Chapter 292: Exterminating Demons
Feng Juniang is also a person who has seen the world, when she was taken away by the army of the world for the first time, she thought that the sky was going to fall, there was a husband who was seriously injured on the battlefield, and when she came back, she vomited blood and died in front of her......
All this, Feng Juniang can always face it bravely, and she has never had such a lasting fear.
This time, she really felt the trembling.
She admits that she is not a woman from a good family, and when she goes to see Kou Daogu, she has bad intentions and wants to ruin this person's reputation, and she also admits that she is not loyal, and she does these things not all to protect Xu Ji's interests, but also wants to use this to make a name for herself, so as to gain the attention of the county lord Huanyan.
She knew who was in charge of Yecheng at the moment, and thought that this was a tortuous way for her to win wealth.
But things didn't turn out the way she expected.
As soon as they met, Kou Daogu threw out a unique question: "In the beginning, there was a Tao, and there was a non-Tao?" ”
Feng Juniang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Mr. Kou really looks up to me, and actually asked me such a thing." ”
"I don't teach others to learn, and I don't accompany others to practice dialectics, you have the heart of enlightenment, let's go on, if not, please leave, don't waste my energy."
Feng Juniang thought seriously for a while, and replied: "Originally, there was no Tao, and there was no Tao, once there was a Tao, there would be no Tao." ”
Kou Daogu sneered, although he was not satisfied with this answer, he did not end the debate, and continued to ask, Feng Juniang saw the trick, she hadn't read many books, and she couldn't cite scriptures, but she was extremely smart, and she roughly figured out the other party's routine, almost every question of Kou Daogu had a trap, and the more seriously she answered, the more she would fall into it, and she had to go beyond the question itself in order to be a little farther away from the trap.
Tonight, Kou Daogu closely followed the word "non-Dao" and asked eleven questions in a row, and Feng Juniang answered them all in the same way, preferring to talk about it rather than answer it directly.
"There are enlightened people, but there are half-enlightened, temporary, seemingly enlightened people?"
"For enlightened people, there is no half-enlightenment, temporary enlightenment, and seeming enlightenment is not covered, for ordinary people, in the midst of non-enlightenment, do not distinguish between the truth and falsehood of the Tao, so as to look at people, only then can there be half-enlightenment, temporary enlightenment, and the illusion of non-enlightenment."
Feng Juniang was very satisfied with her answer.
Kou Daogu didn't sneer rarely, and immediately asked, "What kind of person do you think I am?" ”
"I think Mr. Guan is an enlightened person."
"What kind of person do I think you are?"
"Sir, I am a lost man."
"What kind of person do you think you are?"
"I see myself...... He is a man of enlightenment. ”
"Are you enlightened?"
"Unenlightened."
"Do you come to seek enlightenment, or do you seek enlightenment?"
"Since there is only enlightenment, how can there be any unenlightened truth?" Feng Juniang said with a smile, she was able to slowly keep up with the other party's serial questioning, and even was able to spare some energy to make some gestures.
"To oneself is to seek enlightenment, and to others is to seek unenlightenment."
"The little woman still didn't get it."
"Can the Tao be turned into a non-Tao?"
"No, if it can be turned into a non-way, it will not be a righteous way." Feng Juniang blurted out.
"Can the enlightened retreat into the unenlightened?"
"No, enlightenment is enlightenment, and if you retreat to unenlightenment, you will not be truly enlightened before."
"Then why did you come to lead me back into the realm of unenlightenment?"
Feng Juniang said with a smile: "Mr. Kou has wronged me, I came to see Mr. just to ask, how dare you lead Mr. into the side door?" Besides, I don't have the ability to do it. ”
"Take off your clothes."
Feng Juniang was stunned, "Mr. Kou is joking, right?" ”
Kou Daogu's face was serious, "I never laugh, take off my clothes, and show your true appearance as a witch, to see if I will be tempted, so as to break your infatuation." ”
"I didn't try to tempt Mr. Kou." Feng Juniang was a little weak-hearted.
"It's already a sin to have malice, and lying to your face is even more of a crime, Mrs. Feng, you have had a bumpy life, haven't you thought carefully about why?"
Feng Juniang was stunned again, thinking of Liu Youzhong's words, she had to go through a lot of hardships before she got rich, "Bad luck." ”
Kou Daogu sneered, "If you are like this, you will have luck and pass by you." You pride yourself on being beautiful and intelligent, and you can easily deceive everyone, but you don't know that the deceived people are not as qualified as you, and you are frequently committed to the people below, where does the good luck come from? Those who are stronger than you will see through you at a glance and avoid you, and you will not fight for it, even if you have good luck, it will not fall on your head. ”
Feng Juniang was suddenly told the central matter, and muttered: "Niu Tiannu is a superior person, but she later stopped recognizing me as a goddaughter, is it because of this?" ”
"Are you like a fish in water when you interact with people?"
"It's easy for me anyway."
"In life, when you sail against the current, if you feel relaxed, you are going downstream, going down more and more, and falling into infinity."
"That's why I came to ask Mr. Kou, and I also want to fight for an 'upstream'." Feng Juniang couldn't hold it, she was ashamed, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Kou Daogu said was reasonable.
"Take off your clothes." Kou Daogu returned to this sentence.
"It's not a problem...... What does it matter? Feng Juniang has not been completely convinced.
"You have been in the 'downstream' for a long time, and you don't know what the 'upstream' is like, so you have evil thoughts and come to me to play tricks in front of me under the pretext of asking questions. Only by letting you see the true face of the 'upstream' and completely breaking your tricks can you destroy your depraved heart. ”
"The people I come into contact with are not all 'downstream', but also 'upstream', such as ...... Xu Gongzi. ”
"Hey, Xu Ji is the extreme of 'downstream', and your evil thoughts come from him."
"No, no, this is my own idea, Xu Gongzi doesn't know ...... at all"
"This is exactly what Xu Ji is extremely evil, he makes you have evil thoughts for yourself, and serves him without knowing it."
"I ...... It seems to ......" Feng Juniang has already unconsciously lost the ability to think.
"Witch, show your true colors!" Kou Dao shouted loudly, his eyebrows were upside down, he was tall, his appearance was solemn, and this anger was quite powerful, "In front of the Great Dao, there is no hiding place for you!" The Tao is the only one, the Tao is even high, supreme, and supreme, and your little tricks have nowhere to hide! Take off your clothes, give up your disguise, and let the avenue return you to your original face! ”
It was not so much that she was persuaded, but that she was frightened by Kou Daogu's tone, Feng Juniang really raised her hand to untie her clothes, which was not a particularly difficult thing for her.
If she hadn't been awakened by a strange voice, she would have taken off all her clothes.
There were also two servants of Kou Daogu in the room, who had been standing in the corner, silently, never interjecting, nor stepping forward to serve, just standing silently until Feng Juniang began to untie the skirt, and one of them let out a slight snort.
The voice was very small, Feng Juniang still heard it, turned her eyes and glanced at it, and saw an extremely familiar gaze, she had seen it in the eyes of more than a dozen of her husbands and many men, it was undisguised addiction and greed, more like staring at a piece of meat than a living woman.
Feng Juniang looked at Kou Daogu again, what she saw from his eyes was a trace of excitement, déjà vu, and very unfamiliar, she couldn't tell what it was, but suddenly she felt extremely frightened, and her whole body trembled.
Kou Daogu took a step closer, "Don't let evil thoughts dominate you anymore, that's Xu Ji making you bad, he is the demon king, if you don't get out of his control, you will continue to fall, and you will never come out......"
"You're the Demon King." Feng Juniang screamed, hurriedly tied her skirt, pushed the door and ran out, not wanting to talk to anyone, returned to the palace, lying on the bed and trembling, both glad that she had escaped, but her heart was a little shaken, judging back and forth between Kou Daogu and Xu Ji, trying to distinguish who was the right path and who was the demon king.
The next morning, Kou Daogu sent someone to deliver a letter, in which he severely reprimanded Feng Juniang's sinister intentions, and blamed all the blame on Xu Ji's head, and finally claimed that the Dao and the demons were not mutually exclusive, and he would go to Siguo Valley again to defend the Dao and eliminate the demons.
Feng Juniang was really frightened, it was impossible to ask the little county lord for help with this kind of thing, so she asked for a horse and galloped back to the valley.
Everything has not changed in the valley, the old servant took five or six people to clean up, and Chang Yanzhi and the others were divided into several groups, either drinking, or testing their strength, or chatting, in short, it was not a "serious matter" in the eyes of the old servant.
Seeing Feng Juniang coming back, many people gathered around to ask for warmth, they were all Kou Daogu's so-called "subordinate people", but Feng Juniang didn't hate these people, on the contrary, she felt very comfortable.
Have I really fallen into the devil's way? Feng Juniang came up with this thought, her heart palpitated, afraid that she would turn her head back and plead guilty to Kou Dao, so she hurriedly jumped off the horse, stuffed the reins into others, and hurriedly ran towards Xu Ji's residence.
"Mrs. Feng, what's wrong?"
"Bullied in town?"
"Who can bully her?"
"It's hard to say, after all, we are ...... guests"
"Ah, I know, Mrs. Feng married in the city and died another husband!"
……
Feng Juniang crashed into the room, saw that the desk in front of the window was still there, remembered that she hadn't written for a few days, her mood suddenly eased up, but her voice was still a little trembling, "Childe save ......"
There was only a desk in the room, but the seat was empty.
"What about the childe?" Feng Juniang was taken aback.
A reply came from behind him: "Childe has gone to the back mountain to carry water." ”
Feng Juniang turned to look at the old servant, becoming more and more surprised, "Childe...... Got it? How can you run to carry water for no reason? ”
"It's not for no reason, two big officials came today, the real big officials, both of them have been the waiters of the Ministry of Rites, tsk, at first glance, he is a decent person who is old and serious, much better than the Mr. Kou who came before, after chatting with them, the son ......"
Feng Juniang hurriedly ran out of the room and went to the back mountain.
The old servant cleaned up the house, and after a moment he stopped what he was doing, and said to himself, "Whatever I say, I will definitely get into trouble." Alas, the son is too kind-hearted, so he can't be the king of Wu, and he can't even control a woman. ”
Feng Juniang didn't run far, and saw Xu Ji sitting on a stone on the side of the path, holding a scoop of water, gulping down, staring at something at her feet.
"Master Xu, I'...... I'm afraid I'm in trouble for you. Feng Juniang approached.
Xu Ji raised his head and smiled, "You're back?" I'm going into town tomorrow. ”
"Don't go into town. Kou Dao Lonely ...... He may come back today, he wants to ...... He wants to defend and get rid of demons. ”
"Exterminators?"
"It's you, Childe, he thinks ...... He said that Childe is the Demon King! ”
Xu Ji laughed a few times, "Mrs. Feng is really capable, and she can actually provoke Kou Daogu to anger. ”
Feng Juniang was stunned, but she wanted to understand one thing in her heart: Xu Ji was by no means a "demon king".
