"Your Majesty was born with knowledge, knowledge, talent, and talents all in a superior position. Zen originally thought that your Majesty was also a superior person when you came here, but it turned out that you were not... Your life was not going well at first."
"……Why do you say that?"
"If you don't start from humble beginnings, you won't value your country and your family. If you don't experience sharp pain, you won't have deep and broad compassion."
The old man stands as straight as a cypress.
Drop your hands and bow down.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. Wang Chan will go now."
Ying Chengyu held Guiguzi's hands and refused to let him go.
"No, we haven't finished talking yet. Where is the Chongtongzi? I will send people to kidnap him back. When he is raised, he will be my disciple. You can't kill him, but I can take him in."
According to the history of his previous life, Xiang Yu is only three or four years old now.
Ying Chengyu didn't know that the Qin army had unified the world ten years earlier. Under such a big change, many things are different from before.
For example, Xiang Yu's age is not three or four, but fourteen.
"It's right here in Qi. Your Majesty can just send the people yourself."
Ying Chengyu pointed at the Qidi map and said angrily:
"The land of Qi is so vast. If you don't tell me clearly where to go to find it, how can I have so many people to turn over the land of Qi? Please make it clearer and determine which city to go to."
Qi refers to the land of the original Qi State. In the late Warring States Period, the land area of Qi State was second only to Qin and Chu. If you want to find someone on the ground, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
This kind of thing is still possible in Guanzhong. Guanzhong is the most strictly controlled by Qin's laws and is the place where Qin has the strongest control. However, the land of Qi has not been baptized by the flames of war, so most of the cities have been preserved in their original appearance, and most of the company officials are original Qi officials.
The First Emperor had been arresting the descendants of the Xiang clan for so long, but Ying Chengyu didn't think he could.
"...Does Your Majesty have some misunderstandings about Onmyoji?"
"The prince's onmyoji can't even locate a specific city?"
Guiguzi couldn't help but feel suspicious when he saw Ying Chengyu speaking so easily.
"Have you ever seen others use onmyoji to determine specific directions?"
[Does the Eye of Heaven count? ]
"Never, to be precise, the prince was the first person to show the magic of Yin Yang in front of my eyes. The prince knows about me, but I never believe in this."
"There are only a few people in the world who can surpass me in yin and yang skills. There should be no one who can do what your Majesty said."
"That's it..."
Ying Chengyu nodded slightly disappointedly. The onmyoji that Guiguzi said was far from what he thought. He thought he could cultivate immortality.
"Would you please tell me what Onmyoji is?"
Ying Chengyu's face was half embarrassed and half apologetic.
"Cheng Yu saw during the day that the prince didn't want to talk, but he was really curious about this magical way."
Gui Guzi's attitude during the day was obviously that he didn't want to say more. Ying Chengyu thought that Gui Guzi would refuse to say anything.
But unexpectedly, Guiguzi was just stunned for a moment, looked at Ying Chengyu calmly, then simply sat down and said Wei.
[Old friend, the Yin and Yang family derived from your corpse family will be lost in the future...]
"What Zen uses, to be precise, is the Corpse Technique."
"Corpse technique? Which corpse?"
"Corpse of corpses."
Ying Chengyu's eyes widened with excitement, and he couldn't wait to say:
"Xiangxi corpse exorcism technique? Does the prince know this? Can he really make the corpse move freely?"
"...What nonsense are you talking about? The corpse in the corpse technique has nothing to do with the corpse. It's because the person who created this way is called Xi Jiao, so it's called the corpse path. The Yin and Yang path created by Zou Yan is to get rid of the mud from the corpse path. And come out."
"Zi Jiao?"
Ying Chengyu muttered something and hit his head.
"I seem to have heard of this name."
Guiguzi's face showed a happy expression.
"Your Majesty, have you heard of it?"
"I've probably heard of it, but I can't remember it. It's probably not too famous."
"In the heart of Zen, Confucius and Li Er are not as good as Shi Jiao."
Ying Chengyu blinked his big eyes and nodded. Although he strongly disagreed with the idea that the two saints were not as good as a lesser-known Shi Jiao, he didn't say it and there was no need to spoil Gui Guzi's interest.
If the two saints are really not as good as Shi Jiao, then why are they so unknown? There are so many unappreciated people in the world, most of them are just pretentious people.
In his opinion, Guiguzi was obviously helping relatives rather than taking care of others, and was talking big words for his old friend.
"I know that your Majesty will definitely not agree with Zen's remarks at this moment. Zen will prove to you that there should be a corpse in this world. I dare to ask your Majesty."
Guiguzi stared into Ying Chengyu's eyes.
"Have you ever heard of the word universe?"
Ying Chengyu's already widened eyes widened even more. How could he hear this word?
This was the ancient times, the Qin Dynasty, when the sky was round and the earth was round, and the earth was not yet known to be round. How could anyone know about the universe at this time?
[Is this Guiguzi also a time traveler? ]
Ying Chengyu said abruptly:
"Palace Yu Ye Liquor!"
"Is this the name of the wine your Majesty wants to brew again?"
"How about this wine!"
"...Your Majesty, are you confused? You haven't drank Zen yet."
[Even if they come from time travel, they are not Chinese. ]
Ying Chengxiao laughed twice.
"I'm confused, the prince continues. This is the first time I've heard of the word "universe". What do you mean by these two words?"
Guiguzi looked nostalgic, his eyes full of memories, and murmured:
"The four directions up and down are called the universe, and the travels between the past and the present are called the universe."
[Fuck, this explanation is kind of interesting...]
"...Is this what the corpse said?"
"Exactly."
Gui Guzi smiled happily and proudly. Ying Chengyu had never seen him look like this before.
In the Chang'an Jun's Mansion, although Gui Guzi has a strange appearance, he is very easy-going in life and work. Most people in the Chang'an Jun's Mansion regard him as an amiable old man.
However, Ying Chengxuan knew that Gui Guzi was an extremely conceited person and a person who thought highly of himself. To say he is arrogant is an exaggeration, but to say he is arrogant is to be honest.
And not only Gui Guzi, a person at the time, looked down on him, but also Gui Guzi, a historical celebrity. Guiguzi called the saints like Confucius and Laozi by their names more than once.
Even though he was addressed as Zi, his tone lacked the respect and respect that other people expressed.
But when Guiguzi said the word "corpse" just now, there was respect in his tone. Even if it is a bonus for relatives, this is very strange for the arrogant old man.
"This sentence alone should be enough to let your Majesty know how high-minded this old friend Zen is. Confucianism, Law, Taoism, and Mohism are all laws of the world. And Shi Jia talks about the laws of the universe..."
The rain outside the window is getting lighter, dripping and pattering.
The lights in the house are kept on until dawn.
The sun appeared in the sky, and the rain still hadn't stopped, but it had become a lot lighter and turned into a drizzle.
Guiguzi pushed open the door and walked out, putting his raincoat on his arm and holding an oil-paper umbrella, walking on the path above the magistrate's house. Walking to the dirt that is not covered with green bricks, one foot of mud is thrown into the ground.
The old man returned to his residence and asked the servants to bring hot water and pour it into the barrel. A large amount of hot air rose from the barrel, creating a misty atmosphere.
The old man adjusted the water temperature to the maximum heat he could bear, took off his wet clothes, and stepped into the barrel.
Except for his head, heat surged from all over his body, covering every inch of his old body. His skin quickly turned from yellow to red, the color of a cooked crab.
Steam kept rising from the barrel, and the mist soon flooded the old man's head. If there are other people here, they can only see a piece of white steam above the barrel, but not anyone inside.
"It makes sense, everything makes sense. Old friend, you once said that there is more than one world in this world, so I thought that your Majesty came from another world. Those words, scripts, and inventions are all considered to be heaven. Foreign objects. Wrong, totally wrong. Your Majesty did not come from another world, but from the future of our world.
"Why did he not want to be the king when he was born in the royal family, and insisted on bringing Ying Zheng from the Kingdom of Zhao? He clearly doesn't know the corpse arts or the yin and yang arts, and he doesn't know that Ying Zheng has the destiny of Ziwei Star. Because he will not be the king in the future. He doesn't know how to be a good king. You, me, and Ying Zheng are all history to him just like Xia and Shang.
"So he knows that Ying Zheng can be a good king, so he knows when Li Mu will be abandoned by Zhao, and can find the only time to conquer Li Mu. So he knows a lot about Confucianism, Law, Ming, and Mohism. Deep, that is something he has studied before.
"But he doesn't believe in witchcraft, corpse magic, yin and yang magic, and he has quite a lot of complaints against the doctors. It seems that these will no longer exist in the future, or have changed... The medical doctors take saving lives and healing the wounded as their mission, which can make him complain a lot, then Doctors at that time should not be considered doctors anymore. Don’t be angry to death when Bian Que comes back to life."
There was a faint sound of whimpering, like an old animal crying.
"But that's better than you. He has never heard of the corpse family and doesn't know the corpse technique. He said that your corpse master is a nobody. My old friend, Zen, is very unhappy..."
After a cup of tea, the disappearing voice sounded again.
"What he did before has always been very purposeful, as if he knew what to do was the right thing to do. But in fact, what he did was indeed a stroke of genius, but there were also many things that were ridiculous. Zen originally didn't understand why. There are two completely different ways a person behaves.
"Both mature and immature, both wise and retarded. Now it makes sense, he is just copying a cat and imitating a tiger.
"He is changing the method according to the future, so it cannot be done naturally. Although Zen can see that he has made great efforts to change according to the times and circumstances, he has not completely copied it. But the background does not change just because he wants to. He He has been moving towards an answer, he knows where his end point is, he has been building a road.
"Zen wants to help him? Help him create a world without you, without corpse path, without corpse technique. What kind of world is that? Without Heaven? He doesn't believe in Heaven. It can be seen that everything related to Heaven is gone. .
"You said that learning will lead to success, but he threw away all the accumulated knowledge in doing things. You said that following the path will lead to good luck, but he just did the opposite and went against the path to choose the big disaster. He is not a high-ranking person in the future, so why would he rather abandon it? The wealth and splendor of this life does not care about the throne of the Ying family for generations, so why should we change the law?
"This is something that even Ying Zheng, who has the fate of Ziweixing and is so powerful and ambitious that it should be difficult to find a second emperor in all eternity, cannot do it. Ying Zheng proclaimed himself the first emperor, and he also wanted to pass the throne to two generations, and then to three generations, and so on. He changed the enfeoffment into prefectures and counties in order to centralize power. He believed that he could suppress everything, and he wanted to determine all eternity with one life. He wanted to have no feudal states in the world, no one could rebel, and the Qin State would be stable forever.
"But he is not. His reform is not for the Ying family, but not for the Ying family. He is just like Mo Zhai, marching towards the dream in his heart. But Mo Zhai's dream is empty and has no place to fall. And he is Coming from the future, what he thinks about has already happened..."
The words stopped again, as if Guiguzi, who founded Zonghengxue and was famous for his talk and clever thinking, was not clear-headed and didn't know what to say.
The water vapor in the house completely enveloped the wooden barrel, and the mist rolled in the sound of water, as if there was a dragon swimming in it.
The old man's voice sounded again, his voice calm.
"Old friend, you don't have to be unhappy. Although you are not here, your theory of the universe remains. He said he didn't know the word universe, but no matter how you look at it, this is not the first time he has heard of it. What is the palace jade liquor he is talking about? How this wine is going to be is a matter that everyone will know about in the future.
"What kind of future will it be like that can allow an ordinary person to have knowledge comparable to that of the philosophers? Even if there is a prophet, it is strange to be able to avoid repeated mistakes. In the future, everyone can read and learn calligraphy Huh? His invention was published on paper and he also used simplified Chinese characters. I guess so.
"But there should be disadvantages in the future. The people's busyness should not be reduced. I can see that in addition to being self-incompetent, he also has a heartfelt dislike for not being a king. This is really strange, so that the people can You can read and be literate, but you are still doing the corvee work and you are still tired. What kind of world is this..."
The sound of muttering has been ringing for who knows how long.
Guiguzi didn't do any of today's work.
Gui Guzi understood and heard the faint voice of relief in this uninhabited place, talking to his old friend Shi Jiao.
…………
"Oh, what should I do?"
Ying Chengyu threw himself on the big bed covered with more than ten layers of animal skins, as if he had fallen on a trampoline, and bounced three times.
"What's wrong, Master?"
There was a worried look on Ding Xiang's beautiful face, worried about Ying Cheng.
"Yes, yes, sir, what's wrong with you?"
Qingmei's equally beautiful face was full of curiosity. She put her head less than three inches in front of Ying Chengyu, shook her head slightly and asked cutely.
The two girls were born within a few seconds of each other, and they looked exactly the same when they didn't speak. It was difficult to tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister. But as soon as she opens her mouth, the sisters can easily be separated.
"Go! Go! Go."
Ying Chengyu pushed Qingmei's face away and turned his head in one direction.
"I'm annoyed."
Qingmei rolled her eyes, sat down on Ying Chengyu, and picked out the bird with her little hands very naturally.
Ying Chengyu turned over and pressed Qingmei under him. He grabbed Qingmei's two restless little hands. His face was full of impatience, but he tried not to get angry and said:
"Don't make trouble, it's really annoying."
"Young Master, just tell me what's bothering you. What if Qingmei can help?"
[Help me, Guiguzi probably saw through me. It's completely exposed, and your solution is to kill Gui Guzi. ]
