Chapter 346 What is the difference between the doctrine of equality and Confucianism?

Does education without discrimination count as equality?

Li Xiuchang's eyes lit up: "Why doesn't it count?"

Su Qingchun's words reminded Li Xiuchang and made him suddenly enlightened.

Before, he was still thinking hard about the similarities between Confucianism and Taoism, but he ignored that the entire Confucianism and Taoism system is based on the cornerstone of "education without distinction".

"Teaching without distinction" fundamentally determines the essence of Confucianism.

"Then, wouldn't the entire Confucianism and Taoism be included within the scope of my Tao of Equality?"

Li Xiuchang just thought about it in his heart and knew that this was unrealistic.

Compared with Confucianism and Taoism, his equality approach is too weak. How can an ant swallow an elephant?

But this is indeed a good entry point to learn from Confucianism and Taoism!

Li Xiuchang was thinking about how to maximize the use of the origins of Confucianism and Taoism.

"The most superficial and wasteful way to use it is for me to understand and learn from the origins of Confucianism and Taoism, integrate it into the Tao of Equality, and strengthen my Tao of Equality."

This is what Li Xiuchang did when he first understood the Buddhist doctrine of sentient beings.

But that's because there is no choice. Buddhism is a stable road. With the help of the young monk, he instantly understood the relevant content of "the way of all living beings" through the secret method of preaching, which is already a rare thing.

The origins of Confucianism and Taoism were now placed in front of him so clearly.

It would be a waste for him to simply understand and learn from it.

"The second method is to let Su Qingchun try to integrate the origins of Confucianism and Taoism later, and then let him integrate the Tao he cultivates into the origin of my Tao of Equality in the form of branches of the Tao of Equality. This will directly strengthen the origin of my Tao of Equality!"

This is equivalent to letting the Tao of Equality swallow up the origin of Confucianism and Taoism in disguise.

Similar to the request the young monk made to Li Xiuchang before, the young monk also wanted Li Xiuchang to integrate the Tao of Equality into the Buddhist Tao in a branched manner and open up a new branch for the Buddhist Tao.

This method is good everywhere. It can not only improve Su Qingchun's strength, but also strengthen the origin of the Tao of Equality, killing two birds with one stone.

But there is the biggest problem - it is too difficult for Su Qingchun!

With Su Qingchun's current level, it would take him who knows how many years to get rid of the hard nut of Confucianism and Taoism, and even time would be spent to get rid of it.

Li Xiuchang didn't want to wait tens of thousands of years for a Confucian and Taoist origin.

"The last solution is for me to do it myself!"

In terms of the efficiency of enlightenment, Li Xiuchang must be many times faster than Su Qingchun.

If he integrated Confucianism and Taoism himself, the efficiency would be much higher.

Li Xiuchang planned to try to understand Confucianism and Taoism on his own first, but before starting, he had to find the right entry point.

He and Su Qingchun sat down to discuss Taoism and talked in detail about "education without distinction".

Taking "education without distinction" as the entry point, we must at least have a sufficient understanding of "education without distinction".

Su Qingchun had a very thorough understanding of this basic knowledge of Confucianism and Taoism, and he shared his understanding bit by bit with Li Xiuchang.

He used to be a teacher. Now when he starts teaching, his face becomes more serious involuntarily, and his tone of voice becomes high-pitched, as if he is a teacher:

"Teaching without distinction actually has two meanings. This first meaning is also what most people understand."

Having said this, he subconsciously looked at Li Xiuchang and stopped.

Li Xiuchang met Su Qingchun's gaze, as if a teacher suddenly asked a question in class. He couldn't help laughing, but he still answered:

"The first level should be the literal meaning, that is, everyone should have the right to education."

Su Qingchun came to his senses in a daze at this time and knew that he had lost his composure. He is no longer the teacher in that school, and Li Xiuchang is no longer his student, but his boss.

He nodded awkwardly and said: "The boss is right, that's pretty much what he meant. The Confucian sage believed that education should treat everyone equally regardless of high or low, rich or poor, wise or foolish."

Li Xiuchang deliberately made a point and asked: "I can understand that there is no distinction between rich and poor, but the wise and the foolish still have to be distinguished, right? Some people just can't learn, how can they force education?"

For example, the idiot Tianjiao mentioned by Senior Brother Song Yu couldn't even get in the secrets of preaching, so how can he be educated?

Su Qingchun said: "So the sage also said that students should be taught in accordance with their aptitude, and different education methods should be used to teach different knowledge to different people."

Li Xiuchang nodded and did not dwell on this issue. He asked, "You said that there is a second explanation for 'there is no distinction between education'. What is it?"

Su Qingchun explained: "I just mentioned that people are divided into high and low, rich and poor, wise and foolish, which shows that people are originally classified and there is a huge gap between people, but this gap can be narrowed or even eliminated through education. , there is no class without education.”

"Isn't this a kind of equality?" Li Xiuchang's eyes shone, and he felt that this Confucianism was just a layer of equality.

"Like, so similar!"

"If the Tao of Equality and Confucianism grow to the same level, who can still distinguish between these two avenues?"

The first level of explanation of "education without distinction" is about "all living beings are equal".

The second level of explanation is to "turn all inequality into equality."

Aren’t these the two cores of the Tao of Equality!

Li Xiuchang became more confident in integrating Confucianism and Taoism.

Next, the two started to talk about Confucianism and Taoism, starting from "Education without distinction". Su Qingchun was mainly talking and Li Xiuchang was listening.

Li Xiuchang occasionally spoke, basically to "make arguments."

However, he did not deliberately seek trouble. This is the Tao. A perfect Tao is not afraid of making excuses or having loopholes found.

Li Xiuchang was like a sponge, absorbing knowledge at an astonishing speed, and quickly absorbed a lot of Confucianism and Taoism.

After that, he let Su Qingchun practice on his own, while he stood in front of a wordless stele, entered it with his spiritual consciousness, and observed the origin of Confucianism and Taoism.

If Li Xiuchang's equality is a firefly, then the Confucianism and Taoism at its peak is not to say the sun in the sky, but at least a bright moon.

A grain of light dare not compete with the bright moon, let alone want to swallow the moon, but the current Confucianism and Taoism are no longer as glorious as before.

What was sealed in the wordless stele was originally the broken origin of Confucianism and Taoism, which was incomplete.

Moreover, this broken origin was divided into twelve parts, which were sealed in twelve stone tablets respectively.

This made it more than a hundred times easier for Li Xiuchang to integrate the origin of Confucianism and Taoism, so he dared to have the idea of ​​annexing Confucianism and Taoism.

Taking "teaching without distinction" as the starting point, Li Xiuchang saw the origin of Confucianism and Taoism sealed in the stele very smoothly.

This shows that he has been recognized by Confucianism and Taoism, otherwise, outside the origin world, the great way is difficult to materialize, and it is difficult to observe the origin of the great way.

In the early stage, Li Xiuchang was very sensible. He equalized his own equal way to Confucianism and then comprehended the origin of Confucianism.

After he nibbled away at the origin of Confucianism bit by bit, he equalized Confucianism to equal way and annexed it directly!

His equal way is so flexible that it can be used as both Buddhism and Confucianism.

"Twelve stone tablets without words mean that I have to annex all the origins of Confucianism in twelve times."

"According to my current speed of comprehending Confucianism, it will take a long time to integrate all the origins of Confucianism in the twelve stone tablets."

Li Xiuchang thought about it and gave one of the stone tablets to Su Qingchun, asking him to be responsible for integrating and absorbing the origin of Confucianism in one stone tablet.

When Su Qingchun merges with the Tao in the future, his great way will be directly integrated into the origin of Li Xiuchang's equal way, which is almost the same as Li Xiuchang's direct integration.

The key is that it can save a lot of time.

Su Qingchun was extremely excited and a little bit unbelievable: "Boss, can I really integrate this origin?"

This is the origin of the great way left by the Confucian Saint. Of course he knows what this means!

Even if it is just the origin of Confucianism and Taoism in a stone tablet, as long as he can understand it thoroughly, he will have no pressure to ascend to become a ghost fairy.

"Okay." Li Xiuchang nodded, without saying much, saying too much will shorten his life.

"I will start to comprehend from the first stone tablet, and you can start from the twelfth stone tablet."

It is very simple to sort the stone tablets. The stone tablet erected by the Confucian Saint's eldest disciple is the first one, the tablet erected by the second disciple is the second one, and so on...

If Su Qingchun comprehends quickly enough, Li Xiuchang will allocate more stone tablets to him.

Li Xiuchang left his second soul clone here to comprehend the origin of Confucianism and Taoism in the first stone tablet.

It is a pity that Confucianism and Taoism cannot be equated with Buddhism at present, otherwise the dream pill can be used to accelerate the comprehension.

For a long time in the future, Li Xiuchang's second soul clone and Su Qingchun will stay here for a long time to comprehend the Tao.

…

After several days of trekking, Li Xiuchang returned to Donggeng District through the teleportation array.

Originally, he wanted to teleport directly to the Dark Heaven Realm and go to the lower realm of the Dark Heaven Realm to transcend the tribulation and ascend once, but when he came back, he found that Senior Brother Song Yu sent him several messages.

“It turned out that the stupid Tianjiao sent it to me.”

In the message, Senior Brother Song Yu also directly explained the reason. He had previously asked Li Xiuchang for a job to settle the stupid Tianjiao.

Li Xiuchang immediately replied and asked: “Where is Senior Brother now?”

Song Yu immediately replied: “Please go to the sect market, and I will take him there now.”

“Okay, then see you at Danxiang Tower.”

Li Xiuchang put away his identity token, took out his luxurious flying boat, and flew directly out of the sect.

Now that he has money, everyone in the sect knows it, there is no need to fly slowly on the abalone flying boat. Being too low-key is also a kind of high-profile.

Shortly after flying out of Donggeng District, a disciple stopped him on a flying sword: "Junior brother, you are speeding."

Li Xiuchang casually took out a bag of spirit stones and threw it over: "Senior brother, put the extra spirit stones in my Donggeng District account."

The law enforcement disciple didn't say much, nodded, counted the number of spirit stones very calmly, and then recorded it.

Many bigwigs in the sect are like this, first deposit a fine in the law enforcement hall, specifically used to pay speeding fines.

Nowadays are different from the past. Li Xiuchang has too many spirit stones to spend, and spending money to buy some privileges is nothing.

He didn't want Senior Brother Song Yu to wait any longer, so the flying boat accelerated and arrived at Danxiang Tower in a blink of an eye, but Senior Brother Song Yu hadn't arrived yet.

Li Xiuchang waited in Danxiang Tower for a few minutes, and saw Senior Brother Song Yu followed by an old man and a child.

The old man was estimated to be in his seventies or eighties, hunched over, and was a mortal without cultivation.

The child looked about six or seven years old, with a chubby face and a serious face, like a little adult.

"It's worthy of being a congenital holy body!" Li Xiuchang glanced at the child and was secretly amazed.

He has now reached the stage of Hedao, and his eyes are sharp. He can see at a glance that this child is extraordinary. He has a natural charm in his body, and his blood is like a spring. Upon closer inspection, the Dao charm of his body emerges from time to time, and the spiritual energy becomes lively when it touches his body.

This shows that the Tao and the spiritual energy are very friendly to him.

He is really born with a seed of cultivation!

With this physique, no matter which Taoist school he practices, he will definitely achieve something!

Of course, there is no absolute in the world... Such a genius was kicked out by the Xianchen Sect.

The Xianchen Sect is a big family with a big business, and it doesn't care about having another idle person, but it is precisely because of the big family and big business that it needs to follow the rules.

A person who has no cultivation and cannot enter the practice, no matter how talented he is, cannot retain the status of a formal disciple.

At his age, it is impossible for him to be a errand disciple.

And even if he is a errand disciple, he will be eliminated if he cannot practice for a few years.

Song Yu introduced Li Xiuchang: "This is the little junior brother I told you about before, named Yang Hao."

"This is your senior brother Li Xiuchang, call him senior brother."

The little brat was very obedient and called in a muffled voice: "Senior Brother Li."

Song Yu introduced the old man to Li Xiuchang: "This is the village chief of Yang Hao's village..."

Yang Hao has no father or mother, and he can live to this day thanks to the care of this village chief.

The old man stepped forward and bent his legs to kneel down to Li Xiuchang. Li Xiuchang was quick and quickly supported him.

"Old man, there is no need to do this."

"This immortal, you are a good person. Hao'er is a poor kid. I have always treated him as my grandson, but I am old and can't raise him, let alone protect him. He is born to be an immortal. If he stays in the village, he will attract evil spirits. Only by staying in your immortal place can he save his life..."

Li Xiuchang was stunned and understood.

Yes, he was born with a holy body, but he can't practice. Isn't this a perfect body for taking over!

If he is discovered by someone with bad intentions, he will take over Yang Hao's body even if he lowers his cultivation!

That's why Senior Brother Song Yu insisted on finding a job for Yang Hao in the Xianchen Sect Market, not only to give him a meal, but also to save his life!

"Hao'er is an obedient and sensible child. You can tell him what to do. If he does something wrong, you should beat him or scold him without hesitation..."

The old man talked a lot, and Li Xiuchang just listened patiently.

Finally, the old man muttered to himself: "Hao'er is not stupid, he is just too kind, sooner or later, he will have a promising future."

"Old man, don't worry, Yang Hao is entrusted by Senior Brother Song, and he calls me Senior Brother. If nothing else, I can at least ensure that he grows up safely in this Xianchen Sect Market." Li Xiuchang promised.

"Thank you, Immortal, your words are enough!" The old man wanted to kneel down again, but was supported by Li Xiuchang and had to give up.

Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Yang Hao: "Listen to your Senior Brother Li in the future!"

Senior Brother Song Yu sent the old village chief away, leaving only Yang Hao, whose eyes were slightly red and silent, and Li Xiuchang.

Li Xiuchang asked: "What can you do?"

Yang Hao raised his head and answered: "I can count."
