23: The realm of sages
Sima Taiyuan has a master of the "Nine Manifestations Divine Sword", and his knowledge is not so shallow. But I also understand that the kung fu of Ming Yaolu is shocking.
In contrast, the "Nine Manifestations Divine Sword" can also do this kind of thing. But in Sima Taiyuan's opinion, even his own master can't do this kind of thing so lightly and skillfully. In other words, at least in terms of inner family cultivation, the beauty in front of him, who is like a fairy in the sky, is even better than the head of the Huashan faction?
The fear in my heart is deeper. Sima Taiyuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the little purple bamboo, and then asked politely, "May I ask the girl, what is this?"
Yutai Mingyao said: "Don't you want to explain, take this piece of purple bamboo back and give it to your head to watch." He'll know, of course. ”
didn't wait for Sima Taiyuan to answer, he walked straight and floated away indifferently.
On the treetops, Cheng Li, who watched the whole process from beginning to end, couldn't help but smile slightly. It's actually not bad that this thing can end like this.
In Cheng Li's view, after such a trouble, the so-called Wuyue Alliance was torn apart, and it simply existed in name only. Before, they also wanted to target themselves and use all kinds of small actions to drag themselves down. I don't think we can do that now.
As for how Sima Taiyuan and the people of Tianhe Road will clean up this mess after that, Cheng Li doesn't care at all.
Although the rivers and lakes are a corner of the country, they are only a corner after all. The most important thing now is to rush to the southeast as soon as possible and start fighting against the Japanese invasion. As for these disturbances on the rivers and lakes, Cheng Li didn't bother to pay attention to them at all.
Similarly, whether it is the young sect master of the Demon Temple who is dressed as a man and a woman, or Mingyao of the Tai Tai, their identities and backgrounds and temperaments are all extreme, but they are equally beautiful and outstanding. What do they want to do here, and what is their relationship with each other?
All this, Cheng Li is not without curiosity. In normal times, there is also a sense of inquiry. But for now, everything is still based on military intelligence.
Therefore, even if he left the temple, Cheng Li had no intention of tracking down this immortal and demon shuangshu. I just turned around and looked at the temple that was still brightly lit and boiling, and it was obvious that I was arguing again, took a deep look, sneered twice, and left.
Back in the barracks where the Yulin Army was temporarily stationed, it was almost three days. Cheng Li looked around, and everything seemed very quiet. I went over to ask the deputy general Cheng Weibo twice, but I didn't find anything abnormal. When Cheng Li put his mind at ease, he returned to his Chinese army barracks and fell asleep.
The next morning, Cheng Li got up on time. Just after washing and before starting to eat breakfast, suddenly a personal soldier hurriedly walked in and presented a letter of worship to Cheng Li, but it was the prefect of Tai'an Mansion who came to ask for a meeting.
Cheng Li couldn't help but feel strange. I just saw it yesterday, and today this Governor Zhang came over again, what do you want to do? Even if you are a sycophant, you don't need to be so attentive, right?
You need to know that although Cheng Li is a relative of the emperor. But when it comes to identity, it belongs to the military ministers. It is not a way to get officials from the prefect of Zhang, who passed the imperial examination.
Of course, in front of Cheng Li, the Duke of Yan and the general of the Yulin Army, the prefect of Zhang must maintain the courtesy. But in terms of its substance, Governor Zhang doesn't need to be too polite. Because Cheng Li can't affect the future of a prefect's official, whether this prefect Zhang is promoted, demoted, or relocated, Cheng Li has nothing to do.
I couldn't figure it out in a blink of an eye, and Cheng Li didn't bother to think about it anymore. At that moment, he waved his hand and ordered his own soldiers to invite the prefect in, and at the same time called the deputy general Cheng Weibo to his side in case of emergency.
Adjutant General Cheng Weibo just came in and sat down under Cheng Li. The pro-soldier also led the prefect of Zhang's mansion, and another middle-aged man walked in.
Cheng Li's eyes were immediately attracted by the middle-aged man. said that he was "middle-aged", but in fact, this man was at most in his early thirties. He was covered in nothing, without any slightly ornate, slightly expensive decorations. He was just wearing ordinary burlap clothes, his hair was tied with a wooden hairpin, a straw rope was casually tied around his waist as a belt, and straw sandals were pedaled under his feet. From any point of view, it looks like a farmer everywhere in the countryside.
However, on the straw rope belt of this farmer, there is a waist tag, indicating his true identity - one of the six doors.
In addition, this man's appearance seems to be very ordinary at first glance. But if you look closely, you will feel that this person is very special and eye-catching everywhere. But if you really want to say what is special about this person, very few people can say.
Cheng Li is different. Cheng Li can tell. Under Cheng Li's spiritual induction, it can be easily detected that this man's whole body and mind fit seamlessly inside and out, without any unhappiness and conflict. It presents a state of harmony that can only be seen in an ideal way.
To put it simply, Confucian disciples, everyone worships Confucius. Everyone is working in the direction of the Confucian sages. Self-cultivation, governing the family, Qi country, and leveling the world. We must establish our hearts for heaven and earth, for the people, for the sake of the saints, and for the eternal peace.
But it's easy to shout slogans, but it's even harder to really do it. And sometimes, either because of external environmental influences, or because of internal self-reasons. So there are some problems that everyone knows how to deal with them best, but often they just can't be done.
However, if someone knows what to do, then he will do it without compromising at all. And it has been for decades, and it has never wavered in any way. Moreover, he himself does not feel that this is very special, nor is it to win anyone's admiration or amazement, but from the bottom of his heart that he should do this, then there is no doubt that this is already the realm of "sages".
In Confucian terms, this state is "the unity of knowledge and action." Confucius said that "seventy and do as you like, do not exceed the rules". That's pretty much what it means.
A person who can have such a sage realm, no matter how ordinary he is, but in the eyes of others, he immediately shows that he is extraordinary. This kind of person either doesn't practice martial arts, and once he does, he will definitely be at least a top master.
Not for the prefect of Taean. Simply for this ordinary and special man. Cheng Li immediately stood up and greeted the other party. He clasped his hands into fists and saluted, "I'm Cheng Li." Please ask your name. ”
Between the ordinary man's eyebrows, there was a hint of surprise. You must know that the mental method he cultivates is very special, and even if ordinary people know his identity, it is often difficult for them to see any clues from him. It is only when he really faces his enemies that he shows that he is extraordinary.
But Cheng Li and himself only met, and immediately discovered something special about himself, it is conceivable that Cheng Li's spiritual cultivation is at least no less than himself.
Despite this, this ordinary man did not have the slightest hint of fear or vigilance. He was just simple, and he also greeted Cheng Li with a fist. Ning said: "The Yamen of Tai'an Prefecture is head-catching, and Li Xuan has discussed Yan Guogong. ”
Cheng Li was stunned again, and blurted out: "Li Xuanyi, you are the king of arrest, Li Xuanyi?"
