This god is really evil

Chapter 106 I'm So Greedy
Tai Shi Maoshu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his gaze was like two sharp swords that wanted to pierce Li Yan.

Chongyun and Ao Le couldn't help but feel nervous.

These days they were all busy with Ao Le's Dao heart problem and were not with Li Yan, but they didn't know that Li Yan actually visited brothels every day! Ao Le couldn't help but blame himself in his heart. If he could be with Li Yan, maybe he could stop him from doing such a ridiculous thing.

Xiao Chucai was truly shameless. Seeing that he had no other options, he even used his personal morality to attack Li Yan.

Master Qiande, Great Shaman Mu Yuan and others present at the scene were waiting to see Li Yan being punished with a mentality of watching a joke.

Everyone knows that Tai Shi Mao Shu became a great scholar of the time by annotating the Book of Rites. Li Yan, who is so rebellious and unruly, will obviously be severely punished. Liu Yunhe, who does not discipline him strictly, will also be affected!

Sure enough, Wang Mingren and Liu Yunhe also frowned slightly at this time, looking at Li Yan together, seeming a little nervous.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Yan laughed and said:

"Mr. Mao Shu is wrong. I don't go there every day. After all, sometimes I have to stay overnight."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked, especially Chongyun and Ao Le, who hurriedly grabbed Li Yan's clothes and told him to be careful with his words.

Xiao Chucai, Master Qiande and others showed an expression of gloating at this time. Li Yan was so arrogant that he was simply challenging Tai Shi Maoshu's bottom line!

Without waiting for everyone to react, Li Yan took a step forward and chanted loudly:

"Walking down and out with wine, the slender waist of Chu is light in my hand. After ten years of dreaming in Yangzhou, I have earned the reputation of being fickle in the brothel!"

As soon as the four lines of poetry came out, everyone present was stunned for a moment. Many officials and literati present were stunned. They only felt that this poem was wild and unrestrained, yet full of romantic charm, like a wisp of spring breeze that instantly swept across the winter streets, making people feel as if they could smell the warm fragrance of soft jade!
The stern expression on Taishi Maoshu's face suddenly collapsed, and he laughed:
"Good! Good! Good! The women in Chu do have slender waists. How do you know that I studied in Yangzhou when I was young? Yangzhou, a place of brothels, is really a good place! How can I show my romantic side if I don't visit brothels while studying? It's good to visit, it's wonderful to visit! I have to visit as much as I can!"

Wang Mingren and Liu Yunhe behind him also looked relaxed and smiled.

Although Tai Shi Mao Shu annotated the Book of Rites, he actually saw through the essence of rites. He was a person who was extremely unrestrained and uninhibited, and what he valued was being frank and natural. The reason they were nervous just now was that they were afraid that Li Yan would either stammer in denial or appear to be a lecher who was addicted to alcohol and sex. If they responded inappropriately, they would easily fall into the bad category.

But I didn't expect that Li Yan's poem was so brilliant and raised the brothel incident to such a high level!
Li Yan laughed and said:

"This poem is titled 'Sending Away My Feelings - Presented to Lord Mao Shu', and I want to present it to Lord Mao Shu!"

Although he went to brothels to collect the air of luxury, he naturally could not tell others about this, so he could not deny that he visited brothels. Instead, it would be better to be free and easy. Even if the other party was really unhappy about something, he didn't care. After all, he was not a Confucian or Taoist practitioner.

There are many old men who want to get him. One more old man won’t make much, and one less old man won’t make much.

But unexpectedly, the result was a blessing in disguise. Tai Shi Mao Shu was not a rigid person. Instead, he praised this matter highly. It would be better to give this poem to this interesting old man.

As expected, Taishi Maoshu was overjoyed and laughed loudly:
"Good! This poem is worthy of being passed down through the ages, and I can also leave my name behind. Good, very good! You are worthy of being my brother..."

Liu Yunhe on the side started coughing madly and said:

"teacher!"

Taishi Maoshu glanced at him, snorted, and then smiled and said to Li Yan:

"You are worthy of being my disciple! You are much more capable than your master!"

At this time, the old man was dancing around Li Yan, looking like he couldn't let go of him, which shocked everyone present.

I originally thought that Li Yan would be punished for going to brothels every day, so why was he praised?
Xiao Chu snorted coldly and said:

"I thought that Master Maoshu was a great scholar of etiquette, and he annotated the etiquette classics and taught the world. But now it seems that he is lenient with himself and strict with others, and he himself does not observe etiquette! How can the world view him as being so indulgent to his disciples?"

Hearing this, Taishi Maoshu's face darkened, he turned to look at Xiao Chucai and angrily said:
"How dare you say that, little brat! Bullshit! You know nothing about etiquette! Etiquette is the result of righteousness! The great righteousness of the world is the great etiquette. Knowing small etiquette but not great righteousness is impolite! Li Yan protects the lives of tens of thousands of people, which is the greatest etiquette. He is unrestrained and romantic, which is to abandon the common etiquette and obtain the higher etiquette. You are an unlearned person, and you are barking and showing off in front of our ancestor!"

Li Yan cheered:
"Good! Lord Mao Shu's insightful opinion should be made public!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials, scholars and even many common people present nodded slightly, looking as if they were being taught.

Mao Shugong was the commentator of the Book of Rites and had the final right to interpret the Book of Rites. Moreover, his words were profound and convincing. Many people's stereotypes about the study of rituals suddenly changed at this time.

Xiao Chucai was speechless after being scolded. His face was gloomy and he was shaking with anger, but he had no way to vent his anger. He squeezed out a word from between his teeth:

"go!"

He turned and left with everyone from the Xuanzhengyuan.

Tai Shi Maoshu was in an exalted position and could neither be defeated nor convinced. Staying any longer would only bring disgrace upon himself.

Seeing that Xiao Chucai had already fled away with his men in disgrace, even though Master Qiande and the great shaman Mu Yuan were unwilling to accept the result, they could only swallow their anger and return to the parade. After all, the parade of the Five Gods Festival was still going on.

The county magistrate Ding Youde on the side hurriedly invited Taishi Maoshu to come on stage to review the affairs. All the officials were very respectful at this time, fearing that they would do something wrong and be scolded by this great scholar.

Taishi Maoshu was not modest either, and sat down on the main seat with Li Yan, clearly coming to support Liu Yunhe. However, from beginning to end, he did not look directly at the parade team, but chatted with Li Yan about the three poems with a smile on his face.

Especially the poem "Sending Away My Feelings - Presented to Mr. Mao Shu", the title alone made his old face almost burst with laughter, and he kept praising this poem as at least a famous piece handed down from generation to generation. If he could get the poetry bell to ring three times, he must go to the mountain of books and sea of ​​knowledge to read it and make those old guys jealous.

After the processions of the five major temples have all passed, the next step will be the blessing ceremony of each temple, where they will bless the common people and believers in the streets. The officials of Qinghe County will also participate in the blessing, accept the grace of God, and have fun together with the people.

Everyone in the Imperial Observatory immediately stood up, without even looking at the blessing ceremony, and returned to the Imperial Observatory's office.

After entering the yamen, Li Yan, Chongyun Aole and the other two hurriedly saluted again and thanked Liu Yunhe and the other two for their hard work.

Taishi Maoshu put aside his previous wild look and looked solemn. He came to Ao Le and touched his spirit platform with his hand, frowning and saying:
"This child's Taoism heart is covered with dust, and it seems that his path of cultivation has been cut off, but his vitality has not been damaged. The connection with the Master of Ten Thousand Spirits is still there. This is different from the situations I have encountered before, and it is even more bizarre than Yun He's Taoism injury. It is really strange..."

Wang Mingren stretched out a finger, touched Aole's forehead, and said slowly:

"My mind is in a mess and I feel uneasy. It's as if I've been infected by an evil spirit, but there's clearly no evil spirit in me..."

Liu Yunhe also looked solemn at this time and said:

"Teacher, Mr. Akihito, is it really impossible?"

This time he hurriedly brought Tai Shi Mao Shu and Wang Mingren with him. In addition to wanting the two to meet Li Yan, another major purpose was to treat Ao Le's Taoist injuries.

He himself suffered greatly from Dao injuries, so he naturally understood how serious it was.

If it drags on for too long, Ao Le's cultivation will be completely wasted.

The most important thing is that the whole person's mind will be affected. Being in a daze is considered good, because maybe you will go crazy.

Aole shook his head slowly and said:
"Master Liu, Grandmaster, and Mr. Mingren, there is no need to bother with me. Since I have been abandoned by the Lord of All Spirits, it is not important whether I practice cultivation or not."

Taishi Maoshu sighed and said:
"You are indeed one of my disciples, a stubborn and tough guy."

After a pause, he continued:

"Now that things have come to this, the only thing we can do is see if we can ask for the Confucian Sage's Dao Yun. Although I don't know if this Confucian Sage's Dao Yun can be useful for the Dao injuries of the Master of All Spirits, I think it can at least alleviate some of the pain. After all, it is said that when the Confucian Sage was alive, he scolded the Master of All Spirits so much that he dared not go out..."

When these words were spoken, not only Li Yan, Chongyun, Aole, but even Wang Mingren and Liu Yunhe widened their eyes.

They seemed to have heard some incredible wild history!
Unfortunately, Taishi Maoshu did not continue to say this, but waved his hand and said:
"They are all unofficial histories, and cannot be taken seriously. Some even say that the Confucian sage once sold ditches... Yunhe, enter the mountain of books."

Liu Yunhe nodded and said to Li Yan, Chongyun and Aole:

"You three, protect the Dharma here."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the picture of the mountain of books and the sea of ​​learning hung in the air, revealing towering mountains hidden in the clouds, a mountain gate at the foot of the mountain, and a roaring sea surging on the side.

The sound of reading aloud came from this scroll.

Li Yan stepped forward and said:

"Master Liu, I will go with the three teachers."

Taishi Maoshu glanced at Li Yan and said:

"Well, it's hard to find a masterpiece. I guess you can't help much this time. But it's also good to let those old guys meet my good disciple...disciple-grandson."

He then grabbed Li Yan and Liu Yunhe, bowed together with Wang Mingren, and said:

"Your disciple, Taishi Maoshu, begs to enter the Mountain of Books."

The next moment, Li Yan felt his soul lighten, and he had already entered the sea of ​​books and learning with Tai Shi Mao Shu and the other two.

This place felt similar to the last time I came here, the only difference was that as Li Yan entered, a towering sword-shaped peak and a poem cloud in the mountain of books began to emit golden light, as if welcoming Li Yan's arrival. These were the mountain and cloud transformed from the poems "The Road is Hard" and "Miscellaneous Poems of Yi Hai".

Before Li Yan could react, ink characters with the scent of flowers emerged from his heart, floated up and soared into the sky.

It’s the poem “Sending Away My Feelings”!
"Dang——dang——dang——"

The poetry bell rang three times, and the famous poem was handed down from generation to generation!
Looking at the huge ink characters with the fragrance of flowers in the sky, and the very conspicuous words "Gift to Mr. Mao Shu" on them, Taishi Mao Shu laughed so hard that his beard trembled, and said:

"Good, good, good! Now I can make those old men jealous!"

As he was speaking, Li Yan raised his hand and pointed at the mountain peak that was transformed by "The Road Is Hard". The characters that made up the mountain peak suddenly changed, and a line of small characters appeared after the title of the poem:
The Road is Hard - Gift to Master Liu Yunhe
Taishi Maoshu's eyes trembled, and he murmured:
"I'm so greedy!"
