Chapter three hundred and sixty first hidden in the city

Although the Zhou royal family was run and occupied by various vassal states, it was as chaotic as it is today and there were changes everywhere, and Luoyi became a paradise, stable but outdated, orderly but shackled.

After following a few refugees to Luoyi, Meng Qi quietly left them and asked around to find out where the guard room was.

He was dressed in gray, without any variegated colors, with a face full of dust and an ordinary face, like the most common refugee, who was aging before he was old. When he was looking for someone to inquire, he used the excuse of the clerk who was his own distant relative to his family to come and flee to avoid suspicion.

Looking for guidance, Meng Qi slowly groped forward, heading towards the direction of the Zhou Palace, and the guard room was nearby, with books and utensils inside, not a simple "library".

This earthly body is now the only secret that Meng Qi has hidden from the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and is his biggest reliance on his own consciousness. Therefore, he is extremely careful and low-key. He would rather spend more time than spread his spirit, outline the situation of Luoyi, and quickly find the guard room. It would be easy to rub against local strong people and cause conflicts. If the conflict is too great, he may be paid attention to by the Six Paths. With the powerful terror and supernatural powers he showed, he will definitely be able to see through his secrets at a glance.

Being low-key is to get rid of it in the future!

In the afternoon, Meng Qi finally found the guard room. The building was simple and the decoration was thick, and there were two soldiers guarding the door.

As his thoughts turned, Meng Qi walked up and pretended to say, "Two soldiers, don't you know if there is someone named Li and Dan here?"

He did not sneak in and search directly, and chose to ask first, because Li Dan was probably the incarnation of Taishang Laojun, the "My deity" and the "My deity" ranks among the three purities and is one of the oldest people on the other side. It is hard to say what his attitude towards him is. Whether he is with the Six Paths or the powerful behind him, or to be neutral or kind, it is still impossible to be sure.

Because of the handwritten book "Tao Te Ching" written by Tianzun obtained in Journey to the West, Meng Qi favored the latter, but this kind of thing often cannot be relied on feelings alone. What if it was collected by the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the past and placed there for himself to obtain it as a backup plan?

Based on this, Meng Qi was cautious and decided to first hit and hit the side, figure out the general situation before making a judgment.

Seeing the vagrants in front of him with elegant conversation, the two soldiers did not dare to treat them rudely. One of them thought for a while and said, "There is no one named Li Dan in the guard room. Have you remembered the wrong place?"

Without Li Dan? Meng Qi quickly said: "He may have changed his name, but is there Li Er or Lao Dan?"

Before the war of the Gods, Lao and Li were the same as Li, Dan and Er were synonymous, and now they have been differentiated, but Meng Qi only knows the name of the original world, so he has to ask a few more questions.

"No, either." Another soldier looked impatient.

Meng Qi pretended to turn a blind eye and asked again: "Where is there anyone in the storage room that is well-versed in the past and modern times and understands morality?"

Perhaps the world after the change is no longer called Li Dan? But the incarnation of the Heavenly Lord of Morality must spread morality!

"Are you here to find a relative or make trouble?" the impatient soldier said with a face.

The soldier who spoke first shook his head at him. The person in front of him was very good at talking, so he was afraid that he would answer honestly and send him away as soon as possible.

"Li Rong, a history of the Tibetans, is well-versed in ancient times and modern times, and is well-versed in etiquette. He is a famous sage in the world." He retelled the evaluation of the Tibetans by many doctors in the past, and finally said, "Apart from the Tibetans, no one else can be regarded as having a history of the ancients and modern times."

Understand etiquette rather than morality? This is more like Confucius rather than Li Dan... Meng Qi pondered for a while, sure that Li Rong was not the incarnation of the Moral Heavenly Lord, and there was no incarnation of the Moral Heavenly Lord in the entire guard room!

Is everything different after the change? It’s not time for Li Dan to appear?

Or is it that the Supreme Master has disappeared shortly after the Battle of the Gods, and Li Dan will never appear again?

Meng Qi remembered what Duke Huan of Qi Xiaobai said, "There are laws, techniques, but no Tao." He felt a little calm in his heart and was more inclined to the latter.

The Taoist Heavenly Lord disappeared, and no one passed on the "Tao Te Ching" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so there are laws, techniques, but no Tao!

Without further questions, Meng Qi turned around and left the gate of the guard room. There was a quiet alley nearby, with few people coming and going, and sometimes he could hear birds and insects singing.

Without Li Dan, what should I do next? Meng Qi was thinking a lot and planned what he would do next.

He focused on thinking, sat cross-legged on the ground at the edge of the alley without any image, allowing few pedestrians to look at each other.

What to watch? Have you never seen a beggar?

Despite his own complaints, Meng Qi quickly clarified his thoughts. This body is mainly about "hiding", and it is important to not cause trouble and not expose it. It is still done by the deity of growing hardships. This body only takes action at critical moments and hides it from the Six Paths.

If you don’t cause trouble or be exposed, you will be hidden in the market!

——There are many strong people in the court, many frictions and many conflicts, which can easily attract the attention of the Six Paths. Da Yin is not suitable for him, while Xiao Yin is too independent and special, the same is true.

when!

The three copper coins fell in front of Meng Qi, and they did not bounce up or roll around, and they were arranged in a flat manner.

Meng Qi came to his senses and looked up. He saw a middle-aged man with wide robe and big sleeves riding a horse. There were four guards on both sides, followed by a red horse, and he was riding a beautiful girl with a remaining tenderness. His eyebrows were naturally charming, and his eyes were lively and lively.

The middle-aged man had white face and beards, his five lines were low, and he had a rare bookish spirit in troubled times. When he saw Meng Qi looking at him, he nodded slightly and said, "The world is chaotic, the number of refugees increases, and it is inevitable that he will be in a difficult situation. Use these three copper coins to buy some food."

Actually, I am not a beggar... Meng Qi's mouth twitched, he was just a whisper just now, but he didn't expect that he would be regarded as a beggar!

He was stunned and heard the middle-aged man say, "Help me, but not sleepy. If you have enough food, find some work as soon as possible."

"You have hands and feet, your body is fine, and you are not old. You are young and strong, so how can you eat things you give me all the time?"

Meng Qi was mainly hiding and did not want to get entangled. He simply pretended to be ashamed, and did not forget to pick up the copper coins, cover his face and leave, and his steps were in a hurry.

"I am still a shameful person who knows etiquette and is polite." A middle-aged man whispered behind him, "Who said Meng Qi is so good at ears!"

The girl's oriole-like voice smiled and said, "Father, you said he was not old and was when he was young? I think he was almost fifty!"

"Jianjia, he is displaced, wind, frost, sword, and hungry, and he will inevitably grow old before he grows old." The middle-aged man sighed.

At this time, Meng Qi vaguely guessed who he was, Li Rong, the governor of the Tibetan History!

After coming out of the guard room, he acted like a great sage. Who else could he do?

But this has nothing to do with yourself. Finding a low-key job that is not eye-catching as soon as possible is the right way to do it!

Two months later, Meng Qi carried the bag of goods, which seemed difficult but was actually easy to move into the storage room, and got food that had just enough to fill his stomach.

"Oh, fortunately I am the only one in the family, otherwise I would have starved to death. The people in Luoyi would be too stingy and cruel!" The coolie companion named Zhou Jian next to him complained.

Meng Qimuna replied: "It's good to have food."

His main consciousness is in his deity. He is going out to sea again, traveling through the beautiful scenery of the islands, feeling natural and tempering his will. This body can only talk simply and do physical labor without brains.

After two months of getting along, Zhou Jian began to call him stupid.

"Idiot, hey, you don't understand anyway." Zhou Jian pulled Meng Qi to sit by the wall, as if he was muttering to himself, "We are young and strong, and can still bear the hardship. How much strength can we have in ten or twenty years? If we don't find a way to save some money, we need not even be able to live on our own. If we get sick in the middle, it will be even more miserable!"

Meng Qi happened to return to his consciousness, and was slightly moved to his eyes, but he still said blankly: "You really make sense."

Zhou Jian smiled proudly: "Hehe, I've heard from others. These days, a very knowledgeable gentleman has come to us. He is very polite to us. Unlike other gentlemen, his eyes grow on his forehead. He often teaches us the truth. What he just said is what he said."

"What else is the reason?" Meng Qi asked "silly".

"He said that Mo Zi was born in the East, who was the most wise man from ancient times to the present. He cared about the common people and implemented a new policy in Qi State, calling on everyone to love and benefit each other, not discriminate against those with low status and status, help them find work, so that everyone can enter into martial arts, practice martial arts and various miscellaneous studies, and even if they don't become masters after they come out, they still have a skill and will not be unable to support themselves..." Zhou Jian's eyes showed longing, as if Qi State had become his spiritual sustenance, the Buddha's country in his dream.

"What is love and mutual benefit?" Seeing that the changes he brought about actually affected Luoyi, Zhou State, and the middle and lower class commoners, allowing them to see a glimmer of dawn of life, Meng Qi couldn't help but feel a little proud and happy in his heart, feeling accomplished and touched, and having a kind of warmth, so he asked casually.

"Everyone loves each other?" Zhou Jian scratched the back of his head and laughed dryly, "That's right, everyone loves each other."

Are you coaxing ghosts? Meng Qi complained, but he also knew that the poor people like him could understand the specific meaning, just know it.

Zhou Jian was suddenly sad: "It's a pity that Qi State is too far from Luoyi..."

Nowadays, if you don’t have martial arts skills, it is quite dangerous to travel far.

Before Meng Qi could speak, Zhou Jian lowered his voice: "But Luoyi also has a chance. I heard that all countries can't raise slaves anymore. The nobles in the city often have escaped slaves at home, so they started to raise family servants. Some of them bought at the market, and some of them picked them up. As long as they picked them up, they would have food and clothing! It's much better than now!"

He showed longing again, imagining the days when he could eat enough.

After a while, a red horse came in from the street, followed by four guards.

The young and beautiful girl was sitting immediately, with her eyes moving and a bit natural charm. She looked around and made the coolies dare not look up and look directly.

Suddenly, she saw Meng Qi, and was stunned at first, as if she was thinking about something. Then she exclaimed lightly, Zhan Yan smiled: "Do you still remember me?"

"Remember." Meng Qi stood up and made a thankful move, but was still stunned.

The girl was very satisfied and waved her whip: "Yes, my father said you have hands and feet and shouldn't beg, so you listened to it. I would rather be a coolie than be a beggar."

"Uncle Wang, write him down and let him enter the mansion."

She made a decision without asking for consent.

"Enter the mansion?" Meng Qi said "silly".

"Let you go to the mansion to be a servant, so you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future." The girl explained casually, slapped her horse forward, and continued to pick people.

Meng Qi has no disputes, and being a coolie is no different from being a servant, so why bother attracting attention?

After a while, the girl picked four more coolies and took them back to the mansion. The plaque at the door was indeed "Li's Mansion".

"Father, guess what I encountered today?" The girl rushed towards Li Rong, the guardian Shi, as if showing off.

Li Rong glanced at him, and pointed at Meng Qi and said, "He?"

"Yes, he knows shame, he doesn't beg anymore, and does a hard work to support himself." The girl praised.

Li Rong nodded slightly and looked at Meng Qi: "Heaven moves forward, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. Although you don't understand what this sentence means, you do a good job. Those who help themselves will come to the mansion in the future and don't worry about hunger and coldness."

"It's a pity that you are old and it's too late to practice martial arts."

Ten of you combined can't beat me with one hand... Meng Qi thought "contemptuously".

Li Rong paused and said, "Since you have entered my Li Mansion, you will change your surname to Li in the future. Your face is vicissitudes and you are aging before you get old, so you will be named "Dan".

"Li Dan, what an appropriate name!" The girl Li Jianjia clapped and smiled.

Li Dan and Meng Qi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart was extremely vibrated!

I was named "Li Dan"?
