Dao Fruit

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

The seven people looked surprised, while Zhen Zhizuo and Zhang Huazhang were also moved in their hearts.

Around him, the thoughts were changing. The thoughts that had been suppressed by Qiu Yan dispersed slightly, leaving some gaps, and the dissipated Tian Chong Po regrouped.

"You haven't listened to Sir's teachings, how can you say that I don't understand them clearly?" Secretary He frowned and took two steps forward, "Eating and drinking are the only things. Sir's qualitative theory allows us to transcend ourselves and eat through the intestines." The aggregates are not born, and the mind is born without abiding. Although it is in contact with all things, it is not attached..."

At first, his mood fluctuated slightly, as if he was shocked by Qiu Yan's words about human desire and humanity, but he quickly calmed down and collected his thoughts.

"A gentleman follows the laws of nature, so he will advance to the next level; a villain will sacrifice his own life for others, so he will always be filthy. You are just confusing the public. What you are essentially saying is the word 'profit' in a different way. There is no shortage of flies and dogs in the world." People, don't think that you can fool me by changing your tricks. You have a philistine spirit in you. How can knowledge be confused with wealth? What we want to do is to tell the world the truth and sublimate their thinking so that they can stay away from filth. , noble intentions!”

He said these words with righteousness, and even many people in the contemplation nodded secretly, feeling that it was indeed the case. After reading, they all felt that their moods were sublimated, and they were different from ordinary people in the market.

Qiu Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "You criticize others for talking about military affairs on paper, but you don't know that you are the one who talks about military affairs on paper. You think you understand the laws of nature and want to educate others, but you are divorced from reality. I once heard that a beggar talked about officials and said that when they were officials, they would eat less every day. Ten pieces of cake, it can be seen that I have never been exposed to it, and I am only relying on my imagination. After all, I am limited by what I know. Mr. He, you are of noble birth, have you ever seen farmers busy in the fields? Could it be that after you sublimate, you can become like you? Are you able to live in peace and prosperity, or can you make all people happy just by preaching?”

Secretary He smiled calmly. He said: "The fine clothes and fine food are just the appearance. The real gain is inner peace, a clear mind and a clear mind!" As he spoke, he revealed an artistic conception of looking up at a high mountain, which made Cai Ying feel trance-like.

Qiu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" Secretary He asked with a frown, the unhappiness in his heart getting stronger.

"I have heard that there are people who are indifferent to all aspects of their body and their five grains. Only after listening to your words today did I know it was true," Qiu Yan said. He actually recited half a poem, "People at that time did not realize the hardships of farmers, and would say that the crops in the fields grow by themselves. If no one works, how can the crops in the fields grow by themselves? You say that profit-seeking is filthy. If farmers do not cultivate the land, they will not grow." How can I live this life just to earn money to support my family?”

He Shuchang's eyelids moved slightly, realizing that he had fallen into a trap, and was about to speak, but how could Qiu Yan give him this chance——

"The family is as prosperous as Mr. He. Even if they are not involved in production, their children will enjoy the full glory of discussing mysteries and Taoism every day. Moreover, when the children grow up, they can continue to talk about mysteries and Taoism. But if a farmer only pursues natural principles and does not engage in production, , If you don't ask for a wife, you won't be able to have a future. If no one grows food, what will you and I have to eat? If we are starving to death, what kind of justice can we ask for?"

Speaking of this, even Zhang Huazhang couldn't help but change his face slightly. He didn't expect that Qiu Yan's simple question of "do you want to eat or not?" could actually derive such a truth, which vaguely grasped Secretary He's fate. .

Although Secretary He is knowledgeable and talented, he has not had much contact with the fields. His experience is limited to the circle of scholar-bureaucrats. This is his shortcoming. The academy will definitely make up for this in the future, but now he is caught by Qiu Yan. It should be noted that Qiu Yan has just graduated from the civil society. Came here for study tour.

Secretary He also noticed the problem and knew that he could not let Qiu Yan play his part, so he pretended to ask for advice humbly and asked: "Since Brother Qiu is so insightful about ordinary trivial matters, he must also have studied the theories and opinions of these two gentlemen. "Would you like to share your opinion?" He wanted to bring the topic back to pure academics, return to what he was good at, and take the initiative.

"That's exactly what I want to say." Qiu Yan agreed, which made Secretary He's heart tremble, with a faint sense of ominousness.

"I said you didn't understand clearly, and that's why," Qiu Yan said as he walked over and took out an apple from the fruit basket, "Just like this apple, when you are hungry, eating one is enough to Satisfying hunger is a natural thing, isn’t it a natural principle?”

"Natural things coincide with the laws of nature. This statement is true. This is the way to study things. Isn't it consistent with the theory of knowing one's mind and one's nature?" Secretary He shook his head and sighed, still trying to guide the topic.

Qiu Yan bent down and took out another apple from the basket: "Eating one apple can make you full, but taking up two apples, this is human desire."

After saying this, he raised his hand and threw one of them towards Secretary He. The latter subconsciously caught it and looked up at Qiu Yan with a look of confusion on his face.

Cai Ying showed anger, thinking that Qiu Yan wanted to attack Secretary He, so she immediately stood up and was about to scold him.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Eating one will make you full. This is the law of nature, but having two for life is human desire. Marry one wife and enjoy the fish and water, have a family relationship, and continue the offspring. This is It is the law of nature, and relying on talent, power, and strength to possess more and embrace others is human desire. "

The hidden meaning in his words made Cai Ying freeze on the spot, too stunned to speak.

When the others heard these words, they also fell into deep thought. Even Zhang Huazhang, who had despised Qiu Yan, looked thoughtful.

Secretary He's expression suddenly changed, and he secretly exclaimed that something was not good.

Qiu Yan retracted his gaze, raised the apple in his hand, pointed at the apple in He Shuchang's hand, and continued: "One fruit can fill your stomach, I have two fruits, and you have nothing. Now I will give you one, so both of us can live. Isn't this the "benevolence" advocated by Mr. Dachen? The world and all things are one, and nothing is not oneself."

This made He Shuchang's expression stagnate, and his smile froze on his face.

Zhang Huazhang stood up from the chair with a "swoosh", and Zhen Zhizuo and the leader of the seven people all changed their expressions.

Qiu Yan continued to speak——

"Explore the principles of heaven, figure out how to distribute apples, spread benevolence, and benefit all people, instead of just seeking peace for yourself. Mr. He is born extraordinary, gifted, and has a family background that others cannot match. You have already taken so many things. Since you are exploring the principles of heaven, you should find a way to let others prosper with you, but now you think highly of yourself and just want to be good to yourself. Are you worthy of everything you have? Your idea of ​​peace of mind is human desire! Do you dare to exterminate it?"

He Shuchang took a few steps back. His face was pale, and Wensi around him seemed to be leaving.

As soon as these words came out, the people who were watching and discussing were also trembling in their hearts.

Lin Jue showed a look of surprise, Chen Jing put away his laughing expression, looked at Qiu Yan with a solemn expression, and the people who were watching and discussing all understood.

Qiu Yan's words were not complicated. Unlike He Shuchang, he held learning and knowledge high and regarded them as elegant things. Instead, he did the opposite, using things and events that are visible at hand as examples, which are closely related to ordinary people, and told the story in a few words, so that people could understand the logic in his words.

What surprised everyone even more was that Qiu Yan, an outsider, almost always expressed his views on the theories of the two Mr. Chen. It was as if he had been immersed in them for a long time.

After listening to this speech, not only did everyone remember the teachings of the two gentlemen, but a sentence also emerged in their hearts-

"The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency. The way of man is to reduce the deficiency to serve the surplus."

This is a sentence in "Five Thousand Words", which is a description of "Tao".

The Li Sect advocates reason, but the heavenly reason it seeks is actually another way of saying "Tao". Qiu Yan's words have a hint of yin and yang balance, which aroused everyone's thoughts.

People's hearts change. It also drives the literary thoughts of the academy.

Qiu Yan suddenly felt that the thoughts around him became lively, and his own perception broke through the thoughts and combined with the plaque outside. The seventh soul in his body was completely condensed and rushed up!

Boom!

In an instant, the sensory world had a drastic change. Qiu Yan's perception of the external spiritual energy reached a point that was almost outrageous!

It seemed that with a thought, he could extract the spiritual energy from the outside world and use it for himself.

Of course, Qiu Yan knew that this gratitude was just an illusion. With a thought, he might be able to absorb the spiritual energy into the body, but it was difficult to use it directly without refining. It should be noted that there are impurities in the spiritual energy. Without tempering, condensation, and purification, the impurities will settle into the flesh and blood, causing the physical condition to slowly decline.

The life-path cultivators worked hard to temper their bodies and expel impurities, so how could they not pay attention to details?

After a breath, the feeling of coolness entered from the sky and spread all over the body in an instant. Qiu Yan felt that every acupoint on his body was cool, as if there were gods sitting inside.

He had read Tang Lai's memory and knew that the current process was similar to washing the marrow and removing the hair. However, the refining of the previous few souls had already made the body's flesh and blood constantly pure, so this time not many impurities were discharged, but the vitality was replenished, which greatly increased the life span.

The formation of Tianchong Soul gave the cultivator's flesh and blood a special communication channel with the outside world. Different exercises will bring different effects. Qiu Yan was able to refine it thanks to his understanding of "heavenly principles" and "benevolence", which made his Tianchong Soul inevitably undergo a transformation at the moment of formation-

The will of martial arts was brewing in his heart, and the fist intention broke out!

This fist intention, combined with the meaning of heavenly principles and Qiu Yan's perception, truly turned into a word "action", grasping the present.

On the other side, Qiu Yan's soul was also affected, condensed and changed, revealing a word "knowledge", studious and thoughtful!

As soon as the two words came out, Qiu Yan suddenly realized that the moment he was looking for had arrived!

"The Dao Heart Fist has been brewing for a long time. Because of the imbalance between life and death, it has to be delayed. Now it's time to condense it! Clear the obstacles to the promotion to the third realm of the cultivator!"

The thought turned, and the two words collided in the heart!

Boom!

The invisible momentum broke out of the body, directly passed through the floor, and rose to the sky!

Everyone was still chewing on Qiu Yan's words, but suddenly their minds were shaken! The mind was swaying! Noticing Qiu Yan's momentum, they were horrified!

The head of the book He trembled his lips, and his eyes were burning.

And Cai Ying's face changed color, and she whispered-

"Achieve the literary mind?"

In the depths of the academy, in a simple house, the vigorous old man who was reciting scriptures paused, put down the scroll, stood up and looked out the window, just in time to see the invisible momentum rising to the sky in the Tianli Pavilion!

"What a literary mind! There is a tendency to become a school of its own! I wonder who started it." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster!
