"Junior Brother, how are your meridians recovering?”Xun Zi asked while holding a teacup in one hand and a white chess piece in the other.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. Five years ago, in order to deduce a cultivation method to train my meridians, I read through the Daoist Canon for a year. Among them, the Book of Changes benefited me a lot, and I finally completed the deduction of the cultivation method. Now that I've practiced it for four years, most of my meridians have recovered.”Bai Su nodded.
"Back when you first created the Nine Yin Scripture, I also read the chapter on changing tendons and forging bones. For you to have such thoughts, you really are talented, and I can't compare to you.”Xun Zi placed a piece on the chessboard and praised.
Bai Su smiled without saying a word. It was impossible for Xun Zi to be inferior to him, but to be able to deduce the Nine Yin Scripture from the novels of his previous life after reading through the Daoist Canon for a year, his martial arts talent must be top-notch.
Furthermore, in the past five years, Bai Su had not only created the Nine Yin Manual, but he had also derived the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, Wave Subtle Steps, and many other sword techniques based on the descriptions in the novels of his previous life and his extraordinary martial arts talent.
Xun Zi had even asked him why it was called the " Nine Swords Beyond the Swords " and not the " Nine Swords of the Bai Clan ". Bai Su naturally wouldn't tell him that it was a memory that belonged to him. Instead, he found an excuse to brush it off.
Senior Brother, I lost again." Looking at the increasingly obvious situation on the chessboard, Bai Su put down the chess piece in his hand and cupped his hands.
"Hehe, Junior Brother, thank you for letting me win. If it wasn't for the fact that your heart wasn't here, I'm afraid that I would have to spend more effort.”Xun Zi also put down his chess piece and chuckled.
"Sigh, if it weren't for Junior Martial Brother's efforts in recent years, how could our scholarly faction have such a grand occasion? Even the old Confucius Saint would have to praise you.”Thinking of the changes in the scholarly faction in recent years, Xunzi was getting more and more confused about his junior brother. However, these changes were all good for the scholarly faction, so Xunzi didn't think too much about it.
Ever since he returned to the Small Sage Manor five years ago, Bai Su had only done two things.
The first was to create techniques. Through reading through the theories of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy in the Small Sage Manor, he created a large number of cultivation techniques, including sword techniques, palm techniques, lightness techniques, and so on.
The second thing was to change Confucianism. The Confucianism of this era was not like Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism, which was the only one after he abolished all the other schools of thought. Other than respecting etiquette and still having prejudice against women, the other thoughts were very open.
Therefore, in order to prevent some of the dregs of Confucianism from harming future generations, Bai Su wanted to slowly change it. Other than some that could not be changed in this era, the rest of the dregs that could be eliminated were eliminated after discussion with Xunzi.
Apart from that, Bai Su had also edited and edited the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic based on his memories, and then made them into the enlightenment books of this era.
These events caused Bai Su's influence in the seven countries to soar day by day.
One of the most influential events was when Xunzi asked Bai Su to give a lecture at the entrance ceremony of the Little Saint Manor a year ago.
Bai Su left behind four words of warning:
For heaven and earth I set my heart,
For the sake of the people,
For the sage of the past, he inherited the ultimate art,
To open peace for all ages.
When these four words were spoken, Bai Su was even more respected by scholars all over the world as the White Son. The four sentences he said were called the White Son Four Words.
"Senior apprentice-brother, in a few more years, I will make it so that everyone in the world can read the book. That will be the grand occasion of our scholarly faction.”Bai Su picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.
"This matter is very difficult. The past generations of Confucian sages also had this idea, but it is very difficult to do so. Not to mention that the seven kingdoms are still at war with each other, and war is constantly raging.”
"It is extremely difficult to implement it even in a country, and the manpower and material resources consumed are difficult to estimate.”Xun Zi shook his head, wanting to break Bai Su's unrealistic thoughts.
"Of course, I've thought about it. Nowadays, it's difficult for people to read and write. It's just that carving a bamboo slip takes a long time, and dozens of books need to be transported by carriage.”
"But what if I can solve these two problems?”Bai Su smiled.
Xun Zi was delighted. After a few years, he naturally knew that his junior brother would not speak arrogantly. He hurriedly asked,"Junior Brother, do you have any way to resolve this dilemma?”
" I have a technique called paper making. Through this technique, I can create paper that is as white as snow, thinner than silk, and even lighter than a bird's feather. Writing on it is more eye-catching than writing on bamboo slips. Books bound with paper are only the size of two palms, extremely light, and extremely convenient to transport.”Bai Su didn't keep him in suspense and continued.
" I also have a technique called movable type printing. The principle is to engrave each character on a suitable mold. When necessary, brush ink on the mold, and then print the word on the paper. When copying an article or book, arrange the mold of the corresponding word in order to quickly print the required article or book.”
"Hahahahaha, Junior Martial Brother is truly talented. I didn't expect that the problems that had stumped the past generations of Confucian sages would be so easily resolved by Junior Martial Brother.”Xun Zi stroked his beard and laughed.
"However, did Junior Martial Brother succeed in creating these two techniques?”Xun Zi asked again with anticipation in his eyes.
"No, these two items cannot appear in the world right now, or else it will be detrimental to our scholarly faction. When Junior Martial Brother enters Qin in the future, these items will be revealed to the world.”Bai Su shook his head and promised Xun Zi.
"Looks like Junior Brother also believes that the one who is below the heavens will definitely be the Qin country.”Xun Zi sighed.
"Senior Brother, you can see that it's just because of Han Fei that you don't want to say it out loud.”Bai Su naturally knew what Xun Zi was thinking.
Xun Zi only had two direct disciples now, and his senior brother Han Fei came from Han, the weakest of the seven countries, and was the ninth son of the Han royal family.
Moreover, Han Fei seemed to be free and easy, but he was always immersed in the feelings of his family and country, which he couldn't compare with his junior brother Li Si.
Li Si was born in the State of Chu. Although he was not as intelligent as Han Fei, he was more aware of the situation than Han Fei. In the end, he joined the Qin Dynasty as an official. Unfortunately, he was too greedy for power and would eventually harm others and himself.
Senior Brother, don't worry about Han Fei. If Han Fei comes back, I will protect him for you. Even if the Han Country is destroyed in the future, I can protect Han Fei's life as long as he doesn't do anything out of line.”Bai Su's words reassured Xun Zi.
"In that case, thank you, junior apprentice-brother." Xun Zi stood up and cupped his hands in thanks.
Xun Zi had done his best for Han Fei, but unfortunately, he couldn't be completely at ease as long as Han Fei's obsession didn't disappear.
