Saint Immortal Way

() Seeing Huang Daoyun's tense and weird appearance, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they raised their throats, for fear that Huang Daoyun would say nonsense in the article.

Huang Daoyun was in a good mood, took a deep breath and smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, the essays written by the younger brother are not only good, but also very, very good. Although I don't know how other people write, but in my opinion, no And no one could have written it better than this one!"

Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief, all smiling.

"Jianjia knows that the second brother is the best!" Lu Jianjia smiled openly.Lu Kaitai nodded, and said gratifiedly: "My Lu family is going to produce geniuses, and it's going to be great!"

Lu Yangshi pushed Lu Jianjia: "Girl, your second brother hasn't finished writing, go and read it quickly, and copy back the rest, and then show it to Miss Daoyun, don't miss it!"

"I see!" Lu Jianjia turned around and ran away.

Huang Daoyun smiled and said: "Auntie, Daoyun won't miss you. You don't need to look at the back, just look at the part on the hand. It is already extremely rare. With the talent of the younger brother, the back will definitely not be worse than the current one!"

It wasn't just Huang Daoyun who was inexplicably excited, many people also began to discuss excitedly, and some even shouted loudly, for fear that others would not know.

"Haha, my Bailongtan Academy is about to produce a peerless talent. This article is wonderfully written...Everyone listen to me, there is a mixture of things, born innately. I am lonely, du li does not change, week If it moves without danger, it can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don’t know its name, the word is Dao, and the name of strong is Da. Big. There are four great things in the realm, and humans live in one of them. Humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

"Wonderful, wonderful, the understanding of Tao is profound, and the last sentence of human law and earth can be a classic statement, which is better than thousands of dross..."

Some people have already gathered to discuss, not everyone has copied Lu Yang's article, even Huang Daoyun's handwritten paper does not have this sentence, she can't help frowning, what the Confucian scholar read just now is indeed true. It is sublime, and it is very similar to the Taoist scriptures written by Lu Yang.

"Yiyi, go and have a look. Which Confucian scholar wrote what you read just now? If it was written by another Confucian scholar, then the younger brother has met his opponent!" Huang Daoyun said hastily.

"I know!" Huang Yiyi was also a little nervous, and hurried forward, shouting: "Everyone, give way, give way!"

The Confucian scholars who got together had to make way. It turned out that Huang Yiyi was a little girl with a crisp voice. Naturally, others would not do anything insulting to the gentlemen, so she made way gracefully. , a Confucian student in white holds a piece of straw paper and reads softly: The great way is broad, and it can be left or right.All things rely on it to live without giving up, and without success.Clothing supports all things without being the main body, so it can be called small; when all things return to it without being the main body, it can be called big.Because it is not self-important in the end, it can become great. "

Huang Yiyi hastily interrupted: "Senior brother, who wrote this?"

The Confucian scholar saw that Huang Yiyi was wearing Confucian clothes and wearing a square scarf on his head. He knew that this was Master Huang's second daughter. He couldn't help being surprised and said: "So it was Brother Huang Xian, don't you know who wrote this? It was written by your senior brother!"

"Are you sure it was written by my brother Lu Yang?"

"Yes, look, this text is called Tao Te Ching!" The Confucian scholar handed over the paper, and Huang Yiyi took a look, and it was indeed the Tao Te Ching written by Lu Yang. .

"Thank you!" Huang Yiyi withdrew and hurried back to Huang Daoyun's side.

"Yiyi, how is it? Was it written by the younger brother?" Huang Daoyun asked hastily.

"Yes!" Huang Yiyi nodded.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Yang said with a smile: "It's okay, my son's literary talent is really good, and others have praised it. It seems that this time there is no problem in getting the top three, haha... Six Arts of the Holy Way , if half of them can get the qualifications for the palace competition, wouldn't it honor Zong Yaozu?"

Huang Daoyun smiled and said: "Guangzong Yaozu may not be enough, but Glory Township is fine!"

"Come on, come on, my second brother has already written it, and the Confucian teachers in the courtyard are talking about the Tao Te Ching, and the senior seniors who copied the book said that this is the most perfect Tao Te Ching book they have ever seen, and it can be compared with the sage's The scriptures are shoulder to shoulder!" Lu Jianjia trotted back, holding the second half of the Tao Te Ching copy in his hand.

Huang Daoyun quickly took it over, and while looking down, he read out: "The sage always has no heart, and takes the hearts of the people as his heart. Those who are good, I will be good; those who are not good, I will also be good, and be virtuous. Those who believe, I believe; those who do not believe, I also believe in it, and believe in virtue. The sage is in the world, she (xi) Sheyan, and he is the heart of the world. The common people pay attention to their eyes and ears, and the sages are all children."

"Jianghai is able to be the king of all kinds of grains, and because he is good at following them, he can be the king of all kinds of valleys. Therefore, when a sage wants to be superior, he must use his words; People are not important, being in front of others and not harming others is why the world is happy to push and never tire of it. Because it does not compete with it, the world will not compete with it."

The way of heaven is like drawing a bow!Those who are high will suppress it, those who are low will lift it, those who have excess will lose it, and those who are insufficient will give it.The way of heaven is to make up for what is lacking in the excess of damage; it is not the case in the way of humanity, to make up for what is lacking in damage.Who can have more than enough to serve the world?There is only Tao.It is a sage who does not rely on it, and does not succeed in success, so he does not see a virtuous person.

……

A sentence is like the philosophic words of the world, full of wisdom and broad-minded feelings. It is a kind of feeling similar to that of a saint, who is at a high place and looks down on the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of all beings in the world and the rise and fall of the world.

As Huang Daoyun read it, he felt the soul-shaking thing in the Tao Te Ching, which is hidden in the deepest part of the human heart, the easiest and most difficult thing to move. The sage has an impermanent heart, and the heart of the people is his heart!

What kind of emotion is this?

Unknowingly, Lu Yang already had such profound thinking and lofty feelings, but he himself was ignorant!Huang Daoyun felt that his heart was hit hard by these holy words full of wisdom and philosophy, and he was suddenly infected by an indescribable thing.

"Brother is really amazing!" Huang Yiyi also saw a line of philosophical words on the paper. Although she was younger, she was not much less talented than Huang Daoyun. She could fully understand the Tao Te Ching written by Lu Yang, and she was also attracted by it. She was shocked by the incisive philosophies, and many of them made her feel suddenly enlightened.

It was a feeling of keeping the clouds open to see the moon. This feeling was not once or twice, but more than ten times, dozens of times.Every sentence in the Tao Te Ching seems to be a truth, trying to express a profound thought for people to understand and understand.

In the courtyard of Liyan Hall, hundreds of Confucian teachers had already discussed loudly, and they were all shocked by the Tao Te Ching written by Lu Yang. For the Tao Te Ching, some ideas of governing the country and self-cultivation and the orthodox principles of the current holy way Some ideas are similar, but some are incompatible.

Some radical Confucian teachers pointed to the scriptures written by Lu Yang and said angrily: "It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous, a child born in a child dares to speak so boldly, can the country be governed by doing nothing? He is trying to harm the country and the people! !"

Some Confucian teachers echoed: "He is heresy. My sacred way is to take the responsibility of the common people in the world, but this scripture is obviously much more decadent. What is natural and what is inaction is not enough!"

"Extremely extreme, people in my holy way should do something, embrace the world, do my part, take the common people of the world as their own responsibility, and seek governance for the people. This kind of governance by doing nothing can be said to be a big failure in the scriptures. The rest, it is true. A lot of insights, really thought-provoking!"

"No, no, your eyesight is lowered. In my eyes, I may feel that this proposition is completely wrong, but what about the eyes of saints? You all know that the eyes of saints are quite different from ours. They are at a high level and see what all living beings don't see. , the listeners don’t listen, and the saints often ignore it in Baishengtai Temple, which is in line with the rule of saints who do nothing, rather than saying that the rulers of the court do nothing!"

"No, no, I'm afraid I've exalted what a boy student wrote. He's talking nonsense, and we're going to follow the nonsense right here?"

"Nonsense? Hehe, I think you are jealous of the virtuous and capable. How can such words be nonsense? If it is nonsense, you can also show me the nonsense?"

"..."

The Confucian teachers quarreled, some of them were red-faced and angry, as if they had forgotten the rule of not making loud noises.In the study hall, the time is not over yet, but most Confucian scholars have already finished writing what they want to write, and each article of the Holy Way is shining brightly in the study hall, reflecting each other.

The study hall is really too small to accommodate so many articles of the holy way. Many words of the holy way have been intertwined and overlapped, like a cloud of brocade clusters.

In this way, the Tao Te Ching written by Lu Yang feels very outstanding, and the five emperors' splendid spirit and splendid articles are surrounded by many awe-inspiring righteousness, which is even more distinctive.

The Confucian scholars who participated in the competition saw that the Tao Te Ching written by Lu Yang, word by word, sentence by sentence, was short, incisive, and contained profound philosophy, which was really thought-provoking.They really felt great pressure and anxiety. Some Confucian scholars were already pale and felt a little ashamed, but none of them gave up their pens and left.

The thirteen masters and Princess Shouyang in the study hall couldn't sit still for a long time, and they were also talking in their minds, discussing silently.Princess Shouyang saw that the 39 Confucian scholars wrote good things, but compared with Lu Yang's Tao Te Ching, the gap between them is indeed too far.

Princess Shouyang was in a very happy mood. She quickly wrote the Tao Te Ching on more than a dozen pieces of letterhead, called Shangguanyi, and ordered: "Immediately send this scripture to the palace in the exclusive memorial of this palace. The emperor will read it in person as soon as possible!"

Shangguanyi hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, is there something wrong with this? Your Highness's exclusive memorial should not be used lightly on weekdays. If it arouses the dissatisfaction of His Majesty, it will be cancelled..."

"Haha, don't worry, Father will not be able to sleep tonight after reading this scripture. How could he be dissatisfied?" Princess Shouyang chuckled and urged Shangguanyi to do it immediately.

Shangguanyi nodded, turned around and left the study hall, came to the Yunjian office, and sent the cloud note directly to the palace with Princess Shouyang's exclusive memorial. It was said that in less than an hour, the memorial was delivered quickly in the palace thousands of miles away. It was presented to Emperor Wen's imperial study.

Emperor Wen was surprised at first, but when he opened the memorial, he only read the first three paragraphs of the Tao Te Ching, and he was already furious. After reading the five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching, Emperor Wen no longer had the heart to review today’s memorial, but With [-] words in my chest, I pondered and studied them carefully, and at night, I still couldn't bear to release the paper.

Early the next morning, Emperor Wen went to court a little tired. The ministers were curious, and after inquiring, they found out the reason. It turned out that the emperor could not sleep at night after reading the [-]-word Tao Te Ching presented by Princess Shouyang... …
