Chapter 519 Freshmen

Ximen Shu hurriedly shook his head, wanting to know the story behind this.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Eat, shit, sleep. Read, write, teach. The year before last, half of the time was spent in school, saying almost the same thing every day, and talking to different people..."

"Isn't it boring to hear it like this? It's about the same as you, right?"

Ximen Shu was stunned, thinking that this is true, he is also a human being, and he must eat, shit, and sleep, but... But why do you say it like this, it seems that such a life is really not as interesting and meaningful as I thought Passion?
The middle-aged man smiled again: "I heard that many of you want to become Mohists and join the Mohist school. I don't rule out your desire to benefit the world, but let me say that some of you just want to I am afraid that I have no worries about food and clothing, and after listening to the morals of the Mohist school, I feel that my life is meaningless, and I have heard the stories behind so many Mohists like our Mohist...you don’t have it."

"So I felt, oh, becoming a Mohist to benefit the world and do righteousness, this is really a very passionate thing, how interesting? Right?"

Ximen Zhu nodded a little embarrassedly. I have to say that this middle-aged man can see people very accurately. Ximen Zhu didn't think so much at first, but when the middle-aged man said this, it was as if he had been blinded by a blindfold before. The layer of mist was wiped away by the middle-aged man, and some things that I hadn't thought clearly became extremely clear.

The middle-aged man looked at Ximen Zhu, with some playfulness in his eyes, and asked casually: "You noble children, although you are not old, have slept with women before, right? You are not a maid at home, but I'm afraid I've had sex with country girls too."

Ximen Zhu nodded a little bit embarrassed, not because it was something private or disgraceful, but because the age at which these things happened to him was a bit...late compared to the people in the circle.

But it happened anyway.

The middle-aged man used a metaphor, a crude but elegant metaphor.

"These things are somewhat similar to sleeping with a woman or marrying a woman to live together."

"You think that as a Mohist, your daily life is "Death in the Wild", and you will often have a joyful and passionate love between wild and boundless, it is just 'Comfortable! I am ignorant! I am ignorant! Ye bark'! Hearty, red in the face, unforgettable for a long time. It seems that as long as you enter the Mohist family, your life will be like this every day."

"As a matter of fact, to become a Mohist, every day's life is "Mang". As the so-called three-year-old woman is a wife, the house is exhausted; the long-cherished night sleeps, and the court is exhausted. There are not so many stories, and there is not so much passion. It is plain And living, doing things, eating, may sometimes have no passion and no interest, and sometimes it may even be like the three years after marriage in "Rogue", even sex feels meaningless."

"If you want to join the Mohist family after hearing those stories because your life is boring, I advise you not to go. You will regret it if you go, because that is not the life you want."

In the end, the middle-aged man with the severed finger spread out his palms as if summing up, "Benefiting the world, according to your current point of view, it is actually a very boring and boring thing."

"Basic clothing, food, shelter, transportation, eating, drinking, farming, and all kinds of work... It's not such a happy thing all day long. No one has it."

"Besides, why do you want to have such a story in your own life?"

"In the past, Zhitu Yu and Xian Zishuo asked Zi Mozi: 'Which is the most important thing for righteousness'? Zi Mozi said: 'For example, if you build a wall, those who can build it will build it, and those who can make it solid will make it solid. , those who are able to appreciate it will appreciate it, and then the wall will be accomplished. It is also true for righteousness. Those who can talk and debate can talk and argue, those who can tell books will talk about books, and those who can practice will do, and then righteous things will be accomplished."

"What can you do?"

When he said this, the middle-aged man had a joking smile on his face.

What he said meant that when the county master asked Mo Zi, what is a great duty to do righteousness?Mozi said, if you can debate, you should debate, if you can publicize, you should do publicity, if you can do things, do things...

And now, he is asking Ximen Zhu, what will you do?If you don’t know how to do anything, when you do justice to the world in the future, you still think about wonderful stories like Nie Zheng who made a sword, killed Wu Zhu with poison, and Hu Feizi’s five braves talked about Qu Jiang, then it will be too difficult. .

After asking this question, Simon Shu's expression was a little ugly, because he didn't know what he could do.

In terms of number nine, I heard that there are many people who are stronger than him in Sishang, how long has he learned it?How can it be compared with the new generation of Sishang who have received education since childhood?
When it comes to swordsmanship and fighting, the Mohists are not fighting, and they think that righteousness such as fighting with swords, revenge and murder is a small righteousness, and the Mohism basically does not use any assassination methods. If you really want to use Ximen, you feel that your half-baked swordsmanship is not as good as many of the Mohism. master.

On farming and farming?This is even more clueless.

When it comes to governing the country, it seems that this is more difficult. When I was young, I felt that I could govern the country. After being scolded by Ximen Leopard before, I realized that there are too many things in governing the country, and my thinking is too simple.

On the battlefield, the Mo family has its own military academy, its own promotion system, and its own tactical system. The sons of nobles like Ximen Zhu may have learned some battles in the era of chariot soldiers from their families when they were young, but times have changed. What they learned Those things are worthless.

In terms of Tianzhi skills, what they have learned is really incomparable to those children in Sishang who followed Shi from childhood to learn, and what they know is only superficial.

In the end, Ximen Zhi discovered that the only ones he could surpass most people in his body and stand out from others were those "five rituals" and "six joys" that he didn't even bother to learn.

However, even if Sishang amends "Fei Le", it is said that everyone in the world can be happy, that is the future of Paradise, but things like Wuli and Liule are now in Sishang, which is nothing at all. use.

After the middle-aged man with the severed finger finished speaking, Ximen Shu felt as if... he thought he was very different. He was born into an aristocratic family, but he felt ashamed and guilty. different.

But apart from being different, if everyone is like this when I go to Sishang, then my only difference will become the same.

Outside of Sishang, in Yedi, this kind of style is very high. Tell others: I have the world in my heart.Everyone praises it, it is really extraordinary that this nobleman has a heart for all the people in the world.

But if you go to Sishang, tell others, I have all the people in the world in my heart, and I will benefit the world.Everyone may nod their heads and say, what a coincidence, I have it too.

Now, the middle-aged man's words are like a sharp knife, bit by bit peeling off the shell that Ximen Shu thought he thought was different, making Ximen Shu realize for the first time that besides his noble background, he is really ordinary To the extreme.

The words that Duanzhi middle-aged people said were actually ugly, but they pointed directly at the depths of their hearts.

You think that the people of the Mohist family have many stories, and their lives are wonderful. If you are full of food and drink and feel bored, you feel that life is meaningless, so you want to join the Mohist family, in fact, you want to have such a legendary story, but in fact, the life of the Mohist... …is also life, without so many stories.Things like benefiting the world are actually very boring.

You feel that you are very capable, and when you arrive at Sishang, you may be able to take advantage of the wind and let your talents be brought into play. After all, Sishang honors the best and the best, regardless of age.But in fact, your qualifications are very poor. When you come to Sishang, you know that if you want to govern the country, you are afraid that you are not qualified to be the head of a village or a village.

Because of your aristocratic background, you feel that joining the Mohist school will be different, you will stand out from the crowd, with a certain style and superiority.But in fact, when you arrive at Sishang, you really stand out from the crowd. Everything that is different about you here is the most ordinary there.

This is skinning, peeling away the skin hidden in everyone's heart, those things that they are unwilling to face, and those who think they are self-righteous but are not.

The middle-aged man with the broken finger finally asked: "Are you still willing to be such a Mohist? Are you still willing to join this kind of Mohism? Are you willing to do such a boring trip to benefit the world?"

"You may start as soldiers, you may be assigned to the village community to teach characters, you may be sent to workshops for labor, you may be sent to the army to start training, and you may be sent to the extreme south to farm reclamation……"

"There you don't have all the preferential treatment, food, clothing, housing and transportation that you have here. Moreover, when you get there, you also lose the uniqueness that you are proud of here, and you become indifferent..."

"Are you really willing to benefit the world?"

The question directed at the soul made many people bow their heads.

The middle-aged man still had a smile on his face, and said: "Before you decide that you can bear all this, you should be a person who sympathizes with the Mohist here. This way you can be different without having to work. Sigh on life when you are bored, and continue to be a handsome and compassionate son.”

There were many more conversations that day, but those were what Simon Shu remembered, and he forgot many after that, because he was thinking.

A few days later, those young people who used to tell stories about the Mo family with him all chose to remain silent, but he made up his mind.

He thought, it was like a new life.I gave up everything I had now, and started to grow up again. Everyone grew up from a baby, and I only thought that I had lived for more than ten years in vain, and I went to Sishang to start from the crowd.

Then, he learned a lot of things that he didn't learn before, learned to think in another way, and learned to live in another way.

When Simon Leopard asked what happened this year, he didn't choose to answer, but just smiled and said that many things happened.

Then, for the last time, he knelt down in front of his father in the most authentic aristocratic etiquette, and said, "Father, I'm going to Sishang to study."
