Chapter Eighty-Nine: Entering the State of Chu

"Uncle Junior, you're back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Outside the Taoist courtyard, several Taoist disciples who were in charge of daily guarding looked at the two children who came back from outside and shouted respectfully.

These two children were the ones who had just intercepted Kong Qiu and his party on the road and had a debate, they never thought that they would be disciples of Taoism, and listening to the tone of these guarding disciples, it seemed that their status was not low.

"Well, you guys take good care, and we'll go in to find the master to get back to life. The little boy said to the guards and disciples in an old-fashioned manner, and pulled the little girl and walked in.

"Master, the Kongqiu you made us embarrassed doesn't seem to have any real material, it looks stupid, it's not fun at all, junior sister, you're right. ”

As soon as the little boy entered Li Er's residence, he lost his shape, and coquettishly played to Li Er, and at the same time brought his cute junior sister.

The little junior sister nodded shyly, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what her senior brother said.

"You, don't be arrogant, if it weren't for that Kongqiu in order to admonish his disciples, where would you have the opportunity to embarrass him, you know, this Kongchu is better than me. ”

Li Er seemed to be quite doting on the little boy, shook his head, and said with a chuckle.

"Teacher, you always say that our Taoists emphasize the Tao and the law of nature, everything is as you like, and you don't cause trouble, why do you want to provoke that Confucius. The little boy asked, puzzled.

"Xiao Yi, you are still young now, and you don't understand these things yet, this is the result of the general trend of humanity, even we Taoists can't get out. Li whispered to the little boy and said that Li Er always had a lot of patience for him.

Xiao Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, as if he still felt that there was something he couldn't figure out, he shook his little head suddenly, looked at his kind master, and said: "What the master said is really difficult to understand, I still do my homework with my junior sister, junior sister, let's do our homework, today's homework is not finished yet." ”

Xiao Yi said and pulled the little girl out of Li Er's house.

Looking at the backs of the two children, Li Er shook his head, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this Taoist family will be entrusted to the two of them in the future.

On the other hand, Kong Qiu and his entourage finally entered the capital of Chu, but when they were at the gate of the national capital, something wonderful happened, that is, the king of Chu heard that Kong Qiu, a scholar who had traveled around the world, had come to his country, so he ordered his men to come down to the city gate to welcome them into the palace.

Kong Qiu naturally would not refuse the hospitality of the King of Chu, so he took several of his disciples and followed the official straight into the palace.

The name of Confucius is naturally greatly spread in the process of this study tour, and even the day of enlightenment, the ascension to the immortal is deified by countless people, although a generation of monarchs is naturally impossible to be misunderstood by such rumors, but as long as it is a cultivator, they all know that Confucius is a self-opening one, is the existence of the ancestor of one.

Although it is not as good as the legendary Hongjun Dao Ancestor, he is also a remarkable figure, and it is not impossible to ascend to the quasi-saint in the future, so countless lords will compete to meet him.

Now this reputation is naturally out, at this time Kong Qiu has faintly had the name of the world's teacher, after all, along the way, he also accepted a lot of disciples, although for some other reason did not travel with him to the world, but after all, he can be regarded as a Confucian scholar.

Therefore, the reputation of Confucius's 3,000 disciples was also spread among the vassal states, of course, these 3,000 were only an imaginary number, but in fact, the number of disciples accepted exceeded the 3,000 early.

The king of Chu personally received Kong Qiu, and he was accompanied by the national teacher, prime minister, general and several sons of the Chu state.

However, although the people who participated in the banquet were extremely noble, everyone knew that only the King of Chu and Kong Qiu really spoke.

"Haha, Mr. Kongqiu, Mr. De's words today are really open, but I don't know where Mr. is now, if there is no place to return, I am willing to invite Mr. to join my Chu State as a great Sima. After the king of Chu talked with Kong Qiu, he became more and more fond of Kong Qiu's talent.

The Taoist Lao Tzu pays attention to quiet and inaction, and the world is amnesty, so what Confucius emphasizes is the theory of governing the country, and he will definitely show his style in this troubled era.

"Thank you King Chu for your kindness, but Qiu is just a cloth cloth, and he is still on the way to study, so he really doesn't dare to accept the king's good intentions, so I have to apologize. Kong Qiu chuckled and prevaricated.

The lips of the national teacher standing beside the king of Chu moved slightly, but he was transmitting the sound to the king of Chu.

"Your Majesty the King of Chu, the cultivation of this Kongqiu is unfathomable, not at all like a person who has just entered the Dao, his cultivation is so high that he can't take him even if he makes a move, so,"

Speaking of this, the King of Chu naturally understood the meaning of the national teacher, you must know that this national teacher of his own is a Xuan Immortal cultivator, but he said that he couldn't take Kongqiu, so it was naturally stronger.

It's just that this stronger is the most unfortunate news for the King of Chu.

Because even if it is strong and powerful, it is really a pity that Kong Qiu cannot work for himself.

"Since Mr. insists on this, then Gu naturally doesn't want to force it anymore, but I just hope that if Mr. wants to show his ambitions in the future, the position of my Chu State Grand Sima will definitely be left for Mr. The king of Chu made a promise to Kong Qiu.

"In this case, then Kong Qiu will thank His Majesty the King of Chu for his kindness here. ”

I don't know how many empty checks Kong Qiu has encountered along the way, so he naturally knows how to deal with it, so he simply doesn't shirk it anymore and takes it, but what happens in the future naturally depends on the future direction.

"These are all widowed children, since Mr. came to Chu to study, then let them take Mr. to appreciate the customs of my Chu State, and follow Mr. to learn and learn, otherwise they only know how to dance knives and guns all day long, which really makes the widow feel at ease. The king of Chu said to Kongqiu, and then introduced his sons.

"Then it will be a trouble for a few princes. Kong Qiu said to the princes beside the King of Chu.

"Sir is polite, it is our honor to serve him. Several princes replied, these are Zhou rites, as a subject of the Zhou Dynasty, they are naturally very familiar.

"Then let's take my leave. Kong Qiu asked the king of Chu to resign, so he walked straight out of the palace of the king of Chu with several of his disciples.

Kong Qiu and his party walked on the streets of Chu with their disciples, and Zigong asked in a low voice, "Master, where are we going after that?"

"Let's go meet that Taoist Mr. Lao Tzu, I couldn't visit today because of some trivial matters, and it's not too late to go. Several disciples bowed slightly, signaling that they understood.
