The mountain trails are narrow and rugged.
Under the guidance of Zong Xuan, a group of people arrived at the bottom of a cliff, and saw a stone step extending upwards close to the cliff.
Jin Kongyan looked up and couldn't help sighing: "I never thought there would be such a hidden manor near Luodu, and the Tianji Pavilion, one of the biggest secrets in the world, is hidden near Luodu..."
"The great hermit hides in the court." Heng Wantong said indifferently: "The most powerful disciples of Tianji Pavilion in each generation can appear in the court hall, influence the court situation, and then influence the thoughts of people in the world."
Jin Kongyan was suddenly happy, and turned to Zong Xuan who was at the front and asked: "By the way, boy Zong, I have never heard that your Tianji Pavilion has any theories to promote, but what is the reason for making such a big noise in Tianji Pavilion? If one day, you rule the world, what purpose do you want to achieve?"
Zong Xuan said indifferently: "Yin and Yang ebb and flow, and the five elements shift. Self-proclaimed laws, true feelings and true nature."
Everyone was taken aback.
"Are you from the Yin Yang family?" Heng Wantong asked.
"There is also the thought of Legalism." Jin Kongyan added.
Duan Juncheng said: "The true feelings and true nature are not the essence of Taoism?"
"So it doesn't appear that Tianji Pavilion has any unusual thoughts, but what are you all trying to do?" Heng Wantong asked, scratching the back of his head.
Zong Xuan smiled coldly and said, "Anti-interpretation, anti-Taoism, anti-Confucianism...how is it not a heresy?"
"Sakyamuni Buddhism pays attention to the awakening of the true self, but this 'true self' is not the true temperament, the free and easy self, but the precepts first, and the Buddhist precepts are the strictest. It is like putting a mold on the body of a newborn child , grow into the appearance of a 'Buddha'. In the view of Tianji Pavilion, thousands of people should have thousands of personalities. It is most contrary to human nature to insist on cultivating the appearance of an eminent monk. Therefore, The first one against Tianji Pavilion is the Shi family."
"Taoism is the most true temperament, but it loses restraint and is too independent. Tianji Pavilion pays attention to the "self-identity and law" must be before the "true feelings and authenticity". The reincarnation of heaven, the ebb and flow of yin and yang, and the transfer of the five elements all have certain laws. People, You should find your own position, position it accurately, and be unrestrained and unrestrained. If you like farming, you should study farming, if you like craftsmanship, you should study craftsmanship, if you like martial arts, you should study martial arts... You will not harass others. You can also get the greatest freedom and achieve the greatest individual. Taoism is too indulgent and self-centered. If the world is harmonious, you can rest and recuperate. If the world is chaotic, you will not be able to set things right."
"The hypocrisy of Confucianism conceals people's true temperament. A gentleman of Confucianism must do three things: if you look good, you will be far away from violence and slow; The most hypocritical."
The three Hengwantong looked at each other.
Jin Kongyanqi asked: "What's the hypocrisy of this sentence? Zeng Zi is also a Confucian sage. What he said means to keep people solemn, upright, and away from rudeness. This is the virtue of a gentleman, but it is to persuade people to be good. right way."
"The righteous way? It's the way of hypocrisy." Zong Xuan said with a sneer, "This Master Zeng said: First, you must always maintain a solemn and serious appearance. In this way, you can avoid yourself from making rough and presumptuous actions; second. Second, keep a serious face at all times, so that you can be trusted easily, and you are close to honesty; third, keep your words cautious, so that you can avoid acting Doing rough and unreasonable things. Whoever achieves these three points is a gentleman? If a person’s true temperament can be like this, then there is nothing to say. But in fact, from ancient times to the present, there are few people who can fully achieve it.”
"Confucianism is a school of utilitarianism. It tells everyone that if you want to gain fame and fortune, you must become a gentleman. If you can't meet the requirements of a gentleman, what should you do? It's very simple, pretend!"
"If a person can't make his 'true self' serious, dignified, and gentle, then he can pretend to be like this! You can still be recognized by everyone. To be an official, a hero, a name, and a profit, as long as Acting well enough, pretending enough, everything can be obtained, how relaxed and comfortable. So in this world, true gentlemen are hard to find, but hypocrites are everywhere. Therefore, anti-Confucianism is the biggest core value of Tianji Pavilion."
Heng Wantong and Jin Kongyan were dumbfounded, this was the first time they had heard of this theory.
On the contrary, the uneducated Duan Juncheng nodded, and said slowly: "It sounds reasonable to hear what you said. In this world, there are too many hypocrites who deserve to be killed. But your theory is good, why don't you promote it?"
"The first ancestor of Tianji Pavilion also used this theory to lobby the nations, but it is a pity that it was suppressed by the three factions everywhere. People either believe in hypocritical moral models, or their human nature is lazy and pin their hopes on the afterlife, or they still become interests. Those who get it are unwilling to change... The first ancestor bumped into walls everywhere, was even framed by others, and almost died. After that, the first ancestor came to a conclusion that the world is ignorant, copying what others say, and should not be taught by ordinary means, but should be deceived with a more hypocritical appearance After the believers follow blindly and the world returns to their hearts, then raise their arms and shout out, ridicule wantonly, shock the hearts of the people with the upheaval of thunderbolts, and then reflect on their own stupidity, and then accept my teachings."
To put it bluntly, don’t you believe in those hypocrites? Okay, others are hypocritical, I am even more hypocritical, others are treacherous, I am even more treacherous, and when the people are deceived into selling themselves and helping count the money, then tell the truth to the other party, wake up the world with a big mouth, tell them, I am Those who lied to you, who made you stupid, deserve it!
Arouse the anger of the common people, so as to reflect on their own stupid behavior, so as to wake up.
The three of Hengwantong were speechless.
After a full quarter of an hour, Jin Kongyan murmured: "Extreme."
But it still can't refute the other party's thinking is wrong.
To put it bluntly, the people in Tianji Pavilion are a group of angry youths with high IQs. Because of their anger, they resort to extreme means to do what they think is right. They use unscrupulous means, but when they execute them, they are cold and calm, which is extremely contradictory. .
The four were speechless.
After a while, the peak turned around, and a 20-foot-high mirror-like stone wall appeared in front of my eyes, with four huge characters on it, "Operating the secrets of heaven".
Even the will of the heavens can be planned, and the Tianji Pavilion is really crazy.
The four of them took a deep breath in unison, tried their best to calm down their injustice, then held their heads high and chest out, and strode up the stone steps.
At the end of the stone steps is a majestic and tall archway.
When everyone came here, they couldn't help but gasp.
It turns out that Qiongshan Mountain, which looks like a whole mountain from a distance, unexpectedly has a bottomless gap in the middle. It was as if a mountain was split in half by a knife and an axe, and the black abyss was violently gale, so violent that even a master of heaven would change his face drastically when he saw it.
The archway stands on the edge of the cliff, a stone bridge spans twenty feet, connecting the opposite mountain peak, and a grand stone castle is in front of you.
Tianji Pavilion has arrived.
