Chapter 292 Explanation of Concepts"Yeah! You're so bossy!" "What a domineering old demon Shi! What a domineering Yangzhou!" "This is really too much!" "Master Sun, he doesn't even take your sect seriously." A group of Taoists accused Shi Feizhe. Shi Feizhe looked at them and wanted to laugh. You didn't dare to say anything just now, but now that Taoist Sun from Huang Tiandao is here, you dare to blame me. It's really ridiculous. Taoist Sun looked at Shi Feizhe. He recognized Shi Feizhe as the master who passed by Yanzhou not long ago. I didn’t expect that this person was the legendary Stone Demon. Those people deliberately flattered him, took advantage of his presence, accused Shi Feizhe, and wanted to use him to create a conflict with Shi Feizhe. He naturally saw it clearly.
However, after Huang Tiandao took over Jizhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, the next step would be to contact the forces of Yangzhou. Secondly, Shi Feizhe said that there was no Daoism under his rule. As a member of Huang Tian Dao, if he did not speak out at this time, he would be looked down upon. "My fellow Taoist, you don't have a deep understanding of the Tao, but you just want to kill the Taoist sect with one stick. Isn't that unwise?" he said. Shi Feizhe looked at him and said, "We in the Reform Committee only care about science. Science is a way of thinking and a form of doubt. It is not about kneeling there and worshipping dogma as truth. In our scientific philosophy, truth is used for dialectics and doubt." "And what I've seen in the martial arts world are divided into two types. One type just uses it, without asking where it came from or why it's like that, as long as it works." "One is ancestral, passed down from ancestors, and cannot be easily changed. We can only copy Xuan Ke's letter." "Which type are you?" Shi Feizhe asked. People in the martial arts world just practice martial arts and use them. They practice whatever is powerful and never ask what will be the most powerful! The Buddhist and Taoist sects in the world are the same. They hold scriptures compiled by unknown people and regard them as the truth, without asking why it is so! Even if someone dared to ask, they were suppressed. Because they know that the scriptures in their hands are the tools of their rule. If someone asks why, it means there are loopholes and that someone is resisting their authority. Science is the opposite. It encourages people to think more, wonder more, doubt more, ask more questions, and then hypothesize, argue, experiment, and summarize. Science is not about kneeling down and worshipping the laws and formulas discovered by predecessors as truth, but the way to progress is to doubt them. If you think that those who discovered the formula can't make mistakes, then it must be fake science. Taoist Sun remained silent; he belonged to the latter. His "Taiping Jing" came by chance, saved him from despair, and was regarded by him as the truth. "That so-called learning is all about doubt. You don't understand us, so why do you say we are wrong? Why do you think your reforms are right?" The Taoist in golden robes immediately found the loophole in Shi Feizhe's words and retorted. You don't know anything at all, you don't understand the true reason why we came to Xuan Dao, and you arrested us and said we were wrong! Doesn't this go against your expressed doubts? "Because it is always you sects and warriors who manage the martial arts world. Now, those people who you look down upon in the martial arts world are also the ones who manage the martial arts world in large numbers." "The real warriors in the Jianghu crush the warriors of other levels. They do whatever they want and commit all kinds of evil. The people in every city always hope that their city lord is a good person."
"But no matter how good a city lord is, it's only relative. They pin their hopes for survival on others." "Now, under the leadership of the Jianghu Reform Committee, these people have become the masters of Jianghu." "However, the Jianghu Reform Committee is not a panacea. It cannot eliminate illiteracy and bullying all at once." "But the committee provides a possibility that can enable those who are bullied by you to stand up and participate in the construction and management of Jiuzhou." “Of course the committee is not perfect, and no regime in the world is perfect, but we can at least recognize the present, continue to reform, and make progress.” "This is the Jianghu Reform Association!" Shi Feizhe said frankly. Such frank words made the Taoist in golden robe not know how to respond. Because Shi Feizhe said that the world is like this because of people like you. Now the reform of the underworld will come, and the underworld will change its appearance. "So domineering!" “So brutal!” “How unreasonable!” The golden-robed Taoist priest and several other Taoist priests were irritated by Shi Feizhe's words. They accused him with red faces, repeating the same few words over and over again. What can they do? They can only rage helplessly. Fortunately, they have Taoist Sun. Taoist Sun looked at Shi Feizhe and said, "We Huangtian Dao want to create a Huangtian flourishing age." “Heaven and man are one, and everything man does can affect the laws of nature. If man cannot control them, nature will surely bring disasters, ranging from minor injuries and diseases to major ones such as the destruction of a country or a family.” "The world is in chaos and the night is long because of the injustice of heaven." "We, the Huangtian Dao, are acting on behalf of Heaven to build a prosperous, fair and selfless Huangtian era." "So how do we establish it?" Shi Feizhe said. "The rulers of the Nine Provinces should practice morality, abandon punishment, govern in accordance with the laws of heaven and earth, follow nature, put the people first, employ talented people, reduce punishments, help the poor and the needy, and put the people first," Taoist Sun said slowly. "What if the Lord of Jiuzhou doesn't do this? How can we guarantee that the Lord of Jiuzhou can do this?" Shi Feizhe asked again: "It is ridiculous to pin the future of the martial arts world on one person." "The words of a great leader are not as good as a wise man in the country!" Taoist Sun said, "In the governance of the Nine Provinces, we should value and employ wise men. With wise men, we can advise the rulers of the Nine Provinces." Shi Feizhe shook his head and said, "What you said is contradictory." "Why should the ruler of the Nine Provinces consider the people's thoughts? The people's foundation?" "Just like real warriors never consider the thoughts of ordinary people. There is no need at all." "Moreover, yours is essentially the same as the monarch-minister relationship, and you are essentially establishing a dynasty. As long as it is a dynasty, it is oppressive. It is far from the prosperous era of justice and selflessness that you pursue." "The butt determines the head. It is impossible for the ruler to consider issues from the perspective of the ruled." "You Huang Tian Dao are too naive. You are fundamentally incapable of building the Huang Tian prosperous era that you want."
"Because you are the roadblocks that block your own path, and you are the gravediggers that bury your own ideals!" "You won't succeed!" Shi Feizhe said firmly. Isn't it a joke to have a struggle without any steps and put all hopes on a wise king? Taoist Sun just looked at Shi Feizhe and said, "So, will you succeed?" "Of course, because the future master of Jiuzhou will be any ordinary person! Not me, Shi Feizhe!" Shi Feizhe said loudly. He said long live the people!
