"Whose reasoning is the greatest?" Hong Yi was a little confused.
Yes, he had read the books of the sages since he was young. He had heard of all the theories of the Hundred Sages, but even for the Hundred Sages, their theories were not exactly the same.
For example, among the Sages, some believed that "human nature is evil", while others believed that "human nature is good". This was a contradictory theory, but in the works of the Sages, whether it was "human nature is evil" or "human nature is good", the Sages were able to say it clearly and logically. Their explanations were clear, organized, and convincing.
But as a scholar, especially one who said that "his reasoning is the greatest", he should agree with one!
"This question, this question …" The more Hong Yi thought about it, the more he felt that he had fallen into a trap.
He wanted to agree with someone's reasoning, but what followed was the denial of another person's reasoning. If he really wanted to answer this question, many of the Hundred Sages would be rejected by him.
Seemingly seeing Hong Yi deep in thought, Concubine Yuan did not think too much. She asked directly, "Then who do you think has the greatest reasoning?"
When Concubine Yuan said this, Hong Yi immediately turned his head and looked at Zhou Tong. He wanted to see the answer of the person who had asked this question.
"Whose reasoning is the greatest? Naturally, my reasoning is the greatest! "Zhou Tong said with a chuckle.
"Your reasoning is the greatest? Could it be that you think that you are greater than the Hundred Sages? "Hong Yi asked subconsciously. This was the nature of a scholar.
He had read the theories of the Hundred Sages since he was young, and he agreed with the reasoning of the Hundred Sages. Naturally, he would not agree with Zhou Tong's "my reasoning is the greatest".
"That's right. The Hundred Sages are also humans. Although their reasoning is self-consistent, there are still conflicts among the Hundred Sages. Their principles don't apply to everyone. The principles of any of the Hundred Sages don't completely apply to me. Why should I respect their principles? "
Zhou Tong answered very naturally, without the slightest bit of reluctance. For a moment, Hong Yi's heart trembled. He felt a terrifying aura of supremacy. His expression changed slightly, and cold sweat broke out.
Not only Hong Yi, even Concubine Yuan felt her chest tighten. Such confidence and aura was too terrifying. At this moment, when she looked at Zhou Tong, it was as if she was looking at a huge sun hanging high in the sky.
"Actually, I don't have to answer this question. As for your previous question, what is the biggest thing in the world? I have a different answer. "Zhou Tong said leisurely," In this world, reason is not necessarily the most important thing. As long as one is strong enough, so what if black and white are reversed? "
"What is the biggest thing in the world? My answer is' heart '. My heart is boundless, I can swallow the heavens and devour the earth. Heaven and earth are all in my heart. Are you satisfied with this answer? "Zhou Tong looked at Concubine Yuan with a smile.
"The principle is the greatest, the heart is the greatest, the heavens and the earth are in my heart!" Concubine Yuan originally thought that this doubt had been resolved, but at this time, countless doubts arose in her heart.
Whether it was Hong Yi's "principle is the greatest" or Zhou Tong's "heart is the greatest", it all made sense.
Concubine Yuan first looked at Zhou Tong and thought to herself, "The heavens and the earth are in my heart. This kind of belief encompasses the heavens and the earth … Perhaps this kind of thought, this kind of will, is the reason why he can easily merge my 'Great Art of Icy Cold Light' with the 'Amitabha Sutra'!"
Although she had guessed the reason and reason for Zhou Tong's strength, Concubine Yuan was still speechless. Such a heroic and domineering thought was not something that she could simulate.
After that, Concubine Yuan looked at Hong Yi and thought, "Hong Yi is still too young, he has the spirit of a scholar … Unless he can be compared to the hundred sages and be able to create his own principle, it is absolutely impossible for him to win against Zhou Tong with his reasoning."
Concubine Yuan, who had thought about this problem carefully, could tell that the current Hong Yi was still far from Zhou Tong.
However, after the initial panic, Hong Yi steadied his mind and kept thinking about how to refute Zhou Tong's words. However, the current Hong Yi, how could he find a reason to refute Zhou Tong?
Although Hong Yi was familiar with the classics since he was young, Hong Xuanji had always been strict with him. He even needed to borrow and copy books from others to read. How many books had he read until now? It was already his good fortune to be able to finish reading all the classics.
Moreover, the current Hong Yi did not cultivate martial arts or Taoism. Regardless of whether it was confidence or courage, he was seriously lacking. How could he think of a reason to refute Zhou Tong?
Zhou Tong glanced at Hong Yi and immediately understood in his heart.
Although Hong Yi looked a little lost, in reality, he was already thinking of a way to refute himself.
"He is indeed the only darling of this era. In six years, he has cultivated to a level that is infinitely close to the Nirvana Realm … Since he was born, he has only followed his own principles!" Zhou Tong also had an understanding of Hong Yi's domineering nature.
Such a person was not likely to be defeated because he only followed his own thoughts. He would not listen to anyone else's words.
"My confidence and domineering nature is accumulated through repeated victories and advancements. However, Hong Yi's confidence and domineering nature was born …" Zhou Tong thought to himself. At the same time, he was analyzing Hong Yi's personality.
That's right. Hong Yi's personality was domineering. He was domineering.
According to his great wish that everyone was like a dragon, was the Dream God Machine a dragon? Was the Dark Emperor a dragon? Was Yang Pan a dragon? Was the Shang Emperor a dragon? Was the Yin Emperor a dragon?
If they were not dragons, then Hong Yi's subordinates were even less dragons.
However, in the end? They were all beaten to death by him.
Hong Yi's great wish that everyone was like a dragon was clearly to kill all the dragons that he could not control. Only those that he could control were left.
"Actually, in the process of Hong Yi's rise in power in the original novel, he had never suffered any losses. Moreover, his words and actions were very purposeful. Anything that seemed to be at a disadvantage had its own benefits and goals behind it. He used whatever logic was applicable to the current situation."
"That's why he could eat people while scolding Hong Xuanji and the rest for using other people's corpses to refine weapons. He ate people because it would bring him benefits. He scolded Hong Xuanji and the rest because he wanted to defeat his opponents and make them lose their sense of righteousness. Thinking about it this way, the logic that Hong Yi pursues is very clear — pragmatism. "
"He may have lofty and lofty ideals, but his way of doing things is based on real practicality. The title of a gentleman can bring him benefits, so he wants it. The title of a saint can bring him benefits, so he wants it too. When dealing with enemies, he will persuade them if he can. If he refuses to listen to reason, he will beat them to death. "
"His words and actions are completely like those of a military strategist. He deeply understands the true meaning of 'the art of war'."
"If this is the way of a gentleman that he acknowledges, if everyone is like him, then his great wish, the so-called 'everyone is like a dragon', should be similar to the world that Yang Zi envisioned — 'Lose a little to benefit the world, don't give up; know that the world will serve you, don't take it; no one loses a little, no one benefits the world, and the world will be ruled.'"
"However, if no one loses a little, no one benefits the world, then how will everyone cross the sea of suffering and reach the other shore? There's only one answer, which is to ask the heavens and earth! However, can the heavens and earth really support so many people to reach the other shore? Can the heavens and earth really bear such a world where everyone is like a dragon? "
Zhou Tong did not agree with Hong Yi's Path of the Nirvana Realm because the possibility of success was almost non-existent. Even Hong Yi himself had almost devoured all the treasures in the world. He even obtained the power of Daoist Zaohua and the Longevity Emperor. Only then did he reach the realm of 'living as long as the heavens and earth'.
