Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 194 Guiguzi's Five Levels of Apprenticeship
Enter the system space with ease.

Before entering the door that was shining with light, an idea popped up in Qin Luo's mind that made him laugh out loud.

What does Guiguzi look like?

however……

He unexpectedly discovered that the first thing he thought of was the art image in the game "Glory of the King".

This cultural symbol is outrageous, but at the same time... very strong.

Brainwashing happens unconsciously.

Even if I don't play games very much, but if I see a lot, I will form something like a "thought stamp" in my mind.

Taking a deep breath, throwing away the messy thoughts, Qin Luo pushed open the door.

What came into view was an old man dressed in coarse linen, with a thin figure, and his eyes were calm and bright, full of wisdom.

"Hello teacher."

Qin Luo had a sense of respect in his heart, even though he knew that the other party was just a consciousness, he still saluted respectfully.

How strong is Guiguzi?

Let's just say...

His theories have been banned for thousands of years, and written words have been forbidden to be circulated in all dynasties.

However, it did not become extinct.

This in itself is almost a miracle.

The Mohists are all extinct.

"I'm not your teacher yet, don't worry, if you want to enter my school, there are five barriers."

Guiguzi's tone was very gentle, with a smile on his face.

Ok?
Qin Luo immediately lifted his spirits.

There is still a test?

And... there are as many as five levels.

However, this really makes me curious.

At the same time, he was also thinking that this opening sentence might also be one of the words of "Ghost Valley Learning".

From the very beginning, keep a firm grip on your mind.

"Teacher, please speak."

Qin Luo still did not change his address.

This is my own stubbornness.

After all, it's arranged by the system, so it's impossible for him not to teach, right?
Speaking of this at the beginning, one of the purposes is naturally to "promote self-worth" and make myself more important.

"Not urgent."

"Let me ask first, what five qualifications do you think you need to enter my school?"

Guiguzi said calmly, and stretched out his hand to signal Qin Luo to take a seat, but he wanted to test him first.

this problem……

Qin Luo couldn't help but fell silent, thinking carefully.

The Gate of Ghost Valley, studying ancient and modern times, can even be said to be all-encompassing. It is the pinnacle of machinations and tactics, and even the art of war.

Several of his apprentices seem to have inherited different things.

According to legend, Guiguzi has received more than 500 apprentices in total, and eight of them are the most famous.

This, in terms of numbers, is much less than the 72 Confucian disciples and the [-] masters of Confucianism.

However, in terms of quality, it is more abundant.

Just look at the names.

Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Shang Yang, Lu Buwei, Bai Qi, Li Mu.

From politicians, diplomats, legalists, military strategists, and businessmen...it covers everything.

Qin Luo thought hard.

If it is the Confucian Five Passes for accepting disciples, it is extremely simple, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, nothing else.

But right now, I'm still a little uncertain about the theory of Ghost Valley.

What do these disciples have in common?

The only common denominator is...they are all dead.

"I think, first of all, you must be...smart."

Various thoughts emerged in Qin Luo's mind, but he still gave the first answer he thought.

Whether it is military or political, even business, if you are not smart enough or have enough IQ, it will definitely not work.

Guiguzi smiled and nodded, but didn't speak, motioning for him to continue.

Hey.

It seems to be a little bit.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Luo reversed the process from the results and gave a second answer: "I think you need to restrain yourself, be discerning, be sober at all times, be aware of your own weaknesses, and be aware of the weaknesses of others. Everything starts from Only by proceeding objectively can we assess the situation and make correct judgments.”

Isn't that what the art of vertical and horizontal maneuvering is all about?
Hearing this, Guiguzi's eyes lit up slightly, and his smile became more benevolent.

"This is the fifth level."

"You should say it in advance."

Uh.

Qin Luo pursed her lips and smiled, but pondered again in her heart.

The checkpoint, obviously, the further back, the more difficult it is to do.

If you can do what you said above, since it is already the fifth level, the previous ones may be easier.

Based on this idea, Qin Luo thought of something again.

"Be utilitarian, win-lost, and result-oriented."

This is my instinctive impression of the Ghost Valley study, and it is also what I lack the most.

Anyway, doing things by yourself is definitely not result-oriented, but just as long as you feel good about yourself.

This kind of value is to be cast aside in Confucian culture.

On the contrary, after entering the commercial society of capital, it became the mainstream again.

In fact, in this era, many people's standards of conduct are coincident with the theory of Guigu.

Hearing Qin Luo's call, Guiguzi smiled even wider.

"This is the fourth level."

"Morality is a tool, righteousness is a tool, human heart is a tool, language is a tool, everything you see is just a tool, and the purpose of all tools is just to achieve the goal."

"Utilitarianism, winning and losing, everyone has it, and beasts also have it. A lamb that has just been born knows how to grab milk, and a bird that has just hatched knows how to grab food. This is the way of heaven."

He deliberately explained a few more words.

Qin Luo nodded immediately.

Passed three levels.

There are two final levels left.

"In addition to these three points, I think that knowledge is also needed. Travel around the world, see all kinds of things, learn a lot, ask questions, and use database..."

As Qin Luo was speaking, he suddenly felt that the word "database" might affect communication, and maybe he didn't understand it, so he put it another way: "It takes a long enough time, enough things, accumulated experience and background to be able to, to make the right judgments.”

Guiguzi nodded again.

The eyes were obviously very satisfied.

well.

I understand very thoroughly.

Of course, Qin Luo is also standing on the shoulders of giants.

Modern people with normal IQ can basically understand these through the "cultural heritage" deep in their bones.

After all, it has been down for thousands of years, and it has been subtle.

The last level...

Fifth pass.

Qin Luo fell into deep thought for a long time.

Suddenly, I feel that the above four points are almost the same.

First of all, be smart enough and have enough IQ.

Second, the knowledge is broad enough, the experience is enough, the database has been accumulated, and in Internet language, it is called pattern and cognition.

Third, the desire for utilitarianism and desire to win and lose must be strong enough, and the goal must be clear enough. If you don't give up until you reach the Yellow River, you must go for the strongest.

Fourth, stay sober, be objective and realistic, deal with people, and act from your weaknesses.

like……

If all these four points are achieved, almost everything you want to do can be done, right?

"Is it luck?"

Qin Luo asked tentatively.

Luck, of course, is also a very important ingredient.

Guiguzi shook his head.

"Luck is not fundamental, it is art, it can be changed, and it can be changed."

"It's part of what you're learning."

Qin Luo:! ! !
Dang even was a little shocked.

Can you really change your luck?

Isn't this reduced to metaphysics again?
He was getting more and more confused.

Guiguzi was not in a hurry, and waited patiently, while Qin Luo continued to think.

"Could it be... a family background?"

"No, it's not."

"Feel sorry."

As Qin Luo spoke, he quickly denied himself.

Among his eight famous disciples, most of them were not from famous families.

Guiguzi just smiled lightly and didn't speak.

"Body?"

"A healthy body is the foundation of everything."

Qin Luo made another guess.

Guiguzi couldn't help laughing out loud: "Although he missed, it's not far away."

"The first step in getting started is to be articulate and have a good appearance."

"You can be my apprentice."

Qin Luo: ...

It turned out to be handsome and eloquent.

True, a little outrageous.

However, after thinking about it, these two points, indeed, each point is very important.

Although not a decisive factor, but a stepping stone.
