Jixia School Palace is equivalent to the Chinese Academy of Qi State, in addition to the National School Museum, there are also many second- and third-rate schools and private schools next to it. The two of them had nothing to do, so they first visited a few inferior schools, planning to accumulate some contacts first, introduce them through acquaintances, and then go to the Jixia School Palace to visit those celebrities and scholars. After coming and going several times, the two heard about the "school palace maze" that day. After hearing this, Shi Shenfu was a little surprised in his heart, and he wanted to know more about the situation at that time; after Wang Xu heard this, he remembered Tian Dan in his heart.

Tian Dan is the grandson of Tian Pan and the son of the Tian family, but he is a concubine. Since the study of the palace mystery, folk rumors have spread everywhere, and it is inevitable that Tian Dan will become more and more divine, saying that he and Tian Wen, the son of Tian Ying, are the same as the concubine, but he is a genius and pillar sent by God to save the Qi country. After hearing this, Tian Dan's mother, Mo Shi, felt very uncomfortable. As the mother of the Tian family, his own son will naturally be the heir to the Tian family's achievements in the future, and Tian Dan's growing reputation poses a great threat to her son's inheritance of the family business. Mo Shi is in a dilemma with Tian Dan's mother and son everywhere at home, Tian Dan is about fourteen or fifteen years old at this time, it is when he is young and vigorous, it is inevitable that he can't help but sometimes can't help but say a few words against Mo.

On this day, Mo insulted Tian Dan under the pretext of insulting Tian Dan, Tian Dan was angry and collided back, so Mo immediately ran to complain to Tian Pan's eldest son Tian Yang. Tian Yang immediately called Tian Dan to scold, Tian Dan was even more angry that his father did not distinguish between right and wrong, was cowardly and incompetent, and couldn't help but collide with his father again. At this time, Confucius and Mencius prevailed in the Qi Kingdom, Confucianism was in power, and the world attached great importance to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, father and son. Tian Dan bumped into his father, which was an unfilial and unvirtuous act, and Tian Yang was angry and punished Tian Dan to kneel outside the door.

Just when Tian Dan was punished by his father to kneel, Shi Shenfu and Wang Xu were wandering on the street, and the two talked about the mystery of Tian Dan and Xuegong, Wang Xu found someone at random and asked:

"Sir, do you know where Tian Dan's family lives?"

"It's not far, it's just ahead, turn left and you're there!"

As soon as the two heard this, they walked towards Tiandan's residence. After walking a short distance, I arrived at Tianfu and saw that there were many people around the door of Tiandan's house, pointing and commenting. Wang Xu Dingqing saw that a child of the same age as him was punished to kneel at the door, and Wang Xu asked, this person was Tian Dan.

"It's been a long time since I've been on my knees, and no one has come out to ask for a question!" the man said.

"The master mother does not allow it, how can life be good, it is really jealous of talents!" said another woman.

"This is not true! Don't you hear Mencius say: 'Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically'!

When Shi Shenfu heard this, he glanced at Wang Xu, and took a few steps closer to Tian Dan. Shi Shenfu collected his thoughts again, intending to find out what Tian Dan was thinking at this time, and found that Tian Dan seemed to have thousands of troops fighting in his mind. Shi Shenfu was startled, looked at Tian Dan's eyes, and found that Tian Dan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat from the two armies in his heart, and it was uncertain.

"This kid is at ease, but kneeling here and thinking about it in his heart, as if there is no one around, it's very interesting!" Shi Shenfu thought to himself.

"Hey, have you decided the winner?" Shi Shenfu then asked Tian Dan.

When Tian Dan heard this, he looked at Shi Shenfu with wide eyes in surprise and said:

"Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Don't be surprised! There's someone in your head who is fighting, and they're fighting hard to solve, right?"

"Strange, strange! You're right!" Tian Dan said happily.

"My eldest brother is a fairy, but you have something in your heart, he can know everything!" Wang Xu said with a smile.

Tian Dan listened, got up and stood up and said:

"Come with me!" said that, regardless of the punishment and kneeling and the crowd of onlookers next to him, he pulled Wang Xu and Shi Shenfu and walked down the street. Walking into an uninhabited alley, Tian Dan said to Shi Shenfu:

"Is there really a 'mind control technique' in this world? Can you really find out people's minds?"

"Well, I was about to ask you about the school palace that day!" Shi Shenfu nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm going to test you, can you really tell my mind?" Tian Dan said.

"The trail is still shallow, and I can only know a little bit about it!" Shi Shenfu said.

"It's amazing to know a little bit about it! I'll test you some simple ones!" Tian Dan continued:

"I'm silently thinking about someone in my heart, if only you told me who it is!"

"It's so easy, let's get started!" Shi Shenfu said.

Tian Dan then began to meditate in his heart, Shi Shenfu approached Tian Dan, concentrated his thoughts, and then said in his mouth:

"Mencius ┄┄ Grandpa Tian Pan ┄ ┄ Guiguzi!"

"God, God, God!" Tian Dan shouted excitedly at Wang Xu.

"I didn't lie to you, do you want to try again?" Wang Xu said to Tian Dan with a smile.

"Don't try, don't try again! Tian Dan greets the gods!" Tian Dan said to Shi Shenfu.

"Xiaodao is not an immortal, why do you both call me an immortal?" Shi Shenfu said.

"Isn't this amazing! How can I know what I'm thinking if I'm not an immortal?" Tian Dan said.

"The person who used the 'mind control technique' in the school palace that day was a cut above my Dao technique, isn't he an immortal among the immortals?" Shi Shenfu said.

"Well, that's right! Tell me what kind of spell this 'mind control technique' is, why is it so magical?"

"Let's not talk about this for now, go back and kneel, lest you be punished more severely!" said the king.

"By the way, I just cared about talking, and I haven't asked the two honorable names yet!" Tian Dan said.

"My name is Wang Xu, this is my sworn brother Shi Shenfu, he is a disciple of Gande!" Wang Xu said.

"Gander? No wonder? Gander is really a master in the world! Now the little brother is convinced!" Tian Dan said after speaking:

"I don't want to go back, I'm going to worship Mr. Guiguzi as a teacher and learn the art of war and strategy from him!"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean!" said Wang Xu happily.

"I also came out alone, and now I am traveling with my eldest brother, and I am seeking to worship famous people and learn art!"

"Listening to your accents, it seems that you are not from my Qi country, what are you doing here in Linzi City?" Tian Dan asked.

"Go to the Jixia School Palace to learn the arts!" replied Wang Xu.

"Hey, the palace is full of Confucian scholars, don't learn it! If there is turmoil today, a good man should learn the skills of Wu Qi and Sun Bin!" Tian Dan said.

"Hundreds of schools of thought, the way of Confucius and Mencius, although it is not useless, there is indeed no need to practice it for life! Since you want to worship Mr. Guiguzi as a teacher, let's go together!" Wang Xu said.

"I just don't know where to go to apprenticeship? I don't know if Mr. Guiguzi is willing to accept us as a student?" Tian Dan said.

"It's not difficult to find Mr. Guiguzi, I have a way! But whether he accepts you as a student or not depends on your creation!" Shi Shenfu said.

"Those two brothers, wait for me for a day, I will go back and quit my parents, and I will come tomorrow!" Tian Dan said.

"Alright, we'll wait for you to go on the road together!" Wang Xu said happily.

When Tiandan arrived at home, he visited his father and said to his father:

"Father, the child did not kneel according to your request, just because he has something important, please forgive the child!"

"You're old now, and you don't talk back to your mother, or even listen to your father, don't you!" Tian Yang said in a non-yin and non-yang manner.

"The child will go away from his father, away from his father for a while, and hope that his father will forgive his son for his unfilial piety!"

"Let's go, you won't be obedient anyway, just treat me as if I don't have your son!" Tian Yang said angrily, originally he just said something casually, and he didn't take what he said to his son seriously.

Tian Dan then saw his mother, walked over and hugged her and cried.

"What's wrong with my son? He knelt for an hour, why is this so? You are not usually as cowardly as this?" Tian's mother Zhou patted Tian Dan's shoulder and comforted.

Tian Dan left his mother's embrace, knelt down and said:

"Mother, the child is leaving you! the child is too old to be dependent on your arms anymore!"

"Oh, I see, don't be sad for my son, my mother is glad to hear you say this!"

"Mother said this, the child is grateful! The child will leave tomorrow, and I will talk to my mother tonight!"

"Son, my mother is really happy! My son has indeed grown up and is sensible, and my mother is relieved!"

When Tian Dan heard his mother say this, he was also happy to have such a reasonable mother, so he cleaned the house inside and out, and explained to a few good people in the family, and was ready to go out.

In the evening, the mother and son had dinner, sat in the hall and talked about their hearts, Tian Dan said to his mother:

"Mother, now that I'm gone, Mo Shi won't embarrass you anymore, if she asks me another day, you just say that I went to seek Taoism and practice, Mo Yan is anything else!"

"Mother doesn't matter, so many years have passed, and my mother has not suffered! But you are alone, you have to take care of yourself, don't let your mother worry!"

"The son understands his mother's intentions, and his mother was angry with her a lot in order to send her son to study in the school palace that day, these are all for her son, how can the son not know that the son will definitely succeed in his studies, and he will shine in the future and win glory for his mother!"

"My son is smart and a pillar of the country, and people are true! My mother still has a sentence to say to you, you need to be diligent and humble when you study abroad, and you must be humble and modest, and you must not be rigid and self-serving, and insist on going your own way!"

"Children should remember their mother's teachings! Mothers should also take care of their health, so that their sons can walk at ease!"

"Mother is fine, you don't need to remember! Even if you succeed in your studies, you must know how to keep quiet and wait for the opportunity! I think your grandfather Tian Pan and Prime Minister Tian Ying are both pillars of the country, but your grandfather is much more cautious and low-key than Tian Ying!"

"What the mother said is good, the son has written it down, the son understands the way of the minister, and he will definitely wear out his spirit, be respectful and diligent, and not disgrace the family!"

The mother and son talked to each other and chatted until late at night.

Early the next morning, Tian left his mother alone, and left the house in the morning. Tian Dan quickly found Wang Xu and Shi Shenfu's residence, and found that they had not yet gotten up, just squatting at the door, waiting for them to get up and open the door.

After a while, Shi Shenfu got up and opened the door, and Yingtian Shan entered the house. When Wang Xu heard the voice, he got up and saw Tian Dan come as scheduled with a salute, and he was very happy.

The three of them first bowed to their brothers, and then made a careful calculation, preparing to go to Chu State first, to the Taoist temple before Shi Shenfu to inquire about the whereabouts of Guiguzi, and by the way, ask Shi Shenfu's fellow Taoist friends about Qiyin, and then make plans.

When the three of them were on the road, Wang Xu saw Tian Dan carrying a sword, so he asked:

"Tian Dan, do you know martial arts, what do you do with a sword?"

"I don't just know martial arts, my martial arts are very good, my grandfather taught them personally!" Tian Dan said proudly.

"That's very good! It seems that the two of us have found a good brother!" Shi Shenfu said to Wang Xu with a smile.

Tian Dan has always been curious about Shi Shenfu's special skills, so he said:

"The eldest brother has a unique skill, but he claims to be a small way, and he doesn't want to gain fame, but he mixes with the two of us, isn't he willing to fall?"

"Hey, I was an official in the Wei court in the past, and I almost lost my head, so don't mention it! If you want to say that you have a unique skill, it's just that you two don't know the truth, and my little ability, in the eyes of people in the Tao, is really not worth mentioning!" Shi Shenfu said.

"What do you mean when you say that the people I met in the Academy Palace that day were a cut above you?" Tian Dan asked.

"I can't say this either! The one that person performed is called the 'Mind Technique', which may be the Mind Technique mentioned in the Seven Hidden Arts, and I can't be sure. I learned what is called 'Observing the Heavens', if you want to observe the heavens, you must first observe people, although this technique of observing people is different from the mind and mind, but it seems to have the same magic, I can't say the difference, if my master is here, he will definitely be able to say it clearly! It is more difficult to control people's minds than to observe people's minds and thoughts, and that person can control the thoughts and minds of seven children, and the natural Taoism is a cut higher than mine!" Shi Shenfu said.

"How can a person detect or control the minds of others? It seems to me that it is incredible!" Tian Dan said.

"This requires talent and practice, I just don't have much talent, I only learned a little fur, I was abused by my senior brother all day long, and when the master was away, he kicked me out!

"Some people say that you are not a mortal, but a god sent by God to save the Qi Kingdom, it seems that you are both gods, and I am the only mortal!" Wang Xu said with a smile.

"Wrong! What is it that can be called a brother and sister to an immortal?" Shi Shenfu said deliberately.

"Hahaha┄┄Then let's all be immortals!" Tian Dan said with a smile, and then remembered the events of the day, so he asked Shi Shenfu:

"It's strange to say, why was I not the only one of the eight people who was confused by that person's mental tricks that day, and didn't write the words 'Tian Ying rebelled'?"

"You must be concentrating on one thing while that person is performing the spell, if you think about it, but that's the case!" Shi Shenfu asked.

"Naturally, Mr. has assigned homework, and I am concentrating on thinking, how can I be distracted!" Tian Dan replied.

"Compared to the other seven children, your concentration and willpower are much higher than theirs, so that person didn't have time to affect your will in a hurry, so you weren't swayed by his mental skills!" Shi Shenfu said.

"In this way, you are indeed not an ordinary person, at least you are the first among those eight people!" Wang Xu praised Tian Dan.

"It should be said that it is one in a million! Not only him, but you too!" Shi Shenfu said to Wang Xu.

"Am I?

"At least for a certain period of time, you can be very focused and determined!I have discovered when I have explored your minds, and your minds are easily perceived by me, because your minds are too powerful!" Shi Shenfu said.

"Isn't that bad, so easy for you to know what we think!" said the king.

"Naturally, it's good! I can know what you're thinking, but others don't have the ability to do it!" Shi Shenfu said.

"Then how do you know what we're thinking?" Tian Dan asked.

"As I just said, what I learned is called 'Observing the Heavens', and if you want to observe the sky, you must first learn to observe people, and to observe people is to observe people's hearts. Therefore, in order to understand what the will of heaven means, we must understand the direction of the people's hearts! However, the people's hearts are unpredictable, and people are accustomed to being different from what they are looking at, so although our school is a technique of observing the heavens, they also know how to secretly observe people's hearts. My mind is dull, and it is difficult for me to succeed in cultivation, but it is the master who has helped me open a door in my mind, so that I can spy on people's hearts and secretly observe people's opinions!" Shi Shenfu said.

"It's too mysterious, I don't understand!" Wang Xu said.

"If you say it, you don't say it!" Tian Dan complained.

"Let's put it this way, if you two want to learn my skills, as long as you follow me and learn it, you can learn it in less than a year, and you don't need my master to teach it personally!

"Then you can teach us quickly!" Tian Dan said happily.

"Yes, teach us two!" Wang Xu said.

"I can't teach you now, I'm going to see my second senior brother and others in a few days to ask about Guiguzi's whereabouts, if they find out that I have passed on the master's Taoist skills to outsiders, it won't be good!" Shi Shenfu said.

"There's no hurry, you can teach us later!" Tian Dan said.

"If someone can learn all the secret techniques of these seven hidden techniques, it will be amazing!" Wang Xu said.

The three of them walked together, talking and laughing all the way, and headed in the direction of Chu State.
