Volume Nine Chapter Fifteen: Madman? Sage?
An hour passed quickly. Xiaoqian's surprise became deeper and deeper. She thought she had given the wrong medicine before, so she stabbed Ning Caichen for the second time, but the effect of the hepansan span medicine could only last for half an hour, and it has only stopped now, which fully explained the problem - Ning Caichen took the pain of the hepansan span twice.
"Huh...ha..." Ning Caichen was gasping for a while. His lips were chapped and his eyes were covered with blood. As the effect of the medicine ended, his tense nerves gradually relaxed.
At this time, Xiaoqian's voice came from his ears: "What kind of spell did you just... recite?"
"The spell?" Ning Caichen was puzzled.
"It's just those strange words, what Zi said, "Shi Shi said..." Xiaoqian whispered.
"Oh. That's the words of the saint, not a spell." Ning Caichen thought of getting up, but after he had just been struggling with Pansan, he didn't have much strength. After struggling slightly, he fell back.
At this time, a delicate little hand gently held him and helped him lean against the wooden basin next to him. When he looked up, Xiaoqian nodded slightly at him.
"The words of the saint? Is the words of the saint you are very afraid of?" Xiaoqian thought. What exactly is the words of the saint?
It can make people like him afraid.
"Fear?" Ning Caichen laughed in silence: "Fear the words are inaccurate, but the words are respectful."
"Is there any difference?" Xiaoqian was puzzled.
"Fear comes from fear, just like you are afraid of grandma, because she is cruel, and you have to listen." Ning Caichen explained: "When fear is different, awe comes from recognition, just like the words of a saint, it encourages people to be good, teaches me morality, etiquette and the foundation of being a human being, so I respect it from the bottom of my heart, and thus I dare not blaspheme, this is awe."
"In a few simple words, can you resist the toxicity of dispersion?" Xiaoqian said this question that she couldn't figure out.
"This is nothing." Ning Caichen shook his head, then looked up at the sky with a longing look: "Don't underestimate these words, they contain infinite power, which can change the whole world." Change the world?
This word is very strange to Xiaoqian. In her world, there are only two things: doing things for grandma and practicing qigong. From grandma's words, she knew that there was a big world outside, but she had never seen it before.
"World, world...what is the world like?" she murmured. Ning Caichen said without hesitation: "In addition to the fourteen states of the Great Qin world, there are the wild wolf country outside the northwest, and there are grassland tribes in the northeast, Liaodong in the northwest, Miaojiang in the southwest and Nanzhao in the south, and Baiyue in the south... each has its own scenery, but a few words are difficult to summarize."
"Is the world big?" Xiaoqian's eyes showed yearning. Ning Caichen thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever ridden a horse?" Xiaoqian nodded.
Ning Caichen gestured with a hand: "You rode the fastest horse in the world, set out from here and go in any direction for the first half of a year, but I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the end."
"A few words can be changed in such a big place?" Xiaoqian really didn't believe it. Ning Caichen sighed: "This is exactly the wish of all of us scholars. Those who can do this are saints."
"Saint, saint..." Xiaoqian lowered her head and thought, then she suddenly asked Ning Caichen: "What did the saint say?"
"I said a lot, a lot," Ning Caichen slightly corrected his sitting posture: "From the principles of being a human being, such as integrity, morality, etiquette, and from the governance of the country, it is the so-called governing the country and pacifying the world..."
"What is integrity?"
"Integrity means that people must be honest and abide by trustworthiness. Integrity is a virtue, sincerity is in the heart and in the outside, and the Master said, 'Telling will do what you say, and doing will be fulfilled', which is what you say."
"That morality is again?"
"Tao is the law and direction, virtue is the good quality, and morality is..." Ning Caichen talked endlessly, as if he had returned to the school hall where he had enlightened many children, but this time the only student was Xiaoqian opposite.
Late at night, a underground scholar unknown to the world, was taught the Four Books and Five Classics to a beautiful witch.
No matter how you look at this scene, it's a bit weird and strange. But I said again
"There is no distinction between education." I think he can be extremely relieved when he sees this scene. It's been a long time since then.
"...Mencius said, do you understand this principle of sacrificing one's life to be righteous?" Xiaoqian was really a qualified student. Although she was not well educated, she was eager to learn. Not only did she concentrate on listening to Ning Caichen's discussion on the ways of sages, but she also asked questions from time to time, and often asked questions, which made Ning Caichen very pleased.
When he heard the part "What I Want Fish", Xiaoqian asked: "Sacrifice your life for justice? Is there really such a person in this world?"
"Of course there is." Ning Caichen nodded firmly: "There are those who sacrificed their lives for the righteousness of the world in ancient times. Not to mention our scholars, we are the ones who practice martial arts, Yue Wumu, who is loyal to the country, Guo Daxiao, who guards Xiangyang, and King Xiao who sacrifices his life to fight... They have been there since ancient times, and there will definitely be more in the future."
"But why are they so stupid that they have no life? What is the meaning of the righteousness they have?" Xiaoqian was puzzled.
Ning Caichen shook his head: "No, life is a great dream, and his youth is gone, but in a blink of an eye, a hundred years later, all the dust is returned to the dust. In the face of time, everyone's life is no different." Then, Ning Caichen forced himself to stand up, and his eyes burst into dazzling brilliance.
At this moment, he seemed to be standing with the ancestors. His arm was waving with excitement and shouted: "So, if you can leave blessings for future generations and do something for the people of the world, you will give your life and do whatever you want. This is the meaning of sacrificing your life for righteousness." Xiaoqian shook her head. Although she heard many of Ning Caichen's words, she still couldn't understand this sentence.
"I've been talking for so long, look," Ning Caichen pointed to the hourglass on the table: "It's about to be Mao, it's almost dawn." Mao!
Xiaoqian was shocked - as usual, grandma would send someone to come and get the information about the interrogation last night, and Ning Caichen would be executed immediately.
She turned her head and found Ning Caichen groping in her arms. She asked, "What are you doing?" Ning Caichen took out the "Three Character Classic" from her arms: "Miss Xiaoqian, I have nothing valuable, the only thing that can be taken out is this book of enlightenment." Xiaoqian took the book blankly: "What does it mean?" Ning Caichen said sincerely: "Miss Xiaoqian, let's go with me." Xiaoqian was shocked: "What are you saying?" Ning Caichen said, "I read that right. You are a kind person by nature, and a good material for reading. If you don't give up, I'm willing to continue to be your teacher.
, This is your gift for enlightenment." Xiaoqian looked at Ning Caichen, who was stunned and glanced at the hourglass again. Suddenly anger rose. She smashed the book hard on Ning Caichen's face: "What do you say to teach me how to study in the future? Grandma will take you over soon, and you will die soon, don't you know? Idiot!" Ning Caichen was stunned, then leaned over to pick up the book, smiled, and handed over the book: "It's okay, it's a blessing to have a smart student like you before death." Xiaoqian lowered her head and saw the pinhole in the "Three Character Classic" - it was the trace left by her previous stabbing.
The kung fu of this poisonous needle was passed on to me by the senior sister. The first time I used this kung fu, I was forced by my grandma.
The senior sister was three years older than Luo Wenmei, and was the first person to follow her grandmother. She was very nice to herself. In addition to teaching martial arts, she also took good care of herself on weekdays.
But later, she couldn't stand her grandma's behavior and ran away at night, but she was soon caught back by her grandma. She tied her to all her disciples and forced herself to torture her senior sister with poison needles.
Xiaoqian didn't dare to do it, but after her three fingers were broken by her grandmother, she couldn't stand it and finally stabbed it with a needle.
Xiaoqian will never forget the look of the elder sister at that time - despair, pain, sadness... She will not even forget the fear in her heart when her grandmother forced herself to drink the bowl of soup: "Xiaoqian, come on, smell it quickly, how fragrant is your elder sister? She is so gentle. At this time, I am afraid that you will not be full, so I am almost crying, wuwu...hahahaha..."
"Ah——" Xiaoqian screamed, fear overwhelmed all her reason at this moment. She grabbed Ning Caichen and snatched the door.
When she reached an intersection, she stopped and asked, "Ning Caichen, what are your last words?" Ning Caichen shook her head: "I am just a scholar. I don't ask about the past and do not ask for the next life. Where did the last words come from?" Xiaoqian thought for a while and asked, "Is there anything else I want to say to me?" Ning Caichen nodded: "There are thousands of classics in the book worth talking about, but time may not allow much. Then I will give you a piece of advice." Xiaoqian signaled him to continue.
Ning Caichen lowered his voice: "That devil hates me so much. After I was sent over, she will definitely torture me a lot. She will definitely not care where you went. If you have the chance, you can escape by yourself." Xiaoqian was shocked: "Don't you know what the consequences will be for sending you to grandma?" Ning Caichen smiled slightly: "Open the intestines and cut the stomach, and dig the heart and liver... It sounds like it will never be restored, but in fact it is just a death. If I can exchange for the girl to escape from the devil's cave, my body will be worthy of the will of heaven." His voice was very light, but he hit Xiaoqian hard in his heart.
Xiaoqian finally couldn't help but burst into tears: "Crazy! Ning Caichen, you are a madman!" Ning Caichen scratched his head awkwardly: "Many people..."
