Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty Royal Family in Journey to the West

Chapter 7 Raising Virtue and Righteousness This chapter is free

The person who arrived was dressed as a scholar, walked with no force, and carried a book basket on his back. He was obviously an ordinary scholar traveling around, but he didn't know whether he was traveling or visiting friends and teachers. 【】

While Li Chong was thinking, he suddenly heard him announce his family name.This moment awakened Li Chong from his contemplation.

"Ning Caichen! Wait, why are you so familiar?"

Li Chong was about to return the gift.Suddenly woke up.

"No, Lan Ruosi, Ning Caichen, isn't this the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story? Khan! Didn't I really encounter these things? It's too bloody."

The deeds of A Chinese Ghost Story were almost ruined by TV. I didn't expect that I would encounter a real scene, which made Li Chong feel a little overwhelmed.

Ignore this bloody scene, but now I am looking forward to it.

I wonder what Ning Caichen looks like?Could it be that weak scholar, is Xiaoqian really beautiful, and what does that tree demon look like, is Yan Chixia really powerful?

Are TV and real scenes really the same?

These questions immediately attracted Li Chong's curiosity.

Because since Li Chong came to this world, apart from practicing martial arts and studying, he has never been out of the capital.So I haven't seen any monsters and monks, I didn't expect that they all gathered at once, can you not look forward to it?

As for safety, Li Chong wasn't worried. Although he was extremely weak now, he still had the power of death and ghosts, more than enough to protect himself. Besides, there was a hero Yan Chixia!

Since Li Chong had just been promoted to Martial Saint, his whole body was weak, and the vigor of those warriors was hidden deep in his body after becoming a Martial Saint, so now he simply wanted to be a weak scholar who only cared about studying and lacked exercise.

So there is no need to worry about Yan Chixia and the Dryad finding themselves, and they can completely spend their time in a realistic Chinese Ghost Story.

Thinking of this, Li Chong couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly remembered that Ning Caichen was waiting for his response!Suddenly came back to God.

When looking at Ning Caichen, he found that Ning Caichen was looking at himself strangely.At this point, Li Chong's face turned red.

Can't help but say.

"Brother Ning, I'm Li Chong. I thought of something just now, so I've been negligent. I hope you can forgive me."

Hearing Li Chong's explanation, Ning Caichen didn't delve into it, and looked at Li Chong and smiled.Li Chong also responded with a faint smile, the embarrassment just now was easily resolved.Both of them are well-educated people, so they don't care about this little episode.

At this time, Li Chong carefully looked at Ning Caichen in front of him. He had an elegant and delicate face. He was about double ten. His skin was fair and healthy, and his whole body exuded a faint scholarly atmosphere. He was more delicate and weak than he imagined.

Thinking of the words of Buttercup Xiaosheng, Li Chong couldn't help feeling that handsome guys are popular everywhere they go.

Sit down under the statue.In order not to be cold, and to deepen their understanding, Li Chong decided to speak first.

After all, the understanding of Ning Caichen in front of him is limited to what is recorded in the book, and the real Ning Caichen himself doesn't know at all.

Even though he believes that books are not as good as books, Li Chong still understands, which is one of the reasons why Confucianism advocates traveling.

"The people in the lower capital, this time, I got permission from my mentor to travel around the world and increase my knowledge. I don't know where Brother Ning is from?"

In order to increase Ning Caichen's favor, Li Chong took the lead in briefly introducing himself.

Because in this wilderness, no matter how upright and kind Ning Caichen is, he must be wary of a stranger, which is also human nature.

Looking at the elegant and smiling Li Chong, Ning Caichen relaxed his nervousness and said with a smile.

"My ancestral home is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This time I came to visit my tutor. Because of the long distance, I didn't plan the itinerary for a while, so I went to this wilderness. Fortunately, there is a temple here, otherwise I would have to sleep in the wilderness."

"Hehe, I am going to the Dongting area this time, and I just took this opportunity to travel and gain knowledge. Since we met in this wilderness, it is also a kind of fate."

Li Chong said with a smile, after becoming a Martial Saint, he is capable and introverted, coupled with his weak period, he is a complete weak scholar, and he is also very friendly when speaking.Soon he won Ning Caichen's favor.

The two of them got to know each other very quickly, and the topics gradually became more relaxed. From ancient principles, poems and songs, to real-time world, the two talked about it, expressing what they had learned.

During this conversation, Li Chong discovered that Ning Caichen was rich in knowledge, full of strategies, and his personality was gentle yet strong.

This surprised Li Chong.I didn't expect Ning Caichen to be so cheerful.

Ning Caichen is outstanding, but Li Chong is not bad either. In the past few years, apart from practicing martial arts, Li Chong has been reading and understanding. From the fact that he successfully joined the school of the great Confucian Wang Xiaotong, it can be seen that his knowledge is high or low.

After this conversation, the two of them suddenly had a feeling of sympathy and confidant and good friend when they met each other.

Some people will never become friends even if they are together for a lifetime, and some people will become bosom friends even if they are thousands of miles apart, and Li Chong and Ning Caichen are the latter.

After getting acquainted with it, Li Chong also gradually relaxed, and now he really wants to know whether Ning Caichen also has the idea of ​​adding a lamp to the so-called Yanfu.Are you also looking forward to those myths and stories about the scholar's affair with ghosts and foxes at night?

This is crucial to meeting Xiaoqian next time.Influenced by A Chinese Ghost Story, Li Chong's gossip mentality was immediately elevated.

I admire Ning Caichen for picking Li Chong, so I really want Ning Caichen to have an affair.

Looking at Ning Caichen, he said in a hippie way.

"Brother Caichen, in your temple in the wilderness, have you ever thought about red sleeves and lamps to read at night, accompanied by beautiful colors? Hehe."

Originally, Ning Caichen, who was having a lively conversation and was full of joy, immediately suppressed his smile when he heard Li Chong's words, and looked at Li Chong with a solemn expression.

This made Li Chong feel embarrassed, and looked a little embarrassed.

Feeling that he was too serious, Ning Caichen sat up slightly and spoke.

"Brother Li, we met by chance, but we hit it off right away. I admire Brother Li's talent so much that I consider him a lifelong confidant. Now that I hear Brother Li's words, I don't agree with them. If what I say offends Brother Li, why not I hope you will forgive me."

At this time, Li Chong also withdrew his hippie smile, straightened his body, and listened to Ning Caichen's words.

Seeing Li Chong's expression, Ning Caichen eased his expression.continued.

"Brother Li Chong, you are brilliant and full of knowledge. You must know that the master has said: If you don't speak, you will have strange power and chaos. We Confucian scholars should devote ourselves to reincarnation and human things, and think about the people of the world. How can we talk about such vain things? .”

Having said this, Ning Caichen looked a little lonely, and spoke again.

"Although this is the case, we also know that we cannot deny the existence of ghosts and ghosts in this world. These ghosts and ghosts are rampant on the earth, poisoning the people, or confusing or intimidating them. It will make the world's hearts unruly, turbulent and turbulent, and make hundreds of believers not think about progress. , utterly ignorant. We are doing our best now, but our Confucianism takes the world as our mission and educates the common people as our great cause.

The so-called red sleeves add lamps to study at night, and the ghost fox thing is to confuse students and prevent our Confucianism from harming our Confucian scholars. They are my great enemy of Confucian scholars.

Brother Li is my confidant, and now I heard that I still have such thoughts, Caichen has no choice but to persuade, if the words are inappropriate, I hope Brother Li will forgive me. "

Ning Caichen, who was sitting upright with his body upright, had an upright look on his delicate and fair face, and his words were full of pride. It was impossible to imagine that he was a weak scholar.

All this made Li Chong's heart freeze.

"Yeah, this is not my era anymore. Demons and demons are rampant here. Even the so-called immortals and Buddhas put profit first. Isn't it because Buddhism usurped the Great Tang Dynasty that I have to do my best to plan. Even the immortals and Buddhas are like this, Not to mention ghosts.

Those so-called ghosts, foxes, demons and scholars falling in love are nothing but ridiculous stories, and human beings are just wishful thinking.The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit. "

Hearing these words from Ning Caichen, Li Chong was also shocked. Everything he did was for himself, the common people in the world, and the people of Li. Powerful power, let yourself practice martial arts, then you must use this powerful power to create a vigorous career, use the power of the god of death, use martial arts to create your own world, and use martial arts that everyone underestimates to ask the world Xian Buddha who is a hero.

Thinking of this, Li Chong couldn't help but look solemn, stood up slowly, and bowed slightly to Ning Caichen.

"Brother Ning's lesson is that a good word from brother today is better than ten years of study, and Li Chong will definitely repent."

In fact, Li Chong can't blame him for having such thoughts, it's just that due to the influence of his previous life, coupled with the expectation of A Chinese Ghost Story, he lost his sense for a while.Hearing Ning Caichen's words, he suddenly woke up with a start, and tempered his thoughts.

Seeing that Li Chong was so solemn, Ning Caichen was overjoyed and hurried forward to help him up.

"Brother Li is worthy of being my confidant and good friend. The talented minister just doesn't want Brother Li to be deceived by other things and delay his studies. In this world full of immortals and demons, my Confucianism is always difficult. To realize the great harmony of the world, we must strengthen our beliefs. Fear, brave and diligent. Only then can we achieve the ideals of our hearts, and only in this way can we become great Confucians in the future and do our best for the common people."

Ning Caichen's words expressed his own ideals, to seek a stability for Confucianism and a foundation for the common people.

Looking at Ning Caichen's fair and delicate face, Li Chong suddenly felt that his image was much taller and majestic.

At the same time, the heart can't help but be full of pride, and I have to fight for the ideal of the heart, even if I die a hundred times, I don't regret it.

This small episode not only did not affect the relationship between the two, but greatly increased the goodwill between the two and deepened their friendship.

After some conversation, Ning Caichen became more interested, and took out a book from the book basket, and Li Chong carefully checked that it was "The Book of Changes".

Although "Yizhuan" was written by Confucian scholars, it also contains a lot of Taoist theories.

He uses the two concepts of yin and yang to represent two basic opposing forces in the universe. Yang means positive, dominant, aggressive, and masculine; revealing... can be synthesized as masculine; yin means negative, passive, defensive, female, hidden... ..., can be synthesized as femininity.The masculine nature is exactly the characteristic of Confucianism, and the femininity is the characteristic of Taoism; the opposition and integration between Confucianism and Taoism reflect the way of sympathy between yin and yang.

Therefore, although this book is famous and Confucianism is well known to everyone, few people study it, because they do not understand some Taoist theories, it is very difficult to read, and "Yi Chuan" is born out of "Yi Jing" and the content of "Yi Jing" is even more obscure. It is difficult to study this Yi Zhuan.

The reason why Li Chong is so familiar with them is because Master Wang taught them.But Mr. Wang Xiaotong is a famous Confucianist in the world. At that time, he and many of his colleagues sounded like they came from the clouds.

Unexpectedly, Ning Caichen studied this book alone, and Xiang Ning Caichen's eyes suddenly changed drastically.

"Brother Caichen actually understands "The Book of Changes"?"

"Ah, hehe, I made you laugh. I only read this wonderful book recently. After reading it, I was immediately attracted. It's just that the book has a lot of obscure knowledge, which has been difficult to understand, so I have been studying it non-stop. .

Recently, I heard that Mr. Ji Li Baiyao is proficient in history and knows the Book of Changes, so this time I visited him. After I went, I got the guidance of the teacher, and I understood many things. two.This book is so amazing.

I don't know how broad the "Book of Changes" will be. I heard that only Sheng Shenggong can study it thoroughly in this world. "

Listening to Ning Caichen's words, Li Chong's heart was shaken. Not to mention Ning Caichen's so much, but just talking about the distance between Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hebei. How difficult, what perseverance.

Doing all this is just to find out the knowledge of a book, just to be confused by that point.

All this had a great shock to Li Chong.It made Li Chong's mind sharpen a bit.

Looking at Ning Caichen with eyes full of respect, he was no longer the so-called A Chinese Ghost Story Ning Caichen who had an affair with him, but a Ning Caichen who was full of righteousness, integrity and resoluteness.

Taking a deep look at Ning Caichen, Li Chong knew that there must be one of the world's great Confucians in the future.

If you don't make friends like this, who else should you make friends with?

Although Li Chong didn't have arrogance, he was proud and awe-inspiring. There were only a few people of his generation in the capital who could catch his eye.

He is extremely cautious when making confidantes, he would rather be short than excessive, and has always sneered at the so-called confidant all over the world.

The friendship between Boya and Ziqi is so easy to get, those confidantes who are all over the world are at most just a generation of wine and meat.

I didn't expect to meet someone like Ning Caichen today. If I don't make friends, I have made enough mistakes. Wouldn't it be a pity in my life.

Concentrating now, he smiled at Ning Caichen and said.

"Caichen, you are too modest. I have dabbled in "The Book of Changes" once or twice, and there are many things that are not confusing. Now I just take this opportunity to ask you for advice. I wonder if Brother Ning can guide me."

Hearing Li Chong's words, Ning Caichen was overjoyed.

"Hehe, this is really great, just to learn from each other, come, sit here."

After speaking, Ning Caichen pulled Li Chong to his side to study and exchange.

At some point outside the main hall, the wind and rain had stopped, and it was pitch black, with several stone statues standing hideously in the dark night.

But in this dark environment, two girls in white clothes came gradually. Their hair fluttered, and their slender snow necks were white and soft, very moving.One of them has plump buttocks and a slender waist, with proud twin peaks and a peerless face.

The two shook their lotus steps and slowly approached the main hall. This is an extremely beautiful picture.

But if someone looked carefully, they would definitely be horrified, because these two people were not walking, but floating slowly.

"Sister Xiaoqian, there are two scholars living in this ruined temple today. I don't know what will happen to them. Hehe, maybe they will be fascinated immediately."

One of the women smiled lightly at the woman with peerless beauty beside her.

"Manny, don't talk so much, let's do everything in the past. I don't know what happened to grandma recently? There are more and more requirements for living souls. Hey, if this continues, the Xianjia will be alarmed sooner or later."

Hearing Manny's words, Xiaoqian said lightly, her tone full of sorrow and a trace of impatience.

"Yeah, grandma's demands are getting more and more, and she's not allowed to kill casually, she can only be lured, but how can so many people come to her door?" Manny also said worriedly with a trace of dissatisfaction.

Then he changed his tone.

"But we don't have to be afraid of recruiting monks and immortals. We are all tempted. Those people didn't die at our hands, but at the hands of their own demons."

"In any case, we are all involved, and we cannot escape the blame. Let's not discuss these, let's go."

The two came lightly to the outside of the hall.But why didn't he dare to go halfway, as if there was something terrifying inside.

"Sister, who do you think is enshrined in this hall? Why is it that every time you approach this place, you will have a feeling of being out of your wits? A dilapidated temple that has been abandoned for thousands of years and a dilapidated statue of a god make our hearts go away. Terrifying. I don't even dare that idol sometimes."

Looking at the main hall, Manni said with fear in her eyes.

"I don't know who it is? Grandma once told us to respect him and not to make mistakes at will."

Xiaoqian also spoke, her tone was flat but respectful.

"Hey, that's not right, the terrifying coercion seems to have disappeared today."

Suddenly Manny said in surprise.

"Yeah, I feel it too, but don't make mistakes, remember grandma's words! Throw the gold ingots in."

Xiaoqian still had a calm expression.

Li Chong and Ning Caichen, who were exchanging ideas, suddenly heard a sound.

Go to where the sound is coming from.

Two big golden ingots landed in the hall.

After raising his head, Ning Caichen's eyes were extremely flat, as if he was on a worthless stone, and then continued to read.

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Li Chong's mouth.

"Is it time for Xiaoqian to appear?"
