Moreover, even if Chu Zhao didn't say anything today, they would still be willing to pay homage to Li Dao, or even directly kowtow to become his disciple.
After all, being able to enlighten people to the truth in one sentence is not something ordinary people can do.
The words just now seemed to have an effect on Old Master Chu.
In fact, it is the same for them, but their understanding in life has not reached the level of Master Chu, so there does not seem to be any obvious change.
But in the future, whenever they make progress in their practice because of this sentence, this kindness will also progress accordingly.
In short, it seemed like it was just a casual comment from Li Dao.
But as long as it can be passed down, the cause and effect will also be passed down.
Li Dao said helplessly, "Mr. Chu, you are a little too flattering to me."
Chu Zhao shook his head, "This is what it should be."
Seeing Master Chu's serious look, Li Dao said no more.
After all, this matter is also good for him.
Since ancient times, literati have been the most difficult to deal with. With such a status, he will be helpful in doing some things in the future.
Then, Chu Zhao glanced at everyone in Wenhua Academy and said, "Since you have settled in, it's time for me to leave."
Hearing this, the disciples of Wenhua Academy were stunned.
"Teacher, why are you leaving?"
"Didn't you agree to stay and look after us for a while?"
Chu Zhao said bluntly, "I thought Southern Xinjiang was very dangerous before, so I escorted you. Now that Southern Xinjiang has changed under Governor Li's governance, what reason do I have to stay?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone didn't know what to say.
Then Chu Zhao said again, "Okay, I'm just gone, not dead, so why bother acting like a daughter."
At this time, Li Dao said, "Mr. Chu, it's rare for you to come here, so you might as well stay a few more days."
He could export his education to Chu Zhao, a student of Wenhua College, but not to Li Dao, the person who made him enlightened.
Chu Zhao shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to stay. If possible, I would also like to sit down and discuss the Tao with you, Governor Li. It's just that after I realized the Tao before, I feel it's time to do some things. The unity of knowledge and action will make me live." After a hundred years, I am going this time to verify my knowledge through practice, and also to break through the current bottleneck. This is also the reason for saying goodbye."
Li Dao was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chu, didn't you make a breakthrough just now?"
"No."
"I wonder if I could ask Mr. Chu about your level of cultivation?"
"There is nothing wrong with it."
Chu Zhao said bluntly, "According to the orthodox cultivation realm, my previous realm should be the peak of the Grand Master."
"However, Governor Li's words made me realize the truth before, and now I have half a foot in heaven."
"And leaving this trip is also to prepare for the true breakthrough of heaven and man."
After listening to Chu Zhao's words, Li Dao looked him up and down, looking like an ordinary old man.
It is completely impossible to associate him with a practitioner at the peak of the Grand Master.
He also didn't expect that his previous words would allow a cultivator at the peak of the Grand Master to get a glimpse of heaven and humans.
Suddenly, Chu Zhao said, "Actually, I don't really care about the so-called spiritual realm."
"I just want to seriously study the ways of the world."
"These are just incidental to enlightenment and practice."
Li said, "..."
At this time, Chu Zhao said doubtfully, "Actually, I still don't understand what the great master who founded Confucianism was thinking."
"What's the meaning?"
"Logically speaking, the person who can create a Confucian Cultivator should be a powerful person who has separated from the world. He should take everything very lightly, but for some reason, he can understand something like a Confucian Cultivator with extraordinary power."
Hearing this, Li Dao was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Mr. Chu, I should be able to answer this question for you on behalf of the sage."
"Um?"
"Presumably Mr. Chu, when you were arguing with others, you must have encountered many people who failed to argue and became unreasonable in the end."
"Yes."
"Then how did you solve it, Mr. Chu?"
"Basically ignore it, why fight with the villain."
"Then what if he wants to take action."
"I..."
Before he could say anything, Chu Zhao froze on the spot.
Li Dao smiled and said, "Confucianism is actually to make others sit back and listen to your reasoning when they are ready to be unreasonable."
"Hahaha."
After a moment of silence, Chu Zhao suddenly couldn't help laughing.
At the same time, the transcendent aura on his body disappeared once again.
When the laughter stopped, Chu Zhao said seriously, "I owe you another favor."
As he spoke, he took out a jade token from his arms and handed it to Li Dao.
"This is......"
"The President's Card of Wenhua College."
"What's the meaning?"
Chu Zhao said, "From today on, Governor Li, you will be the second dean of Wenhua Academy."
"Is this appropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate."
"Can......"
"With this status, that kid Zhao Xing has to bow to you as a disciple when he sees you, let alone..."
Li Dao didn't hear the rest of the words, he only heard the first sentence.
Ever since, he no longer refused and put the jade token into his arms.
He didn't care about his identity or not, he just wanted to suddenly find that this jade card matched him well.
After seeing Li Dao accept it, Chu Zhao showed a satisfied smile.
"Okay, then it's time for me to leave. After reading thousands of books, it's time to walk thousands of miles. I'll leave these little bastards to you."
After the words fell, Chu Zhao was seen rising from the ground surrounded by a ball of awe-inspiring aura, flying towards the outside of the court, and soon reached the air.
Finally, he waved to everyone, and then fled away.
"Heaven..."
Looking at Chu Zhao disappearing into the horizon, Li Dao silently set a new goal for himself in his heart.
After Chu Zhao left, Li Dao turned his attention to Cui Zhi and others.
He said slowly, "Are you convinced now?"
Hearing this, Cui Zhi and others didn't say much, and there was no unwillingness in their eyes. They behaved naturally as disciples.
Seeing this, Li Dao nodded, not wasting his words in vain.
So he said, "Next, I will have people sort out the information about Southern Xinjiang for you. When the outside is almost sorted, you can go directly to take office."
"As for the position, the imperial court has not delegated the imperial decree to tell me more. You can just discuss it among yourself."
"In short, no matter how you govern, I have only one request. Within three years, all civilians in southern Xinjiang can live a normal life. If this is not possible, then you can go back and forth wherever you come from."
If they had not argued with Li Dao before, each of them would have had absolute confidence at this moment.
But now, they are doubting themselves.
However, they are not people who can be defeated by a little setback if they can survive the oppression from the outside world in the imperial capital.
What's more, they are just more theoretical than practical, but they are still capable.
Therefore, after self-adjustment, everyone quickly regained their confidence.
