Shang was rescued.
And was exempted from the penalty of murder.
But how to deal with what happened to him?
The Xia Dynasty is indeed very prosperous now, but no matter how prosperous the country is, it doesn't mean that there are no shameful things in the darkness.
The upward trend of the general trend does not mean that personal misfortunes can be avoided.
Unfortunately, he is the unlucky guy.
After being rescued, Shang went through all kinds of hardships and returned to the home he remembered.
But there is no one in the house anymore, only the lonely and dusty yard is left.
In order to find him, his parents had sold their property and traveled around, hoping to find him.
So the rescued merchant joined a caravan to make money and also searched for his biological parents.
He had indeed found his parents' whereabouts, as long as he kept following their parents' footsteps.
But his parents are already dead, because they really found the original Ren Yazi. Such a person would dare to kill people.
Even if the person's teeth have been removed later due to the murder case, what will happen to the dead person?
Shang Ju looked at a loss.
He doesn't even have his own home.
After much thought, Shang originally wanted to join the Mohist family.
As a result, after asking around, I found out that the real Mohist giant had left with a large number of Mohists, and now is the era of Confucianism.
Confucianism?
What it is?
Compared to Mohism, which his parents often told him as a bedtime story when he was young, he really knew nothing about Confucianism.
Fortunately, he is very diligent and smart.
He used the money he earned to satisfy his hunger, and then bought books.
There would often be Confucian scholars giving lectures, and he would come over to them. If he was lucky, he would get some charity porridge.
The Xia Dynasty was rich, and as long as they were willing to work, they would never starve to death no matter what.
Because of his extensive contact with the lower class, Shang has his own logic, and he has a particularly deep understanding of the people at the bottom.
So after hearing the news that Xun Ke was going to preach, he sold everything and embarked on the road to the imperial capital, only to be questioned in the Tianxia Academy.
"No wonder this kid is so extreme."
After hearing about Shang's life experience and experience, Gu Dan was thoughtful.
What he experienced when he was young gave Shang the deepest understanding of human evil, and he himself was the biggest victim.
And the experience in the mountain village made him suffer a lot. When he calmed down and thought about it all, he naturally became no longer interested in messy things like benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette.
Mohism is no longer what it used to be, and Confucianism is not to his liking, so he will come up with a new concept.
He extremely agreed with Xun Ke's "evil nature of human nature", but he also scorned the issue of education.
Because for a long time, he has become a commodity, so where does he count as a "person"?
In that small mountain village, if there had not been a sudden visit from the Mohist, where would benevolence, righteousness, and propriety be found?
Under the circumstances at that time, how could an eleven-year-old kid save his own destiny?
There is no way.
No matter how smart he is, he is destined to never be free.
He applied his most desperate experience to the entire world, and finally determined it, turning it into four words: fight for strength.
It doesn't matter whether the weak are pitiful or miserable, only the strong can win.
Although he himself was rescued by Mo Zhe, to the people in that small mountain village, wasn't that Mo Zhe a strong person?
When strong and weak fight against each other, the strong will naturally win. What happens next depends entirely on the thought of the strong.
Therefore, he came up with his own ideas and questioned Xun Ke in the world academy.
In his opinion, benevolence, justice, and etiquette are nothing more than a fig leaf. Those unruly people are completely unworthy and completely incomprehensible, so they should be severely punished.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. You’ll understand after you’ve experienced the pain. If you still don’t understand, just look for another chance in your next life.
"I heard: If oranges grow in Huainan, they become tangerines; if oranges grow in Huaibei, they become tangerines."
Under the night, Gu Dan leaned on the willow tree behind him and said slowly: "Shang is well aware of the bitterness of oranges, so he doesn't believe in the sourness and sweetness of oranges."
"This is extremely true."
Xun Ke also nodded.
Shang is naturally talented, but his talent is a bit too extreme.
The misfortunes that happen to individuals are irreparable, but if the misfortunes of individuals are exposed to the world, then how can they not be the misfortunes of the world?
Back when Xun Ke's parents who lived in Yuzhou were killed by red-eyed warriors under the stars in the sky at night, he didn't hate warriors all over the world because of this!
He was also saved by Mo Zhe, and his parents were also killed. Xun Ke still had a benevolent heart and great love, but Shang had become cold and no longer trusted everyone.
The law is just a tool, but he wants to put the tool firmly on everyone's head, and everything will operate according to the tool.
This is the reason why he is so extreme.
"Then I'll leave the trouble to you."
Gu Dan picked up the tea cup, blew on it gently, and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Dan naturally recognized Xun Ke's abilities.
Under his hands, it is enough to reshape Shang, and the future may not be glorious.
Although today's Shang has experienced many things, he is like a sword that has just been unsheathed. Its sharpness has not been tempered at all, and it still needs to be polished and baptized.
But Gu Dan paid little attention to the affairs of the Xia Dynasty.
The Xia Dynasty is still getting stronger. In the visible future, Xun Ke will also serve as the new guardian of the Xia Dynasty and lead the Xia Dynasty to continue to be strong.
He has fulfilled his original promise.
Now, only a few people around him are left as companions.
There are not many days left.
As night fell, the courtyard gradually became quiet.
Gu Dan didn't pick up the book to read anymore, because he had read all the books on spiritual practice in the Xia Dynasty.
The white lotus visualization diagram is still being practiced every day, but there has been no movement on the fifth lotus petal.
Even his physical body seems to have reached a bottleneck after years of baptism. Gu Dan has not felt that he has made any progress in recent years.
He seemed to have truly reached the pinnacle of the world. Whether it was his physical body, his true energy, or even his soul, they had all reached the limit of the mortal world. The road to martial arts seemed to have ended here, and he could no longer move forward.
The night is deep, but my spirit is still high, and I can't sleep.
After thinking about it, Gu Dan exhaled from the panel.
【Shouyuan: 106/299 (+237586)】
[Aoki Transformation Technique: 50067/1000000 (+237586) so-so-huhu]
The familiar panel was displayed in front of him. Apart from the changes in the numbers themselves, there were no changes.
It is worth mentioning that his lifespan is already over a hundred years old. According to the calculation of this era, he can be regarded as an auspicious person.
However, due to the upper limit of his lifespan, he has only just reached one-third of his life span. Even if he continues his normal life and reduces his age proportionally, he can still be called "young".
What needs special attention is that his life span has been stuck for thirty-seven years.
When he was first promoted to Grandmaster, his lifespan was only ninety-five years old, which was far from the limit of one hundred and twenty years old for a Grandmaster. However, with the steady improvement of his strength, the upper limit of his lifespan was also rising.
It can be seen that Shouyuan does not reach the limit at the moment of breakthrough, but slowly increases with the influence of strength until it reaches that limit.
Although the upper limit of life span is actually just a number to Gu Dan, this number is enough to roughly evaluate his own strength.
But now, this hand seems to have failed.
The upper limit of his lifespan is firmly stuck at the number 299. He cannot make any progress and reach the limit before his strength.
Even though the White Lotus visualization chart has made breakthroughs in the past thirty-seven years, the soul has gained strength, and the physical body has achieved success, the upper limit of lifespan has not changed at all.
Everything probably has its limits.
Gu Dan speculated that he should have reached the limit of the Grand Master now, an insurmountable limit.
As for the longevity of the next breakthrough in the Qingmu Transformation Technique, one glance at the number will tell you that it is simply unrealistic to rely solely on yourself to treat illnesses and save people.
It must be a real act of hanging the pot to help the world, and it is possible to bring him great progress in one breath.
The problem is, according to Qing Pingzi, the immortal will return sooner or later.
It has been so long since the Immortal Stone was thrown down. Why is there still no news about the real Immortal except for a mountain range?
Gu Dan couldn't figure it out clearly.
If the porcelain does not collide with the tiles, he cannot take that risk.
As a person who has already reached the ultimate realm of immortality while still alive, Gu Dan does not need to be a gambler.
The slower you accumulate longevity, the slower you will be. Living is the most important thing.
And now, medical clinics in various places in the Xia Dynasty have achieved results, and they can bring him a lot of longevity every year. After all, as the leader in compiling the "Shen Nong Baicao Jing Yao" and directly initiating this matter, Gu Dan's contribution No doubt not small.
With this income, the accumulation of longevity cannot be said to be slow, it is just a matter of waiting a few more years.
What really makes Gu Dan feel uncomfortable is that his strength has reached a point where he has nowhere to go.
If you continue to stay at Grand Master, there will be no room for further growth.
But so far, Gu Dan still does not understand the innate realm of martial arts deeply enough, and he has not found a solution from any classics.
All attempts in the world ended in failure, and even several grandmasters died.
Even though he was as calm as Gu Dan, he now felt a hint of irritability.
He has been a Grand Master for sixty years and has nowhere to go. Why hasn't he felt the feeling of "water overflowing"?
He originally wanted to reach the limit of his current realm and let nature take its course to hit the innate realm. Now that he has reached his limit, he has no signs of breaking through to the innate realm.
This is completely different from what is recorded in the classics on cultivating immortals. According to the classics, when the realm of immortality reaches its limit, a special feeling will be produced in itself, urging you to advance quickly.
The methods of immortality are actually different from those of martial arts.
Now if you continue to stay in the Xia Dynasty, you can't even concentrate on cultivation, because there is no more cultivation.
As for how to successfully reach the next level, it would be too much to describe it as having no clue. It can only be said to be at a loss.
As the first great master in this world, the one with the highest and strongest level of martial arts, he couldn't even find anyone to refer to. He himself has become a monument for future generations. Only future generations can refer to his principles. There is no possibility for him to refer to others.
Now that things have come to this, Gu Dan already wants to leave.
That day is probably not far away for him.
In the sixty-first year of the Xia Dynasty, Cang returned to the imperial capital and was promoted.
He will take over Xun Ke's former position as Minister of Rites.
So Cang returned to the Gu family courtyard and implicitly expressed that she also wanted to move in.
Gu Dan was very happy and told him to get out quickly.
In desperation, Cang could only rent a few houses not far from the Gu family courtyard to accommodate his wives and concubines.
But it can't be said that his arrival was all a smear on Gu Dan's face. At least when Xiaoying felt bored taking care of the flowers and plants in the Gu family's courtyard, she could go to Cang to chat with his wives and concubines to relieve her boredom.
With so many wives and concubines around, there is no end to chatting, and you can always find a few people with similar temperaments, and you can barely manage some trivial personnel matters.
In the sixty-fourth year of the Xia Dynasty, Confucianism was already adjusting and dividing laws.
The leader in this matter was naturally Xun Ke.
The other person is Shang, who is rising to prominence in the world's academies.
Not only was he accepted as a disciple by Xun Ke, he was also appreciated by Emperor Taiping. It is said that Emperor Taiping once grabbed his hand and held a candlelight conversation in the palace at night.
But Gu Dan paid little attention to these matters, and he almost disappeared from everyone's sight.
The great master who once guarded the Xia Dynasty has been replaced by another one.
Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years.
He is over a hundred years old, and it is time for his era to pass and be passed on to the next generation.
It was an ordinary day in the sixty-fifth year of the Xia Dynasty.
Xun Ke took time out of his busy schedule to return to Gu's courtyard for dinner.
Cang's wives and concubines now prepare the meals. Every day at meal time, the one with the best skills among them will come over in advance to cook for several people.
Xiaoying now only has to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard. In addition, she also found time to compile two medical books.
The medical skills in it are not some exquisite and ingenious techniques, but the most common things such as how to deliver a baby and how to raise a child. There are even detailed pictures to facilitate future generations to learn and understand.
This kind of medical book is of course passed down from female to male.
Xiaoying asked Gu Dan to review it, and Gu Dan gave a high evaluation.
At this time, after a simple meal in the Gu family courtyard and a few casual chats, Xun Ke was about to leave.
But Gu Dan stretched out a hand and held him.
"Mr. Gu?"
Xun Ke was confused.
"Stay here and don't go anywhere."
Gu Dan stared into his eyes and spoke almost word for word.
"I"
Xunke wanted to say that he still had many things to be busy with, and he was rectifying the laws of the Xia Dynasty.
But Gu Dan's eyes were already on Xiaoying, who was carrying the bowl and basin to clean in the kitchen.
Following his gaze, Xun Ke seemed to understand something for a moment.
As if he had been struck by lightning, he froze in place, his lips trembled, and he could not utter a single word.
Thousands of words were blocked in his heart, and the great master was at a loss.
