Chapter 112 Ten Philosophies in Xunyang Building
The next day, a light rain fell in Xunyang City.
With the spring rain hitting the whole city, there is also an amazing news that the eldest son of the Chu family was arrested, and the pair of old and young who openly committed the murder are said not only did not flee, but entered Xunyang Tower without fear.
The neighbors who live near the restaurant know in advance in the middle of the night. The violent shaking of the earth, and the series of screams of breaking the air and howling in pain, all indicate that a great upheaval is invading here.
This excitement was intermittent throughout the second half of the night.
Before dawn, the houses around Xunyang Tower were empty, and most residents chose to take shelter from afar, making it an empty city.
The imposing lintel of the restaurant should have been knocked down by the figures that were blasted out by the shock, and the two wooden doors also collapsed in the mud, and even the threshold was not spared, trampled by the fierce visitors, and shattered into countless debris.
In front of Xunyang Tower in the early morning, it was a mess.
In the private room on the second floor, Ren Zhen sat by the window, looking at the quiet and unmanned street in the drizzle, his eyes were foggy, but it was not because he didn't wake up. At night, groups of killers attacked one after another, and he couldn't sleep, so he simply drank with his master all night.
At this moment, he was full of alcohol, his face was red, he was already drunk, and his speech was a little slurred. The requests for accommodation and drinking were all made by him on his own initiative, and he was the one who couldn't bear it.
Dong Zhongshu's cheeks were slightly flushed, but his body was stable, not swaying like Ren Zhen. He fiddled with the peanut shells on the table, not tired, just slightly bored.
He didn't quite understand why he didn't directly grab Gongzi Chu and break into the Chu Mansion to kill people and seize money, but toss here for a night. However, he didn't say much, and only thought that he was a young man pretending to be profound, and he wanted to put on a show.
"Teacher, you're so strong......"
Ren Zhen smiled, drunken eyes, and Meng Lang shook his thumb.
This night, no matter how many strong people the Chu family sent, Hugh said that if he broke into the room, as long as he stepped on the second floor, he stomped his feet lightly, and those people were either shocked and flew out, or they were stunned on the spot, and none of them were spared.
This is the majesty of the saint. Ordinary characters in the rivers and lakes are not only not qualified to let him shoot, but it is even difficult to see the true face of the deity.
After several temptations, the Chu family finally realized that this time it was a raptor crossing the river, and a master descended on Xunyang City. After sending four or five elders, they were still shocked back, they gave up the frontal confrontation, but they were unwilling to give up, and persistently sent their men to attack and harass at night.
Now, it's dawn, and if nothing else, the sword tyrant Chu madman will soon come to the door in person to rescue his precious son.
Dong Zhongshu looked at Ren Zhen's ugly appearance and said indifferently: "You are also very strong." If you can understand the spring and autumn of 720 years, you are much stronger than me. ”
This night, he took the opportunity to consult Ren Zhen and solved many problems in "Spring and Autumn" and benefited a lot. Of course, he didn't know that many of Ren Zhen's explanations were actually wrong and contrary to the true meaning.
He didn't know that Ren Zhen's drunken words were actually hidden in a lot of temptations that he didn't expect. What Ren Zhen is most concerned about is his recent progress in cultivation and the plan in his heart for the future of the world.
This night, Ren Zhen deeply felt that Dong Zhongshu's ambition and strength were too terrifying. In the eyes of this person, even Confucianism and imperial power are just tools to be used, and what he really pursues is the position of the king and the supreme respect!
Once he is allowed to step into the ninth realm and gain another five hundred years of life, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Ren Zhen took a break from drinking, rolled his eyelids, and said, "Teacher, I still have a doubt, and I have always wanted to ask you." Now that I'm your apprentice, I want to know the answer......"
"Say it."
"When I was practicing in Xiling before, I heard some legendary stories about the Ten Philosophers. I want to know what those brothers really are. ”
As he spoke, he smacked his lips and showed a smile, "They are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and their temperaments are unfathomable, and I am just a wine bag and rice bag, I'm really afraid that I will offend them in the future......"
His words were reasonable, as if he was inquiring about the tempers of the senior brothers and preparing for future interactions, but in fact he was testing Dong Zhongshu's attitude towards them.
Dong Zhongshu looked at the ethereal rain curtain outside the window, and muttered for a long time, and his eyes seemed to be covered with mist, which was elusive.
"Let's talk about your senior brother first. Yan Yuan has a docile temperament, forbearance and stability, and can be regarded as a number one. 'The gentleman hides his weapon in his body and moves when the time comes', referring to people like him. Speaking of which, even I can't figure out the true details of him, so don't bother with it......"
His expression was gloomy, obviously telling Ren Zhen, but it was more like talking to himself.
"In comparison, the second child is much simpler. Yan Yuan can join the family, and Yuan Fang is good at governing the country. I don't need to say much about his resourcefulness, you should have heard a lot of it. He is the most trusted teacher. The reason why Confucianism has today's excellent situation is that he has made a lot of efforts. ”
Faced with a stupid and drunk young man, he rarely spoke eloquently, and with a hint of alcohol, he confided his prejudices that had never been revealed.
"The third child has passed away, so I won't talk about it anymore. Next is the fourth, you were born in Xiling, so you naturally know Zhao Qianqiu best. The window contains Xiling Qianqiu snow, the fourth child has a hot temperament on the outside and cold on the inside, and he is disabled, and his thoughts are often distorted, I don't like him. ”
Ren Zhen's wine was surging at this time, his face turned even redder, and he secretly slandered himself, "I thought you were so smart, but now it seems that you really have a mouse eye, and you don't know Taishan......
Dong Zhongshu glanced at him, snorted lightly, and continued to comment: "The old five seals are thousands of miles, and he has a strong temperament, just like you, and his ambition is also flat in the world. His shortcomings are obvious, irritable, and impulsive, so he acts the most uncomforting to me. ”
Ren Zhen was silent, holding his head with his hands, not knowing if he was asleep.
"Sixth Xue Drinking Bing, you shouldn't have heard of it very much. He is the son of a family in the capital, and it is inevitable that he will be contaminated with some delinquent style. I don't like him, his mind is full of pride and chivalry, and he is too close to the outlaws of the Mo family. He has a sister who is famous, about the same age as you......"
Dong Zhongshu frowned, thinking of other people and things, his expression was disdainful and hateful, and he quickly skipped this section, "Then there is your seventh senior brother, he acts quite like a teacher......"
At this moment, a violent voice suddenly came from downstairs, interrupting his comment.
"Chu madman is here, please come out and meet your friends in the building!"
Ren Zhen was awakened at this time, so he stood up and looked downstairs.
On the street, the strong man of the Chu family was overwhelmed, surrounding the entire restaurant.
The leader is tall and mighty, with blonde hair and a shawl, and a striking scar on his face, staring coldly at the window, obviously a sword tyrant.
Ren Zhen glanced at the Chu madman, beckoned, and said, "If you want to save your son, get up by yourself." ”
With that, he sat back down at the table and disappeared from the sight of everyone below.
