Volume 1 The Hidden Movement of the World Chapter 16 The Wise Man is Unscrupulous

King Wei Hui returned to Daliang, the capital of Wei State, thought about what he had seen and heard in Zhao State, and thought of the "Seven Hidden" things, and felt that there were indeed hermit masters in this world, and decided to take seriously the treasure bag that he got by chance.

Zhang Yi heard that King Wei Hui and the other kings of the four kingdoms had returned in vain, so he thought of a countermeasure in his heart, entered the palace to meet the king of Wei, and said to the king of Wei:

"Now that the Zhao State is getting stronger, and there is Feiyi to assist, the north is facing Wei to form an oppressive trend, and the south is united with Song and Han to attack, and my Wei State should think of countermeasures to break it!"

"Prime Minister is reasonable, what strategy do you have to deal with it now?" King Wei felt that what Zhang Yi said was reasonable, and he returned from Zhao State in vain, and he was making trouble for this.

"Now that my country has a good relationship with Qin, the west is naturally worry-free, if the south is united with Chu, and the east is harmonious, this situation can be broken!"

"Well, what the prime minister said is true, I have this intention, I don't know who can say Chu?"

"I wish to go in person and solve problems for the king!"

"This is very good! I have to be virtuous, and I don't have to worry about it now!" King Wei Hui was overjoyed, and then said:

"When is the prime minister going to leave? This king will personally see you off!"

"Thank you, my king! The minister will set off tomorrow to talk about Chu!" Zhang Yi said secretly with joy.

King Wei Hui sent Zhang Yi away, and decided to prepare to start the matter of Qiyin, recruit talents from the world, and seek capable people to strengthen the Wei State. King Wei Hui originally wanted to hand over the Seven Hidden Treasure Bags to the crown prince, but now that the prince was hostage in the Qin State, he summoned the prince's son, his eldest grandson Wei Wei, into the palace.

Wei Wei entered the palace and bowed to King Wei Hui:

"Grandson knocks on the king, I wish the king good health and longevity!"

"Well, grandson, hurry up! You are past the age of establishment, you may serve the country and share the worries of the widows?"

"My grandson practices martial arts diligently day and day, studies the art of war and strategy hard night and night, and is thinking about serving the country and sharing his grandfather's worries!"

"Okay! Now there is something to be done for you, if it is done, he will definitely dominate the princes and the country will prosper!"

"Although grandpa commands, grandchildren will do their best not to disappoint grandpa!"

"Come here!" said King Wei Hui and took it out from his body and handed it to Wei Yundao:

"Open it and take a look!"

Wei Yun immediately opened the cloth bag and took out the cloth to take a look, after reading it, Wei Yun was confused, so he said to Wei Huiwang:

"The grandson is young and ignorant, and the grandfather must teach the grandson, what is the 'seven hidden'?"

"This is a heavenly opportunity, grandpa still knows a little bit about it, and it is not surprising that you don't know! You need to remember that what is said on this cloth cannot be told to others, this is one of them; second, grandpa is ready to recruit talents from all over the world, in order to obtain seven of them, you need to secretly inquire about the interview, make this 'seven hidden' get to the ground, and wait for the opportunity to recruit the seven hidden people, thinking that I use it! Can you understand?"

"Grandson understands, grandson must do his best!"

"These seven hermits, most of them are masters outside the world, often hide in the mountains, or hide in the mountains, or hide in the market, you need to search carefully! Once you find a real person, you must be a corporal of courtesy, carefully seek advice, do not rely on the identity of the king and grandson, and snub the sage!"

"Grandson has written it down, if he finds traces of a master, he will definitely invite him personally, and he will never snub the sage!"

"Well, there you go! Tell the widow at any time if there is anything!"

Wei Wei took the cloth bag in his arms and took the order. When he arrived at the mansion, Wei Yun thought about what his grandfather had ordered him to do, and he was restless for several days, and he didn't know where to start. Just as Wei Yun was at a loss for what to do, his son Wei Wuji arrived. Wei Wuji, who later became Xinlingjun, was only seven or eight years old at this time, and he was still a child.

"What's the matter with my father, I won't play with my son these days!" Wei Wuji said.

"Alas, Grandpa Wang gave instructions on an errand, but he didn't know how to deal with it, how could he have the heart to play with you!" Wei Yun is easy-going, and his relationship with this little son is like a brother.

"Tell me what, I'll give you ideas!"

"Grandpa Wang said it, you can't tell others!"

"Am I someone else? I'm your son, and if I'm a few years older, my ancestor might have given me the errand!"

Wei Yun thought about it, his son was naturally not an outsider, so he took out the cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji looked at it and read slowly:

"Ghost Valley, Moxia, Xuanmen, Heterogeneous, Yishu, Flattering, Upper and Lower, these seven hermits, get three or four, you can win the world. When Wei Wuji finished reading, he suddenly became interested, and said happily to Wei Wei:

"Father is going to win the world! Father will not only be the king of Wei in the future, but the king of the world!"

"Don't talk nonsense! there is your grandfather and prince under the old ancestor, what do you know, just talk nonsense!"

"Isn't the prince behind his father? as long as his father gets three or four of the 'Seven Hidden', he can claim the title of king to the world!"

"Isn't that why I'm worried about it now?

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult! My father is in the palace, how can I know those Taoists in the rivers and lakes? If my father dresses up in disguise, pretends to be a Taoist priest, and then walks the world, it will naturally be easy to approach him!"

"Well, that makes sense! It's just that it's easy to disguise, how to make it when you walk the world!"

"Father, don't be afraid! With me accompanying my father, I will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and seek some opportunities!"

"If you want to go, I won't go!" This Wei Wei is in his thirties, and he still talks like a child.

"Father refuses to go, you can send someone!"

"Who to send?"

"Zhang Yi, doesn't my father know that Zhang Yi is Mr. Guiguzi's student?"

"How do you know this?

"I don't only know Zhang Yi, I also know that Pang Juan and Sun Bin are also students of Guiguzi!"

"That Zhang Yi is my Prime Minister of Great Wei, can I call him?"

"It's useless if you can summon him, he went to Chu State!"

"You know more than me! Since he went to Chu State, what are you mentioning him for?"

"Hey, there's one more person to help!"

"Who? Tell me!"

"I won't tell you!"

"If you don't tell me, I won't play with you in the future!"

"It's okay if I tell you, but you have to promise your son one thing!"

"Hey, I'm not your father, and you're bargaining with him?"

"What the ancestor told you, you must let me be your helper, and we will do things for the ancestor together!"

"Well, it's easy, I promise you!"

"Then let me tell you, this person is Bai Gui!"

"Who is he?"

"Pang Juan, do you know? He and Pang Juan are brothers, and they are both students of Guiguzi!"

"You guy, how do you know everything?"

"Some of them are what I heard from Brother Le Yi, and some of them are from others!"

"You don't associate with some serious people either, Le Yi is just a nerd under the fence, don't play with him in the future!" Wei Yun said again:

"Tell me who Baekyu is?"

"'I'd rather be a slave in Bai Gui's mansion than a guest of the prime minister!' Haven't you heard? Bai Gui is the richest businessman in the world, and it turns out that he also served as the prime minister of my Great Wei, and then Pang Juan died, so he will no longer be an official, and will do business in the world!"

"What can a trader do me do, you're talking nonsense again!"

"Think about it, he is doing business in the world, and there is no place in the world that he has not been, and there is no person he doesn't know! You say that these 'seven hidden', even if he doesn't know everything, he has heard of three or four! Besides, he runs around the world all day long, can he not help you?"

Wei Yun thought about it carefully, but he didn't expect this little guy to be able to help, so he said to Wei Wuji:

"Then I'll send someone to call him over, and you'll be listening!"

"That's not going to work! you'll have to visit in person!"

"He's a businessman, and he wants one of my royal grandsons to visit him in person?"

"Hehe, hey, he is not an ordinary businessman, his skills are not under Huizi and Zhang Yi, he turned out to be the prime minister of my Wei State, and now even Grandpa Wang respects him very much!"

"Alas, just go, just go, I'll take over this drudgery!" Wei Yun was helpless in his heart, and decided to visit Bai Gui in person another day.

King Wei Hui was very old at this time, and felt that his days in the world were not a few years, and he was ready to do another career at the end to lay a solid foundation for his descendants to build a solid foundation, so he officially issued a document to announce to the world and recruit talents. King Hui of Wei posted the list text in various parts of the Wei State, and set up Zhaoxian Platforms in Daliang, Anyi, and Anyang, and built a white jade platform and a bronze platform in the Daliang of the capital, which were called Wen and Wu Zhaoxian Platforms respectively.

Seeing that Grandpa Wang was recruiting talents with such fanfare, Wei Yun didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately decided to visit Bai Gui's house in person. After Wei Wuji learned about it, he naturally stared at his father Wei Wei and asked to go with him.

The two entered Bai Gui's house, and Wei Wei saw that although Bai Gui's house was big, it was not magnificent, and there was no luxury, so he said to Wei Wuji:

"You are talking nonsense, where is this like a rich man?"

"Look at these subordinates, all of them are smiling, the rumors are really good, Bai Gui himself has always been frugal, but he treats his subordinates very well!"

"There are a lot of people, and it's much more lively than in my house!"

"I don't think this Bai Gui is simple, but I can't say it either!"

"Let's see, I hope this old man is as good as you say!"

The two saw Bai Gui, Bai Gui got up and bowed to the two sons, Wei Wei stood still, but Wei Wuji hurriedly stepped forward to help Bai Gui and said:

"Teacher, please get up!"

Bai Gui did not have an official position at this time, so he bowed to the two of them as a commoner, and when he saw that this child was quite polite, he couldn't help but be shocked, squinted his old eyes and looked at this child, and then said:

"If the two kings and grandsons have something, just send someone to inform them, and if they come to the door in person today, won't the grass people be guilty!"

"There is indeed something to do today┄┄" Wei Yun said halfway, and was pulled by Wei Wuji's sleeve, so he stopped talking, and only listened to Wei Wuji:

"The Great Kingdom is busy with affairs, and I can't take a break, so I sent the two of us to visit your old man!"

"Oh, does the king remember the grass people?

"The king said, 'The widow is old, and now that I think about it, among my courtiers, Pang Juan and Bai Gui are the most loyal to me!'

When Bai Gui heard this, he naturally understood in his heart that he was lying, but he also liked this clever child very much, so he followed him and said:

"Those are all things of the past, and now that they are old, thanks to the king, they still remember the grass people, and the grass people are blind when they die!"

"The king also said, 'Now that Bai Gui is no longer an official, I don't know if I can still be loyal to my Great Wei and contribute money and efforts for my Great Wei!'

When Bai Gui heard that he was asked to contribute money and efforts, he was shocked, and he didn't know what these two princes and grandsons wanted to do, so he quickly knelt down and said:

"The grass people are loyal to Great Wei!"

Wei Wuji hurriedly stepped forward to help Bai Gui again, and said:

"Your old man is old, don't kneel at every turn, so the two of us can't afford it!"

"It is right for the grass people to kneel down to the two kings and grandchildren! What are the two kings and grandsons doing here? But it can be said to the grass people that the grass people will definitely help!"

"Is this true? This son really needs your help today!" Wei Yun couldn't hold back on the side, and when he heard him say that he was willing to help, he said it casually.

When Wei Wuji heard this, he glanced at him, and said in his heart: What are you anxious about, I haven't finished talking yet!

"If there is any difficulty for the two kings and grandsons, the grass people are willing to sell their property, and they will also help the two and serve the country!" Bai Gui thought to himself, these two princes and grandsons suddenly came to visit today, and borrowed the king's tone, don't they want to ask for some money!

"We didn't ask you for money, we just asked for something!" Wei Yun said.

"Childe, please speak, the grass people know everything!" Bai Gui was relieved when he heard this.

"This┄┄This┄┄" Wei Yun was just about to ask, but when he thought about what his grandfather said to him, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he scratched his head in a hurry and looked at Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji was clever, and guessed that it was inconvenient for Wei Wei to ask directly, so he said to Bai Gui:

"I heard that your teacher is Mr. Guiguzi, but is the truth?"

"Exactly! Don't dare to hide the two nobles!"

"That Mr. Guiguzi is a master in the world, you are not only his student, but also do business in the world, you can always say a few to the world's masters, right?"

"Childe is asking the grass people, are there any worldly masters in this world?" Bai Gui wondered, he didn't expect the two princes and grandsons to come to him for such a question.

"Yes, you know, just tell us one by one, don't hide it!" Wei Yun was happy when he heard it, and thought to himself that Wuji could still speak, and asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Oh, that's very easy! Today, with the Confucian Meng Ke, the Taoist Zhuang Zhou, the Mo family's Huang Wei, the Legalist's Shen Dao, the famous Hui Shi, etc., are the most famous, as well as Su Zheng, Tian Piao, Chun Yuji, etc., all of them are famous and noble!"

"Well, that's a good point, and there's really some knowledge!" Wei Yun said with admiration when he heard him say the truth.

"What! You're talking about someone who even a kid like me knows, tell me what we don't know!" Wei Wuji heard it, as if this Bai Gui was fooling them. Hearing Wuji's words, Wei Yun glanced at Wei Wuji, and asked in his heart: Is it really fake, do you know all this?

"I don't know what kind of master the two kings and grandsons want to know? Since the two of you are asking the old man for advice, why don't you explain it to the old man?" Bai Gui learned of their intentions at this time, and his tone changed halfway.

"What we want to ask about is a worldly master like Mr. Guiguzi, the kind that is not often seen!" Wei Wuji said.

"Oh, I see! I have a senior uncle, who was originally the younger sister of Mr. Guiguzi, known as the 'Nine Heavens Xuannu', and can also be called a master outside the world!"

"That Nine Heavens Xuannu belongs to the 'Xuanmen'?"

"The founder of the Xuanmen!"

When the two heard this, they looked at each other, thinking that they seemed to be asking the right person, so Wei Yun couldn't help but ask again:

"Who else are they, which sects or whatever, you tell them one by one!"

"That's what the grass people know!"

"Nonsense, there are 'seven hidden' in the world, and you only said two!" Wei Yun blurted out.

When Bai Gui heard this, he looked at the situation of the two of them, and it seemed that he had something to hide, and it was inconvenient to say something directly, so he deliberately said:

"Since you know that there are 'seven hidden' in the world, why do you need to ask the old decay, isn't it a test of the old decay?" Bai Guizhi knew that this son was simple-minded, and at this time he completely changed his tone and deliberately provoked him with words.

"Of course we know, if we don't, how can we test you!" Wei Yun said solemnly.

When Bai Gui heard this, he laughed secretly in his heart, so he said:

"If the son wants to take the old decay test, it may not be difficult to live in the old decay! The old decay has been traveling from south to north for so many years, and there are many strange people and strange things in the world, how can there be old decay who does not know?"

"Then let me ask you, what is the matter with this 'Ink Man', where can I find the Ink Hero?" Wei Wei then asked.

"After Mozi, the Mo family was divided, and the disciples were scattered in various countries, among which Deng Lingzi was in the territory of Chu State, and he did many chivalrous acts of righteousness and saved people in danger, so the world called Moxia!" Bai Gui replied.

"What about the disappearance and the intention technique?" Wei Yun heard Bai Gui say clearly, and happily asked the two hidden sects.

When Bai Gui heard this, he really didn't know this, and he couldn't help but be interested in this 'Seven Hidden Secrets' in his heart!

"If the two princes and grandsons sincerely seek advice, why don't they make it clear to the old man that these 'seven hiddens' are the same as the old man, and the old man should think about it carefully and answer seriously! If the two sons only say half of the words, I am afraid it will be difficult for the old man to say it accurately!"

When Wei Yan heard this, he thought that this old man really knew a lot, and if he didn't ask him carefully, there was nothing else he could do, so he looked at Wuji and asked for his opinion. Wei Wuji was still a child after all, and he just wanted to show off in front of his father to show off his value and merits, and he felt that this Bai Gui was also a member of his Wei Kingdom, so it didn't hurt to tell him, so he nodded to Wei Wei.

Wei Jun then took out the cloth bag from his body, took out the cloth and handed it to Bai Gui. Bai Gui took a closer look, and was secretly surprised in his heart, firstly, he felt that the words in it were extraordinary, and secondly, he felt that such an important thing was in the hands of two ignorant princes and grandsons!

"Where is this coming from? Can the prince tell the old man?" Bai Gui handed the cloth to Wei Weidao.

"My grandfather Wang gave it to me, let me find the seven hidden masters among them, in order to revitalize my Great Wei!"

"Alas" Bai Gui sighed, thinking that there was really no one in this Wei country, and then said:

"Now the king is looking for talents, but also to revitalize my Great Wei, and also to seek the hermit of the master of the seven hermits!It's just that Bai Gui originally wanted to say, "It's just that this method is how to seek a real hermit master!", and wanted to tell them what this is for, so he stopped and didn't say anything.

"What's it? Do you know all these Seven Hidden Masters?" Wei Wei asked.

"Oh, it's nothing! The 'Seven Hiddens' mentioned on this cloth are indeed not the worldly masters who can be heard about or heard often, and even a person as powerful as the king can't know everything, how can I know them all?"

"Then just say a few if you know a few!" Wei Wuji said.

"My master, Mr. Guiguzi, used to live on Yunmeng Mountain, but he often travels all over the world, and I can't say where he is now! Not only him, but most of these hermit masters have no fixed residence, and it is very difficult to find them, and I am afraid that it will take some chance! Mr. Gui is proficient in the art of war, founded the theory of vertical and horizontal theory, and also knows how to do business, and I learned my business skills from him!" Bai Gui paused and continued:

"Mo Xia just said. The Nine Heavens Xuannu founded the Xuanmen, and the ability of the Xuanmen is very mysterious, with five kinds of spells: occupying, moving, retreating, circulating, and expelling, and I can't say the specifics!"

"Besides, you go on!" Wei Yun urged.

"I've never heard of disappearance and artifice, and I don't know what kind of sect it is. I know some of the upper and lower classes, Liezi is the originator of the upper and lower schools, he has two disciples, a man and a woman, the female is called Shi Lan, and the Nine Heavens Xuannu used to be in frequent contact, the male is called Du Mo, it is said that he practiced in Taihang Mountain, and set up another sect! As for the flattering attack, I only know that it originated from Daji in the Zhou Dynasty, and later the Yue Nu Mao Yan and Xi Shi got it, and then I don't know!"

"The teacher is really knowledgeable, seven out of five, and we haven't come in vain today!" Wei Wuji said happily to Wei Yun.

"Well, it says 'you can get the world if you get three or four', we already know five, let's go!" Wei Yun said happily.

Wei Jun pulled Wei Wuji to leave, and Wei Wuji hurriedly saluted Bai Gui:

"Thank you, teacher!"

"The two of you go slowly, the old decay will not be sent!" Bai Gui finished speaking, thinking in his heart.

After Wei Yun and Wei Wuji left, Bai Gui was afraid that he would not have a good memory when he was old, so he found a piece of brocade silk and wrote down the seven hidden words he had just seen word for word.
