The bonfire banquet lasted until night. When Qin Ge returned to the camp drunkenly, Dian Wei and other generals were waiting anxiously. At the same time, an old sergeant with gray hair stood among them. Qin Ge recognized this person as Zhu Jun's

The servant has been taking care of Zhu Jun's food and daily life.

Qin Ge stopped his swaying body and clasped his fists and said, "Old sir, what's the point of coming here?"

The old sergeant said calmly: "General Qin, my master has invited you!"

Mao Jie had come over to help Qin Ge, who was about to fall, and said apologetically: "Please trouble this elder to report to Master Zhu that my lord is very drunk, and he will definitely come to visit him in person tomorrow morning!" However, the old sergeant said:

If he didn't hear Mao Jie's words, he just stared at Qin Ge without saying a word.

Seeing this, Mao Jie quickly sent a sergeant to get the hangover soup, which was boiled with strong vinegar and some Chinese herbal medicines. Mao Jie quickly drank it for Qin Ge, and a feeling of nausea came from his throat and stomach. Qin Ge

He vomited heavily, and soon there was food and wine in his stomach

After vomiting, Qin Ge suddenly woke up a lot, but his mouth was still sore. Mao Jie had already taken a water bag. Qin Ge swallowed two mouthfuls of water and rinsed his mouth. He pointed at Mao Jie and said speechlessly: "Xiao Xian! You kid

What the hell are you pouring into me!"

Mao Jie took a towel and wiped Qin Ge's mouth and said: "My lord, Master Zhu is here to invite you!" Qin Ge saw the old sergeant, took a towel with clean water and washed it briefly. He gradually regained consciousness and followed the old sergeant to Zhu.

Inside Juan's military camp.

The old sergeant took Qin Ge to the main tent of the Chinese army and then retreated. Qin Ge stepped into the main tent and saw that surrounded by soldiers and armor, the table was piled with various ancient bamboo slips and scrolls made of parchment and silk paper.

, and at this time Zhu Jun was under the oil lamp, holding a scroll in one hand and a pen in the other hand, concentrating on writing something on the parchment paper.

Qin Ge saluted Zhu Juan and said, "Junior Qin Ge, please pay homage to the Master!" Zhu Juan was still reading the book attentively, nodded slightly, and began to read and write again.

Qin Ge had no choice but to sit on the table at the bottom, while Zhu Juan continued to do his homework as if there was no one around. For a quarter of an hour, half an hour, and an hour, Zhu Juan was completely immersed in the book. Qin Ge was still drunk and almost fell asleep sitting down.

It’s on.

Qin Ge didn't dare to lose his composure in front of Zhu Juan, so he stood up to keep himself awake, stretched, and picked up a bamboo slip from the side. He saw that it was filled with all kinds of twisted words, and it turned out to be pre-Qin

Qin Ge was speechless and couldn't understand the ancient texts. He didn't even know the words, so he put down the bamboo slips and picked up a silk book. The text in it was understandable, and it turned out to be new annotations to some ancient books from the pre-Qin Dynasty.

Qin Ge flipped through the silk books and sat down. These silk books were all Confucian books on rituals. They included the understanding of rituals by great Confucian scholars in the past dynasties, as well as Zhu Jun's own annotations on rituals. Qin Ge flipped through a few volumes, and all of them were some.

etiquette

Seeing the sacrificial things made him feel dizzy and drowsy. Qin Ge's eyelids became heavier and heavier. Just when he was about to fall asleep, there were footsteps outside the door. It was the old sergeant carrying a large basin of plain noodles and two pictures.

The bowl and chopsticks came in.

The old sergeant served two bowls of plain noodles to Zhu Juan and Qin Ge respectively. The noodles were made very simply, simply mixed with vinegar and salt, and served with a small plate of pickles. Qin Ge drank Mao Jie's sober drink.

Soup, I vomited a lot, and I was hungry at this time. I couldn't help but pick up the plain noodles to eat, but I looked up at Zhu Jun, and saw that Zhu Jun also put down his book at this time.

He picked up the scroll, raised his plain face and said with a smile: "Bo Xi! I was also born in a poor family. My father died when I was young. I followed my mother to work in the fields, so I had a huge appetite and became hungry in the middle of the night. After decades, I have changed.

If you don't have this habit, haha! Don't laugh at me, Boxi!" At this time, Zhu Jun was amiable, and with his full head of white hair, he looked like the grandpa next door.

Qin Ge fell into silence after hearing the words, stood up and bowed to Zhu Jun: "Master, please forgive me for being rude. You are a great scholar of the world, and you were born in poverty. When you were young, you benefited the people's livelihood in Qiongzhou. Why did you suppress the bandits with the Yellow Turbans this time?"

At that time, you were the most ruthless to those people... simply..."

Zhu Jun had already picked up his plain noodles and said with his usual expression: "It's simply inhumane! Confucius said: 'You don't talk when you eat, and you don't talk when you sleep!' Let's eat first. If Boxi doesn't mind the nagging of me, an old man, tonight you and I

How about talking all night?"

After Qin Ge heard this, he sat back in his seat silently. The two of them picked up the plain noodles and began to eat without saying anything. I don't know what condiments were added to the plain noodles, but Qin Ge said it was particularly delicious. Maybe it was Mao Jie's.

The hangover soup was so strong that Qin Ge vomited it all and poured bowl after bowl into his mouth.

Seeing that Qin Ge was eating so vigorously, the old sergeant hurriedly went down and soon brought two more large bowls. Zhu Jun ate two small bowls and then put down his bowls and chopsticks. Qin Ge was a little embarrassed and saw the old sergeant brought two more large bowls.

Just as he was about to refuse, Zhu Jun showed a peaceful smile and said: "If you can eat, you can do it. Every meter and every drop is blood and sweat. No matter how big the world is, there is nothing bigger than eating. Don't be in a hurry, Boxi. Eat slowly!"

The old sergeant put the basin in front of Qin Ge, and Qin Ge ignored the image, picked up the basin and opened it. When Qin Ge picked up the basin and ate it to the bottom, he put the basin down with some unfinished thoughts. The old sergeant came over and said thoughtfully

Asked if he wanted more, Qin Ge quickly waved his hand. The old sergeant packed up the dishes and retreated.

"I didn't expect that Boxi also likes to eat white noodles, haha! When I was a child, my family was poor, my father died young, and my mother worked hard to raise me. The most memory I have when I was a child is hunger! Only during the holidays, my mother would cut down on food and clothing and be able to eat

After eating this bowl of plain noodles, I am now living well.

But delicacies from the mountains and seas never seem to compare to this bowl of plain noodles. Some people laugh at me because I am so poor, but I know that every meter and every millet is a matter of blood and tears. Eating an extra cent is greed, and eating an extra ten cents is cruelty!

"Zhu Jun seemed to be recalling the deliciousness of the plain noodles just now, and said as if he was pointing.

Qin Ge listened quietly to Zhu Juan's words, which seemed to be an answer to his question just now, and also seemed to be a review of his life.

Qin Ge fell into silence after hearing the last sentence, which seemed to have profound meaning. Zhu Juan also sat up straight, regaining the spirit of a teacher in an instant. Even Qin Ge was taken by the momentum and straightened his waist.

.

Zhu Jun pointed to the tall human-headed mountain outside the tent under the moonlight and said, "Does Bo Xi know the origin of this mountain?"

Qin Ge thought for a moment and said: "I have heard people say that this is the ancient battlefield where the Yellow Emperor fought against Chi You. The human head mountain was transformed into the head of Chi You who was defeated and beheaded by the Yellow Emperor.

Xuanyuan Sword suppresses the destiny of heaven and earth and divides the land of mountains, rivers and thirteen dragon veins!"

After hearing Qin Ge's talk about ancient secrets, Zhu Jun nodded with satisfaction, showing a childish look. After listening to Qin Ge's narration, he said: "The battle between Huangdi and Chiyou, later generations only remember that it represented heaven and earth.

just

The battle between good and evil during the Yellow Emperor's crusade against the Demon King Chi You, but they didn't know that it was a holy war, a holy war that established our Chinese civilization!" Qin Ge listened quietly to Zhu Jun's statement without saying a word, and Zhu Juan continued.

:

"In fact, the Yellow Emperor's battle with Chi You was the continuation and final chapter of the ancient war between the lich and the witches! The human race at that time was divided into two major groups. One group was humans who respected the demon clan, with the Yellow Emperor as their leader, and the other group was humans who respected the witch clan.

he

They are led by Emperor Yan, and Chi You is the eldest grandson of Emperor Yan; this war can be traced back to the era of Emperor Fuxi at the earliest. After the Lich War, the Witch Clan and the Monster Clan declined rapidly. After the war, the strong men of both tribes were almost completely destroyed.

once

The human race enslaved by them gradually began to step onto the stage of history. Although humans still worshiped the lich and the witch clan, they lost the monopoly of various resources in the world by the giants of the witch clan and the demon clan. The power of the human race gradually grew and began to gradually dominate this world.

!However, the hatred between the two Lich tribes is driving the remaining Witch tribe and Monster tribe to fight bloody battles, and the two major human tribes affiliated with the Lich tribe are constantly having frictions and fierce battles because of their beliefs and races! Looting each other

The treasures and women of the tribe were sacrificed to the gods with the heads of the other tribes. The bloody battles continued. I heard that in ancient times, there would be a shocking war every five hundred years. Corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed. Every time the human race fought,

The number will be reduced by 90%, and such a tragic era lasted for tens of thousands of years!" Qin Ge's eyes widened when he heard this. He did not expect that Chinese civilization would have such a cruel, bloody and barbaric history. It was simply appalling.

After Zhu Jun said this, he seemed to be immersed in that period of history. The heaviness of that history, the blood and tears, could even hear the miserable howls of countless dead souls, which made people breathless.

Zhu Jun was silent for a long time and continued: "Perhaps the heaven pities all living beings, or perhaps it is after countless blood and tears, and the reflection of the two tribes, that two saints were born in that vast wilderness. They belong to two tribes, one is Huangdi and the other

It’s Emperor Yan

, they promoted the integration and connection of the two tribes, established an alliance of tribal leaders, and the human tribe completely overthrew the gods represented by the witch tribe and the demon tribe. The leader of the tribe was called the human emperor, which means the lord of heaven and earth, and the sage is

abdication system

Degree! Since then, China has gone through the darkest moment and ushered in the dawn! As for the subsequent battle between Yanhuang and Chiyou, it was the counterattack of the restoration forces. The Wu Clan and the Monster Clan united their believers to launch a war against the new alliance. Finally,

Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang join forces

Defeated the restoration forces and stabilized the Chinese alliance. From then on, the Yan and Huang tribes merged into one, and the current Chinese civilization emerged!" Unexpectedly, the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You was so secretive, Qin Ge began to think about what Zhu Jun had told him.

the reason for this history.

Seeing Qin Ge lost in thought, Zhu Juan did not interrupt, but picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of tea. Seeing Qin Ge's attention turned to him again, he said: "Shan Ze Feng Mu, sheep, deer, cattle and rabbits,

Tigers, leopards, jackals, hunt and eat! This is the nature of the weak and the strong. In order to compete for water and grass to reproduce, even sheep

Mild animals such as deer, cows, and rabbits will fight with each other, not to mention tigers, leopards, and wolves. This is the nature of animals, and it is also the nature of humans! In the beginning of man, his nature is evil, and this is what we call this nature, and in the beginning of man,

, nature is inherently good, which also means that human nature can be changed, which is what distinguishes humans from animals! In ancient times,

Human beings, like beasts, have no humanity and fight each other. Only in the Yan and Huang eras can people be called human beings. Because the Yan and Huang Dynasties established the order of great harmony, human animal nature began to be restrained, and divinity began to be cultivated, and the transformation from animal nature to divinity

The way is etiquette! The relationship between father and son, etiquette means respect; husband and wife

Gang Chang, using etiquette means love; when neighbors get along, using etiquette means becoming close; sacrificing to God, using etiquette means fearing the heart! Etiquette, music, shooting, imperialism, calligraphy, mathematics, etiquette are the foundation of Confucianism, and Confucianists in the Yan and Huang Dynasties,

It is the collective name for those who maintain this order, Confucianism and Taoism are the ways of order in heaven, and etiquette is the externalization of order!"

Zhu Jun's words exploded in Qin Ge's ears like thunder. For a moment, he was like a enlightenment. A certain perspective in his heart seemed to be opened. Some confusion that had previously plagued his heart seemed to have broken away from some chains at this moment. And for

Confucianism, Taoism and Confucianism seem to have a new understanding.

"Desire and wisdom, good and evil, righteousness and evil, in the final analysis are the mutual inclination of human animality and divinity. You foreigners often talk about freedom! However, what is freedom? It is like the release of animal nature like wild beasts, the weak and the strong.

The strong man conquers

Subdue the weak and feed on their flesh and blood! Or liberate divinity, save all sentient beings, love the world, and be a perfect sage?" Zhu Jun's voice suddenly rose, his expression became a little solemn, and he stared straight at Qin Ge.

Struggling at the grassroots level and bathing in the flames of war, Qin Ge is no longer the ignorant young man with only passion. He has spent countless silent nights thinking about the present, the past, and the future. However, with his experience, everything has grown.

Everything seemed to become blurry, and his heart was filled with confusion. Only the constant fighting made him stop and think. Only when he was tired of running for life could he temporarily forget the emptiness and confusion in his heart.

As for the order that Zhu Jun is talking about now, one is the extreme freedom to pursue individual rights, which will constantly stimulate people's selfish desires, just like China in ancient times turned the world into an endless hell because of race, belief, resources, and hatred.

The strong are always strong, the weak can only be like cattle and sheep

In this way, they become their salary! And to establish a so-called world of saints where everyone is a saint is simply a delusion. Human beings are born with bad instincts to be selfish, and it is natural to pursue fame and fortune. China has only had one or two such people in thousands of years.

Saints, if it is said that everyone can become a saint, it is simply ridiculous!
