Chapter 196 The past words of various schools of thought

In Yan State, the atmosphere here has changed since Ye Fan left.

In Jixia Academy, many students looked at the vacant master and started talking to each other about what happened.

"Master, why are you not here today?"

"Is Master sick and resting?"

"Do you think Master has something to do today, so..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Master has never stopped teaching."

"So what happened?"

"cough."

Yan Wuxia coughed and then walked out.

She was wearing the white robe that Ye Fan wore when he was teaching as a master, and she was holding a scroll of bamboo slips in her hand.

Looking around at the quiet crowd, Yan Wuxia explained.

"The Master has gone to preach."

"Master finally went to preach." Someone showed a true expression.

Ye Fan preached and gave these students the so-called Taoist language, which was about Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Mohism, military and other schools of thought. The result was that these people had a understanding in their hearts - Ye Fan would eventually leave. .

"I will succeed Master and become the Palace Master of Jixia Academy and continue to teach."

After Yan Wuxia finished speaking, he looked at everyone's reactions.

"Are you good enough to teach us?" A young man stood up and asked Yan Wuxia.

"Of course." Yan Wuxia nodded.

She walked to the Master's seat, sat cross-legged, and invited all the disciples in a calm tone.

"On the Road."

"Discuss the Tao." The young man said unceremoniously and sat in the front row of disciples' seats opposite Yan Wuxia.

"My name is Li Er."

"Who goes first?"

"Let me tell you what I have learned."

After Li Er finished speaking, many disciples quietly watched the two men's discussion.

"What I have learned is 'virtue'."

"Virtue is the foundation, Tao is the sublimation of virtue."

“Without a foundation of virtue, it is very likely that one will fail in conducting oneself in society, running a family, and running a country, and one will not have the ability to “cultivate the Tao.”

"Cultivation of "virtue" is to create a good external environment for cultivating Taoism, which may be what everyone needs; ascetics need to have a peaceful state of mind and a transcendent life, which is also indispensable for "virtue"."

Li Er's tone was calm, and he began to describe the moral truth he had seen.

"Tao is everywhere. "Tao" is not just the tangible "matter", the "spirit" of thinking, and the "law" of rationality, but the formless, ethereal and spiritual root of the universe that causes all of this. "Matter ", "spirit" and "law" are all transformed by "Tao"."

Moral Mantra, this is the exploration of man and nature described in the Tao Te Ching taught by Ye Fan.

Yan Wuxia stretched out her hand and pointed at herself, and then pointed at Li Er.

"How to practice Taoism?"

“Move forward with persistence.”

Yan Wuxia shook her head and just sighed at these very empty words.

"Thousands of households, all living beings are different, you and I are different, how can Tao and virtue be just about moving forward with a simple mind?"

"The old charcoal seller, the fisherman on the river, you and me, humans and non-humans, in this chaotic world, can we move forward with determination? Is it possible?"

"Maybe." Li Er's eyes were firm.

"How to do?"

"...Cultivation of the mind."

"What is the heart?"

"Wherever the mind goes, where the thoughts move, and where the heart goes, that is the original mind."

"Mountains and seas can move, the sun and the moon can change, and people are in the world. How to judge the right and wrong of the heart." Yan Wuxia bluntly said the shortcomings.

"There is no good or evil, it is all the original mind."

After Li Er said this, some students couldn't help but express their thoughts and ideas: "No, it's about cultivating a kind heart."

"Kindness is the most important thing. Without kindness, how can everyone live in harmony and love each other? People's hearts are chaotic, so we must cultivate kindness."

After the student's words came out, Li Er retorted: "Between good and good, for great good, small good is evil."

Relatively speaking, where does absolute kindness exist?

The student retorted bluntly: "There is no good or evil, it is a human or a beast!"

"The great road is like this, and those who pursue it must stick to their true intentions."

Two different theories. Li Er believes that this is the great road, the moral truth, and one should follow one's heart.

Another student had a different opinion and wanted to practice kindness.

At this moment, it is like the ancient philosophers discussing their exploration of man and nature.

Taoism's unity of nature and man, Confucianism's benevolence, Mohism's non-aggression, Legalism's rule of law... different views, collisions of ideas.

The two quarreled fiercely, listing incidents one after another. Then, after neither side could convince the other, they looked at Yan Wuxia.

In the past, when Ye Fan faced the different ideas and concepts of many students, he could explain them equally and teach them what this ideal thinking would bring.

Now it's Yan Wuxia's turn.

When you become a master, you naturally need to answer your disciples’ questions.

Yan Wuxia took a deep breath and looked at the verbal exchange between the two with a headache.

What should I say, it really is a headache.

Any thought and concept is correct if we study it deeply.

It's like a group of people looking at a big mountain. Some people see the difficulty of climbing the mountain. Some people see the majesty of the top of the mountain overlooking the clouds. Some people see the nature of the animals playing in the mountain. Some people see it. Mineral resources buried deep under the mountains.

There are too many landscapes, because each has a different original intention, so what emerges is completely different ideas.

It's hard for you to tell them what's right or wrong, because thinking from this perspective, they are really "right".

In a sense, the warrior and the warrior don't look at each other, and even regard each other as a devil.

At this time, Yan Wuxia suddenly thought of his past experiences related to the Tianli Sect.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Wuxia spoke, still following Bai Mo's instructions, describing the relevant concepts of Tianli Sect to the disciples.

"So that's it, the world is like this." Li Er reached out and punched his palms, and then said to himself: "As long as everyone is practicing Taoism, then this world..."

"You should practice Buddhism."

"No, it should be the law."

"Are you kidding? It's obvious that heaven and man are one."

"Ahem." Yan Wuxia stopped the conflicts between these disciples and proposed personal indirection.

"You can preach like the Master."

"I want to establish Taoism!"

"I want to establish Legalism!"

"I want to establish the Mo family!"

...One voice after another, some disciples joined each other to join the group, and some disciples walked alone.

They reached a surprising agreement at this moment - to preach.

Pass on the thoughts you have understood, combine them with the real life of this world, and let your thoughts and concepts be sown in the hearts of all living beings like seeds.

Yan Wuxia watched them leave and took a deep breath.

In Jixia Academy, the students taught by Ye Fan were extremely valuable. As the disciples of the protagonist, they are born with the responsibility to become the disciples of all schools of thought, and they will inevitably become sages.

Therefore, all this is the inevitable result.

"Even if I know the fate of all this, I still can't change anything." Yan Wuxia said to himself.

Like a fish peering into the river of destiny, Yan Wuxia stretched out her body and saw the "future", but knowing her destiny, she could not change it at all.

As the protagonist, Ye Fan preaches to his disciples as Master and spreads the thoughts and ideas of hundreds of schools of thought on the earth. These disciples will inevitably leave Jixia Academy at some time in the future and preach in different regions.

"Jixia Academy, Palace Master and Master, Tianli Sect." Yan Wuxia walked into the courtyard and looked at the Bodhi tree with its branches and leaves shining brightly in the sun. She had many thoughts in her heart...
