Chapter 73 Wisdom and bravery
The five people who followed Bai Xiugu were all surprised. They did not expect that Master Bai would fail to do anything? Although this sleeve only used no more than three layers of true energy, the purpose was to force the other party to retreat and escape Qi Haoran's siege, the boy in black only took the opportunity to understand the realm of the art of enlightenment, and could even continue to control Qi Haoran!
Several of them were discussing the matter. When they heard Nangong Yanqing Lingzhong's message, they thought something big had happened. When they arrived, they discovered that Qi Haoran, a disciple of the Tianxia Academy, who was the third place in the Dongming Realm exam last year, had reached the peak of the cultivation realm, was kneeled on the ground with a stick by a boy in black who only had Dongming Art Realm. He really lost all the face of the Academy!
What is even more embarrassing is that this extremely embarrassing thing happened in the academy, with many academy disciples watching over the public.
"Yan'er, who is he? Why dare to be arrogant in the Tianxia Academy?" Bai Xiugu failed in one blow, but instead did not rush to take action, but turned around and asked Nangong Yan.
"This young master Du is a disciple of Zixiao, a real person in Taixuan Qingxu Palace. He met us at the Jade Stone Pass last year!" Nangong Yan smiled bitterly. The purpose of her invitation to Du Chongxiao to the academy was to find an opportunity to give the other party a warning so that the other party could think that there was no one in the academy in the world. However, he did not expect that he would shoot himself in the foot, which once again ruined the face of the academy.
Taixuan Qingxu Palace? Under the Sect of the True Man Xuanxiao! Bai Xiugu, Lu Xiangyuan and others were slightly surprised. No wonder this young man in black had the ability to cross the border and win. It turned out to be under the Sect of the True Man Xuanxiao! Since the True Man Xuanxiao came out of seclusion the next year, he went into seclusion again after only a year. The world caused a sensation in the world. All sects and sects believed that the Feixian would be born in Taixuan Qingxu Palace after five hundred years!
"Since he is under the Taixuan Qingxu Palace, he should know his integrity and respect. He is so brave and cruel, and he is not willing to let go. Is it a gentleman who does it?" Bai Xiugu's eyes appeared and he asked in a cold voice.
After all, Taixuan Qingxu Palace is the best sect in the world. Even if the academy is not afraid, it must still be cautious before things are clear.
"Dare you ask me about my name?" Du Chongxiao looked at Bai Xiugu and asked back. He had already seen that the six people were all important figures in the academy, and this old man who had at least the realm of true phenomena should have the highest status among these six people.
"This is Mr. Bai Xiugu, the head teacher of the Wenhua Academy of the Academy!" Nangong Yan said hurriedly.
"It turns out to be Senior Bai, I'm disrespectful!" Du Chongxiao actually took back the stick, bowed to Bai Xiugu, and greeted him very respectfully.
Alas? Bai Xiugu, Lu Xiangyuan, Nangong Yan and the Dongfang sisters were all surprised by Du Chongxiao's move. Facing Bai Xiugu's attack just now, Du Chongxiao would rather choose to take it with all his might and insist on letting go of Qi Haoran. Now, after knowing Bai Xiugu's identity, he suddenly changed his attitude. He was arrogant at first but respectful at the end. Why?
Du Chongxiao loosened his stick, but Qi Haoran shook his body twice and slowly fell to the ground. He was so angry that he fainted because of the two humiliations.
"Have you heard of me?" Bai Xiugu asked with a frown. Without his instructions, his disciples stepped forward and helped Qi Haoran down.
"I heard from my master that Senior Bai was born with talent and knowledgeable knowledge. When he was young, he won three consecutive years of success and was a slogan. Later, he became a great scholar in the Hanlin Academy, but resigned from office and refused to be a job. He went to the Tianxia Academy to teach and educate people. After decades of hard work, he cultivated countless talents for the Dongdi." Du Chongxiao looked serious and respectful, and said, "'The silkworms will not be able to die until the silk is gone, and the wax flies will not be able to dry until the ashes are gone.' Although the predecessors of the academy are not famous, their words and deeds will benefit all generations. How dare I disrespect such virtues? "
These words were just a slight touching the itch between Bai Xiugu and Lu Xiuyuan and others. All six of them were talented and knowledgeable people. They did not seek high-ranking officials, nor did they love wealth and glory. They entered the Tianxia Academy to become teachers, which was the ambition to teach and educate people and help the world!
If someone else said something flattering, the six of them would definitely sneer at it and even angrily scolded the "spoken people who say cleverly" and said it from the first sect in the world, the disciple of Xuanxiao, and the result was different!
Du Chongxiao's performance just now is enough to prove that the other party is not afraid of Tianxia Academy at all. At least after the six of them appeared, Du Chongxiao still maintained a tough attitude! Therefore, there is no need for the other party to flatter them, and the authenticity of saying these words is very high!
I especially heard that even the true man Xuanxiao, who is about to fly to immortality, admires their virtues. The sentence "The silkworm will not be able to die until the silk is gone, and the wax will not stop the tears from drying out." It is sincere and vividly depicts the great virtue of teaching and educating people in the academy, and it is by no means Du Chongxiao's nonsense!
Bai Xiugu and others only felt that there was an indescribable comfort and enjoyment from the inside to the outside. Most of the anger in his heart had disappeared in an instant. Seeing that the boy in black was already a humble gentleman, he couldn't help but think secretly that this boy did not look like a strong person, and his behavior just now should be due to the cause!
"Teaching and educating people is our job. Although it is hard, it is still willing to accept it. We should not be praised so much!" Mr. Bai's expression eased unconsciously and said warmly: "For what you have just now, you must give an explanation to all the people in the academy!"
Du Chongxiao briefly described the incident, without any intention of exaggerating the fact that he belittled the academy, but he also portrayed the despicable behavior of Qi Haoran and Qin Lie in a deep and profound way. The accuracy of the words and reasonableness made all the onlookers speechless.
"Yan'er, Lingyu, Mingyu. What Mr. Du 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 Xiangang tolerating the punishment in the Lin of General Yushiguan that day would also happen again.
"My world academies are established by sages. Whether they teach their disciples, they learn the learning of sages, cultivate the virtues of sages, and cultivate the righteousness of sages! Every word and action must be thoughtful and worthy of the heavens!" Bai Xiugu's eyes flashed with divine light, looking at the disciples of the academy around him, shouting loudly: "Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness, gentleness, respect, frugality, thrift, etc., can you remember?"
"Disciples dare not forget!" The disciples of the academy around answered respectfully.
"Qi Haoran and Qin Lie bullied their classmates, and their behavior was unethical. They each held thirty sticks and faced the wall for three months to show punishment!" Bai Xiugu, as the chief teacher of Wenhua Academy, had the right to deal with it. It was already a serious punishment for thirty sticks and faced the wall for three months. And dealing with Qin Lie together shows that the rules were strictly discharged from the hospital and did not favoritism because of their identity!
Du Chongxiao made a move with his right hand, and the rope tied to Qin Lie immediately loosened and entered Du Chongxiao's sleeve like a spirit snake.
The dragon rope is tied up! Bai Xiugu and Lu Xiangyuan were moved by it. This kind of treasure would appear in the hands of a young man who only had the realm of enlightenment. It can be seen that the treasures in Taixuan Qingxu Palace are indeed the best in the world, and Du Chongxiao should also be highly valued by the teachers in Qingxu Palace!
"Mr. Du, no matter what the reason is, your actions just now are not appropriate. It is important to know that this is Tianxia Academy. Even if these two people are at fault, they will deal with it with the court rules! Should you give me an explanation now?" Although Du Chongxiao's words made several people happy, Bai Xiugu would not abolish the public because of his own personal gain. He just tried his best to make his tone and speech appear gentle and tactful.
"When I was in the General's Mansion of Yushiguan, I was thanked by senior Dongfang for help from the help of senior Dongfang to treat the serious injury. Now I see Senior Bai and Senior Dongfang as fair and selfless, which makes me admire him very much!" Du Chongxiao bowed again and said with a sincere expression: "But with Senior Bai's punishment, I will definitely accept it respectfully!"
Witnessing this situation, Nangong Yan and Dongfang Lingyu, but the Dongfang Mingyu sisters knew that Du Chongxiao won another game this time.
The so-called extreme will lead to failure, too much will be too little. If Du Chongxiao continues to be strong, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not anger the teachings. Even if he is a disciple of Xuanxiao, the disciple of Taixuan Qingxu Palace, it would be impossible to be unscrupulous in the Tianxia Academy. No matter how powerful Du Chongxiao is, he will not be able to withstand the three moves and two moves of Bai Xiugu and others, and he will suffer a loss at that time!
And at the moment, this possibility will not happen! On the contrary, because Du Chongxiao pretended to behave, he gave the Tianxia Academy a lot of face to a certain extent. The so-called "instructions" must be incomplete!
In the eyes of the three women, Du Chongxiao has a basis for advancement and retreat, and is slack and righteous. He is definitely not a reckless person who only relies on his blood and courage without taking into account the consequences. He can be said to be both wise and brave! Even if he is the one who is being swept away, they have to secretly admire him!
Seeing Du Chongxiao's answer, Bai Xiugu couldn't help but nodded slowly, and looked at each other with satisfaction. Du Chongxiao was so informed and reasonable, showing the style of a famous disciple. If they insisted on pursuing their responsibility, it would make the Tianxia Academy look narrow-minded and vengeful!
"Since that's the case, I'll have to worry Mr. Du to stay in the academy for a while!" Bai Xiugu finally made the decision.
On the surface, Du Chongxiao seemed to be under house arrest, but in fact Bai Xiugu did not say how long Du Chongxiao would stay for more time. Therefore, this is just a compromise "punishment" that both sides can accept!
"My younger brother, please obey the order!" Du Chongxiao bowed his head and said.
"It's all gone!" Chief Executive Bai brushed his sleeves and left with Lu Xiangyuan and others.
Nangong Yan looked at Du Chongxiao with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Prince Du, please stop!"
Du Chongxiao smiled slightly, put away Wukong stick, turned his head and wanted to shout Qin Zheng to follow him. However, he saw that Qin Zheng had walked to a pretty girl.
"Zhou Mengzhu, do you like me or not?" Qin Zheng stared at the girl's eyes and asked, as if he was like an adult.
Ah! The girl was extremely surprised, then she blushed with a pretty face and stood there helplessly.
"Qin Zheng, how dare you be so rude?" The young man in green next to him jumped out and shouted. He said to the girl again: "Mengzhu, ignore him!"
"Do you like it or not?" Qin Zheng ignored the boy and asked stubbornly.
"Qin Zheng, I already have someone I like!" Zhou Mengzhu did not dare to look directly at Qin Zheng's eyes, but only looked at his toes and answered in the sound of mosquitoes.
"I understand!" Qin Zheng's expression was very calm, and he turned around and strode away.
That night, in an elegant courtyard in Wenhua Courtyard, Du Chongxiao and Qin Zheng sat side by side in front of the pavilion. It was Qingming Festival, and it had just rained in the evening. At this moment, the air was fresh and slightly wet.
"Master, sometimes I feel that I am the most pitiful person in the world! My mother is gone, my father doesn't like me, and the so-called brothers and sisters look down on me, and the person I like falls in love with others again!" Qin Zheng looked depressed at this moment, and the strength he pretended to be during the day had long disappeared.
A bowl of wine was poured out from Du Chongxiao's wine jar, and he looked up and drank it. However, his face was flushed when he was choked and he kept coughing.
Du Chongxiao gently patted the boy's back. After the other party's cough subsided, Fang shook his head and said, "Let me ask you, are there both parents who died since childhood, and they have no relatives and no reason? Are there some people who are not covered in their bodies and cannot fill their stomachs? Are there some people who are blind or mute, stupid or disabled, are they pitiful? Some people are even born, and died due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. Even if they are experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world, are they pitiful? Think about it again, who are the most pitiful to them and you?"
Qin Zheng was stunned and thought carefully, but felt that he was not as pitiful as he said! After a while of silence, he spoke: "Master, I am unwilling to continue 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 inwardly. At the age of twelve, he was so thoughtful. It can be seen that he had suffered so much grievances! He put his hand gently on the other party's shoulder and said softly: "Qin Zheng, you must remember that everyone in this world can despise you, laugh at you, and reject you, but you cannot give up on yourself. You can prove their stupidity with facts. When one day you stand above the peak and look back, you will find that those who once despise you, laugh at you, and reject you are just a tiny speck of dust in your life. You will no longer be influenced by their attitude, and there is a broader scenery in front of you! Do you understand?"
Qin Zheng pondered for a long time, and then nodded slowly and said in an extremely grateful tone: "Master, I understand!"
No one has ever encouraged him like this, except for the master in front of him. He was obviously a few years old, but he was as wise as an elder. His words were thought-provoking and made him suddenly enlightened.
"I'll give a glass to the master!" Qin Zheng raised the bowl and drank a big gulp again. He was young and had only two bowls of wine, and his mind began to be drowsy.
"Wine is not fragrant without poetry, so I will chant a song!" I learned from the tone of the adults, Qin Zheng swayed into the courtyard, pointed at the bright moon in the sky with one hand, and shouted: "Raise the glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow will become three people!" After thinking about it, I felt it was inappropriate, so I changed it to: "Raise the glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow will be four people!"
Only then did he feel satisfied, he turned to Du Chongxiao and said, "Master is going to have another song too!"
"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 give you one!" Qin Zheng's eyes began to scatter, but he still refused to let Du Chongxiao go. When he wanted to come to the master, both civil and military talents, not to mention reciting, it would be no difficulty even if he wrote a poem.
"Okay!" Du Chongxiao remembered a poem about wine, so he chanted: "If the sky does not love wine, the wine star will not be in the sky. If the earth does not love wine, the earth should not have wine springs. The heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of the heaven. I have heard that the clear and saints are more sages, and the way is as turbid as wise as virtuous. Since the wise and sage have already drunk, why should I seek the gods and immortals? Three cups of the road are connected to nature. But if you get the fun in the wine, don't pass it on to those who wake up."
"What a three cup to the road, one bucket to the natural world!" A strong voice came, followed by a light breeze, and two more people were added in the courtyard.
With the bright moonlight, we can clearly see that one of the visitors was Bai Xiugu, the head teacher of Wenhua Academy. The other person was silly with a veil on his face, and the evening breeze was lightly sent, and the faint fragrance of flowers came.
"I've seen Senior Bai!" Du Chongxiao hurriedly bowed to the salute. What he said during the day was actually from the mouth of Manager Hu, the shopkeeper of Yunlai Inn, but his respect for this old man was not a pretender. He was indifferent to fame and fortune, and did not love wealth. He has worked hard to teach and educate people for the past forty years. Such an elder is enough to gain everyone's respect!
"Let's talk less, serve the wine quickly!" Bai Xiugu said without paying attention to the red tape and asked for wine directly. When he saw the wine jar brought by Du Chongxiao, a strange color flashed in his eyes and said, "Young Master Du's wine jar is also a rare thing. I have heard that there are countless rare treasures in Taixuan Qingxu Palace. Now you can only know from Mr. Du that this is true!"
"Senior, I call me Chongxiao!" Seeing that the woman wearing veil had already prepared two jade bowls, Du Chongxiao stepped forward and added wine, and smiled and said, "This wine jar is given by a friend, and it is filled with turbid wine, so I am afraid it will not be up to my senior's wishes!"
"Wine is a good wine, you will know it at once you smell it!" Bai Xiugu drank it all.
The woman also lifted up the gauze and took a sip.
"I forgot to introduce it to you. This is my little granddaughter Yuxin!" Bai Xiugu pointed to the woman behind him and introduced to each other: "This is Du Chongxiao, the great disciple of Xuanxiao, Du Chongxiao!"
"I've seen Mr. Du!" The veiled woman greeted her with a tribute, her voice was as crisp as an oriole, which was particularly beautiful. She paused for a moment and asked again, "Shu Yuxin was the presumptuous poem. Was the poem just now written by the master?"
Du Chongxiao was slightly stunned. He just heard Qin Zheng chanting "Raise the glass to invite the bright moon, and make three people with shadows". He thought that all four poems were published under the moon. But when he heard the woman's meaning, it seemed that he had never heard of the first poem he chanted.
My mind changed rapidly, and I continued to maintain an unexpected expression and shook my head and said, "I know nothing about poetry. This poem is obtained by Master drinking alone on the moonlit night, leaning on the stone and dreaming, and being entrusted by the Qinglian Immortal."
"No wonder, I have such a fairy spirit!" Bai Yuxin nodded slowly and said.
Du Chongxiao laughed secretly, but it turned out that the other party knew that the poem was not something that a common man like him could do. Even if he pretended to be shameless, he would make a joke.
As the saying goes, poetry is like a person, without such fairy bones and talent, how can one make such a poem that is beyond the world and full of fairy spirit?
***
True Dragon City.
In the bedroom, on the white jade dragon bed, Emperor Qin, with a sick face, slowly opened his eyes and called out in an extremely weak voice: "Come here!"
The old eunuch appeared at the head of the bed and said happily: "Master, you are finally awake!"
Chapter completed!
