Reading: Beginning as the Dean of the Academy

Chapter 56
The old man in Hufu had a flattering smile on his face, and the foxes lined up on both sides.

The strong man with two horns also forced a smile on his face, but his smile was uglier than crying.

Su Le and others left in the farewell of the foxes, drifting away.

"Can't even Mr. Qu stop it?"

After the person disappeared, the two-horned man couldn't help but speak, and the smile on the face of the old man in Hufu also disappeared, and his expression became serious.

"It seems that the energy fluctuations in the deep mountains just now should be caused by the fight between Mr. Qu and that one. With Mr. Qu's supernatural powers, he can't beat him, but it's just whether it's worth it."

The old man in Hufu seemed to know something. The strong man with two feet showed doubts on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Old Hu, we have known each other for many years, you have to let me know."

"The aura of heaven and earth is revived, and the original pattern is about to be disrupted. In the past, the lock-up gate of the human race allowed the world's spirits and monsters to be sealed in the mountains and forests, and they divided their territories. But now with the aura of heaven and earth revived, some forces will inevitably take action. , not only the human race, but our demon race will also experience chaos."

"Old Hu, you mean that someone might miss our Songling Mountain?"

"In the future, who can say for sure, but don't forget, among all the big tigers, we are the only one with poorer bloodlines."

Among the spirits and monsters, the only one who can be called a king is the tiger of one place.

And the one who can become a tiger must be someone with a strong bloodline in the monster clan, the most common one is the tiger clan, and anyone from the tiger clan who cultivates to become a master will definitely become a tiger clan.

Mr. Qu, in terms of bloodlines, he is a little low. Once there is chaos, there must be other monsters who will look at Songling Mountain.

The human race is divided into families and nobles, and the same is true among spirits and monsters.

"I'm just curious, what is the origin of that person, and why he would stand on the side of the human race."

……

on the way back.

Su Le sat in the car of Li Hongzhen and Song Jun, while his sister and brother-in-law were in the other car, and the people from Bureau 749 appeased them and informed them of the aftermath.

"Old Li, Captain Song, I don't know what that guy thinks, I just think that since he lives in the academy, and I'm the dean of the academy, I'm somewhat in love with him."

"With the mentality of giving it a try, I asked the old man for help. As you all saw, the old man gave me a leaf, so that I could have the confidence to go to Songling Mountain."

Stared at by Song Jun and Li Hongzhen, Su Le spread his hands without changing his face, and said helplessly that he knew what these two wanted to know.

And what he said was indeed true.

Li Hongzhen's eyes were a little disappointed. In his mind, if Su Le could communicate with that senior Ginkgo, it would be a good thing for Bureau 749.

But now it seems that Senior Ginkgo just gave him some face because Su Le is the dean of the academy.

"Su Le, what's your boxing technique?"

"That was also taught to me by Senior Ginkgo, and I taught it to my brother-in-law."

Song Jun was very interested in Su Le's boxing method, it was extraordinary that an ordinary person could deal with a semi-demon who had already opened up his intelligence.

"Can it be passed on to others? I mean, is Senior Ginkgo allowed to pass it on?"

"It should be possible. When I taught it to my brother-in-law, Senior Ginkgo didn't say anything."

"That's really great, Su Le, I hope you can teach this set of boxing techniques to round 749. If you have any requirements, just ask, and you won't suffer in the round."

"Captain, I'm also a member of Bureau 749. It's a duty to contribute to the Bureau. There are no conditions."

Su Le is willing to give up a set of Baijiaquan. He had some fantasies about the 749 rounds, but after this incident, he found out that the 749 rounds are weaker than he imagined.

In the face of spirit monsters, the deterrent effect is not very great.

Therefore, he even lost his mind about becoming a regular.

"That won't work. If you have meritorious service, you should be rewarded. This is the rule. You know the allusion of Zi Gong's redemption, Su Le?" Li Hongzhen interjected.

"know."

Su Le nodded. As the dean of the academy and a student of Confucianism, how could he not know this allusion.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals - Chawei" records: According to the laws of the State of Lu, the people of Lu are ministers and concubines to the princes, and those who can redeem them will take their money from the government.Zigong redeemed the Lu people from the princes, and gave them up when they came, without taking their money.Confucius said: "Give it and lose it. From now until now, the people of Lu have not redeemed people. If you take the money, you will do no harm to your actions. If you don't take the money, you will not redeem people."

The general meaning of the translation is: there is a law in the state of Lu, whoever becomes a slave or a concubine outside the state of Lu, and if someone can redeem them and bring them back to the state of Lu, they can come to the state of Lu to receive a specially established treasury. incentive money.

Once, Zi Gong (Ci Duanmu), a disciple of Confucius, redeemed a native of Lu from abroad, and refused to accept state compensation after returning home.Confucius said: "You made a mistake. From now on, Lu people will no longer be willing to redeem their compatriots abroad. If you accept the reward from the state, it will not harm your behavior; but you are not willing to get it back. No one else will redeem the money that has been paid.

In Confucius' view, only when good deeds are rewarded can more good deeds be encouraged in society.However, Zigong's behavior of accepting rewards weakened the principle of rewarding virtue with virtue, and weakened everyone's enthusiasm for redeeming Lu people.

However, when Su Le read this story, he had another understanding: First, Zi Gong's status had a great influence in Lu State. If he didn't receive the reward, the upper management would think it was their duty to redeem him.

The second is that the various worldviews and values ​​of the people at that time were not completely perfected, and Zigong's behavior would also make the people of Lu feel that asking for rewards for redeeming people was a manifestation of not being morally high enough.

Unlike now, when faced with the rewards and bonuses offered by the administrative agencies, everyone feels that it is right to accept them. If you choose to donate them, it will not affect other people.

When reading and understanding the dialogues of the characters in the books, one has to take into account the cultural background of the time. Otherwise, the dialogues of the characters in many ancient books are simply translated, and many reasons will not make sense.

"Then follow the bureau's arrangement."

Knowing Li Hongzhen's hidden meaning, Su Le didn't shirk anymore, but compared to rewards, he was more curious about the doubts in his heart.

"Old Li, Captain Song, in a place like Songling Mountain, are these monsters allowed to stay?"

When Li Hongzhen and Song Jun heard Su Le's question, they looked at each other and saw the helpless expression in each other's eyes. Every newcomer who joined the 749 game was full of pride at the beginning, but in the end they would find that the 749 game is not a panacea Yes, many things have to be compromised.

"Spirits have existed since ancient times, and even appeared earlier than us humans. Earlier, some spirits were the guardians of our human race. The totems of some tribal beliefs in primitive times are spirits."

Song Jun opened his mouth to explain, and Su Le finally understood what was going on.

To put it bluntly, this world is not only for humans, but also for all things in nature, and humans cannot occupy the entire world.

The ancient dynasties also turned a blind eye to spirits and monsters, because at that time the land was sparsely populated, and the land was enough for humans and spirits to coexist.

In modern society, the population is increasing rapidly, and the land is not enough. Therefore, there have been battles between humans and spirits, but they are all small-scale battles, because no one dares to underestimate the background of spirits. A ghost that has been cultivated for thousands of years pops out, and it will only cause chaos in the world.

In order to solve this problem, it can only be negotiated between the two parties in the end, and the spirits occupy some territories, and humans will not set foot in these territories.

Songling Mountain is one of them.

"Captain, according to what you said, those spirits are willing to shrink their territory and stay in the territory without going out?" Su Le was a little puzzled. According to the current analysis, spirits are obviously stronger than humans. How could they accept such a negotiation result.

"If you don't accept it, you have to accept it. Decades ago, the old man locked the gate of heaven by himself and swept away all ghosts and monsters. It's a pity..."

Song Jun sighed, but was interrupted by Li Hongzhen before he finished speaking.

"Actually, spirits are not a big threat, because the current human social environment is not suitable for the survival of spirits, so we will encounter one or two of them occasionally. Our 749 Bureau mainly targets ghosts, those evil spirits that harm people. "

"That's it, I understand."

Su Le nodded, expressing that he understood. As for the old man Song Jun was talking about, he had some vague guesses, but...he couldn't say.
