Chapter 44 Xunzi

Walk into this bamboo sea located in the mountains behind Confucianism, and breathe the air with the fragrance of bamboo leaves in the green bamboo forest. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info wind brings a moist earthy smell, deep and dusty, and the air is fragrant, making people feel refreshed.

Since ancient times, bamboo has been admired by people for its clear and high-spirited character image. Shaded by layers of fine bamboo leaves, the sunlight becomes pleasant and warm. Su Dongpo has a cloud: "I would rather eat no meat than live without bamboo." No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. People are thin and fat, but there is no cure for the vulgar. ”

And Xunzi, who lives in such a bamboo forest, also wants to use these green bamboos to express his outstanding and upright character?

"It's a pleasure to have friends from afar."

Although he does not agree with Luo Xing's behavior, as a gentleman, Fu Nian will not deliberately make things difficult for him. After Fu Nian said Xiang in person, Xunzi was also very interested in Luo Xing, the predecessor of the Ghost Valley, and even stood at the door to greet him in person.

Xunzi is already very old, and at first glance he looks like a fairy-like and handsome old man. But no better than Chu Nangong, who is a little immobile even with crutches, he can stand firmly without the support of others, although his face looks old, he has enough energy and strong limbs.

Hidden under the seemingly thin and thin body is the other party's refined cultivation for decades, a huge Confucian deep internal force comparable to Yan Dan.

"Confucian Xunqing, I have seen my predecessors."

Confucianism attaches great importance to 'etiquette', although the other party's appearance is only a young man, Xunzi still meticulously raised his hands, and the younger disciples bowed to the seniors' courtesy.

But after all, this is the territory of Confucianism, Luo Xing raised his hand to play an internal force, stopped Xunzi's hem, and asked him with some curiosity.

"Looking at me with such a young appearance, didn't Xun Qing doubt me?"

The seniors laughed, although it has been a long time, Confucius also has a lot of anecdotes about his predecessors. Master Confucius said that if he met a young man who was twenty-nine years old, with blonde hair and golden eyes as dazzling as the sun, and his strength was unfathomable, he must be Luo Xing's predecessor. ”

Xunzi shook his head slowly, answered Luo Xing's question, and praised it from the bottom of his heart.

"When I saw it today, the appearance and temperament of my predecessors were really as Master Confucius said, extraordinary, far more incomparable."

For Luo Xing's state, Xunzi was somewhat envious. He knew that his time was running out, and he was afraid that he would be buried in the ground in three or five years.

Although he is not afraid of death with his temperament, if he does not have his own existence, Li Si will probably be even more unscrupulous when dealing with the Confucian little sage Zhuang.

Just like at the beginning, he killed his fellow senior brother Han Fei.

"Where, where, Xun Qing praised it."

Luo Xing shirked on the surface, but his expression was obviously dark.

Is such a person really the master of the legendary Mr. Guigu, a predecessor who has been passed down for more than 400 years?

Zhang Liang and Yan Lu, who were following behind Luo Xing, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, we may have met a fake senior today.

After some greetings, Luo Xing was invited by Xunzi into this exquisite hut located in the bamboo forest, on the shore of the clear lake. The three heads of the Confucian Little Sage Village, as well as the curious Tianming and Shaoyu, followed closely behind.

"Senior, I've already heard Fu Nian talk about the situation. But I can't do anything about it."

"Uncle Shi!"

"Uncle Shi, this ......"

Hearing Xunzi's answer, not only Luo Xing was a little stunned, but even Yan Lu and Zhang Liang on the side were at a loss.

"Ugh."

Xunzi shook his head and raised his hand to stop Yan Lu and Zhang Liang's next words.

"Although I am their uncle, according to the rules of Little Sage Village, no matter what, it is Fu Nian who makes the final decision. The decision of the head of the house is the decision of Xiao Shengxian Village. ”

"Therefore, if he insists on refusing to let his predecessors enter my Confucian Library, the old man can't force him to bow his head."

"Please also ask the seniors to forgive their sins!"

As soon as Xunzi finished speaking, Fu Nian bowed his head to Luo Xing, although he did not answer this question directly, his actions at this time undoubtedly represented refusal.

"Mr. Fu Nian won't think about it anymore?"

Luo Xing's face showed a playful expression, and the atmosphere in the Accord suddenly became solemn. At the same time, a majestic momentum emerged from his body, like a monstrous wave in the magnificent sea, but it only shrouded Fu Nian.

Fu Nian didn't reply, but his lowered head never lifted. At the same time, a rock-solid stream actually rose from his body, like a reef on the seashore, and he was left to the wind and waves, and he himself did not move.

"Senior Brother......

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind!"

Fu Nian's sleeve robe, which lowered his head, waved, unwilling to listen to Zhang Liang's argument again.

"Don't you know what you've done during this time? Secretly hooking up with those imperial rebellions, putting the safety of the little sage village on top of the fire, and mixing up the entire Confucianism with the rebellion of the empire, are you going to destroy my little sage village that has been passed down by Confucianism for hundreds of years?! ”

When his self-conceived plan was discovered, Zhang Liang was furious, and he didn't care that there were three outsiders, Luo Xing, Tianming and Shaoyu, at this time, and retorted directly to Fu Nian.

"The sage patriarch said: Be unyielding, brave in the face of righteousness, how can this ruin the little sage village!"

Fu Nian raised his head violently, his expression was angry, and there was a kind of rebuke that hated iron and steel.

"Assist the empire in rebellion and disturb the world, what kind of benevolence should it be, and what righteousness should it see?"

Zhang Liang said: "The benevolent, the lover; The righteous are altruistic. When someone is in danger, should we Confucians stand up, or stand by for the sake of our own safety and interests? ”

Compared with quoting scriptures, Fu Nian is also not weak

Zi said: Those who can do five things are benevolent in the world, respect, generosity, faith, sensitivity, and benevolence. The dwelling is respectful, the deacon is respectful, and the people are loyal. If the people do not know humility, if the officials do not know integrity, and if the people of a country do not know how to murder the king, and if they commit the following crimes, will not the country be plunged into turmoil, and the people will not be in danger? ”

Yan Lu looked at the two people who were caught in a dispute, his originally mature and steady face was full of tangled colors, and he didn't know what to do. On the contrary, Xunzi sat firmly in place, looking at Zhang Liang and Fu Nian as if they were ten years ago, arguing for different opinions on a certain topic.

Zhang Liangdao: "If you don't ask about the indiscriminate and blindly ask the people to be loyal to the king, will the world be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace and contentment?" Mencius? Gongsun Chouxia" says: Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. The widow is helpless, and the relatives are beside them; If you help more, the world will follow it.

Feeling that the majesty of his Confucian head was provoked, Fu Nian got up angrily and looked down at Zhang Liangdao.

"Hmph, it's rare that you still remember the Confucian classics. The Analects? In Yan Yuan", Zi said: The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, and the evil of not an adult. The villain is the opposite. If we do not spread the way of education and peace, but encourage the people to shake the foundation of the country and slander the royal road, isn't it "the evil of adults"? It's the act of a villain. ”
