Chapter 3245

What was a Ranger?

A Ranger sounded very awe-inspiring. In the eyes of many people, it was a swordsman who traveled all over the world, upholding justice and helping the weak!

Many of the chivalrous stories passed down by word of mouth in the secular world were also related to Rangers. Rangers were almost synonymous with justice in people's minds!

However, in fact, in the eyes of Confucian cultivators, especially in the eyes of those great Confucian families, Rangers … were synonymous with debauchees. They were people who couldn't cultivate Confucian cultivation techniques and couldn't practice Sword Qi. They could only rely on their mediocre swordsmanship and wander around, idling around.

In the eyes of great Confucian scholars, these people were all poor and destitute, abandoned children who couldn't accomplish anything.

In short, they were a group of Confucian cultivators who didn't care for their grandparents and didn't love their uncles. They were a different branch of Confucian cultivators, but in fact, in the eyes of Confucian cultivators, they were just wild foxes.

In particular, these Rangers didn't care about etiquette, morality, honor, and shame. They were like male dogs in heat, teasing good women everywhere, destroying their chastity, and then patting their hands, they once again wandered around the world. They even said that they were in love with each other, so there was no need to spend all their time together.

"Rangers … are the scum of us Confucian cultivators!"

Listening to Seventh Uncle's somewhat teeth-gnashing shout, Xiao Hua almost thought that some of Seventh Uncle's women had an affair with the Rangers. However, after listening to Seventh Uncle's words, he finally understood that it wasn't Seventh Uncle's personal grudge with the Rangers, but a group of great Confucian families who followed the rules and regulations of this free and undisciplined lifestyle!

"Confucian cultivators are upright cultivators between heaven and earth. Oh, Daoist Xiao, it's not that this old man wants to slander your Daoist School, but Daoist School steals the essence of heaven and earth for their own use, not thinking of giving back to heaven and earth for marriage, which is exactly what we Confucian cultivators despise!

The disciples of Confucian cultivators should read the books of the sages, know etiquette, know right and wrong, hold the outline of heaven and earth, and follow the rules of heaven and earth!

Use the outline of heaven and earth to rule the world, conduct yourself properly, and don't use the thoughts in your heart to kill! "

Seventh Uncle looked at Xiao Hua with some disdain and said, "Even if you want to eliminate evil and punish evil, you should use the methods of Confucian cultivators to punish, and not use your own evil!

Rule by law, rule by law. This is the difference between us Confucians and you Daoists! "

"Hiss …" Xiao Hua sucked in a breath of cold air. Although he could also be considered a Confucian cultivator, and his Confucian cultivation was even higher than Seventh Uncle's, this was the first time he had heard words that integrated the principles of heaven and earth into people's daily actions and into the management of a country. Although Seventh Uncle's words were not without bias, Xiao Hua still felt as if he had been enlightened.

He had already realized this when he was in the Dawn Rain Continent. There weren't any restrictions between the Three Kingdoms of Cultivation. Ordinary cultivators would draw their swords against each other from time to time and kill each other for their treasures. There were countless cases of greed at the sight of wealth.

Isn't this just the lack of the Confucian cultivation method that Seventh Uncle mentioned?

This Dharma was like the Heavenly Dao of Daoism. All kinds of cultivation were under the Heavenly Dao. One could comprehend the Heavenly Dao, but one could not provoke the Heavenly Dao. The Dharma of Confucianism was the Heavenly Dao. If one violated the Dharma, they would be punished by the Dharma!

Naturally, the Heavenly Dao was far grander than the Dharma. The Dharma was merely a small shadow of the Heavenly Dao under the governance of Confucianism.

Seeing Xiao Hua's expression change, Seventh Uncle said proudly, "Although this old man is not good at our Confucian cultivation method, I often read the historical records of our You Clan's ancestors. From the ancient history, Daoism didn't follow the rules, didn't know etiquette, and didn't establish the Dharma. This was why they lost their own rules. If you say they were annihilated by our Immortal and Buddhist sects, it would be better to say they lost their way!

They lost their direction of survival under your so-called Heavenly Dao … "

Seeing that Seventh Uncle was talking nonsense again, Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Old Sir, some of your words are indeed enlightening and deafening. This Xiao can't deny it!

However, if you want to generalize and use 'Dharma' to cover up the annihilation of Daoism, it's not appropriate!

No matter if it's Confucianism, Buddhism, or Daoism, they are all cultivation paths between heaven and earth. Although their paths are different, their directions and goals are not necessarily different.

Since each of them can exist, they naturally have their own reasons for existing!

Old Sir, you're pointing out the annihilation of Daoism right now. Your words have evidence, but maybe there are other reasons. You're pointing out the annihilation of Confucianism and Buddhism with similarly conclusive evidence? "

"Nonsense!"

Seventh Uncle felt that Xiao Hua was speechless and was acting shamelessly here. He smiled and said, "No matter where it is, Dharma is the epitome of Heavenly Dao. Everything must be done under Dharma!"

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. He pointed behind him and said, "Take those bandits from before for example. Exterminating bandits is an act of the country, the duty of the officers and soldiers. What we need to do is to capture them and send them to the government, not to let you kill them yourself!

Oh, that's right, this old man was talking to you about the Ranger. This Ranger carries on your Daoism's idea of freedom. He does whatever he wants and doesn't respect Dharma!

As the saying goes, a Ranger uses martial arts to break the law!

A Ranger only emphasizes martial arts, not Dharma. He kills as he pleases. How can he enter the hall of elegance? "

"This …" Xiao Hua touched his nose and said with a bitter smile, "As far as this Xiao knows, these bandits seem to have some connections with the government. If we send them to the government … it may not be of any use. Even if someone sends them to the government, I'm afraid that they will suffer some kind of retaliation!

Moreover, if this Xiao only wants to capture these bandits, there will certainly be some misgivings. The difficulty will also increase. Since they have blood on their hands, why can't this Xiao enforce justice on behalf of Heaven? "

"Who are you?

No matter who you are, you're only a human!

You're a Daoist.

What qualifications do you have to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven?

What evidence do you have that they have blood on their hands?

If you kill them, won't you be the same as them? "Seventh Uncle seemed to have been prepared for this and asked several questions in succession.

"This …" Xiao Hua rubbed his nose until it was somewhat red. He really didn't know how to answer.

"As for the government colluding with them, that's just your guess. Even if it's true, it's just the actions of some scum in the government. All the more reason you should hand this matter over to their king and let their king punish them according to the law!" Seventh Uncle lectured again.

When it came to speaking, Xiao Hua had always been weak. He didn't understand the ancient records of Confucian cultivators and so on. At this time, he was even more unable to answer. In his opinion, if he wanted to answer, it could only be the words of Buddhism. "If I don't enter the cycle of reincarnation, who will enter the cycle of reincarnation?" Taking all the sins on oneself, let's see how Confucian cultivators deal with it.

It was a pity that Xiao Hua wasn't bald. He feared that he wouldn't be able to answer in such a way to convince Seventh Uncle.

At this time, You Zhongquan, who had been eavesdropping from the front, faintly said, "Seventh Uncle, what should you say about Confucian using literature to violate the law?"

"You …" When Seventh Uncle heard this, he was so angry that his beard blew and his eyes widened. He angrily said, "This old man only knows that heroes use martial arts to violate the law.

The laws of this world are all made by us Confucian cultivators. Who would use literature to interfere?

There's no need to mention this kind of nitpicking theory! "

Speaking up to here, Seventh Uncle said, "Little Gongzi, my You family is a great Confucian cultivator family. There are many ancient records in our family. You only need to read the books of the sages in our family. Why don't you look at the teachings of other schools?"

Who would have thought that You Zhongquan wouldn't pay attention to Seventh Uncle at all. He only said one sentence and hooked up with Liu Yi again. Liu Yi had always been clever. He was very congenial with You Zhongquan. The two of them talked passionately. If it weren't for the fact that they were on the main road, the two of them would have already beheaded a chicken and burned yellow paper!

Although Yuan Ya didn't speak much, Liu Yi would ask him from time to time, so he didn't seem lonely.

"Alas, this child …" Seventh Uncle couldn't help but smile bitterly. "He's always so unconvinced. No wonder Old Madam wants to arrange a marriage for him!"

"Oh?"

When he heard about You Zhongquan's marriage, Xiao Hua's eyes lit up. He asked, "I wonder which family's young lady is worthy of your noble son?"

When it came to good things in the family, Seventh Uncle couldn't help but show off. He didn't need Xiao Hua to ask and had already explained the matter clearly.

Contrary to Xiao Hua's expectations, this young lady's surname wasn't Huang, but Chang. She was the descendant of a great Confucian family in Xin Country. She was well-matched with the You family.

Although the two families had the idea of marriage, the children of the two families were still young and didn't mention the agenda.

Now that Xin Country had an urgent matter that required Yifeng Country's help, in order to find a suitable reason, Chang Family took the initiative to propose marriage. Since You Family had the intention of forming an alliance, the two families hit it off and settled this marriage!

Yifeng Country could legitimately send troops to Xin Country.

This was originally a good thing that would benefit both the country and the family. However, when it came to You Zhongquan, it was tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

He had always had the ideal of being a ranger. He hoped to wield a three foot long sword and sweep away all the injustices in the region. Now that he was trapped by marriage, how could he allow himself to be captured?

Therefore, before the engagement ceremony was completed, he fled from home!

You Family's old ancestor felt sorry for You Zhongquan, so he sent Seventh Uncle and two family guards to protect him. He also brought Zhui Feng along.

When Seventh Uncle caught up to You Zhongquan, he naturally gave Zhui Feng to You Zhongquan. Who knew that You Zhongquan would ride a horse and flee. Seventh Uncle and the other two chased after him bitterly. If they hadn't been robbed by bandits, the three of them probably wouldn't have been able to catch up to You Zhongquan.

"Hahaha ~ With little friend You's character, as long as you practice a little more in the future, this Confucian cultivator's flying sword will definitely reach great success. Old Sir doesn't need to be too worried."

Xiao Hua laughed heartily when he heard this and looked at You Zhongquan with interest. Although You Zhongquan wasn't a ranger right now and didn't even have the means of a ranger, he was able to pull out a sword at a critical moment. Others could call him stupid or rash, but Xiao Hua just happened to like this kind of righteous person!

For this kind of person who would rather throw away his life for his own ideals, how bad could his character be?

Hearing Xiao Hua mention the Confucian cultivator's flying sword, Seventh Uncle sneered and said without any trace of politeness, "Daoist priest must also have some magical powers, but do you know what the real magical powers of us Confucian cultivators are?

It's not those people who hold a treasure sword, nor are it those swordsmen who step on a flying sword and spit out a flying sword to take a person's head from a thousand miles away!

It's those great scholars who set the universe with a single word and soar to the nine heavens!

My You Family's little gongzi didn't walk on the righteous path of Confucian cultivators, but why did he walk on the path of flying sword? "

"Oh?"

Xiao Hua raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "I can understand a single word and soar to the nine heavens, but what about setting the universe with a single word?"
