Qin Shi Mingyue Taoist Master Uncle
Page 740
The man's back was facing him, but his figure was slightly thin and his hair was also gray, so he should be an old man over seventy years old.
And he was wearing plain coarse clothes, like an ordinary old man.
Seeing this, Tianming also breathed a sigh of relief, the person in front of him should be no threat.
At this time, the old man turned around, looked at the former and said, "You're awake."
Seeing the gentle and calm face of the old man, Tianming didn't feel any hostility, so he couldn't help letting go of his guard.
He asked, "I don't know how to call the old man?"
Hearing this, the old man replied, "My surname is Mi. I used to be from the state of Chu. Later, I came to Yinyang's family for some reasons."
Hearing this, Tianming asked, "I don't know why senior is here. Could it be that he was also arrested?"
The old man smiled slightly, and replied, "It's not like he was arrested, maybe it was God's will."
Tianming frowned slightly, he didn't quite understand the meaning of the other party's words.
"What deal?"
Hearing the question, the old man did not answer directly, but asked, "Are you interested in listening to me tell a story?"
Tianming nodded, "Please tell me, old man."
There was a look of reminiscence in the eyes of the old man, and then he said, "There was once a man who was knowledgeable and talented. He was quick and intelligent. He had the world in mind, was upright, and had great ambitions.
Afterwards, this person was appreciated by the king and stepped into the officialdom, determined to be a courtier who pleaded for the people and helped the country. "
Hearing this, Tianming said, "This person is very nice, what happened after that?"
The old man went on to say, "Although that person has the ambition to serve the country, he has been repeatedly excluded because he is unwilling to join forces with other officials.
But fortunately, the king at that time was also a little relaxed. Although he alienated this person, he was still retained.
But then some things happened. The country was defeated, and the king didn't listen to dissuasion, and finally died in another country.
After the king died, the new king came to the throne, but the new king was fatuous and incompetent.
And that person was also removed from his official position because of his speech, and exiled to other places. "
"Then, the country was defeated in a war, losing nearly half of its land, and even the country was captured. The new king fled in embarrassment with many ministers."
Having said that, the old man couldn't help showing a wry smile.
"What's next?"
Tianming continued to ask.
"Next, that person also learned the news of the fall of the capital, and was heartbroken, and then threw himself into the river."
The old man replied.
Hearing such an ending, Tianming couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.
His nature is pure and kind, and he felt uncomfortable when he heard that such a good official was not reused, but threw himself into the river to die for his country.
"He was a good man and shouldn't have died like this."
But at this moment, the old man continued, "The story is not over yet, and this person is not dead..."

"That person is not dead."
Hearing this, Tianming was a little surprised, and asked, "Didn't he commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, did he swim up by himself?"
The old man shook his head slightly, "Since he wanted to die, he would not seek to survive. The reason he survived was because he was saved by others."
"It's good that he didn't die. Such a good person shouldn't just die like this."
A smile appeared on Tianming's face, and then he asked, "Then what happened next?"
The former stepped forward and took two casual steps, saying, "The man jumped into the river, and when he was about to drown, a fisherman passed by with a fishing boat, salvaged him, and saved his life."
"Good people are rewarded, such a coincidence is also a blessing."
Tianming said with some emotion.
The old man said, "This is not a coincidence, the reason why the fisherman rescued the man was because the two had met before.
When they met for the first time, the fisherman knew that the man was world-weary, and although he tried to dissuade him, it didn't help.
So after that, he often wandered on the river in a fishing boat, which saved the man's life. "
Tianming said, "The fisherman is really a kind person, he only wants to save others."
The old man smiled when he heard the words, "A good person? It doesn't count. The reason why the fisherman saved him is because he wants to use it for himself."
"Could it be that the fisherman asked that man to fish for him?"
Tianming asked.
The old man shook his head, then looked at him and said, "Do you know what the real identity of the fisherman is?"
"What is the identity of the fisherman?"
