The master's words that he wanted to choose a disciple a month in advance had already been said, and Master Liu subconsciously looked left and right, this was big news, and he didn't want this to spread before it was finalized. After all, as the Master said, how many people in the world have their eyes firmly on them, and their every word and deed can make huge waves in the world.

The master said that there was no special reason, that is, to finalize the last batch of disciples as early as possible.

But Liu Shi didn't believe it, he felt that the master must have other reasons, but the master didn't want to say it.

Grandmaster Liu said: "I heard Wang Qinghong say a few days ago that the twelve of them want to go to the West together. Teacher, do you know? Did Wang Qinghong's kid make you unhappy?"

"No, I appreciate that they have this idea. Why do you make me unhappy? But you, don't stop them. I know all about it, you said that they don't know when they will come back, and they may even die outside, saying that they don't take the academy in their eyes when they leave, saying that they are the pillars of the younger generation of the academy, what should they do when they leave the academy?" The master sighed lightly, suddenly stopped and patted Grandmaster Liu's shoulder, and then continued to walk in the direction of the canteen: "When you say that, how can they still go? You just locked their feet with chains. Xiaoliu, you are not too young, don't you understand these things? Qinghong's existence of these children, their strength, and their progress, is it just for our academy?"

"They grew up in the academy, they studied in the academy, they should shoulder the responsibility of the academy, what is the point of leaving? Is that what the younger generation should have? If everyone was like this, the Great Song Dynasty would have perished a long time ago!" Liu Shi was angry for a while, and his words began to be unpleasant.

The master didn't get angry when he heard this, and kept saying, "Look at you, you are still telling your classmates not to be distracted, but you yourself are in a mess." ”

"It's not that I'm upset, but I can't understand what Qinghong said, I don't know how many years it takes to sail in the vast Western Ocean to find the so-called Westerners, and it may not be possible to do it for ten or twenty years, and they don't want to leave the academy and the Great Song Dynasty, and leave them full of cultivation? Do they go to the West to be robbers?" Liu Shi said, and the more he talked, the more angry he became.

The two of them came to the No. 3 dining hall of Qingtian Pavilion.

The two of them walked to the teacher's desk area and found a place to sit by the window, and after a while, someone brought the food.

The two of them bowed their heads to eat and fell silent for a while.

Master Liu quickly finished eating, wiped his mouth and said, "The cultivation world in the world is not very big now, our academy, or our Great Song Dynasty. Qinghong, they are your disciples, Master, they should shoulder their responsibilities, if they leave, they will evade responsibility, and I will break their legs!"

After taking a few sips of the new tea brewed by the little girl in the canteen who served the teachers, Master Liu was a little excited, but he still controlled it, after all, he was talking to the master.

The master said, "Tell me, how are you great grandmasters?" ”

Master Liu lowered his head and thought about it: "We great grandmasters are not good, except for making a lot of false names and bluffing names, in fact, we have no achievements at all. ”

After the master finished eating, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Have you counted how many emperors and generals you have cultivated? The eight of you stayed in the academy as teachers and became great grandmasters, and the emperors and generals who went out under your hands were enough to count with one hand? As for the four people outside, one died, and the remaining three, which one was not the one who founded the sect?" The master took a sip of tea and continued: "The name of our academy has been forcibly raised in the hands of your first batch of disciples, which is obvious to all. "Qiankun Listening Book Network

Liu Shi shook his head: "Teacher, I haven't gone out to fight for a long time, I haven't walked the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I haven't been to the Liang and Wei countries for ten years." People all over the world respect me as a great master, but even I don't know how much I have regressed. ”

"Behind closed doors, go out and go out in a rut. Every year, I come to the academy to learn about the challenges of Tianlong Temple, Caolu, etc. Isn't it basically you and Xiao An who accept the challenge? Xiao Yanagi, don't be modest, I'm still polite to be a teacher. The Master said and smiled.

Liu Shi scratched his head, indeed a little embarrassed. But being praised by a teacher is always a pleasant thing. He said, "Since Master, you said that you went out behind closed doors, it shows even more that Qinghong and the others are not right, why do they have to travel overseas to practice? ”

The master looked at Liu Shi and didn't speak, just looked at him.

Liu Shi was a little uncomfortable by the master's view, and looked out the window, surrounded by mountains, clouds and mist shrouded in the air. After looking at it for a while, Master Liu suddenly turned his head and said, "What does Master mean is that it's right to go out behind closed doors, but it's also right to go out to practice, but how can there be two truths in this world?"

The master was very satisfied with Master Liu's reaction, and said with a wisp of beard: "Of course, there is only one truth, but behind closed doors and going out for a walk, who can say which one is not the truth? Why can't these two people be the truth? The biggest rule of our academy is to take the students out for a walk, to see the famous mountains and rivers in China, to see the same roots and origins of the Liang and Wei kingdoms, and the exotic customs of the Western Regions. But it's because it's so far away that it's even more worth visiting. ”

Liu Shi was stunned on the spot.

I didn't even know that the Master was leaving.

This great master Liu sat there like a clay sculpture, staring at the direction of the mountains outside the window, as if the old monk was in a state of calm.

No one dared to disturb the attendants, and the classmates who were eating wanted to come up and salute, but when they saw Master Liu like this, they quietly walked away without disturbing.

Going out and looking for other people's scenery can also make a great car?

Is it wrong that the teachers take the students to walk thousands of miles every year, and they don't know how many pairs of shoes are worn out, and they don't know how many layers of skin have been tanned and removed from their faces?

I don't know where the West is, and it will take 20 Chinese New Year's Eve years to find those places that have never been before?

The Master's words touched him, but they gave rise to a lot of doubts in his mind. He had always thought that he was absolutely wise in stopping Wang Qinghong and them, but now, the absolute in his heart began to waver. He began to wonder if what he was doing was really right.

Grand Master Liu sat here from noon until dark, until everyone had eaten dinner.

Originally, the canteen should have been closed at this time, but Master Liu was there, and the manager of the canteen asked the others to go home from work, and a few of them stayed in the canteen, lit the lamp, stood behind the counter where they should be and watched Master Liu, and occasionally went up to change the tea to ensure that the tea on the table was always hot, although Grandmaster Liu didn't drink a sip.
