People in Jiejiao, Plague God Lu Yue

Chapter 517 Discussing Taoism with Shennong: Am I narrow-minded?

"Friend Kong Daoyou respects rituals and worships Taoism. He is a saint destined by heaven. Yuanshi Tianzun made the right move." Lu Yue changed the subject and looked at Confucius over the long river of time.

There are only one and a half saints.

The doctrine of Confucius is the only one that has been recorded and passed down by mankind. Even Lu Yue cannot compare with him. His doctrine is about cultivation and strength, not about academic knowledge.

With a long history!

The Confucian way is actually the most suitable way for human beings to operate. Although it has no luck and its practice is shallow, the Confucian way is better than Taoism and the various schools of thought.

Still better.

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord."

Lu Yue smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's not what I thought, it's your own ability. Stay in the Jixia Academy, absorb the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, write books and establish your doctrines. You should become a saint in this era."

What do we emphasize when we lack something?
It was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there were constant wars and chaos, which provided the opportunity for the rise of Confucianism. If it were at a different time, it might have taken some time.

There is an old saying: "If you stand in the right place, even pigs can fly."

Confucianism: The core lies in the doctrine of the mean.

If you don’t have enough from the top, take more than enough from the bottom, and choose the middle!

Nothing in the world is more like this.

at the same time.

Lu Yue also met some disciples of Jiejiao, such as Guiguzi who was elusive, the Legalists who were strict in order, and the Military Strategists who were good at stopping wars. He learned from them one by one and perfected his own theories.

The so-called dragon-slaying skills learned were sold to the imperial family.

An incarnation of Lu Yue went directly to the Qin State and transformed into a child, playing chess with his grandfather.

As for the incarnation of Ziwei, he continued to be a sweeping monk in the Jixia Academy. He did not place any bets in advance on the Hundred Schools of Thought, as the various schools of thought were currently arguing with each other.

No one convinced the other.

Shang Yang, a legalist, traveled around the countries and established a brand new imperial court. He used strict laws to restrain everyone. If the emperor broke the law, he would be punished the same as the common people. Pillars would be erected at the city gates and a reward of 100 gold coins would be given.

Gradually establish a reputation.

Confucius traveled around the countries and saw the sufferings of the people. He was followed by three thousand disciples who traveled with him. Then he returned to the Jixia Academy in a grand manner to compile the Confucian classics.

The military strategist Sun Bin destroyed a country with just a wave of his hand.

The Mohist mechanical technology creates natural barriers to defend against foreign attacks.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countless heroes were born, and countless talented and knowledgeable people were reincarnated and became great sages of the human race.

Among them there are also some great immortals who want to gain a cause and effect in the human world, and have good fortune added to them, just like Lu Yue when he was conferred the title of deity, every step is linked to the critical moment.

Jump up.

Lu Yue saw all of this, but did not stop it. The holy position of the Heavenly Dao is available to everyone, and it would be against humaneness if they were to take the initiative to eliminate them.

Time passes quietly.

At the Jixia Academy, Lu Yue met Shennong, one of the Three Sovereigns, who was dressed as a farmer. Shennong was dressed as a skinny and dark old man with a sickle hanging around his waist.

With a complicated look, he said, "Daoist Lü Yue, we meet again."

Lu Yue handed the tea in his hand to the old man Shennong and said leisurely, "Old man Shennong, do you also want the Hongmeng purple energy?"

"nature."

Shennong took a sip of tea, looked at the sky and said: "Ever since you split the luck of Huoyun Cave into two, the luck of Huoyun Cave has plummeted. Many sages of the human race have had to reincarnate. As the Emperor of the Earth, I cannot watch Huoyun Cave dissipate." "After all, we suppress the luck of the human race."

Lu Yue nodded, looked at Shennong, and said: "I'm afraid it won't be as you wish. The saints in the heavens will not allow you to refine the Hongmeng purple energy, not to mention that the agricultural way you passed down is the way of the common people.

Although it benefits all living beings, for the saints who are high above, people! It's just a number, or it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a bonus, even if you protect all the people and they all have food to eat.

It is not as good as their spiritual pursuits. "

"Fellow Daoist Shennong, although eating is an essential part of life, have you ever thought about what they are thinking about after they have eaten?"

"Human desires are endless!"

“Once you get one thing, you want more.”

Shennong nodded and said, "But I only know how to farm and save people. As for the great principles you mentioned, I understand them. I just hope that everyone can have enough food. As for their spiritual pursuits, whether they are seeking immortality or pursuing the spiritual world, it is the same to me."

Lu Yue was somewhat moved when he heard this. Perhaps it was because of the existence of earth emperors like Shennong that humanity could continue to thrive. Even though it was suppressed by the laws of nature, it still had a vibrant vitality.

Resisting the erosion of heaven.

He said respectfully: "In this case, I hope Taoist Shennong will get what he wants."

Shennong put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the Jixia Academy, and saw that each room was filled with bamboo slips. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you."

"A hundred schools of thought contend, this is another major trend!"

"As the Emperor of Earth, I have no choice but to fight for it. But what you said makes sense. I have no advantage in front of the saints. I will follow you in the Jixia Academy to extract the essence of the various schools of thought and pass it down from generation to generation as the shining pearl of humanity. What do you think?"

"good."

Lu Yue smiled and nodded. Shennong was not actually that eager to fight for the Hongmeng Purple Qi. He also knew the resistance he would encounter. The Hongmeng Purple Qi would only appear among the three religions of Xuanmen.

He was just casually placing a chess piece.

If you win, everyone is happy. If you lose, it doesn't matter.

That's why he is leisurely drinking tea with Lu Yue here. At the same time, he also wants to see the theories founded by various schools of thought and how they have changed the direction of the human race. That's why he wants to look at the great sages of the human race, just like Lu Yue.

“Fellow Daoist Lu Yue, some of the great sages of the human race are the reincarnations of Huoyun Cave. I hope you can show leniency to them.” Taoist Shennong stood up.

He picked up the bamboo slips that fell on the ground and wiped the dust off them, looking a little unnatural.

"Daoyou filtered it."

"Although the contention of a hundred schools of thought is an impact on the Heavenly Dao Saint, it is only the final result. What is meaningful is the process. I will not attack any of the great sages."

Lu Yue assured.

"I!"

Shennong smiled sadly, pointed to the largest room in the Jixia Academy and said, "Confucius is a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. He asked questions with courtesy, which was to continue Yuanshi Tianzun's teachings. He obeyed the will of heaven and observed etiquette. Don't you have any ill will towards him?

If he becomes a saint, then the Chan sect will have two saints in the same sky, and will be invincible in the prehistoric world. "

In response to Shennong's test, Lu Yue said calmly: "The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are the time for him to show his strength. Why should I attack him? Is it just because he is not my disciple of Jiejiao?"

“I’m not that narrow-minded.”

Lu Yue smiled and shook his head. The rise of Confucianism was the trend of humanity. He would not be stubborn because he could directly compete with it. However, the time for Confucianism to flourish was in a peaceful and prosperous era.

Not suitable for troubled times.

In troubled times, important codes should be used.

The reason why Lu Yue said that he had the opportunity to become a saint was that he was looking at the problem from the perspective of an observer?
