Chapter 589 Replacing Heaven with Man

Chapter 589 Replacing Heaven with Man

Li Qiyou really knows Yun. If Li Qi is asked to 'visit', then Li Qi will only have to walk around and the entire structure of the fortress will probably be remembered in his mind.

You know, when Li Qi was in the seventh rank, he really knew the rhyme and memorized the fifth rank formation diagram.

However, if Li Qi came to visit, Liu Junyi would never refuse and would definitely invite him to sit inside and take a look.

Therefore, in order not to be seen through by Li Qi and unable to refuse Li Qi's visit, Liu Junyi simply kept an eye out and came to greet Li Qi personally in the boundless void.

It looks awkward.

In the eyes of normal people, if you don't want to show Li Qi, just drive away. Why go around in such a big circle?

But this is what a gentleman does.

It's not disrespectful, it's not disrespectful, if there is a conflict between the two parties, the gentleman will choose to make himself more troubled than to let the conflict between the two parties break out.

Although it's not tight, it's very comfortable.

If Li Qi goes directly and is driven away and rejected by Liu Junyi, then Li Qi will understand even if he is prepared, but he will feel unhappy no matter what.

If Li Qi had not been rejected and entered the city, it would have caused humanity to be at a disadvantage, which would have made it even more unsightly, and the Tang army would have been even more displeased.

Therefore, only when a gentleman works hard can both parties be "like a spring breeze."

The so-called comfort of facing a gentleman actually comes from this.

Some people may also want to say, since you and Li Qi are already enemies, what if you make the enemy unhappy? Isn't this a good thing? It is only natural to make the enemy unhappy.

However, this is exactly what Li Qi admires most about Liu Junyi.

Liu Junyi did not think Li Qi was an enemy.

In other words, Liu Junyi never had any personal enemies except his enemies of Taoism.

A gentleman is benevolent, therefore, a gentleman is invincible.

Invincibility does not mean that no one is an opponent, but that no one will regard a gentleman as an enemy, and a gentleman will not become anyone's enemy.

Even at this moment, Li Qi was not resentful or hostile to Liu Junyi. Similarly, Liu Junyi did not think Li Qi was so hateful that he needed to be dealt with.

Because there is no need, the fight is because of one's own way, not because the other party is the enemy.

This is a moral dispute, not a personal fight.

Dao disputes are about things and have nothing to do with grudges. Even if the two parties are as close as close friends, they still want to see the truth.

Private fights are about the love between sons and daughters, the hatred between clans, and the grudges and grievances.

In fact, such grudges will not exist among gentlemen.

Li Qi looked at Liu Junyi in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, this kind of person is really a monster.

Don't act rashly, there must be a way to act.

Don't just say it, the words must be reasonable.

If you don't ask too hard, you will be worthy of your request.

If you do not act in vain, your actions will be correct.

Be benevolent and courageous towards yourself, be resolute and persistent, and strive for self-improvement.

Externally, he should be sensible, be virtuous, and act bravely when he sees justice.

To aspire to the Tao is to cultivate one's mind.

According to virtue, it has its own cultivation.

Relying on benevolence means emphasizing its pure goodness.

To practice art is to maintain one's ability.

Morality, benevolence and art are the foundation of a 'gentleman'.

Art is one of the hundred arts of human nature, it is the six arts of a gentleman, and it is the ability of a gentleman to walk in the world. A gentleman is not a waste who only talks about morality and righteousness. He is also a person who has mastered various skills and can solve problems from reality, regardless of A gentleman can master the skills of a school of medicine, Confucianism, Mohism, military, Yin-Yang, or even farming.

Therefore, when he really met Liu Junyi this time, Li Qicai realized why the title "gentleman" was used by humanity to refer to the top talents.

Meeting the conditions of a 'gentleman' is really... extremely harsh.

In the past, he had poor eyesight and did not see the power of Liu Junyi, who was fighting one against three. He thought he could do it only because of his official position.

Now it seems that official position is not the focus at all.

Li Qi cupped his hands and said: "Brother Liu is still thoughtful, but if I go to visit, I won't look at your war fortress."

"I believe it, but it's better not to catch anyone's tongue." Liu Junyi said with a smile.

There seemed to be a breeze around him, even in this endless void outside the realm, it was still blowing slowly.

The breeze blows slowly, and the clothes are illuminated by light.

Looking at the other person standing there, it makes people feel like: "There is no one in the empty mountain, the water flows by itself, and the lonely pine is looking for me alone."

"It's a little awkward to talk while standing, so you might as well sit down. By the way, Classmate Li used to eat at my house a lot. I wonder if he still remembers the taste of Liu's dishes?" Liu Junyi said.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a table, two chairs, and a tea set appeared around him.

However, he did not drink tea. Instead, he took away the tea set, replaced it with a set of wine sets, and then began to take out the dishes.

In the past, Li Qi often ate Liu's food. (See Chapter 381 for details)

At that time, Li Qi was studying in Chang'an and had a close relationship with Liu Shenzhi. The two developed the magic weapon silkworm together and also did things together in Shangyuan. They had a very good relationship.

Many times, they studied witchcraft silkworms for many days at a time, so the problem of eating was naturally solved at the Liu family.

Although Li Qi could cook some food, brew some wine, etc., he couldn't go to someone else's kitchen, so when he ate at Liu Shenzhi's house, he always ate with Liu Shenzhi.

There were no women in Liu Shenzhi's family, Liu Donghe didn't know how to cook, and Liu Shenzhi was a slacker, so during that time, Li Qi ate the food cooked by Liu Junyi.

To be honest, his cooking is quite delicious. Although he doesn't have any precious ingredients, he can still make delicious food out of ordinary food.

Practitioners do not actually need to eat every day, but humanity does not advocate a lifestyle of "not eating the fireworks of the world". What they prefer is to love life and live well every day.

Taking life seriously is the habit of many humane cultivators, so Liu Donghe said, "You never tire of fine food, and you never tire of fine food." This is also a reminder to them that no matter how high their cultivation level is, humanity is always a whole.

Regarding this point, Shen Shuibi has said it before. (See Chapter 134 for details)

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi, as members of the witchcraft and Taoist sects who are "out of the ordinary world", center on themselves and do not need to rely on external things and people, so they can achieve their own unique selves.

But in the human world, even noble ministers who have reached the third rank will still not 'break away from the common world'. They still live among mortals and serve mortals.

This can be regarded as...the difference between different paths. After all, different paths will definitely have different values ​​and worldviews.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi could hide in the mountains and escape from the mortal world for hundreds of years, but it was absolutely impossible for humane monks. They must stand among the crowd.

Although they seemed to have a good relationship, Li Qi became more and more aware that he and the two brothers Liu Shenzhi and Liu Junyi were not on the same page from the beginning.

The ways are different and they don't agree with each other.

Facing a table of dishes, Li Qi walked forward to take a seat with this sigh.

Liu Junyi stretched out his hand, poured wine for Li Qi, filled it for himself, and said, "During this visit, is Mr. Li talking about business or private matters?"

"Let's talk about personal matters first, then business matters." Li Qi didn't shy away and said directly, then picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of food, and said, "May I ask Brother Liu... How has Shen Zhi been doing in recent years?"

Liu Junyi took a sip and replied with a smile: "Shenzhi did a good job. After graduating from Taixue University, I did some research at home alone. Although the research was all about weird and risqué techniques, the Mo family seemed to like him very much and intended to recruit him to become the Mo family." By."

Hearing this, Li Qi sighed: "Master Mo, this is a very high requirement. Although Shen Zhi is proficient in skills, he does not have that kind of uprightness. I guess he likes to wear red and purple, and wear hairpins and powder." ”

"You do know Shen Zhi. He really can't accept the style of the Mohist. To be honest, even I can't accept it. How can he endure such hard training? So he refused, and now he went to the weapons supervisor. Now that he is serving as an official in the Jiafang Department, he has an official position, and he is doing things that are within his interests, so he has settled down." Liu Junyi told Li Qi about Liu Shenzhi.

Li Qi nodded slightly, which was in line with humanity's overall trend of following the path.

Everyone does what they are interested in and will definitely get sufficient rewards, including those who are ink.

Moreover, the Ordnance Supervisor Jiafang Department issued an order. Although this official position is low, he can really learn a lot. During this battle, he might be able to come into contact with the weapons that Liu Shenzhi is responsible for.

Military weapons supervisors and junior supervisors are from the third grade, and this unit also has a very famous name, called "Shangfang supervisor".

It is very, very famous. It is said that the "Shangfang Sword" in the minds of countless people comes from here. Today, Shangfang Sword is the Renhuang Sword that once smashed Luofu Mountain.

However, not all Shang Fang swords are Human Emperor swords, but in this era... the previous generation of Shang Fang swords has fallen in that rebellion, so today's Human Emperor swords only serve as both swords.

Normally, the Human Emperor Sword is kept in Shang Fang Prison.

Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Liu Shenzhi. The Jiafang Department is just a small department with real power below, and the official position of the Jiafang Department is no more than the eighth grade.

It's just that it's really reassuring to be able to get to this point.

Although Liu Shenzhi was considered powerful and could enter the Imperial Academy, which was very, very strong compared to most people, he was completely unable to compare with Li Qi in terms of genius, let alone his eldest brother Liu Junyi.

"What about you, classmate Li? My uncle praised you as a good friend in the past. What are you doing now?" Liu Junyi asked.

"Wu Jin is different from you. I don't have any specific errands. I do my own thing. It's just... I started this war alone, so I can only participate in the war. I happened to be the most prepared, so I took on the vanguard role. It's fate that I happened to meet Brother Liu." Li Qi smiled and answered calmly.

Hearing the words 'I picked it up with one hand', Liu Junyi's smile faded.

He actually knew this, but he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the other party say it out loud.

How dare Li Qi dare to fight a head-on battle between two great factions? If Liu Junyi were to stand in Li Qi's position, he might not dare to make up his mind to overturn the table no matter what.

If it were Liu Junyi who made the decision, he would probably choose to keep delaying it, preferably forever, until the fight can never start.

The war of the great system is too terrifying, just like before our eyes, humanity has torn apart tens of millions of worlds just to build a frontier war fortress.

And how many war fortresses does humanity have?

Anyway, Liu Junyi has countless names.

As a gentleman who insists on "benevolence", he actually does not want to see this scene. Even if it is natural resources, he does not want to do such a thing.

A gentleman who is far away from the kitchen cannot bear to see a person alive and cannot bear to see his death. Hearing his voice cannot bear to eat his flesh.

However, he also made a clear distinction. Although he couldn't bear it, he still had to do it, because if he didn't do it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A gentleman loves benevolence, but benevolence can be divided into greater benevolence and lesser benevolence.

In Liu Junyi's view, the war taking place at this moment was like a bandit preparing to attack a mountain village and rob the villagers. The gentleman stepped forward and used bows and arrows made of horns and tendons to resist the bandits.

Loving cows is Xiaoren.

It is Daren to protect the villagers.

Of course, the cow must be killed for its horns and tendons. Although a gentleman is saddened by the death of a cow, he cannot give up human life in order to protect the life of the cow.

A benevolent person has compassion for life, but will not give up what he should do. When it is time to pick up the bow and arrow of horns and tendon to defend against the enemy, then pick it up. This is what Liu Junyi is doing at this moment.

Therefore, Liu Junyi asked at this time: "Classmate Li caused the outbreak of this war and led these worlds to participate in the war. Don't you feel uncomfortable in your heart?"

Hearing this, Li Qi smiled.

Although he is not the most typical witch, he is still a member of the witch after all. For the victims who participated in the war, Li Qi has no guilt at all, nor does he feel uncomfortable.

So, he replied: "Daoist struggle is a natural thing. No one can avoid it. It is a natural thing. I join the war with them and bear the same risks as them. I join hands with those worlds to face the invasion of humanity. What’s so uncomfortable about this?”

"Why does there have to be an invasion? If you didn't hand over the Chenji Golden Pill Method to the real dragons, there wouldn't be this war." Liu Junyi said.

"Then why does Humanity want to grab the Chenji Golden Pill Technique?" Li Qi asked rhetorically.

Then, he said: "Humanity is to be robbed, but you still blame me for finding a way to defend it? Introducing the real dragon into the battle is what I thought of as a way to protect Chenji Jindan. It is better to ask, if Humanity does not start a war, how can it be protected?" It won’t come to this.”

These words left Liu Junyi speechless. It was difficult for him to answer this question.

Yes, why should humanity rob it?

In fact, the reason is very simple.

Humanity is ‘hungry’.

This is not greed, but hunger.

Greed is wanting something you don’t need, knowing you don’t need it, but you still want it.

But humanity really needs the journey of the sun and the moon. The forging of the 'Ecliptic' is already close at hand, but it still lacks the journey of the sun and the moon as the final benchmark.

On the day when the Zodiac is forged, humanity will be able to penetrate all the secrets of the ‘Heaven’, and humanity will have a new breakthrough in the level of ‘human beings replacing heaven’!

This is a breakthrough for the entire human world. When humanity comes to an end, there will no longer be ignorance in all the worlds. Humanity will reveal all its secrets, and nature will no longer be a constraint.

so……

This is Taoism.

There is no right or wrong.

For Liu Junyi, human life has no dignity. One human life is as important as ten thousand lives. This is his concept as a gentleman.

However, even if all human lives are added together, they are not more important than the Tao.

All this is for the great cause of replacing heaven with man, and to free everyone from the shackles of heaven. After success, material and reality will no longer be bound by man!

Life will be truly free, complete freedom!
