The group continued to drive the car and headed south.

Following the crowd, Lei Jun could already distinguish the famous disciples: the one who was thin and small, with little white head was Yan Hui, who looked a little malnourished, probably caused by "a spoonful of food and a scoop of drink"; The big man who drove the car was Zilu; The one with a white face and a fast speech is Zigong; The expression is always respectful and obedient, and the one who takes care of the horse before and after the saddle is Zengzi......

The sun was very strong, everyone walked sweating like rain, but silently, Lei Jun began to worry about the ham sausage he gave to Confucius, although it was just taken out of the supermarket cold storage at noon today, but it was exposed to the heat of more than 30 degrees, and they could stink in the evening......

He was looking down and thinking in a daze, not noticing that Zeng Zi came to him.

"The teacher told you two to get to the car." He said, "The teacher said that he wanted to talk to you. ”

When Lei Jun heard this, he quickly dragged Fang Wuying, and they quickly followed the cart in front, climbed up, and got into the curtain.

"Sit down." Confucius motioned to the straw mat in the car, and Lei Jun and Fang Wuying followed the example of the ancients and knelt in front of Confucius.

"The two of them are from Chu, under the rule of the king of Chu, how is the country now?"

It's such a serious question from the beginning!

Lei Jun secretly complained to himself and began to search for historical records in his mind.

"Uh......" Fang Wuying said first, "The people have been fighting for many years, and the people of the country have worked very hard. ”

"At the stage when King Wu invaded our country, the country withered, and life was not easy." Lei Jun also hurriedly said.

Confucius nodded slightly: "Nowadays, everywhere is fighting for many years, so I want to consult Lao Dan and ask about the avenue of the world." ”

Lei Jun asked: "Master thinks, what is the avenue now?" ”

"The avenue should be benevolent." Confucius said slowly, "Those who can practice the five are benevolent in the world." ”

"What are these five?"

"Gong, lenient, faithful, sensitive, and benevolent. Respect is not insulting, leniency is to win the public, faith is a person, sensitivity is meritorious, and benefit is enough to make people. ”

This is a teaching that has been listened to for thousands of years, but at this moment, coming out of the mouth of the person who founded the teaching, the shock is still not small for Lei Jun.

Fang Wuying smiled and said: "There are all the people in the world, who can change this status quo?" ”

Confucius was for a long time before he said: "There is a way in the world, and Qiu is not easy to do." ”

This is Confucius's consistent thought, even if the whole world is chaotic like a flood, and you are the only one left, you must stick to your ideals to the end.

The topic of discussion was too heavy, Lei Jun wanted to change the atmosphere, he thought about it for a while, and said, "I heard that the master went to see Nanzi?" ”

When Confucius heard this, he burst out laughing.

Nanzi was the wife of Wei Linggong in the Spring and Autumn Period, a famous beauty, a basket of charms, she once claimed to be Confucius's number one fan, and wanted to see Confucius, so Confucius was invited to meet her. In this regard, Confucius's upright disciple Zilu was very dissatisfied.

"I once said to Zilu, if Nanzi is really the kind of person that God hates, how can I go to see her?"

Lei Jun's naughty heart came up, and he stepped forward: "Master, is Nanzi beautiful?" ”

Confucius nodded unashamedly: "Very beautiful." ”

Fang Wuying unceremoniously answered: "I haven't seen a virtuous person like a womanizer!" ”

Confucius laughed: "As Jun said, a beauty like Nanzi, even a bad old man like me, is inevitably tempted!" For this, Zilu blamed me. ”

Fang Wuying was stunned: "Then why do you have to go to see her?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Confucius slowly closed his eyes and did not give an answer.

The car of three people was hot and unbearable, the carriage was jolting forward, only the creaking of the wheels was heard incessantly, and after the autumn of the late spring and autumn, it was even hotter than modern times, and the sun tried to shine through the gaps in the wooden planks, and the dust particles were dancing gracefully in the shimmering light......

"Do you say, Nanzi, she is a bad woman with unforgivable sins?" Confucius suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lei Jun and Fang Wuying.

Lei Jun and the others were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, Lei Jun shook his head: "I don't think Nanzi is a bad woman, she hasn't done anything to harm the country and the people, and she hasn't really had a scandal." A weak woman, because she is too beautiful, is caught by people and talked about ****, I am afraid that these people who say bad things are not right. ”

"What you say is exactly what I think. Who doesn't have something hidden that they don't want to know? Who has not been embarrassed so that he cannot help himself? So, I don't think Nanzi is a bad woman. ”

Fang Wuying thought for a moment and said, "Master's words reminded me of a person. ”

"Who?"

"A man named 'Jesus.'" Fang Wuying said, "He was born in Jerusalem, also known as the Western Flame Sunset Country, where there is no soil but stones, and under the stones there is black grease that can be used to light lamps and drive wheels. The people of the land exchanged the oil for food, and this Jesus, known as a sage by the people, is said to have fed 5,000 people with five fish and two loaves of bread, and who healed and raised the dead, and that he himself was crucified and reborn. ”

Confucius frowned slightly: "Hmm, the Western Flame Sunset Country? Never heard of it. ”

Fang Wuying pretended not to see Lei Jun's shocked expression, and continued: "One day, the local people caught a woman who was committing adultery and wanted to stone her to death. Then the man named Jesus said, "Whoever is white and unblemished among you, and has never done the slightest wrong, let him be stoned at her." ”

Confucius became interested: "What happened later? ”

"Later, when everyone thought about it, they felt that they had done something wrong, so no one stoned the woman."

Confucius laughed.

"Master, I think what Master just said is the same as this person's thoughts." Fang Wuying said, "Regarding Nanzi's attitude, the master is very fair. ”

"You two don't seem to be ordinary people." Confucius touched his beard, "It should be a rare hermit in the Chu State, right?" ”

Lei Jun smiled bitterly and wiped his sweat: "Where, the two of us are only shallow in learning, and we know very little things, so we want to learn from the master." ”

That night, after everyone rested in the wilderness, Lei Jun took advantage of no one's attention and rebuked Fang Wuying in a low voice, blaming this guy for not mentioning Jesus to Confucius.

"It's going to change history! If Confucius praised Jesus in the Analects, what would it be? Lei Jun complained, "Zi said: Jesus of Jerusalem is really a great sage—is this like a word?" ”

"Then Christianity was introduced to China ahead of schedule." Fang Wuying couldn't help but be happy, "It's okay, Jesus is still a few hundred years away." ”

"But you told Confucius about his existence in advance!"

"The Master won't believe it." Fang Wuying waved his hand, "Didn't you see it, what did he say to me about the expression of the Western Flame Sunset Country?" And I said that Jesus was disdainful when he was resurrected? The son does not speak of strangeness, force, chaos, and God. No matter how much Confucius admired Jesus' actions, he would never tell his disciples about such strange and destructive things, let alone let them record them. ”

Thinking that Fang Wuying was right, Lei Jun was calm.
