Qi Jingzhi, however, was still unfinished. He changed the subject and asked curiously: "Brother Liu treats me very well, and he is very nurturing. I wonder if in Brother Liu's heart, I am a tree, a flower or a grass?"

Hearing this, Liu Muzhi looked at the young man climbing along the pole and suddenly sneered: "It's nothing more than fertilizer!"

Qi Jingzhi was not annoyed at all. Instead, he had a clear understanding on his face. He nodded repeatedly and said: "This fertile field is indeed of the utmost importance. Brother Liu uses authority as a plow, counties as fields, hearts and bones as seeds, talents as fertilizer, and so on." His mind is very broad.”

This time, the young man even praised himself.

Liu Muzhi was shocked, looked at the young man in disbelief, then turned around and lowered his head, staring at the red flower in the flower bed, and fell into deep thought.

Qi Jingzhi was very close to this young hero and could clearly feel the changes in the other person.

I saw that Liu Muzhi's originally peaceful and pure aura suddenly took on a lively and high-spirited tone, as if a strong wind was stirring up water, causing waves on a calm lake.

The next moment, the remaining flower suddenly withered and turned into a red brilliance that flew up and was immediately swallowed by Liu Mu.

Capturing Yingzuihua is nothing more than this!

Qi Jingzhi heard and saw these wonderful sights of practice, and felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Liu Muzhi came to his senses, turned around and bowed deeply to Qi Jingzhi.

This was also the first time he saluted Qi Jingzhi.

The young man did not dodge or evade, and accepted it calmly, and then sincerely praised: "Brother Liu's realm is very advanced, and my little brother is far behind."

Liu Muzhi waved his hand: "It has been several years since I entered the second realm, but I have been stuck on the step of Dinxia for a long time. I really can't talk about the word realm. Just now, Liu was awakened by Brother Qi's words. Thinking back What I have done in recent years has revealed that I have deviated from my heart."

As he said this, the young meritorious officer showed a determined look on his face: "Fortunately, it's not too late to make up for the situation! From now on, Liu will be transferred to a county official to concentrate on managing local civil affairs."

Qi Jingzhi was startled when he heard the words: "I have little knowledge in the practice of cultivation. I just said a few random words. Brother Liu, don't take it to heart."

Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Actually, my teacher had already advised me to go to the county to settle down for a few years, but I was conceited about my talent. I always felt unwilling to do so, and I couldn't bear to do it, for fear of being ridiculed by my peers."

"After all, in any sect with some basic foundation, the disciples will rush to the Demon Suppressing Academy. Only those who are really not suitable for cultivation will succumb to official careers and become sidelines from then on..."

The young meritorious officer stared at Qi Jingzhi, with gratitude and praise intertwined in his eyes: "Because of this obsession, I have actually gone astray. Now even Brother Qi can see it. If I don't wake up and change my ways, wouldn't it be wrong? Too stupid?"

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help being stunned and speechless, and cursed: "What do you mean, even I can see it? Am I being looked down upon or am I looked down upon?"

At the end, Liu Muzhi did not forget to comfort him: "Brother Qi, don't worry, the elders in my family are the most sensible and reasonable. If I know about this, not only will I not be angry, but I will thank you!"

Qi Jingzhi was even more dumbfounded when he heard this. How could he, a boy from the mountains, know the idea of ​​a high-ranking family? Even if his family members were officials in counties, they would be ridiculed by their peers. This left those who had no chance to practice and had no choice but to study hard in the cold window. How can a scholar who can leave be embarrassed?

"I can see that although Brother Qi grew up in the mountains, he is a man who has adventures and inheritance. Now he is traveling in the mountains and experiencing tribulations in the rivers and lakes, probably to increase his knowledge and hone his practice. If you need anything in the future, just ask me. , As long as Liu is capable, there will be nothing wrong with him!"

Yes! Before the previous misunderstanding was resolved, another one came up in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Liu Muzhi, the son of a noble family, had already patted his chest, Qi Jingzhi was really too lazy to explain anymore and quickly changed the subject: "In my opinion, there seems to be something wrong with practitioners being in power. How can the king and the court allow it?"

"Oh, if you were to ask my colleagues who don't care about worldly affairs and are dedicated to cultivating and eliminating demons, I'm afraid not many of them would be able to answer it. I happen to know a little bit about it."

Liu Muzhi had obviously paid attention to this matter a long time ago, and said with a clear smile: "What you said is wrong, do you think that practitioners, regardless of family background, ability and even life span, are beyond ordinary people, which is unfair to ordinary officials, and even threatens the royal power? "

Seeing that the other party spoke frankly, Qi Jingzhi no longer held back, and nodded and admitted: "In my opinion, the imperial court's institutional rules can restrict ordinary officials and common people, but I am afraid that they will be greatly compromised when it comes to monks."

"That's all. If a monk lives a long life and stays in one position for many years, no matter his superiors, colleagues, subordinates or even the people under his rule are his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, then where will the royal power be placed? ?Once chaos breaks out, the people will suffer!"

After Liu Muzhi heard this, he burst out laughing: "The Empress of the East Palace bakes big cakes, and the Empress of the West Palace peels green onions! You, you, you are already half-footed on the path of spiritual practice, why are you still thinking like the villagers in the mountains? ?”

"The high-ranking officials and generous salaries that ordinary people flock to are just real hardships in the eyes of monks. How can they compare with the joy of spiritual practice? Only fools will waste time in worldly positions of power!"

"Even if my career is consistent with local government affairs, I will only dabble in the official career. At a certain stage, I must resign and escape from the world. Otherwise, wallowing in the world of mortals for many years and working hard all day long will only be harmful to the career. , when the realm is reversed and life span is reduced sharply, it is really not worth the loss."

"Each family has poor qualifications, fails in cultivation, and turns to pursue worldly power. Although there are many children who are happy in the world of mortals, how much better than ordinary people can such people be? The King of the Kingdom has given orders, and those who should move will move. How can there be any threat to Zhishi?"

"As for the fairness you mentioned, it is indeed unfair, but have you ever thought about why ordinary people in Daqi still have the opportunity to advance when the royal family and high-profile families are so dominant?"

Qi Jingzhi listened very seriously and couldn't help but frown when he heard the words. He had only known about the practice for a few days, and he really hadn't thought about it in depth.

"Yes, since there are cultivators in this world, people with awakened bloodlines, and their cultivation is mostly controlled by the royal family and famous families. There are many disciples of these aristocratic families, and not all of them have the qualifications to practice. They can be arranged directly Why should we give ordinary people a chance when it's too late for our own people? If that happens, there's no need to worry about fairness or unfairness..."

Seeing that the young man was thoughtful, Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Always leaving a way for the bottom to rise, this is the greatest and most fundamental fairness. Maintaining this kind of fairness is the legacy of the Holy King, the ancestral system of Da Qi, and the system of Da Qi." The consensus of most high-ranking families!”

"Actually, there are no real ordinary people in this world, only declining aristocratic families! Even if they are the descendants of Saint Ginger, the royal bloodline has been passed down from generation to generation, most of them have long since declined and disappeared from the public. Aren't you the same? Is Jiang’s surname Qi?”

Qi Jingzhi nodded immediately. He had expressed similar thoughts to the old city god, which coincided with Liu Muzhi.

Seeing him nodding, Liu Muzhi laughed: "The family has declined, but the bloodline still exists, and there is natural power. There is no guarantee that after a few generations, some unique talents will suddenly appear. What should we do then? Because it is

Are the common people suppressing and suppressing a poor family in every possible way? Or are they pretending not to see it and allowing these outstanding people who are oppressed by aristocratic families to make trouble in the world?"

"Hey, if you don't give me a chance, won't others snatch it? This has been learned through blood and tears. In this case, it's better to set rules that everyone agrees with. Even if some people don't want to abide by it, the royal family and most aristocratic families don't

It will force them to comply.”

"In addition, there is actually a bigger reason..."

After saying that, Liu Muzhi suddenly pointed to his feet and smiled meaningfully.
Chapter completed!
