Chapter 269 Confucius’ true ability

In fact, Ye Zhen didn't have any good ideas.

After hearing Zigong's question, Ye Zhen was silent for a moment.

According to the original historical records.

In the end, it was Zigong who went to Chu to send troops and rescued Confucius and others.

Confucius was besieged here for seven days in total.

During these seven days there was no water or food.

Confucius and the others had to go hunting in the wild and collect wild fruits and vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

But there are so many people here like Confucius and others.

Every day people chew and eat horses, which consumes a lot of money.

However, according to Ye Zhen's understanding, Confucius could safely travel around the world.

It's not just his sharp tongue that he relies on.

What is more important is Confucius and the disciples around him.

It is said that there are three thousand disciples who can ride and shoot, such a force and influence.

You should listen to Confucius’ teachings wherever you go.

"Does it mean that Confucius doesn't have such an awareness now?" Ye Zhen couldn't help but think.

Zigong looked at Ye Zhen without answering, "Qin Lao, I know you have good intentions and want to come and save the teacher."

"But you are being foolhardy."

Zigong saw that Ye Zhen and Zi Lu were so familiar with each other, and they were arm in arm.

Naturally, Ye Zhen was regarded as a savage like Zi Lu.

Zilu became unhappy after hearing Zigong's words, "You are a man. Others have come here to sacrifice their lives to save you. How can you still say that others are brave and foolish?"

Confucius waved to Ye Zhen, "Qin Lao, come here, I have something to tell you."

Ye Zhen pointed to himself, "Me?"

Confucius nodded.

Confucius took Ye Zhen to an open space, which was far away from the other disciples.

Chatting here, other disciples will not know.

"Qin Lao." Confucius said directly: "I actually saw how extraordinary you were back then."

"But not long after you became a disciple, you left without saying goodbye."

"We didn't meet again until now."

"Can you see the intention of becoming a teacher?" Confucius touched his beard.

Ye Zhen said softly: "Chen and Cai have besieged us for four days."

"But I heard from those junior fellow students that during these four days, teacher, you are still teaching and playing the piano."

"As usual, I didn't pay any attention to this predicament."

"Teacher, are you pretending to be calm?"

Ye Zhen also remembered the records in history.

Confucius was besieged by Chen and Cai for seven days.

But Confucius could still sing happily, which was simply too abnormal.

"Historical Records: The Family of Confucius" records this matter. Confucius was poor between Chen and Cai, and he did not eat fire for seven days.

Holding the tree on the left, hitting the branches on the right, and singing Yan's style.

It has its tools but not its number, its voice but not its horns.

The sound of wood and the sound of people, the plow certainly has something to do with the human heart.

They had been deprived of water, food, and besieged, but Confucius still had the mood and strength to sing here.

Confucius's state of mind was worthy of that of a saint.

There was a look of satisfaction in Confucius's eyes, "Sure enough, Qin Lao, you can tell."

"Actually, if I charge hard, I can use my own strength to break out of the siege between Chen and Cai."

Confucius' tone was very understatement.

But to Ye Zhen's ears, it was extremely shocking.

Although the two countries of Chen and Cai are just countries of great officials, they are just small countries.

But after all, they are two countries!

Armies of two countries.

Confucius actually said that he could rush out with strength?

Why doesn't this surprise Ye Zhen?

Confucius sighed, "But if this is the case, the world's view of me will be different."

"They would say that I rely on brute force to solve problems, and that I am a martial artist."

Ye Zhen couldn't help but smile when he heard Confucius' words.

Confucius' physical fitness and his martial arts were enough to make him a martial saint.

If Confucius concentrated on developing martial arts, his future achievements would definitely not be inferior to his achievements in Confucianism.

This is what Confucius has been pursuing all his life.

It is to let history remember it as a scholar.

And not because of his strength.

But in Ye Zhen's view, Confucius was very successful.

Because future scholars have almost forgotten that Confucius was actually a man of great strength.

In fact, it can be seen in the clues in some ancient books.

Confucius was actually a person with extremely high martial arts value.

But no matter how powerful Confucius was, he couldn't resist the armies of two countries.

Confucius smiled and looked at Ye Zhen's face with shock and confusion.

"Are you curious how Master did it?"

Ye Zhen did not deny it and nodded directly, "Those are the armies of two countries."

"Teacher, how did you do it? I can't understand it."

At this moment, Confucius exuded a pure power, and the pale white power surrounded Confucius.

"This is my disciple's belief and persistence in my Confucianism and Taoism."

“They keep my rules and do my ways.”

Ye Zhen looked at the pale white light on Confucius' body.

"Is this the spiritual power of students?"

"Spiritual power gathered in the body and turned into the power of faith?" Ye Zhen actually saw the power of faith in Confucius.

"The power of faith?" This was the first time Confucius heard this term. "This is everyone's trust in me."

Ye Zhen looked at the light on Confucius, which was the glow of the human body.

Only when it reaches the extreme can ordinary people see it with the naked eye.

Today's Confucius is undoubtedly the same as those so-called Buddhas, with a halo on his head.

Ye Zhen also understood why Confucius could compete with the armies of these two countries.

Confucius' ability alone today is unfathomable.    As Confucius accepted more disciples, the more faith Confucius could gain.

Confucius' strength will become stronger.

This is similar to the current religious system in the West.

Unexpectedly, Confucius had already mastered it during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Confucius, who had three thousand disciples, also had seventy-two sages and ten philosophers.

Such beliefs converged on Confucius.

How could it not be powerful?
  Could it be said that this is Confucius’ real superpower?
  Turn other people's beliefs into your own strength.

Confucius was born with supernatural power and physical fitness that could crush ordinary people.

Even after being hungry for seven days, he could still sing loudly, not to mention Confucius' achievements in Confucianism and Taoism.

Now Confucius is also so talented in supernatural powers.

With such a talent, if Confucius had more students, he would be comparable to the gods!

Just like some of the gods worshiped by our Chinese people.

In fact, they are just ordinary people in history.

Just like Guan Yu, because he has been believed and worshiped by the people all year round.

Guan Yu enjoyed the power of these incense. To put it bluntly, it was the same thing as the power of faith.

In fact, they all originate from human spiritual power.

The power of incense and the power of faith are actually the same thing.

"I understand, teacher." Ye Zhen knew why Confucius had such confidence.

Because Confucius had the power of faith among the people, he was enough to break the situation with his strength.

But this was the last resort and the last thing Confucius wanted to do.

At the same time, this is also a test and a good teaching process for other students.

Confucius dispersed the power of faith in himself and said, "Qin Lao, you are indeed different."

"What have you experienced in the past few years?"

Ye Zhen replied: "After I left, I wandered around and became a hermit."

Confucius nodded and looked at Ye Zhen with an expression of appreciation.

Obviously Confucius knew what a hermit was like.

This can also explain very well why Ye Zhen appears here.

"It is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books."

"In the past few years, I have traveled around and seen different customs and customs."

Ye Zhen's casual words made Confucius' eyes shine.

"It is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books."

"Okay! Good! Good!" Confucius couldn't help but clapped his hands when he heard Ye Zhen's words.

Ye Zhen is a modern person, and these famous quotes are readily available to Ye Zhen.

But for Confucius in this era.

The Spring and Autumn Period was still an era of contention among a hundred schools of thought.

So of course Confucius had never heard of what Dong Qichang said in the Ming Dynasty.

"What I'm doing now is exactly what you said, Qin Lao."

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles." Confucius carefully considered Ye Zhen's short sentence.

Ye Zhen didn't expect that Confucius would be so fascinated.

"You are different from the rest of my disciples, Qin Lao."

"I'm afraid you are second only to Yan Hui, no, you may be even more amazing than Yan Hui." Confucius praised Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

How could Confucius be unhappy with such a student?
  After Confucius and Ye Zhen finished communicating, they came out of the woods.

In fact, this kind of master-disciple exchange happens very often.

"Teacher." Zigong bowed to Confucius and said, "Disciple, I have thought about it. The only solution now is for me to go to Chu State and persuade the king of Chu State to send troops to rescue us."

Confucius listened to Zigong's suggestion with great satisfaction, "Just do whatever you want to do."

Zigong lowered his head and said, "Teacher, please be patient for a few more days. I will definitely persuade Chu to send troops."

Zigong flicked his sleeves and left here immediately.

This is the effect Confucius wanted to achieve.

Let's see what choice his disciple will make in such a desperate situation and dilemma.

What kind of potential will it unleash?

"Senior Brother Yan Hui is back!"

"Is Senior Brother back?"

"Eldest brother, have you found the food?"

Yan Hui, the future leader of the Ten Philosophers, was also Confucius' favorite disciple in his life.

He was also the most satisfied disciple of Confucius.

If we want to say which student Confucius praised the most, it must be Yan Hui.

Moreover, Yan Hui was the only one among all Confucius' students who could be canonized.

He was called Fusheng by everyone in the future.

The other one was Zengzi, who was also one of the Ten Philosophers.

Zengzi was called the Zongsheng.

So Confucius taught two saints.

Yan Hui came back with a bag of grain on his back, "Teacher, I borrowed the grain."

Yan Hui was actually able to beg for a large bag of grain from elsewhere in this desperate situation.

This is undoubtedly a miraculous ability.

Confucius nodded with satisfaction, "Go and cook the grain and share it with everyone."

Yan responded loudly: "Yes, teacher."

Zilu and Yan went back to cook rice.

Yan Hui finally brought back one stone of rice.

One stone is equivalent to 120 kilograms today.

It seems like a lot of people, but there are so many people who can't stand Confucius and his students.

This stone rice won't last long.

But with one stone of rice, the current urgent need is solved.

As senior brothers, Yan Hui and Zi Lu naturally shoulder the responsibility of cooking.

Zi Lu lit a fire to cook, and Yan Hui watched the heat.

"Elder brother, just watch the fire here." Zilu stood up, "I'll get some more firewood."

"You go ahead." Yan Hui replied.
