Later, Confucius experienced the five emperors' destiny and witnessed the development, growth and rise of the human race.
Originally, all this was normal. With the support of Yang Tuo's magic power, Confucius traveled across the ocean in the long river of history.
It wasn't until the Conferred Gods War that something changed.
Confucius has always witnessed history from the perspective of a bystander.
However, during the Battle of the Gods, he turned into Jiang Ziya, the Prime Minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty, although he was still speechless and unable to move.
But he changed from a bystander to a witness. Confucius still didn't understand the reason, but Yang Tuo had already discovered the clues.
He stared at Jiang Ziya in the scroll carefully, and kept calculating Ziwei Dou in his hand.
After a long time, although he still couldn't figure out anything, he already understood some things.
Yang Tuo murmured to himself, "Brother Dao, it's so hard for me to find you! No wonder I haven't heard from you for hundreds of years. But I didn't expect that Sage Yuqing has prepared such a path for you!"
At this moment, Yang Tuo already understood something.
Jiang Ziya was the one who was destined for disaster in the Battle of the Gods. In addition, because of his position as the leader of the army, he was entangled with cause and effect, and was destined to have no hope of becoming an immortal.
Even though Yuanshi Tianzun has infinite magical powers and can change fate against the will of heaven, the Chan religion believes in obeying nature and responding to people, and Yuanshi Tianzun will not go against his own way.
Nowadays, in an era when hundreds of schools of thought are contending, Jiang Ziya has been reincarnated as Confucius. If there is no handwriting of Yuanshi Tianzun in this, he does not believe it.
Confucians do not cultivate the soul, nor do they cultivate the physical body. What they cultivate is a breath of awe-inspiring energy in their chests. If they are not immortals or gods, they follow the path of sages.
Confucians do not need to be born in the world. They need to practice in the world and practice their own way in the world of mortals.
He is not afraid of the entanglement of cause and effect, and just wallows in the mortal world. Isn't this the path that is most suitable for Jiang Ziya?
Yang Tuo has always been unable to calculate the origin of Confucius. His fate is unclear, and he does not know where he came from or where he is going.
Although he guessed that Confucius must be the reincarnation of a great power, he never thought that he would be the reincarnation of Jiang Ziya.
According to his inference, Jiang Ziya was proficient in strategy and the art of war. His reincarnation was either Gui Guzi of a political strategist or the grandson of a military strategist.
I didn’t want him to guess wrong!
In later generations, there were also rumors that Jiang Ziya was reincarnated as Gui Guzi or his grandson, but he never thought he was actually Confucius.
This time, it was really beyond his expectation.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is very reasonable. Jiang Ziya has made outstanding achievements among the gods and made great contributions to the elucidation of religion.
Because of this, his body is entangled with cause and effect, and it is difficult to achieve immortality. In the end, he has no choice but to enjoy the wealth and honor of the world and die without any illness.
With the character of Yuanshi Tianzun, a way out will inevitably be prepared for him.
Guiguzi's political strategist and Sun Tzu's military strategist are not enough to describe his achievements.
If a saint does not make good arrangements, he will inevitably end up burning bridges and be accused of being mean and ungrateful.
Even if you don't dare to discuss things openly, it is inevitable that some people will have slander in their hearts. You need to know that the human heart is the most unpredictable, and even a saint cannot control everything.
But after all, saints are people with great wisdom and great ambition. Yuanshi Tianzun must have spent a lot of effort to obtain the Confucian position for Jiang Ziya.
No wonder Confucianism was able to overthrow hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism. Without the support of saints behind them, how could they dare to do such a big thing?
Compared to the leader of Tongtian Cult, Yuanshi Tianzun is more protective of his disciples. For the sake of his disciples' future, he can send four of his direct disciples into Buddhism.
He planned the position of Emperor of Heaven for the Antarctic Immortal and Taiyi Zhenren. With all these things, he deserves to be a competent teacher.
Yang Tuo thought about all the things he had just traveled through time. Without Jiang Ziya's help, how could he have achieved what he has achieved today.
He sighed slightly and said: "That's good!"
He looked at Jiang Ziya in the scroll and said softly: "Brother Ziya, you saved me in the previous life. Let me save you in this life!"
"Although I can't make you walk higher, I can also make you walk more steadily! One day the two of us will meet again!"
Jiang Ziya's fate had long been concealed by Yuanshi Tianzun. If Confucius hadn't appeared in history this time, he wouldn't have discovered the clues.
The time in the scroll passed very quickly. After another half a while, Confucius experienced the entire history of the human race.
Finally, Confucius' soul left the scroll and returned to his physical body.
After a while, he finally came back to his senses.
Confucius straightened his sleeves and saluted respectfully: "Thank you so much, Chief, for allowing Confucius to experience historical development. Confucius benefited a lot!"
Yang Tuo also withdrew his thoughts at this time. It was not the time to meet Jiang Ziya yet. He said softly: "I hope I can help you!"
As he spoke, he sighed and said: "What a pity! Even so, what we have seen is only a corner of history. The world is so vast, and what I can record is only a tiny part of it!"
"If more people can record history, we can leave more wisdom to the human race!"
After Yang Tuo finished speaking, he sighed again!
When Confucius heard this, he felt that it was reasonable. He bowed again and said: "What the mountain chief said is the most reasonable thing. I am willing to follow your teacher's ambition and contribute to the human race."
"When I return to the State of Lu in the future, I will also compile a history book to leave some warnings for future generations."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tuo thought: "It's done!"
With a look of joy on his face, he said to Confucius: "You have such a heart, it is a great kindness! You will definitely have great achievements in the future!"
Confucius said quickly: "I just follow the example of the sages and I dare not take any credit!"
After he finished speaking, his face looked slightly tangled, as if something was wrong and he couldn't make up his mind.
Yang Tuo couldn't help but ask: "Do you still have doubts? You might as well speak up!"
Confucius bowed his hands and said awkwardly: "The mountain leader has already appointed a lot, I shouldn't ask for anything more!"
"But the great road has no limit, and my life also has a limit. If I pursue the endless road with a limit, how can I see the great road in my short life!"
As he spoke, he bowed and bowed: "I ask the sages to teach me the art of immortality, so that Confucius can also see the great road."
After saying this, he bowed down and did not get up again.
Yang Tuo thought for a moment, "If his cultivation method is taught, will it have any adverse effects?"
Since Yuanshi Tianzun has chosen the path for Confucius, if he teaches his method, will it shake its foundation and affect Confucius' future achievements?
When Confucius saw Yang Tuo didn't respond for a long time, he felt a little regretful: "It's Confucius who is greedy. Please don't take it to heart!"
Yang Tuo helped Confucius up and said, "Don't worry about it. It's not that I don't want to teach. I'm thinking about whether it will affect your foundation."
He then said: "You will achieve your own success in the future, so why rush for a while. I'm afraid that you will take the wrong path and affect your future achievements!"
Confucius naturally wanted to follow Confucianism in the future. He was neither a Buddha nor an immortal nor a god, so he definitely could not follow the path of immortality.
Not to mention the cause and effect, it is difficult to achieve immortality. If the human race lacks the methods of Confucianism and Taoism, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?
