If it is not self-cultivation, money is an indispensable survival resource for social life.
Many of Zhang Xuezhou's ideas have changed, but practical problems have forced him to face up to the needs of life.
Only when his life is stable can he carry out research on ideas.
After all, he is just a human being.
Switching from a comfortable sleeping state, Zhang Xuezhou also woke up, and then quickly prepared what needed to be done in the near future.
"cousin!"
As usual, there was some paralysis in the body due to lack of blood circulation. Zhang Xuezhou cushioned it for a while before sitting up.
The sunlight outside the window was strong, it was noon, and Rong Tianding might have gone to eat.
Zhang Xuezhou stretched his hands and feet, and when his body was revitalized, he found a pot of water in the room and poured it into his mouth to relax his body.
This time it was only 12 days of fasting, instead of the previous 30 days of fasting and traveling thousands of miles. Zhang Xuezhou felt that his body was in good condition and he was not as starving as a ghost.
But he can do a certain amount of eating at the moment.
Zhang Xuezhou touched his pocket and was about to go downstairs to have a meal when the door was opened and Rong Tianding had already entered the room carrying a large plate of chicken.
"Cousin, come and eat quickly. I knew you would wake up today and asked someone to prepare the ingredients!"
Rong Tianding has a rosy complexion and steady and strong steps. He has obviously recovered quite well during this period and has not caused any trouble.
"how are you feeling?"
Zhang Xuezhou took the food, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it carefully while also asking Rong Tianding about his physical condition.
"I helped people catch pigs in the West Market yesterday. Guess what?" Rong Tianding said happily.
"Did you become the butcher of the West Market?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"No, no, it's because when I hold pig tails and legs, I feel the same as lifting a dog," Rong Tianding said, "My strength has increased a lot recently!"
"You have more demonic power now, which should have this side effect!"
Zhang Xuezhou could soar with the power of the bird demon, and it was normal for Rong Tianding to use the power of the dragon blood demon to increase his strength.
Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't be surprised if Rong Tianding's demon power can also bring some other small and wonderful uses.
As long as Rong Tianding can withstand this kind of demon power, he will definitely enjoy the convenience brought by the demon power.
This kind of convenience will not become a possible resistance until reaching the realm of supernatural powers, but there are only a few monks who can enter the realm of supernatural powers. Zhang Xuezhou is too lazy to think about these things in the future. After all, it is difficult for him to reach the realm of supernatural powers himself. And difficult.
When his abdomen was swollen, Zhang Xuezhou took a deep breath. Under the flow of mana in his acupoints, his Yang Soul did not leave his body.
This made Zhang Xuezhou slightly disappointed.
With the help of X432 repair technology, the fifth chapter of his spiritual strengthening chapter has not been completed, and it is obvious that he cannot achieve the ability of Yang Soul to leave the body.
This made Zhang Xuezhou miss Jiuzhen Wine a little.
But Zhang Xuezhou quickly put these thoughts behind him.
"What? Master Dong said that he is seriously ill and may die?"
"Yes, treat him as soon as he wakes you up!"
Rong Tianding brought a piece of news to Zhang Xuezhou, which made Zhang Xuezhou feel that Dong Zhongshu was really unlucky.
It was going well in Shujuncheng, but Ba Snake came.
Taking a boat down the river, I met the unlucky guy Su Fang.
When he entered Fuping County for bribery, he was caught by a petty official and put in jail.
It was not easy to enter Shanggu County, and there was no lack of confrontation with Li Guang.
When he returned to Chang'an City, Emperor Jing died. Dong Zhongshu did not mention that he was on duty despite being sick. After returning home, Shen Peigong came to ask for advice.
This request for advice made Dong Zhongshu's previous request to Li Guang use the Yuqing Zhen technique to suppress the effect come to naught.
After going around in circles for nearly two years, Dong Zhongshu finally returned to the state of forcibly attacking the solipsistic state.
"That's what happened," Rong Tianding said, spreading his hands.
"Master Dong will easily kill himself if he keeps doing this," Zhang Xuezhou hissed.
"Then he doesn't want to do this!"
Rong Tianding could not help but shake his head again and again.
The better he got to know Dong Zhongshu, the more balanced he felt.
Most monks in the Self-Impact Realm are not living well, but a young monk like him in the Pulse Pulse Realm has a bumpy fate, and he has adjusted his mentality very well to Rong Tianding.
The two of them talked to each other in low voices, and Zhang Xuezhou finally decided not to set up a stall in the West Market, but to go see Dong Zhongshu first. If Dong Zhongshu liked his Taiqing Zhenshu, Zhang Xuezhou would work as a coolie.
"Master Dong also said that he had no money to buy medicine, so I lent him three hundred and a half taels!"
"He doesn't have the habit of saving money. When it comes time to use it, he can't even take it out!"
"It seems we can't be like Mr. Dong!"
"That is required!"
…
The two of them talked while walking. Since they lacked money, they did not travel in a carriage. Zhang Xuezhou just assumed that after lying in bed for twelve days, he needed to move around to fully rejuvenate his body.
Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding walked from the West Market to the Dong Mansion on Guan Street for more than an hour.
I saw the Dong Mansion again. The collapsed mansion had been completely repaired.
But compared to the crowds of students in the past, the mansion seemed a bit deserted at this time, with few students gathered outside.
Zhang Xuezhou knocked on the door, but the door was not bolted, so he knocked open it directly.
In the courtyard, Dong Zhongshu was sitting on a wicker chair, basking in the sun on a hot day.
As if he didn't know whether it was hot or cold, Dong Zhongshu never went inside to shade himself even though he was sweating.
Seeing them pushing the door open and entering the house, Dong Zhongshu waved and smiled reluctantly at them.
"Is it okay for you to be exposed to the sun like this?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"I now...I can only rely on the sun to recuperate!"
Dong Zhongshu let out a long sigh.
Although it was just a matter of Jade Qing Zhenshu, Li Guang didn't help, and Dong Zhongshu couldn't do anything either.
Dong Zhongshu not only lacked people to help him perform the technique, he also lacked money to buy precious medicinal materials.
After spending all his royal salary and borrowed money, Dong Zhongshu only had the option of lying down in the sun to heal his body.
If it were not for an urgent illness and indiscriminate medical treatment, Dong Zhongshu would also think of methods such as strengthening the foundation and cultivating the body, instead of relying on Zhang Xuezhou's hemostasis method that treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
He coughed several times, and when he spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, Dong Zhongshu had no more thoughts in his mind and asked Zhang Xuezhou to help quickly.
"Fortunately this wasn't just a few days ago!"
After listening to Dong Zhongshu's explanation, Zhang Xuezhou felt that if Dong Zhongshu had asked him for treatment earlier, the treatment might have gotten worse and he would have ended up like Wei Shaoer.
But his luck is now stable. Not to mention bringing benefits to Dong Zhongshu, there is little possibility of harming Dong Zhongshu.
A Tai Qing Zhen technique fell, and Dong Zhongshu gasped for several breaths, and then he pushed his body up with all his strength.
Taiqingzhen's powerful treatment of internal and external injuries has at least stopped his current problem of coughing up blood.
"If you are not in good health, don't forcefully fight with others," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"It's not that I want to fight." Dong Zhongshu said with an ugly face: "It's like you don't want to fight, but a lunatic just stabs you with a knife. You can't beat you, you can't escape, and in the end you have to fight to save your life. Whoever encounters this situation They will be no different from me!"
"Is he that crazy?"
Zhang Xuezhou certainly knew very well who the 'madman' Dong Zhongshu mentioned was.
No matter how virtuous and respected he is, and how polite he is, no matter how well-educated a scholar is when it comes to the level of a dispute over ideas, he will not be soft-hearted and will argue dialectically until the final result is reached.
Dong Zhongshu's defeat proves that Dong Zhongshu's philosophy and path of practice are a joke.
Shen Peigong lost, which proved that Confucianism needed to be reformed. From then on, Dong Zhongshu's cultivation method was the main method.
Shen Peigong didn't mind losing, but he wanted to see where Dong Zhongshu won.
It was rare that he came to Chang'an in his later years and met with Dong Zhongshu to seek help. However, the results of the verification disappointed Shen Peigong.
Dong Zhongshu failed miserably. He was obviously not a suitable Confucian leader.
