My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 197 How to say

Someone thousands of miles away thought of him, Zhou Xing would naturally not know, and there would be no phenomena such as sneezing.Of course, if he knew that a man was thinking of him, he might be about to sneeze or something, but his hairs would stand on end.

He didn't know Jordan's predicament thousands of miles away, and he was also a little embarrassed, but it was much better than Jordan's.

Since Huang Ang and Guo Gui were publicly sentenced that day, the title of Gao Qingtian that he had expected did not appear, and more people looked at him with a sense of alienation besides the previous awe.

As for Guo Gui's younger brother, Guo Wen, although his attitude towards him is more respectful, he can still feel that he no longer treats him with the closeness that he showed in his words and deeds before.And because he sent Guo Gui to the county government, he just saw Guo Wen these days, and felt uncomfortable, as if he had done something wrong to Guo Wen, as if he had done something wrong.

Even the mother and daughter that Guo Gui used means to occupy, after Zhou Xing did this, they were not as grateful as Hu E, but were at a loss, and then cried loudly that without Guo Gui, our mother and daughter are gone Rely on, and can't go back to the previous home, how should I live in the future.

Hu E was found hanged from a tree the day after his trial. She committed suicide.The mother and daughter that Guo Gui occupied were also found the next day when the mother committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, and the 14-year-old daughter was kneeling on the side of the road willing to sell herself in order to bury her mother.

This made Zhou Xing even more at a loss, doubting life even more, doubting whether his previous three views were right or wrong.

Faced with these results, poor Zhou Xing was completely confused.

He is just an otaku. He was educated by the government system of that world since he was a child, and he has some simple and simple world outlook values, some values ​​that he thinks are without any doubts.

Only now, he suddenly discovered that those simple values ​​​​contradicted each other, and he hadn't noticed it before.

This discovery made him really panic for several days.

"My lord, you did nothing wrong." Du Chou, who has been officially hired as his lord, explained him: "There is a saying in the "Book of Changes": the way of heaven is bright and the bottom is rich, and the earth is humble and upward. My lord, you are the king here in Bodao. You should follow the way of heaven. You are a minister of Shangluo, so you should follow the way of authenticity."

"Water?" Zhou Xing was puzzled when he heard this sentence for the first time, and couldn't help but spit out a language of that world, "What is the way of heaven? What does this mean?"

"Look, my lord, does God have feelings?"

"No." Zhou Xing shook his head and said.

"That's right. Heaven's deeds are permanent. It doesn't survive by Yao, and doesn't perish by Zhou. God doesn't give you more sunshine just because you're a lord, and doesn't give you less sunshine just because you're a tyrant," Du Chou said. There was a pause here, and after Zhou Xing nodded to indicate that he understood the truth, he continued, "Then what is the truth expressed by God?"

"It is fair, it is selfless, it is the whole, it is the absence of subjective feelings, it is the way."

Hearing Du Chou's words, Zhou Xing seemed to be busy in the darkness and a little light flashed in his heart, and then he wanted to search for it, but it was dark again.In a vague way, he understood something, but he just couldn't figure it out.

"My lord, you are like God to the people of our marquis. You only look at the whole, and don't care about individual joys, sorrows and joys. If you don't handle what Huang Ang does, everyone will follow Huang Ang's example." Ang, how will our Marquis State be governed in the future? How will it be run? If everyone is like Guo Gui and takes advantage of your status as the lord, do you think the people of our Marquis will follow Guo Gui's example in the future?"

"If you feel sorry for the woman that Guo Gui snatched and had no choice but to commit suicide instead of judging Guo Gui like that, Guo Gui and that woman would not have to suffer such a tragic fate, but what about the others? Everyone should learn from Guo Gui. What does it look like?."

"So, my lord, the way of heaven is bright. You only need to follow the way of heaven. God will care about the individual's wealth or poverty? Will he care about the individual's misery or luck? Will the individual care whether he hates God or whether he hates God or not?" Love God? There are permanence in the sky. When it should be summer, it will be summer, and when it should be winter, it will be winter. It will not change summer into winter just because some individual says that I am going to die of heat. right?"

At this moment, Zhou Xing was suddenly enlightened.

"Dare to ask, sir." Zhou Xing's attitude was even more modest: "What's the reason for being humble and ascending?"

I was really ignorant before, Zhou Xing lamented again in his heart.

The rough singing of the boatmen resounded on the vast river, and resonated in the ears of Jordan who came to Bodao alone.

"Who wrote this song? The artistic conception not only has a sense of vicissitudes and tragedy, but also reveals the meaning of indifference and tranquility. It is really wonderful."

Jordan tried all kinds of methods these days, and even got the support of his two uncles in his family, but he still couldn't implement it because of his father's firm opposition.

According to his father's original words: "Since your great-grandfather became a great Confucian in our Qiao family, everyone has studied the scriptures. I don't know that the starting point of this policy is to benefit the country and the people? But how can everything in the world be like people? Wish? The morals of the world have changed. From my father's point of view, this policy will not benefit the country, but will cause chaos. Everyone says that Deng'er, you will rejuvenate our Qiao family in the future, but from my father's point of view, your future Not only will it fail to rejuvenate our Qiao family, but it will lead our Qiao family to a road of no return."

Jordan couldn't convince his father, but he wouldn't be convinced by his father either.

"As long as we can rejuvenate the country and benefit the people, so what if our Qiao family suffers? When a man lives in the world, he should clean up the world, how can he only care about his own room!"

He didn't like Zhou Xing, very much.From the first time he saw Zhou Xing, he didn't like this person, for no reason, he just didn't like him.The education and training of his family from a young age allowed him to hide this dislike very well, at least on the surface.Although he didn't like the other party very much, and although he thought in his heart that what Zhou Xing did in Bodao was nonsense, there was one thing he was sure of about Jordan.That is, from those few things, it can be seen that this Zhou Xing is definitely a person who does not follow the usual path, and the things he does are also things that benefit the country and the people.So, after Luo Shang sent people to recruit Zhou Xing twice but failed, Qiao Deng volunteered to come to Bodao to invite Zhou Xing himself.

At this time, on the big river, looking at the vast river, listening to the unknown lyrics and music, the boredom of these days seems to go with the wind, and I feel comfortable again.

"Brother Du," there were two monks standing side by side on the side of the big boat, one was wearing a rank five brown robe and the other was wearing a rank six green robe.It was the sixth-grade green-robed monk who spoke at this time, "I heard that Gao Tinghou made this song?"

"Exactly." The fifth-rank brown-robed monk was Du Chou.This time, he went to Berkshire and invited his friend doctor Ling Pu to come to Bodao to sit in Zhou Xing's clinic, "Brother Ling, do you know the story behind this lyrics?"

"I would like to hear more about it." Ling Pu was obviously very interested in this.

"Didn't my lord sentence Guo Gui, who was in charge of my family, to death that day? After Madam found out, she was furious, saying that Guo Gui was a servant of the Jinyang royal family, and even if he was given death, it would not be your turn." Du Chou talked about his lord's scandal behind his back without any scruples, and said cheerfully, "Guess what happened afterwards?"

"I heard that Guo Gui was also handed over?"

"Yes, my lord insisted on removing Guo Gui's status as a servant before handing it over. Madam was naturally furious and didn't let my lord in for several days."

"Hahahaha." Ling Pu laughed loudly when he heard the words, "What does that have to do with this song?"

"In order to make amends, my lord specially asked the magistrate's wife to invite my wife to come to play on the river, and he sang this song on the river that day.

Qiao Deng over there has a profound cultivation base, and even in the roaring river wind, he listened to the words of the two of them verbatim.When he first heard that the lyrics and music were written by Zhou Xing, his already happy mood became not so smooth, and when he heard about the couple's affairs between him and Wang Tianyun, his mood became even worse.

Although he recently forced himself to forget about Wang Tianyun, this kind of thing is not something that can be forgotten just by saying it.The beautiful image of Jiange closing is still clearly visible in my heart, but Yi Ren is already married as a woman.

He took a long breath, suppressing his extremely uncomfortable irritability.Then I heard Ling Puqi say: "Why are there so few trackers? We have more trackers pulling boats in Jiangzhou than here."

"Originally there were quite a few people." But the boatman said, "Gaohou's construction has been going on these days. Not only is he full of white rice every day, but I heard that after the completion of the work, Gaohou will give a certain amount of money according to the speed and quality of the construction." Bonus. Many trackers have gone to Gaohou to work. It is much more comfortable than pulling boats here."

"Hmph, it's just a small favor." Jordan couldn't help thinking after hearing this: "Compared with the great things I have done to benefit the country and the people, it is like the moonlight compared to fireflies."

Several people waited for the boat to dock, each led their own horses and got off the boat.Du Chou and Ling Pu rode for a while, and seeing Qiao Deng following behind, they couldn't help asking, "Is this brother going to the Marquis of Bo Dao too?"

"That's right." Jordan screamed inwardly. When he was not on the ship just now, seeing that he was also a monk, the two of them intentionally or unintentionally made friends with him, but he was always arrogant, and after nodding, he stood proudly by himself. .Du Chou and the two saw him like this, so naturally they would not invite him again.At this time, he landed on the shore, and couldn't bear to ask the way, so he could only follow closely behind the two. "I just came here and didn't know the way to go, so I followed behind the two brothers, so it's not surprising that I still look at the brothers."

"Hahahaha." Du Chou laughed heartily when he heard the words: "When you go out, you are all brothers in the world. This little brother seems to be the first time to go out alone? My name is Du Chou, and now I am appointed as the Marquis of Bo Dao My master, Bo, this is from Jiangzhou, Berkshire, named Ling Pu."

"Oh, I've seen you for a long time." In fact, Jordan had never heard of these two people, and said politely, "My name is Jordan."

"Qiao Deng?" Du Chou and Ling Pu were shocked when they heard the name: "Qiao Deng from the Qiao family in Shu County?"

"It's right here." Seeing the reactions of these two people, Jordan's mood finally brightened again.

"It turned out to be the eldest son of the Qiao family in Shu County. It is a great comfort to see you today." Du Chou and the two of them clasped their fists and saluted on the horse sincerely: "Du once listened to the class under the ancestors for a period of time and benefited from it." There are so many, I still remember it in my heart. I haven’t visited for a long time, and I feel ashamed, but I don’t know how the ancestors are doing recently?”

"Meng Xiongtai asks, my ancestors are in good health, everything is fine."

With this relationship, the three of them immediately became acquainted with each other. After chatting and laughing for less than half an hour, Jordan saw two flat boulders more than ten feet high erected on both sides of the official road from a distance.

On one side it says: Welcome to the Marquis of Bodao!

One side reads: Welcome to the hometown of tea!

Seeing the puzzled faces of Qiao Deng and Ling Pu, Du Chou coughed a few times and said in a low voice with a little embarrassment: "This is what my lord meant, and I insisted on getting some people at the junction of the Hou Kingdom. this thing.

"When did this Bodao become the hometown of tea?" Qiao Deng was very dissatisfied in his heart, but seeing Du Chou's slightly embarrassed face, he finally suppressed this sentence in his stomach, "Is it a week trip?" What a fool."

He had just passed by on the horse, and when he turned around, he finally couldn't help laughing.It turned out that there were two lines of writing behind the two huge stones.

One side wrote: Welcome to visit next time!

One side wrote: I wish you a pleasant journey!
He couldn't help it, and smiled and said, "Fortunately, this word is really beautiful!"

"Ahem," Du Chou coughed dryly again, "I'm ashamed, ashamed, these words were written by Du."

Qiao Deng Duchou and the others walked for a while, and then saw the sound of people and dust flying not far from the left of the official road ahead, and a group of people were busy back and forth there.

The first thing that caught Jordan's attention was that many people were pushing a very strange vehicle. The vehicles were big or small, deep or shallow, and even flat.But most have only one wheel underneath.This completely overturns Jordan's impression that vehicles have two wheels or four wheels.Some of the workers were wearing tattered clothes, but most of them were shirtless, pushing a wheelbarrow with sand or stones in it, and put them in the corresponding places.

Du Chou obviously saw the curiosity of Qiao Deng and Ling Pu, and said with a hearty smile: "Those are called unicycles, and my master designed them himself. I didn't dare to think that one wheel can run. My master said that this is too official. Narrow, and even more muddy when it rains, he insisted on building another official road on the other side of the official road."

"Cultivating officialdom is a big project." Ling Pu frowned and said, "There are only a few people in your Marquis. He has made such a big effort, how long will he be doing this?"

"Hahahaha," Du Chou laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Brother Ling is sympathetic to the world, I understand very well. When I first heard my lord say that he wanted to practice officialdom, I immediately opposed it, saying that this manpower is simply not enough. Not enough. Since ancient times, only the government can organize enough manpower to build this kind of thing. Guess what my lord said?"

This time, not to mention Ling Pu, even Jordan was already aroused.It's just that with his arrogance, he naturally wouldn't open his mouth to ask.His mind was spinning wildly, thinking in his heart what he would do if he wanted to do this.He was thinking hard here, while Ling Pu had already asked over there: "What did your Gaohou say?"
