After Ziyou adjusted his internal strength, noise and fire came from not far away. The loud noise just now shocked half of Songhai City. Various forces and officials in Songhai followed the sound, and Nongyu came to Ziyou. .
"Sir, how are you?" Nongyu asked.
"No problem, let's go first."
Nongyu nodded, performed Qinggong and left here. Ziyou grabbed Wu Ye and performed Qinggong and left. When the people who followed the sound arrived, there was nothing else but the rough sea. Everyone looked at me. Look at you, they all left here again after being driven away by the government.
After watching everyone leave, Ziyou, Nongyu and Wu who were hiding in the dark breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nongyu, how did you know I'm here?" Ziyou looked at Nongyu and asked.
"When I was just getting ready to go to bed, I heard the sound of the door opening. I thought some bad guys were coming, but I didn't expect that my husband was going out. I watched my husband leave with Wu. I waited until my husband was gone, and then I used the I learned the tracking skills in Quicksand and analyzed the whereabouts of my husband, so I followed him." Nong Yu said in a low voice.
Ziyou's cultivation level was higher than hers. If she followed Nongyu rashly, she felt that she would definitely be discovered, so she waited until Ziyou was far away and used the tracking skills Zinu taught her to follow Ziyou. When she arrived, Later, I saw Ziyou fighting against Sound Wave, but it was obvious that Ziyou was at a disadvantage, so Nongyu played his latest song, which attracted thousands of fish to compete, interrupting the Sound Wave in the waves. He used music to neutralize the noise, and then let Ziyou suppress the noise.
"If it weren't for you, I'd probably be seriously injured today even if I didn't die. Thank you very much," Ziyou said.
"Sir, you don't have to be polite. This is what I should do." Nong Yu said, looking at the sea with fearful eyes and saying, "Sir, what kind of creature made that noise? It's so terrifying."
"I don't know, it's a bit similar to the legendary Jian." Ziyou said.
"Ancient ferocious beast? Does this kind of ferocious beast really exist in the world?" Nong Yu said.
Jian is an ancient ferocious beast, commonly known as roaring toward the sky, roaring toward the sky, and kicking the dragon. Confucian classics record: There is a beast named Jian in the East China Sea. It is shaped like a rabbit, with long pointed ears, only more than a foot long.
There are good and bad records about Jian. Some people say that it is an ancient ferocious beast, that it is the nemesis of the dragon clan and that it eats borneol brains. Others say that it is the son of the Dragon King and has the habit of keeping watch. The dragon on the top of the Huabiao column roars toward the sky, which is regarded as conveying the will of heaven and conveying the sentiments of the people.
There are many legends about the Jian, but no one has actually seen the Jian. Most of the Confucian classics only have a few words about it. No one said what its cry was like, but the cry just now was indeed as recorded. The weak People will be shocked to death on the spot, not only the weak, but probably everyone will be shocked to death.
"Although no one has seen the Jian now, this kind of ferocious beast exists. You may not believe it. The mythical beasts and ferocious beasts recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" all once lived in the world, but for some reasons. As a result, these creatures will no longer appear in the world, and even if they appear, they will just disappear like a flash in the pan." Ziyou said.
Confucian records clearly state that the creatures in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" really existed, but they are no longer alive due to various problems. As for the reason, there is no clear record in Confucian classics. After all, various creatures in the Shang Dynasty Rare and rare beasts still existed. At that time, people were like dragons and raised various mythical beasts and ferocious beasts as mounts and livestock. However, after King Wu conquered Zhou, all kinds of mythical beasts and ferocious beasts gradually disappeared, and in the end there were no traces left. What to do.
Many Confucian sages speculated that the reason for this was that after the end of the Zhou-Shang War, the heaven and earth changed drastically again, resulting in these ferocious beasts and mythical beasts completely disappearing, just like the separation of humans and gods after the Black Emperor Zhuanxu destroyed the world. , the top mythical beasts and ferocious beasts disappeared one after another, but what caused the great change in the world is still a mystery. It was originally recorded in the Zhou royal family, but after the Zhou royal family moved eastward, a large number of historical secrets were either burned to the ground or lost. This has become a permanent secret.
Ziyou guessed that the Taoists might know something. Firstly, because Laozi was initially responsible for the history of the Zhou royal family and was responsible for the history books of the entire Zhou royal family and the collection of various classics. Secondly, Confucian classics record that Confucius went to pay homage to Laozi. There are questions in this regard, but no one knows whether Laozi answered Confucius, and Confucius didn't leave anything behind. Maybe he left something behind, but future generations don't know.
Nongyu was a little surprised. She used the "Book of Mountains and Seas" or various books that recorded rare and exotic animals as reading material for entertainment, but Ziyou suddenly told her that these had all existed before, and she used them to scare Ji. Various ferocious beasts like Yan also existed, which she couldn't accept for a while.
"Aren't you kidding, sir?" Nong Yu said.
"There are still descendants of the Nine Heavens Xuannv in the Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions. They are responsible for guarding the weapons left by Chi You." Ziyou said, the Chi You Sword and the Demon God of War, two peerless weapons, are still lying in the desert. If it weren't for opening it at the wrong time, Ziyou would have thought about getting it. With these two artifacts in hand, he could really fight against thousands of troops with the power of one person.
Nong Yu looked at Zi You and knew it was not a joke, but she still couldn't accept this kind of thing. Wu who was standing beside him had long been stunned. He couldn't keep up when Zi You said Dao Jian. He seemed to be in front of Yan Lu. My uncle saw this name in some classic book in his class, but he was caught before he could read it and the book was confiscated.
"Don't come here again for the time being, Wu, don't bring Yan'er here again. If she wants to come, she can't agree." Ziyou said sternly. There is something hidden under the water. The stone tablet is more like a suppression device. The instrument suppresses the unborn things below. If it is really the ancient ferocious beast Jian, even the combined force of the Qinglong and the Demon God of War hidden by the Mo family may not be able to suppress Jian again.
Seeing Ziyou's stern expression, Wu nodded quickly.
"Don't tell anyone what happened tonight." Ziyou said.
"Yes, teacher." Wu nodded and said.
Ziyou glanced at the rough sea again, with a heavy expression on his face. He withdrew his eyes and left with Nongyu and Wu. After Ziyou left, a figure appeared on the edge of the cliff. Looking at the rough sea, he put the box in his hand. Open it, and there is half a stone lock inside.
Plop~
The stone lock was thrown into the sea, and the rough sea suddenly became silent.
After they returned to Xinyuan, they found that everyone was awake. They saw Ziyou asking various questions after he came back. In order not to worry everyone, Ziyou did not tell the truth. He just said that he heard something strange and went out to take a look, but no one said anything. After asking for more questions, he went back to his room to sleep, but after such a fuss, the whole Songhai fell into insomnia for a while.
The next day, various rumors about last night appeared one after another. They all speculated that the Dragon King in the sea was angry, so he made such a noise to warn the world. For a while, the people went to the seaside to worship the Dragon King and pray for the Dragon King to appease his anger. However, This time no one dared to make money from the loud noise incident. The grass on the grave of the last person who did this was just growing, and they didn't want to be in the company of those people.
No one is using this sacrificial matter to amass money wantonly, and no one in the Qi State Court takes it seriously. Moreover, there is Xiaoshengxian Manor here, so there will be no trouble. Although Xiaoshengxian Manor intends to prevent people from offering sacrifices, However, people will inevitably place their fear of the unknown on some gods. This is human nature and normal. Songhai itself has the custom of offering sacrifices to the Dragon King, so this cannot be said to be an evil sacrifice.
However, Xiaoshengxian Village still sent disciples to persuade and explain the matter, so that the people should not just regard sacrifice as the whole life. Relying on the prestige of Xiaoshengxian Village, fewer and fewer people were worshiping.
Xunzi stood on the top of the back mountain and looked at the sea in the west where there was no more black smoke, and said to Ziyou
"What do you think about this matter?"
"For the fear of the unknown, the people need to release this emotion, and the equally unknown and powerful gods have become the best choice. As long as there are no obscene sacrifices and evil sacrifices and someone deliberately makes money, it is feasible, but now the immortals Sacrifice to gods is messy, and customs vary from place to place. It’s okay to have a small sage village in Songhai. In other places, it’s okay if the local sect or government governs it. However, in some places, obscene worship and evil sacrifices are common. The powerful use this method to collect people’s money, which is a sin. It should be punished," Ziyou said.
Zi lobbied for no other place than Chu. It is obvious to all that there were many obscene sacrifices in the land of Wu and Chu. These days, Confucian disciples who came to Chu knew a lot about this matter. They tried to explain these truths, but the result was that The people, the government and the priests rejected each other, but they were the ones who were expelled.
"Then what do you think about Chu Di?" Xunzi asked.
"Fight fire with poison, choose beliefs and sacrifices that are beneficial to the people, and use them to attack the sacrifices of other lonely ghosts and wild gods. Now the dignitaries in the Chu Kingdom are eager for the people to sacrifice and donate their money." Ziyou said.
The current situation in Chu State is only suitable for magic to defeat magic. If we have the support of the court, we can directly forcibly ban the lonely gods and wild ghosts and retain the righteous gods recognized by the court. Although there will be some unrest in a short period of time, after the great changes , it will be a new Chu State, where the people are prosperous and the country is strong, but in reality there is no such thing. Except for some officials, everyone in the Chu State has acquiesced to this matter. There are too many interests involved, and there is no such thing. People dare to touch this thing.
Xunzi nodded and looked at the seaside without saying anything. Ziyou looked at Xunzi and asked in a low voice.
"Teacher, what are the things in the sea?"
As a great master, Xunzi had been in charge of Little Sage Manor for decades. If he said that he didn't notice anything strange in the sea, Zi You wouldn't believe it. Moreover, Little Sage Manor was so close to that side, so what happened last night must have been concealed. Xunzi couldn't help but Xunzi didn't say anything, which made Ziyou helpless and could only take the initiative to ask.
"Now is not the time for you to know." Xunzi continued to look at the seaside without looking back.
"Why do you old men like to say this kind of thing? When I visited Taiyi Mountain, I asked about Yu Yuan. Uncle Bei Mingzi also said the same thing. Is that thing related to Yu Yuan? Ziyou asked.
"How did Bei Mingzi tell you about Yu Yuan?" Xunzi asked.
"I explained to me the origin of Yu Yuan and his original power of heaven and earth, and how Donghuang Taiyi was greedy for Yu Yuan's power, and wanted to use it to break through the Grand Master and enter a realm above the Grand Master, but in the end he was defeated by Yu Yuan. Home is disappearing," Ziyou said.
"It's enough for him to tell you this. Don't think about the rest. You have to remember that unless you enter the Grand Master, don't go to that sea area again. It's not a place you can touch now. "Xunzi Fu Xu said.
"Then you have to tell me why you can't touch it, right? That sea area often appears in Yan'er's dreams and attracts Yan'er there." Ziyou spread his hands and said.
Hearing that Ji Yan was attracted by the sea there, Xunzi turned his back and looked at Ziyou seriously and asked
"really?"
"It's true. That sea area is hidden. How do you think my three idiot apprentices took Yan'er there?" Ziyou said.
"That's it." Xunzi muttered in a low voice, as if he thought of something.
