In the study, Mu Tangzhi and Gongsun Zhongmou sat opposite each other. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few moments later, there was a knock at the door.

Mu Tangzhi said softly: "Come in." ”

Xu Beiyou, dressed in black and red, pushed the door in, bowed and saluted, "His Royal Highness the King of Liao, Master." ”

Liao Wang Mutangzhi is just the age of his standing this year, young and handsome appearance, but in terms of mentality, he is more like a dying old man sitting in front of him, at this point, the two can be said to have something in common, one is carrying the sword sect that has existed in name only, and the other is carrying the crumbling Liao Wangfu. However, Gongsun Zhongmou has decades of experience, and after the ups and downs, he has created an indifferent state of mind that is not surprised by gains and losses, while Mu Tangzhi is just a young man, without Gongsun Zhongmou's experience and state of mind, but under this pressure he has become today's gloomy Liao King.

Even Xu Beiyou could see the gloom between Mu Tang's eyebrows, which showed how heavy the thoughts of His Royal Highness the King of Liao were and how heavy the burden was on his body.

It's not a sign of longevity.

Mu Tangzhi nodded slightly in response.

Although he did not deliberately make the demeanor of the corporal of the big shots, but in fact, Mu Tangzhi is not annoying, aside from the identity of the King of Liao, he is undoubtedly a perfect family son who has been carefully cultivated by the family.

However, with the experience of Duanmuyu, the son of the family, Xu Beiyou was jealous of his peers from these high-ranking families, and the king of Liao, the leader of the family, made him dare not be careless.

Gongsun Zhongmou sat on the side and looked at Xu Beiyou and the Liao King who was about to become an ally with great interest, Xu Beiyou was his successor, and he was not expected to play much of a role now, but many things had to start to prepare, too many relationships were all tied to Gongsun Zhongmou alone, if Gongsun Zhongmou was not there, these relationships would be broken, and now what he has to do is to let Xu Beiyou smoothly inherit this big net that he has carefully constructed for a lifetime, and the King of Liao is one of the nets, let Xu Beiyou deal with the King of Liao, it is unrealistic, the gap is too big, the right is regarded as an experience, Xu Beiyou is not a family that does not know the suffering of the bottom, what he lacks is the insight of this upper world, this kind of thing, it is useless to pass it on, and it has to be experienced.

Gongsun Zhongmou laughed softly: "King Liao, you are still young, and there is still a long way to go." In this world, today we are old, but tomorrow it will be yours. ”

Mu Tangzhi smiled silently, Gongsun Zhongmou's words meant something, and the tone of some elders may be a little excessive, but after careful calculation, Gongsun Zhongmou and his mother are the same generation, and they can barely say it. As for Xu Beiyou, although he can't see the clues for the time being, he can get into the eyes of Gongsun Zhongmou, and he won't be far behind.

Gongsun Zhongmou pointed at Xu Beiyou and said slowly: "The road of King Liao and Sword Sect together will be very long, but the road of old decay will not be too long, and the person who will talk to His Royal Highness King Liao about these heart-wrenching words in the future is him." ”

Mu Tangzhi said calmly: "Mr. Gongsun is explaining the aftermath?"

Gongsun Zhongmou sat on the chair and smiled: " When a person is old, he always thinks about these things behind him, you are from a family, you know what is going on with the so-called family high valve, whether it is an ordinary family, or a royal prince, in the final analysis, it is still a family word, when you are a young master, wait for the old man to pave the way for you, be a master, and then pave the way for your son, generation after generation will be passed down like this, and the same is true of the sect, when the first master went too early, the sword sect withered, and I suffered deeply, so when I came to my apprentice, I didn't want to let him take so many detours. ”

Mu Tangzhi chuckled, and his tone was a little feminine raised in the deep palace, "Mr. Gongsun, in terms of your cultivation, is it too early to talk about this?"

Gongsun Zhongmou smiled lightly: "Let go when it's time to let go, while I'm still alive, I can still correct one or two things wrong, so as not to make a big mistake in the future and regret it." ”

Mu Tangzhi seemed a little incredulous, "I heard that Mr. Gongsun and the head of the Dao Sect are the same age as Geng, and they are also young partners, but this mentality is completely different. ”

Gongsun Zhongmou said disapprerovingly: "The same age is not the same life, he is running to the sky, but I can only go underground." ”

Xu Beiyou's face was calm and silent.

Buddhism says that there are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment, can't ask for, and can't let go.

In this life, Gongsun Zhongmou has experienced the collapse of the family, the death of his brother, and the separation of husband and wife, and he can't ask for what he wants in his heart, and he can't let go of the Sword Sect.

He has suffered all kinds of suffering.

Maybe in the near future, there will be a resentment meeting.

It's really hard in life.

But then again, just as Yasheng said, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. It is precisely because of these ups and downs that today's Gongsun Zhongmou has been created, he is no longer the son of a family who was above the top when he was young, he almost started from scratch, and he fought against the Daomen and the court on his own, and he had a foothold in this world.

Even if today's Gongsun Zhongmou wears a shabby black robe, he is more like a superior than Xu Beiyou, who is dressed in Shu brocade weaving and forging, which is a trend honed by time and the world.

This deep conversation in the study lasted until Yin, and Xu Beiyou only listened most of the time and did not interject. After coming out of the study, the master and apprentice went to Qinglianju.

When walking through the long black corridor, Gongsun Zhongmou said slowly: "Do you think this corridor is a little strange? This is actually a formation, one of the three great scholars of Buddhism was not left behind, it is very interesting, at first I wanted you to go to the study together, but Mu Tangzhi did not agree, so the two of us made a bet, if you can walk through this corridor, Mu Tangzhi agreed to let you go to the study, but you did not embarrass the teacher, so that His Royal Highness the King of Liao was really surprised." ”

"People like Mu Tangzhi say that he can't afford to be profitable, or say that he is utilitarian, there are always traces to follow, and there is a bottom line, and he is willing to gamble and lose. Where is the most important place for a man? It's not a bedroom, it's a study, Xiao Yu had three study rooms in the past, named Wen Ti Zhai, Yang Shen Zhai and Shou Xin Zhai, Wen Ti Zhai is basically able to go with some status and status, Xiao Yu summons people to discuss matters here on weekdays, Yang Shen Zhai is much more private, only a few people close to him can enter, as for Shou Xin Zhai, except for Xiao Yu himself, no one else is allowed to enter, even Lin Yinping. So today Mu Tangzhi agreed to let you into his study, the implication is to recognize you, although there is a reason to see my face, but it is also accumulating incense in advance, if one day you can really take over the position of the teacher, then this early years of incense is particularly heavy. ”

Xu Beiyou nodded silently.

Gongsun Zhongmou said calmly: "Since I have talked about it today, I will say some heartfelt words to you as a teacher, just now Mu Tangzhi asked if the teacher is explaining the future, in fact, it is not, for the teacher to live to this age, it is almost a thin day, and the road in the future will depend on you to walk, and this road is very difficult to walk, it is also very long, you may not be able to finish it in a lifetime, if you want to walk more easily, in addition to tenacity, you must also have eye knowledge, The pattern in your chest and the city government in your heart, these three points, your city government is already good among your peers, and you can do it without being happy or angry. What is lacking is insight and pattern, these two points are generally interdependent, there is insight to have a pattern, this is not for the teacher to take you around to finish the matter, in general, in addition to reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, but also you have to think, to change, this is innate, forced not to come. ”

"You want to be a master, this is very good, as a teacher, I hate some people at a young age to say what nonsense about being happy and living in seclusion, there has never been a carefree person in this world, if you want to be free, you have to step on this world first, then you will be free. ”

Xu Beiyou nodded heavily.

Gongsun Zhongmou said with a smile: "Pingtou people, small officials, county officials, county orders, notification prefects, one state and three divisions, six cabinets, how many thresholds are there on this road? Not to mention that in addition to this, there are military attachés and generals under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, relatives of the clan who are beyond the civil and military, plus a eunuch, the imperial court is known as a million army, 100,000 official eunuchs, it is really not a lie. ”

"So, calm down and boil slowly, stay up and get out, just like stepping on someone else's position, if one day, when you find that there is no one in front of you, then you are really a person. ”
