Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 18. The broom is self-cherished

"Neither are the miscellaneous servants. Tian Chengzi did not back down.

Before he spoke, Sima asked him about some expectations, and after hearing the response, his expectations were disappointed, and he felt a little lonely in his heart. On the way back, he had thought about many possible results, and the one he got at the moment was the worst.

Fortunately, although the worst result was expected, it was not unprepared, nor unacceptable.

"General Gao has done a lot for me, and I can't abandon him again. Sima asked him to speak again, and his words were very firm.

"The road is difficult, and chicken ribs are useless. Worried that Sima Wenzhi would not be able to understand the stakes of this matter, Tian Chengzi gave advice.

Tian Chengzi said, Sima asked him to understand.

The chicken ribs are tasteless and it is a pity to abandon them, and Tianchengzi is reminding him that the path he and the person outside the mountain gate is not the same, and that person is not beneficial to his path. Don't do useless things. Useless people, don't force them to stay.

But Sima Wen has already made a choice in his heart, General Gao is not a dispensable chicken rib.

He was a good general of the Jin State and a loyal servant of the Sima family. When you are in trouble, you can see the truth, and General Gao's perseverance moved Sima Wen greatly. At this moment, he already regarded him as a loved one in his heart.

At the same time, Sima Wenzhi was very disgusted with the "Great Dao" in Tianchengzi's mouth.

If a person is only distinguished according to what is useful and what is useless, and if he is indifferent, what can he do even if he perceives the avenue. I still cherish my broom, not to mention the person who has been regarded as a relative.

The choice has been made, Sima Wen was relieved in his heart, and exhaled a long breath.

"How?" Seeing that he had made up his mind, Tian Chengzi asked.

Sima Wenzhi did not reply, but reached out to touch the jade plate on his waist. After taking off the jade plaque, he did not stop and presented it to Tianchengzi with both hands.

A few days ago in the Shangqing Palace, Tian Chengzi had explained that this item could not be sent back easily. At this time, he was not eliminated from the sect, and there was no fall, so the implication was obvious, and he was willing to take the initiative to leave the sect.

Seeing Sima Qianzhi's choice, Tianchengzi's face was gloomy.

He could have done it, but what he could do was very different from what he could do. Even if you agree, you won't agree at this time. Answering requests will encourage Sima Wenzhi's dependence on him, and will also attract more criticism from others.

"When you go down the mountain, hand it over to the guard disciples. Tian Chengzi didn't stretch out his hand to take it, turned around and walked back.

After Tian Chengzi left, after a while, Sima Wenzhi set off and began to walk towards his residence. From the mountain gate to Shangqing Peak, whether it is the upper peak or the lower peak, the initial road is the same. If you follow Tian Chengzi back immediately, you may have the opportunity to plead again on the way.

He didn't do that, and both men stood firm unless one side compromised. Although Sima Wenzhi is just a child, he also has self-esteem, and he deliberately distanced himself from Tianchengzi.

Before walking to the residence, Sima asked with a suspicious face.

When he went to the mountain gate, he left in a hurry, and he had time to close the door of the house. At this time, the door of the house was closed, and I don't know who did it.

Indeed, someone has come, and they have not yet left. After Ling Shuang was expelled from the mountain gate, he did not return to his residence, but came to Sima Wenzhi's house. At this time, he was looking out through the window.

"Little Master, come in quickly. ”

Seeing Sima Wenzhi returning, Ling Shuang opened the door and hurriedly called him into the house. At this moment, there were only the two of them around, and Ling Shuang's title to Sima Wenzhi had also changed from Uncle Shi to Xiao Master.

After Sima Wenzhi entered the house, Ling Shuang began to ask about what happened after everyone left. Sima asked him to be in a bad mood, and he was perfunctory with no match. At the same time, start packing up your own belongings in the house.

In Qingxuan Mountain, he stayed for more than a month, and there were not many items, so he quickly packed up.

"Little Master, what are you doing here?" Ling Shuang noticed his movements, a little puzzled, and asked.

"Before the mountain gate, I handed back the jade plate, and the Taoist of Tianchengzi agreed. Sima asked and didn't turn back, and his words were a little lonely. The title of Tianchengzi has also changed from master to Taoist.

What does it mean to return the jade plate, Ling Shuang also understood, and was surprised after hearing it. She didn't know about Sima Wenzhi's past with General Gao, nor did she know everything that happened after she was expelled. Before Sima asked her to come back, she had a lot of guesses, and she never thought that it would end like this.

"Then why is it still on you?" Ling Shuang looked at the jade plate on Sima Wenzhi's waist, she still didn't believe it.

"Daoist Tianchengzi didn't take it on the spot, so he ordered me to hand it over to the disciples guarding the mountain gate when I left. Sima asked.

"Then when are you leaving?" Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Ling Shuang began to believe it.

Sima asked Zhi to think about when he would leave.

In front of Tianchengzi, he acted resolutely and freely. But when I really want to leave at this time, I am somewhat reluctant. But he didn't want to procrastinate, he didn't tell when General Gao would go out of the mountain gate again, and it dragged on for a long time, for fear that something would happen to him again.

"Soon. There was no fixed time, and Sima Zhi could only respond like this, and his words were vague.

"I'll go and ask my ancestor to let his old man leave you behind. Hearing Sima Qianzhi's reply, Ling Shuang felt anxious. She didn't want Sima to ask her to leave, let alone leave so quickly.

"It's useless, this matter is the result of the decision between me and the head of your sect, and the head of the earth leader can't influence it. Sima Wen's heart is resolute, and it is almost impossible for Di Kuizi to convince his own principal.

"What about that?" Ling Shuang said with a faint cry.

"Can you help me do something?" asked Sima asked, and found his clothes from the previous world. Clothing was the only item he brought with him when he first entered the mountain gate, and it was not discarded. Fortunately, it is as good as ever, and it is also useful at this time.

"What's the matter?" Ling Shuang turned from sadness to joy when she heard this, thinking that things had taken a turn for the better.

"Help me prepare a miscellaneous outfit with all the accessories. Sima asked what the request was.

"What do you want clothes for?" Ling Shuang asked rhetorically, she felt that this matter had nothing to do with his whereabouts.

"General Gao has gone through hardships and dangers before, and the clothes on his body are already in tatters, and they are useless. Sima asked.

It's what others want and what you want for yourself. The worldly clothes had been found, and he wanted to change them before leaving the mountain, but it was not convenient for Ling Shuang to be here.

Ling Shuang's heart gradually sank again, after all, this matter was not something she could control, but she still agreed. All that can be done now is to satisfy Sima Wenzhi's request.

"Clothing should be coarse and loose. ”

After Ling Shuang went out, Sima asked what she thought of, chased her out and shouted at her figure. General Gao is a military general, his body is larger than ordinary people, he is worried that the clothes brought by Ling Shuang are too small, and he will go back to change them and delay time.

"You know, I've seen this person too. The reply came from afar, and Ling Shuang didn't turn back.
