V17.chapter 52 (1/2)
Song guopeidi!
After studying the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu went to the four directions Hall of the state of Qin to preach about the world. After living in the state of Qin for some years, he began to travel around the world, and finally lived in Peidi of the state of song.
Laozi lived in Pei, which naturally led to numerous scholars from all over the world to come to seek advice.
No matter what people in the world approve of Taoism, Laozi's Tao Te Ching should be the first in the world at the moment, and no one refutes it. Similarly, Taoism is also the most prestigious doctrine in the world.
At this moment, Lao Tzu once again instructed those who came to ask for advice and sent them to go to the house to have a rest.
But see, its student, Yang Zhu respectfully holding a letter of worship to go to the front.
”Who sent the invitation again?” Laozi asked curiously.
”Teacher, do you remember Confucius in the state of Lu?” Yang Zhu said with a smile.
”Confucius?” Lao Tzu's face moved.
”Yes, it's the Confucius who created his own Confucian doctrine, three thousand Li Road, who would dare to come to the teacher to challenge him! Now I've sent you this letter of worship. I want to ask the teacher for advice! ” Yang Zhu said with a smile.
Lao Tzu didn't look at the invitation, but looked at Yang Zhu.
”Teacher, this time, I am not disrespectful, Confucius students came first to send worship, I still treat them with courtesy!” Yang Zhu immediately said.
Last time, Yang Zhu was punished for his impoliteness to Confucius.
At that time, Yang Zhu didn't know that Laozi attached great importance to Confucius, so he ignored him. This time, he did not dare.
”Oh? Twenty years later, he came to see me again? ” Lao Tzu deeply inhaled the airway.
”Yes, Confucius student Zi Yu said that Confucius's carriage is on the road and will arrive in about five days! He is specially arranged to deliver the letter Yang Zhu said solemnly.
Lao Tzu was silent for a while, and finally showed a look of pride: ”come on, then, for 20 years, I'll see what achievements this former sage has made.”
”Yes, I'll answer Ziyu.” Yang Zhu nodded.
”In the next few days, all scheduled visits will be postponed. I'll see Confucius. Goodbye!” Laozi said calmly.
”Ah? The teacher, a Confucius, is a defeated general of the teacher. He needs such kind treatment...! ” Yang Zhu was surprised.
As soon as Lao Tzu was ready to go back to the house, he turned to look at Yang Zhu.
”Yang Zhu, you are one of my students with the best understanding. I believe that one day, you will also shine in this world, and then your reputation will not be weaker than mine!” Laozi said calmly.
”Teacher?” Yang Zhu's face showed a trace of joy.
”However, from your words and deeds, I have to worry that your future will only be a flash in the pan. Although you can be famous all over the world, it will not be remembered by later generations. Focusing on the prosperity and blooming in front of you, there is no long-term vision for follow-up!” Laozi said calmly.
”I, I...!” Yang Zhu's face turned red for a moment.
”Calm down and do your own business! Do your own knowledge is the fundamental, at the same time, do not belittle other people's knowledge, feet have strong points, inch is short, the sea contains all rivers, the way is the road! If you have no tolerance, you will lose yourself Lao Tzu taught seriously.
Yang Zhu looked at Confucius and his face turned red: ”yes, teacher!”
Laozi nodded and walked back to the room.
Only Yang Zhu was left, his face flushed. Yang Zhu accepted Lao Tzu's praise, but he was still a little unconvinced to Lao Tzu's criticism, but he did not dare to express himself in front of Laozi.
When Laozi went back to his room to rest, Yang Zhu turned his head and walked to Ziyu with a stream of resentment.

on a road, Confucius' carriage team stopped, but Zi Yu came to report.
”Teacher, I have agreed. Five days later, I will wait for you!” Ziyu looked at Confucius with a smile.
”If you promise, why are you so happy?” Confucius has a wonderful way.
”The students saw Yang Zhu!” Zi Yu said with a smile.
”Elder martial brother, did you see Yang Zhu?”
”That boy, have you been beaten?”
”Hum, I can't believe that Yang Zhu has been following Laozi all the time!”

All Confucius students immediately gathered around.
After all, in Luoyi, Yang Zhu wanted to give Confucius a strong hand. All the Confucius students were angry. No one can be angry. Why do you look down on the teacher, Yang Zhu?
The teacher insults the disciple to be angry!
”Yang Zhu, indeed, has some abilities. No wonder he was taught by Laozi.” Ziyu said.
”Oh? Younger martial brother, why do you admire Yang Zhu so much? ” Zi Lu said curiously.
”Before I left, he” inadvertently ”showed me his way! What a road, 3000 miles! It's extraordinary Zi Yu said with a smile.
”Three thousand miles? This is for you on purpose? Twenty years ago, I went to Laozi three thousand miles from the teacher's road. Did he demonstrate to you? Or demonstrate to the teacher? In warning the teacher, he also has three thousand li road? ” Zi Lu was astonished.”Three thousand miles? Yang Zhu is really capable Yan Hui frowned.
”Ziyu, can you argue with him?” Confucius looked at Ziyu.
Ziyu shook his head: ”the disciple did not, the teacher's words and deeds taught, let the students understand, cold, and then know that pine and cypress after withering also!”
Confucius looked at Ziyu with satisfaction and patted him on the shoulder: ”yes, you can understand. I'm glad to be a teacher. I also believe that you are the pine and cypress tree!”
Thank you for your praise Ziyu immediately happy way.
”Younger martial brother, your talent is also the highest among us, 3000 Li Road? I remember half a year ago, did you get there? Why don't you show it to Yang Zhu? ” Zilu looked at Ziyu with envy.
Ziyu gave a little courtesy to Zilu and laughed without explanation.
A group of Confucius students, suddenly a burst of elation.

five days passed in a flash!
