Chapter 131: Sir
The woman noticed the embarrassment on Zhang Zheng's face and realized it, but she still wanted to fight for it.
"Zhidao Village has been living here for thousands of years, isolated from the world. The first gentleman came here to build a private school, to teach the Tao, after his enlightenment became an immortal, his disciple took over his order to continue to serve as the next Mr. of Zhidao Village, so as to continue the inheritance, each gentleman taught the Tao for a hundred years and abdicated to make way for the virtuous. ”
The woman's eyes fell on the one hundred and thirty-nine shelves of ancient books in the room, and the books on the shelves were smooth and dust-free, desolate and sad for no reason.
"It has been 79 years since I took over the position of Mr. I, and I have not been able to find the next suitable gentleman. The first gentleman sent you, I know that you are smart and studious, simple-minded, know everything, speak endlessly, and have the style of a gentleman. Therefore, I want to give your husband's surname to inherit my responsibility and give another inheritance to the children of Zhidao Village after I go. ”
A hundred years of teaching, but this mountain and sea world is only open for a hundred years, and she will leave this world when she reaches the hundred years limit, how to teach the children for a hundred years?
Zhang Zheng arched his hand and said apologetically: "The student doesn't dare to deceive Mr., the student came here because of fate, and he was taught by the teacher, but he will leave in a hundred years, and he really doesn't dare to take over the position of Mr." ”
"Do you have to go?"
"Students don't know, and it's not up to students to decide whether to go or stay."
Zhang Zheng replied truthfully, Elder Duan did not say whether they would be automatically sent out by the Mountain and Sea Realm when the Mountain and Sea Realm was closed, and it was probably the same as when she entered the country, so it was not for her to decide whether to stay or not.
The woman was silent, her dark eyes reflected the scrolls in her eyes, "If I don't limit you to leave in a hundred years, whether you find the next gentleman or not, you can leave, and you would like to take the surname of Mr." ”
Zhang Zheng was a little hesitant, she didn't know if she could take over the burden of preaching and teaching, let alone whether she could become a qualified gentleman.
"The spiritual treasures of heaven and earth can be seen everywhere in the mountains and seas, and the spiritual plants of thousands of years and 10,000 years are like weeds, and the opportunity is at your fingertips."
Elder Duan's words suddenly echoed in his mind, the mountains and seas were full of spiritual treasure opportunities, but if she agreed to take the position of Mr. in Zhidao Village, she would pass by all the spiritual treasure opportunities, was it really worth it?
For a while, two voices fought in Zhang Zheng's mind.
A voice said: "Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure, Supreme Opportunity is close at hand, as long as you leave the village, you can get it at your fingertips, with these opportunities to help, Qingyun Immortal Road is one step closer." ”
Another voice retorted: "I entered the realm of mountains and seas to achieve enlightenment, and for me, the supreme opportunity is in Zhidao Village. ”
"Where does it take a hundred years to receive karma and enlightenment, and if you finish your karma and solve your doubts, you can leave, and finally get the mountain and sea order, do you want to trap yourself in this small Zhidao Village for a hundred years?"
"Taught by Mr. and inherited by Mr. Style, how can I abandon Mr.'s request, isn't it ungrateful, no good and no virtue, and what is the reason for teachers and students!"
Zhang Zheng shook his head violently and suppressed the two voices that were arguing in his head.
You can be greedy, but you can't be insatiable, accept people's peach, and repay people.
Zhang Zheng bowed deeply, his eyes were clear, and his voice was unwavering, "The student is willing to accept the responsibility of Mr., but I am afraid that the virtue is not enough, and it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility." ”
The woman's eyebrows stretched, and she took Zhang Zheng's hand to help her up, "I thank you on behalf of Zhidao Village, and after you receive your surname, I will slowly preach to you the responsibility of a gentleman." There are still twenty-one years, don't worry, there is still time, you will become a good gentleman. ”
"Sir, I already have a surname, and my surname is inherited from an old man, without whom I would not be where I am now...... Can I not change my surname? ”
Zhang Zheng spoke in embarrassment.
The woman chuckled, "Don't worry, this surname is a Taoist surname, and it is crowned before the Taoist number, so it doesn't mean that you want to change your surname." By the way, do you have a road number? ”
"Master has taken the Tao number, clear the sign."
"Qing Zheng ......" The woman's lips curled lightly, biting these two words clearly, raising her eyes suddenly, and praising her chin: "Zheng, clear trial and clear questioning." This number is good. ”
"I still have some books to sort out, you can go first, and I will explain this matter to the village chief later, and give you a surname in the ancestral land."
Zhang Zheng responded, respectfully withdrew from the private school, and closed the courtyard door.
Suddenly took on the burden of teaching and solving doubts, Zhang Zheng was a little frightened, she thought she was a half-learned person, not a good teacher, but don't end up misleading people's children.
Just as she was thinking in fear, she suddenly heard a childish voice calling out to her.
"Sister Zhang Zheng! You're here! ”
The girl, who was about eight or nine years old, trotted all the way in front of her, two full buns running crookedly on top of her head.
Zhang Zheng stretched out his hand to tie the bun on the top of her head, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, what's wrong?" Do you want me to take you to catch loaches? ”
Huo Miao raised a pair of black and white watery eyes, blinked and said, "No, I just saw the village chief leading two strangers to the village chief's house." The two strangers were dressed in strange clothes, and the village chief had put a scarf on them, so they could not see it, but the elder brother seemed to have a sword at his waist. ”
Strange costumes, with a sword at his waist.
Zhang Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at the simple gray and blue kudzu knitted short coat and trousers on his body, thoughtfully.
When she woke up, she was outside the village, wearing this gray and blue kudzu robe, and her husband, the village chief, and a group of villagers surrounded her tightly.
Before she could explain why she came, the gentleman stepped out, helped her up from the ground, smiled and invited her into the village to drink herbal tea.
From the husband's mouth, she learned that this is Zhidao Village, and she is a guest sent by the first gentleman, so the villagers will not drive her, and she is free to live in the village, as long as she does not harm the village.
She stated her purpose for coming to study the Tao, and since then she has been living in a private school with her husband and going to school with the children in the village.
She hadn't forgotten that this was the realm of mountains and seas, Zhang Zheng's eyes fluctuated, and she had already guessed about these two strange visitors.
Nine times out of ten, they are outside monks. Zhang Zheng couldn't help but rejoice that the spirit and divine consciousness were forbidden in the village, just like a mortal village, and the villagers lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Outside monks are not allowed to mess with their aura here, ensuring the safety of the village.
But even if it is only physical force, the monk is much better than mortals.
Zhang Zheng wanted to go to the village chief to have a look, but before he could find an excuse, Huo Miao had already pulled the hem of her clothes and shook it coquettishly, and handed her an excuse.
"I want to see what they look like! Sister Zhang Zheng, the village chief likes you, can you take me in quietly to take a look? Just at a glance. ”
Zhang Zheng pretended to refuse, "No, let the village chief know that he will definitely criticize you." ”
Huo Miao pouted loudly, "I'm not afraid, let's go quickly, don't ask others to follow, just the two of us, the village chief won't scold me." ”
"Please, good sister, take me to take a look, I'll hide behind you, the village chief will open the door and I will quietly take a look and run, even if I don't look at me, I will run away quickly, and it will definitely not affect Sister Zhang Zheng!"
She held up two fleshy fingers and swore as if it were something.
Zhang Zheng couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I'll take you there, just take a look, and then leave." ”
"Fire is slim and guaranteed!"
