Chapter 256: Contentment is always happy
Time flies. After the day parted, two Jiazi has passed. During this period, Li Qi has been busy all the time, leaving behind the incident of Ren Nu, and only occasionally heard the Chicken Prostitute mention it.
When I saw this today, Ren Nu was still beautiful, with ice-skinned and jade-like bones, bright eyes and charming smiles, like fairies, and not so beautiful. These past things immediately came to my mind, just like yesterday.
"What are you looking at?"
Ren Nu asked with a smile.
"look......"
Li Qi suddenly woke up, then smiled awkwardly, and said, "Yes, I should call you Ren Nu. Long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Ren Nu smiled slightly and said, "I had a quick separation that day and I had no time to say too much to you. I wanted to invite you to Lingzhou and personally thank you for your life-saving grace. Unfortunately, I was imprisoned as soon as I came back and was released recently." After speaking, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if she felt wronged about her confinement, but she looked even more cute and charming.
In fact, she is so beautiful that she is very charming in every move.
Li Qi smiled and said, "I am very happy that you can invite me to come. How dare you distinguish between the morning and evening."
"You really haven't changed at all." Ren Nu smiled slightly, pointed to the side and said, "Oh, you didn't eat it all night last night, so you must be hungry. I'll bring you some fruits."
Li Qi turned his head and saw that there were a lot of fruits on the chessboard, and they were all those he had never seen before. But when he saw the chessboard, he suddenly remembered something and looked around and said, "Huh? Where is the old man in the door?"
Ren Nu immediately covered her lips and giggled.
Li Qi asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Ren Nu said: "The old man who played chess with you yesterday is not a guardian grandfather. He is my respected teacher, and this is not a Liumen. You have actually entered Lingzhou long ago, and the respected teacher left this morning."
"Your respectful teacher?"
Li Qi knew that the old man was not simple, but he didn't expect that he would be Ren Nu's respected teacher and said curiously: "What's going on?"
"You sit down and eat some fruit first, and I will tell you slowly."
"oh."
Li Qi sat down and suddenly stared at a white jade-colored fruit that looked very similar to humans, saying, "Isn't this a ginseng fruit?"
Ren Nu shook her head and said, "This is a spiritual fruit, which is unique to our Lingzhou. Eating one in the morning will make you feel more energetic."
"It's so magical, I have to try it."
As a chef, Li Qi was of course very interested in eating. He picked up a fruit and took a bite. The juice splashed in his mouth, which was sweet and delicious, leaving a fragrance on his lips and teeth. He felt that even the delicious fruit was just like this, and he said vaguely: "It's delicious! Your spiritual fruit is really delicious."
While talking, he suddenly stared at a clarity ball of crystal clear balls, as big as a bun, very similar to water droplets, and said, "What is this? Is it a fruit?"
"This is dewdrop! Have you never seen it?" Ren Nu pursed her lips and said.
"Dewdrop?" Liqi wondered: "I have seen many dewdrops, but I have never seen such a large dewdrop. And since it is a dewdrop, how can it still be condensed and not dispersed?"
Ren Nu smiled and said, "This is the dewdrop of the tree on the earth, and it is naturally somewhat different from the ordinary dewdrops."
But it’s not just a little different, these are just two substances! Li Qi asked again: “Just take it and eat it?”
"Um."
Li Qi picked up the dewdrop, and a cool feeling came from his fingertips. It felt like water, but it was very elastic and it never dispersed. It was very magical. After biting it, the dewdrop turned into water as soon as it entered the mouth, and it was very sweet and quenched thirst more than water. He stuffed the remaining half of the dewdrop into his mouth and kept exclaiming in his mouth: "This dewdrop is so amazing."
After eating the dewdrops, his eyes locked on a pink peach, which was as big as a grapefruit, and said, "Is this a peach?"
Ren Nu said, "This is a peach."
"Peach?"
Li Qi blinked and asked, "Is your spiritual master's honorable title the Queen Mother of the West?"
Ren Nu shook her head and said, "Of course not. Don't you know that there is only one king on this land, the king of the land of the kingdom. In fact, our spiritual master did not have any respectful titles for a long time. The "spirit master" was also called by the royal family first, and then other races followed this title. Over time, our spiritual master was called this."
"I know, of course I know, but...haha." Li Qi blew up, holding the peach in both hands and taking a big bite. The peach was really delicious, and the food was so comfortable and wonderful. I couldn't help but think that Lingzhou was indeed magical everywhere. Suddenly glanced at Ren Nu, and saw that he was smiling and looking at him eating, he felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly said, "Ren Nu, you have hidden me so miserably. It turns out that you are the next spiritual master."
Ren Nu smiled and said, "Our Spirit Lord in Lingzhou may be different from what you think. In our Lingzhou, the Spirit Lord is no different from the ordinary spiritual race. He is just responsible for some diplomatic matters."
When Li Qi heard this, he seemed to remember something, "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered it. I seem to have heard that your Lingzhou is the system of teacher commanders, which means that the teacher is the biggest."
"It cannot be said that it is the biggest, because in our spiritual race, all spirits are equal, so there is no difference between size and size."
Ren Nu explained their teacher system to Li Qi again.
The levels can be roughly divided into three types: respecting teachers, masters, and masters.
But from Li Qi's understanding, this system is completely reversed. Among these three levels, respect for teachers is the most authoritative, but in fact, respect for teachers is kindergarten teachers, who are specialized in educating children. In each Ling tribe in Lingzhou, there is one respect for teachers, and there is only one respect for teachers. The system of "a teacher for one day and a father for life" is most suitable for this teacher command system.
The second is the Chief Teacher, who is responsible for teaching skills, just like a university teacher.
Finally, there is the division, but this division refers to a group, which can even be understood as a parliament, which is composed of the most wise spiritual race. They are specifically responsible for thinking. Generally, important matters in the spiritual race are decided by them. The Spirit Lord has the power to govern the army, but the Spirit Lord does not have the power to start a war.
There are five elements under this master, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which control the metal, wood, water, fire and earth in Lingzhou.
There are only three soldiers under the Spirit Lord, guards, ministers, and scholars.
They are all responsible for all external affairs. The nobles are actually diplomats, then Taisheng is a diplomat, while the guards are the army, and the literati are responsible for literary work.
This system is very strange, because according to the system arrangement, this power should be in the hands of the teacher, but it is not like this. In Lingzhou, the authority of respecting the teacher without any position and power is the greatest, and they can oppose the teacher's decision.
As for the five righteous and three scholars, they are simply staff members, or service personnel.
After hearing this, Li Qi was even more confused. The division of power was unclear and contradictory, and he said, "I really can't understand this. You seem to be completely inverted with the system of the kingdom or other races, and it is very conflicting. How can you manage it well?"
Ren Nu smiled and said, "Didn't you talk about your desire to be polite with your respectful teacher yesterday?"
Li Qi said in surprise: "How do you know?"
Ren Nu said: "Actually, I was there yesterday, but the respect for the teacher heard a lot about you and was a little curious about you, so he led you to talk here, but he didn't allow me to come out."
"So that's how it is."
Li Qi said: "I'll just say, why is an old man in the door so handsome and elegant, and his words are full of wisdom, which makes people feel inexplicably admire him."
Ren Nu smiled and said, "You are so smart, I'm afraid you've noticed it long ago."
"I'm so stupid in front of your respect for your teacher." Li Qi blew and asked again: "What does this desire have to do with the division commander system?"
Ren Nu said: "Our spiritual race is born on this tree on the earth, and the trees on the earth are rich in resources. Therefore, our spiritual race does not need any work and can also obtain food. Compared with other races, our spiritual race is the luckiest. Therefore, the ancestors of our spiritual race all agreed that our spiritual race can not only not ask for any creature, but also must give back to the earth."
Speaking of this, she sighed quietly and said, "But as long as it is a living creature, it will always be greedy and always want to get more. Even our spiritual race is no exception. However, we have been favored by the tree of the earth and we are not qualified to fight for more. Therefore, the ancestors at that time had a long debate on this, and the main debate was whether to ensure this with the rule of law or self-cultivation. In the end, the ancestors decided to ensure this with the latter.
Because the sages believed that the rule of law was only a superficial form, and those who revise and enforce the law were all living beings, so the law still depends on the creatures after all. If the creatures change, the law will also become fickle. Then instead of practicing the law, it is better to improve it fundamentally. Therefore, our Lingzhou has no law, and it depends entirely on self-cultivation. Then education is the fundamental part of our spiritual race. Every spiritual race must receive education from an early age to establish a perfect character. Therefore, respecting teachers is the most indispensable thing in our Lingzhou."
"So that's it." Li Qi nodded slightly and said, "I understand why your spiritual race never trades externally, but just gives gifts. Rich products are not the main reason."
Ren Nu shook her head and smiled, "That's not true. If our spiritual race lives in your human places, we will be the same as you. Without the tree of the earth, the sages would not have put forward those ideas. The tree of the earth would still support all this. The reason why we do not trade externally is because the essence of transactions is the exchange of interests, which will inevitably breed greed and destroy the foundation of our spiritual race."
Li Qi said: "I understand the truth. I just think it's very difficult, because without the guarantee of the law, it is necessary to ensure that every spiritual race must have a perfect character. I think we humans will definitely not be able to do it, at least we won't be willing to eat fruits every day."
Why did he think this system is very contradictory? It is difficult to realize this system. If everyone is a saint, of course there is no need for any law, but how can this be guaranteed? This means "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires", which is excessively de-idealized, and even Zhu Xi himself did not do it.
Of course, if it can be achieved, then respecting teachers is of course the greatest, because they are the fundamental ones.
Ren Nu said: "I remember you said that those who are content will always be happy."
"Have I said this?"
"That's what you said."
"Maybe it is."
Ren Nu pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Maybe it was very difficult at the beginning, because our thoughts were not mature at that time, but over time, our spiritual races have developed the habit of being pure and weak. At the same time, we have gained happiness and happiness that other races have never had, because when you give back to the earth, the earth will inevitably favor you more. We are very content, so we are very happy, and it is not as difficult as you think."
