Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Old Master Kong Deming (I)

Qufu is the birthplace of Confucius, inside the south gate of Qufu of the Confucian Temple. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info was built in 478 BC, the year after the death of Confucius (478 BC), Lu Ai Gong converted his former residence into a temple. Since then, successive emperors have continued to crown Confucius and expand temples. The temple of Confucius in the Holy Miracle Palace, the Thirteen Tablet Pavilion and the Dacheng Hall are two in the east and west, there are a large number of stele stone carvings on display, especially the Han stele preserved here, it is the largest number in the country, there is no lack of treasures in the stele inscriptions of the past dynasties, the number of inscriptions is only second to the forest of steles in Xi'an, so it has the name of the second stele forest in our country. In order to praise the far-reaching impact of Confucius's thought on our society, later generations used the words "Virtue and Heaven and Earth" and "Daoguan Ancient and Modern", which means that his contribution is as great as a victory, and his ideas are the best in ancient and modern times. Emperor Liu Chan of Shengwu even named his descendants as Yan Shenggong, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

Today's Yan Shenggong's name is Kong Dezhao, who is over seventy years old, and since he succeeded to the throne, the Kong family has been thriving in his hands. But it was not him who studied Confucius the most, but his eldest brother Kong Deming. It's just that Kong Deming is devoted to academics, and has no intention of inheriting the title, and is only responsible for guarding the Confucian Temple while researching academics.

Kong Deming is in a good mood today, he has been studying the Analects these days, and until last night, he has a new understanding. Kong Deming, who is in a good mood, is eager to share his results with others immediately. But the second brother went to Luoyang to preside over the ceremony of worshiping the sky, the third brother also went to help, the fourth brother died early, the fifth brother accompanied the younger brother and sister back to their parents' home, and the younger generations also have their own affairs, and he is the only one in the huge Confucian Mansion now. Fortunately, there are people in the house to take care of the housework, but he is not needed. Kong Deming, who was depressed, simply sat on the steps at the entrance of the Confucian Temple and watched the scenery.

Because the Confucian Temple used to be the place where Confucius taught, it has always been a holy place for scholars, and students come here every day to worship. Kong Deming is happy to see this, as long as they don't destroy the things inside, it is still very beneficial for them to let them feel the Bohan of the ancestors of the Kong family. The students who came and went were also sensible, and everyone who passed by him would salute. The seventy-year-old man was enjoying this feeling, and suddenly his hairs stood on end, and the cold sweat on his body fell. It's a very special feeling because he doesn't see anything terrible, it's purely a person's physical reaction when they encounter something dangerous. And this feeling was getting stronger and stronger, and he looked up to see two men and two women walking towards him, and this feeling of danger came from the handsome young man. It was obvious that this young man had come out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Before he had time to think about it, he burst out: "You, stop!"

Guan Yang was chatting with Qian Tonghai here, but he didn't expect that the two of them were very close to each other, and many topics could be talked about together, and the two were chatting happily, when they suddenly burst into a shout, "You, stop!" scared the two of them into a tremble. Following the prestige, he found that it was a thin old man, staring at him with burning eyes.

Guan Yang hurriedly saluted: "Dare to ask Mr. is calling a student?"

"That's right. ”

"I wonder what Mr. called the student?"

"I ask you, have you ever killed someone?" he asked lightly, because that kind of terrifying murderous aura cannot be produced by killing one or two people.

At this time, because of his explosive drinking, there were already some people around him, most of whom were students who came to worship. Hearing his question, there was an uproar, and then they all laughed. How does this answer?

"How did the old man know?" Guan Yang was also surprised, this old man felt very keen, he had completely retracted the murderous aura around him, but he didn't expect it to make him feel it.

"Do you dare not admit it?"

"I admit it. As soon as he said this, the surrounding students were even more in an uproar, could it be that this guy was a murderer? So the eyes that looked at Guan Yang became strange one by one, and their impression of Qin Qing, Chu Rongrong and Qian Tonghai was not good.

"Admit it again...... Admit it?" Kong Deming was about to say what if he admitted it, but he was stunned: "You admit it?"

Guan Yang shrugged and said, "That's right." ”

"Then what are you doing here?" was almost choked to death by Guan Yang, and he nervously changed the subject.

Guan Yang arched his hand towards the Confucian Temple and said, "Naturally, I came to worship Confucius Sheng." ”

"This ......"

"If the gentleman is okay, the student will go in. ”

"Wait a minute. Kong Deming stopped him tightly: "Why did you kill someone?"

Guan Yang was a little impatient, who is this old man: "This doesn't matter, right?"

"How can this not be important?"

"Students are people in the rivers and lakes, so it's normal to fight and kill. Guan Yang casually made up a reason.

Jiang ......: "Why are you here as a Jianghu person?"

"You can go in if you want, but you have to give your name. ”

"Student Guan Yang. ”

"Guan Yang, remember, you go in, don't destroy the things inside after you go in. In the end, Kong Deming also instructed.

"Yes. ”

Guan Yang and the others went in, but Kong Deming was still frowning: "Guan Yang, I seem to have heard this name somewhere, it's a little familiar." ”

He frowned and pondered here, but the scholar who reacted quickly over there had already remembered: "Isn't it Mr. Guan Yangguan who made "Autumn Twilight in the Mountain House", "Will Enter the Wine" and "Water Tune Song Head"?"

"It's about the same age, it's possible. ”

"But how can Mr. Guan Yang be a murderer?"

"Brother Tai didn't know that Mr. Guan avenged his father, and once picked Yan Cottage and wiped out the Yan family. ”

"I see, but we misunderstood. In other words, "Water Tune Song Head" is my favorite song. ”

"Me too, but Mr. Guan Yang seems to have made a new poem when he traveled to Mount Tai. ”

The person who said this was quickly surrounded by the crowd: "I don't know what new poem it is, please read it again." ”

"Yes, brother. ”

This person simply said: "The name of the poem is "Wangyue". How about Dai Zongfu, Qi Lu Qingwei is gone.

Creation Zhong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut dusk.

Swing the chest to give birth to stratus clouds, and decide to return to the bird.

It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance. ”

"Good!" everyone immediately shouted.

"It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance. Sure enough, it is Mr. Guan. A scholar thumped his palms and said.

Another scholar also said: "After listening to this poem, I have to go to Mount Tai again." ”

"I'm going with you. ”

"Very good. ”

"Add me one. ”

"I'll go too. ”

“......”

Kong Deming listened to the discussions of the students around him, and then looked at Guan Yang and the others who had already entered the Confucian Temple, and entered the Confucian Temple.

In fact, the worship is very simple, just kneel there and pray, then take a stick of incense and insert it into the incense burner. It's just a simplified set of procedures, after all, there are still a lot of people waiting for it. If you really follow the regular procedure, you won't come for a long time.

After Qian Tonghai and Qin Qing and Chu Rongrong finished worshipping, Guan Yang and the others were ready to leave, but they didn't expect that the old man who was stopping him outside would also come in and stand outside the door.

Guan Yang walked over and gave a salute: "Is Mr. waiting for the student?"

Kong Deming looked Guan Yang up and down a few times, Guan Yang's appearance was still very good, except for the evil aura that made him uncomfortable, everything else was very good: "You are the Guan Yang who was called the peerless literary Guan by Shi Qingyun's three bastards?"

"It's Mr. Shi, and they have won the prize. Guan Yang knew that he was talking about Shi Qingyun, Du Yue and Mi Shengzhi. As for the word 'bastard', Guan Yang automatically ignored it.

"Sure enough, it's you. Aren't you going to take a look inside?" Kong Deming asked strangely when he saw that Guan Yang and the others had a tendency to go out. You must know that others would like to see all the inside and outside of the Confucian Temple, Guan Yang is good, saying that the worship is really just a worship, and there is no intention of staying.
