It's unbelievable! The third prince went to the capital to take the exam, and it happened on the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda that was "shocking" but "imperceptible", which is really a big strange thing! Who would have thought that Ye Wuwu, a talented man of letters, would still be so "uneven" on the way to Beijing to catch the exam? This "Big Wild Goose Pagoda Experience" seems to have nothing to do with his trip to Beijing to catch the exam, but Ye Wuwu is a person with a complex heart and broad connotation. This has already been mentioned before, and the third prince Ye has been in the capital for many times, as if everything is equally important to him! He wants to look for his "Wan Baoyu", he wants to find Chen Jiannan, who is known as "a classmate", he also has to go to Beijing to take the exam, and he also has to look for the Khitan killer Aliyekul and the "Yanshan Langdemon". However, he was very helpless, because he must never forget his master's earnest advice from Jingmei Daoist - don't use martial arts fraudulently to prevent being plotted by others. Learn to be patient! Endure!

In this way, Yah's harmless and silent helplessness turned into wordless patience, and he thought that after a hundred forbearance, it would become gold, and it would make him more calm and intelligent. However, at least for the third prince at that time, he didn't know that among the "four gods" he had just seen and heard, there was a "man of the way" who could deceive him all over his body. However, don't get this wrong. This "Taoist person" does not refer to those Taoist monks who really have the body and face of the "fairy wind and dao bones", but indeed refers to those righteous men and gentlemen who are in the "righteous path and lawlessness" but are "lawless and lawless".

If you ask what is a truly righteous man and gentleman, this is harmless to the third prince, it is already the words of the sage engraved in his heart, and he himself is training and cultivating himself towards this goal.

Here, it is extremely necessary for people with lofty ideals who want to go straight on the right path and be clean and self-disciplined, and it is extremely necessary to find out whose sacred words are engraved in the harmless heart of the third prince. What does it mean to be a true man of the way?

In the Confucian sayings of the third prince Ye harmless in the past, he has already remembered the following words of Meng's predecessors in "Mencius: Lilouxia"-

Mencius said: "Those who are adults do not lose their pure heart." The meaning of this sentence is to say, "The truly righteous are those who have not lost their infantile innocence and pure heart." Only innocent people are cultivated and moral people! ”

Not only this sentence of Mencius, but also deeply remembered a wise saying in "Mencius: Gongsun Chouxia"-

Mencius said: "There is a way in the world, and you will die with the way; There is no way in the world, and you are martyred; I have not heard of those who have been martyred by the word. The meaning of this sentence has a "clear to the bottom" in the harmless mind of the third prince. Its perfect meaning is to say, "As a righteous man and gentleman, when you are politically clear and you have your own aspirations, you should not care about your own gains and losses, go all out to contribute to the society, and let the politics of Qingming flourish; When the world is in a political turmoil, we must also adhere to the correct belief and would rather die than maintain the right path; Such a principle cannot be shaken, and I have never heard of the possibility of sacrificing the right path to submit to others. ”

As for these Confucian holy and supreme words like the "golden rule", they have long been engraved in the harmless heart of the third prince. However, what is imprinted in Ye Wuwu's mind is far from these Confucian sayings and aphorisms, such as Buddhism, Taoism, Yin and Yang Family, Legalism, Soldier, Famous Family, Mohist, Zongheng Family, Miscellaneous Family, Peasant Family, etc. And yes harmless is also a personal experience, a practice, with these wise sayings to guide his words and deeds. However, after all, yes harmless is only yes harmless, there is a way that "a wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake", and his prediction and action of the future will still have "yin and yang" events after all! Although there is a saying afterwards that "eat a trench, grow a wisdom", but there are thousands of ravines in this world that are difficult to count, why can't we cross these rights and wrongs as soon as possible? Therefore, some descendants once commented on Jesus' harmless poems:

Yin and yang are wrong, and evil spirits stay everywhere.

I don't know that the clouds have covered the sun, and no one in "Chang'an" has been worried since ancient times.

At this point, let's go beyond the "broken comments" at the end of these small branches, or continue our "main story in the book". However, I would like to make a special statement to you here that the predecessors once said that "the willows are weeping and the willows are multiplying". What this means is that an article, a complete story, is like a tall weeping willow with deep roots, a well-defined trunk, and lush foliage. Although it has many fine branches and leaves, they are descendants, branches and leaves born from a root and a trunk. This is just like the "Eight Strange Meridians" contained in the human body, although the main meridians and branch meridians are different, they are interconnected and one with each other. For the words and deeds in this, and even the "branches, branches and leaves" outside the "backbone", readers can enjoy and comprehend it as an after-dinner appreciation, just like appreciating a weeping willow swaying on the shore in the spring breeze, and will inevitably see its whole picture, trunk, branches, branches and leaves...... It is even a kind of "formless, silent, colorless, ruthless and tasteless" voice! Enjoying a story, a novel, probably the same should be. However, you don't have to exhaustively investigate the source of every "minutiae", and the correct way should be different from person to person. Places that are complicated, places that you don't understand, and even places that are wrong should be passed through in a deep or shallow way. The key thing is that we need to understand that a big tree "is scattered but not scattered, and the form is chaotic but not confused." "It depends on how the explorer grasps, how to surpass, and how to take the essence of "Chaos"! What is the essence of "Chaos"?

In fact, as long as the main trunk is prominent and the center is clear, you can add branches and leaves, color and color on it, and even "draw snakes and add feet", "carve boats to seek swords", "edge trees to seek fish", "guard plants and wait for rabbits", or perform a farce such as "Ye Gong is a good dragon", "praise the father chasing the sun", "go from the south to the north", "cover your ears and steal the bell", "indiscriminately fill the number", "pull out the seedlings to grow" and so on.

Therefore, the comments, descriptions, quotations, explanations, and all the "branches and leaves" with academic and appreciative value used in the story of "Heroic Souls in Troubled Times" are all the troubled times experienced by the central trunk of this "heroic soul"; Of course, their existence is not only to serve this central theme, not to mention, their existence can only be "icing on the cake", not "painting snakes"! is a "reference", not a useless "waste".

Therefore, when we look beyond these "branches and leaves" to find their "trunk", we should learn to "universally connect with the imagination", just as the scattered veins will eventually merge into the meridians of the main trunk; Just like the tributaries of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, they still have to merge into the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, the Bohai Sea, and the Pacific Ocean without turning back, and even they will spread all over the earth!

In the eyes of many people, the above words seem to be "gossip", more like "nonsense", as if they have nothing to do with the "heroes of troubled times"! But can you realize something from these words? …… What's the secret about it? What does that mean? Is it a "connecting line"? It depends on how the story develops and goes in the future. At this moment, the third prince Ye harmless has completely broken free from the troubles and fog of the Tai Chi Yin and Yang Five Elements Baguazhang, he only feels that his whole body seems to have inexhaustible energy and strength, and his mind is clearer and his eyes are brighter. He saw the smoke and dust gradually disappearing in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and he expected that the four murderous demons had gone away. So, he simply flew down from the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, intending to walk out of the gloomy Big Wild Goose Pagoda to explore again.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Little bunny, you're finally out! ”

At first glance, hearing the sound of wild laughter, the third prince who had just settled down felt like thunder. However, he immediately calmed down again. Yes, this murderous "Yanshan Lang Demon" is behind him. Although this demon had spared him once in the cave of Wudang Mountain, for this time, he would not let him survive no matter what! Even though he remembered that Daoist Jingmei had said that this "Yanshan Lang Demon" was Master Fashen's junior disciple, and Master Fashen was his master, it was to no avail that Ye Wuwu wanted to mention this matter to this murderous demon. The only way now is to take risks and risk death to escape! Fortunately, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was dim and blurry, and the demon could not recognize his face at all, and if he had escaped, the demon would have been unable to find him in the future.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Little bunny, turn your face away and let me see what you look like! ”

"Humph! Murderous demon without blinking, why do you still look at me! Ye Wuwu couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "I'm not that stupid!" How can I make it so easy for you to see my face? Delusion! ”

"Little bunny! Why are you standing there and not talking? Do you dare to make two moves with me? ”

Hearing this, Ye Wuwu will feel a little weak in his heart. In his opinion, with his current martial arts, he is definitely under the "Yanshan Lang Demon"! However, this is the so-called "a wise man must make a mistake if he thinks a thousand times". In fact, the current skill of the third prince Ye is not trivial, not to mention that the Tai Chi Yin and Yang Bagua Palm has greatly increased his skill; If he was relative in strength, he was fully capable of killing the "Yanshan Wave Demon" to the ground, not to mention that the "Soul Shaking Dafa" of the "Yanshan Wave Demon" had been abolished by Master Fashen, and he would not be able to resume this kind of exercise again in a year and a half. However, this was something that he did not expect, and it was also due to the underestimation of his mind. How did he know that the positive and negative aspects of things were only a thought or a moment.

"Humph! Two tricks with you? I'll kill you in two years. Now the most important thing is how I get out right under your nose! When he thought of this, he was heartbroken, secretly used his strength, and then stomped on one foot. I only heard a loud "boom", and Ye Wuwu had already slid down all over his body, leaving only a piece of dust and smoke in his place......

"Ahh Little Bunny! I want to slip! How can I let you go! The Yanshan Lang Demon shouted angrily, and then turned into a black wind and chased down the floor-

However, the "Yanshan Wave Demon" chased to the lower level, but it was quiet, where was the shadow he was looking for? However, the Wave Demon is still murderous and chasing. In a fit of anger, he continued to search the Big Wild Goose Pagoda layer by layer, but what he could get was still a blank look! At this moment, the "Yanshan Wave Demon" stood steeply in the middle of the bottom of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, his mind was obviously full of anger, but his eyes full of blood-light and murderous aura were still spinning, hoping to find the shadow of the little rabbit cub around the bottom layer. However, under the miscalculation of the "Yanshan Lang Demon", in the end, he chased out of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and did not know where to go......

However, what the "Yanshan Lang Demon" never expected was that the "prey" he was going to hunt down was just following behind him, and he didn't notice it at all, which could not but be said that the latter's light skills were already superb. At this time, the third prince of this scene is harmless, and has followed the "Yanshan Wave Demon" standing in the center of the bottom of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, he saw that the murderous demon has floated out, but his heart is a joy and a worry: the joy is that he has "escaped from the tiger's mouth"; The worry is that this "Yanshan Wave Demon" is popular in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how many martial arts warriors will suffer in the future, and the martial arts catastrophe will be out of control.
