Chapter 42 Tongue to the end

PS: (It snowed in Nanchang yesterday, and the bottle was so frozen that I couldn't stand it, and I didn't have the heart to code words, so I stopped for a day to take a break, I hope you forgive me...... In other words, it seems that no one has read this broken book until now, and the bottle is just in the spirit of completion and commitment, and it is just working hard. Alas! )

"Why do you know about Yu Ji?"

Lu Ren looked at Sun Shangxiang, and secretly laughed in his heart, saying in his heart, Can I not know about Yu Ji's affairs? In the original history, Sun Ce and Yu Ji can not mention the things that happened, but the current situation is that when Sun Ce was in Xuzhou in the fifth year of Jian'an, he was beaten back by Lu Renyi...... Of course, this statement is a bit exaggerated, but after Sun Ce withdrew from the army, the connection between Lu Ren and Lu Xun did not dare to be broken, so he had a better understanding of the dynamics after Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong, and therefore understood that Sun Ce still had a conflict with Yu Ji in the end. It's just that then again, it is easy for someone like Yu Ji to be blacklisted by the rulers, and the relationship between them can be regarded as a kind of political and religious dispute, so it is not surprising that even people with the Sun group will be particularly sensitive to the so-called "cultivators".

Of course, facing Sun Shangxiang at this time, these words could not be said, so Lu Ren said nonsense: "The matter between Brother Ling Bofu and Yu Ji can be said to be known to everyone in the Jiangdong realm, how could I not know?" Even if I was still an official in Xudu at that time, Cao Mengde sent to Jiangdong would never be less, and it was not difficult to find out some news. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Sun Shangxiang's thin eyebrows tightened, but he glanced at Lu Ren several times again, and then turned his head slightly to close his mouth, looking at that look seemed to be a little disgusted with Lu Ren. When Lu Ren saw Sun Shangxiang become like this, he secretly jumped in his heart, and said in his heart, Am I not cheap? It's not good to say something, why do you have to talk about the fact that you were once an official under Cao Cao? If you want to show off your glorious past in front of others, you have to see who the person you are talking to is!

Minchan on the side secretly wondered in her heart. Secretly pulled Lu Ren's sleeve and asked quietly, "What's going on?" I was talking so well just now, why did I suddenly become like this? Looks like she's trying to kill you? ā€

Lu Ren replied quietly: "At that time, you had already gone to Yizhou, of course you didn't know about the affairs of Xuzhou and Jiangdong, and you didn't have the heart to ask." Three years ago, I was temporarily transferred to Xuzhou Zhenfu, and his eldest brother Sun Ce was beaten back by me, and he was injured by me at that time. So if you really count it, I have a grudge against her. ā€

Minchan suddenly said: "I see! No wonder you've been hiding from the people of the Sun family...... It's just that now she won't be bad for you, right? ā€

Lu Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly. Seriously, on this piece of land in Jiangdong, Lu Ren is not afraid of anyone when he meets him. Even if he ran into Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and other front-line figures, Lu Ren asked himself if he was sure enough to deal with it. But suddenly ran into Sun Shangxiang, and Lu Ren realized that this girl might be the nemesis of his trip to Jiangdong.

The reason is very simple, if it is to meet Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, Lu Ren is completely reasonable, and Sun Quan and these people are afraid of the impact on the local wealthy families in Jiangdong, and they dare not be too serious with Lu Ren. Even if Lu Ren had defeated and injured Sun Ce, what could he do? One was that Lu Xun had mediated in the middle at that time, and Lu Ren also let Sun Ce go; The second ...... When Sun Ce met Lu Ren at that time, he really had the meaning of "lifting a stone but hitting his own feet".

Why? Because Lu Kang died at the hands of Sun Ce. And Sun Ce separated from Yuan Shu's camp, and when dealing with Wu Zhisi's surname, he deduced that he Sun Ce was Yuan Shu's subordinate at that time, which was called acting as a last resort. Now Lu Ren's situation here has turned around. Sun Ce was repelled and wounded by Lu Ren, and Lu Ren could have deduced that he was an official under Cao Cao at that time, and he was also ordered to act as a last resort.

In that era of "loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness", whether or not you can "be loyal to the king's life" is a very important discipline that people value. It is also a virtue that rulers must affirm. In other words, if Sun Quan uses this matter to trouble Lu Ren, it is tantamount to smashing his own signboard, which has a great negative impact on Sun Quan. And Sun Quan is a smart person. and will definitely not do loss-making business because of this personal vendetta. These are the confidence that Lu Ren is not afraid of facing Sun Quan and others.

But it's a bit troublesome to run into Sun Shangxiang. To put it simply, with Lu Ren's experience, one thing is very clear, that is, never to reason with a lady like Sun Shangxiang, because it has been the nature of a lady like Sun Shangxiang to be unreasonable since ancient times. What's even worse is that Sun Shangxiang is the first young/sister in Jiangdong, such an identity originally made Sun Shangxiang have enough arrogant conditions, and now he is in a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager rebellious period, and reasoning with such a girl is even more nonsense than nonsense.

It's okay if it's just a girl who can't be reasonable, but Sun Shangxiang's identity is too sensitive. If she is looking for trouble with Lu Ren, can Lu Ren still beat her back under the premise that she can't tell the truth? Not to mention how much trouble it would cause if he really beat Sun Shangxiang, it would be unreasonable to say that Lu Renzhen was really serious with Sun Shangxiang. What is your identity Lu Ren and how old are you, and how real is it to be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl? Where do you have to throw the people?

In short, the current Sun Shangxiang is such a thorn, she can't be beaten or scolded, and there is no other way to deal with it except to avoid her for the time being. But now Sun Shangxiang is inexplicably entangled, and there are only two words in Lu Ren's mind:

"Headache!"

In line with the principle of hiding quickly if he can't be provoked, Lu Ren wanted to sneak away, so he avoided Sun Shangxiang for the time being. If you are really entangled with Sun Shangxiang like this, how will it end when you get it.

It's just that before Lu Ren could come up with any suitable excuse, Sun Shangxiang suddenly said coldly at Lu Ren: "Before, Lu Servant said that he was also a cultivator? Hum! In this world, the so-called cultivators are the most hateful! For example, the yellow scarf horns falsely claimed to be an immortal master, but in fact he was just bewitching the world, causing chaos in the world, and making the people of the world miserable. Therefore, in my opinion, those who claim to be cultivators are all thieves and demons, and they should be punished by everyone! ā€

Lu Renxin said, this trouble is coming, isn't it? Aren't you Sun Shangxiang referring to Sang scolding Huai? Don't say that I haven't practiced any Taoist arts, even if I have practiced it, I will provoke you again? Besides, Zhang Jiao was a peasant uprising forced by the government to rebel against the people, but he borrowed religion as the name of gathering people, and what kind of thing was it about cultivating the Tao?

He's laughing here. Minchan beside her couldn't sit still. It's just that Diao Chan just wanted to make some moves, but was stopped by Lu Ren, glared at Lu Ren in anger and turned her head to sulk secretly.

Lu Ren actually had no choice, he really didn't want to have any conflict with Sun Shangxiang. And now Sun Shangxiang's words, although they are hard to hear, are at least much stronger than the two sides fighting. And if it's just such a verbal dispute, Lu Ren can also try to make Sun Shangxiang faint. Taking a step back, if Sun Shangxiang ran away just with words, wouldn't it be stronger than the sword? At least at least, if Sun Shangxiang was provoked, he would turn around and Lu Ren would be in front of Sun Shangxiang's parents. It's easy to talk a little bit.

At that moment, Lu Ren's mind turned sharply, and then he smiled at Sun Shangxiang and said: "Lord Sun, in fact, the original intention of 'Dao' is just to teach people to cultivate their self-cultivation and persuade people to be good. And such a person is not a cultivator at all, and I don't hide it, although I have practiced Taoism, I have never believed in demons, ghosts, immortals, and gods. For the things of demons and gods are only in the hearts of men, and not in reality. ā€

"Huh?"

Sun Shangxiang froze. What do you think, Lu Ren, who claims to be a cultivator and is also rumored to be a god in folk rumors, says that he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. At that time, everyone had to hold on to it.

Seeing that it had some effect, Lu Ren immediately pretended to be a master and smiled, and then said: "If the county lord insists on seeing me Lu Ren as someone like Zhang Jiao and Yu Ji, I have nothing to say." I can only shout in my heart that I have been wronged.

"But I still have to make it clear that they practice deceptive illusions, but what I practice is a real 'skill', and they call themselves immortals to deceive the world. So that others obey him, fear him, and believe in them, in fact, they don't get anything, and often go bankrupt or even die, but I teach the world the principles of heaven and earth and all things I have learned, and then let the people of the world use their own hands to work and harvest, and finally have enough food and clothing.

"Or should I say that the 'Dao' they practice is like a dreamlike empty path of the mind, and although the fairyland in their dreams is beautiful, in fact, no matter how pencedelic, it is just an illusory dream. The 'Dao' I am cultivating is the true way of things, which explores the truth of cause and effect before and after all things in heaven and earth, and I must use real objects to prove why something is the way it is. ā€

How can you say that Sun Shangxiang, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, can understand this? So at that time, people were confused: "You, what are you talking about?" I—I don't understand at all! ā€

Nonsense, Lu Ren's is already a bit of materialistic thinking, and it is strange that Sun Shangxiang can understand it as an ancient person!

Lu Ren smiled again, picked up the bamboo cup in front of him casually and said, "Those who call themselves immortals in vain, maybe they will say that he can change something from this kind of thing, right?" For example, you can make wine suddenly appear in this empty cup. In fact, if they really want to change, they can't change it at all, and the change in front of others is actually just playing some tricks to deceive people, and the things that come out are actually prepared by them in secret. ā€

Sun Shangxiang hesitated and said, "Then according to what you say, can you conjure it?" ā€

Lu Ren smiled dumbly and said, "Where can I change out of thin air?" But I know how this thing is made, and I can even make it myself. Notice, I mean do, not change. For example, this bamboo cup, I know how to use the materials, how to process it, or the wine in the cup, I know how to make it. ā€

"Cut ......"

Sun Shangxiang pursed his lips: "I thought you were talking about something!" It's just a craftsman's skill after a long time! ā€

Lu Ren shook his head and smiled: "I mean the reason. Today's Taoists quite respect the ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor as a person who has attained the Tao, and they all say how the Yellow Emperor is so powerful, and even say that the Yellow Emperor finally ascended to the sky and ascended to immortality, but he omits how the Yellow Emperor taught his people to open up the wasteland, raise silkworms and grow mulberry as the way of self-sufficiency, just blindly boasting about some ethereal and mysterious things and misleading the world. I think if Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor really has a spirit in the sky, most of them will be so angry that these disciples and grandchildren who don't grow up will fall from the sky again.
