Chapter 767: Conformity is not the same as apostasy

Mobile reading

"You imagine other people to be so complicated! You? Zilu reproached. I see that you are all influenced by the shopkeeper, the influence of Taoism! Mr! You've changed, you're not the same gentleman you used to be! You? ”

"I think too? Mr. has changed since last time, and it doesn't seem to be the same as before! Min Ziqian sighed on the side.

Yan Hui saw that Zilu and Min Ziqian both said this, and also nodded: "Mr. has changed!" ”

"You think I've changed, too? Return? Confucius was not angry at all, looked at Yan Hui and asked.

Yan Hui nodded towards Confucius again and said, "Yes! ”

"So?" Confucius asked, "Is it for the better?" Or has it gone bad? ”

Yan Hui looked at Confucius, smiled, and then said with a serious face: "It should be good, right?" ”

"Okay?" Zilu replied on the side: "I think I've become stupid!" ”

"Sir has become deep!" Yan Hui explained: "Sir's view of the problem has become profound. ”

"Profound?" When Zilu heard this, he was not convinced.

Confucius looked at Yan Hui, nodded and said, "Yes!" I also felt like I had suddenly become more profound. Before! When looking at problems, I like to look at the surface and appearance. Right now! I like to get to the bottom of things, I like to study and think about what is behind the surface and appearance, why is this happening? Ask again, all the way to the root of the problem!

Oh, yes! Before! I was wrong, I only saw the appearance of things, and did not go deeper. Or Lao Tzu thinks comprehensively. He sees not only the appearance of things, but also the behind them, the essence. I'll obey him! In front of Lao Tzu, I sighed to myself! I'm wrong! I was wrong! ……”

"Sir, this is?" Min Ziqian interrupted: "Sir, is this going to give up his own doctrine and ideas to learn the Tao?" ”

Confucius didn't speak, looked at Min Ziqian, and shook his head.

"Then how do you sigh to yourself? You? Min Ziqian asked.

Yan Hui looked at Confucius, then at Min Ziqian, and said, "Sir is thinking about his own doctrine and how it will be improved!" ”

"Improvements?" Min Ziqian responded.

"Improve, huh? Improvement! Zilu said rudely: "I see! Just give up! Listen to Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu is the first genius in the world, if you can refute the doctrine and theory he proposed, then you are not the first in the world? Isn't it? Since you sigh to yourself, simply! Down! Let's change the brand, from tomorrow, learn the Tao! No! From now on! Learn the Tao! ”

"Learn! Learn! Learn! Min Ziqian shouted at Zilu. Learn from your size? You're not messy? ”

"What's the mess? I think! Mr. has changed, completely changed, he wants to go to Nanzi to sleep. Ahhh Nanzi is so beautiful! How young! Lots of water ......"

Zilu still wanted to continue, but when he saw Min Ziqian looking like he was going to fight, Yan Hui also glared at him, and Confucius also looked at him, and suddenly stopped, not daring to say any more.

Otherwise! With that mouth, he could say anything.

"Wait!" Confucius said, "If Nanzi doesn't summon me again, I can only go and see me!" Alas! It's not that I didn't take into account what you said, it's terrifying, but I'm also embarrassed! Isn't it? If I don't go to her, what will I become? Isn't it?

One of them! Who have I become? I don't know about gratitude, do I? Anyway! I am in Weiguo, because of the blessing of Princess Nanzi, and it is she who speaks well in front of Gong Wei.

Second! Everyone else went to see her, so why can't I go to see her? Isn't it? If I don't go, it means that it's my fault, it's not! Am I going to go? That's exactly what you said! Who have I become? I'm Kongqiu! Confucius! Confucius of the Lu Kingdom, I am different from others! I am a person full of benevolence and morality, how can I meet a woman like Nanzi?

It's been delaying for so long, I'm dying of urgency, I can't put it off any longer. The longer it drags on, the more it is not mine! ……”

"I think you just want to go!" Zilu muttered.

Confucius ignored Zilu's words and said, "I didn't go at first, I still have an excuse." I said I'm busy, I have a school at home, I see guests every day, there are many accidents, I really can't get away, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! But after a long time, if you don't go? People will say you did it on purpose......"

"You just mean it!" Zilu muttered to the side again.

Confucius glanced at Zilu blankly, and when he saw that Zilu didn't look at him, he had to be patient. For the sub-road! He's used to it. Without him, I felt that something was missing. With him, sometimes I feel annoying! It's true!

At this time, Duke Wei sent someone over and asked Confucius to go to the Wei Palace.

"What? What's up? Confucius asked as he walked.

Wei Gong's guard asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

"Me? I don't know? Confucius asked, pretending to look innocent. In fact! He'd already guessed it, probably what's going on?

"What you just said!" Wei Gong's guard said not taboo at all.

"Me? What did we just say? Confucius stood in astonishment.

"You are talking so loudly, I can hear you from afar! That's what Jesus is here for! Mrs. Wei was very unhappy! Say thou before the Lord! ”

"She! What did she say about me? ”

"She said that you are not a sage person, and you listened to the rumors outside, and took her for whom? If she were that kind of person, would the Lord tolerate it? Where is the face of Christ? Isn't it? When the Lord heard this, he was angry! ……”

"Alas!" Confucius sighed anxiously: "Am I not? Am I not busy? I? ”

"You're busy! You stay at home and gossip with students, and you say you're busy? Busy saying bad things about others, right? Busy? ”

"This? This, this, this? "Confucius was so anxious that he didn't know what to do!

"I'm not going to talk nonsense! I'm just a guard, a bastard! You won't offend people for no reason! You and I have no grievances, so why should I speak ill of you? Multiple friends, multiple roads! Isn't it! What should be said and what should not be said, I should not know. I'm a subordinate! It's a guard! ”

When Confucius heard the guard say this, he had to take out a patriotic sword coin from his pocket and stuff it into the guard's pocket. hurriedly said: "I, Kong Qiu, am also an ordinary person!" Ordinary people! In vain! In vain! ”

Originally! With Confucius's previous personality and life beliefs, he would not have done this. But now! He changed, he became worldly, or rather secular.

In the present life, you can't do it, otherwise you won't be able to integrate into this life, and you won't be able to integrate into other people's life circles.

Personality! That's pretending to be in front of acquaintances!

If you are still individual in an unfamiliar environment, you will not be able to integrate into life, and this is what it means to follow the local customs. Doing the same is not the same as being in the same stream, but on the contrary, it is respecting the way of life of others. Leaving this circle of life, this township, and going to another township, you can give up the customs of the original township and integrate into the new customs.

So! Individuality is a pretense in front of acquaintances, not the whole of life.

In the past, Confucius would not have been like this. I feel that if a person does this, it means that you have changed, become vulgar and impersonal. But after the brainwashing of the shopkeeper and the tribulations of real life, he had to change himself.

Do it all! It is not the same as apostasy! What remains unchanged is the essence and fundamentals, not the superficial artificiality.
