The moon and stars are sparse and the wind is howling.
In the water tank in the backyard, Zhao Jia opened his arms and soaked in the warm water. He looked up at the night sky and almost groaned in comfort. All the bones in his body seemed to be numb. There was nothing better than taking a dip after a long journey.
A hot bath is more comfortable.
It's a pity that there is no bathroom here, and there is no private room upstairs, let alone a technician.
I really want to massage my feet, tap my back, apply some oil, and do acupressure... Zhao Jia squinted her eyes comfortably, thinking about all the past lives in her mind, and she could not help but feel sorry for herself for a while.
Only when people lose it do they realize how precious the things they once had are.
His number six, number sixty-nine...
A drop of water, whether it was sweat or tears, slid down the corner of his eye.
"I can never go back, hey~"
Zhao Jia raised his head at 45 degrees, looked at the charming night, murmured to himself, and let out a sad sigh.
"A good man has his ambitions in all directions, how can he give up on himself just because he loses power for a moment?"
At this moment, a deep voice sounded from the side.
"?!"
Zhao Jia was startled when he heard this and looked around in horror. He saw that in the originally empty backyard, there was an unknown middle-aged man wearing linen clothes and a black cloak. He was tall, with a simple appearance and dark skin, as if he had been weathered.
, with a calm expression, a pair of sparkling eyes, and no accessories except for a long black sword on his waist, which makes him look a bit like an ascetic.
Master... Zhao Jia's perception is not weak. People who have access to the Eight Extraordinary Meridians will have extremely strong five senses, which are far more powerful than those of ordinary people.
What's more, Zhao Jia's spiritual consciousness was blessed by the library and he could clearly detect any movement within dozens of meters. However, when someone approached him within ten meters, he was not aware of it. This undoubtedly means one thing.
The strength of the person coming was far above him.
Could this be the so-called unity of man and nature?
Zhao Jia didn't understand this realm, but had heard that it was rumored that people in this realm had already entered the transformation realm with their own martial arts, and could even influence a small world with their own power. Those who could reach this realm were all scholars.
A master-level figure within a hundred families.
Could it be that the other party is too?!
Zhao Jia was sizing up the other party, and the other party was also sizing up Zhao Jia. After a moment, he walked up to him and said in a deep voice: "As the son of the Zhao Kingdom, you are burdened with the country and its subjects. How can you do it because you entered the Qin Dynasty?"
Abandon your ideals for the sake of quality."
Meow meow meow... Zhao Jia blinked. He missed the warmth of the sauna in his previous life. What does it have to do with the other party?
"I heard that Prince Jia Nai of the State of Zhao is an outstanding person with talents, noble moral character, and caring for his people, but I never thought that you are just an incompetent person who has a weak will and gives up at the slightest setback!"
The visitor looked at Zhao Jia with serious eyes and scolded him directly.
It's none of your business... Zhao Jia couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
No matter who is enjoying a good bath and is suddenly pointed at and scolded, he will not feel comfortable, let alone does he know the other person?
If he couldn't figure out the other party's background, he would definitely call him over.
Zhao Jia suppressed the anger in his heart and said patiently: "Do you have any advice?"
"I don’t take advice seriously. I just can’t bear to see a young man give up on himself. As the son of Zhao State, you were once the crown prince of Zhao State and were deeply loved by the people. Now even if you go to Qin State as a hostage, you should not give up. A true man is standing in the world.
, even if you are in an unfavorable situation, you should still work hard. Don’t you know that those who create the situation are the real heroes!”
The middle-aged man looked down at Zhao Jia who was taking a bath, with a serious look on his face and said in a deep voice.
Hero?!
Haunima!
When Zhao Jia heard the other party's chicken soup speech, he couldn't help but think something in his heart, but his face remained calm and retorted: "Then what ideals and pursuits do you have?"
"Promote the benefits of the world and eliminate the harms of the world!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were firm and he spoke very calmly without any hesitation, as if he was explaining his ideals.
This sentence sounds a bit familiar... Zhao Jia used his consciousness to communicate with the library, looking for books related to this sentence, but he asked: "Then I dare to ask you, what is the benefit of the world, and what is the harm of the world?
?”
"The harm in the world is that the weak eat the strong, the strong bully the weak, big countries invade small countries, and the wise play tricks on fools. The fundamental reason for all this is that people do not love each other. If we can love each other and benefit each other, we should not oppose each other.
If we hate each other, become thieves of each other, and share wealth equally, there will be no more jealousy, resentment, or competition in the world, and we will be able to achieve the benefit of the world!"
The middle-aged man said slowly.
Zhao Jia also opened relevant books at this moment, and a big character came into view. He lost his voice and said: "Your Excellency is a disciple of the Mohist School?"
Speaking of it, the middle-aged man in front of him seemed to be the first person from the Hundred Schools of Thoughts that he had come into contact with, and the curiosity in his heart was instantly aroused. In addition to the seven heroes competing for hegemony, the most interesting thing in this era is naturally the Hundred Schools of Thoughts.
"Is this important? Why do people care about each other's identities when they interact with each other? Compared with my identity, the ideals and pursuits in your heart are more important!"
The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Jia and said in a deep voice, as if he wanted to see what Zhao Jia was thinking in his heart.
"Ideals and pursuits?"
Zhao Jia was silent when he heard this, and now his heart calmed down. He found that the biggest generation gap between himself and this era was that he had no pursuits or ideals.
This is perhaps the biggest common problem among modern people.
In the face of reality, all pursuits and ideals are bullshit.
His childhood dream was to drive a tractor. When he grew up, tractors disappeared...
"How can a person live without ideals and pursuits!"
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, seeming to notice Zhao Jia's confusion, and said in a deep voice.
Do kingdoms and beauties count... Zhao Jia answered honestly in his heart, but shook his head and said slowly: "Let us not talk about my ideals and pursuits for the moment. Don't you think your ideals are too illusory? People have
With seven emotions and six desires, there will naturally be greed, delusion, and anger, and what you want will never be realized.
This world is originally a world where the strong eat the weak and the fittest survive. Your so-called equal distribution of wealth and elimination of fights between each other is simply deceiving yourself and others.
If the wealth is distributed equally according to your idea, who should be responsible for the equal distribution?
Will he give more to his relatives?
If it were really divided equally, would there still be people in the world struggling?
Whether I work hard or not, I can get what I want, so why don't I just lie down and accept help from others?
If the times want to progress, competition and struggle must be inseparable!”
There is another sentence that Zhao Jia did not say, that is, war can make the times develop and progress rapidly!
The middle-aged man's body trembled, as if he was told something that was on his mind. He clenched his fists and closed his eyes to think deeply.
At this moment, Zhao Jia suddenly discovered that the left hand of the person in front of him actually had six fingers. At the same time, the corresponding message from the other party appeared in his mind, which was the original owner's understanding of various schools of thought.
There are rumors in the world that the Mohist tycoon was born with six fingers on his left hand. Because of his Mohist identity, he wore a black cloak, so he was called the "Six-fingered Black Man" by people in the world.
What an irritating name... Zhao Jia muttered, but soon his expression froze.
