A rural school, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with gurgling streams nearby, water surging when it meets rocks, and green calamus bushes.

Chen Pingan, whose real body is located, is lying on a wicker chair, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, closing his eyes and meditating.

The road ends with clouds in the daytime, and the stream grows in spring and blue nights.

Zhao stopped walking under the tree and sat on a bamboo chair under the eaves.

Zhao glanced at the master who was lying down shaking the cattail leaf fan under the tree, and remembered Mr. Zhu's words for no reason. Yang and longevity vary, and they are not only in heaven. If you cultivate your moral character, you can live forever.

Chen Ping'an still closed his eyes and said: "If you want to laugh, you can laugh. You don't have to hold it back. But I have agreed in advance that today's events will not be spread to the other side of Luolu Mountain, especially Xiaomi Li."

Zhao Shuxia nodded with a smile on his face, but he didn't laugh out loud, which saved some face for his master.

The more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes. After all, this kind of thing happened to Master. No matter how honest and honest Zhao Shuxia is, he still can't help but want to laugh.

It turns out that during the day, there was a mother in the school who was a young girl. She looked like a shrewish woman. When she got here, she stood at the door and started to scream, asking her children to go home with her and stop studying here.

When the master asked about the reason, the woman just ignored her and just called her child's nickname. Meng Tong stood up timidly, as if he was ashamed and aggrieved.

The woman took the child's arm and asked the master to pay for it on the spot and return the money. In fact, the tuition fee was less than the "market price" and much lower than the next village.

The master was not angry, nor did he say anything to the woman. He just wanted to say a few words to the child.

As a result, the woman was irritated, and she started to push her. The master just raised his hand to stop her, and the woman started to act recklessly and shouted directly at the master's face.

Recalling what happened during the day, Chen Ping'an couldn't help laughing a little, "Maybe this is the gentle sweeping mentioned in the book."

Zhao Shuxia asked curiously: "Master, is using ten strips of bacon as a bundle of cultivators really the entrance ceremony for becoming a disciple prescribed by the Holy Master himself?"

The implication is, of course, does a saint need money to teach?

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded, "It's absolutely true."

Zhao Shuxia endured it, but still couldn't help asking: "Master, why did you let that woman take the child away?"

Chen Pingan opened his eyes, thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Since we can't stop it, what can we do? We can't fight each other. It's not about boxing. Whoever wins the fight has the final say."

Zhao Shuxia smiled from ear to ear.

In the end, the child became the first Mengtong boy to drop out of the village school.

The school had just opened a few days ago, so it would be an understatement to say it was a bad start.

I heard that the talkative woman who likes to chew her tongue has recently been throwing dirty water on the school and the master, making false accusations and daring to say any unpleasant things.

Although Chen Pingan here has deliberately put away all realms, magical powers and atmosphere, he is no different from ordinary people. Therefore, Chen Pingan did not hear the several times Zhaoxia said hello before, and that time the Fengxue Temple girl

Xiu Yu Huiting, she came here by chance, mistakenly thought that Chen Pingan was pretending to sleep on the wicker chair, and deliberately ignored her. She really wrongly blamed Chen Yinguan. But even so, even if Chen Pingan just glared at that time, he would probably be able to scare the person who came to the door.

What a careless country woman.

It's interesting, it's funny, it's funny, Zhao Shuxia still sighed, after all, he was fighting for his master. What a blessing it is to be able to study and work with him? I heard that many Confucian academies now hope that master will give lectures. Master

They all declined.

Chen Ping'an lightly shook his cattail leaf fan and laughed to himself, "I remember the first time I met Wei Xian back then. It was at a place called Hu'er Town on the border of Daquan. In the inn, we, the founding emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, had a keen eye.

Duju, who just met me, remember Wei Hailiang's second sentence, which was "The master is very domineering". Ha, what do you think? In addition to being a good drinker, Wei Xian is also a good judge of people.

His vision is even more outstanding, both Lu Baixiang and Sui Youyou are far inferior to Wei Xian."

After all, Zhao Shuxia is not senior sister Pei Qian, let alone junior senior brother Cui Dongshan, so he cannot accept such words.

There was a moment of silence, and then Chen Pingan said two sentences without any reason.

"Know that there is nothing you can do about it, and be content with it as if it were your fate."

"The moonlight and wind finally shine down."

Zhao Shuxia didn't know what was going on, but he noticed that tonight's master seemed a little... relieved, especially relaxed?

Chen Pingan chuckled softly and said: "You can send that letter to Luopo Mountain. Remember to choose a secluded landscape and walk along the way. On the way, you can experience the unusual physique of a martial artist in the Five Realms. When you get to Luopo Mountain, you don't have to rush back. Let's

The old cook will help feed the fist, and the place will be on the second floor of the bamboo building. After recovering from the injury, if you feel that the punch is satisfying, you can take a few more beatings. It is best to secretly learn a few more stances from Zhu Lian.

Guys like to hide their secrets. I guess there are a lot of secret skills that I have never had a chance to show off. You are also a swordsman, and Zhu Lian can also do swordsmanship. When you get to the second floor, you can shamelessly ask him to shake his hands. If you can in Zhulou

, it’s okay to hit the six realms by the way. Don’t worry about my food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Worrying about this kind of thing is better than worrying about being a bachelor when you are old enough. "

Zhao Shuxia was at the school. He had just advanced from the fourth realm of martial arts to the fifth realm. Because they were all within the body refining realm, it was not as difficult to break through as the third to fourth realms and the sixth to seventh realms.

Just now, the Taoist priest Wu Di was in the courtyard of the back alley in Yongjia County, asking Lu Chen about textual research. How did Zhu Lian's swordsmanship compare to Sui Youyou?

Lu Chen smiled playfully and only answered with two words, not low.

As for whether it was just higher or not lower than Sui Youyou, or in the eyes of his master Lu, Zhu Lian's swordsmanship was worthy of the word "not lower", Lu Chen did not want to elaborate at that time.

You must know that Lu Chen once wrote a chapter about swords. In addition, in Baiyu Jingyushu City, he borrowed a piece of land from the city lords Guo Xie and Shao Xiang to build a private study room, which he named "Guanqian Sword Studio".

”.

The two chief and deputy city lords are both Taoist great swordsmen among the Baiyujing Taoist officials.

Zhu Lian once let slip that the first time he traveled around the world was with a sword. Chen Ping would kill him for not believing that Zhu Lian was not proficient in swordsmanship.

Of the four people in the Ouhua Blessed Land Picture Scroll, to this day, it seems that only Zhu Lian has not accepted a direct disciple. It must be known that Zhu Lian is already a martial artist at the end of his life. Regardless of his early conversion to Taoism, Sui Youyou, who wants to be a female swordsman, is training in martial arts.

Wei Xian and Lu Baixiang, who have contributed more together, are now in the far-flung realm, as is fellow countryman Zhong Qiu, but Zhu Lian, who has been in Luopo Mountain for so many years, is more interested in replacing the young mountain master as a housekeeper.

On top of taking care of general affairs, Chen Ping'an was busy with everything and only had time to learn martial arts. Chen Ping'an didn't know what he was thinking. That's why the two sides met in the capital of Nanyuan for a boxing match. They chose a snowy day.

Don't spare any effort, just practice boxing vigorously and compete.

According to the years of "learning martial arts", you are a decade older than me, Chen Ping'an, and I am one level higher than you, Zhu Lian, in martial arts. This means that everyone should rely on their ability. When the time comes, whoever gets beaten down, don't blame anyone.

Zhao Shuxia nodded and agreed.

Indeed, in the thirty years since Master first left home, he spent almost most of his time traveling far away and in foreign lands, and it was not his turn to take care of Master's daily life.

I remember Zhu Lian once said that when we cannot be responsible for ourselves, it is difficult to be qualified to be responsible for others.

As for the impromptu letter delivery, it turned out that Chen Pingan had just written a letter during the day. He originally planned to ask Chen Lingjun to take it to Luopo Mountain and send it to Qingping Sword Sect the next time he came here for a stroll. The recipient of the letter was Cao Qinglang.

In the letter, Chen Ping'an suggested that this proud student, who was pleasing to his eyes no matter how he looked at it, should take the time to go to Tianmu Academy and listen to the lectures of deputy director Wen Yu while he was busy with the construction of Dadu.

Chen Pingan never hid these things, as well as some selfish motives, from Zhao Shuxia.

Zhao Shuxia asked curiously: "Master, it seems that you respect Chief Wen of Tianmu Academy very much?"

Chen Pingan thought for a moment, carefully weighed his words, and said slowly: "How should I put it? Wen Yu is very close to what I have in mind... the image of a scholar in an ideal state. He has a strong character and a kind of scholar who is naturally better than me."

He is energetic and energetic, but at the same time very pragmatic, ambitious, thoughtful, and prudent in doing things, and he always has a strong compassion for the weak. Therefore, in my opinion, Wen Yu deserves to be called "Pure Pure Confucianism"

' of praise."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "As my husband said, 'A gentleman is a gentleman if he is determined and practical.' Wen Yu is such a gentleman."

Perhaps he was infected by the atmosphere brought about by his master's change of mood. Zhao Shuxia rarely joked: "How does Master Wen compare with Mr. Liu of Taihui Sword Sect?"

Chen Ping'an laughed dumbly, and lightly flapped his cattail leaf fan with a leisurely expression, squinting his eyes and smiling, "It's not quite the same. I feel more at ease when I get along with Liu Jiuxian, but I feel more reserved when I get along with Mr. Wen Shanchang."

Zhao Shuxia was a little shocked. The master had never seen any big storms, but he still felt cautious when getting along with others?

Although Zhao Shuxia does not belong to any mountain in Luopo Mountain, the atmosphere of Luopo Mountain is there. Everyone is more arrogant in their words. A lot of news is exchanged with each other, just like no one is a marginal figure. So he knows it very well.

, Master often goes on a long trip and returns to Luopo Mountain, as if he carries a basket of stories with him. After returning to his hometown, no matter what magnificent things he encounters, whether he has experienced them personally or watched them from the sidelines, he rarely mentions them to anyone repeatedly.

A certain person just said that the master opened a school here to teach, and he mentioned Wen Yu many times under the Zhao tree.

The first time Chen Pingan met Yu was on his family's Feng Yuan ferry. Although it was their first meeting and the two parties didn't talk much, Chen Pingan made no secret of his admiration for this gentleman from the academy under the Zhao tree.

.

For example, Wen Yu had an idea and planned to use a certain mountain sect as an example. The first condition was that the number of people in the ancestral hall must be an odd number. Before that, there would be a smaller-scale internal discussion to judge certain important decisions.

Whether it needs to be put on the agenda. The number of people is also an odd number, ensuring that there will not be a situation where the number of people with positive and negative opinions is the same. In this way, any resolution on the table, yes or no, can be passed quickly. Regardless of whether it is vaguely divided into "

"Big and small", there are two council halls inside and outside. If you always hold dissent, you can clearly request that your negative opinions be recorded in a book and kept for record for future "auditing" and verification. At the same time, a similar

The role of "historian" has responsibilities similar to those of daily life.

Chen Ping'an extended his fingers together and gently raised them in circles, "Wen Yu said, the whole world is showing an upward spiral. The lines are like sheep's horns, all going upwards. It doesn't just rely on some strong people.

Taking the lead in paving the way requires a stable yet flexible system. He thought that the quality of the world cannot always depend on the decisions of a small group of people. There needs to be a way for more people to take responsibility for themselves. During this period

, we can correct mistakes at any time. We are not afraid of making mistakes, but we are afraid of procrastination. We use the appearance of inaction to cover up neglect of government. We should make every mistake and correction become a small step on the rise of the world. Over time, we will build a road.

People can

Go. In this way, just like the academy provides a well-documented manuscript and template for the secular world, and then the more joint resolutions are passed, the more cases can be read from scratch, and the more problems are discovered and corrected.

If you correct the calligraphy, the original copy will become more and more rare, and eventually the world will be stable, but in this process, there will definitely be some mistakes.

Chen Pingan sighed softly, "It takes ten years to grow trees and one hundred years to cultivate people. There is a long way to go."

Zhao Shuxia blushed and said, "Master, by telling me this, are you playing the piano to a cow?"

Chen Pingan smiled and asked: "Do you feel annoyed?"

Zhao Shuxia shook his head and said: "Of course not."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "When we know more 'whys' one by one, it will make us more patient and normal. If a person can be calm, he has succeeded in cultivating his mind. When encountering things in the future, it will not be easy for him to deal with them.

People speak angrily and harshly."
