Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 38, Unity of Knowledge and Action
Inside the Little Sages Village.

Xunzi sat opposite Fu Nian.

"Uncle, for some reason, the Gongyang School began to publicize Junior Brother Ziyou, and at the same time began to close the door and see no guests. Do you know why?" Fu Nian asked,
As the head of Xiaoshengxianzhuang and the head of Confucianism, besides teaching and educating people, Fu Nian also needs to deal with various disputes within Confucianism, and the anomaly of the Gongyang School made him feel bad. It's hard to say who is the strongest internally, but whoever can cause trouble the most must be the Ram.

"You should ask Ziyou." Xunzi said flatly.

"Junior Brother Ziyou, although I have watched Junior Brother Ziyou grow up, I have never seen him through. He seems not to belong to this world. He usually plays very lively in the village, but it seems that there is always a barrier between him and this world. So-so." Fu Nian spoke out the question that had always existed in his heart.

"Ziyou is not like a person in the world. He is a variable, you know? When he was in Jixia, he should have entered the Tao and become a master, but his Tao is so great that he himself can't see it clearly. , He was thinking too much, too much for him to bear, and he lost what a young man should have." Xunzi said.

"Such a grand Tao is indeed not what people in the world should have. Why did Junior Brother Ziyou choose such a Tao?" Fu Nian asked,
"Rather than saying that he chose Tao, it would be better to say that he chose him. Ziyou has been in a state of entanglement. He wants to do something, but he doesn't know what to do, so I let him I chose "Ten Wings" as my own exercise. "Ten Wings" was written by Confucius after hearing the Book of Changes. Although it has Confucianism, its connotation is still Taoist, so I hope to use Ten Wings to help him understand The Tao in his heart, but he did not understand his Tao, and "Ten Wings" could not enlighten the Tao in his heart." Xunzi said

"Two years of traveling have allowed him to see scenes of suffering, war, people sinking, and starvation everywhere, so he gradually realized his own way. What he wants to do is to change the world, so there are four deafening sentences talk."

"Since Junior Brother Ziyou is already enlightened, why can't he enter the Tao?" Fu Nian asked in puzzlement.

"Ming Wu only has what he wants in his heart. As for how to achieve what he wants in his heart, he is still far behind. It is like a box containing countless treasures, but it lacks a key to open it." Xunzi said.

Fu Nian could only sigh, the Tao is profound and mysterious, some people who have practiced for a lifetime are still only one step away, while some people only understand their Tao in a moment, it is not a dream to become a master immediately, Ziyou's The way is too big, beyond any one of the hundred schools, so no one can help him, only him.

"I have a question I've always wanted to ask my uncle, but I don't know if I should ask it or not?" Fu Nian asked.

"What's the problem? Mother-in-law doesn't have the decisiveness of a Confucian master." Xunzi cursed.

"Uncle Master's lesson is, why did Uncle Master accept Junior Brother back then?" Fu Nian asked.

"That's what you want to ask?" Xunzi asked.
Fu Nian nodded, this is one of the secrets of the whole Xiaoshengxianzhuang. When Xunzi brought Ziyou back, he only said that this is my disciple from now on, so he will not say more. Many people are curious about Ziyou's origin and why he was killed. Xunzi accepted it.

"The head of the generation is always curious about the secrets of the small way, how to teach good disciples, and how to deal with the internal affairs of Confucianism." As he spoke, Xunzi began to preach to Fu Nian, who did not dare to raise his head at all, his forehead The face was covered with cold sweat.

"Go back and read "Shangshu" ten times." Xunzi walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Coincidentally, Yan Lu pushed the door open and saw the angry Xunzi and Fu Nian who was said to be sweating profusely, and closed the door again, not daring to speak.

"A man is submissive, what is he like, Lu, come in!" Xunzi said to Yan Lu.

Yan Lu showed a wry smile, today's lecture will not run away.

Xunzi left after preaching to Yan Lu, leaving the two of them looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Brother, what did you do to anger the uncle again?" Yan Lu said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"No, I just asked my uncle why he accepted Junior Brother Ziyou." Fu Nian said looking at Xunzi's leaving back.

Xunzi was walking in Xiaoshengxian Village, and he could not help but recall the six-year-old naughty boy who knelt in front of him and shouted:

"Master Xun, I heard that you have no children, so I want to take care of you."

At that time, he was also surprised by the sudden kneeling of the naughty boy. Looking at the six-year-old Ziyou, Xunzi found it very interesting, so he accepted Ziyou. Thinking of him, Xun Kuang, how could there be no people to take care of?

Ever since he traveled to today, the scenes that happened to Ziyou kept flashing in his mind. At the beginning, after knowing that this was Qin Shimingyue's world, he just wanted to live a good life with his arms around his thighs. If possible, he would go to Just find a beautiful girl to marry, but I always feel that doing so is no different from the ordinary and boring life of my previous life, so what he wanted to do, at first he didn't know what to do, like a stone blocking In his heart, so he started to commit crimes in Little Sage's Village to pass the time.

Later, he went out to travel. During his travels, he saw too much misery, people who were displaced by war, people who starved to death on the road because of famine, and civilians who were oppressed wantonly.
Scenes were once again in front of Ziyou, he understood what he wanted to do, he wanted to shake the whole world with one person, take advantage of the power of heaven, gather the power of the world, seek stability for this land, The people seek a survival and have a goal, but they lack a path to achieve it, or they are frightened by their own thoughts and don't know how to achieve it.

As the saying goes, fame comes from success, and fame comes from failure. Ziyou has always thought that he is a person who doesn't care about reputation, and he can do all kinds of ridiculous things, but now that he thinks about it, the reason why he is tied up is because he thinks too much. Too much, I don’t want to waste my efforts, but what about failure?Not doing it is a failure in itself.

As the so-called "Shangshu" has "the difficulty of not knowing, but the difficulty of doing".

"Hahahaha." Ziyou suddenly laughed loudly, with Ziyou's laughter, the whole sky was gradually covered by dark clouds, and the strong wind blew, Ziyou walked out of the house and stood in the courtyard.

"Sir!" Xue Nu just wanted to go out when she was stopped by Concubine Yan.

"He has entered the Tao, don't bother."

Xuenv also calmed down after hearing what Concubine Yan said.

"If you don't try your best, but study literature and be flashy, who will you become? If you combine knowledge and action, use knowledge to promote action, and use action to seek knowledge, then you will become my way."

Thunder and lightning struck wantonly in the sky, and Ziyou's voice resounded throughout the entire world, and thunder exploded one after another. A man in general's armor in Yanmen Pass saw the change in the sky, and was startled suddenly.

"Someone has entered the Tao!"
