Chapter 189: The Son of Heaven?
When Xiao Sheng was traveling around the world, he saw disciples of the three religions more than once among many famous mountains. Sometimes if he met someone he knew, he would have to pay tribute to each other.
Seeing Guangchengzi and others sitting high in the mountains and making immortals heard and spread to all directions, Xiao Sheng understood that they were the same as when they were the emperor's teacher.
Unfortunately, with the greatness of the human race and the mixed fortunes of the people, the method of squatting on one side like them is outdated.
Moreover, with the prosperity of human nature now, even the saints cannot easily calculate the fortune of the great sages of the human race.
Otherwise, how could I not hesitate to separate the incarnation and enter the world and personally involve this prosperous era of humanity?
If it weren't for the backlash that had fallen behind, Xiao Sheng wouldn't have found the Qin Yue people so easily.
Now, even Xiao Sheng can only run around among the human race with a slight impression.
Maybe yesterday Xiao Sheng was still in Jin State, today he was in Chen State, tomorrow he was in Chu State
In addition to not wandering around Luoyi, Xiao Sheng almost circled all the human race. Then out of curiosity, Xiao Sheng finally came to Qufu, Lu.
He originally thought that he could meet a wise and peaceful wise man at home, but when he came to the outskirts of Qufu.
But I saw two tall and strong, extremely ferocious young men, chasing dozens of thieves with swords and running for several miles.
Xiao Sheng couldn't help but look dark. When he saw Xiao Sheng's dress of a scholar, the two of them stopped.
I saw the older one politely bowing to him and said, "There are often savages doing bandits in the wilderness. If you have nothing to do, it is better to enter the city as soon as possible!"
Seeing this, Xiao Sheng asked curiously: "Are you the garrison of Qufu? Why are you the only two of you here?"
The old man couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then he said, "I am Confucius, the warehouse clerk of Qufu, and this is my disciple Zilu. This time, I came out in a hurry because of a business accident, but I didn't expect that these bandits were targeted."
When Xiao Sheng heard this, he politely bowed to Zilu, and then pretended to be puzzled and said, "I see that you are also dressed as a Confucian scholar, why are you so fierce and doing this as a martial artist?"
Confucius smiled indifferently when he heard this, "If I don't have the sword in my hand, how can I let those bandits accept education obediently?"
When Zilu heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said with a complacent submission: "What the teacher said is so much!
If I hadn't been able to beat you, I wouldn't have calmed down and listened to you as a way of benevolence and righteousness!"
Seeing such a fierce Confucius and Zilu, Xiao Sheng suddenly felt a little amused.
If Confucius knew how his disciples would use literature to bully military officials in the future, he would probably be so angry that he would be so angry that he would drive those shameless disciples out of the door one by one.
...
Because Xiao Sheng used the excuse to come to Qufu Guanxiang to study, Confucius and Zilu simply led Xiao Sheng directly into Qufu City with him.
It was also during the casual conversation that Xiao Sheng realized that Confucius had been taught to Li Dan, and then because Tan Zi came to Lu to worship, he was taught by Tan Zi again.
Under the selfless teaching of these two predecessors, he then began to set up private schools and impart knowledge to those scholars who were unable to receive education.
However, although he was famous in Lu for his erudition and knowledge, he was still young, so until now, he only had one disciple, Zilu.
However, although Confucius had been taught by two wise men, Xiao Sheng felt that he was still more influenced by Tan Zi.
Or in other words, some of Confucius's claims are more similar to those of Tan Zi today.
Tan Zi was originally a monarch of a small country among the Huai and Si countries, but although Tan State had a small territory and few nationalities.
However, because the Tan State was established very early and had a very long history, many rules and regulations from the three generations were passed down in the Tan State.
As the monarch of Tan State, Tan Zi did not use powerful authority to force Tan State when he governed Tan State, but instead talked about morality and righteousness with the people.
Because of his great kindness and power, the people were convinced, which made Tan's culture develop and the people's customs honest. Therefore, some rules and regulations of the three dynasties reappeared in Tan's State.
Because Tan State is very close to Lu State, Confucius even went to Tan State in person to inspect the situation in the country and asked Tan Zi again for advice.
After visiting Tan Zi for the second time, Confucius became more and more convinced of some of the two gentlemen's ideas.
He believed that what Li Dan said about a small country and a small people was indeed reasonable.
The great rule of Tan State is undoubtedly a proverb: those who govern the world with benevolence and righteousness are far better than those who measure interests and fight with weapons.
When Confucius returned to Qufu and pondered for several years, he did not gain anything until he was thirty years old.
He called his own way "benevolence" and wrapped it with "ritual".
Be kind inside and be kind outside, this is Confucius' way!
After listening to Confucius' lectures in Qufu for three days, Xiao Sheng left with emotion.
At the beginning, when he heard Confucius's way, he almost thought that Confucius was the reincarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun.
After all, if we follow his principles, etiquette is the manifestation of heaven!
All living beings should restrain their own selfish desires and continue to act according to the requirements of "ritual". Only in this way can they reach the state of "benevolence" and in this way can they conform to the great way of heaven and earth.
His principles are simply to explain the teachings, and they are even more radical. If he really prevails the world, he may be unavoidable to have an imbalance in the future!
...
However, no matter how Xiao Sheng investigated, he never found Confucius's roots. In order to avoid touching human luck, he had to give up this idea.
Of course, he did not think about changing the thoughts in Confucius' mind. After all, all such great sages are extremely firm in the minds of Taoism.
Unless the great Tao comes in person, even if the saint comes in person, it may not be able to change the principles he insists on!
Xiao Sheng even suspected that Confucius was another son of heaven and earth that the way of heaven was reborn from its original origin.
If it weren't for this, how could he end up standing with Li Dan and Mo Di among the hundreds of schools of thought?
After leaving Lu State, Xiao Sheng sighed helplessly. He was still one step too late!
As a result, Li Dan is already teaching in the guard room, but his clone is still spinning in the cycle of reincarnation. I wonder when will he be born?
Xiao Sheng decided that before his clone was born, he must first establish good connections for the clone among the human race.
In the end, if the strength is insufficient, then the number will be collected. As long as he works diligently, he will always have the chance to divide the human fortune that broke out.
When the world was full of strange movements, the Queen Mother, who was in the heavenly court, finally discovered the strangeness.
After thinking about it for a while, the Queen Mother of the Yaochi gave up the idea of reincarnation. After all, the prosperous era of humanity has begun, and it is too late for her to make a move.
After thinking about it for a while, the Queen Mother couldn't help but think of Haotian who was almost forgotten by her in the cycle of reincarnation...
