V17.chapter 51 (1/2)
Outside Zhanlu Valley!
On a meadow, Confucius students surrounded it, only the center. Confucius sat on a cushion, waiting for Fan Li and Sun Wu.
At the invitation of Zilu and Yan Hui, they came to Confucius.
”Yes, Mr. Confucius!” Fan Li and Sun Wu saluted slightly.
”Please take a seat, ladies and gentlemen.” Confucius smiles.
Fan Li was OK. Now he was only an ordinary official of the state of Yue. Sun Wu was the general of the state of Wu. In order to win over himself, Wu Zixu was even the founder of the military academy.
Now, they give Confucius a gift, Confucius actually accept it? Not even a return?
Didn't Confucius advocate the rites of Zhou Dynasty? How could you be so rude?
Sun Wu is also a big gas, deep breath, nodded, and did not say anything.
They knelt down slowly on the cushions.
”I left in a hurry and didn't bring anything out. I just borrowed a pot of warm tea from ouyezi to serve you two!” Confucius said with a smile.
One side of the road immediately forward, poured the tea and handed it to three people.
”From master Ou Yezi?” Fan Li was surprised.
Sun Wu picked up the tea and drank it. After drinking, he didn't speak. He just looked at Confucius.
”Mr. Confucius, what did master Ou Yezi say to you? Why can you enter Zhanlu Valley while we can't? But master Ou Yezi is willing to give you a sword? ” Fan Li asked curiously.
Speaking of the holy sword, Sun Wu's eyes suddenly brightened.
Taking a deep breath, Confucius looked at them carefully.
”I'm leaving right away. I don't have time to wait for ouyezi to cast a sword. Maybe in this life, I won't come here to teach sword!” Confucius said.
”Oh?” There was a trace of doubt between them.
”Do you really want ouyezi's sword?” Confucius looked at them.
Sun Wu frowned and did not speak. Obviously, my heart is full of desire.
However, Fan Li chuckled bitterly: ”it's Goujian, the young master, who wants the holy sword!”
”And you?” Confucius looked at Fan Li.
”Me? I'm just a grain and money officer of the state of Yue, or a small official who was promoted by the writing system and valued by the young master Goujian. What's the use of a holy sword There was a sadness in Fan Li's voice.
”I can hear your soul weeping!” Confucius looked at Fan Li and said.
”Me?” Fan Li suddenly looked up at Confucius.
Sun Wu was also surprised to look at Confucius, and then to Fan Li. What does Confucius mean?
”Maybe next, my words, some shallow words, but after today, maybe I and you, this life will not meet! I will not set foot on the land of Wu and Yue in my life. I hope you can listen to my words and count them as a gift to you in this life. ” Confucius looked at them solemnly.
They looked at each other, but they couldn't understand each other.
”I have limited ability in this life. I can't do anything more, and I don't have time to do anything more. I just want you to keep the following words in mind.” Confucius was solemn.
At this moment, Sun Wu suddenly got up and saluted Confucius: ”I am willing to listen to the teachings of Confucius!”
Sun Wu founded a military strategist, Sun Tzu's art of war is a thorough study of some people's minds, is not tired of cheating is a profound understanding, but Confucius only sincere, Sun Wu will not put on airs.
No matter what Confucius said is useful or useless, at least, it is not harmful to yourself!
”Willing to listen to the teachings of Confucius!” Fan Li also stood up and gave a slight salute.
Confucius looked at Fan Li: ”I don't know how grateful you are to anyone, but I know that life is not what you want.”
”Me? Life now, I want it! ” Fan Li shook his head.
Now, as long as he can get close to Xi Shi and see her smiling face every day, Fan Li will be satisfied.
Confucius said with a smile: ”you know whether you want it or not. I just want to tell you that you should ask your heart every day. Is what you want originally belongs to you? Who makes you lose what you should have! Who is it? ”
”Eh? Mr. Confucius, I don't understand what you say? ” Fan Li did not understand.
”You repeat what I said Confucius looked at Fan Li.
”Does what I want belong to me? Who made me lose what I should have? Who is it? ” Fan Li frowned at Confucius.
”Yes, that's it. Fan Li, there is no doubt about your ability. Don't underestimate yourself! Remember this sentence I gave you. You don't understand what it means now because you haven't found yourself. One day, you will understand the meaning of this sentence! ” Confucius was solemn.
”Ah? I Fan Li did not understand for a moment.
Or, Fan Li seemed to have a guess in his ignorance, but he did not dare to think about it.
”What should be said, I have already said. When do you realize it and when will you change everything? I believe that if you give full play to your ability, it will be extraordinary.” Confucius was solemn.
Fan Li's face was full of doubts.Although it is still incomprehensible and incomprehensible, I still stand up and solemnly salute Confucius: ”thank you, Mr. Confucius. I will remember your words and ask myself once a day. If you understand it in the future, thank you, Mr. Confucius! ”
Confucius nodded: ”remember, you go back!”
”Ah?” Fan Li was slightly stunned.
Fan Li also wanted to ask about Ou Yezi, but Confucius had already sent the guest away, which made Fan Li anxious and depressed.
However, Fan Li did not dare to disturb him. He paid thanks to Confucius and walked away.
From the beginning to the end, Sun Wu watched Fan Li leave in a daze. When he returned to the Yue troops, he was asked by Wen Zhong.
”Mr. Confucius, do you like to meddle in their affairs, too?” Sun Wu suddenly said with a smile.
Confucius shook his head: ”I can't control it, and I have no time to manage it. However, I don't do anything, and it's wrong! This is Fan Li's calamity. He should resolve it by himself
”Mr. Confucius, at a glance, saw that the calamity of Fan Li was in the state of Yue. I wonder if Mr. Confucius could also see where the disaster was at the same time?” Sun Wu looked at Confucius as a wonderful man.
Confucius looked at Sun Wu and said with a smile, ”you? No disaster can stop you
”Oh?” Sun Wu showed a curious look.
”I just want to remind you that the state of Wu and the state of Yue are the land of right and wrong. Your talent should not be left in the internal friction of Wu and Yue.” Confucius was solemn.
