It seems that due to the influence of Taoism, people work at sunrise and rest at sunset. There are very few lights on in the small town at night.
Even restaurants, where people are most likely to gather, close on time and do not do night business.
"It's so quiet. I haven't seen such a quiet place in a long time."
Lu Yan was lying on the roof. Only the inn in the town still had the lights on. They were probably foreigners.
Yan Lingji was a little far away, standing in the corner. She heard his emotion and asked: "On the way, we set up tents on the spot. Isn't it quiet?"
"Quietness without popularity is only loneliness; quietness with popularity is very warm."
In this age, it is normal to be in a hurry and not see anyone for a long time. Facing the vast world, it is easy to feel small and lonely.
Yan Lingji closed her eyes and felt it, as if she wanted to feel the warmth, but she trembled and only said: "But I feel even more lonely."
"Because the popularity here has nothing to do with you."
She is from Baiyue, this is the Qin State, the popularity belongs to them, and she has nothing.
Lu Yan's words gave Yan Lingji another stab in her heart, but instead she curved her lips a little: "Sir, you know everything, but you don't seem to be good at talking to girls."
"Huh? Shhh~"
Lu Yan suddenly sat up and made a silent gesture.
There was a rustling sound from below the house, and after a sharp friction, silence returned.
After a while, the rustling sound started again.
This is - someone opened the door and bolted it from outside!
Lu Yan jumped to the edge and hung upside down. He saw a child dressed all in black. He looked about ten years old and was standing in front of the inn door, tinkering.
A kid robbed an inn?
What kind of operation is this?
He landed directly on the ground, walked behind the child, and patted his shoulder, "What are you doing?"
"Of course..." The child turned back stiffly, "Haha~ Brother, actually, I said I didn't do anything, do you believe it?"
As he spoke, he showed a sunny smile.
"I came into contact with the plot character, Thief Zhi, and the mission is being generated..."
"Side mission - Miao Hand Kongkong. Stealing Plant."
Robbery?
More than ten years later, the world's best thief is also one of the leaders of the Mo family. I feel that you like to sneak in and pick locks at such a young age.
"Hey~"
The little thief Zhi took advantage of Lu Yan's distraction and slipped away from his hands with an extraordinary movement.
"Hey~" While escaping, he turned back and glanced at Lu Yan who was standing there, and then - "Oh~"
"Little brother, where are you going?"
Yan Lingji was slowly retracting one foot, giggling.
What a god, little brother~
Lu Yan stepped forward, picked up the thieves and straightened them, "Tell me, where are your adults? What do you want to do?"
Robber Zhi looks so lively, has internal strength, and has Qinggong. He should not be wandering the world alone.
"You, you, you are cheating against a child!" Pirate Zhi pointed at Lu Yan, feeling incredibly angry.
"If you don't explain, I will take action."
Lu Yan stretched out his right hand towards him, rolled forward on the spot, and rushed out with both feet. Just when he saw the hope of escape, he found that his feet had lost the feeling of strength.
"Let me go!"
Lu Yan's left hand was holding the Taoist foot that was flying in the air and kicking his legs continuously, his face was speechless.
"Whoosh--" A sound broke through the air. Lu Yan instantly let go of his robber's feet and grabbed the incoming stone in his palm.
"Liaoluo~" Robber Zhi made a grimace and ran to the side with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Lu Yan has learned the chivalry of the Mohist family."
He turned his attention to the street, where there were several people standing in uniform uniforms and wrapped in black robes.
"The big bullies the small, the strong bullies the weak. Is this the Confucian style?"
The leader was wearing a bamboo hat. He lifted the bamboo hat a little with his right hand, revealing a pair of bright eyes hidden in the darkness.
When Lu Yanxian saw this man's right hand, his expression became solemn, "Six Fingers, the current Mohist giant, Six Finger Black Man."
The other party also opened his robe a little more, revealing his hands, "It's all the favor of friends in the world. I don't dare to take the word chivalrous."
Lu Yan nodded, "You really can't teach children to slide through doors and pick locks."
The person standing behind couldn't help but come out to defend the giant, his fists were already clenched, "What did you say?!"
"Am I wrong? Could it be that the moral cultivation passed down by Senior Mozi is to teach children to steal? The kid just now was so quick and agile that he was not ashamed of having the door broken, but was proud of himself. After you show up,
He also shows that he is fearless. It shows that you are very supportive of his hobby of stealing."
The man immediately shouted angrily at Lu Yan: "He is just a child, you-"
"Back off."
The Six-Fingered Black Man suddenly shouted, interrupting his words, and he retreated unwillingly.
"Yes, giant."
"Sir, what you said is right. Xiaozhi is a disciple of the Mo family, and the improper education of him is the fault of our Mo family. But as a teacher, it would be too much to attack Xiaozhi."
"My shots were very measured and would not hurt him. But he needs a lesson."
"He is still young. He just escaped from the husband with overloaded energy and was already injured. Because the husband stopped him, he did not cause any damage. I think this lesson is enough."
No wonder he was so fast just now at such a young age.
Lu Yan saw the boy hiding behind a few people and snickering, and was a little disappointed with the Mo family.
He lost interest in arguing with the Mo family and shrugged, "I don't care, but who will compensate the store owner whose door was broken open?"
"What loss did he suffer?"
The Six-fingered Black Man was puzzled, and Lu Yan felt that his expectations for the Mo family were too high. It was obvious that the other party didn't care about these details at all.
He asked rhetorically: "A door bolt that has been pried is no longer tightened. Is this a loss?"
The six-fingered black man immediately handed over his hand, "I see, we will apologize to the store tomorrow morning. Thank you sir for reminding us."
"Goodbye." Lu Yan waved his hand, turned around and walked back.
"Big brother, he——" Several members of the Mo family gritted their teeth when they saw Lu Yan being so rude.
Commander Six stopped them, "Stop talking, we are wrong about this matter. Xiaozhi, come here."
Robber Zhi ran up to him from behind and shouted: "Big Boss."
There were two "clicks" and six fingers pointed at two locations on the body of Robber's foot. The foot of Robber's foot immediately screamed in pain and then swayed in place.
"I told you not to use Qing Gong indiscriminately, but if you don't listen, I'm going to make you suffer a little bit."
Faced with Ju Zi's harsh treatment of Zhi Zhi, the people nearby worried: "Ju Zi, Xiao Zhi is..."
Liu Zhi folded his arms and looked at the miserable look of the rogue in front of him, unmoved, "It's nothing, just the sequelae of excessive exercise just now.
You guys, too, don't be too doting on him. With such an out-of-touch temper, you will sooner or later suffer losses in the world."
"Yes, giant."
Several people put aside their worries and responded in unison.
"This generation of Confucians, Fu Nian, Lu Yan, and Yan Lu, are all rare geniuses. Alas, Confucianism and Mohism are both prominent scholars, so they suffer a lot in educating the younger generations."
The Six-Fingered Black Man looked at the direction Lu Yan was leaving and sighed in his heart.
When Yan Lingji went back, she took the initiative to ask Lu Yan: "You don't seem to like the Mohist school very much? Is it because Confucianism is opposed to the Mohist school?"
Lu Yan was speechless at this question, "Who told you that Confucianism and Mohism are opposed to each other?"
Yan Lingji was puzzled, "It is said that the former Mohist tycoon also wrote an article called "Un-Confucianism", specifically attacking your Confucianism. Isn't this opposition?"
"There are many theoretical disputes. Among hundreds of schools of thought, I often scold you and you scold me, but this is not an opposition. On the contrary, many of Mohist's theories are highly overlapped with Confucianism. Legend has it that Mozi once studied Confucianism, but later formed his own sect.
, that’s why the Mohist family came into being.”
At this point, Lu Yan suddenly reacted, "When you mentioned "Fei Ru", I thought about it. I'm afraid there will be a fight between the Mohists and I tomorrow."
"How to say?"
"The Six-fingered Black Man is a generation above me, but I scolded him today. If he doesn't regain his position, I'm afraid the disciples will lose morale."
"Another debate?"
Lu Yan rolled his eyes, "What else? Can we still have a fight on Taoist territory?"
Yan Lingji lit up a little flame with her finger, and the lights in the room turned on. She turned over and entered her room, her words lingering under the night sky.
