The wisdom is against the sky: people in Daqin, the maid Shao Siming

Suddenly, a tall figure wearing a loose black robe and a mask appeared.

Ying Chen understood instantly that the person in front of him was the leader of the Yin-Yang School, Donghuang Taiyi!

Chapter 22 My heart is bright, what else can I say? The Way of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi

"I heard that Master Ying Chen practiced the Supreme Heavenly Dao for more than ten years in Xianyang. Now, with his accumulated experience, he has achieved breakthroughs in realms one after another."

"It's just that I'm very curious. Master Ying Chen, what is the Heavenly Dao in your mind?"

Donghuang Taiyi didn't say any pleasantries, but instead asked Ying Chen an almost incomprehensible question.

"The way of heaven?"

"Yin Yang School originated from Taoism, and the Taoist saint Lao Tzu once said."

“The heaven and earth move on their own without anyone pushing them, the sun and moon shine on their own without anyone lighting them, the stars are arranged in order without anyone arranging them, and the animals are born on their own without anyone creating them. This is all natural, so why bother with human effort?”

"The reason why people are born, why they die, why they are honored, and why they are humiliated, all follow the laws of nature and the way of nature."

"So, heaven and man are one, and the way is natural."

"Isn't this the way of heaven in the eyes of Taoists? Why do you ask me, Lord Donghuang?"

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Ying Chen with a low voice.

"Taoism has now split into the Heaven Sect and the Human Sect, so how can we talk about the Tao following the laws of nature and the unity of heaven and man?"

"and!"

"Since Master Ying Chen knows that our Yin-Yang School has completely separated from Taoism, why do we need to talk about the Taoism anymore?"

Ying Chen made a simple test and found that Donghuang Taiyi actually cared so much about the difference in Taoist traditions. He felt it was both reasonable and unexpected.

The word "Tao" is related to the fundamental foundation of a doctrine or school.

It seems reasonable that Donghuang Taiyi would care.

But Ying Chen was surprised that Donghuang Taiyi cared too much and immediately distanced himself from Taoism.

There was even an implicit mockery of the Taoist split in his words, as if he wanted to suppress Taoism and prove that the Yin-Yang School was more powerful.

"It seems that even the mysterious Donghuang Taiyi has human weaknesses. It is ultimately the limitation of the times."

In later generations, among the various schools of thought, almost no one sticks to just one, and it is normal for people to embrace all schools of thought.

Therefore, the thoughts in Ying Chen’s mind are not something that Donghuang Taiyi of this era can understand.

This also greatly reduced Ying Chen's awe of Donghuang Taiyi.

After all, in the memories of the previous life, Donghuang Taiyi was so mysterious and seemed to know everything.

But now Ying Chen understands that Donghuang Taiyi is just a mortal.

Now that the psychological pressure was gone, Ying Chen relaxed a lot. Not only did he not answer, but he asked Donghuang Taiyi a question in return.

"Mr. Donghuang, what do you think is the Tao?"

Donghuang Taiyi did not answer directly, but stared at Ying Chen, as if he wanted to see something from him.

Ying Chen did not flinch or avoid his gaze, and there was no fear in his eyes.

a long time.

Seeing that Ying Chen remained silent, Donghuang Taiyi finally spoke slowly.

"Yin and Yang are the great principles of heaven and earth; the four seasons are the great principles of Yin and Yang; punishment and virtue are the combination of the four seasons."

"When punishment and virtue are in harmony with the times, good fortune will come; when they are perverse, disaster will occur."

"The rise and fall of yin and yang is the fundamental principle of heaven and earth."

"The movement of the four seasons is the fundamental law of yin and yang."

"Criminal and moral policies must adapt to the four seasons."

Donghuang Taiyi pointed to the Tianji Temple in the center palace, representing the stars of the 8 solar terms.

“Spring brings life, summer brings prosperity, autumn brings harvest, and winter brings storage.”9

"The Way of Heaven is the great principle. If it is not followed, it will not serve as the order of the world."3

"The four seasons, eight positions, twelve degrees, and twenty-four solar terms each have their own teachings. Those who follow them will prosper, while those who go against them will either die or perish!"9

"The great way is yin and yang, the infinite is the one, the five virtues have an end and a beginning, and yin and yang are the way!"

"The ceremony is completed with drums, the dance is passed down, the women sing and dance with grace, the spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, forever and ever."4

"This is the way of the Yin-Yang family, the limit of heaven and man!"

Listening to Donghuang Taiyi's story, Ying Chen nodded slightly.

If we talk about the Tao of Taoism, it is more like a vague understanding that can only be understood but not expressed in words.

The teachings of Yin-Yang School are surprisingly scientific, describing the essential laws between the sun, moon, stars, the four seasons of heaven and earth, the twenty-four solar terms and all things in the world.

However, it is not difficult to see that Yin-Yang School originated from Taoism.

The word "Tao" is still inextricably linked to the Taoist principle of "Tao follows nature".

"Then, Master Yingchen, can you now answer me where your Tao is?"

Ying Chen understood that Donghuang Taiyi seemed to be asking this question, but in fact he was asking whether he would be an enemy of the Yin-Yang School.

Therefore, he did not keep the audience in suspense this time, but spoke loudly and forcefully.

"The main body is just too empty."

"In the vastness of space, there is the sun, the moon, the stars, the planets, the wind, the dew, the thunder, the lightning, the haze, the choking air, what is not there?"

"And what object can be a barrier to the great void? The essence of the human mind is also like this."

“Although the heart is the master of one body, it actually governs the principles of the world. Although principles are scattered in all things, they are actually no more than one person’s heart.”

"To seek the truth outside the heart is the reason why knowledge and action are two things. To seek the truth in my heart is the unity of knowledge and action in the way of the saints."

“I am not happy with things, nor sad with myself. My heart is bright, what else can I say?”

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Ying Chen, his eyes moved slightly, unable to hide his shock.

"I am not happy with things, nor sad with myself. My heart is bright, and so...what else can I say?"

Although Donghuang Taiyi did not agree with Ying Chen's view which was close to Confucianism, he had to admit it.

This argument can be regarded as the founding of a new school of thought and will be remembered forever.

He just couldn't understand how Ying Chen, at his age, could say such thought-provoking words.

"color!"

"My heart is bright, what else can I say?"

"I didn't expect that Master Ying Chen is so proficient in Confucianism. I'm afraid that even if he were to discuss the Dao with Master Xun of the time, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage."

"Could this be the way of heaven in Young Master's mind?!"

Hearing Donghuang Taiyi's shocked words, Ying Chen smiled and shook his head.

“This is the study of the mind, the way in my heart, but it is not all.”

"Whether it's the Yin-Yang school's limit of heaven and man or the Taoist school's law of nature and the unity of heaven and man."

"Even including the Mohist school that says the whole world is white, but I am the only one who is black, I do not attack the Mohist school, but love everyone in my life."

"Or maybe I believe in the Guigu lineage that the world is in chaos and among all the schools of thought, only I can dominate."

"Even if they are the Legalists who do not distinguish between relatives or strangers, nobles and humbles, and all decisions are based on the law, how can they not be used by my way?"

"Xuanyuan Huangdi once wrote a book that covers everything, and includes a thousand of them!"

"Therefore, my way is the way of heaven!"

Chapter 23: Becoming a Saint and Ancestor, Yan Fei's Change

"It encompasses everything, and contains a thousand things. My way is the way of heaven!"

Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he looked at the young Ying Chen.

"In that case, Mr. Ying Chen, you can leave now."

"Sisters Ehuang and Nvying, I will not force them to make any choice."

"So the final result depends entirely on your methods."

Although from beginning to end, Ying Chen and Donghuang Taiyi seemed to be only discussing the way of heaven.

But Donghuang Taiyi now understands that Ying Chen has no ill feelings towards the Yin-Yang School.

In other words, he was like this towards all the schools of thought.

He had great ambitions and felt that all the schools of thought could be used by him.

It is similar to the Eclectic School, but it is completely different from the Eclectic School's dragon-slaying method that combines Confucianism, Mohism, and the law of names.

The eclectic school has no core idea of ​​its own, but simply combines the strengths of all schools of thought.

But Ying Chen only believed in the way of heaven in his heart and was unwavering.

He was also able to be compatible with all schools of thought, not be influenced by their theories, and only take their advantages for his own use.

Donghuang Taiyi didn’t know what kind of training Ying Chen had gone through to have such huge ambitions.

You can look at all schools of thought and even all doctrines fairly and impartially without any bias, just to see what is beneficial to them.

But he had to admit that maybe Ying Chen really had a chance to succeed.

After several years, there might be another school of thought among the hundreds of schools of thought, and by then Ying Chen might call himself the sage and respectfully address him as his son.

He now calls Ying Chen "Sir", and he deserves the title.

Donghuang Taiyi even felt that perhaps Ying Chen's ideas were the general trend of the world in the future.

After all, if the various schools of thought only stick to their own ideas, it would be too narrow-minded.

Such various schools of thought could not compete with the doctrine founded by Ying Chen, who combined the strengths of all schools of thought.

And the other side.

When Ying Chen heard Donghuang Taiyi's words, he instantly understood what Donghuang Taiyi meant.

He affirmed his own thoughts, was unwilling to make an enemy of himself, and was kind to himself.

This made Ying Chen feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

After all, whether it is Shao Siming Black and White, or Lady Xiang, Ehuang and Nvying.

Even Dongjun Yanfei and others were on the list that Ying Chen wanted to recruit for his own use.

Who made the Yin-Yang School have so many masters who are extremely talented but ignorant of the ways of the world and very easy to deceive?

Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't use it for yourself?

Although I feel bad, it was only for a moment.

The next second, Ying Chen decided to accept Donghuang Taiyi's kindness.

At worst, a little spark will be left for the Yin-Yang School in the future, rather than almost complete extinction like in later generations.

"Since Lord Donghuang is so willing, I will not refuse the kindness of the Yin-Yang Family."

After saying that, Ying Chen turned around and left the Tianji Temple in the Central Palace.
