Chapter 164 Confucius Dreams of Duke Zhou

When leaving Daxiang Mountain, Sucheng looked back at the land last.

After all, this is the land I have lived in before. If people don’t have relatives, they just don’t know if the land here still looks like this when I go back and come back again.

The application of the soul of Shangqing, Sucheng disappeared suddenly. From Daxiangshan to Luoyi, it was originally necessary to take Sucheng for a period of time, but now it takes only half an hour to fly in response.

When he arrived in Luoyi City, Su Cheng went straight to the Shouzang Mansion. He first went to meet Taishang Laojun, and then talked about the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit. Then he divided the spirit into three parts, Shangqing, Yuqing, and Taiqing Yuanshen were in their positions. Taiqing Yuanshen continued to practice the inner alchemy technique. Yuqing Yuanshen then read the Taoist Zang in the Shouzang Mansion and followed Taishen Laojun to listen to the scriptures. As for Shangqing Yuanshen, he still stayed next to Taiqing Yuanshen.

Everything returned to Sucheng's original pace.

"Senior Brother Su."

A man in a Taoist robe found Su Cheng, respectfully bowed to Su Cheng, then placed the Taoist scriptures in his hand in front of Su Cheng, and said, "Senior brother, this passage of scriptures is very different from the magic I practiced. If I talk about the subtleties of this, I think the method I practice is more mysterious than the records in the scriptures, but many things recorded in the book are not in my method."

Su Cheng sat upright, listened to the person's words, analyzed based on what he knew, and then said: "The scriptures are the paths. The books record all the passages, and the origin of the passages is made by people themselves, but it is like people walking on a mountain road, some places are blocked and some places have paths. The records in the scriptures are just a smooth road that has already been walked out. If you follow your own path, only you know what the path will be ahead, but once you walk out this road, you will be the first person on this path."

Su Cheng just briefly said what the road was, and it would be left to this junior brother to explore it himself.

The Taoist bowed his hand and was about to retreat.

“By the way.”

Su Cheng looked at this person and said, "I heard that you have recently given up your name and taken the Taoist name?"

After listening to the Taoist's own sutras and treatises just now, Su Cheng felt that there were many advantages in it and realized that the Taoist's achievements in front of him would be extraordinary, so he paid more attention.

"yes."

The Taoist said: "My junior is shallow in nature and lacks fire in his destiny, so he named himself the Fire Dragon True Man. One is to replenish his body of fire, and the other is to hope that he is like a dragon."

"The Fire Dragon Real Person."

Su Cheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Good name."

The Fire Dragon True Man bowed to Su Cheng and left.

Fire Dragon Real Person...

Su Cheng looked at the man's back and thought to himself that when Lu Dongbin was forty, he met a man named Fire Dragon who taught swordsmanship. He only started practicing alchemy at the age of sixty-four, and then became one of the most famous Eight Immortals in the world.

In later generations, the name Fire Dragon True Man was really shining.

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and focused on the scriptures. In such a good learning environment under the Emperor Taishang Laojun, Su Cheng naturally had to hurry up. After all, after a hundred years, Lao Tzu went out of Hangu and turned Hu into Buddha. After that, he would probably not have such careful teaching.

"Junior Brother Su."

The great master Xuandu suddenly came here, arrived in front of Sucheng, knocked on the desk, and said, "Confucius wants to see you."

Confucius?

Su Cheng stood up and asked in confusion: "Confucius hasn't left yet?"

Master Xuandu shook his head and smiled, "He has been reading ancient books for a while and has written a lot of things. After reading his articles, he should be said to be a sage, and his thoughts are different from those of ordinary people."

Su Cheng shook his head, said goodbye to Master Xuandu, and walked towards where Confucius was.

Confucius was lying on the article in the room. When he saw Su Cheng coming, he quickly stood up and greeted Su Cheng with a smile. The two bowed each other and then sat down separately.

"I heard that you have been editing books all the time?"

Su Cheng looked at Confucius and asked.

Confucius smiled, got up, handed the book on the desk to Su Cheng, and said, "This is all I have done during this period."

Su Cheng took Confucius' article with both hands and read it casually.

The first spring of the first year, the first month of the king, March...

Su Cheng read all the scriptures briefly. Now Confucius has not written many words in total, but in general, it is not much different from the codebook he wrote in later generations.

Just like the first year of the first year, the first month of the spring of the king, although there are only six words, Confucius did not write such words as "The King ascends the throne", indicating that this is a regent.

This is the meaning of the subtle words. Through a work of Spring and Autumn, you can know Confucius' original intention, and it is this work of Spring and Autumn that has become a model for later generations.

"How about it?"

Confucius looked at Su Cheng and asked with a smile.

Obviously, what he wrote now is a text that he is very satisfied with.

"I still think it's better to write about Regent directly."

Su Cheng put down the book in his hand, looked at Confucius, and said, "I know you want to write a different scripture. Through the admiration of Zhou Dynasty culture, this chaotic world has a unified standard of conduct. Therefore, although you are practicing history, it is reflecting the present."

All history is contemporary history, and many things that seem very distant, but if you look through history and combine it with the current situation, you can feel that history is surprisingly similar.

Confucius is doing this work now.

But when Su Cheng read these articles, he still thanked him for not writing a password book.

"I know that I blame me for my sins, but only in the Spring and Autumn Period."

When Confucius heard Su Cheng's words, he shook his head. He had already made up his mind and must go on this road.

"I ask Mr. Xuandu to invite you here today, but there is actually one thing."

Confucius put down the article in his hand, looked at Su Cheng, and said, "Last night, I dreamed of Duke Zhou. Duke Zhou asked me something, and said that you will definitely be able to do it in Luoyi, so I begged you."

Duke Zhou.

Hearing this name made Su Cheng think of the Jiuzhou Ding, and then Su Cheng looked at Confucius and remembered some words from the Analects of Confucius.

It’s so great that I’m declining! I’ve never dreamed of Duke Zhou again after a long time.

This sentence was said by Confucius when he was old.

Duke Zhou was actually the founder of Confucian culture. Confucius spent his whole life working to revive Zhou rituals, and the one he admired was Duke Zhou. The two thoughts were consistent.

However, at this moment, when I heard Confucius say that he dreamed of Duke Zhou, Su Cheng also knew that Confucius' dream of Duke Zhou was not a false statement.

"You talk first."

Su Cheng looked at Confucius and smiled.

"Duke Zhou said that he buried something in Luoyi, only you know..."

Confucius conveyed his dream words to Sucheng.
