Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 255 Do What I Do

Fang Xusheng: "People in my generation learn from heaven and earth."

Fan Jin was stunned, "What a world of imitation."

He then slapped his head, "Brother Fang, Yan Xiucai's family is not easy to mess with. Although you are famous here, you have offended the Yan family. If you stay for a long time, I'm afraid there will be trouble looking for you."

Fang Xusheng smiled: "Brother Fan, I am mortal, where can I go. Let's see what they will do."

Fan Jin was annoyed: "It's all my fault for causing such things, I still don't have enough energy."

Fang Xusheng shook his head, "Brother Fan, you are shrinking from yourself. Where there is righteousness, even tens of thousands of people can go there. The truth I believe, why should I submit to the power. Life is alive, and the grass and trees are in autumn. If you are destined to die, then life will be splendid. This principle is meaningless to others, but I know that you are different."

Fan Jin was very touched.

He hid in the study, regardless of the age of the outside world.

Is there a dream of a scholar in my heart?

Life is full of life.

Some people are willing to live, but some people are not.

If you don't want to, you would rather live a splendid life, even if it is short, and not be humiliated.

Fan Jin: "A gentleman would rather be humiliated for the sake of the holy way than to be humiliated by villains. His body will be destroyed. The parents who gave birth to me know me, Brother Fang."

The ancients said that white hair is as new as before, and it is as old as before.

From Fan Jin's point of view at this moment, Fang Xusheng is the one who is as good as ever.

Fang Xusheng said with a smile: "There is no one who walks alone in the world. I like people like Brother Fan who walk together. Even if they die, they will come again in the next life. What is life and death?"

He is a transformation of Qin Chuan, not afraid of falling into the cycle of life and death.

But if you walk the holy way, you don't ask about your future.

If there are like-minded people along the way, let's go together.

If you leave halfway, it means that the predestined relationship is not enough.

have nothing to say.

Fan Jin clapped his hands and said, "Life and death are nothing to talk about."

Fang Xusheng: "Brother Fan, the sky of Donglu is the sky of all the people in the world, and it cannot be overthrown. I think you will win a juren in the future."

Fan Jin laughed loudly, "I dare not expect extravagantly to win the exam. Even if I win the exam, it's better to make a friend like Brother Fang."

Fang Xusheng: "Anyway, if Brother Fan doesn't take fame and fame, there are mediocre people who will take it. Since that's the case, it's better for Brother Fan to take it. The more educated people occupy high positions in this world, the less villains occupy high positions." , naturally things in the world will be much fairer. There are some things we have to fight for."

His words are like swords, and his sharpness is very strong.

But Fan Jin felt his heart surge.

His family is in the middle of nowhere, avoiding worldly affairs, and he really seems too small.

Shouldn't a true scholar have to face up to the difficulties?

Even if the world is difficult, you can do your best to walk out of the right path.

He saw a kind of fearlessness from Fang Xusheng.

That night, Fang Xusheng stayed in Zhixingzhai to talk with Fan Jin Bingzhu at night.

The next day, a carriage came over.

Fan Jin thought it was someone from the Yan family who came to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes, but he didn't expect that it was Dong Luhou who sent someone to invite the two of them to the banquet.

This is a cultural meeting held by the Marquis of Donglu, and most of them can only participate if they have a reputation for raising people.

Unless the family is famous, there are very few talents who can enter.

Fan Jin and Fang Xusheng got into the carriage.

Although he usually has some complaints about big men like Dong Luhou, Fan Jin was still very nervous when he really wanted to meet him.

I usually make complaints in private, but when I meet a big shot in person, I am not nervous.

But Fang Xusheng remained calm.

If it made Fan Jin feel deeply moved.

"Brother Fang, your ability to cultivate Qi is really admirable." Fan Jin said in a low voice.

Fang Xusheng smiled, "There is a saying in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zuo family that meat eaters are despicable. I believe this sentence. So there is nothing to worry about."

Fan Jin: "Meat eaters are despicable, but what you say is true, how can you really believe it?"

Fang Xusheng: "So whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Fan Jin was thoughtful, "Brother Fang, are you teaching me how to learn?"

Fang Xusheng smiled: "I mean, as long as you deceive yourself, there is nothing to be afraid of. The heart is the most difficult to subdue. The essence of the mind is also the same. I deceived myself to be a saint. As long as I firmly believe in it, then I am a saint. "

Fan Jin smiled wryly: "Brother Fang, if you weren't from Lingzhou, I really don't believe you are a disciple of Xinxue. How can you arrange Xinxue like this?"

Fang Xusheng: "No, this is the right way to look at it. The new theory says that everyone should be a saint, so of course people don't want people to keep to the old rules. Saints are also made by humans. I am a saint in my heart, so naturally I am a saint inside and a king outside. Brother Fan thinks I am Just kidding, I still laughed at Brother Fan as an idiot."

When the driver of the carriage heard this, he found it very interesting, "Fang Xianggong, do you think we wait for servants, can we be saints?"

Fang Xusheng: "If Brother Coachman thinks he can do it, then he can do it. Buddhism says that in the next life, even if you don't succeed in this life, as long as you keep your ambition, you will always succeed."

The coachman: "Fang Xianggong is a scholar, and he also believes in the afterlife?"

Fang Xusheng: "Things that cannot be falsified can be believed or not. But we are human, so we naturally choose the side that is beneficial to us to believe."

"Is this the difference between benefit and righteousness?"

Fang Xusheng smiled, "Brother Fan, Donglu Hou is not easy. Even a coachman under him can say such a thing."

The dispute over profit and righteousness is the biggest dispute in Confucianism after the Master.

It was not until Zhu Zi, from the perspective of public and private interests, that he managed to suppress the dispute between benefit and righteousness.

It can be for one's own benefit and the righteousness of the world. The difference still runs through the long river of history.

Fan Jin: "The dispute over profit and righteousness has been going on for a long time. I wonder what Brother Fang thinks?"

Fang Xusheng: "I think the benefit of one's own lies in preserving one's nature. The righteousness of the world is to preserve the interests of the world. If one person is sacrificed, the world can be saved. So what will Brother Fan do?"

Fan Jin: "If it was me who sacrificed, I would do it without hesitation. If it was someone else who sacrificed, I have no right to ask him to do so."

Fang Xusheng: "Why?"

Fan Jin: "Because the world is meaningful to me, but to others, I don't know."

Fang Xusheng: "So it is not easy for people to know themselves, but it is impossible to know others. The dispute between profit and righteousness lies in the right to speak. Who cares about themselves?"

The coachman smiled and said, "The good one lies in the right to speak. Fang Xianggong is a great talent."

Fang Xusheng then took a deep look at the coachman, "Brother coachman, who are you?"

The coachman: "Yan Gongquan."

Fan Jin couldn't help being surprised, "The head of the Yan family."

Fang Xusheng himself was also surprised, he is now a mortal womb, and has no ability to hope.

Yan Gongquan is the head of the Yan family, second only to Marquis of Donglu in terms of status in Donglu City.

And I am the number one calligrapher in the world.

His pen and ink are respected by the world.

Known as the living book saint.

Although there are beautiful words, it also shows his calligraphy attainments.

"Yan Gong personally drove the car for Brother Fan and me. It's really amazing. After thousands of years, it's another good story."

Yan Gongquan: "All the children in the family are unworthy, otherwise there is no need to make such a gesture. I also ask Fang Xianggong to accompany me to finish this scene, so as not to humiliate my Yan family's reputation."
