27, complex wall
Seeing the bamboo slips and silk books scattered on the ground, Zhou Liang moved his heart, left his two subordinates by the door, raised his legs and walked towards the nearest scattered bamboo book. He bent down to pick up the bamboo book, and opened it. The beginning was Gongye's long story in "The Analects of Confucius":
Zi said to Gongye Chang: "It's a wife. Even if it's in a siege, it's not his crime." He said to his son and his wife.
Zhou Liang grinned, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face. Although he was a minor official in his pen, he had become a disciple and studied at a young age. He was quick to learn from the Confucian scriptures and knew a little about the allusion of "Confucius's marriage to a daughter".
It is said that this disciple of Confucius, Gongyechang, could understand bird songs. Because he used bird songs to help an old woman find her son's body, he was framed as the murderer and was imprisoned. However, Confucius knew his character and pity him for being wronged and wronged, so he married his daughter to Gongyechang.
Regarding Gongye’s long explanation of bird singing, the previous scholars often avoided speaking without reason. Confucian classics also adhered to Confucius’ principle of “Zi’s not speaking: strange, powerful, disorderly, and god”, and did not talk about these strange things.
However, the current scriptures are complicated and the interpretation of meanings and principles is one of their own. Ordinary people often learn from the general knowledge, but they are hard to become a classic. Just like in the matter of "Confucius marrying a daughter", some people specifically associate it with "Confucius marrying a brother and a daughter". They are very generous and believe that Gongye Chang was punished, but Nan Rong was promising in the world and could protect himself in troubled times. Compared with Gongye Chang and Nan Rong, Nan Rong was obviously better than Gongye Chang. Confucius married his daughter to Gongye Chang and married his brother's daughter to Nan Rong in order to avoid suspicion.
Zhou Liang can be said to be sneering at this far-fetched, cumbersome and tasteless interpretation of the principles. In his opinion, Confucius married his daughter to Gongye Chang and his brother's daughter to Nan Rong. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is an ordinary thing. Confucius may be considering the matching of talent and appearance or age, but in the mouths of these great scholars and doctors, this ordinary thing has become an allusion for sages to restrain themselves and to deliberately avoid suspicion.
The Confucius' knowledge mentioned in these people is as hypocritical as they themselves, sensational and famous as they gain. It is better not to learn!
Just as Zhou Liang was thinking about it and was about to throw the bamboo book aside, a slight baby cry suddenly sounded.
"Who is here?"
Zhou Liang's short and fat body instantly became flexible, like a frightened rabbit, jumped behind the two men who were guarding outside.
He glanced vigilantly at the inner room of the gold and silver all over the ground and ink stained the couch. He listened carefully with his ears, but the sound of the baby that had just scared him stopped abruptly. He walked out of the room and asked his two subordinates:
"Have you heard the crying of a child just now?"
“·······”
Faced with Zhou Liang's strange inquiry, Zhou Liang's two subordinates looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion. When they looked at Zhou Liang's strange expression, their scalp immediately became numb. Thinking of the old, young, women and children who had just crossed the lobby, they suddenly felt a cold wind gushing and their bodies were cold. They didn't seem to hear anything just now, but seeing Zhou Liang's reaction, could it be that the women and children who died tragically turned into evil spirits to take revenge on themselves?
Ghosts and gods worshipped them since ancient times. The Yin people respected the gods and led the people to serve the gods, first ghosts and then politely. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the sayings of gods and immortals have been prevalent. Qin emperors and Han dynasties, seeking immortals and asking for the way, and they enjoyed it. At present, the witch wind was even more smooth, and the ghost path became more and more fierce. Although there was no King of Yama, the eighteen levels of hell, and the retribution of reincarnation, the King of Taishan Palace and the soul returning to the Hayao River is believed by the public nowadays.
Although Zhou Liang's two subordinates were soldiers from Dongying sent by Li Ru, they had seen blood in their hands, and were not brave people. However, people in Liangzhou worshipped witches and divinations, and were engaged in ghosts and gods. It was late at night, and there were so many people that they were tired and unstable. When they were shocked, they became silent and could not speak out.
Seeing these two men who were already showing timidity, Zhou Liang cursed at the trash secretly. He had to shake his sleeves and silently recite "Zi Wushu: strange, power, chaos, god". His ankles kept trembling, but he tried to calm himself down and walked back into the inner room.
Zhou Liang, who was standing in the inner room again, breathed a deep breath. He tightened the bamboo book in his hand. Although he had a hard life, he was keen on money and sex, and was angry at the world and was jealous of the world and was disgusted with the famous scholars and scholars who were above the top. But it has to be said that for the general leader, some Confucian classics were still deeply engraved into his bones.
Confucianism respects ghosts and gods and distances them from them, advocating people-oriented, "If you don't know life, how can you know death? If you don't know human affairs, how can you know ghosts and things." Zhou Liang also believed this deeply. Therefore, although he felt a little weak inside, it was much better than his subordinates who believed in ghosts and gods. After a sudden shock, he calmed his mind and looked at this strange inner room again.
Zhou Liang had a gloomy face, looking back while thinking, and became more and more sure that he had heard nothing wrong just now. What sounded from the inner room was the crying of a baby. He searched around, and suddenly a flash of light in his eyes turned his eyes to a wall in the inner room.
The original gold-painted woodcut screen in the inner room was broken into two pieces and was moved away artificially, one piece fell on the floor in front of the wall, and the other piece blocked in front of the wall, covering this wall intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhou Liang's eyes flashed. He drew his sword in his hand, waved his hand to signal the two subordinates outside the door to come in, and gently directed them to spread the two broken screens, and then looked closer and carefully looked at the wall. The more he looked, the more unusual he felt, he held the hilt of the sword in his right hand and knocked on the wall a few times.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong" sounded in the hollow of the wall. Zhou Liang took a few steps in an instant and pointed the sword edge at the wall again. A yellow face was covered with gloomy at this moment. He shouted:
"This is a duplex wall, and there is Yuzhu hidden in the wall. You can go and get the iron pestle and break the wall!"
After saying that, Zhou Liang deliberately made another move, making a loud shout, and he shouted viciously:
"Who is hidden in the wall? If I don't come out, I will make people break the wall!"
After shouting, the wall still didn't move. Zhou Liang snorted coldly, tense his face, and waved his hand to let his subordinates break through the wall to catch people. For a moment, the two subordinates could not find tools such as iron pestles. They could only raise a corner of the broken screen, exert force together, and hit the wall.
"Don't break the wall, we are willing to surrender!"
After a few hits, although he made a sound and failed to break the wall, the woman's pleading finally sounded from the wall. Although the sound was small, Zhou Liang, who listened with his ears sideways, could still hear the tremor in the other party's tone. He sneered, waved his hand and let his subordinates retreat, held his sword in his hand, and shouted loudly:
Chapter completed!
