Zongwu: A hundred-year-old Confucian saint was exposed, shocking the master

Chapter 12 I said, saints never die, thieves never stop!

However, even if Chen Mu said so, Nangong Pushe still didn't believe it.

"Old sir, how old are you this year?"

This disagreement, so I started to ask for advice and chat about homework.

"Uh, let me think about it." Chen Mu didn't care, pretended to ask, and then said to Nangong Pushe:

"I don't remember how old I am, but I remember that I have been a sweeper in this library for 100 years."

"What? You've been sweeping here for a... hundred years of... land?"

"Yes." Chen Mu looked at Nangong Pushe's staring eyes, and couldn't help being a little funny: "Girl, didn't I scare you?"

"Ah, this..."

Although embarrassed to admit it.

But it was really scary.

"You are over 100 years old, why do you look like... seven or eighty years old?"

"Hehe." Chen Muxin said, of course you can't see my oldest appearance, now that my cultivation base is getting deeper and deeper, I'm rejuvenated.

"Old man, let me ask you a question, with your knowledge and ability, don't you feel bored to sweep the land here for 100 years?"

"If a person like you goes out, he can casually show off his talents. The prime ministers of several great empires can do it, right?"

After seeing Chen Mu's talent and gaining benefits, Nangong Pushe didn't just treat Chen Mu differently, but admired him very much.

"Ah, girl, if I just don't like going out to be a high-ranking official, maybe you won't believe me."

"Well, let me tell you a story."

"Okay, I feel that every word the old man said contains the truth of the world." Nanguan Pushe said happily: "It's better to listen to the story."

After all, stories are much more vivid and interesting than telling the truth directly.

Nangong Pushe's mother also told her stories when she was a child, so she really misses it a little at this time.She even faintly found a kind of trust in Chen Mu that can only be felt in relatives.

"I heard that in the ancient state of Chu, there was a tortoise that lived for three thousand years and died."

"The king of Chu respected it very much. He wrapped its tortoise bone with brocade silk and satin, put it in a precious box, and placed it on the temple of the Chu Kingdom's ancestral temple."

"But Miss Nangong, do you think this tortoise would rather leave its skeleton to show its dignity and die, or would it rather live in the mud and drag its tail?"

Suddenly came a rhetorical question: "Of course it is better to die than to live."

This time, the smile on Chen Mu's face was not so weak, but with a hint of warmth:
"That's right, girl, I'm that old turtle who likes to crawl in the mud instead of being enshrined in a temple."

He was talking about the old tortoise, not the god tortoise.

Moreover, the meaning is very clear, becoming a high official of a big country is like that dead tortoise. Although the status is lofty, it has no soul.

If you continue to live in the mud, although you don't have a high status, you can live freely.

After Nangong Pushe finished listening, he couldn't help laughing: "Sir, you are really a strange person, but if you are such a great talent, you are really buried if you are only a house sweeper."

"This is a personal choice. I just want to be happy. How can I say whether to bury it or not?"

"Well, sir is right." Nangong Pushe nodded happily.

"Girl, I think you are also a practitioner. You just defeated the inner demons and your cultivation has improved a step further, so I will say a few more words to you."

"Whether it's Zhang Fuyao 800 years ago, Lu Zu who ruled the world for hundreds of years, or Wang Xianzhi who sits in Wudi City today, their earth-shattering cultivation is all in exchange for countless solitude and loneliness. of."

"If you want to be a master, you must have a heart that can endure loneliness, because the strength of a top master is built with loneliness and sweat."

"Remember, don't lose your sincerity."

"Okay, I'm going to sweep the floor."

Thinking about this question, girl, of course Chen Mu wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

There is a famous saying among fellow Confucianists that it is difficult to raise a villain and a woman. Chen Mu now also feels that this sentence is very reasonable.

He didn't want to have too many causal entanglements with this rouge leader who was so beautiful that he could kill both men and women.

Otherwise, if one day he becomes the man behind the most beautiful woman in the world, it will be difficult for him to keep a low profile even if he deliberately keeps a low profile.

"Sir, let me help you sweep the pavilion!"

Nangong Pushe may have felt that thanks to Chen Mu's guidance just now, he was able to realize something and improve his cultivation.

Therefore, with a whoosh, he performed a move of Apparatus, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of Chen Mu, wanting to take the broom in his hand.

Chen Mu didn't want her to touch the broom.

But he didn't want to show his cultivation to this problem girl, so he didn't move.

However, the guy who ate was snatched by her, so how can she be a court sweeper?

However, good men don't like to hit women.

Chen Mu still decided to "convince people with virtue".

As a time traveler who has studied for a hundred years, Chen Mu immediately thought of a hundred ways to deal with Nan Guanpushe.

How can it be so rare for a mere problematic girl to get him?
"Cough, girl."

"First of all, I am very grateful for your enthusiastic help."

"However, sweeping the cabinet and sorting books is the work of the old man, and the old man regards work as a kind of practice."

"And practice is to rely on one's own practice and comprehension with one's heart."

"You can help me sweep the pavilion, but you can't help me practice."

"So I kindly accept it."

"This..." Seeing that Chen Mu's reasons for refusing her help were so clear and simple, Nan Guan Pushe had no choice but to let go.

Otherwise, it would be a crime to hinder the old man's cultivation by doing bad things with good intentions later.

"it is good."

Chen Mu nodded, and said in his heart that you have also obtained the benefits, so it should stop this time, right?Nangong Pushe...

However, just when Chen Mu thought that his Golden Chan escape method was about to succeed, Nangong Pushe seemed to remember it, and then suddenly stopped him from behind:

"That... old gentleman."

Chen Mu had no choice but to politely turn around again: "Girl, what else do you want?"

Nangong Pushe saw that her peerless appearance, which everyone loves and blooms in front of others, does not have the slightest charm bonus in front of Chen Mu, and she couldn't help but feel a little helpless in her heart.

Could it be that the old gentleman who has been sweeping the Zangshu Pavilion for 100 years has become so ascetic at this time that he has no desires or desires?
A tall man is a tall man.

In this academy, the master is one of the people who are not at all moved by her peerless beauty, and now there is another court sweeper.

This academy is really not to be underestimated.

Thinking of this aspect, Nangong Pushe spoke to Chen Mu in a more respectful tone:

"Mister, I..."

"I want to meet the Confucian and Taoist sage in the academy, that is, Master's brother, you... oh, do you know him?"

"Uh, this..." Chen Muxin said, you silly girl, isn't it me who you are talking about as the master's brother.

Can I still not know myself?

It's far away in the sky and right in front of you, you don't need to look for it, you've already seen it...

In fact, Chen Mu pointed her so much just now, which is equivalent to revealing her identity secretly.

It's just that Nangong Pushe didn't turn his head around for a moment, and he didn't know the true face of the saint Lushan, so it's no wonder Chen Mu "lied" to her.

"The saint in the academy..."

"Well, he is Master's senior brother. I think you have been here for 100 years to scan the library... You should know him? Can you...can you introduce me?"

"Ha ha……"

That is to say, there are not many people coming to Zangshu Pavilion at this time, otherwise, if you have been in contact with this Nangong beauty for a long time, your identity will be exposed by other disciples soon.

Therefore, Chen Mu was already in a hurry to run away.

"Girl, I know Master, and I also know Master's brother."

"However, my status is low, so even if I know the saint, the saint may not give me such a big face as a house sweeper."

"This……"

Nangong Pushe has just arrived, and he doesn't understand how deep the water in this academy is. "

"Girl, actually, with all due respect, with your aptitude, as long as you don't lose your sincerity and practice hard, it's only a matter of time before you become number one in the martial arts."

"Therefore, you don't have to be obsessed with asking the sage for advice."

Hearing what Chen Mu said, Nangong Pushe felt flattered in his heart, after all, it was a compliment to her.

But on the other hand, she was unhappy again.

They have all arrived at the academy, how can they return empty-handed after entering Baoshan?

If you have the opportunity, you must ask Confucianism and Taoism sages for advice. This is a shortcut in practice. Maybe listening to sages is better than reading ten years of books!

Wouldn't that save a lot of time and avoid many detours?
"Girl, have you heard that saints don't die, but thieves abound?"

"what?"

"Old man, you... how dare you scold a saint?"

"What does the appearance of the saint have to do with the robber?"

Nangong Pushe felt that she was already bold enough, but in the academy, she still dared not scold Confucian and Taoist saints.

On the one hand, this is their territory.

On the other hand, sages are people who penetrate the heavens and the earth, and the heavens and the earth will talk about visions for them. If someone scolds him, it is said that their hearts can sense it.

If you offend a sage, it's already good if you don't get chased and killed. How can you dare to ask for advice in the future?
Before the revenge was avenged, she was as bold as a servant of Nangong, and she was afraid that a Confucian and Taoist saint would crush her to death like a small ant.

At that time, how could he have the face to meet his biological mother under the nine springs?

However, what shocked Nangong Pushe even more was that not only did Chen Mu not care, but he was even more serious.

"Ha ha……"

"Girl, don't be afraid, a real saint won't care about these small details with little people like us."

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and they think everything is a dog. The same is true for saints."

"Ah? This... This is the words in the Taoist classics." Nangong Pushe really convinced Chen Mu. A mere house sweeper doesn't even pay attention to Confucianism and Taoism saints?

"The saints set up a lot of moral rules, even laws, which are actually the rules and regulations set for the common people in the world, to restrict and restrain the common people."

"And those nobles in the palace or those who hold real power do not need to abide by those laws of morality, rules and regulations."

"Those people are actually thieves of the country and the world. They will only use the rules set by the saints to restrain and coerce the people."

"In this respect, the saint is an accomplice to the robber."

"That's why I said, saints don't die, thieves never stop."
