There is actually nothing deep in the forest like Xinghuaxiping, except for some flat ground under the trees at the end of the forest path and some stone tables and chairs.
It's already June in the world, so naturally there can't be any more apricot blossoms.
When Yun Huzhi came with the oil lamp, he saw many oil lamps lying idle under the trees.
Mr. Xie, who was like that back then, came here all the way holding a lantern and sat there for a long time.
In fact, it is no secret that Mr.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the gentlemen in the courtyard rarely come in to disturb Mr. Qingniu Yuan who seems to be quite lazy.
Probably only Mr. Mei would come here to make trouble.
Yun Huzi held the oil lamp and stood quietly on the path.
Oil lamps may indeed have some special meaning.
When a young man under an umbrella first came to the courtyard, the gentleman asked Mr. Mei for an oil lamp.
At that time, the young man was naturally confused and asked Mr. Mei, shouldn't Mr. Xie be a practitioner? Why do you need to light an oil lamp when walking at night?
At that time, Mr. Mei told the young man that Mr. Xie said that he was practicing.
But of course, Mr. Mei may not really know what it is to cultivate and what it is to do.
The night wind in the apricot forest was rustling, blowing many dry leaves, rolling around in the forest.
Unknown to Yunhu, he suddenly saw something under an apricot tree - Mr. Mei was right. Walking in the night with an oil lamp, he would naturally see things more clearly.
It was a piece of paper that was wet and dirty from the rain.
The scholar walked over with the oil lamp in hand, bent down under the tree, and picked up the piece of paper.
There were a lot of messy things written on it, but the gentleman probably had been upset, and finally erased all the writing, leaving only the last few words.
The great road is useless, but there is benevolence and righteousness.
This is one of the five thousand words of Qing Niu.
But in fact, it also has some more detailed sentences, which are the words of the Nineteen Chapters that are heard in the world today.
Absolute sage and discard wisdom will benefit the people a hundredfold. Absolute benevolence and righteousness are abandoned, and the people return to filial piety and kindness. If you throw away the advantage of a perfect skill, there will be no thieves. These three people think that the literature is not enough, so they are ordered to belong to others, they are simple and simple, and they have few selfish desires.
Yunhu didn't know how to look at the crumpled paper soaked in rain and snow for a long time.
This is not something meaningful.
It's just a Taoist's handwriting of self-resolution while sitting quietly and meditating.
The scholar walked to the stone table with such a piece of paper, turned the paper over, raised his hand and twisted it on the wick of the oil lamp until his fingers were black.
Yunhu didn't know that his finger was like a pen, and he quietly looked at the piece of paper abandoned in the rain and snow for a long time, and then calmly wrote a line of words using the color of ink on his finger.
My heart longs for it, but I can't get there.
This was probably the scholar's answer to such a Taoist act.
There were some slight footsteps in the apricot forest.
Yun Hu, who had been deep in thought, raised his head and realized that Yao Ji had arrived in the apricot forest at some point.
The divine power of this ancient Chu goddess was extremely strong. Sitting there quietly, the scholar felt as if he was standing on the side of the River Styx.
Yao Ji looked at the paper on the stone table quietly, then raised her head, looked at Yun Hu and asked in a calm tone: "Why can't you come?"
Yunhu lowered his head and looked at the sentence he had just written. He was silent for a long time, then looked at Yao Ji and said: "It is undeniable that Hangu Temple has indeed brought a new era to the world. It's just that How can there be something in the world that is always right? The words of a sage may not be the sound of insipidity. Abandoning the road and abandoning cleverness can certainly bring temporary stability. But the world is like a boat against the current. If it is really thousands Ten thousand years are like one day, and his life is like death.”
Yao Ji just looked at the scholar quietly.
Yun Hu didn't know that he might indeed have a softer temper than Qing Xiang and others. After being silent for a while, he said softly: "The Taoist repeats rather than indulges. The words in Chapter 19 believe that there is more than enough in the spiritual realm, but it can only be practiced in the human world. , perhaps it is indeed an extremely fallacious choice.”
Yao Ji looked at the prime minister's student quietly.
If he were such a scholar, he would probably have started to curse when he said this.
But Yunhu was still very peaceful.
Yunhu waited for an unknown amount of time, but still did not hear Yao Ji's voice. The scholar raised his head and looked at the ancient Chu goddess seriously in the light of the oil lamp.
"What does the goddess think?"
Yao Ji turned around calmly and looked at the night in the forest.
"What you said is indeed right. But Yunhu doesn't know."
"People in the world cannot live well in this life relying only on principles. The more people talk about principles, the more they distinguish between right and wrong, they often will not live a satisfactory life."
Yunhu fell silent.
"Even if everyone in the world is reasonable, the disasters in the world are also unreasonable. Mountains will collapse and water will flood. If you walk in the rain at night holding an umbrella, you may slip and fall and die on the road. . Do you think this kind of thing is reasonable to the world? If the sky is broken, people will die, the earth will sink, and the world will only be able to hold driftwood and float on the sea. Nothing in the world will not happen. Therefore, in your Dao scriptures in the human world, there are words that humans follow the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature. As heaven and earth naturally do, people in the world can only do so. So in fact, when I look at your words of the Tao of the world, it is nothing more than Talk about not fighting, talk about complying."
Yun Hu looked at the woman in black dress in Lin Zi with some surprise.
There are many books in Xuanxu Courtyard, but he really never thought that Yao Ji would read the Taoist scriptures in the human world.
The ancient Chu goddess looked back at the scholar and continued: "The world resists the domination of gods and ghosts in the name of Taoism, but never thought that such a Taoist temple had already told all the answers many years ago. you."
Yunhu smiled softly and said: "Yes, I never thought that you, Goddess, have actually read the human Taoist scriptures. It's just that at the beginning, I already said, the words of the sages, This may not be true. The stories that can be seen in the world two thousand years ago are naturally different from what can be seen in the world today. We never question the contribution of our ancestors to future generations, but the limitations of the times will always make They can't see many things clearly. The world is not a family, and the world is not a solid place. People in Hangu Temple may not have ridiculed the wild people who were frightened when they saw fire for the first time. But the meaning of civilization lies in this, always You must first see fire before you can understand fire. I think the most beautiful story in the world is that of the Taoist saint who accidentally woke up from the River Styx, looked at the current world, and watched him run for it to find the solution. The confused people were saying in amazement - So this is it!"
The scholar from Xuanxuyuan looked at Yao Ji very seriously.
"Humans and ghosts and gods are different after all, my lord."
When Yao Ji heard such words, she turned back and looked up quietly at the faint yellow mountain range in the distant night.
There are ancient rivers in the mountains, carrying the life and death of people in the world.
"If he wakes up by chance and just looks at the world sadly, Yunhu, I don't know, will your heart be broken?"
The scholar sat there in a daze.
After a long time, the scholar said in disbelief: "Has the goddess met the Taoist saint?"
Yao Ji said calmly: "Maybe so."
The river up and down the Styx is nothing more than the human world.
This is what Emperor Huai proved back then.
It may indeed be possible for such a goddess who resurrected from the River Styx to have seen the last generation of Hangu Temple's master in the human world under the River Styx.
Yao Ji didn't seem to want to mention such a story in the River Styx, but said calmly: "It is undeniable that there is endless hope in the mud. But even if you reach the top of the mountain, it is just a dead end. That's the same as living and dying. It's better to drag your tail in Tu. At least you can be at ease."
Yao Ji walked calmly outside the apricot forest.
"In a small country with few people, it is necessary to have a few weapons but not use them; to make the people die again and not move far away. Although there are boats and carriages, there is nothing to ride on them; although there are armor and soldiers, there is nothing to display them. Let people knot ropes again and use them. . The food they eat is pleasant, the clothes they wear are beautiful, their homes are safe, and their customs are happy. Neighboring countries look at each other, hear each other's cries of chickens and dogs, and the people do not interact with each other until they grow old and die."
Yao Ji stopped at the entrance of the trail, standing in the shadow of a forest of swaying trees, looking back at Yun Hu Wenzhu quietly.
"This is the 80th chapter of the Five Thousand Words of the Blue Ox in your world. I think such a world should be very good."
Yunhu sat in front of the stone table in silence, and after a long time, he spoke sincerely and firmly.
"I feel bad."
...
The storm in Huaidu has come to an end.
This vast city is once again prosperous but also peaceful.
Peace in the world is naturally the best thing in the world.
Living and working in peace and contentment is always a compliment that never expires in a world where people live.
Gu Xiaoer squatted at the door of the noodle shop in the early morning mist with a bowl of noodles, and ate happily.
This is undoubtedly an excellent sign, so inevitably a few people who were just passing by looked at the waiter with a rag on his shoulders, eating such a fragrant bowl of noodles, swallowing saliva, and walked into the store. Asked for noodles.
Gu Xiaoer thought proudly, what is the quality of an old artist.
In fact, the bowl of noodles was very carelessly prepared, and there wasn't even enough ingredients. After all, it was just boiling water and trying a bowl first.
But Gu Xiaoer still squatted at the door of the noodle shop, slurping noodles.
As the night in the streets and alleys of Huaidu was really crushed by the crowd, the noodle shop gradually became lively.
Gu Xiaoer also put down his bowls and chopsticks and started busy early in the morning.
The steam in the back kitchen was steaming, and bowl after bowl of noodles were delivered to the front.
In the early morning, the business of the noodle shop is naturally very good. After all, it is the best thing to be able to simply eat a bowl of delicious noodles so early in the morning.
It was busy until almost noon, and the noodle shop gradually became quiet.
A group of waiters were leaning against the window, eating melon seeds and chatting leisurely, watching the people coming and going outside the window chatting.
Some people thought of Zhu Congwen and then looked at Gu Xiaoer.
"Second brother, you said that boy Zhu Congwen shouldn't be bullied in the Imperial College."
Gu Xiaoer was wiping the table and said with a smile: "That's not true. I went to the Imperial College before. Although I couldn't get in, I still had Zhu Congwen called over. Don't tell me, he seems fat. I’ve eaten some, and I think the food is much better than in our noodle shop.”
Of course, it may also be because of the stories of the past few days, which made such a scholar worry all day long and inevitably lose weight. After everything returns to normal, his complexion will naturally improve.
Everyone was talking and joking around.
"You said that if he really becomes a high official in the future, should we be more disciplined and call him master?"
Gu Xiaoer said angrily: "If this kid dares to show off in front of our brothers, do you think I can smash his skull!"
"Hahahahahaha."
People on the street looked at the waiters in the noodle shop with strange expressions, not knowing what they were laughing at.
Taking advantage of some leisure time, Gu Xiaoer moved a stool, ran to the door of the store, sat down, and then touched something in his arms.
When the waiter in the store saw Gu Xiaoer like this, he asked curiously: "Second brother, what are you looking for? Is it some hidden private money?"
Gu Xiaoer smiled and took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it. Suddenly there was an uneaten persimmon inside.
The waiters naturally didn't know what this meant, so they didn't pay attention and continued to talk nonsense.
If everything goes well, everything goes as expected.
The smile on Gu Xiaoer's face did gradually disappear.
In fact, he did not see Zhu Congwen in the Imperial College that time.
The scholar was probably busy reading, so he was not free.
...
"In the nine hundred and ninety-third year, it was in Sophora Capital that Li Shi met Mr. Xie who came from Xuansheyuan."
Liu Qinghe looked at the human streets in front of him and said with a smile.
"So it was at that time that some stories in the human world began to move towards the view of mountains and rivers."
Next to the Lord of Hell, stood calmly the human emperor in black robes.
Their eyes were falling on the long street that looked very ordinary. There was a wine shop on the long street that had been open for many years. Even Liu Qinghe and Shenhe might not remember that it had been opened. How many years.
But what people don't remember, some words may not be remembered.
"Liu Sanyue was there back then."
Kamigawa spoke calmly.
A young Taoist with such a beautiful appearance fell into a passionate emotion that could change his life in such a long and confusing long street, like sparks wandering from the sky.
Of course Liu Qinghe knew that Shenhe didn't mean that Liu Sanyue was one of them.
He knew very well that His Majesty actually liked such a Taoist from Qingtian Taoism. Otherwise, how could a Taoist become the Minister of War in Huaidu?
"It was precisely because Liu Sanyue was here that some things were recorded."
Liu Qinghe said softly.
Such a Taoist who was just three months old back then, after a long period of shock, turned around and found that the Taoist brother who was walking around the world with him was missing.
He first went to find Zhang Xiaoyu who was standing by the street vendor, waiting to eat fried rice cakes and baked buns. At that time, Zhang Xiaoyu only had a Taoist robe on his body, and was not dressed in white like that. He stood upright and orderly. There, even though I was looking forward to it, I just secretly rubbed my hands in the sleeves of my robe.
It's a pity that such a young man was probably too absorbed in waiting, but he didn't notice where his senior brother had gone.
As for Chen Qingshan.
Not to mention that short-sighted person, when he looks at the lights in the world, they are all colorful, just like looking at a fogged mirror.
"Although it is unlikely that anything big will happen in Huaidu." Liu Qinghe said softly. "But after all, it was Li Shi, the most talented person of this generation in the Taoist sect. Both Siwu Demon Mansion and Tian Yu helped to find him."
The Lord of Hell looked at the door of the wine shop.
"It is said that Li Shi was found here. He was in a daze at that time. However, after all, Li Shi is a member of Guanzong, and his acting style is more biased toward missing one. He has always been relatively quiet, so no one paid attention to this Taoist. Why did you suddenly appear here?"
Kamigawa listened quietly, and then said: "What happened next?"
Liu Qinghe sighed.
"It was an unintentional move by Tiangong Division back then."
"Xie Cangsheng came to Huaidu on behalf of Xuanxu Academy. The Tiangong Secretary was naturally very curious about such an academy that dominated the world with culture. He was especially curious about the departments of Mathematics and Physics and Fengwu Academy, so he wanted to thank him. Cangsheng went to the Tiangong Division to have a chat. Only then did he discover the intersection between the two hidden in the years."
The human world is the human world for everyone in the world.
Even if this is the co-owner of today's world, it is naturally impossible to really look at everything.
At this point, Kamigawa finally understood the context of these events back then.
It was precisely because of this unexpected move by the Tiangong Division that a story that should have been buried was unearthed by everyone over the years.
Liu Qinghe took out some case files from his arms and flipped them there while saying: "Xie Cangsheng went to Xuanxu Academy to enroll on his own back then. Later, because of his superior talent, he was recommended to Qingtian Road. For some reason, Before entering the avenue, he left Qingtian Road twenty-one years ago, returned to Xuanxuyuan, and became a teacher of Qingniuyuan. It is worth mentioning that when he filled in his place of birth when he entered school, this person wrote A whole East China Sea."
Kamigawa said calmly: "Xie Chaoyu should have had a wife when he was in the world?"
Liu Qinghe nodded and said, "Yes, but he has been dead for many years."
The human emperor stood there quietly looking at the long streets of the human world. After a long time, he slowly said: "The fleet of Kanhaiya in the East China Sea should be returning soon."
Liu Qinghe nodded and said: "Already on the way."
Kamigawa turned around and left this hanging street.
"Let Xie Chaoyu take them to Huaidu."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
Seeing the Divine River in Huaidu is naturally not the same as seeing the Divine River in a small town in the East China Sea.
In the human world there are three swords.
Your Majesty is in Huaidu.
