After the ceremony ended, the people of the Songbai Second Sect stayed in the palace of the king of Chu to rest, while Chu Nan and Lao Chen Bing split into two ways.

Lao Chen, Shen You, and Wei Shuang took Zhuang Yushan and others from Dayuan Academy to play around in the land of the three states and nine counties of Zhongjiao, and as guides, these three people were more than enough.

The carriage slowly drove through the long clean and tidy road, and walked all the way.

Zhuang Yushan and Lao Chen were in the same carriage, while Shen You was in the same carriage as Qin Guang and Zhou Feng, and Wei Shuang was in the same carriage as the monarchs of the three dynasties.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was soft, and Lao Chen and Zhuang Yushan didn't seem to have much appetite for the snacks and fruits on the table.

In fact, this banquet, the wine tasted, and some ingredients are actually from Zhongzhou, this time Songzong up and down, to assist Chu Nan's ceremony, from the small ingredients, to the reception of guests, to negotiate with the Nanzhou bigwigs, openly and secretly, revealing the posture of Songzong and Zhongjiao together.

Invisibly, it also established a lot of prestige for Chu Nan.

People also have a clearer judgment about the future situation.

Zhuang Yushan smiled and said to Lao Chen with a soft face: "I have mentioned you in Chu Nan, and it is only a few words, knowing that you are a very capable person and a very kind person, but on the Xizhou Continent, there are really few rumors about you, and you are really awe-inspiring about this." ”

Everyone knows that Chu Nan is a peerless talent, but not many people know who Chu Nan's master is.

Not to mention that the people of Dayuan Academy don't know the specific roots of Lao Chen, in fact, even the people of Longchang Town don't know who Lao Chen's character is.

Lao Chen gently responded: "Young people are easier to remember, young people also have infinite possibilities, I am old, but everything that needs to be in the limelight, if you can avoid it, try to avoid it." ”

"It's good now, I'm Chu Nan's master, but not many people care about my existence."

Zhuang Yushan gave a thumbs up and said, "When the master can be in such a realm, you are the first person." ”

"When many people report their home, they will say where their master is sacred, and when they come to you, they only need to say who your apprentice is, and they do the opposite, and you don't care that your apprentice is too sharp."

Lao Chen replied with a smile on his face: "The disciple doesn't have to be inferior to the teacher. ”

"It's good to see some things, in fact, many elderly people will have a lot of vanity, but in fact, this is not good, of course, the specific situation in which everyone is in is different, this is just my personal opinion."

Zhuang Yushan asked curiously for a moment: "So, you didn't leave a hand for your apprentice?" ”

Lao Chen paused, and then laughed: "Could it be that a legendary academy like Dayuan Academy would also do such a thing?" ”

The master keeps a hand for the apprentice, and the apprentice leaves a hand for his own apprentice, generation after generation, and in the end, no matter how great the glory, the inheritance will be severed.

For the secular people, keeping a hand is just afraid that the disciples of the church will starve to death of the master.

For people in the cultivation world, keeping a hand is also afraid of the rebellion of their apprentices, after all, human nature cannot stand the test.

In fact, even many fathers and sons secretly kept a hand.

One generation is stronger than the next, in fact, it is the expectation of poor families for their children, and for large families, when Lao Tzu is a person, he does not want his son's achievements to surpass himself, once he surpasses Lao Tzu, then Lao Tzu will naturally lose a lot of real power.

Power is too easy for people to get up, and deep down, many emperors have always kept a hand on their crown princes.

The relationship between father and son, king and minister, master and apprentice is sometimes very delicate.

Maybe at some point, they will be united, but there will also be many times, they are suspicious of each other, and even like a mirror in their hearts, but they all tacitly did not pierce the layer of window paper.

Hearing Lao Chen's words, Zhuang Yushan said a little helplessly: "Actually, I didn't leave a hand for my protégé, but I don't dare to guarantee that the rest of the people have a hand for their protégé." ”

"It's hard to say."

"A great inheritance, slowly no longer great, this must be inextricably linked with leaving a hand, you see, when many sects are about to decline, there is often an unpopular apprentice, who accidentally went to the back mountain, and found the inheritance of the exercises of this sect before the ancient times, and then this sect rose again, of course, there are also people who found the inheritance before the ancient times, but they died in the hands of their most trusted master, or in the hands of their sisters, similar to such things, in fact, there are many, But at the end of the day, it's all about human nature. ”

After hearing this, Lao Chen said with a straight face: "Anyway, I didn't leave a hand on Chu Nan, Chu Nan has cultivated Yuan Qi, but I, the person who is a master, have not cultivated Yuan Qi yet." ”

"In the future, Chu Nan's achievements will far surpass me, in fact, he has surpassed me now, but many people think that I am really a very powerful person, but in fact, I am not that powerful."

Zhuang Yushan said: "No, you are still powerful, but you are very powerful in some places that no one cares about." ”

Lao Chen said with a suspicious face: "What are some places that no one cares about?" ”

Zhuang Yushan said with a sad face: "You are sincere, and many people are just sincere in their mouths, and in terms of specific actions, they have been secretly playing tricks. ”

"And a lot of people are just reading dead books."

"But there is no way, after all, most people only care about superficial articles, firmly believe that rubbing powder on their faces, must be seen, but ignore the exploration of diet, the regulation of internal organs."

Lao Chen is not a talkative person, he is a person who has always been down-to-earth.

"The academy is too big, and sometimes it is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another, but there will always be some peerless talents who will emerge." Lao Chen said with relief.

Lao Chen didn't understand why Zhuang Yushan wanted to talk about this with himself, an outsider, maybe it was just a small talk, maybe he was really worried about some hidden dangers in Dayuan Academy, or maybe it was just to gain Lao Chen's trust.

Zhuang Yushan smiled bitterly and said: "At the beginning, Qin Guang took a fancy to Chu Nan, and Zhou Feng fell in love with Wu Ke, they were both fellow countrymen, at that time, Wu Ke's starting point was higher, in fact, I thought at that time, when the time was ripe, the two of them were recruited to the command of Dayuan Academy, but what happened later exceeded our expectations." ”

"In fact, real talents often don't need the so-called noble people to lead the way, they can rely on their own ability to fight a bloody way, but there are too few such people, and most of the young people who are involved in the word talent still need nobles."

When Lao Chen heard this, he said truthfully: "In fact, Chu Nan also has a lot of nobles along the way. ”

Zhuang Yushan also said with emotion: "Chu Nan does have the support of nobles, but Chu Nan also supports his nobles, which is more like an equivalent exchange, rather than one party cultivating the other." ”

"Miss Songzong has cultivated Yuan Qi in the land of the Middle Sect, and with this, Chu Nan will be able to sit firmly on Diaoyutai in many things in the future."

"In the past, I could still deal with myself as Chu Nan's predecessor, but now, I can deal with myself as Chu Nan's senior, maybe not long after, when I meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu again, I really need to make a big salute."

"I'm just a little envious of Chu Nan, it's good to be young, it's good to be young."

"Everyone hopes that they can be ambitious, but most people don't have a youthful ambition, or even never have a youthful ambition."

"I personally hope that Chu Nan will get better and better, but whether Dayuan Academy has the same idea as me, I don't know, but I will try my best to mediate the friendship between the two sides, and if necessary, if it is within my ability, I will keep a hand."

When Lao Chen heard this, he responded very simply: "They are all compatriots, so they will naturally keep a hand." ”

Zhuang Yushan said with a melancholy look on his face: "Talking about this with you, I am also deeply aware that I really have many shortcomings, and the sage is like a mirror, which can shine on many embarrassing ...... of myself."
