Tian Zongyun looked at the child who fell to the ground, frowned, and said, "We are all scholars who have no official positions, how do you want us to save our lives? ”

"No, it's not. ”

Hearing this, the child raised his head, wiped his tears, and wiped his face even more fancy: "The teacher in our village said that the scholars and masters are full of sage books, what do they have on them...... That's right, righteousness! That righteousness is the best way to ward off evil, and ghosts dare not interfere. If we can find the scholar, our village will be saved!"

"Oh?"

Tian Zongyun frowned, what this kid said is really right, once the Confucian sect cultivates a heroic and righteous qi, not only ordinary ghosts dare not approach, but even the monks who are not strong enough to go out of the body do not dare to approach the Confucian who is a heroic and righteous body.

Seeing that this kid got to the bottom of it, Tian Zongyun knew that this was indeed not a naughty boy's nonsense, and someone who understood this way had indeed told him.

After thinking about it, Tian Zongyun said: "You can tell me about the matter in detail, and I'll see if I can help you." ”

The kid was flustered and spoke upside down, but he was able to make others understand what was going on.

According to the child, his village is more than 100 miles away from the capital, called Wangshan Village, which is a remote village near the mountains. From time to time, some wandering bandits in the mountains, strong men who robbed houses and houses, often harassed the village. But this village is really poor, there is no oil and water, and those bandits came a few times to no avail, so they did not come.

But a month ago, I don't know where a big ghost in armor who claimed to be the ghost king came and killed all the bandits in the surrounding mountains, leaving no one behind. Although this ghost king is a ghost, the villagers feel his kindness in killing bandits, and they have no offense with Wangshan Village Qiu, so they set up a temple in the village to worship this ghost king.

Three days ago, the temple was finally completed.

But as soon as the temple was built, the ghost king seemed to have changed, and asked the villagers to pay him tribute and blood food, otherwise the whole village would be destroyed. And his so-called blood food is a baby who has just completed the moon.

There are no newborn babies in Wangshan Village, and even if there were, it was difficult to agree. The ghost king set a three-day deadline and asked the people in the village to give the baby within three days, otherwise he would kill everyone in Wangshan Village. He selected a few people from the village to find the baby for him, and then cast a spell to keep the whole village under his nose, saying that if anyone escaped, he would find out immediately. Once you find someone who wants to escape, you can kill it directly, and there is no second word.

The teacher in the village said that the only people who can save Wangshan Village at the moment are Confucian scholars in the capital. Confucian students have a heroic righteousness and the most restrained ghosts. If there are some Haoran righteous cultivators who can achieve the Fa, it will not be a problem to kill this ghost king.

This child is clever, and after hearing the news from Mr. Teach, he secretly left Wangshan Village and came to the capital to find the scholar of Confucianism. I don't know why, the ghost king didn't find his traces, so he came to the capital with all his beards and tails.

Today is the deadline, and when tonight is over, the ghost king will go on a killing spree. Fortunately, this kid found the Liang Tower, and finally found the Confucian scholar.

After saying these things, the child looked at Tian Zongyun expectantly: "...... That's the way it is, scholars, Wangshan Village is counting on scholars to come to the rescue!"

Tian Zongyun was silent for a moment, and he didn't say that he would go or go, but asked, "You said you escaped from the village...... How did you get out?"

The child was stunned, and then stumbled and said, "I...... I took advantage of the darkness in the middle of the night to ...... from the village Run...... Ran out. ”

Looking at the child, Tian Zongyun slowly shook his head and said, "You said that the ghost king trapped the people of the entire Wangshan Village, why did you let such a child escape?

A Confucian student standing in front of him frowned and said in a low voice, "Brother Tian, I think this matter is a little strange. Could it be that this kid was deliberately released by the ghost king to lure me and the others there? Brother Tian must not be unnoticed. ”

When the other Confucian scholars heard what the Confucian said, they nodded lightly one by one, and they seemed to be thinking about the same in their hearts.

At best, this child was deliberately released as bait by the ghost king, and if it is worse, it is not impossible for this child to collude with the ghost king......

For a while, the Confucian scholars looked at this child with a slightly wrong look.

The kid also felt the change in the atmosphere, but he didn't know what the problem was, and stared at the people with different eyes. In a panic, the child couldn't say a word.

Tian Zongyun pondered for a moment, and gave a reply in a calm tone: "Building a temple for the ghost king, but it will cause trouble, this is what you Wangshan Village did yourself, and you can't complain about others." How can a ghost king be worshiped by a temple? It is not in accordance with the etiquette system, and it is for obscenity. If you invite your own trouble, you have to reap the consequences. If we follow our Confucian sacrifices and do not set up sacrifices for the sake of our ancestors, how can there be such a thing? If we follow the Confucian principles, how can ghosts invade?"

"Although I am a Confucian scholar, I have a heroic and righteous spirit, but this heroic and righteous spirit read from the sage scriptures is not for catching ghosts and eliminating demons, let alone for private obscenities. ”

Every time Tian Zongyun said a word, the child's face became even paler. Although he couldn't fully understand what Tian Zongyun said, he could also understand the general meaning.

And Tian Zongyun's last sentence made the child's eyes darken: "You go, we can't help with this matter." ”

Naturally, there is no need to have so many hands with a child, the reason why Tian Zongyun said so much is to tell the truth to the onlookers, so that these onlookers don't feel ruthless.

In his heart, Tian Zongyun has his own plans.

Confucianism is the study of emperors and the study of governing the world, and the righteousness that comes out of the books of sages is not used to do such lowly things as ghost hunting.

Besides, the ghost king who deliberately released the child from the village seems to have some plans. If you bring someone to go rashly, what if there is a bad pool?

He is a high-ranking talent of the country's eunuch, and the pillar of the country in the future is to educate the people and govern the country and the world, how can he take risks lightly because of such a trivial matter?

The child's eyes were blank, his mouth was wide open, and he muttered as if he were out of a ghost: "The village...... Without the help of scholars and masters, the village ...... The village is about to ......."

Among the Confucian students, there were also some people who looked at the appearance of this child, and their faces were unbearable, but they didn't say anything after all. What Tian Zongyun said is really reasonable, even if he is a little unbearable, but before the truth, this unbearable can only be hidden in his heart.

"It's just a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, why do you say so much nonsense to support the scene?"

Xu Qi's voice was not loud, but it was enough for anyone in the audience to hear what he said: "Why can the Immortal Dao flourish, and why does the Confucian Sect decline? It is because among the Confucian Sect, there are too many people like you, Mr. Tian." ”

Without looking at Tian Zongyun, Xu Qi stretched out his hand and pulled up the dumb child and asked, "Wangshan Village a hundred miles away?"

“...... Be. ”

"Are you afraid of the ghost king?"

“...... Fear. ”

"Since you are afraid of the Ghost King, then do you dare to take me back to Wangshan Village? I may not be able to save the people of Wangshan Village, and I may not be able to save you, so I can only try. You think about it first, and then tell me when you're done. ”

The child's eyes immediately lit up, and he wiped his nose and said, "I escaped from the village to save the village." If I can't save the village, I won't have the face to live! Master scholar, if you really dare to go back to the village with me to save people, I won't be afraid!"

"Good! ”

Xu Qi laughed, pulled the child with one hand, then looked at the Confucian students on the second floor who looked at him with different colors, and then looked at Tian Zongyun, whose face was sinking like water, and then said to the child: "Remember in the future, don't kneel down to this kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." You are a big husband with eggs under his crotch, and kneeling down to people who are greedy for life and afraid of death is not the work of a big husband. ”

Tian Zongyun's face sank like water, and four words popped out between his teeth: "Headless mad ghost." ”

Xu Qi replied unceremoniously: "The Walking Dead." ”

After speaking, Xu Qi ignored this group of Confucian students, took the child, and turned around to go downstairs.

When he just turned around, Xu Qi heard someone shouting to him on the side: "Brother Xu, please stay, I have a few words to ask you." ”

Looking back, it was the upright scholar who spoke. Xu Qi arched his hand and asked, "What does this brother want to ask?"

"In the lower Chu boat, the Chu River flows. ”

After saying his name, Chu Zhou arched his hand and asked: "What Brother Tian said has some truth, and the ghost king may still have some calculations, why does Brother Xu move lightly? Even if we want to go, it is better for me to discuss a way together, than Brother Xu fighting alone." ”

"One more ...... I want to ask Brother Xu how he can trust this child?"

"Brother Chu, can the life of a village be measured by reason? Is it the weight of reason, or is the life of a village heavy? How to weigh the weight of this?"

"What if the ghost king has an abacus, and what if he doesn't? Things are here, and someone always has to do it. ”

After a pause, Xu Qi looked at the kid beside him, shook his head and said, "If this kid deceives me and puts me to death, it's because I don't know anyone and deserves to die." But if this kid hadn't lied to me, I might have saved the lives of a village. Brother Chu, how do you weigh the weight of this?"

"Does the shopkeeper know this kid? Isn't that shopkeeper afraid of disturbing us and waiting for the debate? But when the shopkeeper heard that the kid was going to suffer a disaster, he risked offending the patron and losing his job, and tried his best to lobby for the kid to come here. ”

"The second shopkeeper of a store behind his mind may not have a wide vision and he doesn't know the importance of this. This full of Confucian talents are all smart people who have the world in mind, and they weigh the importance of this very clearly. I'm just a stupid person who doesn't know the importance of it, and he has a narrow vision, so he really can't be with these high-ranking talents. ”

"In this world, there are always people who want to be farmers who work hard. I can't become a talented person with thousands of reasons, so I can only be a farmer who cultivates the land. ”

After speaking, Xu Qi bowed his hand to Chu Zhou, turned around and was about to leave with the child.

"A good farmer, a good talent!"

Chu Zhou cheered and bowed his hand to Xu Qiyi, with a different look in his eyes: "Chu Jiangliu finally understood some truths that he didn't understand before! Brother Xu felt that he couldn't be a high-level talent, so he could only be a farmer who cultivated the land. Chu Jiangliu also realized that he couldn't be a high-level talent, and wanted to be a farmer like Brother Xu!"
