Lin Feng entered the room and saw Xunzi and Li Cihang. He looked at Xunzi, lifted up his robe, knelt down, kowtowed respectfully and said, "Disciple, pay my respects to the teacher."
Among the memories Lin Feng obtained, many of his childhood memories were related to Xunzi.
It was Xunzi who taught him to read.
It was Xunzi who taught him the art of war.
It was Xunzi who taught him how life should be.
All of this is Xunzi. For Lin Feng, this is a person no less than his father, like his teacher and father, he is Xunzi.
"Get up, get up quickly."
Xunzi's old face was full of kindness.
More proud.
He could also hear clearly what Lin Feng said outside the residence earlier. He was proud of Lin Feng, proud of Lin Feng. The youngest disciple under his sect has now truly grown up and can truly stand on his own.
Xunzi looked at Lin Feng and saw that Lin Feng was more handsome and mature, and he felt even more satisfied.
In the past, when he and Lin Feng separated, Lin Feng was still young.
Now I have grown up.
Xunzi pointed at Li Cihang and introduced: "This is Li Cihang, the former master of Taixuan Dao. According to your seniority, you should call him uncle. He is a great master, and you are also a martial artist. Ask him for advice."
Li Cihang's cheeks twitched.
Old man.
As expected, he really knows how to calculate, and he even has connections with the old Taoist here.
Li Cihang's face was filled with a smile and he praised: "It is not easy to step into the master realm at a young age. If you have any doubts, you can come to the old Taoist."
"Thank you, uncle."
Lin Feng smiled and agreed.
No wonder the teacher is not afraid of people from Jixia Academy making trouble.
With the Grand Master by his side, Li Cihang could lead Xunzi out even if the army came to kill him, let alone the people from Jixia Academy who came to cause trouble.
"You master and disciple haven't seen each other for a long time. I won't interrupt you. Let's chat."
Li Cihang stood up and left.
Master and disciple Xunzi and Lin Feng were the only two people left in the room.
Xunzi's face became serious and he said slowly: "Xiaojiu, the current situation in Qi is quite complicated. You are here on behalf of Da Qin. You want to promote the union of Da Qin and Qi. You can't make any mistakes. But now, because of I, have you seriously considered intervening in Buddhist matters?"
Xiaojiu is Xunzi’s name for Lin Feng.
Xunzi had nine disciples.
Lin Feng ranked ninth and was a close disciple of Xunzi.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Teacher, don't worry, I have made sufficient preparations. What's more, my trip is only to persuade Qi not to send troops to attack Qin, which is not difficult. The main thing now is teacher. Because it involves teacher and Buddhism. The conflict between them is a little more complicated.”
Xunzi asked: "What do you think of this matter?"
Lin Feng replied: "About the conflict between the teacher and the Buddhists, the disciples have learned something about it. The main reason for this matter is that Senior Brother Liu wrote to the Emperor of Qi, saying that Buddhism had occupied too much land in Qi and should take back the Buddhist land in Qi, causing conflict."
Xunzi nodded and said: "Your senior brother's letter to the emperor originally only aroused discussion in the court, and the situation never expanded. If I didn't express my position, even if there were some disturbances in the court, it would only be limited to the court and would not expand the scope. Because I Taking action only caused the matter to escalate. In fact, this was my intention."
"why?"
Lin Feng also had doubts in his heart.
Liu Gui served as the emperor's liberator in Qi State. He had considerable influence and was a knowledgeable person. Why did he allow Xunzi to intervene?
This is what Lin Feng is confused about.
Xunzi explained: "Because I know that you are coming to Linzi, Qi State, to stir up this matter and wait for you to solve it."
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.
Very unexpected.
Xunzi was waiting for him to come.
Xunzi treated his disciples very well and was not someone who cheated his disciples. Xunzi even looked after Lin Feng like a father. When Lin Feng was young, his grandfather and father died early, and his mother also died in depression.
Xunzi was like a father to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng thought in his heart.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he asked: "Teacher, do you want me to become famous through this incident? You want the Buddhist sect of Qi to be my stepping stone."
Xunzi stroked his beard and smiled, with a look of relief on his face, and praised: "That's true."
Lin Feng said: "Such an arrangement is unfair to Senior Brother Liu. He is caught in the turmoil."
Xunzi explained: "Liu Gui was voluntary. The reason for the incident was that Liu Gui visited me at Jixia Academy. After drinking some wine, he confided in him that he was worried that Buddhism would become a hidden danger to Qi. So I took advantage of the situation and proposed Solution strategy. He is responsible for writing to the court, I will add more fuel to the fire, and then you will solve it."
Lin Feng said: "Teacher and senior brother, you really think highly of your disciples. Aren't you afraid of my failure?"
Xunzi's soft face was full of confidence, and he said: "No matter what happens, there is still a teacher here. What are you afraid of? Just do it. Don't worry. What's more, my little nine-er is enough to hold up the sky and is enough to cope with the situation. everything."
"You will have more difficult and complicated problems to face in your future. I believe you can solve this trivial matter about Buddhism. As long as you solve this matter, you will become famous and have a different resume. .”
"Anyway, I'll take care of everything for you."
Xunzi said: "Now that we have come to Linzi, we will turn him upside down without any worries."
Lin Feng was moved, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, teacher."
Xunzi said: "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk, why are you being so formal? If you really want to thank the teacher, you should give the teacher some of the West Wind Drunk you brewed in Daqin. You know the teacher, so that's it. This bite."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Of course a teacher is indispensable."
"Gao Xiaoyu."
Lin Feng gave an order.
"exist!"
Gao Xiaoyu walked in from outside.
Lin Feng ordered: "Bring in the Xifeng Zui I specially prepared for the teacher."
"Here!"
Gao Xiaoyu turned around and retreated.
Not long after, Gao Xiaoyu entered with a jar of wine.
Lin Feng took it, put it in front of Xunzi, and said with a smile: "Teacher, this is a jar of West Wind Drunken specially brewed for you. It was brewed last year and has been left to settle. It has been several months now, and the taste is quite good. So mellow. Would you like to try it now?"
"Of course I have to try."
Xunzi's eyes lit up, he stroked the beard under his chin with an expectant look on his face.
Lin Feng brought the wine bottle, opened the wine jar, filled a glass of wine for Xunzi, and said with a smile: "Teacher, please have a taste."
Xunzi took it and sniffed lightly.
The rich fragrance hits your nose.
This jar of Xifeng Zui is brewed with distiller's yeast. It is more mellow than the wine purified directly by distillation, and the taste has a more complex mellow aroma and strong taste.
"Good wine."
Xunzi sighed in admiration.
He took a sip, and the mellow aroma of the wine spread from his tongue and taste buds. Xunzi squinted his eyes slightly, looking intoxicated.
His whole person felt like he was in a state of ecstasy.
Lin Feng reminded: "There are many West Wind drunks in Daqin. Teacher, you can drink as much as you want. However, drinking too much wine can harm your health, so it is best to drink in moderation."
Xunzi took another sip, with a satisfied look on his face, and said with a smile: "I understand."
He breathed a sigh of relief, changed the topic, and continued: "Let's get back to the topic, I will let you take full responsibility for dealing with Buddhism. Where do you plan to start, and do you need my help to open the situation first?"
Lin Feng said: "To deal with Buddhism, I will take the most extreme method and argue for Buddhism in the city. Teacher said this matter is a test, so I will wait and see what happens. Disciple, I will solve this matter satisfactorily."
Xunzi asked: "Are you sure?"
"Of course!"
Lin Feng answered firmly.
Xunzi said: "That's good. If you need my help, don't be polite. Come directly to Jixia Academy to find me. It is natural for a teacher to help his disciples. It is natural for a disciple to ask for help from his teacher, and he is not shabby. .”
Lin Feng said: "Disciple understands."
Xunzi asked Lin Feng about what happened in Daqin again. The master and the apprentice talked, and time passed by unconsciously. In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and Lin Feng had lunch with Xunzi before leaving. Xunzi returned to the room alone, thinking about Lin Feng now, with a happy smile on his old face.
His little Jiu'er has grown up and is now an eagle spreading its wings to fight against the sky.
When Xunzi was thinking about Lin Feng, Li Cihang entered. Just as he was about to speak, his breath twitched and his expression became urgent. He strode forward, sat down in front of Xunzi, bent down and sniffed, and asked, "Old guy, are you hiding some good wine?"
Xunzi said, "What did you say?"
Li Cihang calmed down his eager expression, with a smile on his face, and said: "Brother Xun, your room is filled with the aroma of good wine. Although the taste is very weak, I am very sensitive to good wine. Very, you can smell it.”
Xunzi asked: "Do you want to drink?"
"certainly."
Li Cihang answered with a smile.
Xunzi took out the Xifeng Zui that had been set aside and opened the stopper slightly. A strong fragrance wafted out.
"Hey, good wine, good wine."
The look in Li Cihang's eyes was even brighter, and he praised: "The aroma of this wine is very unique. It is not the Chaotian He from the Xia Kingdom, nor the Nine Layers Flame from the Yan Kingdom, nor the thyme from the Jin Kingdom. This wine has a richer flavor, please tell me. , what kind of wine is it?”
Xunzi looked proud and said: "This is the West Wind Drunk brewed by Xiaojiu, specially sent to me."
At the end, he sounded even more serious.
A proud look on his face.
Li Cihang was so excited that he swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Xun, do you think our relationship is good enough? I have been by your side all these years. I am the one who protects you and keeps you safe."
Xunzi curled his lips and said: "You are obviously the one who eats and drinks, you are talking about protection, you are really thick-skinned?"
Li Cihang didn't care about Xunzi's words and said again: "No matter what, I have no credit, but I have hard work. Give me a small cup, a glass of wine is enough. Brother Xun, although Linzi is prosperous, there is no such wine, you As soon as the west wind comes out, the gluttons in my stomach are aroused. Come on, have a drink."
Xunzi said: "I agree to one condition, and I will give you this jar of West Wind Drunk."
Li Cihang said: "I promise, give it to me quickly."
Xunzi, however, guarded the wine jar and said, "Listen to what I have to say and think carefully."
Li Cihang looked anxious, staring straight at the wine jar, and said, "Speak quickly, speak quickly."
Xunzi said: "Xiao Jiu is in Linzi. Under normal circumstances, no one can hurt him. Once a great master wants to kill him, you must protect his safety."
Li Cihang said: "No problem, bring me the wine."
Xunzi handed it over directly, taking the wine bottle with him.
Li Cihang directly filled a glass of wine and took a sip. As West Wind Drunk entered his mouth, the aroma of the wine filled the air. Li Cihang shook his head slightly, with a look of joy on his face, and murmured: "Comfortable, this West Wind Drunk is so comfortable, what a good wine! This wine should only be found in heaven, and it is rare to drink a glass of it in the world." ah."
Xunzi looked at Li Cihang and said solemnly: "Brother Li, thank you very much."
"No, don't do this."
Li Cihang took another sip of wine and curled his lips and said, "When you call me 'Brother Li', my scalp goes numb and I feel uncomfortable all over. That is, that guy Lin Feng, who dares to resist in front of so many people in Jixia Academy?" Everyone criticizes him. The old Taoist thinks he is good and quite to his liking."
Xunzi smiled softly.
This is Li Cihang's nature. A great master like him wants to drink good wine. There are many in the world, and there are no conditions that can restrict it.
This is a close friend.
