Lu Min was not stupid, so she had expected that this might happen, so she nodded calmly and agreed: "The Master of the Mansion is profound in knowledge, and I believe your friends are the same. You can ask him for advice and learn from each other, which is a blessing for Min."

Gong Shafu nodded with satisfaction and gave a wink to the little boy standing aside. The little boy responded and walked into the back hall. It took not long, and a sound of footsteps came from it. As Liu Xiu expected, the middle-aged man called Zhang Jun and the woman in green appeared in the hall, sat down on the mat the boy had taken, and greeted Lu Min and others politely, reporting his name: "Zhongshan Zhang Ming, whose name is Yuansheng, ask Lu Jun'an."

Lu Min retracted her respect and returned: "I have long admired her for a long time, and I have lost my respect."

Zhang Ming held his hands on his thighs, his waist was straightened, his eyes were bright, and he looked at Lu Min slightly, lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Lu Jun was walking in Ju Yang, Ming was overjoyed, without any ignorance. I have a few questions to ask Lu Jun, and I would like to ask Lu Min for help."

"I dare not, just talk to each other."

"I dare to ask Mr. Lu, Zigong said: 'Zi rarely talks about profit, fate and benevolence', how should I read it?"

Liu Xiu was stunned when he heard this. Looking at Liu Bei and the others, they were also a little stunned. He thought that the person recommended by Gong Shafu so solemnly was of course to discuss some profound knowledge. He never expected to ask a question in "The Analects of Confucius". Although "The Analects of Confucius" is also one of the Confucian classics, it is relatively simple after all, and is equivalent to an enlightenment book. Is it a bit too pediatric to discuss on this occasion?

Lu Min did not take it lightly and said calmly: "You should say, 'Your Matter is rarely about profit, and destiny and benevolence'."

Zhang Ming raised the corner of his mouth, "Why?"

When Liu Xiu heard Lu Min's answer, he immediately became concerned. Because no matter the few sentences "The Analects of Confucius" he read in his previous life or the bamboo slips brought by Liu Bei in this life, they were all decided that "Zi rarely talks about profit and destiny, and benevolence", which means that Confucius rarely talks about profit and destiny, but only talks about benevolence. This is easy to understand. A gentleman speaks about meaning and villains speaks about profit. Confucius is a gentleman among gentlemen, and of course he will not always talk about profit. As for fate, the most important point of Confucianism is to know that it is impossible and not say much about fate. Benevolence is an ideal that Confucius has always been committed to promoting and speaks the most. There are many people discussing benevolence in the Analects of Confucius.

However, Lu Min's pronunciation was different from what everyone thought. According to his words, Master often said his fate. As soon as he said this, not only Zhang Ming immediately asked why, but even Liu Xiu and others raised their ears. Liu Xiu often asked Lu Min for teaching and asking questions during this period, but that was all the knowledge in the Book of Documents. Who would ask such a simple question?

As it turns out, there are many things that seem simple, but you may not really understand.

"Yes, in the book "The Analects of Confucius", there are only six or seven places for saying good things and fate. Those who say good things are equal. It seems that the Master rarely talks about fate. Just as profit is rarely mentioned, it is actually a misunderstanding that he does not seek much understanding. The Master rarely talks about profit, so he values ​​righteousness over profit, but the Master does not often talk about fate, but it is not that he does not value the destiny of heaven, but that he thinks that the destiny of heaven is far-reaching and beyond what people can do. Therefore, Zigong said that the Master's words about nature and the way of heaven cannot be heard. It is not that the Master does not speak, but that the people hear it but do not understand it, which only adds confusion. The Master also said that knowing the destiny of heaven at fifty is difficult to know..."

Lu Min talked about the issue of destiny in heaven. The few people in the hall were better. More than a dozen people in the hall raised their ears, and even those who didn't read much did not dare to take it lightly. In fact, most Han people still believed in destiny. Since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu ascended the throne with a prophecy, "Liu Xiu should be the emperor", prophecies and divinations have become authentic Confucianism. Whether prophecies and divinations can be interpreted is also one of the standards for evaluating whether a person's knowledge is high, because prophecies and divinations represent destiny. Of course, because prophecies and divinations are ambiguous, people with different prophecies and divinations may have different explanations, including the prophecies and divinations that "Liu Xiu should be the emperor". At the beginning, it was not considered to be his, but the national teacher of the new dynasty at that time.

Emperor Guangwu won the world with prophecies and divination, of course, highly praised prophecies and divination, not only established them as an official school, but also undeniable. On this issue, Emperor Guangwu, who has always been known for his tolerance and generosity, was not so tolerant. In front of him, he said prophecies and divination were superstitious and might not lose his head, but he had no doubt about losing his official position. Huan Tan, who was passed down from Confucianism, almost gave his life because of opposing prophecies and divination. Although Liu Xiu spared his life, he still demoted him to Luoyang and finally made Huan Tan angry to death.

If the superiors have something to do, the subordinates will have much more. Deciphering prophecies and destiny and talking about destiny is a very popular major in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, when I heard Lu Min say that destiny was, no matter how much I understood, everyone was very interested. Although the destiny that Lu Min said was not exactly the same as the prophecies and divinations, they still listened with relish.

In Liu Xiu's opinion, this is really boring, but as long as you think of the 21st century when science is prosperous, there are so many astrology masters and computer fortune telling, you can understand that people these days believe in fate is not ridiculous. However, he felt that Zhang Ming and Lu Min, one of the eight disciples of Master Zhang of Taiping Dao, had a purpose that was probably not so simple, and this should be just an introduction.

As expected, Zhang Ming followed Lu Min's words and quickly led the question from believing in destiny to believing in or not to believe in the world. When he mentioned this issue, Lu Min, who did not deny the existence of destiny, denied it: he did not believe in the world with gods.

Zhang Ming smiled calmly and asked back: "Mr. Lu doesn't believe in the world. Is it because he has never seen a god or he is unwilling to admit that there are gods?"

Lu Min lowered her face and said word by word: "Zi Xiaoqian: Don't be determined, don't be firm, don't be firm, don't be me."

Zhang Ming nodded and said in admiration: "Lu Jun is indeed a gentleman. It seems that he doesn't believe in gods, but he just has never seen gods. Ming is not talented, knows a little about his skills, dares to show his ugly appearance, and wants to ask Lu Jun to take a look, how about it?"

Lu Min was silent for a long time without saying anything. The meaning of his words seemed to be saying that he was not a stubborn person, but in fact it was more of a satirizing Zhang Ming for not being whimsical. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ming actually asked to ask God to show him. He had heard of such things as asking God, whether in history books or in reality, such things were not uncommon. However, most of the people who played with these arts in the books ended up not having a good end. The most obvious example was the alchemists during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, whether Luan Da or Li Shaoweng, died miserably in the end.

Of course, Lu Min hoped to expose Zhang Ming's trick in person, but he was a little worried. Zhang Ming was obviously prepared. Can he really see through it? What if... I really invite a god, how can I end up? Should I believe it or not?

Lu Min was hesitating, and the others were excited. That day, he heard a long roar on the top of the mountain. I learned from Mao Zedong that the man was the immortal Taiping Taoist taught in Youzhou. These young people had long wanted to see the fairy face. Today, they were not satisfied when they saw Zhang Ming's true face, and they wanted to see the Taoist skills of the immortal with their own eyes, but they were worried that they would not dare to show their abilities easily. Now he himself proposed to show his skills, so how could he not see them?

"Sir, sir..." Zhang Fei frowned and poked Liu Xiu, signaling him to persuade Lu Min.

"Deran, Deran..." Li Cheng shouted in irresistible, his neck twisted almost broken.

Although Liu He didn't say anything, his eyes betrayed him. He obviously wanted to see it very much, but because of his face, he could not be as impatient as those kids.
