In the room at the entrance of Qingxia Island Mountain, there are maps of the Shujian Lake Islands and nearby cities and counties, the household registration files of the Incense Room, the genealogy of the ancestral halls of the major islands, plus nearly 200,000 words of excerpted manuscripts. After sorting them into categories, most of them have been put into cabinet drawers, just like the medicine drawers in Yang's shop and Dusty Drug Store, but there are still piles of books on the desk.
There is a desk, a row of cabinets against the wall, a dining table, and a chair, two benches and a small stool, that's all.
Later, because Gu Can often visited the house, from the end of autumn to the beginning of winter, he liked to sit at the door of the house for a long time, either taking a nap in the sun or chatting with the little loach. Chen Pingan was visiting a purple bamboo house. When I was on the island, I asked the bookish island owner for three poles of purple bamboo, two large and one small. The former chopped and made two small bamboo chairs, and the latter burned and polished into a fishing rod. I just made a fishing rod and was in Shujian Lake, but I never had a chance to fish.
Tonight Chen Pingan opened the food box and ate a midnight snack silently at the dinner table.
Chen Pingan is still waiting for a reply from Tongyezhou Taipingshan.
Even if Wei Bo has given all the answers, it is not that Chen Pingan does not believe in this old god of the Shenshui Kingdom who is shrouded in clouds and mist, but what Chen Pingan needs to do next, no matter what It is never too much to seek perfection and truth.
It’s just a cross-continental flying sword message. It’s possible for a cow to enter the sea. In addition, Shujian Lake is a place of right and wrong, and the flying sword message came from Qingxia Island, which is the target of public criticism. Therefore, Chen Ping’an He had already prepared for the worst, but if it didn't work out, he asked Wei Bo to do him a favor and write a letter on his behalf from Piyun Mountain to Zhong Kui of Taiping Mountain.
If it were Chen Pingan who was traveling around the world for the first time, maybe even with these connections, he would just go around alone and not bother others, which would make him feel unhappy, but it is different now.
Chen Ping'an doesn't want to live like the kind of loner that the old Taoist in Donghai Temple said. It's not terrible to owe some favors. If you borrow something, you can repay it. In the future, if your friends encounter difficulties, you can speak more easily. As long as you don't take advantage of it, that's all.
Chen Pingan finished his late-night snack, packed his food box, opened a newspaper in his hand, and started browsing.
The above has written some interesting anecdotes about Shujian Lake nowadays, which are similar in nature to the official reports sent to the government offices by the feudal officials of the secular dynasty. In fact, during the trip, I was in Qingluan At the Guobaihuayuan Inn, Chen Pingan had experienced the wonders of this kind of fairy residence. After staying in Shujian Lake for a long time, Chen Ping'an followed the local customs and asked Gu Can to help him get a copy of the Xianjia residence newspaper. Whenever there was a freshly released residence newspaper, he would have it delivered to the house.
There are interesting things happening on Gongliu Island almost every day. If something happens on one day, it will be spread all over Shujian Lake the next day.
This is thanks to a place called Catkin Island. The monks there, from the island owner to the outer disciples and even the handymen, do not practice on the island. They wander outside all day long and make money. To make a living, one relies on what one sees and hears in various situations, plus aHe uses this method to sell gossip. He also sends a letter from time to time to the wealthy families on half of the Shujian Lake islands and the four lakeside cities of Chishui, Yunlou, and Lutongjinzun. There are few things to do. , Di Bao may be the size of a piece of tofu, and the price is also low. The minimum price is guaranteed, and one piece of snow costs money. If there are many things, Di Bao is as big as a map, and it often costs more than a dozen snow pieces.
The latest newspaper mainly writes about the current situation of Gongyanagi Island. It also introduces the outstanding features of some newly emerging islands, as well as the latest news of some older islands, such as the patriarch of Biqiao Island. When he went on a trip, he brought back an incredible young Taoist genius who was born with a Taoist resonance for talismans. Another example is that among the female nuns at Waterfall Nunnery on Lamei Island, a girl who was originally unknown suddenly started to bloom in the past two years. Lamei Island specially opened up a way of making money for her. I never thought that in the first month, I would see this girl. There are many high-rollers on the charming mountain, and they drop a lot of fairy money, causing the aura of Lamei Island to increase by as much as 10%. There is also Yunxiu Island, which has been silent for hundreds of years and whose "family fortune is in decline". A monk who was born as a handyman and has never been favored by others unexpectedly became the new Shujian Lake Golden Pill Immortal after Qingxia Shimada Lake Lord, so he even went there Yunxiu Island and Gongliu Island are not qualified to participate in the alliance. In the past two days, they have been clamoring to arrange a seat for them. Otherwise, no matter who the king of the rivers and lakes falls into, as long as Yunxiu Island is absent, it will be unfair. Shun.
Chen Pingan looked at these wonderful "other people's affairs" and found them quite interesting. After reading them once, he couldn't help but watch them again.
In this newspaper, for the young monk from Lamei Island, the monk from Liuxu Island specially left a palm-sized place for her, using a stele rubbing technique similar to that used by Dajioshan Ferry, plus Chen Ping'an's depiction of the scenery on the Osmanthus Island ferry was painted by a monk. In the newspaper, the girl's face was lifelike. It was a profile standing under the plum blossom tree in Waterfall Monastery. Chen Ping'an took a few glances and found that she was indeed a girl with a charming temperament. I just don't know if there is a secret technique of "changing skin and removing bones" of the immortal family to change the face. If Zhu Lian and the old man surnamed Xun were here, they would probably be able to see through it at a glance.
Chen Pingan reported to buy the residence relatively late. When he was looking at the strange people, strange things, customs and customs on many islands, he didn't know that before Furong Mountain suffered the tragedy of annihilating his family, everything about his Qingxia Island The news from Mr. Accountant was the biggest source of wealth for Catkin Island in the past few days.
Of course I didn’t dare to write too much about Catkin Island, and it was more of a compliment. Otherwise, I would have to worry about Gu Can taking that big loach and smashing Catkin Island to pieces with a few slaps. Historically, the monks of Liuxu Island have suffered great losses. In the five hundred years since the founding of the Patriarch Hall, they have moved three times. The worst time during this period was that they were severely damaged and had no financial resources, so they had to settle with An island leases a small area of land.
Three times he was "convicted for his words". One was in the early days of Catkin Island, when the monk wrote without knowing the importance of his writing. A letter from his residence offended the illegitimate son of the king of the world at that time. The second time was three hundred years ago, when the owner of Gongliu Island offended the old god and his disciple, the female cultivator.He was full of jealousy, even if they were all good words, and the words he wrote were full of envy for the master and apprentice to become a couple of gods, but they still attracted Liu Laocheng to visit the island, but he did not kill anyone, but I was so frightened that Catkin Island changed islands the next day as an apology.
The third time, it was Liu Zhimao who accidentally changed Liu Zhimao’s Taoist name, Zhenjun Jiejiang, to Tianjun Jiejiang in his residence newspaper, making Liu Zhimao the laughing stock of the entire Shujian Lake overnight.
Liu Zhimao attacked Liuxu Island and directly demolished the opponent's ancestral hall. This was the most painful time for Liuxu Island. It was not until he settled the accounts with the stunned Liuxu Island monk Qiuhou that he discovered that The guy who wrote the newspaper actually ran away. It turned out that that guy was one of the many unjust ghosts under the command of a great monk on Catkin Island. He had been dormant on Catkin Island for twenty years, and with just one word, he brought misfortune to the entire Catkin Island. Although the Guanhai Realm monk who was responsible for inspecting the text of the newspaper was indeed negligent in his duties, he could not be regarded as the culprit. He was still taken out as the scapegoat.
Chen Ping'an heard a rare knock on the door and heard the sparse and familiar footsteps from before. It should be Hongsu, the concierge of Zhu Xian Mansion.
Hurry up and open the door. Hongsu, an "old woman" with black hair, declined Chen Pingan's invitation to enter the house. He hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "Mr. Chen, you really can't write about my master." The story with Master Liu of Zhuchai Island?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Okay, next time I go to your house, I will listen to Ma Yuanzhi's old story."< /p>
Although Hongsu’s face is old and crisscrossed with ravines, and for some reason, she has a strong sinister aura, which only condenses and entrenches on her face, making her so ugly, but in fact, if she absorbs Fairy Qian's aura and beauty were not bad, and she had a pair of pretty eyes. Now she blinked her eyes, plucked up her courage, and asked softly: "Mr. Chen refused my master on purpose, right?" Because he guessed that my master would ask the slave to come to the master again so that he can give such a big credit to the slave, right?"
Chen Pingan put a finger to his mouth, signaling to her that God knows and the earth knows you. If you know what I know, that’s all.
Under the moonlight, the woman smiled sweetly in the bright moonlight.
Hongsu looked at the thin young man in front of him, picked up a pot of wine in his hand, sealed with yellow paper, and wrapped with a red rope. He smiled softly: "It's not a valuable thing, it's called Huang." Tengjiu is brewed from glutinous rice and japonica rice. It is the official wine in my hometown and is most popular among women. It is also nicknamed as table wine. I talked a lot with Mr. Chen last time and forgot about this, so I invited someone. I bought some and just delivered them to the island. If sir gets used to drinking, I will move them over later and give them to him."
She suddenly realized that her words were inappropriate and said quickly: "Slave just now. She said that the woman likes to drink, but in fact the men in her hometown also like to drink."
Chen Pingan took the pot of wine, smiled and nodded: "Okay, if you are used to drinking, go to Zhu. Xianfu wants it from you."
After Hongsu left.
Not only did Chen Ping'an not drink, he also put the pot of wine into something nearby and did not dare to drink it.
It’s not that I can’t trust Hongsu, but I can’t trust Qingxia Island and Shujian Lake. Even if this pot
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There is no problem with the wine. Once you ask for other wines, you don’t know which pot of wine will have problems, so in the end, Chen Ping'an could only tell her to the concierge of Zhu Xian Mansion that the wine tasted too soft and was not suitable for him. In this regard, Chen Ping'an didn't feel that he was somewhat similar to Gu Can.
For that eventuality, Gu Can would kill ten thousand people without hesitation.
Chen Pingan was also afraid of the eventuality, so he could only put Hongsu's kindness on hold and seal it away.
It's just that the two seem similar, but in the end they are a similar "one", and they are very different.
As long as Gu Can still sticks to his side, the tug-of-war between Chen Ping'an and Gu Can's psyche is destined to be unable to win Gu Can to his side.
Chen Pingan has also given up temporarily.
Even the most fundamental way of thinking about the world between two people is different. No matter how you say it, it will be useless.
So Gu Can has never seen the time that Chen Ping'an spent with the four people in Ouhua Blessed Land Picture Scroll, nor has he seen the undercurrents, murderous intentions, and the final good reunion and breakup, and the final reunion. There will be a reunion.
It may not be suitable for Shu Jian Hu and Gu Can, but after all, Gu Can has missed one possibility.
After gradually becoming familiar with the ups and downs, complex and intertwined context of Shujian Lake, Chen Ping'an believed that if Gu Can put part of his mind on killing people, even if he could learn from Liu Zhimao to win over people's hearts and cultivate With the help of power, Gu Can and his mother can live better and longer in Shujian Lake.
It’s just that Chen Pingan has seen more and thought more now, but he no longer has the heart to talk about these "nonsense".
Don’t say it, but it doesn’t mean you don’t do it.
On the contrary, Chen Pingan needs to do more things.
After all the reasoning, Gu Can still didn’t know what was wrong, so Chen Pingan could only retreat and do the next best thing to stop his mistakes.
As long as he is in Shujian Lake, living at the gate of Qingxia Island Mountain and working as a bookkeeper, he can at least prevent Gu Can from making big mistakes again.
Since Gu Can doesn’t know his mistakes and firmly believes that he is the right one, he will naturally not correct his mistakes. Chen Ping’an responded to the two great favors for a meal and a boxing manual.
Because of the past, I had to destroy my golden literary courage, so that I could stay in Shujian Lake with the lowest "peace of mind". Everything I did next was to make up for Gu Can's mistakes.
This is a very simple sequence.
It’s just not easy to do, especially the first step. How did Chen Ping’an convince himself that the broken golden bile that night and bid farewell to the little man in golden scholar’s shirt was the price that had to be paid.
In life, being reasonable seems to be easy, but it is the most difficult.The difficulty lies in whether to speak those truths that require a price, and with one's inner conscience, after torture and answers, if you still decide to speak, then once you speak, the price paid is often unknown, and you have to bear the pain. , unable to speak to others.
In addition to these two things, Chen Pingan needs to repair his mentality.
If he couldn’t make up for it halfway, he himself would collapse first.
Chen Pingan walked out of the house, and this time he did not forget to blow out the two lights on the desk and the dining table.
After passing the mountain gate of Qingxia Island, we came to the ferry, where Chen Pingan's ferry was tied. Standing by the lake, Chen Pingan was not carrying the sword fairy on his back, and was only wearing a green shirt and long coat.
The world is lonely, there is no one around, the lake seems to be covered with broken silver, and the night wind after winter is slightly cold.
Let Chen Ping'an reach the fifth level in boxing practice, especially after wearing the golden wine robe. Tonight, he finally felt the long-lost warmth and coldness of the human season.
As he traveled further and further, especially after seeing more and more officialdom and mountain scenery, Chen Ping'an began to admire Master Ruan's views on the master-disciple relationship more and more, and his The more he admired Cui Dongshan for teaching him chess and chess.
Ruan Qiong did not recruit disciples just because the master would argue with others one day, and the disciples would make noises and criticize the opponent, or resolutely join the battlefield without asking what is right and wrong.
Ruan Qiong once said, I only accept disciples who are from the same path, not disciples who only know how to work hard for me.
The difficulty in life is that it is difficult to be at peace with your emotions, and even more difficult is that the most important person can also make you unable to calm down.
But this is just a problem for good people.
After all, there are more people who never think about this.
Shidao punched me, why can’t I kick him back? If anyone dares to punch me until my face is covered in blood and makes me feel unhappy, I will definitely beat them to pieces. As for whether innocent people will be hurt or whether they will die unjustly, I don’t even think about it.
This is not right.
Cultivation of strength is the foundation of one's body, and cultivating one's mind is the way to climb high.
On the highway, whether walking straight with a sword in hand or traveling while studying, you always have to give way to others occasionally.
Chen Pingan looked sad and felt that the world was so big that he could only keep these words in his stomach, no one would listen.
Chen Ping'an's mind moved slightly.
Think about it.
Take out a piece of black carbon from something close by.
He drew a big circle on the ferry.
Then he bent down in the circle and slowly drew a straight line, which was equivalent to dividing the circle into two.
Chen Ping'an squatted next to the line, and then he didn't write for a long time, his brows furrowed.
The accounting clerk, who looked depressed, had no choice but to take off the sword gourd from his waist and take a sip of Wuti wine to refresh himself.
On top and bottom of that straight line, good and evil were written respectively.
Chen Ping'an wants to find the "one" that he once stopped in his heart, unwilling to think deeply, and unable to delve into.Literally, take a step tonight.
Just like the boy with straw sandals in Mubo Alley, walking on the covered bridge.
Chen Pingan squatted on the ground, and on that straight line, between the words good and evil, he gently wrote the four words "people-oriented" and murmured: "I can only think of so much for the time being. ”
Chen Pingan closed his eyes and took another sip of wine. After opening his eyes, he stood up and strode to the edge of the semicircle of “good”. In one go, he reached the other part of the semicircle of evil. , drew a diagonal line, moved forward, and drew another diagonal line from bottom to top.
Finally, a circle has been cut into six pieces by Chen Pingan, with only the center of the circle intersecting.
After this, Chen Pingan seemed to suddenly become enlightened. He walked quickly to the semicircle with the word "good" on the straight line, and put pen to paper on the map in the middle of the three areas. Rufei said to himself: "If this is a sincere heart for good, and it is the most steadfast, and the mind is not easy to move, then the people in this place, the Three Teachings, hundreds of schools of thought, even Even if you have never read a book and learned to read, it is the best knowledge to teach you, "The book has its own house of gold, the book has its own thousand bells of millet," and "Cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world." Because you can listen to it without even having to Any sage speaks truth with sincerity, because such people are willing to listen, sit down and listen to the truth, and act on it. No matter how difficult the world is, they will stick to their true intentions. ”
Chen Ping’an is quick! Get up and retreat to the center of the semicircle of evil that is "tit for tat" with the semicircle filled with the word "charcoal".
Kneel down and write with the same charcoal pen, muttering: "Human nature is inherently evil. This evil is not just a derogatory meaning, but it illustrates another nature in the human heart, which is the innate perception of The one in the world, fight and rob, to protect and maximize their own interests. Unlike the former, for life and death, you can rely on the three immortals of Confucianism and the inheritance of descendants of incense. Here, 'I' is the whole world, and I die. Heaven and earth are dead, and heaven and earth are alive when I am born. The individual me, this small one, is no bigger than the whole heaven and earth, and its weight is not the slightest. This is why Zhu Lian originally explained why he was unwilling to kill one person without saving the world. ! It's not a derogatory meaning, it's just pure human nature. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I believe that it has promoted the advancement of the world."
"The mind and nature all blossom and bear fruit here. Only those who can say at certain critical moments, "I will not care about the flood after I die", "I would rather teach me to bear the burden of the world", "the sun is setting and the journey is far away, and I will do the opposite", but there are almost no living things in the world like this. The nature that we all have is very likely to be the foundation of our human beings, at least one of them. This explains why I couldn't understand before that so many "bad" people practice Taoism and become immortals, but they have nothing to do with it. It doesn’t matter, you can even live better than the so-called good people, because the world produces and sustains all things, and there is no partiality, and life and death are not necessarily determined by the good and evil of 'people'."
Took a sip. After drinking.
Chen Pingan stood up and walked to the rightmost side of the semicircle above, "This isThe people's hearts are not as strong-willed as the people on the right, and are more hesitant, but they are still inclined towards good, but they will change due to people, places and times, and there will be various changes. Then we need saints from the three religions and hundreds of schools of thought. , earnestly instructs with the saying that "jade cannot be used without cutting it, and people will not know without learning", warns with "God is watching what people do," and exhorts with the saying that "the bad virtues of this life will be rewarded with blessings in the next life, and the sufferings of this life will bring blessings in the next life." "
Chen Ping'an wrote this and thought again, coming to the two "good and evil" near the center of the circle
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, he slowly added two more sentences with charcoal. Above it, he wrote, "I would like to believe that life is not all about bartering." If there is no real return, then the interests of the one "I" will be compromised. "
Chen Pingan put away the charcoal and murmured: "Once a person senses damage, he will have great doubts and anxiety deep in his heart, and he will start to look around and think. Therefore, we have to ask for it back from elsewhere and ask for more. This explains why Shujian Lake is so chaotic and everyone is struggling. What’s more, as I thought before, why are there so many people who must be somewhere in the world? After being punched, you have to fight and kick in more places in the world, without caring about the life and death of others, not just for the sake of living. Just like Gu Can, even though he has already lived a good life, he will still follow this vein. Becoming a person who can say "I like killing" is not only the result of the environment of Shujian Lake, but also the crisscrossing fields in Gu Can's heart, which are divided by this. When he has the opportunity to come into contact with the larger world, For example, when I gave him the little loach and came to Shujian Lake, Gu Can would naturally grab more of what belonged to others, whether it was money or life. ”
Chen Ping’an came to the far left hand side of the upper semicircle, “People’s hearts here are the most disordered. They want to do good but don’t know how to do it, and they have the intention to do evil but may not dare to do it, so it is easiest to feel that ‘reading books’ Useless', 'the truth misleads me', even though we are in this semicircle, it is still easy to do evil, so there are so many 'sanctimonious hypocrites' in the world. Even the Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures will worry about the end of the Dharma. arrival. People here follow the trend and live a very hard life, even the hardest. As I said to Gu Can before, the good principles in the world and the true freedom of the strong lie in being able to protect this group of people and allow them to Don't worry about the group of people in the middle of the lower semicircle who will suffer many unprovoked disasters due to their unscrupulous behavior. Don't be afraid that all the wealth accumulated through hard work will be destroyed in a day and night. For once, let these people, even if they don't need to be reasonable, even if they don't even need to know too much truth at all, even if their occasional unreasonableness slightly shakes the regular and stable wooden chair built by Confucianism, it will all You can live well. "
Chen Ping'an stood up and moved to the rightmost side of the corresponding lower semicircle, and slowly wrote: "The people of this place, tell them to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. If you know your mistakes, you can change them." There is no great virtue, and it is in the middle of the neighborhoodThat group of people are destined to be just empty talk. '
Although there is still a large blank space in the lower semicircle and on the far left, Chen Ping'an's face is pale and he is showing signs of exhaustion. After taking a big sip of wine, he is swaying Standing up, the charcoal in his hand had been worn down to the size of a fingernail. Chen Pingan calmed down, his fingers trembled and couldn't write anymore. Chen Pingan took a strong breath, raised his arm, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and wanted to squat down and continue. It would be nice to write even one more word, but as soon as I bent down, I sat down on the ground.
Chen Pingan casually placed the sword gourd on the ground with one hand, and loosened his fingers with the other hand. Only the charcoal rolled to the ground, and he lay on his back on the ferry.
“Confucianism advocates compassion, and Buddhism advocates compassion. However, in this world, it is still difficult for us to achieve it, let alone achieve these two statements all the time. On the contrary, Yasheng took the lead. The 'innocent heart' mentioned by Taoist ancestors seems to be more... Staring at the big circle, his eyes finally focused on the two words "good and evil" he first wrote in the center of the circle.
Chen Pingan staggered and stretched out a hand as if to grab the entire circle.
He almost didn’t even know what he was talking about.
At this time, this scene has completely forgotten its shape and body.
"Can we not even talk about good and evil? Just talk about the difference between gods and humans? Nature? Otherwise, it will be difficult for this circle to truly stand."
"This Do you need to... raise it up? Instead of sticking to the principles in the book, and simply expand the circle? ”
“If so, then? I understood that it was not at all like what I had figured out before. It was not that the principles of the world were divided into high and low levels, but by walking around this circle and constantly looking at it. It was not that there was a difference in the left and right of the mind, and it was also not that some people's hearts were different. Wherever there is, there is a difference between superior and inferior, and the difference between cloud and mud. Therefore, what the saints of the three religions have done, the so-called persuasion, is to "move mountains and seas" to the hearts of people in different territories. Go to the area you want."
"If so, don't look at high places or walk around on the ground. Just use the order and take a step back to see, without mentioning the various reasons. The heart only talks about the true nature of the world. Confucianism is expanding and stabilizing the territory of "physical things", while Taoism is lifting up the world so that we humans can be higher than all other living things."
Chen Pingan closed his eyes and took out a bamboo slip. On it was engraved the words of a great scholar, which were full of desolation but still beautiful and moving. At that time, he just thought that the idea was strange but transparent. Now it seems that as long as he digs deeper, it turns out that It contains some true meaning of Taoism, "A basin of water covers the ground, mustard floats on the water, ants cling to the mustard seeds and think they are in a desperate situation. After a while, the water dries up, and then they find that the road is open and there is nowhere to go."
"Taoism What you want,That is to say, we in the world do not want to be those beings with a mind as low as an ant. We must go to a higher place to view the world, and we must be different from the birds, animals, flowers, plants and trees in the world. "
"What about Buddhism..."
Chen Pingan stretched out his hands and drew a circle, "With the breadth of Confucianism and the height of Taoism, the world in the ten directions will be combined. And as one, there is no omission. "
Chen Pingan finally murmured: "That one, do I know a little bit about it? ”
With a bang, the accountant, who had exhausted all his strength and energy, fell back, closed his eyes, his face full of tears, reached out to wipe his face, stretched out a palm, and said slightly He raised his head, his teary eyes were blurry, and he could see through the gaps between his fingers. He was about to fall asleep, and his mind was extremely haggard. But in the deepest part of his heart, he was filled with joy, and he muttered: "Who embellishes the sky when the clouds disperse, and the sea is the color of the sky." This clarification. "
Chen Ping'an closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured softly: "It turns out that instead of distinguishing between good and evil in people's hearts, you can also smile when you think about this. ”
The first time Chen Ping’an was in Shujian Lake, he lay down on the ferry with a big circle drawn in it and didn’t have time to erase a word of charcoal, and slept soundly on Qingxia Island. While sleeping soundly.
I don’t know when.
A man in a green shirt who was still unruly and an increasingly attractive girl with a ponytail arrived almost at the same time. Ferry.
The two of them did not speak a word, and did not even meet their eyes.
The one who did not write a reply at Taipingshan Patriarch Hall came to a foreign land in person. The scholar picked up Chen Ping'an's piece of charcoal and squatted on the far left hand side of the circle. He wanted to write, but he was hesitant. But instead of feeling annoyed, his eyes were full of smiles, "The mountains are ahead, is it possible?" You want me, a former academy gentleman, to have to take a detour? "
And the girl in Tsing Yi stood outside the circle at the end of the straight line, eating new cakes from Lutong City on the shore of Shujian Lake, and said vaguely: "There is still a little difference between a god and a human, I didn't say it. through.
The scholar held the charcoal in his hand, raised his head, looked around, and said: "It's good that you have to be bold when facing all kinds of difficulties. It's good that you have to be bold when you are drunk." ”
The girl in green also said, “If you don’t know a single inch of your mind, everything will be clear to you.”
He then turned to look at the girl in Tsing Yi with a single ponytail who was nibbling on pastries, "Don't take advantage of Chen Ping'an while he is sleeping." But if a girl insists on doing it, I, Zhong Kui, can turn my back. This is what makes a gentleman have the beauty of an adult!
She then looked at him and asked doubtfully: "Your name is Zhong Kui?" You... ghost are rather strange. I can't understand you. "
Zhong Kui reached over his shoulder and pointed at the snoring accountant, "This guy understands me, so I'm here." "
Zhong Kui looked at this Shujian Lake, which in his eyes was completely different from the others in the world, and muttered: "How can I, Zhong Kui, be the only gentleman in this world? How big of a cesspit is this world? ”
Ruan Xiu's face was indifferent, "I know you want to help him, but I advise you not to stay and help him, it will be a disservice."
Zhong Kui asked: "Seriously? "
Ruan Xiu asked: "Do you believe me?"
Zhong Kui nodded.
Ruan Xiu finished eating the pastries, clapped her hands, and left.
Zhong Kui thought for a while, then gently put the charcoal back to its place. After getting up, he wrote in the air. He wrote only eight words on Shujian Lake, and then he followed and returned to Tongye. continent.
Zhong Kui, a scholar who is no longer a gentleman in the academy, came and returned in a hurry.
The eight words he left behind were "Everything is appropriate and there are no taboos."
