Cinderella: The Legend of Yunhua

Back at Zhishui Peak, seeing Biguio sitting by the pool drinking tea with Mo Yunhua, Lian Que went up and sat down next to Biguio, "Auntie, I kept you waiting, I met you at the peak A friend, chat for a while."

Baguio smiled softly, "I've just arrived too, I'll leave after a while. Lian'er, do you have any news about your father?"

Lian Que thought that Mo Yunhua knew Liu Yun's true identity, and it would not be appropriate to conceal it now, so he knelt on the ground and said earnestly, "Auntie, I'm sorry Lian'er, you have cared for me for many years, but I never To tell the truth, in fact, Dad..."

When Baguio heard Lian Que's hesitant talk about Liu Yun, his face became anxious, "Lian'er, what's the matter with Liu Yun?"

Lian Que said softly, "Auntie, Daddy is not a casual cultivator, he... is actually a Qingjiao who has been cultivating in Guixu for more than 2000 years. Lianfeng... the situation at that time... Dad didn't intend to hide it from aunt, it's just that the monster has a different way... He also had no choice but to, I think he and aunt have a sincere friendship, this can't be faked..."

Bi Yao was shocked, and she replied after a while, "How is this possible... No! No! Lian'er, I never felt the slightest aura of a demon cultivator from Liu Yun. What you said... Seriously?"

"Daddy was once enlightened by an expert on a fairy island in Guixu, which stimulated the blood of the real dragon in his body, and was able to absorb the power of the sun to cleanse the demon body, so the spiritual power in his body was almost pure, and there was not much demon energy exposed. When he was in ruins, he used some secret methods to cover up... ordinary people can't see his real body."

"Qingjiao?!" Bi Yao murmured, "Lian'er? The pair of... dragon bones that Liuyun brought back back then..."

"I don't know where Dad got those dragon bones... He didn't explain it to me... Aunt Bi Yao said that she was so afraid of people back then. I was worried about what he did to hurt me, but didn't we all see him back in good shape back then? Does that mean that he didn't..." Lian Que said, "And I went to Guixu 12 years ago I searched for him once, and my father should have gone to Spirit Snake Island to meditate back then, and there are still traces of him left there, but I haven't seen him, so I don't know where he went."

"Spirit Snake Island?" Bi Yao hurriedly asked, "Where is Spirit Snake Island? Lian'er, tell me quickly!"

"Auntie, don't you blame Daddy? After all..."

Baguio looked sad, "Why do I blame him? Just because he hid his identity from me? Now I'm just worried about his whereabouts... I haven't heard from him all these years, and I don't know what happened?"

Lian Que comforted, "Don't worry, Auntie, Daddy has a deep cultivation base, and it was fine when he gave me 500 years of real energy, and nothing will happen this time. I will go find him in a few days, maybe he will I just couldn't bear to be disturbed, so I found a quiet place to retreat."

Baguio said urgently, "Lian'er, I happened to be out of customs and was going to go out for a wandering, so I went to Guixu's Spirit Snake Island to look for him. Your cultivation level is still low and there are many sea beasts in Guixu, so don't take risks."

"Aunt..." Lian Que was greatly moved, "Daddy is lucky to have a friend like you."

"Lian'er, although Liu Yun is a demon cultivator, his heart and bearing are much stronger than those of my generation of cultivators. How could I treat him differently because of his status?" Bi Yao said, "I'm leaving now, let's go to Spirit Snake first. Check out the island."

"Auntie, please let me know if you have any news."

"En." Baguio solemnly agreed and left lightly.Now, in her heart, her affection for Liuyun is more than just a friend?These years, she often thinks of the voice and smile of the cloud on the day of parting in the quiet night. For the first time in 200 years, her heart was faintly rippling because of a man—yes, that is the fengqingyuebai, warm and moist. Yu's man... made her calm and waveless heart unable to bear the longing for love... Even after knowing that he is a demon cultivator, in her heart, that good impression still couldn't be diminished by a single bit.Over the years, she has been silently admonishing herself to restrain her longing for Liu Yun, she understands that letting her mind go wild will lead to a fire.But at this moment... when she heard Lian Que say that Liu Yun might be on Spirit Snake Island, she couldn't control herself anymore, she just wanted to fly to Spirit Snake Island immediately and be with the man whom she had missed for decades meet.

After reluctantly sending Biguio away, Lian Que also prepared to go down the mountain.

Mo Yunhua called him to his side and said, "Lian'er, senior sister just mentioned that you lived in a remote mountain far away from the world since you were young. Since that's the case, let's go down the mountain with you as a teacher this time."

"Master?" Lian Que didn't want Mo Yunhua to take care of him to this extent, he had never heard of a master who took his apprentices to travel.After all, there is a huge difference in cultivation between the two. If Mo Yunhua takes him out, it will be inconvenient for him, so he said, "Master, don't worry about me, I will be careful."

Mo Yunhua said, "It's okay, as a teacher, I want to go to the northern seas to find some ice. Let's go all the way first. After you arrive in the northern region, you can go by yourself."

"Yes." Lian Que nodded with joy in his heart.

After the master and apprentice made an agreement, they flew towards the outer door.Lian Que seldom went out, so this time he had a chance to walk with Mo Yunhua, he was extremely excited, and wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of Mo Yunhua, inviting him, "Master, come with my sword, how about I give him a ride? "

Mo Yunhua originally followed Lian Que's side to fly in the air, but when he got Lian Que's invitation, he jumped onto the flying sword and shared the sword with Lian Que.Lian Que stood at the tip of the sword and manipulated the flying sword, thinking that one day, he and Mo Yunhua would ride the same sword to fly across the sky, and suddenly he felt proud and happy, and wanted to shout twice.

The two masters and apprentices went out of the outer gate and stayed in Fangshi for a while before flying to the north.On this road, there are endless mountains and rivers along the way. Looking down from a high place, people will feel a sense of pride.Various sects are located in it, and monks are often seen in the air.Mo Yunhua was reticent, and he had nothing to say all the way. It was not as good as when he and Bi Yao rode a crane together and talked happily.

After flying for two days, Lian Que's spiritual energy was consumed a lot, Mo Yunhua saw this and said, "Lian'er, put away the sword." Then he created a wall to protect Lian Que and led him to move on.

A few days later, the two arrived at Yanshui River, the boundary between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region.Yanshui is vast, with endless waves, and has been bred for tens of thousands of years. Large areas of plains have been washed out on both sides of the river, the land is fertile, and countries of all sizes are scattered among them.

Mo Yunhua chose a place with little smoke to set his head on the cloud. This place is next to the east bank of Yanshui, and it is the largest country on the east coast, Yan Zhou Kingdom.Arriving at the place where mortals live together, Mo Yunhua told Lian Que not to use spells at will. This place is not like Fangshi, and most people have never seen monks. Using spells rashly can easily scare others.

The two of them traveled for several days to Dayan City, the capital of Yan Zhou Kingdom.Dayan City has been prosperous for hundreds of years. It is close to Yanshui River. There are countless merchant ships passing by the river. There are rows of shops in the city, and people come and go very lively.The first time Lian Que came back to the capital of the mortal world, everything he saw was novel, and he tried his best to shuttle through the bustling crowd, wishing he could see clearly the street surface of every shop.Mo Yunhua felt helpless about his child's character, so he could only follow behind.

At this time, a man was sitting by the window sill of a restaurant facing the street, looking out of the window, and saw the master and apprentice from a distance.The two of them were lost in the crowd. Although they didn't have any fancy clothes, they were graceful and elegant, and they were particularly eye-catching among the crowd.The man turned his head and smiled lightly at the people at the table next to him, "Two wonderful people came to the imperial city today!"

……

Lian Que walked around the streets with great interest, leaving Mo Yunhua behind without knowing it, and accidentally came to a fireworks field.On the red building, there were a few graceful women who were leaning on the veil, and when they saw a man in the green shirt who was as talented as a jade unparalleled coming from the street, they all waved their sleeves to him.

Lian Que has lived for dozens of years and has never set foot in the world of mortals. He doesn't know that there are women in the Red Mansion in the world. He was really taken aback by being shown favors in the street. hidden.The women upstairs saw that he was more shy than the women who had never left the boudoir, they kept their heads down and did not dare to show others. Seeing that his face was only in his early twenties, he must be a son of a family with strict rules and never went out for flirting, so they raised their voices. With a teasing heart, she yelled at him softly, "Brother, look at my sister!"

A woman leaning on the railing and dressed in a coquettish manner was more direct, and said with a flattering smile, "Brother, you are so handsome that you are so handsome that you can't compare with us sisters. Come to my sister, Let my sister have a good time j□j you, and I will definitely teach you not to think about it."

Lian Que never expected the women here to be so unrestrained, his face was startled, he didn't know how to deal with himself.

Mo Yunhua followed here, saw Lian Que standing in the middle of the street with an embarrassed face, and softly reprimanded, "Lian'er, why did you come here?"

When Lian Que saw Mo Yunhua, it was like seeing a savior, and said happily, "Master, you are here, where is this?"

"A place of smoke and dust."

The group of women in the red building leaning on the Xiangge saw that there was another handsome man on the street, they became more enthusiastic and threw out the silk handkerchiefs in their hands one after another.Mo Yunhua glanced at them blankly, then turned around and led Lian Que back the same way, leaving only the last sound of chasing and calling.

Lian Que silently followed behind, at a loss as to what to do.Seeing that he was so uncomfortable, Mo Yunhua said in a low voice, "You have just entered the world, and your heart is clean. Don't worry about such mundane things, just keep your heart quiet."

At noon, the two left for a restaurant.The waiter in the restaurant saw the two of them head on, and led them politely to the second floor.The second floor was originally an elegant hall, which was decorated in an elegant and simple manner according to the style of famous officials.There were four tables in the hall, and three of them were full of people talking.Lian Que knew that Mo Yunhua was happy to be clean, and when he saw that there were many people upstairs, he said to Xiao Er, "There are many people here, can you change the place for us?"

A man sitting by the window sill in the hall said politely, "These two young masters, I think you look good. If you are elegant, why don't you take a seat and make friends today. We have to stay here today." On the Dao, if you want, you can also participate.”

Mo Yunhua took a look at the speaker, and saw that he was wearing a crimson narrow-sleeved robe, python-patterned boots, and a scholar's bun, with a purple jade hairpin interspersed in the bun, with ears hanging from each end, and There is a piece of transparent jasper hanging on her pendant, graceful and graceful, imposing, and there is a sense of grace and nobility when talking and laughing, knowing that he must be a noble man in the world, with an extraordinary background, and seeing Xiao Er's face embarrassed, presumably the first is Xiao Er. This person entrusted him to welcome him up, Mo Yunhua didn't want to make things difficult for Xiao Er, and said to Xiao Er, "Don't bother, just stay here."

Seeing this, Xiao Er hastily thanked him.

Afterwards, Mo Yunhua and Lian Que sat down.The head man smiled.Mo Yunhua returned the gift briefly, and ordered a pot of green tea and three vegetarian dishes.Xiao Er got the order and went alone.

Not long after, Xiao Er hurriedly put the dish cloth on.Mo Yunhua has been fasting for many years, and he has no desire for food, so he just ate a few chopsticks at will and drank tea by himself.

Lian Que hadn't bigu yet, but he was full of praise for the small dishes in the restaurant, and they were delicious.

Mo Yunhua said, "Lian'er, after you enter the world, don't give birth to too much playfulness, you need to have a moment of compassion for the world, always feel the warmth and coldness of the world, and do favors to others. The dust brushes my heart, disturbing my peace."

"Listen to Master's instruction."

"Eat."

At this time, more than a dozen men at the side table were gathering to talk about the way of governing the country. This group of people looked at their attire and knew that they were all literati.

During this period, a man stood up and said loudly, "Shun asked Yao about the way of the Son of Heaven, and Yao said, 'Don't be obnoxious, don't tell, don't abolish the poor, those who die bitterly, and mourn for the women.' Shun disagreed, saying,' The way of the Son of Heaven, it is enough to imitate the heaven and the earth, the virtues of heaven come out of peace, the sun and the moon shine and travel at four o'clock, as if there are scriptures for day and night, the clouds travel and the rain applies.' Heaven and earth have been respected since ancient times. Doing nothing is enough.”

As soon as the words were finished, the man who was named first took a sip from his wine glass and said, "The way of doing nothing is to cultivate oneself and self-examination, but it is a bit weak to govern the country and the army."

Another man echoed, "I can't agree with you either. In the heaven and earth, everything has laws and operates according to its own laws. How can it be said that it is inaction? The way to govern the country is also within the laws of heaven and earth, and it must be obtained." Because of the Tao and the complete law, the gentleman can be happy and the big villains can be stopped, and a world of peace can be achieved."

"What is the whole law because of Tao?"

"The ancient general principle: Looking at the sky and the earth, watching the rivers and seas, seeing valleys, illuminated by the sun and the moon, traveling at four o'clock, clouds and wind moving; don't tire the mind with wisdom, don't tire yourself with selfishness; send the law to chaos in the magic, entrust Right and wrong are based on rewards and punishments, which are weights rather than balances; do not go against the laws of nature, do not hurt feelings; do not criticize hairs and find small faults, do not cleanse dirt but detect difficult ones; do not lead outside the rope, do not push within the rope; do not rush outside the law , do not delay within the law; abide by the principle, because of nature; misfortune and fortune arise from Taoism, not from love and evil; responsibility for honor and disgrace lies with oneself, not with others, this is the rule of law according to the way of heaven."

The leading man listened attentively, stood up for a long time, and said, "Well said! The way to govern the world is that the wise go first and the brave second. If the whole world is full of people who do nothing and have no desires, how can the country be strong and the army be brave?" The man walked around with a wine glass in one hand and a wine jug in the other, walked to Mo Yunhua's table, and said with a light smile, "This young man has a good face, did you just come to Dayan City?"

Mo Yunhua nodded, but did not answer.

"Since that's the case, this glass of sake will be regarded as a welcome for my son." The man then drank it down, "I'm Song Xishu."

The group of people who had been talking lively before were all shocked when they saw Song Xishu turn to the table of the two strangers.They were summoned by Song Xishu to come here for a gathering that afternoon. They had a pleasant conversation at first, but Song Xishu suddenly ordered the waiter to lead the two strangers up to the second floor, and after that, he even showed his friendship in person. Look back frequently.The two people who came here were dressed in clean clothes, and they could tell at a glance that they were not the children of the high school, at most they were rural scholars, and they were quite puzzled by Song Xishu's move.

In that room, Mo Yunhua's overtures to Song Xishu were very indifferent, and he was still drinking tea by himself.Song Xishu didn't take it seriously, turned around and poured a glass of wine for Lian Que, and said, "This young master has come from a long way and is unknown, this glass of wine is counted as a reception for the young master."

Lian Que didn't know how to refuse Song Xishu's friendship. After drinking the glass of sake, he said, "My name is Lian Que." He glanced sideways and saw Mo Yunhua frowned slightly, knowing that Mo Yunhua didn't like him drinking, and hung his head down. nod.

Song Xishu had seen his master and his apprentice on the street long before they entered the restaurant, and thought that the two were handsome in appearance, and their aura was very out of this world. In addition, they were dressed in plain clothes and robes. Immortal's arrival, he couldn't help but wait and see again and again, he wanted to make friends, so he didn't care about Mo Yunhua's indifference, and asked directly, "Brother Lian, haven't you asked the name of the brother next to you?"

Lian Que glanced at Mo Yunhua, saw that he did not object, and said, "This is my master, Mo Yunhua."

Song Xishu poured himself another glass of wine, took a sip, sat down in front of Mo Yunhua on a chair, and said with a smile, "Since I'm Brother Lian and Master, I'll call Mr. Mo. I just looked out the window , I saw Mr. Mo at a glance, his aura is lofty, making people forget the vulgarity, dare to ask Mr. Mo, what is your judgment on our ancestors' principles of governing the world?"

Mo Yunhua said in a low voice, "The way to govern the world has laws and limits, just choose the one that suits you, and there is no need to argue. If you govern the country with the way of inaction, you need to take heaven and earth as the principle, morality as the main, and inaction as the constant. Tomorrow comes first, followed by morality, morality is clear, benevolence and righteousness are second, benevolence and righteousness are clear, and division is second. The way of saying nothing."

Song Xishu thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Mr. Mo must be a person who advocates the way of inaction."

Mo Yunhua nodded.

Song Xishu continued, "What do you two come to the capital for? Meeting today is also a matter of fate. If you have any difficulties, please tell me. I might be able to help you."

Lian Que said, "We are just passing through here, and we don't intend to stay for long."

Song Xishu asked to stay after hearing the words, "Since you have come to the capital, why not spend a few days here, Dayan City can be regarded as the largest capital city in the world today, brother Lian will not feel regretful if he misses this place?"

Lian Que's heart moved, he didn't want to see all kinds of situations in the world, so he looked at Mo Yunhua.

Mo Yunhua nodded.

Seeing that the master and the apprentice had this intention, Song Xishu hit the railway while it was hot, "If you don't mind, you can go and stay in the lower dormitory temporarily. I, Mr. Guan Mo, am a very quiet person, and the inn and restaurant are still a bit noisy."

Mo Yunhua refused, "Don't bother Mr. Song, we have our own place to go."

Song Xishu originally wanted to make friends with Mo Yunhua, so he would not let it go easily, so he naturally put on all kinds of conveniences to persuade him, and talked about Lian Que so that his mind fluttered, and he frequently begged Mo Yunhua.

Mo Yunhua finally nodded in agreement.

Song Xishu's move made those who came with him look sideways. Although Song Xishu has always been very elegant, has a good reputation among famous officials, and is very easy-going, but it is the first time that everyone has shown his kindness in every possible way like today. See you.

At this moment, this group of people received Song Xishu's wink and excused themselves to leave the table. After a while, there were only three of them left on the second floor.

Song Xishu saw that it was done, so he hurriedly called for chariots and horses to invite the two masters and apprentices into the chariot, and went back home.

The author has something to say: about the principles of governing the country

I don't agree with inaction

I agree with Legalist thinking more, so I agree with Song Xishu's concept in the article, and I prefer Han Feizi's statement that human nature is inherently evil

I feel that people are born of a kind of instinct, which is selfishness and selfishness. It is the weakness of human nature. It is not good or bad. It is nothing more than that.
