The door of the study was closed, and it was here that Chu Xiqing first met the national teacher Chen Shu, and it was also not far from the study that the little girl told Chu Xiqing the news of the stone knife.

Since it has landed here, it should be the national teacher who has made a move. Putting the sword into Taiqing, Chu Xiqing stood up, mustered up the courage to knock on the door, knock, no one in the house responded after three sounds. He only served as a national teacher and handled state affairs elsewhere.

Shaking his head slightly, he turned around to leave, and suddenly a familiar voice sounded in his heart: "Brother, I'll show you the way, come to find me." ”

"Brother, you say, I'm listening." Chu Xiqing was very happy, he thought that he would face the national teacher alone, and he was still a little nervous.

Chu Xuping chatted with Chu Xiqing while talking about the route, which made Chu Xiqing have to sigh at the convenience of this sound transmission technique. I must let my brother teach me in the future, Chu Xiqing secretly made up his mind.

"Brother, how was the trip to Jingcheng? Was it successful? Chu Xuping asked with a smile, in fact, he had already guessed that Chu Xiqing had successfully obtained the stone knife and unlocked the secret of it when he caught a glimpse of the reaction of the national teacher Chen Shu in a certain hall.

"I got it, but it wasn't a stone knife, it was a sword, and it was weird."

"Well, by the way, brother, if someone wants to give you something, you can just excuse yourself."

Although Chu Xiqing was puzzled, he still agreed.

The roads in the palace are complicated, and the palace walls are surrounded by one another, if there is no Chu Xuping to guide the way, Chu Xiqing feels that he will inevitably get lost in the palace.

After turning a corner, a young man in white suddenly appeared in the corridor in front of him, with wide sleeves, wearing a purple crown with a bundle of hair, a hosta pinned to the crown, and pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

It's strange to say, the first time he saw the young man in white, Chu Xiqing found that Chu Xuping's voice in his heart had disappeared, and no matter how he called, he couldn't get a response.

As if sensing his gaze, the young man in white stopped and turned his head to look at Chu Xiqing, with a kind smile on his face.

Chu Xiqing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. He didn't know the identity of the young man in white, and he was able to roam the palace so freely, could it be a prince?

"Zhou Changsheng." The young man in white hugged his fists.

"Chu Xiqing." He felt that in this palace, even if he directly reported his real name, it would not be a problem.

"Oh! Brother Chu's name is quite nice! However, some of them are too big, I don't know if Brother Chu can afford it. The young man in white walked over with a smile and looked Chu Xiqing up and down unabashedly.

Chu Xiqing's face was strange, he didn't know the meaning of the white-clothed young man's sentence "too big", he picked the previous sentence "quite good", and also complimented: "Brother Zhou's name is also quite good, Changsheng, I sincerely wish Brother Zhou can be like this." "These scenes will not lose a piece of meat, and everyone has face, why not?

The young man in white nodded with satisfaction, very good, very acquainted.

Then the young man in white suddenly said in surprise: "I see that Brother Chu's outfit is not from the palace, isn't it such a young jinshi?" ”

Chu Xiqing hurriedly shook his head, remembering his career that had just passed the children's test and died, and couldn't help but smile helplessly, "I'm just here to find someone." ”

The white-clothed young man sighed when he heard this, and then said: "Then Brother Chu is at least a scholar, have you ever heard a saying that you don't know what you can't do, a fool, you don't do what you can't do, a sage, you know what you can't do, and a saint too?" ”

Chu Xiqing nodded, a little puzzled: "I've heard of it, it's right, what does Brother Zhou think?" ”

Zhou Changsheng, a young man in white, laughed twice, his face full of mockery, "Yes, it is indeed very right, but ah, some people believe in this sentence too much, thinking that they can be that saint and can do that extremely difficult thing, but in fact they are just grasshoppers shaking the tree, and they are extremely stupid." Originally, he was honestly a sage, and in the future, he might really have the opportunity to become a so-called saint in some things, but unfortunately, he had to do his best, and if he left a way out, he would be a fool. ”

His words were inexplicable, making people scratch their heads, and Chu Xiqing listened to it in a fog, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to agree: "What Brother Zhou said is wonderful, you must be self-aware." ”

"Do you really think so?" Zhou Changsheng's eyes widened, full of surprise, seeing Chu Xiqing nodding, he laughed, holding his stomach and laughing, his expression was very exciting, as if he heard the best joke in the world, and it was like a smug laugh after disgusting his opponent.

Weirdo, really weirdos! Chu Xiqing didn't want to stay longer for a moment, so he hurriedly gave up his hand and said apologetically: "Brother Zhou, I'm really sorry, the person I'm looking for should be in a hurry, and I'll talk about it again." ”

Zhou Changsheng in white was still laughing, and tears were laughing out of his eyes. He wiped away his tears with one hand and waved with the other, "Oh, indeed, that person should be in a hurry, you should go quickly." ”

Seeing this, Chu Xiqing was like being amnestied, and ran away, and the path pointed out by Chu Xuping's last voice soon disappeared.

Zhou Changsheng rubbed his cheeks, which were a little numb with laughter, stared at the direction of Chu Xiqing's departure, tilted his head, and had a secretive expression.

Going around all the way, Chu Xiqing quickly rushed to the location explained by Chu Xuping, for fear of meeting any strange people again, thinking back to the crazy appearance of Zhou Changsheng, he couldn't help but feel that the forest was big and there were all kinds of birds.

In the Hanging Moon Palace, Chu Xuping was suddenly a little anxious after he couldn't sense his younger brother and tried several times to no avail, he looked at the national teacher Chen Shu, he was thinking about some questions raised by a monk in a certain immortal academy that was equivalent to a jinshi in the imperial examination. Chen Yan shook his head, signaling him to rest assured.

After waiting for a while, there was still no induction, Chu Xuping just wanted to go out to look for it, and he felt the breath of his younger brother Chu Xiqing outside the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief, and wondered in his heart, who else in this palace had such means?

Chu Xiqing stepped into the Hanging Moon Palace, saw the national teacher Chen Shu, and hurriedly made a move, and then was pulled by Chu Xuping to his side for questioning.

"What did you encounter on the way here? Have you ever been hurt? Chu Xuping asked with concern.

Chu Xiqing shook his head, frowned, and hesitated: "I met a young man on the road, who claimed to be Zhou Changsheng, was a very strange person, and said a lot of inexplicable things. ”

Hearing the words "Zhou Changsheng", Chu Xuping was shocked, but quickly restrained his expression.

Chen Yan just frowned and continued to look at the bamboo slip in his hand.

Having never seen his brother react like this, Chu Xiqing was puzzled: "What's the matter, brother, is this Zhou Changsheng a great person?" ”

Chu Xuping didn't explain anything, "What did he say to you, do you remember?" ”

Chu Xiqing said Zhou Changsheng's words as they were, Chu Xu was silent, but Chen Shu sneered.

Chen Shu got up, walked to the front of the hall with his hands behind his back, the sun was shining under the eaves, Chen Shu was bathed in it, he first turned his head to look at Chu Xiqing in the hall, with a gentle smile on his face, and then turned around slowly, "How can there be any saints, but for the sake of an ideal in his heart, as for the result, it is up to the fate of heaven." He said with a little bitterness at the end.

"If no one makes a change, who knows if a fool can do what he knows he can't do?" Chu Xuping added with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Chu Xiqing blinked, knowing that they should be talking about something, but he didn't seem to be able to interject at all.

A string of laughter suddenly came from the roof beam, full of disdain, and a white shadow jumped down and hovered half a meter above the ground, it was the young man Zhou Changsheng.

His voice was slightly cold, and he sneered: "Since you said that you will listen to the mandate of heaven, don't you know that the will of heaven cannot be violated, and everything you do is contrary to the will of heaven, and against the general trend, there is only one end, the body and spirit are destroyed, and the body and death are gone." ”

While he was talking, the Great Zhou Emperor Zhou Ruke also entered the Hanging Moon Palace, without saying a word, just watching.

When the words fell, Zhou Ruke bent down and bowed, and said respectfully: "Ancestor." ”

Zhou Changsheng smiled, but his eyes were cold, "Ke'er, your decision is somewhat against your ancestors. ”

Zhou Ruke straightened his waist and said with a smile: "Why can't it be pioneering and innovative?" He walked up to Chu Xuping and Chen Shu and stood side by side with them.

And Chu Xiqing seemed to be unconscious of all this, Chu Xuping and Chen Shu were normal in Chu Xiqing's eyes, and there was no change, let alone Emperor Zhou Ruke.

Chen Shu shook his head and smiled: "Providence? Who can represent Providence? Those ones in Zhongyu Yangzhou? I'm afraid not. What is the general trend, who can say clearly, fleeting things, the general trend of the world in the future, may change from the Great Zhou. ”

"Tut, it's a pity that your Chen Shu Avenue is not here, you want to walk out of a road that is most in line with your heart, and achieve a supreme path to becoming an immortal, in the end, let me be a junior to take the lead and achieve the immortal position, otherwise maybe there is a real chance." If there is a day in the future, will you give up the immortal path for the so-called ideal? I'm looking forward to it. The white-clothed boy Zhou Changsheng said with a smile.

"The heavens and the earth are turned upside down, when I start from my Great Zhou, although I will not regret death." Zhou Ruke said with a smile.

"I don't regret dying." Then two more.

"Not to mention the future, since you have come back from Zhongyu Yangzhou, your situation is not much better than ours, it's like you can't get along in the city, you can only come back to farm?" Chen Shu said with a smile.

"Humph!" Zhou Changsheng snorted coldly, and the killing intent was directed at Chen Shu, Chen Shu snorted, blood overflowed from his mouth, but there was still a smile on his face.

He stared at Chen Yan for a while, then waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw each other's helplessness.

There was only one Chu Xiqing, who listened to Chen Yan explain the content of the bamboo slips with a smile.
