Before coming to Mingyue Academy to see Xu Jing, Fang Shuo had many ideas. However, most of them are how Xu Jing will respond to the crisis of the East China Sea Alliance on the grounds of Qingfeng Mingyue Courtyard.

This time, the East China Sea Alliance fought with the forces of Xuzhou and elsewhere on the Nine Ring Island in Yangzhou, and it was impossible for the two academies to be as if nothing had happened. What's more, there are people from the North Courtyard mixed in. It is reasonable to be reasonable, the two academies must have an explanation to give an explanation to the East China Sea League.

Unexpectedly, Fang Shuo drank a cup of tea and listened to some words, but he became more and more confused.

This Dean Xu Jingxu said a lot, but he didn't talk to Fang Shuo about a few words related to the East China Sea Alliance, almost all of them were saying that he was useless, and that Confucianism was about to die.

Of course, Xu Jing is not only Fang Shuo's elder, but also a senior who has practiced for many years, at this time, Xu Jing called Fang Shuo to Mingyue Academy, and the two of them will talk about everything with Xu Jing.

In fact, to put it bluntly, there is no place between Taoism and Confucianism, after all, one talks about being born and the other wants to enter the world. And now, as soon as Xu Jing talked about the two academies, he greatly criticized the utilitarian heart of secular ordinary people in his words, which made Fang Shuo break out in a cold sweat, he was afraid that because of such a thing, he would provoke a dispute between Taoism and Confucianism.

But then again, who wouldn't want to live another year or two?

Could it be that because of the desire for life and the fear of death, the path of cultivation in the world has been cut off? Besides, Confucianism already includes the method of cultivation, so it can't really be separated, right? What does this have to do with people's hearts?

Thinking of this, Fang Shuo quickly stopped, and said in his heart: Mr. Xu's meaning is definitely not what he thinks, this is all his own nonsense.

Fang Shuo said: "Mr. Xu can rest assured that Confucianism is the foundation of the world's foothold, and it will never die out just because of the world's yearning for cultivation. As the old saying goes, teach by example, parents come first. In the world, there are thousands of households, and the rules of parents will be emulated for their children. Between words and deeds on weekdays, parents and children have inherited endlessly. The words do not change, and the Confucian incense continues. ”

After listening to Fang Shuo's words, Xu Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You can see it." ”

"The kid has the audacity to speak, and I ask Mr. Xu not to blame." Fang Shuo confessed.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Jing poured another cup of tea for Fang Shuo. He continued: "Alas, well, as soon as this man is old, he loves to talk to people, and after talking so much, you must be tired of listening, so I don't want to talk to you anymore, and it's time to get down to business." Fang Shuo, the old man asked you to come here, in addition to chatting with you, there is another important thing to tell you. ”

"Mr. Xu, please speak, the kid listens." Fang Shuo said respectfully.

"Now that the danger of the East China Sea Alliance has been resolved, presumably, you will leave Yangzhou soon and go to Jingzhou, right?" Xu Jing asked.

"Yes, the kid has discussed it with a few Taoist friends, and he has this intention." Fang Shuo nodded back.

"Sure enough, but what the old man wants to remind you is that you can only go alone when you go to Jingzhou this time." Xu Jing nodded and admonished.

"Only one person?" At this moment, Fang Shuo was a little confused.

"That's right. Not only that, but after arriving in Jingzhou, you can only stay for a month at most, and then you have to leave immediately, without a moment's delay. Xu Jing solemnly instructed.

"Mr. Xu, what does this mean?" This was said strangely, Fang Shuo hurriedly asked.

"You just have to do what the old man says, you don't have to ask anything else." Xu Jing shook her head and said.

Since Xu Jing refused to say it thoroughly, Fang Shuo had no choice but to respond: "Yes, boy, remember." ”

"Also, there are many cultivation sects in Jingzhou, have you figured out how to say it?" Xu Jing asked again.

"Although the kid is not very familiar with the various factions in Jingzhou, if he really arrives in Jingzhou, he will naturally have to go to explore the tone of the Zhengyi first." Fang Shuo thought for a moment and said.

"This is exactly what the old man wants to tell you, for what happened in Yuzhou, whether it is Quanzhen Dao or Zhengyi, it will not play a big role. After all, for now, it's nothing more than a dispute between the factions. It's a little messy, and it's not time to move the real thing. You can contact the other sects in Jingzhou first. Xu Jing said carefully.

"Kid got it." Fang Shuo nodded.

After hesitating again and again, in the end, Xu Jing couldn't help but say to Fang Shuo Zhengse: "There are some words, even if the old man doesn't say them, you will know sooner or later." However, instead of waiting for more trouble in the future, it is better to tell you now. Presumably, you have already guessed that this time, the East China Sea Alliance set up a bureau on the Nine Ring Islands, and wanted to solve the matter of the last water and land meeting in one fell swoop. It's a pity that the East China Sea Alliance was so calculated, but the other party came to a plan, and it almost came to a pot. At present, the chaos in Jizhou has not yet ended, and Xuzhou has been mixed in, and those people behind it are manipulating, and it is not clear, but these things are inseparable from Yuzhou. The pool of water in Yuzhou is so mixed that it is by no means something that one person can figure out in a moment. You must do what you can, and you must not be reckless and impulsive just to relieve the momentary anger. ”

"Please rest assured, sir, the boy is not a reckless person." Fang Shuo nodded in response.

"In this world, some people are naturally smooth, and when it is time to turn a corner, they will never go straight, talk to people when they see people, talk nonsense when they see ghosts, and always live a smooth life. But there are still some people who would rather bend than bend, only admit death, no matter what stands in front of them, they will also crash forward to pieces. Everything is not as expected, but it makes the heart door. No matter how sad the hurdle is, it can't compare to your own heart. When it comes, it's always hard for us to get through it. Hope you remember. Xu Jing said.

In Xu Jing's words, full of deep meaning, Fang Shuo immediately responded: "Mr. Zhuyu's words, the kid has been taught." ”

Glancing out of the hall, Xu Jing said, "Okay, it's not too early, you should go back." ”

After talking for a long time, when the two of them got up, it was already dark outside the hall.

Although Fang Shuo repeatedly refused, Xu Jing insisted on sending Fang Shuo in person.

The two walked through a long corridor and passed a study room with an open door when Xu Jing stopped.

Fang Shuo looked at Xu Jing's gaze and saw that the room was full of students from Mingyue Academy.

These students, who had been reading all night, were so sleepy that they were nodding their heads and dozing off.

"You see, these students are rare people who can calm down and study seriously, which is really good. It's a pity that now, there are fewer and fewer people like them. Although there are many idiots in this world, there are many of them, but in fact, they are just blinded by lard. In addition to them, there are actually quite a few simple-minded people. However, in another one or two hundred years, it will be up to you whether there will be more of that kind of person and less of that kind of person. Xu Jing pointed at them and said.

Hearing Xu Jing say such a thing, Fang Shuo only felt that on his shoulders, invisibly, as if he had suddenly had a thousand more burdens, his body was cold, and his mouth was astringent.
