Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 166: Many Wisdom and Near Ghosts (4K)

In the early morning, above the Zishui River, the wind was bitterly cold.

Zai Yu stood at the bow of the boat, closed his eyes, and stretched out his hands to feel the dry and cold air coming from all directions.

Behind him, the braided Zhao Wuxie and Gongshuban followed suit, also stretching their arms to imitate the master.

Suddenly, Zaiyu opened his eyes abruptly, put his limbs on the ground, advanced three times and retreated twice, sometimes moving and sometimes still, sometimes walking and sometimes stopping.

While practicing, Zaiyu was still chanting words: "It's as quiet as a forest, as swift as the wind, as aggressive as a fire, as immovable as a mountain."

Zhao Wuxie and Gongshu Ban also learned his moves, did exactly the same, and also recited the formulas from the master's mouth.

At this time, Fan Li had just woken up, he stepped out of the cabin and stretched, and saw the scene of Zai Yu leading the students to practice.

He turned pale with fright, and was about to remind the three of them to pay attention to 'disappearing', but when he glanced at them, he saw that they had already changed into the 'hu trousers' they wore for practicing, so he was a little relieved.

He watched it for a while, and suddenly felt that this exercise was interesting, so he smiled and asked.

"Zaizi, what are you practicing for?"

Zaiyu finished his routine and sat on the floor with his legs curled up. After adjusting his breathing, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Wu Qin Xi."

Fan Li asked curiously, "Oh? What is Wu Qin Xi?"

Zai Yu said: "The so-called five-animal play is a set of methods for strengthening the body derived from observing the actions of birds and beasts.

If you practice Wuqinxi for a long time, you can comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, get rid of physical diseases, and make your limbs strong and flexible.

If you practice for a short time, it can also increase your appetite and help relieve inner depression. "

"It's so amazing?"

As soon as Fan Li asked this question, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

If someone else said such a thing, Fan Li would definitely take him as boasting, but the person sitting in front of him was Zaizi Tuqiu.

He was able to write "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" and developed a set of Wu Qin Xi for physical fitness, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.

Fan Li asked: "I don't know what five birds are your so-called five birds?"

As the breeze passed by, Zaiyu's clothes were picked up, and he stood alone, standing on the bow of the boat, as if he was a master of the world.

"The so-called five birds: one is called the tiger, the other is called the deer, the third is called the bear, the fourth is called the ape, and the fifth is called the bird."

Upon hearing this, Fan Li asked with a smile: "The name Wu Qin Xi is too ordinary, why didn't you name it after the five spirits that the world fears?
The five spirits are lin, phoenix, tortoise, dragon and tiger.

At the same time, the five spirits can also correspond to the five emperors of heaven, namely, the Eastern Blue Emperor, the Southern Red Emperor, the Central Yellow Emperor, the Western White Emperor, and the Northern Black Emperor.

With the five spirits in front, are you still afraid that this method will not be accepted by the world? "

Unexpectedly, when Jai Yu heard this, he just shook his head slightly.

It's not that he never thought about changing the name of Wu Qin Xi, but he was afraid that his master would beat him to death after changing the name.

Although today's world has long been broken, he is a student of the master after all, and now he is just a little Tuqiu doctor, how dare he steal the name and virtue of the five spirits?
Zaiyu said: "Phoenix has not appeared in the world for a long time now. The virtues of the five spirits are too extensive, and it is really unbearable with my body!"

At this time, Zhao Wuxie and Gongshu Ban were also tired from practicing. They heard Zaiyu talk about the five spirits, so they clamored for him to tell a story.

"How extensive is the virtue of the five spirits?"

Zai Yu glanced at the two boys, and felt that their tails were raised too high recently, and it was time to beat them.

So he opened his mouth and said, "Let's take Phoenix as an example.

When the Yellow Emperor ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven, he inherited the blessings of heaven, cultivated himself in the way of tomorrow, and promoted benevolence to the people, so the world was peaceful.

However, the arrival of the phoenix has not been seen for a long time.

The Yellow Emperor missed the phoenix day and night, so he asked the sage Tian Lao: What does the phoenix look like?

The old man said: The front of the phoenix looks like a cormorant, and the back looks like a unicorn, with a snake neck and a fish tail, a crane head and mandarin duck gills, a dragon pattern on a turtle body, and a swallow beak and a chicken pecking.

The phoenix wears virtue on its head, righteousness on its top, benevolence on its back, and integrity and wisdom in its heart.

It pays attention to rules when eating, and pays attention to appearance when drinking water.

There is literary beauty when leaving, and auspiciousness when coming.

Fenghuang Chenming is called "Invention", Zhouming is called "Baochang", Feiming is called "Shangxiang", and Jiming is called "Guichang".

Its wings carry benevolence and righteousness, its heart embraces loyalty, its feet are on the right path, and its tail is tied with valor.

When calling softly, it must be accompanied by bell music, and when calling loudly, it must be accompanied by drumsticks.

The phoenix stretches its neck and spreads its wings.

The five-color brilliance is all presented, and the wind and clouds rise in all directions, and the wind and clouds rain down in time. This is the image of the phoenix.

The phoenix deduces all things, obeys the blessings, transforms into various shapes, and understands the laws between heaven and earth.

When it leaves, there will be disasters, and when it appears, it will bring blessings.

The phoenix has a panoramic view of the land of Kyushu, watching the wind and clouds in all directions, with complete martial arts and martial arts, rectifying the country, and deterring treacherous evil.

Its majesty shines in all directions, and all sages, benevolent people, and sages are worshiped under it.

Therefore, when the monarch has the virtue of the phoenix, the phoenix will pass here.

There are two virtues where the phoenix will rest.

With three virtues, the phoenix will come in spring and autumn.

With the four virtues, the phoenix will appear in the four seasons.

If the monarch can have both its five virtues, then the phoenix will live in this country for life.

After listening to Tianlao's description, Huang Di sighed, "Hi!The virtues of the phoenix are really grand!
So he wore a crown on his head, tied a yellow belt, and fasted in the middle palace.

The phoenix felt the virtue and sincerity of the Yellow Emperor, so he descended to block the sky and block the sun.

The Yellow Emperor walked down the east steps, saluted to the west and said: God blesses you, how dare you not accept the destiny?
So the phoenix landed in the garden in the east, ate the bamboo in the Yellow Emperor's garden, perched on the plane tree, and never left for life. "

Speaking of this, Zaiyu turned his head to look at Zhao Wuxie and Gongshuban, and asked: "I asked you to recite "Poetry" before, and there is a song "Juan" in "Daya" of "Poetry", have you memorized it by heart? "

Gongshuban was taken aback by Zaiyu's question, but Zhao Wuxie, who has always been serious and hardworking, had already reflected it.

He raised his hand and asked: "Master, there is a sentence in "Jan A": The phoenix sings, on the high hill, and the phoenix tree grows, on the rising sun.

This is probably what you said just now, right? "

Jai Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Wu Shi! Now I can talk to you about the principles in the Poetry."

Gongshuban heard that Zai Yu praised Zhao Wuxie, and asked anxiously, "Master, when can you talk about "Poetry" with me?"

Zaiyu shook his head pretending to be sad and said: "You can't even recite "Juan", I just want to talk to you, can you understand what I'm talking to you about?"

When Gongshuban heard Zaiyu's words, he blushed and lowered his head, and seriously bowed to his master to admit his mistake.

"I offended Master in the past, and now I'm going to recite "Poetry". I hope you will be willing to discuss the truth with me after I finish memorizing "Poem."

After finishing speaking, Gongshu Ban ran back all the way with small steps, and before leaving, he did not forget to give Zhao Wuxie an angry look.

"He secretly recited "Poetry" without telling me!"

Zhao Wuxie wanted to explain: "That's what I've learned by heart before!"

But Gongshuban didn't listen to his explanation. After all, considering his small head full of carpentry skills, it is probably difficult to understand what is going on with Zhao Wuxie's extraordinary memory that can be recited proficiently after reading it several times. .

It's like Jae Yu couldn't figure out why the two of them struggled to ask questions every day, but it was so difficult to get the compliment from the master.

But Yan Hui just sat there and listened to the lecture, without asking any questions or answering anything, and the master was full of praise for him.

The Master said: I and Hui talk all day long, and there is no violation, just like a fool.It is enough to retreat and save one's own selfishness, and it is not foolish to return.

The master said: I lectured to Yan Hui all day long, and he never raised any objections, just like a stupid person.But when he retired, I observed that when he discussed with others in private, he was able to develop what I said, which shows that Yan Hui is not stupid!

What is this called? !
Yan Hui did nothing and was praised every day.

How to change it to me, it becomes:

This kid Zaiyu is not a benevolent person!
You are not the type to ask such questions!

Dead wood cannot be carved!

Take people with words, but lose them.

But Zaiyu was relieved that Zigong wasn't too strong.

Thank you, the saying 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you' is not something you can do.

You are not as good as Yan Hui, and you and I are not as good as Yan Hui!

Hulian too!
Ci, are you really that talented?I don't have time to talk about other people.

Thinking about it this way, Jae Yu felt much better.

But it's no wonder Master likes Yan Hui, Zai Yu thinks about it now, if he had a student like Yan Hui, he probably would have liked it too.

No matter what you teach, if you understand a little bit, you can be regarded as smart.

After learning it, he can really do it by himself. No matter what difficulties he encounters, he can't shake his determination to practice his ideas.

How can this kind of student not please the teacher?

Looking at the waves of Zishui, Zaiyu felt emotional in his heart, and was about to compose a poem and a song to sing his aspirations, when he suddenly felt a chill behind his back.

He looked back, and Zi Gong got up at some point.

Zigong frowned, and muttered: "Zi, did you scold me in your heart just now?"

You know this as well?
Zaiyu hurriedly changed the subject. He looked around the Zishui River and found that many farmlands appeared one after another, so he opened his mouth and said.

"I can already see the fields. It seems that this place is not far from Tuqiu."

With his hands behind his back, Fan Li said regretfully, "What a pity! I have gained a lot from getting along with you these days.

I wanted to continue to discuss knowledge with you, but I was ordered by the king, so I had to return to Yuedi to report to the king.

This farewell, when I meet you next time, I don't know what year and month it will be? "

Zai Yu replied with a smile: "It shouldn't be too late when we meet next time."

"Oh? Why did Zaizi say that?"

Zai Yu said: "The king of your country, don't you want to find the iron essence that can be used to forge magic weapons?
This time he sent you to visit, but failed to find the iron essence, presumably you will be sent to look for it again soon after you make some adjustments in Yuedi, right? "

Fan Li smiled and asked: "Listen to Zaizi, when I visit next time, your tutu fur will surely produce iron essence?"

"Whether you can practice it or not doesn't prevent you from coming to my place as a guest, doesn't it?"

Zai Yu looked at him and smiled, and Fan Li nodded with a smile and said, "Your words sound very crude at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, they make a lot of sense!"

To put it bluntly, travel with public funds!
This still needs Zaizi to teach you?
Xu Fu was looking for an elixir of immortality. He dared to ask Shi Huangdi to ask for 3000 virgins and virgins. They also had to eat and drink as offerings. All they went out to sea were huge ships.

As a result, not only the medicine was not found, but even the people and the boat were swept away, and they absconded directly with the public money and the boat.

If you find a Tie Jing, Fan Li, you will be equipped with a big wing, only 90 boatmen and soldiers, and you have to sell goods for the Yue Kingdom part-time.

For this kind of errand, why don't you ask the King of Yue to approve some funds, and come to our Tuqiu for a few days?
At least you came to investigate seriously, because Tuqiu really has iron ore.

What's more, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what happens, what if Tu Qiu really refines iron essence?
If you don't come, doesn't that mean that you have dereliction of duty?

After Zai Yu handed over to Fan Li the method of how to fish in a reasonable and legal way at work, his whole spirit and spirit obviously changed.

"What Zaizi said is very true, so let's see each other in a few months?"

Jae Yu smiled and asked, "Will it take so long?"

Fan Li smiled and said: "If it's only ten days, then it's too fake."

Zi Gong listened to their nonsense, and was not surprised by it.

No matter what kind of person, after staying with Jae Yu for a long time, they all have this tune.

Only he, Duanmuci, can get out of the mud without being stained.

Leaning on the railing, Zigong looked at both sides of the Zishui River, and suddenly saw the low city wall of Tuqiu appearing on the skyline in front of him, and then he saw a group of people dredging ditches along the river bank in front of him.

This was the order Zai Yu gave to Ran Qiu, Gao Chai and the others before he went to Qi, asking them to mobilize the people to repair and dredge the old canals during the winter slack.

When Zaiyu first came to office, the reason why he didn't dig the canal first was because the hearts of the people had not been gathered at that time, and the people's power could not be used yet.

But now, the [-] households in Tuqiu have stored enough grain, and they are constantly exchanging stone nirvana for ready-made grain from Tuqiu's warehouse.

At this time, if they are recruited to do things again, most of them will naturally not push back.

After Zaiyu took office as Tuqiu, why did the first livelihood project start with tidying up the canals? That is another matter.

Jae Yu silently recalled the books he had read in the library.

September, big yu.

—— "Spring and Autumn Zuo Zhuan Seven Years of Duke Ding"

Dayu is a rain-seeking ceremony stipulated in Zhou Rites. Usually, Dayu is only held in April to worship the emperor of heaven and the god of mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, and to pray for good weather.

And if the big yu's ceremony occurs in other months, it can only mean one thing, that there is a severe drought in this year.

Zaiyu recalled the content of "Zuo Zhuan" over and over again, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"This year is really a year of change!
There is a severe drought in the country of Lu, and the grain I have stored in the warehouse should be useful! "
