Ye Fala was a bit embarrassed. "So you don't want me to believe it?"
"Of course, don't believe it!" Xu Yun: "What do you mean by the successor of the Duke of Zhou? This is the first time I've heard someone call himself a successor of the Duke of Zhou! Isn't this bullsh * t? Do you know who the Duke of Zhou is? "
Ye Fala showed an embarrassed expression again. To be honest, she didn't know much about history, and she didn't read any books about it. The only thing she knew was that the Duke of Zhou was a dream interpreter!
"Who is the Duke of Zhou?"
Xu Yun shook his head speechlessly. "You don't even know who the Duke of Zhou is, but you believe him when he says he's the successor of the Duke of Zhou?"
"Everyone believed it, so I …" When Ye Fala heard this, he felt that he was a little too foolish. But if he was foolish, did that mean that everyone else was foolish?
"Let me tell you, the Duke of Zhou is Zhou Gongdan, the fourth son of King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, and the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa. He assisted King Wu of Zhou in attacking King Zhou twice." Xu Yun: "Have you heard of the Investiture of the Gods?"
"It sounds very powerful." Ye Fala nodded.
"He's indeed a very powerful person. There's no need to say more." Xu Yun: "One year to save the chaos, two years to restrain the Yin, three years to suppress the Yan, four years to build the Hou Wei, five years to build the Zhou Army, six years to establish the Rites and Music, and seven years to become the King. It's about his lifetime of achievements, the pioneer of Confucianism. "
"Then what does he have to do with the dream interpreter?" Ye Fala was a bit puzzled.
Xu Yun smiled bitterly. "The connection is a bit funny. Because the Duke of Zhou contributed a lot to the establishment and perfection of the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system, the Duke of Zhou enjoyed a very high status in Confucianism. Even the Great Saint Confucius said, 'I won't dream of the Duke of Zhou', which is a metaphor for the loss of the Zhou Dynasty's etiquette culture."
"Ah?" Ye Fala was confused. "You managed to get in touch with Confucius?"
"That's right. The Duke of Zhou is a figure that frequently appears in Confucius's dreams. Therefore, in Hua Xia, where Confucianism has long dominated the culture, the Duke of Zhou is inevitably directly associated with dreams." Xu Yun: "Because the Confucian culture is too powerful, this is inevitably caused by its influence. Then, no matter whose dream it is, they have to contact the God of Zhou. Even the students who sleep in class are said by the teachers to have gone to play chess with the God of Zhou."
"To put it bluntly, this is just a matter of word of mouth without any foundation?" Ye Fara asked.
"You can't say that. The Duke of Zhou's dream interpretation is also considered an ancient cultural heritage. Moreover, it is indeed the crystallization of the vast number of laboring people's wisdom. Although it is difficult to be displayed in the hall of elegance, it is widely spread among the people." Xu Yun said, "But this thing doesn't have a master or a sect at all. The master you mentioned said that he was the successor of the Duke of Zhou, which is obviously nonsense. Duke of Zhou does have many sons, but all of them are nobles, generals, and ministers. His sons are also the monarchs of Zhou State, Lu State, Fan State, and a few other states. "
"They are all monarchs?" Ye Fara said in astonishment, "The monarchs definitely wouldn't interpret dreams for others."
Xu Yun nodded. "That's for sure. Moreover, even if Lu State was destroyed, during the reign of Emperor Ping of Han, Lu Qian was conferred the title of Duke of Baolu, Duke of Zhou. After Prince Kuan died, he was posthumously conferred the title, and his son Gongsun Xiangru inherited the title. During the reign of Wang Mang, Xiangru's descendant Ji was conferred the title of Prince of Baolu. His family background is illustrious, why would he interpret dreams for others for no reason! It's impossible for him to have a disciple. "
Only now did Ye Fara understand that the fellow who called himself a master was completely talking nonsense. The successor of the Duke of Zhou's dream interpretation … Hu, it was completely a pretense to fool people.
"Actually, the Duke of Zhou should be the model of a politician. The Confucian culture regards his personality as the highest example. The highest political ideal is the benevolent government of the beginning of Zhou. What Confucius advocated his entire life was also the Duke of Zhou's ritual and music system, "Xu Yun said.
"Isn't the difference between dream interpretation and politics too great?" Ye Fara said. "There is almost no connection between the two, right? Why is he said to be the model of a politician? "
"There was once someone who slandered him in front of King Cheng, speaking ill of the Duke of Zhou. The Duke of Zhou had no choice but to flee to Chu to hide. Not long after, King Cheng flipped through the documents in the treasury, discovering the Duke of Zhou's prayers when he was sick. He was endlessly moved by the Duke of Zhou's loyalty to the country, immediately sending people to welcome the Duke of Zhou back. After the Duke of Zhou returned to Zhou, he still loyally toiled for the dynasty. After being wronged by King Cheng, he was still loyal and devoted, working his heart out for the development of Zhou Dynasty, until his death, ruling the world. "
"How do you know so much?" Ye Fara's eyes widened.
"Perhaps I read all kinds of random books. After reading a lot, I naturally know a lot more." Xu Yun said, "I feel like on this point, I definitely know a lot more than that master. If he knew these things, he definitely wouldn't call himself the Duke of Zhou's successor, Dream Interpretation Great Master."
Ye Fara didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Then does that mean my dream doesn't have any meaning?"
"Yes, of course it has meaning." Xu Yun said, "When you miss someone for a long time, you will definitely have some worries. Your dream only turned your worries during the day into an illusion. This only shows that you are worried, but it doesn't show that kid's situation."
"Then how do you think Fei Fan is doing now?" Ye Fara frowned.
"Based on my understanding of that kid, he should be doing well." Xu Yun said, "At least I feel that the Hunter School is a place that he likes."
Ye Fara didn't think that there was anything good about the Hunter School. "Actually, I have always been very …"
"I know, you must be brooding over this matter." Xu Yun said, "If I were you, I wouldn't want him to go to that kind of place either. It's true that I didn't look after him well. But … think about it from another angle. Since that place was his own choice, he will definitely like it. "
"He is still a child. Children will often regret their choices." Ye Fara sighed. "Do you think … a place like the Hunter School doesn't give people the chance to regret?"
"There is no medicine for regret in this world." Xu Yun said, "You have to take responsibility for your choices."
Ye Fara felt sorry for Bu Feifan. "But …"
"You have to believe in his choice." Xu Yun said, "However, you are right about one thing. In the Hunter School, he won't have any chance to regret."
"I knew it would be like this …" Ye Fara frowned. "Then when can I see him?"
"I think that once he has the chance to enter the Hunter School freely, he will definitely come back to see you." Xu Yun said, "At least he doesn't have that chance now. Without a certain qualification, it is impossible to enter the Hunter School freely. "
Ye Fara looked at Xu Yun expectantly. "Then … then can I go see him?"
"Don't forget your current situation. You can't leave Shen Jiang for the time being." Xu Yun's consciousness was saying that Ye Fala was still a criminal. She could only move around in Shen Jiang. Once she left Shen Jiang, it would exceed the rights she could enjoy now and she would be detained.
Moreover, even if Ye Fala could come up with a solution, it was impossible for Xu Yun to bring her to the Hunter Academy to look for Bu Feifan. Not everyone could enter the Hunter Academy as they wished, and even if they could enter, they would not be able to look for Bu Feifan.
It wasn't a place where you could do whatever you wanted. The discipline of the Hunter School wasn't lax at all compared to the Dragon Brigade. It was even stricter than the Dragon Brigade. Otherwise, that place wouldn't have become a place filled with super experts.
"I can't be sure about other things, but I dare say that the current Bu Feifan is like a different person from the past." Xu Yun said, "Believe it or not, even if you see him now, you won't believe that he is still the same child."
"Don't say that. I won't be able to see him anyway." Ye Fara shook her head in disappointment. "Forget it. I know my request is unreasonable, but I really miss him. There is no news about this child at all. How can I not be worried … It would be good if he could just give me a call."
Xu Yun couldn't do anything about it. He could only apologize. It was very difficult for him to contact Bu Feifan.
