Chapter Twenty-Three: Jade

Listening to the words of the old man in the middle of the hide, Zhao Zheng was stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The teacher blames himself for this?" Zhao Zheng asked himself in his heart.

In this war-torn era, there were not many loyal and patriotic thoughts of later generations. It is not uncommon for countries to interact with each other. Even many people from the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, who sought fame and fortune, specially entered the customs and became officials in the court of the Qin State.

Although most of the people in the Warring States are running for their own interests and dying for their own interests, there are still many rules that bind them.

Most of the people in the Warring States had their own families, and because of people's natural blood closeness and Zhou Tianzi's blood system, they all regarded their families as extremely important. In the simplest words, a person can die, a kingdom can be destroyed, and a family cannot die.

Whether it was Cheng Tang or Zhou Wu, they gave a lot of benefits to those nobles before and after their demise. The Duke of Zhou even later divided the descendants of the King of Zhou. But the Qin State did not, and the one who ruled the world by force banned most of the nobles. This is also why, after the destruction of ****, not many people rose up to resist, but after the unification of Qin, it was the reason for the continuous riots. It's not the so-called ****, the people of that era are far more resolute than now, how can they really make trouble because of this policy?

And the other one who can be compared to the family is their teacher.

Respecting teachers has always been a Chinese tradition, not only because it is Confucian culture, but since the Warring States period.

Sengoku advocates strength and resourcefulness. A good teacher represents the opportunity to learn, the opportunity to acquire new abilities, and in the same way, after acquiring new abilities and enriching oneself, it is also an opportunity to become more wealthy.

In this era, the teacher is always high and can ask his disciples to do anything, just like another family.

Therefore, when Zhao Zheng heard the words of the old man in the middle of the hermitage, he couldn't reflect it for a while.

"Teacher, why should you blame yourself, this is what the disciple should do." Zhao Zheng lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice.

The old man shook his head, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "I have said it for the teacher, and I don't owe anyone anything for the teacher. Again, although the teacher accepted you as a disciple, he never really taught you. In the end, I still owe you for the teacher, not to mention, you are only seven years old......"

"Teacher......" Zhao Zheng didn't know what to say, he didn't expect that this old man would be so persistent. In addition to being surprised, Zhao Zheng was more moved.

"Whew!" The old man didn't say more to Zhao Zheng, but took Zhao Zheng and flew towards the ground quickly.

It's just about six o'clock. The sky at the end of summer is not too early, and the sun is not visible at six o'clock.

Handan City, which had slept all night, also began to gradually wake up, and the originally empty streets gradually began to have pedestrians, and horse-drawn carriages gradually began to pass.

The old man in the middle of the hidden took Zhao Zheng and flew into the house so blatantly. There were not many pedestrians, and they didn't see them, and even if they did, they probably thought that they hadn't woken up and were dazzled.

In the early morning, dew can be seen everywhere in the house because the roof is open. The books on the bookcase are also contaminated with a lot of moisture.

Ignoring the dew-soaked things in the room, the old man walked straight to a bookshelf and gently pressed a button that was untraceable.

"Click" The sound of gears turning.

Zhao Zheng, who had already seen the roof trick, was not much surprised by this.

"Squeak!" As the bookcase moved slowly, Zhao Zheng gradually saw the scene inside.

Unlike what I imagined, the dark room was not dim and dark, but it was full of blue light, not the light emitted by the oil lamp, but like a treasure such as a night pearl.

"Zheng'er, come in." The old man glanced at Zhao Zheng and said with a smile.

Zhao Zheng hesitated, but still followed the footsteps of the old man in the middle and walked in.

The darkroom is not too big, so you can see it through at a glance.

As Zhao Zheng imagined, the glow was indeed a bright jade similar to a night pearl. This piece of jade is not big, just a small piece, and it looks a little abrupt when placed on a platform that is many times larger than it.

The old man slowly picked up the piece of jade and looked at it carefully, as if thinking about something.

Zhao Zheng didn't make a sound, staring at the jade, he actually felt a force calling for him, making him feel the urge to get it.

"Zheng'er, take it." The voice of the old man in the middle of the hidden sounded, reawakening Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng was taken aback and took two steps back, "This piece of jade actually has the ability to capture people's souls?" Zhao Zheng thought with some fear.

"Zheng'er, take it!" The voice of the old man in the middle sounded again, but it was much more majestic.

Zhao Zheng looked at the bright, glowing blue jade, and was a little afraid to step forward. He knew that this piece of jade, which could be so carefully hidden in the secret room by the old man in the middle of the hide, must have its unknown side. And the situation just now also made Zhao Zheng a little jealous of this piece of jade.

"Zheng'er, take it!" The voice of the old man in the middle this time was more severe than the previous time, and there was an indescribable momentum surging towards Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng took two steps back, gritted his teeth, and still stepped forward. He believed that the old man in the middle would not harm him.

Zhao Zheng took a step and slowly walked towards the old man in the middle of the hideout. And that strange piece of jade also soared into the air and flew towards Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng didn't have the heart to care whether it was the jade himself or the old man in the middle of the hidden control, at this time he was completely attracted to the jade. It's like seeing this piece of jade for the first time.

"Alas, Zheng'er, don't blame the teacher." Seeing that Zhao Zheng lost his mind again and slowly approached the jade whose light was getting stronger and stronger, the old man in the middle of the hidden sighed and said.

"What's next is up to you. There is only so much that a teacher can help you, and I believe that with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to get its recognition. The old man looked at Zhao Zheng and muttered.

The distance between Yu and Zhao Zheng is getting shorter and shorter, and the dark room is getting brighter and brighter. The light of the jade even began to make people gradually unable to open their eyes. In the end, one person and one thing finally came together. In an instant, the jade, which was originally radiating dazzling light, lost its original color in an instant, and gradually changed back to its previous appearance, releasing its own faint blue brilliance as if breathing.

And Zhao Zheng's eyes were blurred, although they were still open, he couldn't see any brilliance at all. As if it was a ragdoll doll, staring blankly at Jade.
