Chapter 498,499 'Tao Te Ching' handed down from generation to generation
Li Er rode Qing Niu out of the Zhuang Palace, but Li Ran and Kong Qiu kept following him. Qing Niu walked leisurely, not very fast, but the two of them followed suit and were able to keep up.
Yi He appeared in front of everyone at this time. When Li Er saw him, he couldn't help but smile.
Yes, my daughter's heart disease has finally come to an end.
"Of course, you two don't need to follow me anymore! Yihe, you can stay here for now. My son seems to have come to see you for something special!"
Yi He Ju Shen said:
"promise!"
Li Ran was still reluctant to give up. He knew that his father in later generations had passed away many years ago, but the appearance of the "father" in front of him was exactly the same as that of his father in later generations. Therefore, he couldn't help but want to take one more look.
"Father, I don't know when we will see each other again. Please allow me to give you one more ride!"
Li Er then stopped trying to persuade him. Just when Chu Dang was feeling bored outside the palace gate, he saw Li Ran coming out, followed by an old man riding a green ox. He was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward to greet him.
.
Li Ran waved his hand towards him. Chu Dan slowed down, scratched his head, and couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, would you like to get in the car?"
"No, I want to send Father off first!"
When Chu Dang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"It turns out to be your father-in-law! It's Chu Dang who's blind! It's Chu Dang who's blind! I've seen the old gentleman! I, Chu Dang, kowtowed to the old gentleman!"
Chu Dang immediately fell to the ground.
Li Er couldn't help but smile when he saw Chu Tang being so frank:
"Haha, this guy is quite natural, he's really good."
Li Er did not stay much, but continued to move forward, while Chu Dang protected Li Ran.
A group of three people took Li Ershi to the gate of Luoyi City.
Walking to Luoshui, Confucius first looked at the red clouds after the rain in the distance, and then heard the sound of rushing water, the roar of the river, and the endless flow. He couldn't help but sigh and said:
"The passing away is like a man, never leaving day and night." (The running water is running away, never leaving day and night.)
When Li Er heard this, his long eyebrows moved involuntarily, and he joked:
"I hope it will be natural! The wind will never end, and the rain will never end. Who is this? Heaven and earth! So heaven and earth cannot last forever, how much worse is it for humans?"
What Li Er said is actually the same as what Confucius said just now.
The general idea is to lament that things in this world are ever-changing, and it is impossible to summarize them simply with a set of rules. There is no set of rules for doing things that is worth being paranoid about. Just like the wind and rain, it is sometimes sunny and sometimes dark, and sometimes it rains.
The winds of time, how can there be any normal law in this world?
When Confucius heard this, he understood its meaning and couldn't help but sigh again:
"What Qiu is worried about is that the great road cannot be maintained and benevolence and righteousness cannot exist. As a result, the world is constantly in war and the country is uneasy. Therefore, he laments that life is short. If you can't make any contribution to the world, won't your life be wasted?"
It seems that Confucius still wanted to persuade Li Er to stay, or at least not to ignore the chaos in the Central Plains.
Li Er still shook his head:
"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and regard all things as rotten dogs; saints are unkind, and regard the common people as rotten dogs. Between heaven and earth, it is like a tuo (yue)? It is empty but not straight (gu), and the more it moves, the more it comes out. Too many words
If the numbers are poor, it is better to stay in the middle."
(Translation: Heaven and earth have their own laws, and everything in the world will not be biased. Isn't there a big bag between heaven and earth? If you don't move it, it will not be chaotic. The more you move it, it will become more frequent.
Ups and downs. No matter how much I talk about this kind of thing, it’s useless, so let’s just stay in the middle.)
After hearing these words, Confucius and Li Ran couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Li Er pointed to Luo Shui in front of him again and said:
"I often say that 'the best is like water'. Water is good for all things without fighting. It is the virtue of humility when it is disliked by everyone! The weakest thing in the world is water, but a strong person may not be able to defeat it! This can be said to be an unspoken teaching, inaction.
Benefit!"
"The old man said that the Qiu Mao was suddenly opened. Everyone lives above, but the water is alone at the bottom; everyone lives in easy places, but the water alone is dangerous; everyone lives in a clean place, but the water alone is dirty. Wherever people live, who can argue with it?
Therefore it is the greatest good.”
Li Er narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Haha, the boy can be taught! Anyway, I have five thousand words, which are my life's insights. After reading it, you may be able to understand the doubts in your heart! Now, this book is stored in the collection room.
You can go and see it yourself.”
Confucius said in fear:
"I'm afraid Qiu deserves it..."
"I didn't want to keep it. After all, this move is against the nature of heaven. However, existence or non-existence has its own fate. Therefore, I did it arbitrarily and left these five thousand words as my last work. If it is used in future generations,
It is also a great good thing for others to peep into it."
Then, Li Er looked at Li Ran again:
"My son has indeed suffered in these years. However, everyone has his own ambitions, whether to join the world or to be born out of the world. This is what everyone wants. My son must also take care of himself, and don't waste his life in vain."
Li Ran bowed to the ground respectfully:
"The baby is here to send you off!"
Li Er then set off on the green ox and sang loudly:
"The sky is as clear as a round cover, the longitude and latitude of the land are like a chessboard; the people in the world are divided into black and white, honor and disgrace are competing for each other..."
In this way, Li Er floated away along the upstream direction of Luoshui, and Li Ran and Confucius kowtowed farewell behind him again.
Li Er's singing gradually faded away, and an old man riding a green bull, followed by a small child, gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Unknowingly, Li Ran's eyes became slightly misty.
…
The group returned to the city.
Li Ran also brought Confucius to his residence, but Yihe was already waiting at the door. Guan Cong had already told Yihe that Li Ran wanted him to take a look at the condition of his wife and the young master.
However, the festival is still on its way, so Yihe has no choice but to stay temporarily.
Li Ran asked Guan Cong to summarize the collections he brought out from Chu State as a supplement to the Zhou Dynasty collections.
As for Lu Houchou's matter, Li Ran also wanted to wait until Sun Wu came back before making any fuss.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Confucius took advantage of this leisure and often went to Changhong for advice on music temperament and music theory.
Changhong and Confucius also hit it off like old friends, and even led Confucius to watch the Zhou royal family's ceremony.
All this made Confucius sigh with admiration, and he also benefited a lot from it.
On this day, Confucius came back from Changhong and happened to meet his disciple Zhong You. He came here specially to report the news, so Confucius introduced him to Li Ran.
"Sir, this is one of Qiu's disciples from the State of Lu. His name is Zhong Yuan, also named Zi Lu. Shao Qiu is nine years old. He has an upright temperament and is fond of martial arts."
"Zi Lu, this is the famous Mr. Zi Ming!"
Zhong You was only in his early twenties, with a tall build and a heroic face. Li Ran once thought of the three thousand disciples of Confucius, who had ten philosophers and seventy-two sages, and this Zilu was one of the ten philosophers.
Li Ran supported Zhong You who was about to salute.
"No need to be polite, Zhongni, we may be leaving in the next two days, so you should pack up quickly!"
When Confucius heard this, his face was filled with joy.
"Then Marquis Lu can be saved!"
Confucius and Zhong You went to pack their bags. Zhong You asked:
"Has your honorable master met Mr. Li?"
Confucius nodded:
"Well, I see you!"
"But I don't know what Mr. Li looks like?"
"Hey... I know birds fly; I know fish swim; beasts, I know where they go. Those that walk can be caught with nets, those that swim can be caught with hooks, those that fly can be caught with arrows, and as for dragons, I don't know
Why? A dragon rides the wind and clouds up to the nine heavens! What I have seen of Laozi is that he is like a dragon. His knowledge is profound and unpredictable, his ambitions are high and difficult to understand; like a snake that bends and stretches at any time, like a dragon that changes at the right time..."
Li Er had a huge influence on Confucius' life.
I don’t know how Confucius will feel when he thinks back on today’s words when he is over seventy years old and leads his disciples to travel around the world.

Chapter 499_Yi He is helpless
Ji Le and his daughter Li Guang, escorted by Owl Wings, finally arrived in Luoyi. Sun Wu had already rushed back.
After Yi He took Ji Le and Guang'er's pulses, he saw his brows furrowed and he remained silent for a long time.
Li Ran winked, Ji Le picked up Guang'er and hid in the house for a while.
"Sir, their illness..."
"Young Master, generational connections are more likely to appear in the elderly. This is due to insufficient innate talent. If you want to cure it, there is really no way to cure it..."
Li Ran looked disappointed when he heard this.
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
"Perhaps it's like 'there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world'. Maybe if I meet a strange person in the future, it will be impossible to eradicate this disease. However, Huan Forgive me but I don't have this ability."
"However, I can prescribe a prescription first, which can temporarily protect the life of the young master. In the future, except for some dull pain from time to time, the young master will be no different from ordinary people most of the time, and there should be no worries about his life.
!”
"As for Madam's illness..."
Yihe hesitated for a moment, sighed and then shook his head:
"Hey... Madam, she has suffered a great loss of energy and blood, and is weak and weak. And because she has been depressed recently, her whole body's energy has been unfavorable. She needs to take good care of herself before she can be fine..."
When Li Ran heard this, he felt that Yi He seemed to have something to say that he had not fully explained, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Is it okay?"
Yihe Shen said:
"Hey... well, I can prescribe you some medicine. Please remember, Madam, that you must never work so hard and hurt your body like this again, otherwise it may be harmful to your health... The little master's medicine is one dose every three days, and Madam's medicine is
Two pairs a day, please don’t forget it!”
Li Ran felt something was wrong. Guang'er's condition was already quite serious. Why did he only need one pair every three days, but Jiile needed two pairs a day?
Yihe explained:
"The young master's illness is due to insufficient innate endowment. Although it is not easy to cure, it is a Shaoyang body after all, and it can be cured without healing. However, my wife's illness is an acquired disease. Without injections, it may be difficult to cure
beneficial."
When Li Ran heard this, he had no choice but to cup his hands and say:
"I wonder if there is anyone in this world who can cure Guang'er's disease?"
"This... I apologize for my lack of talent and knowledge, but I really don't know..."
Li Ran sighed secretly in his heart, it was said that Qin doctors were unique in the world, and Yi He was the leader among them.
Since doctors and doctors have said this, at least on the surface, it is probably difficult to meet such a miracle doctor.
It seems that Guang'er's illness will probably accompany him for the rest of his life.
However, since there is no danger of life for the time being, this is a place worth gratifying.
Yi He immediately wrote two prescriptions and handed them to Owl Yi. When he came out, he saw Fan Li holding Guang'er in his arms. Fan Li had been staying in Zheng Yi for a while since he escaped from Luoyi last time.
.
Ji Le was weak and could not take care of the baby, so Fan Li helped and took care of Guang'er for a while.
Guang'er has become very familiar with him, even closer than Li Ran.
When Ji Le saw Li Ran entering the house, he felt a bit reproachful:
"Last time, husband, you were in jail, but you made Owl Yi and the others hide it from Leer! What crime should you do?"
Li Ran could hear concern, dissatisfaction, and a bit of joking in Ji Le's words. Seeing Fan Li and Guang'er outside, playing with clay carts and dogs, he immediately took Ji Le's hand and entered the back room.
The two hugged each other, reluctant to separate for a long time, as if they wanted to rub each other into their bodies and never separate.
"Le'er, it's my husband's fault for making you worried and scared again."
Ji Le pressed tightly against Li Ran's chest, feeling his heartbeat.
"It's fine that your husband is fine...but if something happens in the future, we can no longer hide it from Le'er."
Later, Li Ran told all about his imprisonment, how he was rescued by Guan Cong, and his re-entry into Luoyi, where he was granted the title of "History of the Archives" and "Tai Shi".
After listening to Ji Le, he couldn't help but said:
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have advised you to help this prince in the first place..."
"Hey, who would have thought that he would be like this at that time? Besides, if it weren't for him, I might still not be able to see my father... By the way... there is news from Ah Chou too!"
Li Ran hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Ji Le this "good news".
When I heard the sacrificial music, I was really overjoyed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh? Where is Ah Chou now?"
"I am just living in Yunyi, but my life is not peaceful. However, I am no longer worried about my life. My husband plans to go to Yunyi in the next two days."
Ji Le looked up at Li Ran:
"Le'er is going too!"
"Just now, the doctor said that you are not in good health and need to be nursed back to health. You should not be tired of traveling and traveling. It is better for Le'er to stay in Luoyi and take care of Guang'er first! My husband will think about Ah Chou's matter later.
Find a way to deal with it!"
Ji Le asked:
"By the way, what did Yihe say about Guang'er's heart disease?"
"Her disease... is difficult to cure because of her insufficient innate endowment. She needs a dose of medicine every three days and takes it for a long time to stabilize the condition. With careful care, she will be fine!"
When Ji Le heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said in a muffled voice:
"This can be considered an unfortunate blessing. By the way, if you can, husband, please leave Guang'er in the care of your young uncle for the time being. He is as considerate as silk and a pure and kind person, so he should be able to take care of Guang'er!"
Li Ran knew that Ji Le said this because he wanted to follow him to see Lu Houchou.
Li Ran had great trust in Fan Li. However, if Ji Le was allowed to follow him, if she saw Lu Houchou and found that he was in such embarrassment, her state of mind would inevitably be affected.
Sometimes, I'm afraid it will be harmful to her body.
Moreover, Li Ran definitely didn't go there just to have a look. He wanted to find a way to send him back to the state of Lu. Although he thought that his father Li Er's words were reasonable, he still worried about Lu Houchou's case.
It is impossible not to go.
Deep down in Li Ran's heart, he always felt guilty towards Lu Hou Chou.
After all, it was he who made Lu Houchou embark on this path of kingship.
Ji Le hesitated for a moment, but suddenly fell to his knees on the ground. Li Ran saw this and immediately helped him up in a hurry:
"Le'er! You...what are you doing?"
At this moment, Ji Le's eyes showed a hint of hatred.
"The catastrophe that befell the Ji clan, the deaths of Leer's father and brother, the deaths of his uncles and Aruo (Uncle Sun Bao and Uncle Sun Ruo), all of these are thanks to Ji Sun Yiru and Shu Niu!
Now Achou is the king of a country, but he is alone, and he is forcing him like a lost dog! If this revenge is not avenged, how can Leer feel at ease?"
When Li Ran heard this, he hugged Ji Le with great distress.
"This is what my husband should do. There is no need for Leer to be like this... Leer, let your husband handle this matter!"
"But...but Le'er wants to see Ah Chou!"
Li Ran knew that Ji Le and Lu Houchou had a deep love for each other as siblings. Lu Houchou was now in a state of decline and Ji Le would not feel at ease if he did not see Ji Le again.
"But...your body..."
"Now I can walk as before, and I don't feel that bad. What's more, I just sat on the carriage. When I got to Yunyi, I took a look at Achou. What could happen?"
But Li Ran was still worried after all, so he went to ask Yihe, but Yihe hesitated again and said:
"Ordinarily, Madam has arrived from Zheng Yi to Luoyi, so she should take a good rest for a while..."
"I must go on this trip! Ah Ruo has gone (uncle Sun Ruo), and Ah Chou is Leer's only blood relative in the world..."
Hearing this, Yihe couldn't help but sigh:
"If Madam insists, then I will also follow Madam, so that I can take care of you."
When Ji Le heard this, he couldn't help but said with great joy:
"really?……"
She was so excited that she couldn't help coughing, and Li Ran hurriedly went to rub her back.
The two held hands and came to Fan Li and Guang'er. When Guang'er saw his parents, he immediately put down the toys in his hands.
"Dad, mother! Come and see!"
Guang'er was four years old, and when she was about to give it a try, she jumped in front of Li Ran. Li Ran stretched out his arms to hug her and kissed her on her pink face.
"What are Guang'er playing?"
And Guang'er also became more and more cute and beautiful. Just as it was said in Jiyue's letter, she has a beautiful heart and a hundred talents.
