Chapter 98: Confluence of Confucianism and Taoism
Li Xuandu frowned after hearing this.
The palace official closed the folding fan in his hand and pointed to the opposite side of the table. Li Xuan was very interested, and the two sat opposite each other across the table.
"Although I have never taken action personally, it is impossible to say that I have nothing to do with this matter." The palace official showed a cunning look on his face and said, "Actually, it was me who instructed others to do it. This is the second thing I want to say. Please see a good show."
If Li Xuandu’s previous personality was, he would probably have left after hearing this, but unfortunately, the situation is stronger than others now, and Li Xuan is no longer the invincible Zifu Sword Immortal in the past. He should bow his head when it is time to bow.
Seeing that Li Xuan was silent, the palace official couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to know what a good show?"
Li Xuandu shook his head.
The palace official frowned and said to himself, "It seems that I was throwing my eyes at the blind man and being self-indulgent."
Such a delicate beauty, if she says such words, if she is someone else, she will be broken. It is not her own fault or her own fault. She wishes to take out her heart and show the beauty in front of her.
However, Li Xuan always sat upright, without looking sideways, and did not feel any fluctuations in his mood due to the joy and anger of the woman. If it weren't for this, he would not have been able to get to where he was today. If he saw a beautiful woman, he would be distracted. Then during the Battle of the Imperial Capital, wouldn't he have to lose early in the battle against two stunning women, Su Yunxian and Yu Qingning? Even in the last battle with Yu Qingning, he felt a little distracted and would die under the "Nine Heavens Xuanyin".
Compared to Li Xuandu's like facing a great enemy, the palace officials should be much more relaxed, constantly opening and closing the folding fan in their hands, and there was a faint fragrance on the fan.
Xuan Shengji of the Pinniao Sect is not in the city of Xijing or at the mountain gate of the Pinniao Sect, but he has come to this Ping'an County from thousands of miles away. No one knows what she is selling in her gourd. In fact, there are many speculations, including several insiders from the Pinniao Sect. They do not think that she is just looking for the Long family to take revenge. They must have deeper considerations, or use this to target the Jing Zen School behind Long family, and they want to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. Or use this layout, with unknown plans, grass snakes, gray lines, and veins that are hidden thousands of miles away.
As everyone knows, women of the Female Sect, especially Guang Miaoji and Xuan Shengji, are all people who make contributions to the mind and plan. They never do that useless work and have learned the essence of the ten ancestors.
This is an obvious fact among the world.
Therefore, including Li Xuan, no one thought that this Xuan Shengji was simple-minded and was just a move to vent his anger.
The two of them were silent for a long time. Li Xuan saw that the palace official had opened and closed the folding fan in his hand twelve times, but still had no intention of speaking. He could only ask: "Miss Gong, please speak out in everything. Don't play the mute puzzle. It's really that Li is not good at this."
The palace official still didn't say anything, but instead looked at Li Xuandu carefully.
Compared to the last time the two met, Li Xuan now has less sharpness and a little more elegant. This aroused a lot of interest from the palace officials. Nowadays, there are more people in the world who have cultivating their strength but not the mind. The former Zifu Sword Immortal was also regarded as this type of person. But when I see you today, I found that the person in front of me was very different from what she imagined, just like a long sword with cold light and murderous intentions slowly entered into the sheath, and no longer saw the sharpness. For a master of swordsmanship, it is easy to endure pain and it is difficult to endure it. After drawing the sword, it is far more sophisticated than drawing the sword to kill people. This is similar to looking at a mountain whether it is a mountain to looking at a mountain or a mountain, which is very mysterious.
Could it be that in the past few years, he has been hiding and cultivating his mind?
If we talk about this skill in cultivating the mind, the three religions are the best, the Taoist tranquility and inaction, the Buddhist universal salvation of sentient beings, and the Confucianism's benevolence and righteousness, I wonder which path he is taking?
She also had some speculations about the origin of this Zifu Sword Immortal.
If he guessed correctly, he should be from the Taoist lineage. At the earliest, the Zifu Sword Immortal despised secular etiquette and rules, and pursued his own freedom and freedom. It is very consistent with the purpose of the Taoist lineage, and it has the meaning of "what do I have to worry about the rise and fall of the world?" Look at Li Xuandu's name, Xuandu Zifu is also closely related to Taoism.
However, looking at Li Xuandu's current Taoist meaning is much less, but it has some Confucianism and national justice. She doesn't know where these Confucianism come from, but she guessed that it is rumored that Li Xuandu has a very good relationship with Zhang Suqing, the leader of the four ministers of Gu Ming. Zhang Suqing is also the master of Confucianism in the world. Then the "Confucianism" in Li Xuandu is likely to be inherited from Zhang Suqing.
Confucianism advocates teaching by example. It seems that around the time of the Battle of Emperor Capital, the Zifu Sword Immortal, who followed Zhang Suqing, did benefit a lot.
Let’s put aside the Buddhist sects such as Jing Zen Buddhism. In fact, the righteous sects led by Zhengyi and the evil sects led by Wudao Sect both come from the Taoist lineage. The biggest difference between the two after respecting Confucianism is that the righteous sects advocate the convergence of Confucianism and Taoism, and even focus on Confucianism and Taoism as supplementary. Now Li Xuandu is showing such signs. As a person in the evil sect, the palace official does not recognize this. In her opinion, although the Confucianism and Taoism have similarities, it is more of a conflict. Confucianism likes to set rules for the world, but Taoism Xiaoyao wants to break free from these rules. The former Zifu Sword Immortal undoubtedly despised the rules and was transcended. To a certain extent, the Zifu Sword Immortal at that time was more inclined to be among the ten evil sects, but now he took the initiative to lock himself in these rules, which really made the palace official feel a little regretful.
People like Li Xuandu are all tough-minded people, and it is impossible for him to change his mind by just a few words. From this point of view, Zhang Suqing's ability to do this is probably not just as simple as teaching by words.
The palace official even had a bold guess, whether it was Zhang Suqing's death that made Li Xuan start to reexamine the truth under his feet? If there was no such battle in the imperial capital, would this Zifu Sword Immortal still despise the secular etiquette and rules and then be free in the world?
If this is true, it would be difficult to regain Li Xuandu's mind and nature back. This is what she hates most about Confucianism. To put it nicely, it is called sacrificing one's life for righteousness. To put it bluntly, it is to show you death, and to die at a suitable time, inspire people and inspire future generations.
Since ancient times, there has been only hardships and death. There is great terror between life and death. If you are not afraid of death, you can sacrifice your life. Who can block the way?
It is not unreasonable that Confucianism can become the orthodox world today.
The palace officials were full of thoughts, so they did not answer Li Xuandu's questions for a long time.
Li Xuan was not in a hurry to urge him, and after speaking once, he waited quietly.
After about a stick of incense, the palace official finally restrained his thoughts that were gradually spreading away and slowly spoke: "Actually, before coming here, I was thinking about a question: whether to just repay the grudges and slap the former benefactor to death with one palm."
"Although you must have an amazing teacher behind you, and friends like Zhang Luanshan, if you really kill you, you will inevitably cause great trouble, but when this thought comes to my mind, I still feel extremely tempting."
The beautiful girl looked at the young man opposite who was slightly bigger than her.
Her eyes were cold, and she threw away all the disguise, like a poisonous snake spitting out a snake's letter.
Li Xuandu looked at her calmly without fear.
Since the palace official said this, it is probably because he has no intention of killing, so why should he be afraid?
Sure enough, after a moment, the woman's cold eyes gradually became gentler, like a pool of spring water, with charming eyes like silk.
Li Xuan didn't say a word, but was still unmoved, just looking at her calmly.
The palace official suddenly burst into laughter, "You guessed it, I changed my mind later, not because I was afraid of something, but suddenly I wanted you to ask you something."
Li Xuandu spoke slowly, "Please speak."
The palace official whispered: "It's not too late to talk about it after you finish watching this big show."
After saying that, she stood up, looked at Li Xuandu deeply, and then left.
Li Xuandu always sat there, frowning.
This so-called drama is probably related to the current Long family.
He subconsciously glanced at the sky outside the door.
The black clouds are squeezing the city and are about to destroy it.
