Chapter 80: Unexpected Consequences
After Shangguan Yi and Fu Changan separated, the two of them went on their own roads, he didn't know if Fu Changan was going straight home, anyway, Shangguan Yi was in a hurry to go back, he was going to the place where he should have been, if there had been no accident, he should have been there.
That place is the Great Light Temple.
The Great Light Temple is located on the shore of the East China Sea, near the city bordering Zhongzhen, and belongs to the sphere of influence of the East China Sea. But it is also a martial arts force, martial arts is martial arts, and there is no distinction between nationalities, so the East China Sea is actually not very able to restrain the Great Light Temple. Not to mention Zhongzhen, even if the Great Bright Temple is in Zhongzhen, they only dare to have an attitude with the East China Sea, not to mention that the Great Bright Temple is not in Zhongzhen at all.
The reason for this is that the power of the Great Light Temple is very strong, very strong, and its prestige is also very high, so it is qualified to be respected by other people, even if it is a force at the level of Zhongzhen or Donghai.
Of course, there are other important reasons... That is, the Great Light Temple does not do things. They preach in peace, according to their ideas, to maintain order in their neighborhood, to take care of their own acres and three-thirds of land, unless there is a great calamity, they will not be born. What kind of martial arts disputes, rivers and lakes incidents, as long as they don't export them with their faces, they don't mix at all, and they don't even bother to do superficial kung fu.
You beat yours, I'll continue to play mine, we have nothing to do with each other, if you dare to hit me, then I'm not welcome.
This is their external strategy, not to do things, and they don't want to be done things, such an attitude is actually reassuring. After all, with their influence and strength, if they really do something, the East China Sea will be able to withstand it, and it will not be greatly damaged, but it will hurt their muscles and bones, and give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of. So the Great Light Temple and the East China Sea are very tacit understanding that you don't care about me, I don't interfere in your affairs, on the surface I surrender to your rule, you send people to burn incense and worship the Buddha during the New Year's holidays, and the face of the kung fu is in place, and everyone and the coexistence of harmony is it.
It is precisely because of such a transcendent status in the Great Light Temple that Shangguan Yi's grandfather, Shangguan Ming, wanted to send him to the Great Light Temple, where Shangguan Ren and Zhu Zhi had some friendship, and he was safer there.
Just as Buddhism is as deep as the sea, escape into the red dust and suffer with it.
Shangguan Ming means to let Shangguan Yi worship in Buddhism, and after shaving, there will be no more Shangguan Yi in the world, and he can enjoy the pure time of the rest of his life. If Shangguan Yi can't let go, he can also escape from the red dust in the future and fight hard, and the result will all depend on Shangguan Yi's creation, no wonder others.
This is the way out that Shangguan Ming found for Shangguan Yi, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen on the road, so his arrangement did not take effect, and Shangguan Yi now wants to pick up the road he arranged and ignore the twists and turns. Of course, it is not that Shangguan Yi wants to become a monk, but that he wants to visit the abbot of Daguang Temple and get from him what belongs to Shangguan Yi.
This journey was long and arduous, so he had to hurry back to pack his things and prepare to go, but he planned to cultivate his body while hurrying. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and this penance must be very exciting.
But when Shangguan Yi hurried and finally returned home, he found that he was occupied by a dove and a magpie's nest, and there was a person living in his cabin!
Although Shangguan Yi was a little surprised, he was not angry, after all, he also planted willows unintentionally and got the unexpected fruit, which is as it should be. But what he really didn't expect was the book in that person's hand, Naturalist. Shangguan Yi often flipped through the books, how could he not recognize them?
He had unlocked the mechanism in the house, and most likely, the contents of the cellar had already been looked through by him.
Shangguan Yi looked at this scene, his eyes were slightly cold, he already had killing intent on his body, he could distribute the food to others, and the house or something could also let him live temporarily. But there are always things that cannot be known, especially if you are a stranger. Regardless of whether he would tell anyone else or do anything troublesome, Shangguan Yi would have a hard time believing him, only the corpse could store this secret, and only the corpse could be worthy of his trust.
He had a plan but didn't do it, planning and then moving is the basis of the master's moves, this was originally Shangguan Yi's home field, but he left for a while, and was occupied by this uninvited guest in front of him, the ghost knows if he will arrange something here, want to kill him, the original owner, and then completely possess these things.
It's not that Shangguan Yi thinks too much, it's not that he looks at people with colored glasses, there are few people who really look at the things in the cellar that are not greedy, even if they are originally wealthy, the things left by the old man, to be honest, are not much worse than the background of a big force, and how many people in this world can completely sit on a big force? Even if there is such a person, it is difficult to guarantee that he wants to go further. In the final analysis, desire is the most primitive force that breeds all kinds of ugliness, and he does not dare to let him go.
At this time, the person who was facing him and sitting next to the chessboard reading seemed to have noticed that Shangguan Yi was looking at him, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Hello little brother, may I ask you for something?" I am not the owner here, just a temporary borrower, but if you need help, I can do my best." ”
His tone was gentle, there was no trace of anger on his body, and he couldn't see the ugly thoughts of greed, his eyes were pure, and he didn't look like a bad person. He was dressed in a slightly shabby green shirt, his long hair was tied up, and his whole person looked a little depressed, and there should be a dagger or something hidden in his sleeve for self-defense. He is good-looking, a typical beautiful man, with bright eyes, and a down-to-earth temperament on his body, worthy of others.
"Actually, I'm the master here. Shangguan Yi got straight to the point and threw out the core directly. He originally wanted to be tactful, but looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to be a bad person. Although the ancients often said: It is difficult to paint the skin and the tiger, knowing the face but not the heart, not looking like a bad person does not mean that he is not a bad person, there are more hypocrites who are sanctimonious, but Shangguan Yi just thinks that he has no bad intentions. Therefore, he said this directly, wanting to scare him and see how he reacted.
The man was stunned for a moment, closed the book and put it on the table, stood up and looked at Shangguan Yi and said, "It's rude to do this, and I ask Mr. for forgiveness." After saying that, he respectfully gave a salute, which was a high etiquette to express apology, and maintained the last posture after the salute, expressing his begging for forgiveness. The recipient can lift him up or verbally show forgiveness before he can get up, otherwise it is disrespectful and an insult.
Shangguan Yi looked at Murong Jue, who remained in the last posture and did not move, and said, "Tell me, about the book you read." ”
Murong decided to lose money first, with his temperament, he would not be angry, and now Shangguan Yi did not say whether he would forgive him, and he didn't dare to get up, so he maintained that posture and explained to Shangguan Yi: "My surname is Murong, and I am the concubine of the Murong family, and I am not loved by the elders in the family, but it also hinders the eyes of some people." So this time I came out to do errands, I met some bad people, and finally my life should not be broken, I met the help of nobles, escaped a catastrophe, ran to this neighborhood, saw this house, and did not lock the door, so I wanted to stay for a while and recuperate. But I did not expect that the owner of this house would have such a high moral character and kindness, and that he would allow strangers to take his belongings, and even prepare them so thoughtfully, that I was very moved, so I stayed here. Then when I lived here, I found that there were mechanisms in the house, but most of them were not opened, so I knew that the owner of the house really had no malicious intentions. I'm a bit of a quirk, I love to read and delve into weird things, so I'm itching to see if I can find anything. It was a bit taboo, but I did it anyway because it was so boring that I found out that there was a cellar there. ”
When Murong Jue said this, he slowed down and continued: "The things in the cellar are really shocking, but it's a pity that for me, the only ones that are really valuable are these books, and I don't care about the rest. I can assure you that there is nothing missing in the cellar except this naturalist, and I have no intention of taking this naturalist with me. I'm a bookworm, so I couldn't suppress my desire to peep, but I can guarantee that I haven't read all the books on martial arts, and I can't practice martial arts, you can check my body. But no matter what, after all, I committed a taboo and peeked into your secret, and I apologize to you. You can choose not to forgive me, but I hope you will allow me to read this naturalist book, its author is really good, and the writing is wonderful enough. When I'm done, I'll kill whatever I want, okay?"
In the end, Murong Jue pleaded in a low voice, and it seemed that he was a real bookworm.
Shangguan Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, he didn't expect him to meet such a person, but it can be determined that he is not a bad person, there is no fluctuation of internal force in his body, or his internal force cultivation is much higher than Shangguan Yi. For the sake of prudence, Shangguan Yi still reached out and grabbed his wrist to probe the situation in his body, this time, Shangguan Yi was a little silent, organized the words, and said: "Congenital waste body, unable to condense internal force, such a life in the Murong family is a shame for the Murong family, right? ”
Murong decided to grit his teeth, but still said, "Yes." ”
Shangguan Yi helped him and expressed his forgiveness, your Murong family can't tolerate a waste Murong Decision, I Shangguan Yi took it, and he is also a fallen person at the end of the world, and he is willing to show him these books.
"Thank you for your forgiveness and understanding, can I still read this naturalist book?" Murong Jue stared straight at Shangguan Yi, the desire in it made Shangguan Yi a little embarrassed, he couldn't imagine that Murong Jue's desire for books was so strong, but was it really a book that he longed for?
Shangguan Yi sighed, if he could cultivate martial arts, would he still be a bookworm? No one does not desire strength, he is a congenital waste, and the road on the path of martial arts is destined to be broken, from the moment he was born, he has only one way, and that is Congwen. But what kind of power is the Murong family? The long-standing martial arts family, even if it is a little declining, cannot tolerate such a stain, and there is no way to do it!
The literati looked down on the martial arts to fight and kill, and the martial artists also looked down on the literati.
Even if Murong Jue longs to be able to do something with his own strength, there will be countless people, both in the family and outside the family, who will stand up to extinguish the flame of his dream.
The Murong family can't afford to lose such a person.
The reason for his accident, I'm afraid, is that it's more important than the capital, on this stage where anyone can make great achievements, some people are afraid that Murong will really emerge and soar into the sky. Then there will be a nation behind him, acting as a shield for him, and who will be able to do anything to him again?
Since you are so afraid, then I have to see how far Murong Jue, who escaped by luck, can go.
"No, I can't. Shangguan Yi first rejected Murong Jue categorically, and then explained: "This book is the inheritance of the master, and it is already taboo to be peeped at by outsiders, why, spare you once, you still don't cherish it?"
A trace of helplessness and pity flashed in Murong Jue's eyes, he knew that he might not be able to read this book again, and he was a little heartbroken.
But the next moment, for him, it was like a bright willow, because he heard Shangguan Yi say: "If you want to see it, it's not impossible." ”
Murong Jue is also a smart person, after contacting Shangguan Yi's words, he knows what Shangguan Yi means, this person wants him to worship his master!
Murong Jue hesitated for a moment and said, "This is not appropriate, right? Whether it is seniority, power or talent, I am not suitable, are you very short of people?"
Obviously, in his eyes, Shangguan Yi was regarded by him at this moment as an irrational person who was eager to expand the members of the division.
Shangguan Yi pursed his lips and said: "First, I don't want you to worship me as a teacher, and I don't want to accept apprentices, my master is not dead, but he just went out to travel, I am probably the senior brother in the master's sect, and I still have the right to accept apprentices on behalf of the teacher." Second, as you can see, the master is indeed down, and there are only two people at the moment, Master and I, and we don't even have a decent station, but not everyone wants it. Master didn't plan to revitalize the sect, and he didn't even tell me his name, so you can rest assured that he didn't take you as a coolie. Thirdly, there are not so many rules and regulations in the master's sect, and the master didn't tell me a single rule, but if you want to join the sect, I will set a rule for you, that is, don't forget your roots. As for talent or something, it doesn't matter, you don't need to revitalize the master, so these are not the key, even if it is, there is also my senior brother on top, you don't have to worry. ”
Shangguan Yi said that Murong Jue was a little confused, this is actually a pie in the sky, basically there are only benefits and no harms, is this the legendary catastrophe that will not die, and there will be blessings?
"Why me?" Murong Jue still asked the question.
Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "You need strength, and the master has it, not only this naturalist, you can read the rest, I think you are worth it, and it is also fate." ”
Murong Jue nodded and said, "I won't forget my roots, from today on, I will be a member of the sect, and with me for a day, the sect will not break the incense." ”。
Shangguan Yi shook his head and said: "It's not so simple, although the entrance ceremony is simple but indispensable, I'll take you to the entrance tomorrow, forget it today, it's not suitable." ”
Murong had no opinion, in fact, he thought so too.
