Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 23: Maintaining the integrity of nature and not burdening the body with material things

"Brother Youcai, Brother Youfu, who is the 'little tiger' that my aunt is talking about?" Yan Huan glanced at the rearview mirror.

Deng Youfu, who was sitting upright, folded his arms and frowned as he thought.

Important matters in the clan are usually decided by the aunt and the elders in the family. He and his younger brother Deng Youcai are not yet qualified to attend meetings in the ancestral hall. The aunt always only talks about the results of discussions and mostly keeps silent about some of the hidden secrets. She rarely mentions the personal relationships within the country. Deng Youfu really doesn't know who this "little tiger" is.

"I have never heard of such a person."

Yan Huan raised his wrist and looked at the golden “tiger” character carved on the sandalwood rosary and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Could it be that he is a character who does not appear often and is easily forgotten?

"Hmm~"

After thinking for a while, Yan Huan clapped his hands and roughly guessed who this "little tiger" was.

"Could it be that Ru Hu?"

Speaking of Na Ruhu, like the "witch" Guan Shihua, he is one of the top ten leaders today, and the youngest among them.

In today's world of extraordinary people, there is a universally recognized saying of "one top-notch and two heroes". Apart from the unrivalled Tiantong Taoist in the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain, there are the remaining "two heroes", one of whom is Ru Hu.

Wang Ai, one of the Ten Lords of the Wang Family, once said that the reason why Na Ruhu could become one of the Ten Lords today was not because of the gang of hooligans he suppressed or the power behind him, but simply because he was “good at fighting”.

Wang Ai also said that there are still people in this world who hope to challenge Tiantong Taoist Zhang Zhiwei through hard work, and Ru Hu is one of them, and Ding Shimaan, who is also one of the "two heroes", is another one. Apart from them, there is no one else.

From this, it is enough to see the terrifying power of this tiger.

A burly figure with a strong back and broad shoulders emerged in Yan Huan's mind.

"On the surface, Ruhu seems to be humble and able to judge the situation, but that's just an appearance..."

"The relationships among these circles are really complicated."

Yan Huan shrugged and put down his arms and wrists. This was not an unfounded guess on his part. The seating arrangement of the Ten Lords' meeting was quite particular. It was obvious that the relationship between the "witch" Guan Shihua and Na Ruhu was closer.

Moreover, the surname "Na" is one of the eight major surnames of the Liaodong Manchus. After this series of speculations, it is even more surprising that he has no connection with Guan Shihua.

"Do you want me to call and ask grandma?" Deng Youcai suggested. If they gave the token to her, and then they got into trouble and couldn't find anyone to use it, it would be a waste of money.

"It's okay, don't bother her. I guess who it is."

"Hey, brother, you are very smart and can guess everything." Deng Youcai said with a smile.

Yan Huan shook his head. "When it comes to being smart, no one is smarter than Brother Youcai. It's just that you didn't find the right balance, so you didn't get as far as Brother Youfu."

Deng Youcai scratched his head awkwardly, "What does this mean?"

"What does this mean, brother? If I find the right degree, I can beat you."

"Hey!" Deng Youfu leaned aside in disdain. "We have been talking about this since we were little, but did you listen to my advice?"

"I'll listen. I've been very obedient since I was a child. Brother, please tell me about it!"

Deng Youfu took a long breath and closed his eyes.

Seeing that he was ignored, the man with shifty eyes leaned forward and put his hands on the passenger seat cushion.

"Brother, please talk to me, don't play dumb with me!" Deng Youcai smiled innocently, revealing a few newly-installed golden teeth.

Yan Huan glanced at the rearview mirror and smelled a strong smell of smoke at the tip of his nose.

"Brother Youcai, you are quick-witted, free-spirited, and unconstrained. You don't consider rules and regulations, and you think broadly about spiritual practice. This is your advantage. As for where the limit is? Let's put it this way, you are free by nature. Once you exceed it, it's indulgence, so you smoke, drink, play cards, sing karaoke, go to bars, go to nightclubs... Of course, as for foot washing or something else, I don't know... ""You are a little free, but you are too free."

“Hehehe!” Deng Youcai smiled awkwardly, “Then I’ll keep it to myself in the future.”

"Come on, if you are really willing to accept it, you wouldn't have made no progress at all in these four years." Deng Youfu bluntly criticized his brother.

In this world of fancy, lights and wine, some temptations cannot be resisted with just a word, and some habits cannot be quit with just a determination.

"Brother, I'm serious this time. It's time to show you my determination."

"Okay, okay, I'm listening! If I hadn't beaten you so hard in the early years, you would have gone astray a long time ago. You wanted to have a pink hedgehog haircut, but your family didn't allow it, so you threatened to join Quan Xing. Have you forgotten who this person is?"

When brothers quarrel, the most feared thing is that they use negative information from their middle school and non-mainstream periods to attack each other.

After hearing this, Deng Youcai was a little furious, but he didn't dare to lose his temper in front of his brother.

"Don't talk nonsense about this, brother! Quan Xing is a bunch of lunatics! I was just angry at that time, can I really join them?"

Deng Youfu pushed his glasses up, and veins popped out on his forehead.

"Don't say it. If I hadn't twisted your mouth, you would have almost shouted that sentence."

Quan Xing is an evil sect hated by everyone. There are no requirements to join. One can join by just shouting and declaring that he is a member of Quan Xing.

"Heh." Yan Huan glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled happily. He thought he was worthy of being his brother, as he could make the serious Deng Youfu so happy.

Hu Sixi, who was driving, also laughed out loud.

When they heard the laughter from the passenger seat and the driver, the Deng brothers blushed, knowing that they had lost face, and then they kept silent.

After a moment of silence, Deng Youcai immediately wanted to break the awkward situation, so he leaned forward and asked, "My friend, do you know Quan Xing?"

"I know." Yan Huan answered without hesitation, "There are pure bad guys, and there are also people who have gone astray."

Keep your nature intact and do not burden your form with material things.

Speaking of Quan Xing, this group of demons said that they adhered to the ideological concepts of Yang Zhu, a sage from the Warring States Period.

If someone sacrifices even a hair to benefit the world, I will not do it; if the whole world serves me, I will not take it. If everyone does not sacrifice even a hair, and no one benefits the world, the world will be in order. - Yang Zhu, Liezi

The literal meaning of this sentence is easy to understand. It means that if pulling out a hair from my body could benefit the whole world, I would not do such a thing. But if the whole world could benefit me, I would not want such a benefit either.

Do not take a penny from others, and do not harm others in the slightest. If everyone can abide by their duties, restrain themselves and be cautious in their own actions, then there will be no need for benevolence, morality, and severe laws, and the world will naturally be governed.

There is nothing wrong with Yang Zhu's thoughts, but he just has too high expectations for people's thoughts.

As Zhang Zhiwei, a Taoist from Tiantong, said, this concept is too shocking and it is easy for ordinary people to deviate from it once they enter this path.

The saddest thing is that most people in this world are vulgar.

Therefore, "whole nature" has gone astray. Some people say "whole nature preserves authenticity and does not burden the body with material things", but in fact they indulge in desires and are selfish. They only mention "not pulling out a single hair" but do not care about "not taking a single cent". This is extremely hypocritical and cunning.

The present-day "whole nature" is not at all worthy of the word "whole nature" mentioned by Yang Zhu.

“Ah…” Hearing this, Deng Youcai scratched his head, “But brother, after all, aren’t people who have gone astray bad people? It’s the same!”

Yan Huan leaned against the car window and casually glanced at the early summer scenery on the roadside.

You are right. People who have gone astray are all bad people.
