After this thrilling assassination, the people watching were afraid to come out, let alone move around at will, for fear of being regarded as an assassin.

The emperor of the empire was as calm as water, and continued to take the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to the outside of Chang'an City, and the officials of the capital, that is, the Beijing officials, followed closely behind, and all the in-service Beijing officials of the five grades came today. That's why there were thousands of people in battle.

Thousands of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty walked almost in unison, so that the third-rate nine factions watching along the way were shocked, and the people in the empire, especially the people of Chang'an Jingcheng, felt a sense of pride at this time, and some people saw that their fathers were in that crowd, although the position was very backward, but they were still extremely proud, excited, and they couldn't wait to look up to the sky and let the people around them know, but because of the serious reminders of the elders before, they forcibly pressed the excitement in their hearts, and did not shout out.

Not only the sound of neat and consistent steps, but also the jingle of various jade pendants on the waist with gorgeous jade belts when walking, intermingling together, making people intoxicated.

Most of those civil officials are high-spirited and bookish who look at the world, while those military attaches are more of a martial artist with a bloody smell of Jin Ge Iron Horse Battle Battlefield.

But no matter what the official is, no matter how big or small the official is, there is a sense of confidence in the invincibility of the empire on his face, that is, those who watch the people of their own country are also thinking in their hearts: With this empire, who can be the enemy?!

The other three empires are also like this, from the Son of Heaven to the peddlers and pawns, they all have this sense of self-confidence. It is also this kind of imperial invincible self-confidence that caused the land sinking of Zhongzhou and even Kyushu in the future. This is where the chaos of the world arises.

"Okay, I've seen it, I'll take you to meet an old man, who is also a senior. When the Son of Heaven of the Empire walked to the end of the street, Chu Chou took Zhao Zhishui and left the Zuixian Building, and when he went downstairs, he saw the poems engraved on the wall on the first floor that he had seen several times, which were written by a certain poet back then, because of his admiration for Li Taibai:

Taibai Doujiu poems are hundreds, and the restaurant in Chang'an City sleeps.

The Son of Heaven couldn't get on the boat, and claimed that his ministers were immortals in wine.

Chu Chou thought of his unruly and carefree Brother Li, and couldn't help but smile faintly.

Squeeze through the crowds, turn to a small street with no people, and walk leisurely, with a slightly slower pace.

Even if it is a small street, there are still a variety of shops on both sides, and there are even many taverns, restaurants, and tea shops in some alleys, although they are remote, but there are still people, which is also where the vitality of the empire lies.

Thinking of the old gentleman he was about to meet, Chu Chou couldn't help but sigh a little.

"Master, why are you frowning?" Zhao Zhishui carefully observed that Chu Chou kept frowning.

"The man we're going to meet is an old gentleman, not to mention fighting. only talks about reasoning, but he can't talk about him as a teacher. Chu Chou said with a smile.

Zhao Zhishui was surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect that in this world, there are still people who can be reasonable and talk about Master?

"In this world in Kyushu, no one's truth is recognized as the greatest, everyone needs some general truth, but also has their own reason, for their own this is the biggest. If someone wants to forcibly change the reasoning of others, unless that person's reasoning is very right, and the person who listens to the reasoning is also very right, and they cannot forcibly change it, they need to slowly correct the wrong reasoning of others. However, many times, when you look at other people's truths as wrong, but for him, it is not necessarily wrong, or it is not necessarily wrong to be so ruthless, and all kinds of truths in the world have their own reasons. ”

Chu Chou looked at Zhao Zhishui and continued: "Even if it's me, sometimes I make mistakes without knowing it, so I tell you the truth, you listen to it, think about it, judge what is right and wrong, and then remember it in your heart." In this way, you can avoid some detours in the future. When I let you read books, I increase your ability to judge whether the truth is right or wrong for yourself and right and wrong for others. ”

From the first day of Zhao Zhishui's sword practice, Chu Chou bought books for her to read, and every day she would squeeze out time to read a book, take a look at the truth of the world, and look at the experience of others. In the past few years, there has been no interruption.

Chu Chou took Zhao Zhishui around more than a dozen large and small streets, and then stopped in a small street, and in front of him was a private school. At this time, the book is loud.

"Zi said: 'When you learn and learn it, don't you also say it?' There are friends from afar, don't you be happy?'

"The son said: 'If you don't sacrifice to your ghosts, you will be flattering, and if you don't do what is righteous, you will not be brave. ’”

"Zi said: 'The gentleman is virtuous, the villain is virtuous, the gentleman is giving, and the villain is giving. ’”

An old gentleman read the sentences of the sages in the book, and the children shook their heads and read them one by one, although their voices were childish, they were full of anger.

"Okay, that's the end of today, remember to recite the sentences I assigned when you get home. The old gentleman at the private school said.

"Yes!" the children nodded in agreement, and then ran out in groups with a grin.

This old gentleman has high cheekbones, snow-white temples, a thin face, black eyebrows, and white hair, but it is neatly combed, giving people a very neat feeling.

Wearing a clean Confucian shirt as if he had just been washed, the old man was in a very good spirit, his eyes were full of deep and wise light, and he did not see any sense of nobility in his temperament, but gave people a feeling like a spring breeze.

"Coming?"

"It's coming. ”

"Are you alright?"

"It's ok. ”

"It seems that the knot in my heart has been untied, but it has not been completely pulled out of the depths of my heart. The old man smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to signal Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui to enter the house.

"This little girl is your apprentice, right?" The old man smiled kindly at Zhao Zhishui, and Zhao Zhishui only felt that a spring breeze was blowing, making people feel comfortable. Zhao Zhishui had a very good impression of this old man at first sight.

"Hmm. Zhishui's talent is very good. Chu Chou nodded.

"Come, drink tea. The old man took out a pot of freshly brewed tea from the inner room, and poured it into the cup prepared in advance, and the fragrance of tea overflowed for a while.

"The old gentleman is still so accurate in his calculations, he can predict what will happen in advance. Chu Chou took a sip of tea and continued: "The tea is still as delicious as before!"

"Old man, if you are sure to know the general trend today, what are your plans?" Chu Chou asked with some respect.

What is difficult is that everyone in the world is benevolent. The old man replied to the question.

Chu Chou nodded as if he understood, and said, "What I admire more is the old gentleman, who works hard to find answers for the benevolence of the people in the world." A thousand years are like a day, up and down and seeking. ”

"It's just that you don't make Confucianism mistaken, otherwise what's the use of reading so many books?" the old man smiled and shook his head, "It's not like you Jianghu people, your martial arts are so high that you can almost do whatever you want, we Confucians pay more attention to self-denial and self-denial, and fight against your own heart, but fundamentally speaking, this is still a bit the same as the cultivation heart of your Jianghu monks." ”

"What does the old gentleman think of this catastrophe?"

"The name is not right, the word is not good. If you don't go your way, you can't do it. The old man put away his smile, "Even if the general trend of the four empires is enough, the time and place are favorable, but the general trend of the other large and small dynasties is not enough. And the rivers and lakes of Middle-earth Shenzhou, at first glance, are a mess, with intrigues between them, but once that time comes, they will definitely be united, after all, the ambitions of the four empires are too great, and those super sects can't resist desperately. Therefore, the general trend of the rivers and lakes is in the hands of the people in the rivers and lakes. ”

After taking a sip of green tea, the old man got up and stood up, gesturing with his hands: "When the time comes, the best and worst result is that the two general trends collide at one time, at the beginning, the momentum of the four empires can run through Changhong, but after a long time, it will be exhausted again, and the end will be failure." Those empires must have seen this, so they have to gather momentum, and when that momentum reaches a certain level, they must disperse the major sects of the Middle Earth Divine Prefecture in one go to have a chance of winning. ”

Chu Chou nodded in agreement, this was similar to what he thought, and then said: "But the rivers and lakes of this generation are very vibrant, and many young juniors have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and when these rising stars grow up, it will be unfavorable to the four empires at that time." Maybe at that time, a few monks of the Nine Rank Realm joined forces to enter the imperial capital and slaughtered the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and even the Son of Heaven in one go. ”

"So, while these empires are gathering momentum, they are also looking for opportunities, looking for a time when the old generation is withering and the new generation has not fully grown up, at that time, it is the weakest time for the rivers and lakes. The old man said.

"The 'native' forces such as the East Pole Dao Palace, the West Pole Buddha Gate, the Northern Wilderness Fire Temple, the Ice God Palace, and the Southern Barbarian Barbarians are estimated to be the first batch of purges at that time. Chu Chou said softly.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhishui suddenly felt a little disgusted with those empires in her heart, and as time passed, this state of mind became more and more intense, which also created a scene where she became the immortal lord of martial arts many years later, leading the entire rivers and lakes to suppress the major dynasties in the world, resulting in a scene where no dynasty in Kyushu in the world could become an empire.

"There is no way, since ancient times, it has been forbidden to use martial arts, maybe after a long time, there will be no more chivalrous and righteous people in the world. The old man paced slowly in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking about something.

"Old man, as the person who reads the most in the world, is there nothing he can do to stop this catastrophe?"

"If I had a way, then the Buddha and the Taoist Ancestor wouldn't have had to talk to me all night when they came to me to discuss things two years ago. The old man smiled and shook his head.

Zhao Zhishui didn't know the identity of the old man, but when she heard the old man's words, she was not shocked, but she just wondered who the old man was.

"This is the real speaker of the 'Zi Yue' you read every day, and he is also the first generation of the lord of the Confucian Mansion and the holy master of Confucianism. Chu Chou seemed to see through Zhao Zhishui's doubts, and got up to introduce the old man.

It was he who traveled to study and became the object of imitation for later generations of scholars who traveled thousands of miles. It was also he who single-handedly created many of the principles that became the universal principles that all classes in the world of Kyushu followed and observed.

The saints of the three religions, the holy teachers of Confucianism have the greatest influence on the world, and are recognized as the ancestors of the hundred schools of thought.

But no one could have imagined that the Holy Ancestor, who was famous in the world thousands of years ago, was still alive and teaching in a small private school on a small street in the Eastern Pole Empire, talking about the general trend of the world with a great sword immortal who was known to the world a hundred years ago.
