【Leave】

Love seems to be like that magic spell, it can make you happy and sleepless all night because of it, it can also make you collapse instantly because of it, it can inspire a person's infinite fighting spirit, but also can consume a person's strong will, it is something that everyone dreams of wanting, it is sometimes something that everyone is afraid of and avoids, it is so magical, it feels so mysterious, people don't know what it looks like, whether it is a glamorous fairy, or a demon with green faces and fangs, Everyone wants to unveil the mystery of love, but no one can do it.

Liu Bei in Songshan during this time, it can be said that he has experienced the ups and downs of life, to be able to meet Xue'er in this life is the happiest thing in his life, to be able to get Xue'er's heart in this life, is the most honorable thing in his life, he still can't forget those days with Xue'er, laundry, cooking, reading, writing, picking fruits on trees, fishing in the water, every memory is so beautiful, and every small fragment of life related to Xue'er has been deeply integrated into Liu Bei's blood and bone marrow, A moment to make him happy, a moment to make him lost, he will always wake up in a dream, the sentence 'the mountain has trees and branches, the heart is happy and you don't know' always lingers in Liu Bei's ears, every night, Liu Bei will also sit alone by the stream, holding Xue'er's handkerchief, looking at the bright moon in the sky through it, closing his eyes, as if Xue'er is by his side, she has never left.

Liu Bei's frustrated mood, anyone can feel it, to be honest, for Liu Deran, he does feel deep sympathy for Liu Bei's feelings, the embroidered handkerchief has been hidden in Liu Bei's pocket, never left, and only Liu Bei and Liu Deran know about this matter, sometimes Liu Deran also said to Liu Bei: Maybe if you meet a few years later, maybe things will change, but who knows what kind of change it will be, maybe a few years later, Liu Bei may not have the opportunity to meet Xue'er, maybe they won't know or love each other, fate is the most difficult thing to say, sometimes it comes when it is said, and it leaves when it is said.

And for Gongsun Zhan, Xue'er's departure, I don't know if it's good or bad, this senior sister always feels cold to Gongsun Zhan, as if it is a thousand years of Xuanbing, so that people can feel the cold before they get close to their bodies, in front of the senior sister, Gongsun Chan never dared to say a word, and his behavior was also to abide by his duty, and he didn't dare to cross the thunder pool half a step, and now that Xue'er is gone, Gongsun Chan has one less supervisor, whether it is good or bad will not be commented on for the time being.

For Lu Zhi, in addition to writing and teaching every day, he still insisted on going down the mountain, although Liu Bei and others didn't know what he was doing, but what can be known is that every time Lu Zhi came back from the mountain, his face was not good-looking, probably because of something!

Maybe no one felt it at this time, there was obviously a commotion in the Songshan Academy, it was a disturbing commotion, no one could devote themselves to reading with peace of mind, Lu Zhi's heart has always been focused on important matters, Liu Bei has obviously been mentally discouraged since Xue'er's departure, Gongsun Chan since Xue'er's departure, whenever Lu Zhi goes down the mountain, he is like the leader of the school, and he has no scruples about doing things, and besides, he didn't like Lu Zhi's "Book of Rites" that Lu Zhi asked him to read, although he promised Lu Zhi to repent last time, But after all, interest is dictated, personality dictates, no matter how much you say it, Liu Deran is the most stable one among them, of course, this has a lot to do with his character, and he has nothing to worry about, however, reading is a kind of atmosphere, in such a turbulent environment, no matter how much he wants to read seriously, it is estimated that he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.

At this time, Liu Bei was holding a stone by the stream, and when he saw the teacher coming, he immediately picked up the book from the stone and pretended to read it here, he glanced at Lu Zhi at this time, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him. ”

"yes, I'm back!" Lu Zhi turned his head and saw that Liu Bei was still sitting by the stream.

"Why is the teacher so happy today, not as good as before?" Liu Bei got up and walked over.

Lu Zhi was in a good mood today, and when he saw Liu Bei asking, he said: "Don't hide it, I heard good news in the teahouse under the mountain today...... Not long ago, Cai Yong, the speaker of the council, on the grounds that 'the scriptures have been holy for a long time, the words are absurd, the vulgar Confucianism is chiseled, and the suspicion is wrong', and asked to review the classic books of Confucianism to set a standard for future generations, and the proposal was approved by the emperor. ”

Cai Yong is proficient in music and rhythm, talented, and studied under the famous scholar Hu Guang. In addition to the history of the scriptures, good words, but also good at calligraphy, good at seals, official calligraphy, especially the most profound attainments in official calligraphy, there is "Cai Yongshu bone air hole, cool and powerful" evaluation. Because he was not a eunuch and a powerful person, he stayed at home all the time. In the third year of Jianning, Cai Yong was recruited by Situ Qiaoxuan as a subordinate of Peng, and was also favored by Qiaoxuan. Later, he served as the magistrate of Heping County, and was called to worship as Langzhong, and now he is in Dongguan School and promoted to Yilang.

At this time, Liu Bei wondered, what does this have to do with the teacher, could it be that the teacher also wants to go to Luoyang to be a speaker like that Cai Yong, so what should we do if the teacher goes, so he hurriedly asked: "The emperor approved the school book, what does this have to do with the teacher?" ”

Lu Zhi was also happy today, so he said to Liu Bei: "Do you know why you gave up being an official and lived in seclusion here?" ”

Liu Bei naturally knew: "I resigned because of physical reasons." ”

After hearing this, Lu Zhi said with a smile: "It was also helpless to call the teacher sick back then...... Although the current emperor has been subdued, he only knows how to be greedy for pleasure, arrogant and lascivious, and does not want to forge ahead, and military and political affairs are also handled by eunuchs, which makes the people unhappy, the sky is angry and the people are resentful, the sea is turbid, and the people are Hun and Huns. ”

"For this reason, the ministers of the court and the central government have impeached the eunuchs, but what is the use of impeachment, in the end, the more you impeach the emperor, the more fortunate you are, and even at once the twelve eunuchs who manipulated the regime, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan Qi, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, and Song Dian, were all appointed as the permanent attendants, and the people of the world angrily called it. Ten permanent servants', I didn't expect that these ten permanent servants are more evil than Wang Fu Cao Jie, so far the government is not in the same place, people are confused, thieves are swarming, in such an environment, the emperor also openly called Zhang Rang his father, Zhao Zhong is his mother, and therefore the ten permanent servants have become more unscrupulous. ”

Liu Bei said angrily: "This is also too ridiculous, the current emperor actually recognizes the eunuch as his father......"

Lu Zhi continued: "For the teacher to quell the Nanban rebellion in Jiujiang County, seeing that the people of Jiujiang were looted by the Nanban, life is miserable, for the teacher planned to work hard in Jiujiang County, rectify the rule of officials, appease the people, and return the people to a stable day, but who would have thought that the heavens would not fulfill people's wishes, this has not been a few days later, the ten permanent servants Sun Zhang asked me for a bribe, how can I be with them snake and rat nest, but they cover the sky with one hand, I have no choice, so I simply did not come to do it, so I resigned for physical reasons. ”

"Then teacher, since you have chosen not to do it, why are you so happy about the measures implemented by the imperial court today?"

"I thought it would be easy not to do it, but every time I see the chaos of this world and the difficulties of the world, I can't bear it, this time the emperor approves Cai Yong's proposal, I can take advantage of this to write and re-enter the official career, this time I can't retreat, I must fight with the eunuchs to the end."

Liu Bei's heart was "oh" at this time, and he finally came to study under Lu Zhimen, but now that the teacher is ready to leave, what should he do, should he go home now, but this is equivalent to ruining his future, living in a poor and remote country, and who cares, he went home, then Xue'er's hard work is not in vain, Xue'er has always planned to let herself study hard with the teacher, how should this be? But then again, it would be nice if I could go to Luoyang with the teacher, first, I could see the world, and second, I could get acquainted with the teacher's colleagues, which would be of great benefit to the future development, and the third point would not be to live up to Xue'er's expectations for herself, and Xue'er would spend her time on herself, at this time he mustered up the courage to say: "Teacher, can the student go with you?" ”

"Where are you going, teacher, where are you going?" At this time, Liu Deran and Gongsun Zhan had just finished cutting bamboo from outside, and when they came back, they heard what Liu Bei said.

Liu Bei repeated what he had just said to them...... Lu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since you are willing, then I will do my best as a teacher, and see if I can bring you all with me as scholars." ”

Liu Bei and Liu Deran were excited when they heard Lu Zhi's words, but Gongsun Chan didn't seem very happy, in fact, Gongsun Chan has been learning Confucian classics since he came to Lu Zhi's side, and Lu Zhi has always asked him to start with self-cultivation, but Gongsun Chan is born to love to fight on the battlefield, and his interest is in the art of war.

Lu Zhi also knew Gongsun Zhan's temperament, but he taught him the art of war before teaching him how to be a man, which was not to help him, but to harm him. Today, seeing that Gongsun Chan had no intention of learning again, he didn't want to stay, so he only said: "Okay, since you want to leave, I won't keep you anymore as a teacher, but before leaving, I hope you will run for the teacher, I have a piece of music here, you transfer it to Mr. Cai Yong in Luoyang for me, and let him help me transfer it to the saint, can you?" ”

Gongsun Chan arched his hand and said: "The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, and the students should obey their fate." ”

So, Lu Zhi walked to the side of the bookcase, picked up the pen and wrote: "The minister and the young man learned from the ancient learning from the Taishou Ma of the former Nanjun of Tongconfucianism, and he knows that the current "Book of Rites" is very redundant. In front of the minister, he used the scriptures of "Zhou Li" to initiate a fallacy, dared to be foolish, and explained it, but his family was lacking and he was unable to write it. Originally, there were two scholars who could be able to study together, concentrate on the study of official wealth and food, combine the chapters and sentences of the "Book of Rites", test the "Book of Rites" and lose it, and the holy scriptures were adjudicated and the inscriptions were published. Ancient literature and science fighting, close to the truth, and disgusted with customs, descended in primary school, since Zhongxing, through the Confucian Dashi Bangu, Jia Kui, Zheng Xing father and son, and Dun Yuezhi. Today, "Mao's Poems", "Zuo's", and "Zhou Li" have their own biographies, which are in the same phase as "Spring and Autumn". ”

The text of Lu Zhi's book contains the following meanings. First, he was trained by famous teachers, knew that there were problems with many Confucian classics in circulation, and "explained them" through his own efforts. Second, his family was poor and could not afford to transcribe, so he hoped that the imperial court could subsidize the wealth and food of the two scholars who followed him, and go to Dongguan with him to achieve the purpose of "concentrating on the study of refinement, combining the chapters and sentences of the "Book of Rites", examining the "Book of Rites", ruling the holy scriptures, and publishing the inscriptions". Third, it is recommended that the imperial court "publicize the doctorate and establish the official of the school" for "Mao Shizuo's Family" and "Zhou Li".

Lu Zhi handed the chapter to Gongsun Zhan together with his annotated "The Art of War", and instructed before parting: "Bo Gui, there is nothing to give to you as a teacher before parting, this book of war should be a little bit of a mind for the teacher, there are my notes for many years, I hope it will be useful to you in the future, but you must remember to be steady in doing things in the future, not to be willful, remember to remember." ”

With the teacher's recital and instructions, Gongsun Chan said goodbye to Lu Zhi, Liu Bei, and Liu Deran, and he left.

......

The moonlight tonight is so bright, and there are so many stars in the night sky, but thinking about it, there are fewer and fewer people here, Liu Bei can't help but feel a little sad at this time, Xue'er is gone, Gongsun Chan is also gone, I don't know if we will see each other in the future. Liu Bei is a little homesick, he thinks that his mother should still be working now, Jian Yong doesn't know how he learned from Master Li, of course, and Xue'er, I don't know if Xue'er will be the same as himself, sitting in the moonlight, looking at the bright moon, thinking about himself, at this time Liu Bei thought of Xue'er's matter, his heart immediately became chaotic, sighed, lay on the rock, and fell asleep unconsciously.

【Flood Discharge】

Tushi Palace, magnificent, at this time Lao Jun closed his eyes and meditated beside the golden pool, the pond water flows all the year round, and the mist makes the Tushi Palace live pleasantly, but at this time Lao Jun is preoccupied, thousands of thoughts, the power of karma is increasing day by day, and the deployment of Taoism in the world is still in the initial stage, it is difficult to start, and the resistance is large, not to mention that the remnants of karma and demons in the world are always disturbing the situation in the world, even those who are in the temple of Confucianism, such as the scholar class, Taixue disciples, etc., are full of hostility to Taoist disciples, If there is no progress in the situation, and the power of karma is allowed to grow, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this time, Taixuan Tongzi came to Jinchi with heavy steps, stood next to Lao Jun, and said: "Master, the Qingshui Fairy and Sang Lingzi in the world are separated, because of love, they are all concerned about each other, but for the sake of Sang Lingzi's future, Qingshui Fairy didn't want Sang Lingzi to immerse himself in the tenderness of love too early, so he took the initiative to give up his studies and left Songshan. ”

"Give up small love and get big love, the Qingshui Fairy has grown, the world is the most suitable place to hone people's minds, it can make a person mature, become stable, through the experience in the world, I believe that the Qingshui Fairy and Sang Lingzi can understand the true meaning of life, experience the suffering of the world, complete the important task of saving the people in the world, and achieve positive results as soon as possible." Lao Jun closed his eyes and said calmly.

"Master, how is the situation with the karma demon?" Taixuan Boy asked with concern: "The suffering in the world has been increasing unabated, and the grievances are also gathering day by day, if you let it develop, the situation may get out of control!" ”

Lao Jun stood up and walked along the edge of the golden pond: "Do you know the story of Dayu's control of the water and the control of the water by Kun?" ”

"The disciple knows that Dayu is a household name in the world, but there are not many people who know about the water control, this pair of father and son have adopted completely different water control strategies, and the results obtained are also completely different!" Taixuan Tongzi followed behind Taishang Laojun and said.

"That's right, Dayu's father, Kun, when he took the method of blocking the flood, where the flood flowed, he intercepted it, and the power of the flood became stronger and stronger, and in the end it could only end in failure, making himself ruined; And his son did the opposite, using the method of dredging to control the flood, as a result, the power of the flood was gradually dispersed, and the management of the flood was finally successful, and the story of Dayu's water control has become a good story widely circulated by everyone. Taishang Laojun told the story of the past with Taixuan Boy while walking.

"What does the teacher mean, isn't it also planning to disperse and dredge the power of the karmic demons, so as to reduce his strength?" Taixuan Tongzi understood Lao Jun's intention in telling this story.

"Evacuation of grievances, to be precise!" Taishang Laojun suddenly stopped, turned around and said meaningfully to the boy.

Looking at each other, Taixuan Boy then lowered his head and said, "Disciple understands, please rest assured, master!" ”

"Taixuan boy, this is also forced to be helpless, the karmic demon is originally formed by the accumulation of the resentment of the people in the world, and the resentment does not decrease every day, and the karmic demon will not be extinguished for a day; The resentment is increasing day by day, and the karmic demons are gradually growing, with the power of the six Ding divine fire in my alchemy furnace, it can be trapped for the time being, if its strength is allowed to increase, and we do not control or restrain it, the consequences are unimaginable, do you understand? ”

"Disciple understood!" After listening to Taixuan Tongzi's words, Taishang Laojun turned around and continued walking.

"Dayu's success in controlling the water has allowed the world to get long-term stability, but our "water control" may not be able to get long-term stability, but at least it can achieve the effect of relief and moderation, which is certain, so you must also be prepared with both hands, let people focus on cultivating Sang Lingzi and Qingshui Fairy, and we will entrust it to them! ”

"I'll give you this book, "Taoism and Nature" is written by the teacher in the world, you have a good life, and in the future, I will find an opportunity to give this book to Fairy Qingshui, so that she can help Sang Lingzi well, after all, in the world, it is still a man who stands on the front line, and the Fairy Qingshui who is a daughter needs to stand on the second line." Taishang Laojun handed the "Taoist Nature" to Taixuan Boy.

Taixuan Tongzi took the book and said, "The disciple understands, and in the future, the disciple will definitely find an opportunity to transfer this book to Fairy Qing Shui and inform her of her mission!" ”

"Well, then you go, I'm going to go to the alchemy room to have a look!" After speaking, Lao Jun rode on the big green ox and took off in the clouds.
