Chapter 159:The Benevolence and Righteousness of Confucius
Li Changsheng did not answer Uncle Ai's question. He asked Uncle Ai an unrelated question:“Why did humans rule the Earth? Why are humans stronger than tigers, lions, and bison?”
"Is this still a question? Of course, humans can rule the Earth and become the strongest of all living beings on Earth through Confucius' benevolence and righteousness." Uncle Ai knew that Li Changsheng was trying to inspire him, but although he didn't want to answer, he reluctantly cooperated with him.
Li Changsheng sighed in his heart: No wonder you have lived here for more than 20 years, and even the Wuwei Taoist is unwilling to teach you Taoist martial arts! Your thoughts are completely different from Taoist ideas!
Li Changsheng patiently explained, "The only advantage of humans over wild animals and plants is their intelligence. Human intelligence is their weapon for ruling the Earth.Human beings do not have the power, speed, and sharp claws and teeth of wild animals, but they can create powerful weapons to eliminate them."
“So, wisdom is the most powerful weapon of humanity.Even in human society, the most successful people in every industry are not the strongest, but the smartest.”Li Changsheng continued to say.

Uncle Ai asked in confusion, "What is the relationship between the topic you're talking about and the question I raised?"
Li Changsheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you the answer now.Laozi said in the Tao Te Ching that the Tao gives birth to and raises all living beings. Pursuing the Tao is the only meaning of humanity.What is Dao? Because the world is composed of visible matter and invisible energy, thetefore,the material property of Dao is the energy that generates the universe, which we Chinese people call Qi.The abstract concept of Dao is the laws of the material world.
The pursuit of Dao is to study the energy that generates the universe and humanity, and to study the laws of the material world and human society. These are all in the pursuit of wisdom. If you don't want to repeat the same thing every day, just to have enough to eat and reproduce, then pursue the Tao. Take this pursuit as the meaning of life.We Taoists study the relationship between Qi and the human body. The science that Westerners study is the laws of the material world and human society.”
After Li Changsheng finished speaking, he walked out of Uncle Ai's room. Leave Uncle Ai alone in deep contemplation.Li Changsheng said to himself, "I have done my best. How much Taoist thought you can understand depends on your own understanding."
Seven days later, with the help of using her own body's energy to detoxify and Longzhi Grass, Yin Lingzhi's body was cleared of toxins.
A ray of sunlight shone through the window into the wing room, revealing a bright golden spot on the ground. There are two people sitting face to face on a futon with their eyes closed in the room. One of them is wearing black clothes, and the other is wearing a white long skirt. The man in black has dark skin and an ordinary appearance, but his demeanor is dignified and majestic, like a solitary peak on a cliff. The woman in white has a graceful appearance and temperament like a celestial being descending to earth, yet she remains gentle.
