Chapter 278: Reason

"'I can,' said the tortoise, and it grew bigger and bigger, and in a moment it became a great tortoise a foot long, and you sat on its back with courage, and it carried you ashore. The man said slowly.

It turned out to be exactly the same as the dream Xiao Diyuan had last night.

Xiao Diyuan stood up abruptly and asked, "What are you good at teaching?"

He replied calmly: "I am familiar with the heavens, humanity and the leylines of the earth, and I am good at the six Taos and three strategies, the deployment of troops and the occupation of the chacha. ”

Then it's no wonder that he can learn about Xiao Diyuan's dream last night.

Xiao Diyuan thought for a moment and said, "If I want you to teach a class, how are you going to teach it?"

"You're still too young to move around a lot outside, so I'd better come into the palace to teach. But there are two prerequisites for entering the palace to teach - I will not show my true face, I will teach you one-on-one, and no one else will be allowed to be present during the period. ”

"My father won't agree, it's a matter of my personal safety. Xiao Diyuan hesitated.

"I'm in the palace, if I really do something to you, how can I get out alive? Even if it's to save my life, I won't do it. Besides, with your cleverness, will you give me a chance?" the man smiled.

Xiao Diyuan thought about it and thought it was the same, so he asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Why do you want to be my teacher?

"That's secondary, the main thing is that I want to be your teacher. ”

"Why? I don't really have a shortage of teachers. ”

"Just because of you. ”

"Because of me?" Xiao Diyuan's eyes widened, and he said, "I don't know you. ”

The other party smiled slightly: "Anyway, my reason is so simple." ”

Xiao Diyuan felt as if he had entered a dream, and he had an indescribable sense of illusion about this person who appeared halfway and was unwilling to show his true face, as if what happened today was just a dream.

He could feel that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, and he wanted to give himself a chance, and also give the other party a chance.

In the end, Xiao Diyuan said: "Then you can follow me into the palace to see Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Diyuan's entourage was dumbfounded when they heard this, they felt that Xiao Diyuan was a little led by this person's nose, and they were worried that he would be in danger. But what can they say? Xiao Diyuan has Xiao Diyuan's reasons, and they may not be able to convince him.

Then let's not say it.

So, Xiao Diyuan took the man to meet Xiao Hong.

After listening to Xiao Diyuan's statement, Xiao Hong silently glanced at the man wearing a hat sitting in front of him, and said, "What is your name, where do you come from, what expertise do you have, and who did you learn from?"

Xiao Hong could also feel that the person in front of him was extraordinary, but it was not so easy to be the prince's teacher, so he had to understand this person's life experience in advance before making a decision.

The man replied calmly: "My name is Jingwu, and I am from a temple in the deep mountains of Cangzhou......"

Before Jingwu could continue, Xiao Hong leaned in and asked, "Are you a monk?"

Xiao Hong has always been very good to monks, and he feels that the realm of cultivators is higher than that of most ordinary people.

Shizugo shook his head lightly and explained: "I am an outcast, I was fortunate enough to be taken in by the abbot of the temple, so I lived in the temple, when I was sixteen years old, there was a fire in the temple, which burned the abbot and the monks in the temple, and I ran to sleep in the passage of the backyard that night because I felt that the house was too hot, so I was not burned to death, but I was also burned on my face, neck and hands, and my face was the most badly injured, so I have not dared to show my true face in front of people since then. ”

"How badly hurt?" Xiao Diyuan asked hurriedly.

"It's a hideous face, so I don't dare to show my true face, for fear of scaring people. Shizugo replied softly, and then Shizugo rolled up one of his sleeves to show them.

Then they saw the hideous scar on his arm, and they were less suspicious of him than they had before.

Shizugo continued, "When I found out that the temple was on fire, the whole temple was burning, especially in the front and back yards, and only the study in the northwest corner had not been burned, so I immediately went to put out the fire and saved the books in the study. For the next ten years, I did not leave there, I built a stone house on the site of the temple, moved all the books I had saved into it, and since then I have concentrated on reading and living a hard life. The host who took me in was very fond of reading during his lifetime, so he collected a lot of books, and I read the room of books in his collection over and over again for ten years, and I improved them day by day, and after ten years I knew them by heart. I left there after memorizing the contents of the collection, and began to travel about the north and south of the river, which lasted forty years, and now, I am sixty-six years old, and I feel that I have few years left, so I want to find a student worthy of teaching in my lifetime, and if I can find one, I will teach him what I have learned all my life without reservation. ”

Xiao Hong and Xiao Diyuan glanced at each other after hearing this.

"Why do you think he's worth your lesson?" Xiao Hong asked Jingwu.

"A feeling, I'm sure I can't be wrong. ”

Xiao Hong smiled slightly, but did not say anything.

Jingwu said: "If Your Majesty allows me to teach His Royal Highness, I promise to help him win more than two strategic competitions for the Dawn Kingdom." ”

If Jing Wu's previous words only slightly moved Xiao Hong, then Jing Wu's later words all lifted Xiao Hong's spirits, and Xiao Hong immediately became interested and asked, "How can you guarantee it?"

"If His Second Highness does not win more than two strategic competitions in the next fifteen years, I am willing to commit suicide in front of His Majesty and Second Highness. Shizugo replied calmly.

Xiao Hong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sir's words are too heavy. ”

Then Xiao Hong said: "Okay, since Mr. has this intention, I am also very happy, then you can teach the second prince from tomorrow." ”

And so it was settled.

From the next day, Jingwu came to give Xiao Diyuan a half-day lecture every three days, and Xiao Hong and Xiao Diyuan really respected his wishes and did not ask him to show his face.

After each lecture, Shizugo left the palace, and no one knew where he lived, and he didn't answer when asked.

Xiao Hong was not at ease later, so he still sent someone to Cangzhou according to the information provided by Jingwu to check, and found that there was indeed such a temple in Cangzhou, and there was indeed a fire there fifty years ago, and then a stone house was built there, as for whether the people living in the stone house are called Jingwu, the local people don't know, because the temple is located in the deep mountains, and people basically don't go there since the temple was burned.

Now, the people sent by Xiao Hong found that the stone house was still there, and the books in it were still neatly arranged, but the bedding on the bed and the curtains on the window rotted with a touch of their hands, which showed that there had been no one living here for a long time, but this was exactly what Jing Wu said, because Jing Wu said that he had been traveling north and south of the river for forty years.

The people sent by Xiao Hong told Xiao Hong what he had seen and heard, and Xiao Hong basically believed Jingwu's words, and he didn't ask Jingwu anything after that.
