Qiu raised his head and looked at Lu Dinggong, his voice was calm, but extremely firm: "If Gong hopes that he has a group of dead soldiers under his command, then the training method that Shaozheng said is feasible. But what worries me is that the reason why the dead are dead soldiers is because they have no concept of right and wrong, no heart for good and evil, they only obey the orders of one person, and they do not hesitate to kill people and set fires. Is this really what the public wants?"

Lu Dinggong had recovered from his eagerness just now, and asked very modestly: "Is there anything bad about this for Lone?"

Qiu smiled slightly: "The question is, how does Gong know whose hands these dead soldiers are in, and is there any way for Gong to participate in the whole training process?"

Lu Dinggong couldn't hide his shock, and couldn't help but glance at Mao, although he immediately withdrew his gaze, but Mao already understood in his heart that Qiu's move was offensive and sharp. He groaned for a moment and cautiously dropped down: "Sir's suspicions are very reasonable. But I've heard that my husband is the best at education. Loyalty and filial piety is the first lesson that Mr. and his disciples learn with Mr. Isn't it the best of both worlds, if the gentleman continues to teach them the way of loyalty to the king, and I will train them in eloquence and martial arts, so that the way of the gentleman will ensure that they are the king's men, and my skill will ensure that they are invincible dead soldiers, and won't it be the best of both worlds?

Lu Dinggong finally expressed his position: "What Shao Zhengmao said is very true. Mr. should not shirk, since Mr. has such a talent, he should naturally serve the court, and Lone will not treat them badly. Mr. will enter the court tomorrow, first grant Sikong, wait a few days, the three families have no objections, and then allow promotion. ”

When the two left the palace, the sky was already slightly bright, and the two stopped at the palace gate.

Mao's voice carried a victorious lightness: "Then, Senior Brother, from tomorrow onwards, I can train your disciples openly." Master has a spirit in heaven and will be glad that we will work together. ”

Qiu said coldly: "They will not become killers, let alone the army you expect to become." The effort I put into them is to make sure they don't become like that. Heaven and earth are unkind, but man cannot use his own kind as a dog. ”

Mao regarded these words as a scene for Qiu to regain face, and he smiled slightly: "Senior brother, there is no need to continue arguing about things that have already been argued. I'd love to see how spectacular and awe-inspiring these soul hunters will be when my blade cuts through the shackles of your rituals. Never before has a soul hunter of this magnitude ever appeared in the same era. Master has been searching for hundreds of years, but he has only found the two of us. I have to say that in this regard, your ability to find potential people is really unprecedented. I remember Master asked you to help him find more people, but you refused. ”

Qiu gritted his teeth, knowing that this was his biggest scar. The dispute was fierce that time, and after that, the master never said anything about it again, but soon married his daughter to Mao. The day after the two got married, Qiu left, and later he heard that the master had died that year. He didn't know if those two things had anything to do with the dispute, because he never wanted to think about it. After leaving Master, he traveled extensively to learn and learn various skills from others, but he never mentioned what he had learned in the first place.

Mao looked at the sky: "It's getting bright." No one can stop the sun from rising, whether you like it or not. Senior brother, I believe that although you do not approve of it now, you will thank me when I truly lead your disciples to become masters of the world. ”

Qiu didn't look at him and walked away: "I'll kill you." “

The tone of this sentence was flat as saying good night, but Shao Zhengmao shivered in the cold air of the early morning.

He never remembered who Kongqiu had ever said such things to, and he had never heard of him killing anyone. Perhaps because of this, he was even more afraid.

The students' reactions were exactly the same as Yaw's assumptions. Zilu was the most excited, he had always thought that his master should have been in charge of the court a long time ago, and he was also very excited that he could be trained by Shao Zhengmao to become the protector of the country. Yan Hui looked at the master silently with a faint worry on his face. Most of the rest of the disciples were the same as Zilu, but they weren't as excited as him, and a small number were the same as Yan Hui, a little hesitant, but they couldn't think of anything bad.

Qiu gently pressed the book with his hand, and the disciples quieted down: "Let Shaozheng Mao train you, it is the meaning of Lu Dinggong, I want to take the Lu State as the cornerstone and teach the princes to respect the Son of Heaven and the courtiers to respect the king." Let the world calm down the fighting, peace and prosperity. So, I can't refuse his request. There is nothing wrong with you following me and becoming a scholar of the Lu country, and serving the Lu country. But Shao Zhengmao's training of you may confuse you and mislead you. I'm sure he can teach you things that I don't want to teach and make you feel stronger. But I hope you don't forget what you've learned around me over the years, and that no matter how powerful, it shouldn't be used for evil purposes. No matter how powerful the skill is, it should not violate the rules of etiquette. Remember this saying, which you may not understand now, but when he begins to train you, you will need it more than ever. “

Yan Hui finally spoke: "What kind of skills should not be learned?" The disciples below also whispered, skills are skills, art is not pressing, why are there skills that should not be learned?

Qiu looked at Yan Hui, this disciple can always ask the most essential question: "Virtue is invincible to demons, and you can't practice the art of approaching demons." Either you can't, you don't want to. For example, the technique of piercing the wall, it is recorded in ancient times that those who have obtained the technique can enter the house without buttoning the door or without the consent of the owner. Those who are virtuous in this technique disdain it, and those who are not virtuous are thieves. For example, stealth techniques, virtuous people do not deceive their hearts, upright, what is the use of stealth? This kind of skill is all witchcraft, and the gentleman is far away, so it has gradually been lost for hundreds of generations. “

Zilu asked in surprise: "Could it be that Shao Zhengmao wants to teach us the technique of piercing through the wall and the technique of stealth?" The disciples all looked at each other, not knowing what it was like.

Qiu shook his head: "No, it's just to let you understand that not everyone can learn the skill of events, only the great sages who can defeat demons can bear the magic and not use it." You're not yet there. ”

Yan Hui asked softly: "Then this time, what Shao Zhengmao wants to hand over to us is it witchcraft?"

Qiu shook his head blankly: "I don't know." What he wants to teach, I don't know how to classify it. But in any case, it is unruly. It's like piercing through the wall, breaking into the owner's home without the owner's permission. “

Zilu asked loudly: "But if the master asks me to do this, in order not to let others see it, or if the master is in danger, I need to rescue him." Can you use wall-piercing to save people?"

Qiu looked at him for a while before he said, "Zilu, etiquette is the first in the world." If, at some point, we think that we have taken an indecent approach for the right purpose, it is commendable. Then, people will gradually come to think that this behavior is right, and in the end, everyone will do whatever it takes to end what they think is right. When the method is not constrained by propriety, the purpose is naturally no longer bound by propriety. Where is the true purpose of justice in the midst of the collapse of etiquette?"

Kong Qiu stood up and swept his gaze over the faces of each of his students: "Therefore, I hope that every one of my disciples can put the courtesy in front of their own desires, even their lives. ”

Zilu straightened his hat: "It's better to die than be rude." ”

Qiu looked at Zilu, hesitated, but nodded.

A disciple hurriedly entered with a prayer post: "Master, Shao Zhengmao is here, he wants to merge the pulpits on both sides and teach with Master." ”

Qiu stretched out his hands and took the post meticulously: "Yes." ”
