Chapter 64: The Hundred Schools of Thought

Sun Qi's eyes were smart and said, "Even if you leave not long ago, a piece of news came from Linzi in the Qi Kingdom. The five-year Famous Sword Conference is about to begin, and the people of the Famous Sword Hall will be held in Linzi, Qi State. In addition to developing the Wu League in the north this time, the more important thing is to go to the Qi State to participate in this world-famous sword conference. Our predecessor, Chi Feng, is an honorary member of this Sword Hall. Anyway, the twenty famous swords that exist on the Heavenly Chosen Sword Spectrum are all honorary members of the Famous Sword Hall. ”

Chifeng's eyes were also quite solemn, and he seemed to be looking forward to this famous sword conference: "That's true, this sword hall was established by the apprentice of Tianxuanzi in the past. This time, the Famous Sword Hall was set up in Linzi of Qi State, and it was supported by the three swords of Qilu. Presumably you should have heard of the prestige of the three swords of Qilu, of course, they also have some other names, such as Kong Zhou San Sword and Shang Tang Three Swords. And these three swords are the three that are ranked in the Tianxuanzi sword spectrum, which are ranked tenth Chengying sword, ranked seventeenth with light sword, and ranked nineteenth night practice sword. And now these three swords are in the hands of Confucianism in the land of Qilu, so they are now also called the three swords of Confucianism. However, this sword-wielder is a disciple of Confucius, the spiritual leader of Confucianism, and his strength should not be underestimated. ”

Confucianist?

Wei Ziheng suddenly had some doubts, the current development of Confucianism is so rapid, and there is still some appeal in the rivers and lakes? I have studied a little about Confucianism, and I once wanted to go to Qi to visit those Confucian sages. However, this matter does not seem to be so simple, Wei Ziheng said very simply: "It seems that as far as I know, it should not be so simple." The Confucianism in the land of Qilu actively bid for this session of the Famous Sword Conference, I am afraid it means otherwise. ”

Sun Qi also heard the implication of the meaning, turned his head and said, "You mean to say that a hundred schools of thought are contending!" ”

Wei Ziheng nodded and said with great certainty: "Yes!" The hundred schools of thought have faintly begun to flourish, and this time Confucianism made such a big move, presumably in order to stand out from the hundreds of schools. The current Chinese world can be described as a group of heroes, whether it is the princes or the sons of a hundred schools, one is in the power of the state and the other is in the ideology. With such a prosperous situation, who doesn't want to be overpowered?

The Taoism founded by Lao Tzu has already begun to become a climate, and the emphasis on the unity of heaven and man, and the return to nature, have made many rulers feel the approval. Farming has a long history and is now gradually complete. The military family has always been prosperous, and now it has become extraordinary, and all countries exist, preaching different methods of war, and Wu Zizi, Sun Tzu and others are outstanding representatives. There are also Legalists who have always been looming, who have always existed in the courts of various countries, preaching the national political theory with the rule of law as the core. At the same time, in the national court or the rumors of the rivers and lakes, the famous artists have always occupied a lot of positions, they are good at verbal debates, become the diplomatic envoys of many countries and the guests of the debate in the national court, in the rivers and lakes, can also compete with words, and many of its outstanding representatives are well-versed in the righteousness of the people. In addition, there are also doctors who help the world, they are proficient in the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, take the relief of the people of the world as their own responsibility, preach the way of doctors, and have been valued by many princes and kings, and the principle of cultivation and pranayama is also taken seriously by the kings. There is also the mysterious Yin-Yang family, they and their unique concept of treating all things in heaven and earth, proposing the rotation of the five elements of yin and yang, the law of heaven and earth runs through the same, the idea of Yin-Yang family will be since ancient times the idea of mathematics and the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, and further developed, the construction of a large-scale cosmic schema, trying to explain the causes of natural phenomena and their changes in the law. ”

(Please don't be confused about the above hundred schools of thought, such as the Legalists and the Yin-Yang Schools, whose ideas actually appeared very early, but the prosperity period was mainly concentrated in the Warring States.) At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period in 456 B.C., the hundred schools of thought that appeared during this time that could influence China were mentioned above. In fact, the role of famous artists has always been relatively vague, and some of the documents recorded are some people. But it has always existed, this is an objective fact, so it is recorded in the novel, and it has a lot of influence on the rivers and lakes. As for Taoism, soldiers, Confucianism, and peasants, they have been formed, and the rest of the novel will be highlighted. As for the hundred schools of thought in history, as well as miscellaneous families and novelists, these two roles are relatively shallow, as long as they record some things, they were formed in the middle and late Warring States period, so they will not be mentioned here. As for the famous Mohists and Zonghengists in history, they still have not formed ideas with the current timeline. Mo Zhai is lobbying the rivers and lakes, and his Mohist ideas are taking shape. However, the current Guiguzi is an upright young man, and the real formation of the Zongheng family was not formed until Guiguzi entered the mountains and lived in seclusion.

To sum up, there are many schools of thought in history, and their influence is very wide, and they are simply divided, that is, the 12 schools mentioned above, and as for some other branch ideas, I will also describe them in strict accordance with some specific situations in the late Spring and Autumn Period and early Warring States period in history. )

Sun Qi didn't seem to be very interested in the Hundred Schools of Princes, but was quite interested in some of the masters who could appear at the Famous Sword Conference: "What the junior brother said is that now in this major event in the world, the Hundred Schools of Princes has become an indispensable part. It's a pity that we don't have a lot of knowledge about it, and there are some things that we can't understand in detail, so if you're interested in participating in their debates, maybe I can get you some places. ”

Wei Ziheng felt a little strange when he heard this, and finally remembered that Sun Qizu was a native of the Qi country, and presumably their ancestral home should also be quite powerful in the local area: "It's also very good to come in this way, I don't know when you plan to go to the Qi country?" ”

Chifeng drank a glass of wine, looked at Yi Yang beside him, and said extremely domineeringly: "We will stay in this Langya City for a few days, and then we will go directly north to the land of Qilu." This famous sword conference is also of great significance to me, Tianxuanzi sword spectrum has existed for more than 20 years, and there have been four famous sword conferences, the first two sessions of my master showed his might, making Yiyang Sword famous in the rivers and lakes. Last time, I happened to have some things to deal with and didn't have time to attend. This time, I can't miss it, I think Zhong Ren, who is known as the first swordsman in Vietnam, will also participate, and I will be ashamed when the time comes. ”

The Famous Sword Conference will attract countless swordsmen from all over the world to come and worship, which is a great opportunity to make a name for itself. Even those supreme masters who are hidden in the world will appear at the conference with all kinds of famous swords of extraordinary origin. The famous sword conference is also one of the most unprecedented prosperous times on the rivers and lakes, Qi as the host, but also very happy about such a prosperous era, the king of Qi personally ordered to actively organize, but also actively invited the kings of the Central Plains to come to Qi to watch this grand era.

Wei Ziheng turned his head to look at his senior brother and said slowly: "Senior brother, this is a great opportunity, you must take advantage of it!" The prestige of Qihong should be spread to the rivers and lakes. ”

Sun Qi's eyes were quite firm, and he said confidently: "In the month since you left, I have practiced swordsmanship hard, and I have learned the qi of the sword under the Chifeng seniors, and my swordsmanship has been quite exquisite. And I've managed this Chihong successfully, and with my own natural strength, I don't think I'll let my father down. ”

Wei Ziheng carefully recalled all the things that happened a month ago, it seemed that his father's appearance should have taught him some techniques for using Qi Hong, and this first sword from the cadre Mo Ye couple would still show its edge and shock Huaxia.

Qinglian was a little cute at this time watching these big men discussing the world's major events, eating there silently by herself, watching those knowledgeable people talking there, that expression was really interesting.

In the end, the wine and meat were empty, the table was full of messes, and a disciple of Wu Meng was a little drunk and began to make some noise. Wei Ziheng also blushed a little when he drank, his alcohol consumption was a little bad, and he felt a little dizzy after drinking too much, and his head was full of stars. In the end, he said simply: "If you want to go in advance, you don't have to wait for me, I may need a little time to leave here from King Yue Bushou." ”

"Good! In this way, it doesn't matter, after I stay for a day or two, I will go directly to Linzi in Qi State. See you in the capital of Qi when the time comes. Sun Qi hadn't drunk so freely for a long time, and he suddenly became a little arrogant when he spoke.

In the end, Wei Ziheng returned to the palace with the support of Qinglian, and as soon as he entered the house, he felt a little dizzy and wanted to be drowsy. Qinglian helped him and gently put him on the edge of the bed, listening to some of the wine words Wei Ziheng said.

Qinglian smiled brightly there: "This amount of wine is only a few glasses!" Seeing that our Chifeng seniors drank more than you, they still didn't move. You're ......."

Qinglian was about to leave and make him a few cups of hot tea to sober up, when suddenly Wei Ziheng stretched out his right hand, grabbed the corner of Qinglian's clothes, and muttered, "Don't go." ”

"I've always been there." Qinglian looked back at Wei Ziheng, who was leaning on the side of the bed with a red face, and laughed.

Wei Ziheng suddenly behaved a little abnormally, he grabbed Qinglian's hand again, pulled her to his side, and then suddenly approached. Wei Ziheng stroked Qinglian's slender waist with one hand, touched the back of Qinglian's head with the other, and then pulled him in front of him.

Qinglian was suddenly a little surprised, and then her face flushed, and suddenly Qinglian felt that her body was restrained into a powerful embrace, and the warm breath with a faint aroma of wine gently brushed her face. Then a warmth that she had never felt before slowly came from her lips, and Qinglian involuntarily hugged her hand around Wei Ziheng's neck.

The unfinished words were immediately drowned in a loving kiss, the slightly cold lips and tongue slid into her mouth, greedily absorbing her breath, exploring every corner vigorously, and a momentary impulse suddenly calmed the air around her. It was as if the whole world belonged to just the two of them. The body temperatures of the two blended with each other, and slowly felt the incomparably gentle breath from each other in her lips, Qinglian suddenly had some body heat, she slowly closed her eyes, immersed in this beautiful artistic conception.

Suddenly, Wei Ziheng's somewhat disobedient hand stroked Qinglian's body back and forth, as if he didn't know what he was doing. Qinglian was also hot-headed at this time, and directly fell forward to press Wei Ziheng down on the bed, greedily absorbing the temperature. Suddenly there was silence, and the birds that used to be heard had stopped.

Qinglian suddenly felt a pair of hands slowly touching up from her lower abdomen at this time, and at the moment when she touched Yufeng, Qinglian immediately came back to her senses, directly pushed Wei Ziheng away, blushed and waited for you to take off her clothes and hair, and quickly ran out and returned to her room.
