Chapter 70 Pushing oneself and others

The craftsmanship of the noodle stall is good, and the noodles are refreshing and strong. Wang Fugui was greedy, so he had some salty pickles, and asked for two large bowls before he was satisfied.

During this period, when the old shopkeeper came to add soup, Zhang Ziwei, who had always been silent, suddenly asked, "I passed by the mountain temple before, and saw the stone statues enshrined in it, and ended up with a desolate end of separation of body and head, but what is the reason?"

The old shopkeeper looked embarrassed, shook his head, sighed, and said slowly: "You don't know, the mountain temple is dedicated to the previous county lord here, Yang Zhizhi. Master Yang is a good man, reclaiming wasteland, repairing canals, and helping the poor people within a radius of 100 miles to do a lot of practical things. It is said that Master Yang is too straightforward, offended many people, and the officialdom was not satisfactory, so he was squeezed out of our poor countryside. Then, one day, when Master Yang led some people into the mountain col to open the mountain road, he fell and never got up again. The people read him well, and every household scraped together some silver and built a mountain temple, which was a little heart. ”

Later, the new county lord came. As the saying goes, the new official took office with three fires, and as soon as he came, he criticized Master Yang's exploits. In the end, even some fictitious things were fabricated, bribes were accepted, drinking all day long, and even rumored to be fond of male style. Heaven and earth conscience, how can we have money to bribe Master Yang in a few poor and remote places here? Not to mention spending money on wine and earth, how can there be such a place. ”

"If you don't do it for a day, you will spread it for a month. If it doesn't work in January, it will be passed on for a year. Over time, there were always some blind eyes and dark conscience, and they shouted that they were going to smash the mountain temple. At first, many people heard the news and spoke out against it, and some spontaneously carried hoes to go around the mountain temple, for fear that someone would really come to smash the temple. After a long time, the people found that those stunned young people were just shouting and shouting, and they didn't really take action, so fewer and fewer people cared about it, and no one went around the mountain temple, after all, they had to be busy making a living. ”

After that, one night, the mountain temple was really smashed by that group of stunned young people! The strange thing is that most of the people who heard about this just sighed, and they didn't even bother to investigate it, and let it go. Not to mention that someone took the initiative to raise money to repair the mountain temple, and after a long time, they forgot about Master Yang's goodness. ”

After saying this, the old shopkeeper's hand holding the soup spoon trembled slightly, and he spilled some soup on the wooden table. The old shopkeeper laughed again and again, and hurriedly took off the rag on his shoulder and wiped it clean.

"Ouch, a few guest officers are laughing. When people are old, they can't see some sad things. ”

Qi Qingfeng shook his head with a smile and said softly, "It's okay." I listened to the story told by the old shopkeeper, and I felt a little bad in my heart. ”

The old shopkeeper relieved the embarrassment on his face, hurriedly cleaned up, apologized with a smile, and slipped away to the back kitchen.

"I'm not an idiot. The old shopkeeper stroked a small handful of gray goat's beard on the tip of his chin and sighed.

Zhang Ziwei listened to the words of the old shopkeeper, which can be regarded as verifying the rumors he heard, and his heart is full of mixed tastes at the moment, and he doesn't know what to say for a while, only a heavy melancholy sigh.

Wang Fugui put down the dishes and chopsticks, and was angry, "These individuals are really their consciences taken away by dogs, and the county lord will not miss him when he dies, so he will let the mountain temple fall down." ”

Qi Ze shook his head and choked for the first time: "Don't blame those stunned young people who smashed the temple, but blame the people next to them, what is the reason?"

When Wang Fugui heard this, he immediately retorted: "The people who smashed the temple are naturally extremely evil, but the people who stand by are not good people. ”

"A good person, what is a good person?" Qi Ze chuckled, "Carrying a hoe around the mountain temple all day long, opening and closing his mouth to avenge the late county lord is a good person? But have you ever thought that in the eyes of his frightened wife and children, he has become a person who eats the bear's heart and dares to go against the current county master. The people and the officials fought and sought their own death. ”

Wang Fugui's face turned red, he was hesitant, he couldn't say a word for a long time, he went too far, he knew that he was wrong, and he no longer argued with Qi Ze.

Qi Qingfeng looked at the two who were arguing, shook his head slightly, and said, "Qi Ze, it's not so serious. Brother Wang's intentions were not bad. He just hoped that the people who had received the favor would stand up and say two words of justice for Yang Zhizhi. ”

"That's it, what Brother Qi said is reasonable. Wang Fugui didn't want to pay attention to Qi Ze, but he echoed what Qi Qingfeng said.

Qi Ze glanced at him and snorted. originally said casually, since Qi Qingfeng spoke, he would not continue to argue with Wang Fugui.

Then, Qi Qingfeng sighed lightly, and the words changed, "However, this is also a matter of resentment to the people here, just the hearts of the people." If it were overnight, the people here would definitely be willing to defend Yang Zhizhi. But after a long time, people's hearts are easily numb. Over time, habits become natural, and subtly accept this thing, and there are not many people who are willing to stand up. What's more, when it comes to self-interest, people are not sages, and selfishness is naturally there. It can only be said that the current county lord here played a good chess hand, and wiped out Yang Zhizhi's status in the hearts of the people like a whale swallowing and encroaching, and replaced it in order to facilitate his jurisdiction over this place. ”

Wang Fugui was speechless and sighed softly. In this world, there are too few good people after all.

"Brother Mo, why are you silent?" Qi Qingfeng turned his head and looked at Mo Shiping, who had been silent, a little curious, it stands to reason that he should help Wang Fugui enlighten and comfort a few words.

Mo Shiping shook his head and said softly: "I don't know people's suffering, and it is difficult to persuade people to be kind." I asked myself that I was not qualified to criticize the actions of the people in this area, so I would not comment. Everyone has experienced different lives, and only then does they have their own ideas and practices, and if I rashly stand on the moral high ground and criticize at will, it is untenable and unreasonable and absurd. ”

Mo Shiping had some understanding of Wang Fugui's past experience, and it was precisely because of this that he couldn't say anything to comfort, let alone persuade him. Just like when Li Facai persuaded him to give up the idea of cultivation in Da Turtle Mountain, didn't he also agree?

Qi Qingfeng thought for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "It's better to treat others with oneself than to push oneself and others, Brother Mo's words are reasonable." Put yourself in your shoes and put your heart in your shoes. It's easy to say, but it's hard to put into action, especially when it's a trivial matter. At this point, I have to learn more from the Mo brothers, and it is not too late to see the wisdom and wisdom of the people. ”

As he spoke, Qi Qingfeng smiled and clasped his fist towards Mo Shiping, expressing his heart slightly.

Mo Shiping hurriedly returned the salute with his fists, then waved his hand again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Qi is too famous, I didn't think about it so much." It's just that before I speak, I like to think about it for a while, for fear of making a joke. Just like boxing, I think that as long as you take things to heart and are willing to put some thought into them, even if it's a small thing, it's hard to go wrong. ”

Qi Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes flashed with surprise, "Being a person and doing things like this, it's very troublesome, aren't you tired?"

Mo Shiping shook his head and smiled: "It's not tired, just get used to it." It's better than going wrong and then working hard to remedy it, then it's tiring. ”

"It's good to get used to it, yes, it's good to get used to it. Qi Qingfeng smiled and opened the folding fan, and said no more. Qi Qingfeng was a little admired, the person who led Mo Shiping into his cultivation was also a person with great morality. A piece of jade, carefully selected by it, has today's crystal clear brilliance.

What a pure heart that shines through the mountains and rivers.

Qi Qingfeng was a little curious, who was the person behind Mo Shiping? However, Qi Qingfeng didn't intend to ask. It is Mo Shiping who he is willing to befriend, not the person behind him, and it doesn't matter whether he asks or not.

On the contrary, it was Qi Ze, who heard Mo Shiping's words, and a small suspicion in his heart resurfaced, so he asked: "I watched you fight boxing before, your fist is mellow, and your fist moves are plump, which is quite similar to someone I once met." Therefore, let me take the liberty of asking, does Brother Mo know a red-haired young man who likes to call himself a red wolf of the Flame Calamity?"

Qi Ze had already noticed that the person behind Mo Shiping was definitely not simple. When Mo Shiping practiced boxing every day before, although it was the most common and visible Xingyi boxing, the boxing intent and boxing moves contained in it were not like what ordinary people could teach, and they were actually a little similar to the red wolf of the Flame Calamity that he had fought against.

Could it be that he is the apprentice or junior disciple of the Red Wolf of the Flame Calamity? This kind of thinking even Qi Ze feels absurd, how can there be such a coincidence in the world. However, Qi Ze still couldn't help but ask, what if?

Mo Shiping frowned slightly, thought for a moment, shook his head and replied, "I don't know." There are very few red-haired people, and if I had seen them, I would have been impressed. ”

Qi Ze nodded and smiled: "Brother Mo doesn't have to take it to heart, I'm just asking casually." The world is so big, and there are countless punches, so I think I'm confused. Qi Ze didn't plan to ask more, he naturally saw that Mo Shiping had not lied. What's more, the temperament of the red wolf of the Flame Calamity is very different from Mo Shiping, no matter how you look at it, he is not a person in the same way.

Qi Qingfeng also knew about the Red Wolf of the Flame Calamity. After all, this person shouted at the young generation of the entire Dongsheng Divine Continent at the beginning, and the key is that they all won the battle. Under the Ten Great Families Breaking the Sky Realm, none of them were their opponents, and even Yuwen Jinshan, who had realized the power of rules in the Six Realms, was defeated. However, this was not Qi Qingfeng's most surprised, what surprised him the most was the attitude of the ten major families towards this person, ignoring it and letting it go, as if they acquiesced in this provocation. Later, Qi Qingfeng also specially asked the old man of his family, that is, the head of the Qi family, why didn't he stop it?

replied with a smile, if you beat the little one, the old one comes, and the one who gets beaten is Lao Tzu. Make a head bird, Lao Tzu is stupid? So, as soon as you close your eyes and spread your hands, you can close Lao Tzu's.

From this, Qi Qingfeng vaguely knew that behind the Red Wolf of the Scorching Calamity, there was a person standing up to the sky, stomping his feet, afraid that the entire Dongsheng Divine Continent would tremble.

Now, Qi Ze mentioned the Red Wolf of the Flame Calamity, and even asked Mo Shiping if he knew each other. Qi Qingfeng felt that this was pure nonsense. No matter how much he looked at Mo Shiping, he didn't think he would know that kind of person who used to reach the sky. Otherwise, how can they not fight for the great road, and walk and rejoice with them here?

Thinking of this, Qi Qingfeng put away the slightly swaying folding fan, pinned it to his waist, didn't think about it anymore, and continued to bow his head and eat the remaining noodles in the bowl, which were still hot.

And Mo Shiping chuckled, and did not think deeply about Qi Ze's words. As Qi Ze said, the world is big, and there are thousands of boxing methods. Xingyi boxing is just one of the most basic ones, and there are many people who have practiced this boxing. Although when the grandfather passed down this boxing, he made some changes, but there are some people in the world who are similar to his fist intentions. After all, the grandfather is only a martial artist in the three realms, and according to the realm, he is not a master. But this does not prevent the grandfather from being the most powerful master in the world in Mo Shiping's heart. What's more, Han Shuangcheng and Qi Ze have both praised this boxing technique, how can the grandfather who passed down the boxing technique not be powerful?

...

In the Li Imperial City, Li Muzhi, who had been quiet for more than an hour under the scorching sun with his eyes closed in the posture of walking on the pile, suddenly opened his eyes, ripped off the four-clawed python robe he was wearing on his body, threw it on the ground at will, and then punched heartily. Punch after punch, fist after fist, on his face that was fumigated by the heat and burned a little blackened, the scholarly spirit quietly faded, and the color of fortitude became more and more intense.

Cao Dong, the martial artist on the side, smiled and said nothing, this prince's cultivation heart is completed, and it is time to enter the realm of martial artists.

...

At the same time, I don't know that tens of thousands of miles away in Dongsheng Shenzhou, within the Yuwen clan, a small thing happened. Yuwen Cheshui, who has entered the first realm of martial artists for less than a month, broke through another realm and entered the second realm of martial artists. It is the most primitive path he has taken, and he has sharpened the second realm of martial artists with an excellent foundation. On the top of the mountain, Yuwen Qingquan smiled with relief, picked up Yuwen Che, who was covered with filthy bloodstains and had fainted, went down the mountain.

Yuwen Qingquan did not incarnate Changhong and left directly, but carried Yuwen Cheshui on his back step by step and walked the mountain road.

"I've been sleepless for seven days and seven nights, and I'm tired, aren't you?"

"That young man named Mo Shiping, as for you, is that so? It seems that it is, after all, you are Yuwen Cheshui, you lose once, you will never lose the second time, right?"

"Fortunately, I didn't learn from me, and if I lose once, I will lose for a lifetime. However, fortunately, one day, you will help me, the half master, to get back to the field. If you think about it carefully, it's not too much, the skills of the disciple are still a little more powerful than Wei Li, much more powerful. ”

Yuwen Qingquan was dressed in white with a sword, smiled, and read all the way.

"It's really verbose, where does it look like a master of the Nine Realms. Yuwen Cheshui, who was lying behind Yuwen Qingquan, complained in his heart. He had already woken up, and the foundation of the second realm of martial artists was not fought in vain. But he still lay on his stomach honestly, pretending to faint.

Yuwen Qingquan, who is at the peak of the Nine Realms, doesn't know it, but he is also willing to pretend not to know, and is willing to carry the young man on his back and slowly descend the mountain.
