Ziwen looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Sir, you have lost weight." General Dao Yan walked out and said, "Sir, I am not thinking about food and drink for you. I am worried that you will be in danger. Can you not lose weight?" These disciples all knelt down and said : "Sir, I have realized my mistake." Xiao Yi helped them up and said, "I am relieved that you are all right. You all should get up." Then he introduced General Dao Yan to them and said, "General Dao Yan, come and pay homage to me." General Dao Yan." The disciples came forward and kowtowed, saying, "General Dao Yan." General Dao Yan stood in front of them and said, "That's polite." Ziwen pulled Xiao Yi's sleeve and said: "Sir, we rescued a wounded soldier, come and take a look." Xiao Yi followed Ziwen and walked behind the disciples, leaned over and took a look, and said: "It looks like its injury is not serious, hurry up and carry it to me." In the bedroom." General Dao Yan walked up and said in surprise: "This is a cockroach soldier. These cockroach soldiers don't have any emotions. Do you want to save such a beast?" Shang Fu stepped forward and said: "Sir, I have heard that this insect will even eat its own dead parents or brothers, which is unfaithful and unfilial." Little Ant didn't think so, and said: "All flesh and blood have feelings, maybe these barbarians Don’t be educated, the customs are different.”
Xiao Yi ordered his disciples to carry the cockroach soldier into his bedroom, help him lie on the bed, bandage his wounds, take out the silver needle and pass it through his acupoints, and then he woke up. General Dao Yan stepped forward and said: "It turns out that sir is also proficient in medical skills." Xiao Yi smiled and said: "These are just some insect-saving techniques in the world, and they are not enough." When the cockroach soldier woke up for the first time, the first thing he saw was Seeing Xiao Yi and General Dao Yan, he grabbed the dagger beside him with one hand and suddenly sat up and pulled out the dagger. General Dao Yan pushed Xiao Yi behind him, half-pulled out the long sword from his waist, and looked at him. Xiao Yi stood behind General Dao Yan, patted General Dao Yan's shoulder, and said, "General Dao Yan, please step back first." General Dao Yan turned around and said, "Sir, it has hidden weapons and is trying to kill you. The move." Xiao Yi said: "It was an unintentional mistake. It just felt that danger was approaching and was defending itself. You should retreat first." General Dao Yan then retreated, not daring to slack off at all. Xiao Yi walked up and said, "Your injuries are very serious. We have no ill intentions towards you." He approached carefully, stretched out his hand, and gently grabbed the hand holding the dagger. It still held the dagger tightly, showing a trace of kindness in its eyes. Xiao Yi comforted him softly and said: "The murder weapon is not good for you, so just give it to me." Xiao Yi looked at it and nodded with a smile, and then it slowly loosened its grip on the hand. Give the dagger to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi took the dagger from its hand, put the sharp dagger into the sheath, and placed it under its pillow. Then he said: "You just need to take good care of your injuries. When your injuries get better, I will take care of them." You returned it to its homeland." The little ant patted its hand gently, and then it lay down to rest. Afterwards, Xiao Yi stood up and walked out with General Dao Yan. When the little ant walked out, it opened its eyes again, grabbed the dagger placed under the pillow, pulled out the dagger with a ferocious expression, and watched the little ant walk out of the room.
Xiao Yi sits in the main hall and hangs a portrait of Confucius. Facing the portrait of Confucius, he bowed and saluted. His disciples entered the hall, looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Sir." Xiao Yi turned around and said, "Come quickly and worship Confucius." The disciples all walked up and bowed to the portrait of Confucius. Xiao Yi sat in front of several tables. The disciples faced Xiao Yi again, bowed and said, "Sir." Xiao Yi stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "Please sit down." These disciples sat in front of Xiao Yi. Zi Zheng looked at Little Yi, but couldn't control his mouth, and said, "Sir, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?" Little Yi faced the disciples and laughed, saying, "Zizheng has become more humble today. ." All the disciples just laughed. The little ant said: "Zizheng is extremely filial to his family, strong and brave, and has a cheerful personality. He is willing to accept corrections from others and correct them in a timely manner. He respects his teachers and is the only one who dares to speak out and tell me about my faults." Others The disciple looked at Zizheng and expressed his approval. Xiao Yi looked at Zizheng and said: "Zizheng, this is your progress. If you have anything to say, just say it." Zizheng said: "Sir, we went down the mountain to look for Mr.'s whereabouts and met an old farmer. We asked him if he had met him. Mr. Guo, the old farmer said to me, your head is like Yao; your face is like Shun; your shoulders are like Zichan; your legs are like Yu, and you are as miserable as a bereaved dog." After hearing this, the little ant was very happy and said: " The description of this bereaved dog is very accurate, very accurate." Ziwen sat aside and said: "Zizheng, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds, you are very disrespectful to your husband." Zizheng looked at Xiaoyi with some confusion, Said: "Sir, did I say something wrong?" Xiao Yi immediately said: "You are not wrong, what you said is very good. Among my disciples, you are the only one who dares to tell the truth. You are upright and brave." Just then he said with a smile: "Sir, you are a master, but you pay too much attention to the restraints of etiquette." The little ant said: "Since the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, etiquette has collapsed. If there were no restraints of etiquette, the world would be in ruins If there is great chaos, the following will offend the superiors. If the people are polite to the ministers, if the ministers are polite to the king, and the king abides by the royal way, the world will be able to do well. Rites are called benevolence, and everyone follows suit, the country will be in great order. Like the Master, I advocate the restoration of Zhou Rites. This is This is what I have been adhering to all my life." Zi Zheng said, "I already know this. Thank you, Mr. Sir, for teaching me how to be polite." He stood up and bowed to salute, and Xiao Yi stood up and returned the salute.
A large number of hungry people poured in outside the city. Some starved to death on the streets, and some were begging along the streets. They were sallow and skinny. They even walked slowly while holding on to the wall, looking weak.
Xiao Yi entered the general's mansion and sat aside, just to listen. Some local officials and the Jinyang Order entered the general's mansion together with all the generals. General Dao Yan looked at these local officials and said: "There are a large number of victims in the city. I wonder if you generals can help the victims in the city." Then he looked at Jinyang Ling, who said: "General, like this The situation should be reported to the king and asked to send honest and honest officials to govern Jinyang." General Dao Yan looked at Xiao Yi and asked: "Sir, do you think this method is appropriate or inappropriate?" Xiao Yi said: "Appropriate! Years of drought and war have left the land barren and insect-free for farming. The top priority is to open warehouses and release grain to help the refugees in the city." General Dao Yan looked at Jinyang and ordered: "Okay, let's do it according to Sir's method."
Porridge sheds were set up in the city to first solve the people's food and clothing problems, and then distribute food and resettle the victims in the city. Zizheng, Ziwen and other disciples and Xiao Yi were reclaiming wasteland outside the city. The little ant looked up at the sky and saw clouds in the sky and a slight wind blowing. Then he walked into the general's mansion and said, "Please build an altar, general. I want to pray to the sky for rain." General Dao Yan said, "Sir, I also believe in ghosts and gods." Little Ant said, "No, this is to respect heaven and earth. "
The next day, the altar was set up in the city. The little ant slowly climbed onto the altar, stood on it, wrote a prayer for rain, looked up to the sky and read:
"The majestic and majestic atmosphere in the west of the Wei Dynasty is combined into this mountain. But the majestic and moist atmosphere of the mountain is gathered together to form Qiutan. Bottles, poppies, pots and spoons can rain all over the world, but how can it be worse in one place? It is because of winter. In spring, the rain and snow will not come, and the people of the West rely on wheat and grass for survival. If there is no rain today, it will be a bad year. The people will not be able to feed themselves, and thieves will appear. How can it be that the ministers who guard the land are worried about it? It is not a place for gods to sit and look at with familiarity. The Holy Emperor is above, and all the gentle gifts are not unprepared, and down to the stupid people and the common people, how can they run around and be afraid of things! Everyone thinks that today, God's You should also learn from this, so as to live up to the wishes of the Holy Emperor, and to live up to the expectations of the foolish people and common people."
After reading it, throw it into the fire. After burning, the ashes will fly. Sit quietly with your eyes closed and pray sincerely. After a long time, I felt a breeze blowing on my face. I looked up at the sky with a happy face. I stood up, raised my hands to the sky, and walked down slowly. General Dao Yan stepped forward and asked: "Sir, have you asked the sky?" The little ant said: "I have asked." Dao Yan continued to ask: "I wonder when it will rain?" The little ant looked up at the sky, and there were clouds in the sky. Ru Mian gathered together and pressed down, saying: "Probably after midnight." Then he faced Dao Yan and his Jinyang order and said: "General, let's go inspect the public sentiment."
There is a wizard outside the city. Legend has it that it is different and has palms like humans. It tells the local people that I am a god sent from heaven and earth to protect the people of this place. The people in the city and the people outside the city all believed in it and respected it as a god. This wizard seized on the weakness of the people of Zhao State in respecting heaven, earth, and ghosts and gods. Build an altar in the city.
The wizard stood on the altar, looked up at the sky, and suddenly trembled, as if he was possessed by a ghost. He muttered a few words, then opened his eyes and said mysteriously: "God has sent a decree, and a demon has appeared in the city. I Watching the sky at night, there is a demon star crossing the sky and landing among the insects." Then he looked at the sky and recited some rhymes, and called out: "Please God open my eyes." Then he pointed to a little girl and shouted: "It is the demon star. Inverse." The people who were watching all looked at the little girl. The little girl was a little scared and threw herself into the arms of her parents. She looked at these cold and numb eyes. She looked a little cute, but she was really cute. The wizard pointed at it and said: "It's it, it's it. It offended the gods, so the gods will bring disasters to you people. Catch it up for me. Catch it up. I want to sacrifice it to heaven." These onlookers were watching. The people rushed forward and snatched the little girl from the hands of her parents. Its mother knelt down and begged: "She is my daughter! Please!" She then looked at her husband, looking particularly helpless. The girl's father stood aside coldly and said: "The gods have already said that what we gave birth to is a demon, a demon." There was even a sense of disgust, and the mother looked up to the sky and cried: "Oh my God!"
A voice came from among the people watching, saying: "Wait a minute." Xiao Yi walked out from the people watching, stood under the altar, looked at the little girl, and said: "High Priest, you want to How to deal with this girl?" The wizard said: "It is a demon, burn it to death, burn it to death, die! Die!" The little ant walked up to the wizard and said: "God has the virtue of good life, how can he allow you to kill? ." The wizard said angrily: "It is an accomplice of the evil spirit, pull it down and beat it to death, beat it to death, die! Die!" The onlookers were about to rush forward, when Zi Zheng and his disciples rushed out, Zi Zheng pulled out his long sword. The sword forced the people back and shouted: "I wonder who of you dares?" Xiao Yi looked at Zizheng in the audience and said: "Don't be rude to the people." Zizheng turned around and said: "Sir." Xiao Yi said: "Put it away Your sword." The sword was sheathed. Xiao Yi took the little girl from the wizard's hand, leaned over and said: "Girl, go back to your parents as soon as possible." The little girl still looked at Xiao Yi in a cute manner, and Xiao Yi just stroked her gently. He raised his head and said: "Go." Just as the wizard was about to step forward, Xiao Yi turned around and pulled out the sword of benevolence and righteousness and pointed it directly at the wizard's throat. The wizard was afraid and moved back gradually, saying: "What are you going to do?" The little ant said angrily: "I want to kill you right now." The wizard quickly said: "I am the god next to the Emperor of Heaven. If you kill me, , Aren't you afraid that the Emperor of Heaven will punish you?" The wizard looked straight at the approaching sword of Xiao Yi, and seemed to feel a little guilty. The little ant said: "You kill innocent people indiscriminately, aren't you afraid that the Emperor of Heaven will punish you? What kind of god are you? If you don't benefit the people of one place, you will bring harm to others. I am doing justice for Heaven. Even if the Emperor of Heaven comes down to earth, he can't save you. You die." The wizard shouted in horror: "Come up quickly, catch it, catch it." When the people were about to rush to the altar, General Dao Yan led his troops to rush in and stop the people. General Dao Yan stepped forward and said, "Sir." He saw the long sword in Xiao Yi's hand being sheathed and said, "Drag it down and chop it." General Dao Yan turned to face the rows of soldiers standing and said, "Insects are coming. ." Soldiers rushed forward and stood on both sides. The wizard looked at the soldiers standing on both sides in great horror, then looked at General Dao Yan, and shouted: "Big insect, you can't kill me, you can't kill me. I am a god sent by the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven will punish you. ." General Dao Yan began to hesitate and said: "Sir." Xiao Yi walked out to face the wizard and said resolutely: "I have said before that even the Emperor of Heaven cannot save you. Drag it down and kill it!" Soldier He stepped forward, dragged the wizard off the altar, and knelt before the onlookers. The wizard looked back and shouted: "Big insect, spare your life! I am a god!" General Dao Yan looked at the little ant and said: "Sir, this is a matter for the gods, we must not offend it." The little ant said: "Even if It's a crime sent down by God, and I, a little ant, will bear the responsibility."
