Chapter 46 Traveling Around the Nations

Lu country, Qufu Queli!

Confucius returned, and the students naturally greeted him happily.

But Qi Guanchi's weakness cast a layer of worry on the students' hearts.

"Dad, what's wrong with Mom?" Kong Lili shouted anxiously.

"It's okay, my mother can recover after resting!" Qi Guanchi touched his son's head.

"Okay, if there is a problem, I'll talk about it later, let your mother rest first! Let's go out and talk! Confucius said in a deep voice.

"Hmm!" Kong Li wiped his tears and nodded sensibly.

"Chichi, you can sleep again!" Confucius looked at Qi Guanchi and said gently.

Qi Guanchi nodded: "Husband, don't worry about me, I'm much better now, and I'm awake for half a day!" ”

"I know, I know you're getting better, now that you're home, you should get better sooner!" Confucius said gently.

Qi Guanchi nodded, and under the service of Confucius, he fell asleep again.

Confucius also called everyone outside the house. Everyone sat on the floor.

Seventy-two disciples, all looking at Confucius.

"This trip to Luoyi, everything to Hangu Pass, Uncle Nangong Jing, you come and tell everyone about it!" Confucius looked at Nangong Jingshu.

Uncle Nangong Jing's face changed, revealing a look of embarrassment.

Confucius went here, but he lost to Lao Tzu, this, can this be said? Isn't this shaking the teacher's image in the hearts of everyone and praising others?

"Uncle Nangong Jing, to be honest, as a teacher, you don't have this bit of energy, how can I teach you? Smell and end the ceremony, shame and courage! Confucius said calmly.

Uncle Nangong Jing looked at Confucius carefully and found that Confucius was calm and did not have the slightest look of annoyance, and his heart became more and more admired.

"Yes!" Uncle Nangong Jing got up and saluted respectfully.

Then Uncle Nangong Jing told all the things that happened along the way. From just entering Luoyi, being embarrassed and looked down upon by Lao Tzu's student Yang Zhu, to Confucius discussing the Tao with Lao Tzu in Pi Mountain, and the phoenix in the Hou City singing together, to picking up Confucius at Pi Mountain Pass, Confucius vomiting blood and falling into a coma, and then to traveling to Qin to save his teacher, and then to Hangu Pass, the purple air came 30,000 miles from the east!

Hearing this, the seventy-two disciples all showed a look of horror. Confucius Avenue 3,000 miles, is enough shock, Laozi Avenue 30,000 miles, no, after the moral roulette condensation, the avenue is 300,000 miles. It's just a world of difference.

"Lao Tzu's students are amazing? Yang Zhu, what qualifications are there to embarrass the teacher! Zilu suddenly glared and said angrily.

The students were immediately angry.

The teacher went to Luoyi this time, although Lao Tzu sent all the students to greet him in the later period, but it can be seen from Yang Zhu's incident that at first, Lao Tzu and all his students did not take Confucius seriously. Later, Lao Tzu suddenly opened his mouth to salute Confucius, and all his students had no choice but to respect Confucius enough. And this respect does not come from Confucius himself, but from respect for Lao Tzu.

"Bishan argued, Uncle Nangong Jing didn't know, Uncle Nangong Jing only saw vomiting blood for the teacher, and it was true that the avenue at that time was not as good as Lao Tzu!" Confucius said solemnly.

The students fell silent for a moment and looked at Confucius together.

"For example, today, all kinds of doctrines continue to rise, and soon there will be a pattern of a hundred schools of thought, and Lao Tzu in Hangu Pass, handwritten "Tao Te Ching", I think you have also heard, Lao Tzu went to the Qin State Quartet Pavilion to preach, presumably he will also accept disciples, no longer as in the past, extremely critical of students, he will quickly preach the world, at this moment, many people go to Lao Tzu to learn. And you, if you have the heart to leave, and don't embarrass you as a teacher, I also wish you success in your studies! Confucius looked at the seventy-two disciples.

The seventy-two disciples looked at each other, and the teacher let himself go?

Although the teacher spoke, there could be no fake. But at this moment, no one got up.

"Teacher, we have entered Confucianism, the teacher has taught us etiquette, taught us benevolence, and taught us the spirit of perseverance and perseverance. I am good at raising my heroic righteousness! Zilu stood up and said respectfully.

"I am good at raising my heroic righteousness!" All the students shouted together.

At this moment, no one wants to leave Confucius, because from Confucius, they see the pursuit of life, not only the thirst for the great road in the past, but now they have the persistence of faith and belief. This persistence makes them firm and have no regrets even in the face of Lao Tzu's 300,000-mile avenue!

Looking at the insistence of the students in front of him, Confucius's eyes were slightly moist.

"Good, good, good!" Confucius was moved.

"Dad, the child will definitely study hard and never let his father down!" Kong Li, also said firmly.

The seventy-two disciples, their insistence on the Great Dao, seems to have an extremely strong rendering force, which makes Kong Li's blood boil at the moment.

Confucius touched Kong Carp's head, nodded, and smiled.

"After a while, I want to travel around the world! This circumnavigation of the world can take a long time, even decades! Confucius said solemnly.

"Teacher, students are willing to follow the teacher!" Zilu said suddenly.

"I implore the teacher, be sure to bring the students along!"

"Teacher, this time, I can't let Nangong Uncle Jing be in front of the beauty anymore, I have to go too!"

"Teacher, you must take me!"

……………………

………………

…………

In the face of decades of traveling around the world, in the face of ascetic practice without a fixed place, none of the seventy-two disciples flinched and strongly demanded to follow.

Confucius looked at the students and was moved: "Think about it for a while, and then you will talk about it!" ”

"Yes, but I don't have to think about it, as long as the teacher doesn't stop me, I'm definitely going to go!" Zilu said suddenly.

The students expressed their stance one after another.

Confucius calmly lost to Lao Tzu, and this defeat not only disappointed the students, but also made the students impressed by the teacher's open-mindedness.

The seventy-two disciples became more and more firm in their belief in Confucianism.

------------

Confucius is in Qufuque, accompanied by Qi Guanchi!

After several months of cultivation, Qi Guanchi finally recovered a trace of vitality, but he was just like a mortal, moving freely, but he had exhausted his cultivation, and if he wanted to practice again, it would be half the effort.

"Chi Chi, I'm going to travel around the world, although your body and bones are now innumerable, but you can't stand the long-distance bumps at all, or even eat and drink, or you go back first?" Confucius persuaded softly.

Qi Guanchi looked at Confucius: "Go back and wait?" ”

"Yes, because of the relationship between the wheel of life, the time of the two eras is not equal, go back to the future, etc., at most three or four months, I can return! And here, for many years! Confucius said distressedly.

Qi Guanchi leaned on Confucius's arms and shook his head: "I am willing to wait in this era, I want to go back with you!" ”

"But ......!" Confucius worried.

"Kong Carp is still young, and he hasn't learned much yet, you said that you won't take Kong Carp with you on this trip, I will stay, and I can also take care of Kong Carp!" Qi Guanchi said gently.

"Kong Li, he's not too young, he doesn't need you to take care of it! Although you look better now, I know that the wear and tear of that day will leave you with the root of the disease, and you will always be in pain! Confucius worried.

Qi Guanchi looked at Confucius and shook his head: "Husband, I know how difficult it is to achieve enlightenment, and it must be extremely hard for you to travel around the world. Maybe it's smooth, but maybe it's also very rebellious, it's a practice, and it's also an ordeal! ”

"I'm ......!"

"Listen to me first, husband! I know you're going to have a hard time, but I can't help you with anything! The more this happens, the more uncomfortable I feel in my heart, so I can't go! ”

"Why?"

"On the way around the world, no matter how difficult the moment is, you can remind you that there is such a person who loves you deeply, waiting for you to come home!" Qi Guanchi looked at Confucius gently.

"Me!" Confucius was suddenly moved in his heart.

Although Qi Guanchi does not have a path of cultivation, he understands that the hope in the bottom of his heart is the driving force to break through all impossible tribulations.

Whenever I encounter difficulties and hurdles that I can't overcome, there is always a hope waiting for me to push myself forward. And Qi Guanchi is willing to do this bond, this motivation, although he lives in Qufu alone, but he affects Confucius, so that Confucius can overcome all difficulties and go home in the future.

"Husband, can I do something for you?" Qi Guanchi said gently.

"Marrying you is a blessing for your husband in this life!" Confucius hugged Qi Guanchi tightly.

"Husband!" Qi Guanchi also gently hugged Confucius.

-------------

After a few months of cultivation in Qufuque, the seventy-two disciples, without hesitation, all had to travel around the world with Confucius.

In the end, Confucius decided to take all of them, and there were only nine golden crow princes, who took turns to wait in Qufuque, and agreed to fly to Confucius's convoy in turn every certain time, and deliver a letter to Confucius.

Before leaving, a group of students waited.

Kong Li's face showed reluctance, and his eyes moistened: "Dad, the child wants to go too!" ”

Confucius gently touched Kong Li's head and said with a slight smile: "Ziyu won't leave for the time being, you should learn from Ziyu!" After a while, I will ask your senior brother to bring the exam papers, you have to study hard! ”

"Woooooooo Kong Li's crying was very sad for a while.

Kong Li also understands that when his father leaves, he doesn't know when he will be able to meet.

Confucius's eyes were also full of reluctance, but this was not the time to procrastinate, so he patted his head lightly and handed Kong Carp to Ziyu.

Ziyu hugged the crying Kong carp and was about to persuade him softly. Kong Li wiped away his tears: "Dad, the child must work hard not to disappoint Dad!" ”

Confucius looked at the carp with satisfaction.

Compared with Ji Niannian, Wang Peng, and Long Ji, although Kong Li's talent is not as good as theirs, Kong Li's talent is not as good as theirs, but Kong Li's talent shows a more resolute and unwavering determined character, and Confucius is more and more satisfied.

Confucius appeased his son, and then looked at Qi Guanchi.

Although Qi Guanchi's eyes were full of reluctance, he was extremely strong in the face of Confucius: "Don't worry about being at home, there is me at home!" ”

Confucius looked at Qi Guanchi and nodded movingly.

Turning his head, Confucius followed the group of students to the carriage. Just as he was about to step into the carriage.

"Kongqiu!" Qi Guanchi couldn't help but shout again.

Confucius turned his head to look.

Qi Guan's red eyes were already moist, and he bit his lip to prevent tears from falling.

"Remember to miss me!" Qi Guanchi's voice was a little hoarse.

Confucius looked at Qi Guanchi and nodded solemnly: "Okay!" ”

Confucius didn't dare to look at Qi Guanchi anymore, and stepped into the carriage.

"Let's go!" Confucius spoke.

The students turned around and bowed respectfully to the teacher, and then the carriage began to leave Qufuque.

Seeing Confucius's carriage leave, Qi Guanchi's tears could no longer hold back.

PS: Happy New Year to everyone!
