After Zi You and Jing Sala entered the room, Jing Sala put the child on the bed, then stood in front of the window and looked outside, observing the surrounding environment and looking for the best escape route.
"The location here is good. It's not far from Jixia Academy. It can be attacked or retreated." Jing Salamander said.
As a top-level killer, Jing Salaman is well aware of the power of the snare. If the other party discovers her whereabouts, the other party may worry about Jixia Academy but will never let her escape again. For killers, assassination is not the only way. In this way, poisoning is also an effective method.
"Now can you tell me about my uncle?" Ziyou said in the spirit of putting on a show.
Hearing Zi You mention Wu Ming again, Jing Salamander looked at the child sleeping on the bed, and his thoughts returned to the castle surrounded by natural dangers.
..................................................
The main hall of Jixia Academy, which was originally in a stalemate, welcomed an uninvited guest.
"The king has arrived!" A thin voice sounded outside the hall.
Everyone in the hall stood up and faced the door of the hall. Two soldiers in armor pushed open the door of the hall, and a man wearing purple gorgeous clothes and a jade-like face entered the hall under the guard of a group of people.
"Meet King Qi!" Everyone in the hall bowed and said.
"Excuse me, everyone. I wonder if my coming here at this moment has delayed everyone?" Qi Wang Tian Jian said with a smile.
Although the King of Qi is the King of Qi in name, the power of the Qi State is in the hands of the Queen. Perhaps because the Queen is too strong, the King of Qi does not have a strong sense of majesty, but has a feeling of intimacy.
"King Qi was joking. Just as we were about to discuss this debate again, King Qi arrived!" Fu Nian said first.
Everyone in this Jixia debate is well aware that Confucianism and famous scholars are the protagonists, and they are also the people with the greatest say in this Jixia debate.
"Compared to this, this is Mr. Fu Nian from Xiaoshengxian Manor. He is really extraordinary. I wonder why Master Xun didn't come?" King Qi said with a slightly regretful expression. You must know that it was Master Xun who offered wine in Jixia before, but because of this Because of the dispute over sex, Master Xun resigned from the post of offering wine.
"There is something going on at Little Saint Xian Village that has delayed my uncle, but my uncle said that he will definitely be present at this Jixia debate." Fu Nian's voice was not loud, but it was particularly powerful.
This sentence is not only an answer to King Qi, but also to people from hundreds of families. The reason why famous families, farmers, and Mohists dared to attack Confucianism when they first arrived, isn't it because they see Fu Nian being young? If Xunzi comes, they must not bow to Xunzi before talking. After all, Xunzi is the only person alive and still called son. Of course, if you want to provoke Xunzi, that’s fine, provided you can learn from this great master. Survive by hand.
No one in Confucianism who can be called a disciple has a good temper.
"You can discuss it first and just listen by yourself."
"Don't dare!" everyone said in awe.
"Everyone, please excuse me."
Then King Qi sat on the main seat, and the representatives of the hundreds of schools below no longer argued tit for tat, but discussed the form of the debate among the hundreds of schools. Because there were examples of the previous three debates, the discussion was quickly completed. The most important thing to discuss is the official start time, after all, some people haven't arrived yet.
At this time, Xunzi, who was supposed to leave for Jixia to preside over the debate at Jixia Academy, was looking at the young man in front of him with complicated eyes. The young man lowered his head and shed two tears on his face.
"Does your teacher only leave these words?" Xunzi said with a sigh.
"Yes, this is what the teacher left. Let me give it to you." The young man took out a sword hilt from his clothes.
The hilt of the sword was made of jasper, with two swords at the front and back. Xunzi took the hilt from the young man's hand and crossed it across the hilt. Under the sunlight, the sharp blade was faintly visible.
"It is invisible to sight, and does not know what it touches. It is boundless. It passes by things without being aware of them. The edge is hidden but not exposed, and the light is contained." Xunzi said, "It is like sitting and forgetting the mind. This is your teacher's Wear your sword and protect it well.”
Then Xunzi put Hanguang into the young man's hand.
"Your teacher's name is Yan Fu, and he is the fifth-generation grandson of Fu Sheng Yan Hui. Remember this name and let your teacher know that there are still people in this world who know his existence." Xunzi said.
"Yes, Master, I remember it," the young man said.
"Your name is Lu. It is inconvenient to use your last name. Your teacher made an agreement with your family before leaving. If he cannot come back, he will let you be named Yan so that you can hide it. Are you willing?" Xunzi asked.
Hearing Xunzi's words, Lu's eyes showed determination and he asked, "Can I sacrifice for the teacher?"
Xunzi looked at the road with some surprise and sighed in his heart. His junior brother had accepted a good disciple. When he thought about the disciple he had accepted, he should throw away the real thing and compare it with others. If he died, Ziyou would immediately What I should be thinking about is plundering all the exotic flowers and plants that I have grown.
"Your teacher practices the method of sitting and forgetting the mind. You should also understand his goal. He left a message during his lifetime. If he is not remembered by the world, he will not be worthy of the three animal sacrifices in death." Xunzi said helplessly. His junior brother has a stronger nature. , but chose the method of sitting and forgetting that is contrary to his character.
"I understand." The light in Yan Lu's eyes dimmed.
"From today on, you are my Confucian disciple. After Jixia's debate is over, I will conduct the apprenticeship ceremony for you. He entrusted you to his brother, Yan Peng, remember?" Xunzi said.
"Yes, Master." Yan Lu said with a bow.
"Just call me uncle from today on," Xunzi said. Yan Fu was his junior brother, but Yan Peng was his senior brother. Yan Lu has now switched to Yan Peng's sect, so Yan Lu should call him his uncle.
"Get ready. Tomorrow I will take you to Jixia to participate in this debate, and at the same time tell the world your identity." Xunzi said.
Yan Lu's identity must be confirmed as a Confucian disciple. If his original identity is discovered by someone with intentions, even Confucianism may not be able to protect Yan Lu.
"Yes, uncle." Yan Lu said.
.....................................
Jing Salamander looked at Zi You, and Zi You looked at Jing Salamander. They stared at each other with big eyes. Zi You touched his face and said
"Why have you been looking at me?"
"I'm going to feed the baby."
Jing Salamander said in a deep voice with a cold face. After saying this, she still felt a little shy. After this feeling came out, Jing Salamander was a little absent-minded. After breaking away from the snare, she found that she became more and more like a person, not a human being. A sword, things that were once hidden for survival are constantly emerging.
There was a trace of embarrassment on Ziyou's face, and he stood up and left the room without stopping. After leaving the room, Ziyou touched his chin, thinking about what to do. He couldn't go back at this time, and looked at With the clothes on his body, Ziyou thought about what he should do. Since he came to Linzi, he would definitely go to Jixia to intervene in the debate, if not for any other reason than to vent his anger on his teacher.
As the main hall of Jixia Academy opened, a news instantly spread throughout Linzi.
The debate in Jixia will officially begin in three days. At that time, a hundred schools of thought will contend. Anyone who is interested can watch it, and knowledgeable people can also take the stage to participate in the debate.
As soon as this news came out, the whole Linzi was in a state of excitement. At the same time, several carrier pigeons flew over Linzi, and envoys from various families and countries sent the news out one after another.
