Chapter 72 Satisfaction
Gongsun Qianxue lowered her eyebrows and said yes, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
She thought that there were those powerful people in her family, and there were so many powerful teachers around her, and so many people staring at her, even if she wanted to be used, I was afraid she wouldn't be able to do it.
This old man is a senior official, and he doesn't know how many officials he has been promoted over the years, looking at her look at this time, he can even guess what she is thinking at this time, and he can't help but feel a little angry.
"Teacher. ”
Gongsun Qianxue's voice suddenly sounded again.
She looked out the window, and the pavilion where she and the old man were located was halfway up a hill, and although this hill was low, it was enough to see many of the scenery of Changling.
"Strange, if I remember correctly, isn't that place the River of the Dead? I have heard that in the old Changling, if some homeless people died, and others had no money to collect them, they would roll up straw mats and throw them there. Although it seems that there has not been one in these years, it is not extremely yin there, and even people who pick artemisia grass and sell it for money are not willing to go, why are there so many people today?"
The old man followed her gaze and glanced at the place, but his face looked a little better, "The disciple of Gu Liren in the Bashan Sword Field before, Wang Jingmeng, I think you have also heard that today should be his third sword competition." ”
"The third sword fight?"
Gongsun Qianxue was a little surprised, "The previous two were not in the drying field, why did you change places now, where are you?"
"Although the drying yard is a good place to compare swords, the surrounding streets and alleys are narrow and inconvenient. ”
The old man saw that she seemed to be very interested, so he took advantage of this matter to teach, and said: "Not to mention that there are people in life, but there are too many visitors, in case some courtyard walls are collapsed, and someone is injured, and it will be investigated, and the people in this Bashan sword field will be unable to escape the blame." But the Dead Man's River generation is a wasteland, not to mention hundreds of carriages, even thousands of carriages can be parked, and the south bank of the Dead Man's River was originally a dirt slope high ground, where they could compete with swords, and they could see it within miles, and even if someone had some accidents in that kind of place, they could not blame them. ”
"If there are the same casualties, but different places will lead to different results. The old man looked at Gongsun Qianxue, who was listening carefully, and asked, "Do you know why?"
"One is the downtown area, and the other is the wilderness. ”
Gongsun Qianxue thought about it seriously now, and said: "In the downtown area, it is to obstruct peace and order to punish the crime, but in the field of sword competition, there is no way to rely on it, unless the gods think that there are enemy spies on both sides of the sword competition, maybe they can be arrested and interrogated, but the rest of the divisions cannot be controlled." ”
The old man's eyes flashed with some satisfaction this time, he nodded, and said slowly: "You must understand that any law, any rules, in the end, is attributed to the rule of man, and the law and rules are all determined by man. If you can understand who you need to avoid and who you don't care, then you will have a way to do it in the future. ”
Gongsun Qianxue couldn't help it, laughed lightly, and said: "Teacher, you mean, sometimes you don't have to deal with the law, the rules are not rude, the key is to see if anyone can cure you?"
The old man's eyes flashed with light, and he pondered for a moment and said, "If you understand it like this, it doesn't hurt. ”
"It's just...."
Gongsun Qianxue hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and smiled: "Teacher, it seems a little inappropriate to say this kind of thing to me in your capacity." ”
"If a man wants to be accessible, he must act in harmony, and if he is rebellious, if the sword is too hard, it will easily break. The old man glanced at her, his face was expressionless, and said: "There is an old saying in Changling, when you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk about ghosts." Gongsun family... Naturally, you can not follow a lot of rules, I am in front of you, I can naturally say this, you will save a lot of trouble when you act, but if you are facing a poor student, and it is not easy to be in an important position, I naturally will not say that. ”
Gongsun Qianxue listened to it, but for these teachings, she instantly lost interest again.
"I heard that this disciple of the Bashan Sword Field won easily in the sword competition before, and I don't know who the opponent is in this third sword competition?" she quietly diverted the topic.
"Hundred Flowers Sword Workshop Hundred Miles Tiger Sniff. The old man looked at the wasteland in the distance, which was full of carts and horses, and at least tens of thousands of people had gathered.
"Hundred Flowers Sword Workshop?"
Gongsun Qianxue frowned slightly, and said, "Is this Baili Tiger Sniff very famous, why haven't I heard of it." ”
"Compared to Yu Xiuchun, it is only between the best, so there should be no surprise in this sword competition. The old man said lightly, "If this Wang Jingmeng and those people around him are really smart, this sword competition will not only win, but it will make people feel wonderful." ”
"He wants to build momentum, go to see the sword competition in the city, after all, there are a few cultivators, most people just watch the excitement, if most of the spectators feel that it is lively and exciting, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and more people will go to see it. ”
Gongsun Qianxue also looked at the field and said seriously: "It's just that there are so many people in the third sword competition, which is also remarkable." ”
"You also learn swords, and your family is full of powerful cultivators. And the people who taught you the sword say that you are amazingly talented. The old man turned his head, looked at her and smiled teasingly, and said, "This Wang Jingmeng is said to be a rare talent in a hundred years, why don't you go and take a look, how is his talent better than yours?"
Gongsun Qianxue was suddenly a little displeased, and said, "You are not allowed to go to the house." ”
The old man looked at her and didn't say anything, but there was a little more sarcasm in his smile.
Gongsun Qianxue realized some meaning, and her eyes lit up, "The teacher just told me before, in fact, you don't need to care about the law, the rules are not in order, the key is to see if there is someone to govern." ”
The old man said, "I didn't say anything about it. ”
"Apply what you have learned, and the teacher's principles can naturally be used in world affairs. Gongsun Qianxue pursed her lips and laughed.
The old man sneered, "Then it depends on whether you can use it, whether you can use it." To put it simply, this kind of wild land, you are not afraid of punishment, try your best, I am afraid you will not be able to go. ”
"Then according to the principle taught by the teacher last time, I want to watch him compete with swords, and it seems that I don't need to go to this wild river, try to make the place where he can compete next time with swords, become a place where I can go, can't I?"
Gongsun Qianxue thought seriously, "Or... I heard that these people in Bashan Sword Field live in the Falling Moon Residence?"
"These are your business, and today is over. ”
The old man went out expressionlessly, but on the way down the mountain, there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Teaching students according to their aptitude and taking advantage of things, he is very satisfied with Gongsun Qianxue's performance, but he is also very satisfied with himself.
