Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 178, Ancient Fierce Beast——
After Ziyou adjusted his inner strength, there was noise and flames not far away. The loud noise just now shocked half of Sanghai City. All the forces and officials in Sanghai followed the sound, and Nongyu came to Ziyou's side .

"Sir, how are you?" Nongyu asked.

"It's okay, let's go first."

Nongyu nodded, performed lightness kung fu and left here, and Ziyou grabbed Wu and also performed lightness kung fu and left here. After the people who followed the sound arrived, there was nothing else at the scene except the rough sea. Everyone, look at me and me Look at you, they all left here again under the driving of the government.

After watching everyone leave, Ziyou, Nongyu and Wu who were hiding in the dark breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nongyu, how do you know I'm here?" Ziyou looked at Nongyu and asked.

"When I was just about to go to bed, I heard the sound of the door opening. I thought it was some criminals coming, but I didn't expect that it was the husband who was going out. I watched the husband leave with Wu. I waited until the husband was gone. The stalking skills I learned in Quicksand analyzed the whereabouts of my husband, so I followed." Nongyu said in a low voice.

Ziyou's cultivation level is higher than hers. If he rashly followed Nongyu, he felt that he would be discovered, so he waited until Ziyou was far away, followed Ziyou with the tracking skills taught by Zi Nu, and waited for her to arrive. Later, I saw Ziyou fighting against the sound wave, but it was obvious that Ziyou was losing the duel, so Nongyu played his latest song, which attracted thousands of fish to compete and interrupted the sound wave in the waves. He neutralized the sound with the music, and Ziyou suppressed the sound.

"If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I'd be seriously injured if I didn't die today, thank you very much." Ziyou said.

"You don't have to be polite, sir. This is what I should do." Nongyu said, looking at the sea with fear in his eyes, "What kind of creature is that sound, sir? It's so terrifying."

"I don't know, it's a bit similar to the legendary jiao." Ziyou said.

"Ancient beasts? Do such beasts really exist in the world?" Nongyu said.

Yu is an ancient fierce beast, commonly known as Wangtianhou, Chaotianhou, and Tenglong.According to the records of Confucianism, there is a beast in the East China Sea named Ji, which is shaped like a rabbit, with two pointed ears, only about a foot long, and its body will rot when it is drowned.

There are good and bad records about Yu. Some people say that it is an ancient fierce beast, that it is the nemesis of the dragon clan, and that it eats dragon brains. Some people say that it is the son of the Dragon King and has the habit of keeping watch.The stepping dragon on the top of the Huabiao pillar roars at the sky, which is regarded as conveying the will of heaven and conveying the feelings of the people.

There are many legends about 犼, but no one has actually seen 犼. Most of the Confucian classics are just a few words, and no one said what its cry was, but the cry just now was indeed as recorded in the records. People will be shocked to death on the spot, not only the weak, but also people may be killed by the shock.

"Although no one has seen Yan now, this kind of fierce beast exists. You may not believe it if you tell it. The mythical beasts and fierce beasts recorded in "Shan Hai Jing" all once lived in the world, but for some reason As a result, these creatures no longer appear in the world, and even if they appear, they are just like a flash in the pan, passing away in a blink of an eye." Ziyou said.

The records of Confucianism clearly stated that the creatures in the "Shan Hai Jing" had really existed, but they are not born now due to various problems. As for the reason, there is no clear record in the Confucian classics. After all, various Rare and exotic beasts still existed. At that time, people were like dragons, and they raised all kinds of sacred and fierce beasts as mounts and livestock. However, after King Wu defeated Zhou, all kinds of sacred and fierce beasts gradually disappeared. what to download.

Many sages of Confucianism speculate that the reason for this is that after the end of the Zhou-Shang War, the world changed again, causing these beasts and beasts to not be born at all. , the top gods and beasts disappeared one after another, but what caused the great changes in the world is still a mystery. There were originally records in the Zhou royal family, but after the Zhou royal family moved eastward, a large number of historical secrets were either burned or lost. As a result, this has become a permanent secret.

Ziyou guessed that Taoism might know something. First, Lao Tzu was the history guard of the Zhou royal family, responsible for the history books and various classics collected by the entire Zhou royal family. There are doubts about this, but no one knows whether Lao Tzu answered Confucius, and Confucius left nothing behind, perhaps what was left behind, posterity does not know.

Nongyu was a little surprised. She used the "Shan Hai Jing" or various books that recorded rare and exotic animals as reading materials for entertainment, but Ziyou suddenly told her that these had existed before, and she used them to scare Ji All kinds of fierce beasts in the language also exist, which made her a little unacceptable for a while.

"Aren't you joking, sir?" Nongyu said.

"The Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions still has the descendants of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and they are responsible for guarding the weapons left behind by Chi You." Ziyou said, the two peerless weapons, the Chi You Sword and the Bing Demon God, are still lying in the desert. If it wasn't for the wrong time to open it now, Ziyou would have thought about getting it. With these two artifacts in hand, he could really fight against thousands of troops by himself.

Looking at Ziyou's appearance, Nongyu knew it was not a joke, but he still couldn't accept this kind of thing. Wu who was on the side was stunned for a long time. I saw this name in some classics in my uncle's class, but I was caught before I could read it, and the books were 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 sharply, there is something hidden in the water, and the stone tablet is more like a suppression The utensils used to suppress the things that cannot be born below, if it is really the ancient fierce beast Yan, even the combination of the Qinglong hidden by the Mohists and the Warrior Demon God may not be able to suppress Yan 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 choppy sea again, with a heavy expression on his face. He withdrew his gaze and left with Nongyu and Wu. After Ziyou left, a figure appeared on the edge of the cliff, looking at the choppy sea, he put the box in his hand Open it, and there is half a stone lock inside.

puff~
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. Seeing Ziyou's various inquiries after he came back, in order not to worry everyone, Ziyou didn't tell the truth, but said that he heard something strange and went out to have a look, but no one said anything. Asking again, he went back to his room to sleep, but after such a fuss, Song Hai lost sleep for a while.

The next day, all kinds of rumors about last night appeared one after another. One by one speculated that the Dragon King in the sea was angry, so he made such a sound to warn the world. For a while, the people went to the seaside to sacrifice to the Dragon King, praying for the Dragon King to appease his anger, but This time, no one dared to make money by taking advantage of the loud noise. The last person who did this had just grown grass on his grave, and they didn't want to be with those people.

No one used this matter of sacrifice to amass money wantonly, and no one in the court of Qi State took it seriously, and there was little Shengxianzhuang sitting here, so there would be no trouble. Although Xiaoshengxianzhuang had the intention to stop the people's sacrifice, However, it is inevitable for people to pin their fear of the unknown on some gods. This is human nature and normal. Songhai itself has a custom of offering sacrifices to the Dragon King, so this cannot be called an adulterous sacrifice.

However, Xiaoshengxianzhuang still sent disciples to persuade and explain this matter, so that the people should not just regard sacrifices as the whole of life. Relying on the prestige of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, soon fewer and fewer people offered sacrifices.

Standing on the top of the back mountain, Xunzi looked at the west seaside where there was no more black smoke billowing, and said to Ziyou
"What do you think about this matter?"

"For the fear of the unknown, the common people need to release this emotion, and the same unknown and powerful god has become the best choice, as long as there are no prostitution, evil sacrifices and people deliberately collecting money, it is feasible, but now the gods God sacrifices are messy, and customs vary from place to place. It’s okay to have a small sage village in Sanghai. In other places, local sects or government can manage it. However, in some places, prostitution and evil sacrifices are common. He should be executed," Ziyou said.

What Ziyou was talking about was not other places, but the state of Chu. It is obvious to all that there are many prostitutes in the land of Wu and Chu. The Confucian disciples who entered Chu these days also know a lot about this matter. They tried to explain these truths, but the result attracted The people, the government, and the priests rejected the three parties, but they were the ones who were expelled.

"Then what do you think about the situation in Chu?" Xunzi asked.

"Fight poison 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 of the court of Chu State 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 there is the support of the court, the lonely gods and wild ghosts will be banned directly, and the righteous gods recognized by the court will be retained. Although there will be some turmoil in a short period of time, after the big change , will be a new state of Chu, the people are prosperous and strong, and the country is self-reliant, but in reality there is no what if, except for some officials, the entire Chu state has acquiesced to this matter, and there are too many interests involved, there is no such thing as People dare to touch this matter.

Xunzi nodded, looked at the beach and said nothing, Ziyou looked at Xunzi and asked in a low voice

"Teacher, what is the thing in the sea?"

As a great master, Xunzi had lived in Xiaoshengxianzhuang for decades. Ziyou would not believe him if he hadn't noticed anything strange in the sea. Moreover, Xiaoshengxianzhuang was so close to him, so last night's movements must have been concealed. I can't live with Xunzi, but Xunzi doesn't say anything, which makes Ziyou very helpless, so he can only ask.

"Now is not the time for you to know." Xunzi said without looking back at the beach.

"Why do you old men like to say this kind of thing? When I visited Taiyi Mountain, I asked about Yu Yuan's affairs. Master Bei Mingzi also said the same thing, and he also said the same thing. Could it be that something has something to do with Yu Yuan? " Ziyou asked.

"How did Bei Mingzi tell you about Yu Yuan?" Xunzi asked.

"Explained to me the origin of Yu Yuan and the original mastery of heaven and earth, and Donghuang Taiyi's greed for Yu Yuan's power. He wanted to use this to break through the Grand Master and enter the realm above the Grand Master, but in the end he was beaten by Yu Yuan. The family is about to disappear," Ziyou said.

"It's enough for him to tell you, don't think about the rest, you have to remember that unless you enter the Grand Master, don't go to that sea area anymore, it's not a place you can touch now. "Xunzi Fuxu said.

"Then you have to tell me why I can't touch it? That sea area often appears in Yan'er's dreams, and it also attracts Yan'er to go there." Ziyou said.

Hearing that Ji Yan was attracted by the sea over there, Xunzi turned his back and looked at Ziyou seriously and asked
"really?"

"It's true, that sea area is secretive, how do you think my three idiot disciples brought Yan'er there?" Ziyou said.

"I see." Xunzi muttered in a low voice, as if thinking of something.
