Zou Ji walked for a day, feeling tired, he looked into the distance, not far away was the city wall, he quickened his pace.

When I entered the city, I came to a cake shop on the street, asked for mutton soup and cakes, and I took out the only broken silver on my body and gave it to the shopkeeper, and went into the house and fell asleep.

Originally, Zou Ji went to study in the Confucian Mansion of Lu from Qi State, and was employed under Zisimen. In the past two years, Zou Ji, like other disciples, learned rituals and music every day, and practiced swords and horses.

Zou Ji's family was poor, and he wanted to get ahead as soon as possible, but there were countless brothers and sisters, all of whom were the same as himself, and he sought official positions several times, but was turned away.

On this day, Zou Ji saw that Mr. was talking with Mo Poultry Slippery Mud, so he approached and listened.

Mr. Impressions. "If you don't follow the etiquette, the etiquette of the world will fall apart, resulting in continuous fighting. The wise man should be taught to understand the way, and the people will know the shame, so that the common people can be comfortable. ”

Poultry slippery is also a big talk about both love and non-attack. "I have suffered from the war since I was a child, and I vowed to eliminate the war in the world. I will persuade the kings of all countries to focus on domestic affairs and love non-aggression. For example, the kings of all countries can take charge of their own affairs, formulate ritual laws, revise criminal laws, make sincere sacrifices, persuade farmers to promote commerce, relieve difficulties and help the poor, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment, and obey the law, regardless of the affairs of other countries. In particular, we should not devote our own country's exhausting national strength to meet other countries at every turn, waste money and money, and kill people. As long as the monarchs of various countries concentrate on developing their own national strength, wars will be eliminated, and all countries will live in peace and develop together. ”

"Last time Wei Du saw Guiguzi, a friend of Juzi, what he talked about is the unification of the world, and it is novel to be compatible with a hundred schools, I don't know if Mr. Guigu is still in Wei?" Zisi asked.

"Mr. Guigu went to Chu State early, Mr. Zisi didn't know anything, and Mr. Guigu's childhood friend Wu Zhu was after Wu Qi. The king of Chu inherited Wu Qi for his grace, rewarded the two officials, and Mr. Guigu subdued the water god in the Luo River, and the Chu family was well-known. But later, after Mr. Guigu persuaded the king of Chu to stop the invasion of Qi without success, he abandoned the official with his beloved and left. I heard from the apprentice that he had made a detour to Daqin, reconciled Qin and Wei, and now returned to Yunmeng Mountain. ”

"Wherever Mr. Guigu goes, he is indeed famous in the government and the opposition, Zi Si saw it, and also confirmed that the name and reality complement each other, if you are lucky, you must go north to Yunmeng, and then ask for advice!"

"Mr. Zisi really has this trip, and he will definitely accompany him."

Zou Ji listened to Xianbu and Bird Slip's words this time, and his heart was unhappy for a long time. In particular, he said that Guiguzi was erudite in ancient and modern times, and was exploring the road to unify the army, and he was even more excited.

So, he found a place to live in Yuhuali and told Yuhuali that he wanted to go to Yunmeng Mountain to learn from Guiguzi.

The bird smiled in the slippery. "You are a disciple of Kongqiu, I'm afraid that Mr. Guigu will not accept it! Last time in Weidu, Mr. Guigu once said that there are 3,000 disciples of Confucius, and 2 out of 70 sages, why are all the candidates and ministers not among them! It seems that there is no class of teaching, and it is not beneficial to agree at this time! In the battle of troubled times, there should be such a genius. ”

Zou Ji tended to kneel. "The disciple wants to learn the art of a genius, and I hope that Mr. will show you where the ghost valley lives!"

"If you really have a heart, Mr. Guiya may be able to take you in. You can take Yanbei Yunmeng Mountain, Mr. Guigu settled here, whether you can see it depends on the chance! ”

After Zou Ji came back, he packed his bags, said goodbye to his husband and his senior brothers, and sold the only valuable things he had, and embarked on the road to the north.

After the armistice between Qi and Yan, the two sides were still on guard, the border peaks and fires faced each other, and the patrolling army returned from time to time. Zou Ji had to go around and around to hide from right and wrong. I finally bypassed the border, but there was not much left of the entanglement.

Zou Ji slept for two days, and when he woke up, he felt empty in his abdomen and his muscles and intestines sounded. He took his baggage and walked out of the store, looking that it was just noon. But the spring in the north is naturally late, and the breeze blows, and the body shivers.

He added all the clothes in his bag, asked for directions to Yuyang County, and walked out of the city with the only short sword. He calculated in his heart that he would be able to reach Yunmeng in five days, and with a burst of joy, he accelerated his pace.

The more you go, the later it gets, the softer your body becomes, Zou Ji knows that he should find something to eat, but this wild mountain is not strong in spring, the grass and trees have just seen green, where is like the Ludi wild, there are mountain fruits everywhere! He raised his eyes to see that there were no villages in the plains of Nuoda, and as Mr. said, the land of Yan was vast and sparsely populated.

Helplessly, he forced himself to walk forward. Suddenly, he noticed a hairy willow bush in front of him, winding away. He knew that it must be where the great river was, so he walked a few steps through the willow forest, which had just turned green. Sure enough, a large river flowed slowly, and he ran down to the riverbed, picked up the water in his hand, and drank it sweetly.

With his spirits, he thought about how to catch some more fish to eat. Together, they found more than a dozen pairs of eyes glaring at themselves, and when they looked closely, they were not robbers or officers and soldiers, but like a group of slaves.

He put the drawn sword back and smiled kindly. "I'm passing through here, I'm hungry, and I'm looking for something to eat!"

A strong man with a wooden stick waved his hand, and a group of people came out of the bushes. "You're also a vassal who ran out?"

Zou Ji understood that they were slaves who had escaped from the nobles' homes, and it was not uncommon to see them along the way. After they escaped, they gathered into a group of people and settled into villages, and some even formed a team to confront the officers and soldiers.

"I'm from Lu and want to go to Yunmeng Mountain." Zou Ji hurriedly explained so as not to misunderstand. "I'm also poor, I want to learn art, and I hope my brother will give me some food, so I'm in a hurry."

Only then did the enemy gather the sticks, shovels, and other things in their hands. Kindly brought out the food and let him eat it, and they themselves set up firewood and made cereal rice.

While eating, Zou Ji chatted with several leader-like figures. Only then did I find that not far away there were many caves and spear huts, in which both men and women and children lived. There were also horses and sheep, and in the forks of the river, a few wooden boats were parked on the water.

Zou Ji stayed for two days, and he liked the people here more and more. Here, there is no oppression, no plunder, men fish and open the land, and women graze and cook. Several elderly people distributed the goods, and each household spoke sincerely. He thought, if the princes and the world are like this, why do they need those who are powerful and blessed to manage, and educate the originally good people into greedy and selfish, the weak and the strong, and deceitful people. But it won't be peaceful here for long, and those royal officers and soldiers, and noble warriors will capture them at any time.

On this day, Zou Ji was leaving, and several elders were reluctant. They brought him enough food and put on thicker clothes to send him far away. Zou Ji was grateful, but he didn't have half a penny on him, so he untied the short sword, gave it to them, and then walked north.

Faintly, he saw a pair of beautiful eyes looking at him from a distance.

Looking up from the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, the misty clouds and mist surround the peaks, and the cave door on the mountainside is faintly visible. It is the spring season, the mountains are full of pines and cypresses, and the ancient trees and strange stones on the side of the road. The path up the hill winds up the valley, and a clear stream and path winds and hangs upside down from the top of the mountain.

The sun shone on the dense pine forests, and the mountains were lush and green. Purple-red azaleas, whitening apricot blossoms, and many infamous small flowers dress up the rolling Yunmeng Mountain as a rich goddess. The folds between the peaks are all slowly fluttering mountain streams, like long white silk swaying.

The flowers and grass are green on the side of the road, and the birds in the forest are singing. The trail peaks and loops, and in the flat place, by the stream, you can sometimes see a small pool like a mirror, and a few swans stop their red claws in the water, stretch their necks to look at pedestrians, and sometimes make a few clucking cheers, as if welcoming the arrival of their masters.

In the steep place, the stone steps are 10,000 steps, like a ladder towering; The creek turns into a waterfall and cascades down from the top of the cliff, carving a bottomless deep pool at the foothold. The waterfall falls into the pool, rolling up thousands of piles of snow, and the snowflakes splash on the stone wall, carving immortal strange paintings.

The mountain scenery is myriad, the mystery is endless, and the famous mountain resort is like walking in a fairyland, and the heart is relaxed and happy.

Guigu stood on the stone steps at the entrance of the Guigu Cave, stretched his arms lightly, absorbed the mountain incense, bent his legs slowly, leaned forward and backwards, and walked the steps of Yin and Yang Taiji. His eyes were slightly closed, but he could feel that the five dragons in his body were full of spirits, and the gods were complacent. In the distance, he could see his wandering figure on the stone steps and the waterfalls cascading around him, the thatched hut of Gongsun Martingale at the bottom of the valley and him sitting quietly in front of the house, as well as the two flocks of sheep on the back of the mountain and the figures of Le Yi and Bai Qi playing, and the figures of Zhu'er and Wenxiu walking around drinking cigarettes.

This is a new feeling after leaving the customs, and Guigu happily lets the gods wander, which must be what Mr. said "from the gods". He wanted to go further, but he was always blocked by the sea of clouds and mist, so he could only move around the Yunmeng Wonderland. He tried again, but he only reached the second stone of Guigu on the top of the cliff of Guigu, and a huge invisible force pressed him into the stone, and then the transparent stone mirror allowed him to overlook everything around Yunmeng Mountain.

He knew that his cultivation had not yet reached the higher realm required by his husband, and he had no desire or action. In the face of everything in the world of the princes, he can't do this, which should only be done after he is virtuous and virtuous. And to be a great virtue and a great sage, what is in front of you is a chaotic world, and Mr. will not instruct, you have to rely on your own wisdom.

Guigu regained his momentum, stood up steadily, opened his eyes, and walked down the steps.

He already has a way to cultivate himself to great virtue and sage in this worldly matter, but he has to practice it step by step. He counted on his fingers, nodded, and shook again.

Seeing Guigu coming, Gongsun Ying hurriedly put down the "Law Sutra" in his hand and stood up, and bowed. "Sir is here! Sir, take a look at the house built by a few of us! Gongsun Martingale pointed proudly. This is mine, with the north facing the sun, and the windows are also installed, in case of wind and rain, I can remove the window panels, and read on the kang in the house. As he spoke, he untapped the plank and opened the door again. Mr. Lu take a look! Quiet and warm. ”

Guiguzi looked at it, smiled slightly, and did not judge.

He pointed to a thatched hut halfway up the mountain. "That's Bai Qi, where Le Yi lives?"

Gongsun Ying laughed. "It was those two children who did it, I suggested it here, but he didn't listen, he had to go to the high place of the dangerous rock to erect this thing that was not a house or a house, but he saved his strength, but he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the strong wind. But don't worry, Sir, Martingale and Zhu'er and Wenxiu have thought about it for them, and they won't be exposed to the wind and rain. Rest assured, sir! Martingale is an elder disciple, and he will be considerate! ”

Ghost Valley refers to the upper reaches of the stream. "There must be Wenxiu, where the beads live! Let's go, take a look! It's time to eat, too. We don't need them to deliver it today, we still have to entertain guests! ”

"Guests? Sir..."Gongsun Ying was confused, but when he saw that Sheng had left, he could only stop and ask questions and follow.

"Sir, you haven't commented on the martingale's house?" Gongsun Ying walked a few steps and caught up with Guiguzi.

"The habitat of the body is inherited from heaven to earth. The dwelling place of the heart, all things in heaven and earth. How can the body and mind be judged together! The change of yin and yang is uncertain, and it needs to be changed after the stars move before you can see it! ”

Guiguzi smiled, he wanted to tell the shortcomings of Gongsun Yinglu, but looking at his pride and dialogue, Le Yi and the two of them set up a position in the house, or wanted him to realize himself.
