Chapter 12: I say, the saints do not die, but the thieves do not stop!
However, even if Chen Mu said so, Nangong Servant still looked unconvinced.
"Sir, are you expensive this year?"
This disagreement began, so I started talking about family life from asking for advice.
"Uh, I want to think about it." Chen Mu didn't care either, he pretended to ask for a while, and then said to Nangong Servant:
"I don't remember how old I am, but I remember being a pavilion sweeper in this library for a hundred years."
"What? You've swept a ...... here 100 Years of ...... Earth? ”
"yes." Chen Mu looked at Nangong Servant's round eyes, and couldn't help but be a little funny: "Girl, didn't scare you, did you?" ”
"Ah, this ......"
I'm embarrassed to admit it.
But it was really scary.
"You're over a hundred years old, so you don't look ...... Seventy or eighty years old? ”
"Huh." Chen Muxin said, of course you can't see my oldest appearance, but now my cultivation is getting deeper and deeper, and I have rejuvenated.
"Old man, I take the liberty of asking you, with your knowledge and ability, don't you feel bored to sweep the land here for a hundred years?"
"For a person like you, if you go out, you can show your talents casually, and the prime ministers of several major empires have done it, right?"
After seeing Chen Mu's talent and getting benefits, Nangong Servant Shot not only treated Chen Mu differently, but respected him very much.
"Ah, girl, if I don't like to go out and be a big official, maybe you don't believe it."
"In that case, I'll tell you a story."
"Okay, every word the old gentleman says, I feel that there is a hidden truth in heaven and earth." Nanguan said happily: "It's better to listen to the story." ”
After all, the story is much more vivid and interesting than a direct explanation.
When she was a child, Nangong Servant's mother also told her stories, so she really missed it a little at this time. Even she faintly found a trust in Chen Mu's body that could only be felt in her relatives.
"I heard that there was a divine turtle in the ancient Chu State that lived for three thousand years and died."
"The king of Chu respected it very much, wrapped its turtle bone in brocade silk, put it in a precious box, and placed it on the temple of Chu Guozong."
"But Nangong girl, do you say that this turtle would rather leave its bones as a sign of honor and die, or would it rather live in the mud and crawl with its tail in tow?"
Suddenly, a rhetorical question came: "Naturally, it's better to die than to live." ”
This time, the smile on Chen Mu's face was not so light, but there was a hint of warmth:
"That's right, girl, I'm the old turtle who likes to crawl in the mud rather than be enshrined in the temple."
He's talking about the old turtle, not the turtle.
Moreover, the meaning is very clear, being a big official of a big country is like a dead turtle, although it has a high status, but it has no soul.
If you continue to live in the mud, although you don't have a lofty status, you can live freely.
After Nangong Servant finished hearing this, he had no choice but to laugh dumbly: "Sir, you are really a strange person, but if you are such a talent, if you are only a pavilion sweeper, you are really buried." ”
"It's a personal choice, I'm just happy to live, how can I say what I don't bury if I don't bury it?"
"Well, Mr. has a point." Nangong nodded happily.
"Girl, I see that you are also a cultivator, and you have just defeated the demons in your heart and taken a step further in your cultivation, so I will say a few more words to you."
"Whether it is Zhang Fuyao eight hundred years ago, or Lu Zu, who has dominated the world for hundreds of years, or Wang Xianzhi who is now sitting in Emperor Wu City, their earth-shattering cultivation has been exchanged for countless loneliness and loneliness."
"If you want to be a master, you must have a heart that can endure loneliness, because the strength of the top masters is made of loneliness and sweat."
"Remember, don't lose heart."
"Alright, I'm going to sweep the floor."
Worried about this girl, of course Chen Mu is looking for a chance to slip away.
There is a famous saying in the Confucian family, which is called only villains and women are difficult to raise, and Chen Mu now also feels that this sentence is very reasonable.
He didn't want to have too much causal entanglement with this rouge leader, who was so beautiful that both men and women could kill him.
Otherwise, if one day he becomes the man behind the world's first beauty, it will be difficult for him to deliberately keep a low profile.
"Sir, I'll help you sweep the pavilion!"
Nangong Servant may have felt that thanks to Chen Mu's guidance just now, he was able to realize that his cultivation could go further.
Therefore, with a whoosh, he performed a trick to change his shape, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of Chen Mu, wanting to take the broom in his hand.
Chen Mu didn't want her to touch the broom.
But he didn't want to show his cultivation on the issue of this problem girl, so he didn't move.
However, the guy who ate was snatched by her, so how can he be a pavilion sweeper?
However, good men don't like to hit women.
Chen Mu still decided to "convince people with virtue".
As a time-traveler who has been studying for a hundred years, Chen Mu thought of a hundred ways to deal with Nanguan Servant in the blink of an eye.
Just a problem girl, how can he be rare?
"Ahem, girl."
"First of all, I appreciate your enthusiastic help."
"However, sweeping the pavilion and sorting out books is an old job, and old people regard work as a kind of cultivation."
"And cultivation is to rely on one's own practice and comprehension with one's heart."
"You can help me sweep the pavilion, but you can't help me practice."
"So the kindness is understood."
"This ......" Seeing that Chen Mu said the reasons for refusing her help so fresh and simple, Nanguan had no choice but to let go of his hand.
Otherwise, it would be a sin to do something bad and hinder the old gentleman's cultivation later.
"Okay."
Chen Mu nodded, and said in his heart that the benefits were also obtained by you, this time it should be stopped, right? Nangong servant shoots ......
However, just when Chen Mu thought that his golden chan shelling method was about to succeed, Nangong Servant seemed to remember it, and then suddenly stopped him behind his back:
"That...... Old gentleman. ”
Chen Mu had no choice but to politely turn around again: "Girl, what else do you have to do?" ”
Nangong saw that her peerless face in front of others, everyone loved flowers, and she didn't have the slightest charm in front of Chen Mu, and she couldn't help but feel a little helpless in her heart.
Could it be that this old gentleman who has swept the library for a hundred years has been pure and has few desires at this time, to the point that he has no desires and no desires?
A master is a master.
In this academy, the person who is not moved at all in front of her peerless appearance, the master is counted as one, and now there is another pavilion sweeper.
This academy is really not to be underestimated.
Thinking of this, Nangong Servant shot spoke to Chen Mu in a more respectful tone:
"Old man, I ......"
"I want to see the Confucian and Taoist sages in the academy, that is, the senior brother of the master, you...... Ah, do you know him? ”
"Uh, what's this......" Chen Muxin said, you stupid girl, isn't the senior brother of the master you are talking about me.
Can Lao Tzu still know myself?
This is far away in front of you, you don't actually need to look for it, you have already seen it......
In fact, Chen Mu pointed out so much to her just now, in fact, it was equivalent to secretly exposing her identity.
It's just that Nangong didn't turn his mind for a while, and he didn't know the true face of the saint's Lushan, so it was no wonder that Chen Mu "lied" to her.
"Saints in the Academy......"
"Well, that is, the senior brother of the master, I think you have been sweeping the library here for a hundred years...... You should know him, right? You...... Can you introduce me? ”
"Hehe......"
That is, there are not many people who come to the library at this time, otherwise they have been in contact with this Nangong beauty for a long time, and their identity will soon be exposed by other disciples.
Therefore, Chen Mu was already in a hurry to slip away at this time.
"Girl, I know Master, and I also know Master's Senior Brother."
"However, my status is low, so even if I know a saint, a saint may not give me as much face as a pavilion sweeper."
"This ......"
Nangong Servant Shot was new to the academy, and he didn't understand how deep the water was in this academy. ”
"Girl, in fact, with all due respect, with your qualifications, as long as you don't lose your sincerity and practice hard, it's only a matter of time before you become the number one in the world on the road to martial arts."
"Therefore, you don't have to be obsessed with having to ask the saints for advice."
Hearing Chen Mu say this, Nangong Servant felt happy in her heart on the one hand, after all, this was a compliment to her.
But on the other hand, she was unhappy in her heart.
When they all arrived at the academy, how could they go back empty-handed when they entered Baoshan?
If you have the opportunity, you must ask the Confucian and Taoist saints for advice, this is a shortcut in practice, maybe listening to the saints is better than reading for ten years!
Wouldn't that save a lot of time and a lot of detours?
"Girl, have you heard that saints don't die, but thieves don't stop?"
"Huh?"
"Sir, you ...... How can even a saint dare to scold? ”
"What does the appearance of the saint have to do with the thief?"
Nangong Servant felt that she was bold enough, but in the academy, she still didn't dare to scold the Confucian and Taoist saints.
On the one hand, it's someone's territory.
On the other hand, saints are people who have penetrated the heavens and the earth, and the heavens and the earth have to talk about visions for them, and if someone scolds them, it is said that their hearts can sense it.
If you offend a saint, it's already good if you don't get hunted down and killed by others, where will you dare to ask for advice in the future?
When the revenge was not avenged, she was as bold as Nangong servant, and she was afraid that she would be pinched to death by the Confucian and Taoist saints like a little ant.
At that time, how could he have the face to see his biological mother under Jiuquan?
However, what shocked Nangong Servant even more was that Chen Mu not only didn't care, but also had a tendency to get worse.
"Haha......"
"Girl, don't be afraid, a true saint wouldn't bother with such small details as a little person like us."
"Heaven and earth are unkind, thinking that all are dogs, and the same is true of saints."
"Huh? This...... This is the phrase of the Taoist scriptures. "Nangong servant shot really obeyed Chen Mu, just a pavilion sweeper, and he didn't even pay attention to the Confucian and Taoist saints?
"The saints set a lot of moral rules, even laws, but in fact, they set rules and regulations for the common people in the world, which are used to restrict and restrain the common people."
"And those palace nobles or those who hold real power do not need to abide by those moral, regular, and legal laws."
"Those people are actually the thieves of the country and the world. They will only use the rules set by the saints to restrain and coerce the people. ”
"In this respect, the saint became an accomplice of the thief."
"That's why I say that saints don't die, and thieves don't stop."
