Half an hour ago.

The top of Yi Mountain.

Xunzi stood in front of the window, looking at the vast prairie west of the Jixia School Palace in the distance outside the window, the grass waves were rolling, like a thin line moving on the earth, Xunzi closed his eyes, felt the cool breeze of early spring blowing on his cheeks, and couldn't help but admire--

"Brother Zou, your residence is really a place of immortals!"

An old voice came from behind Xunzi--

"Brother Xun, if you like it, why don't you live here every day, I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave behind your precious disciples."

Zou Yan stood in front of the Bogu frame, always playing with a crystal white jade pendant in his hand, the jade pendant was carved into the shape of a small boat, the carving was fine, vivid, it was the small jade boat that Zou Yan found after the meteor fell.

Xunzi turned his head when he heard this, he naturally couldn't leave behind his disciples, needless to say that Li Si and Han Fei were the dragons among the two, that is, the little boy Cang'er who he brought with him every day, was also talented and intelligent, and he could be accomplished!

Thinking of this, Xunzi was quite complacent, thinking about his mantle in the future, with such three disciples who are one in a million to inherit, his heart was full of joy.

Xunzi saw the little jade boat in Zou Yan's hand, so he asked with a smile: "Brother Zou has not left this little jade boat for the past two days, but what did he find?" ”

Zou Yan shook his head and sighed: "This little jade boat is worthy of being a thing in the sky, just this incomparably exquisite carving is not something that any craftsman in the world can do." You see this is just a little knuckle in the small cabin furnishings, tables, chairs, beds, lamps and lanterns, on the portholes of the cabin, there are even lifelike carvings, I see this small jade boat, if it is enlarged as it is, it must be a real ship that can be placed directly on the water. ”

Xunzi also walked over when he heard this, looked carefully at the small jade boat in Zou Yan's hand, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really ingenious, this thing should only exist in the sky!" ”

Zou Yan shook his head and smiled: "It's just that the carving is fine, it's just that, it's strange, in the past two days, I have used countless methods, whether it is burning, smashing, or chopping with sharp weapons, this little jade boat is unscathed!" ”

Xunzi was surprised: "Really? ”

Zou Yan is extremely sure: "The old man did it himself, there is no doubt!" ”

Xunzi lost his voice and said: "The jade is fragile, and I can't help but fall, it seems that this piece of jade is really not the jade of the mortal world!" ”

Xunzi has lived to this age, and he has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and everything that should be known has already been known, and he will no longer be surprised by foreign objects. But Rao is the cultivation of Xunzi, and at this time, he can't help but gasp, which is extremely shocking!

Zou Yan played with the small jade boat in his hand, and suddenly asked, "Brother Xun, what is so special about Qi Yu in the past two days?" ”

Hearing Zou Yan ask, Xun Zi quickly regained his composure, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "I asked my two disciples, Li Si and Han Fei to get close to Qi Yu, this kid seems to have changed very obviously, the day before yesterday not only proposed the Tuntian system that is enough to change the pattern of the entire world, but also showed a unique view of Legalist theory in the chat with my two Legalist disciples, even my two disciples who are usually above the top of their eyes are extremely respectful to him, it seems that Qi Yu's point of view is very inspiring to them!" Brother Zou, do you think Qi Yu will be the new saint you have been looking for? ”

Zou Yan shook his head and said: "Now it is difficult for the old man to confirm, since the meteor fell that day, the heavenly machine has appeared for a short time, and every night after that, the old man has been observing the stars on the stargazing platform all night......"

"What does Heaven say?" Seeing that Zou Yan suddenly stopped, Xunzi was anxious, and couldn't help but ask.

"The Heavenly Machine has been completely messed up...... Zou Yan's eyes were blank, "Since that meteor, the cycle of the Five Virtues has actually broken and fallen into a kind of chaos that has not been seen in a hundred years...... The old man really can't do anything! ”

"How so!" Xunzi was also shocked, he and Zou Yan have known each other for decades, Zou Yan has always been unfathomable, perceptive to the heavens, like a fairy in the world, beyond the gaze of the mortal, straight to the will of heaven, looking down on all things. Xunzi had never seen Zou Yan so dazed!

Zou Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That's the case, I also have to admit that in the past few days, I have ordered Wen Qi to close the stargazing platform day and night to avoid causing panic in the entire Yin and Yang Five Elements School, but if this situation continues, one day, it will be impossible to hide after all!" ”

Xunzi's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, "Brother Zou, with your rich experience, can you judge this situation?" ”

Zou Yan sighed: "There must be something that has forcibly disturbed the heavenly machine!" Perhaps a person who has inherited the destiny of heaven has not made a choice about the future, and the heavenly opportunity is also obscure. ”

Xun Zi said in horror: "Could it be Qi Yu?" ”

Zou Yan closed his eyes, shook his head, and said, "I'm not sure, but I have to meet Qi Yu as soon as possible." ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room, and a childish child's voice sounded outside the door--

"Teacher, Master Zou, Senior Brother Qi Yu is out asking to see you!"

Xun Zi turned his head in surprise, and his eyes bumped into Zou Yan, who was also surprised and inexplicable!

"Cang'er, please let him in!" Xunzi said.

…

…

Before a stick of incense.

"Young Master, we're here! Look if it's here! ”

Lu Yunzhou heard the excited shouts of the little scholar Qi Xin, turned his head to look, and saw an elegant and chic courtyard, located on the top of the mountain, a small open space.

The courtyard wall with white walls and blue tiles in the small courtyard actually contains a section of the wall of the stargazing platform, and the back door of the stargazing platform is in this small courtyard.

At this moment, in front of the gate of the small courtyard, there was a boy in Tsing Yi, who saw Lu Yunzhou's master and servant, so he saluted and said: "Boy Zhang Cang, I have seen two senior brothers, dare to ask the two senior brothers to come here, what is the matter, the boy can pass it on his behalf!" ”

"Zhang Cang?" Hearing this, Lu Yunzhou looked at the handsome boy in front of him, who was only eight or nine years old, and said in his heart, isn't Zhang Cang a famous face in the Han Dynasty? Could it be the little boy in front of you?

Lu Yunzhou's eyes flashed, he remembered that Zhang Cang, a famous minister in the Han Dynasty, studied under Xunzi when he was a child, so it is very likely that he is also under Jixia at this moment.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but look at the boy in Tsing Yi in front of him a few times, only to see that this kid's complexion was extremely fair, white like milk, his face was delicate, and his eyes were extremely smart.

Looking at the milky white complexion of the little boy in front of him, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but think of an anecdote about Zhang Cang--

It is rumored that when Zhang Cang followed Liu Bang, he should be beheaded because of the crime, and when he was executed, Zhang Cang took off his clothes and lay down on the torture instrument, his body was tall and big, and at the same time he had a fat and white skin like gourd seeds.

happened to be seen by Wang Ling passing by, and he was amazed that Zhang Cang looked good. Wang Ling interceded with Liu Bang because of this and pardoned him for his capital crime!

Lu Yunzhou retracted his gaze, although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, in fact, it was only a moment in reality, seeing the little boy looking at him with blazing eyes, Lu Yunzhou smiled and said: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhang, it was raining Qiqi, this trip is to ask to see Master Zou, please ask Senior Brother Zhang to help inform me." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cang replied neatly: "No problem, then please wait for the two senior brothers, and I will come when I go!" ”

Zhang Cang quickly ran out of the courtyard, he was young, but his mind was quite lively, just now he saw the obvious change in the expressions of the master and Zou Fuzi, Zhang Cang felt very surprised, just because Zhang Cang had never seen his strict self-discipline master and Zou Fuzi, who knew everything in the world, had any gaffes.

But only this time, when they heard the name Qi Yu, they would have such a big reaction, thinking of this, Zhang Cang couldn't help but look at the very handsome Senior Brother Qi Yu in front of him with an inquiring gaze.

"Two senior brothers, Master Xun and Master Zou are invited!" Zhang Cang looked at Lu Yunzhou in front of him with curious eyes and said respectfully.

"Master Xun? Is it Xunzi" When Lu Yunzhou heard this, his eyes couldn't help flashing, and he pondered in his heart. In his mouth, he said politely to Zhang Cang: "Thank you, little brother!" So he took the little scholar Qi Xin and followed Zhang Cang into the small courtyard.

The little scholar Qi Xin listened to Zhang Cang's "senior brother" one by one, and he was already excited, carrying the small bookbasket on his back, puffing up his chest, and walking in with great vigour.

It's the first time Qi Xin has been called a senior brother!

All this fell in Zhang Cang's eyes, and he immediately saw that this little scholar was very stupid!

Lu Yunzhou entered the small courtyard, and sure enough, he saw a section of the courtyard wall on the left, which was part of the wall of the observatory, and there was a closed gate on it, which must be the back door of the observatory.

Thinking of the situation when he was stopped by the young man at the front door before, he thought that in the entire Yin and Yang Five Elements School on Yi Mountain, only Zou Yan could enter and exit the stargazing platform from the back door at any time, and there were some restrictions on the entry and exit of others!

In the small courtyard, there is only one big room, a kitchen and a thatched house, which are symmetrically distributed, and although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs. Looking back from the fence in the backyard, you can vaguely see the prairie west of the Jixia School Palace, and the meandering water on the grassland.

Lu Yunzhou followed Zhang Cang into the room on the left side of the only big house, and Qi Xin stayed in the small courtyard and waited, looking around.

Lu Yunzhou followed Zhang Cang into the room, Zhang Cang saluted the two masters, and then respectfully withdrew from the room.

Lu Yunzhou looked up and saw that this room was quite large, with a bookcase and a bookshelf on the left side of the room, a Bogu shelf on the right side, and two silk maps on the wall: a star map and a map of the world during the Warring States Period!

In the room stood two old men, one of whom was a fairy wind bone, with a ruddy complexion and eyes flashing with the light of wisdom, who were standing in front of the Bogu frame at this moment; The other was in good spirits, with a straight waist, a rigorous and meticulous expression, standing in front of the window.

Seeing that the two old men were looking at him, Lu Yunzhou hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Qi Yu has seen the two masters......

When he lowered his head, Lu Yunzhou's gaze happened to hit the little jade boat in Zou Yan's hand, his eyes suddenly widened involuntarily, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face, staring at the small jade boat in Zou Yan's hand!

"This ...... This...... Isn't it the little jade boat I wore in my previous life? How did it end up here! ”
