Chapter 2: Xuanmen
Lu State
The State of Lu was once rich, but that was a long time ago. When the Zhou emperor granted the titles of princes, the State of Lu was one of the very few principalities. At that time, the State of Chu was just a viscount, and the State of Qi was just a wild land.
But now, Lu State was beaten and harassed by the young brother of Qi and the big brother of Qi every few days, and its international status was getting worse and worse. The knowledgeable people in Lu State were trying hard to find ways to solve all this.
The strong man in front of him, who is 1.95 meters tall, is no exception.
This strong man's face is full of flesh, his whole body is filled with tendons, a tall figure, and an extremely wide forehead. When he stands there, even if he does nothing, he can scare the child to cry.
He is the famous Confucius in later generations!
However, Confucius is only in his early thirties, and he is not as many as the future Confucius. He does not have as many disciples as 3,000, and now he is only a few dozen. Among them, the only ones are Yan Lu (the father of Yan Hui), Zeng Dian (the father of Zeng Shen), Ran Geng and others.
As for the truly outstanding disciples, it was still early. Zigong was just born this year, Zixia was only seven or eight years old this year, and she was still playing with mud. As for Zilu, who had amazing force, she is now a ten-year-old boy.
Confucius has not completely lost his political goals and always wants to revitalize Lu one day, but whenever he thinks about the deteriorating situation of Lu, he can't help but sigh quietly when he is alone.
Looking up at the sky, Confucius once again sighed at the current situation of Lu. Just as he was thinking about continuing to study hard, a sentence suddenly came to his ears: "..."
When his eyes were opened and closed, the world changed in front of him, and at the same time, a large amount of information poured into Confucius' big head:
This is Xuanmen!
Xuanmen is an organization established by the Taishang Taoist ancestor after he became enlightened. Here, regardless of origin, strength, gender, and race, they are all called fellow Taoists.
Xuanmen is the stage of knowledge exchange, knowledge communication, and common progress.
These knowledge, including but not limited to imperialism, military tactics, agricultural knowledge, astronomy and geography, extraordinary knowledge...
"Check my attributes!" Confucius said. Then, an attribute panel appeared in front of him. His eyes shrank and glared, and Confucius returned to calm again. During this process, Confucius even breathed so smoothly.
Name: Zi's surname, Kong's family, name Qiu, and courtesy name Zhongni!
Age: thirty-one
Identity: descendant of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty, son of Shu Lianghe, a famous warrior in Lu State, a native of Lu State, and a reserve officer of Xuanmen.
Xuanmen Reserve Welfare: 100 cents (one tael of silver equals one thousand cents), a lottery opportunity (only 10,000 taels and less).
Evaluation: You who are knowledgeable and love to study must be very suitable for Xuanmen!
Evaluation: Who would have thought that this authentic Shandong man who could run on his arm would be a knowledgeable man who loves learning?
Evaluation: Reading is to explain the truth to others, and learning swordsmanship is to allow others to calm down and listen to your reasoning!
After a while, Confucius came to the center of the room step by step, where there was a large light ball about one foot in diameter. The light ball released a golden light, which was very bright but not dazzling.
"What knowledge can I obtain in the Book of Heaven?"
After brushing, a golden light shone on Confucius, and countless names of books poured into my heart.
"The Analects of Confucius": This book is compiled and compiled by the disciples of the sage Confucius and his disciples, and contains the words of Confucius in various aspects such as life, study, and governance.
Purchase price: one thousand taels of silver.
"Sage Confucius? I believe this person must be very great. Qiu may not reach the height of a saint in this life, but he will also work hard to be himself and become a gentleman!"
"The Art of War": This book is a military book compiled by Sun Tzu, a military saint, in his later years. It embodies his life's hard work, a total of thirteen chapters. This book is mainly based on concepts, not only applicable to battlefields, but also to shopping malls, life and other aspects, with a great impact.
Purchase price: three thousand taels of silver.
"Sunzi? Art of War?"
Just these two words made Confucius understand the value of this military book. The so-called "seeing the smallest" is this truth.
"Tao Te Ching": In some places and in certain times, this sutra has the title of King of All Sutras!
Purchase price: 10,000 taels of silver.
...
"I want to draw!" Confucius said firmly.
After brushing it, a large disc with a diameter of three meters appeared. About 30% of them were white areas with empty words written on it, about 30% were weapons, armor, war horses, about 30% were books, and 10% were extraordinary knowledge.
When the red label began to rotate, especially when the red label turned over books such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Tao Te Ching" again and again, Confucius suddenly found that his heart was a little confused.
Cough cough
He coughed and closed his eyes directly: "I am still far from the standard of Mount Tai collapsed before his color and still have to work hard."
"stop!"
When Confucius opened his eyes, a book floated in front of him, with two big words written on the cover - "The Analects of Confucius".
When Confucius opened the book carefully, he realized the advanced nature of the book. Compared with the heavy and complicated bamboo slips, such black and white books are simply perfect!
Confucius said: "Isn't it a saying to learn and practice it from time to time? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Isn't it a gentleman if people don't know it?"
It makes sense!
It makes sense!
That's really good!
He is worthy of being a saint!
Holding the Analects of Confucius, Confucius became happier and happier the more he read it. The more he read it, the more he felt that he gained a lot. Although he only saw the book Analects of Confucius, Confucius felt that the sage Confucius must be his confidant. His principles were really in line with his own taste!
...
Confucius said: "Don't worry about not knowing people, but worry about not knowing people."
"Well, what about the one behind?"
"Why can't you turn it around anymore? It's still so thick!"
"Isn't there a total of twenty articles? Why can Qiu only read the first one?"
Big Light Ball: Buzzing (You must thoroughly understand the first article before you can read the second article.)
"How should you judge that Tianshu? Does Qiu fully understand it?"
Big Light Ball: Buzzing (Writing a reading comprehension to talk about your views on Xueer’s article, without limiting the number of words, but the more words the better, the more blunt the narrative, the better.)
"So, how should Qiu get so much money?" Confucius, who knew that his arm could not twist his thigh, quickly adjusted his emotions and then raised new questions.
Big Light Ball: "Time Fragments! (Time Fragments record some things that have happened. Entering them can complete tasks. Complete tasks can obtain silver, books and other related rewards.)"
I understand!
A ray of light flashed, and Confucius felt that the world around him had changed again. He observed the world around him while browsing the task instructions.
"This is an extremely small fragment of personal time, one thousand meters long, one thousand meters wide, one thousand meters high, and one hundred meters deep on the earth."
"The fragments of light are called defeated soldiers!"
"Your identity is a militia!"
"Your mission is to kill this defeated soldier!"
"Depending on the situation after killing the defeated soldiers, you can get a reward of ten to one hundred cents."
"Special reminder: Death here does not affect the physical condition of the outside world, but you cannot enter the fragments of time again within one day."
"Special tip: In addition to the defeated soldiers, you can also try to explore the fragments of this time, and you may gain something!"
"In a quarter of an hour, you will officially enter this time fragment!"
After reading the tips given by the Big Light Ball, Confucius once again carefully observed everything around him. There were a lot of tree bark, numb heads, rags, and fishing nets around him. I don’t know what it is for.
About ten feet in front was an adult man wearing yellow turbans standing, with two big red characters above his head - the defeated soldiers!
Confucius carefully observed the defeated soldier, and a large amount of information was quickly obtained.
He is seven feet tall (1.6 meters today) - such a short person doesn't look like he came from an elite army.
He is not very big and skinny - this means he hasn't eaten enough for a long time!
Wearing yellow turbans and cloth clothes - no armor!
His expression was very fierce - he could only look fierce!
Chapter completed!
