Is this also becoming? Zimo was speechless in his heart, but it was not easy to shirk.

"I wonder what the uncle and the general want to write?"

"I don't know, how many people don't even know how to write, how do you know what to write, just watch and write." The shopkeeper smiled and rubbed his hands.

"Yes, it's better for Mozi to consider it, our level is limited." Feng Ziyu also smiled.

"Well, I'll give it a try." Zimo did not shirk it, put the snake skin in place, estimated the number of words, pondered while inkstone, and after a while, there were words and sentences in his heart, and he dipped the pen in ink, and wrote:

Ru Sanze thinks that it is a sight, and the clouds and mountains float in the sea, which can welcome all directions;

Brewing thunder summer and making liquor, heroes gather at the head of the building, deterring ghosts.

"Uncle, how about this for you?" With that, he read the words.

"Good! Good! Good! It not only welcomes guests into wealth, but also deters evil spirits, just right! When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately smiled and couldn't put it down.

This Zimo groaned again, thought about it, and wrote with a stroke on another pair of snake skins:

Ning Yicheng Yuque is full of bright horses, hoofs and people's livelihood, Kangtai;

Attract thousands of miles of auspicious clouds, glow with color, wind and rain, and make the four seas rich and strong.

"General Feng, how do you see this pair hanging on both sides of the city gate?" With that, he read the words out.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! It not only shows the love for the people's livelihood, but also means the prosperity of our country. When General Feng heard this, he was overjoyed, and like a shopkeeper, he picked it up with both hands and looked at it carefully.

"Mozi, how should I call these two pairs of words?" After reading it, General Feng had a sorrow, this is not a poem, and it is not a classic, how to describe it?

Zimo is also the first time to encounter it, I don't know what to call this pair of words, it has never appeared in classical anthologies, maybe this is his own initiative, constantly thinking in his mind, searching for information.

"There it is." Zimo said with a smile, "This word is a couplet on the left and right, and the word volunteers are fighting in pairs, so it's better to call it 'couplet'!" ”

"Couplet? Okay, it's called a couplet! This couplet is based on the red skin of the evil beast, which is suppressed by Mozi Mobao and has the effect of warding off evil spirits and protecting and deterring. Xia Guan will report to the king tonight, and ask Mozi to stay here for a few more days to wait for good news. "General Feng is overjoyed.

"General Feng, don't be in a hurry to report to the king, I can't hide it, my master and I had something to pass by Chengyang City, and I didn't want to encounter a cockscomb snake hurting people, so I stayed here, this time, tomorrow my master and I will continue to set off and rush to Puyang City."

"Huh? Is it so urgent? Can't you wait a few more days, and just take advantage of these days to entertain you. ”

"I'm very sorry, General Feng, I really have something to do with Master, if I don't hurry, I'm afraid I'll miss the big event."

"How's that okay?" Feng Ziyu frowned, and suddenly thought of a solution, "Mozi, do you think this is feasible?" What do you think of me if you tell me the address of your home, and when the king gives you the reward, I will send someone to bring it to you, or the king will send someone directly to your home? ”

Zimo couldn't bear to brush away Feng Ziyu's kindness, so he agreed, and then told himself that he lived at the foot of Tengcheng Hui Mountain, and he could find it as soon as he inquired.

The crowd talked freely from morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, before they gradually dispersed.

Back in the guest room, Zimo lay down on the bed, leaned on his back, and said weakly: "Master, please forgive the apprentice for being rude, let me lie down for a while, but I'm tired to death, even if I have traveled a hundred miles and fought with the big snake for a day, I am not so tired, and I am not polite to excuse myself, and if I don't shirk, it is not good for others to leave early, it is really a living sin." ”

"Hahahaha, this is Vanity Fair in the world, limited by etiquette and morality, this is not the end, you will be tired tomorrow?" Chi Songzi laughed and said, "But it is also a great gain for you to win the title of Mozi as a child, and when you return home, you will discover the power of this name." ”

"Huh? Tired tomorrow? Why, I have explained to them that tomorrow we will get up and go to Nadu. ”

"Where's your wisdom in fighting cockscombs?" Chi Songzi teased, "That morning, the whole city must have come to send each other, and all kinds of money and gifts were piled up. Besides, if you get rid of the cockscomb snake, not only the people of Chengyang are grateful, but also the people of the city of Chuidu, can you favor one over the other and not accept the reception of the people of Chuidu? ”

"How so? I just couldn't bear to let the people here suffer and killed a snake, right? It's a small life. Zimo called Qu Dao, as if he suddenly thought of something, sat up suddenly, and said with his eyebrows fluttering, "Master, why don't you work hard tonight and take me away?" ”

"!" Chi Songzi glared at Zimo, "Could it be that Master is your guard?" Then he laughed again, knowing that Zimo really had no choice but to make this decision, and comforted Zimo and said, "This is what you must go through when you experience the world, just deal with it calmly." However, you must be clear in your heart, and you must not be deceived by the fame and fortune in front of you, otherwise it will not be conducive to your cultivation. ”

"Okay then." Zimo said weakly, since the master said so, there must be a master's reason, although there was some resistance in his heart, but he still agreed.

"Since you're feeling tired, it's better to wash up and rest early."

"Yes, Master."

This night, Zimo slept very sweetly, and slept until three poles in the morning.

After getting up, Zimo apologized to the master embarrassedly, Chi Songzi smiled, didn't blame him, and ordered to pack up his things, eat early, and set off.

The master and apprentice came to the guest hall, asked for a few breakfasts, ate briefly, and said goodbye to the shopkeeper, who sent them all the way.

Along the way, the whole town was empty, and Zimo couldn't help but wonder: "Uncle Shopkeeper, why is there no one in the city today, is something wrong?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and pretended to be mysterious, "I don't know." ”

Soon, the three of them came to the ferry, but Zimo was stunned by the scene in front of him, the black crowd stood on both sides, leaving a passage of about one or two meters in the middle. Looking out at the lake through the crowd passage, a bamboo raft is piled with various items.

"Uncle, what is this?"

Before the shopkeeper could answer, he saw a person walking out of the crowd, who was the general who was guarding the city. General Nafeng stepped forward and made a gesture: "Mozi, Xia Guan led the people of a city to see him off, and the other people were full of love, crowdfunding some gifts, and hoping to accept them with a smile." ”

After yesterday's master's reminder, Zimo was no longer surprised in his heart, stretched out his hand to help General Feng, and said, "General, please calm down, can you allow Zimo to say a few words?" ”

Feng Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay! He turned his head and said loudly to the people, "The big guy has a high ground, Mozi has something to say!" ”

As soon as they heard that Mozi was going to speak, everyone consciously gave up a big bluestone, Zimo saw this, jumped on the bluestone, first hugged his fists and bowed to the surrounding ring to make a deep bow, and then Fang spoke: "Uncles, the boy Zimo is fortunate to come to Chengyang City, and has experienced some things with everyone, this matter is just the boy's ability, a little bit of effort, all the uncles treat each other like this, the city sends each other, so that the boy is very grateful, the boy is ashamed here!" After speaking, he took a deep look again, and then said, "It's just a gift raised by the uncles, and the kid can't accept it." First, the kid has something to travel, and it is really inconvenient to carry it; Second, this time in addition to the evil snake, but it used everyone's vegetable oil for a year, household clothes, damaged a lot of farm tools, this is the time to replenish, the farming season, just green and yellow, and need to live and need to plough the field, so these gifts are also asked to take back, in exchange for some useful things; Third, if the kid accepts this gift, it will also cause psychological obstacles on the way to study in the future, which is not conducive to studying. Therefore, please take it back from your uncles, and the heart of the boy is it! After saying that, I couldn't afford to do it again.

The words were very sincere, and the people of the city were full of emotion, the so-called three points are actually one point, that is, the second point.

Seeing that Zimo was so resolute, Feng Ziyu had no choice but to step forward and help Zimo on behalf of the people: "Mozi, quickly calm down, I'll take it back." Speaking of this, his eyes were slightly red, "Your great kindness to the people of Chengyang, we will never forget!" ”

"Never forget! Never forget! The people raised their arms and shouted, wave after wave.

Zimo was deeply moved, biting his lip, glanced at all the city's citizens again, turned around and got on an empty bamboo raft, not daring to look back, for fear that he would not be able to control his tears when he turned around. Chi Songzi signaled to Chengyang's shopkeeper and stepped on the bamboo raft. The people who had already arranged the first-class boat supporters were waiting, and when they saw the two of them getting on the bamboo raft, they followed, pushed the bamboo raft with a pole, and went to the depths of Lei Xiaze.

The people of this city watched the bamboo raft leave, and refused to leave for a long time.

On the bamboo raft, Chi Songzi looked at Zimo, smiled slightly, and asked, "How do you feel this time?" ”

Looking at the vast lake, Zimo's heart was calm, and when he heard the master's question, he thought about it and replied: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!" ”

Chi Songzi nodded: "The summary is very incisive, which shows that this harvest is not small." ”

Take the waterway and the lake again, straight through, the distance is indeed a lot closer, in the afternoon there is a westerly side, go to a place, look up, you can see the shore.

"Master, I didn't expect this Lei Xia Ze to be so vast, a straight waterway, and he has to go so far, but fortunately, it's finally almost there."

"Hehe, where is this, Jiuze in the world, this Lei Xia Ze can only be regarded as a smaller one, you haven't seen that big one, it can be several times the size of this Lei Xia Ze, at a glance, boundless."

"Jiuze in the world? Master, tell me about the Jiuze. ”

"The nine lakes in the world, as the name suggests, are the nine largest lakes in the world. These nine lakes are Yunmengze (now Dongting Lake), Peng Lize (now Poyang Lake), Gu Quze (now Taihu Lake), Xingze (now gone), Lei Xiaze (now gone), Onozawa (Shuibo Liangshan), Heze (Heze), Meng Zhuze (now gone), Juyeze (now gone), these nine rivers are the cradle of mankind when they are docile, and when they are tyrannical, they are the nightmare of mankind. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"You think, people need water for farming, close to the water, the land will not be too dry, conducive to the growth of crops, human beings have to rely on her, then the lake is like a mother to raise thousands of children. But everything is not under human control, the weather is fickle, if there is a flood year, many rivers and lakes will gather to form a flood, then the flood is easy to deal with? From Yao Shunyu to contemporary times, every flood will lead to the displacement of human beings, and countless deaths and injuries will be lost, isn't it a nightmare? ”

"Understood, where are these nine lakes located? If I have the chance, I will visit them one by one. ”

"Hehe, it's good to have this idea, the great rivers and mountains are to take a good look. Yunmengze is located next to the river (Yangtze River), in the territory of Chu State, if you go to the capital of Chu State, it is very close to Yunmengze. Peng Lize is also next to the river, and it is also owned by the Chu State, but Yunmengze is in the east. Gu Quze is far south of the river, close to the sea, which is owned by Wu Guo, and Wu Guoguo is also very close to there. Nalei Xiaze is here, which belongs to the Qi country, and there is another Onozawa in its east. Na Heze and Meng Zhuze are both in the Song Kingdom, and Meng Zhuze is very close to Juyang, the capital of the Song Kingdom. Ju Yeze is in the Zhao Kingdom in the north. Youngtaek is located in South Korea. Among them, Yunmeng, Peng Li, Gu District, Daye, and Juye are the biggest, if you really want to go, the teacher suggests that you go to Daye, Guqu, and Yunmeng first, where there may be unexpected gains, but it is just a prerequisite, and your cultivation will come up. ”

"Haha, since the master said so, there must be something good left for me there, and that Zimo must go, and I can't live up to the master's good intentions." Zimo narrowed his eyes with a smile.

'Smack! There was a brain meltdown on the door of the head, "Can't you kid not say it?" Your master doesn't have any sense of mystery at all, so he knew he wouldn't tell you. ”
