Chapter 48: I will take over my own world
"These old men are very energetic." Lin Wuya looked down at the three figures at the front of the Stairway to Heaven from a high altitude.

They are Taiyi, Xunzi and Beimingzi.

After more than 2000 steps, their pace slowed down a lot, and their movements were like slow motion.

They were all in a state of shock, sweating profusely, breathing rapidly, and didn't make any sound.

Suddenly, Taiyi in front stopped.

Xunzi and Bei Mingzi looked at each other, and the test of the secret illusion was coming.

Surprisingly, within a minute, Taiyi came to his senses and continued to move forward.

"???" Xunzi and Beimingzi were puzzled as to whether they had passed through the illusion or were taking a short rest.

"Taiyi is proficient in illusion. It's normal to pass." Xunzi said.

"Maybe." Bei Mingzi could only think this way; "Three thousand steps horse. Huh?"

Just when Bei Mingzi was about to speak, he saw Xunzi motionless beside him. He let out a soft sigh and knew that Xunzi had entered the illusion test.

The scene in front of Xunzi changed drastically. His clothes were much older, but still neat.

The early morning sunlight shines on the chopping board, and the sounds of children playing and fighting and fierce and noisy debates can be heard in my ears.

It was like waking up from a dream, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the past was true or false.

Then he looked at the many students in front of him who were having a heated discussion.

"Master Xun, may I ask whether human nature is good or evil?" asked a handsome Confucian scholar.

A distant memory emerged in Xunzi's mind. It was decades ago when he was the county magistrate in Lanling, Chu State. During his reign, Confucianism flourished and attracted a large number of students.

They talked loudly, discussed the general trend of the world, and discussed the classics of Confucius.

Xunzi often gave lectures to them, preached, taught and solved their doubts. For a time, it surpassed the Jixia Academy at that time and became a new academic holy place.

Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived. With the death of Chun Shenjun, he no longer served as the county magistrate and returned to Xiaoshengxianzhuang, leaving deep regrets.

The memory of the past flashed by, and after Xunzi came back to his senses, he smiled slightly: "Human nature is evil!"

This simple sentence caused a violent response among Confucian scholars.

There are those who agree and those who disagree. They debate with each other and create sparks of wisdom.

The movement of civilization bloomed in the fierce debate, people became knowledgeable and began to think independently, and the mark of civilization began.

"Master Xun, may I ask what is a king and what is a hegemon?"

"Longli respects the virtuous and becomes a king, respects the law and loves the people and becomes a hegemon."

The eyes of all the Confucian scholars were wide open, and their hearts could not calm down for a long time. These remarks were shocking to the world, and they can be called true masters.

"The students have been taught." A group of students bowed their hands and saluted.

"Hahaha." Xunzi laughed when he saw this group of students, and bowed respectfully to the students;
"Learning only stops when it comes to practice. Confucianism still has a long way to go. Please disperse."

With a falling sound, the scene around him suddenly disappeared. The past was past, and even regrets were of no use.

Only by seizing the moment can you go further.

The scene changed again.

The cherry blossoms bloom under the snowy moon, and the falling cherry blossoms bloom in the blink of an eye.

Xunzi suddenly opened his eyes, confused. What is the intertwining of dreams and dreams?
"Old man, I've been waiting for you for a long time." A loud and uninhibited voice fell into his ears.

Xunzi walked over blankly, and under the cherry blossom trees, a sloppy old man was waiting for his arrival with warm wine.

"He Guanzi!" Xunzi's eyes were shocked. The dead He Guanzi was actually resurrected.

"There is a kind of person who never gets tired of eating fine food, never gets tired of fine cooking, and won't sit on an upright table. He's called a gentleman. Do you think it's ridiculous?"

Xunzi twitched the corner of his mouth and began to scold him. He was indeed the crown prince.

"Some people say 'no desire' but don't know that 'no desire' is also a kind of desire. They also say 'quiet and inactive', but they go all over the world to recruit disciples." Xunzi responded.

He Guanzi's expression became serious and he looked at Xunzi.

Xunzi also became extremely serious.

"Old man, the Tao cannot be taught personally, and the karma cannot be taught through assistance."

"Old beggar. When we are walking among three people, there must be one teacher from me. All things in the world can be our teachers. Who do you think is the elder?"

"I'm such a ****, I don't ask questions, I don't answer questions."

"Worse than a **** beast!"

For a while, the two of them exchanged words with each other, forgetting the time and the scene, as if they were back to the first time they met.

After scolding each other for a while, the two of them were thirsty and grabbed the wine on the chopping board, toasting to each other. "It's fun, it's fun."

The drizzle from the sky fell on Xunzi's face, and the depression in his heart seemed to be lifted at this moment.

"Hahaha~"

With regret in his heart, he laughed heartily.

"Old man, why are you laughing?" He Guanzi asked, taking a sip of wine.

Xunzi shook his head, stood up, and saluted He Guanzi: "Ashes return to ashes, dust returns to earth, He Guanzi, go on a good journey."

He Guanzi's smiling face froze for a moment, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. He laughed and said, "Hahaha, old man, I will have a debate with you in the next life, and I will definitely win against you."

"Go ahead and dream." Xunzi responded with a straight face.

The scene disappeared, and Xunzi's vision went dark. When it brightened, he returned to the Stairway to Heaven again.

After a long time, I came back to my senses and understood in an instant: "So that's it, the illusion of the Stairway to Heaven is to help people improve their state of mind. If you are unwilling to give up, have regrets in your heart and cannot extricate yourself, you will undoubtedly fall."

"Taiyi has lost his memory. He can't remember the past. He has no regrets and no fear in his heart. He naturally leaves the illusion very quickly, but his state of mind has not yet improved."

Xunzi glanced at Bei Mingzi, who was trapped in an illusion not far away, and continued to move forward in silence.

Han Fei finally reached the two thousand steps. He collapsed on the ground and wiped his sweat. The pressure of gravity on his back was very strong. If he hadn't supported it with all his strength, he would have fallen down by now.

Glancing at the people around him, the number was reduced by nearly half. These people either couldn't bear the gravity and fell and gave up, or they were trapped in an illusion and couldn't extricate themselves and were eliminated.

"The King of Qin also fell into a fantasy?" Han Fei said to himself when he saw the motionless Ying Zheng.

"See my king, my king is eternal and infinite, eternal and immortal!!"

Ying Zheng was now standing on a high platform, with densely packed soldiers standing below as far as the eye could see, as if tens of thousands of soldiers were arrayed, waiting for his order.

In the illusion, Ying Zheng passed the Tongtian Ladder exam and successfully entered Tiandao College. In the college, the dean devoted all his efforts to training, and he returned to China after completing his studies in just three years.

In one fell swoop, he suppressed the chaos in the court, seized the power, and used the knowledge learned in the academy to dominate the world and shock the world.

After unifying the world, he was not satisfied with the status quo and continued to expand. Da Qin's cavalry soon unified the entire world.

Soon he will head to other worlds.

Today is the swearing-in meeting. He will send troops to another world and fly the flag of Great Qin in every corner of the other world.

At this time, he was very high-spirited and extremely proud.

Look, these are the achievements of a few people.

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict!" A young general knelt down and shouted.

That's Wang Jian who took the longevity pill. Now he has regained his second spring and is full of energy.

"Report!!"

"Urgent report from the front. The world over there heard about the arrival of the Qin Dynasty. They were frightened. The whole country begged for surrender and begged the king for forgiveness!" A messenger came to the queue and loudly reported.

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

Yellow sand flew from the ground, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison. The sound was deafening and resounded throughout the world.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty, for taking over a realm without spending a single soldier!"

"My king is eternal and immortal!" The ministers knelt down and kowtowed.

Ying Zheng looked at all this with a sigh, clenching his fists unconsciously. This scene happened countless times, which was difficult for him to accept, and he immediately said angrily:

"I will take over the world for myself, why do you need to give it away?"

He rushed out of the sword on his waist and stabbed the sky with one sword.

"Your Majesty!!" All the ministers were frightened for a moment.

"Get out!" Ying Zheng shouted violently.

Click, click.

The scene in the depths seemed to be shattered and immediately fell into pieces.

When he came to his senses, he had already returned to the Stairway to Heaven.

"Whoo~"

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and continued to climb with dissatisfaction in his heart under tremendous pressure.

Even as gravity squeezed his shoulders, his body remained upright.
