Chapter 9: Mr. Moron, a Godman
Heyang Town, Hidden Dragon Mountain is in the southwest corner of the town. This is Zhu Wen's territory, because it is in the hinterland, there is no suffering from war for the time being.
Early in the morning, the people began to get busy. If you say that this Heyang Town is the most famous, I am afraid it belongs to Mr. Mo Long of Hidden Dragon Mountain.
Mr. Moron knows astronomy and geography. Know before and after, through the past and the present. Distinguish yin and yang, be clear, and everything is clear.
Anyway, all the compliments that could be used were used on him.
Another characteristic of folk rumors is that they are wantonly expanding. For example, today, Zhang San captured a three-foot-long big carp today, and it may become a zhang in the ears of the hundredth person, and it may become a kun in the ears of the thousandth person, and it probably belongs to the category of mythology if it is passed down.
Mr. Mo Long is a god-like existence in Heyang Town, and there are really people who go to Zanglong Mountain to burn incense and worship every New Year's holiday.
Although he has been deified, Mr. Mo Long does enjoy a reputation in the rivers and lakes. This person is indeed a highly intelligent person.
Most of these 'gods' who lived in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness were servants with scholars, and they were only for outsiders to see.
You can't be a guy with a full stomach and unparalleled wisdom just collecting firewood and plowing the fields every day. Then there will be no time to study, and there will be no chance to make your reputation far and wide.
Why are most of these people reluctant to go out of the mountains, and there is a price to pay for going out of the mountains. He has already become famous all over the world, if something goes out of the mountain and he messes up, his reputation will be put into water, and he will become a laughing stock. What the world's number one talent, ridiculous, I'm bah!
It's too cold to lose. It's like being a human being, a great good person has done a good thing all his life, and suddenly he does a bad thing. Then this person will become the target of public criticism, and people will say that this great good person has become bad, and from then on he will be labeled as a bad person.
In the same way, a gangster who does all kinds of evil suddenly does a good thing on a whim. People will say, "Look, this person has a good conscience, but in fact he is still good in his heart."
The human heart is the most difficult to fathom.
Of course, there are also true hermits who have the world in mind. Because there is no Ming Jun to assist, he has to live in seclusion in the mountains, wait for the British Lord to come into the world, and then devote his life to his side.
In the end, whether this Mr. Mo Long is a hermit who really has the world in mind or a man who chases after fame, Kong Lin does not know, only when he meets Mr. Mo Long in Heyang, can the answer be revealed.
Similarly, as Zhu Yougong's staff, Fan Gongbao was also on his way to Heyang.
No one knows how Fan Gongbao met Mr. Mo Long, who came to Luoyang after Zhu Wen forced Zhaozong to move the capital from Chang'an to Luoyang.
At first, Fan Gongbao was just a small official, and then Zhu Yougong and Jiang Xuanhui's Shucong and others killed Zhaozong, Fan Gongbao didn't know how to take the opportunity to enter Zhu Yougong's mansion and became Zhu Yougong's staff and won his trust.
Fan Gongbao also lived up to his high expectations, and soon made Zhu Yougong stand out in front of Zhu Wen and was accepted by Zhu Wen as his adopted son, and since then Zhu Yougong has more respect for Fan Gongbao.
The terrain of Zanglong Mountain is high in the north and low in the south, and Mr. Mo Long's home is on the sunny slope of the back slope of the mountainside, and a stone staircase winds up.
Chaimen, chickens and dogs, thatched huts. Although the residence seems very simple, it is condescending and quite proud of the world.
No one thinks that you live so high, and it is inconvenient to eat and drink Lazar. Masters, you have to make some sense of solemnity.
When Kong Lin went up the mountain, he finally understood, and along the way, he saw several villagers carrying grain and vegetables up the mountain or coming down from the mountain empty-handed, all of which were paid by the people spontaneously to Mr. Mo Long.
After all, he is a deified figure, and the people within a radius of hundreds of miles worship him, which makes Mr. Moron more and more mysterious.
Kong Lin frowned secretly, he was a little disappointed. After all, he is a hermit who is famous in the world, how to start the act of letting the ignorant people go to Xiangnagong, and the name of this son may have a lot of water.
The mountain road was rugged, and Kong Lin was tired and panting. I finally arrived at the loess platform on the mountainside, and finally saw Mr. Moron's humble house.
Although it is a thatched hut with firewood and grass, it occupies a large area. Kong Lin came to the outside of the chai gate, and a man dressed as a scholar walked out.
The scholar first bowed and saluted: "Dare to ask sir, are you here to find my master?"
Kong Lin nodded, clenched his fists and saluted back: "Exactly, I want to ask to see Mr. Mo Long, and I hope that the little boy will report it."
The scholar bowed again and said, "My master has been waiting for a long time, sir, please."
Kong Lin was taken aback, how did Mr. Mo Long know that he would come, could it be that he was pretending to bluff people?
With a feeling of apprehension, Kong Lin came to a thatched hut in front of him under the recommendation of the scholar.
As soon as I entered the door, there was a hearty laugh in the house: "I have friends from afar, I am very happy, Master Kong is invited."
The voice is soft and deep, and the breath is heavy.
Kong Lin was even more surprised, could it be that Mr. Mo Long is a real god?!
When he entered the house, he saw a man in the room standing up from a chair in the hall. This person is about forty or fifty years old, dressed in spotless green cloth clothes, holding this feather fan in his left hand and clenching his fists with both hands, with a leisurely demeanor like a valley.
Kong Lin was stunned for a moment, and then returned the salute: "Your Excellency is the world-famous No. 1 wise man, Mr. Mo Long?"
The man smiled slightly, and made a gesture to sit down: "It's just a vain name, how dare you talk about being famous all over the world, and you don't dare to be the title of the first wise man."
Superior, absolute master, this pretending style is something that ordinary people can't learn. Mr. Mo Long has a kind of pampering and humiliation, and Taishan does not change his face. His tone was unhurried, as if he had a sense of confidence that everything in the world was under control.
Kong Lin sat down in shock, and the scholar hurriedly served tea. Mr. Moron also instructed the scholar: "Close the firewood door and tell the people that the door is closed today."
The scholar didn't speak, nodded and bowed down.
Kong Lin said: "Dare to ask Mr. Mo Long, how did you know that you would come to visit in the future?"
The master would not answer this kind of question, and sure enough, Mr. Mo Long just smiled and took a sip of tea from the teacup: "Every day, the people under the mountain come up to deliver food and drink, and everyone has to eat grains and grains, which makes Master Kong laugh."
Kong Lin hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Well, since Mr. Mo Long knows that he is coming down, then Mr. Mo Long must also know the purpose of coming here?"
Speaking of this, Kong Lin swallowed nervously, if this Mr. Mo Long really knew his purpose. Then this person is really terrible and terrifying, if he can know, then His Majesty will be very dangerous.
The next words of Mr. Mo Long made Kong Lin feel like he was on the edge of the abyss: "I don't dare to be presumptuous, Master Kong's intentions, I still know a little bit about it."
Kong Lin only felt five thunderbolts, this person was not a human, he was a monster. However, Kong Lin still did not show excessive fear, and he asked, "Oh, please tell me Mr. Moron, what is the meaning of the following?"
Mr. Mo Long smiled again and did not answer positively: "Master Kong is dedicated to the country and the people, and this heart of saving the country and society is admired by Mo."
