Chapter 54

The news that Guiguzi came to Dongyu Village did not go away, and the villagers rushed to take fruits, cooked food, and took their children to gather in the compound where Le Yi lived to greet Guiguzi.

There are more than 100 people in more than a dozen households that have not been disturbed for many years, and the men in each family are thriving, and new houses have been built. On the pasture, there are herds of cattle and sheep, and in the village, chickens and ducks are crowing, full of vitality. The villagers knew that it was Guiguzi who was here, and if the officials did not come to persecute the servants, the bandits did not dare to come to the village. Moreover, Guiguzi distributed all the materials sent by his admirers and disciples, so that they could live a worry-free life.

Guiguzi and Zhu'er, two white-haired old men, are still fairy-like and coarse-clothed shoes. They returned the favor and sent away a group of villagers who came to congratulate them, and then sat on the chairs in the courtyard and talked and laughed with Le Yi, Zhang Yi, and Xu Fu.

Behind, there were several weak-crowned teenagers standing in the distance, they were the sons of Le Yi, Zhang Yi, and Bai Qi, who were looking at Guiguzi and Zhu'er with reverence.

Guiguzi has been practicing since Zhu'er retreated, and then went down the mountain alone and traveled around the world. Along the way, what I saw and heard, I sighed. The princes' rebellion has been shameful for the people of the world, and the people have done it, and the road has been clear, and it will not be long before the world will end the war and unify the country. After coming back, the beads who talked about it and went out of the customs were all happy that the world went on like this.

On this day, Xu Fu came to see Mr., and after bowing, he happily took out the elixir he had practiced and handed it to Mr. "Sir, the disciple picks the clouds and dreams of the fairyland and herbs, with the help of Xiao Jiao, on the day of refining the ninety-nine, he will become this pill, and please give me advice!"

Guiguzi took it and looked at it, smiled and nodded. "You have experienced failure, and you have finally learned this technique, and you are happy for your teacher!"

Xu Fu was even more excited after hearing this. "Sir, the disciple will send this pill to Mr. Yu, and when it is completed again in the future, he will send it to his wife!"

"Xu Fu has this filial piety, thank you for the teacher and Zhu'er!" Guiguzi smiled. "You should know that this pill is only for prolonging life, and it is suitable for people with Taoism. And the fantasy and skewed stealing will only hasten death, so use it with caution! ”

"Disciple understands!" Xu Fu bowed again. "Sir, the disciple has something unclear, although the disciple and Senior Brother Maomeng have both practiced this technique, why don't you see Senior Brother Dan?"

"You two are of the same sect, but your desires are not similar. When you refine the elixir, you are using it for others and cultivating your own virtues. And the heart pill refined by Mao Meng, absorbing all things and all kinds of qi, absorbing heaven and earth is oblique in the body, helping the spiritual fire, refining and extracting, once it becomes a pill, the immortal body has gone! ”

"Disciple, Mr. Xie!"

"Xu Fu, the cultivation avenue, the sect is the same lineage, and the techniques are different." Guiguzi smiled. "It's time for you to go down the mountain and cultivate yourself!"

"Mr. has taught hundreds of disciples, and now only me and Senior Brother Mao are here, how can I not accompany Mr. and be idle alone!" He wept. "Xu Fu has been in Yunmeng Wonderland since he was born, and he regards Mr. Guigu and Zhu'er as parents, and his disciples will never go down the mountain!"

Guiguzi wrenched his face. "Why don't you say anything! Guigu teaches you the art industry, that is, it is used by the common people, why deceive yourself with selfish desires. In this way, wouldn't it be wrong for the Ghost Valley to cultivate the heart of virtue and escape into the gate of the Great Dao! ”

Zhu'er stepped forward to help Xu Fu up. "Your mother got the land, and she is the one who saw me and my husband grow up, and my husband and Zhu'er are always grateful for this. Teach your karma, you have your own magic machine in it, you have achieved your skills, and you will definitely need the world's self-cultivation. Future... You can also escape into the avenue, and future generations will admire! ”

Xu Fu wiped away his tears and nodded firmly. "The disciple understands the painstaking efforts of Mr. and his wife, Xu Fuding should be cautious in self-cultivation!" He looked at Guiguzi. "When will the disciple leave for the mountain?"

Guiguzi counted his fingers and smiled. "The day after tomorrow! As a teacher, I will accompany you to Dongyu first. ”

Xu Fu was happy and went back to clean up everything. On that day, Mr. Guojian and Zhu'er were already waiting at the intersection.

They went to Dongyu Village together, saw that Zhang Yi was also there, and brought a son of his own, a son of his own.

Zhang Yi just came here a few days ago. On that day, he took his family out of the Xianyang City Gate, resigned from the ministers of the same hall who saw him off, and came to the east. Bai Qi and his eldest son were already waiting in the distance, he told a few words, gave gifts, and said goodbye to Zhang Yi in tears.

When Zhang Yi returned to his hometown, he still saw that the old home was still alive, and although it had been through several wars, it was still intact. He didn't disturb the government, privately invited craftsmen, simply repaired it, and settled the house, and then took Bai Qi's son to Yunmeng. I didn't know that my child was a good son of Bai Qi, the same age, so Zhang Yi also persuaded his wife to bring the second weak crown boy to Yunmeng.

Zhang Yi saw that Xu Fu was dressed in a Taoist uniform and brought luggage, so he already understood. "Senior Brother Xu is going down the mountain this time, what do you want to do?"

Xu Fu gave his hand. "Xu Fu wants to travel first and taste the famous mountain herbs. I heard that the alchemy of the Taoist family is different, and I want to know some about it first. Later! The younger brother goes with the flow. ”

"If you go to Hexi, don't let the junior brother pass through the door!" Zhang Yi said with a smile. "Look at the junior brother now, Zhang Yi is so envious!"

"Senior Brother Zhang is polite, Senior Brother has already paid homage to the prime minister, and he has won the best of the people, what else is there to envy?" Xu Fu said with a smile. "I'm afraid that my senior brother is laughing at Xu Fu, and I won't be able to meet in this life, right?"

"How dare you! How dare you! Zhang Yi was busy retracting her smile and was serious. How could the senior brother laugh shamefully! When the senior brothers were playing in the mountains, it was inevitable that there would be jokes. Look! He held his gray beard in his hand. This is already the body of the last year, how can there be nonsense. He looked up at the mountain peak and sighed. Senior brother is thinking, a trip in life, whether it is panic or mediocrity, it is always the same. Just like back then, the senior brother went up the mountain from here, and after dozens of years, he came here again, what he gained and what he lost! He turned his gaze to Xu Fu. I really envy my junior brother's uniform and open-minded chest! ”

"If Senior Brother Zhang has this intention, why don't you also travel with Senior Brother Xu, so as not to be miserable!" Le Yi said with a smile.

"Alas! If this is the case, why bother yourself. Zhang Yi pointed behind him. Look! This single person, there are also a few people in the family, who eat and drink every day, how dare you want to travel! He smiled wryly. Zhang Yi walked all over the world with his legs, and he was just around the edge of the East China Sea! Savor the world, like a corner of cloud dreams! Don't swim. ”

"Where the senior brother travels, they are all in the royal court's official mansion, and Xu Fu goes, I am afraid that it is the mountains, rivers and wilderness, and what I see and feel is different!" Xu Fu said with a smile.

"What Senior Brother Xu said is extremely true!" Le Yi continued. "Just as the senior brother led the troops to arrive, although there are mountains, rivers, and cities, and others talk about beauty, I really only look at the benefits of using soldiers! And so it is with men, when others give each other salutes, I do hold them with a spear. The same is true of the royal court, Senior Brother Zhang looked at the royal court and made achievements in it, and Le Yi saw the royal court and destroyed it with soldiers. From this point of view, the mind is different, and the perception of the same thing is different. ”

"Senior Brother Le is young, but he knows you uniquely." Zhang Yi said with a smile. "Senior Brother Le still has a place to be used, don't be influenced by Zhang Yi and lose your ambition! Okay, let's not talk about landscapes, let's talk about your Yan country! He looked at Le Yi. Do you know it or not? Senior Brother Bai Qi returned to the capital of Qin and said that Senior Brother Le had destroyed the Qi Kingdom, what was the state of King Qin? ”

"It must be unpleasant!" Le Yi said lightly.

Zhang Yi frowned. "Why do you think so? King Qin is really unhappy. He smiled. The ministers are suspicious, Qi and Qin are strong, and they are opponents in the future, and now let Yan Guo help destroy them, congratulations! How could King Qin be like this? ”

"I'll tell you!" Le Yi's face was full of shame. "Qin is a strong soldier, not afraid of Qi's soldiers, but afraid of Yan's people's hearts. Since Su Qin's senior brother is the prime minister, the upper can make the king of Qin let the sage inherit the unification, the lower can make the people equal, send troops to know that the family is the country, and return to the master can promote cultivation and business. How can such a popular heart and the principle of the Great Dao not be feared? Pity! Le Yi was a little helpless and shook his head. If Senior Brother Su is alive, Yan Wangting will not be a good utilitarian person. ”

"Senior Brother Le has not attacked for three years, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble. Have you ever thought that above the royal court, who can think about things for a long time, are all eager for quick success and quick profit, and strive for fame? "Zhang Yi is slow, but the words are deep." At that time, Zhang Yi and King Qin were also afraid that after the senior brother took Qi, he would use troops to the Wei State. Wei Si is a remnant sheep, you will not waste your efforts to get it. Senior brother thought, that is Qin's fat, how can you be allowed to get it, but Qin faces the battlefields of Chu and Zhao, and can't take Wei, how can Qin Wangting be quiet? He looked at Le Yi. If Senior Brother is like this, the world will never be the way it is now, and Senior Brother has also lost his reputation! ”

"Although Senior Brother Zhang's words are reasonable, Le Yi has a different opinion." Le Yi sat up straight, he knew it was time to talk about it. Many people don't understand his hard work, including King Yan, otherwise how can he exchange himself. But in the end, it turned out that without the favor of my Le Yi Qi people, how could the Yan army retreat with his whole body, and why didn't the Qi army take advantage of the victory to attack. He looked at Guiguzi, Mr. still closed his eyes slightly, and he turned to Zhang Yi again. "On the day when the senior brother brought his own troops, he agreed with the law first, and if a soldier robbed the people and killed innocent people indiscriminately, the military law should be killed. The Yan army's great victory over the Qi soldiers had the merit of Senior Brother Su's cooperation with all the candidates, and it was also the disaster of Qi's unprovoked destruction of the Song Dynasty. When the junior brother didn't see that when the Song Realm attacked Qi, even the women and children sent food, why not? Senior brother should know. When the Yan army entered Qidi, it was possible to attack the capital of Qi without dividing troops to suppress the people, and not to enter the city to rob. Why didn't you storm the last three cities? The Tian clan lives in it, and has been gracious for a long time, and everyone is willing to follow, vowing to live and die with the city! Le Yi sighed. It is also the people's heart! Le Yi besieged but did not attack, which is really a long-term strategy for Yan State. In the land occupied, the people paid food and donations, but there was no resistance, but within the three cities, there was a growing shortage. At this time, the strong attack will arouse the anger of the people, and the Yan army will also be attritional. Qi is a big country, even if the whole territory returns to Yan, it is difficult to draw more soldiers. Therefore, I want to be grateful to all people, and I will not leave any troubles, so I will wait for a long time. As a matter of fact, Tian Dan had already wavered and sent envoys to negotiate with me many times. I don't want to, after I left, the Yan army attacked and killed civilians for no reason, so that the whole territory Qi people resisted. The single Tian's fire bull formation is not a decisive weapon! He looked at Zhang Yi. Now it seems that Le Yi has no remorse, but he is comforted! ”

"Senior brother is benevolent, it's really a blessing for Yan!" Zhang Yi nodded. "It's a pity that although King Yan pretends to be benevolent, he can't escape suspicion and the same disease, which is also the sad place for the monarch and the minister. Like my Qin Gang, Bai Qi killed 80,000 Chu prisoners, but the King of Qin praised his merits! But if you are benevolent, you should know that the remaining harm will be a hundred years. This is also the sad place of the monarch and the minister. He saw Guiguzi's face unhappy, and he knew that he couldn't talk about it anymore. It's all gone, don't care. Does Senior Brother still want to go out of the mountain in the future? ”

"I didn't want to get involved in the dispute anymore, but now that Senior Brother Xu is gone, Le Yi is firm in this idea!" Le Yi looked back at a few teenagers. "I also want to inherit the sacred heart of Mr. and teach here, it is enough!"

Guiguzi opened his eyes and looked at Le Yi, without words.

Pearls smiled. "Le Yi has this idea, it's not bad!" She looked at Zhang Yi. "It's a great blessing that you can get out of it all right! Mr. often thinks about Gongsun Marting, Pang Juan, and Su Qin, if things are not extreme, how can life and death turn around, if there is often the idea of retreating bravely, how can there be a road of no return! She was pityful. Mr. feels that the disciple's skill is super strong, and the Taoist heart is light. In fact, what the gentleman hopes is that although the sons of the people are powerful, they should return to the Tao, but now they do not see the people who have returned. It seems that the world is full of temptations for wealth and fame, the natural enemy of the Tao! ”

"What my mother taught!" Le Yi gave gifts, and Zhang Yi was also busy giving gifts.

"Zhang Yi! Tell us about today's trend! Guiguzi's mouth did not move, and the sound was already made.

"Disciple Zhi, Mr. Zhi, has just returned from traveling in the world, and he doesn't dare to talk wildly in front of him!" Zhang Yi guessed that Mr. must have come to a conclusion. "Disciple... Although the nations travel, they are only allowed to make friends with the royal court, and they are bluffing! ”

"I've been in phase for many years, and I've learned rhetoric." Guiguzi opened his eyes and looked at him. "Speculation is a teacher!"

"Disciple doesn't dare!" Zhang Yi knew that her husband's eyes could see through her heart. "The disciple thought that among the seven kingdoms, there was only one strong left, and that was Qin. King Qin used the strategy of his disciples to unite horizontally, first allied with Chu and attacked Korea. Then with Wei Alliance, attack Chu. Now only Zhao and Yan are left, Zhao has become a lonely sheep, although Yan has a chance, he has lost it, and he can only wait for submission. ”

"How does Le Yi see the trend of the world?" Guiguzi didn't open his eyes.

The disciple agrees with Senior Brother Zhang's analysis, and the slight difference is that if Yan and Zhao join forces to resist Qin, there will also be a stalemate. If the time is long, there will be war in Qindi, and the world should be unified by Yan and Chu to last for a long time! Le Yi said according to his thoughts.

"Why?" Guiguzi looked at Le Yi.

"Qin is strong from changing the law, the means of changing the law are cool, and the most in the country. Qin should have been changed in due time before it could be used in the world. Now the land occupied by Qin, not to obey the king of Qin, but to fear Qin's law and strong soldiers, Qin's rule is contrary to the avenue. The state of Chu has a long history, and after Wu Qi changed the law, the people have made up their minds, and the Chu people are bold and follow nature, which is actually the principle of the road. Although suppressed by Qin's strong soldiers, he will have the heart of rebellion for a long time. King Yan Zizhao used Su Qinshi as the prime minister, all according to the law of the avenue taught by Mr., first to please the people, enrich the people, and then encourage the people. In the long run, the people take the world as their own responsibility, and the road is beginning to be completed. If it can compete with other countries for a long time, its virtue will make the world subjugated, and the unity will last for a long time! ”

"Senior Brother Le's analysis is also correct!" Zhang Yi smiled. "But Senior Brother forgot, after several years of confrontation between Senior Brother and Senior Brother Su, the nations have been divided and divided, and the grievances have been completed, such as after a flock of sheep fighting for grass, who will believe in the word covenant. In addition, the king of Qin will no longer give respite to the nations, and the Bai Qi army is not as sparse as the original generals. Now, he has 400,000 black-clad soldiers under his control, and everywhere he goes, he is like a bamboo. Today, the King of Qin has secretly sent Bai Qi to Zhao Bian City, I am afraid that if the Qin army comes to Yan, it will not be too long! "Zhang Yi takes a look at Le Yi." Senior brother, don't worry about Yan anymore, Qin Yitong is not bad! ”

"But Qin may not last long, and if there is chaos again, won't it also harm the people!" Le Yi looked at Guiguzi, hoping to find the answer.

Zhang Yi didn't argue, let Mr. Cha also want to hear Mr. Comment.

Guiguzi put down the teacup and smiled slightly. "The comments of the two sons are both reasonable and unreasonable! Reasonable, human reason, unreasonable, the law of heaven. Reasonable, the world is one, unreasonable, the king is virtuous. "Guiguzi word by word." All the sons of the troubled times have achieved the heart of the teacher's avenue, although there are flaws, they are also punished by heaven! As a teacher, I don't rejoice that you are equal to your power, and I don't grieve because you are defeated. But I am ashamed to facher the scriptures, and if you are on the way, you should pass on the scriptures to the world. Everyone in the world has attained the Tao, and the road is natural! ”

The three of them stood up and saluted. "Follow the teachings of Mr.!"

Guiguzi and Zhu'er also got up. They looked due south, but saw a flock of cranes dancing, gathering to shade the sun, and the shade was in the courtyard.

Everyone is looking up to it!

Beads burst into tears. "Mao Meng's heart is self-defeating!"

"Pearl, you should be happy!" Guiguzi smiled.

The crane chirped and a familiar voice could be heard in the distance. "Sir! Goodbye, disciple! ”

After a long time, the flock of cranes dispersed.
