Chapter 199: Zi said nothing

Lu Yun met the famous Ning Caichen.

This scholar is the master of a sleeping ghost.

But now, he has just arrived in Guobei County and has caused a lot of trouble.

"Scholar, what are you doing here?"

Yan Chixia asked beside Lu Yun.

"I'll collect the accounts."

The scholar replied.

"Where is the account book?"

"Well, it's this..."

The scholar was a little embarrassed and gave Yan Chixia a book that had been stained with handwriting.

When I opened it, I couldn't see anything clearly.

Yan Chixia rolled her eyes.

With his IQ, I don’t know what happened in the field.

The scholar should have an account book, so he came here to collect the accounts. However, he did not expect that a heavy rain would pollute the account book, so the store decided to pay the account and drove the scholar out.

Even if you know the story of this, you will not be able to judge the scholar.

Because the account book is gone, how can I collect the accounts based on the scholar's own opinion?

Unreasonable!

"So, scholar. I think it's too late today. You can stay here and go back to your hometown tomorrow!"

Yan Chixia took out a ingot of silver and threw it into Ning Caichen's hand. She turned around and looked at Dao Ren Lu, and was about to subdue demons with Dao Ren Lu.

"A gentleman loves money and takes it with a good reputation. A gentleman does not eat food that comes with pity."

Ning Caichen did not collect Yan Chixia's silver, but instead said righteously.

"Oh? You're interesting!" Yan Chixia's face darkened, she grabbed the silver with her big hand, and then grabbed the silver. "I won't accept it, I'm so angry!"

He was too lazy to pay attention to this stupid scholar and scholar's enthusiasm.

Good intentions are regarded as donkey's liver and lungs.

Thinking of asking him to beg and crying to give money to the scholar, it was a daydream.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, let's go!"

"good!"

Lu Yun nodded, looked at Ning Caichen again, and walked towards the direction where Lanruo Temple was.

This scholar Ning Caichen is quite interesting.

Although it looks a bit pedantic, it is precisely because of this pedantic or the righteous heart that all kinds of temptations can be resisted.

If you are not greedy for women or money, you will be righteous in your heart, and no demon can do anything to him.

Of course, if you face someone, a gangster can bully you...

There are not many swordsmen like Xiahou who can defeat him in the world, but when they lose their composure in their hearts, they eventually die at the hands of Nie Xiaoqian.

Sad, lamentable...

Lu Yun thought about these things and walked towards Lanruo Temple.

Lanruo Temple was originally a holy place for Buddhism. It was surrounded and suppressed by the governor hundreds of years ago. Even though the masters of Lanruo Temple were surrounded and suppressed into ruins. Now it looks particularly depressing and no longer has the legendary majesty and magnificence.

Lu Yun suddenly remembered the origin of Xiao Baicai.

Two peerless masters fought and died together. Their blood poured on Xiao Baicai, which made Baicai have spiritual intelligence and eventually turned into a demon.

This tree demon king must have the same origin.

I guess the fierce battle hundreds of years ago made blood flow into a river, watering a big tree, causing the big tree to become a spirit and eventually become a tree demon king?

"Scholar, why are you here?"

At this moment, Yan Chixia suddenly shouted loudly and looked at the scholar following behind with an unkind expression.

Ning Caichen walked step by step to Yan Chixia, slightly panting, and a little shy, and said quietly: "I don't have money and can't afford to stay in the inn."

“…”

Yan Chixia felt the urge to laugh when she heard this sentence.

I really want to live a life of face.

He kindly gave the scholar money to stay in a hotel. The scholar was unwilling to do so, but he followed him to Lanruo Temple. This was not the case for death.

"Scholar, this is not the place you come!" Yan Chixia shouted.

"Why?" Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia with an innocent look on his face. "Master, I have no place to live. I heard that there is a temple here that can accommodate me, so I came."

"I don't allow it!" Yan Chixia said again.

"Why? I heard from others that this temple was surrounded by the imperial court and does not belong to anyone now."

Ning Caichen whispered.

Although his words were light, he understood the meaning very clearly.

This temple does not belong to anyone, everyone can stay.

Yan Chixia was choked by Ning Caichen, frowned, thought for a while, and said, "There are ghosts here!"

"The Taoist priest, the saint said, "I don't say anything about strange powers and turmoil..."

"Okay! You can live now!"

Yan Chixia finally was speechless and decided not to bother with the scholar.

This scholar is so annoying.

I am more angry today than he has been in the past month.

He needs to be quiet.

Lu Yun, who was standing beside him, looked interesting and asked with a smile: "If I remember correctly, I will speak strange powers and chaotic spirits from the chapter "Shuer" of the Analects:

Ye Gong asked Confucius about Zilu, but Zilu was wrong. Confucius said, "Why don't the daughter say that he is a human being, he is angry and forgets food, and he is happy to forget worries. He doesn't know that old age is coming." Confucius said, "I am not a man who knows it when he was born, but he likes ancient times and is quick to seek it." Zilu said, "I am very powerful and confused. Confucius said, "If three people walk, I will have my teacher: choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones."

Ning Caichen nodded, shook his head again, and was about to speak, Lu Yun continued to speak: "These words mean: Ye Gong asked Zilu about Confucius's character, but Zilu did not answer it.

Confucius said after learning, "Why don't you say: His character is that he forgot to eat when he is studying hard, so he is so happy that he forgets his sorrow and does not know that aging is coming."

The Master also said: "In fact, I am not a person born with knowledge, but a person who loves ancient culture and is diligent and quick to seek knowledge."

Speaking of this, the Master stopped talking, as if he was afraid that distraction would affect his concentration and thinking. After a while, the Master said: "If there are only three people in the group, then one of them must be my teacher. I chose his strengths to learn from, and I saw that his shortcomings were also my faults, so I corrected them."

Ning Caichen was stunned when he heard this. Even Yan Chixia was a little surprised. Obviously, Daoren Lu explained "Zi didn't speak strange powers and chaotic spirits" as: "Confucius stopped talking, for fear of using force to disperse the influence of concentration."

This is simply subversive...

"No, no, wrong, wrong sentence, not what the saint said!"

Ning Caichen thought for a moment, his face was extremely solemn, and he said, "What the Taoist priest said is wrong. It should be that Zi does not speak of strangeness, power, chaos, and gods, not Zi does not speak of strangeness, strange power and gods!"

When reading sentences like this, you must never be confused. Once you are confused, all the meanings will change.

"Zi doesn't speak, and the strange power is chaotic," and "Zi doesn't speak, and the meaning of "Zi doesn't speak, the power is chaotic, and the god is chaotic." is too different.

Lu Yun was too lazy to pay attention to the difference. He just came to his heart and said casually, without thinking about arguing with a scholar about the meaning of Confucian classics. He joked: "Even if Zi doesn't talk about ghosts, will ghosts not exist?"

"The Taoist Master said this is wrong!" Ning Caichen was still righteous and said. "The sage educated his disciples, and gentlemen should be in the heart. If they do not worship ghosts and gods with righteous thoughts, they must be controlled by ghosts and gods. Confucianism emphasizes the doctrine of the mean and takes humanity as the principle of practice. Even if there are ghosts and gods, they do not advocate pursuing and worshiping. If mindfulness fades, evil thoughts will be the master."

“…”

Lu Yun also has an impulse now.

The urge to beat this scholar.

I brag all day long, but today I have lost my boat...

This scholar makes sense...
