Chapter 167 Playing a Game
"That's right, even if you enter the fourth realm, what can you do? He dares to abandon the Taoist seed without using it. He is not only a waste, but also a fool!"
"I really don't understand what kind of virtue he can do, how could he win Xun Sheng's favor!"
"Let's wait and see, it won't take long to suffer enough!"
...
Several apprentices were talking nonsense, all gloating about Yang Zheng's abandoned Taoist seed, and at the same time, they were full of envy, jealousy and hatred for his role as a guest.
They respected Yang Zheng in person because they were afraid of Yang Zheng's identity. They wanted to kick him hard and trample him under their feet, so that they could regain their psychological balance.
Yang Zheng was walking on the road, and with his powerful divine consciousness, he heard the discussions and insults from everyone, but did not have much emotion. If his emotions become irritable because of someone else's words and he was successfully disturbed by the other party, it can only prove that his own mentality is weak.
He and Li Si came to the back mountain.
In front of the hut, Zhang Cang squatted beside the fire, holding a large skewer of fish, grilling it on the fire. The rich aroma of fish meat spreads in the yard, making people mouth-watering.
On the first day he joined the master, Xunzi had to taste the sweetness. In the past, the old man was too lazy to clean up and almost didn't eat breakfast. At most, he made some porridge to fill his stomach. But now, the food has improved significantly, and he has directly upgraded from porridge to grilled fish.
Seeing Yang Zheng walking into the yard, Zhang Cang hurriedly got up, made a ban gesture, and pointed to one side secretly.
At the door of the side house, Wen Qing and Xiao Bai knelt on the cushion, facing the closed door, with their backs facing them, without moving at all.
Yang Zheng walked forward and asked Zhang Cang in a low voice, "Is this a punishment to kneel?"
Zhang Cang nodded and stared at Qingbai and the others, as if they were thieves, afraid that they would hear it, so he secretly sent a message with his divine thoughts, "After you left yesterday, the teacher called the two senior brothers back, and was furious and ordered them to kneel there and think about their mistakes. They would not get up without his permission."
Yang Zheng guessed that it was definitely the case, and thought to himself that he was very strict and came back only one night. Otherwise, with Xunzi's idea, he would have to punish them to kneel down until he came to resolve the situation.
He coughed dryly, as if he wanted Qingbai and the others to hear it, and said suddenly: "Senior, are you in the main hall? Have you gotten up?"
Zhang Cang replied: "I got up long ago. I came out to urge me just now, why did I bake so slowly!"
Yang Zheng was so amused that he punished the two gentlemen to kneel down and not say anything, but also made them hungry. He smelled the smell of grilled fish, and Xunzi had many bad ideas.
He walked to the door of the main hall and reported: "Yang Zheng came to pay a visit."
"Come in!"
He pushed open the door and saw Xunzi sitting at the table, holding a roasted fat fish and gnawing hard, his mouth and hands full of grease. The tabletop was spitted with fish bones and fish bones, piled up into a hill, and I don’t know how many of them were eaten.
Xunzi pointed to the opposite side, signaled Yang Zheng to sit down, and then continued to eat fish.
After a while, after eating, he burped and said happily: "I thought you hurried back last night because you were thinking about your little wife who had not passed the door and couldn't leave the door within three or five days. You still have a conscience, you will be back so soon."
Yang Zheng smiled embarrassedly and said, "After you are a saint, you can't pay attention to some majesty?" Doesn't Confucianism attaches great importance to etiquette and demeanor the most?"
Xunzi wiped his mouth and glanced at the wooden box that Li Si was holding. The joy became stronger, "It seems that you are here to solve my problems."
Yang Zheng nodded and said, "Besides this, I have something else to ask for advice from seniors."
"Tell me. As long as you can help me solve the problem, you can do anything you want."
Xunzi thought that Yang Zheng was negotiating conditions.
Upon hearing this, Yang Zheng hurriedly explained: "Senior has misunderstood. I just asked for information casually, it has nothing to do with the affairs of the two gentlemen."
Reconciling the conflict between Qingbai and Xunzi is a big deal. If the saint owe a favor to a great man, Yang Zheng is certainly willing to use it to exchange for small news. He also wants to ask Xunzi to help do great things in the future.
"I just want to know, who is in the hands of the Burning Heaven Seal?"
"Finding the Sky Seal?" Xunzi was stunned at first, a little confused, and then remembered it for a moment, and replied: "This is an old object from many years ago. If you don't say it, I'm almost forgotten it. Why are you suddenly interested in it?"
Duke Huan of Qi died more than 400 years ago, and the seal he left was of course considered an old antique.
When Yang Zheng heard him say this, he knew there was something wrong with this matter and replied: "It's nothing. I searched the classics at night and needed to find this burning sky seal to solve my problem. Do you know its whereabouts?"
Xunzi frowned and said, "I know its whereabouts. The problem is that it is difficult for you to get it. This seal is the famous magic weapon of Duke Huan of Qi. It is very powerful. Later, Jiang Qi was destroyed and it was occupied by the royal family today."
Yang Zheng's eyes trembled slightly, "What do you mean is it in the palace?"
Once the Burning Heaven Seal falls into the hands of King Qi, it will be a huge trouble. If you want to get it, you can only go to the palace to steal. The hope for success of this move is extremely slim, and he would rather give up looking.
Xunzi shook his head, "About ten years ago, Mengchangjun once made great contributions. In order to show his reward, the king gave him several powerful magic weapons on the spot, including this Burning Sky Seal. I happened to be there at that time, otherwise I would not have known its whereabouts."
"That is, it is in Mengchangjun's house."
When Yang Zheng heard this answer, he was not only unhappy, but was in a heavier mood.
There were four great princes in the Warring States Period, and Mengchangjun was among them. He was of high power and powerful position and was below one person in Qi State and above ten thousand people. Even the King of Qi was respectful of him.
What's even more troublesome is that Mengchangjun is well-versed in Dao's Dao's thirteenth place in the world. In Linzi City, no one is his opponent except Xun Shenghe who used the country's fortune. In addition, he likes to raise scholars and has many strong people under his sect. Who dares to break into his mansion?
In contrast, it is a little less difficult to break into the palace.
Xunzi said lightly: "Let's give up. Mengchangjun is powerful and powerful, and his Taoism is not low. Even I don't want to provoke him. Just you, how could I get the Burning Heaven Seal? It's not that I won't help you, but that Tian Wen won't give you a chance to bargain."
Mengchangjun is rich and can match a country, and there is really nothing to lack. Even if there is one, it is not something Yang Zheng can do.
Yang Zheng's face was as deep as water. After a long silence, he said, "Thank you for your advice, senior."
There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of someone who is determined. He is not a person who gives up easily. If he doesn’t give up, how can he know that this road will not work?
Moreover, the accounts of him and brothers Tian Ji and Tian Ze have not been settled yet!
Xunzi stared at the wooden box in Li Si's hand and said expectantly: "I won't talk about this anymore. I'm very curious, how do you plan to conquer my two apprentices?"
Yang Zheng didn't want to talk about the Burning Sky Seal anymore and replied: "My idea is very simple. It takes three feet of ice to freeze, and it will not be possible to easily eliminate the conflict, and I can't do it. So, I want to ask them to continue fighting."
He paused slightly and explained: "But I want to ask them to change their ways, and fight more civilized and more interesting. I heard that they never interact with each other. This time, I want them to become closer and better get along with each other day."
Xunzi's expression changed slightly, "Are you kidding? Unless I have something to call them, they will never meet each other normally. Even if they meet by chance, they will be like strangers, turning a blind eye to them and will never say a word..."
Yang Zheng had heard of it and took the wooden box over, "So, I want them to play a game. Or, let them play a game with their disciples."
He waved his sleeves, removed the fish bones from the table, and opened the box.
A lot of wooden blocks fell out of the box, square and small, instantly piled up the desktop.
