Chapter 512: Lao Tzu Meets Confucius
The moon is bright in the sky, and the night breeze is gentle. In the surrounding hiding room, there are the wailing sounds of rats from time to time, breaking the silence here.
Sky! Unconsciously, it lit up.
Zhang Shanfeng didn't need anyone's instructions, he got up habitually and went to make breakfast. After making breakfast, he went to wash up alone.
When the guards saw that Zhang Shanfeng was up, they all got up one by one and went to clean up in the courtyard. Or! Go to the Zhou storage room and wipe down the bookshelves and bamboo slips on the shelves.
Today was an exception, after the guards arrived at the Zhou Tibetan room, they saw that Confucius was still reading over there, so they gently retreated.
When Lao Tzu came to read a book, he would not allow others to disturb him. So! They don't dare to disturb the reader, no matter who the reader is.
Furthermore! The hygiene in the storage room is not cleaned every day, not wiped every day. Lao Tzu stipulates that it should be wiped at least once a month, and there is no need for more. But! The Zhou storage room is very large, and there are many books, and it can't be completed in a few days after wiping it once. So! You can come in and wipe it almost every day. Wipe some a day, and when you're done, you can start over again.
The guards on duty were relieved to see that everyone was up. The night shift finally got through.
Graveyard shift! The most feared is the "big night shift", which is the most difficult from the beginning of the child to the dawn.
Fang Jishi cultivated for a while, and then he got up habitually. He didn't go to wash, but! First go to the yard to practice martial arts and move your muscles and bones.
When the guards saw the Great God Fang Cornerstone practicing in the courtyard, none of them had the heart to work, and they all gathered around to watch. The guards who swept the yard directly supported the broom on the ground and stood there watching.
Seeing that the martial arts of the great god were just like that, I didn't feel a little disappointed. can think about people's actual combat ability, and can't help but admire.
The martial arts performance of the great god is not so exciting, but! Utility!
Lao Tzu pretended to be posturing for a while, and also withdrew from the cultivation state. Before withdrawing, he went to see Confucius again. Last night! Through the eye of heaven, he has been to the Zhou Tibetan Room countless times. The result was the same every time, Confucius was concentrating on reading.
Confucius reads books attentively, not on pretenses. Unlike those children who don't like to study, reading books is just for adults and parents.
After washing, everyone waited for breakfast.
Zhang Shanfeng had already prepared breakfast according to the usual practice, and waited for everyone to come over to eat after washing.
Lao Tzu and Fang Jishi sat down in front of the desk and did not eat immediately, but! Waited.
Today! It's not these people who eat, but also a "honorable" guest. This guest was none other than a future sage, and his name was Confucius.
"Did you call him?" Fang Jishi looked at Zhang Shanfeng and asked.
Zhang Shanfeng shook his head, indicating that he did not call.
"You didn't call him?" Fang Jishi said again: "You didn't call him, he wasn't paralyzed by hunger, he wouldn't come out to eat!" ”
"Hehehe!" Lao Tzu smirked on the side.
"I'll call him!" One of the guards volunteered to call Confucius.
He didn't know that Zhang Shanfeng and Confucius knew each other. In the past, Fang Jishi took him to Confucius's house and kowtowed to Confucius.
The guard came to the Zhou Tibetan room, stood in front of the desk where Confucius was reading, patted the bamboo slips on it with his hand, and said, "Sir! It's time for breakfast! ”
"Smack!"
Hearing the sound of the guard's hand clapping the bamboo slips, Confucius was very upset and glanced at the guard. And then! Keep your head down and continue reading. He replied casually, "Bring me the food!" ”
"End? Brought to the end? The guards froze.
Confucius had no more follow-up and continued to read his book. After a while, perhaps remembering, the guard hadn't left yet, so he raised his head and glanced at the guard.
"I still have so much left unfinished!" Confucius said, opening all the bamboo slips and showing them to the guards.
That means! When I've seen so much, I'll come out and eat again.
"Eat first! Don't have to wait for me! Confucius added.
"Nerd!" The guard muttered, left the Zhou Zang, and came back to tell the story of what had happened.
"Let's eat! Don't wait for him! Lao Tzu said, picked up the bowl, and took the lead in eating.
Fang Jishi smiled: "You just listen to him?" When he finished reading that book, he would habitually pick up another one, endlessly. ”
Talking! He also took the bowl and ate it.
Zhang Shanfeng originally wanted to call it, but after seeing Lao Tzu's attitude, there was nothing to do. Not in normal times, this is in extraordinary times!
What extraordinary times?
Confucius came to "greet Lao Tzu", is there such a "greeting"?
If you come to ask for a salute, you should treat the salutation as the first thing and the book as the second.
So! Zhang Shanfeng will not be troubled and will not take the initiative to call Confucius.
After eating breakfast, as Fang Jishi expected, Confucius did not come out. Not to mention that one book has been read, the next book may be finished.
Ancient bamboo slips, a volume does not have many words. If it's a large letter, the number of words is even less. The characters on the bamboo slips are generally relatively large. Because! The words are too small to burn and inconvenient. So! There are not many words on a roll of bamboo slips.
This is Confucius, who loves to learn! Not a disadvantage, but an advantage!
But! This advantage is a bit inappropriate in this case.
To know! You are here to ask for advice, you should have a priority.
After Lao Tzu finished eating, he crossed his legs there again and began to cultivate.
After a while, the whole Zhou Tibetan room seemed to change its smell and became solemn. The guards knew what day it was, and they all held their breath and watched what was coming.
Zhang Shanfeng naturally sat cross-legged on the side, practicing his "Open Heavenly Eye" kung fu, and watched Confucius's every move through inward vision.
Fang Jishi smiled, and he was embarrassed to go to Confucius, so as not to make Lao Tzu angry.
So! The entire courtyard of the Zhou Tibetan Room was exceptionally quiet.
After a long while, Lao Tzu opened his eyes, glanced at Fang Jishi and Zhang Shanfeng, and prepared to get up.
Zhang Shanfeng happened to see this scene through the open eyes of the sky, and knew that Lao Tzu didn't have that patience, so he got up first.
Under Zhang Shanfeng's movements, Fang Jishi also opened his eyes. People who sit cross-legged in silence have a particularly sensitive perception ability, and they can perceive a little noise around them.
Lao Tzu stood up and walked to the Zhou Zang Room.
Seeing this, Fang Jishi hurriedly followed.
Zhang Shanfeng grimaced and followed behind.
When the guards saw Lao Tzu going to the Zhou Zang Room, they seemed to smell the smell of fire, medicine and medicine, and they all followed.
Lao Tzu came to the desk and looked at Confucius, who was reading a book behind the desk. Seeing that Confucius was still like that, he didn't feel it at all, and he laughed angrily.
Fang Jishi also stood aside, looking anxiously at Confucius. Only then did he realize that Confucius was not only much older, but also uglier. After several nights of staying up on end, his eyes were sunken.
Zhang Shanfeng stood aside, looking at Confucius, looking gloating.
