Chapter 256: Discussion in the Bamboo Forest
The bamboo forest outside the window wafts the unique fresh smell of green bamboo, mixed with the fragrance of a few blooming flowers, which makes the bamboo house reveal a comfortable laziness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The old man slowly took out a pale gray teapot from under the table, and through the water pipe made of turquoise bamboo, he filled it with the dew from the bamboo leaves that the disciples had collected from the bamboo forest in the morning.
When the water in the small iron kettle boiled, the old man put a cup in front of Zhao Gao, but in front of him was a large bamboo bowl, without any tea leaves or other things, just the water itself, revealing a clear meaning.
In such an environment, Zhao Gao's emotions gradually eased. The old man inadvertently gathered all his might, and the feeling in the air that made it difficult for people to breathe normally finally dissipated.
The expression on the old man's old face was still the same, and there was a little emotion in his faint smile. He gently flicked the tea bowl in his hand and continued: "Your reputation has even been heard of by me, a reclusive old man, and even two old friends have specially pointed out your loyalty, and now I see that you are indeed a good boy. What did you come to see me for? ”
Zhao Gao hugged his hands in his chest, because he was so nervous, he found that he had temporarily lost his voice with one mouth. He cleared his throat and unconsciously took a sip of the earthen teacup in front of him, the faint bitterness spreading in his mouth, making his mind clearer even more, and he pondered the sentence, thinking about how to phrase it in front of the old man.
Space Tips:
"You drink the bamboo forest tea of the epic historical figure Wang Yangming, the maximum skill power limit is permanently increased by 5%, and the skill power recovery speed is permanently increased by 5%, this item can only take effect once, and future use can only temporarily increase the skill recovery speed."
Zhao Gao saw the hint clearly, and the words that had just come to his lips immediately froze. Turn around and take out a portion of water from your personal space, drain the water inside, and pour all the rest of the tea into it and store it.
Items that can directly increase attributes are sky-high prices in the ark space. Although the cup of tea at the moment is small, it still weighs four or five people.
The old man looked at Zhao Gao's impolite behavior, and instead showed a smile of appreciation on his face. A very important point in his psychology is "action", it is meaningless to just think about anything and not do it, Zhao Gao's action is also a kind of "action".
After indifferently handling the matter at hand in the old man's smiling eyes, Zhao Gao raised his head and said, "I want to have stronger strength, so I want to worship you as a teacher." ”
The old man's gaze was calm but profound, and he could point to the depths of the human soul, and Zhao Gao felt that all the cover-ups would become self-inflicted, so he simply put forward his own requirements in the most direct way from the beginning.
"It's really a simple little guy." The old man seemed to remember something, and there was a hint of tenderness on his face. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the gaze in his dark black eyes contained a certain taste of tranquility to the extreme, a certain kind of long-term reminiscence, and the people and events in it still seemed to be vivid. He slowly stretched out a finger and touched the tea bowl in front of him gently, the clear tea in the bamboo tea bowl turned from boiling to calm, he took a sip lightly, and said with a smile, "Choice is sometimes so wonderful, if you weren't in such a hurry to put this tea away just now, then now its effect can be doubled." ”
Seeing that half of the tea in the tea bowl in front of the old man evaporated in the silent boiling, Zhao Gao's face showed a trace of embarrassment, this kind of behavior is nothing if he doesn't say it, and if he says it, as an authority, he is still a little embarrassed.
In fact, there was not the slightest ridicule in the old man's words, and the little guy who dared to hide the tea in front of him was not only Zhao Gao, he was just using this matter to make a point.
"If I were given another chance, I would still choose to put it away." Zhao Gao patiently waited for the old man to finish speaking, and then waited for him to put the tea bowl down after bringing the tea to his mouth, before he continued, "I am not alone, I still have two brothers, and in the best interests, the sum of the growth of the three people is greater than mine alone." ”
"It's your choice, not necessarily the best, but it's the most suitable." The old man looked at him gently, chuckled twice, and casually put away the tea bowl in front of himself and Zhao Gao. This prop is very rare, in case it is also taken away by this second stunned person, it is really difficult for me to open my mouth to come back.
"You mean that I am not actually suitable to accept your inheritance and become your disciple?" Of course Zhao Gao wouldn't take that teacup, it didn't matter if the tea was a harmless little thing, but he would never do anything that might affect the old man's favorability.
The old man looked at Zhao Gao with a smile and said, "You are one of the best young people I have seen over the years, and your roots are transparent. It's a pity that I saw another 'way' in you that was different from mine, and it has been deeply entangled with you, and has become your most suitable choice. ”
Zhao Gao listened to the old man's narration in silence, and carefully refused to miss a word. He knew in his heart that the "Dao" pointed out by the old man was the "Song of Righteousness" that he had not yet fully learned, and the "Dao" of Wen Tianxiang, another epic historical figure.
Maybe it was the choice of fate, after all, I chose the path in a very short time after entering the space.
Wen Tianxiang's "The Way of Heaven and Earth Righteousness" and Wang Yangming's "The Way of Mind Learning" is a standard that cannot be judged at all, and it is already a fluke to be able to get one of them, how can you hope for the best of both worlds?
But if you give up the way of "mind learning" in front of you, it is equivalent to returning empty like a treasure mountain, and Zhao Gao will not be willing to do so no matter what.
"It is not necessary to be your disciple to accept your lineage." Zhao Gao thought for a while, said an unbelievable sentence, and his raised eyes also revealed a stubborn light.
This sentence is not only rebellious, but also greedy and shameless, but Zhao Gao said it so calmly, without a trace of guilt in his eyes.
"Xinxue was created by you, but in Xinxue, there is the inheritance of Mr. Mingdao, and you are not his disciple; With the inheritance of Mr. Xiangshan, you are not his disciple, and as for other Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism inheritance, you are not his disciple, so the younger generation dares to talk nonsense, and you must not be stingy with teaching. ”
Zhao Gao's words belong to nonsense. There is no school in history that can exist independently in the air, and it must have the ideological inheritance of its predecessors. But under the revolution, as long as you have your own original side, you can start a sect. Wang Yangming does have a lot of reference for his predecessors, but if he says that he has inherited it, it is an exaggeration.
But if it is said that there is no inheritance, this is indeed unspeakable in the heart of the old man who is as calm as a mirror.
As long as you say it, it is equivalent to taking other people's things and not admitting it, and you will be more shameless than Zhao Gao.
So when Wang Yangming listened to Zhao Gao's words, he was stunned and showed a strange smile. Zhao Gao's temperament is not ancient, in fact, it is very suitable for his own psychology. On his wrinkled face, a smile that had nothing to do with wisdom but was simply satisfied finally appeared, and the trace of regret hidden in the depths finally disappeared.
