Chapter 18 The Fate of the Dust
With Zhang Xun's current cultivation of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, he hurried all the way, but he arrived outside the city of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, in half a month. Zhang Xun has long been disguised as a down-and-out talent who drinks and has fun all day long, and no one can see through it unless he meets a foundation building monk. After entering Xianyang City, Zhang Xun went to the beggars to help Xianyang divide the rudder. When he saw the helmsman Chai Xinmin, he asked in detail about the situation in the Qin State in recent years, especially about Wendao. Chai Xinmin first introduced the relevant situation, and finally sighed and said: "Hey! After burning books and pit Confucianism, only the Legalists are left in the Qin State. At the beginning of this year, King Qin attacked the Legalists again. The two of them also suffered the sin of the new law they had created, and they were divided into five horses, which is really miserable! Now the world is really getting more and more chaotic. "The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Chai Xinmin may just be complaining, Zhang Xun thought in his heart: "Yes! Qin State has always been the base camp of the Legalists. How did I forget the Legalists. ”
Leaving Xianyang Branch, it was time for lunch, Zhang Xun found a stall to taste the flavor of Guanzhong, especially the authentic mutton steamed bun, which is really a rare enjoyment to eat in the mouth and warm in the heart. After checking out and leaving, I thought of the Legalist family, so I went to the Ming Law Society. Whether in Zhang Xun's previous life or in this life, the fate of the Legalists is very tragic, and the sentence "I can't punish the doctor" says how much bitterness and helplessness. In the Wenchang Continent, Han Feizi is just a half-saint. However, in the Qin State, the Legalists have an extraordinary status, and they still attract some talents to join. This Ming Dharma Society is located next to the Han Ancestral Hall, which is a gathering place for Legalists and scribes in Xianyang and even the entire Qin State, and Zhang Xun came here to see.
When I came to the Ming Law Society, there were banners of famous sayings of Legalism on the wall, and Zhang Xun had also read "Shang Gongshu" and "Han Feizi" in his previous life, so he was no stranger to these. Gu Sifa, the president of the Ming Law Society, saw that Zhang Xun was very angry, so he said to Zhang Xun: "This brother is very faceless! I don't know what is the matter here? If you need help, please speak up to this brother." I am Gu Sifa, and I am the president of this Ming Fa Society. Zhang Xun said: "It turned out to be President Gu, Zhang is just a down-and-out scholar who borrows alcohol to kill his sorrows, and he comes here to take a look when he has nothing to do, and I'm sorry to disturb Brother Gu." Gu Sifa said: "The person who comes is a guest, why bother? Brother Zhang doesn't seem to be a member of the Legalist family, but he has studied the way of the Legalist family quite a bit. Did Gu say something wrong?" Zhang Xun said: "Brother Gu said that he laughed, Zhang has just developed the habit of reading but has no hope of fame, and he has nothing to do, and he reads hundreds of schools. Although they all dabbled, none of them were proficient, and they didn't dare to use the word research. This is, another Legalist scribe came in and said to Gu Sifa: "Brother Gu, you have a guest! Then we will talk another day." Gu Sifa said: "Brother Zou, don't be busy leaving, let me introduce you, this Brother Zhang is a learned talent." Brother Zhang, this is Zou Hang, who is the leader of the Legalist scribes in the Qin State in recent years. I made an appointment with him to discuss the Fa here today, and since Brother Zhang has met, we might as well join us!" Zhang Xun said: "Since Brother Gu sincerely invited him to participate, then Zhang will be cheeky to disturb the two." ”
followed Gu Sifa and Zou Hang to a quiet room, and after sitting down, Gu Sifa said: "Today's topic of our discussion is 'the rule of law by the border', do you have any objections?" Zou Hang and Zhang Xun said according to what Brother Gu said. So a discussion on the rule of law began, from shallow to deep, discussing the successes and failures of more than a dozen large and small changes in the law of various dynasties and vassal states over the past few thousand years from the birth of Legalism to the rise of Qiang Qin. Zhang Xun didn't speak much, mainly listening to Gu Sifa and Zou Hang, both of whom were rare talents among the current Legalists. The two of them expounded the law from two different directions, allowing Zhang Xun to have a detailed understanding of the changes and development of the mainland legalists in Wenchang for thousands of years. In the end, Zhang Xun said to Gu Sifa and Zou Hang: "Brother Gu, Brother Zou, the Legalists were born at the wrong time! The only few successful changes to the Legalists were all chess pieces, which were used by the monarch, and after success, the Legalists were left aside. Zhang believes that in order to achieve the beautiful vision of the Legalist "rule of law by law", it is necessary to unify the world and realize the prosperity of the people. After listening to this, Gu Sifa and Zou Hang felt that what Zhang Xun said was very reasonable, so they said to Zhang Xun: "Brother Zhang, it is really a word that woke up the dreamer!" Zhang Xun said: "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." Zhang is not a member of the Legalist family and has no obsession, so he can see it more clearly. Brother Gu, Brother Zou, that's all for today's discussion of the Fa! Zhang Mou first came to Xianyang, and he bothered the two of them to find an elegant and quiet place, how about Zhang Mou have a few drinks together?" Gu Sifa said: "Brother Zhang is a guest from afar, how can there be a reason for you to be the east? If you really want to be the east and spread it, won't it make people laugh at me that I don't know how to be a courtesy." As for the place to drink, it's troublesome Brother Zou. This is the most well-known Qinchi Daqu in Xianyang, which ordinary people can't drink, and Brother Zou can drink it at any time. "It turns out that Zou Hang has a confidante with a confidant, whose surname is Qiao'er. After her father's death, she ran the family heirloom restaurant Piaoxiang Building, and also personally brewed good liquor, and after Qiaoer tasted Zou Hang, Zou Hang named it Qinchi Daqu, which became popular all over Xianyang City as soon as it was listed.
The three of them came to Piaoxiang Building, went to the private room, and after a while, a table of dishes came up, and a beautiful girl in her twenties gave four pots of wine and looked at Zou Hang with affection and left, presumably it was the proprietress of Piaoxiang Building, Qiao'er girl. There is wine and food, the three of them frequently raise their glasses, you come and go, and the three of them have fun for an hour. Taking advantage of the convenience of Gu Sifa, Zhang Xun said to Zou Hang: "Brother Zou, in fact, Zhang has changed his face due to the inconvenience of his identity, and my real identity is Zhang Xun. This time I came to Qin State to specifically look for you, Brother Zou. Zou Hang said: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhang, no wonder his insights are extraordinary." I don't know what to do with looking for Zou?" Zhang Xun said: "This matter is a long story, let's wait until we send the ancient brother back to talk." ”
After sending Gu Sifa back, Zhang Xun and Zou Hang returned to Piaoxiang Building. After coming to the private room and restoring his original appearance, Zhang Xun said to Zou Hang: "Brother Zou, the reason why I have been silent for ten years, so that "Zhang Lang's talent" is known to the whole world is because I want to hide people's eyes. I realized that the revitalization of Wendao is not just about writing a few peerless poems and writing a few splendid articles, but about finding the geniuses of Wendao in the vast sea of people in the world and protecting them before the war begins. If you don't appear in the world, you can meditate on the Tao with peace of mind, and then be born to revive the Tao after the world is stable, so as to benefit the common people. These Wendao wizards I call Wendao seeds, one in each of the seven countries. So I started traveling around the world just over six years ago in search of the seeds of literature. Brother Zou, you are the last Wendao seed I am looking for, and the other six have already cultivated Wendao in an unknown place without asking about the world. I call it Xingwen Academy, and I look forward to Brother Zou joining. Zou Hang said: "Mr. Zhang, there is no problem for Zou to join the Xingwen Academy, it's just Qiao'er she" Zhang Xun said: "On the day of the spring equinox next year, the King of Qin will raise troops to attack the Six Kingdoms, and Miss Qiao'er's business is afraid that it will not be easy to do." I take the liberty of asking, does Brother Zou have any intention of Miss Qiao'er?" Zou Hang said: "Zou has already decided that Qiao'er will not marry her." It's just that Zou has not established an inch of business, so why should he be at home. Zhang Xun said: "How about I come to witness your marriage?" Zou Hang said: "With Mr. Zhang, Qiao'er is also beautiful." Okay, Zou will go and talk to Qiao'er. ”
Three days later, Qiao'er sold Piaoxiang Building with great reluctance, gave the guys who had followed the Shi family for many years a sum of silver, and followed his sweetheart Zou Hang to the carriage arranged by the beggar gang and went all the way to Laiwu in Lu Country. Two months later, when he arrived in Laiwu, after seeing the coachman of the beggar gang drive away, Zhang Xun took Zou Hang and Shi Qiaoer, a couple who were about to get married, into the secret realm and went to Xingwen Academy. Seeing that Xingwen Academy seemed to be going to do a happy event, Zhang Xun felt strange, just saw Bai Wen come out, and when he stepped forward to ask, he learned that it was Song Ping and his sister-in-law Murong Shuang who fell in love with each other when he was in retreat and practiced, and after more than half a year of getting along, they recognized each other, and they were going to get married in three days. Zhang Xun said to Zou Hang and Shi Qiao'er: "Brother Zou, Miss Qiao'er, if you don't mind, the marriage will be done together in three days!" Zou Hang and Shi Qiao'er said in unison: "Everything is up to Mr. Zhang, we have no opinion." Zhang Xun said to Bai Wen again: "Bai Wen, this Brother Zou is the last scholar, you take them down to rest first." ”
In the next two days, Zhang Xun's four wives went out of the customs one after another, and their cultivation reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. And unlike Zhang Xun, who only practiced the exercises alone, Xiaoxue, Bihe, and Yuchan all practiced their three stunts to the realm of Xiaocheng, and some spells could also be used flexibly. As for Xin Lan, she is already a trainee alchemist. Xin Lan's success rate in refining a pint of pills has reached fifty percent, and when it reaches thirty percent, she can pass the assessment of a trainee alchemist in Penglai Immortal Island. Xin Lan has only been in contact with alchemy for more than a year, and she has achieved such an achievement in Dan Dao, which shows that her Dan Dao talent is high.
Murong Xue was the last to go out, and she was very happy to hear that her sister Murong Shuang was going to get married tomorrow. I thought that I was a sister who always had to give some birth gifts, but I didn't have time to prepare. asked Zhang Xundao: "Husband, what gift should we give to Xiaoshuang to congratulate her on her new marriage?" Zhang Xun thought about it and said, "Xiaoshuang, you are a rare ice spirit root, and now you have perfected your qi. Although you have never practiced the talisman seal, I think you can succeed a few times in one night. Just give her a few ice charms that you made yourself. Murong Xue went to make talismans, and Zhang Xun went to Xinlan's room, as the so-called long-term absence is better than the newlywed, and the two of them comforted the pain of lovesickness overnight.
The next day, Xingwen Academy was extremely festive and lively, and the two couples made a vow of love here, and they would never be separated. Murong Ruthless and Ouyang Qin saw that their youngest daughter was also married to a wife, and the only piece of heart disease was gone, as if they were twenty years younger. Shi Qiaoer married her sweetheart Zou Hang as she wished, in short, everyone in the secret territory was very happy.
A few days later, Zhang Xun accompanied Xinlan Bihe's two daughters to He Mansion and sent the Yishou Pill refined by Xinlan to the He family and his wife and Steward Han. Although this Yishou Pill is only an unqualified pill, it is suitable for mortals to take and can increase life for ten years, so Xin Lan practiced a furnace during retreat and gave it to her relatives.
