Chapter 330 The Friends of Gentlemen, the Gift of the Elderly

Zhao Rong pulled Qingjun behind him and faced Tao Yuanran.

The familiar old man in the pavilion wearing the Nanhua scarf, what he said to Qing Jun just now, is it not meant for him.

Just now, Qing Jun and the others turned their backs to Zhao Rong and listened carefully.

He will not be found for a while.

But Tao Yuanran was facing towards Zhao Rong.

Although Zhao Rong stood a little far away.

But as he gradually heard Tao Yuanran say some deliberately harsh words similar to "the rite is the leader of chaos".

Zhao Rong had already made up his mind that Tao Yuanran had already seen him.

But Zhao Rong still listened in silence for a while.

Because he wanted to know what stage the Taoism in this world had reached.

The center of contention among a hundred schools of thought, Jixia Academy, what is the current mainstream doctrine of Taoism.

Regarding this point, because Wangque Island is far away, the news is not sensitive.

However, Zhao Rong soon gradually figured out the situation, especially when Tao Yuanran's "saint and robber" remarks came out.

As for the criticizing of Confucian scholars that the old man in the pavilion said before, if it was said to him, then it seems that there is another layer of intention...

On the open space outside the pavilion, Zhao Rong saluted suddenly and said with a smile, "I'm Zhao Ziyu."

Tao Yuanran also smiled, got up, and, like the day half a year ago, he performed a solemn and ancient ceremony of Jixia Academy to the young Confucian scholar in front of him.

"Under Tao Yuanran."

Just the next second, Zhao Rong smiled, "You Daoist Tao just said that 'rituals' are the source of disasters, why are you practicing such simple and simple rituals now? Isn't it also bound?"

Tao Yuanran's expression was calm.

"You really don't know, fellow daoist Zhao? This gift is an ancient gift that is optional when you meet a fellow daoist who is recognized in Jixia Academy."

"The old man's rituals are done according to one's inclinations, no one restrains them, and it is natural. But your Confucianism is to force the world, no matter when and where, you must follow the rules. This is imposed on the world. Of course, the old man does not agree."

Zhao Rong nodded, "Fellow Daoist Tao still has the same demeanor, and he is still as eloquent and sharp."

Tao Yuanran: "It's the same for little fellow Daoist, he's still so aggressive."

Zhao Rong waved his hand and said instead:

"I don't dare to take it, it's just that Taoist Taoist said to my wife just now, there are some inappropriate things in it."

"In the debate of 'doing things and doing nothing', because I held the view of doing nothing, I did say the words of doing nothing and doing nothing that fellow Taoist just repeated."

He paused, closed his eyes slightly and said:
"However, Mr. Zhao didn't say a single word about the so-called relationship between saints and thieves later on. The later remarks were all made by Taoist Taoist. Well, it's better to make this point clear, so as not to cause misunderstandings."

Zhao Rong looked at the students in the surrounding open space and emphasized.

He is now a Confucian student at Linlu Academy. Regarding the matter of "Taoist Controversy", he should at least have a clear attitude and not crookedly, not to mention his specific views.

Zhao Rong didn't know whether Tao Yuanran had intentions or not, but he was currently offending a certain menopausal unmarried old-fashioned woman.

Words and deeds need to be cautious to prevent gossip, three people become tigers.

Tao Yuan nodded calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Tao, Zhongnan bid farewell, I didn't expect to meet so soon."

Tao Yuanran nodded and said, "Young fellow Taoist is studying in Linlu Academy now? Who is he studying under?"

Zhao Rong replied casually: "I'm still studying in the Mochi Academy, but I haven't yet joined the teachers of the gentlemen of the academy."

Tao Yuanran smiled, stroked his beard and remained silent.

Zhao Rong didn't think much about it, and cupped his hands, "Your Excellency is still teaching, I take the liberty to disturb you, so I leave."

He turned around and told Qingjun and Qian'er, "Sit down first, if you have any questions, we can discuss them in private later. I'll wait for you outside."

Zhao Rong patted his sleeves, smiled at the surrounding students, and wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Tao Yuanran raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to persuade him.

"Young fellow daoist, please stay tuned. I'm not in a hurry for this class in Xiaoyao Mansion. You can just take it another day. You...you just said 'Pu is hard to return'? But what's your opinion?"

Zhao Rong waved his hand, "Where is there any good opinion, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart. Teacher, preaching and teaching karma to solve doubts, Your Excellency continue, all the students are still waiting."

Tao Yuanran didn't look at the students in the open space.

The flow beads in the old man's hand stopped, he shook his head:

"Today's class has already covered everything that should be said. Next, they can go back and think about it by themselves."

"By the way, little fellow Daoist Zhao seems to have a different view on 'saints and thieves'. I wonder if you can enlighten me? How about we have another clear talk. Last time, I was concerned about the affairs of my ancestors, so I didn't enjoy talking with little fellow daoist."

House students: "..."

Liu Kongyi gritted his silver teeth lightly, looking at Zhao Rong who was repeatedly detained by Mr. Tao, he didn't know what he was thinking.

At a certain moment, he seemed to feel the dangerous gaze of a certain little girl.

She turned her head towards Zhao Qian'er and smiled sweetly.

Zhao Qian'er narrowed her eyes, and suddenly glanced at the lady next to her, only to see that Concubine Zhao Ling didn't look at Liu Kongyi, but looked at Brother Rong'er's back tenderly.

The little girl's expression suddenly closed, her eyes calmly moved away, and she no longer looked at Liu Kongyi.

The latter smiled and nodded, and looked away as if nothing had happened.

Between the two women, no one saw the momentary confrontation.

At this moment, Zhao Rong felt that every second of hesitation between Niangzi and Qingtan was an additional proof of mental retardation.

He said without thinking:
"Saints and thieves are things that wise men and big monks like Your Excellency think about. I have little knowledge and do not dare to talk about it."

Zhao Rong frowned immediately, and said:
"On the contrary, Taoist Taoist, when I first met him, I thought he was a Taoist hermit who was detached from the world and wanted to cleanse himself, practicing the noble school's innocence and inaction."

"But now it seems that your Excellency, as the Taoist master of the four prefectures of the Taiqing Dynasty, is actively promoting your school's ideas. Isn't it also doing something 'promising'?"

The old man in the pavilion was silent for a while, his eyes revealing his thoughts.

"You made me laugh. In fact, in the past, apart from arguing in Jixia Academy on behalf of the Louguan Taoist sect, I seldom 'talked' and argued with others."

"Even when I was young, the most glorious moment of becoming a gentleman, the old man was still calm and carefree."

"In the past few years, in the face of this conflicting world and the ever-changing situation on the mountain, the old man has been silent most of the time. When he saw fellow disciples or fellow Taoists joining the world, he laughed at them for spending their time wrongly."

"However, as the old man grows older, his hair and beard are getting grayer. Although he has always been an outsider and is at ease, his shoulders are not so bad. They feel a little heavy."

"Think left and right, ask yourself, although the old man has lived at ease for most of his life, but...there are still too many people in the world who are uncomfortable, confused, dull, or misguided, trapped in this secular quagmire."

"It seems that the old man's morality is still not enough. He can't be like the sages and predecessors of our school, who can distinguish between the inside and the outside, and debate the state of honor and disgrace, to achieve the state of no self, no merit, and no name."

At this time, Tao Yuanran turned his head and looked around.

The old man's eyes swept over the faces of the students sitting cross-legged in the open space one by one, and finally fell on the face of Zhao Rong who was listening intently.

"I have been silent for most of my life, and after thinking about it, I still have to say something to this world, especially to you young people, because it is you young people who decide the future trend of the Xuanhuang Cultivation World, and the world is good Bad."

"The seniors in the Daoist sect don't care and hide from the world alone, but the old man has become concerned and doesn't want to be silent anymore. He has the responsibility to show the way to you young juniors."

Tao Yuanran lowered his head, patted his sleeves, and said in a flat voice, "This is a burden on your shoulders. You must not be misled by the wrong theories of other scholars, especially the Confucianism who has made many mistakes!"

The old man slowly raised his head and looked at everyone:

"When I came out this time, I didn't want to be a tinkerer like a Confucian scholar, to mend the world, to set rules for you, and not to do these futile things. I just didn't want to be silent anymore, so I accepted this lady. The position of Mr. Daoist in the Qing government, I will talk to you about what I have kept in my heart all these years."

Tao Yuanran looked directly at Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong was in awe when he heard this.

Although Tao Yuanran has been denouncing the Confucians who "do something", he still can't help but stand up and "do something".

Although the reason given by the old man is that, as a senior, he would teach them the Daoism of Taoism to these younger generations, so that they would not be "deceived" by other schools of thought.

And the old man himself felt the same way.

However, the final result is...he still entered the world, deviated from the kind of Taoism that has no desires, no desires, and personal freedom.

Tao Yuanran tried his best to give a plausible explanation for the burden of responsibility on his shoulders without violating the premise of knowing the Dao in his heart.

Even if it is not a Confucian scholar like Lin Wenruo, it is another kind of "promise".

One Confucianism, one way.

The avenues are different, even tit for tat.

But the original intentions are all good, and they all want to make the world a little better, even if it's just a little bit.

Even, Zhao Rong felt that this seemed to be the earliest original intention of Taoism, inaction, is to do everything.

This is not a negative escape from the world, this is clearly the most active way of joining the world...

Therefore, Zhao Rong felt worthy of respect.

He nodded seriously.

"I understand, but it's the opposite of your Excellency. You are an old man. If you want to stop being silent, you have to talk to this world. And I am still young and inexperienced... I want to start being silent and talk less. A certain teacher, please let me listen more Listen and think about it."

"So today, it's not just because I'm afraid of disturbing your Excellency and everyone's class, but also because I really don't have anything to say. Let's forget about today's talk."

"good."

Tao Yuanran pondered for a moment, then nodded:

"However, there are some truths that become clearer and clearer as you debate them. You can't keep it in your heart and work behind closed doors. When you are free some other day, we can communicate in private. Don't worry, fellow daoists, if there is no permission for the two of us to speak in private, we will never It will reach the third ear."

Zhao Rong hesitated for a while, looked at the solemn expression of the old man in the pavilion, and nodded after a while.

Witnessing this pair of gentlemen who have forgotten their years, the surrounding students looked at each other in blank dismay, momentarily dumbfounded.

Tao Yuanran clapped his hands and smiled, then turned his head suddenly, and said to Concubine Zhao Ling:

"Miss Zhao, although the pure purple air in your hair has been refined, it is not the orthodox method of our Taoism after all, it is just barely compatible."

He glanced at the purple ribbon in Concubine Zhao Ling's black hair, smiled and said:

"You can obtain this Taoism. Only us Taoist gentlemen have the purple qi from the east, and the wonderful word 'clean', which is also related to our Taoism. There is a magic trick here, the old man, which can make the purple qi from the east come It has infinite uses, you will know it after using it, and it will be given to you as a gift, and you can use it to refine the purple qi, and when you cast the golden elixir in the future, it will be hardened into a purple elixir, no problem at all."

Before Tao Yuanran finished his words, there was a burst of exclamation on the court.

A purple qi from the east, coupled with the exclusive purple qi secret art of Taoism...

Among the crowd, except for a few cold and indifferent people, most of the students looked at Concubine Zhao Ling with some envy.

But instead, some of the government students couldn't help but look at the young Confucian student wearing a green skirt in front of Concubine Zhao Ling, with complicated eyes.

In the last row, Liu Kong narrowed his beautiful eyes, looking at Zhao Rong's back, wondering what he was thinking.

At this moment, Concubine Zhao Ling heard the words, and under the envious eyes of everyone, her cold and pretty face couldn't help showing a little blush.

Just like the touching rouge applied on the wedding day, it is charming and seductive.

Concubine Zhao Ling lowered her eyes and bit her lip.

Where does she have a relationship with Taoism.

This Donglai Ziqi was given to her by someone casually, and at this time, Mr. Tao clearly gave her this Taoist method because of someone.

but……

Concubine Zhao Ling didn't react after hearing the words, but lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked up at her husband with a questioning look in her eyes.

Zhao Rong said with a straight face, "The gift from the elders cannot be refused. Qingjun, accept it, this is the kindness of the seniors."

He blinked quickly at the lady.

Hurry up, don't take advantage of it, you bastard.

Concubine Zhao Ling: "..."

The husband and wife looked vividly.

Zhao Rong: Silly lady, she is a Nascent Soul cultivator, so why not be so polite, wouldn't it be contemptuous of Fellow Daoist Tao if he doesn't accept him?
Concubine Zhao Ling gave him an annoyed look: You, you are stupid.

Afterwards, she seemed to be teased by her husband's indecency.

After Concubine Zhao Ling looked at him, she smiled like a flower.

Her voice was crisp, "Yeah."

Tao Yuanran nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he held Liuzhu's right hand and raised his index finger slightly.

In an instant, the only purple bead on the wooden flow bead exploded into a deep purple mist.

Inside the solitary pavilion, it was like entering a fairyland.

This cloud of deep fog filled Concubine Zhao Ling.

The latter raised his plain hand, curled his fingers behind the fragrant shoulder, and flicked the purple forging belt.

Immediately, a cloud of purple mist bloomed from the purple ribbon, but the color was not as deep as the purple mist that Tao Yuanran's beads turned into.

Qing Jing lingered cutely among Concubine Zhao Ling's green hair for a moment, and in the next second, she seemed to have received a thought from her master, and floated forward joyfully.

Soon, two streams of purple air from the east collided in the air.

Qingjing suddenly churned, and at the same time, it seemed to be dyed by the deep purple mist, and the purple of the mist became deeper and deeper!
Concubine Zhao Ling frowned slightly, and then loosened her eyebrows in an instant, because she felt a pure joy.

Moreover, when the two streams of purple energy came into contact and dyed, a mysterious ancient character gradually appeared in her heart lake.

Concubine Zhao Ling concentrating on memorizing silently, her pink lips murmured silently, "Qiankun...Ziqi Jue..."

Everyone in the open space outside the pavilion silently looked at the woman with a pair of beautiful autumn eyes shrouded in purple air.

I saw her lowering her eyes, her jade lips moved slightly, as if she was meditating on something silently. After a while, the woman with autumn eyes smiled gorgeously, brighter than the noon autumn sun falling on her shoulders at this moment, but... just after recovering with her at this moment It was like reaching out to hold a certain man without even thinking about it at the first time.

This gorgeous smile seemed to be all for him, only for him to see.

In the open space, among the students with different expressions, there are some men whose eyes often pretend to be indifferent, but their eyes can't help but dim...

Zhao Rong patted the lady's hand lightly, and then she came to her senses and thanked Tao Yuanran earnestly.

The old man in the booth waved his hand.

Zhao Rong breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that nothing had happened, he bowed and said goodbye.

Zhao Rong felt that everyone's attention seemed to be on him, especially that Fairy Liu...

If he stayed any longer, the class in the bamboo forest clearing would not be able to go on normally.

Zhao Rong turned around to leave, but Tao Yuanran suddenly stopped him and asked a strange question about the robber, Zhao Rong had no intention of answering at this time, so he shook his head and left.Behind him, the old man said nothing...

After about a stick of incense, all the students in the bamboo grove dispersed, and at the gate of Xiaoyao Mansion, the students came out one after another.

Outside the mansion, Zhao Rong, who was basking in the sun with his hands clasped while thinking about the matter of the great departure, came back to his senses and looked up.

Inside the door, the figures of Concubine Zhao Ling and Zhao Qianer appeared.

They paused on the spot, looked outwards, and soon lifted their feet again, walking towards him...

　March is here, and many brothers seem to have started school. I wish everyone full of energy, and Xiaorong also strives for full attendance!Go, go, go! ! !
