Chapter 180: Theory of Tao (Part 1)
After the banquet was over, night had slowly come. Fang Xin thought about it and then looked at Xiao Bing.
There was a connection between the inner courtyard. Fang Xin went out and accompanied by several guards, he walked slowly along the path in the garden, passed through a bamboo forest, and entered a pavilion.
Fang Xin went up the steps, and the guards went in to check first, and then withdrew after a moment, spreading outside.
After a while, Xiao Bing entered the hall and looked at the house where he lived in the future. Although the house was not as good as the old lady and the four wives, it was also a two-story building, and the surrounding wing rooms were where the maids lived.
The maid obediently stepped forward to serve tea and retreated. The hall immediately became silent. Xiao Bing looked at it and saw a man who looked about thirty years old. His skin was as white as snow and his eyebrows were thick. Sitting there, he felt an extraordinary oppressive force.
But this man seemed so strange that he came over and saw only a familiar look in his eyes.
Fang Xin looked over and saw that she was a little confused, so he sighed secretly.
Fang Xin stepped forward, held her in his arms, and put her waist with the other hand. Although Xiao Bing did not resist, his body immediately became stiff, and he seemed to be quite uncomfortable.
"Why, aren't you used to it?"
"Well, I'm not used to it. A strange world, a strange family, a strange body!" Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, and said with a "sneer", smelled it, and said, "Only the breath on his body is still familiar."
Not to mention the fifth level, even the fourth level, no matter where the reincarnation is, as long as the spiritual consciousness is immortal, the breath will be the same.
Fang Xin heard this and thoughtfully said, "Oh!"
He stood up and thought about it, and said, "Bingbing, do you know why I have made such rapid progress, and why can I reach this level in this plane?"
Xiao Bing had a question about this, but now when he heard it, he looked over.
"Well, let me simply divide it. All plane worlds have their own ways of circulation, stability and change. If we regard the plane world as a person, then we humans, or other lives, are just microorganisms that are parasitic in this person. Some worlds have strict control over microorganisms, while others have relatively loose control over microorganisms. However, no matter what, foreign microorganisms, since they have reached the new plane world, will be noticed by phagocytes before they are assimilated. If they are hidden and only slightly modified in detail, they can be barely tolerated. If it expands rapidly, it is like the rapid spread of foreign bacteria, which will naturally cause the entire rejection system, which is undoubtedly a dead end." Fang Xin said in general.
As soon as these two points were said, Xiao Bing nodded immediately. The plane exploration instrument had been invented for fifty years and had proved this profoundly. She pondered for a moment and asked again: "How to avoid repulsion?"
"This is just a metaphor for the human body. Bingbing, you also know that some bacteria in the human body are benign and are essential for digestion, operation, synthesis, absorption, etc., and benign bacteria can also inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. In fact, the way of planes is to benign bacteria, in other words, earn merits and gradually gain recognition of planes." Fang Xin did not hide anything from her and said directly: "Many of our drugs, essentially, are benign bacteria, and the human body does not reject them. This is the reason."
"This is merit. Not only can it be used in this world, but it is even the same in other worlds." Fang Xin said this, and even directly showed his fundamentals: "I will make rapid progress and benefit from this. You will know what benefits are there in the future."
Xiao Bing looked up at his eyes and saw a pearl in front of him, blooming in the sky, with a ball of purple aura of five feet in a radius, rotating around, from top to bottom, and hanging down countless fine lights, with the colorful and five elements. It was really shimmering and colorful, which made her dazzled.
"Ah!" With this scene, although it was simple, Xiao Bing immediately realized it, and when he remembered his husband's process in this world, it became even more clear.
Although the road is simple, if you don’t point it out, you will not be able to clearly grasp the pulse. This is the so-called true teaching.
"This is a personal way. As for the way of reform, Bingbing, if there is a bacteria that can improve your body's function several times, but the price is to lose your independent mind, are you willing?"
"Of course I don't want to." Xiao Bing replied.
"Since that's the case, reform is the same. Each plane has its own independent thoughts that have been formed over the past tens of millions of years. Perhaps you can call it the will of heaven, and the plane evolution is based on a certain trajectory. If you directly spread the ideas and technology of our world, what would happen?" Fang Xin said seriously: "The result is very obvious. This plane's original civilization disappeared, and foreign civilizations took over the body, which eventually made this plane lose its independence. In fact, it disappeared and became a powerful zombie - who would be willing to die?"
"So, if you instill technology and civilization directly, you will be hit by the plane's will, for fear that not only will the body be destroyed, but even the soul will be killed quickly. Therefore, even if you want to guide the plane to progress, you must extend it based on the original civilization and must not be too advanced."
"I wrote the Six Books of Li, and I actually prescribed a prescription for this plane. However, it is actually the strengthening of civilization and thoughts that originally existed in this plane. It is not unique, nor is it direct institutional and technological reforms. Therefore, it is recognized by the plane. It has the opportunity to become the Human Emperor this time. Even so, I am just a guide, not a teacher. My task is to create conditions within the allowed scope and think that the Tao will be enlightened forever." Speaking of this, Fang Xin's aura gradually became ethereal, and seemed to be everywhere, in line with this world.
Fang Xin took out the pen, took the best scroll, and spread it onto the table.
Xiao Bing automatically stepped forward and took the inkstone to grind it carefully.
At that time, this paper, inkstone and stroke are naturally exquisite. After grinding the ink, Fang Xin smiled and dipped it in thick ink. He wrote: "I dare not be the first in the world, so I can become a talented person."
When Xiao Bing saw these ten words, his thoughts were surging. Fang Xin could have the status and strength of today. Of course, the foundation was that he could not live without many things, but the fundamental reason was that he could understand the truth and transform his life and death.
The paper is very good. In these ten words, the spirit is gentle in the turning point. Fang Xin smiled slightly and continued to write: "It is not because of his selflessness, but because of his own selfishness."
"The sage always has no intention, and takes the heart of the people as its heart."
Finally, Fang Xin thought about it and wrote eight words: "The way of sages moves with the world!"
After writing, Fang Xin said, "I don't know if the sages meant this, but it is indeed one of the Taoisms I have now understood, as well as plane exploration, transformation, and improvement, all in these lines of words."
"Confucianism talks about the key to humanity, benevolence and etiquette. Benevolent loves others, and etiquette is extremely good. Being able to hold this heart should be the general outline of the human emperor's governance of the world and can become the real human emperor."
"Man enters the way, but there is what the above said, this is the perfection of humanity and the way of heaven."
Fang Xin looked at Xiao Bing and said slowly, there was no concealment. If she wanted to catch up with him, she would have to obtain an unobstructed way, but sadness appeared in her heart.
Confucianism, if someone really can love others and rituals are the control, the "benevolence is the greatness of benevolence" is naturally included, and there is no need for Fangxin to focus on it. However, for thousands of years on earth, this true meaning has been downgraded and used, and finally it has become a tool for the king, the ministers, the three pillars and five constants, and the rituals to kill people.
As for the Tao Te Ching, if you do not stand at the height of the enlightened person, you cannot understand the true meaning of it at all. Even if you understand one or two, it will become a specious explanation.
If Tao is not necessary, it will not increase a little, nor will it decrease a little. People regard it as the morality of the world and governing the country. Although it is not impossible, it is already far from the same.
Such a vast and profound Tao that has insight into the truth of the universe has been abandoned by the descendants of China. This is not the way to abandon people, but people abandon their own Tao!
Of course, the sages may have shortcomings before, but later generations should make up for it. Only by having this mind can one seek the Tao.
"Bingbing, are you choosing to stay in my palace and be awarded one of the four concubines, or are you planning to be awarded a princess and go out?" After saying this, Fang Xin asked.
"I chose to go out so that I can get recognition from the plane." Xiao Bing was not a fool. He immediately knew what Fang Xin meant. He was protected by Fang Xin. Although he could go with him, he became a pure vassal.
Only by leaving heaven and earth can one obtain recognition of the plane by oneself according to this principle and accumulate strength.
"Yeah, very good. In fact, I really have something to hand it over to you!" At this point, Fang Xin finally picked up the pen and wrote: "Tao is enlightenment!"
Seeing that Xiao Bing was a little confused, he explained: "Now the Commerce Department has gathered many foreign businessmen, and it is necessary for someone who has enough weight and understands the two aspects to preside over it. Bingbing, you are the most appropriate, and you can gain a lot of merit by this!"
"The Taoist is also very knowledgeable. In fact, to my point, there is no obstacle. The civilization of this world, whether it is technology or literacy, has reached a critical point. What is lacking now is just opening up the road of industry and commerce." Fang Xin said leisurely: "It is difficult to draw a road, whether it is difficult to say it, it is easy to say it, it is nothing more than two words - benefits!"
Seeing that Xiao Bing was still a little confused, he had to explain: "Don't say that the scholars and officials do not talk about their interests, they are cruel to protect their own interests! You should be clear about the resistance caused by controlling the merger and spreading the stakes to the acres - control their mergers and collecting taxes on them, and they have to punish them, and they will be punished quickly after the killing, let alone other things?"
"So, it is easy to open up the channels of industry and commerce and never regress. It is easy to say that from business to official positions, from work to title, and from people to people - from business to official positions is very simple. Your business department has established its contributions and I was awarded an official position. Although the gap is very small, it opened this road."
"It is even simpler to get from a job and a title. If anyone invents it in the future, it can improve industry and agriculture, I will just be able to give it a title."
"It is even simpler to achieve it according to others. It is nothing more than building a bureaucratic capital first, so that the literati and bureaucratic class can know the benefits of industry and commerce, so they will naturally become supporters and protectors." Fang Xin said simply: "Of course, there is a problem of proportion. Now, it is basically the case that the official official is not a businessman, and the business official is not a good man."
