Chapter 41 Uncle Hua Gong

The county government official came to his home. Lu Laoshi was very happy and asked Li Jinhua, who was still outside, to come back to cook, and quickly moved a few stools under the eaves.

"Then... that... the king's clerk, please sit down."

He looked back at his son and urged: "Liangsheng, why are you standing there? Why don't you ask the chief clerk to sit down quickly?"

"Don't have to worry about it."

The old man waved his hand and looked at the students who were saluting, and smiled slightly: "Today we go out to see the scenery of Qixia Mountain with outstanding people and a beautiful place, and we will also come over to see Liangsheng."

"How can that be? You are the mentor of my Liangsheng. You have come to your house, so how can you not eat?" Li Jinhua has already washed rice with water. Women in the mountain village have never had the rules of men talking and women not being able to interrupt.

Lu Liangsheng also nodded: "Master, stay for dinner."

The old man was not pedantic and didn't care about the woman's in. He smiled: "If I had supper, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to go back to the county town tonight. There is still official business to deal with tomorrow. Liangsheng, please follow me to the outside of the village."

"Yes." Liangsheng stopped persuading him and followed the old man out of the yard.

The toad lying on the window frame hummed.

"I have never seen me as polite to me in the past."

As he muttered, a big hand reached out and raised the toad Taoist priest and placed it on his shoulder. Sun Yingxian laughed and said, "I know you want to go, I am kind enough to lead you all the way."

"You want to be kind!" The toad glared at him and turned his face to the side.

After spending three months together, Sun Yingxian knew that the toad was so angry that he didn't care. When he walked to the entrance of the yard, there was another person staring at him. The Taoist was stunned and then smiled.

"Oh, this isn't the headmaster..."

Zuo Zhengyang stared at him with a glance, and then his eyes fell on the Taoist face, his eyes as lightning: "Why are you here?"

"Why can't this Taoist be here?"

When we met on the first day of the first day, Sun Yingxian was still scared of the captain's sword technique. After calming down, his mouth became neat: "The people of Lujia Village are kind and good guests. It is normal to see me as a down-and-out Taoist, who can help me for ten days and half a month."

He glanced at the slender scabbard around the other person's waist and arched his hand.

"Goodbye, take one step first!"

Even after chasing him out, Zuo Zhengyang was not relieved of this Taoist man, and he followed him quickly.

Outside the village, a snow-white reflection of the sunlight was a bit pissing. The old and the young walking on the country road looked at the acres of fertile land around it. After a long time, Wang Shuhua spoke slowly.

"What I saw on the way this day is that the villagers are hardworking and the cultivation of fertile land is very good. But Liangsheng, do you think it is better to benefit the people of a place or the people of a country?"

Lu Liangsheng, who was walking behind, was stunned for a moment, looked at the image of stopping in front of him and frowned slightly.

“…Of course, it is the people of a country, and a country also includes a place.”

"Personal words."

The old man was not angry, walked two steps with his hands on his back, turned sideways to look at the small river not far away.

"Then you killed Chen Yaoke, right?"

Suddenly, although his tone was gentle, Lu Liangsheng's back became cold and cold. When the murder was said, no matter who was a little nervous.

"Teacher..."

Without waiting for the boy to explain, Wang Shuhua turned his face and nodded: "It's good to kill!"

In the distance of the field path, Sun Yingxian and Zuo Zhengyang stopped and looked over.

On this side, Lu Liangsheng looked at the old man with a stunned expression on his face. He couldn't guess what the teacher in front of him was going to say for a while, but he never regretted that matter.

He bowed slightly and bowed: "My teacher, that Chen Yaoke was killed by the student."

"Good kill!"

The old man repeated the sentence, and the look at Lu Liangsheng was different after all. "I came here today, and I was actually ordered by the county magistrate. He also guessed that Chen Yuanwai's family was the one you did in Yazuiling, but he did not intend to pursue it. He just wanted to ask him to be a teacher and tell you that the skills of the side are just small ways."

"Mr., what good student is practicing..."

"The way to kill is a small way, and it is also the words of the teacher. Liangsheng, look..."

The old man said calmly, raised his hand to sweep away the surrounding snowy scenery and the endless mountains, "...These scenery has remained unchanged forever. In another hundred years or thousand years, some places may change, but they will not be much different. But people can only wait for decades. People who practice Taoism may live a long life and pursue long-term vision. After all, they are selfish."

He is old and has a gray head, and what he says also has his own past experience.

"Actually, it's a bit too much to say that selfishness is a bit too much. People have selfish desires. People who practice Taoism pursue immortality, and Taoism is naturally reasonable. But good life... Not everyone in this world can have such luck. There are many people like this village, such as your parents and relatives, who are ordinary people, and they live a life of hardship."

"The good student knows."

Lu Liangsheng sighed and bowed: "But the students cannot fully agree."

"Oh?" The old man must have expected him to say this, and laughed: "Then listen carefully to the teacher."

"Mr., although the students have shallow cultivation, they also know that they can make the villagers here live a better life. Here, a small magic array for gathering spirits is set up in this river to nourish fish, shrimps and soil, so that in order to have enough food and clothing in the future, they can also make more money.

Liangsheng often heard that in the wilderness, in the deep mountains and forests, there are many evil spirits who harm people. There are also practitioners in the world who uphold justice and do evil. They are not as selfish as their mentors say. Even if they pursue the way of immortality, they are just human desires. The goal they expect in their hearts is no different from being an official and sailing against the current."

The boy said calmly, and the words he said were beyond his age. The old man opposite frowned slightly, but his eyes flashed with a look of praise.

Turn around and take steps to continue moving forward.

"Liang Sheng's words were analyzed very well, which shows that you have worked hard in your studies. But they are still a bit rigid. As you said, those who practice Taoism are chivalrous and righteous. How many people may be helped by removing the evil spirits and monsters that harm people? What's more, not every practitioner is like you, Liang Sheng... You treat the people well here and develop virtues, and you will be only a corner of your life."

Wang Shuhua looked calmly with his hands in his hands, looking at the busy farmers in the fields ahead and the man digging the pool.

"If you improve your studies in the future and become an official in the court after you get a good fortune, how much will you do in rural areas and fields be blessed with such great things? Even if you cannot become an official in the court and become a county, you can still take care of tens of thousands of people. Under such great virtues and great causes, no matter how powerful the magic of immortals is, it will seem insignificant."

Lu Liangsheng fell silent, his face still had not changed, and the cold wind in the fields blew the clothes of the old and the young.

After a long time, the boy bowed and said, "Students know."

The old man who was slowly moving forward was not going to continue moving forward. He turned around and saw that he didn't speak, laughed and looked down on his hands.

"You... You are not asking you to give up your practice, but I just want to tell you which one is more important. However, I have never seen many practitioners in my life. What I just said is just a persuasion. You are talented and should not be abandoned. Next year, the child examination will be disappointed.

Wang Shuhua still cared about the so-called practitioner in his heart, but he had never seen anyone in his life. Killing invisible ways, singing and drinking across the mountains and fields is also something that a literati like him yearns for in the bones.

But after all, I am old, even older than my body.

The cold wind became stronger and more intense. Lu Liangsheng tried to prevent the old man from getting cold. He pinched his fingers and brushed his wide sleeves gently. The invisible thing blocked the wind outside, which surprised Wang Shuhua.

I even reached out to touch it with curiously, but couldn't touch anything.

After a while, the teacher and student walked along the small road in the fields and chatted. After another half an hour passed, Zuo Zhengyang came over and said that it was getting late, so he was about to leave.

The old man got into the car and lifted the curtain and still reminded him: "Remember what he said before."

"Abide by the teacher's teachings."

Lu Liangsheng bowed and watched the carriage go away until he disappeared at the end of the road before turning around and walking back.

On the path in the fields, Taoist Toad looked at the carriage away and stood up in anger.

"........ This old guy is hypocritical and looks down on the Taoist practitioners. I am going to be angry to death, don't stop me."

With two short legs kicked, he jumped to the ground. Sun Yingxian quickly grabbed her with his eyes and hands. Her entire short body was grabbed in the air and slipped out of the cotton jacket and turned the direction.

Bang!

It was the sound of slapping on the water surface.

Far away.

Lu Liangsheng was walking back to the village, thinking about the conversation with his mentor just now. For a moment, he heard the Taoist shouting in the distance.

"Lu Liangsheng, your toad master has fallen into the pool!"

The pool where the water was stored, the Toad Taoist sank ravenly.
