Most people in these days believe that the soul is quite independent, that is, the human mind, memory, and self-consciousness do not completely die out with the end of life or even the decay of the body. Confucianism's respect for the ancestors is actually in the same vein as the ancient idea of immortalizing the soul and the eternal existence of the ancestors, but Confucius did not say it explicitly in a relatively rigorous academic attitude. However, with the popularity of the study of the Later Han Dynasty and the introduction of Buddhist thought, the theory of immortality and even reincarnation of the soul gradually became popular, so in the Southern Dynasty, Fan Zhen wanted to write a "Theory of Divine Annihilation" to refute it.

Therefore, it is completely understandable and acceptable for Xun to say "sending souls", which is complex - the legends of "leaving the soul", "conjuring the soul" and even "sending the soul" in these years and months have been full of pits and valleys, and Kyushu has been spreading.

But for what Shi Xun said, "A thousand years later, the soul of this world", I can't figure it out. In these years, people's general concept of time is one-way, continuous, and uniform, of course, only in terms of the human world, if it involves the legendary gods, there are many legends that the time flow is uneven. In Ren Fang's "Narrative of Differences" in the Southern Dynasty, there is a story of "Rotten Ke":

"Shimuro Mountain, Xin'an County, when the king of the Jin Dynasty felled wood, to, saw a few boys, chess and songs, and listened to it. The boy uses a thing and a quality, such as a jujube core, and the quality contains it, and he does not feel hungry. Oh, the boy said, 'Why don't you go?' 'The quality is up, the axe is rotten, and it is returned, and there is no one to return. ”

That is to say, a man named Wang Zhen went into the mountains to cut wood, saw the fairy playing chess, and ate an elixir, but he felt that it was only a very short time, and turned his head to see that the wooden handle of the axe he was carrying was all rotten. After leaving the mountain, I found that all the people I knew were dead - in fact, many years have passed!

After the emergence of metaphysics in the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were no fewer such legends, and in the early years of Cao Wei and Huang, metaphysics had just sprouted. There is a **** in the academic world, and similar legends are not common, but they will not make a nobleman who has read a book dumbfounded, and he is completely incomprehensible.

But this only involves uniformity in time, or perhaps distorts continuity, but not unidirectionality. If it's right, it's a repetition. There are thousands of years ago that the soul of a thousand years ago is sent a thousand years later, even if he can comprehend it, but it should be said that the soul of a thousand years ago is sent a thousand years ago...... Is this time also reversible? Ziyun: "The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night. "If the water flows to a lower place, can it be reversed?

However, if later generations comment, perhaps Hongfu is the ancestor of "talking about empty mysteries", because he often mixes some later generations of cosmology and time and space concepts into his poems, and many people at the time regard them as fables and metaphors, but they may also deduce a way to metaphysics and even religion because of this. For Daddy's "First Words of Physics". I can't understand nine sentences out of ten sentences, and I have no interest, but for those who step out of the air and talk about mysteries, there is often contact day and night - to put it bluntly, it is difficult to break the one-way thinking of time, but it is not completely unacceptable, after Shixun's education and subtlety, his mind is still relatively open.

Besides, it was Xun who opened his mouth and said first: "There will be a word." Don't think it's absurd. And then: "The road is slim, and people are unpredictable." "I've been vaccinated. Anything strange can happen in this world, don't treat me as a dying gibberish. So he was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I haven't believed it, but if Grandpa has it, he should have it." ”

Shi Xun smiled slightly as if he was self-deprecating, and talked about the problem from a different angle: "Ruo Ru is in this world. What about the time when the soul is placed in the spring and autumn? Cao Dong Zi and Zheng Zizhi said that they can talk about Confucianism with the sage; With the learning of Sun and Wu Wei, it can be debated with Cao Di; Reciting the chapter of "Lisao" is the text of Chu. and all in your ......"

It is a repetition of words, thoughtful, and silent.

"I was born in the narrow land of Lelang, the family is not a generation of eunuchs, the young have no Confucian teaching, once the Central Plains, know the general trend, know the hearts of the people, the text is super contemporary, through the can be Shao to continue the study, and even make gunpowder, print books, and then assist the first emperor to become unified. Am I born a saint? I was born to know it! ”

When Shixun said this, Shifu was a smart kid after all, and he immediately understood what his father meant, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare at Shixun in a daze. It was Xun who took the opportunity to give him the last stick to open his mind: "Or there is Yunwu who is not a son of the clan, a native of Shilelang, and a stiff person who is a peach of Li Dai." You have also tasted it, and you hate the villain for making rumors, which is bad for my reputation, but I tell you the truth: This is true, I am not a scholar, but a poor ear in the suburbs of North Korea! I don't know anything about it, but I know the world. ”

Before I died, I told you the truth, because you are my own son—son, do you understand what Daddy is saying?

"Grandpa......" is Fu doesn't know how to react, according to the words of later generations: At this moment, there are 10,000 grass and mud horses rushing through in his heart......

Shi Xun nodded, and said in his heart, you must not believe it yet, but you have already understood-"If there is no me in this world, what do you think will happen?" The first emperor hijacked Yuan Zhisheng and took Jingxiang in the south, but Liu Bei and Sun Quan joined forces to block it in Chibi, and they could no longer cross the river. Sun Quan is in Yang, Liu Bei is in Shu, and I Wei Ding is three feet long, cutting the world. The first emperor did not practice the extreme, Zixiu died early, passed on the throne Zihuan, and Zihuan was Han Chan. Then passed on his son Rong, passed on his son Fang, and the queen of Fang was fashionable - not the king of the time, and the grandson of Zihuan - the fashionable queen. Forty years after the arrest, Shu was destroyed, and Wu was destroyed in another thirty years, but the reunification was not Wei Ye, whose name was Jin ......"

Yes Fu was completely speechless, so he had to let his father predict the future, and the more he listened, the more strange he became, and the more he listened, the more he couldn't believe it. Shi Xun also knew that it was impossible to stuff too many things into his son's head in one go, so he only talked about the "Five Hu Chaohua" - "There are kings in Jin who are fighting each other, the Xiongnu, Xianbei and others are taking advantage of the situation to prosper, and Qiang, Qian, Di and so on are all in China, the cities are destroyed, the villages are slaughtered, and it is a great disaster that has never been seen in ancient times!" Therefore, what I do, such as one day down, building a system, and collecting Wei, there is no other, just to avoid this evil. ”

Who would have thought that Shi Xun's mind was not at all on the "five nonsense chaos" and "unprecedented catastrophe", but he asked abruptly: "What is the surname of the Jin?" ”

Shi Xun couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said in his heart that before the "Five Hu Chaohua" happened, no one could have imagined how terrible this so-called "catastrophe" was, and it was estimated that in his son's heart, the Xiongnu invaded the border counties in the early Han Dynasty, and at most the Zhou Dynasty dogs entered Haojing, so he didn't care much, but he was anxious to know who would replace Wei.

Well, since you want to know, then I'll tell you about it—"Do you think that I am safe and re-emphasizing Kong Ming and Zhongda, and I will be under the door?" Kong Mingshi is in charge of Shu government, comparing himself with management and music, and later generations respect Xiao and Zhang; As for Chung Tat ...... It was really under the weight of Wei II, and the father and son were in charge of the third. The former Zhongda gave birth to a second son, and you congratulated me on the gift, and you are six years old now? Seven years old? The son of this son is really taken from the Wei ......"

So he told the history of the Han and Wei dynasties in detail in the original time and space, and he was shocked and inexplicably obsessed, and he was so engrossed that he barely blinked his eyes. Yes, the absurdity of history, in people's ears, is often more wonderful than storytelling, who can believe that Zhou Gongjin can break the Northern Army in Chibi with a weak death? Who can believe that Shu and Wu are remote places, and have the ability to resist Cao Wei for decades?

He said this general story until it was dark, Cao Miao asked outside the door several times when he would have dinner, but he was blown away by Shi Xun, and sent Ganyu out of the horse, and he also returned with a feather. In the end, I had to invite Guan Si, put his hands on his waist outside the door, and scolded his son first: "Your father is talented, that is, if you don't eat, how can you be a son of man?!" What is the language that will betray people? ”

There was no choice but to flash his eyes at his father and hang his eyebrows upside down to show his pity. It was Xun who first warned him: "You are my son, so when you are about to die, I will tell you the truth, God knows the earth, you know me, even your mother cannot be said." Be careful, be careful! "Yes, don't worry, father, I understand, I will only pass on your words to my son in the future—if there is a son—and I will never tell a third person to know.

I'm very happy that my father didn't let me tell Brother Tan about this in the future, because he clearly wanted me to be his heir. Theoretically, this should be the case, although Brother Tan is raised by his mother-in-law, in fact, he is still a concubine, and it is impossible for me to take care of the family business, and it will be handed over to him in the future - unless I have no son and die early - now that he is still young, my father can only entrust me. But is Daddy really dying? I also hope that you will be able to bounce for a few more years and open the way for me!

I heard my father say again: "If I really don't shy away from it, there is an iron hoop under the west wall of the book, and the key is behind the east wall frame, and its Chinese characters can be seen by yourself." "In recent years, there have been many relatives and friends, and Shixun can't help but feel sad, people are middle-aged, and one day is one day less, and they may close their eyes one day, so they have written a lot of things in the future, and they are all hidden in the iron hairpin. He also once instructed Cao Miao, saying that if I die suddenly, you must not open the iron basket so that you can be buried with me. Cao Miao was only joking at the time, and shouted loudly: "Husband is still healthy, why do you have to be like this!" ”

Cao Miao came in with porridge and fed it to Shixun with his own hands. It was Fu Ye who took the opportunity to fill in some things, and then returned to the bed, and listened to the story of his father. Cao Miao said that your father just woke up, let him rest for a night, is there anything that can't be discussed tomorrow? It's Xun Xin who said that he was afraid that I would not be able to afford it if I was in the evening...... What to say while the spirit is still full...... It is estimated that I can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights, so let's talk as much as I can.

So he blasted his wives out again, closed the door of the house, and left only one person to listen. It was almost midnight, and finally finished talking about the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, Sima and Wei and other things, and then re-mentioned the "Five Hu Chaohua" matter, and also said that the world was rotten - "It is to know the government of your father, and it is really there, not made blindly." ”

It was from the beginning of the frightened and confused, after listening to the class for a few hours, his expression became extremely excited, kneeling on the edge of the couch, even his legs were numb and he didn't seem to notice it, just holding the edge of the couch with both hands, his eyes widened, and he whispered: "I know!" This day does not want China to be chaotic, so it descends to Grandpa to relieve the disaster. I used to think that the mandate of heaven was in Wei, but now I know that the mandate of heaven is in grandpa! ”

Shixun couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart, little bastard, what did you understand?! (To be continued.) )
