Chapter 163: Lao Tzu Li Er's Big Secret
"The Tao is good! Very Dao! The name is named! Very famous! Not! The beginning of the world! Yes! The mother of all things! Therefore, there is no ......" Fang Jishi looked at Lao Tzu and said with a smile.
"Wait! Wait a minute! Lao Tzu's face changed suddenly, he looked at Fang Jishi in astonishment, and interrupted: "You? You? What did you say? ”
"I said!"
"Dao?" Lao Tzu was shocked and asked, "What is the Tao?" ”
"You ask me? Who do I ask? Hehehe......" Fang Jishi looked at Lao Tzu and laughed.
"You, you, you? You just now? What did you just read? You? How do you know about my article? ”
"Your article?"
"Right? What you just read is the article I wrote? Still? Still? Haven't finalized yet, I'm me? I'm too ashamed to show people! You? How do you know? You? ”
Lao Tzu never thought that this great god of Lu would know my secret?
He has been studying moral doctrine for a long time, but he has always felt that he cannot justify himself in theory, so! Shame to see people. Only when he thinks that his theory can be established and can withstand scrutiny, does he plan to show it to a few friends, so that they can refer to it, give guidance, and improve his theory. Outcome! This, this, this?
How did he know about the great god of Lu?
Seeing that Lao Tzu was puzzled, Fang Jishi explained: "Didn't I say it? I'm here two thousand years later! So! I know everything. Didn't you say that I could be a prophet and have the skills of that prophet? What do I know in the next 2,000 years? ”
"Oh?" Lao Tzu remembered, as if he had said it before. "And what do you know?"
"I know that the article you wrote is called the Tao Te Ching......"
"No!" Lao Tzu interrupted: "It is called 'Tao Jing' and 'De Jing', which are divided into two parts. The front is the Tao Sutra, which explains what the Tao is, and it is a theory. The back is the Book of Virtues, which talks about virtue and is the application of ......"
"Isn't it the Tao Te Ching?"
Lao Tzu pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes! ”
"That? Do you want me to memorize your Tao Te Ching? ”
Lao Tzu's old face blushed, and the white hair on his head shook. Looking at that, he can't get out of the ordinary. was revealed a little secret, and his heart fluctuated greatly.
"Can you memorize it?"
"Yes!"
"Then you can recite it to me? Is there any difference between the Tao Te Ching and the first draft I wrote more than 2,000 years later? ”
"It's definitely different!" Fang Jishi replied: "I read on the Internet that there are many versions of the Tao Te Ching, and the previous versions did not have punctuation, and the punctuation marks were added by later people. So! With punctuation, the structure of the text changes, and so does the meaning. And also! Ancient words are different from modern words, some words cannot be translated, and may not be the meaning of ancient words......"
"Oh?" Lao Tzu listened and nodded.
Fang Jishi memorized the 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching from "Tao Ke Dao" to "The way of heaven, benefit but not harm; The way of the saint is indisputable. "The end.
Lao Tzu sat opposite, a little collapsed.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and said tremblingly: "You? You? You are the great god of the country of Lu! True! True! True gods and men too! ”
"Hehehe......" Fang Jishi looked at Lao Tzu and laughed again.
Seeing Lao Tzu's stunned appearance, he couldn't get rid of it, and couldn't help shaking his head again.
In front of Fang Jishi, Lao Tzu suddenly had a sense of failure that the secret was revealed.
"You, you, you? What did you memorize? Is it really the Tao Te Ching more than 2,000 years later? ”
"yes?"
"It's it, it's? It's more detailed than what I'm writing now! Thank you! ”
"I didn't peek at your first draft, did I? Hehehe......" Fang Jishi smiled.
Lao Tzu's face flushed, and he was embarrassed.
"Nope! No! ”
"Do you believe me?"
"Believe!"
"You?" Fang Jishi couldn't help laughing and said seriously: "Actually! Although I can memorize the Tao Te Ching, I don't understand it, I'm not interested in Taoism, I prefer Confucianism......"
"Confucianism? Is there still Confucianism in this world? ”
"Yes! A doctrine that has a deeper and broader influence than your Taoist doctrine, the world I live in, all follow Confucianism. Right now! Confucius Institutes have been set up all over the world......
"Me? How much more can my doctrine influence for more than 2,000 years? ”
"Yes?"
Lao Tzu looked at Fang Jishi in disbelief, and asked, "What kind of Confucianism is that?" Awesomely? ”
"It's amazing!"
"What doctrine is it?"
"I can't tell you for a while! Let's put it this way! Fang Jishi spread his hands and said, "This is an academic sect that has not yet been formed!" Its founder is in the country of Lu! He's younger than you! ”
"Oh?"
"He should be eighteen years old this year......"
"Eighteen?" Lao Tzu seemed very panicked, and the sense of failure was even more serious. There was a hint of frustration in his tone.
"He's nothing yet! A trumpeter who blows the trumpet for someone else's funeral......"
"This, this, this?"
"His doctrine was developed later! Don't talk about that! Later, he came to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to ask you for advice? ”
"He asked me for advice? Why is he so talented, and he still needs to ask me for advice? ”
"He's a post-scholar, you're a senior! Your Taoist doctrine spread first, decades before his Confucianism, almost nearly a hundred years! ”
"Oh?"
"When I was in that world, more than 2,000 years later, I was a soldier before, a soldier in the special forces, very powerful. Later, I retired and was hired to work as a guard at the Confucius Institute in the island country, and then I crossed over in an accident......"
"What happened? Did you cross over? Lao Tzu asked with interest.
"Confucianism has influenced not only Chinese culture, but also the world. So! Our country is spreading Confucian culture all over the world and opening Confucius Institutes. But what? O foreign hostile elements! They think it's a cultural invasion? So! Don't let us spread Confucian culture in their country......"
"Oh! I get it! Just like in modern society, there is one law for each vassal state, and the law is different for each vassal state. If you go to another country to publicize your policies and ideas, people will be unhappy and will drive you away! Lao Tzu explained.
"Yes! The children can be taught! Hehehe! ”
Fang Jishi then said: "So! And they came and made trouble. What about me! As the guardian of the Confucius Institute, I stood up to defend it. Outcome! I was swept over by a glass of little devils, I thought I was dead, but I crossed over, and I came to the Spring and Autumn Period. Hey! I actually traveled to the country of Lu and met Confucius......"
"Confucius?"
"Confucius! He is the founder of Confucianism. You are the founder of Taoist doctrine, and you are all pre-Qin sages! Amazing characters......"
"You're also an amazing character!"
"Where? Where? Our cornerstone is in front of you, and I'm weak! ”
"Nope! You are my teacher! ”
"Where, where? Kill me! I don't dare, I don't dare! ”
"You're my teacher! Thank you! Thank you! ”
"Thanks for what? Thank me? Fang Jishi hurriedly waved his hands, indicating that he didn't dare to accept it.
"I tell you! I'm in trouble! I can't write it out! I don't have faith in my theory anymore! Thank you! You've inspired me......"
"I inspired you?"
"You recited the 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching, which made me suddenly ......"
"You wrote that?"
