Chapter 110 Fame
In June of the lunar month, half of the year is about to end. By the end of this month, a grand mid-year sacrifice will be held. Not only will there be a lively social temple meeting among the people, but the royal family of Qi will also hold a ceremony to invite envoys from all countries to attend. At that time, the princesses and clan girls in the palace will also dance to the Mingtang to assist in the sacrifice.
So at this time, it is the busiest time for aristocratic girls. The princesses have female teachers to ask for their fate, and the sect girls have to enter the palace to practice music and dance.
On this day, in the palace of the Qi Palace in Linzi, the eldest princess was dancing with the princesses in the hands of music. Tian Jia and others knelt on the side, playing beats, singing with "Xiao Ya" and "Qi Feng".
When the female master was there, all the girls sat upright. After the strict female master left, the group of girls showed their true nature and chattered. Except for the eldest princess who was proud of her identity, everyone else hugged Tian Jia and asked about Chang'an Jun in a lingering way...
Since the first show of his fortune in the hunting of Yingqiu Mountain, the Zhao proton has become a sensational figure in Linzi City. The ice he made in the dog days is quite popular with the princesses' sect's daughters, so he naturally paid more attention to him.
Tian Jia often wears men's clothing to meet with Chang'an Jun. At this moment, the girls came to ask her, and suddenly felt guilty and said repeatedly: "Although I am outside the palace, I don't know everything."
"Isn't Chang'an Jun a neighbor of Anping Jun's mansion? It is said that he has a close relationship with your Hu Zi. My sister has never heard Hu Zi talk about his deeds?"
After saying this, Ruotian Jia still refused to know it, but instead seemed guilty and had to nod: "This is a little heard."
The third princess Tian Rui has always been innocent and honest, and said directly: "Sister, can Chang'an Jun really call the clouds and rain?"
It was funny when Tian Jia talked about this. She knew that Chang'an Jun explained the rainfall process at Jixia Academy in order to break the superstition of some Jixia's gentlemen regarding rainfall as a miracle. After the demonstration, the source of the school was cleared, but the intellectual elites in this world were a minority. After this incident was passed on outside the school, it was passed down by word of mouth, and the plot changed. People all rumored that Chang'an Jun had really rained in the end, and it has been gone all the time. Some people even called him "Zhao Yushi" and secretly set up an altar to sacrifice...
In today's world, in addition to the official sacrificial sacrifices, there are many folk temples. In addition to Hebo and Shangui, celebrities who have lived in the local area are often given various divine powers.
For example, Zou Yan, his deeds in Yan State were so amazing that the Yan people were circulated. They said that Zou Yan had been to Yuyang County under the order of King Zhao of Yan. Seeing that February was still winter, the cold was too strong, the grass and trees were not long, and the people's lives were very hard. Zou Yan climbed a small hill not far south of the county city, blew up a stern tube, playing the song of spring, and blew it for three days and three nights. After he blew the stern tube, the hill was filled with warm wind, the sun was shining, the ice and snow were gone, the leaves were green, and the flowers bloomed. As the entire Yuyang land became warm, the grains were harvested...
Zou Yan was deified by the locals. Now Chang'an Jun's deeds have become true, and they are believed by the people of Linzi and worshipped. Although he has repeatedly clarified, the rumors have become more and more outrageous. The reputation of "Zhao Yushi" is a foregone conclusion.
At this moment, Tian Jia heard a new version in the Palace of King Qi.
A clan girl whispered: "I heard that the ancestor of Zhao's family was Fei Lian, who served King Zhou because of his good walking. King Wu of Zhou defeated King Zhou, Fei Lian committed suicide for his country. Emperor Tian was moved by his loyalty and buried him with a sarcophagus and made him a wind god. From then on, Fei Lian had a deer body and a bird's head, controlling the wind direction of the east, west, south, and north... "
"It turns out that Chang'an Jun is the descendant of Feng Bo, so it's not surprising that he is the Rain Master. I wonder if he can turn into a red dragon like Chi Songzi..."
The rumors became more and more nonsense, and Tian Jia couldn't listen. This might be the "three people became tigers, and Zengzi killed people". No matter what the facts were, people always won the trust of exaggerated statements. She had to stand up and clarify for Chang'an Jun and talked about what happened in the academy that day.
"I see……"
After learning that Chang'an Jun was also a mortal, the princesses could not hide their disappointment. However, the curious third princess Tian Rui refused to give in and said, "Since Chang'an Jun has no magic power and no skills, what's wrong with him being able to make heavy objects and light objects land at the same time?"
That incident had a greater impact than "Ji Descending Rain", which almost alarmed half of Linzi City to watch. Unfortunately, the rules in the palace were very strict, and the princesses's sect only heard of it. At this moment, when Tian Rui mentioned it, he felt itchy and wanted to witness the whole process of Tian Jia telling them.
Tian Jia smiled helplessly: "The matter has to start three days ago. That day, Chang'an Jun completed an experiment with the Mo family on Jimen..."
As he said this, Tian Jia thought of the private secret words between Chang'an Jun and her.
...
"Does Mozi really believe in ghosts and gods?"
A few days ago, the storm of the rain had not yet completely subsided. Tian Jia met with Chang'an Jun again in the pavilion between the two families. Mingyue suddenly asked her such a question.
Tian Jia gave him a blank look at him at that time: "Young Master asked me for the recitation of the Ming Ghost" chapter for several days. Don't you know Mo Zi's thoughts?"
"Otherwise." Mingyue said: "I have also read the Confucian classic "The Analects of Confucius" and can see that when Confucius asked Duke Zhou, he believed in Duke Zhou devoutly. But when I read "Ming Gui", I felt that although Mozi always called ghosts and gods, it is hard to say whether he believed in ghosts and gods with all his heart."
Tian Jia frowned: "What does this mean?"
"Mozi understands ghosts and is not life, and there are many contradictions. If he believes in ghosts and gods, he will not be like this... I have a guess. Perhaps Mozi just wants to use ghosts and gods to control righteousness. He does not offer ghosts and gods themselves, but the ability of rewards and punishments of ghosts and gods to make the world respectful. He uses ghosts and gods as the skin, but in fact, Mozi spent more thoughts on telling about the common love and not attacking, the world is still the same, and the study of things..."
Investigation is the bright moon to study the definition of material changes and nature. Since he became famous in Jixia, the technique of investigating things has become a sought-after new study. Many young scholars from all kinds of schools have become very interested in this. However, now only the three states of material and rainfall are naturally said to be the only seedlings, and the blame is to be expanded.
Of course Mingyue was not satisfied with this. His heart was so big that he wanted to include all the mechanics and optical theories under the name of Mohist school into the category of investigating things.
In other words, he had not been in Qi for a few months, and he only planned to make a fuss in Jixia, gain a reputation, spread some later theories and left, and did not want to devote his back half to academics. Since this is the case, he didn't have to cherish it himself, so he simply fooled the Mo family and helped him improve those theories. It also saved them from making things difficult for them to carry the ghosts and gods all day long, but forgetting the truly precious things in the "Mo Jing".
With the idea of dividing the enemy, Mingyue unceremoniously put a high hat on the Mo family who had been hostile to him.
