Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 530 The third point

"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, what he said about the rise and fall of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period would be It's unbelievable.

Confucius compiled "Spring and Autumn", and 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 the Spring and Autumn Period has only passed two hundred years, in this era, two hundred years of war have been enough to cover up 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 enough.

The key lies in the Confucian attitude towards Canglong Qisu.

The Yin Yang Family is determined to get Canglong Qisu and wants 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?
  Stop it, or be happy to see it happen, 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 his belief or disbelief 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 gained quite 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 in return.

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 ask for help." Winning the support of Qin Wangzheng is indeed a temptation that is hard to refuse."

"However, Qin Wangzheng is 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 being stunned for a moment, then he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Well... I'm quite funny, little friend..." This was the first time he had seen his king arranged in this way.

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, Zi Buyu has strange powers and chaos. If you ask me, there is only one answer - it does not exist."

"Then 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 Are people immortal?" Xunzi brushed the tea cup on the table with his palm, looking at the sky through the small window, his old voice echoed faintly, speaking the indisputable fact.

Gu Xun smiled when he heard this and had no comment.

He always felt that the Canglong Qisu that Donghuang Taiyi was pursuing might not be the same as it was when it was first born in ancient times.

"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, 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, "I 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 burned."

"Most of these legends and anecdotes are unique, and no one remembers their contents, so they have become extinct."

Okay... Gu Xun opened his mouth and took back the rest of the questions. It was really troublesome not to have an electronic file.

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 an opportunity 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 any more." After asking this question, Gu Xun felt that there was nothing more to ask. The files were gone, so that's it. , so he stood up and said goodbye.

"Haha, little friend, please do as you please. I am old and have difficulty moving, so I won't send him off." Xunzi said in a high-spirited voice that he was old and frail, 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. However, 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 limited to Puyang... "You are talking about the former general of the Wei Kingdom, Gongsun Yu?"
