"So... it's just a guess?" After hearing Xunzi's answer, Gu Xun did not choose to believe it, but asked a question.
"Yes, it's just a guess." Xunzi stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
Gu Xun's eyes wandered for a moment, and he began to think about it. Xunzi's guess was very reasonable from the outside, but only if he did not deliberately deceive himself with other intentions. Otherwise, the rise and fall of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period that he mentioned would be impossible.
It’s unbelievable.
When Confucius compiled "Spring and Autumn", Confucians were the ones who studied that period of history the most. They knew the contents compiled in the history books of various countries best, and they probably also knew the secrets that were not found in the history books. In comparison, what Gu Xun knew
It's not worth mentioning.
Although only two hundred years have passed since the Spring and Autumn Period, in this era, two hundred years of war have been enough to bury the truth. The princes and countries that were active in the Central Plains in the past were almost completely wiped out. The existing history books... may not be trustworthy.
The key lies in the Confucian attitude towards Canglong Qisu.
The Yin Yang Family is determined to get Canglong Qisu and wants to get it at all costs. However, the Mo Family, based on the content of the anime that Gu Xun knows and the contact with the Six-Fingered Black Man, they are more inclined to bury it and stop the Yin Yang Family.
,What about Confucianism?
To stop it, or to be happy to see it succeed, or do you have other plans?
Or maybe just watching with cold eyes...
"Mr. Xun Kuang... do you think Canglong Qisu is good or bad?" Gu Xun came back to his senses, refocused his eyes, and suddenly asked softly.
Xunzi's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he replied in a calm voice, "Heaven behaves as it should. I don't care about these rumors, let alone Canglong Qisu, how can I talk about good or bad?"
Gu Xun shook his head, not expressing belief in Xunzi's answer, but instead said, "The Yin Yang family is very keen on finding the secrets of Canglong Qisu, and it should be said that they have already gained a lot."
"So it is for this ally of the same dynasty that Gu Xiaoyou explores the secret of Canglong Qisu?" Xunzi, of course, knew what the Yin and Yang family was doing, so he asked back.
Gu Xun grinned and sneered, "Oh, they and I are not allies."
"Donghuang Taiyi used the method of immortality to confuse the King of Qin. If I hadn't taken into account Ying Zheng's ideas, I would have razed all the nine palaces in the divine capital."
Yan Lingji glanced at him sideways at this time, "Are you just caring about Ying Zheng? He...tui!
Gu Xun pretended not to see her eyes, but still looked serious.
Xunzi had a look of surprise on his face, finally understanding how the Yin-Yang family suddenly received strong support from Ying Zheng (referring to the canonization of the Moon God as the protector of the country), "Immortality... I didn't expect that the Yin-Yang family would use this to seek
Winning the support of Qin Wangzheng is indeed a temptation that is hard to refuse."
"However, Qin Wangzheng was only a young man at this time. How could he be obsessed with the illusory immortality so early?" After sighing, Xunzi asked doubtfully.
Gu Xun gave a very honest answer, "He is more afraid of death."
Xunzi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Well... I'm quite funny, little friend..." This is the first time I've seen someone arrange his own king like this.
However, Xunzi was not very convinced. Judging from the relevant information about Qin Wangzheng, who regained power in one fell swoop, the other party did not seem to be a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. He just regarded it as a joke that Gu Xun was inconvenient to answer.
"Not talking about this, does Mr. Xun Kuang know whether the immortality promised by Donghuang Taiyi is true?" Gu Xun waved his hand, indicating that it doesn't matter whether Ying Zheng is afraid of death or not.
"Haha, I don't have any words about the strange power and chaos. If you ask me, there is only one answer - it doesn't exist."
"What if it's related to Canglong Qisu?" Gu Xun asked again.
"Even if we trace back to the origin of the legend of Canglong Qisu, the Yellow Emperor, or the even more distant Emperor Xi, none of them have survived to this day and are immortal... Everyone in the world wants to live forever, but who can
People are not old?" Xunzi brushed the tea cup on the table with his palm, looked at the sky through the small window, and his old voice echoed faintly, speaking the indisputable fact.
Gu Xun smiled when he heard the words and did not comment.
He always felt that the Canglong Qisu pursued by Donghuang Taiyi might be different from the one in ancient times when it was first born.
"Gu asked one last question about Canglong Qisu." Gu Xun brought the topic back to the beginning.
Xunzi's eyes moved slightly, signaling Gu Xun to ask questions, without any intention of refusing.
"As far as I know, if you want to get Canglong Qisu, you should need some specific things, such as... seven copper boxes, and you should also need some special people..."
Speaking of people, Gu Xun paused for a moment, but did not give examples as before, but continued, "I wonder if Mr. Xun Kuang knows anything about these people and things. In addition to people and things,
,Are there any other requirements?"
"..." Xunzi was silent for a moment, looked at Gu Xun with sharp eyes, then looked down at the tea, and finally seemed to have made a decision, and said softly, "About the needs of people and things... I know, but
I don’t know the details, so I can’t help you, but apart from these two, there is indeed another need..."
"Position." Xunzi said with a strong voice, "We still need a position."
"Where?" Gu Xun immediately asked this question that he didn't think he could get an answer to.
Sure enough, Xunzi shook his head, "I never cared about this. I only read it occasionally in the library. Unfortunately, there was an accidental fire in the library not long ago, and all the relevant information was destroyed."
"Most of these legends and anecdotes are unique, and no one will remember their contents, so they have become extinct."
Okay... Gu Xun opened his mouth and took back the rest of the questions. It's really troublesome not to have electronic files.
Having said that, in Gu Xun's impression, the fire seemed to have happened after Han Fei and Li Si left Little Saint Xian Manor one after another, so... it was probably related to Li Si. After returning to Xianyang, maybe we could find a chance to chat with him...
…
"Well, thank you Mr. Xun Kuang for clearing up the confusion. Gu has other things to do, so I won't bother you anymore." After asking this question, Gu Xun felt that there was nothing more to ask. His files were gone, so that's it.
, so he stood up and said goodbye.
"Haha, please forgive me, little friend. I am old and have difficulty moving, so I won't send you off." Xunzi said in a strong voice, saying nonsense about being old and weak, and said goodbye with a smile.
Of course, Gu Xun didn't need this old man to see him off. He nodded and was about to leave, but when he arrived, he stopped and asked again as usual:
"By the way, I have one more thing to ask. I wonder if Mr. Xun knows about the Gongsun family in Puyang?"
Xunzi was suddenly asked, and he thought for a moment with his eyebrows raised. The surname Gongsun was widely circulated, but if it was restricted to Puyang... "You are talking about the former great general of the country, Gongsun Yu?"
