CHAPTER XXXVI

"Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear." The winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong. Those who are content are rich, and those who are forced have ambitions. Those who do not lose their place will live for a long time, and those who die will not die. ”

Zhang Yu first memorized the part of the Tao Te Ching that Li Changding talked about yesterday.

Many things in this world are similar to the main world, the "Book of Ink" is similar to "Mozi" and "The Book of Ink", the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics also have corresponding classics, and the Taoist "Tao Te Ching" is exactly the same, only a few sentences of the words are different, and even the title of the book has not changed.

"Students feel that the way of the strong is one of them!"

Li Changding was silent and motioned for Zhang Yu to continue.

"Those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are wise, those who can know the strengths and weaknesses of others are wise people, and those who can know their strengths and weaknesses are those who understand. To be a wise person, even if you can't be a wise person, then you must be a clear person. This is the first step to becoming stronger! Zhang Yu said confidently.

Li Changding stroked his long beard lightly and nodded, it makes sense to understand it this way, and it can't be miscalculated.

After receiving Li Changding's praise, Zhang Yu became more confident, and continued: "The winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong." Those who can defeat others are powerful people, and only those who can defeat themselves are truly strong. After understanding your own strengths and weaknesses, you can give full play to your strengths and accumulate strength, overcome your shortcomings and strive for self-improvement, which is the second step to becoming stronger! ”

It can be justified! Li Changding was a little stunned. It's not a bit of a truth, but it makes a lot of sense.

"Those who are content are rich, and those who are forced are ambitious. Those who are content think they are rich, but they don't know that there is a new realm out there. If they are content, a beggar can also be called rich, but this is only fake wealth, not real wealth! If you want to be rich, you need not to be satisfied! Those who are not content can be really rich, and those who are content are just fake rich! The third step of becoming stronger, you must not be satisfied, you must always have the desire to become stronger! ”

Depend on! Talent! Butcher Yun Ya, Wang Que, Ji Mingsheng and others, even including Li Changding, were a little shocked, and even put forward ** determinism! Although there are still shortcomings, it is not easy!

Zhang Yu looked a little excited, didn't notice the change in the expressions of the people present, and then said: "The forcible person has ambition, and the person who can persist in doing one thing is the one who has the will, and only those who have the will can do it successfully!" The fourth step to become stronger is to persevere! ”

"Those who do not lose their place will live long, and those who die will not die for a long time. You can't lose the foundation of becoming stronger, so that you can continue to get stronger, otherwise you will be displaced, and Kanglong will regret it! This is the fifth step to become stronger! ”

"As for the 'life of those who die without dying', please forgive the students for being stupid and failing to understand its meaning." Zhang Yu bowed.

"Well, that's good. It's hard to see if you're willing to work hard. Although there are mistakes and omissions, for example, those who are content are not necessarily unmotivated. There are also people who are satisfied that they can continue to pursue progress, can be exposed to new knowledge every day, can know their own shortcomings every day, have a goal and direction to move forward, and are rich with peace and happiness in their hearts. Although he was surprised in his heart, Li Changding still showed a calm and indifferent look, and then commented casually.

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was inexplicably excited, and bowed and said, "What Mr. said is very true, but the student is stupid. ”

Li Changding nodded approvingly, "You sit down and let the other students talk." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yu bowed and sat down, and at the same time secretly looked at the expressions of his classmates, silent, and stunned, obviously he answered well, and it was not in vain that he racked his brains at home and thought for a long time.

In fact, Zhang Yu's most impatient thing is to read, if it weren't for Li Changding's saying that the master's mind is hidden in the "Tao Te Ching", only those who have truly realized it can really be included in the door wall, for Li Changding's miraculous martial arts, how would he think about these problems!

After that, the students present all spoke one by one, and most of what the others said was clichés, even if there were some new ideas, they were nothing until Li Lun began to speak.

"The students felt that there was a way of self-preservation in these words."

Before Li Changding could speak, Zhang Yu shouted first: "Li Lun, what the sages said, how can it be the way to ask you to retreat to self-preservation, you are a bit insulting to a moral saint when you say this!" ”

In the face of Zhang Yu's reprimand, Li Lun stopped and looked at Li Changding.

But it's no wonder that Li Lun has an ordinary appearance, he is from the Li family, his talent is average, whether he is studying or practicing martial arts, he has not achieved anything, and his status and treatment are also very average, so he has developed his cautious character. The other party is the young son of the magistrate, and he is naturally not even a fart in the entire Daqian Dynasty, but in this Panshi Town, it is far from being something that he, the Li family, can offend.

"Li Lun, but it's okay to talk about it." Li Changding understood Li Lun's concerns and opened his mouth to speak.

"Yes, sir."

"In the first few sentences, the students felt that Senior Brother Zhang explained very well, and the students only felt that they were suddenly enlightened and benefited a lot, but they had some other thoughts about the sentence 'those who do not lose their place for a long time'." Li Lun opened his mouth and patted Zhang Yu's ass first.

"Students feel that 'those who do not lose their place for a long time' are talking about the only way to last if they do not lose their fundamentals. For the old farmers in the countryside, the land is the foundation, for the children and young children, their parents and relatives are the foundation, and for the imperial court, the people are the foundation, and only by not losing the foundation can it last for a long time. ”

"Then how can you see that this is a retreat to protect yourself?" Zhang Yu asked directly unceremoniously.

"In the face of all kinds of traps in the world, bullying and oppression, you can give up all kinds of others, but you can't lose the foundation of your own life in the world!" Li Lun said lightly.

"This is a way to protect yourself, but it is not a retreat." Seeing that Zhang Yu still had to speak differently, Li Changding opened his mouth and concluded, "In the turbid world, calamities are everywhere, cultivators must maintain pure morality in order to not lose their place, and only then can they protect themselves in the calamity." ”

"Hmph." Zhang Yu felt that he had won, and the teacher spoke, so he did not continue to entangle, after all, he still respected this mysterious Yuxiao teacher very much.

Li Lun frowned in his heart, he had always said that he was the way to protect himself, and the retreat was added by Zhang Yu himself, but he was always cautious, so he didn't distinguish it, his face was calm, and he bowed down as well.

Then Li Changding casually commented on everyone, picked up a volume of "Tao Te Ching" beside him, and began to continue to explain.

After a few words, there was a dark-skinned middle-aged man, with a sad face, hurriedly pushed a cart and walked over, on which lay an old woman, goosebumps, sickly face, unconscious.

Li Changding saw it, put down the book, and hurriedly walked over.

"Pray for long hair and mercy! Save my mother! The villain is grateful! The middle-aged man saw Li Changding coming over, hurriedly put down the cart, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed!

"Hurry up. Tell me about your mother's condition. Li Changding said as he picked up the old woman's dry wrist like a chicken claw and carefully checked the pulse.

"My mother has always felt pain in her chest in recent days, just three days ago, she was picking mulberry in the forest, and suddenly vomited blood and fainted to the ground, if it wasn't for someone passing by, my mother, my mother was afraid that she wouldn't be able to come back!" The middle-aged man was sad and sad, and his voice was choked.

"Is there anything else?" Li Changding asked the middle-aged man carefully, refusing to let go of any details, and after a while, he made a decision in his heart, and the next thing is the performance time!
