Chapter Seventy-Three: Wisdom and Courage
The five people who followed Bai Xiugu were all taken aback, they didn't expect that Bai Zong's practice would make a useless move? Although this sleeve only used no more than three layers of true qi, and the purpose was only to force the other party to relieve Qi Haoran's siege, this black-clothed young man only took it safely with his insight and skill realm, and even managed to continue to restrain Qi Haoran!
Several of them were deliberating, and when they heard the message from Nangong Yanqing Lingzhong, they thought that something big had happened, and when they arrived, they found that Qi Haoran, a disciple of the World Academy, who had reached the peak of the cultivation realm in the third place in the annual examination of the Insight Realm last year, was actually pressed to the ground with a stick by a black-clothed young man who only had the Insight Realm. It's really a shame for the academy!
What's even more embarrassing is that this extremely humiliating thing still happened in the academy, and many academy disciples were in full view.
"Yan'er, who is he? How dare he be presumptuous in the Tianxia Academy?" Bai Xiugu hit to no avail, but he was not in a hurry to make a move, but turned around and asked Nangong Yan.
"This Du Gongzi is a real disciple of Zixiao of Taixuan Qing Void Palace, and he met us when he was in the Jade Pass last year!" Nangong Yan secretly smiled bitterly, her purpose in inviting Du Chongxiao to the academy was to find an opportunity to give the other party a dismissal, so as to save the other party from thinking that there was no one in the academy in the world. But he didn't expect that now he would move a stone to hit himself in the foot, and once again disgrace the academy.
Taixuanqing Void Palace, Xuanxiao Zhenren, Bai Xiugu, Lu Xiangyuan and the others were slightly startled. No wonder this black-clothed young man has the strength to cross the border and win, it turns out that he is a disciple of Xuanxiao Zhenren! Xuanxiao Zhenren has been in retreat again only one year after he left the customs the year before last, and all the sects and factions think that after a lapse of five hundred years, there will be flying immortals born in the Taixuanqing Void Palace!
"Since it is under the gate of the Taixuan Qingxu Palace, then it is even more important to know the etiquette, so brave and ruthless, and not forgiving, how can it be done by a gentleman?" Bai Xiugu's eyes flashed, and he asked in a cold voice.
After all, the Taixuan Qingxu Palace is the first gate in the world, even if the academy is not afraid, but before the matter is clear, it must still be cautious.
"Dare to ask the seniors' surnames?" Du Chongxiao looked at Bai Xiugu and asked rhetorically. He had already seen that the six of them were all important figures in the academy, and this old man, who at least possessed the realm of true imagery, should have the highest status among the six.
"This is Mr. Xi Bai Xiu, the head teacher of the Wenhua Academy of the Academy!" Nangong Yan hurriedly said.
"It turned out to be the white senior, and the younger generation was disrespectful!" Du Chongxiao actually took back the stick and waved it at Bai Xiugu, saluting very respectfully.
Bai Xiugu, Lu Xiangyuan, Nangong Yan and the Dongfang sisters were all surprised by Du Chongxiao's move. In the face of Bai Xiugu's attack just now, Du Chongxiao would rather choose to take it with all his might and insist on not letting go of Qi Haoran, but now he suddenly changed his attitude after knowing Bai Xiugu's identity. Why?
As soon as Du Chongxiao's stick was loosened, Qi Haoran's body shook twice and slowly lay down on the ground, but he fainted in a hurry because of the two humiliations.
"Have you heard of the old man?" Bai Xiugu asked with a frown. Without his orders, his own disciples stepped forward to help Qi Haoran down.
"The younger generation once heard the master talk about that the white seniors were born with talents, full of wealth, and even the three yuan when they were young, and they were famous all over the world. Later, he was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, but he resigned and did not do it, and entered the Tianxia Academy to teach and educate people, and for dozens of years of hard work, he cultivated countless talents for the eastern soil. Du Chongxiao's face was serious and respectful, and he said: "'The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax worm turns into gray tears and begins to dry', although the predecessors of the academy are not famous, but their words and deeds have benefited thousands of generations, so virtuous, how dare the younger generations be disrespectful!?"
These words were scratching the itch of Bai Xiugu and Lu Xiuyuan. The six of them are all talented and rich people, who do not seek high-ranking officials, do not love glory and wealth, and enter the world academy to become a teacher, it is with the ambition of teaching and educating people and helping the world!
If someone else said something flattering, the six of them would definitely scoff at it, and even angrily reprimand the 'clever man'. But from the first gate of the day, the mouth of Xuanxiao's real disciple, the result was different!
With Du Chongxiao's performance, it is enough to prove that the other party is not afraid of the world academy at all. At least after the six of them appeared, Du Chongxiao still maintained a tough attitude! Therefore, there was no need for the other party to pat their ass, and the authenticity of what he said was very high!
In particular, I heard that even Xuanxiao Zhenren, who is about to fly to the immortals, appreciates their virtues, and the sentence 'The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax worm turns into ashes and tears begin to dry' is sincere, which vividly depicts the great character of teaching and educating people in the academy, and it is by no means Du Chongxiao's nonsense!
Bai Xiugu and the others only felt that there was an indescribable comfort in their body and mind from the inside out, and most of the anger in their hearts had disappeared in an instant, and then they saw that this young man in black seemed to be a humble gentleman, and couldn't help but secretly think, this young man is not like a strong person, and his behavior should be done for a reason!
"Teaching and educating people is our job, although it is hard, but it is also sweet. I don't deserve such praise from the teacher!" Mr. Bai's expression eased unconsciously, and he said gently: "You still have to give an explanation to all the people in the academy!"
Du Chongxiao briefly recounted the incident, which did not deliberately exaggerate his derogatory aspects of the academy, but portrayed the despicable deeds of Qi Haoran and Qin Lie in three points. The accuracy of his words and the sufficism of reason made all the onlookers speechless.
"Yan'er, Lingyu, Mingyu. What Du Gongzi said is the truth?" Bai Xiugu turned his gaze to Nangong Yan and the Dongfang sisters, and asked lightly.
"That's true!" Nangong Yan and Sister Dongfang replied helplessly. Nangong Yan had already expected that the scene of Lin Xiangrong's punishment in the Jade Pass General's Mansion that day would also be repeated.
"My world academy is established by sages, no matter how you teach your disciples, what you learn is the learning of sages, what you cultivate is the virtue of sages, and what you cultivate is the righteousness of sages! Every word and deed must be conscientious, worthy of heaven!" Bai Xiugu's eyes flashed, he looked at the disciples of the academy around him, and shouted: "Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, gentleness, courtesy, frugality, can you remember?"
"Disciple dare not forget!" replied in unison from the surrounding academy disciples.
"Qi Haoran and Qin Lie bullied the same family, behaved immorally, each took thirty sticks, and were imprisoned in the temple for three months as a punishment!" Thirty sticks and three months of heavy punishment is already a serious punishment, and disposing of Qin Lie together shows that the discharge rules are strict, and there is no favoritism and selfishness because of identity!
With a move of Du Chongxiao's right hand, the rope tied to Qin Lie's body was immediately released, and it was included in Du Chongxiao's sleeve like a spirit snake.
Bai Xiugu and Lu Xiangyuan couldn't help but be moved, such a strange treasure would appear in the hands of a young man who only had a clear understanding of the art realm. It can be seen that the treasure of Taixuan Qingxu Palace is indeed the best in the world, and Du Chongxiao should also be valued by the teacher in the Qingxu Palace!
"Du Gongzi, no matter what the reason is, your actions just now are indeed not very appropriate, you must know that this is the World Academy, even if these two people are at fault, they have their own rules to deal with it! Now should you wait for me to give an explanation?" Although Du Chongxiao's words made several people happy, Bai Xiugu would not abolish his public affairs for personal reasons. Just try to make the tone and diction as gentle and tactful as possible.
"When I was in the Yushiguan General's Mansion, thanks to the help of the seniors in the East to heal serious injuries, the younger generations have always been grateful. Now I see that the Bai seniors are as fair and selfless as the Dongfang predecessors, which makes the younger generations admire them even more!" Du Chongxiao shook again, and said with a sincere expression: "But with the punishment of the Bai seniors, the juniors will definitely accept it!"
Witnessing such a situation, Nangong Yan, Dongfang Lingyu, and Dongfang Mingyu sisters knew that Du Chongxiao had won another game this time.
If Du Chongxiao continues to be strong, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not anger a few teachers, even if he is a disciple of Xuanxiao Zhenren of the Taixuan Qing Void Palace, it is impossible to be unscrupulous in the Tianxia Academy. No matter how powerful Du Chongxiao is, he can't withstand Bai Xiugu and others' three moves and two styles, and then he will suffer a loss!
And right now, this possibility will not happen! On the contrary, because of Du Chongxiao's pretentious posture, to a certain extent, it has also given a lot of face to the Tianxia Academy, and the so-called 'confession of Yunyun' must be over!
In the eyes of the three women, Du Chongxiao is well-founded, relaxed and reasonable, and he is by no means a reckless person who is reckless with only a momentary blood bravery, he can be called wise and brave! Even if he is the one whose face is swept away, they have to secretly admire!
Seeing Du Chongxiao's answer like this, Bai Xiugu couldn't help but nod slowly, and glanced at the other teachers, all of whom looked satisfied. Du Chongxiao is so well-informed and reasonable, showing the demeanor of a famous disciple, if they insist on holding him accountable, it will seem that the world's academy is narrow-minded and will be punished!
"Since that's the case, then I'll bother Du Gongzi to stay in the academy for a little longer!" Bai Xiugu finally made a decision.
On the surface, Du Chongxiao seems to be under house arrest, but in fact, Bai Xiugu did not say how long Du Chongxiao 'stayed longer'. So this is just a compromise 'punishment' that is acceptable to both sides!
"Juniors obey orders!" Du Chongxiao bowed his head and said.
"It's all gone!" Mr. Bai flicked his sleeves and left with Lu Xiangyuan and the others.
Nangong Yan glanced at Du Chongxiao with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Du Gongzi, please!"
Du Chongxiao smiled slightly, put away the Wukong stick, and turned his head to call Qin Zheng to follow. saw that Qin Zheng had walked in front of a beautiful girl.
"Zhou Mengzhu, do you like me or don't like me?" Qin Zheng looked like an adult, stared straight into the girl's eyes, and asked.
The girl was astonished, and then her face flushed with shame, and she stood there helpless.
"Qin Zheng, how dare you be so rude?" the young man in green shirt next to him jumped out and shouted. He said to the girl again: "Mengzhu, don't pay attention to him!"
"Like it or not?" Qin Zheng ignored the young man, still very stubbornly asked.
"Qin Zheng, I, already have someone I like!" Zhou Mengzhu didn't dare to look directly into Qin Zheng's eyes, only looked at his toes, and replied with a mosquito voice.
"I know!" Qin Zheng's expression was very calm, and he turned around and strode away.
That night, in an elegant courtyard of Wenhua Courtyard, Du Chongxiao and Qin Zheng sat side by side in front of the pavilion. It was the Qingming Festival, and there was just a light rain in the evening, and the air was fresh and slightly humid.
"Master, sometimes I feel that I am the most pitiful person in the world! My mother is gone, my father doesn't like me, the so-called brothers and sisters look down on me, and the people I like like others again!" Qin Zheng looked depressed at this moment, and the strength he pretended to be during the day had long since disappeared.
poured out a bowl of wine from Du Chongxiao's wine jar, and drank it with his head raised in the same way as Du Chongxiao, but his face was red and he coughed incessantly.
Du Chongxiao gently patted the young man's back, and after the other party's cough subsided, Fang shook his head and said: "Let me ask you, some people have died since they were young, and they have no relatives and no reason, are they pitiful? Some people are blind or dumb, stupid or disabled, are they not pitiful? and soon after they were born, they died due to natural disasters**, and it is impossible to even experience the warmth and coldness of this world, are they not pitiful? Think about it again, who is the most pitiful between them and you?"
Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, thinking carefully, but he felt that he didn't seem to be as pitiful as he said! After being silent for a long time, he said: "Master, I am not willing to go on like this, but I can't do anything, can you teach me what to do?"
Looking at Qin Zheng's confused gaze, Du Chongxiao sighed secretly, only twelve years old, but his mind was so heavy, it could be seen that he usually didn't know how many grievances he had suffered! Qin Zheng, you have to remember that all people in this world can despise you, laugh at you, and reject you, but you can't give up on yourself, you can use facts to prove their stupidity, and when you stand on the peak one day and look back, you will find that those who have despised you, ridiculed you, and rejected you are just an insignificant speck of dust in your life. You won't be swayed by their attitudes anymore, you have a bigger picture in front of you!
Qin Zheng pondered for a long time, Fang nodded slowly, and said in an extremely grateful tone: "Master, I understand!"
No one had ever encouraged him like this, except for the master in front of him. Although he was not a few years older, he was as wise as an elder, and his words were thought-provoking and made his heart suddenly brighten.
"I'll salute the master!" Qin Zheng raised the bowl and took another big sip. He was a young and light drinker, and after only two bowls, his alcohol began to rise, and his mind began to be dizzy.
"There is no wine without poetry and wine is not fragrant, wait for me to chant a song!" Learning the tone of an adult, Qin Zheng staggered to the court, pointed to the bright moon in the sky, and said loudly: "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes three people!" After thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate, and changed it to: "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, there are four people in the shadow!"
Only then was he satisfied, and turned his head to Du Chongxiao and said, "The master is also coming to the last song!"
"I'm not good at this!" Du Chongxiao raised his head and drank a bowl of wine, and said with a smile.
"I don't care, the master will definitely come to a song!" Qin Zheng's eyes began to wander, but he still refused to let go of Du Chongxiao, in his mind, the master was a civil and military all-rounder, not to mention recitation, even if it was to make a poem, it was not difficult.
"Okay!" Du Chongxiao remembered a poem about wine, so he opened his mouth and said: "If the sky doesn't love wine, the wine star is not in the sky." If the earth does not love wine, there shall be no fountain of wine on the earth. Heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of heaven. I have heard that it is more than a saint, and it is as virtuous as a sage. Since the sages have already drunk, why bother to ask the gods. Three cups lead to the avenue, and one bucket is natural. But if you have fun in wine, don't pass it on to the awake. ”
"What a three-cup avenue, a bucket is natural!" a vigorous voice came, and then a light breeze blew, and there were already two more people in the courtyard.
Through the light of the bright moon, it can be clearly seen that one of the people who came was Xi Bai Xiugu, the chief teacher of Wenhua Academy. The other figure is delicate, with a light veil on his face, and the evening breeze is light, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers.
"I've seen Senior Bai!" Du Chongxiao hurriedly bowed down. What he said during the day that the master talked about Yunyun was actually from the mouth of the shopkeeper of Yunlai Inn, but his respect for this old man was not pretending. Indifferent to fame and fortune, not in love with wealth and nobility, and teaching and educating people for nearly 40 years, such an elder is enough to win everyone's respect!
"Don't talk about it, hurry up and serve the wine!" Bai Xiugu didn't pay attention to red tape, and directly asked for wine. When he saw the wine jar that Du Chongxiao was holding, a trace of strange color flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Du Gongzi's wine jar is also a rare thing. I have heard that there are countless treasures in the Taixuanqing Void Palace, and now I can know that this is true only from Du Gongzi!"
"The seniors call me Chongxiao!" Seeing that the veiled woman had already prepared two jade bowls, Du Chongxiao stepped forward to add wine, and said with a smile: "This wine jar is a gift from a friend, and it is filled with turbid wine, lest it disagree with the wishes of the seniors!"
"Wine is good wine, you will know it when you smell it!" Bai Xiugu drank it all.
The woman lifted the tulle and took a sip.
"I forgot to introduce you to you, this is the old man's little granddaughter Yuxin!" Bai Xiugu pointed to the woman behind him and introduced each other: "This is Du Chongxiao, the master disciple of Xuanxiao Zhenren!"
"I've seen Du Gongzi!" The veiled woman greeted the ceremony, her voice was as crisp as a yellow bird, and it was extraordinarily beautiful. After a pause, he asked, "Shu Yuxin is presumptuous, the poem just now was made by Gongzi?"
Du Chongxiao was slightly stunned, he just heard Qin Zheng chanting 'raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow becomes a trio', so he thought that all four songs came out under the moon, and listening to the meaning of this woman's words, it seemed that the first song he chanted had never been heard.
His mind raced, and he continued to maintain an unexpected look and replied, "For poetry, I don't know anything about it." This poem is the master of the moonlit night alone, leaning on the stone into a dream, by the Qinglian immortal dream obtained. ”
"No wonder, there is such a fairy aura!" Bai Yuxin nodded slowly.
Du Chongxiao secretly smiled, it turned out that the other party also knew that the poem was not something that a layman like him could make. Even if he was cheeky and pretended, he laughed generously.
The so-called poetry is like its people, without such fairy bones, without such talent, how can it make such dusty and fairy poems?
True Dragon City.
In the dormitory, on the white jade dragon bed. Emperor Qin, who had a sickly face, slowly opened his eyes and called out in an extremely weak voice: "Someone!"
The old chamberlain appeared at the head of the bed and said happily: "Holy Lord, you have finally woken up!"
"Transmission, decree, announcement, Qin Zheng, Du Chongxiao enters the palace!" Emperor Qin said with difficulty.
