When he was born, he not only looked extremely fierce and ugly, but also had deformed palms, but he was upright and kind, and he was an authentic warrior and gentleman.
Once, Zi Yu crossed the Yellow River from Yanjin with a priceless piece of white bi, and the boat traveled to the middle, when suddenly the wind was fierce, the waves were fierce, and the wind and waves came suddenly and violently. Zi Yu stood at the bow of the boat, without any fear, observed for a long time, and was sure that Hebo was at work.
It turned out that the Yellow River water god Hebo heard that Zi Yu was carrying a rare piece of white bi to cross the Yellow River, and became greedy, so he sent the Great Wave Shenyang Hou and two dragons to stir up the wind and waves, trying to overturn the boat and take the opportunity to seize the bi from Zi Yu's hands.
The god of the great wave was originally a prince who feared sin and threw himself into the river in ancient times, but after his death, he became the god of the great wave and obeyed the dispatches of the river. Yang Hou let the two dragons hold Zi Yu's boat hostage, and he called the wind and rain on his side, and in a flash, the yellow river was furious, the rain poured down, and the rolling dark clouds covered the entire sky, and the sky was dark and dark. In the midst of the terrifying waves, I saw two dragons dead entangled in the bow and stern of the ship, their eyes wide open, their teeth and claws dancing, it was like they were going to swallow the whole ship at any time, which was really terrible.
The people on the ship were all frightened and scattered, crying and shouting, only Zi Yu was calm and self-assured, looking like Tarzan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change color. Only to see Zi Yu standing majestically at the bow of the ship, shouting at the rolling waves: "Don't think about it in vain!" If you want to get my bi, just ask me, the gentleman is doing the right thing, sitting straight, trying to use such despicable and shameless means to force me to submit, you can't do it! ”
Speaking of which, Zi Yu held a bi in one hand and a sword in the other, plunging into the rapids, only to see that the sword light was like lightning, flying up and down the river, in the blink of an eye, the entire river was suddenly stained red with blood, and then look at the bow of the ship, those two vicious and terrible dragons had been cut into several pieces by Zi Yu's sword, and they had already died. Yang Hou saw that Zi Yu was like a heavenly god, and in a few rounds, he beheaded two dragons, frightened and frightened, knowing that he was not an opponent, so he hurriedly collected the troops and returned to his life. Suddenly, the clouds opened and the fog dissipated, the wind and rain stopped, the whole river surface was quiet, and Zi Yu and others successfully crossed the Yellow River.
After landing ashore, Zi Yu took out the piece of Bi, threw it into the water with disdain, did not say a word, turned around and left, but after throwing three times in a row, Na Bi always bounced back automatically.
It turned out that Hebo could not succeed in taking the bi, but instead folded two dragons, and was scolded by Zi Yu, and his heart was ashamed and embarrassed, and he really had no face to ask for that piece of bi again.
Zi Yu saw that Hebo refused to accept bi, so he smashed the bi on a stone on the shore, smashed it, and then flew away.
Later, Zi Yu met Confucius, worshipped Confucius as a teacher, and became a disciple of Confucius. Confucius saw that he looked fierce and did not value him very much, and later gradually understood his qualities and personality, and admired him very much, especially after hearing about his slaying of the dragon, he realized that he had used to judge people by his appearance, which was very wrong. So he said with emotion: "Take people by their appearance, and lose their sons and feathers." ”
@ Jin Tang Wind Bone: Folk tale "Zi Yu Chopping Jiao", telling the story of Zi Yu chopping the dragon.
As the saying goes: "Man is not to be disguised, and the sea is incomparable." "Looks are indeed important to a person, but they are much less important than a person's heart. Wise people like Confucius also look away because he cares too much about Ziyu's ugly appearance. And it turns out that Zi Yu is a bright and brave husband, really Haojie.
It is not uncommon to judge people by their appearance since ancient times. Because the appearance can be seen directly with the eyes, it is easy for people to decide their likes and dislikes for the people they see according to the external beauty and ugliness, but often in the end, they find that the appearance and the heart are not the same. If you want to really understand a person, you must go deep inside, and the appearance often plays a wrong guiding role.
