Chapter 658 Same as Before

Taoism, Taiyi Mountain.

The clouds and mist are deep and the bamboo forest is quiet.

"Has Xiaomeng gone into seclusion?"

Bei Mingzi sat alone on the stone platform, picked up a cup of tea next to him, and took a slow sip.

Chi Songzi, the head of Tianzong, holds the Snow Ji, a token held by the two sects of Heaven and Man in turn.

"Yes. But the disciple always feels that there are some changes in Junior Sister Xiaomeng's return this time."

"People will always change." Bei Mingzi touched his beard, "Xiaomeng can successfully bring Xue Ji back, which means she has passed the test."

"But this test..."

Chi Songzi, the head of Tianzong, inquired about some information and vaguely knew some of the contents. He didn't know how Xiaomeng passed, but he clearly remembered how Xiaomeng felt resentful towards the man who took her to the test before she went into seclusion.

"It doesn't matter! In this stormy apocalypse, going through these tests will be beneficial to Xiaomeng, and it will also be beneficial to Taoism."

"What does Master mean?"

"The struggle between the various schools of thought is not only in the rivers and lakes, but also among the courts. The empire has opened schools, and all the schools of thought have people who hold doctorate degrees. The same is true for our Taoists. But the power structure of the empire is changing. The disputes between various schools of thought are far from simple as before."

Chi Songzi, the head of Tianzong, nodded if he felt something.

"The Valley of Hope disappeared in an instant. There was also a turmoil at the farmhouse, and the world became increasingly unstable."

"I'm afraid these two families won't be the only ones who are uneasy."

"Master, you mean that my Taoist family will also be involved?"

"Although Taoism has always been aloof from the world, it is not really aloof from the world after all. No one is immune to this turmoil in troubled times. Especially since Taoism is divided into two sects, heaven and man. Although they belong to the same sect, they all go their own way. This turmoil will become more and more serious. As we get older, the Tian Sect hides in the mountains, but the Human Sect has become more active in the world recently."

"Master is worried that the Renzong side will be taken advantage of."

Bei Mingzi drank a cup of tea and spoke leisurely, with a sense of vicissitudes of life.

"I'm afraid it's not that others will take advantage of me, but that I'm already involved. In the end, the entire Taoist family will not be able to escape."

"That's why Master asked Xiaomeng to go into seclusion, because he was afraid that she would be taken advantage of because of her young age?"

"I was worried about this before, but after going out to practice, Xiaomeng has improved a lot."

Bei Mingzi has profound cultivation and can be happy or angry as he pleases. At this time, a smile appeared on his face.

"All the schools of thought are in the game. Only when the enemies and friends are determined early can they be able to control each other vertically and horizontally. This game is still going on."

Tianzong leader Chi Songzi looked at Xue Ji in his hand. This token, which is worshiped in turn by the Taoist sects of Heaven and Man, represents Taoism. But not long ago, Bei Mingzi took out the sword in a rare move and handed it into the hands of outsiders.

The profound meaning in this made the head of Tianzong thoughtful.

"What will happen to Tianzong in the future?"

"As usual, locked up in the mountains and not interested in worldly affairs."

"Disciple understands."

Confucianism, Xiaoshengxian Village.

Xunzi closed his eyes and listened to Yan Lu playing music.

The happiness of a gentleman is elegance and simplicity.

After the song ended, Xunzi opened his eyes.

"Yan Lu, your piano skills have improved again."

Yan Lu was beside him and bowed lightly.

Fu Nian was sitting next to him. He, who had always been steady, was a little uneasy at this moment, as if something had affected his mood.

Xunzi saw this and laughed.

"You couldn't sit still when we were enjoying the fun just now, and you still can't sit still now. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Uncle Master, the world has just settled down, but the world is becoming more and more unstable. My disciple is just worried that this instability will not stop here, and will brew up a bigger storm, which will eventually involve Confucianism."

After hearing this, Xunzi turned his head and looked at Yan Lu.

"I heard that Zixiu's family came to Songhai recently?"

The second head of Xiaoshengxian Village was a little surprised as to why his uncle suddenly mentioned Wei Ci. However, Yan Lu told the truth.

"Zixiu's father is here. I gave him a few days off to reunite with his family."

After hearing this, Xunzi nodded.

"Confucianism has long been involved in this turmoil. This turmoil will not only be in the arena, but also in the court. Many Confucian people have served as officials in Xianyang and served as doctors. If you want to avoid it, you can't avoid it. "

Fu Nian's expression changed, and he naturally knew that the dispute between Confucianism and Legalism was now fierce.

The eldest son of the empire is also very close to a group of Confucian scholars, but this makes the Legalists in the empire uncomfortable.

"What about the Little Sage Village?"

"On the shore of Songhai, reading behind closed doors is the same as usual."

"Can……"

Fu Nian didn't understand. Since his uncle already understood the danger, why did he do this?

But Xunzi had no intention of explaining. He seemed tired and waved his hand.

"You guys go down!"

Not long after Fu Nian and Yan Lu left, another guest came to the hut in the backyard.

"I have met Master Xun."

The person who came here did not look like a Confucian scholar, he looked very rough. But a pair of eyes, but the divine light is restrained, and the cultivation is not ordinary.

"Where's Zixiu?"

"That kid is eating at the inn at the foot of the mountain. I'm leaving here soon."

"You father and son haven't seen each other for many years. Are you leaving so soon?"

"In the land of Qilu, there are more and more spies in the net. If I leave earlier, I can also cause less trouble."

Xunzi touched his beard and sighed.

"It's not easy for you either."

"When I see my son becoming talented, I would also like to thank Master Xun for his guidance."

"No matter where Zixiu is, he will eventually become a talented person. After all, Confucianism owes a favor to Lord Hanyang."

Xuanjian bowed his hands and bowed again.

"Nowadays in Xianyang, the battle between Confucianism and Legalism is endless. However, Legalism has gained the upper hand, and the net is closing in on it. There may be another disturbance in this."

There are many factions in Confucianism. Xunzi’s lineage is just one of them.

However, the leader of Legalism today, Tingwei Li Si, is a disciple of Xunzi, and so is Han Fei, the great master of Legalism.

However, Confucianism and Legalism did not join hands because of this. Instead, they fought fiercely.

"Then what do Han Yangjun say?"

"In this chaos, even within the various schools of thought, it is difficult to reach an outcome. The fog is deep, but only if the enemy and the friend are determined early can we continue on."

Xunzi touched his beard with a smile on his face.

Organ city.

In front of Zhao Shuang was a bamboo slip with a line written on it in the secret language of the Mohist family.

The leader of the chivalry is lost, and the peasant family is divided.

In the distant Daze Mountain, something happened that could affect the situation of the world.

But this incident will not make this already unstable world more chaotic. All schools of thought have their own choices in this turmoil, and all the executors of the Qinglong Plan cannot continue to control the plan.

The entire world has formed an order and maintained a short-term balance.

Zhao Shuang stood up, looked at the scenery of the city, and spoke softly.

"I'm afraid this world will be peaceful for a long time."
