Chapter 177: Summer Worms Can't Speak Ice
"Nonsense, three seasons a year! I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten, so why haven't I ever found out about Season 4? ”
In the end, Zigong and the green-robed guest couldn't argue, so they decided to bet: if it was the four seasons, the guest would kowtow to Zigong three times. If it is three seasons, Zigong kowtows to the guests three times. Zigong thought that he had won this time, so he prepared to take the guests to meet his master Confucius.
At this time, Confucius came out of the house, and Zigong stepped forward and asked, "Master, I made a bet with this green-robed guest and asked how many seasons there are in a year?" ”
Confucius glanced at the guest and said, "There are three seasons in a year. "Zigong was almost frightened at the time, this step is messing around, will the master take the wrong medicine or burn out his brain? He wouldn't be so confused, but he didn't dare to ask right away.
The guest immediately said, "Sage Kong has said it, can't you afford to lose?" Kowtow kowtow! Zigong had no choice but to say: "This Confucian saint may be in a daze, why don't you ask a few more?" "He won't kowtow three times.
When the green-robed guest saw that he had won, he didn't care whether Zigong kowtowed or not, and left, Zigong couldn't wait to ask Confucius: "I said Master, there are obviously four seasons in a year, why do you say three seasons?" ”
Confucius looked at the distance and said, "Didn't you see that the person just now was all green?" When you open the eyes of heaven, you will know what that guy is, it is a grasshopper, grasshoppers are born in spring, and they die in autumn, he has never seen winter, and he will be satisfied if you talk about three seasons, and you can't make sense when you talk about four seasons until night. You suffer a loss, kowtow three times, it doesn't matter. ”
"Then why did this guy live for tens of thousands of years? Otherwise, how could you transform into a human form without tens of thousands of years of cultivation? Why hasn't this guy been through the winter for so many years? ”
"Why do you mean so much, I have a lot of things to do, don't always bother me with these low-level and non-high-grade things!" Confucius said unhappily.
"But it's not right for you to say that, Master, you have to be responsible, a gentleman should be a man and not do something, you don't have this iron and stone plum blossom spirit, you see people and talk about people, and you talk nonsense when you see ghosts, this cultivation is a big problem!" After Zigong said that, he no longer condensed the old man Kongqiu.
"You're quite stubborn, it seems that the teacher is too tactful, it's the teacher's fault! A gentleman should stick to something! After Confucius finished speaking, he walked into the house. Summer insects can't talk about ice, which means: can't talk about ice with insects that grow in summer. The metaphor of time limits one's insight. It is also a metaphor for people's short-sightedness and ignorance of the big truth. What kind of ice do you talk to summer bugs? That's you foolishness.
Let's talk about the origin of this green-robed guest, this guy was originally a grasshopper in the space of Zigong Nuwa Stone, there must be no winter there, with the help of the spatial spiritual power of Nuwa Stone, this cyan grasshopper with a little wisdom can speak temporarily.
After years of training, he hid on the back of the three hairs and ran out together when the Kunpeng came out, and he had not experienced winter yet, he only came to this world for three seasons, and of course he would not believe in the existence of winter if he killed it.
The Zhuangzi Collected Interpretations, Volume 6, and the Zhuangzi Outer Chapters, Autumn Water, also record these contents of what Confucius said. At that time, Confucius meant that if a worm had a life cycle of only a few months in summer, and you told it what ice was, it wouldn't know what it was, and it wouldn't be able to imagine what that thing was, because its life cycle never passed through winter!
But this grasshopper actually lived for a long time, and also lived many winters, and then lived vigorously, and did not worry about the coming of winter! Because it's already cultivated to the fine, what is it no longer afraid of?
Confucius lived in Weiguo for about 10 months, during which many ministers of Weiguo were afraid, this old man Confucius was famous all over the world, if he squeezed out his own high position, what should he do, so there was a villain, and some people slandered in front of Wei Linggong.
At the same time, Wei Linggong also began to be suspicious of Confucius, and sent people to publicly monitor Confucius's actions, which made the old man Confucius sneak around like a thief in Weiguo, which was obviously not in line with the character of the old man Confucius, so Confucius planned to take his disciples to leave Weiguo, and he had to prepare funds before leaving, and this task was handed over to Zigong.
Next is Confucius with 3,000 disciples like a lost dog mixed rivers and lakes, but Confucius gave these stories a nice name called Yezi traveled around the world, heard Confucius say that he planned to travel abroad, Zilu as a big disciple, the senior brother among the disciples, gladly willing to go shopping, and immediately resigned to Wei Linggong, although Wei Linggong admired Zilu very much, but I heard that he wanted to travel, long knowledge, and agreed!
Nanzi was also sad for a while when he heard that Zilu was going to follow Old Man Kong to the end of the world. After 14 years of mixing rivers and lakes, not long after returning to defend the country, Zilu became an official again. That's an afterword!
Let's start with the most troublesome problem, which is to raise funds for traveling around the world, and Azi's business empire has also been opened, and a huge auction is planned to be held, which is the most profitable purchase.
Zigong is a veteran of the auction, and he has also auctioned a lot of things in the auction, and he is very skilled! The venue was chosen in the Zangzhen Pavilion, and for this matter, Zigong specially bought a large bronze bell and hit it with a giant tree, and the sound could be heard in the entire royal city. The time is scheduled to start at 8 o'clock the next day, and the shooting will officially start at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. No limit, until the end of the shooting, everyone has enough time to gather wealth.
In the era of cold weapons, the richest are first of all robbers and bandits, followed by the masters of fighting bandits and confiscating silver, these two types of people make money with strong blood, and at the same time there are strong historical contradictions, and it is easy to fight.
What Ah Ci has to do is to ensure the safety of these people's lives, otherwise, he will lose the credibility of playing the real pavilion, and whoever has the treasure in the future will dare to come to the auction of the real pavilion to trade.
Confucius was dressed in black armor, because the sage of Confucius was tall and big, that is, the shoes, they were almost half a meter long, such a giant who was afraid to see it, so he was the boss to maintain the order of the auction, the old man Kong felt that this was also very popular, and he was making money for himself, because Zigong was too old, and the money earned was not left, except for the cost of traveling around the world, so he strode out of the ranks and became the responsibility of this coach!
"Zilu listened to the order and ordered you to command the first battalion of the Duanmu Mansion family and be responsible for patrolling in the east of the city."
"Ziyou listened to the order and ordered you to command the second battalion of the Duanmu Mansion family and be responsible for patrolling in the south of the city."
"Min Ziqian listened to the order and ordered you to command the third battalion of the Duanmu Mansion family and be responsible for patrolling in the west of the city."
"Ran Boniu listened to the order and ordered you to command the fourth battalion of the Duanmu Mansion family and be responsible for patrolling in the north of the city."
Among the disciples who are qualified to be military generals, they have all been appointed, and after receiving the order, they quickly leave to do their own things.
"Little brute, you are presiding over this auction, how is it?" Ah Ci turned his head to look at the hook ring with a somewhat restrained face, this girl is good at fighting, but she has never done it in the auction.
"This little brute girl must do her best." Gou Huan's tone trembled slightly, and she was still a little afraid, she had heard of this auction, it turned out to be a person from all over the world, who came here to trade, and she will preside over this auction, how awesome it is, it will be a grand event that will be passed down through the ages.
