Chapter 352: What is Confucianism?
The big ship set sail, and dozens of oarsmen worked at the same time, really riding the wind and waves.
The slightly fishy lake breeze blew in the face, and everyone had a happy look on their faces.
When Xuanwu Wuzhou disappeared from view, Bu An found a crew member who looked like a leader to come over and ask questions, and Tu Yao listened on the side, asking a few words from time to time.
Bu An could only understand the dialect of the crew for seven or eight points, and his question had to be repeated several times before the other party could understand it—Seventeen could obviously act as an interpreter, but he sat motionless at the stern of the boat, and was not ready to come over to help.
After only a few questions, Bu An knew why Seventeen also spoke such a strange dialect.
This is not the East China Sea – which is obvious because the lake is fresh water – but a water world that has been isolated from the rest of the world since the end of the Qin Dynasty.
That is to say, the inhabitants of this place and the inhabitants of the East China Sea archipelago, in the period of time not far from the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Qin Dynasty, for completely different reasons, completely disconnected from the Central Plains culture - the seventeenth can speak the official dialect of Shenzhou, presumably because the East China Sea God Clan has always maintained contact with the Central Plains.
The island country to which this big ship belongs is called Yingzhou Country, which has jurisdiction over two islands of Yingzhou and Liangzhou, seven counties and 31 counties, and is the largest country among the three kingdoms of water and sky.
In addition, the other two countries in the Three Kingdoms of Water and Sky are the Qi Kingdom, which has jurisdiction over the two islands of Cuizhou and Huanzhou, and the Caozhou State, which has the largest area, the smallest population, and the most barren products.
Legend has it that there was no distinction between the five continents of water and heaven, and the inhabitants of the island were the descendants of the people who avoided the tyrannical Qin and harsh government, but they multiplied from generation to generation, and within a hundred years, some people followed the example of the first emperor and became the emperor of this water and heaven Ze country.
Later, the people revolted, pulled the emperor off the horse, established large and small kingdoms, and then there were wars every 100 years.
At present, the situation that the Yingzhou Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom are competing against each other, and the Grass Country is not cared for has been maintained for more than two hundred years.
Listening to this two-thousand-year-old history with a clear pattern that is quite small, but it is very resounding, Tu Yao suddenly looked at the scenery of the water and sky, and said with emotion: "The rippling sky and sand, the void and the sky are far away." The autumn sun is not shining, and the birds are boundless......"
Bu An casually continued: "The momentum leads to the long clouds and the clouds, and the waves are clear and the feathers are ......"
Song Manqiu also took the opportunity to pick up: "Yingzhou is unpredictable, and the eternity is covered with smoke." ”
Then the three of them looked at each other and smiled, but there was a hint of tacit loss in their eyes.
Most of the people in the Seven Divisions are cows chewing peonies, and they don't understand why these three people suddenly sighed. Only Luo Qingting had read books for a few years, and he thought that he knew more than Zhang Blind, so he smiled and praised: "Bu Ye has become a poem in three steps, and everyone knows it." I can't imagine that Tu Daru and Miss Song also have such literary talents!"
Bu An just smiled, didn't find out the facts, and embarrassed her.
Unexpectedly, Hui Yuan interjected very uninterestingly: "This is the poetry of the Tang Dynasty Zhang Ji......"
Luo Qingting suddenly looked embarrassed.
"This water Tianze country has been self-contained since the end of the Qin Dynasty. We just wanted to see if the poems of the Tang Dynasty could attract aura. Bu An shook his head with a smile and said: "This place is not without aura, since Tang poems are useless, it means that they are not completely isolated from the world, at least You Ling can figure it out." ”
"This kind of literati game is really not something that I, a rough person who has studied in private school for three years, can understand......" Luo Qingting laughed and laughed at himself.
Everyone laughed.
Seventeen deliberately looked at the waves at the stern of the boat, pretending not to hear anything, but the roots of her teeth were itching—no coincidence, she had only read books for three years, and she didn't know where those few lines of poetry came from, so Luo Qingting's self-deprecating words sounded extremely harsh to her.
At this time, she really wanted to scold the last sentence, so that the storyteller and the two Confucian women couldn't get off the stage, but she only wanted to come up with one sentence of "pedantic and sour" - although this word is used to scold Confucianism, it can be used here, it is not appropriate at all, and maybe it will make them laugh!
Seventeen actually felt a trace of "I hate less when the book is used", and thought that when I returned to the island in the future, I would have to turn the books diligently, at least I would have to learn more sarcastic and ridiculous words.
How did Bu An know that her psychological activities were so complicated, his mind was not on this crazy girl at all, and after a while, he asked the crew about the situation of this Shui Tianze country.
The crew had no idea of the five continents of Xuanwu where everyone had been before, as if these five small islands had appeared suddenly.
It was probably because he saw that this group of strangers was very polite, as if they were visitors from outside the world, and he gradually became unwary, especially about the situation in Yingzhou Kingdom, from the silence at the beginning, to the more he talked later, the more he said, the more detailed he said.
It turns out that the current emperor of this Yingzhou country is surnamed Xu, and it has been passed down for twelve generations, and the implementation is the strict punishment law of the Legalists, so the people are poor and the country is strong, and several crusades against the Qi country have failed, and the national strength is gradually declining, and the people's lives are becoming more and more difficult.
For obvious reasons, there is no cavalry in the Three Kingdoms of Water and Sky, and the foot soldiers are also very limited, but the ability to build ships is very good.
And the cultivator that Bu'an cares about the most, although this crew member has not had much contact, he has also heard of it.
There are thousands of warlocks in Yingzhou, all of whom serve the imperial court, and it is said that the great Sima Li Yu has the ability to call for wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers.
Listening to what he said, of course Bu An wouldn't believe it.
How can the three small countries compare with the world of Shenzhou? The population base is too small, and the probability of the emergence of a cultivation genius is obviously much smaller.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the ship had its own food, and everyone was worried about fraud, so they ordered the crew to eat first, and then they had a full meal, and then arranged for the guard, and then they fell asleep in the cabin.
Bu'an personally guarded the first half of the night, and was sleeping heavily in the second half of the night, when he was suddenly woken up by a loud "dong" sound outside the ship.
When he opened his eyes, the ship was already in chaos, and Bu An hurriedly boarded the deck, only to see that the sky was already slightly bright, and there was a faint stretch of land in the direction of the bow, and between the shoreline of the lake and the stern under his feet, there were dozens of building boats running through.
"It's a catapult!"
"Retreat! Retreat!"
In the midst of the chaos, the ship slowly retracted its sails and turned around.
Even if the people of the Seven Divisions can swim, they don't know how to operate a boat. Although Seventeen also went on deck, she clasped her arms in her hands, as if she had really come to see the excitement.
When the big ship turned around and slowly retreated in the opposite direction, dozens of warships on the opposite side chased after them, and they were about to form an encirclement, and the huge trebuchets on those building ships also threw the cobblestone the size of a winter melon and landed on the water near the big ship.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a stone hit the bow of the ship, followed by several wails, and some crew members were injured and crushed to death!
In a hurry, Bu An was just about to ask Seventeen to make a move, but he saw Song Manqiu standing in the stern of the boat, holding his bow like a full moon, and then cast a spirit arrow with a "bang", and after a breath, there was a loud noise in the distance.
Bu'an looked around, and saw a building ship chasing in front, and the part of the hull near the waterline had already broken a big hole five or six feet wide! The building boat suddenly slowed down, and the ship was in a panic.
Song Manqiu shot an arrow without stopping at all, followed by another arrow, three or five arrows in succession, and the bullets were not missing, blocking the fleets that followed on the water!
However, at this moment, several exclamations came from the direction of the bow of the ship.
Bu An looked back and saw that the dense ships were coming up from the other side! Obviously, he had no experience in water warfare on his side, and he was surrounded by people alone!
As the so-called strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, is it necessary to suffer such a big loss when you first arrive?
"You're not going to do it?" Bu An shouted at Seventeen.
"Haven't you always had a good idea!" Seventeen squinted at him, just waiting for him to relent.
Bu An rolled his eyes, so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but he heard Tu Yao standing in the direction of the bow of the boat, turned his head and shouted at him: "Bu An help me!"
Hearing this, Bu An ran towards her and said hurriedly: "What do you want me to do?!"
"Poetry!" Tu Yao stood on the bow of the boat, letting the lake wind blow his long hair and his clothes hunting, but his body was as tall as a spear.
Bu An immediately understood what she meant, and as he ran towards her, he had already chanted aloud:
"The sky is cloudy and foggy, and the galaxy wants to turn a thousand sails to dance. It is as if the dream soul has returned to the emperor's place, hearing the words of the heavens, and asking me where I am going!"
"I report that the road is long and twilight, and there are amazing sentences in learning poetry. Ninety thousand miles of wind is moving. The wind rests! The boat blows the three mountains!"
In an instant, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the dim stars in the sky suddenly shone brightly, and the wind set off stormy waves on the lake.
The crew was stunned!
Everyone from the Seven Divisions stood on the deck one after another and watched this amazing scene!
At the stern of the ship, Song Manqiu's spirits were greatly lifted, one person and one bow, blocking dozens of huge ships!
On the bow of the boat, Tu Yao stood in front of the wind and waves, his face did not change, and suddenly his hands were flat on his chest, and he slowly bent over, as if saluting to the water and sky......
Suddenly, the lake in front of her seemed to be rapidly receding, like a huge beast, emerging from under the lake!
The lake water surged forward, like a huge carpet that had been lifted, stirring up huge waves more than ten zhang high! As Tu Yao bent over, the momentum of the waves became more and more terrifying, and when it reached a hundred zhang away, it had already covered the entire fleet on the opposite side!
Confucianism is innocent...... Dominating the aura outside the body...... I see...... Bu An was stunned for a while.
The wind and waves covered the sky in the distance, and the big boat under his feet also swayed, and almost capsized in the aftermath that followed. From time to time, crew members fall overboard. Fortunately, everyone in the Seven Divisions has cultivated a lot, and Hui Yuan has been running back and forth to help, so there are no accidental casualties.
When the wind and waves gradually subside, the direction of the bow of the ship, where is the shadow of the fleet?
