Songhua liquor, spring water sencha.

Bai Zhi sat opposite the nameless, boiling water and making tea.

The small tandoor on the table was scorching, and the stars shone through the cracks.

A wisp of white mist flipped in the tea mouth, meandering upward, bringing a clear tea fragrance that overflowed the spring room.

Bai Zhi raised his hand to pour the tea, a trickle of heat slowly flowed out, and a few thick green leaves were dotted in the clear color, turning and rippling in the cup.

"Brother, please."

Bai Zhi raised his head and chuckled, his fingers slowly pushed the teacup, and sent it to the nameless eyes.

Pick up the cup and smell it lightly, and the sweet and refreshing tea fragrance comes to your nose. Nameless exclaimed and said: "The second brother's tea art is really elegant and extraordinary. ”

Bai Zhi took a sip of tea soup and said humbly: "Big brother praised it, some craftsmanship is not worth mentioning." ”

Nameless shook his head, his expression was slightly admired: "Who dares to say that you are a ranger?" Even the princes and nobles, talented literati, can't raise your elegant and refined temperament. ”

If it weren't for the fact that Bai Zhi was born in the night, it would be hard to believe that a young man who was born as a killer would have such a noble bearing in his every move.

Bai Zhi slowly spoke: "Recently, the eldest brother has been riddled with mundane things, and today I finally have free time. If a few cups of tea from the younger brother can be used to relieve the lack of the eldest brother, it is also valuable. ”

The two had not seen each other for seven or eight days, and there was a faint hint of fatigue between the nameless eyebrows. Feeling that he has been working hard recently, Bai Zhi served another cup of tea.

Nameless looked apologetic: "I'm busy with my brother, and I've really neglected my second brother recently." ”

"How can you and my brother be in these vain courtesies, big brother is a chivalrous Confucian, don't be that rotten Confucian posture." Bai Zhi shook his head and said comfortingly.

Recently, he has been beautiful and has lived a quiet and comfortable life, but he is not bored.

Fu spoke again: "Big brother, do you have something important to find me today?" ”

Nameless looked straight and replied, "But there is something important." Senior Brother Xun returned from a trip yesterday and is now in the village. I met with him this morning and mentioned your situation. I'll take you to him in the evening. ”

Bai Zhi's face was warm, and his eyes showed a little gratitude.

If you say that you are not moved, it must be false. Nameless still keeps his own affairs in his heart despite his busy schedule, and his friendship is indeed heartbreaking.

He spoke softly: "Brother Meng bothered, and my brother is grateful." ”

Men's friendship does not need to be expressed fiercely, real feelings are always silent and thunderous, and at critical moments, the true feelings of fists are revealed.

Anonymous did not answer, and moved on to another matter.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you. A few days ago, I sent a letter to the Six-Fingered Black Man. I want to come and wait a few days, he will come to Songhai. ”

When Bai Zhi heard this, his eyes lit up.

Seeing that Xun's situation was just an accident, his cold poison was just a temporary excuse to contact Nameless, and it was actually far less serious than Nameless imagined.

The Mo family and the six-fingered black man are what he cares about.

Although the water cold sword is good, it doesn't matter if you can't get it. His real reliance is still the tempering of his shield. God endows a strong body, so naturally he can't buy a pearl.

What really made Bai Zhi interested was the Mohist tricks and classics.

Putting aside those overly idealistic ideas of governance, the Mohists can be described as ancient academies.

Mozi, the patriarch of the Mohist family, was the originator of logic, and was the first person in Chinese history to put forward the logical concepts of argument, class, and reason.

He was the first to propose the imaging of small holes, which was the first of its kind in physical research.

He defined the concepts of "doubling", "same length", "middle", "circle", square, straight line and other concepts in mathematics, and was the first person in Chinese history to rationally study mathematics.

……

Astronomy, Geography, Physics, Mathematics, Philosophy...... Mozi's doctrine of his life covers the universe and is all-encompassing. It can be called the all-rounder of antiquity.

The Mohist concept of governing the country with love and non-aggression surpasses this era by nearly 2,000 years.

However, in this Warring States Period, no country would dig its own grave, so the doctrine of the Mohists was naturally not taken seriously.

With insight beyond this era, Bai Zhi was well aware of the potential and importance of the Mohists.

In his opinion, today's Mo family can be described as a pearl covered with dust, empty of treasure mountains and no one cares.

Putting aside the Mohists' philosophy of statecraft and discovering the potential of their mechanical and scientific research, they are the best scientists.

Thinking of Yan Dan's single-handedly turning the huge Mo family into an anti-Qin base where bandits and robbers gathered, Bai Zhi smiled dumbly.

For such an idiot, death is the best ending for him. He is ambitious, and he is still delusional about confronting Yingzheng.

The grasshopper shakes the tree, which is ridiculous.

"Taking control of the Mo family and putting things right will be the first step in his own rise."

Thinking in his heart, Bai Zhi's gaze bloomed with a blazing ambition.

"Second brother, second brother?" Nameless shouted twice, and his big hand shook lightly in front of Bai Zhi's eyes.

Bai Zhi's eyes scattered, and he immediately came back to his senses.

He smiled and said, "My brother was excited for a while, and he didn't feel out of shape, so he made the eldest brother laugh." ”

Pick up the teacup and take a sip.

Bai Zhi was a little anxious, he couldn't wait to see the six-fingered black man.

Suddenly, he jokingly said: "The second brother has always been calm, but there are times when he loses his mind? ”

"Big brother, don't laugh at me. I have admired 100 schools of scholarship for a long time, and when I heard that I could join the Mo family, I was naturally excited. ”

Nameless laughed: "The second brother is a man of temperament, isn't it the eldest brother?" ”

Seeing that the sun was setting, he looked straight and said, "It's almost time, let's go, don't make my senior brother wait for a long time." ”

Bai Zhiyan nodded and got up to follow.

The two of them went all the way, and the direction became more and more deviant.

Nameless said: "My senior brother has a withdrawn temperament, does not like vulgar etiquette, and lives alone in the bamboo forest in the back mountain on weekdays. You go in for a while and everything is casual. ”

When Bai Zhi heard this, his heart moved.

Even two thousand years later, the old man is famous.

The allusion of "Xunzi persuasion" is a familiar story for every student.

Xunzi is known as the "Later Sage", and is another sage of Confucianism after Confucius and Mencius.

He swept away the chaotic academic situation of Confucianism for a hundred years and creatively developed Confucian orthodox thought and theory.

Xunzi advocates "ritual and law simultaneously"; put forward the idea that "the person who makes the destiny of heaven and uses it will conquer the sky"; He was opposed to superstition of ghosts and gods; He put forward the theory of sexual evil, which is diametrically opposed to Mencius......

After counting the history of Confucianism for hundreds of years, Xunzi's contribution directly followed that of Confucius and Mencius.

Seeing the sages today, Bai Zhi has a kind of heaviness that has entered history.

The two walked hundreds of steps through the forest, and after a while, a bamboo garden jumped into view.

Push open the fence courtyard wall, in front of you is a small asphalt building, the whole body of emerald bamboo poles woven together, hidden mountain wind blowing bamboo sound, quite the owner of the elegant wind bones.

Bypass the small building, a few steps further, is a small pavilion, the eaves of the pavilion hang a few strings of wind chimes, fluttering with the wind, emitting a crisp bell sound.

Under the pavilion

An old man with white hair and long blazing eyes sat alone in front of the chessboard.

His eyes were intent, his forehead pondering, as if he were completely unaware of the people behind him.

After a long time, the old man threw his son and turned back.

His eyes swept over Nameless, then stayed on Bai Zhi's body, looking deeply.

Xunzi's gaze was not malicious, but when it fell on Bai Zhi, it sent chills down his spine.

After a while, Xunzi stroked his beard and spoke: "He looks good, but his thoughts are mixed." Let's talk to the old man about it. ”

His voice was clear and kind, but Bai Zhi listened to it in a cold sweat.

His situation can be concealed from the nameless, but in front of Xunzi, it is delicate.

Taking a breath, Bai Zhi took two steps forward, bowed to Xunzi and sat down.

Xunzi nodded, his eyes glanced at the namelessness under the steps, and he suddenly said, "Don't stand here, you can go back." ”
