Honghuang: I, the Jade Emperor, will never be a puppet!

Kong Qiu was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.

I didn't get what I wanted.

Decided to say goodbye to Lear.

Seeing this, Li Er did not stop him, but let Kong Qiu leave.

said: "I heard that it is now popular to give gifts when you say goodbye to nobles, and I am penniless, so I will give you a few words."

Kong Qiu said respectfully: "Teacher, please speak."

Li Er said:

"At present, the reason why a person who is too smart is easy to die is that he likes to talk about others.

"I know that people who are good at debating like to publicize the ugly things of others, which will lead to death.

After hearing this, Kongqiu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Heart Dao, what Li Er said, isn't it a reflection of himself.

Hurriedly thanked respectfully: "The teacher is very gracious, and the students dare not forget."

Li Er did not care about Kong Qiu's departure, but continued to study his own knowledge.

Decades like a day.

In addition to reading books, Li Er also does some strange actions every day.

When outsiders saw him, they asked curiously what he was doing.

Li Er replied with a smile: "This is called the art of tuna, which can keep people alive and prolong their lives." The

outsider tried it a few times, but when he saw that it didn't work, he joked that Li Er was useless, so he shook his head and left.

Li Er did not get angry for this, but continued to practice the art of tuna.

And in the twentieth year, Confucius was depressed and came to visit Li Er again.

Said: "Teacher, I am very worried that I have lost my benevolence and righteousness, that all countries will be wars and chaos without restraint, and that life is very short, that I cannot make meritorious deeds, nor can I ask for the lives of the people, and I feel guilty in my heart.

When Li Er heard this, he smiled and said: "You see that the star map in the sky is orderly? The sun rises and the moon sets, but someone manages it? Everything is just your personal troubles, you must learn to go with the flow, the country is self-governing, and people are self-righteous."

"Sticking to the rules and regulations of ancient rites will only bind people's nature and make them puppets.

When Confucius heard this, he fell into a brief silence.

Lear took him to the shore again to see where the river went.

"Do you know the virtue of water?"

Kong Qiu shook his head.

Lear pointed to the river below:

"The good is like water, and all things go high, but the water flows downward."

"There is nothing more humble in the world than water, but it is a vast ocean.

"It is very weak, but it nourishes all things silently, so that all things cannot do without it.

After hearing this, Kong Qiu suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Teacher, I understand what you said, to really teach a person, it is not necessarily to give him too many constraints, but to be like water, slow and soft, and not to be impatient.

Li Er nodded and said, "Good." "

After Kongqiu got what he wanted this time.

After returning home, he no longer worshipped officials, but began to write books and start studies, and traveled between countries.

He traveled around the world with his disciples.

A few more years.

Chaos in the human world has occurred frequently, and friction has begun to rise between countries, and war is about to break out.

Shen Gongbao found that behind all countries there are shadows of all races, and even the Wu clan, which has been silent for many years, has shown signs of recovery.

Li Er felt Zhou's weakness and returned home to study with peace of mind.

Suddenly, one day.

At noon, it became extremely dark, the sky was turned upside down, and the sun and moon were dark.

It was pitch black, as if the end had come.

When Lao Tzu was spitting, he closed his eyes tightly and opened them.

Bursts of essence swirled in his eyes, as if the sun and the moon were in his eyes.

He said, "Dao Shengyi."

As soon as these words came out, all the immortals of the Three Realms opened their eyes and cast their eyes over.

"Two in one life, two in three. The

immortals saw Li Er spitting out golden lotus, and there was a faint Taoist rhyme on his body.

"Three begets and all things. "

The golden lotus is in full bloom, and the fragrance wafts in the human world.

The fear of the nations rising in the darkness vanished at this moment.

Listen all in silence.

"The fate of Daonaifmo is always natural. "

The sound of the avenue, knocking on the heart, endless auspiciousness floats in the air.

Wan Dao is the same as Li Er, slowly forming a gossip immortal map.

At this time, Li Er slowly walked upwards to the sky.

In the body of a mortal, he stood in the air, looking down on the earth, and mouthed three thousand truths.

said indifferently: "The three points of human education are ultimately one, and it is not like intercepting and explaining the division of human teaching, and since then the name has been passed down for generations." With a

gentle wave of his hand, the black shadow disappeared in the sky

, and the sun reappeared, and it was the sun that was shining, and spring returned to the earth.

Receiving and mentioning it, he couldn't help but pout: "Senior brother, he has become stronger again!"

Lao Tzu landed, and the endless holy light returned to his body.

He glanced at it lightly, and said not far away: "Come out!" Shen

Gongbao was startled, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly appeared in front of Lao Tzu.

Said respectfully: "Senior nephew Shen Gongbao, I have seen the master uncle."

Lao Tzu looked at Shen Gongbao indifferently and said, "You have been protecting me for more than 70 years, and you can be regarded as having a heart."

Shen Gongbao said: "Everything is the order of the master, and Shen Gongbao does not dare to take credit."

Lao Tzu smiled: "You are practicing by my side now, you can ask me if you have any questions!" Shen

Gongbao was shocked and said: "Uncle Shi is not going back to the palace?"

Lao Tzu quipped: "I have to wait for one more person before I can leave."

Shen Gongbao said curiously: "What did the senior uncle say, but my senior brother?"

Lao Tzu nodded and said: "Exactly, I will leave when he comes, your master is lazy, and even the affairs of the disciples have to be done for me."

Shen Gongbao bowed his head and said: "The wisdom of the master is like the sea, and no one can compare." When

Kong Qiu knew that Lao Tzu had established Taoism, he immediately put down all the affairs in his hand and came to visit.

"Teacher Kongqiu came to visit.

Lao Tzu had already thought that Kong Qiu was coming, so he sat down in the first place and asked him to come forward: "Sit down."

When Kong Qiu saw Lao Tzu, his heart was quite shocked, it was very different from what he usually saw, he was no longer the old man in the twilight of his previous years.

It's vibrant, and even around him will make people's hearts open and clear-headed.

Exclaimed: "This is the power of the Tao?" Lao

Tzu said: "It seems to be the Tao but not the Tao."

Kong Qiu was puzzled: "What does the teacher mean?"

Lao Tzu said: "It's my way, but it's not your way."

Confucius pondered for a long time and asked, "What is my

Dao?" Lao Tzu smiled and said: "If you want to see the Great Dao, you need to ask your heart, what is the Tao in your heart?"

Confucius asked himself: "My Dao?

Kong Qiu was silent, pondering Lao Tzu's words.

Lao Tzu said again: "The Tao is in the heart."

Kong Qiu stood up and saluted, and said respectfully, "Thank you for your advice."

Lao Tzu said: "I have solved the doubts in your heart, you can go back."

Kong Qiu asked, "Where does the teacher want to go in the future?"

Lao Tzu said: "Do whatever you want, do it naturally."

Kong Qiu nodded, reluctantly bid farewell to Lao Tzu, returned home and resigned from his official position, and began to write books and start studying.

Lao Tzu looked at Shen Gongbao and said, "What questions do you have?"

Shen Gongbao said: "What is the balance of yin and yang!".
