Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Road is Like a Tiger
Confucius poured a cup of tea for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu took it with satisfaction and took a sip!
Although it is just a few words, it shows the arrogance of Lao Tzu, and under Lao Tzu's calm appearance, there is an ambition that defies the ancients.
The avenue just now represents Lao Tzu's thoughts, proves his greatness with his thoughts, and impresses Confucius, and this cup of tea is the best result.
Confucius personally poured himself a cup of tea, but was he impressed by his own thoughts?
Lao Tzu showed a look of satisfaction, and the surrounding Lao Tzu students showed a look of pride.
Confucius? That's it.
Confucius handed over a cup of tea, pondered for a while, and nodded, "Sir's words, let me suddenly open my mouth, I am Confucian Chongli, Shangren!" At the beginning of human nature, there is nothing as good as water! Everyone is on top, and the water is alone; Everyone is easy, and water is alone; Everyone is clean, and the water is filthy alone. Where there are all the evils of people, who is the husband to fight with? That's why it's good! ”
After Confucius finished speaking, Lao Tzu, who had drunk half of the tea, suddenly had a meal.
"Huh?" Lao Tzu paused and looked at Confucius in surprise.
You must know that Lao Tzu just told his thoughts, which seemed to impress Confucius, but in an instant, Confucius's powerful understanding transformed Lao Tzu's thoughts into Confucianism.
This momentary comprehension, this terrifying talent, made Lao Tzu have to take a closer look at Confucius in front of him.
You know, the thought that Lao Tzu just said is not simple, even if his best students want to understand it, it will take a lot of time, not to mention accept it after understanding, and Confucius only poured tea for a short time, and he completely understood it, not only accepted, but also converted it into his Confucianism.
This talent made Lao Tzu frightened, at least, no one in his group of students had such a powerful talent as Confucius.
Tea, not so tasty.
"Smack!"
Lao Tzu put down the teacup. I looked at Confucius carefully.
Confucius also smiled slightly: "In the country of Lu, I heard the name of Lao Tzu, Taoist thought is famous all over the world, I used 30 years, to understand a Confucianism, a few days ago, the avenue was formed, but I don't know how effective it is, I came to Luoyi, please Mr. advice!" ”
"Confucianism?" Lao Tzu looked at Confucius.
Confucius nodded: "I hope to give you advice!" ”
"How do you think I can be unrelenting?" Lao Tzu smiled slightly.
"With the most severe and demanding gaze, pick on me, and I will accept it humbly!" Confucius said solemnly.
Lao Tzu stretched out his right hand and motioned for Confucius to start.
Confucius sat upright, and behind him, a large white river suddenly soared into the sky.
"Boom!"
Haoran righteousness shrouded the entire mountain in all directions, and the river was monstrous, rushing straight to the sky.
The faces of all Lao Tzu's students suddenly changed.
"Boom!"
I saw that the rolling river of righteous qi spread out in mid-air, and above the heads of everyone, a huge sea of righteous qi was spread.
The sea of righteous qi is three thousand miles huge, and the white Confucian Taoist roulette wheel inside slowly rotates, and the sound of Confucian Dao comes out one after another.
"Learn and learn, don't you also say? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? ”
"I have three provinces in my day!"
"The use of courtesy, harmony is precious!"
"Reviewing the past and learning the new can be a teacher!"
"If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die!"
…………………………
………………
…………
Bursts of sound of the avenue poured out, and the entire mountain and all directions were full of this vast sound, which was vast and unparalleled, and the righteousness was all over the sky.
The Confucian Avenue shows its domineering might.
The sea of avenues is vast, and the righteousness seems to have the effect of cleansing the soul.
Lie Yukou and other Lao Tzu students all gasped. Is this edifying us?
Because everyone follows Lao Tzu's students, they naturally have their own avenues, and because of the avenues of fellow practitioners, they understand the power of Confucius's avenue, leading people to goodness, being neutral, and unstoppable.
In the past, when I heard about the sea of three thousand miles of avenue, I didn't think so, after all, the power of the avenue is not only the size of the sea of avenues, but also the power of the realm.
At this moment, as soon as the Confucianism and Taoism realm came out, all the Lao Tzu students held their breath.
"Poetry and Book Rites and Joy Spring and Autumn?" Lao Tzu looked at the slowly rotating Confucian roulette wheel in the sky and said calmly.
"Please!" Confucius said confidently.
Realizing one's own avenue, one naturally has a strong confidence in one's own avenue, which is not only pride, but also a kind of determination.
Confucius stared at Lao Tzu, waiting for Lao Tzu's answer.
Lao Tzu took a deep breath, and then showed a chuckle: "Your desire to win is too heavy!" ”
"How? How can you not insist on your own avenue! Don't you have the desire to win? Confucius stared at Lao Tzu and said.
"If there is no quarrel with the world, no one in the world can fight with it, just like I just said, my way, follow the water virtue!" Lao Tzu laughed.
Confucius has a slightly gloomy face, and if he has no quarrel with the world, no one in the world can compete with him? Is this called not having the heart to win? You think you are the best in the world, you think you have no opponents, and you look down on the world, so you have no quarrel with the world!
No one in the world can compete with it? You're such a big breath! What kind of water virtue, you directly say, you yourself are invincible in the world, isn't it?
Lao Tzu's words fell, and he saw that Confucius seemed to be unconvinced, but he smiled slightly and looked up at the sky.
Just as he looked up at the sky, the void in all directions was suddenly surrounded by purple qi, and the rolling purple qi covered the sky, as if the entire mountain was enveloped in all directions.
Originally, there were all Haoran righteousness within three thousand miles, but at this moment, as soon as the purple qi came out, covering the sky and the sun, the entire range of Haoran righteousness was completely encircled, and Confucius's sea of three thousand miles of avenue was suddenly submerged by the purple qi.
"Huh?" Confucius's expression moved.
I understand that this is Lao Tzu's way to show it.
"The Tao is the way, the very way; The name is famous, and it is very ............! ”
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are ............ dogs!"
"Good is like water, and water benefits all things without ......!"
……………………
………………
…………
A burst of sounds rang out.
Confucius and Lao Tzu were still sitting on the boulder, and they seemed to slowly close their eyes.
At this moment, the two avenues are intertwined.
"Boom!"
Haoran righteousness and moral purple qi collided fiercely.
There was a loud bang, the void shook, and a group of Lao Tzu students suddenly sat cross-legged to resist the mental impact brought by the impact of the Great Dao.
"Boom!"
For a time, the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism continued to impact each other.
And Confucius also instantly felt that it was tricky.
Because Confucius felt that his avenue was surrounded by the other party, and the sea of three thousand miles of avenue was actually surrounded by purple qi. That's not a good thing.
Confucius wanted to rush through the purple qi shroud, at least to win the freedom of one side, otherwise, he would have been wrapped in purple qi, but it seemed that he was constantly digested by it.
Haoran's righteous qi is constantly expanding, and the Confucian Dao roulette wheel is also moving rapidly, but the range of this purple qi seems to be boundless. There is no end to it.
"What? So big? Confucius's face was slightly gloomy.
At this moment, within the scope of purple qi, there are even streams of great water, surrounded by the sea of white avenues, surrounded by great water, which is gradually dissipating the righteous qi of Haoran, and squeezing and destroying the realm of Confucianism and Taoism.
In the past, Confucius always thought that his Confucianism and Taoism had become great, and even if he met Lao Tzu, he could compete with him, but at this moment, he was shocked to find that his avenue was all in the palm of Lao Tzu's hands. Leave it to its end?
"Hehe, hehehe, what a moral purple gas!" Confucius's face turned ugly for a while.
"Boom!"
No matter how Confucius used the method of the Great Dao, it seemed that he could not escape the range of purple qi, and Confucius's face became more and more ugly.
Lao Tzu sat quietly with his eyes closed, motionless.
If this continues, one's own avenue will be wiped out. Naturally, Confucius was not going to sit still. The mind sank into the avenue completely.
"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
I saw that the Confucian and Taoist roulette wheel in the sky, with the injection of Confucius's soul, suddenly let out a loud roar.
Under the roar, I saw that the Confucian roulette wheel turned into a white tiger.
The tiger was huge, and with a loud roar, the endless righteous qi boiled for a while, and the endless purple qi also trembled.
The strong tiger roar brought out the purest sound of righteousness in heaven and earth, and the sound of righteousness was vast, rushing straight to the Quartet.
"Poof!"
Lao Tzu's students were so shocked by this tiger roar that they each spurted out a mouthful of blood. Shocked.
All the Lao Tzu students closed their eyes and kept reciting Lao Tzu Dao to resist the demons brought by Confucius Dao.
"Roar!"
The white tiger was hideous, and after roaring fiercely, it rampaged with endless righteous qi, trying to break out of the purple qi cage.
"Whoa!"
In the purple gas, the water suddenly became monstrous, entangled and impacting the white tiger.
The white tiger has been impacted by the water again and again, but it can't be impacted.
"It's a good moral field, it can't be without flaws!" Confucius said with an ugly face.
"Water is more than the Tao: the Tao is omnipresent, the water is not disadvantageous, avoiding the high and trending downward, not reversing, and being good at the ground; The empty place is quiet, unfathomable, and good is the abyss; Loss is not revealed, giving is not seeking retribution, and kindness is benevolent; The ring must be turned, the square must be broken, the plug must be stopped, the flow must be determined, and the good and trustworthy will also be; Wash the filth, level the high, and govern things well; To plant is floating, to learn is clear, to attack is strong and invincible, make good use of energy; Reluctant day and night, Yingke is backward and waits for time. Therefore the Holy One walks at any time; The sage should change; The wise rule by inaction; Those who reach the sky are born with the sky. Lao Tzu said calmly.
Word by word, but the sound shook the heavens and the earth, as if the heavens and the earth were the most rational in the universe, in the sky, with the great water to impact the sea of Confucius's avenue.
In the blink of an eye, Confucius's Great Dao Sea was only left with a white tiger transformed by the Great Dao Roulette.
"Roar!"
Unwilling to be defeated, the white tiger let out a final cry of rage and pounced on the water again.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
With a loud bang, the white tiger drowned in the water and encountered an unprecedented squeeze.
"Ahh Confucius let out a loud cry of pain.
The water made a loud noise, and I vaguely saw that the white tiger transformed by the Confucian and Taoist roulette wheel was squeezed and exploded.
"Bang!"
The water slowly receded.
The purple qi between heaven and earth also slowly receded, and the white qi dissipated.
The fragments of the white tiger were returned to Confucius's body.
"Buzz!"
Confucius seemed to be counterattacked, and a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out, but he was restrained by Confucius, and only a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Open your eyes and look at Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu also opened his eyes at the right time.
"Your avenue, you need to be arrogant in words, in addition to the desire to look, otherwise people have not arrived and the voice has been heard, the body has not arrived and the wind has moved, public, like a tiger walking on the street, who dares to use your avenue?" Lao Tzu looked at Confucius and smiled slightly.
In a short speech, it seems that Confucius's Confucianism and Taoism are criticized as incomplete, not only the body of Confucius's criticism is incomplete, but Confucius's Confucianism and Taoism are also crushed and exhausted by Lao Tzu's moral field.
Confucius understood that this time, his Confucianism and Taoism were lost.
Losing on their own is not mature enough.
Losing is underestimating the power of Lao Tzu Avenue.
"Thank you, Lao Tzu, for being taught! Say goodbye! ”
Confucius took the tea on the small stove on the side again, poured another cup for Lao Tzu, pushed it to Lao Tzu, and then solemnly saluted and said goodbye to Lao Tzu!
Confucius admitted that he had lost this time, and naturally he had no desire to stay.
Lao Tzu nodded, motioned to the students to line up and send Confucius away!
