Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 291 You are the successor of my Thick Black Sect!
"The so-called 'thick' is nothing more than being thick-skinned, and not wavering in the face of criticism and attacks from the outside world. It is not shamelessness, but a person's strong psychological endurance in the world of fame and fortune, as well as self-affirmation."

"The so-called 'black' is nothing more than a black heart. In the hodgepodge of fame and fortune, one must take necessary measures to protect his own interests, even using extraordinary means."

Inside the courtyard, Li Zongwu talked about the theory of thick black school with a beaming smile on his face.

Li Zongwu originally thought that he could fool the child Zhang Pingan with his eloquent tongue.

That's a piece of cake.

Capture Zhang Pingan, and then take down Bao Bingwen.

At that time, let Bao Bingwen and Zhang Pingan join the Thick Black School and carry forward the Thick Black School!
Live forever!

Unexpectedly, Zhang Pingan replied calmly: "My teacher said this, human nature is neither evil nor good, it is nothing more than doing things for one's own benefit, and this benefit can be divided into self, small self, and big self."

Not only was he not "bewitched" by Li Zongwu's words, but Li Zongwu was almost shocked and dropped his jaw. Is this something a child can say?
How did Bao Bingwen teach his apprentices?
"This, this." Li Zongwu stuttered, even unable to speak. "Who taught you?"

Zhang Pingan replied calmly, "Of course it's my master. The school doesn't teach these things."

"Sigh~"

Li Zongwu took a deep breath and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Because he was unable to refute it, this explanation can be said to be superior to the theory of human nature being evil in the art of thick black.

It explains human nature from a more macro perspective.

Li Zongwu originally wanted to strike first, but who would have thought that before he even met Bao Guowei, he was defeated by his apprentice.

He grabbed Zhang Ping'an's shoulders and asked anxiously.

"What else did your master teach you?"

Zhang Ping'an tilted his head, as if thinking about something, and then answered calmly.

"Master said that morality, ethics, and honor should not be a constraint on a man's actions. These things are like sharp weapons. As long as the knight holding the sharp weapon is correct, it doesn't matter whether the sharp weapon is right or wrong."

"Okay! Okay!" Li Zongwu showed an as if nothing had happened.

It seems that my visit was right.

Thinking of Zhang Ping'an's conversation, he couldn't help but touch Zhang Ping'an's head lovingly.

Although he was only ten years old, he was already different from ordinary people in just a few words.

From now on, won’t there be another Bao Guowei?

Afterwards, Li Zongwu's beard tilted and he was very angry.

Why is it that his Bao family can produce so many geniuses?

Li Zongwu thought of the three children in his family, two boys and one girl, who were not very promising in comparison. They were all stupid.

Why?

Could it be that the feng shui of Bao Guowei’s ancestral grave is better?
Li Zongwu's mind was filled with random thoughts.

Maybe we can ask Bao Guowei where his ancestors are buried, and move them there to keep them company?

"A gentleman does not speak of strange things." He reminded himself in a low voice, but then he heard Zhang Pingan say.

"Sir, do you want to take me in as your disciple? Do you want me to join the Thick Black School? Then you are wrong. I have already become a disciple of my master Bao Bingwen. Our philosophies are different. We never advocate thick skin and black heart."

Even at such a young age, he is already able to see into people's hearts.

But Li Zongwu touched Zhang Ping'an's head and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

He didn't feel offended, he just felt that Zhang Pingan was spiritual and almost every word he said touched his heart.

"No conflict! There has never been a conflict! I think your theory is a supplement to the Thick Black Theory. Besides, the world doesn't need everyone to be thick-skinned and black-hearted. As long as everyone recognizes that they are thick-skinned and black-hearted, wouldn't there be fewer treacherous people in this world?"

Zhang Ping'an was thinking and wanted to say something when he heard a voice.

"It's safe. Go back to the study and do your homework. I'll talk to Mr. Li Zongwu."

The two men turned their eyes to the person who came, it could be Bao Guowei or someone else.

"Are you Bao Bingwen?"

Li Zongwu was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a young man with extraordinary bearing.

When Zhang Ping'an returned to the study, the two found a pavilion and sat down.

Bao Guowei poured a cup of Longjing tea for the other party, looked at the unkempt old man, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Li Zongwu is really elegant. When he came to the student's home, he actually talked about principles with the child."

This is a mockery of Li Zongwu, poaching people in broad daylight.

"It would be even better if it was wine."

Li Zongwu took a sip of Longjing tea, and looked very disappointed. Facing Bao Guowei's ridicule, he did not blush or feel nervous, but instead said.

"I came all the way here just to meet Bao Bingwen, but I didn't expect to see a child in the yard. He is quite intelligent. I thought I would say a few words to him and join my thick black school. It would be a good thing."

Li Zongwu's face was red, it seemed that he had drunk some wine when he came here, and he spoke with a Sichuan and Chongqing accent, which looked very funny.

Bao Guowei looked at the other person and found him somewhat interesting.

Li Zongwu was addicted to alcohol and died of a stroke in his later years.

In this era, his reputation is not very good.

Because of the article "The Art of Thick Black", he has received countless criticisms and blame.

Some people say that he has evil intentions, corrupts social morals, and promotes evil.

Some people say that he is just trying to attract attention and use this alternative point of view to show that he is different from others.

But some people admire him.

For example, Mr. Lin Yutang once commented: "If you have read ancient and modern books from China and abroad but have not read Li Zongwu, it is a real regret in life."

In later generations, Li Zongwu was called a genius and eccentric who influenced China in the 20th century, an outstanding thinker in modern history, and a master of humorous and satirical literature, who influenced nearly a generation.

Many people regard his thick black theory as a guiding principle.

He talks about something called Thick Black Theory, advocating that people have thick skin and a black heart.

In fact, I am a law-abiding person who is strict with myself.

While advocating for thick-skinnedness, he himself did not practice any of it.

In Bao Guowei's view, his crazy state is just a disguise.

The last turmoil had nothing to do with Li Zongwu, but he still wrote articles about it and helped Huang Bohui run around for the "Times".

This is a kind and wonderful person who uses Sichuan and Chongqing accents and seemingly absurd words to tell people profound truths.

Bao Guowei heard that the other party wanted to take him in, so he smiled and asked back.

"Sir, have you forgotten that Guo Wei has already become a disciple of Mr. Tai Yan?"

Li Zongwu sat up straight and bowed as he spoke.

"I admire Mr. Taiyan. My Thick Black School is different from other schools. We don't follow the first come first served rule, nor do we have the traditional master-disciple concept. Strength is respected. Whoever is the strongest is the master and the head of the school."

Bao Guowei raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"In other words, if I am better than you, I can become the headmaster, and you will have to take me as your master?"

"Why not?"

Li Zongwu was very frank. Before coming here, he regarded Bao Guowei as the successor of the art of thick black.

He continued.

"To be honest, I came here not only to see Bao Bingwen's style, but also to let you take over my Thick Black School."

"Take over the Thick Black School?"

Bao Guowei originally thought that the other party was here to recruit a disciple, but he didn't expect that he wanted him to join some school of thick black studies?

In his eyes, there is no such thing as the Thick Black School.

In fact, the thick black theory understood by the academic community is not what ordinary people see.

Does Li Zongwu really advocate that people should be thick-skinned and black-hearted?

On the contrary, many people believe that the birth of Thick Black Theory is a criticism of Confucianism and a satire by Li Zongwu on the so-called "propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame" of Confucianism.

This can be seen from the fact that his name was changed from Zongru to Zongwu.

So, what exactly did he let himself inherit?
Thinking of this, Bao Guowei frowned.

"Can I ask why you chose me?"
