And when Confucius planned to go to Huqiu Mountain to see, many disciples wanted to accompany him, especially Zixia who had been with Confucius all the time.

A lot of things have happened recently, and the disciples who know Confucius as a man are a little worried about Confucius, the old man.

Confucius originally wanted to go alone, but after a little thought, in order not to worry the rest of his disciples, he asked his disciple Zixia to drive the carriage for him.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Confucius went down the mountain and walked up along the stream.

Surrounding Niqiu Mountain, there is a river named Yishui.

In the past, Confucius especially liked Chunri to bring his disciples to play by the river.

One time he asked his disciples about their aspirations, and one disciple Zeng Dian had a different idea from other disciples, thinking of playing in Yishui River with his friends in spring.

And Confucius liked this answer very much.

If the world is stable, he also hopes to live a life like this.

It was already autumn.

Many withered and yellow leaves fell on the water and began to drift with the current.

Confucius was old and energetic, and he went up and down slowly.

And in the downstream, they lead the horses and let the horses lower their heads to eat the green and yellow riverside grass.

The river bank is not flat, it meanders upwards, and occasionally you can see flat big stones, usually in that position, the scenery is very interesting.

When Confucius saw the boulder, he also climbed up to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

One dragon and one person met, and there was no appointment time, so they were not in a hurry at all.

Here,

It was already some distance away from when Confucius got off the car, at least Zixia couldn't see the situation clearly.

Fu Hai had already arranged a lot of puppets by the river, and saw Confucius coming.

When Confucius was resting on the boulder, he also went down the river to the place where Confucius was sitting on the boulder, and got out of the water.

Confucius looked at the dragon's head that suddenly drilled out in front of him, not surprised at all, and looked at Fu Hai.

Horns, eyes, faces, ears, whiskers...

The seemingly majestic body is somewhat similar to the dragon recorded in the book, but also somewhat different.

Fu Hai was also looking at Confucius.

Confucius was tall and tall.

As an aristocrat, he has been able to eat food since he was a child, and he can hunt and eat meat. It is normal for Kong Wu to be strong.

At this time, as a man in his 70s, he was a little thin.

There are not too many age spots on the face, but there are not any wrinkles.

Both were observing each other, and it was Fu Hai who spoke first, after all, he was the one who invited Confucius to meet.

"I came from the state of Chu, and I have already met Laozi, so I came here to meet Confucius."

"Actually, I met the unicorn last time on the road. It wanted to see you, so it sent to you. Since that day, I have been watching you, Confucius, and want to understand."

Fu Hai didn't hide anything, he said what he should say the moment he opened his mouth.

There are honest people who have no scheming and people who have nothing to hide.

The former is easy to be clichéd or even used by others.

The latter has clear ears and eyes, is open-minded, and is not afraid of any ghosts and monsters.

Fu Hai felt that he was in the second category, while his colleagues felt that Confucius was in the second category.

Two people need to communicate with each other, and he even wants to use the wisdom of Confucius, just speak directly, and it will waste time to beat around the bush.

"Thank you for your escort, Lord Long. If I remember correctly, Lord Long first appeared in Wu State, and then went to Yue State. It is also a kind of luck to meet Lord Long now."

"When it comes to guarding Lin, there are many troubles for Long Jun. As long as I can help Long Jun, Long Jun doesn't need to worry about it, just tell me directly."

"Also, I don't know what kind of person I am in Long Jun's heart?"

After Fu Hai spoke, Confucius also thanked Fu Hai for his editing.

When I heard that Fu Hai observed him, I also wondered what he looked like in Yilong's eyes.

"You are just an ordinary person."

In the face of Confucius' question about evaluation, Fu Hai directly expressed his thoughts,

"That's a good word!"

Confucius nodded after hearing the word "ordinary person".

He also considers himself an ordinary person.

Although I have taken in some disciples, I have been studying all my life, and I know a lot of things, but those things have not yet reached the level of being divorced from people.

Plus his own thoughts, is to be an ordinary person.

He never felt that what he did was so good, he just felt that the current society lacks these things, so he needed to do it.

It seems that his wish is to lead a group of people to play by the Yishui River after the country is stabilized.

"I don't know Confucius, do you think I'm a dragon?"

After Fu Hai answered Confucius' question, he also asked Confucius a question.

Both of them looked at each other for a while.

No matter what it is, you can learn something by looking at the characteristics.

When looking at people, some personal conditions will be reflected in their appearance.

It is not advisable to judge people by their appearance, but it is still a bit of reference value to know people by their demeanor and temperament.

It is also possible to spread this principle.

Among the folks, there are people who specialize in picking livestock, and they learn about the situation of the livestock based on some characteristics of the livestock.

"You're a dragon, but you're not."

After hesitating for a while, Confucius gave Fu Hai an answer.

"Where is the difference?"

Fu Hai was not annoyed by this answer, but rather curious.

His form is that of a dragon, that's fine.

Looking at the attributes of the system, it means that he is not born with enough powers, and his supernatural powers are not good enough.

There is obviously room for improvement, and there is nothing wrong with saying that it is not a dragon.

just,

Confucius thought he was not the part of the dragon, but Fu Hai really couldn't guess what it was.

"I haven't controlled the four universes, and I haven't done whatever I want."

Confucius looked at Fu Hai and said a nine-character evaluation.

This is also an instinct that Confucius acquired after controlling everyone's character and situation when teaching his disciples.

It only takes a little observation of the thing itself to get a glimpse of the root.

"good!"

Fu Hai still agrees with these nine words.

There are still too many things in his heart that he can't let go of, and he is far from the freedom of a dragon.

Taking Confucius as a mirror, after learning a little about his own situation, Fu Hai planned to have some deeper questions with Confucius.

Learn about Confucius' thoughts by discussing his life experience.

Chapter 191 Even if I am alone, I will go

Fu Hai's gaze fell from Confucius to a fallen leaf in the river.

On the surface of the water, the fallen leaves follow the water flow all the way down, unimpeded.

From the moment a leaf grows and falls, it seems to obey the trace of this fate.

"I don't know, whether following the crowd is following one's inclinations."

Using this fallen leaf as an introduction, Fu Hai asked a new question.

The subject of this question is to go with the flow.

It seems that everything is choosing its own path, but in fact it is all going with the flow.

A plant's seed, after falling on that piece of land, can only grow there.

Absorb the nutrients of the land, absorb the sunlight, this is drifting with the flow.

And butterflies and birds, it seems that after they grow up, they can fly freely in this world.

however,

They also drift to find food, mate in a fixed season, and die after a certain lifespan.

From spring to winter, although they are different butterflies and birds, in fact butterflies and birds are doing similar things.

As for people, it's not much better.

When I was young, I was influenced by my parents and neighbors.

After growing up a little, he was influenced by his wife and children, and even more influenced by the country.

Even in old age, various similar diseases will appear.

Every choice you make seems to have your own thoughts and consciousness, but how much is under your control, how much is influenced by the surroundings, and what can be changed by what you control?

No one knows this.

Fu Hai remembered his previous life, there was a sentence in the "Analects" he had memorized.

At five out of ten I am determined to learn, at thirty I stand upright, at forty I am not confused, at fifty I know the destiny, at sixty my ears are compliant, and at seventy I follow my heart and do not exceed the rules.

This is Confucius' summary of his life.

And now this sentence is also a sentence that Confucius himself said not long ago.

So this question is a collision between Fu Hai's understanding of the nature of the world that follows the tide and Confucius' own realm of following one's inclinations.

After Confucius heard this question, he was a little silent.

Actually the answer to this question is no.

Part of going with the flow is doing what you want, but part of going with the flow is certainly not doing what you want.

If you only answer part of the quasi-internal, department, hair, book/group: 9'8"0'2,0"58, 5:6, then there is no need to discuss this question.

On the surface, Fu Hai was asking about groups, but at this time he was asking about Confucius.

He said that he does as he pleases, whether this is following the crowd or not.

In other words, whether Confucius is following the crowd.

"no!"

After thinking for a while, Confucius picked up a yellow fallen leaf on the ground, twisted it in his hand and said.

"Life has obedience and disobedience."

"Water has top-down and upward transpiration."

"The leaves seem to be abandoned by the tree, disturbed by the wind, and can only slip away with the current."

"But Ye is not the same, it is their disobedience."

"The shape of the leaf is what you want, not following the tide."

Confucius picked up the leaf and threw it into the stream.

This leaf whirls down until it hits the water and flows down.

Fu Hai looked along the fallen leaf.
