The Third Watch of the First Calendar (Chapter 37)

In order to let his apprentices realize the true face of this river and lake more clearly, Mu Lianzi can be regarded as painstaking, after all, Xingyun grew up on Qingcheng Mountain since he was a child, and he is clearly ingrained in the distinction between good and evil.

"Being decent doesn't mean that everything is righteous, but we have to be righteous on the surface. In fact, we also have a lot of interests that are traded privately. Mu Lianzi wants to tell Xingyun all this, so that Xingyun's understanding of the rivers and lakes can break through the simple level of justice and evil.

Xingyun was puzzled when he heard this: "Doesn't this mean that we are also the same as those evil sects? ”

Mu Lianzi said with a smile: "Of course not, the difference between the famous and the evil is obvious, the famous and decent pay attention to their reputation, even if some things cannot be put on the table, they can only be solved in private." That is to say, in front of the world, the decent still have to restrain themselves. And the evil sect is to do evil in the open. Looking at Xingyun, Mu Lianzi continued: "Don't underestimate the difference between the two, 'restraining yourself' is a kind of justice in itself. The eyes of the world, the reputation of the sect, these are all restraining the various sects, so although the famous and decent sects cannot guarantee complete justice, their justice is relative, compared with the evil sect, this is enough. ”

"Celebrities and decencies also have their own interests, and they also have to protect and fight for their own interests, but they must restrain themselves to abide by the rules to fight, at least on the surface. In order to survive, each sect must safeguard and fight for its own interests, and the difference in practice has formed a distinction between the righteous and the evil, although the so-called good and evil are relative. "Although Mu Lianzi still wants to teach his apprentices, he can't say too much at one time, these are enough for Xingyun to digest and understand, and more importantly, Xingyun needs to experience it himself.

In fact, Mu Lianzi still has a very important thing not to say, where is the famous and decent sect more clever than the evil faction? In fact, it does not mean that the martial arts of the famous and decent are much higher than the evil sects, but that they are clever in their actions. The righteous and the evil are equally competing for profit, but the result is that one is admired by the world, and the other is regarded as evil, which is self-evident.

Xingyun thought carefully about Mu Lianzi's words, but Mu Lianzi didn't urge him to understand, and the master and apprentice calmed down.

In the morning, Xingyun and Mu Lianzi, who were still full of thoughts, continued their search for Dan, although Xingyun had not yet fully understood the essence of the rivers and lakes, but his light skills were becoming more and more proficient, and because of the support of two true qi, so in terms of endurance, Xingyun's performance surprised Mu Lianzi, but when he thought that he couldn't ask the reason for the progress of the two apprentices' martial arts, Mu Lianzi couldn't help but smile bitterly. But Mu Lianzi is reasonable, and he doesn't delve too deeply, after all, they are all his own apprentices, not to mention, there must be a reason.

===================================

To say that all the way from Sichuan, Mu Lianzi and Xingyun have not had a good rest, and at this moment, the master and apprentice came to Guiyang, the largest city in Guizhou, and naturally they had to take a good rest by the way.

The largest inn in Guiyang is Jingzetang, a century-old brand, and when you go into the city, the tallest building is. Walking into the lobby on the first floor, you will be greeted by the aroma of wine and food. Then there is the noise, quite noisy, the greeting of Xiao Er, the noisy conversation of the guests, the shouting of the vendors outside the street, all kinds of voices are filled with all kinds of sounds, although it is very noisy, but this is also a symbol of vitality, such vitality is what Xingyun needs most now.

Xingyun likes the atmosphere here very much, because when he was on Qingcheng Mountain, he was always with Mu Wudao and Xingjun Master and Apprentice, even with Yuan Sirong and Mu Lianzi, there were only five people, and it was usually very deserted, so this time when he went down the mountain, Xingyun's favorite place was a lively place, which could also make the noisy sound stop his cranky thoughts about Yuan Sirong's condition.

It was noon, and the lobby was full, and the private rooms on the second and third floors looked like they were full.

"Guest officer, are you going to be a tip or a hotel?" Seeing that the two of Mu Lianzi's master and apprentice had entered the inn, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

Looking at the full lobby, Mu Lianzi said, "An upper room, but eat here, you see if there are seats." After speaking, he threw a small piece of broken silver to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er immediately accepted it in surprise, and greeted him more attentively: "Uncle, you two should go up to the second floor, there is a private room between chrysanthemums, you come with me." After getting the broken silver, Mu Lianzi and Xingyun were directly upgraded from "guest officer" to "uncle", which is also one aspect of Mu Lianzi's education Xingyun, but Xingyun paid all his attention to the liveliness of the lobby, and the interest in looking around was high, which made Mu Lianzi shake his head and sigh and throw the silver.

Upstairs, close to the private room outside the arms, the master and apprentice sat down, and after ordering the wine and food, Mu Lianzi looked around, and Xingyun was listening intently to the loud voice downstairs blowing some so-called martial arts secrets, this can be regarded as one of the must-have programs for everyone who runs the rivers and lakes to gather in the tavern inn, which has existed in the rivers and lakes for thousands of years, and this inn in Guiyang is naturally no exception. As soon as he entered the inn, Xingyun heard the voice of the loud voice, which could still remain clear in such a noisy environment, and he had to praise the voice of the big man, which was really powerful.

Xingyun leaned towards the railing at this time, and looked at the loud voice downstairs, a man in his thirties and forties, with his upper body open, blushing from the smell of alcohol, and now he was talking about the level of the various sects in the martial arts.

"If you want to talk about this Central Plains martial arts, there are so many sects! But there are not many big sects that can make the entire rivers and lakes shake three times with a stomp of their feet, such as Shaolin Wudang. He said in a loud voice.

"Go! Who doesn't know that Shaolin Wudang is powerful? Do you need to say this? The crowd shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

"And what do you want to hear? I, Liu Dali, have traveled south and north, what sect has I not seen? I'm afraid that you haven't heard of the sect that comes out, so it's not playing the piano to the cow? Liu Dali, who had a loud voice, argued.

"What is playing the harp to the cow? If you have the ability, you can say it, let's listen. The people on the side were coaxing, and the scene was very lively.

At this moment, in such a noisy environment, a young man's voice entered everyone's ears: "Those little ladies of the Tianshan Sword Sect are good, that man, tell me to tell my son." ”
