I chase corpses in Gaowu world

Chapter 156 The battle over the concept of Shen Yun!Fang Ze's choice
Master Zhaoyi sighed after hearing this question.

"Wen Yuanbo wants to eliminate all the gods in the world, and it will take more than a day or two."

"It's a long story. Mr. Yuan, are you patient?"

"But it doesn't matter." Fang Ze said.

He really wanted to understand why Wen Yuanbo was so stubborn about this matter?
Obviously Wen Yuanbo is also a master of Shenyun, why would he do something that is not good for him?

Master Zhaoyi said: "If I really want to answer your question, Mr. Yuan, I have to go back many years ago, almost a century ago."

"Wen Yuanbo comes from a poor family and does not have any special connections. He was able to get the opportunity to rise because he was appreciated by noble people... but this appreciation was earned by himself."

"One year ago, the world was in a different situation. At that time, Xiao Ruoli, the national teacher of Longkang, once proposed a public case of the famous "Wang Li Shuangcun Debate" to the scholars of the world, which aroused heated discussions in the world. "

"And Wen Yuanbo became Xiao Ruoli's disciple precisely because he answered this 'Two Villages Debate'."

Fang Ze listened carefully.

He knew the meaning of "Shen Gongan Shen Hua Tou".

The so-called participation in public cases is a way to present a case so that everyone can express their opinions, understand their own opinions, and open up their wisdom.

Huatou is the clue of a word, and Shenhuatou is a practice method in Zen Buddhism. It focuses on a sentence that you always ask in your heart. For example, you often ask, "Who is participating in Zen?" '.

Such words are naturally not a simple answer: "It is Zhang San and Li Si who practice Zen", but have a deeper meaning.

Xiao Ruoli, the national teacher of the previous generation, proposed that this 'Two Villages Debate' should essentially be a topic from which some brain power, opinions and some meaningful conclusions can be drawn.

Fang Ze asked: "What is the 'Wang Li Shuangcun Debate?'"

Master Zhao Yi said: "It's also very simple. Xiao Ruoli proposed two imaginary villages, one called Wang Village and the other called Li Village. In Wang Village, all the people living in Wang Village are surnamed Wang and are connected by blood. The same is true for Li Village. All of them have the surname Li, and they are all connected by blood."

"Now, both Wang Village and Li Village are short of water, and there is only one water source... There must be not enough water, either for Wang Village or for Li Village."

"The two villages are facing the problem of water shortage, and it cannot be solved through external force or compromise. The water will not increase, and it cannot be distributed equally to Wang and Li villages. In every village, people will definitely die of thirst, or people will starve to death due to lack of water for their crops.”

"Wang and Li Village will never accept that any villager in their own village dies due to lack of water."

"The question raised by Xiao Ruoli's 'Two Villages Debate' is this - what do you think of Wang Village and Li Village? What method do you think should be used to judge whether water should be allocated to Wang Village or Li Village? "

Fang Ze felt a little interested.

This question is both speculative and very practical.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in agrarian societies, and it can even be said to be a reality everywhere.

"This question is indeed worth thinking about. There seem to be many traps in it."

Fang Ze answered.

Master Zhao Yi said: "Yes, so after Xiao Ruoli raised the debate about the two villages, he still didn't get a satisfactory answer for ten years."

"The answer is nothing more than to answer this question from the perspective of character, morality, or the actual amount of taxation. But after ten years, there are only a few ideas back and forth, and Xiao Ruoli cannot be satisfied."

"However, this problem was solved by Wen Yuanbo, who was 17 years old at the time."

"Oh, what solution did he make?" Fang Ze asked.

He became curious because this 'Two Villages Debate' was not so much a specific solution as it was about looking at the quality of a person's thinking.

Different types of people will give different answers.

Since Wen Yuanbo could answer this question and also made a solution that satisfied the previous generation of national masters, his thinking must be different from that of ordinary people.

At the same time, the age of seventeen or eighteen is the most important period for a person's character and thinking to mature. The thoughts of this period will affect a person's life.

Fang Ze was also curious why Wen Yuanbo was so obsessed with wanting to destroy the world's gods.

The answer may be found in Wen Yuanbo's answer to the "Two Villages Debate" at that time.

Zhao Shiyi said: "Wen Yuanbo's answer is that the 'Two Villages Debate' seems to mention the issue of water shortage, but in fact it has nothing to do with water. In essence, it is an issue of the strictness of the imperial authority."

"He thinks so?" Fang Ze was a little surprised.

"How did we get in touch?" Fang Ze asked.

Master Zhaoyi smiled bitterly and said: "I have to say that Wen Yuanbo's thinking is indeed different from that of ordinary people... This is how he views the 'Defense of Two Villages'."

"Wen Yuanbo believes that there is no need to consider the existence of Wang and Li villages at all. We only need to consider one issue. If these two villages have to fight for water, this matter needs to be adjudicated. Should it be given to Wang Cun or Li Cun?"

"Who is the judge?"

"It's the mayor."

"If the township head makes a ruling and some people are dissatisfied, then if you continue to go up, you have to find the county magistrate. If the county magistrate makes the ruling, and there is still a village that is dissatisfied, you have to find the county warden... In this way, as long as you go up level by level, you will eventually be able to find the county magistrate. Find someone who has the final say.”

“This person will make the final decision.”

"As for whether this final decision should be given to Wang Village or Li Village, it is not important at all to be correct. What is important is that the final decider has supreme authority. Water is given to whomever it says, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. , no reason."

"No questions about right or wrong, no reason?" Fang Ze raised his eyebrows.

"That's what Wen Yuanbo thinks, and he also has his reasons." Master Zhaoyi said.

"Wen Yuanbo's principle is that there are many things in the world that cannot be distinguished from right to wrong. Do you think Wang Cun is wrong, or Li Cun is wrong? But there must be a ruling to arbitrarily determine the world and give a final judgment."

"Without this person who arbitrarily decides the world, the affairs of the world will be in chaos... Wangcun and Licun, if they get the verdict, one village may die of thirst, but if there is no verdict, then the two villages are most likely to fight for water. No one can survive the fight."

"This is still a matter between two villages. If it were left to the world, without supreme power, the world would be in chaos."

"This is Wen Yuanbo's thinking. What he cares about is the need for a supreme authority to rule the world, not whether the water should be given to Wang Village or Li Village."

"And according to etiquette, this person is the emperor."

Fang Ze digested it for a moment.

Although it still sounds a bit strange and different from the way most people think, it cannot be said to be unreasonable.

I have to say that Wen Yuanbo's solution is much better than just focusing on giving water to people in Wang Village or Li Village.

Moreover, Fang Ze also began to understand a little bit why Wen Yuanbo wanted to destroy the world's gods.

He said: "I roughly understand... Wen Yuanbo believes that the existence of Shenyun masters threatens the emperor's power."

"It's still a matter of water disputes between Wang Village and Li Village. The emperor decided that water should be given to Wang Village. Although it may not be fair, there is a conclusion and the matter is settled."

"But now a master of Shen Yun came out and said that the water should be given to Li Cun, and if he didn't give it, he would kill the emperor. The emperor dared not disobey... This final power of discretion suddenly fell from the hands of the emperor to the hands of the master of Shen Yun. ”

"Wen Yuanbo can't bear this reality," Fang Ze said.

"That's exactly the truth." Master Zhaoyi nodded.

He shook his head and sighed, saying: "Wen Yuanbo was appreciated because he solved the 'Two Villages Debate'. The then Imperial Master Xiao Ruoli made an exception and accepted a disciple. Wen Yuanbo rose from a humble family to the sky."

"This 'supreme power belongs to the imperial power' has also become his lifelong wish."

"In Wen Yuanbo's philosophy, the imperial power in the world should be the supreme power, and the existence of masters of the gods threatens this supreme power, so it should not exist in his ideal picture of the world."

"So Wen Yuanbo spared no effort and always wanted to get rid of the world's gods..."

Fang Ze also understood why Wen Yuanbo was so persistent. "This is Wen Yuanbo's philosophy that he has been implementing since he was seventeen or eighteen years old, maybe even earlier. He has been doing it for a decade now."

"You can't say he's unreasonable."

"At this point, it's a pure battle of ideas."

Fang Ze said.

Master Zhaoyi nodded.

"I can understand Wen Yuanbo's thoughts, but I also have my own persistence."

"Taiyi Dao and martial arts are integrated. Without any aspect, it is not a complete inheritance. Taiyi Dao has been passed down to my generation for 120 and [-] generations. I can't let thousands of years of inheritance be ruined in my hands, right? "

"I am Shen Yun, and my future disciples must also achieve Shen Yun."

"So, I definitely don't agree with Wen Yuanbo's plan to destroy the world's gods." Zhaoshi Yi said.

After a pause, Master Zhaoyi said: "We can turn this topic back to you, Mr. Yuan, I explained Wen Yuanbo's philosophy to you, you should know it."

"As long as you are also Shen Yun, you will definitely be regarded as an opponent by Wen Yuanbo. He is not doing anything now because it is not yet the time. When the time comes, he will definitely attack you."

"So I advise you not to get too close to Wen Yuanbo."

Fang Ze listened and was noncommittal.

He actually thought of more.

Fang Ze actually understood Wen Yuanbo somewhat.

Because he feels the same way.

"Isn't the debate between the two villages explained by Wen Yuanbo the current situation in the Tianzhou world?"

Isn't it.

The status quo in the Tianzhou Realm is that there is no absolute supreme power.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty had an imperial court, the royal Zhao family, including the Emperor Zhou, did not have absolute authority.

The power of the world is divided.

The Great Zhou court wanted to take back its power, but could it be taken back?

The sects are in charge of their own affairs, and the martial arts family and the imperial court are deeply bound. You have me, and I have you.

If you make a slight move and want to take back power, you will immediately encounter various constraints.

I really want to launch a thunderous strike and forcefully take over power, but there are still experts in the world, and the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty does not dare to act rashly.

Fang Ze suddenly felt that the Shenyun Jianghu in Longkang Realm was almost a microcosm of the current situation in Tianzhou Realm.

Of course, even though the Tianzhou world is like this, it is not completely chaotic and still maintains a dynamic balance.

Looking at the evolution of things in Long Kang is of great significance for understanding the world of Tianzhoujie.

Fang Ze discovered that the Shen Yun masters who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts in the Longkang world were considering issues and fighting for interests that were no longer simple ordinary interests.

It’s not that there are no interests, but on top of interests, there is also a dispute over ideas.

Gu Zan believes that Wu Boman wants to take over the world, Xie Yan and Fan Qianhong want the Demon Sect to become the world's orthodoxy, Wen Yuanbo wants the imperial power to be supreme, and Zhao Shiyi wants to preserve the inheritance of Taiyi Dao.

It's actually easy to understand.

Although according to Fang Ze's knowledge, the masters of Shenyun in Longkang Realm have not yet reached the realm of gods in absolute strength, in this world, they are already the group of people who stand at the top of this world.

If we insist on converting, the Shenyun master in Longkang Realm is like the Dharma Master in Tianzhou Realm.

At this level, they want luxury enjoyment to be available at any time, but for people at this level, ordinary enjoyment no longer has much appeal.

Whether it is Gu Zan, Wen Yuanbo, or Xie Yan, all they want is to implement their own will and ideas.

Fang Ze suddenly realized something.

From Longkang, he seemed to see the familiar rivers and lakes of the Tianzhou world again. For a while, the behavior of the great masters of the heaven and human realm and the masters of the Dharma realm that he had not understood before could now be understood.

"The foundation is still interests, but on top of that there are ideas and road disputes based on interests." Fang Ze thought.

He felt that through his experience in the Longkang world, when he looked back at the world of Tianzhou world, the perspective, level, or pattern, had all improved a bit.

Fang Ze took a deep breath, calmed down his thoughts, and brought him back to the present moment.

He said: "I understand what you mean, Master Zhaotian."

"But, I still want to kill Xie Yan."

Master Zhaoyi could not help but frown.

"Why are Mr. Yuan so persistent? Killing Xie Yan may not be a good thing for you."

"I'll play it out."

"I believe Mr. Yuan has the strength to kill Xie Yan, but once Xie Yan dies, Fan Qianhong will be unable to stand alone and will not be able to threaten the emperor. Wen Yuanbo will be completely free and will no longer have to defend the capital."

"At that time, Wen Yuanbo will definitely target Lao Taoist me."

"Fan Qianhong's whereabouts are erratic, and Mr. Yuan is too strong. Master Jueyuan is a truly Taoist master who does not participate in worldly disputes. I only have a bunch of disciples and grandsons of the old Taoist, and they cannot run away with Lingkong Mountain. Wen Yuanbo will definitely find me. "

When Master Zhaoyi said this, he couldn't help but look serious.

He continued:
"If I die or my martial arts is abolished, Wen Yuanbo will have more space. He has two choices for the next step. Either he can concentrate on finding Fan Qianhong first, or he will deal with you directly, Mr. Yuan."

"He will choose the one that is more likely to succeed. It's just a matter of order, but sooner or later he will point the finger at you."

"Finally, Wen Yuanbo gets rid of Fan Qianhong and you. Master Jue Yuan is a figure from our previous generation. He has only a few years left in his life. When Jue Yuan passes away, Wen Yuan Bo will be the only one left in the world."

"At that time, if Wen Yuanbo had achieved success and retired and lived in seclusion, there would be no more gods in the world - he would have won this road battle."

"Mr. Yuan, are you willing?"

Fang Ze nodded slightly.

At this time, he already knew why Zhaoshiyi was going to end.

What Li Fangweng said before was actually correct. Zhaoshiyi hopes that the world will maintain a balanced situation, not necessarily for interests first, but probably for safety reasons.

Now Zhaoshiyi's words have made the matter clear.

His purpose is to protect himself wisely.

"Master Zhaotian, your analysis is correct, but there is only one point."

"Master Zhao Tian, ​​your analysis did not fully consider my position."

"I have another deduction and choice. Do you want to hear it?" Fang Ze asked.
