But lakes are different.

He can breathe and survive in water, but human beings can't. Even by boat, his mobility will be greatly restricted, which is equivalent to creating an excellent geographical condition for himself.

"If I had been stuck in this way when I was chased by those people more than 100 years ago, I wouldn't have been forced to Nirvana at all." Ling Ye smiled.

I don't plan to use it directly. Although there are three chances, Ling Ye still decides to use it when needed in the future. After all, he may get other attribute affinity in the future, and the celestial phenomena and terrain that make him afraid may not be a big deal. up.

"The harvest of this simulation is really great, and I have gained a lot of benefits. After the spirit gathering is over, maybe I can go to other places to see, such as going to the south."

The place where Ling Ye is located is the north, where there are many vassal states, but few in the south. Basically, there are only three states: Chu, Wu, and Yue. Maybe Cai and Chen can also be counted, but these two states are not very strong. , worse than Weiguo.

So the south is theoretically more stable than the north.

Lingye has already nirvana, but he still needs to accumulate energy again to prepare for the next nirvana, during which time he can take a good tour of the world.

With anticipation for the future, Ling Ye jumped into the water and entered the bottom of the river.

In a short while, there was a magical scene on the river surface where the rays of light sprinkled from the sky...

Chapter 56

A country cannot live without a king.

This sentence is the truth that everyone in the Central Plains agrees with.

In the princes' meeting convened by Jin Dinggong, the palace collapsed due to the Lingye earthquake. After the bodies of the dead princes were sent back to the country, bloody storms immediately broke out in the corresponding state power.

Those who are capable are all vying for the position of the king, trying to sit on the throne of power over ten thousand people.

Naturally, Jin is like this.

Jin Dinggong, as the initiator of the princes' alliance, was sadly smashed in the head, and there was no cure. Don't mention how aggrieved and remorseful he was before he died, but for other power holders in Jin, especially the candidates for the Duke Speaking of Jin Dinggong's death, they were very excited.

Since ancient times, the struggle for kingship has been full of blood and rain.

In just five days, there were seven assassinations and two poisonings in the capital of Jin.

Jin Dinggong originally had four sons and three daughters.

The eldest son was killed by an unknown assassin, but the murderer was never found.

The second son was poisoned to death, but the murderer was found out. He was one of Jin Dinggong's three daughters.

The third son was murdered by the fourth son, just when he thought all the dust had settled, the fourth son was also killed by Jin Dinggong's younger brother. The matter was exposed, righteousness killed relatives, in short, a bunch of high-sounding words were made, and the position of the new Duke of Jin was thus confirmed.

The title of the Duke of Jin was Duke Ai of Jin.

The first thing Jin Aigong did when he came to power was to replace a group of ministers who were trusted by Dinggong in the past. There were various reasons. Of course, some ministers had a very strong family background. Even Jin Aigong could not move casually. Several hereditary families of the Six Ministers, these families have been rooted in the Jin Dynasty for generations, and are the most prominent and influential families.

Jin Ai bribed a few of them with public interests and asked them to stand on his side.

Then I persuaded a few with promises so that they would not fight against me.

In the end, if the bribe fails, well, ignore it, anyway, the general situation has been controlled, and it will not have much impact on him.

.........

In the state of Jin, an official and minister began to go to court, and the place was in a side hall.

The original owner's palace collapsed too badly, and it would take at least half a year to recover.

Duke Ai of Jin sat on the position he had longed for, and was very happy in his heart, but his expression was heavy and mournful.

"My dear friends, my elder brother, who was lonely in the previous battle, called a meeting of princes to appreciate the legendary stone deer. It was originally a grand event, which could benefit our country of Jin. Who knows that there will be unexpected events, and my elder brother and other princes will suffer... …”

Duke Ai of Jin paused in his speech, and he showed his acting skills very sadly, and forced a few tears out of his eyes.

A group of ministers standing on the side of Duke Ai of Jin saw this, and they were very discerning and said nonsense about mourning Duke Ai, taking care of their health and so on.

After finishing some scenes, Duke Ai of Jin started to talk about business: "This matter has a great impact on our Jin country, and it is also the biggest shame of our Jin country in the past hundred years. Since I have inherited the position of Duke of Jin, I must Clean up this shame for Jin, otherwise I will be sorry for the ancestors of Jin."

"Gu has already sent people to contact Qi, Qin, Chen, Lu, and Cai, intending to join forces to capture the white deer and sacrifice its blood to wash away the shame of Jin."

Jin Ai said loudly with righteous words, but his decision was quickly opposed by the Zhao family and the Wei family among the six ministers.

"Don't do it, Duke Ai. That white deer is a beast of heaven and earth. Killing it is unlucky, and it will bring disaster to our country of Jin."

"Please Ai Gong think twice, although my Jin country has suffered such a catastrophe, in the final analysis, Ding Gong did not listen to our persuasion and insisted on going his own way. He insisted on summoning the princes with a white deer stone carving. something went wrong"

Duke Ai of Jin looked at the two people who stood up against him, and his eyes were displeased.

These two ministers were the representatives of the two Liuqing clans that he failed to bribe. Unexpectedly, they were so ignorant of flattery that they dared to oppose the first major event he announced after he succeeded to the throne.

"Wei Qing, you said Gu's decision was wrong. It's ridiculous. Brother Gu died because of that white deer, and he was alone as his younger brother. Shouldn't he avenge his elder brother? If he didn't do it, it would be the same as nothing. What's the difference between the cowards?" Duke Ai of Jin reprimanded, while looking down at several ministers, gesturing for their support.

Representatives of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family of the Six Qings immediately stood up.

"What Duke Ai said is justified. The hatred of blood relatives is as high as the sky. What's more, Duke Ai is the Duke of Jin, so he should set an example. Otherwise, if it spreads, people in the world will think of us as Jin."

"That's right, and this matter is not limited to our Jin country. Qi, Qin, Chen, Lu, and Cai all have their hatred. What Bailu did, but if we do nothing, it is very likely that the princes of other countries will find an excuse to join forces to attack our Jin country, and that will be the real disaster."

Zhao Qing was upset when he heard that, and said bluntly: "If it wasn't for those princes coveting the deer, how could something happen. If you don't learn from the lesson, vent your hatred wantonly and start a war, this is definitely not what a gentleman does."

"What a gentleman does..." Fan Qing looked at Zhao Qing and Wei Qing, who were about the same status as him, with a sneer.

"You two, I remember that when I was young, I worshiped under the disciple of Confucius. I have learned a lot of the principles in his mouth, but don't forget that the ancestor of Confucius was originally born in the state of Jin, and he enjoyed my life. In the end, Jin State’s salary did not consider for our Jin State. Instead, it deviated from our Jin State and wanted to set up a private school. It would be fine if it was only established in our country. Betrayal to my Jin country is for disloyalty"

"You two are the descendants of disloyal people, so what you say naturally contains evil intentions. I'm afraid that the so-called disaster will happen because Duke Ai listened to your words."

Zhao Qing and Wei Qing were all trembling with anger when they heard the words, and their eyebrows were raised.

They respected Confucius, and naturally they also respected Confucius' ancestors, how could they bear such words.

"You...you fart"

"Fan Jie, you bastard dare to insult the ancestors of the teacher, I will fight with you"

The two rushed forward with their sleeves rolled up, and started a civil-official-military fight, and the scene became lively in an instant...

Chapter 57 Mo Di

Duke Ai of Jin ordered Zhao Qing and Wei Qing to expel Zhao Qing and Wei Qing's fighting activities on the grounds of disturbing the court, and deducted this month's salary.

As representatives of the two major clans of the Six Ministers of the Jin Kingdom, the two of them had lost face this time, but the two of them didn't care about it. Instead, they regretted that the task assigned to them by the teacher had not been completed.

In a certain restaurant in the capital of the state of Jin, the two lost their sorrows with a drink.

"Brother Zhao, we are really useless. The teacher's task was not completed, and he was kicked out of the court. It will definitely spread throughout the capital tomorrow."

"Our things are just small things"

Zhao Qing drank a glass of wine in displeasure, and pressed the glass against the table with force.

"The people in the palace I bought sent me news that Ai Gong betrayed some of our Jin country's interests in exchange for the cooperation of various countries. It seems that he is helping Ding Gong to avenge and wash away his shame, but in fact it is for his own sake." Interest, I bet that the eldest son we supported before was probably assassinated by someone sent by him, and his shadow may be involved in other sons' affairs."

Wei Qing sighed and said: "Power struggles have been dirty since ancient times. It is useless to say these things now, and it will only increase troubles. All in all, what the teacher worried about is likely to happen. I don't know how it will end this time."

.........

Like Jin, other countries whose dukes died, after bloody power struggles, new dukes succeeded to the throne.

For various reasons, the new dukes, including those who were not dead in the alliance, jointly announced to the world that they wanted to capture the white deer.

Just like more than 100 years ago, countries have issued high rewards to Lingye.

But this time it will be more ruthless.

It's not that you can get the reward if you catch it and bring it back, but you can get the reward as long as you provide Lingye's trace and confirm it. The amount is very objective, enough for ordinary people to live in peace for a lifetime.

Simply put, as long as you have legs, eyes, and a little luck, you can live a rich life.

How can ordinary people endure such a temptation?

Not to mention martial arts practitioners, even some ordinary people couldn't stand it and joined the human flesh search army looking for Lingye, and they really found the trace very quickly.

A certain woodcutter farmer accidentally came to the woods that Lingye used his ability to make an earthquake, and found a lot of Lingye's footprints here. After bringing the news back, he got very rich rewards.

The intelligence personnel of the princes and countries got this news, especially the direction of Ling Ye's footprints. After analysis, they concluded that this white deer might want to go south.

.........

In a secluded mountain forest, Yao Xiang came here with a letter from Confucius.

First, he looked at the environment here, and then at the exquisite wooden house in front of him. Yao Xiang nodded, thinking that the environment and layout here are very good, and he can see that he is a person with taste, and he is qualified as a person who can be appreciated by the teacher up.

Yao Xiang first called out in the yard, and walked in after seeing no one answered.

"It's not in accordance with etiquette to trespass without the master's consent, but the task assigned to me by the teacher is more urgent, forget it, let's do it urgently."

Yao Xiang walked into the room and saw a lot of carpentry tools.

There are a few cases, cabinets, screen frames, back baskets, wooden barrels, each of which is very well made, and some of them are carved with beautiful patterns.

Besides, some small wooden objects caught her attention.

These are actually toys made of wood.

For example, rattle drums, wooden figurines, wooden horses, and a very cute wooden dog whose limbs, head and tail can turn. Yao Xiang was very excited to see them, and couldn't help picking them up and playing with them.

When she was a child, she had seen the children of the rich children playing with these things, and she was envious of them. Afterwards, the country was shattered by the war, and she became an orphan until she was adopted by Confucius.

After so many years, Yao Xiang never expected to see these toys that she longed for when she was a child, especially some toys that she had never seen before.

"What is this square, and why are there so many neat small patterns engraved on it, hey, it can also rotate partially, which seems very interesting"

Yao Xiang was so engrossed in playing, she didn't realize that there was a man in black standing outside the door, looking at her with a smile.

"This cube is amazing, it can turn so many times, how did it make it, hey, wait a minute, how did I turn it just now, no, that's not the case, oops, the pattern can't be restored"

5 minutes later...

"Ahhhhh, why is this thing so weird? The patterns are all messed up. Damn it, I can't fix such a small thing. The teacher will definitely laugh at me when he finds out. No, I must restore it."

"Ahem, it's very difficult for ordinary people to restore this little gadget after it's messed up. You'd better put it down."

The voice behind Yao Xiang froze.

Oops, I was so engrossed in playing that I didn't pay attention to my surroundings.

Yao Xiang turned around stiffly, and the man behind her was exactly the person she was looking for on this trip.

Ranger Mo Di.

Mo Di looked at the embarrassed Yao Xiang with a funny face, pointed at the wooden toys he made, and said with a smile: "You are Mr. Kong Qiu's maid Yao Xiang, I met you when I visited last time, why, you like it very much These toys I made, do you want me to give you a few, these are actually very popular with some children."

"No, no need, me, I just took a look out of curiosity." Yao Xiang blushed, especially when she heard that children liked it very much, it made her very embarrassed

"Yao Xiang, you are already old, you are not a child anymore, as a teacher's student, you should be more mature." Yao Xiang kept saying to herself in her heart, quickly calming down her flustered heart.

"Mr. Mo Di, Yao Xiang interrupted me, uh, I didn't mess with this thing on purpose, I'll return it to you"

Yao Xiang blushed and handed the small piece of wood that gave her a splitting headache to Mo Di.

Mo Di looked at Yao Xiang with a smile, holding the Rubik's Cube in one hand, and the next second his fingers moved quickly, and finally the Rubik's Cube quickly recovered under Yao Xiang's dumbfounded eyes.

"How...how is it possible, how did you do it?" Yao Xiang couldn't help but exclaimed, she just couldn't recover after a lot of effort, how could someone else just do it with one hand.

Is she that stupid.

Looking at Yao Xiang who was a bit shocked, Mo Di smiled and said, "This little thing is called a Rubik's Cube, and it is the most technologically advanced among the wooden utensils I have made so far. Ms. Yao Xiang, is this Rubik's Cube very interesting?"

"It's very interesting, but it's also a headache," Yao Xiang muttered.

"Hahahaha, many people have said this, but the knowledge contained in this thing is not small, I want to use it to create my own sect, called Mohism"

Chapter 58 Something Very Important to Ling Ye

"Sect, Mohism"

Listening to Mo Di's words in front of her, Yao Xiang was surprised.

In this era, sects and gangs are two completely different organizations.

The latter is a violent organization composed of simple martial arts practitioners, which is equivalent to those sects in Lingye's previous martial arts that specialize in teaching people to practice martial arts. Whichever sect has high martial arts skills has a high status in the world, and they can charge protection fees wherever they are , is a kind of person who makes a living by fighting in groups with violence.

But this school of this era is not that school.
