Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 126 Peach Blossom Spring

Lu Zheng walked out of the clinic slowly and saw Yang Song still waiting for him outside.

"Master Lu!"

Yang Song came forward with a smile, and seeing that Lu Zheng had nothing in his hands, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lu, don't you want those medical books?"

"Everything is packed up." Lu Zheng smiled and patted a small leather bag on his waist.

Yang Song was stunned for a moment, then quickly thought of something.

He then smiled and said, "I was told that Doctor Bai is very easy to talk to!"

"Indeed, I'd like to trouble Captain Yang to take care of me in the future." Lu Zheng said.

Bai Zhi is a monster of the third realm, and no one in this town can be more powerful than him.

Lu Zheng was afraid that some ignorant people would cause trouble and end up getting into trouble.

Lu Zheng just gave Bai Zhi four words, which was also a reminder for her to behave well.

Hearing this, Yang Song patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master Lu. Madam Bai is quite popular. No one in this town has been so foolish as to cause trouble for her."

"That's good." Lu Zheng nodded. "I've got the medical book, and I need to study more. Captain Yang has some official business, so he doesn't need to accompany me. I'm ready to leave."

Seeing this, Yang Song said, "Then Mr. Lu, please take care. If you come to town again in the future, I will treat you well!"

"Okay, goodbye!" Lu Zheng bowed and strode away.

"Take care, Mr. Lu!" Yang Song clasped his fists and watched Lu Zheng leave.

Lu Zheng quickly walked out of the town and chose a road to go.

He raised his hand and a medical book appeared. He opened it and studied slowly.

Lu Zheng read while walking, and did not delay his journey, and studied very seriously.

With some knowledge accumulated in his previous life and Lu Zhengxiao's photographic memory, this medical book did not seem difficult to read.

Lu Zheng watched with great interest. As he walked along, he unknowingly went deep into the mountains.

Looking from a high place, Lu Zheng confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the direction he was walking in, and he was indeed heading north.

He could even see a big river flowing through the mountains in the distance.

You can walk along the river to Changchuan County, and then take the county road back to Kaiyang County.

However, it was a little late today, and it was a bit late for him to cross the mountains and reach the river.

Lu Zheng looked around again, and there was no one around.

A valley not far away is dyed with a touch of pink, and it is a flower forest that embellishes this place.

Lu Zheng took a look and went down the mountain to the flower valley.

Walking along a stream, we soon arrived outside the flower forest.

Lu Zheng looked carefully and found that it was actually a peach blossom forest.

At this time of the year, the peach blossoms are already past their peak blooming period.

But this peach forest is full of pink peach blossoms, which are gorgeous, fragrant and beautiful.

On some peach trees, not only are peach blossoms blooming, but they also bear large peaches.

Some birds stood on the branches, pecking at the ripe peaches, chirping and making a lot of noise.

Lu Zheng came to the outside of the peach blossom forest and looked at the forest. He felt inexplicably comfortable in his heart and his mood became peaceful and relaxed.

He looked around carefully, but there was nothing special about him.

Walking further in, there are weeds growing between the peach trees, with no signs of having been cleared, as if this is a wild peach forest.

As he walked, Lu Zheng came out of the peach blossom forest.

However, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Looking back at the peach forest behind him, Lu Zheng stepped in again, ready to take a good stroll.

Fluffy flowers gradually desire charming eyes.

After walking back and forth several times, Lu Zheng finally discovered something was wrong.

He felt that he had only wandered around the periphery of the peach forest and had not gone deep into it at all.

Every time he felt he was going further in, he would come out from a certain place.

The peach forest was much wider than the path he had walked and the peach trees he had seen along the way.

"Formation? Or am I just directionally challenged?"

Lu Zheng touched his chin and thought, he felt that it was not his fault.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zheng entered the peach blossom forest again and stood under a tall peach tree.

He had passed by this lush peach tree many times. Of course, it was just an ordinary peach tree.

Lu Zheng stood at the foot of the tree, bowed towards the empty space and said, "My name is Lu Zheng. I happened to pass by here and on a whim decided to go into the forest to admire the flowers. If I am bothering you, please let me know. I will leave now."

The sound is clear and resonates among the peach blossom forest.

Some birds pecking at the peaches on the branches tilted their heads when they heard the human voice, and then continued to enjoy the peaches.

Lu Zheng stood there waiting for a long time, but there was no response. The entire peach blossom forest remained the same as usual.

It seems that I am overthinking it? Lu Zheng couldn't help but think.

He walked back and forth several times, but did not detect any aura or signs of human, demon or ghost activity. It must be a wild forest.

Seeing the sunset, Lu Zheng decided to spend the night here.

Lu Zheng picked a big red peach, sat against the tree, opened his mouth and bit off a piece of peach flesh.

The flesh is crisp and sweet, full of flavor and leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

It is extremely rare for wild peaches to be so delicious.

Lu Zheng felt that Tao Lin was extraordinary and not as simple as it seemed.

After eating a peach, Lu Zheng felt full.

"This place is truly a paradise..."

Lu Zheng felt emotional and had the urge to stay here for a while.

After traveling to so many places, staying here made him feel particularly at ease. Lu Zheng stood up and picked up some dried peach branches from the surrounding area and lit a small fire.

It was a dark night, and Lu Zheng was sitting cross-legged beside the fire, quietly flipping through a medical book, occasionally taking up a pen to write down his thoughts and notes.

The peach blossom forest was quiet and peaceful. Apart from the occasional chirping of insects, there were no other unusual sounds from wild animals.

There was a gentle night breeze, blowing the peach blossoms to the ground.

Lu Zheng studied very hard until late at night, when he closed the medical book and looked a little sleepy.

He slightly sideways glanced at the deep peach forest.

I always feel like someone is watching me in the darkness, but it is dark at night and I can't see anything.

I didn't sense any malice or danger, maybe it was just my illusion or I was too cautious.

"what……"

Lu Zheng couldn't help but yawn, put away the medical book, leaned against the peach tree and closed his eyes to rest.

Smelling the subtle fragrance of peach blossoms, Lu Zheng fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.

In the early morning, the warm sunshine shines on the peach forest.

The early birds sang happily on the branches, eating peaches and pecking at insects.

Lu Zheng woke up slowly, feeling refreshed.

He stood up and stretched his stiff waist, then took out a classic and read it in a low voice, his literary aura slowly emanating from him.

Reading some classics of sages every day is a compulsory course for him.

If he could learn a thing or two from it, it would also help him improve his literary taste.

"Mencius said, 'Everyone has a heart that cannot bear to see others suffer... From this perspective, if one has no compassion, he is not a human being; if one has no sense of shame and disgust, he is not a human being; if one has no sense of courtesy and humility, he is not a human being; if one has no sense of right and wrong, he is not a human being...'"

After reading an article, Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh, "What an inhuman being! As the sage Meng said, there aren't many people in this world who can truly be called human!"

"You should be a gentleman Confucian, not a villain Confucian!"

A soft and thin voice came from a distance.

"Ok?"

Lu Zheng glanced sideways upon hearing this, but saw no one.

The sentence just now was what Confucius said to his disciple Zixia, asking Zixia to be a gentleman and Confucian scholar, and not to be a villain.

I didn't expect someone to say such words to me.

Lu Zheng said again in a clear voice: "Elegant and refined?"

"Then gentleman!"

The same voice came again, but it sounded a little childish, not like that of an adult.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng became more curious about the person who spoke.

He recited the words of the sages again, and then released all his righteous energy without reservation.

A gentle breeze blows through the peach blossom forest, and the peach blossoms flutter in the air, creating a beautiful scene.

“The Master said, ‘To learn with a constant practice, is it not a delight?’”

Not far away, a small figure appeared on a peach tree.

It was a little person half a foot long, wearing an emerald green dress, with an exquisite appearance and delicate features, and was very lovely.

Lu Zheng could clearly see that there were some fluctuations of cultural energy on the other party.

Confucianism is a path that can be practiced not only by humans but also by demons and ghosts.

But there are few demons and ghosts who would not follow their own path of cultivation, but instead practice the Confucian way.

Moreover, those non-human beings who have the talent to practice Confucianism and Taoism are extremely rare.

This little person in front of me must be a plant spirit, but he can actually understand the classics of sages and cultivate a literary spirit. It is really rare.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but admire him and was curious about how the other party cultivated his literary energy.

Lu Zheng looked at the little person and saluted, "My name is Lu Zheng, nice to meet you... young lady."

Judging from the appearance and dress of this little person, she should be called a girl... Lu Zheng was not too sure.

The little man also saluted Lu Zheng and said in a serious manner: "I am, I am..."

The little guy was holding it in there for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out who he was.

She finally said, "Greetings, sir!"

A slight smile appeared on Lu Zheng's lips. It seemed that this person had not yet given himself a name.

"Miss, are you the owner of this peach blossom forest? I am sorry for disturbing you, please forgive me." Lu Zheng said.

The little guy shook his head when he heard that, thought for a moment, and said crisply, "It's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar!"

Lu Zheng felt that this little guy didn't seem to be very good at communication.

He couldn't help but ask again, "Isn't the girl the owner of this place?"

The little man shook his head again, then jumped off the peach tree and walked into the peach forest with small steps.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng hurriedly followed.

He was afraid of scaring the other person, so he didn't follow very closely.

Two people, a young boy and an adult, were walking in the woods where peach blossoms were falling.

Lu Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and he found that he had never seen these peach trees before. He was indeed deep in the peach blossom forest.

Sure enough, we were just circling around before... Lu Zheng thought to himself.

He still didn't find anything strange. He just needed to follow the little man and he could successfully enter the depths of the peach forest. This place was truly mysterious and extraordinary.

After a while, Lu Zheng saw a bluestone road paved in the woods.

There is a sparse peach forest ahead, and a wooden house is looming.

There is a house deep in the forest.

A hidden master? Lu Zheng inexplicably thought of a certain type of person.
