Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 99 Lushan On Dao

  Lushan, originally there were no people, only a few farmers and woodcutters lived at the foot of the mountain.

Because the ancestor of the Pang family, Mr. Pang De, was getting older, and the humidity in Yuliang Prefecture, where he originally lived, was too humid, which was not good for his health. Therefore, after obtaining the consent of Mr. Pang De, he forcibly opened a mountain road on the deer mountain and built a road. Feilongting and Yinlongju, so don't look at the Pang family as if there are not many people in the officialdom, but in fact the power lurking under the water is immeasurable.

  Fei Qian brought a pair of wild geese as a gift to Pang Degong in accordance with the etiquette of the gentry. It may be vague to meet others, but such a well-known person in the world cannot be careless.

   According to legend, when Confucius visited Lao Tzu, he used geese as a gift.

  The wild goose salute has three meanings:

  One of the geese is a migratory bird, flying south in autumn and returning north in spring. It comes and goes sometimes, and never loses its integrity, so it is often referred to as a person of faith;

  Secondly, the geese move in an orderly manner. When the geese migrate and fly, the geese form a line. The strong geese lead, while the young and weak follow behind and never overstep. Therefore, they are often referred to as people who keep rituals;

  The male and female of the three geese are mated to each other and have never been divorced or abandoned, so they are often referred to as loyal people.

  It is also rumored that Mr. Pang De preferred the learning of Huang Laozi, and he prepared the wild goose ceremony, which also meant to respect him and Lao Tzu.

  Pang Degong was still Fei Qian who met him at the Feilong Pavilion beside the waterfall.

  Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls nine days.

Although the waterfall in Lushan is not as majestic as in Li Bai's works, the location is chosen very well after all. On one side is the rushing waterfall, on the other side is a towering mountain peak, and the rock at the foot with a small pavilion is facing outwards. Extended, people stand on it, and when the mountain wind blows, there is a feeling that they can fly in the air.

  Mr. Pang De turned his back to Fei Qian, raised his head as if staring at the sky in a daze, and did not speak.

  As a junior, Fei Qian is naturally not good at talking, so he can only stand quietly by the side.

Maybe it's the water vapor rich in negative ions brought by the waterfall, or maybe it's the open and light mountain wind in the mountains. Feiqian's restless heart gradually calmed down at this moment. He didn't think about anything else, neither angry nor annoyed, but felt extremely comfortable , the body and mind were fully relaxed, and I was a little lost for a while...

   I don't know how long it took, and when Fei Qian came back to his senses, he found that Mr. Pang De had turned around and was looking at him with a smile on his face.

  Fei potential blessing to the soul, quickly bowed down, thank you.

Pang Degong nodded slightly, and after Fei Qian stepped forward to sit down, he said slowly: "Don't thank me, you are satisfied with yourself. When you went up the mountain, the wind and fire were too strong, so I intentionally treated you with peace and tranquility." , it’s not that I don’t know how to treat guests. You must know that the heart must be calm.”

   Fei Qian hurriedly bowed again.

Pang Degong waved his hand, telling Fei Qian not to be too polite, but said in a slow tone: "I once went on a boat with your master, talked about the past and the present, pondered the scriptures, and had a joyous gathering with singing and piano. I still remember it vividly when I think about it. How is your master now?"

  Fei Qian didn’t know how to answer, please answer, Cai Yong is still in a dangerous period now, if you can’t answer well, it’s not a big deal for the time being...

  Fei Qian thought about it for a while, and he still told the whole story about Cao Cao's robbery of the emperor, he persuaded Cai Yong to leave Beijing, etc., and then said: "Now the disciple is hesitating, and I don't know whether it is right or wrong..."

"It's human nature to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, there's no point in right or wrong." Pound's fair and gentle tone seemed to have a soothing force, and he said, "Just do your own way, your teacher has the way, so don't leave without authorization. "

  Yes, Master Cai Yong is using his actions to follow his own morality...

  Pang Degong smiled kindly, and said: "Your teacher once said in the letter that you are talented, intelligent, gentle and flexible, but you have not yet found your own way, so you are often at a loss."

   Fei Qian was shocked, old man Cai Yong Cai was so accurate, but why didn't he mention these things to me?

   "Your teacher said that the way is not your way, so you can't teach it. I recommend you here. I hope I can teach you the way. Ziyuan, do you know what it is?"

"This way..." Fei Qian really can't say it. I have said it all. The Tao can be said, very Tao. Maybe it should be said that it is a law or a rule when it comes to objects. "Tao", but the "Tao" in human behavior, how to explain and describe it?

  Mr. Pang De did not intend to ask Fei Qian to answer immediately, and immediately asked: "What is the way of heaven?"

  This, Fei Qian was clear about it, so he replied: "The way of heaven is to make up for what is lacking."

  Pang Degong nodded and said, "What is humanity?"

   "The way of man, the damage is not enough to give more."

   "Goodness. Why does the way of heaven make up enough and the way of humanity not damage enough?" Duke Pound asked further.

   "...Because heaven has no desires, but humans have desires?" Fei Qian thought for a while before answering.

  Pang Degong nodded with a smile, and said: "That's why following the sky, starting with emotion, and stopping desire, is the way."

  This is Pang Degong's explanation of the way of the human heart.

  Following the sky does not mean the weather and the sky, but the meaning of the weather. It is the greatest advantage of each person. It is to comply with the talent bestowed by God, not a random choice;

  Being emotional means that if you want to be interested in yourself, you have to accept it emotionally. Otherwise, no matter how good the morality is, you don’t want to do it, and you have no way to follow it;

  To stop at desire means to control one's private desires, not to be at the mercy of desires, and to have a whole range of restraints, so as not to spread endlessly and sink into obsession without knowing righteousness.

  The morality taught by Mr. Pound includes three aspects: the time of day, self-feeling, and cessation of desire. The weather is the bone, the self is the flesh, and the restraint of desire is the skin, which is a complete morality.

   Thank you Feiqian, but according to what Pang Degong said, it is possible to make a general framework now, but it is still very empty and not specific, and it cannot be regarded as finding its own "Tao".

   So Fei Qian asked Lord Pang De for advice on this issue again. Unexpectedly, Lord Pang De said: "The way of the heart is different, you need to find it yourself."

   Well, I still have to rely on myself.

But you can't just give up and leave. After all, what you just said is of great help to Fei Qian, at least let Fei Qian know how to construct his own morality, and he has a feeling that if he establishes his own Morality will be crucial to one's future life.

  The ancients often said that establishing a long-term will is the truth of non-long-term determination.

People who can find their own morality and go on unswervingly will achieve great achievements under normal circumstances, while those who change their ideals today and have new dreams tomorrow often find that they have nothing in the end. do it.

  At least in this area of ​​education, Fei Qian felt that later generations were not as good as the Han Dynasty.

Fei Qian felt that since he had this opportunity, he had to ask Lord Pound, an old man full of wisdom, to learn a lot. However, he was not qualified to live on this deer mountain, so he made the next best thing and begged Lord Pang to be able to live here. At the foot of the mountain, he "lived in a hut and asked for advice all the time", and Duke Pang De did not object to this.

  Since there is no objection, it is fine. Fei Qian then bid farewell to Pang De, returned to Xiangyang City, looked for skilled craftsmen, and began his career of "building a hut" in Lushan...

   The ancients often taught at an early age to seek their own way
