3. Confucianism

Zigong saw that Yufeng was indeed embarrassed, so he stopped inviting him, and it was not the style of Confucian disciples to make it difficult for a strong man.

At this time, the two of them greeted everyone, one old and one young with some similar appearance and clothing. It turned out that they were Zeng Dian and Zeng Shen father and son, and the two of them threw themselves under the Confucian sect together, they were both father and son, and they were also brothers.

"It turned out to be Zengzi, polite. "When I met the cultural people of Lu Country, Yufeng naturally entered the rhythm of Journey to the West.

After some talking, everyone knew that although Zeng Dian and Zeng Shen of the world were of the same race, they were not the two fathers. Zeng Dian came from a good background and studied poetry and books, but for some reason he was still alone when he was over half a hundred years old, and he was seriously ill and fainted in the mountains, and his life and death were uncertain.

Zeng Shen's family background is not very good, his father died when he was ten years old, Zeng Shen has been supporting his mother for six years until the end of his life, in order to make a living, he had to go up the mountain to pick wood, and by chance he rescued Zeng Dian in the mountain.

Zeng Shen not only saved Zeng Dian, but also served him like his own father, using herbs to treat him and recuperate, until Zeng Dian recovered and returned home without any complaints. As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a hundred days, and it is difficult to serve the patient persistently, but Zeng Shen can treat the elders of the same clan who he has never known so far, which has to be awe-inspiring.

Yufeng gave Zeng Shen a deep look to express his admiration.

Later, the reputation of respecting the elders spread in ten miles and eight towns, Kong Qiu heard about it and visited it in person, and after some exchanges, the three were like-minded, and the two decided to devote themselves to Confucianism.

If you follow the path of martial arts novels, it seems that the three of them should be brothers, but Kong Qiu was born in a famous family and has a very high reputation, much higher than Zeng Dian and Zeng Shen.

"Where is Fu Yang's distinguished guest?" A powerful voice came from outside the door, and then a nine-foot man walked into the hall, and he was happy when he saw everyone, it turned out that this was the famous disciple Zilu who sat down in Kongqiu.

Most of the Confucian disciples are literati scholars, but Zilu is an exception, he is an out-and-out martial artist, and Duanmu Ying can have a fight at this point, I heard that there are strong martial arts people to visit Lu State, absolutely can not be lost, returned to Qufu from the field overnight, just to have a fight with Yufeng and others.

And different from other martial arts idiots in the world, Zilu is both good at martial arts and poetry, respects Confucius, takes good care of his brothers and sisters, and does not dare to do rude things, and he is also a Confucian general in front of the two armies, he is the "head of security" of Confucianism, and he is also Mr. Confucius's guard.

Biwen can't do it, it's still okay to compete, Duanmu Ying can't hold it anymore, and happily responds to the battle, the two have fought for more than 50 years without winning or losing, if they continue to fight, Duanmu Ying, who has the advantage of physical strength, has a greater hope of winning.

Zilu rarely encountered such a strong opponent, and as soon as the competition ended, he asked to see the magic with his own eyes.

Sima Xin once again showed off his supernatural fireworks, and Xiaoxue instantly froze a pool of clear water into ice cubes and Meng Lin was responsible for melting it, a scene that made the Confucian disciples stunned.

"Zilu is heartbroken. ”

Next, everyone met with the Confucian disciples Zisi, Zizhang, and Gongye Chang one by one, and the impression was not profound, only one person everyone remembered clearly, and the reason for remembering him was his special name - Tangtai Mingming, and the girls thought this name was very cool.

In the evening, the group returned to Sikong's mansion and ran into the master Kongqiu who had just gotten off the car.

A man of about forty years old walked slowly, dressed plainly and solemnly, bowed to everyone, the name of Confucius is not just anyone can afford it, he showed an extraordinary bearing in his gestures, coupled with the disciples around him, respectful expression, adding a sense of sacredness.

After some conversation, the sense of sacredness basically disappeared in the hearts of everyone, not because his name did not match the truth, but because of his approachability, which was originally thought to be a worldly master who carried the name of a saint and whose language was deep and elusive, it turned out that he was more like a loyal elder, giving people a sense of intimacy.

At the following dinner, Kong Qiu was naturally most concerned about Fu Yang's alliance policy, and Yu Feng, with the help of Xiaoxue, explained Fu Yang's idea of alliance in a rather unfluent language.

At this moment, the idea of equality from the modern world and the idea of kingship from the world of nations collided, but this collision was friendly and positive.

Mr. Kong Qiu was very interested in Lie Yufeng's idea, and although he could not fully agree with it, he thought that it was a good idea for all countries to be equal and eliminate dumping and bullying, and said that their idea was to return to the rule of Yao Shun.

"The road is also a trip to the world, the world is for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, and the belief and harmony. Therefore, people do not only kiss their relatives, do not only have sons and sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have growth, the widowed, the lonely, the lonely, and the disabled are all supported, and the men have a share, and the women have a home. If you are evil and abandon it to the ground, you don't have to hide it from yourself, and if you are evil about it, you don't have to do it for yourself. It is because of the conspiracy to close but not to prosper, to steal and thieves not to do, so to do not close the outside household, it is said to be the same. Confucius expressed his expectations for an ideal society.

Although I can't fully understand the meaning of every word in this passage, everyone here knows that the Datong world is for everyone to live a happy and desired life, and on this point everyone has the same purpose, and there is the most fundamental and basic consensus.

In the history of the modern world, countless human sages have put forward ideas similar to the "Great Harmony of the World", just as Confucius said that the world is the Great Harmony, the "ideal country" of Western Plato, or the "** society" written by the modern thinker Max, who is most familiar to Chinese students, all represent people's good wishes for the ideal country.

However, most people still do not believe that these idealized worlds can be realized, and the term ideal society seems to many to be basically equivalent to the impossible.

This kind of ideal may not be something that can be realized by one or two generations, or even ten or hundreds of generations, but human beings have never stopped working hard to move forward and have never given up the pursuit of ideals from the heart, and this is the great charm of ideals.
