Chapter 25: Jade Void Fighting Sword

When did my attitude towards Confucianism change?

Was it the time when the Confucian people openly opposed the unification of Taoism?

Is it when I am determined to bring about the unification of the Daomen?

Was it when the Confucian people prevented me from becoming the head of the Taiping Sect?

No, it's not.

It was in the second year of Tianbao. Before that, many people called me a Confucian disciple of Taoism, and I didn't hate it, because I did have a very good Confucian teacher, and before I met him, I was in a daze, not knowing what I wanted or what to do. After meeting him, he taught me a lot and made me understand a lot of things. I have two teachers, one who taught me the art and the other who taught me, and I am very grateful to them.

Until the second year of Tianbao, an accident caused my Confucian teacher to die. It was at this time that my attitude towards Confucianism changed. Confucianism, so powerful, can completely reverse the situation and control the situation. But where were they when Zhang Suqing died? What did they do?

They watched from the wall, and they did nothing.

Why?

Because Zhang Suqing's new policy not only touched the interests of the temple magnates, but also touched the interests of the local gentry. What is a scholar? A scholar does not produce, farm, or work, and it is very difficult to support such a scholar. Take the rice field as an example, if it is a tenant, under normal circumstances, the yield of rice per mu is more than 300 catties, and half of it is used to pay the rent, and there is still 150 catties of rice left.

In other words, ninety percent of the scholars were born in the families of the gentry, and every new policy of Zhang Suqing hurt the interests of the scholars, so those scholars who were full of the common people in the world and the righteousness of the family and the country quit, because they did not have the world and the common people, but they really had thousands of acres of fertile land in their homes.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and it seems that these high-ranking scholars are not much more noble than the mud legs they look down on.

At this time, I finally understood the face of Confucianism, there are indeed loyal people, but the vast majority of them are liars full of benevolence and morality. Now that the loyal and righteous people are dead, what is left of Confucianism? The remaining scholars, these gentlemen, and these famous scholars and great Confucians, who live high in temples and are supported by all the people, in the name of benevolence and filial piety, are full of their own selfish desires, and a few more people stand up to speak for the common people, and a few people think about the society of a country.

Zhang Suqing is a Confucian, Qin Xiang is a Confucian, the four ministers are Confucian, and Zhao Zheng is also a Confucian. Two years before Tianbao, the Great Wei had recovered the northwest, Li Xuandu, Hu Liang, Lu Yanbing and others were all working for the imperial court, Zhao Zheng did not stand on his own, and the five real people of Daomen were also canonized by the imperial court. But in less than five years after the death of the four ministers, the northwest became independent, the eastern part of Liaodong was divided, and the local heroes and powers rose together, and Li Xuandu became a person who openly opposed the imperial court and Confucianism, whose fault was it?

Of course, all these faults can be blamed on Xie Pheasant alone, but when Xie Pheasant acted so recklessly, where were the Confucian people? Can they stop it? Why not stop it?

There is nothing wrong with Confucianism, but the sages of thousands of years ago are not wrong with the people of today? The sages of the past are not wrong, but the people of the present are at fault.

Is there anything wrong with the imperial court? The common people do not know what the imperial court is, and for them, the imperial court is these people who are officials. The people who are officials are good, and if they think about the people, the court is good. Those who are officials are bad, and if they exploit the people, the court is bad.

Who are the rulers?

It's the people who read the books of the sages.

It turned out to be the same people.

What a coincidence.

What I am opposed to is not Confucianism, not sages such as saints and sub-sages, not Confucian principles, but those Confucian people.

......

Li Xuandu's thoughts drifted away, remembering what he had thought and felt all the way to today.

At the same time, he looked at the Qinghe monk and said the final sentence.

The Confucian people did not refute, only Mr. Bailu and the people of Ziyan Mountain stepped forward, one retrieved the ring ruler and sword of the Qinghe monk, and the other supported the Qinghe monk and fed him medicine.

Sikong Daoxuan opened his mouth and said: "It was we who lost, and it was the Daomen who won." ”

Li Xuandu put away the "human world" and said "promise".

Sikong Daoxuan's expression was complicated, he looked at Li Xuandu, and said: "Mr. Qingping, when you visited the Vientiane Academy that day, the old man had a deep conversation with you, I don't know if you will regret what you did today?"

Li Xuandu was silent for a moment and said, "Knowing that I sin against me, the only thing is "Spring and Autumn". ”

Ning Qi sighed, "If the old man remembers correctly, the eldest lady of the Zhang family once gave Mr. Qingping a song "Dispatch to Qinyuan Spring and Taiping", which contains a sentence: 'Heroes and heroes, righteous and evil ways, left for a hundred years to be commented on.' Now it seems that Miss Zhang knows Mr. Qingping's mind better. ”

Coincidentally, Qin Su arrived at this time, she didn't approach, she stood far away, but Li Xuan knew that she must have heard it.

Li Xuandu was silent.

When he said goodbye to Zhang Baiyue, Zhang Baiyue did write a poem for him, but there was only the upper rhyme, not the lower rhyme.

Shang Yun was made by Zhang Baiyue and given to Li Xuandu.

A sword comes to the west, the river goes to the east, and the air is crossed.

Ask how to be peaceful, it is rare to be peaceful, and to cut down the troubled times, but to open peace?

Heroes and heroes, righteous and evil paths, left to be judged by the world a hundred years later.

Looking back on the past, the light and cold nineteen states, Qingfeng is ruthless.

The next rung was later made up by Li Xuandu himself, indicating his intentions.

A hundred years of spirit. The world is full of wind and thunder.

Sigh the ups and downs of this life, the turmoil is uncertain, and the sword in ten years is chivalrous.

The sleeve is a blue snake, the waist hangs three feet, and the road is uneven.

Facing the sky, look at the sword qi vertically and horizontally, and then open the green underworld.

Li Xuandu only mentioned this poem to Hu Liang and Zhou Shuning, but the people in the Confucian sect actually knew it, so from this point of view, he worked the people in the Confucian sect, and the people in the Confucian sect also worked him. It was not that he suspected Hu Liang and Zhou Shuning, but that he suspected that both of them were dormant in Confucianism.

For a while, Li Xuandu's mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't answer for a long time.

At this moment, Zhang Jingxiu spoke, "Ning Da sacrificial wine, speaking seriously, Zhang Suqing's teacher is out of the same class as you, Zhang Suqing also has a friendship with you, and the Zhang family overturned back then."

If you don't save Zhang's father and son, it's fine, but why don't you even save his daughter? Since ancient times, temples have been convicted, and women are at most sold, and rarely have capital crimes. If they don't save it, it's just that, why did Ning Da Sacrificial Wine take in Shi Zongxi? Could it be that Ning Da Sacrificial Wine is counting on us, the people of the Dao Sect, to save us? Or is Ning Da Sacrificial Wine resentful and dissatisfied with Zhang Suqing?"

This matter was Ning Qi's fault, and after being broken by Zhang Jingxiu, Ning Qi's face suddenly turned blue and he was speechless.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xuandu had already sorted out his thoughts and said: "The past is the past after all, and it is useless to talk about it." Or is it said that in today's martial arts competition, if the Confucian people lose, they should practice the gambling contract and no longer interfere in the affairs of the Daomen. ”

Li Daoxu said indifferently: "Exactly, if the Confucian sect doesn't want to abide by the agreement, then there is no need to talk nonsense, just smash the Vientiane Academy Palace first, and then we will talk about other things." ”

Qin Qing coughed lightly, "What Mr. Li said is exactly what I want to say, the Great Heavenly Master has already said just now, all the university palaces, the major academies are here, and the disciples are all here, if you break the contract, you can act without following the rules, and you also approve it." ”

Sikong Daoxuan hurriedly said: "Of course we abide by the agreement, there is no intention of repentance, the Daomen will hold a meeting in the Longmen Mansion, and our Confucian Sect will not interfere at all, and we will also send people to congratulate us." ”

Li Daoxu smiled, "It's still Brother Sikong to be reasonable, there is a huge Vientiane Academy, and you are left with a kind person, you have to live well, don't die in front of those bastards." ”

Sikong Daoxuan smiled bitterly and was speechless.

The old problem of Qingweizong is that he can't speak without a gun and a stick, and those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and Li Daoxu has been in Qingweizong for many years, and he is not exempt from vulgarity.

Sure enough, Ning Qi's face was already dark. In fact, the cultivation of the big people, each has a different level, on weekdays, the old gods are calm, just because of the different status, of course the adults will not care about the disrespect of children, the big deal is to punish it, but when you meet people with the same status, especially when you can't help others, whether you can hold on to it and not be angry, that is the time to really test your own cultivation.

At this time, all the good and bad things were said, and when it was time to end, Jin Toad, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "Today, the three immortal great real people are coming with great momentum, and this kind of formation seems to be about to pick my Confucian Vientiane Academy, but in the end, it turned into a one-on-one battle. The Qinghe monks are old and frail, no longer brave to the sun, not the opponent of young people, we have nothing to say, but in this way, it is inevitable that there will be some anticlimactic. ”

Qin Qing smiled faintly, "Fist is afraid of being young and strong, that's what it means, right?" But the Qinghe monk is a 'Haoran Qi' cultivation, and the longer he cultivates, the more profound he becomes, but it has nothing to do with qi and blood, let alone age. ”

Li Daoxu said that Jin Toad's intentions were broken, "Let's just say it, what else do you want?"

Jin Toad said in a deep voice: "Your Daomen openly came to the door today, persecuted again and again, and deceived people too much. Since we want to fight, then we will simply fight and win or lose. ”

Li Daoxu asked, "Why do you have a big fight?"

"According to the rules of your Daomen, there is a three-element festival. On the 15th day of the first lunar month, the birthday of the heavenly official, on the 15th day of the seventh month, the birthday of the local official, and on the 15th day of October, the birthday of the water official. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month of this year has passed, and the fifteenth day of October is still early, so we will set it on the fifteenth day of July. Jin Toad said, "Gather in Kunlun and fight the sword in the jade void." ”
