Chapter 72 Sages preach, great men of the world
Confucius?
Lu Xuan's heart tightened.
Although there are gaps in history today and most of the classics and historical materials have been lost, the name of Confucius has still been passed down! !
After all, he is the founder of Confucianism, and even in today's world, there are still many major practitioners who admire Confucianism and even use Confucianism to enter Taoism!
Is it the same name? Or is it that the strong man in front of me is the legendary Confucius?
"May I ask this gentleman, what is the purpose of coming here to search for and preserve the history of Tibet?" Lu Xuan asked softly, although his heart was thundering, but his face was as flat as a lake.
On the side, Yin Xi was still vigilant, looking up and down at the man in front of him who called himself Confucius. He had heard of this name. He had become famous recently, but...
The strong man returned the courtesy and said with a gentle smile:
"I heard that the Zhou Dynasty's keeper of history is one of the best in the world, so I came here to ask for advice."
"That's me." Lu Xuan said calmly, and immediately raised his hand to invite you: "Mr. Kong, let's talk in the house."
There was no surprise on Confucius' face. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he did not enter the room directly. Instead, he bowed again and said:
"I'm here to ask for advice. I don't deserve to be called Sir. My name is Zhongni. You just call me Zhongni."
After saying that, he stepped aside.
Kong Qiu, Kong Zhongni
It’s really that Confucius!
Confucian sage!
Even in Lu Xuan's state of mind, he was already a great master. He controlled his body extremely accurately without losing his composure.
But, this is Confucius asking me for advice?
Lu Xuan felt a little guilty and pushed the door open with Yin Xi, followed closely by Kong Qiu.
After entering the collection room, the three of them sat down on the futon. Lu Xuan immersed himself in the water, Yin Xi was alert, and Kong Qiu looked around at the collection of books, slightly envious.
"I don't know what you want to ask Zhongni?" The young man straightened his clothes and asked softly with clear eyes.
Confucius sat upright and said seriously:
"Now that I am an official in the State of Lu, I have seen a lot of intrigues, fame and wealth, and many people have been displaced. I have experienced life and death, and I am confused."
"Please say."
"I have thought about it many times. Ordinary people live only a hundred years, and ordinary immortals and Buddhas also have their lifespan expired. However, since birth, there will be endless troubles and suffering. So what is the purpose of this life?"
He sighed:
"The deceased is like a man. He doesn't give up day and night, and his life is very short. Most people have been marching towards death since they were born, without stopping for a moment. How miserable is it?"
Lu Xuan thought seriously, thinking of what his teacher once said, and also of the "Path of Inaction" advocated by his sect.
After a moment, he whispered:
"Human beings come from heaven and earth and are one with nature. Birth, old age, sickness and death are just like spring, summer, autumn and winter. They are the laws of nature. So what is there to be sad about?"
After a pause, he continued:
"Therefore, ordinary people only need to let nature take its course, walk in the world without doing anything, and do what they want but do not go beyond the rules. How can they be troubled by suffering? But if you let fame and fortune be bound by the word, or run for benevolence and righteousness, sorrow will arise on its own. Zhong Why do you need to sigh?"
Yin Xi, who was listening quietly, was stunned for a moment. He caught a glimpse of purple air and the shadow of a golden lotus and a small flower all around, and his heart trembled.
Confucius didn't notice the changes around him, but he just saluted and said again:
"I just admire benevolence and righteousness. My worry is that in the world of human beings, benevolence and righteousness are not practiced, wars and disasters continue in various countries, and there are immortals and Buddhas who are high in the ninth heaven and regard millions of people as ants. My way is promising, I Sighing that I can’t do anything good for the world, I can’t do anything for the people!”
As he said that, he raised his eyes to look at the young-looking Shouzang Shi in front of him, waiting for an answer, waiting for his doubts to be clarified.
Another moment passed, and Confucius saw the young man in front of him straightening his clothes, with clear eyes, caressing the table, and then immediately raised the water glass.
"Zhongni, please take a look."
Lu Xuan pushed the cup and asked:
"What's in the cup?"
Zhongni replied:
"water."
"Shan." Lu Xuan put down the water glass and his expression became solemn: "I once heard something said by my teacher, and now I will tell you again."
He paused with each word, and when he spoke it, the illusory golden lotus, smallpox, etc. around him condensed into reality, the sound of the Tao was long, and the fairy music was faint!
Yin Xi's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Water is one of all things, and it also has its own virtues. Water follows nature, does not linger on what is liked by all living beings, and does not stop at what is disliked by all living beings. Isn't such virtue closer to the Great Dao?"
“The greatest good is like water, water benefits all things without any struggle.”
The young man gradually entered the state and began to explain the Tao and principles he had understood. From the beginning, he debated with Confucius, and later developed into "teaching".
His words were every word, and his voice was very weak at first, but then it gradually became louder, starting from the time when he was guarding the Tibetan room, until it resounded throughout the three thousand miles of Luoyang city! !
After speaking for a long time, the young man asked lightly:
"So, do you understand?"
Confucius was impressed, stood up and bowed, and held the great ceremony:
"Thank you sir for your advice!"
Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized who was in front of him!
Saint Kong!
He was slightly startled and wanted to avoid praying, but as soon as his thoughts turned, he sat upright again and accepted it calmly.
At this moment, outside the storage room, the color of the sky changes, the purple air is vast, flowers are falling from the sky, and golden lotuses are pouring from the ground!
The sound of the Tao was vague, and the soldiers and traders listened attentively. The officials, princes, and princes looked shocked. The emperor stood up and looked at the purple air above his head, the fairy flowers blooming, and the golden lotus blooming. He remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, Emperor Zhou asked:
"Where does this sound of the great road come from?"
"It should be the room where I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, keep his possessions."
"Who is the current Shou Zangshi?"
"The eighteenth keeper of Tibetan history, Lu Xuanye!"
The emperor sighed:
"Mr. Lu, the greatest virtue in this world!"
The officials said it was true, and the historian recorded it with a carving knife.
[Zhou Shi Lu Xuan, the 18th governor of the Zhou Dynasty, was preaching. Flowers fell from the sky and golden lotuses surged from the ground. All the people listened attentively, and the emperor was moved. 】
[The Emperor of Zhou praised him and said: Lu Xuan is a great virtue and a sage in this world! 】
And when the historian recorded it,
The purple air, fairy flowers, golden lotus, etc. in the sky gathered together and turned into a golden brilliance, which cut through the sky like a lumen and fell into the storage room and above Lu Xuan's head.
The young man bathed in the vast light and sat on the futon, just like a sage.
In this one breath, seventy-two acupoints were opened.
Lu Xuan opened his eyes and stood up from the bed suddenly.
"Confucius"
He let out a breath of turbid air, in a daze, with a wry smile on his face.
I don’t know what the vast light is. After it was poured in, seventy-two apertures were opened one after another. You must know that I am practicing the Taishang Foundation Building Chapter. According to the teacher, after practicing this chapter, the apertures are ten times wider than ordinary ones. people!
In other words, if he hadn't practiced the Taishang Foundation Building Chapter, he might have perfected the acupoints at this moment?
And that Confucius.
Sadness flashed across the young man's face. This time it was over, but the Confucius said that he would come back for advice after a while.
"That's all, let's talk about it then!"
Lu Xuan stood up and realized the changes that had occurred in his body. The one he opened himself plus the seventy-two opened just now, a total of seventy-three acupoints were shining brightly.
Not only that, the physical body seems to have undergone some obscure changes. If you look closely at the skin, there is a faint golden luster underneath, and there seems to be a special aura wrapped around the body.
Lu Xuan tried to activate the special aura attached to his body, and after carefully comprehending it, he felt that its rhyme was brilliant and majestic.
I just don't know what's the use anymore.
"Now that my acupuncture points have been opened for seventy-three times, the normal efficiency of inducing the infusion and flushing of heaven and earth vitality has been greatly reduced. If there are no spiritual objects, I am afraid that the speed of opening the acupoints will be greatly reduced."
While muttering to himself, Lu Xuan suddenly remembered Uncle Wu's description of the acupoints.
"Little monks have to practice it, and immortals also have to practice it. The difference is that monks refine their form, and immortals practice their true nature, and they practice it to create vast worlds!"
vast world
Otherwise, give it a try?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan immediately crossed his legs on the bed and looked inside the first acupoint opened on his left hand. He could only see that the energy of heaven and earth was filled with it, and there was also a thick [shell] around the acupoint.
He was curious and tried to unlock the 'shell' around the orifice, but he couldn't shake it at all.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xuan changed his method, carefully activating the mediation and applying it to that aperture.
Mediating creation can evolve the heaven and earth and create all things.
Immortals practice acupuncture points to refine the acupoints into heaven and earth.
In the next second, energy and energy flowed away crazily, and the young man's face became visibly pale.
But with the passage of energy and energy, the 'shell' around the aperture also produced a wave of fluctuations!
not enough!
Lu Xuan inspired the true meaning of the wood-cutting style, activated the sword-killing style, and used his supreme sharpness to mediate the creation, with the intention of dispelling that 'shell'!
This time it really worked. With an unspeakable shattering sound, the 'shell' broke, and the scene inside was revealed.
"This is."
In the orifice, there is chaos and chaos, with clear and turbid coexisting, and the absorbed heaven and earth energy is stored in the narrow gap between the clear and turbid, that's all.
Lu Xuan's heart moved, and he tried the sword-killing style to split the chaos!
‘Boom! ! ’
The chaos in the orifice rippled.
Immediately, he used his good offices to mediate creation and cooperated with the sword-killing style to try to transform the chaos, clearness, turbidity, etc. in the acupoints into innate spiritual energy.
Chaos began to oscillate violently and tended to split apart!
it works!
Lu Xuan became excited, and the speculation in his mind was confirmed. When he was planning to use his good offices to transform chaos again, and use the sword-killing style to split chaos,
However, he found that he had a strong feeling of dizziness, and all his energy and energy had been completely drained. He was as tired as the wisp of flat peach that created him in the first place!
No, in terms of loss alone, it is far better than that time!
"Oh, you've gone too far."
His spirit was exhausted and he passed out.
In the coma, Yuanshi's body, which had only a few scratches, began to slowly, slowly change.
