Confucius poured a cup of tea for me. I picked it up with satisfaction and took a sip!
Although it is just a few words, it fully shows my arrogance. Under my calm appearance, I have an ambition to look down on the ancients.
The great road just mentioned represents Laozi's thoughts, and his thoughts proved his greatness. Confucius was convinced that this cup of tea was the best result.
Confucius poured himself a cup of tea, but was he convinced by his own thoughts
I looked satisfied, and all the students around me looked proud.
Confucius? Nothing more than that.
Confucius handed over a cup of tea, pondered for a while, and nodded. "Sir, it made me enlightened. I am a Confucian who values etiquette and benevolence! In the beginning of human nature, nothing is better than water! When people live together, water alone lives below; when people live together, it is easy. The water alone is dangerous; the water alone is clean; the water alone is filthy. Wherever people are, who can argue with it? This is why it is the best!"
After Confucius finished speaking, I, who was halfway through drinking tea, suddenly stopped.
"Huh?" I paused and looked at Confucius in surprise.
You know, Laozi just talked about his thoughts, which seemed to convince Confucius, but in an instant, Confucius' powerful understanding transformed Laozi's thoughts into Confucian thought.
This moment of understanding, this terrifying talent, made me have to take a closer look at Confucius in front of me.
You must know that the thought I just mentioned is not simple. Even if your best students want to understand it thoroughly, it will take a lot of time, let alone accept it after understanding it. However, Confucius only poured tea for a short while and completely understood it. After understanding it thoroughly, he not only accepted it, but also converted it into his Confucian thoughts.
This talent frightened me. At the very least, none of my students had such a powerful talent as Confucius.
Tea is not that delicious.
"Snapped!"
I put the tea cup down. I looked at Confucius carefully for a while.
Confucius also smiled slightly: "In the State of Lu, I heard the name of Lao Tzu. Taoist thought is famous all over the world. It took me thirty years to understand a Confucian thought. A few days ago, the great way was first established, but I don't know how effective it is. , I came to Luoyi specially to ask for advice, sir!"
"Confucian?" I looked at Confucius.
Confucius nodded: "I hope you will give me some advice!"
"How do you want me to teach you?" I said with a smile.
"If you criticize me with the most stern and demanding eyes, I will accept it humbly!" Confucius said solemnly.
Lao Tzu stretched out his right hand and signaled Confucius to start.
Confucius was sitting upright, and behind him, a white river suddenly rose into the sky.
"boom!"
The awe-inspiring righteousness enveloped the entire Mang Mountain, and the river surged straight into the sky.
The expressions of all my students suddenly changed.
"Boom!"
Then they saw the billowing vast river of righteousness spreading out in mid-air, and above everyone's heads, a vast sea of righteousness spread out.
The sea of righteousness is three thousand miles large, and the white Confucian and Taoist wheel inside slowly rotates, and the sounds of Confucianism and Taoism come out one after another.
"Isn't it great to learn and practice it over time? Isn't it great to have friends from far away?"
"I will examine myself three times a day!"
"The purpose of etiquette is harmony!"
“If you review the past and learn the new, you can become a teacher!”
"Learning without thinking is a waste, thinking without learning is peril!"
… … … … …
… … …
… …
Waves of sounds of the great avenue surged out, and the entire Mang Mountain was filled with this vast sound. It was unparalleled in size and filled with righteousness reaching the sky.
The great road of Confucianism shows its domineering power.
The sea of dao is vast, and the awe-inspiring righteousness seems to have the effect of cleansing the soul.
Lie Yukou and other Lao Tzu students all gasped. Is this educating us
Because everyone is a student of Laozi, they naturally have their own way. Because they are practicing the way, they understand the power of Confucius' way. It leads people to be good, to be righteous and neutral, and its power is unstoppable.
In the past, I didn't take it seriously when I heard about the three-thousand-mile ocean of avenues. After all, the power of the avenues is not just about the size of the ocean of avenues, but also about the power of the domain.
At this moment, when the realm of Confucianism and Taoism appeared, all Laozi students held their breath.
"Poems, books, rituals, music, spring and autumn?" I said calmly, looking at the slowly rotating Confucian and Taoist wheel in the sky.
"Please!" Confucius said confidently.
Once you understand your own path, you will naturally have strong confidence in your path. This is not only pride, but also determination.
Confucius stared at Lao Tzu, waiting for Lao Tzu's response.
I took a deep breath, then smiled lightly: "You are too eager to win!"
"So what? How can you not insist on your own path! Don't you have the desire to win?" Confucius stared at Lao Tzu and said.
"If you don't compete with the world, no one in the world can compete with you. Just like what I just said, my way is to imitate Shui De!" Laozi said with a smile.
But Confucius looked gloomy and had no fight with the world, so no one in the world could fight with him? Is this called not having the will to win? You think you are number one in the world, you think you have no rivals, and you look down on everyone in the world, so you just don’t compete with the world!
No one in the world can compete with you? You have such a strong tone! What is Shui De? Just say that you are invincible, right
After I finished speaking, I saw that Confucius seemed dissatisfied, but he smiled slightly and looked up at the sky.
Just when he looked up at the sky, the void in all directions was suddenly surrounded by purple energy. The billowing purple energy covered the sky and covered the earth, seeming to cover the entire Mang Mountain in all directions.
Originally, the area within three thousand miles was full of Haoran Zhengqi, but at this moment, the purple energy came out, covering the sky and the sun, and surrounded the entire area of Haoran Zhengqi. The sea of Confucius's three thousand miles of avenue was suddenly submerged by the purple energy. .
"Huh?" Confucius' expression changed.
Understand that this is Lao Tzu showing his great way.
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao; the name can be named, but it is very famous...!"
"Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs...!"
"The best thing is like water. Water benefits all things without fighting...!"
… … … …
… … …
… …
There were bursts of sounds.
Confucius and Laozi were still sitting on the big stone, and they seemed to slowly close their eyes.
At this moment, the two people were intertwined.
"boom!"
The awe-inspiring righteousness and the moral purple collide fiercely.
There was a loud noise, and the void shook. A group of Laozi students immediately sat cross-legged to resist the mental impact caused by the impact of the avenue.
"Boom!"
For a time, the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism continued to impact each other.
And Confucius also instantly felt that something was getting tricky.
Because Confucius felt that his own avenue was surrounded by the other party. The sea of three thousand miles of avenue was actually surrounded by purple energy. This is not a good thing.
Confucius wanted to break through the purple air with great righteousness and win at least one party's freedom. Otherwise, he would always be enveloped in the purple air but seem to be constantly being digested by it.
Haoran's righteousness continues to expand, and the Confucianism and Taoism roulette is also moving rapidly, but the scope of this purple energy seems to be boundless. No end can be found.
"What? So big?" Confucius' face darkened.
At this moment, within the scope of the purple energy, large waves of water were produced, surrounding the sea of white avenue, consuming Haoran's righteousness bit by bit, and squeezing and destroying the realm of Confucianism and Taoism.
In the past, Confucius always thought that his Confucianism and Taoism were so complete that he could compete with me even if he met Lao Tzu. But at this moment, he was shocked to find that his own Taoism was completely within the grasp of Lao Tzu. Just let it go
"Haha, hahaha, what a moral purple spirit!" Confucius' face turned ugly for a while.
"Boom!"
No matter how Confucius used the Dao method, he seemed to be unable to escape from the scope of the purple energy, and Confucius' face became increasingly ugly.
But I sat quietly with my eyes closed, motionless.
If this continues, your own avenue will be completely wiped out. Naturally, Confucius would not sit back and wait for death. His mind completely sank into the avenue.
"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
I saw that the Confucian and Taoist roulette in the sky suddenly let out a loud roar as Confucius' mind and soul were poured into it.
Under the huge roar, he saw that the Confucian and Taoist roulette turned into a white tiger.
The tiger was huge, roared loudly, the endless righteous energy boiled, and the endless purple energy also trembled.
The strong roar of the tiger brought out the purest sound of righteousness in the world. The sound of righteousness was so vast that it rushed straight into all directions.
"puff!"
My students were so shocked by the tiger's roar that they each spurted out a mouthful of blood. Showing horror.
All Laozi students closed their eyes and kept chanting Laozi's Great Way to resist the inner demons brought by Confucius' Great Way.
"Roar!"
The white tiger roared ferociously, then charged forward with endless righteousness, trying to break out of the purple energy cage.
"Crash!"
In the purple air, the water suddenly surged into the sky, entangled and impacting the white tiger.
The white tiger hit the water again and again, but couldn't get out.
"There is no moral field without flaws!" Confucius said with an ugly expression.
"Water is more like the Tao: Tao is everywhere, and water is detrimental to everything. Avoid heights and go downwards without going against the grain. It is a good place to be on the ground. An empty place is pure and quiet, unfathomable. It is a good place to be an abyss. Don't expose the damage, don't ask for anything. Retribution, good is benevolence; the ring must be rotated, the square must be broken, the blockage must be stopped, the decision must flow, good and trustworthy; wash away the filth of the crowd, level the high and low, and be good at managing things; use planting to make it float, use caution to make it clear, and use it to learn and make it clear. If you attack, you will be strong and invincible, and you will make good use of your abilities; you will not give up day and night, advance forward in Yingke, and wait for the time. Therefore, the sage acts at any time; the wise man changes in response to the situation; the wise man governs without doing anything; the wise man lives in accordance with nature. "I said calmly.
One word after another, the sound shook the heaven and the earth, just like the supreme principle of the heaven, earth and the universe. In the sky, the sea of Confucius's Great Way was smashed into pieces by the great water.
In the blink of an eye, the only thing left in Confucius's sea of avenues is the white tiger transformed into the roulette wheel of the avenue.
"Roar!"
Unwilling to be defeated, the white tiger let out its final roar and jumped into the water again.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
With a loud noise, the white tiger was submerged in the water and encountered an unprecedented squeeze.
"Ah!" Confucius roared in pain.
The water made a loud noise, and you could vaguely see the white tiger transformed from the Confucian and Taoist roulette, being squeezed and exploded.
"Bang!"
The water receded slowly.
The purple energy between heaven and earth also slowly receded, and the white energy dissipated completely.
The fragments of the white tiger returned to Confucius' body.
"Buzz!"
Confucius seemed to be backlashed, and a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out, but Confucius restrained himself, and only a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Open your eyes and look at me.
I also opened my eyes at the right time.
"Your great way is to get rid of arrogance in words and appearance, and eliminate ambition in appearance. Otherwise, the voice will be heard before the person arrives, and the wind will move before the body arrives. If you are flamboyant, like a tiger walking on the street, who dares to use your great way? ?" I looked at Confucius and said with a smile.
These short words seemed to criticize Confucius's Confucianism and Taoism to the fullest extent. Not only were they criticized completely, but Confucius's Confucianism and Taoism were crushed and exhausted by Laozi's moral realm. Confucius even had a mouthful of blood in his mouth. Instead of spraying, I have something to say but can’t say it anymore.
Confucius understood that this time, his Confucianism and Taoism had lost.
I lose because I am not mature enough.
I lost because I underestimated the power of Laozi’s Great Way.
"Thank you, I've learned from you! I'll say goodbye!"
Confucius once again took the tea from the small stove beside him, poured another cup for me, pushed it to me, and then bowed solemnly to bid farewell to me!
Confucius admitted his defeat this time and naturally had no desire to stay.
I nodded and signaled to the students, Lie Yukou, to send Confucius away!
