Li Tai's opinion, if he can understand Pan Shizheng, he can push Taoism to basic science, and then push Mohism to applied science. The new faction formed by the combination of Taoism and Mohism will form A new school system was established.

There is no way, the Mohism of this era is dead, and it is unrealistic to pull out a Mohism by yourself.

However, it is still possible to rely on Taoism as the theoretical basis, and then realize the theoretical basis in the name of Mo Ke.

A very important sign of modern science is that scientific theory comes first, followed by technological application.

The important reason why modern society is becoming more and more turbulent is that the basic theories of the [-]th and [-]th centuries have been overwhelmed by modern science and technology.

Although it has not been brought to the extreme, there are many remaining theories that cannot be supported by a single country if they want to practice.

It's as if research and development has reached the deep water area, and the difficulty of mastering will continue to increase. At least until the technology of controllable nuclear fusion is fully mastered, it cannot be said that the scientific theory of the [-]th century has been brought to the extreme.

Of course, this goes a bit far.

But for Li Tai, he only needs to do two things. One is to guide Taoism in the direction of proving the Tao, and the other is to change the situation that China's applied science is moving faster than theoretical science, so that theoretical science can guide applied technology.

Because the Tang Dynasty was really a very special historical period. Before this era, the aristocratic family had accumulated too much experience and technology.

It's just that Wu Huanhua interrupted the progress of civilization. The killing and war made the family forget the purpose of its own inheritance. The survival instinct made the family stop playing with things that are still aspirations, but all fight for power and profit, and find a way for the family to survive.

But to survive and survive, they just survive for the sake of survival.

This kind of performance reached the extreme, but deprived the people of their living space. With the fire in Huangchao, the whole family was completely buried with the Tang Dynasty.

To some extent, the Tang Dynasty was the last carnival of the gentry, and it was also the last flashback.

In fact, don't look at the Li and Tang royal family's containment of the gentry, and Wu Zetian's containment of the gentry, but in the end, from the birth to the demise of the entire Li and Tang Dynasty, the gentry power existed from beginning to end and occupied almost a major part.

Strictly speaking, the gentry forces played themselves to death. When they thought they were invincible, they were almost at the point of destruction, but Huang Chao became the last filler and held a grand funeral for the gentry.

Really, is Huang Chao's peasant uprising more powerful than Wuhu Luanhua's back then, or is it more brutal than the general of the universe Hou Jing?
The gentry who couldn't even destroy these, why didn't they disappear after the Tang Dynasty was destroyed? Isn't it just that the gentry played themselves to death!
But Li Tai is not interested in the gentry, what Li Tai is interested in is the various technologies created and preserved by their ancestors.

As a good habit of the aristocratic family, the skills mastered by the ancestors must be recorded, and even become part of the family learning.

At most, they now feel that these things are useless, so they no longer take the initiative to learn this knowledge.

The most typical one is the Zheng family in Xingyang. After Zheng Hun, although the family no longer takes the route of improving tools, if it is said that their family does not have Zheng Hun's manuscripts in their collection, no one will believe it.

Even before the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin and the chaos of the Five Kingdoms, the Zheng family was one of the families most likely to collect tool improvement technologies from various countries.

Of course, after entering the Tang Dynasty, he may not have the habit of fighting for power and profit.

But these gathered things must still be kept in the Zheng family's mansion, which has become the foundation of the Zheng family's growth.

Even with the help of these backgrounds, they used the opportunity of Wu Huanhua to stand out from the original family that was not considered outstanding in the Jin Dynasty, and became the top first-class family in the Tang Dynasty.

And I hope that through the demonstration of Taoism, I will release the accumulation of various technologies of the aristocratic family and truly transform society.

After all, the saying that the Tang Dynasty was the pinnacle of feudal society is really not just talk, it is really the pinnacle of the era in terms of technology and ideology.

Moreover, as a substitute for the later aristocratic family, when the aristocratic family withdrew from the stage of history and Huaxia, where the civil service group was the ruling class, it really weakened all the way without looking back, and it no longer had the majesty of the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties.

The most typical example is Zhu Yuanzhang, the macho man from heaven, who restored the orthodoxy of China, but after his death, the Ming Dynasty could not resist the civil servants' group digging into the walls of Ming Dynasty.

It is unbelievable that a sentence of competing for profits with the people and not paying taxes can actually make the country run out of money.

"Prince Yue, why don't I persuade Master Pan?" Du Chuke looked at Li Tai in silence for a long time, thought for a while, and said, "Let Master Pan understand the painstaking efforts of King Yue."

To be honest, for Du Chuke, he really didn't feel much about himself who was not a good man.

I didn't find the monarch I wanted at the beginning, so I naturally chose to cultivate immortals, but now that I have found the monarch, why do I cultivate immortals!

"No!" Li Tai shook his head and said, "Take this matter slowly, I need the sincere help of Taoist real people.

If he didn't really help me, then even if this matter forced him, it wouldn't make sense. What I need is only someone who endorses, and I need someone who is willing to give his life to testify!
So unless he figured it out by himself, it would be meaningless to force him! "

"Krypton's life proves the Tao?" Du Chuke heard Li Tai's words, although he didn't understand the word, but combined with the context of the whole sentence, Du Chuke always felt that this word seemed to be full of blood and blood!
"Pan Zhenren is from the inner alchemy school, do you know any real people from the outer alchemy school?"

Li Tai decisively skipped this term, after all, if he accidentally said what was in his heart, if he explained it carefully, his personality would collapse.

Of course, Li Tai wasn't talking nonsense. If he really took the path of proving the Tao, then the only path was kryptonite.

And it's not just a normal life, it has to be the life of a big boss, and every big boss who can be famous for a long time may just be a stepping stone for future generations in this path of proof.

This road is so ruthless and cruel.

"If it's Wai Dan, why don't you go to Sun Zhenren?" Hearing Li Tai's doubts, Du Chuke asked even more.

"Really Sun is from the Waidan sect?" Li Tai couldn't help blinking at Du Chuke when he heard Du Chuke's words.

"Sun Zhenzhen's main job is not a canonized Taoist priest. The so-called doctor is his deputy. As for the "Thousand Gold Prescriptions" he has been compiling, isn't it a classic of Waidan?" Du Chuke was even more puzzled by Li Tai's surprise at this moment. .

Well, as far as Li Tai is concerned, he really forgot that Sun Simiao is a fairly orthodox Taoist priest. Although he is also an old god, he is called an old god, but he really only uses Sun Simiao as a doctor.

Who knew that this profession was just a part-time job.

"Then I'll talk to the old god!" Li Tai ran towards the area where the medical department was located without hesitation when he heard this.

Generally speaking, Sun Simiao is either teaching in the medical area, or looking up classics in the library.

Watching Li Tai run away, Du Chuke was a little confused for a while, but Du Chuke was still more optimistic about Pan Shizheng's inner alchemy than the old god's outer alchemy.

Because after Ge Hong, the Waidan sect has been famous for a while, but such things as pills are too easy to eat, and Du Chuke doesn't want Li Tai to get involved.

"It seems that you still need to urge Pan Shizheng to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. You are not pursuing a Taoist priest who lives in seclusion, but you are pursuing to carry forward the Taoism of the Shangqing School. Isn't it just proving the Tao with krypton life? For the development of Taoism What kind of!"

Du Chuke originally thought that Krypton's life testimonial was a bit bloody, but now that Li Tai decided to seek help from the Waidan Sect, he became a little anxious.

For Du Chuke, the protagonist he finally selected could be sent by Wai Dan to seduce the soul.

There are several people in the past dynasties who can live forever after taking the elixir, and they all died young, especially when the lord is still young.

As for things like krypton life, is it a matter of carrying forward the orthodoxy?

It seems that as long as it comes from an aristocratic family, as long as it is for the fame of your own family, you don't care if you lose your life, isn't it life, take it!
Therefore, although the aristocratic family chooses between the country's position and their own patriarch, they must choose the family.

But the aristocratic family has to face, especially in the aristocratic circle, the family's reputation is more important than one's own life.

Compared with the guys in the civil service system who don't do anything, An An is hungry, the water is too cold, the scalp itches, etc., the bottom line is really much higher.

So Du Chuke said that he should go and talk to Pan Shizheng at Bingzhuye, regardless of what Li Tai's so-called proving the Tao is, anyway, he is not proving the Tao himself, but it is better to let the inner alchemy sect to prove the dao than to let the outer alchemy sect go. Well done.

Li Tai didn't know what Du Chuke was thinking, so after he came to see Sun Simiao, he told Sun Simiao his thoughts and theories of proving the Tao.

After thinking about it, Sun Simiao took the initiative to express that he was very interested in this matter, but after he needed results, he would write a letter to the Taoist disciples he knew to discuss this matter together.

The first thing is to prove that fire is just a process, not a thing, and take this incident as an opportunity to leverage the entire Taoism.

"Is it necessary to choose such a big target from the beginning?" Li Tai said weakly when he heard Sun Simiao's words,

"Will this be too big a step? This is going to subvert the theory of the Five Elements!"

"No breaking, no standing!" Sun Simiao was full of energy, his eyes were shining brightly. At this time, he didn't look like an old fairy, but more like the suppressed soul of an arsonist in his body.

Sun Simiao said: "Although the road of the Dan Ding School has reached glory since Xiaoxianweng, it has no road.

If it can be proved that fire is only a process, not a substance, it is tantamount to rebuilding the basic theory for the Dan Ding School.

This is the hope of the Dan Ding faction. "

Well... Li Tai said that he didn't understand, but Li Tai saw that Sun Simiao was so energetically devoted to this cause of proving the Tao, and he felt a little bit reluctant.

After all, who is Master Pan, and he doesn't know him, so his life will be his life.

But who is Sun Simiao?That is the top doctor in the entire Tang Dynasty, if he puts his life in, Li Tai will die of heartache!

But Li Tai wanted to persuade Sun Simiao, what a joke, Li Tai had no idea of ​​Sun Simiao's contribution in the history of gunpowder development.

Sun Simiao also discussed in detail the basic knowledge and techniques of alchemy in "The Method of Neifu Sulfur in the Alchemy".

"One tael of sulfur, one tael of saltpeter, and half tael of sand. The right three flavors are the end, and the sweet pot is turned into juice. Pour it into the tank and it will become a volt."

What do you think of when you see these?That's right, this is the gunpowder formula used to make "volt fire" in ancient my country.

His "Dan Jing Nei Fu Sulfur Method" is the earliest written record of the manufacture of gunpowder in our country.

So whether gunpowder was invented by Sun Simiao is another matter, but it is certain that Sun Simiao was definitely a master of gunpowder at that time.

At the same time, he pointed out that after Ge Hong, the Danding faction began to go to glory, and did not know how to restrain itself:
"In the world, there are occasional studies and practice, and it is not really good; or the body is born in the palace, and the heart is oppressed by fame and fortune, such a generation is not enough. People who retire today, don't expect immortality, but they are free from foreign things. , How many years have passed since then."

It can be seen that compared to other alchemists who pursue immortality and immortality, Sun Simiao's thinking is more medical and rational.

Therefore, Li Tai asked Sun Simiao to propose the idea of ​​preaching the Tao, and Sun Simiao immediately said, isn't it just krypton life, just krypton!

The most important thing for me is to bring the crooked Dan Ding faction back to the right path!
