The Hulei Leopard felt a little depressed. Although it had long known that such a day would come, it felt an inexplicable sadness when it actually parted with its former owner.

But there is no way. It is a psychic horse, so it naturally knows that the sale is a matter of mutual consent. The former owner has no food left in his house. If he keeps it anymore, he will really not be able to afford it. If he sells it,

It can not only find a good home for the leopard, but also alleviate the family's expenses.

This is all a helpless move. There are many helpless things in the world, including the Hulei Leopard itself. In fact, it does not like to eat weeds. It prefers to eat meat. After it became psychic, it realized that it might be different from other horses.

.

However, the former owner's family was so poor that they were almost starved of food. How could they provide meat? They ate some corn every day. The father of the former owner didn't want to pass on the inheritance to her because the previous owner was a woman.

Knowledge only requires her to work every day. She thinks that a woman's knowledge is a great disrespect to the world. Although Hu Leibao doesn't know why that bad old man holds such a weird view, it is the master's business after all.

It's just a pony, where does it come from?

If you carry that bit of inheritance into the earth, you will probably be dug out when you die, right?

Hu Leibao moved his body, feeling the cold breath not far away, and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This person made him very uncomfortable, but now this person was indeed his new master.

As if the cold breath from the underworld penetrated into this warm world, Hu Leibao lowered his head, feeling more and more weird and terrifying about this person, but the other person would sometimes turn around, look at him up and down, and say something.

A slight sound of admiration.

"Heavenly Horse... After the BMWs in this world are channeled, how many of them can have the appearance of Heavenly Horse? If the Jade Rouge dies, it will die. A good horse cannot be called a famous horse in the world, but

You are different..."

"I will nurture you well, and I hope you will not let me down. One day, you will become a powerful spirit horse like King Mu's Eight Horses, flying between heaven and earth, swimming in the land of Sansang, turning life and death upside down, even if you become a

Bones, you can continue to fight for me."

His pale face and dark eyes revealed an extremely scorching gaze, as if he was going to eat the Hulei Leopard alive, including the bones and tendons. This naturally made the pony's whole body jerk.

Shrink.

It felt that the road ahead might be dark, and even if it raised its head, it could only see the vast abyss.

.......

The Sima family originated from the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was once the name of an official position. Sima, Situ, and Sikong were collectively called the Three Yousi. At the same time, they were also called the "Five Officials" together with Sushi and Sikou. This official position first evolved into a title because of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty.

During the period, Cheng Boxiu's father was in charge of the country's army, assisted in the government and assisted the country, and had great power. Later, Cheng Boxiu's father conquered Xu Fang and made great achievements. King Zhou Xuan allowed him to use his official surname as his surname, and this Cheng Boxiu's father...

His ancestor was also the Chongli clan!

The surname Feng is Cheng, and they come from the same origin as Mr. Cheng. Their ancestors go back thousands of years, so maybe they are still the same family.

There is also a certain relationship between the Cheng family and the Xun family. The Xun family branch of the Jin Dynasty used to live in Chengyi, and later adopted the surname Cheng. After Cheng Bo died, some of his descendants took the official surname and were called Sima.

, and the other part continue to use the land as their surname, called Cheng.

Of course, the ancestors of the Sima family are also descended from the Tian family of Qi State, the Chen family... But in general, most of them are to change their surnames, or follow the example of Cheng Bo and use the official surname as the surname, while the surnames of Handan of Zhao State are This Sima family is naturally the remnant of the Jin State. When the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, the Sima family settled down with the Zhao family and took root here. Naturally, it cannot have much connection with the Sima family of Qi State.

Sima Ming is the head of the Sima family in Handan, a distant relative of the Cheng family. At this time, the head of the family was talking to another person in the family and walking quickly towards the door.

Not far from the Sima clan's gate, a young man with a heroic appearance was walking towards this direction. He stopped immediately, his eyes lit up, then he strode forward and laughed:

"My son has been away from home for a long time, traveling thousands of miles and covered with mist, but today he is finally back home. I feel so relieved!"

The young man who arrived stepped forward and held his hands in his arms: "Uncle Lao is waiting to greet you from afar. I am very frightened."

The person who came here is called Sima, and the person is Qing. Although they refer to the same meaning, they both say Wuyun, but one is day and the other is night, which is actually a wrong annotation.

【When it rains, the stars will be seen on the night of the new year, and they will be born in the evening, and they will be born in the evening, this is why.】

The metaphor of this name actually means a thousand-mile galaxy, which is majestic and majestic. It also represents the high hopes placed on Sima in his family.

There are five principles for naming "names" in the Zhou Dynasty: there are five kinds of names: trust, meaning, image, falsehood, and category.

This was put forward by Shen Ru, an official of the Lu State, when he answered Duke Huan's question about the name. It meant that the name should be chosen based on the characteristics of his birth, or from the pursuit of auspiciousness, the entrustment of objects to symbolize aspirations, the praise of virtue, and the expectations of his parents. He also proposed that Seven Nos, that is, "not named after the country, not based on officials, not based on mountains and rivers, not based on hidden diseases, not based on livestock, and not based on utensils and coins."

For example, the word "name" in Sima Ming's name means "famous", but it actually means "hearing and reaching the world".

"Son, when you come back from Jixia Academy this time, you can see all the saints? Did you get a saint to pass on the mantle? Or is there no great sage who can lead you to become a great doctor? Or..."

His tone was a little excited and very happy at the same time. Sima raised the corner of his mouth slightly and slowly pressed his hands: "Uncle, don't be anxious. Let's talk about family affairs. My nephew heard that this year, my uncle wants to present the red cloth of King Zhao to Shu, but now But it has never come out, but what went wrong with Mr. Yao?"

Sima Ming introduced Sima into the family, and the rest of his entourage served as a foil, but no one dared to say that this was wrong. Sima entered Jixia Academy the year before last, and was valued by a wise man. He felt that he was a malleable talent, so he introduced him to Xunzi , so Xunzi deliberately met with Sima. Of course, the latter did not know that it was a sage in person at the time, so he was tricked into asking some questions about the debate between heaven and man, that is, the relationship between heaven and man in "The Theory of Heaven".

Ask him what he thinks

Sima’s answer was this:

"I heard that Confucianism worships a God called Haotian, who is in opposition to Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor of Chu State. The so-called Hao is vast and boundless, encompassing all things. He is neither cautious nor cutting down, worthy of not being embarrassed. Heaven is the sustenance of man. Human beings are subjects of Heaven, just like common people to the Son of Heaven, and like cattle and sheep to herdsmen.”

"If this is the case, and Haotian is so virtuous, then are the subjects and people under its rule the same as it?"

Xunzi responded: "The behavior of Heaven is constant. It does not exist because of Yao, nor does it destroy because of Jie. Heaven has its vocation, and everyone has his own nature. In this case, do you think that heaven and man should not be confused with each other?"

Sima: "I think Xun Sheng's views and Meng Sheng's views should be complementary rather than exclusive. We should not be ashamed of heaven and do not bow down to others. As a human being, we must always keep ourselves awake so that we can make the right choice. And

This way we can get closer to Haotian’s Hao.”

Xunzi smiled and walked away. Finally, when Sima knew that the passerby he met was actually Xunzi, he was also very shocked. At the same time, when he knew this information, Xunzi's evaluation of him had also come down.

, which is called "keeping the Tao".

From then on, Sima entered Jixia Academy and began to bloom a period of brilliance that was unique to him.

After hearing Sima's inquiry, Sima Ming shook his head and said: "The few pieces of cloth sent before were faded. It is difficult to offer them as inferior products. There seems to be something strange about this matter... I ordered him to dye it again, but old man Yao's words were not good.

Ask me not to rush, but how can I do it without urging? Now the time for the big festival is coming...

"Moreover, except for the cloth, I have not been able to choose a good horse this year, so I can only donate the best horse..."

Sima smiled slightly and said to Sima Ming: "The cloth is not difficult. If Mr. Yao can't get it out, then my nephew will find a way."
