Seeing that it was almost dawn, I put down Fusu's letter and went to Xunzi to attend class as usual. ~with~dream~small~say~щww~mеng~lā

When I arrived at the chess room, I found that Zhang Liang and Yan Lu were also there, and I don't know why they came. I saluted Xunzi and said hello, then sat down quietly and waited for Xunzi to speak.

"Ziyu, you have been studying with the old man for many days, what new understanding do you have of the way of Yi?"

My whole body tensed, Xunzi's question sounded simple, but it was really a little anxious to say a more sublimated argument, Xunzi was most disgusted by the remarks that we did not leave the book without any unique opinions.

I thought for a moment, and said cautiously: "The concubine body feels that the Tao of Yi is between heaven and earth, and only by emptying the body and mind and returning to nature can you slowly realize its true meaning." It is easy to play the image of heaven and earth, the change of yin and yang, and the way of change of all things are contained in it. The avenue is simple, its big has no outside, and its small has no inside. Everything is an inseparable whole, and the unity of this whole is Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, and the interaction of yin and yang will be endless, and only then will there be life. We are only a very small part of this whole, as big as governing the world, as small as words and deeds, if we can all conform to the changes of heaven and earth, we can naturally achieve self-cultivation and family governance and peace in the world. ”

"Hmm. Xunzi's gaze gently swept over the three of us, and said, "Today, the old man will test you with a question, flowing water." ”

Yan Lu first replied: "The flowing water is twists and turns, straight with the curve, square and round, deep and calm, and free to advance and retreat without stagnation." It exists in nature in all its forms, and there is nothing contrary to nature. Its inclusiveness is both a humble gesture and a valuable ability. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liang replied: "Flowing water is not rotten, the household hub is not beetle, and it is moving." Everything in the world is constantly changing, and only by reproducing and regenerating can it lead to infinity, which is the way of eternity. The beauty of life is new and new day by day. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liang and Yan Lu both turned their eyes to me with a light smile.

And I'm struggling to know how to answer in order to have a unique personality and rack my brains.,If the answer is too weak and makes Xunzi angry, then I'll be punished again.。

Without waiting for me to answer, Xunzi spoke first: "That's right, the way is all in Tai Chi." The old man once asked Ziyu, why is the Taiji diagram round? Ziyu, how did you answer at that time?"

I smiled embarrassedly and replied, "Because round things are easy to change, like the wheels of a car, if you have to be square, you won't be able to drive." ”

After speaking, the smile on the corner of Yan Lu's mouth deepened, Zhang Liang glanced at me with a hint of amusement, and saw that he was obviously making fun of me, so I immediately glanced back at him. Why bother writing all day long?

"Everything in the world is constantly changing, and the qi of yin and yang is rooted in each other, constantly running in infinity, and the two are polarized into one, forming a perfection and balance. It's like flowing water, and your luck is endless. And we need to be flexible, conform to the way of change in heaven and earth, be a person and do things must be round, and the more angular things are, the more we will encounter obstacles. Xunzi turned to me again and asked, "Ziyu, what can be done about the Tao contained in flowing water if it is adapted to swordsmanship?"

Why did Xunzi suddenly discuss the mysteries of martial arts with me? Countless fragments of martial arts novels flashed through my mind, what is the six-vein divine sword, what is the Dugu Nine Sword...... Although the martial arts in martial arts novels are exaggerated, many of these martial arts theories are still partially based on reality. But no matter how exaggerated it is, it's not as exaggerated as this plane, and you'll encounter abilities wherever you go.

I sorted out the ideas of the set of martial arts novels and replied: "Drawing a knife to cut off the water is more flowing, and the flowing water is endless, and it is by no means something that can be cut off by any force." If someone's swordsmanship can be like flowing water, endless, and thousands of changes are invisible, he will be invincible in the world. ”

Zhang Liang chuckled in his ears again. I feel like he's here to smash the field!

Xunzi asked rhetorically: "Is it really invincible in the world?"

I was silent, bowing my head and waiting for the posture of teaching and solving doubts, there is indeed no invincible in this world, no matter how high the martial arts are, there are weaknesses.

Xunzi continued: "Dayu controls the water, and he is not blocking it. If you forcibly resist, it will only cause greater destruction, and if you can grasp the law and dredge it, the natural and endless invincible swordsmanship in the world will not hurt you. Is that still invincible?"

"Uncle Shi, the concubine has been taught. ”

Although Xunzi didn't fully agree with my remarks, the expression on his face was gratifying.

He ordered Yan Lu to stroke the qin, and then said: "The tangible is born from the invisible." The form is the quality, the qi is the use, the qi is invisible, and it relies on the quality to move, and it is tangible. If you grasp the law of fluctuation, you will naturally understand the quality of the sound of the piano, and the shape of the sound of the piano is not like flowing water. ”

Xunzi ordered Zhang Liang to take the chime again. The chime is shaped like a curved ruler and appears to be made of jade, suspended from a shelf. Zhang Liang handed me a small stick and motioned for it to be beaten.

Xunzi explained: "Ziyu, Zilu's piano sound is different from usual, integrated with a certain internal force, you try to beat the chime, if you can disturb the sound of the piano, you can break his piano sound." It's just that you have to be careful yourself, if you don't hit it properly, the sound of the piano will be blocked and the internal force will be released, and it will also put pressure on you. ”

Zhang Liang smiled at Yan Lu and said, "Senior brother, my subordinates have shown mercy." Yan Lu smiled and nodded in response.

Xunzi scolded Zhang Liang and said: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made." At this time, how to deal with the merciless treatment of those who are merciful?"

Zhang Liang smiled and looked more stern, he looked at me and nodded encouragingly, and said to Xunzi: "Uncle Shi taught us. ”

Although Yan Lu does not show the dew on weekdays, but from his comprehension of the Book of Changes and the sword book he compiled, it can be seen that he has profound martial arts attainments. I really have to be careful to deal with it, although it is only a practice, but after a few misfire injuries and almost accidentally injured others, I am still a little afraid, and I don't know what unpredictable things will happen.

I picked up the stick and struck the chime, and there was a sound of bells. Although the sound is loud, it cannot disturb the sound, but it unconsciously cooperates with the sound.

Xunzi frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You play like this, how can you be restrained by him?"

I stopped and said, "As Uncle Shi said, I just feel that the sound of this piano is like flowing water, which cannot be interrupted, and it is impossible to disturb it." ”

"The rhyme of the piano is long, soft and strong, and the power contained is infinite, and it is indeed wise for you not to forcibly cut it off. But why don't you use the other way, but also use your body, find out the law, first use the momentum of tolerance to guide the situation, and then find its flaws. The water flow has its own trend and regularity of flow, and at the right time, it will hit all the waves back, and it can interrupt the sound of the piano. ”

I held my breath and closed my eyes, catching the flow of qi carried by the sound of the piano around me. The beat of the hand is no longer blindly in line with the rhythm of the piano, and in a gap between the rhythm changes, it is tentatively slowed down by half a beat. It was only this half beat that I suddenly felt that the air flow in the room suddenly changed speed, and the sound wave of the chime collided with the sound of the piano in disharmony, stirring up a strange force of convection, a pressure rushed all over my body, the sleeves of my coat bulged, and the bun on my head fell down, and I quickly changed back to the beat.

Yan Luqin's voice suddenly slowed down, as if he wanted to relieve the pressure that was pouring on me.

"Zilu, don't stop!" Xunzi reprimanded.

Yan Lu's piano tone froze for a moment, and then regained its previous momentum.

I calmed my breath and continued to look for the regularity of its flow as Xunzi said. The sound of the piano was like water and wind, swirling in the room, and finally when the air movement tended to have traces of reflux, I found an opportunity, and suddenly grabbed a beat, and hit hard, and the air suddenly accelerated and flowed back to Yan Lu as if there was a blasting potential. I opened my eyes sharply and looked at Yan Lu.

With a buzz, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Yan Lu's hands had left the guqin, but the strings of the guqin were still roaring.

"Senior brother?" I asked.

Yan Lu tightened the sleeves of his shirt that had just been turned up, and said with a smile: "It's okay, this power is just a rebound after my internal force is condensed." But Ziyu's blow is also very mysterious, when it is strong, it is strong, and the tricks that can accommodate others form a counterattack, and the effect of what Uncle Shi said is really amazing. ”

Xun Zi said: "It seems that there are no gaps to be broken, but in fact, there are still flaws to be found." As long as Ziyu can understand the reason for the change of all things from the mystery of nature, and with your deep internal force and keen spiritual awareness of the surroundings, it will not be difficult to see through the flaws in the changes of the opponent's tricks!"

Zhang Liang said: "Yun'er, the reason why you were able to resist the trick of the star soul was that you saw through the changes at the moment of crisis. After comprehending the principles and laws of tricks, it can naturally be copied, but its power is only about one or two percent of other people's skills. ”

I nodded, I have been inexplicably angry in the past two days, which also makes me very confused. No wonder Xunzi suddenly gave a detailed lecture on martial arts today, and it is estimated that Zhang Liang has consulted Xunzi and told me about the somewhat unbelievable situation I have encountered in the past two days.

"Ovary, is the time almost up?" Xunzi asked suddenly.

Zhang Liang nodded: "Yes, Uncle Shi." ”

After a while, the disciple came and put on the black cloak that went out.

Zhang Liang handed me a set: "Yun'er, put it on, let's go to an inn together." ”

"Why are you dressed as so mysterious?" Zhang Liang said that he wanted to go to Songhai City to watch a good show, it seems that he is not playing, right?

I put on my cloak and simply coiled up the scattered bun, and was about to fix it, when the hairpin in my hand was taken away by Zhang Liang.

He smiled and shook his head, walked up behind me, put his bun back in a loose bun, straightened his fingers between the strands of hair a few times, recoiled the bun, and inserted the hairpin. My heart moved inexplicably, he was really considerate and 'virtuous' at this moment...... It's the first time I've grown so big and a man has helped me comb my hair, and his movements are so unhurried and methodical.

He skillfully helped me finish grooming, and then answered my question: "As for why, Yun'er will know when she arrives, in short, there will be delicious food, you can rest assured." ”

"I'm not Ziming, don't fool me with food, what kind of conspiracy are you playing?"

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and helped me put on the hat of the cloak: "Put on the hat and walk with your head down, try to be as low-key as possible." ”

I thought it was quite funny in my heart, a group of people dressed like this mysterious in broad daylight is not a good thing at first glance, how can there be a kind of rush of the underworld into the city? No matter how low-key it is, it must attract people's attention......

Sure enough, just as I was tasting my favorite hot Ding Shopkeeper's special small cage in an inn, suddenly the door was kicked open, and two rows of Qin soldiers in armor stood on both sides, and Li Si suddenly appeared.

His sharp gaze swept over us, especially when his gaze fell on me, his face changed, everyone sitting in the seat was sitting upright, only I had taken off my hat, could it be that I ate too much... So it was a little bit of a surprise to him? How could there be a look of surprise on his face that I couldn't read......

Liston paused, eased his expression, and said with a gloomy face: "You are the distinguished guests of the shopkeeper Ding, and I am an uninvited guest, but meeting is fate, why don't you meet each other?"

"Meeting may not be fateful, and seeing each other is better than not seeing. Xunzi said coldly, turned around and took off his hat

Li Si's face changed drastically, and he looked at everyone in astonishment.

"Lord Sangkoku. And all those present stood up and saluted:

"It turned out to be everyone from Little Sage Village, Li Si really didn't know that the teacher was also here, it was too presumptuous. Li Si's face was already pale, and he said to Xunzi again, "The teacher is above, and the disciple Li Si will meet you." ”

Xunzi didn't cut it and said: "Lord Li is in a high position, how dare I be?"

"A teacher for one day, a father for life. The teacher's preaching and teaching to solve doubts at that time, Li Si will never forget it. ”

"How can the old man be able to do it. What kind of preaching, what kind of karma do you teach, and what kind of confusion has you solved for Lord Li?" Xun Zi sneered and said bluntly sarcastically, "Could it be that what Lord Li has done recently is still due to the guidance of the old man?"

"Bold! How dare you talk to Lord Xiangguo like this!" Qin Bing on the side suddenly scolded.

"This is my teacher, don't be rude, retreat!" Li Si scolded the Qin soldiers who offended Xunzi, and said to Xunzi respectfully and politely, "I heard that the teacher has been practicing in retreat, how can he go down the mountain and go to Songhai City?"

"We want to try the craftsmanship of Shopkeeper Ding, could it be that we have also violated the laws of Great Qin?"

"What did the teacher say, it's just that during this period of time, there were rebels wanted by the empire in Songhai, and this time the teacher and everyone from the Little Sage Village were dressed up so mysterious......

Only then did I understand why Li Si looked at me with that kind of eyes just now, and I guess the first time I saw my beautiful and leisurely appearance, it really didn't fit the atmosphere of the secret gathering of rebels he expected, no wonder his face was so ugly.

Zhang Liang stood up and said politely: "My lord, please forgive my sins, Confucianism is disciplined, and gentlemen are far away from cooking." Therefore, the weekday food is sent to the village by the shopkeeper Ding, and this time, the shopkeeper Ding has developed several new dishes, all of which are to cook hot food, so we are invited to come and taste. This is a bit mysterious. ”

The corners of Li Si's mouth hooked up a light smile, but his face was even more gloomy: "I see, that's really a misunderstanding." Shopkeeper Ding, that's a lot of offense. ”

Shopkeeper Ding smiled innocently: "Where is it, since Lord Xiangguo is here, do you want to taste the new dishes together?"

"I don't dare to disturb my teacher's Yaxing, and the disciple takes his leave. ”

Li Si walked away. I looked out the door and saw Gongsun Linglong's extremely strong figure, and her bewitching voice: "Xiangguo-sama~~~"

"Hmph~~" Li Si snorted coldly.

I secretly thought in my heart, Gongsun Linglong always committed nymphomaniac against Zhang Liang on weekdays, and secretly spied on him, this time Li Si suddenly ran here to arrest the rebel, it is estimated that Gongsun Linglong gave Li Si the wrong news, right? Zhang Liang took advantage of Gongsun Linglong's surveillance and interfered with Li Si's judgment, so Li Si was so angry and so unresponsive to Gongsun Linglong.

Thinking of this, the angry gaze of my grandfather Sun Linglong happened to fall on me, and I smiled at her and squeezed my eyes.

didn't expect this action to be seen by Fu Nian, he said solemnly: "Ziyu, how can words and deeds be so frivolous." ”

I hurriedly put away my expression and said respectfully: "Yes, senior brother in charge, the concubine just saw a friend in the ovary, so she just said hello." ”

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere froze, and the Confucian disciples who couldn't hold back snickered. I glanced down at Zhang Liang, he shook his head slightly, and sighed softly: "Yun'er, come with me." ”
