After Guo Xiande left, Lu Yanqing was helped back to the military house by Song Yuanzhen, while Ge Changwu had a case to deal with, and left in a hurry after saying goodbye to Lu Yanqing and the others.

Song Yuanzhen originally wanted Lu Yanqing to go back to his room to rest, but Lu Yanqing refused to live or die, so Song Yuanzhen had no choice but to accompany Lu Yanqing to drink tea and chat in the courtyard.

After a cup of tea, Lu Yan cleared his throat and asked, "Confucianism, how did you step into Confucianism?" ”

Although Lu Yanqing knew that Confucianism was ancient poetry, he knew very little about Confucianism, so he wanted to ask Song Yuanzhen for advice.

Song Yuanzhen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled kindly: "What, are you interested in Confucianism?" ”

"The boy also studied in a private school for a few years when he was young, and then he had no choice but to drop out of school because of his family's downfall, so the boy is still very fascinated by Confucianism."

Lu Yanqing's words are half-true, the original owner did study private school for a few years when he was young, but he was poor in the family road, his parents died of illness one after another, and he almost starved to death, how could he have some reverie about Confucianism.

"I see." Song Yuanzhen shook his head and looked regretful, "In that case, I'll tell you about it." ”

"Listen up, boy!"

Song Yuanzhen took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and said slowly: "The only way to step into Confucianism is to study hard for decades in the cold window and learn all the Confucian books. ”

"Then when did you get into Confucianism?" Lu Yanqing asked curiously.

"I am old and talented, and I only stepped into the path of Confucian cultivation at the age of thirty."

Although Song Yuanzhen's words are very humble, the smug look in his tone is difficult to hide.

"Awesome, Confucian Master!"

Lu Yanqing didn't know what level he was on the way to Confucianism at the age of thirty, but Lu Yanqing was a good kung fu at the age of thirty.

"Harm, where and where, there are people outside the people, and there are heavens outside the sky; Although I entered Confucianism earlier, more than 30 years have passed, but I have never been able to improve, and I am afraid that I can only stay in the realm of Confucianism for the rest of my life. ”

Song Yuanzhen's tone was slightly sad, and Lu Yanqing hurriedly relieved when he heard this: "Confucian master doesn't need to be sad, your body is so tough, it will definitely not be a problem to live for forty or fifty years." ”

"You kid." Song Yuanzhen was amused by Lu Yanqing's words, but it was not easy to live past a hundred years old.

Confucian cultivation and Taoism are completely different, and unless you can cultivate the realm of Taoism and Confucianism, you will not be able to increase your longevity.

"By the way, Confucianism, the Confucianism you performed yesterday is so magical, is it only Confucianism that can be performed?" Lu Yan diverted the topic and asked intentionally.

"Well, that's right." Song Yuanzhen bowed his head slightly to express his affirmation: "If you want to perform Confucianism, you need to have a deep understanding of Confucianism itself, and then use Confucianism's own heroic spirit to bless it before you can perform it, and both are indispensable." ”

Lu Yanqing couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, since Confucianism can only be performed by Confucian cultivators, could it be that he is also a Confucian cultivator?

But when did you become a Confucian cultivator? The original owner is clearly just an ordinary person from himself!

After being stunned for a few moments, Lu Yanqing came back to his senses and asked again: "Confucian Master, how did you feel when you stepped into the path of Confucian cultivation?" ”

Although there is no need to dwell on this matter, it is better to be idle, and it is better to figure things out.

Seeing that Lu Yanqing was so interested in Confucianism, Song Yuanzhen did not hesitate to give advice, and after thinking for a while, he replied aloud:

"It's not a special feeling, but the moment you step into the path of Confucian cultivation, there will be a Confucian bell ringing in your ears; As the so-called three tones are Confucianism, six tones are Confucianism, and nine tones are Confucianism. ”

As he spoke, Song Yuanzhen closed his eyes and couldn't help but miss his high-spirited self in the past.

Confucian bells?

At this time, Lu Yanqing's brows furrowed slightly, and he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard the bell somewhere.

After a while, Lu Yanqing's pupils contracted suddenly, wasn't he woken up by the bell yesterday?!

If memory serves, the bell rang nine times!

Could it be that he has become a Confucian saint?!

Lu Yanqing took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Although this was extremely shocking news, what was the use of becoming a Confucian saint? He didn't even have the ability to save himself, and the Confucian Sage was just a vain name, which made Lu Yanqing laugh at himself.

……

Jingzhao Mansion, back hall.

At this time, Guo Xiande was kneeling in the hall, and arched his hand towards Wang Fuyin, who was sitting on the high, and said, "My lord, I have something important to report on this trip." ”

Hearing this, Wang Yongnian, a fourth-grade official dressed in a scarlet cloud goose round-necked robe, said without raising his head: "Speak." ”

Wang Yongnian's tone was very indifferent, and Guo Xiande was used to it.

"Lord Qiqi, a snake demon appeared in Yong'an County yesterday, and I also ask you to send cultivators to go with me to subdue the demons, so as to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"Well, I've written it down, and I'll send someone to it afterwards, so you can step down."

Wang Yongnian was unmoved by Guo Xiande's words, and casually wanted to send Guo Xiande away.

If it was usual, Guo Xiande naturally didn't dare to say anything, so he had to leave in a gloomy manner.

But this matter is about human life, and it must not be stopped, Guo Xiande had no choice but to dare to continue:

"My lord, yesterday one of the catchers in my yaya was sucked by the snake demon, although he was rescued by a Confucian master who happened to pass by, but his life was in danger, I am afraid that I will be sad tonight; If I can take out the demon pill in time and give it to the catcher, there will be a glimmer of life under the fast suit, so please send a cultivator to go with me to subdue the demon as soon as possible. ”

Guo Xiande's tone was full of pleading, while Wang Yongnian frowned and slowly looked up at Guo Xiande.

"Xiande, there are demons and evil in the thirteen counties recently, and the manpower in Jingzhao Mansion is limited, so you have to pay attention to one first come and then come, right? The life of your yazhong is life, isn't the life of the people life?! It's okay to care for your subordinates, but if you pay attention to it, otherwise it will be the sin of indulging and covering up your subordinates! ”

"What's more, as a fast catcher, you should take the lead for the people, since it is difficult to rescue, then bury it well, did you come specifically for the county order? If you have this time, you might as well think about how to help the people get rich, instead of wasting time here! ”

"Go back first, I will send someone to deal with the snake demon as soon as possible, don't disturb me here!"

Wang Yongnian's words made Guo Xiande speechless, and he couldn't find the slightest reason to refute it.

Helpless, Guo Xiande had no choice but to give up.

Out of the back hall, Guo Xiande walked towards the outside of Jingzhao Mansion sadly, his face full of guilt.

Although Wang Yongnian's words are high-sounding, Guo Xiande also knows that there must be Wang Yongnian's prejudice against himself.

The reason why Guo Xiande is so unpopular is that he is too upright and inevitably offends many people.

Among them, there are many official eunuchs and gentry who are good friends with Wang Yongnian, Guo Xiande does not give Wang Yongnian face, Wang Yongnian naturally dislikes him.

It is not easy for Guo Xiande to keep the current black yarn hat, but if he still wants to make it convenient for Wang Yongnian, it is simply a fool's dream.

At this time, it was close to noon, and many officials of Jingzhao Prefecture had already come to the dining room in advance to eat in order to avoid the peak period of noon.

Guo Xiande passed by the door, and subconsciously glanced into the dining room, only to see many cultivators in round-necked black robes eating in the dining room.

Seeing this situation, Guo Xiande's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly walked into the dining room to inquire, but he didn't expect that all the cultivators sitting here were resting today, and there was no errand to do.

There are obviously so many cultivators in this Jingzhao Mansion who are resting today, but Wang Yongnian is unwilling to send someone to go with him to eliminate demons, which makes Guo Xiande's heart burst into depression, and then quickly returned to the back hall, wanting to find Wang Yongnian to theorize.

Wang Yongnian, who was reviewing the official documents, subconsciously looked up after hearing a rush of footsteps, only to see Guo Xiande stepping into the hall with an indignant expression, which made Wang Yongnian frown.

"Why are you back again? What else is there to report? ”

Wang Yongnian put down his pen and asked in a deep voice with a slightly unkind tone.

This time, Guo Xiande did not kneel, but directly bowed his hand to Wang Yongnian and said: "Go back to your lordship, just passed by the dining room with a humble position, and saw that there were several cultivators who were resting today who were eating, dare to ask why your lord refused to send cultivators to remove demons with me?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Yongnian couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but he didn't expect this Guo Xiande to question him, and then his face turned dark.

What Wang Yongnian said before was indeed not the truth, he was deliberately making things difficult for Guo Xiande.

But as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, what can Guo Xiande do if he is aware of it? It's up to him to have the final say in this Jingzhao Mansion!

In the face of Guo Xiande's questioning, Wang Yongnian not only panicked, but also thought about beating a rake, and after being silent for a moment, he scolded in a deep voice:

"Guo Xiande! How do you know that they are resting today? ”

"I saw it with my own eyes! The monks in the dining room said it themselves! ”

Guo Xiande's voice was sonorous and powerful, without the slightest fear.

What did the cultivator say himself? This was somewhat unexpected.

But Wang Yongnian did not mess with himself, but continued to ask grandiosely: "Then you are going to send them to various counties to eliminate demons in the afternoon?" ”

The entire Jingzhao Mansion was under Wang Yongnian's control, and even if the cultivator was resting today, he could still send him on an errand, and Guo Xiande's questioning was too insignificant in front of him.

Guo Xiande was so suffocated by Wang Yongnian's words that his face turned red, and he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, the corners of Wang Yongnian's mouth pulled out an imperceptible sinister smile.

Just as Wang Yongnian was about to say something to send Guo Xiande away, Guo Xiande suddenly knelt down, slowly took off the black gauze hat on his head, and pleaded with Wang Yongnian in a very tragic tone:

"My lord, I know that you don't like me, but this matter is a matter of human life, so please open up and send a cultivator to eliminate the demon with me, otherwise I won't do it as an official!"

"Hmph, what does it matter to me whether you are an official or not? If you don't do it, some people are vying to do it, do you still want to blackmail the official with this? ”

Wang Yongnian was dismissive of Guo Xiande's words, if it weren't for Dr. Guanglu's praise for him, Wang Yongnian would have taken off Guo Xiande's black gauze hat a long time ago.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly walked into the hall and bowed his hand to Wang Yongnian: "My lord, bad people are here to visit. ”

Hearing this, Wang Yongnian's expression was shocked, and he couldn't help but show jealousy......
