"You're still self-denying, aren't you?" Lege asked in surprise.

"Hmmm! Self-denial! Confucius looked at the music and nodded affirmatively.

"Can't you learn to be flexible?"

"Isn't that a workaround? I'm being flexible, huh? Confucius said with an innocent face.

"In this troubled world, you can only deny yourself, but you can't take revenge! Self-denial is your own business, a personal act. So! You can deny yourself, and others can't control you. Isn't it? And revenge! It's different! That's where power is needed. Without power, how can you reciprocate? ……”

Zilu interrupted, "What is revenge? ”

"Retribution is to restore the weekly rite and the weekly system!" Lege explained.

"Oh?" Zilu nodded as if he didn't understand.

"You don't have power, how can you restore the weekly rites and the weekly system? Da Zhou Tianzi doesn't have that ability, what can you do? Brother-in-law! It's not that I look down on you, it's a fact! Le Ge looked at Confucius with a serious face and said.

"Hehehe!" Confucius looked at the serious Lege and smiled, and then said, "It seems! You are also a Taoist. ”

"Yes!"

"You have been educated by Lao Tzu!"

"Yes!"

"You said I wouldn't be flexible, but I reversed it and said you wouldn't! Hehehe! Le Ge Taoist! Confucius looked at the music song and said with a smile.

Qi Guan's family, Wolf Sister, and Wei'er all stood to the side and looked at the three people present. It was the first time they had seen the scene of Confucius arguing with Lege, such a serious scene.

No! It should be the other way around! In the past, it was a music song that hung up on the children, and did not take Confucius's words seriously. And Confucius! It's serious.

Zilu is just a "scholar", in fact, he doesn't understand anything. He's just a foil, sitting on the side.

At this time, Zilu, at this age, only know some words, where do you know so much?

He's not? Concerned sir, just ran over?

Because Zilu was there, Yan Lu, Zeng Dian and others did not come. They don't want to be with Zilu, they don't want to be bullied by Zilu. Where there is a sub-road, only "sub-road is allowed to set fire, and no one else is allowed to light the lamp", and people are so good.

Although Zilu is less literate and has never entered a formal school, he is an adult after all, he has seen some of the world and understands some truths. So! He can still understand the dialogue between Confucius and Lege.

"Why can't I be flexible?" Lege said unconvinced: "Haven't I changed? What was I like before? What do I look like now? Hasn't it changed? ”

When Qi Guan's and Wolf Sister heard this, they all nodded in agreement. That's exactly what happened! This song is not the same song, this song is not the song of the year. More specifically! Since he came back from looking for relatives, it has been like a different person, completely changed.

Wei'er didn't know what Lege was like before, so! She didn't react. She watched everyone's reactions and couldn't take her eyes off it.

"You've changed! But I don't think you're going in the right direction! Confucius said.

"You? What do you mean? ”

"You just changed yourself, not the world! You? So! I don't think you really understand Lao Tzu's way! Confucius said, becoming serious.

"Me? You say me? I don't understand Lao Tzu's way? I? Le Ge was in a hurry, his voice was very loud, and he yelled at Confucius.

"You?" Confucius pointed to the music and said, "Don't get excited! We are 'talking,' not quarrelling! ”

"Who quarreled with you?"

"Go ahead! I haven't spoken to Lege in a long time! I want to have a good talk with him! On the way! Right! On the way! I'm going to talk to him! Confucius waved his arm at Qi Guan, Sister Wolf, Wei'er, and Zilu, who was sitting on the side, and said.

"You two don't want to quarrel?" Qi Guanshi said uneasily.

"What are we arguing about? We're not? After listening to Lao Tzu's teachings, there is a common language! We're not? On the Tao? Let's talk about it! ”

"On the Word, on the Word! Don't be so loud, lest outsiders think you're arguing! The wolf sister also said uneasily.

"Don't worry! What's the noise? I'm middle-aged now! Lege is also an adult! Where will there be a quarrel? I didn't quarrel when I was young and ignorant, did I? Go prepare a few dishes! I'm going to drink with everyone at night! Go ahead! ”

Confucius said to drink with everyone, and this everyone does not refer to others, but to those substitute teachers. That is, Zi Lu, Yan Lu, Zeng Dian, Ran Boniu and others.

Zilu was reluctant, but he got up and said goodbye and left. Furthermore! He still has a lesson and must go as well.

Qi Guan's family and Wolf Sister know the temper of Confucius and Lege, so! Very uneasy.

It's not good for the two to fight, but if they quarrel, it's not good to be loud after all. Under the persecution of Confucius, they had no choice but to leave.

Wei'er doesn't care, she is a bystander, and she knows that nothing will happen.

"I think you! I still don't understand Lao Tzu's way! As you can imagine! You quarreled with Lao Tzu! Isn't it? Otherwise? Why did you come back so quickly? Isn't it? ”

After Qi Guan's family, Wolf Sister, and Wei'er left, Lege began to talk again.

Confucius looked at the music and did not speak.

I thought you guessed it! Quarrel is not noisy! But I don't accept Lao Tzu! His set of Taoism, I Kong Qiu does not accept. I didn't bother to listen, so I left.

The Tao is different, not the same! I'm not on the same path as Lao Tzu! His set is a big truth, but it is not realistic! He himself admitted that everything still has to be based on reality. This is not? My thoughts and practices are based on reality, right?

"You didn't listen carefully to Lao Tzu's preaching, and you rejected Lao Tzu's Taoism. So! Under Lao Tzu's accusation, you don't accept it, so you leave! Isn't it? Le Ge looked directly at Confucius and asked.

"You?" Under the pressure of Lege, Confucius answered.

"You say that I don't understand Lao Tzu's way, I dare to say! It's not that you don't understand Lao Tzu's way, but you don't accept it. You obviously know that what Lao Tzu said makes sense, it's like that, but you deliberately reject it, but you can't refute it, so! You can't stay with Lao Tzu anymore before leaving. Isn't it? ”

Under the pressure of Le Ge, Confucius had to admit, "You are right again!" Yes! I understand Lao Tzu's teachings, but I don't accept them! I think! Lao Tzu's Taoism is too passive! Unrealistic. ”

"How unrealistic?"

"Lao Tzu himself said it! In the end, we have to return to reality and face reality. In that case, why don't we face reality directly. What if we don't refrain from self-denial? How is this society changing? ”

"You can change it by self-denial?"

"Yes!"

"Self-denial can only be bitter, and you will not be flexible! You? ”

"You have a virtue with Lao Tzu!" Confucius said angrily.

"You just say that I'm the same as Lao Tzu, I'm a wall of dung!"
