Chapter 003: Success is due to diligence and thrift, and failure is due to luxury
Li Zaixing carried the big pole that had accompanied him for eight years, carried his luggage, and went down the rugged mountain road in the back mountain. Although the temple is in the mountains, but the reputation is outside, many dignitaries and nobles, literati and scholars have worked tirelessly, to go to the temple to find immortals to visit friends, talk about Zen and Taoism, Li Zaixing does not want to go from the front mountain, chose to go down the mountain from the more secluded back mountain. It's a difficult road, but it's not a difficult one for him. Baji boxing heavy foot skills, there are divine skills, of course, just mountain roads are not a problem.
Li Zaixing pinched the time, and arrived at Bailongtan at the end of noon, almost before the first hour. There are huge rocks like elephants next to the White Dragon Pond, and there are springs like dragons under the rocks, and people who enter and leave the mountains usually choose to stop here for a while, drink spring water, rest and rest before hurrying.
However, early spring is not the season to seek seclusion, and noon is a time when tourists are scarce, Li Mi waited by the spring for two hours, but did not see a single figure. When Li Zaixing came from the mountain, he was looking up at the sun while wiping the fine sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
Li Zaixing knew it, but pretended to be an accident: "Hey, Li Sanlang? ”
"It's you, Brother Zaixing." Li Mi was also a little surprised: "You are ...... this"
"Go down the mountain and go to Chang'an." Li Zaixing looked at Li Yu in surprise: "What are you...... Wait for others? ”
"Oh, nothing." Li Mi's heart was full of disappointment, the master said that if there is fate, he will meet his noble person here today, he came early in the morning, and he was dizzy and dizzy, and he didn't see any noble person at all. As for Li Zaixing, although he is a disciple of the master and has a good martial arts, his knowledge is limited to literacy, and he doesn't seem to have anything to do with nobles. In this way, he should not have the opportunity to meet his nobleman, and he doesn't know when such a day will end.
Li Mi was full of disappointment, but he had to beat his spirit and said: "Brother Zaixing, why do you suddenly want to go to Chang'an?" ”
"Serve the country and save the people." Li Zaixing said seriously.
Li Mi almost didn't take a breath, and coughed while covering his chest.
"What, Saburo looks down on me?" Li Zaixing said with some unhappiness.
"It's not." Li Miqiang said with a smile: "Serving the country, this is understandable, but how to save the common people?" Now that Ming Jun is in power, the world is peaceful, who wants you to save? ”
Li Zaixing smiled silently, glanced at Li Mi with slanted eyes, and remembered his master's words. Last night, after the lazy monk finished fooling Li Mi, after returning to the firewood room, he said to him, I should have done what I should do, Li Mi will go to Bailongtan tomorrow to wait, as for whether you can say that you can move him to be your companion, it depends on your ability. I can't make it too clear, or he'll be suspicious. That kid is hypocritical, but he's not stupid.
Now, it's time for him to fool Li Mi, it is estimated that this is also a problem that the master gave him, if he can't succeed in fooling Li Mi, his trip to Chang'an will naturally not go well. The reason is very simple, in addition to knowing the name Chang'an, he has a dark eye on the world.
"San Lang, do you really not understand, or are you lying to me?" Li Zaixing said with a smile, his voice was a little displeased.
Li Mi said sincerely: "Brother Zaixing, although we haven't known each other for a long time, we have surrendered to each other, how could I lie to you?" ”
"In that case, why do you say that the world is peaceful?" Li Zaixing softened his face and said lightly: "Right now, it seems that Datang seems to be a once-in-a-century prosperous era. But the prosperity and decline, this is a truth that is not easy for the ages, you are a person who has read poetry and books, will you not even understand this truth? ”
Li Mi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Zaixing with a strange look. Although he is young, he is no stranger to the court in Chang'an, and of course he knows that Datang has a big problem now. But Li Zaixing is just a small novice in the Panruo Temple, he has never been out of Tianzhu Peak, and he has never read any books, how can he know the hidden dangers of the Tang Dynasty? You know, the words prosperity and decline seem easy, but it is not a simple matter to see the crisis from the prosperity, which requires superhuman vision.
Could it be the teachings of his master, the Lazy Master?
"Could it be that the master saw something, so he sent the virtuous brother down the mountain?"
"Master?" Li Zaixing grinned: "You said that old man doesn't cultivate? He was crazy all day long, he didn't even know what his last name was, and he could see anything. By the way, did you see him yesterday? ”
"See." Li Miyi was excited, and he didn't want to talk to Li Zaixing about the nobles, so he passed by lightly. He glanced at the sky again and said to himself, "It's past noon now, right?" ”
Li Zaixing also looked up and thought it was true: "It should be about the same." ”
Li Mi sighed, got up and walked in the direction of the temple. When Li Zaixing saw it, he said loudly: "I said, do you still want to seek immortals?" Why don't you go down the mountain with me? ”
Li Mi glanced back at him and smiled politely: "The virtuous brother is commendable, I can't reach it, and I don't dare to be with the virtuous brother." Brother Xian is better to take care of himself. ”
Li Zaixing sighed: "Okay, I'll go to Chang'an." It's a pity, a handsome man like San Lang only cares about keeping himself clean, sitting and watching the rise and fall, it can be seen that the will of heaven is going to die in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not human. However, having said that, I can't just watch from the wall, so I have to go to the red dust and do my best to talk about my heart. I only wish the mercy of the gods and Buddhas to bless me all the way. ”
After saying that, he carried the big pole and strode forward.
Li Mi took two steps, savoring Li Zaixing's words, and suddenly felt a little strange. He turned his head and looked at Li Zaixing, who was striding forward, and felt a burst of confusion inexplicably. Li Zaixing is just a small novice, he doesn't even know which direction Chang'an is in, he has the pride to seek the well-being of the common people in the world, he is full of wealth, and he has the pride of ruling the world since he was a child, knowing that the court is full of worries and difficulties, but he is waiting for an ethereal nobleman here, and he is really worthy of the teachings of the sage.
"Alas-" Li Mi raised his arms and shouted, "Brother Zaixing." ”
"What?" Li Zaixing turned his head and screamed impatiently, but he was relieved in his heart.
Li Mi rushed over: "After you go to Chang'an, how are you going to save the country and the people?" ”
Li Zaixing said without thinking: "Of course I am in the army." ”
"In the army?" Li Mi hesitated a little, Li Zaixing is a good martial artist, and it is good to be in the army, but what does this have to do with saving the country and the people?
Seeing Li Mi's expression, Li Zaixing sighed, leaned on the big pole and asked, "Li Sanlang, let me ask you, what is the key to the rise and fall of this world?" ”
"What do you think?"
"Whether you can endure hardship." Li Zaixing said solemnly: "As the saying goes, success is due to diligence and thrift, and failure is due to luxury, if you want to succeed, you must be able to endure hardships, be willing to endure hardships, and not be afraid of hardships, in order to succeed." Once you are afraid of hardship and refuse to endure hardship, you are not far from defeat. In the past, from the Son of Heaven to the common people were willing to endure hardships, so that today's prosperous era exists, and if people are greedy for comfort and fear hardship, they will naturally prosper and decline. Where is the most bitter? Of course, it was a military camp, so I had to start from the hardest place, so naturally I had to join the army. ”
Li Zaixing said it very simply, but Li Mi thought a lot of things at once. Success is due to diligence and thrift, failure is due to luxury, yes, Mencius said, born in sorrow, died in peace, when today's son can create a prosperous era of Kaiyuan, it is because he was willing to endure hardships back then. Han Xiu is the prime minister, and he has the courage to admonish, the Son of Heaven is a little too bad, and he doesn't wait for the end of the sentence, Han Xiu's advice will arrive, so that some people say that Han Xiu is the prime minister, and the Son of Heaven is thin, but the Son of Heaven said, "Although I look thin, the world will be fat." It is precisely because of this spirit of being able to endure hardships and willing to endure hardships that we have today's prosperous world. But now, the Son of Heaven no longer has the spirit of enduring hardship, he is greedy for comfort, indulged in pleasure, and even does not hesitate to take the child and wife as a concubine, all the hidden dangers today are not related to the luxury of the Son of Heaven?
Although Li Zaixing's words are straightforward, he is very reasonable. It can be seen that although he has little knowledge, he has no lack of knowledge. Knowledge can be accumulated through learning, but insight is an innate talent, and learning cannot be learned.
Li Mi's heart was pounding, this vulgar and unwritten little novice is not as simple as a martial artist, his understanding is extraordinary, and he is a person worth associating. Li Mi pondered for a moment, and then changed his enthusiastic tone: "Brother Zaixing, it's better to go to Wei Pavilion with me to rest for a while, coil for two days, and then it's not too late to leave." ”
Li Zaixing knew in his heart that Li Mi was a little moved, but he didn't make up his mind, this was to communicate with him further. It wasn't what he expected, but it was better than a broken talk. He looked at the way out of the mountain and smiled heartily: "It's okay, I'm also about to ask Brother Li for advice." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked together in the direction of Wei Ge.
……
In the woods three hundred steps behind them, the lazy monk stood on a boulder, looked at the two young people who were walking together, and raised his thick eyebrows: "I didn't expect this son to really talk to Li Mi about going together, but it was a little surprising to me." ”
Beside him was a figure hidden in a hood, weak against the backdrop of his tall figure. His voice was so thin that he couldn't even hear men and women.
"You've been with him for so many years, and you're going to make this kind of mistake?"
The lazy monk turned and glanced at him, but stopped talking. He paused and said faintly: "Figuring out people's hearts is not something I'm good at. If you find it easy, I'll leave it to you later. ”
"Stinky monk, are you in a hurry to clear yourself?" The thin voice was still in front of me when he said the first sentence, and when he said the second sentence, he was already ten steps away, and the last sentence was drifting along the wind, a little erratic. "If you really want to be willing, don't come with me, I'll wait for you in Chang'an for a month, and I won't wait for the deadline."
The lazy monk sighed, muttered to himself, and shook his head...... New book issue, ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for clicks, and ask for lists!.
