Volume 4: The Year of the Curtain Chapter 72: The Story of the Master (Part II)

. In the eyes of many people, this is normal, but in the eyes of the senior brother and other academy disciples who trust the teacher unconditionally and unreasonably, this is obviously too modest and almost proud.

In fact, the master's understanding is very clear, for example, at this moment, he can't understand the joke in Ning Que's sentence, and he can't feel the strong praise in this sentence. He thought about it, but he didn't understand it, so he decided not to take any time to think about it and began to tell his story.

"Since then, I have been working as a calligrapher in the Xiling Temple, and I entered the library just to avoid missing this great opportunity, so I started to stop. After reading a lot of books, I inexplicably opened my mind, broke through the realm of confusion and entered the cave mystery, and then continued to go up, and the realm cultivation became good. It was at this time that I found that every day, there was a Taoist who had been in the library, you must know that the temple at that time was different from the current temple, the Taoist people liked to go to the world to eat and drink spicy food, and to be powerful, and no one dared to care about them, so the Taoist at that time did not love it, and the Taoist seemed very special. ”

Because the age was too old and the master's memories were a little vague, he thought for a moment in silence to make sure that he had not misremembered the chronological order, and continued: "That Taoist and I have been reading all the texts and books in the library for many years, and then the two of us began to get bored. ”

"At that time, the world was chaotic, and although the gate valves in various places were also good at collecting books. But there really wasn't anything good, so I discussed it with the Taoist, thinking that there were still seven volumes of Heavenly Books in Zhishouguan that I hadn't read, so we ......"

"Slow down. Ning Que asked in surprise: "Do you mean that back then, you and that Taoist were so bored that they wanted to find a book to read, so they went to Zhishou to watch the Book of Heaven?"

The Master said, "I still didn't have much interest in cultivation at that time, if it weren't for the fact that the Seven Heavenly Books were absolutely unique. Where would you think of going to the deep mountains and old forests to find knowledge and watch?"

Ning Que was speechless, and found that it was indeed difficult for him to understand the way people thought thousands of years ago.

"And then?"

"Everyone in the Xiling Temple knows Zhishouguan, but they don't know where Zhishouguan is. The Taoist and I thought it would be difficult to find, but I thought it would be easy to find. ”

"That's because you and that Taoist ...... They're not ordinary people, and then what?"

"And then, of course, in the Knowing Guard. The Taoist in the temple will definitely not let us see it. So we had to sneak a look, as long as they didn't find out. ”

"Have you read all seven volumes of the Book of Heaven?"

"If there were more volumes, I would naturally be able to read more. ”

"You'd better keep telling the story. ”

"The Seven Heavenly Books are very interesting, but the more I look at them, the deeper the doubts in my heart and that Daoist become, especially after reading the Ming Scroll, we all have certain questions about this world. ”

The master said, "But these were not the main issues I considered at that time, so I waited for that Taoist to finish reading the Seven Heavenly Books, and then returned to the Xiling Temple together. ”

"Who is that Taoist?"

"After a few more years, that Taoist entered the Temple of Light. Became the Great Priest of Light. ”

The master glanced at Sang Sang and said, "Just like her teacher, they are all guys who are somewhat admirable, but also very unadmirable, and stubbornly make people cry and laugh. ”

Ning Que thought of a possibility. He counted the time with his fingers and asked, "Is that the Divine Seat of Light?"

"If it's not that, which one else could it be?"

The master shook his head and said: "The temple asked him to go to the wasteland to preach, then go ahead, if he wants to apostatize and stand on his own, then he will rebel, but he just ran to Zhishouguan to steal the Ming scroll." It's irritating. ”

Ning Que said: "I remember that it was the Daomen who asked the Bright Divine Seat to take the Ming Scroll to the wasteland. ”

The master said sarcastically: "The best thing for Daomen is to say what he does not lose face. In fact, Zhishouguan found out that the Book of Heaven was stolen, and the matter was very troublesome, and even found out about the fact that I went with that guy many years ago, so I had no choice but to leave Momoyama, but fortunately, the temple really didn't notice me as a little person. ”

"After leaving Momoyama, I went on a tour of the world. As I said earlier, at that time, the world was chaotic, there were constant wars, and the darkness was unbearable, which was much worse than the current world, the Taoism was unified, the temple was dominant, but the world was ignored, the cultivators accompanied and humiliated ordinary people, the secular imperial power was extremely low, and the world was like a plate of scattered sand. ”

"The only exception is the Desolate Empire in the wasteland, because the desolate people are innate and strong, the cultivators don't dare to act too recklessly, that guy stole the Heavenly Book because he was suspicious of Haotian, so his choice of the wasteland was not a choice that I expected. ”

"Later about that guy, you should know. He betrayed the Xiling Temple, and relied on a book of heaven to create the Ming Sect, which was later the Demon Sect. ”

Listening to these stories from thousands of years ago, Ning Que was very shocked, and it was only at this time that he fully understood why there has always been no distinction between good and evil in the academy, whether it is the little uncle or his own demon, the master does not care, and even let the third senior sister accept Tang Xiaotang as a disciple, it turns out that the ancestor of the Demon Sect is his old acquaintance.

Here's a sense of the past.

"Although to this day, I still think that guy is messing around, and the Demon Sect that he made out is indiscriminate, deformed, and very boring, but I must admit that his behavior at that time caused a lot of shock in the world, and also indirectly led to some better results. ”

"What result?"

"Daomen is wary of his mission in the Desolate Empire, then it is necessary to make the Central Plains more peaceful, the temple is a little clearer, and the common people in the world can be much better, of course, the so-called better life is just a few more years, the body can be a little stronger, in case there is a war in the future, it is better to go into battle, in fact, the life of the people is still extremely bad, not much better than dogs, between the poor mountains and bad waters, there are dead people everywhere. ”

After a moment of silence, the Master said, "It is difficult for those who have not experienced the troubled times of the past to understand the beauty of the world now. Sometimes I don't understand how people survive and thrive in such chaos and misery, I can only say that the vitality of human beings is terrible. ”

"But I don't think people should live like this, they shouldn't live like beasts, they shouldn't live like dogs. We should eat dogs, not wild dogs. ”

The master's expression became solemn, and he looked at Ning Que and said, "I want to end the chaos in the world. I think first there should be some rules, and then talk about some benevolence, if you can open up the intellect. Faith and righteousness are better results, so I began to lecture in the countryside in order to tell the world these teachings. ”

Ning Que was silent, listening calmly and intently.

"I am a little annoyed that no one wants to listen to my lectures, and in some places it is because they are too poor, and people are worried about eating and drinking every day, and they are not in the mood to listen to my lectures. It's because the Taoist temple doesn't like me to give lectures, and in some places, the people don't like me to give lectures because I have to charge money for lecturing. ”

"You don't have to take money. ”

"What do you eat without pay? I always have to eat. ”

"Teacher, you are such a realistic idealist. ”

"I love the compliment. Back then, I kept hitting a wall in reality. But I didn't give up this ideal, but I became a lot more sober, and gradually understood that if I want to influence the whole world, no matter how strong I am, there is no point, and there must be a strong secular government. Or religious help like the Daomen. ”

"At this time, I was lecturing in Tuwei, Xianyang, west of the Wei River, and a young man came to me in the middle of the night after listening to my lecture, I thought he was going to come to apprentice, so he asked him to go to Tuwei Dongpu tomorrow morning to cut three catties of meat and come again, but he didn't expect that he didn't come to apprentice at all, he came to recruit his subordinates. ”

"To put it simply, that night, the young man talked about his ideals, and I found that his ideals were also the end of troubled times, so I liked it a little, so I listened to it. ”

"That's how you became his subordinate?"

"Can I be someone else's subordinate? I just promised to help him. ”

"Teacher, that young man...... Surname Li, right?"

"yes. ”

......

......

The black carriage left Taoshan at some point and came to the foot of Chang'an City.

"The desolate people are strong, the Xiling Temple relies on cultivators alone, and cannot fight, so it began to rectify the order of the world, the soldiers of the countries are gradually flourishing, and the imperial power is gradually rising, the Tang State takes advantage of this opportunity to accumulate strength, and encounters the wind for several consecutive years, and the national strength is getting stronger, so there is a way to build this Chang'an City. ”

The master looked at the thousand-year-old Xiongcheng outside the window, thinking about the picture when the city was built, with a nostalgic look on his face, and said: "When I built this city, it should be regarded as the happiest day in my life. ”

Ning Que looked at the huge bricks and moss on the city wall of Chang'an, thinking about the contemplation and emotion he had once emitted about this Xiongcheng, and thinking about the greatness of the sages who had been shocked by the construction of Chang'an City, and couldn't help but be speechless.

Ever since Master began to tell stories, he has often been speechless.

When you find that the most legendary and greatest years in human history, the glory that cannot be washed away by wind and rain, are all around you, you can only use silence to express your inner shock.

After a long time, Ning Que came to his senses and muttered: "Chang'an City was built by you, and the Shocking Array was naturally built by you." ”

The master said: "Yan Se handed over the Array Eye Pivot to you, and some Taoists in the South Gate Temple are still not convinced...... This array was originally mine, and it is a matter of course to pass it on to you. ”

Ning Que said: "Of course, of course. ”

......

......

"And then?"

Later, the Tang State began to conquer the countries and prepare to dominate the world. ”

"Why didn't it work out?"

"There are invincible opponents in all the countries of the world, but there is still a Xiling Temple. ”

"Teacher, you didn't make a move?"

"How can a person like Weishi make a casual move, and not doing it is the biggest deterrent...... Well, I admit that although I was already very strong back then, I was not strong enough, at least I was not sure that on the premise of not alarming Haotian, I would destroy the Xiling Temple and suppress all its disciples and grandchildren. ”

"Teacher, you are strong enough to say such things. ”

"At that time, the real power in the world was the desolate people. That guy has been preaching in the wasteland for many years, the Demon Sect is prosperous, and he is ready to go south, the Tang Kingdom is located in the north, and he bears the brunt of it, and there is no way to avoid the sharpness of the wasteland, so he was forced to wave his troops deep into the wasteland, and I also went to fight with that guy. ”

"Who won?"

"I don't like to fight like your little uncle, I haven't fought much, but I haven't lost. ”
