There are many bamboos around Longbao Village, and people will naturally use firecrackers that are not mysterious to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

They also found that they had also used some strange stones, or shellfish, mixed with the wet bamboo to burn, which also made a noise.

Although this is too extensive, in fact, compared with the way that many families now "bid farewell to the old year with the sound of mahjong, and welcome the spring with the sound of the board cannon", there must be "culture" (note: "board cannon", a popular four-person poker game in Chongqing and Guizhou).

In addition, they also have sacrificial ceremonies, songs and dances, etc., and the customs of the various tribes of the Ba people celebrate the festival, which are similar but different, and will not be described in detail.

Winter is gone, although spring is coming, the cold has not completely subsided.

Since he visited the teacher, Mu Mangzi has learned that there is a shortcut to long-term knowledge, and he goes to see the teacher every day.

Today, it's cloudy.

Mu Mangzi had eaten the morning food, first went to the place where the women often gathered, made a look, and then went to Wuzhen's place, originally wanting to ask him for advice and discuss the "poems", but he was afraid that the husband would see his "bad" thoughts, so he had to see which part of the master's interests today was as usual.

Today, the master and apprentice discussed the art of war and formation.

Wu Zhen was not a military general, but his father Wu Yuan was a middle-level general of the Chu army, and he had a wide range of books, introducing various formations to Mu Mangzi: what circle formation, square formation, sparse formation, several formations, cone formation, goose formation, there are many names.

Subsequently, Wu Zhen introduced a famous battle example, and Mu Mangzi also actively asked questions and spoke.

When he was in the heat, Wu Cheng burrowed into the room with a sullen head and said, "Father, I heard that my mother said that you are looking for me, what is the matter?"

Wu Zhen raised her head and said, "I won't be here for a long time, do you still want a sedan chair to carry you? I'll come back when I'm done!"

Wu Cheng grunted, "This is also a serious matter. "I was so happy to let him go, and I turned and ran.

"You have a thorn in your buttocks, and you can't sit down for a moment?" Wu Zhen shouted.

Wu Cheng had no choice but to turn around and smile: "I don't have a thorn on my buttocks, but there are thorns on the mat and thorns in your books." ”

Wu Zhen said: "We are talking about the battle between Qi and Lu Changscoop, why don't you sit down and listen?"

Wu Cheng sneered: "It's just a blow, two declines, three exhaustions, what's the discussion?"

Mu Mangzi said: "This is superficial, in the final analysis, it should be Cao Di's assertion that Lu Zhuang Gong can fight, which is as wonderful as Shen Baoxu's confrontation with King Goujian of Yue." ”

Wu Cheng didn't expect Mu Mangzi to say much at this time, and said unconvinced: "What can you do, when you see blood, you will swing, and you are only worthy of talking about soldiers in your dreams!" I have been by the side of Yang Ming, a famous general of Chu State, for at least more than two years, after several battles, I have seen the scene, I have not learned to play the piano, but I have also learned to tune. ”

Wu Zhen sneered: "After walking around the front of the door like a public defeat, I thought I could play the ink line! I dare to say that if you hand over one division to the two of you now, you will definitely be defeated by him." ”

Wu Cheng said: "I don't need a single soldier, I will kill this person without leaving a piece of armor!"

Mu Mangzi smiled: "Why don't we go and arrange another water battle?"

When Wu Cheng heard this, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and it was inconvenient to have a seizure, so he snorted.

Mu Mangzi said again: "Or, do you dare to deduce like Mozi and Gong Yi?"

Wu Cheng said: "You think I don't understand! I'm not like a public loser, I can only build a ladder! It's rare to accompany your master and apprentice to talk about war here and tickle your boots." "Turned around and walked away.

Wu Zhen was disappointed: "He, like the Ba people, didn't understand what real war was until he died. ”

"Wuzi doesn't have to be like this, there will never be a war in the Dragon Treasure Pit. ”

Wu Zhen said: "A martial artist, not enough to discuss!"

"Wu Zihu wants to blame him, the ruler is long, and the inch is short. Although Mu Mangzi still doesn't like Wucheng, since he has worshiped Wuzhen as a teacher, he will inevitably have something to do with Wucheng, and he is the brother of the maid Ruyan of Hu'an Palace after all, so he comforted Wuzhen.

Wu Zhen said: "That's it, don't talk about him." ”

The two continued to discuss, this time on something bigger.

Mu Mangzi said: "What does the master think, what is the trend of the world?"

Wu Zhen took a sip of a kind of soil tea in the Longbao Pit and said with a smile: "In the cave sky, still ask about state affairs?

Mu Mangzi also smiled: "This is a cliché. ”

Wu Zhen smiled.

Mu Mangzi asked again: "Outside of Pakistan, what is the way of the world?"

"The etiquette is broken. ”

Mu Mangzi smiled again: "It's still a cliché. ”

Wu Zhen smiled but did not speak.

Mu Mangzi said: "Wuzi, I still haven't figured it out, who do you believe? Do you believe in Confucius? or Lao Tzu?"

Wu Zhen said: "I believe in the way of heaven. ”

"That's Lao Tzu?"

"Definitely. If something happens to the Son of Heaven, of course his father should clean it up, so I believe in the way of heaven. ”

Mu Mangzi laughed.

After laughing, Mu Mangzi said: "Wuzi, those are all empty things, how about teaching me to Yi again?"

Wu Zhen smiled: "You have made rapid progress, which is surprising to me." Teach again, I'm afraid I'm not an opponent anymore. ”

Mu Mangzi said with a smile: "Cats teach tigers, and in the end, there are always tricks that are not taught." ”

The two set out the chessboard and chess pieces together a few days ago.

Mu Mangzi Shi Shi said: "Please Wu Zi first." ”

Wu Zhen held white, Mu Mangzi held black, and the two first placed white and black in the diagonal star position, called the seat, in order to limit the first strike advantage to the greatest extent, because there was no eye at that time.

After playing two games, Mr. Mu Mangzi inadvertently yawned, thinking that he was tired, and proposed to stop the chess.

Put away the chess pieces and chessboard, and the spirit of Wu Zhen is here again.

Mu Mangzi remembered that "that beauty" had said that there was another book, so he said, "What kind of book is the Book of Mountains?"

""The Book of Mountains", I have never read it carefully, I have seen the flowers and flowers, and it records the mountains and rivers of the world. ”

Wu Zhen tried hard to recall, and told Mu Mangzi some of the things she could remember.

Mu Mangzi felt that the same mountain recorded in the book was very different from what Wu Fuzi and Yu Mengyu said, but from the master's speech, he was able to form a three-dimensional picture in his mind (of course, he thought it was in his heart).

For example, when Wu Zhen said, "The West Mountain passes through the head of Huashan, and it is said that the mountain where money comes...... Forty-five miles to the west, it is called Songguo Mountain...... Sixty miles to the west, it is said that the mountain of Taihua is ......", and the direction of one mountain peak after another is very clear, just like a map, appearing in his mind.

And most of what he talks about is some grotesque animals, plants, and what the gods on the mountain are, and where they want to talk about it.

Mu Mangzi has superhuman spatial thinking ability and superhuman imagination ability, from the perspective of knowledge, he prefers Wu Zhen's speech, but from his own mind, Mu Mangzi prefers to listen to the dream language, and her memory is obviously much better than Wu Zhen, he likes her voice, movements and expressions, which has nothing to do with the content, especially speaking to herself.

Another thing that he was happy about was that when several people gathered together, whenever they talked about things in the "Book of Mountains" or other books, Wu Cheng would take the initiative to leave because he was not interested or proud of disdain.

The weather is starting to warm up.

According to the theory of "the unity of heaven and man", people's hearts have also begun to become active.

Although Wucheng and Narcissus's secret date are getting better, they have never forgotten the outside world of flowers, especially the life-and-death martial arts, and there are often sighs that heroes are useless.

On this day, the sun rose on the treetops, Wucheng was accustomed to collapsing, habitually using the morning food, listless in Longbao Village for a week, and found that except for Mu Mangzi reading what books in the room, as well as the older people such as the water people who usually look at the house, most of them were not there, and wondered secretly: "Where have all the people gone? Why hasn't anyone come to wake me up?"
