It was a heavy snowfall, and the streets and alleys in the city were already stuck in the ankles. Qin Xiaogong walked towards the city wall in the snow, and Hei Bo knew that the king was going to visit the barracks craftsmen in the urn city.

The Chinese craftsmen recruited in Liyang City had returned home a month ago, leaving only some of the craftsmen in the army to restructure a batch of very difficult fine iron weapons. Liyang City is not big, Ximen Wengcheng is even smaller, and the horse road into Wengcheng is only one car wide, but more than 1,000 craftsmen are stationed in it. Qin Xiaogong had just walked to the horse crossing, and happened to meet Che Ying, the former army commander in charge of the weapons restructuring, who led a team of soldiers to inspect it.

Qin Xiaogong inquired in detail about the craftsmen's cold protection and military food, and then walked into the urn city, and checked more than 100 military tents one by one before walking out of the urn city. Heibo, who was following from afar, noticed that Jun Shang did not return the same way, but turned into an alley. Hei Bo and Qin Feng suddenly woke up, did the king have to go to visit the old masonry Bai Dao?

Qin Xiaogong had just walked into the alley, but he suddenly stopped and was close to the stone pillar at the door of his house. "Your Majesty, be careful." Qin Feng suddenly whispered. At this time, Heibo saw a dark figure flying up the wall in the depths of the alley, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Hei Bo has been in the sea for a long time, and he is not in a hurry to follow up, but stays at the entrance of the alley. Qin Xiaogong flashed out of his hidden place and slid forward lightly, without the slightest sound of stepping on the snow. Qin Feng also turned into an afterimage and followed Qin Xiaogong closely, ready to make a move at any time. When he came to the wall of the house, he flew up to the ridge of the house, and looked into the courtyard, and saw that the main room of the courtyard was brightly lit, and a man with long hair and a long beard was flipped through a large book reflected in the white cloth of the window lattice; There was a dark shadow lurking under the window, apparently listening to the movement in the window.

Suddenly, a long black shadow under the window jumped up, and a short sword flew towards the person reading in the window! The figure of the scholar in the window did not move, and with a slight swing of a large pen in his hand, there was a crisp sound of copper and iron clashing, and the short sword flew out of the window and disappeared into the snow. The man in black missed, and jumped from the courtyard to the roof, trying to escape from the courtyard. But he didn't expect Qin Xiaogong to stand up, and the scabbard was pushed out flat. The man in black exclaimed, and one stumbled into the snow in the courtyard. Qin Xiaogong lay still again, wanting to see how his master would deal with the assassin.

The reader in the room heard the voice, slowly stood up, and opened the door and went out. He stood on the steps under the corridor with the light on his back, but Qin Xiaogong couldn't see his face clearly. I only heard him laugh and laugh for a while: "It's just that the Tao is not the same, between schools, murder and robbery of books, isn't it ridiculous to laugh at the world?" Don't get in the way of the rooftop Coats, let this friend go. ”

The man in black, who was embarrassed in the snow, bowed deeply, flew onto the wall, and disappeared into the snowy night.

The scholar smiled and said, "It's an honor to come on a snowy night." Please come to the humble house for a while. "Qin Xiaogong on the roof is like a big black eagle, quietly falling into the snow in the courtyard. Qin Feng also hurriedly followed. The scholar under the corridor stretched out his hand and saluted: "Distinguished guests, please come in to talk." Qin Xiaogong arched his hand and said, "Thank you so much." Then he shook the snowflakes and went into the house. Qin Feng wanted to wait outside the door, but the master arched his hand and said, "This distinguished guest should also enter." Qin Feng stopped refusing and walked in.

The room is not large, but it is warm and tidy. The host let the guests into the inner room with a wooden partition. Under the bright light, it can be seen that this is a small study. The bamboo and wooden frames on three sides, the four walls are white, and there are no ornaments. In the middle, a natural wooden table, a bright red brazier with thick charcoal is set next to the growing wooden table.

The big book on the wooden case had just been closed, and judging from the thickness and blackness, Qin Xiaogong knew that it was a book copied on sheepskin, and there were three fist-sized characters on the book cover-Guiguzi! Next to the book, there is a large pen more than two feet long, but it is a rare bronze pen barrel. If it weren't for the cold wind that had just pierced the window lattice hole pierced by the short sword, this little study would have been as warm as spring.

Qin Xiaogong didn't expect that the master of the study was actually an old man with white hair, white beard and white eyebrows, he was dressed in a white linen robe, tall and thin, and his bright and deep eyes exuded a kind of strange charm. Qin Xiaogong couldn't help but bow deeply: "The snowy night is abrupt, please forgive me." The old man smiled and said: "Wouldn't it be a good place for guests to come on a snowy night and gather to talk?" Childe, please be seated. ”

"Father, is there anything wrong?" With the voice, a girl in white floated into the study.

The old man smiled: "An uninvited guest visited, and this son helped to invite him away." ”

The young lady in white smiled and said, "Thank you for your help." ”

Qin Xiaogong hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to be." My predecessors were fine, but I became a thief. ”

Old man: "Childe, this is the old man's granddaughter, her name is Xuanqi." The grandson has seen the childe. ”

Xuan Qi arched his hand again and said, "Xuan Qi has seen Childe. Dare to ask the son's surname? ”

Filial piety wanted to speak, but it seemed that it was inappropriate, so he stopped again. At this time, the old man smiled heartily: "Unexpected meeting Junjie, this is a godsend, why should you be famous?" Qi'er served tea. ”

The girl said, "Childe waits." He set up a clay pot on the brazier to boil water, and at the same time neatly cleaned up the clay pot and cup.

Xiao Gong said respectfully: "With a pen, the predecessors of Fang Cai made the strong enemy retreat in the face of difficulties, which can be called a master in the world. I was fortunate to see my predecessors unexpectedly. ”

"The profundity of this predecessor's internal strength is not below me, and it is even surpassed." Qin Feng thought about this old man's move in his heart, and his heart turned turbulent. He originally thought that his martial arts were world-famous, but since he came to the world of the Warring States, he first met Hei Bo's martial arts that were not under him, and then he met this strange old man. And the strength of this old man Qin Feng can't see through, if he really makes a move, Qin Feng has a chance of winning at most three percent, of course, this is under the premise of not using hot weapons.

"Childe is a fallacious old man. The old man has to meet the son, and it is about the will of God. ”

"Seniors, do you really believe in the will of heaven?"

"Heaven is far-reaching, humane and intuitive. Heaven is the foundation, humanity is the end. Xuanzhi is the end, and there is a customs clearance place. ”

"Seniors, isn't it Taoist learning? Which? Xiaogong's eyes turned to the big parchment, and the old man couldn't help but laugh heartily.

At this time, the tea in the brazier clay pot was already boiling, and Xuan Qi gently and quickly poured the strong tea into the three pottery bowls and placed them in front of the three people.

The old man raised the bowl and said with a smile: "Guests come on a snowy night, make wine with weak tea, and talk about it on the stove, it's fast." Xiaogong raised his glass and replied with a smile: "Walking on a snowy night, you have to meet a master, fast and fast." Qin Feng also silently raised the pottery bowl and was silent.

Xuan Qi was adding charcoal, boiling tea and pouring tea while mending the windows, and seemed to be listening to their conversation, but he was not busy at all.

"This distinguished guest seems to have a lot of martial arts attainments." The old man's gaze suddenly turned to Qin Feng and said with a smile.

Qin Feng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and at a glance, he could see that his internal cultivation was profound, which was an extremely terrifying thing. Especially under the premise that Qin Feng's martial arts are very strong.

"The seniors praised it falsely." Qin Feng hurriedly said humbly.

Xiaogong asked: "The predecessors read "Guiguzi" at night, and the later generations speculated that the uninvited guests also came for "Guiguzi". Dare to ask the seniors, but how tall is the god of the Guigu? ”

The old man nodded and smiled, "What does Childe have of Guiguzi's opinion?" ”

"There are hundreds of schools of thought today, and the future generations only know a little about the surface. I heard that the ghost valley god was unfathomable, and he once taught apprentices in the Tianmen cave of Chu State. His disciples seem to be mysterious. Those who joined the WTO, in their later lives, only heard of Pang Juan and Sun Bin. I don't know much about Sun Bin and don't dare to comment on it. However, Pang Juan, the general of the Wei State, seems to have many things that dare not be praised. Guiguzi is a kind of knowledge, and the later generations don't know anything, so they still ask their predecessors for advice. ”

The old man sighed: "Speaking of Guiguzi, it is really a vast ocean, and it is difficult to describe it all. Even if it is a student, it is also a person who learns from each other, and does not know each other, and it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons during the period. ”

"One person learns?" Xiao Gong looked at the old man in surprise, "Is there such a profound and strange person in the world?" ”

The old man nodded and smiled, "Although Confucius said that he advocated teaching students according to their aptitude, almost all of his students had the same taste. Guiguzi is different. Each of his students is the essence of the family, the world's known Pang Juan Sun Bin is a soldier, and the soon-to-be-out Su Qin Zhang Yi is a vertical and horizontal family, and many students of Legalism, Yin and Yang, and Taoism are still unknown to the world. These students are all talented people who Guiguzi has searched all over the world, and even small children were brought into the mountain by Mr. What is the study? It is determined by the master according to his temperament, interests, will, and talents, and they are all taught alone or in the same school, and those who are not of the same discipline never communicate with each other. How many disciples Guiguzi has, probably no one will ever know. ”

"In this way, Guiguzi has no knowledge of his own?"

"No, no." The old man laughed and shook his head, "There is indeed no ghost in the world, but Guiguzi has reformed every discipline." The Legalists of Guiguzi's disciples are very different from Li Kui, Shen Dao, and Shen Buxian, and the soldiers are also very different from Sun Wu and Wu Qi. Why? It is because Guiguzi has infiltrated a realistic and change-seeking and maverick innovative spirit to each student. Every time you learn something, you will get new results. This point will be magnified in the most peculiar Legalists and Zongheng families. This is about Guiguzi knowledge. ”

"Guigu Shensheng, the highest person in the world!" Xiaogong couldn't help but be fascinated.

The old man stroked his white beard and said leisurely: "The old man knows that it is because of his deep relationship with the ghost gate, but he is not a member of the Guiguzi Gate. Because the old man is indifferent by nature, he can't cultivate the study of entering the WTO to the extreme, so he can only follow his husband to run around for business. If you specialize in learning, how can you know irrelevant things? ”

Xiao Gong pondered silently, and said: "Dare to ask the seniors, why did the other party assassin not understand the crime of the official government, in order to eradicate future troubles?" But instead let him go? ”

"How much can the government manage everything in the world? The old man travels all over the world and sues officials at every turn, which is inconvenient. The assassin did not rob money and steal property, but intended to write this book, and he failed, so what is the use of suing the official? ”

"The predecessors were very worried, and the later generations benefited a lot. Today, I should have consulted my predecessors about a major event, but the night is coming to an end, and I will wait for the next generation to visit and ask for advice, and I hope that my predecessors will not shirk. ”

The old man didn't ask anything, nor did he excuse himself, he just nodded and smiled: "People who are destined should get together in the end." ”

At this time, the sound of "clicking" snow was clearly heard outside the gate. The white-clothed girl Xuanqi smiled: "Father, uncle, there are guests here." Xiaogong listened attentively and said with a smile: "Little sister, this is my friend." Seniors, juniors say goodbye. When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that the sky was slightly white, but the snow was still blowing.
