Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Sima Sect Leader said: "In fact, when Jiang Zhaojun was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, many things were already beyond his control. Not to mention Pavilion Master Ji, even I was generally at a loss. According to what I saw, the chaos in the Fengyun Alliance back then , there are two real culprits. The first is the long-standing contradiction between the orthodox and the heretical. The orthodox people always regard themselves as orthodox and look down on the heretical people. Naturally, they are prone to secret suspicion. This festival has been around for a long time, but it just happens to happen. The conflict between Huashan disciples and Fengyun Village members just exposed this issue."
Yao Yunyang said: "Hmph! Famous sects such as Diancang, Wudang, Shaolin, Emei, Qingcheng, etc. have a long history and profound foundation. Not to mention martial arts attainments, even Buddhism, Taoism, etiquette and behavior, temperament and conversation, which one... Isn’t it true that the heretics can’t compare to them? It’s common knowledge that they are not as good as the upright people from famous families. Since they are just a dwarf, they just accept their identity obediently. How can they still have the nerve to go against the upright people on this basis?”
Hearing this, Mo Li couldn't help but think to himself, anyone who is not from a famous family would probably be dissatisfied after hearing Yao Yunyang's remarks today. Would it be strange if he wasn't angry?
However, Yanjiang City shook his head and said: "This is a bad statement. Even among the heretical people, there are many talented people. Head Yao's statement is too much."
Lou Yongyue also said: "As Brother Yan said, Lou doesn't think there is an absolute distinction between the two."
Yao Yunyang retorted: "There are some who are talented, but they are just rare. There are only good works occasionally. Yao asked everyone, looking at the entire martial arts world, are the outstanding top figures mostly disciples of famous families or left-right figures?"
Xiao Yao didn't want to see his master making enemies everywhere, so he quickly asked Sima Sect Leader: "What about the second one?"
Sect Leader Sima did not intend to argue on the topic just now, but continued: "Secondly, in a chaotic situation, there are always people who are afraid of the world being in chaos, waiting for opportunities to gain profits from it. These people do not care about death or injury, which intensifies the contradiction between the two. , and that’s when the situation got out of hand.”
At this time, Mo Li knew full well that the sect leader's words "those who fear that the world will not be in chaos" were alluding to Tianji Pavilion, but Ji Cangran just nodded in agreement as if nothing had happened. Seeing that Ji Cangran was unmoved, Sima Zongzong said sincerely: "The problem between the orthodox and the left has been around for a long time. It is frozen three feet, and it will never be cold in a day. According to my opinion, manpower is sometimes poor, and this issue is not about manpower." can change.”
Yanjiang City was quite interested in this topic and asked, "Why do you see it?"
Sect Master Sima replied: "The contradiction between the two sides stems from the innate differences between people. Some people are born smart and clever, while others are dull and mediocre. Even if their qualifications are not far apart, acquired family education, peers, and Different circumstances will inevitably lead to differences between superior and inferior, and there will be conflicts between superior and inferior, because what they see and hear is inherently different. Even the most powerful emperor or the hero who is admired by everyone will not be the same. It is difficult to eradicate the contradictions caused by differences.”
Ji Cangran seemed a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "I didn't expect Sima Sect Leader to have such a pessimistic attitude. Since the dispute cannot be eliminated, wouldn't it be in vain for the Sima family to travel around the world and work hard for decades?"
Sect Leader Sima said calmly: "No, although disputes are difficult to eradicate, the journey to the end of the world still begins with a single step. Saving one person is better than not saving at all, and saving ten people is better than one. Acting chivalrously and righteously is by no means in vain. .”
Ji Cangran was silent for a moment. Just when everyone thought he was noncommittal and was about to express no opinion, he suddenly said: "If there is a way to eradicate the disputes once and for all, Sima Sect Master is willing to participate in this grand event?"
Sect Master Sima raised his eyebrows and asked, "I would like to hear the details?"
Ji Cangran paused for a moment, then just smiled and said: "What I just did was just a bit of whim, and I didn't have any good ideas in mind."
Sect Master Sima nodded and continued: "I don't think there is a once and for all solution, so we can't talk about 'joint participation in this grand event'."
When Mo Li saw Ji Cangran's words coming to his lips, he swallowed them hard. Although he felt that there must be something fishy in it, he couldn't figure it out for the moment.
After that, everyone talked more about martial arts anecdotes. Sima Sect Leader and Mo Li saw that Ji Cangran was tight-lipped. No matter how he made insinuations, he always accepted the situation and ignored the important. The two had to give up for the time being. However, Mo Li was not convinced of the "once and for all method" that Ji Cangran had just said. I was quite curious, so I still paid attention to it secretly and kept this matter in my heart.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone stopped talking about the Fengyun Alliance and only talked about celebrities and anecdotes in today's martial arts world. However, the leaders of the two factions still faced each other tit for tat and competed with each other whenever they had the opportunity. Whenever the two of them returned to their old ways, Yan One of Jiang Cheng and Xiao Yao must have changed the subject and extinguished the fire as soon as possible, and Li Li could not help but secretly sympathize with their good intentions.
After everyone had had enough wine and food, they returned to Baihua Academy. Although Mo Li felt that tonight's banquet ended peacefully, and it was good that peace was the most important thing, it was a little too peaceful, except for the small dispute between the heads of the two factions. Apart from making small fuss, the two people from Tianji Pavilion came here and even had a meal without making any movement. Such a cessation only made Mo Li even more uneasy.
Early the next morning, Mo Lifu went outside the door of the sect master's chamber and heard the sound of people talking. When he got closer, he saw a gray-robed scholar with a paper fan in his hand and a bamboo basket behind his back. He was the third master of the family. Cheng Zixian! At this time, he was talking to Mei Fengjun, Yuqin, and Tao Baicheng, and they seemed to be having a good time talking to each other. Only Yuqin had a subtle expression, not knowing whether he was happy or worried, which aroused Mo Li's curiosity. When these four people got together, But I don’t know what to talk about so enthusiastically?
Li Qiye stepped forward with a smile and said hello: "Third brother!"
When Cheng Zixian saw Mo Li, he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he shook his head and pretended to be deep in thought. Everyone didn't know why and could only wait to see what he had to say. After a while, Cheng Zixian took off the bamboo basket behind him and stretched out his hand to touch the bamboo basket. The basket was rummaged around.
At this time, Mei Fengjun and Mo Li already knew what his intention was. Mei Fengjun smiled and said, "Li'er, your third brother is going to give you a book again!"
As expected, Cheng Zixian took out a book not long after, handed it to Mo Li, and said, "Second brother, take this book back and read it carefully."
Mo Li took a closer look and saw the eight-character "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" written on the cover. Mo Li had never read this book before. He was slightly stunned at first, and then asked: "Third brother, what is this?"
Cheng Zixian folded a fan and read leisurely: "This book tells the story of a poor scholar, Zhang Sheng, who fell in love with a beautiful woman, Cui Yingying."
When he heard that this was a love story, Mo Li's face turned red and he guessed that everyone must be talking about Yuqin and himself. Cheng Zixian said again: "This story is taken from the work of Yuan Zhen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. "Huizhen Ji", in the story, after a passionate pursuit, Zhang Sheng finally fell in love with Cui Yingying, who was as beautiful as a fairy. However, he later regretted his luck and said that Cui Yingying was a disaster for the world and that his "virtue was not enough to defeat the evildoer." , the two ended up becoming strangers and never saw each other again."
After saying that, he put away his fan, shook his head and sighed.
Mo Li seemed to have realized something and asked: "Yes, I think third brother wants to remind me that I should treat my lover with loyalty until the end. Don't you change your mind and become that unkind person?"
Cheng Zixian looked confused and shook his head: "No, no! Although this "The Romance of the West Chamber" is taken from "The Romance of Huizhen", the ending has been rewritten by others. Zhang Sheng in "The Romance of the West Chamber" later passed through Cui Yingying's mother After passing the test, I became the number one scholar in high school and was finally able to marry Cui Yingying as my wife. Lovers will eventually get married. Your third brother just wants to wish you a speedy..."
Li Qiye already felt bad after hearing the last few words. When he heard the last few words, he knew whether to let him speak anymore. He quickly covered Cheng Zixian's mouth with one hand and said: "Okay, okay! The second brother knows that the third brother has good intentions." Ku, let’s talk about the two factions and Tianji Pavilion!”
Then I couldn't help but take a peek at Yuqin, and saw that she had turned her face away, pretending not to notice the "West Chamber" they were talking about, but the tip of her slightly exposed ear was already red.
Tao Baicheng on the side saw for the first time the ambiguous relationship between Mo Li and Yu Qin, which was "all in words". Although he did not dare to laugh out loud, he also felt that the two people's anxious expressions were... It is quite different from their usual image, very interesting and friendly.
