It rained for half a month, and the peach forest incense was also continuous for half a month, but no matter how much Mr. Delong Wangzun, it was difficult for the incense to continue. It wasn't until after January that the peach grove fell silent.

Liu Qingyang looked at Liu Mengyun, who had been kneeling for a month, and said, "Where are you going?"

Liu Mengyun stood up straight, with a look of perseverance in his eyes, and said, "Go back to teaching." "As soon as Mr. Big died, the burden fell on him, and in any case, he had to accomplish what Mr. Big failed to accomplish.

Liu Qingyang nodded, waved at him, turned around, and looked at Taolin speechlessly. After a long time, he finally took a step and headed in the direction of Qingshui Town.

That place where gods and demons do not exist...... The place abandoned by the heavens...... Now that Mr. Big is dead, this piece of heaven and earth should also be under the jurisdiction of Heavenly Dao.

When he re-entered the town, he heard the sound of children chattering in the distance, and when he got closer, he saw three children playing beside a dry well, which were his students. Liu Qingyang's heart suddenly softened, softened into March spring grass, and because of the slight movement of the wind, a smile unconsciously appeared on his mouth.

When the three children saw Liu Qingyang, they shouted with joy, stepped forward, held hands and hugged their feet, and asked one by one, "Has Mr. come back to teach us?"

"Where has the gentleman been these days?"

"I can memorize that poem now, I want sugar candy!"

Liu Qingyang smiled slightly, gently stroked a child's head, squatted down, picked him up, and said, "Okay, Mr. is back to teach, everyone has sugar." ”

The news of Liu Qingyang's return to teach spread throughout Qingshui Town within half a day, and soon the mayor and his neighbors brought half a bag of rice to Liu Qingyang, afraid that he would leave again. Liu Qingyang politely declined, and promised to continue teaching here, before appeasing the mayor.

In the future, they will continue to teach, the people's wisdom will gradually open, and the schoolchildren will no longer be like before.

On this day, when Liu Qingyang walked to the school, he rarely saw that the school was full of people, and some even couldn't sit down and stood in the back. Most of them were children of seven or eight years old, and some were teenagers, with a look of longing and hope on their faces.

Liu Qingyang smiled, laughing from the bottom of his heart. He knew that the people of this town were alive! From the bottom of their hearts! Although they were alive before, everyone had a numb look on their faces, how was it different from the walking dead?

Liu Qingyang looked at the faces full of hope under the school, and said, "I don't teach the content of the books today." ”

The students looked at each other for a moment, and one boldly asked, "Won't you teach us?" As soon as these words came out, all the students panicked.

Liu Qingyang said: "It's still taught, but I don't talk about the classics today." Before I speak, I'll ask a question, which one will get up and answer, and reward a piece of candy. ”

A student asked, "What if the answer is wrong, is there sugar?" Liu Qingyang smiled slightly, looked at the child, and looked at the students, and said: "As long as you get up and answer, no matter if you answer correctly or wrongly, you will have candy to eat." ”

The boy said, "Then the gentleman asks, asks." ”

Liu Qingyang pondered slightly, smiled slightly, and asked the question that countless teachers have asked since the ages, and there are countless different answers: "What are you studying for?"

The schoolchildren in the audience were at a loss for themselves, frowning and shaking their heads. A boy of twelve or thirteen years old said in the back: "Reading is reading, my father and mother asked us to study, and the mayor said that reading is good, so we came to study." Why Read...... I don't know. ”

Liu Qingyang said: "Then think about it now, what are you studying for?"

Another child said, "Reading is for ...... To make money, make a lot of money. ”

Liu Qingyang smiled slightly, took a piece of candy and walked over to him, and said, "Yes, this is also an answer." When the schoolchildren saw that there was really candy to eat, they were all happy in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to raise their hands to speak.

Under Liu Qingyang's nod, a schoolchild said: "Study for your parents." ”

One schoolboy said, "It's not hard to study and work. ”

A schoolboy said: "I study to become an official." ”

Another schoolboy said: "Reading is to make yourself smarter." ”

Liu Qingyang gave the candy one by one and smiled: "They all answered very well." The teacher asks you another question and answers by giving you two pieces of candy. ”

All the schoolchildren tasted the sweetness, and one by one spoke enthusiastically, saying yes in unison.

Liu Qingyang said: "Then you now set a dream for yourself, what do you want to do when you study." All the schoolchildren frowned and pondered, and after a while, another person raised his hand to speak: "I study to be a scholar, to be a university Confucian like Mr. Big." ”

Liu Qingyang was stunned, smiled slightly, and gave two pieces of candy. Another schoolboy said: "I want to be a big official, I want to ride a horse and have many people to greet me, how majestic it should be." ”

Then all the schoolchildren thought about what they were going to do, and they all scrambled to raise their hands to speak.

Among these schoolchildren, there was one person leaning against the wall, looking at Liu Qingyang with his eyes blazing, and he didn't speak or speak.

Liu Qingyang's eyes swept away, and he recognized that it was a little-spoken schoolboy who had just come to the school to study, only eleven years old, named Yunming. Liu Qingyang said softly: "Yunming, what do you want to do when you study?"

The schoolboy Yun Ming stood up, looked at Liu Qingyang with his eyes like torches, and said word by word, clearly: "I want to be a saint, I want to be a great saint admired by the world!"

Liu Qingyang said: "To be a great sage? Why?" The schoolboy Yun Ming said in a loud voice: "Because the clouds come out of the east, all directions are bright! Mr. said, I am born to be useful, and since I was born in the world, I only need to be a great sage! I study to be a great sage!"

Liu Qingyang was shocked by the determined light in the child's eyes at this time, took two steps forward, and said, "The path of a saint is difficult, do you know what it takes to be a saint?"

Yun Ming snorted, with an unruly look on his face, and said, "Teacher, I don't like poetry, I didn't like it when I heard it in the past. The sun rises in the east of Jiangtou, and learning is not a day's work. This is what I used to think, and I can't wait to get out of class every day, and I don't want to memorize those things. He paused, stared at Liu Qingyang with a strange look, and said, "But I want to be a great sage, my father said that the great sage should study first, and I will come to study." Teacher, I want to ask you, how can you become a saint?"

Liu Qingyang was shocked by this son's courage and bearing, and was also asked by his words, but he didn't know whether he was ignorant and fearless, or if he really had this ambition, so he smiled dumbly and said: "The saint is for the country and the people." The country comes first, and the country comes last. The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy. Reading 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles can be a saint. ”

Yun Ming laughed and said, "What my husband said is all absurd! The Tao Te Ching says: Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and saints are unkind, and people are used as dogs. Between heaven and earth, it is like a void but not yielding, moving and out. Is there such a sentence?"

Liu Qingyang was stunned and said, "Yes." ”

Yun Ming said: "Sir, what do you say that the saint is worried about the world first, and the world is happy after the world?" The Tao Te Ching says, the way of heaven is not benevolent, the people are the dogs, the saints are not benevolent, the people are the dogs, it can be seen that the two are the same, how can you care?" Without waiting for Liu Qingyang to speak, he said: "Lao Tzu said: The Tao is supreme, the deepest is inferior, flat and accurate, straight as a rope, round and regular, square and square, wrapping heaven and earth without appearance. Is there such a thing?"

Liu Qingyang knew that this sentence came from "Huainanzi", nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yun Ming sneered: "Is the Heavenly Dao ruthless and merciful?

Liu Qingyang couldn't distinguish when he said this, so he looked at this person carefully. I saw that he looked naïve, but his eyes revealed an arrogant and uninhibited look.

Yun Ming said again: "Mr. said, read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles, you can be a saint." That gentleman has heard that he knows the world without leaving home, and does not peep into the way of heaven. It is far away, and its knowledge is small. It is known that the saints do not work. Out of sight. Not for it. He paused, squinted at Liu Qingyang, and said, "How do you explain?" Liu Qingyang, let me ask you, what is the Tao?"

Liu Qingyang said: "The way of the sword is the way, the way of the book is the way, and the way is everywhere." ”

Yun Ming nodded and said, "This sentence is finally correct." "Wen Shi Zhenjing" said: Yu Zhi, Tao also. There is no way to speak, the unspeakable is the way, there is no way to think, and the unthinkable is the way. Words are like blowing shadows, and thinking is like dust. The Holy Wisdom creates confusion, and the ghosts and gods do not know. But it can't be done, it can't be caused, it can't be measured, it can't be divided, so it is said that heaven is fate, God is called Yuan, and it is said that it is Tao. Since there is no Tao, how can we talk about the Tao? The way of the sword is the way, and the thinking is ridiculous. ”

Liu Qingyang suddenly sighed, made a gesture, and said, "Be taught!" and said to the other schoolchildren: "Today is over, after school, you go home." All the schoolchildren were at a loss when they heard this, wondering why Yun Ming, who was usually a little talker, could talk so much to Mr. Teaching today. When he got Mr. this, he was overjoyed, and he bowed to Liu Qingyang one by one.

Yun Ming kept squinting at him and didn't speak. After Liu Qingyang and the other students left, they approached and said, "Who is the gentleman?"

Yun Ming sneered and said, "The Tao is vast and ignorant, the heart is dignified and uninhibited, and the things are stacked but nothing more than that. The true face is this, this is the true face, why pursue this?"

Liu Qingyang also knew that it was really an eleven or twelve-year-old child who had no such knowledge, and seeing that he was unwilling to reveal his identity, he said: "I was really shocked to hear your words today, and Liu Qingyang was taught. ”

Yun Ming's face softened, and he said, "As a sword cultivator, you teach here, but you don't know that a catastrophe is coming!"

Liu Qingyang's expression was solemn, and he said, "Why do you say this?" Yun Ming glanced at him lightly, looked at the sunset outside the window, and said, "Let's go over there and talk." ”

The two of them left the school and headed to the west of the town. Walking to the foot of a mountain, Yun Ming stopped and said, "Sword cultivation teaching, hey, I can see it once in a few hundred years, it's interesting!" turned around, glared at Liu Qingyang, and said: "Do you know that a sentence says: all things in the muddy world are the soul, and all things in the muddy world are the soul." All the wonders of creation are my soul, and all the creations are my soul, and there is nothing to serve me. ”

Liu Qingyang seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said: "What is said in the "Wenshi Zhenjing" means the unity of heaven and man. ”

Yun Ming sneered and said, "Do you think you have reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man?"

Liu Qingyang shook his head, did not answer his question, and said, "What do you have to say?"

Yun Ming said: "You shouldn't have gouged out Mr. Da's eyes and caused him to die! Now you have saved this Qingshui Town, but this heavenly way can't spare you!"

Liu Qingyang looked up at the sky, and vaguely felt the power of heaven hidden under the clouds. He frowned, his eyes were cold, and he said, "Just because I gouged out Mr. Big's eyes?"

Yun Ming said: "That's right! Chen Qingshui is willing to exchange his eyes for Qingshui Town, but you should never gouge out his eyes! Now, this day can't spare you, this way can't spare you! Soon this coercion hidden in the void will crush you to the point of scattering!" He accentuated his tone and said coldly: "You have not reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and you have not been able to transcend the five elements of yin and yang, this Tianwei can find you!"

Liu Qingyang's face gradually became solemn, and said, "Your Excellency came to me, there must be a way to rescue you, please make it clear!"

Yun Ming's face softened, and he said: "If Wei doesn't lock you up today, don't go to Qingshui Town to teach at this time, leave this place quickly, and stay incognito from now on, and still have to self-destruct your face to avoid the detection of the eye of heaven." ”
