"Zizheng, there are still a few days left for the journey, can you still take it?"

"Don't worry sir, Zheng doesn't feel bitter!"

The two people who are talking to each other are ladies in fine clothes, and the other is a young man in brocade clothes. They are riding their horses at a slow pace, and they look a little dusty. It makes people know that they have been on the road for several days. The exhaustion of ordinary journeys can't hide Tiancheng's temperament. Anyone who looks at them can tell that they are either rich or expensive. The tall horses sitting under the two are even the best horses in thousands of miles.

The young woman who was wearing a hood and cloak to hide her true face smiled lightly and said, "It's not far from the border of Qin, it's still peaceful, when I leave the border of Qin, I'm afraid there will be a little trouble by going to South Korea."

The woman in Chinese dress riding the horse in front turned her head and smiled and said, "At most, I'll trouble 'Talented Lady Ji' to hold a few banquets."

This woman is wearing a dark dress with a curly train, bright color, intricate and beautiful patterns, her waist is becoming more and more slender, she is charming, her hair is black like satin, she is shining, she is wearing a bun in a bun, and she is wearing silver steps obliquely. Smooth skin and bright eyes are truly beautiful.

The young man behind him and the woman who laughed before stared blankly for a moment, and then the young girl who was also luxuriously dressed smiled and said, "If the real person had dressed like this earlier, I am afraid that the immortals in the sky would have killed the real person." If you welcome them, how can you stay with the mortal world?"

"Ji talented girl don't make fun of me, the border is approaching, but don't miss it, the title of prince, real person and talented girl can no longer be said."

"A real person calls Yanran a talented girl, how dare Yanran disrespect her?"

These two people are both very different in the world, and their frowns and smiles are all scenery. At this moment, they are answering with smiles and anger, and people don't want to disturb them.

Who would have known that these two were actually Ji Yanran, a talented woman who moved the Seven Kingdoms, and Daoist Qingxu?

Yingzheng knew that her husband's youth was just right, but he didn't know that if she abandoned her Taoist attire and changed into the attire of a noble lady nowadays, she would be so different. , the soft red and bright makeup dotted her body, and a smile made her heart turbulent.

Ji Yanran rode to Yaoguang's right side and rode, looked at Yaoguang's bun again, and couldn't help but said: "If I didn't know that today's 'Yaoguang' is yesterday's 'Qingxu', Yanran would not dare to recognize it... …It’s unbelievable that Taoists still have such deep research on women’s hair buns. Chu’s clothes are still gorgeous, could it be that Yao Guang was originally from Chu?”

Yao Guang replied with a smile: "If you're not from Chu, you can't dress well? In Yanran's mind, all Taoists are disheveled and slovenly?"

When it comes to "with disheveled hair", Yao Guang subconsciously thinks of the famous and romantic Wanhua disciple in Qingyan Wanhua Valley, and can't help but smile again.The ponytail on her head was not a new hairstyle in the Tang Dynasty, but because it was easy to undo, she learned it from the female disciples in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.

Ji Yanran nodded seriously on purpose, and said: "Yanran thinks that Taoist disciples are free from any constraints and are free to sing long songs and have a drink against the moon."

"Naturally there are people like that." Yao Guang smiled and nodded, "There are thousands of purples and reds in the world, and there are naturally three thousand differences in Taoism. The roots of all schools of thought are all related to Taoism, and now they are all different. Is it also a gesture of Taoism?"

Ji Yanran couldn't help being startled, and said after a while, "Yanran has a question for Yao Guang."

Yao Guang nodded happily, "Please tell me."

After pondering for a moment, Ji Yanran asked in a low voice: "Confucian Confucius once studied under Daoist Laozi, and now Confucianism is the most prominent school in the world, and Taoism is hidden in Hangu... The Yin-Yang School originated from Taoism, and it split into another family hundreds of years ago. Now that the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements is on the rise, people in the world think that the school of Yin-Yang is the school of Yin-Yang, but they don’t know about it. The lineage of Guigu Zongheng also studied Hangu, saying, “When you get angry, the princes are afraid, and when you live in peace, the world will be extinguished.”

After hearing these words, Ying Zheng understood.

Those who originated from Taoism or had an old relationship with Taoism are now becoming more and more famous, but Taoism is still quietly living in Hangu. If Mr. Yao Guang hadn't entered the world, I am afraid that the world would still only know immortals and gods but not home.

Taoists don't care?

Yao Guang looked at Ji Yanran with a smile, and said: "Every school of thought has its own purpose, just like Chen Su Lie Zhang, there should be a lot of stars, a single star can't make up the night sky."

Ji Yanran frowned slightly, and continued: "To establish a sect, one should seek its name to prosper and be passed down through the ages. Even if there are all kinds of unique learning, who would know that it is hidden in the night?"

Compared with today's Confucianism, Mohism, Yin and Yang and other schools of thought, where stars emerge one after another and write books, Taoism has been silent for too long.It can even be said that a year ago, except for those who belonged to a hundred schools of thought, Taoism had been forgotten by the world for decades.

Yao Guang originally thought that Ji Yanran wanted to fight for the Yin-Yang school and the Taoist school, and he thought that he was not a member of the "Taoist school" in Hangu in this world, so he should just say a few words, and he had no intention of arguing. Feeling wrong, she couldn't help asking: "Yanran... is it unfair for the Taoist school?"

Ji Yanran scissored her eyes, she frowned and nodded.

"Yan Ran doesn't understand why the Taoist school is willing to remain silent for so long. If the descendants don't know their family anymore, how can they inherit it?"

Yao Guang and Ji Yanran looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help raising their eyebrows and smiling.

"Yan Ran thinks that a great reputation can protect the inheritance?"

Ji Yanran heard a lot in the Yin-Yang family that he wanted to prosper the Yin-Yang family and recruit disciples. Although she felt that Yao Guang's tone of question was a bit strange, she still nodded.

"Only by becoming famous first, will it become widely known, and only by discarding the chaff and saving the essence, can one be worthy of being entrusted to the inheritor."

Yao Guang laughed lightly, and said: "Husband only can do this in troubled times. If it is a peaceful and prosperous age, the reputation will not last long. It grows in spring and grows in summer, and harvests in autumn and hides in winter. If it is too famous, it will be safe for a long time. "

Looking at the annals of history, which theory has been passed down longer than Taoism?

Now Confucianism and Mohism are both called prominent schools, the Yin-Yang family will prosper, and the reputation of vertical and horizontal will make the Seven Kingdoms fearful. Legalism flourished in Qin Dynasty, and its reputation is a hundred times better than Taoism.

Ji Yanran was startled, she hesitated to speak, and then fell silent.

Only then did Ying Zheng say: "Sir, Guigu is in Weiguo, we take the route of Han and Wei, what should we do if someone finds out our identity?"

Yao Guang pondered for a moment, glanced at Ji Yanran, and said: "Now that Qin and Zhao are fighting, it is absolutely impossible to take the way of Zhao. The three of us can only be more suspicious if we pretend to be civilians, so we simply pretend to be the nobles of Chu. Weak, there are few celebrities in the country, the chance of seeing us is not high, and in the Wei Kingdom, talented women are the guests of King Wei and Lord Xinling, so there is no danger... You and I can pretend to be Yinyang family Next, even if King Wei raised doubts and questioned the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, it would be impossible for disciples of Yin-Yang of the Daoist School to know the difference. I heard that Mr. Zou, the Lord of Yunzhong, is in Wei State at the moment, so it is not a problem for us to get out of Wei safely."

Ji Yanran's mind was in confusion, at this moment she gave Yao Guang a lazy look, and said with a helpless smile: "It turns out that the reason why Yao Guang asked my master where he was wandering around at the moment the day before yesterday... Forget it, the next Moon God of the Yin Yang family has already been chosen." Qin, the Yin-Yang family will naturally help with all their strength. Speaking of it, although Wei is a small country, it is strange that there are many famous scholars and gentlemen."

"On our way, we can also see with our own eyes what kind of feng shui the Wei land is. It can raise so many gentlemen, but it is so weak that it can strengthen the country. All the heroes are in other countries. Guigu is in the Wei country. The strength of the family can't help defend the country? I don't think so."

Yao Guang thought very interestingly, not to mention, there are already several great talents of the Wei State in Qin State who have defected to them. Not where it is today.

Yingzheng suddenly said: "Lu Xiang once said that if a small country is defended, the venerable will be more honored, but there will be no way to raise the virtuous, if talents are not used, the country will not be the country."

"The venerable is more honorable, and there is no way to raise the virtuous..."

Yao Guang repeated these eight words, as if he had realized something in his heart.

The respected are more respected, and the humble are humbled.When birth becomes the only condition that restricts a person's future status, talent, learning, and conduct are all irrelevant. In this way, people with great ambitions and great talents will definitely leave, and class solidification will bring about a backwater for the entire country. Vitality is consumed from generation to generation, and sooner or later the country will perish.In a sense, the later Jin Dynasty also died in this way.

Ji Yanran suddenly sneered and said: "If you promote the virtuous and meritorious, there will be ministers who punish the emperor. Marquis Wei only wants to be a prince for his generation, so naturally there will be a disaster of weakening the country."

Yingzheng's heart moved, and he asked, "What Mr. Ji said refers to 'Tian Shi Dai Qi'?"

The Qi State was originally feuded by Jiang Ziya, and the Jiang surname was the royal family. After Qi Kanggong, the Jiang surname became extinct, and the Tian family became the Qi royal family.

Ji Yanran nodded lightly, and said after a while: "Since the decline of the Zhou royal family, the rise of the feudal lords, people's minds have changed, one life may be the king, but the next generation may not be the king, the countries are constantly fighting, and the domestic monarchs and ministers have two hearts. There are also "rituals" to follow. Now the strong will become stronger, and it is unstoppable to annex the weak. Now, to end the troubled times, the only way is for King Wen to come out of Qishan and bring peace to the world, just like in the past.”

Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard that, Ji Yanran had never said such sharp words before.

Seeing Ying Zheng's bewildered expression, Yao Guang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder lightly, saying, "Now Qin has generals who are not inferior to the six kingdoms, and Zi Zheng is only short of a 'Tai Gong Wang'."

Ji Yanran smiled and said, "Perhaps the grandpa is already in Qin, so I don't know."

Yao Guang thought of Li Si, who hadn't made his mark yet, and couldn't help laughing: "The Grand Duke has been cultivating Taoism for sixty years and only left the mountain to assist Zhou. Zizheng might as well wait ten years."

Ji Yanran couldn't help laughing, "Ten years from now, I will be competing with Zizheng. If a Grand Duke Wang arrives at that time, Yao Guang is really cruel."

Yao Guang smiled and said, "It's okay for Yan Ran to lose without fighting."

Ji Yanran glared at Yao Guang even more amusingly, and galloped on the horse, surpassing the two and heading straight ahead.

Yao Guang glanced sideways at Ying Zheng, and said sternly, "Zizheng, within ten years, 'Ji Yanran' can be trusted, but 'Yin Yang Family' can't be trusted. Ten years later...you have to see for yourself."

Ying Zheng nodded, half understanding.

Twenty days later, the three arrived at the entrance of Ghost Valley.

The mountains and rocks are strange, the green bamboo forest is secluded, the clear spring is gurgling, and the insects are not heard.

Yao Guang was about to announce that someone was visiting in the valley, when footsteps could be heard in the bamboo forest.

Not long after, Guiguzi appeared in front of the three of them, he was a little surprised, his eyes went from Yaoguang to Ji Yanran, and finally fixed on Yingzheng's face.

"This is the disciple of Daoist Qingxu, right? He really is a famous teacher and high-student. Daoist Qingxu and Ji Caicai came hand in hand, and the ghost valley is full of splendor."

Yao Guang gestured to Ying Zheng to salute, bowed his hands with a smile and said, "If you take the liberty to visit, please don't blame Mr. Guigu."

Ji Yanran said with a smile: "Yanran was very pleasantly surprised to see the feng shui treasure of Guigu today, I just hope I didn't bother the owner of Guigu."

Guiguzi smiled, and stretched his fingers inwardly, "Three distinguished guests, please come with me. There are formations in the valley, don't touch the wood and stones casually."

Ying Zheng was slightly startled, subconsciously moved closer to Yao Guang, Yao Guang smiled and took his hand and walked inside.

From the corner of his eyes, Guiguzi kept the actions of the two of them in his eyes, and the speculation in his heart became certain. When his eyes swept over Ji Yanran, the two of them happened to meet each other, and there was an incomparably similar look in their eyes. The two followed The heart is clear, realizing that the other party and oneself both understand the same thing, so each smiles, just pretending not to know.

After walking through a long forest path, the front suddenly opened up, and the sun was blowing.

Ying Zheng couldn't help raising his hand to block the glare of the light, and when he put it down, he saw a young boy on the grass in front of him waving a wooden sword.He knew almost instantly that he was Guiguzi's disciple, one of the opponents his husband had set for him ten years later.

Guiguzi said loudly: "Nie'er, come here, there are distinguished guests here today. These two are Taoist Qingxu Daoist, Yinyang Family's Moon God, and this young master is your future opponent."

The boy put away the wooden sword and walked over. Although he was very young, he did not panic like other children of the same age. Instead, he saluted several people calmly, and finally looked up at Ying Zheng, as if he wanted to remember his appearance. After a while, he lowered his eyes and stood beside Guiguzi silently.

Seeing that the future Juggernaut is just such a child at this moment, Yao Guang can't help but want to laugh when he sees such an old-fashioned appearance at such a young age.

Guiguzi stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Ying Zheng glanced at Yao Guang, and felt relieved when he looked back with a smile from the other party. He bent down and squatted down to meet the boy's eye level, and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Ying Zheng."

The boy was slightly stunned, and then replied in a soft and bright voice unique to children: "I am Gai Nie."

The old and the young looked at each other, while Gui Guzi and Yao Guang, who were masters, also smiled without saying a word, but Ji Yanran put one hand on her forehead helplessly.

If Yao Guang felt something, she asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Yan Ran?"

Ji Yanran said helplessly: "When I think that my opponent in the future is still a child, I feel old."

Yao Guang smiled and said, "That's why I said, Yan Ran can be defeated without a fight."

Ji Yanran gave Yao Guang an angry look, and said, "I'm starting to think that you set the time on purpose for so long. If I compete within three to five years, I will definitely beat these kids."

Yao Guang couldn't help laughing and said: "You all know that they are just children at the moment, even if they win, they won't win by force, right?"

Ji Yanran sighed, lifted the corner of her skirt a little, then knelt down on her knees, and said to Gai Nie with a smile: "Hello, descendant of Guigu, I am Ji Yanran, a disciple of the Yin Yang family. Ten years later, please be merciful." .”

No matter how precocious Ge Nie was, he couldn't be sure what was going on, so he looked at his master Guiguzi with a straight face.

Guiguzi patted Gai Nie on the head with a smile, "These two, and the successor of the Mohist giant, the four of you will have a competition in ten years' time. This competition may change the fate of the world."

Gai Nie nodded with a vague understanding.
