Who? Coming to kill the inhabitants of this land again?

This land originally belonged to Lu Zhaogong. Later, Lu Zhaogong wanted to seal it to him, but he did not accept it. Later, it became a military training ground. Here, he trained a powerful army for Lu Zhaogong.

But later Lu Zhaogong insisted on going his own way and wanted to eradicate the forces of Sanhuan. He was coerced by Ji Pingzi at that time, and his son Fang Zhong was pledged in Ji Pingzi's house as a person. So! He couldn't help Lu Zhaogong, so he could only persuade him to be more restrained and not to be in a hurry. Gather strength and wait for the right moment. Your own generation can't overthrow the power of Sanhuan, so accumulate strength and wait for the next generation to complete it!

Outcome! Lu Zhaogong did not listen and continued to go his own way. Afterward! When he and Confucius were not in the state of Lu, Lu Zhaogong publicly argued with Ji Pingzi. In the beginning, he won. But later, Fang Zhong swore to protect Ji Pingzi to the death, and Sanhuan's forces united again. The result is! Lu Zhaogong's military strength was strong, but in the end, he was defeated by the alliance of Sanhuan and was forced to flee.

After Lu Zhaogong fled, it became a "borderland" again. Lu Zhaogong's army was gone, and only a few residents who had returned were left. Because it was a former military base, the population here has never been large.

Fang Jishi instinctively hurried, ready to use his weapon to fight. But now he is just a soul body, and he has nothing but consciousness. Fight? On what basis to fight?

The line is getting closer and bigger, and it is getting longer and longer. Only then did he see clearly that this was a mourning team. The escort soldiers rode in front, followed by the procession escorting the coffin. Behind, there are the families of the deceased.

Who? Who's so big?

Army escorts? Is the funeral line so long? And also! There are also many family members of the deceased. It wasn't until the team got closer that he could see whose mourning team it was.

Oh, yes? Who has so much power and face?

In the country of Lu, no one has such a big land. The king's funeral was not here, they had their own ancestral grave. Other hereditary nobles were generally buried in their fiefdoms.

Only some big officials of the Zhou Dynasty have this privilege.

Right! Only the dumb princess of the Zhou Dynasty will be buried here.

Over here! It is the hometown of Helian, and Helian has always had this wish. If you can't come back when you're alive, then bury yourself next to your father and mother after you die!

She's the only offspring of her father, so! She must come back to accompany her father and mother, and accompany her ancestors.

Seeing Helian's coffin, Fang Jishi was both happy and sad.

In this troubled era, how many people can die in their hometown, be buried in their hometown, be buried next to their parents, and reunite as a family?

It's true! It is not known where how many people died. Their families don't know where their graves are? Even if it's a mass grave, I don't know.

In the mass graves, there are many people who don't even have names.

After a war, after an encounter, how many people died? They didn't understand until they died, who are they fighting for? For whom to die? Is this war worth it?

In fact! We just live for the sake of living, and being alive is the last word. But since we were born, we can't help ourselves, we get involved in the rules of the game set by others, and become a chess piece on someone else's chessboard, at the mercy of others.

If you want to understand life, you have to rely on yourself. Few people will tell you what life really is. And most people are bewitching you and making you the object of their use to achieve their goals.

Lao Tzu's Taoist teachings are obviously correct, but he has seriously affected the lives of those with ulterior motives, the lives of kings and hereditary nobles, and the lives of rulers. So! It was severely blocked.

Opposite! Those simple theories of life have been sought after. Because! They meet the needs of rulers and careerists. These superficial theories of the world are conducive to rulers and careerists to restrain the world, so that the world can become good citizens and fools, so that it is convenient for them to rule.

Helian, an ancient little girl, originally lived in a happy family. According to her, her father was a very learned person, and her mother was a good wife and mother. The family would have lived happily here, living in this place where their ancestors have lived for generations. Suddenly, one day, there was a struggle between the rulers and the powerful, and disaster befell them.

If he hadn't crossed over and protected her, this ancient little girl would have been crushed to death by the collapsed roof beams.

Thinking of the incident with Helian, Fang Jishi burst into tears. He was a soldier and a kind man. It is the duty and mission of a military man to protect the security of the country, the lives and property of others, and the lives and property of his family. But! In this troubled time, there is really nothing he can do.

A person's power is so fragile and insignificant.

Sometimes! He regretted that he did not "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes" at that time. Or! "Hold the king hostage to order the ministers."

He had every chance to do that, and many times. He can hold Lu Zhaogong hostage, he can also hold the two generations of kings of the Jin State hostage, and he can also hold the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But he didn't do that. He is a soldier, he does not want to be treasonous, he does not want to make trouble.

Furthermore! Lao Tzu told him: Everything is useless, it can only be changed for a while, but not for eternity.

History is long! Maybe you can succeed and achieve your goal and save the world. But you can't forever. Your lifespan is limited, and you may be able to stay the same for the rest of your life. Maybe! Remain the same among your children and grandchildren. The Zhou Dynasty, for example, maintained peace and stability for hundreds of years. But what about the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? The world is in chaos again.

That's how history is! Until mankind has found a correct outlook on life, the world, and the universe, the peace of mankind will only be temporary.

So! Lao Tzu tells us that if we want peace for mankind, we must go all out to spread correct thoughts.

If the thinking is wrong, mankind will never have peace and tranquility. If there is, it will only be temporary. Hundreds of years, maybe decades. And then! Again into the long battle......

Some people kidnapped everyone for their own selfish desires. Let generation after generation suffer and be unlucky.

If we don't have intelligence, we're like animals, then! Everything doesn't matter. But after all, we are human beings, human beings with intelligence. We have joys, sorrows, seven emotions and six desires, and what others have, we also have.

So! We need to compare our hearts to our hearts! Think about life from someone else's point of view, not just think about life from your own point of view. Only on the basis of the common ideas of all people can we find a way to save humanity.

Everybody is just trying to survive, everybody is just trying to live better. So! If we only care about ourselves and do not care about others, this society will inevitably be chaotic. Isn't it? If you don't make me feel better, will I make you comfortable?

It's really sad that not many people have understood such a simple truth for thousands of years. They only care about the present, and often they can't even take care of the present!

Is! People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

We don't need to dream too far away, but we also can't ignore the visible consequences.
