The Way of the National Teacher

"Oh?" Qu Di grabbed her hand and looked at her deeply, "Don't you like women, don't you?" As he spoke, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, wrapping her waist tightly, and the two of them Sticking together, Chu Li immediately froze.

Qu Di said, "The national teacher hasn't tried it, how do you know you don't like it?" About to kiss her, Chu Li tightened his heart, subconsciously turned his head, Qu Di's soft lips brushed her cheek, Chu Li The nerves were tense and he reacted, "Princess!"

"Huh?" Qu Di hooked her lips and smiled, she liked to tease the shy Master Guoshi more and more.

"Princess," Chu Li calmed down more and more. She didn't push Qu Di away, but looked at Qu Di with clear eyes, "Not only do I not like women, I also don't like men."

Surprised, Qu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "What?"

Chu Li smiled, "Princess, I'm not interested in this kind of thing." She said, "Love and desire are the two great calamities of human beings. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. This means that heroes can't pass the test of love and desire. Guan. I learned from the school of Lao and Zhuang, and I know that the Dao is one, and the principle of transforming all things. For me, all things have love, and love is in nature. Human desire is the most important thing. There are three corpses in people, and the corpse is decorated with flowers. The dead body tastes good, the dead body loves lust|desire. Adhering to the way of nature, you should be calm and desireless, calm and clear. Ignorance, greed, and anger are the enemies of cultivating virtue." She paused, then continued, "So what I seek is to seek the clarity of the heaven and the earth, the self-enlightenment of the human heart, the cultivation of the mind and the tranquility of nature."

She has a gentle demeanor, but she is self-made.It is as bright as the moon shining on the world, and its brilliance is like the wind blowing the wilderness.

Qu Di's expression was complicated. After looking at her for a long time, he suddenly felt ashamed. He felt as if some dirty thing had touched a piece of pure and beautiful jade.For a moment, he felt embarrassed, with a look of shame on his face, as if he was holding a piece of hot potato, neither loose nor letting go.

Seeing her embarrassment, Chu Li smiled comfortingly, and gently put his arms around her, "The princess is kind and righteous, and it is the blessing of the common people."

Hearing this, Qu Di froze, slowly let go of her hand, took a step back and looked at her intently for a long time, then suddenly let out a deep breath, bowed to her and saluted her, "National teacher."

The word "National Teacher" this time is obviously different from the tone of the past, it seems...too solemn.Chu Li looked at her suspiciously.

But Qu Di slowly straightened up, and said in a difficult tone, "National teacher, in the past, I was a shameless and rude person. The national teacher cares about the common people in the world, and I am ashamed of myself. I hope the national teacher will forgive me."

——Princess Shanggu has never had such a person who is always upright and clear as water by her side.Such a person is known all over the world without persuading her, and without being discouraged if she is wronged by the world. She stands out and brings clarity to those around her.Wash away all the lead, like beautiful jade emerging from the mud without being stained.

But Chu Li was still not used to being greeted like this, she felt uncomfortable, and quickly stepped forward to support Qu Di, "Princess, what are you doing!" Qu Di's actions almost made her think of Kou Qian immediately In short, Chu Li could never forget Kou Qianzhi's kneeling.Her mind was not on the normal path, and she always felt that Kou Qianzhi's kneeling made her unbearable and lost her life for many years.Seeing Qu Di's posture now, she was afraid that Princess Shanggu would also kneel down, so she immediately hugged Princess Shanggu tightly, "I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

Qu Di had mixed feelings in her heart, and seeing Chu Li's appearance, she couldn't bear it.She naturally knew what kind of censure and ending Chu Li, the national teacher, would face. Originally, it was just a pawn of her Tuoba royal family, but now this pawn that had already been used made her feel unbearable.She couldn't believe it, but she had to admit that she couldn't help herself.

Have you ever tried to associate with such a person - she is free and easy, has no city in her heart, and is calm and upright. After seeing countless filth and filth, people feel that people can be so beautiful.

For Tuoba Di, the princess of Shanggu who is used to intrigue and intrigue, such a frank and upright existence of Chu Li makes people feel nostalgic and... reluctant.

In particular, no matter which dynasty or generation, people like Chu Li are rare.Qu Di thought to himself, doesn't Chu Li know how sinister people's hearts are?Doesn't she know how dirty this world is?She is like a child.

But Qu Di looked at her, but there was a voice in his heart saying, no, it's not that she doesn't know.Qu Di thought of all the conflicts she had with Chu Li when she was in Pingcheng. Every word Chu Li said at that time was in her ears, and Chu Li's life experience echoed in her heart.Qu Di smiled deeply in his eyes. Chu Li, who has experienced such a rough life and who can turn a deaf ear to other people's insults, how could she not know what kind of world she lives in.It's not that she doesn't know, on the contrary, it is precisely because she knows too well that she naively wants to change, trying to restore the prosperity of this world.

However, no one can really create a prosperous and prosperous world.

The feeling in Qu Di's heart was unspeakable, and the eyes he looked at Chu Li were unpredictable, showing respect, compassion, and helplessness.There was even a feeling that had never been felt before in his heart, as if... wanted to protect her, but not at all.Princess Shanggu herself didn't know.

The high mountains stop, and the scenery stops.Although I can't come, I yearn for it.

Perhaps this is the source of supporting all Chu Li's actions.She learned from Lao Zhuang, but was deeply influenced by Confucianism, so she followed the example of the sage Confucius in everything. If the world is not prosperous, she should use her own strength and do what she knows she can't do.

Hedi understood her.

However, even though her mind was turning a thousand times and thoughts passed by in turn, for Princess Shanggu, what she was going to do now would still not change.She still needs Chu Li to be the national teacher of the Tuoba clan, and she needs to help her father and emperor urge Chu Li to find the way of longevity.

It is not so easy to put all ideas into practice.

"National teacher don't need to be nervous," Qu Di smiled, "This ceremony is to apologize to you for past misconduct."

"It's okay," Chu Li was a little embarrassed, "Just don't do those weird things in the future."

Qudi nodded.

Chu Li was afraid that Qu Di would feel bad, so he added, "Actually, the princess——"

"Qudi."

"Well, Qu Di," Chu Li said, "Actually, Qu Di, you are also very good. Everyone has flaws and shortcomings. This cannot be forced, after all, no one is perfect. But everyone has a good side, Qu Di, although you sometimes..." He stopped talking and turned around, "Well, but I can feel that you are not bad. You have no hostility, and you have a good temper and can tolerate it. You can also endure hardship—"

She thought about what kind of life Tuobadi lived in Pingcheng back then, rich clothes and fine food, high beds and soft pillows, sedan chairs to drive in and out, and maidservants in daily life.Now living outside, it can be said that there is nothing left.But I never heard her complain a word, even though she was getting more and more haggard, and sometimes she was so tired that she gritted her teeth, but she always insisted that she didn't have any complaints.As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.Princess Shanggu once fell into the mud from the nine heavens, but she always behaved calmly.This alone made Chu Li's affection for her gradually increase.It's not that Chu Li has never seen the children of aristocratic families who are pampered and pampered. On the contrary, she has seen many nobles from aristocratic families, and most of them will cry and yell endlessly if they walk a few steps longer.But Princess Shanggu is the only princess of the Great Wei Dynasty. Logically speaking, who else can be more delicate than her?But what Chu Li saw was that although she was spoiled and spoiled, she was not as disgusting as the heirs of other aristocratic families.

Qu Di couldn't help but smile, "I sometimes...what's wrong?"

"Eh——" Chu Li was stunned, and laughed, "There are some problems too! But it's not serious. Everyone has problems, you have them, I have them, Suisui has them, and Gongshuding has them. Everyone has them. "

"Well," Qu Di thought for a while, "Then sister Shi has it too?"

"Shi Qi?" Chu Li was startled, "She...she, of course she also has it."

"What is it?"

"Hey——" Chu Li got stuck. She and Shi Yan had lived together for so many years, and she had never seriously thought about what was wrong with Shi Yan. …Gone?"

"No more?" Qu Di was also surprised.

"..." Chu Li smiled embarrassingly, "She is too close to me, I never thought about it. It seems that there is no—no, there is!" She suddenly realized, "She is sick!" Not very good, "I almost forgot, I have to go up the mountain to have a look, it's been [-]:[-], why hasn't she come down yet."

The more he talked, the more anxious he became, he waved to Qu Di and left, "I'll think about what I can learn from you when I come back!"

She rushed up the mountain in a hurry, the sun had been out for half a day, and the morning light gradually filled the earth.

Shi Kui was walking alone in the mountains, not in a good state of mind, and sighed faintly from time to time.

I don't know what to do with Chu Li.

She knows Chu Li's nature better than anyone else. Chu Li is not very old now, but he really can't be said to be young—according to the current customs, Chu Li's age is already considered an old girl who cannot be married.Of course, for those who practiced in the mountains and forests, Chu Li in Tao Li Nianhua is just a child.Even Shi Yu is only in the age of Huaxin. Although she is an old aunt at the foot of the mountain, she is actually just a young girl in the eyes of practitioners. The point is not age, but that Chu Li seems to have never It's the beginning of love.

They gradually grew up, playing across the mountains, and met the people of Mozhuang near the mountain. Because of the deep scar on Shi Yan's face and his often taciturn appearance, men were reluctant to approach her, but Chu Li is different. Chu Li has a young heart, loves to laugh and play, has a bright temper, and is handsome and pleasant. It is indispensable to be favored by a young man who is in love.But how did Chuli do it?Shi Yan couldn't laugh or cry.Every time a boy showed affection to her, Chu Li would spare no effort to punish him.Among the teenagers in Mozhuang, all those who expressed to Chu Li that they wanted to marry her were all punished by Chu Li.Although Chu Li can't really hurt people, she can torture people.She is also good at using drugs, using clever tricks, and has a sharp tongue and sharp teeth. Those young people are no match for her.It actually caused Chu Li to be nicknamed a female devil in Mo Zhuang.

Shi Yan watched silently every time, without saying a word.Gradually, no one dared to mention marriage to Chu Li anymore.

Chu Li also proudly showed off to Shi Yan, "Boy, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will not forgive you!"

While Shi Yan was secretly comforted, at the same time... it was not a good feeling.

She was reluctant to part with Chu Li and was afraid of losing her, but how could she be so cruel as to make Chu Li suffer?But although Chu Centrifugal looks fiery, Shi Kui is well aware of her coldness.That coolness is just like Wu Xi, but Chu Li is better than Wu Xi, although she doesn't care but cherishes everything she has.

No one is born cool.

Shi Kui knew that Chu Li's indifference came from the fact that she lost her mother first and then her father.Especially her mother once wanted to kill her with her own hands, and her father was obsessed with alchemy and didn't care about her.As time went by, Chu Li became more and more indifferent to the human feelings in the world.In addition, her father is good at talking, good at Lao Zhuang's way, which has a deep influence on her.Chu Li later worshiped under his master, but his master was also unknown, and he didn't know where he was for many years.Chu Li had a deeper and different understanding of the human condition.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Chu Li cherishes Shi Yan in every possible way.She has one more playmate, someone to accompany her, her life is more colorful.Otherwise... Shi Yan thought to himself, otherwise, I'm afraid she has already entered the Taoist sect.

He was originally intelligent, but he was born with those experiences, and he was influenced by Taoism the day after tomorrow, so his mind is clear and pure.If it weren't for Shi Yan who has been dealing with it all the time, how could he be born without care and concern, seeing through the world?

But if he was born because of this - when Shi Kui thought of Chu Li like this, he couldn't help but feel distressed one after another - it was because he was hurt by the world and the world and had no attachment, so he was born so calmly.

no, do not want.So she didn't want Chu Li to embark on this road.She hopes to do her best to give Chu Li warmth, love her and protect her, just like Chu Li once warmed her world, to be able to rely on each other.

However, with Chu Li's state of mind at this time, she does not believe in the relationship between husband and wife.She has learned from her own parents, she has always felt that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they will fly separately when disaster strikes.The door in her heart has always been closed, and she is still unwilling to open it.So for Shi Qi, he was in a dilemma.If you want Chu Li to open that heart door, you have to let Chu Li open his orifices.But people like Chu Li can't go straight in, let alone force it, otherwise it will be counterproductive - just look at those teenagers who have been punished by Chu Li.So I can only let Chu Li get in touch with this world slowly and see the love in the world.Only in this way is it possible to see Shi Qi.

But Chu Li is so stubborn, she wants to change the world, she wants all parents in the world to treat their children well, and she wants a clear world.This is impossible, so Chu Li will inevitably hit a wall, and if he hits a wall, he will naturally be impacted and injured.

In other words, either let her enter the world, hit a wall, and get hurt, or let her just go out of the world to practice and abandon all the deep and passionate emotions in the world.

In this case, how should Shi Qi choose?

So she has been half blocking, half letting go.I don't know what to do.

She was preoccupied and her steps were heavy.The sun's rays shone on her, but it failed to warm her.

But suddenly he heard Chu Li's voice, "Shi Yan!"

Looking up, a person appeared at the corner of the mountain road, wasn't it Chu Li?

Shocked, Shi Kui quickly collected his expression, and said with a smile, "Li'er."

Chu Li walked over a few steps, "I've found you." She stepped forward and took Shi Yan's hand and held it in her palm. Feeling the temperature of Shi Yan's hand, she relaxed completely, "It's warm." With two small canine teeth grinning, Shi Kui's heart throbbed with that smile.

It wasn't until seeing Shi Yan in person and meeting her temperature that Chu Li's heart was truly at ease.Looking up, she saw thin beads of sweat on the tip of Shi Yan's nose and forehead, she pinched her sleeves and wiped Shi Yan's sweat, "Why didn't you call me?"

Shi Yan smiled, "I called, but you didn't wake up."

Chu Li snorted, "No wonder." She didn't say a word about being tricked and locked in the basement by Shi Yan, but she already had a plan in her heart.

Seeing her appearance, Shi Yan couldn't help sighing inwardly.I'm afraid it's not easy to be fooled tonight.

They went down the mountain holding hands, Chu Li was in a good mood and talked to her with great interest.

Shi Yan listened quietly.

Seeing her high interest, he couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Why are you so happy?"

"Hey," Chu Li said proudly, "I solved a big | trouble!"

"what?"

"Princess Shanggu!" Chu Li was very happy, "She will never do strange things to me again."

Shi Yan's expression froze, and his complexion suddenly became not so good-looking.

But I heard Chu Lidao again, "Ah, 霂霂, tell me, why are people so stereotyped?" She said, "Indulging in love, trapped in desire, everyone has to do this, why can't you try to control it?" What about your own lust? It's really boring."

Shi Yan stopped in his tracks, "What?"

"It's love|desire." Chu Li pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I think that love is true and desire is true, and it is the same essence. But if it is imposed on a certain person, it is false. You see, men have three wives and four four Concubine, everyone likes it. This is a kind of love. But how long does this kind of love last? Wife dies and remarries, husband dies and remarries. During this period of time, I like this person, and when the time limit is up, I can fall in love with another person , How ridiculous. But I can’t say that this liking is fake, so I think that true love and true desire exist forever. But when this kind of eternity is applied to a certain person, it is a momentary illusion. People can change, but love |Desire will flow to different objects. If you can't control it, you will become its slave. Even if there is a pair of people for a lifetime, but what supports them in the end is definitely no longer the original feeling , Mostly it is the habit and responsibility of interdependence." Chu Li thought for a while, and then said, "Since it is illusory and lust|desire is good at flowing, how can we not control it? Infatuation and affection are all vain obsessions , why bother. If you crack it, you will know that it is just a ridiculous joke, meaningless. It is better to fight it, the process of defeating it will be painful, but it must be very interesting."

While she was talking to herself, she suddenly felt a tight grip on her hands, and when she took a closer look, Shi Yan's face was pale, and he stared at her blankly.

Chu Li was shocked, "Shi Qi! What's wrong with you?"

"...you...what did you say?" Shi Yan stared into her eyes tightly, and said with difficulty, "what did you say?"

"I, I, I... I..." Chu Li was frightened by Shi Yan's expression, those eyes that were always warm and smiling seemed to be full of shock and...resentment?Chu Li was so frightened that his heart trembled, he stammered and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"False, joke? Chu Li, you—" Shi Qi couldn't believe what he heard.Her eyes were full of pain and struggle, she stared at Chu Li incredulously for a long while, then suddenly sneered at herself, before she finished her sentence, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, couldn't hold back the surge of Qi and blood, and spit out blood with a muffled groan Come.
