Chapter Eleven: Praise Si?
When Confucius was seventeen years old, Yan died of illness!
Confucius was so sad that he did not eat for three days. It was not until after the Yan family and Shulianghe were buried together that Confucius fell ill.
During this period, the students were extremely worried.
Fortunately, Confucius was also very enlightened. Yan left for Shulianghe, which was also considered as his wish.
At this point, Confucius was mourning for Yan's family in Qufu Quili, and he studied knowledge with peace of mind and taught students.
Yan Hui, the nephew of the mother tribe, became Confucius' most valued student. Yan Hui was talented and willing to work hard. Soon, in the shocked eyes of a group of classmates, his own aura of great way was condensed, and white light soared into the sky and shone brightly on the side.
In this way, Confucius had been mourning for two years and was about to set off for Song State to worship his ancestors.
Because the day for ancestor worship in the ancestral temple of Song Dynasty is coming.
Confucius' father Shu Lianghe fled from Song State to Lu State, and Shu Lianghe's ancestor was a Song King.
Although Wang Xiong's clone identity was even more noble in the past, Confucius was ultimately Shulianghe's bloodline. He went to Song to worship his ancestors, which was also fulfilling his father's last wish and respecting the Zhou rituals for Confucius.
A trip to the State of Song is indispensable!
Confucius was nineteen years old and stood in front of the tomb of Shulianghe and Yan.
The disciple stood respectfully in the distance, and no one stepped forward.
Confucius took the wine and poured it gently before the tombstone.
"Father, mother, Confucius came in a hurry in this life, and did not have the idea of practicing immortality. He passed by in a hurry, but he witnessed his father. His mother's affection was deep. He left his parents with wine here. Confucius was about to set off for Song State to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony in Song State! He fulfilled his father's wish!" Confucius respectfully bowed to the tombstone.
A group of students followed suit with a gift.
After saluting, Confucius slowly got onto the carriage beside him.
A group of students who were willing to follow the Song State rushed to lead their horses and run around.
Although Confucius did not practice, there were a large number of powerful immortals among the students. This time, a group of immortal disciples naturally showed their performance. The horses were great monsters with strong cultivation, and the chariots were carefully refined.
Although the road to Song State is far away, the group is extremely fast.
At the same time, on the day Confucius left Lu and went to Song to worship his ancestors.
The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Luoyi!
Shao Zhengmao studied with me for more than ten years, and his body was filled with purple air, as if a bright light rushed towards the bull's fight.
At this moment, in the library hall.
Shao Zhengmao respectfully bowed to me.
"Teacher, the student is here to say goodbye. Come back soon to serve the teacher!" Shao Zhengmao said respectfully.
I was holding the bamboo slips and was still reading the book. When I heard Shao Zhengmao say goodbye, I slowly put down the bamboo slips.
"Go to Lu?" I asked calmly.
"Yes, twelve years ago, students were favored by teachers and allowed to follow teachers to study. Students kept studying hard. They once said to the teacher that Confucius must understand that the teacher's way is better than what he realized. The student's way is better than what he realized. Students also said to Confucius that he would compete with each other in the future!" Shao Zhengmao said solemnly.
I looked at Shao Zhengmao and said lightly: "Your utilitarianism is too strong. You have not learned my 'inaction' thoughts, but you have learned all... Forget it, if you want to go, just go, remember, what the Tao is fighting for is upright, and you can't be evil and confused!"
"Yes, the students are determined to defeat Confucius with the best of their own, and live up to the teacher's expectations!" A sense of firmness flashed in Shao Zhengmao's eyes.
"Go!" I said calmly.
It seems that he doesn't care about Shao Zhengmao's visit to Confucius Dou Dao, nor does he care about it.
But my expression made Shao Zhengmao secretly swear that he must do it beautifully when he goes to Lu. The teacher is impressed.
Shao Zhengmao withdrew from the Book Hall, said goodbye to the senior brothers, and hurried to Lu State again.
-----------------
Lu State, Ji Sunsi's Mansion.
"Shao Zhengmao, you are finally back!" Ji Sunsi immediately greeted him when he saw Shao Zhengmao.
"Can Confucius still be in Qufuqueli? I want to find him to fight the great way!" Shao Zhengmao said with confidence.
"Ah? Dou Dao?" Ji Sunsi said in shock.
"What's wrong?"
"You don't know that Confucius is becoming more and more famous in the past twelve years of your departure. There are endless students studying with him. The Meng Mansion has sent many descendants to him. And my Ji Mansion, alas, although Confucius did not reject him, his students are extremely repulsive of my Ji Mansion. My Ji Mansion wants to send his descendants to him, too...!" Ji Sunsi was very depressed.
Ji Sunsi's intestines are now regretful.
Although Confucius was not as successful as Li Er, he was at the age of twelve, but Confucius was still improving every day. His great way was growing all the time. Many people who know how to look at him have been watching over the years, and have always admired and shocked.
What's more, the students gradually reached the threshold of the Great Dao, and early students were able to display the power of the Great Dao, which made Confucius' reputation at the peak of his might in Lu. Even people from other countries came to see him.
The big families in Lu naturally sent their descendants to study.
Ji Sunsi was embarrassed by leading troops. Although Confucius said nothing, the group of Confucius' students remembered that all the families had descendants to study. How could a group of Confucius' students let them come?
So much so that Ji Sunsi was complained by many elders and brothers at the Ji family.
Finally, I waited for Shao Zhengmao, and Ji Sunsi was about to fall to Shao Zhengmao.
"Hmph, just Confucius. I'm here this time to break his myth. Take me there!" Shao Zhengmao said solemnly.
"Uh, it's really a coincidence that you came. Confucius just went to Song State to worship his ancestors!" Ji Sunsi said with a wry smile.
"What?" Shao Zhengmao's face changed.
It was like a punch, hitting the air, and swearing to take revenge, but Confucius left?
"However, in a while, he will come back when he worships his ancestors!" Ji Sunsi explained.
"Hmph! What a pity!" Shao Zhengmao said coldly.
"But now, it's not that easy for you to cause trouble for Confucius, because he has many students now. At that time, maybe even if Confucius takes action, just..." Ji Suns said worriedly.
"Hmph, Confucius' students? What's the point? Confucius is not my opponent, let alone his students? But, do you say he has many students? Is this amazing? His avenue is what? My avenue is the authentic world!" Shao Zhengmao said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, yes, your great way is naturally the best in the world when I learned it. However, in Lu, many knowledgeable people learned from Confucius. They only recognize Confucius' great way!" Ji Sunsi said with a wry smile.
Shao Zhengmao's face turned gloomy and he was silent for a while: "Hmph, then okay, start with the students!"
"Student?" Ji Suns said curiously.
"Confucius can recruit students, I can recruit students, and I can teach students, so that students can understand that my avenue is the best avenue. Not only do I need to recruit disciples, but I also have to snatch all the students in Confucius to let everyone understand that Confucius' avenue is just a false way, and my avenue is the ultimate way of heaven and earth!" Shao Zhengmao said in a deep voice.
"Ah, are you going to recruit students? That's great, my head's children and grandchildren can follow you to learn!" Ji Suns said in surprise.
"When Confucius returns, I want to let all the students of Lu be my students, hahahahaha!" Shao Zhengmao laughed hideously.
----------------
The State of Song was one of the "Three Kes" of the Zhou Dynasty. The State of San Ke was the title of king and prince given by the Zhou emperor specifically to reward the descendants of the previous three dynasties. San Ke was to show respect. San Ke was the descendant of Yu Shun, Xia Yu, Shang Tang, and the descendant of Yu, Xia, and Shang dynasties. The corresponding vassal states were Chen, Qi, and Song dynasties.
The State of Song is a descendant of the Shang Dynasty royal family. The surname is the Song family. The capital of the dynasty was Shangqiu.
Confucius' disciples, surrounded by carriages, headed straight for Shangqiu, Song.
Along the way, I encountered some checkpoints to check, but Confucius showed some identity certificates from Lu, so it was naturally unobstructed. What's more, a group of disciples followed him, leaving behind legends about Confucius throughout the Song Dynasty.
After all, Confucius's Daming has been reported from Lu State. Some big families in Song State have their own news. It is rare for a great sage to return to Song. Who dares to stop him?
With the warm invitation, Confucius also preached in some cities along the way at the right time.
Although few people know Confucius' whereabouts, every time Confucius preached, there were endless people who came to listen to the sermon.
Before leaving, the elders of all families also wrote a letter of sponsorship to prove their identity for Confucius.
The group arrived at Shangqiu without any obstacles.
Outside Shangqiu, Confucius temporarily rested, and several disciples went to Shangqiu to arrange matters.
Confucius also saw a picture from a student.
"Is this?" Confucius looked at the woman in the scroll curiously.
Confucius knew the woman's appearance, to be precise, Wang Xiong knew, this is not Zhou Tianyin's mother, is Sheng Si?
The portrait of Sheng Si? He was not with Zhou Gonggong and Ji Zhurong? Could it be that she also traveled through time? Or is this her past life?
"The Song Dynasty has been famine in the past two years, and there are countless people fleeing famine. Previously, when the student restrained a corpse, he saw a beggar who was dying and wanted to treat him. Unfortunately, it was too late. He said a few words to him. He handed the painting to the student and died. The student buried him!" Uncle Nangong Jing smiled bitterly.
"Oh? This painting is very important?" Confucius looked at Uncle Nangong Jing.
"Teacher, guess who is the peerless beauty in this painting?" Uncle Nangong Jing said with surprise.
"Who?" Confucius said curiously.
"Mystery Queen, Bao Si!" Uncle Nangong Jing said solemnly.
"The Queen of Demons? Bao Si?" Confucius showed a curious look.
"Yes, teacher, you remember when you read historical books, you once said that the rituals and music of the Great Zhou Dynasty are now broken, and everything starts with King You of Zhou. King You of Zhou, who made a smile on the beauty and played the princes in the world! At this point, the prestige of the Great Zhou has greatly lost the world, and King You of Zhou has also become the sinner of the Great Zhou, and that beauty is this Bao Si, the peerless beauty of the Bao Kingdom!" said Nangong Jingshu.
"King You of Zhou, the beacon fire in the world and play with the princes? Bao Si?" Confucius frowned and was surprised.
Confucius naturally knew about this history, but he didn't expect that Bao Si was Sheng Si. He also used the life wheel to travel through time? As a result, was the time on the life wheel to be confused? He traveled to him for two hundred years?
If Bao Si is Sheng Si, who is King You of Zhou? Zhou Gonggong and Ji Zhurong traveled through time?
Two hundred years ago?
"With the death of King You of Zhou, the Great Zhou Dynasty was getting worse and worse. Now it was better to rely on Li Er to suppress the country. Bao Si's former country was also destroyed. Originally, it became history, no one cared about it. But the student did not expect that the beggar who had just buried was a descendant of the royal family of the Bao Kingdom, living in the Song Dynasty incognito. Over the years, he had a force, as if he was chasing them all the time. He was just chased and escaped from Shangqiu. Unfortunately..., only the portrait of Bao Si he hated, and there was a resentment, just..." Uncle Nangong Jing sighed.
Uncle Nangong Jing didn't think anything, but Confucius's expression subsided.
The pursuit of Bao Si continues? Have they been fleeing for two hundred years...?
