Time enters the spring of the new year, 360 BC.

The harsh winter in the north has passed, and the snow and ice are beginning to melt. The air was moist and fresh, and the sun's face was mild. The seeds in the cracks of the stones, under the light of the sun, were ready to move, and soon sprouted and grew new green.

Zhuang Zhou is one year old, ten years old and nine years old. His Qing'er sister is also one year older, eleven years old and ten years old. Both of them have grown a lot taller, and Zhuang Zhou's height surpasses Qing'er.

Qing'er seems to be a lot shyer all of a sudden, and she no longer has to hug Zhuang Zhou to fall asleep like before. Suddenly, she noticed that many changes had taken place in her body. She vaguely felt that she was approaching in the direction of an adult.

On this side of the Mojia branch altar, there are many more people. No! It is a big forum of the hundred schools of thought, not a branch of the Mohists. The talents from all the vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty all called this place the Great Forum of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Now the scale has doubled compared to last year. The number of people has reached three or four thousand, and the thatched huts have increased by more than a dozen rows. In the nearby woods, there are many people living in their own thatched huts, and they do not live with others. On the periphery of the hundred schools of Zhuzi, there are many more wine shops, restaurants, inns and shops.

Once far away from the bazaar, the Mojia branch altar lived in a remote mountainous area, but now it has become a sizable bazaar. As the number of people here grew, the former bazaar gradually fell into disarray.

The surrounding villagers are willing to come here to buy and sell. The villagers brought their handicrafts, food, etc. to sell, and the talented people who came from the study tour exchanged silver taels or valuable items on their bodies for what they needed, and both sides got their own place. Items that used to be unavailable in the bazaar are now available here.

With the arrival of the talents of various vassal states in the Great Zhou Dynasty, merchants also came. Merchants from all over the world brought special products from all over the world, which attracted more villagers from the surrounding areas to come to buy, sell and exchange.

Most of the talented people who traveled from various vassal states came to Yang Zhu, the leading figure of Taoism. They all want to see Yang Zhu's demeanor, and they all want to debate with Yang Zhu and refute his reason of "plucking a hair and benefiting the world". There are also some people who come to Mo's house to visit the birds, and some people who follow the figures they worship and admire.

Since Yang Zhu's sudden disappearance, there has been no news of him, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive. But! Everyone is used to it! What kind of character is Yang Zhu? People are dragons, and they don't see the end when they see the head. Wait! is their only option.

They all heard that Yang Zhu must not let everyone down, and he will definitely give everyone an explanation. He will find a way to come back and meet with everyone and preach to everyone. Accept everyone's challenge and debate the truth with everyone. Even if he couldn't come, he would bring a letter and give an explanation.

The situation is the same, since Pengcheng was defeated in the first battle, there has been no news. But! Everyone is speculating that his old man is likely to be held hostage by the Cheetah team of Qi State, but it has not yet been determined.

Zhuang Zhou sat on a sun-rising stone, basking in the sun, looking into the distance and thinking about Shigong Yu Huali and the little junior sister, while being distracted. The spring breeze blew on his face, blowing the hair on his forehead, and he didn't even know that the hair was dangling in front of his eyes.

Qing'er walked over and saw that Zhuang Zhou was distracted again, she wanted to tease him and wake him up. After thinking about it, I changed my mind. She stopped and picked a leaf of withered grass on the side of the road, groped it gently, stretched her neck to watch Zhuang Zhou's expression change, and brushed the withered grass blade at Zhuang Zhou's face.

The withered grass blades scraped up and down on Zhuang Zhou's face, Zhuang Zhou didn't even know at all, thought it was hair, and brushed it with his hand.

"Brother! Miss your little sister again? ”

Qing'er had no choice but to give up, knelt behind, hugged Zhuang Zhou, put her head on Zhuang Zhou's shoulder, and said softly.

"Hmm!" Zhuang Zhou snorted.

"In the country of Qi! It must be in Qi country! I just heard them say that all the gates leading to other countries in Qi are blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Qing'er pressed her jaw down hard and said softly.

"The State of Qi is about to fight, and the State of Zhao and the State of Wei jointly attack the State of Qi. I heard that the border was closed since last year. ”

"I miss my grandfather too! I wonder what happened to him? He must have gone to Qi Country! Qing'er pursed her small mouth and gently took a bite on Zhuang Zhou's neck.

"I want to go to Qi Country!" Zhuang Zhou twisted his head, struggled to stand up, and said seriously.

"You?" Qing'er also stood up, but her hands were still holding Zhuang Zhou and did not let go.

"I want to go too! But? The gates of Qi are blocked, and you can't enter! Qi country! There are no Taoists there. The state of Qi did not allow Taoism to develop there, and found one to expel the other. Even if we go, we won't be able to get a pass, and there are checks everywhere in the Qi country, and you can't move an inch. ”

Under the pull of Qing'er, Zhuang Zhou was pulled back to the side of the Zhuzi Hundred Schools Forum.

The current forum of the hundred schools of thought is more lively than last year, and there are people speaking on the podium and debating with others all day and night. Outside the pulpit, groups of people gathered in various places, either talking about learning or debating the truth.

Whether you are a disciple of Mohist or Taoist, whether you are a Confucianist, a Legalist, a soldier, a famous scholar, a Yin and Yang family, a Huang Lao, or a merchant, a thief, or a conspirator, you can find teachers and confidants here.

The current Zhuang Zhou and Qing'er have also made a lot of progress. Qing'er has an understanding of the Mohists, Confucianism, and the Hundred Schools of Thought. Zhuang Zhou, too, no longer believes only in Mohism and rejects other schools. Opposite! His mind was moving closer to Taoism. Through everyone's debate and listening, he became more and more yearning for Taoist thought.

"What's new! What's New! What's New......"

Not far away, a surprised shout was heard. Like a newspaper seller in a certain period, shouting. After a while, many people gathered around to inquire about the "latest news".

Zhuang Zhou and Qing'er were no exception, and they went with everyone.

"Something big is going to happen to the Qi country! The country of Qi is about to be destroyed! ……”

The "newspaper sellers" are shouting again.

Seeing that the people gathered around were almost there, the "newspaper seller" cleared his throat and spoke.

"The Qi Cheetah team slaughtered their own village near the Zhao Pass last year, killing 916 people and setting fire to the village. After the cheetah team slaughtered the village, they spread rumors in the territory of Qi and blamed the Taoists, saying that the Taoist protectors did it, so that the people of Qi hated the Taoists and resisted the Taoists......

The chief disciple of the Mo family, Yu Huali, is now imprisoned in the capital of Qi State, in a secret room with a mechanism. This secret room was originally set up by the disciples of the Mo family for Yang Zhu, and it turned out! Bird Slippery suffered on her own, and was imprisoned by her own disciples, the people of the Qi State Cheetah Team......

Right now! After the disciples of the Mo family learned the news, they all went to the Qi country and declared war on the Qi country......"
