Chapter seventy-eight, talk about Confucius
"Confucius!" Li Ping'an said with a complicated expression: "Confucius was born, and the Qilin came from the sky, and he spitted jade books, which read "The descendants of the water spirit have declined and the Su King is in the wise." When Confucius grew up, he went to the ancestors of our Taoist schools to study. He succeeded in his studies and traveled all over the world and made a generation of sages."
Zhao Xinyue frowned and thought, "Is this the only one?"
Li Ping'an smiled and said, "He is a saint, so my Taoist temple also included his words and deeds. I will read a few words and listen to them!"
Zhao Xinyue immediately became interested. Although she did not believe that Confucius was really a sage, she would definitely have outstanding features if she could be so respected by this person.
Li Ping'an recited and said, "The Master said, "Isn't it a saying to learn and practice it from time to time? Is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Is it a gentleman if people don't know and don't be angry?"
Zengzi said: "I examine myself three times a day: Are you unfaithful when you plan for others? Are you unbeliever when you make friends but don't believe in them? Are you unfamiliar with them?"
...
Confucius said: "If three people walk, there must be my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones."
The son said on the river, "The dead are like this, and he will never leave day and night."
Li Ping'an read a few sentences, Zhao Xinyue closed her eyes and felt it carefully. Voices rang in her mind like a big bell. Her face slowly changed, her face was full of incredibleness, and her hand holding the book was shaking slightly. This... Is this really a sage?
Li Ping'an paused for a moment, smiled and said, "How?"
Zhao Xinyue opened her suddenly, suddenly stood up, and her long legs hit the chair and made a thud. She asked excitedly: "What else? There should be something below!"
Li Ping'an pointed to his head and said with a smile: "I'm not you scholars, so I don't remember it all."
Zhao Xinyue asked quickly: "Do you have a book?"
Li Ping'an said regretfully: "My Three Qing Temples have been passed down too long and many precious things have been lost."
Zhao Xinyue said a little sadly: "How could this happen? This is definitely a Confucian sage. Why is there no record of the academy?"
He quickly sat down, opened the book in his hand, stretched out his brush and appeared, and wrote the record on the book. After writing, he looked up at Li Ping'an and asked unwillingly: "Is it really gone?"
"I really can't remember it now. I will tell you when I think about it."
Zhao Xinyue put away the pen, closed the book and held it in her hand, stood up and bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for telling Confucius about it. The little girl is very grateful."
Li Ping'an stood up and said with a smile: "No need to do so. Confucius is a sage of a generation. It is my wish that his name can be heard in this world."
...
"Master, we're back~" A playful voice came in from outside, and Qingxue and Qingyu ran into the backyard hand in hand.
Zhao Xinyue stood up and looked out, and it happened that Qingxue and Qingyu ran into the hall.
"Ah~" The two of them paused, screamed in surprise, and subconsciously took a step back.
Qingyu pouted and looked at Zhao Xinyue and said, "Why are you here?"
Li Ping'an scolded and said, "Qingxue, Qingyu must not be rude. Please see Mr. Twelve."
Qingxue bowed with her fists and said with a crisp voice: "I have met Mr. Twelve."
Qingyu was unwilling to bow and pout and said, "I have met Mr. Twelve."
Zhao Xinyue smiled and said, "What a cute girl!"
Li Ping'an said proudly: "I feel so too."
After practicing, Qingxue and Qingyu have become more fair-skinned and rosy in her complexion, and she looks very spiritual.
Zhao Xinyue laughed and said, "You are not polite at all!"
"Good is good, bad is bad, why should you be polite? Isn't it unfair to them to say that they are bad?"
"It's reasonable!" Zhao Xinyue nodded slightly.
Qingxue and Qingyu lowered her head and showed shyness, and smirked with her lips.
Li Ping'an said with a smile on his face: "Go out and have some things to talk to Mr. Twelve as a teacher."
Qingyu stuck out her tongue and said naughtyly: "Yes! Master!"
Qingxue saluted Li Ping'an with respect and walked out with the naughty Qingyu.
Li Ping'an laughed loudly. He was still very satisfied with their courage to take action this time. Since ancient times, Taoist sect has said that immortality is precious and life is infinitely conservative. Unlike Buddhism, Buddhist disciples often say that compassion is to worship Buddha and recite scriptures, while Taoist disciples often go down mountains and rivers in troubled times and keep stable. No matter how strong it is, daring to take action is a reflection of the Taoist heart.
Zhao Xinyue asked, "Can Mr. Li tell me other things about Confucius?"
"Yes! Confucius once traveled around the countries with his disciples, and there were many stories that happened in the meantime. I'll choose a few to tell you!"
It is not difficult to understand that traveling around the countries. After the academic disciples have achieved success, they will choose to travel and consolidate their knowledge. Zhao Xinyue looked at Li Ping'an expectantly.
Li Ping'an thought for a while and said, "The first story is called Confucius' apprenticeship. One day Confucius took his disciples to Jin State."
Wait a minute~" Zhao Xinyue looked at Li Ping'an and asked in confusion: "Which country is Jin State? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Li Ping'an coughed and said, "A country that has been a long time ago is not recorded in the book."
"If Jin State had ever produced a great sage and could be a sage teacher, it would definitely not be unknown." Zhao Xinyue asked.
"Do you still listen?"
"Let me listen!" Zhao Xinyue sat up obediently.
Li Ping'an continued: "When they were walking on the main road, they met a child playing with rubble on the road..."
Zhao Xinyue smiled and said, "This is what you said just now, I must be my teacher in the three people walking together?"
Li Ping'an nodded and said with a smile: "Yes!"
“Is there any more?”
"I'll tell you another two children's debate!"
Li Ping'an said, Zhao Xinyue heard that the two of them would occasionally discuss the conversation, and the atmosphere was harmonious. During the conversation between them, time passed slowly and it was almost dusk.
Li Ping'an glanced at the dark sky outside, felt a little dry and said tactfully: "Mr. Twelve, it's too late, why don't we get together again?"
Zhao Xinyue glanced outside and said regretfully: "Time flies so fast!"
Li Ping'an smiled and said, "If Mr. Twelve doesn't mind, you can use supper for us before leaving."
Zhao Xinyue looked at Li Ping'an, smiled and said, "Okay!"
Li Ping'an was stunned for a moment, girl, you don't care! Generally, this situation should not be rejected?
Zhao Xinyue looked at Li Ping'an with a smile, with a little teasing in her eyes.
Li Ping'an quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Twelve, I'll go and ask Baiyun to prepare supper." He walked out of the hall quickly and turned around and disappeared.
