Chapter 51
It turns out that the feelings of the world are intricate, and this Confucius's slight preference has buried another hidden danger, which of the original students of Confucius is not smart, quick to react, and intelligent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info only through some trivial things in daily life, I noticed that Confucius has a heart of favoritism and preference for the year, and he was jealous of his early life, plus that year not only looks obscene, but also walks and sways, his classmates have a good impression of him, and this year is born frivolous, and he wants to show his cleverness everywhere, okay, don't you brag that you have lived thousands of years old, you know everything about the world, you know everything, so we will tease you today.
This day coincided with the absence of Confucius, the first to provoke the incident was another proud protégé of Confucius, named Yan Hui, speaking of this Yan Hui, there is quite a legendary story, it turned out that Yan went home quite poor, when he first came, he was looked down upon by his classmates, and he made trouble everywhere, and he also went to Confucius in private to make a small report, saying that Yan Hui's hands and feet were not clean, and he had the habit of petty theft.
Just in the place where Yan Hui often sits and reads silently, a gold ingot is placed, and wrapped in red silk, and a line of small characters is neatly written on it, "God gives Yan Hui a dian of gold" that Yan Hui is smart, and he is also afraid of being tossed by his classmates, if he doesn't take it, this is a lost opportunity to make a small fortune in vain, after thinking about it, it is not difficult to decide, but he feels unconvinced, and he said on the red silk, "Foreign wealth does not make a poor person." ”
Seeing this, Confucius immediately gathered hundreds of students, immediately held an on-site commendation meeting, set up Yan Hui as a model, and called on the students to learn from Yan Hui and be a good man with great ambitions and great ambitions.
Unexpectedly, he hadn't been in the limelight for a few days, and this came to steal his limelight everywhere, that Yan Hui felt quite unconvinced, and decided to tease the New Year while the teacher was not there, to relieve the stuffiness in his chest.
"Year, you said that there were you before human beings, which means that you know how the heavens and the earth came into being, can you tell us how the heavens and the earth came to be?"
"How did heaven and earth come about?" Nian is pondering the sentence that Confucius said, "It is very pleasant to have friends from afar." And he often came from afar, why no one was happy for his arrival, but this Yan would ask himself this question, and he was not stunned there.
The classmates also stopped studying for Yan Hui's question about the year, and looked straight at the year, how did the sky and the earth come about, such a major topic, not to mention that the year is his own teacher Confucius may not be able to answer, there are a few students who reacted quickly, and immediately noticed that this was Yan Hui's deliberate provocation to the year, and immediately gathered to join in the fun.
"That's right, Nian, while the teacher is away, you can quickly tell us how the sky and the earth came about."
"How did heaven and earth come about?" Nian really didn't know, and I hadn't thought about it before, but looking at a few classmates smiling and looking at themselves, Nian's first reaction was that they had bad intentions.
If you want to see my jokes, I'm afraid it's not so easy, don't say that you are a few milky little hairy children, that is, the tall and majestic Pangu back then, I have lost a trace of my play, I think Pangu, I don't feel an idea, I came to inspiration, I don't know, you naturally don't know, since everyone doesn't know, it's not what I say, how do you listen, Nian has a plan in his heart, and he feels that he has confidence, this has confidence, he feels that he has momentum, and he unconsciously dances with his eyebrows, "Come on, come on, If you want to know how the heavens and the earth came about, I will tell you about it today. ”
"A long time ago, the whole universe was like a big egg, and there was a man named Pangu, who was conceived in this big egg and slept for 18,000 years before waking up. At this time, he found that he was living in a big egg of darkness and chaos, and his heart was so depressed that he felt as if he was bound by a rope, and he could not see a trace of light, so he decided to stretch his muscles and bones and pierce this big egg. As soon as Pangu stretched out his arms and kicked his legs and feet, the big egg was shattered. However, when he opened his eyes wide, he saw that it was still pitch black and chaotic in all directions. Pangu was in a hurry, so he picked up his fist and smashed it, and when he raised his foot, he kicked it. Pangu's arms, legs, and feet were thick and large, like iron. He kicked and struck, condensing the chaos and darkness of 18,000 years, and they were all kicked and beaten. Pangu swayed three times, two swayed, tightly entangled in his own chaotic darkness, and slowly separated. The light part of the clear fluttered, rising, and turning into a blue sky; The heavier part gradually settles and becomes the earth. As soon as the heaven and earth were separated, Pangu felt much more comfortable. He let out a long breath and tried to stand up, but the sky weighed heavily on his head. He realized that if the heavens did not rise high into the sky, then there would never be life on the earth. So he sat down and pondered what could be done about it. In the end, he concluded that only by holding up the heavens could all beings in the world reproduce and survive. So, Pangu held the sky with his hands and kicked the ground with his feet, trying hard not to let the sky press on the ground. Day after day, year after year, another 18,000 years have passed.
In the middle of this, Pangu only ate the mist that drifted into his mouth, and he never slept. At first, he could only use his elbows to rest, lying on his knees, because he had to do his best to push the sky to the sky with both hands, and finally, Pangu could straighten his body and raise his hands to lift the sky up, his body grew one zhang a day, and the heavens and the earth left one zhang a day, and the higher the sky rose, the longer Pangu's body became. Heaven and earth were stretched out by him for 90,000 miles, and he also grew into a giant with a height of 90,000 miles. The heavens were finally high above the earth, and Pangu felt exhausted. He looked up at the sky above his hands, and then at the deep earth beneath his feet. He concluded that there was already a considerable distance between heaven and earth, and that he could lie down and rest without worrying that the sky would fall and crush the earth. So Pangu lay down and fell asleep. He died in a deep sleep. Pangu is tired to death, he has broken new ground, exhausted his hard work, and sweated all his sweat. In his sleep, he still thought: It is not enough to have a blue sky and the earth, but to create a sun, moon, mountains and rivers between heaven and earth, and all human beings. But he was too tired to make it with his own hands.
Finally, he thought, "Leave my body to the world." As a result, Pangu's body gave the universe its shape, and at the same time, it also gave the universe matter. Pangu's head became the East Mountain, his feet became the West Mountain, his body became the Middle Mountain, his left arm became the South Mountain, and his right arm became the North Mountain. These five sacred mountains identify the four corners and centers of the square earth. They towered over the earth like huge stone pillars, each supporting a corner of the sky. Pangu's left eye became a round, large, and bright sun, hanging high in the sky, warming the earth day and night; The right eye became a moon of light, illuminating the earth. When he opened his eyes, the moon was round, and when he blinked, it became a crescent moon again. His hair and eyebrows became stars in the sky, sprinkled with the blue sky, walking with the moon and following the moon.
The breath that came out of his mouth turned into a spring breeze and clouds, causing everything to grow. His voice turned to thunder and lightning. His muscles became the soil of the earth, and his veins became the path. His hands, feet, and limbs have become mountains and mountains, and his bones and teeth have become treasures of gold, silver, copper, iron, and jade buried in the ground. His blood turned into rolling rivers, and his sweat turned into rain and dew. His hairs have become flowers and trees; His elves have become birds, beasts, fish, and insects. Since then, there have been sun, moon and stars in the sky, mountains, rivers, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish on the earth, and there has been a world between heaven and earth. “
Speaking of the happy place, that year was dancing with hands, spitting stars flying sideways, all splashed on the faces of several nearby students, but the students were like clay sculptures and wood carvings, sitting there, ignoring them, only two eyeballs followed the year around, waiting for the year to shout: "Answer over!" "The whole classroom was silent, as if it had been enchanted and frozen.
I don't know how long it took before a snorting voice broke the silence: "Year, it doesn't seem right, Pangu Qiren, there were, but I seem to have read it in some book, he was to compete with someone, to chase the sun, and was exhausted to death." ”
Hearing this, all the students' eyes were fixed on Nian again, making Nian feel hot on his face. Who are you playing against? I didn't play with anyone.,It's just this adult teasing him.,Who made him so stupid.,But this classmate has this question.,If you break the casserole again and ask to the end.,Expose my old past.,Once the classmates know the details,Will they say anything to me.。
Yes, seeing that my classmates listened so attentively and relished my words, I simply struck while the iron was hot, continued to make up nonsense, and led the topic away, so I said loudly: "Classmate Ran, you said that Pangu chased the sun, maybe you remembered it wrong, to say that chasing the sun, there is indeed such a person, but it is another beautiful story, I don't know if the students want to listen."
"Listen, listen!" The students shouted loudly in unison as if they had been injected with a stimulant at the same time.
"Okay, I'll tell you the story of Kuafu's chasing the sun." That year seemed to be more energetic, and even the sleeves of his arms were rolled up high.
"Once upon a time, in the northern wilderness, there was a majestic, towering mountain. In the depths of the mountains and forests, there lives a group of giants of infinite strength. Their leader was the grandson of the god of the underworld, the son of Shin, and his name was Kuafu. Therefore this group of people is called the Kwafu tribe.
They were all strong, tall and burly, with strong willpower and extraordinary spirit. And he is kind-hearted, hardworking and brave, and lives a life of no quarrel with the world and at ease. At that time, the land was desolate, poisons and beasts were rampant, and people lived miserably.
In order to keep the people of his tribe alive, Kuafu led the people to fight against the flood beasts every day. Kuafu often hung the vicious yellow snake he caught on his ears as a decoration, grabbed it in his hand and waved it, and took pride in it.
One year the weather was very hot, and the scorching sun shone directly on the earth, roasting the crops, scorching the trees, and drying up the rivers. The heat was unbearable, and the people of Kuafu died.
He looked up at the sun and told his people, "The sun is so abominable that I will catch it and catch it and let it obey its command." After hearing this, the clansmen dissuaded one after another.
Some people said, "Don't go, the sun is so far away from us, you will die of exhaustion." Some people say, "The sun is so hot, you will be roasted to death." "Father Kua has made up his mind, and vows to catch the sun so that it will obey the people's commands and serve everyone.
He looked at the miserable clansmen and said, "For the sake of everyone's happy life, I must go!" ”
As soon as the sun rose from the sea, Kuafu bid farewell to his people, and with great ambition, he strode from the edge of the East China Sea in the direction of the rising sun, and began his journey day by day. The sun moved swiftly in the sky, and Kuafu chased after him like a swift wind on the ground. He walked through mountains and rivers, and the earth was shaken by his footsteps, swaying back and forth. When Kuafu was tired of running, he took a slight nap and shook the soil in his shoes to the ground, thus forming a large mountain of earth. When he was hungry, he picked wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and sometimes he also cooked for his father. He used three stones to set up the pot, and these three stones became three high mountains, thousands of meters high. Kuafu ran after the sun, and as he saw that he was getting closer and closer to the sun, his faith grew stronger and stronger. The closer you get to the sun, the more thirsty you get, and it's no longer possible to quench your thirst by holding water from the river. However, he was not afraid, and kept encouraging himself, "It's almost time to catch up with the sun, and people's lives will be happy." ”
After nine days and nine nights, where the sun set, Kwafu finally caught up with it. The red and hot fireball was right in front of Kuafu's eyes, and on his head, ten thousand golden rays of light were bathed in him.
Kwafu opened his arms with great joy and wanted to hold the sun. But the sun was unusually hot, and Kuafu felt thirsty and tired. So he ran to the Yellow River and drank the water of the Yellow River in one go; He ran to the Wei River again, and drank all the water of the Wei River, but he still did not quench his thirst; Kuafu ran north again, where there was Daze, which stretched thousands of miles, and the water in Daze was enough to quench Kuafu's thirst. However, before Kuafu could reach Daze, he was dyed of thirst on the way.
When Kuafu was dying, his heart was full of regret, and he was still worried about his people, so he threw out the wooden staff in his hand. Where the wooden stick landed, a large lush peach forest suddenly grew. This peach grove is lush all year round, providing shade for passers-by, and the fresh peaches that produce them quench the thirst of hard-working people, allowing them to relieve fatigue and embark on their journey with vigor. ”
The air was as silent as death, and I don't know how long it took, just like countless ice packs suddenly fell from the sky, crackling and sighing, until the applause fell sporadically, and many students went to touch the hands that had been patting.
"Although the story you said is particularly beautiful and beautiful, I believe that this is by no means true, because there is no netherworld in this world at all, if you don't believe it, you will know when the teacher comes back tomorrow and asks."
