Standing of distinguishing right from wrong in two sides.
The Laozi/father student, reveals the proud color, the Confucius student, pinches tightly the fist.
Each other does not pay attention each other, but pays attention to the dead ahead in the room.
In the room, Confucius and Laozi/father sit well in place of the small tea table.
Side has a small stove, on the small stove, such as the past Mangshan discussed to be the same, is making pot tea. The one side has several spatial cups.
If when Mangshan discussed was the same, this tea, is not the present drinks, but after when decided the victory and loss, tea that respected!
In this year, when Confucius is 51 years old, no longer the 30 year high-spiritedness, many years of outside meal wind rain and dew, some hair blanches, seemed old, but, pair of eyes, even more was bright. 20 years of round trip various nations, making Confucius wash off the cosmetics, gave up affectation.

But this time, eye Divine Capital already of Confucius was tranquil.
This tranquility, does not reveal the countenance intentionally, but is the tranquility of the heart.
This tranquility, in a own student, has never had, even if that oneself sends hope significant Yang Zhu, compared with Confucius look at this moment, excesses of bills payable incessantly a least bit.
„What do you want to consult? I have not known your Great Dao how, after that day, you have what sensibility, whether to make me know first?” Laozi/father tranquil looks to Confucius.
„Nature!” Confucius nodded.
During the speeches, Confucius also no longer constrains, immediately emits own Great Dao.

„30,000 li (0.5 km)?”
Various group of scholars who an old man student surprised say/way, the four directions, wait and see from afar, stare the big eye at this moment.
„Confucius Great Dao 30,000 li (0.5 km)? This, how is this possible?”
„Now under the Heavens, can be ten thousand li (0.5 km), only has Laozi/father, how although did not know Laozi/father now Great Dao, but, 20 years ago, outside Hangu Pass, wrote down the Scripture of the Dao moment, but inflated the 30 ten thousand li (0.5 km), hence under the Heavens, unmanned Great Dao may again compared with Laozi/father!”
