Chapter 10 The Bereavement of Confucius
Confucius Avenue, suppressing the demon tiger! News spread like wildfire.
For a time, strong people from all sects, including all large and small sects, came to study.
Confucius did not have too harsh demands on those who came to study. He offered the ceremony of apprenticeship and was allowed to listen to Confucius's studies. The ceremony of apprenticeship that Confucius wanted was even simpler, books!
They brought the books they collected and came to Confucius to apprenticeship.
For a time, Confucius' name became famous in Lu.
Zilu, Duanmuci, Nangong Jingshu and other students were even more busy and very attentive. Confucius also attached great importance to these disciples. In addition to preaching the great learning, he also gave some guidance on their practice.
This guide made all students see Confucius' erudition.
No matter what kind of exercises or mysterious magic, it is so easy to be in front of Confucius. In just a few words, you can point out a smooth road and make your disciples more and more impressed.
At this point, all the powerful immortals discovered that what they practiced was indeed just some small paths, and what the teacher taught was the great way of heaven and earth.
If the Tao does not listen, study the Tao? A group of immortals suddenly felt ashamed.
The students learned Confucius' "ritual" and became more sincere in dealing with people. They abandoned their former high-ranking pride and got along very well with the people around Qufu Queli.
So much so that now, Qufu Que is not closed at night and does not pick up any leave. It looks like a great rule.
During this period, as Confucius became more and more famous, the Three Huans sent people to invite him, and the King of Lu sent people to invite him. Even outside the State of Lu, it was said that Confucius was wise and wise, and he sent people to invite him.
But Confucius didn't go anywhere, just in Qufu Quili, studying and studying.
During this period, in addition to Confucius, Zilu, Duanmuci, Nangong Jingshu and others, they gradually touched the edge of the Great Dao and learned from Confucius. They were covered with righteousness, and white light columns soared into the sky, as if they were the atmosphere of their own Great Dao.
Behind Confucius, a big river was surging, and above the sky, forming a big lake, a big lake with white righteousness condensed, and above the big lake, there is no longer only the word "Li".
The characters "Li" were first mentioned, and the characters "Poetry", "Book", "Le" and "Yi" were mentioned. At the same time, some vague chapters seemed to form a rough outline, surrounding the characters "Li", and seemed to form a disc.
Confucius understood that this was the Great Dao Roulette he had realized, but now it is just a prototype.
After one day's lecture, Confucius chatted with the students and wandered in a forest area near Qufu Queli.
"Teacher, the student has been following the teacher for ten years. Now the teacher has sorted out countless books more thoroughly. Every book he gives us can be said to be a gem. I thank the teacher for his advice!" Nangong Jingshu respectfully bowed to Confucius.
"Thank you, teacher!" The students bowed to Confucius with gratitude.
Confucius is no longer a child at this moment. After ten years, Confucius is now seventeen years old. Although his appearance is still not obvious, he has an extraordinary temperament.
This temperament made Confucius look like stars holding the moon, and he was attracted by it.
Although the seventeen-year-old Confucius did not practice, he still had normal physical training and looked quite strong.
Confucius grabbed a longbow and shot in the distance.
"call out!"
The arrow feather instantly shot through a long deer.
"Teacher, you are good at archery!" a student immediately shouted.
Confucius looked at the student. The student immediately blushed and lowered his head embarrassedly.
Obviously, this flattery is too fake. There are all groups of immortals here. Do you need to drink a sika deer?
"You don't have to be embarrassed. I think that the master is now physically capable of deer deer with one arrow. It's indeed a good archery technique. However, next time, you don't need to use magic to help him tie the deer's feet!" Confucius said with a smile.
"Ah, the teacher knows..." The disciples of the immortals were immediately embarrassed.
"It is not embarrassing to be a teacher but failing to shoot. Why do you often go out to hunt while reading and teaching? It is to tell you that there are no practitioners among you! I know that you are learning from me and using your ordinary body to realize the majesty of the great way. But you must also remember that a gentleman has six crafts, etiquette, music, shooting, detention, and book! Among them, "shooting" is to train your body. You should not ignore the growth of your body because of studying and studying! A strong body can make your academic research more profound!" Confucius taught.
"Yes!" Among the students, students who did not practice nodded.
"A gentleman's six arts are the foundation of the world. I will practice it as a teacher. I hope you can remember it!" Confucius said solemnly.
"Thank you for your teachings!" the students responded.
"Okay, my mother is in poor health. It just so happens that I can use this venison to condition some foods to nourish my body! Give it to my mother!" Confucius said.
"Teacher, I'll go and pick it up!" A student immediately went up to carry his prey.
Just when Confucius was about to take his students to see other places.
"Teacher, it's not good, teacher, grandmother, grandmother, grandmother is almost out of reach, teacher!" Zilu ran over anxiously from a distance.
Grandmother of Master? Confucius' mother, Yan?
When Confucius heard Zilu's words, his face changed: "What's going on? Go quickly and talk while walking!"
Yan's health has always been in poor health. Over the years, Confucius wanted to ask her to practice, but she didn't want to. The students found various magic medicines, but Yan refused to take a bite. She was willing to eat some ordinary things.
No matter how Confucius persuaded him, it was useless. Now, Confucius still hopes that the sika deer he hunted can give his mother some good food, but...!
Confucius rushed to the house, and the students followed closely, with their faces extremely solemn.
When Confucius came back, his home was surrounded by several circles, and Confucius' students were spontaneously maintaining order.
Confucius rushed into the house in an instant.
In the room, Yan was lying on the couch, as if she was so angry that she was standing beside her, and a group of people were wiping their tears. Yan seemed to be still waiting, and she was holding on without closing her eyes.
"Mom, why did you suddenly...!" Confucius stepped forward and immediately knelt down beside Yan's bed, holding Yan's hand tightly.
Confucius knelt down, and all the students behind him knelt down.
Even if Yan is just an ordinary mortal patient, a group of immortals have no hesitation. The teacher kneels down, how can the students stand?
"Qiu'er, it's okay. Mom knows she's leaving, mom is happy!" Yan said with a weak smile.
"Mom!" Confucius suddenly felt anxious.
"No need to treat me. I know that your students have good medical skills and have saved countless Zhuang neighbors. But don't treat me, and don't treat me either!" Yan said stubbornly.
"Mom!" Confucius' eyes became wet.
Yan gently touched Kongqiu's cheek, wiped his tears, and showed a look of pride.
"Mom was already dead fourteen years ago. With your father, your heart was dead. Over the years, I just couldn't bear to be lonely and I forced myself to do it. Seeing you, a caderic god, and seeing how many students follow you, Mom is already content. Mom knows that you have finally grown up!" Yan said softly.
"Mom! You will get better! Child..." Confucius said with red eyes.
"I don't want to be fine. I want to see your father. I miss him so much. Before your father died, I told him that he must wait for me. When I raise you to adulthood, I will go to find him, Qiu'er, I can go to see your father! I'm happy that I have been with you for years and it's time to accompany your father!" Yan said softly.
Confucius only held Yan's hand, and his eyes were even more wet.
"Before leaving, there are two things to tell you!" Yan said.
"Mom, you said, I will definitely do it!" Confucius said with red eyes.
Yan's weak hand broke free from Confucius' hand and waved to a distance.
A group of people stood beside him and immediately stepped forward. In front was a boy, who looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Mom knows that you have many disciples, but as more and more students, fewer and fewer people want to hear you preach every day, because the front position is finally occupied by early students. Mom has a selfish intention. Mom comes from the Yan family. Back then, your father wanted to take a concubine because he was old and no family wanted. It was the Yan family who promised to betroth me to your father. I know that you are not close to the Yan family, but it is my mother's family. The Yan family is gradually withering. Now, if the Yan family wants to revitalize, they must have a capable person, but how can they be able? I know that you have always been fair, so, my nephew, if you want to learn from you, will definitely be ranked behind all the senior brothers according to etiquette. However, this is the only seedling in my mother's family. I hope you can take care of me!" Yan looked at Confucius and said softly.
"My mother's mother tribe is the child's mother tribe, and she will definitely take care of this nephew!" Confucius said in his eyes.
Yan looked at the Yan family members.
"Little sister, don't worry, we won't cause trouble for Qiu'er!" said an older man.
As he said that, a group of people pushed the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
"Yan Hui, pay homage to the teacher, thank you aunt!" The boy immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Confucius nodded.
Yan also sighed, obviously, the mother tribe was Yan's heart disease. Now, his son agreed to help and got rid of his heart disease.
"There is one more thing!" Yan took out a jade pendant with his other hand.
He handed it to Confucius very seriously.
"Although you were reincarnated as a great sage, my mother still remembers what your father was thinking about back then. Although you were born in a illegitimate mother, her legitimate mother did not have a son, and Meng Pi had foot disease, so your father always regarded you as a legitimate son. Your father always had a regret, that is, he left Song State and came to Lu State, and felt ashamed of his ancestors, so he died and did not return to the ancestral temple of Song State. I comforted his ancestors, if you have time, go back to Song State for your father to worship his ancestors, wouldn't it be good?" Yan looked at Confucius and said solemnly.
"Yes, the child will definitely return to Song to worship his ancestors!" Confucius said with red eyes.
"This jade pendant was also given to you by your father. He had a good friend in Song State, who was Qi Guan from Song State for generations, so he regarded "Qi Guan" as his clan. During your return to Song Dynasty, he handed this jade pendant to the head of Qi Guan's family. They would recognize that your father and he had ordered a baby marriage for you. Haha, who would have thought that this would last for so many years!" Yan gave the jade pendant to Confucius weakly.
Baby kiss?
The students lowered their heads and looked shocked. The teacher and the child's marriage? With the jade pendant, they went to Qi Guan's house and married a daughter back?
"Mom!" Confucius suddenly felt bitter in his heart.
However, Confucius couldn't stand to defend his mother's weakness.
"Yes, the child will go to Qi Guan's house!" Confucius said calmly.
As if he had finished explaining everything, Yan's figure suddenly softened.
There is no pain of dying from serious illness, but only a happy smile.
"Husband, Zheng is here to see you!" Yan's eyes seemed to see Shu Lianghe's smile in his eyes.
It was like Shu Lianghe brought people to carry a sedan chair to pick up Yan's family. Everything seemed to be like when Shu Lianghe married Yan's family when he got married.
"Mom!" Confucius cried sadly.
But Yan had already swallowed her last breath with a smile.
Confucius was crying sadly, and reached out to pinch the void, and a golden light suddenly entered Yan's eyebrows.
This trick made the students widen their eyes. What kind of method is this? Isn’t the teacher not having any cultivation?
"Mom, I know that stopping you from the sun is to make you suffer. What I can do is to use the book of life and death to reincarnate you to my father. I hope my parents will have a good relationship again in the next life!" Confucius reached out.
"Buzz!"
The void trembled slightly, as if a stream of reincarnation flashed everywhere.
A gust of cold wind blew, and countless students took a cold breath and showed a look of horror. Teacher, what method is this?
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
