Noon.

The scorching sun baked the floor of the martial arts arena hot.

The girl who stayed at the end to clean up and tidy up with some difficulty held the bow and crossbow and walked to the distant storehouse, the sun was just at the head, and the sweat flowed from the forehead and there was no time to wipe it, the young man caught up from behind, talked a few words, took the bow and crossbow, and went with him.

Under the dazzling sunlight, the girl's curved eyes and the smile on the corners of her lips could be seen clearly.

The two talked happily.

Shen Yin, who had received this recognition, withdrew his gaze from the window and lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand.

The school hall has long since dispersed, but there are still a lot of students around Mr. to ask.

Knuckles unconsciously tapped on the table, and he once again looked out the window, but the figure of the girl and boy was long gone.

When the people finally dispersed, he stepped forward respectfully and called, "Sir." ”

"It's Shen Yin." Mr. is over half a hundred years old, is a kind face and kind old man, it is said that when he was young, he had no intention of career, devoted himself to academics, lectured and lobbied among the people, and his disciples were numerous. But for some reason, he voluntarily came to the Demon Sect and became an ordinary gentleman.

"You should know all about today's lesson." The gentleman smiled and touched his white beard, "What? Have other questions? ”

"Yes, sir."

"I heard from Mr. that recently, in the clear water of the south of the Yangtze River, many schools of thought have arisen with political ideas that deviate from the laws preached by the imperial court, and they have a deep influence among the people." Shen Yin said in a low voice, "The student remembers that it seems that last year there was a sudden encounter with bad water in the clear water in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a plague, which caused the people there to live in a difficult situation and complained. ”

"It's no coincidence that students think it's no coincidence that this year, the rise of these schools of thought is prevalent."

"Oh?" The gentleman laughed, "And what do you think is the reason?" ”

"The reason why the hearts of the people of the court are lost."

The gentleman paused slightly, looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and asked as usual, "What is the lesson?" ”

"In ancient times, there was a private school of Mo, and its leader was the 'giant son', who had his own unique law, and all the disciples and the giant son had to obey absolutely. Everything is controlled and arranged by the giant, and even his disciples enter the court as officials. The people of the Mohists must practice the Mohist doctrine. ”

However, students privately believe that in a country, the law of the state has always been important, and even religious doctrines need to be centered on the state. But in the hearts of the disciples of the Mo family, they only know the Mo family, but they don't know the country. How can it be tolerated by the monarch? cover and then die out. ”

"Well, for the demise of the Mo family, future generations will comment on the altar, and your speculation is not impossible." "But if, as you have designed, a doctrine of discipline that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people dies out, it will only be possible if the monarch is wise and capable." And what did you mean before—" The gentleman was stunned as he spoke, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked at him in surprise.

Shen Yinmian added without changing his face, "Yes, the students think that compared to the genre that is prevalent in the blue water of the south of the Yangtze River today, the current court has lost the hearts of the people!" ”

"Haha! Ha ha! Hearing him conclude this, the gentleman stroked his beard and laughed, "You kid is so bold that you dare to say anything!" ”

"Isn't Sir also bold enough to dare to come to the Demon Sect from outside alone?"

The old man shook his head, a helpless smile hidden in his white beard, "It's not that I'm bold, the old man thought that he could get what he wanted by avoiding the government and returning to the mountains and forests, but he only learned later——"

"In this world, who can really retreat to the mountains and forests and be alone?"

He looked at Shen Yin again, "Everything you said today, I won't tell you right from wrong first, you still need to look at it again and think about it again." If one day you have a new idea about this, you can discuss it with me again. ”

"Yes, sir."

Shen Yin lowered his head and replied, for a long time, he raised his head and looked at the figure of the departing old man in the distance, a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes.

In this world, whether it is a school of doctrine or a law of discipline, if you want to carry it forward, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than to see whether the powerful forces behind you are enough.

……

In the Demon Cult, their meals are provided exclusively.

An Ning Ning had just scooped up the meal, and was sighing in his heart alone that this was better than the inhumane treatment he had when he was a child, when he heard a voice behind him say lightly.

"You didn't wait for me today."

She was frightened in her heart, and immediately realized that the person who came was speechless, and without looking back, she took another pair of dishes and chopsticks, scooped up the food, and muttered. "Usually there are more people waiting for you, and I am not the only one who is missing."

"What?"

"I said, if you leave school so late, I'll be hungry for a long time!" She raised her voice, and then handed the prepared dishes and chopsticks directly into the hands of the passers.

Shen Yin saw that they were all his favorite dishes, lowered his head and pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, "It's late to end school today." ”

"Let's go sit over there." He pointed to a more remote and quiet location.

An Ning nodded indiscriminately and walked there, but before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by a few tables next to him.

"Shen Yin, come and sit with us." Someone beckoned and lowered his voice, "There is a gift to bring the wine from outside, can you taste it?" ”

"Yes, Shen Yin, we can wait for you all the way."

Look, she'll know.

An Ning Ning pursed her lips, didn't stop and walked forward with the food first, and when she walked far, she could still hear the clear and polite rejection of the young man behind her.

It wasn't until she had eaten more than half of the meal that Shen Yin came over and sat down with a smile and asked casually.

"How are you doing with your schoolwork lately, why can't you be seen in the school hall all the time?"

"You know I'm not very interested in those guys, just learn about it." An Ning Ning frowned in disgust and picked up the green vegetables, and just wanted to throw them out, the chopsticks were hit by the other party, so he had to give up, "Fortunately, my martial arts are good, and even the right protector has praised the hidden weapon routine." ”

"yes, that's not bad."

"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen you and Qin Si together this afternoon. I remember when you couldn't talk to him for a few days, what were you talking about? Shen Yin took a bite of food and asked casually.

"It's nothing, he's just asking me how to use the crossbow."

"Oh, that's it." He said.

Suspicion and vigilance passed through his heart, but when he saw the girl only pouting and complaining angrily in front of him, he forcibly held back the irritability in his heart, and said lightly as usual, "I don't know when your bow and crossbow are so powerful that they have attracted him to ask for advice." ”

"You don't know much about nature." An Ning replied angrily, "Since I entered this academy, except for the first two years, we have been walking together wherever we go, and then you always say that you have something to do, and you rarely see you." If I hadn't known you as a person, I would have almost ceased to exist. ”

The boy smiled apologetically at the girl's complaints, and didn't reply.

She's used to it.

From a boy who was ostracized in every way, to a young man like this who most people are willing to get close to, he has paid more than he imagined.

Thinking of this, An Ning sighed and silently took a piece of meat from his bowl and gave it to him.

"Eat more, I've lost a lot of weight lately." She said dryly.

"yes, okay." The voice of the young Qingyue came, and when he looked up, he looked at her gently with a satisfied face.

That's nice.

than then.

An Ningning lowered her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth were also satisfied.
