Chapter 80 On the Tao
The death of the old host did not cause much turmoil, before his death, he only invited Cheng Ru is one person into his room, he said to Cheng Ru that others did not know, only knew that when Cheng Ru came out, there was a chubby little bald monk holding a robe and handed it to Cheng Ru is, and said timidly: "Master said that the position of the abbot has been passed on to you." ”
Everyone was shocked, and so was Chengru.
Someone asked, "If so, can you tell me what the old host told you in the room?"
Cheng Ru shook his head and said, "Don't say it." ”
The others didn't ask any more questions.
Cheng Ru said again: "I can't be the abbot, you make your own decisions." ”
After saying that, he was about to leave this Shaobao Temple, and the little monk pulled Cheng Ruye's sleeve again, "Master said that if you don't want to be the abbot, can you please live in this temple for another day?"
Cheng Ru thought for a while and agreed.
Early the next morning, the little monk handed Cheng Ru a small bag, and Cheng Ru took it without asking what it was, and went directly down the mountain and went to Qionghu.
The rouge shop had already closed, and Cheng Ru was not worried, and after walking around the Qionghu Lake for a while, he met the old man who played the flute. In response to the old man's words, he came to Qionghu Academy to live, and it has been more than two months now.
Now Chao Cheng took a bunch of autumn chrysanthemums and carefully placed them in front of the window of the ancient house where Ji Wenjun lived, that is, the room where the students studying in Qionghu Academy lived.
This is a compulsory course to do every day!
After putting it away, he didn't pay attention to what Ji Wenjun looked like when he saw this bouquet of chrysanthemums, so he went to buy a roast chicken outside the academy by himself, walked around the street again, and finally slipped to the front of the rouge shop.
At this time, the winter weather has come, and the autumn mood is faint. The autumn chrysanthemums in the academy are still blooming, competing with a few ginkgo trees with golden leaves in a small clearing, which is beautiful.
Cheng Ru came here, and looked at the wonderful man sitting under the ginkgo tree reading without disturbing, just squatting in a small pavilion around this clearing and squinting his eyes slightly, and gradually fell asleep.
After a while, I suddenly heard a laugh, opened my eyes and was stunned, and saw Ziling's round-faced girl with a little baby fat.
Cheng Ru also smiled, "Miss Ziling is getting more and more blessed, this face is so tender that she can pinch out the water, I'm afraid that I will have to fight with the best white-flour steamed buns near my family's fishing village!"
Ziling was a little annoyed, "Are you so boastful, I sound like you're scolding me for being fat!"
Cheng Ru pretended to be surprised, "How do you know? You can hear me after so many turns? When did you open your mind?"
Ziling gritted her teeth and pinched Cheng Ruyi's arm viciously, and smiled again when she saw Cheng Ru is grinning appearance, sat on a bench in the pavilion, looked at Cheng Rushi who was sitting on the ground, and said: "Sister Wenjun told me, every day when she comes to study under the ginkgo tree, she always feels that someone is secretly watching her nearby!
Cheng Ru was stunned, and quickly stood up and looked at the clearing, there was no one.
Ziling smiled and said, "Don't look for it, Sister Wen Jun just left, she won't want to talk to you!"
Cheng Ru was slightly disappointed, and said with a smile: "Miss Ziling, don't be wrong, I didn't secretly look at it! Haven't I just found a good place to sleep? Look at what you said, where can I be a pervert? You framed someone without hesitation!"
Ziling snorted, "I don't slander people!" He rolled his eyes and smiled: "Cheng is called Hua, do you really like my Sister Wenjun?"
Cheng Ru originally didn't like the name Cheng Hua, but she couldn't bear the fact that Ziling had been calling this girl endlessly for the past two months, maybe she thought he had a good temper, no matter how angry Cheng Ru was, she didn't care, and finally she could only go with her.
However, Ziling's girl is also a little sensible, and she has called Huacheng endlessly in private, and if there are outsiders, she still hasn't screamed.
At this moment, Cheng Ru's face turned red when he heard Ziling's words, and he squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth, "Little girl, what are you talking nonsense about? Don't say it outside, don't slander my innocence when the time comes!"
Ziling giggled again, "Still dead duck mouth, don't admit it?" Do you think I don't know that the chrysanthemums on the windowsill of Sister Wenjun every day were not put by you?"
Cheng Ru said hesitantly, how could I do such a thing?
"But I can tell you, Sister Wen Jun doesn't like chrysanthemums!"
Cheng Ru was shocked, "Ah?!Then what does she like!"
"Look at the way you look, you still say you didn't put it!"
Cheng Ru was a little annoyed, snorted and was about to leave, but just after walking two steps, he saw a slender figure around the corner.
Cheng Ru was empty-hearted, and called Miss Ji without confidence.
Ji Wenjun was also slightly stunned when he saw Cheng Rus, nodded, and called Cheng Gongzi coldly, which was regarded as a return gift.
Ziling jumped down from the chair and ran towards Ji Wenjun, "Sister Wenjun!"
Ji Wenjun smiled when he looked at Ziling's childlike appearance, and Cheng Ru looked a little stupid.
"Why are you still here? Isn't it cool here? Hurry up, Master Zhong's class is about to begin. ”
"I know, Sister Wenjun!" Ziling smiled, and was about to follow Ji Wenjun to turn around and leave here, when she suddenly turned her head and glanced at Cheng Ru.
Cheng Ru was stunned and didn't move.
Looking at Cheng Ru's unknown appearance, Ziling shook her head hatefully.
Drifting away.
Cheng Ru suddenly called, "Miss Ji." ”
Ji Wenjun paused, turned around and didn't have a smile on his face, "Is there something wrong with Cheng Gongzi?"
Cheng Ru thought about it for a long time, Ji Wenjun waited for a long time, and finally got impatient and was about to turn around when Cheng Ru asked hesitantly, "What flowers does Miss Ji like?"
Ji Wenjun said: "I like them all." ”
Cheng Ru was overjoyed, but she just thought that Ji Wenjun meant that she liked the flowers she gave her, so she couldn't help but smile on her face.
The last time Cheng Ru was so happy was when Ji Wenjun gave back the rouge he gave her back to himself after coming to Qionghu Academy to live.
After Ji Wenjun's figure disappeared around the corner for a while, Cheng Ru jumped from the ground and cheered again.
"What are you shouting, you're sick!" came a slightly hoarse and annoyed voice from beside him.
Cheng Ru turned his face away, and when he saw that it was the old man who had played the flute before, he said in a strange way: "Old man Deng, you are sick, are you, what is the matter with Lao Tzu shouting a few times here? If you don't like to hear it, you can change places! Is Lao Tzu forcing you to stay here?"
After so long, Cheng Ru also knew the name of the old man, his surname was Deng, his name was Maozhi, and the people in the academy called Master Deng after seeing him, but in fact, this Deng Maozhi was the dean of this Qionghu Academy.
Deng Fuzi walked over with a smile, "Why, you speak to me in such a tone?
Cheng Ru blushed at first, and then scolded: "Okay, you old and disrespectful old man, it's fun to hide next to and listen to young people flirting, isn't it? No wonder Jiang Lili wants to say that you are an old immortal who listens to the corner, and when I see it today, it's really like this!"
Deng Fuzi snorted, "Do you think the old man wants to see you flirting and scolding? If it weren't for the old man who saw a trick in the yard and kindly sent it to you, would I be willing to listen to such a as you? Besides, you call flirting and scolding? You don't embarrass me!"
"Why not? Miss Ji said that she liked the flowers I sent! Why isn't it flirting?" Cheng Ru was a little anxious.
Deng Fuzi laughed, "Did she say she liked what you sent?"
"Didn't you say that?"
"Okay, okay, even if it's done!" Deng Fuzi didn't bother to think more about this topic, so as not to make Cheng Ru unhappy, so he said: "Speaking of your friend Jiang Lili, I have to talk about that little thing in Luoyang, eh, what do you think?"
Cheng Ru was a little confused, "What's the matter?
Deng Fuzi asked with a little surprise, "Don't you see that there are a lot of soldiers on the streets these days?"
"You know, what's wrong? You're not here to arrest me!" Cheng Ru disagreed, and then was startled, "Grandma's, you can't really come to arrest me, right?
Deng Fuzi sighed, "Didn't you say that you have a very bright brain? Why did you get into the horns of the bull in the Qionghu Academy? I shouldn't have brought you into this Qionghu Academy in the first place, I hurt you!"
After spending a long time explaining what happened in Luoyang to Cheng Ru, Cheng Ru's face was full of shock, "Who is that, that Mr. Yao is really so domineering?"
"Isn't this right? I was also shocked after hearing the news, the Great Sui was founded for 3,000 years, and the Jingzhou was founded for 30,000 years, although in the past, the Qi Refiner Sect and the country were like well water and river water did not invade each other, and the height of the country was higher than that of the sect, and even the height of the country was higher than that of any martial artist, Qi Refiner, Fang Shi scholar, and this is still the only one!"
"But Mr. Yao is inevitably too ruthless in doing this, won't it cause a backlash from the Sheng Zhou Qi Refiners for a while? If I am allowed to come, I still think it is better to come in step by step!"
"This is the reason why Mr. Yao is a national scholar, but you are still sad in this Qionghu Academy!"
Cheng Ru frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
"Originally, I couldn't figure it out, but it took me about ten days to figure it out! Mr. Yao is a risky move! It's also a wonderful move!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Think about it, in the sect anyway, the strong are kings, and the rules are also the rules of the strong. And the country is different, just like this Yellow Sky Pure Continent, it does not mean that a warrior can be invincible in the world, he can be the emperor, nor does it mean that an emperor must be invincible in the world! Therefore, the rules of the country are not the rules set by the strong, but the law, and it is a true truth!"
Cheng Ru thought for a moment and asked, "Then what?"
"Then, think about it, if eating is a crime of beheading, and a soldier comes to arrest you, will you resist?"
"Definitely resist!" Cheng Ru shouted loudly: "I'm sick, can I be guilty of eating?" At the end, he looked at Deng Fuzi with disdain, "Tell me where there will be such a crime?"
Deng Fuzi laughed, "But for some monks of the Fifth Mountain, Sixth Mountain and above, killing people is just commonplace, and this is also a crime?"
Hearing this, Cheng Ru was stunned, and secretly pondered for a moment, "But in the Great Sui, you have to abide by the truth of the Great Sui, even if you are Xie Xingzhi, you will be beheaded if you kill an innocent person in the Great Sui for no reason! But Xie Xingzhi doesn't see it that way? So when someone comes to arrest him, he will resist! But how powerful he is, I am afraid that only one person can penetrate most of the Great Sui, and if he can't be caught at that time, the laws of the Great Sui will be useless! Isn't it?"
Deng Fuzi nodded with satisfaction.
"But in that case, shouldn't we still have to proceed step by step? Such a fierce law was established for a while, and if there were warriors from the seventh and eighth mountains who killed people and refused to accept them, what would they do? If you can't catch him, won't the people think that the law of the Great Sui is a piece of waste paper, and the emperor's golden mouth and jade words are also gossip, right?"
"That's right!" Deng Fuzi bowed his head and said, "But let me ask you, if you want to do it step by step, what can you do to make all the people in the land of the Great Sui obey the reason?"
Cheng Ru thought for a long time, "First teach and understand all the people, it will take two hundred years here, and then use gentle means in the Great Sui Land, such as the powerful murderer, although they do not die, they still have to serve twenty years of labor." And when the monks of the Great Sui Dynasty who were originally accused of asking the rules of survival by the weak and the strong are all dead, they will be renewed, and they will be replaced for another 600 years! Then they will slowly use ruthless means, or the powerful will resist, or rebel, and they will kill all of them through all kinds of conspiracies and schemes, and it will be another 200 years! At this time, the people of the Great Sui can abide by the law. ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Ru frowned, "But after all, the Great Sui is not closed off from the country, there are Great Sui people who want to go out, and there are outsiders who want to enter the Great Sui! I don't know what year or month, or no year or month. ”
Deng Fuzi laughed, "You said that you can't ask outsiders to ignore the Great Sui before they can ask outsiders to abide by the law in the land of Great Sui, but now that the Great Sui is at the time of the strongest national strength, shouldn't you use ruthless measures at this time? What you said is a thousand years away from what Mr. Yao did!"
Cheng Ru said: "But who knew that the Great Sui would not be stronger?"
"The Great Sui was founded for 3,000 years, and the national strength has been slowly rising, and now there are Zhao Chang'an, Yao Qinghe, Pei Shan, Nanyang Wang, all the juniors of my Qionghu Academy, and all the young martial artists of his military aircraft battalion.
Cheng Ru pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "But why did Mr. Yao do this? Since the Great Sui is strong, why do you do such a thing? If you wait for those Sheng Zhou Qi refiners to rebound, won't even the Sheng Shi be killed and defeated? I don't think that the Great Sui can block a thirteenth-floor flat land immortal!"
After 10 years of stability, the Great Sui has slowly settled down! Precipitation, and then he has lost his fighting spirit! Just like a good man who has earned thousands of family fortunes, he suddenly gave up business, and after a year of being in the Red Mansion and Green Powder, you said that he would still have the fighting spirit to continue to make money? After tasting the sweetness, anyway, he has already earned money that he can't spend in three lifetimes, and he has struggled for most of his life anyway, why don't he stop to rest? And after resting? The wives and concubines and heirs of the family also think the same, so they are extravagant and indulgent! Three generations can be ruined! The reason is figured out, what about the Great Sui?"
Cheng Ru is indisputable.
Deng Fuzi replied to himself: "This is the reason why Mr. Yao is a national soldier and you die in the tip of this bull's horn! If you enter, you will not be able to fight at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish! Mr. Yao's move not only shocked the hearts of the people of the Great Sui and re-aroused the fighting spirit of the Great Sui! It also set up an enemy for the Great Sui, an enemy that may or may not exist! Under the premise that the Great Sui has been holding its breath for 3,000 years because of the casual disposal of outsiders, all the people of the Great Sui will desperately move forward for this unwarranted enemy! Whether it is a monarch, a soldier, a literati, or a pawn of a peddler! Yao Guoshi, he stubbornly postponed the decline of the Great Sui by a thousand years!"
Cheng Ru sighed, "I'm not as good as Mr. Yao!"
Deng Fuzi smiled, "Mr. Yao is already seventy or eighty years old, how old are you now?
"Old man Deng, you said such things, or listen to this sentence!"
Deng Fuzi was stunned, laughed, pointed at Cheng Ru and said, "You kid, it's really... “
When Deng Fuzi was about to get up, he suddenly took out a bag from his arms, "No, did you drop this?"
Cheng Ruye's face changed color slightly, nodded, and was about to take it when Deng Fuzi suddenly took it back, and said with a smile: "Your kid's face has changed so quickly?
Cheng Ru's face was full of horror, "Don't!!"
Deng Fuzi opened the bag, only to see a golden light lit up, and a bead slowly rose from the bag, this is a relic!
This relic just floated into the air and rushed towards Cheng Rushi, burrowed into Cheng Ruyi's heavenly spirit cover, sank into the sea of knowledge, and intertwined with another relic!
There is a circle of Buddha light emerging from the face like ashes!
Cheng Ru looked at Deng Fuzi with trembling lips, "Old man Deng!!You hurt me!!"
Deng Fuzi was already dumbfounded, and muttered: "This kid is really a monk!"
