The Way of Vertical and Horizontal (45)
Xizong Buting said: "Now that the facts are in front of us, what we need to do is to know the ins and outs of this battle, and then we will know the trick. Hu Dao secretly sighed that his concentration was far above himself, and he had great respect for this Confucian who had entered the South Gate twenty years before him, and the elegance of the step court was suitable, and it could be suitable for anything. Dealing with one thing will always exclude oneself from things, and even know the inner truth and the outer void, and judge and measure it by the state of both the inside and the outside, but what Hu Dao respects most about Bu Ting is the other side of his heart.
He Jin said coldly: "I've been lazy for a long time, and now it's time to go out for a walk." Hu Dao shook his head and said, "If something happens to you, what I do will be in vain." He Jin said: "Killing is unavoidable, how can we back down again?" Seeing that Bu Ting heard this, his eyes were obviously lost. Lin Bin asked: "What do you think?" Bu Ting said: "Idealism and goodness, martial arts know this meaning, is it better for me to be at the south gate?" Guo Xiao said: "How can martial arts deceive others be taken seriously. Bu Ting shook his head and said, "Among our four sects, you have a deep prejudice against martial arts, but you think it is different. Guo Xiao said: "I am not a stubborn person, as long as you can come up with a reason to convince me, everything is clear." Bu Ting shook his head and said: "Don't lose your heart in killing, and be idealistic and good, this is what a weak crown of less than twenty-three said." Are we, the pillars of the conceited country, sinking with the tide in this slaughter, or keeping our hearts?" Everyone present had some thoughts, and now in the South Gate, Hu Dao is in charge of affairs, and there is no longer the discussion of the former ministers and public counsellors, and even the prison gate, which has always been arrogant and unyielding, actually supports him. Although the reorganization of the South Gate is imminent, everyone is more and more worried that the South Gate will go more and more deviated, and finally become a demon who wields a knife and slaughters like a martial arts.
Hu Dao heard this. When his body and mind were shocked, he looked at He Jin, and He Jin also had an epiphany, knowing that they were acting in a hurry. Although the establishment was completed, no one wanted to do it, so how could such a south gate work? Hu Dao hurriedly got up and asked the inner attendant to help the six deputy divisions to go down to rest, and then he bowed to the courtyard. said: "In the sinking drowning situation, I almost went crazy, and Your Excellency's reminder made me suddenly have an epiphany and know my mistake. Guo Xiao said: "Door master." You give me a special feeling. Hu Dao turned around and asked, "What is special?" Guo Xiao said: "Since you entered the south gate, you have been careful in everything you do, so that you have lost your original intention and are used to being cautious. I've always felt that what I'm seeing isn't what you really are. If not, you may not be able to accept the emperor's grace. Guo Xiao said this, everyone present actually knew it, but as a subordinate, such a suggestion seemed to be more like instigating the master to bewitch the master, and it was the responsibility of the subordinates.
Hu Dao said: "Deal with things in a timely manner, and your heart also needs opportunities, isn't it?" Guo Xiao said: "As long as the door master does not lose his heart." We should do what we can. He Jin said: "There are many things that you can't do if you want to, even if the south gate is separated from the imperial court. Such a metaphor is really like a bolt from the blue. Many people are shocked, and it is very taboo to speak against themselves. Hu Dao said: "Destroy the martial arts and stabilize the world, what do you think?" Bu Ting sighed: "It seems that you have doubts about this. Hu Dao said: "Actually, you are more deeply concerned than me. ”
"Oh, how do you say that?" Bu Ting pretended to be puzzled.
Hu Dao said: "All the states in the world naturally have their own identities, that is, like yin and yang, there are separations, there are fusions, and there are complementary to each other. From ancient times to the present, between the court and the people, martial arts has never disappeared from the existence, not uneasy, but inexhaustible, you know the drawbacks, but even if it is successful, it will not last long. "Everyone present is unhappy, now the belief of the South Gate has gradually blurred, the faith can change with the times and is no longer firm, such a South Gate, such a faith, how can they follow?
The Taishoji of the South Gate stepped forward and said, "It is easy to reorganize the South Gate, but if the faith changes like this, where and where are we? Hu Dao shook his head and said: "The firmness of faith is the right goal, if the faith itself is not suitable for the situation, isn't it good to change him?" Qizheng Si stepped forward and said: "Dare to ask the master of the door, how should the south gate be changed now?" Hu Dao returned the salute and responded: "The proof of history is enough to discuss the truth clearly, and it is not suitable to suppress and peace, and harmony is the current feasible law." The South Gate Divisions were all amazed, and they actually wanted them to make peace with the martial arts they had hated for many years, if such remarks were not nonsense, they would have been tired of accusations, and there was a whisper under the tent, and they had already lost their solemn rigor.
The eighteenth deputy secretary said: "Between the court and the military, although the peace is the best policy, it is difficult to do, and there are many changes, so it is often not taken. The hatred of the military is like a human being, and it is impossible to trust it, and the debate in this period will continue for thousands of years? When he said this, the deputy directors reacted very much, but they didn't dare to have it, they were extremely afraid of He Jin, and all this was expected by Hu Dao, even Guo Xiao, who has always supported Hu Dao, also said that such a belief was not feasible. Hu Dao was just silent, and when everyone's noisy voices gradually stopped, Zhu Si quietly looked at Hu Dao, who was dignified. Some people who understand have gradually grasped the temper of Hu Dao, and such a look may be what he expected.
Seeing that everyone was no longer speech, Hu Dao said: "If you have something to say, you can explain it as soon as possible, otherwise once it is done, it will be too late to make up for it." Guo Xiao said: "As the master of the door sees, Chaowu Yan and Fang are natural for the way of heaven, and I also know that the martial arts have been inseparable from heaven since ancient times, although the opposition between the martial arts and the martial arts is very heavy, but the opposition between the martial arts is not the natural way of heaven?" Hu Dao nodded and asked, "What you said is indeed true." But I personally believe that the way of heaven is nothing but a realm of delusion without normative constraints, and the principles of heaven are where the laws of humanity lie. Everyone present listened carefully to their ears, but now the South Gate, which was deeply involved in the slaughter, had long lost the brightness of Confucianism and the new sense of high-spiritedness.
The eighteenth deputy secretary asked, "Dare to ask the master of the sect what is the principle of heaven?" Hu Dao replied: "The six virtues, the six elements, and the six arts of Confucianism are all above human ethics. Reason is right, right is clear, clear is Shang, right and reason are both where the light is, and it is the principle of heaven. Heavenly principles are natural, regardless of the dawn of the people, the imperial power and nobles are all under the heavenly principles. This nonsense is undoubtedly a threat to the authority of the imperial power, and many people know all this. But he knew that this was taboo and unbearable for the imperial power, and even He Jin felt inappropriate. He Jin asked, "What do you want to say?" Hu Dao responded: "The so-called civilization." The so-called justice, the so-called virtue, all are inseparable from the principles of heaven, otherwise everything is just empty talk. Seeing that the nonsense was not finished, He Jin knew that he could no longer discuss it, that is, he said: "There is no need to discuss this matter, and now the belief of the South Gate remains unchanged." Even if it changes, the war of the DPRK will be inevitable. What you are doing now is what the owner is worried about. Hu Dao asked: "I don't know if there is a countermeasure in the prison gate?" He Jin said: "Why do you have to ask me when you have full power?" Hu Dao nodded. That is, let everyone enter his partial tent, but saw that there were Zhuang He's three organ beasts and bronze tigers stationed around the partial tent, and there were thirty other south gate guards day and night, and there were still thirty martial arts celebrities stationed in turn. The defense of heaven and earth. It's very strict.
Inside the tent is the map of the martial arts sects left by Tang Yu, and the group of people unloaded their shoes and walked on the huge map to examine it carefully, even if the exploration of the seven sects of martial arts and even the so-called Tianfu Qinglong Ling Lord is not deep, but the strength of martial arts is already shocking, and they can't see this map on weekdays. Hu Dao stared at the map and said, "As far as you can see, the south gate is currently there, whether it is Jiangnan or Huainan. Or Fujian and Zhejiang, which seem to be collapsing. In fact, they all have scruples, this is the bottom line of the imperial court, and we will not discuss it today. The gathering at the south gate is still the same, and what I need is the head of Mu Qiubai and the Four Wonders. "Nonsense is to abandon everything, attacking one point, although it can be done, the hidden danger is not small.
The chief deputy secretary of the South Gate said: "The three sects of the Immortal Sect, the Medicine Sect, and the Instrument Sect don't know where to go, what Mu Qiubai did is just to disturb us, and the four ways are the current concerns." Hu Dao sighed: "We are the pillars of the country, and our own responsibilities are heavy, and we carry everything on our backs." Is it all an ornament behind us? Martial arts are scattered, everywhere, and they are going to be hit hard, this is arbitrary. In a few words, the key to it was broken, and everyone was convinced, but He Jin had an understanding, and secretly sighed, "Such a wise person is indeed terrifying, it seems that you should be careful." The nineteenth deputy Si Zongzheng of the south gate stepped forward and said, "Such a master, my subordinates are willing to go for a while." Hu Dao said: "One by one, the dispatch is just to send the head of the item, this time it should not be too big, the nineteenth deputy director, the eighteenth deputy director joint believe that it will not disappoint us, right?" Eighteen and nineteen deputy directors all stepped forward and bowed and said: "It will definitely live up to the expectations of the door master." ”
Although there are seven or eight deputy directors of the South Gate who came from the imperial examination, the rest of them are all recruited, and even excavated from the Yin Sect. Although the divisions often work together, they are not clear about each other's martial arts cultivation, and they have never done anything in ordinary times. This time, the two divisions joined forces, as long as Mu Qiubai no longer had a helper, great things could be done. But since the vicious fight with the martial arts, unexpected things have emerged one after another, and the situation has not been able to catch up with the changes. The Thirteen Shoji stepped forward and said, "Things are changing, and I ask the master of the door to take precautions." Hu Dao nodded and replied: "This door has its own measure, and human life is at stake, so I don't dare to play with children." ”
The eighteen and nineteen deputy directors were all recruited to enter the south gate, and they have been suppressed by the main division and the supervision department for a long time. The gathering and reorganization of the south gate will inevitably lead to chaos and a great difference in personnel. Taking advantage of the fact that the reorganization was not completed, the two divisions each selected 20 outstanding subordinates of their own divisions. The darkness has been paying attention to Mu Qiubai's information, although he knows where it is, but Mu Qiubai is deep in the mountains, he can't accurately visit, let alone track, and it won't be easy for the two divisions to find Mu Qiubai.
In the deep mountains, Mu Qiubai was standing by the mountain stream to rest, and the Four Wonders were breathing freely. This battle relied on the Four Wonders to guide such a shocking move, but even if the four of them were different, facing more than ten times the enemy, there was also a heavy price behind the gorgeousness, and the Four Wonders could no longer be used within a month. And Mu Qiubai repeatedly attacked, there was no other purpose, the sects scattered the four roads, the underworld sect in the middle to do things on their own, Mu Qiubai did for the power of the four wonders, this battle will inevitably lead to the revenge of the South Gate. Ruo regret has been quietly waiting behind Mu Qiubai, and even has a trace of pity. He has always asked Wuyi to take care of his young son Mu Yuncong, just to cover up the sadness of seeing things and people in his heart, and now even if there are four wonders, he may not be able to lift the heart of the former lord and subordinate.
The Four Wonders had finished pranayama at this time, and for Mu Qiubai, with the importance of the sect leader, before they came, the sect leader often mentioned Mu Qiubai, so the Four Wonders were extremely clear about Mu Qiubai's experience. They didn't know why the sect leader attached so much importance to the four of them, but now they thought that all of this was prepared for Mu Qiubai's today. Lu Qianhong stepped forward and said: "It's good to know how to be sad, but if you indulge in it, I'm afraid you'll lose yourself." Mu Qiubai asked, "Can you resist the love in your heart?" Lu Qianhong shook her head and said, "Blocking is not the only way to solve the problem. Mu Qiubai snorted coldly and said, "The wisdom of the sect leader, although the overall situation has not changed, the sadness in it is something she can't understand. Lu Qianhong said: "The sect leader has never absolutely restricted you, this is your right. Mu Qiubai stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the forest. The Four Wonders and Ruo Xiben were worried about his safety, but looking at this figure that had been through vicissitudes, maybe many things did not need them to worry about, because Mu Qiubai was a person who only looked up but did not look down. But what puzzled the people of the Hades Sect was that the Hades Sect had always been a woman in power, and the sect leader valued Mu Qiubai's weapon, saying that it was passed on to him, but he did not let him learn how to be in power. And Mu Qiubai is just as confusing, sometimes the four wonders, if you don't know what this man is thinking, his figure always seems to be covered with an unpredictable and charming veil.
