Can you live forever

Chapter 134 Just in time for the meeting, there are bandits in the temple
The atmosphere of Daming can be seen most in these young princes and ladies.

On the surface, it is the rise of Yangming’s philosophy of mind that leads to the emancipation of the mind. People regard all rules as constraints, emphasizing their individuality and freedom, and the resulting diversified development cannot be described as blooming with a hundred flowers. It should be described as no taboos.

Therefore, the scholar-bureaucrats at the end of the Ming Dynasty blamed Wang Yangming for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, Liu Zongzhou, Huang Zongxi and others all criticized Lu Wang's mind theory. Wang Fuzhi even said: "There is a theory that directly points to people's perception of nature from heresy, but if Lu Zijing and Wang Bo'an adhere to it, they will be poor if they fall into it. It is not appropriate to move it."

They criticize Lu Wang's mind theory as the Buddhist school, which is the root cause of the chaos in the world.

Everyone talks about "nothing outside the heart" and pursues self, instead of doing practical things, so that in the late Ming Dynasty, facing the difficulties of the current situation, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty could only "have nothing to do with the difficulties, only the remaining Repay the king's kindness with one death."

Those thinkers in the late Ming Dynasty emphasized "merit and merit".

But the sum of the "work" of the five great thinkers is not as good as that of Wang Yangming alone, and they don't know where the "work" is emphasized, and how Ming died. Could they still find the reason from themselves?

As for the backward learning of the mind, it fell into the state of "mad Zen".

It can only be said that those people cannot be regarded as backward in the study of the mind, because they have not learned the study of the mind at all. After Wang Yangming, the person who has learned the study of the mind and practiced the unity of knowledge and action is Hai Rui.

Those who learned later wrote an article called "The Power of the Heart".

The level of mind learning is extremely high, because people who "have no self" can't learn it, and the level of mind learning is extremely low, because traffickers and pawns attract carts and pulp sellers, as long as they can "have me", they can learn it.

For the emancipation of the mind in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the study of the mind was just an introduction.

Many people hold the title of Xinxue, but they are not really backward in Xinxue. The "Hundred Flowers Blooming" in the late Ming Dynasty actually stemmed from the division of society, the lack of "faith", and the collapse of morality.

There is a word that can be summed up very well, and it is called - Li Beng Le Huai.

People have no morals, no rules, only themselves, only interests, hey, is this familiar, by the way, this is - capitalization.

Daming is not the budding of capitalism, but over-capitalized.

When Zhang Zhixiang chatted with Peng Xia and other scholars, he could clearly feel the "madness".

They said that Jiajing was very successful and aggressive, and Jianzhou Jurchen was also a citizen of my Ming Dynasty. Sweeping holes in Liting was purely indiscriminate killing of innocent people, a tyrant and a fool.

When Jiajing issued treasure notes, they said that this was Daxing monetary policy and exploiting the people.

The Jiajing Imperial Examination added a science subject, they said it was a strange skill and obscenity, cholera Wenzong.

In short, everything the emperor did was wrong.

Zhang Zhixiang couldn't help asking: "Then what is the right way for His Majesty?"

Peng Xia and others immediately said as a matter of course: "Of course, it is important to reuse the virtuous officials of Qingliu, revive the court, and get rid of treacherous officials. Zhang Cong, Gui E and others have no literati arrogance. In this way, the people are destitute, and the neighbors are devastated."

"..."

It's really great that the crowd is in full bloom, and Emperor Chongzhen clapped his hands in praise.

Zhang Zhixiang didn't debate anything. This is a common problem among scholars in this era. They don't understand many things, but they understand too much. They follow their own interests in everything they say and do.

"By the way, you said earlier that you admired Zhang Zhixiang. What does he have to admire?"

"Your Majesty gave Zhang Zhixiang the right to inquire about national policies, but he never used these powers in the court. Although he is in a high position, he also knows the depth, and he does not mess with His Majesty. respect."

"I see."

He didn't say a word about Dengwengu, only praised him for "no chaos in politics".

For a while, Zhang Zhixiang lost interest, and those people began to drink and compose poems. Zhang Zhixiang just drank on the sidelines and didn't participate. He didn't know how to write poems, let alone copy them.

After the car traveled more than ten miles, there was no good road to go.

A group of people got out of the car, and the servants behind them came over with horses. Some rode alone, and some women didn't mind sharing a horse with a man. Some girls even said that they couldn't ride a horse and asked Zhang Zhixiang to take her.

He declined on the grounds that he was "not good at riding".

Wang Cuiqiao and Zhang Jingdu drove their horses over, and the three of them walked side by side. Wang Cuiqiao asked, "Since your mood is fading, why don't you go back?"

Zhang Zhixiang raised his head, looked at Gaoyang Mountain in front of him, and said: "Meet the fox fairy, I don't know if it's true or not, I have practiced Taoism for many years, and I haven't seen a monster yet."

"Hmm, I haven't seen it either."

Zhang Jingdu also nodded excitedly. This was the first time she had left the scope of Shangqing Town, and everything she saw was novel.

Along the way, these gentlemen and ladies stopped and stopped, and they arrived at their destination after noon.

Gaoyang Mountain is just an unknown mountain in Shitang Town, about 300 meters high. There is an ancient temple on the mountain, which has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are no Taoist priests.

Usually, this kind of place is used by passing passengers and hunters.

This group of young masters and ladies came here on a whim, but when they first entered the temple, they discovered something was wrong. Inside the temple, there was an old hunter lying against the wall with his eyes closed, and there was a group of eight people, obviously fierce, who were lighting a fire to barbecue. , There is also a beggar hiding under the altar, sleeping with his body hugged.

Peng Xia and his party, including servants, totaled more than 30 people.

Seeing that there were so many people, but they looked like fat sheep, the group of strong men even smiled unexpectedly, and looked at them with interest, as if wondering what price they could sell.

Although Peng Xia is very "clear" in thinking, he is capable.

After the initial panic, he immediately stabilized his mind. He took a step forward, resisted the pressure, called the book boy, saluted with sword and fist, and said to the people in the temple: "I will come here for a spring outing after hearing about the fox fairy. Excuse me, make an apology first."

The rest of the scholars also followed suit.

The leader of the group of strong men looked at Peng Xia for a while, then dropped the gnawed rabbit leg, and said, "There is no such thing as a fox fairy, it's just a fox demon with some illusion spells."

"Grandpa, we are here to catch fox demons and sell them for money."

"However... you seem to be worth more than the fox demon."

After the leader finished speaking, the seven people behind him laughed. They didn't pay attention to Peng Xia's way of holding a sword and asking for a gift. They were all thugs licking blood with their swords.

He specializes in collecting money for affairs in the arena.

The story of the Fox Fairy in Gaoyang Mountain was spread a month ago. There was a Orion on the mountain nearby. The Orion's wife was about to give birth, but the fetus was too big to give birth, so the Orion had to hug his wife and go to the doctor.

When passing Gaoyang Mountain on the way, Orion's wife was about to die.

Orion kowtowed to the statue in the temple.

Needless to say, it was really a manifestation. A woman came out, opened the pregnant woman's stomach with her hand and took out the baby. After stroking it again, the stomach closed without even a wound.

The delivery of the woman was completed, and the mother and child were safe.

Before Orion could thank him, he found that the woman had disappeared. When he looked at the baby on the ground, he found that the baby was holding a strand of silver-white hair in his hand, which was... fox fur.

Since then, the rumors of the fox fairy have spread.

Many people have come to worship these days, but they have not seen supernatural powers. In fact, the enthusiasm has subsided, and no one will care about it in a few days, but that is only for ordinary people.

Like this group of strong men, Ma Hong and his like, the leader, are thinking about it.

Because, fox demons are valuable.

Ordinary women in the world can't compare to the transformed fox demon, but Ma Hong and the others came here with great interest, but they were disappointed after a face-to-face meeting last night.

The last time he rescued a pregnant woman, he also wanted to spread his reputation.

It stole the temple, and was already bound to the invisible female statue, intending to cultivate through incense, but now it has become its urging talisman. After Ma Hong and the others had a good rest, they planned to smash the statue and force the fox demon show up.

but.

After seeing this group of young masters and ladies, Ma Hong changed his mind. He had heard that Shitang Town was rich. If he tied these people up, wouldn't it be easy to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver?
