Last time, I talked about Kong Qiu's eastward journey to study, and there were more than 20 disciples under him along with him, and now their group finally came to the state of Chu where Taoism is located after crossing the countries. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Teacher, you said that there is a great sage in this Chu country, named Lao Tzu, who is known as a natural saint, I don't know if the rumors can be familiar?" Zi Lu, a disciple of Kong Qiu's sect, asked his own master.

"Lao Tzu, surnamed Li Ming'er, the word Dan, the word or Boyang. A native of Qurenli, Li Township, Ku County, Chu State, is known as a natural saint before he was born, and is the founder of Taoism, and his profound knowledge is greatly appreciated even by the contemporary monarch of Chu State, and even radiated to the surrounding countries, and he is a real scholar, but you are a little offended by such remarks. Kong Qiu criticized Zilu.

"Yes, the disciple knows that he is wrong, but the teacher's knowledge is already considered to be the world, so why should he ask that Lao Tzu, after all, the teacher's thoughts should be different from that of Mr. Lao Tzu. Zilu asked the questions of the accompanying disciples in a word.

"There is no order to learn, the master is the teacher, do you all leave what I taught you behind, since this Mr. Lao Tzu is so prestigious, then naturally there is real talent and real learning, don't be the frog at the bottom of the well, only know to sit in the well and watch the sky, you must know that there is no end to life and there is no end to learning the sea, why are we not the people who are boating in the sea of learning. Kong Qiu seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Zilu's remarks, and his tone was much more severe.

"But teacher, you are poor in the scriptures, and you have realized the Tao in the daytime, and now you are comparable to those immortals in the upper realm, and the disciples have also heard the Dao, not to mention the Mozi, even the chivalrous leader of the peasant family is ashamed of himself, and the teacher is inevitably too humble, and he has really lost the literati style. ”

Zilu muttered quietly, but how could he not hear this for Confucius, who has now realized the Great Dao, even the rest of the fellow disciples heard Zilu's whispering.

After all, they can all be regarded as Confucian monks now.

"Smack. Confucius didn't know when an extra ring ruler appeared in his hand, and he knocked it on Zilu's body hard, so that Zilu couldn't dodge, but even if he could dodge, he wouldn't dodge.

Because, it is his own teacher who whips himself with this obsessive ruler.

"Nonsense, do you know that there are people outside the world, and there are heavenly reasons outside the sky. I went to transcribe the "Thousand Character Text" a hundred times, and at the same time carefully thought about the sentence I just said, how vast the human race is, how vast this Shenzhou is, you can't wait to just cross the door of cultivation, and you are so complacent, do you really think that there is no one in the world? Kong Qiu scolded Zilu angrily, he never thought that the method he had passed on to them to practice would make them have such a mind that was above the top.

"The disciple obeyed. Zilu had no choice but to give a salute and walked to the back of the convoy.

And Duanmu Ci, who saw all this in his eyes, that is, Zigong, was silent, secretly thinking about what his teacher had just said.

The convoy continued to move slowly, but along the way there were two children in sackcloth arguing about something.

Hearing this, Kong Qiu stepped out of the carriage, saluted the two children and asked, "Why are you arguing here?"

One of the children hurriedly answered: "The teacher laid out the topic in the morning, and my sister and I are debating here because of differences of opinion. ”

"Oh, I don't know if you can tell me about it, as the so-called threesome, there must be my teacher, if there are many people, there must be an answer. Kong Qiu seemed to be quite concerned about the child's teacher, and asked.

The child looked at Kongqiu and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think the sun is close to people when it first rises, and far away at noon. ”

Another child thinks that the sun is farther away from people when it first rises and closer at noon.

The two children have been arguing about this matter.

After hearing this, Kong Qiu thought for a while, then looked at the scorching sun in the sky, looked at the two children, and said, "Then I don't know how you understand?"

The little boy said, "When the sun first rises it is as big as the lid of a car, but at noon it is as small as a plate.

Kong Qiu nodded, then looked at the little girl again, hoping for her explanation.

"Isn't it true that when the sun comes out when it is cool, and at noon it is as hot as putting your hand in hot water?" replied the little girl.

Kong Qiu heard the answers of the two children and felt that they all made sense, but he felt that there was something strange in them, but he didn't know what to say.

He is a quasi-saint power, how can these things be studied on weekdays, but when he really encountered such a problem, he suddenly felt that it was tricky, and the two children waited for a long time without getting a conclusion, and then they didn't pay attention to Kongqiu, and left on their own.

The group of disciples standing behind Kong Qiu were completely stunned, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief, knowing that in their eyes, their own teacher should know the existence of astronomy and geography, how could they be stumped on such a problem?

But they thought about the question of the two children just now, and realized that if it was really as the two children said, was the sun far away from them?

Looking at the disciples who were in thought, Kong Qiu also nodded with satisfaction, sat in the frame, and asked Zigong to drive the frame to visit Lao Tzu.

He always felt that this Lao Tzu had an inextricable relationship with the Taiqing Lao Tzu in the past.

And the appearance of these two children seems to have something to do with that Lao Tzu, but this is good, it can be regarded as letting these disciples restrain their contempt.

You must know that the reason why he got out of the car just now to ask the questions of those two children was because their own cultivation was only stronger than the disciples under his own sect, and the only one who could compare to them was Zigong, who he valued the most.

At this moment, all the Confucian disciples were a little dizzy, only Zigong was still awake, driving the frame and heading towards the king of Chu, there should be more fascinating knowledge here.

This is him, a pure and simple person, among the disciples of Confucius, his mind should be regarded as the most pure, and what he has in his heart is only the pursuit and exploration of the sea of learning.

Even when Confucius handed over the method of Confucianism to him, he could maintain a calm and breezy look, which was really not easy, if nothing else, this person should be his heir, but he still needs to polish more.

Confucius looked at Zigong who was driving the car, thoughtful.
