Stepping over the mountain in front of him, drilling out of the mountain forest in front of him, walking on the avenue, and rushing to meet a wishful heart.

I saw that not far away, several families scattered among the pines and cypresses of the ancient acacia, a flag written with the words "hospitable and moral", climbed out of the bushes along the flagpole, danced in the wind non-stop, eye-catching.

Although the four of them were happy, they saw that the sun was still early in the west, and they thought that they would hurry forward for a while. Unexpectedly, a singing voice mixed with a piano sounded and came melodiously, ethereal and ethereal. The wise Venerable Master who was walking ahead paused for a moment, looked at the flagpole, and slowly walked away to the sound of the piano singing. Seeing this, Liu Qing, Zuo Tuming, and Dugu You followed behind step by step, for fear that the footsteps would disturb the melody of the piano.

"The mountains are majestic, the mountains are towering..."

"The sun and the moon shine, and the sky is reckless..."

"There is a lot of turmoil, and the hearts of the people are scattered..."

"Don't linger in your arms, sing in the middle of the festival..."

"The flowing water is cloudy, the moonlight and the wind..."

"It's hard to find a bosom friend, silk and bamboo are harmonious..."

"When the heart has more than enough strength, heaven and earth are together..."

"The road is simple, and the outside is detached."

Just a few steps away from passing the flagpole, the sound of the piano dissipated in an instant, and the singing stopped in an instant.

The Venerable Master quickly turned around and left with Liu Qing, Zuo Tuming, and Dugu You.

Liu Qing turned around and just took a step, when he heard a voice behind him, "Li Yiru, since you're here, why don't you eat this chaotic meal before leaving." This is chaotic, but I wrapped it myself, and I specially prepared it for you. is in such a hurry to go, isn't it that he is old, and the tiger body and dog guts are not enough, so he can't stand this affection, right? ”

When the Venerable Master heard this, he snorted slightly, turned around and saw Zhao Mingxiu, who was surrounded by dozens of black-clothed people, and said with mixed feelings in his heart, "I thought it was!" It turned out to be an old monster with only one eye left, no wonder the dog began to look down on people. ”

Zhao Mingxiu thought that the limit of the wise master was approaching, and he was about to settle in the ground, and it would take a lot of effort to have a verbal dispute with him, so he smiled faintly.

But the black-clothed man beside him was not happy, and one of them stood up and shouted: "Li Yiru, you are dying, and you still can't change the stinky problem ......of deceiving others with words, no wonder people in the rivers and lakes don't like to take care of you, and are always willing to talk about you behind your back" Seeing Zhao Mingxiu waved his hand, he immediately stopped his words.

The wise Venerable Master saw that the other party was numerous, and if he wanted to escape today, it would be as good as climbing to the sky without a ladder. Thinking that it was okay to lose the fight, but not even the ventriloquist that had always been unrivaled, he said to the man in black who interjected just now: "Listen to you say something, you have to look at the master's face and act, it is no different from an eagle dog." How dare you be so rebellious and unfilial, and rank with beasts, and waste your parents to give birth to you as a human being. After a slight pause, he continued: "You are a thing that wears human skin, and your flesh, flesh, and blood are no different from that of a beast, and you can always gasp in front of people, and your words are chiseled. ”

The man in black gasped when he heard this, and the black cloth bulging in front of his mouth came out: "Li Yiru, you are not a Confucian, a monk is not a monk, and you are not a Tao... Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism can't tolerate monsters, what qualifications do you have to speak out here. If I were you, I would dig a dog hole and go in and wait for death, so as not to be embarrassed in front of the world. ”

When the wise Venerable Master Li Yiru heard these words, not only did he not get angry, but laughed loudly and said in a chiseled manner: "Joke! I, Li Yiru, heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are only with me. Whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, or soldiers, legalists, Mohists, doctors, farmers, yin and yang, vertical and horizontal families, that is, the hundred schools of thought, as long as the ten thousand laws tend to be perfect, they can be unified by the sea. ”

Zhao Mingxiu said: "Li Yiru, your theory of the integration of the three religions has been displayed for so many years, and who has ever given you a cheer." You are tireless and not tired, others are tired, and they are so tired that they don't want to talk to you anymore. Even if you can win the strengths of all families, aren't you just one person, what do you use to persuade the world to abandon the view of the door and become one family? In my opinion, you can die with peace of mind today, and wait for the next life to be reincarnated in a good family, gain fame, and achieve your heart's desire with the power of official learning. ”

If you want the wise master to die with peace of mind, Zhao Mingxiu still doesn't understand him Li Yiru enough, and looks down on him Li Yiru too much.

Although the wise Venerable Master Li Yiru wanted to guide people to evil and turn to good with "Buddha's mind and nature", and although he wanted to persuade people to cultivate themselves with "Taoism and nature, natural unity", he was influenced by Confucian scholarship since he was a child. In the face of evil, we will do our best to promote the righteousness of heaven and earth, but we are afraid that we will not be able to do so, and we will be willing to die.

Seeing the invincible Zhao Mingxiu, I don't know who blinded one eye, but the myth of the first martial arts of my own respect has been broken, and the wise master has a lot of peace in his heart. said: "Zhao Mingxiu, you have become a one-eyed dragon, and you still fantasize about intimidating people in the name of a martial saint, is it a little too self-conscious." In terms of fists and feet, you may be slightly better than brute force. But when it comes to mind, life and death, you are simply standing opposite me, and you have already lost a mess. You want to decide the winner with your martial arts, win or lose by numbers, and bluff those eagle dog minions next to you, in front of me, don't even think about it. ”

The man in black who had spoken earlier would never listen to what the Venerable Master had said, so he jumped out and slashed with his palm.

The wise master pulled Liu Qing away from him, palmed him up, and sent the man in black back in an instant, almost knocking the man in black behind him down.

Seeing such a scene, many of the men in black turned their heads to look at each other, as if in their memories, the wise master should not be like this.

Zhao Mingxiu said: "Li Yiru, you are deeply hidden, you hide it well, and you have deceived the world. But you shouldn't have fought with Jiang Qingqing, and you have come to a battle without winning or losing many times, and you have repeatedly exposed your skills, which makes people jealous and makes me guarded. ”

The wise Venerable Master said, "Zhao Mingxiu, I never thought of challenging you, what are you afraid of, what are you guarding against? ”

Zhao Mingxiu replied with a smile: "Haven't you been looking for the cause of death of your confidante Xiuxinwu?" How can you not be guarded against. ”

The wise master said, "Apparently, you know who the man in black is. ”

Zhao Mingxiu said with a smile: "How can I not know, I have been with him day and night for decades, eating and sleeping together every day, inseparable." ”

The Venerable Master smiled, "You don't mean to say that that person is you, are you?" ”

Zhao Mingxiu replied with a smile: "You haven't been stupid yet, and now you know that it's me who comes." ”

The Venerable Master smiled and said, "Actually, I had already guessed that it was you, but I was forced by your fame in the rivers and lakes, if I couldn't let you admit it myself, I really couldn't think of any good way to get you, so I just kept pretending not to know." But you're blind in one eye today, and even if you don't admit it yourself, I don't think I'll let you go again. When people are in power, it is right to hold flowers and applause, and when people are in power, there is nothing wrong with beating the water dogs. You said no? ”

Zhao Mingxiu sneered and said: "Li Yiru, the tiger is difficult to defeat the wolves, I am afraid that you will have revenge today, and it will be difficult to snow if you have injustice, so you can only try to be straightforward and happy." ”

The wise Venerable Master replied with a smile: "Zhao Mingxiu, you are wrong, and you have thought too much. It's true that you are a group of wolves, but I am not a tiger, and tigers will eat people when they are hungry. Death by starvation is very small, and loss of temper is very great, and I should be angry. Besides, I'm not alone, there are three standing behind me, and there are thousands of them secretly, but you can't see it with your naked eyes. ”

In fact, the wise Venerable Master was right, there were indeed thousands of people standing behind him, and although there were few of his peers, there were many of them. And they all have righteousness in their hearts, not only the natural way, the natural unity, but also the unity of knowledge and action.

Although it is called moral theology and serves the legitimacy of divine power and royal power, it is the most refined and complete theoretical system in ancient China, and its influence is profound and huge. The most important physicists of the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty", had already been born, and all they needed was time for them to draw nourishment from Buddhism, Taoism, and other scholarship based on Confucianism, to become famous and theoretical, and to show their strength in the world of philosophical thought.

Zhao Mingxiu said that his amount is just a martial artist, and he has the title of a martial saint, but it is just a random pursuit by people in the rivers and lakes, where he knows what "cultivation must be respected, and studying is in Zhizhi", not to mention knowing what "everything in the world can be poor, but it is just a reason, and the reason of a thing is the reason of all things." "That's it.

What's the mouth, Zhao Mingxiu can't do Li Yiru anyway. Zhao Mingxiuliang did not lose his due majesty in front of his subordinates in order to seek a breakthrough, and said very pragmatic words: "Li Yiru, we met here today, all because Zuo Tuming and Dugu Right are still alive. If you don't care about the life and death of the two of them and leave, I, Zhao Mingxiu, don't have to ask for your life to be willing. ”

The Wise Master never thought that Zhao Mingxiu would be so stupid and would miss this perfect opportunity for disaster in vain, so as if Zhao Mingxiu had not said anything, he replied: "Zhao Mingxiu, there is no need for you to cry in front of me and say some insincere lies. Since I dared to take Zuo Tuming and Dugu Right behind me, I never thought of handing them over to anyone, let alone a heinous person like you. Dead this heart is. ”

Zhao Mingxiu sneered: "Li Yiru, I originally wanted to let you go for the sake of you living for such a long time, so that you can live for the rest of your life, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant." Well, today I will fulfill you, so that you can feel what will happen if you are strong. Let's make a move, see what you have to do to save the lives of these two. ”
