In the depths of the forest of Xinghuaxiping, there is actually nothing, but there are some flats under the trees at the end of the forest path, and there are some stone tables and chairs.

It's already June in the world, so naturally there can't be any more apricot blossoms.

When Yun Hu didn't know that when he came with the oil lamp, he saw a lot of oil lamps that were idle there under those trees.

About the beginning, Mr. Xie came here with a lamp all the way and sat in it for a long time.

In fact, Mr. Xie likes to meditate in the apricot forest, which is naturally not a secret, which is something that the Hanging Courtyard of Nanyi City knows.

Perhaps because of this, the gentlemen in the courtyard rarely come in to disturb such a seemingly lazy Mr. Qingniuyuan.

Probably only Mr. Mei will come here to bother.

Yun Hu didn't know how to hold the oil lamp and stood quietly on the path.

Oil lamps may indeed have some special meanings.

When a young man under an umbrella came to the courtyard at the beginning, the gentleman asked Mr. Mei for an oil lamp.

At that time, the young man naturally asked Mr. Mei in confusion, shouldn't Mr. Xie be a cultivator? Why do I need to light an oil lamp when walking at night?

At that time, Mr. Mei told the boy that Mr. Xie said that he was practicing.

It's just that what exactly he has cultivated and what he has done, Mr. Mei naturally may not really know.

The night breeze in the apricot grove blew many dry leaves, rolling around in the forest.

Yun Hu didn't know it, but he suddenly saw something under a certain apricot tree - Mr. Mei was right, walking in the night, with an oil lamp, he would naturally see more clearly.

It was a piece of paper that had been wet and stained by the rain.

The scholar walked over with the oil cup in his hand, bent down under the tree, and picked up the paper.

There were many things written on it very messily, but the gentleman had been distracted by it, and finally erased all the handwriting, leaving only the last few words.

The avenue is wasted, and there is benevolence and righteousness.

This is a sentence in the five thousand words of Qingniu.

But in fact, it also has some more detailed sentences, that is, the words of the nineteen chapters that everyone has heard in the world today.

Absolute sainthood and abandonment of wisdom, the people benefit a hundred times. Absolute benevolence and abandonment of righteousness, and the people restore filial piety. There are no thieves who abandon profit. These three are thought to be insufficient, so they belong to them, see simplicity, and have less selfishness.

Yun Hu quietly looked at the crumpled paper soaked in rain and snow, and was silent for a long time.

It's not something that makes sense.

It's just the handwriting of a Taoist who meditates and meditates on his own self.

The scholar took the paper and walked to the stone table, turned it over, and raised his hand to twist it on the wick of the oil bowl until his fingers were black.

Yun Hu didn't know how to lift his fingers like a pen, quietly looked at such a piece of paper that had been abandoned in the rain and snow for a long time, and then calmly wrote a line of words with the color of ink on his fingers.

The gentleman yearns for it, but he can't reach it.

This is probably the scholar's answer to such a Taoist act.

There was some slight footsteps in the apricot grove.

Yun Hu, who had been pondering, raised his head, only to find that Yao Ji had come to this apricot forest at some point.

This Gu Chu goddess was already extremely powerful, and the scholar sat there quietly, feeling as if he was standing on the side of the River Styx.

Yao Ji quietly looked at the paper on the stone table, then raised her head, looked at Yun Hu and asked in a calm tone, "Why can't you come?" ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to lower his head, looked at the sentence he had just written, was silent for a long time, and then looked at Yao Ji and said: "It is undeniable that Hangu Guan has indeed brought a new era to the world, but how can there be something in the world that will always be right?" The words of a saint may not be a beautiful sound. Abandoning the avenue and abandoning clever profits can certainly bring temporary stability. But the world is like a boat floating against the current, if it is really like a day for thousands of years, its life is still dead. ”

Yao Ji just looked at the scholar quietly.

Yun Hu didn't know that maybe his temperament was softer than that of Qing Xiang, and after being silent for a while, he said softly: "The Taoist repeats, not indulgence." In the nineteenth chapter, I think that the spiritual realm is more than enough, but it may indeed be a very wrong choice to practice it in the world. ”

Yao Ji looked at the Qingxiang student quietly.

If such a scholar had spoken of this, he would probably have already started scolding the streets.

But Yun Hu didn't know that he was still very peaceful.

Yun Hu didn't know how to wait for a long time, but he still didn't hear Yao Ji's voice, the scholar raised his head, and in the light of the oil cup, he looked at this Gu Chu goddess very seriously.

"What does the goddess think?"

Yaoji turned around calmly and looked at the forest in the night.

"You're right. But Yunhu didn't know. ”

"People in the world can't live well in this life only by relying on reason, and the more people who talk about reason, the more people who distinguish right from wrong, often will not live a very happy life."

Yun Hu fell silent.

"Even if everyone in the world is reasonable, but the disasters in the world are also unreasonable, the mountains will collapse, the water will flood, and walking in the night rain with an umbrella may all stumble and fall, and fall to death on the road. Do you think such a thing is reasonable to the world? If the sky is broken, people will die, the earth will sink, and the world will only float on the sea with driftwood. There is nothing in heaven and earth that will not happen. Therefore, in the Taoist texts of your world, there are the words of human law and earth, earth and heaven, heaven and heaven, and Tao and nature. Heaven and earth are naturally how the world can be, so in fact, when I look at your words on the great road of the world, it is nothing more than talking about indisputable and conforming. ”

Yun Hu didn't know and looked at the woman in the black dress in Lin Zi with some surprise.

There are many books in the Hanging Courtyard, but he really didn't think that Yao Ji would go to see the Taoist scriptures in the world.

This ancient Chu goddess looked back at the scholar and continued: "The people of the world have rebelled against the domination of gods and ghosts in the name of the Great Dao, but they have never thought that in fact, such a Taoist temple has already told you all the answers many years ago. ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to smile softly and said, "Yes, I didn't think that you had already read the Taoist scriptures of the world, but at the beginning, I had already said that the words of the sages may not be right." The stories that could be seen in the world 2,000 years ago are naturally different from those that can be seen in the world today. We never question the contribution of our ancestors to future generations, but the limitations of the times will always make them unable to see many things. The world is not a family, and the world is not a place to be held. The people of Hanyaguan may not have laughed at the savage people who were terrified when they saw fire for the first time. But this is the meaning of civilization, you must first see fire before you can understand it. I think the most beautiful story in the world is that the Taoist saint of the year, who woke up from the Styx by chance, looked at the current world, looked at the world for which he ran to solve his puzzles, and said with amazement - so it was! ”

The scholar of this Hanging Courtyard looked at Yao Ji very seriously.

"Humans and ghosts are different after all, goddess."

When Yao Ji heard this, she turned her head and looked up at the faint yellow mountain range in the distant night.

There are ancient rivers in the mountains, carrying the life and death of the world.

"If he wakes up by accident and just looks at the world sadly, I don't know, will your heart be broken?"

The scholar sat there in a daze.

It took a long time before the scholar said in disbelief: "Haven't the goddess seen the Dao Saint?" ”

Yao Ji said calmly, "Perhaps. ”

Up and down the River Styx, nothing more than the world.

This is what Emperor Huai proved back then.

It may indeed be possible that such a goddess who has risen from the River Styx has seen the last generation of the Hangu Temple in the world under the River Styx.

Yaoji didn't seem to want to mention the story of such a place in the River Styx, but said calmly: "It is undeniable that there is indeed infinite hope in the mud. But even if you get to the top of the mountain, it's just a dead end. That's life and death. It's better to drag the tail to the paint. At least you can end up at ease. ”

Yao Ji calmly walked out of the apricot forest.

"Small nations and widows, so that there are vessels of Shibo and not used, so that the people die heavy and do not move far. Although there is a boat, there is nothing to ride, although there are armor soldiers, there is nothing to show. to make people use it again and again. Willing to eat, beautiful clothes, live in peace, and enjoy customs. Neighboring countries look at each other, chickens and dogs hear each other, and people do not interact with each other until they are old and dead. ”

Yao Ji stopped at the entrance of the path, stood in the shadows of a forest of swaying trees, and looked back at Yun Hu quietly.

"This is the eightieth chapter of the five thousand words of your earthly green ox. I think such a person should be very good in the world. ”

Yun Hu sat at the stone table silently, and it took a long time before he said sincerely and firmly.

"I don't think so."

......

The wind and rain in Huaidu came to an end.

The vast capital is once again prosperous and peaceful.

Peace in the world is naturally the best thing in the world.

Living and working in peace and contentment will always be a compliment that will not expire in a worldly society.

Gu Xiaoer squatted at the door of the misty noodle restaurant in the early morning with a bowl of noodles, eating it very happily.

This is undoubtedly an excellent sign, so it is inevitable that a few people who were just going to pass by, looking at this little er with a rag on his shoulder, eating such a fragrant bowl of noodles, swallowing saliva, walked into the store to ask for noodles to eat.

Gu Xiaoer thought proudly, what is the quality of an old artist.

In fact, the bowl of noodles was very sloppy, and I didn't even put enough ingredients, after all, I just boiled water, and I just tried a bowl first.

But Gu Xiaoer still squatted at the door of the noodle restaurant and gulped on noodles.

As the night in the streets and alleys of Huaidu was really broken by the world, the noodle restaurant gradually became lively.

Gu Xiaoer also put down the dishes and chopsticks and started to be busy early in the morning.

The water in the back kitchen was steaming, and the noodles were brought to the front bowl after bowl.

In the early morning, the business of the noodle restaurant is naturally very good, after all, it is naturally the best thing to be able to simply eat a bowl of delicious noodles in the early morning.

It was busy until nearly noon, and the noodle shop gradually became idle.

The little two were very leisurely leaning against the window and chatting with melon seeds, watching the people coming and going outside the window gossiping.

Someone remembered Zhu Congwen, and then looked at Gu Xiaoer.

"Second brother, you said that Zhu Congwen's kid shouldn't be bullied in the Guozi Prison."

Gu Xiaoer wiped the table on the side, and said with a smile: "That's not true, I went to Guozijian once, although I couldn't get in, but I still asked people to call Zhu Congwen over, don't say it, he seems to have gained some weight, and he probably eats much better than in our noodle restaurant." ”

Of course, it may also be because of the story of the previous days that such a scholar was worried all day long, and it was inevitable that he would lose weight, and when everything returned to normal, his natural complexion would improve.

The crowd was talking a lot of jokes there.

"You said that he will really become a big official in the future, do we have to be more restrained and call the master?"

Gu Xiaoer said dryly: "If this kid dares to pose in front of our brothers, you see if I can break his braincase!" ”

"Haha

The people on the street looked at the little two people in this noodle shop with strange expressions, and they didn't know what they were laughing at.

Gu Xiaoer took advantage of some leisure time, moved a stool, ran to the door of the store to sit, and then touched something in his arms.

Xiao Er in the store saw Gu Xiaoer's appearance like this, and asked curiously, "Second brother, what good things are you touching, is it hidden private money?" ”

Gu Xiaoer smiled and took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it, and inside was a piece of persimmon that had not been eaten.

The little ones naturally didn't know what this meant, so they didn't care, and continued to turn their heads and go there to talk nonsense.

Persimmon wishful, naturally everything is good.

The smile on Gu Xiaoer's face did fade gradually.

In fact, he didn't see Zhu Congwen in Guozijian that time.

The scholar was probably busy reading, so he didn't have time to spare.

......

"In the year 993, it was in Huaidu that Li Shi met Mr. Xie who came from the Hanging Courtyard."

Liu Qinghe looked at the human streets and alleys in front of him, and said with a slight smile.

"Therefore, some stories in the world go to the view of mountains and rivers, and it is from that time that they begin."

Beside this Heavenly Hell Lord, stood calmly the human emperor in a black robe.

The eyes of the two of them fell on the long-looking long street that looked ordinary, there was a liquor shop on the long street, which had been open for many years, even if it was Liu Qinghe and Kamigawa, they might not remember how many years it had been open.

But what people don't remember, some words don't necessarily remember.

"Liu March was also there that year."

Kamigawa spoke calmly.

Back then, such a beautiful young Taoist fell into a warm mood that was enough to change his life in such a long street, like a spark falling from the sky.

Of course, Liu Qinghe knew that Kamigawa did not mean that Liu March was also one of them.

He knew very well that His Majesty actually liked such a Qingtian Daoist very much, otherwise how could a Daoist become a squire of the Huaidu Military Department?

"It is precisely because Liu March is also here that some things have been recorded."

Liu Qinghe said softly.

Such a Taoist who was a young man in March, after a long shock, turned around and found that the Taoist senior brother who was wandering in the world with him was gone.

He first went to find Zhang Xiaoyu, who was standing by the street vendor, waiting to eat fried rice cakes and baked buns - at that time, Zhang Xiaoyu was still only wearing a Taoist robe, not wearing a white coat like that, standing there upright and regular, even if he was looking forward to it in his heart, he just secretly rubbed his hands in the sleeves of the Taoist robe.

It's a pity that such a young man probably waited too much to get into his mind, but he didn't notice where his senior brother went.

As for Chen Qingshan.

The short-sighted man, not to mention, when he looked at the lights of the world, he was already full of flowers, like looking at a foggy mirror.

"Although nothing big is likely to happen in Huaidu." Liu Qinghe said softly. "But after all, it's Li Shi, the most talented person of this generation in the Daomen, and the Siwu Demon Mansion and the Heavenly Hell have helped to find it."

The Lord of Heaven looked at the door of the liquor store.

"It is said that Li Shi was found here. He was in a daze. However, Li Shi is a person of Guanzong after all, and his style of acting is more inclined to lack a door, and he has always been relatively quiet, so everyone doesn't care why this Taoist suddenly appeared here. ”

Kamigawa listened quietly, and then said, "What happened later? ”

Liu Qinghe sighed.

"It was an unintentional move by the Tiangong Division back then."

Xie Cangsheng came to Huaidu on behalf of the Hanging Academy, and the Tiangong Division was naturally quite curious about such a cultural academy, and was particularly curious about the departments of the School of Mathematics and Physics and the Academy of Customs, so he wanted to ask Xie Cangsheng to go to the Tiangong Division to talk. Only then did I discover the intersection of the two hidden in the years. ”

The world is the world of the people of the world.

Even if this is the co-master of the world today, it is naturally impossible to really look at everything.

At this point, Kamigawa finally understood the context of these events back then.

It was precisely because of this unexpected move of the Tiangong Division that it led to such a story that should have been buried, which was unearthed by everyone from the years.

Liu Qinghe took out some case files from his arms, flipped through them there, and said: "Xie Cangsheng went to the Hanging Courtyard to enroll in the Hanging Courtyard by himself, and later because of his superior talent, he was recommended to Qingtian Dao, for some reason, he did not enter the Great Dao, and twenty-one years ago, he left Qingtian Dao, returned to the Hanging Courtyard, and became a Mr. Qingniu Academy. It is worth mentioning that when I filled in my place of origin when I first entered the school, this person wrote a Tokai. ”

Kamigawa said lightly: "Xie Chaoyu should have had a wife in the world back then?" ”

Liu Qinghe nodded and said, "Yes, but it's been dead for many years." ”

This human emperor stood there quietly and looked at those long human streets, and after a long time, he said slowly: "The fleet of Kanhai Ya in the East China Sea should also return soon." ”

Liu Qinghe nodded and said, "It's already on the way." ”

Kamigawa turned away from the hanging street.

"Let Xie Chaoyu take them to Huaidu."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing Kamigawa in Huaidu is naturally not the same as seeing Kamigawa in a small town in the East China Sea.

In the world are three swords.

His Majesty in Huaidu.
