"What is the purpose of learning martial arts?" Fang Jishi asked.

"Fight the bad guys!"

"Hmmm! Very good! What else? Fang Jishi asked again.

"Protect my mother! My mother doesn't know martial arts. ”

"Hmmm! Very good! What else? Fang Jishi asked again.

"Protect your family! Protect my friends, relatives! Protect the country! Protection! Protect ......" Zhang Shanfeng touched his head and couldn't remember.

"And! Protect yourself! Fang Jishi prompted.

"Oh? Protect yourself? I? I? Zhang Shanfeng thought to himself: Do I want to protect myself? I'm so good!

"First of all! You have to learn to protect yourself! Only when you protect yourself can you protect others! You know what? Whether it is to protect oneself or others, it is not only martial arts, but also intelligence! Brain! Be smart! Be thoughtful! Got it? ”

"Thoughts? Brain? Zhang Shanfeng touched his head again, not very understanding.

"Think about it? You don't have the words of resourcefulness? Martial arts alone will not do! They've lied to you, haven't they? And also! If you don't have resourcefulness, you have a stupid brain, and you don't distinguish between good and evil, so you're easy to be taken advantage of, aren't you? It's like abandoning the disease, being used by King Chu Ling and bringing soldiers and horses to destroy the Chen State, isn't it? So! It's useless for you to just know martial arts, you have to learn knowledge and understand things first. And then! Distinguish between right and wrong. Got it? ”

"Oh? Oh! Under the master's reminder and guidance, Zhang Shanfeng roughly understood.

"So! You first have to learn liberal arts knowledge with Mr. Lao Tzu, and then! It's to learn great martial arts from me! ……”

"Do you want to learn from Mr. Lao Tzu again? Woo! Zhang Shanfeng asked reluctantly.

"What? Hehehe! Zhang Shanfeng! I want to be your liberal arts teacher, but you still don't want to? You? ”

Then! Lao Tzu and the others walked over.

Lao Tzu smiled at Zhang Shanfeng and said, "I just taught you the breathing method in the afternoon?" You? I'm your teacher too! You? ”

"It's not! No! Zhang Shanfeng was so anxious that he waved his hand again and again, and defended: "Mr. Lao Tzu! I didn't mean that! That's not what it means! I'm not ......."

"And what do you mean?" Fang Jishi asked.

"Me?"

"You? I think you look down on me! Look down on me as a literati, don't you? Lao Tzu laughed.

"Me? I? I want to learn martial arts first! Learn great martial arts! I want to be as powerful as Master. It's not that I don't want to study literature! I? ……”

"That's it! All right! Fang Jishi helped Zhang Shanfeng and said: "Literature must also be learned, and martial arts must also be learned!" Don't delay! Learn literature during the day and practice martial arts at night! Good no good?

What Master means! During the day, you learn literature and breathing from Mr. Lao Tzu. At night! I will teach you to practice martial arts, and practice the most powerful martial arts. What about free time during the day! You can also practice martial arts, huh? Isn't it? Master has promised to accept you as a disciple, can he not teach you? Isn't it?

What Master means! You must not only have great martial arts, but also have a smart mind. Such! You have the most powerful martial arts so that you won't be deceived. ”

Zhang Shanfeng's mother couldn't help but laugh when she saw her son's stupid appearance.

Seeing this, the others also laughed.

"Excellent! A great god is a great god! His first class didn't teach Zhang Shanfeng any powerful martial arts! But! Teach virtue! Good! Good! ”

One of the guards couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lao Tzu! I'll serve you! You win! ”

"We bet that we said that the great god must teach Zhang Shanfeng to do martial arts, but Mr. Lao Tzu said! No! Martial arts are generally not taught in the first class. We say! What do you teach without teaching martial arts? Mr. Lao Tzu smiled and said nothing! Hey! ”

"Not convinced, isn't it? Lost, right? Isn't it? Who is Mr. Lao Tzu? He is the number one talent today! You? And bet! You're out of tomorrow's food money! Hey! ”

"Tomorrow you buy groceries!"

"Tomorrow you buy groceries!"

The other guards all cheered.

"Good, good! Willing to lose! I buy! I buy! "The guard who made the bet had no choice, and he was willing to lose the bet, so he had to agree.

"Now that Mr. Lao Tzu is here! So! This lesson is taught by Lao Tzu! Fang Jishi said under the soup.

Seriously! It is really difficult for him to teach Zhang Shanfeng what "virtue" is.

At the unanimous request of everyone, this first lesson for Zhang Shanfeng became Lao Tzu's "morality" lesson! That's really it! Whether it is preaching or preaching, only Lao Tzu is the most suitable to speak, and only he can speak properly.

At everyone's request, Lao Tzu was no longer polite and talked about it.

Under the moonlight, everyone sat in their seats, surrounding Lao Tzu in the core. Lao Tzu's white clothes and white hair sparkled in the moonlight. And the eyes of the people shone like stars in the sky.

"Get on your knees!" Fang Jishi shouted at Zhang Shanfeng. "Kneel down for Lao Tzu!"

Zhang Shanfeng was very obedient and knelt in front of Lao Tzu.

"What is Virtue? Virtue is the norm, the norm, the standard of conduct! Heaven and earth have great virtues without saying anything! So? What is the virtue of heaven and earth? The virtue of heaven and earth is to give birth to all things in heaven and earth! In particular, everything on the earth is formed by the action of heaven and earth. What is the virtue of heaven and earth? This is the virtue of heaven and earth......"

After talking about the virtue of heaven and earth, Lao Tzu began to talk about human virtue again.

What is Humanity?

Virtue is the standard of behavior, code of conduct, and norms of behavior in society! People are virtuous, not lawless!

What is human morality? It's that people are mutual, not that you are the uncle! It's not that you're the only one in the world! You must abide by social morality and not act rashly. Don't interfere with the lives and survival of others! This is human morality!

You are free as long as you want without affecting the survival of others.

What is Wisdom?

Wisdom! It is in this troubled world, how not to be affected by other people's lifestyles, how not to be used by others, this is wisdom.

Why does Lao Tzu talk about wisdom?

Because! Today, he is teaching his disciples for Fang Jishi.

To learn martial arts, you must first learn morality, and then! Be wise! How to use your martial arts!

"In today's world, the princes are competing for hegemony, the Son of Heaven is weak, the etiquette is broken, and the people are not happy! Why? In one word! Desire! Ignorant desires are too much, and the world is in chaos. In the early Zhou Dynasty, society was quite harmonious. The people consciously pay taxes, and the taxes are not heavy. The slaves were active in their quest to become free......

But with the abundance of materials and the development of science and technology, some people's desires began to swell. Kings, in particular, want to do whatever they want, and they begin to do whatever they want, regardless of the life and death of their children and the lives of others, and will do whatever it takes for their own selfishness. Outcome! Society is in turmoil......

How should the people of the world behave in this world? I think! Emancipate your mind, know people, and recognize yourself! That's the only way! Only then can we live sensibly......"

Lao Tzu's meaning: Only when we understand the origin of human beings, the source of heaven and earth, the position of man between heaven and earth, and the position of man in society, can we live rationally......
