Except for the two warring sides and Mencius who was watching the battle, no one knew what kind of blow the fat monk who was invincible before that and shouted "Heaven and earth, I am the only one". ↖，

After the fisherman subdued the fat monk, he grabbed the monk's face in front of Mencius, and scolded him fiercely while scolding him.

"Dead bald head, don't you want to be the only one, I'll let you respect again, give me respect!"

"Bang Bang!"

That look, even Mencius, who was watching from the side, felt that his face hurt, but fortunately, this monk called Rulai was quite fat, even if his face was swollen, he couldn't see anything.

You must know that the golden body of Rulai has already reached the realm of immortality and immortality, and in terms of defense alone, it is definitely better than most magic weapons in the world.

But Rao is like this, under the big hands of the fisherman, he is still beaten to the bitter pain.

In fact, the monk also felt that he was very wronged, this "heaven and earth, I am the only one" is the slogan he naturally said when he was born, not to pretend to be X, and the "I" in it does not refer to him, but to the vast sentient beings, which is Buddha nature.

However, he wanted to explain that the fisherman did not give him this opportunity at all, and that he was beaten violently until his face was swollen, and then let him go.

Since then, even if Rulai has become the leader of Western Buddhism and the supreme Buddha in the hearts of all believers, he has never set foot in the land of Middle-earth.

It wasn't until many years later that he learned that the fisherman who beat him was actually a hermit of Taoism, Zhuangzi.

It was this encounter that made Rulai and Mencius realize the horror of Taoism.

Taoist masters usually act as mortals, hidden between mountains and rivers. Comprehending the avenue of heaven and earth, it is not visible, but its hidden energy is definitely better than any school in the world.

Before the battle with Rulai, how many people knew Zhuang Zhou?

Speaking of which, Mencius was previously known as a late bloomer, and it was not until he was forty-five years old that he began to show his strength. Because he has survived at least seven or more heavenly tribulations in one fell swoop, it is known to the whole world.

But if you compare it with Zhuangzi, you can't count it at all, and if people don't make a move, the world will be shocked.

Even, he was later called the closest person to a saint in the world, and no one objected, which was really terrifying.

Moreover, Zhuangzi is only one of the few people who have been put on the table by Taoists. And who knows how many such figures are hidden in the entire Taoist community?

This kind of silent Taoism is the most feared, in contrast, the Taoism that developed after Taoism, although it is more powerful, but it is inferior.

However, this is not good or bad, Taoism is directly through Lao Tzu's thought. Heaven and earth are natural, the universe is moving, etc., to realize the "Tao". Taoism is to enter the Tao step by step through "art".

Although the former is convenient, it has very strict requirements for people's qualifications, and it is almost impossible to succeed without a firm Dao heart and extraordinary talent, while the latter is not as lofty as the former. But it applies to the vast majority of people in the world.

This is also why, when it comes to Taoism now, the world thinks of Taoist priests in green clothes.

Taoists like to hide in the world, while Taoism is in direct contact with the world, and it is not without Taoism as pure as Zhuangzi today. But there are very few, and most of them are hidden.

Of course, no one dares to underestimate the energy of those Taoist hermits, otherwise now Taoism is not called Taoism, but renamed Taoism, and the same is true for Buddhism.

There was once a proposal in Confucianism to establish Confucianism, but because of Confucius's sentence "Zi is silent, strange and chaotic", it was completely vetoed, otherwise, the world would be three religions and known as the world.

"Alas, when I'm older, I just like to think more!" suddenly muttered Mencius, who had fallen into his memory.

"Yu'er!"

Mencius let out a soft shout, and soon the door of the hut opened, and an old man about sixty years old and looked older than him entered.

"Ancestor, what do you command?"

This old man's name is Meng Yu, who is the great-grandson of Mencius, loyal and simple, not arrogant and insulting, good at interacting with people, and governing the family in a good way, and once served as the patriarch of the Meng people, and then after stepping down from the position of patriarch, he devoted himself to serving Mencius.

"Yu'er, later, you will let Haoran go to the Central World and go to the experience!"

When talking about this "Haoran", the corners of Mencius's mouth were surprisingly with a hint of a smile.

Yes, this Haoran is none other than Meng Haoran, a descendant of Mencius.

Since Mencius, the Meng people have developed for an unknown number of generations, even if it is not easy for monks to give birth, but the population of the entire Meng people has exceeded 100 million.

However, there are so many descendants, many outstanding ones, and there are very few amazing people, but this Meng Haoran is one of the rare heroes.

Speaking of which, in the cultivation of disciples and descendants, it has always been one of the few unhappy places in Mencius's heart.

Take cultivating disciples as an example, there are many disciples of Mencius, among whom Gongsun Chou and others are also rare talents, but people are good at everything, but they are afraid of comparison.

In Confucianism, Xunzi, who advocated the inherent evil of human nature, and Mencius, who advocated the inherent goodness of human nature, were like black and white, and they were born to do the opposite.

In terms of personal prestige, Mencius is better than Xunzi, but in terms of his own disciples, Mencius can't catch up with Xunzi.

Not to mention anything else, among Xunzi's disciples, just one Han Fei, who is known as the second in Zhuangzi, overwhelmed almost all of Mencius's disciples, how can Mencius be embarrassed?

Fortunately, Xunzi himself is an alternative in Confucianism, and several promising disciples under Xunzi have entered the door wall of the Legalist family, otherwise, the position of Mencius, the second person in Confucianism, will not be ceded to the sworn enemy Xunzi.

Mencius and Xunzi like to work against each other, not only for personal knowledge, but also for disciples and juniors.

In terms of disciples, Mencius was completely defeated, but in terms of descendants, it seems that there is no light of day.

Originally, Mencius was about to extinguish the heart of competition, who knows, there is a talented descendant of the Meng family, only in terms of qualifications, it is only half a step worse than him back then.

Mencius, who was overjoyed, directly named that descendant Meng Haoran, and the expectations were self-evident.

And this Meng Haoran also lived up to Mencius's expectations, he has a talent for Wendao since he was a child, and when he was young, a song "Spring Dawn" made many elders in the clan feel ashamed.

"Old Ancestor, are you going to send him to Haoran Academy?"

As soon as he heard his ancestor mention Meng Haoran, Meng Yu knew that this was the ancestor deliberately wanted to cultivate him, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"No, if you talk about the way of Haoran, who else can compare to our Meng clan?"

"Then where are you going to send it? Spring and Autumn Academy, or is it inherited by a few other Confucian saints?"

Hearing this, Mencius pondered for a while and said, "I heard that that guy's inheritance has also begun to appear, so send Haoran to the academy under that person's inheritance!"

Meng Yu had served Mencius for a long time, so he naturally knew who the person he was talking about was, so he nodded yes and released the ancestor's orders in the clan. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)

ps: In other words, this is not my nonsense, Meng Haoran is really a descendant of Mencius and his thirty-second grandson
