Huangfu Song said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, you won't let us just stand here!"
Zheng Xuan waved his sleeves and said: "I was the one who was rude, please come in, two dear friends!"
Zhu Jun turned around and said to Mao Jie: "Xiao Xian! We are old friends who haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. We have some complaints. I hope you will stay here for a while!"
Mao Jie is a Confucian scholar. He has admired the names of three Confucian sages for many years. During this period, he has benefited a lot from following Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in discussing Taoism. In front of these sages, he is just a primary school student and quickly bows down. should be.
Zhu Jun and the others entered the Bamboo House and sat down separately as host and guest. Zheng Xuan personally made tea for the two of them and said, "I personally planted and roasted this tea. Please taste it, two dear friends!"
Huangfu Song took a sip of tea and praised: "It's really good tea!"
But Zhu Jun did not move, but said calmly: "The sage has the cloud, the Confucian scholar cultivates himself, the Confucian scholar manages the family, the great Confucian governs the country, the sage brings peace to the world! Brother Zheng's self-cultivation here is just a boy's behavior. Without the teachings of the sage, Confucianism Responsibility! How can you live up to that awe-inspiring righteousness!" The Confucian way emphasizes actively participating in the world and taking responsibility for the people. At the same time, it can be heard from Zhu Jun's words that Zheng Xuan also understood Haoran's righteousness! The dream state for Confucian scholars to cultivate Taoism is Haoran Zhengqi, because Haoran Zhengqi can mobilize the people's power to control the dragon's veins, and has the power to destroy immortals and gods. Even if the clone of the old immortal Nanhua was chopped off by Zhu Jun that day, he could only hold his nose. He accepted it, but did not dare to trouble Zhu Jun, because as long as he was in the land of China, Zhu Jun's awe-inspiring and upright spirit would not be violated by ghosts and gods. The three Confucian sages of the time, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, became Confucian and Taoist leaders because of their awe-inspiring righteousness. Unexpectedly, Zheng Xuan also cultivated awe-inspiring righteousness!
Zheng Xuan naturally knew Zhu Jun's temperament. A gentleman is magnanimous and says whatever he has to say. He sipped his tea and said with a bitter smile: "A Confucian and Taoist scholar who has retired to hermitage must have lost his soul! But now the Lord is ignorant, and it is difficult for the saints to listen to his loyal words." , the court is filthy, relatives, officials, and clan cliques are fighting, and in the countryside, powerful noble families are annexing the land, and the people are living in dire straits. This world is really a world where the sky is not responding to the situation, and the earth is not functioning properly. Nowadays, all the schools of thought want to When the fairy world is restarted, the era of great strife is about to come, and it will definitely be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. I have only empty ambitions, but my role is no different from that of a boy! Instead of joining the same trend, it is better to be a chaotic boy here! " Zheng Xuan explained the world situation in one sentence. Although he was self-deprecating every word, he was the conscience of the great man.
Huangfu Song also put away his smile and felt dejected: "Brother Zheng is so noble! But I, although I have the title of Confucian saint, in the court, I have to succumb to the despotic power of my relatives and officials. I am waiting for you." The essence of a Confucian is to serve the people and be loyal to the emperor. However, the current Confucian scholars in the court, such as the Yuan family, have been Confucian leaders for four generations. However, although the descendants of the Yuan family now bear the name of Confucianism, they are all scheming and seeking personal gain for the family. , I’m afraid there are no real Confucians in the court anymore! In today’s Confucian society, the gentry disciples who represent Confucianism are chasing fame and fortune all day long, sensual, drunken and dreamy, and make some obscene words and flirtations all day long. Is this the way of the world? Can there be no chaos!"
"Women's words!" Zhu Jun slammed the table angrily. A weak scholar actually smashed the bamboo table and chairs into pieces. Tea spilled on the floor. Zhu Jun was so angry that his hair stood up straight. He looked like a majestic man. Lion, Huangfu Song and Zheng Xuan actually trembled under Zhu Jun's anger!
Zhu Jun said with blood and tears in his eyes: "You are worthy of the heaven and the earth! You must also be worthy of yourself! The world is about to be in chaos, and all living beings are about to suffer catastrophe. Confucian scholars like us should shoulder the well-being of all people, even if we are shattered to pieces and cut into pieces by a thousand swords. What should I be afraid of! I, Zhu Jun! Now I have become a butcher! A devil! I have killed tens of millions of people with my own hands! Why don’t I just be a respected saint? What am I doing! Ning Jiao I have betrayed the people of the world, so don’t teach the people of the world to betray me! So what if I, Zhu Jun, have been in disgrace for thousands of years! I can live up to my original intention! Because I, Zhu Jun, no matter whether it is thirty years ago or thirty years later, I am still my Zhu Jun. Juan!"
Huangfu Song and Zheng Xuan lowered their heads and did not dare to look into Zhu Jun's eyes. Huangfu Song drifted with the waves in this troubled world, claiming to be untainted despite the mud! Zheng Xuan, on the other hand, retreated into seclusion in the mountains and forests, pursuing a life of solitude! Gradually, with the hardships, they have long abandoned the responsibility of Confucian scholars to dare to be the first in the world! And this is the soul of a Confucian. What is the awe-inspiring spirit of Confucianism? It is this kind of heroic spirit of daring to be the first in the world!
The air became solid. Zheng Xuan left his seat and knelt down to Zhu Jun, kowtowing in the disciple's manner: "The sage said: 'When three people walk together, there must be one who is my teacher'! Today Zheng Xuan received a lesson! Brother Zhu made three words on the tenth day, when You deserve a holy word!"
Zhu Jun quickly helped Zheng Xuan up and said: "Zhu is ashamed! I just poured out the anger in my heart to two old friends! I just want to say that no matter how dim it sounds, how dim the court, or how barbaric the field is, We Confucian scholars are still Confucian scholars. We cannot abandon our original intention of daring to be the first in the world. If we all shrink from this, the world will really be hopeless! This is the backbone of Confucianism and Taoism, and we Confucian scholars need to stand up straight. ! The Confucianism that lowers the head is not Confucianism, it is the way of cowards! The Confucianism that bends down is not Confucianism, it is the way of servants!" Zhu Jun's words exploded in the minds of the two people like thunder, and a monument of words shook. Standing in the bamboo house breaking through the void. Only when a master trains his disciples can he make a speech, but Zhu Jun actually set up a speech monument in front of the two great Confucianists, indicating that they have surrendered to him and become his disciples. Confucianism emphasizes that the master is a teacher!
Zheng Xuan bowed to Zhu Juan and said: "Sir, you are here! It's not just to reminisce about the past!" The elegance and sadness in Zheng Xuan's eyes were swept away, and his whole body was as straight as a backbone standing between heaven and earth.
Zhu Jun stepped forward and whispered in Zheng Xuan's ear for a while. Zheng Xuan fell into silence and thought for a long time: "Sir, do you really value this person so much?"
Zhu Jun nodded and said: "I have been studying this man for a long time. This man will be the pillar of China in the future. I hope that the spirit of Confucianism and Taoism will become his soul!"
Zheng Xuan took a deep breath and said: "That's good! But seeing is believing, I want to consider him!"
Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song stood up and clasped their fists and said, "The fighting ahead is tense. We can't stay too long. We'll take our leave now!"
Zheng Xuan raised his hand and said: "Wait! Mr. Zhu, can you give me this monument of your words? This sentence will be Zheng's motto from now on!" Zhu Juan nodded and took out a sword from his sleeve. It is the Five Elements Sword, a Taoist artifact. Zhu Jun handed the sword to Zheng Xuandao: "I took this from Nanhua. This thing is the Taoist spiritual weapon that created the world. Find an opportunity to give this sword to him for me. I Although I don’t have the title of master and disciple with him, he still listens to my teachings and is considered half of my disciple. I don’t ask him to understand me, but at least I can untie the knot in his heart!" Leaving a monument of words and the Five Elements After the sword, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song came out hand in hand.
Zheng Xuan looked at the tea on the floor and murmured: "Is this person really the savior of troubled times? Is he the wise king who assists me? It's really exciting!" At the end of the sentence, Zheng Xuan's eyes flashed with light.
