Taiping Inn

Although Li Xuan had made a big turn, he understood his meaning very clearly.

I can't kill all the people, whether it's peace talks or bargaining, there is one premise that cannot be violated, that is, the unification of Taoism. If I agree with this premise, then I can continue to negotiate. If I don't agree with this premise, then there is no need to negotiate. It's right.

In fact, since Li Xuan has been reverent since he came out of the world, he has always been the idea that he would not kill people without killing them. So Tan Taiyun said that no matter how he respects Taoist ancestors, he was still influenced by the Confucian school in his bones. Tan Taiyun was not wrong, and this influence has been explained thoroughly by the ancestors of the Confucian school. The Sage said: "Yu thought that there were drowning in the world, but he drowned; Ji thought that there were hungry in the world, but he was hungry." In plain words, in ancient times, King Yu managed floods and thought that there were drowning people in the world, It's like drowning yourself. Ji is the God of Grain. When he thinks that there are hungry people in the world, it is like he is starving. Therefore, we must respect our elders and the elderly of others, and we must be young and the young of others.

Because of this, when Yuxu was fighting swords, Li Xuan once said that he was not against Confucianism, nor was he a sage of Confucianism, nor was he the principles of Confucianism, but the current Confucianism people. Later generations recited the scriptures incorrectly and spoke benevolence, righteousness and morality, but had different knowledge and practice. Li Xuan opposed these people.

The concept of the Earth Master is good and the direction is correct, but Li Xuan still cannot agree with it all, and it is also because of this.

For the earth master, 10,000 deaths are a number, and 100,000, millions of people are also a number. As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter.

In the eyes of the local master, what are the people? There is no difference between chess pieces on the chess board. People are not living lives, but dead objects that can be tricked by others. When playing chess, they will certainly feel heartbroken, but it is not the chess pieces themselves, not because of this. A chess piece is a living life, and is nurtured to adulthood, children, husband and wife, and parents. It is because the increase or decrease of chess pieces affects the outcome of the chess game, and it is fundamentally because of the outcome of the chess game.

The earth master must take care of the lives of the people, but its essence is not because the people have spirits, nor is it because they are hungry and drowning, and they are drowning, but because their achievements are inseparable from the people for thousands of years, and they must take the people as the cornerstone.

The reason why the Earth Master has created such a mentality is that after the Earth Master was born, he was a nobleman in heaven and was almost from the people at the bottom. It is not an exaggeration to say that the difference between immortals and mortals is the difference. The Earth Master may not understand the essence of the truth, but he still regards the people as chess pieces, which means that his heart is not right.

In fact, it is not only the same as the Earth Master, but also the same is true for Song Zheng, Shangguan Guan, and even Li Daoxu, Xie Zhi and others. In their eyes, only a small group of people are living people, and the others are all ants.

They cannot think about problems from the perspective of the people, or do not regard the people as human beings, or regard themselves as immortals who are transcendent from mortals. It is impossible to solve the difficulties of the people's livelihood from their own perspectives. .

They regard the world as chess game and the people as chess pieces, so there is a saying of "big situation". Those who say "the overall situation is the most important thing" should ask them what the overall situation is? They must not put it into words, because the overall situation is the outcome of the chess game.

Before, Li Xuan didn't understand this truth, so he could avenge his grudges. It doesn't matter whether the world is divided and union or life is in trouble. What are my worries? Later, he figured out this truth and he was extremely happy.

Li Xuandu recognized some of the concepts of the Earth Master. The world should develop and cannot be self-confidenced. But he cannot recognize some of the concepts of the Earth Master, and regards living people as pawns and abandons them at will.

Unfortunately, there are still very few people who can recognize Li Xuandu, and there are even some people who are obviously a member of the people, but they think everything from the perspective of the best. It is hopeless. Of course, in the eyes of many masters, Li Xuandu is a traitor, but no one dares to say such words. This is the contribution of the sages of all generations. The ancestors spread all kinds of truths throughout the world, from kings to common people, and everyone recognized them. Li Xuan acted on these principles. Even if he was a Confucian scholar who was enemies of Li Xuan, he could not openly say that Li Xuan was wrong, and he even had to agree verbally. Some of them are dirty, but they must not be put into words, otherwise they will be pointed out by everyone. This is also the origin of the so-called "unwritten rules".

Li Xuan had eaten the buns he picked up, and the other four people picked up one bun, leaving only one bun.

After a moment of silence, Zuo Yuhan said first: "The unity of Taoist sects is the will of heaven. Opposing the unity of Taoist sects is against the will of heaven, even if a person who lives forever cannot escape death. Song Zheng's fate can be seen. Zuo and All the Faxiang School agree with the unity of Taoism."

Li Xuan turned his gaze to Wuzhen, "Master Wuzhen, have you heard what Zuo Sect Master said?"

Wu Zhen slowly raised his head, very heavy, and said slowly: "The unity of Taoism is a private matter of Taoism, the Confucianism has no right to interfere, and the Buddhist Buddhism has no right to interfere. The poor monk is a Buddhist disciple, so he can't say much."

Li Xuan looked at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to agree with Wuzhen's words, but under the roof, he had to bow his head and could only hesitate: "Buddhist and Taoist sect... This matter is indeed not easy to deal with."

Li Xuandu said: "What the two masters said is very true, but I remembered the ancient Witch Cult. The Witch Cult once flourished, and there were eleven great witches. Except for Wuyang, the other ten people were called Lingshan Ten. Witch. Among the Ten Witches of Lingshan, there are five people led by Wu Peng and Wu Yang, called the Six Witches of Kaiming. Wu Peng and other five people are both the Ten Witches of Lingshan, and the Six Witches of Kaiming. So I have an idea."

Zuo Yuhan had already understood Li Xuandu's voice-over. In order to show his loyalty, he immediately interrogated: "As the saying goes, Buddha is the Tao. The ancestor of the Taishang Taoism came out of Guanshi after he preached in Zhongnan Mountain. The Taoism of Buddhism was the Taoist. It's a family."

Li Xuandu nodded slightly: "What the Master Zuo said is right. If you regard the Taoist sect as the Ten Witches of Lingshan, then Buddhism is the enlightened six witches, while the Buddhist sects are the five great witches headed by Wu Peng, who are the Ten Witches of Lingshan. , and the six enlightened witches again."

It is related to Taoism, and Fang Yuan and Wuzhen both ponder and silently.

Zuo Yuhan glanced at Li Xuandu and said loudly: "During the Great Jin Dynasty, the dispute over Buddhism and Taoism was particularly fierce. Mr. Tongzhen Daling, the founder of Shenxiao Sect, fought with Buddhist monks, and Lin Lingsu fought against the Emperor of Jin. It is said: "The Buddhist teachings are harmful to the Tao, and although they are now indestructible, they will be corrected and changed. The Buddha's land is changed to the palace, the Sakyamuni is changed to the heavenly lord, the Bodhisattva is changed to the great master, the Arhat is changed to the venerable, and the monk is a virtue, all of which are left to the top The emperor issued an edict to change Buddhism to Taoism, change clothes and name the surname, and the left and right streets were changed to the Moral Academy, and the Monks were changed to the Deshi Academy, which was affiliated with the Moral Academy. Soon after, the nun was changed to the Female De. The crown prince went to the palace to fight for it, and ordered Hu Seng Lizang and twelve others to fight with Wutai monks and Daojian and others to fight with Lin Lingsu. As a result, the monk failed and was willing to wear a crown and hold a simplified pen. From this point of view, the two Buddhists and Taoists It had already merged in the previous dynasty, but it was interrupted because the army of gold tents went south. Now it is just a renewal of the previous relationship. Mr. Qingping has also said that the various Buddhist sects are both Taoist and Buddhists, and they do not conflict. I don’t know. Why are the two masters so embarrassed?”

The two never expected Zuo Yuhan to turn against each other so quickly, but Fang Yuan didn't dare to persist too much, let alone the capital to persist. He was just afraid that it would be too ugly to spread it, so he couldn't agree at once. Now he has it. He said with the opportunity: "It's so good, so it should be."

In this way, only Wuzhen was left without nodding.

Li Xuan didn't even urge him and looked at Xu Jiu. Xu Jiu knew it and stood up and poured Wuzhen a glass of vegetarian wine, saying, "Now that the Central Plains Buddhism is declining, and the elite of Buddhism are concentrated in the Western Regions. It is reasonable for Buddhism to monopolize the Western Regions and give the Central Plains to the Taoist Sect, but the master does not. I forgot that Kunlun, the ancestral courtyard of Taoism, is also in the Western Regions. If Buddhism keeps people from thousands of miles away, then the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism will probably be repeated again."

Wu Zhen glanced at Xu Jiu with a serious expression and asked, "Please forgive me for being a clumsy monk, who is your pride?"

Xu Jiu smiled slightly, "I'm in the next chapter, so the master just calls me 'Xu Jiu'."

Wu Zhen was shocked. He was already very old and knew many secrets in the world. He naturally heard of the extremely mysterious disciple of King Qi. At this time, his eyes fell on the "Yin and Yang Immortal Clothes" on Li Xuandu's body, and he immediately understood. . These minions and hawks of the earth masters already have new owners.

After a long time, Wu Zhen sighed, "Since Mr. Qingping said this, I have to agree. It's just that the matter is important. It's not that I can make arbitrary decisions. I also have to allow me to return to the Western Regions and discuss with everyone before Give Mr. Qingping a clear answer."

Li Xuandu picked up his wine glass and said, "To this point, I also expressed my intention. The great cause of Taoism is not a one-day achievement. Many details can be negotiated slowly, but the general direction cannot be wrong, otherwise it will be completely different. . Xuan is not talented. If you want to accomplish this big thing, you also need to ask for more help and just toast you with this small wine."

Zuo Yuhan was the first to pick up the wine glass, and Fang Yuan was the second to pick up the wine glass. Wu Zhenzhi was embarrassed and looked at the glass of wine in front of him, but he didn't know how to pick it up.

Li Xuan looked at Wuzhen and said softly, "Brothers are fighting against the wall, and they are defending their insults from outside. At this time, there are strong enemies outside, so we have to work together. Even if Master Wuzhen doesn't look at my feelings, he will do his best to do it for his own sake. Do you still don’t want to drink this glass of wine in the tradition of Taoism?”

Wuzhen slowly held up the wine glass with both hands and raised it towards Li Xuandu. It is difficult to say in my heart. Now Li Xuandu is not the one who discusses his family with him in the inn. Now Mr. Qingping is still a figure like the old teacher Zhang Jingxiu and the earth teacher Xu Wugui. Sitting high on Mount Zhongnan, overlooking the world.

Li Xuandu also picked up the wine glass and faced Xiang Wuzhen.

Everyone drank the wine in one go, and Wuzhen illuminated the bottom of the wine glass to Li Xuandu, indicating that the wine had been drunk.

Li Xuandu put down his wine glass and smiled and said, "As long as we can work together and work together, the world will be in chaos."

Wuzhen smiled, but the smile was full of bitterness.
