Martial Arts: The First Genius Doctor in Jianghu

Chapter 90 Gossip
If there is a joke that is the most absurd in the world, it will definitely not be a funny thing told to you by a hippie smiling face, but when a serious person tells the truth in a serious tone.

Rao Yikongmu was in a state of mind, and he was stunned for a long time when he heard Xie Chen's words before he came back to his senses and said, "I don't know what the young hero means?"

Xie Chen said: "Of course it means literally."

Kong Mu said: "Could the young man be joking?"

Xie Chen shook his head and said, "I may be outspoken sometimes, but I'm not a fool who talks nonsense."

Kong Mu just turned his back to him, lowered his head and didn't answer.

Xie Chen didn't urge him, just sat casually on the ground leaning on the pillar.

"Young Xia has given me a problem." Kong Mu said, "I didn't know until now that serious truths are always the hardest to win people's trust in this world."

Xie Chen smiled and didn't answer.

Kong Mu suddenly laughed, and even continued with a bit of sarcasm in his words: "Old man is always a mortal, even if he has been practicing penance for a lifetime, if he wants to give up his skin, he still won't give it up."

Xie Chen looked serious and said: "So, senior still wants to live?"

Kong Mu said: "Not bad."

Xie Chen nodded, before he could speak, he heard Kong Mu ask: "It's just that the young man's question is strange. If it's an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would only say that you can save me."

Xie Chen said: "It's just because someone once told me that death is the least terrible thing in this world, because when a person dies, there is nothing left, and there is nothing to be afraid of. People in the world are afraid of death, but it is just like worrying about the sky. Even if the sky is not It will collapse, people will really die, but if they die, to that person, what is the difference from not dying?"

Kong Mu didn't answer.

Xie Chen laughed and said, "I forgot that senior's Buddhism is profound, and I'm afraid there should be some objections to it."

Kong Mu said: "This statement is quite interesting, but I don't know, where is the person who said this now?"

Xie Chen said: "He is dead."

Kong Mu sighed.

Xie Chen said: "But he told me that people in this world should indeed be afraid of death, but what they should be afraid of is not their own death, but the death of the people around them. When people die, they have nothing, but Leaving all the mess to others, not only those messy mundane things, but also more troublesome things such as love, family affection, and friendship."

Kong Mu was still silent.

Xie Chen scratched his head: "So I've been thinking, if there is a person who came to this world clean, his parents died just before I can remember, he is an orphan, and he doesn't make friends or fall in love with anyone in his life, then wait for him. If you die, you probably just left cleanly. But when you think about it later, who in this world can do this? If a person has never loved or relied on anyone in his life, how meaningless would it be?"

Kong Mu smiled, and she said: "I thought that the young hero was only superior in martial arts and intelligence, but now it seems that I am old and dazzled."

She stood up slowly and turned around: "I'm getting old, even after sitting in meditation for a long time, I still feel tired. The night is very good tonight, you may as well go for a walk in the yard with me."

Xie Chen nodded and followed the old man out of the meditation room.

"Are you wondering why I didn't ask you how to detoxify me, or why didn't you ask you why you said you can detoxify me." Kong Mu's tone was flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter .

Xie Chen said: "I thought about it, but after thinking about it again, I feel that there is no need to ask this question."

Kong Mu nodded and said: "The most rare thing in this world has never been intelligence, let alone martial arts. Many people are born in a muddle, live in a muddle, and finally die with unwillingness, fear, and a muddle. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if those scholars have great truths, but they are all trying to explain a truth."

Xie Chen was silent.

"What a pity," Kong Mu sighed.

Xie Chen still didn't answer.

Kong Mu didn't seem to want him to say anything, and continued on his own: "It's just that you have to understand that if you saved me, you probably offended Yue An, not to mention, you cured Yin Chi Gu , is the eternal enemy of the five poisons."

Xie Chen said casually: "Senior, you might as well explain it clearly, you just want to ask why I suddenly decided to intervene in this matter."

"Exactly." Kong Mu nodded, "I know that my friend is not a person with ulterior motives, but now I am still the head of Emei. As my friend said, when a person dies, it will cause trouble for many people. I am not afraid of death." , but I don’t want to cause too much trouble for others, but I also don’t want to cause more trouble just to survive.”

Xie Chen nodded: "That's right, it's a matter of course. From this point of view, you can't use any excuses like 'I want to try Yin Chi Gu' to prevaricate senior."

He thought for a while and said, "If you don't ask for anything to save people, it's like telling the truth without embellishing it. I'm afraid others will think you're talking nonsense, since that's the case..."

He looked at Kong Mu and said: "When we walk in the rivers and lakes, we will always make enemies with others. It is hard to guarantee that the enemy's martial arts are strong and thoughtful, and they are above me in everything. I have no family, no one to rely on, and I speak freely on weekdays." If I do whatever I want, I'm afraid I won't be able to make any friends, and when that time comes, I'm afraid it will be ineffective every day, but now I have a chance."

Kong Mu looked at him, but his eyes were full of teasing smiles.

Xie Chen suddenly looked serious and said: "Now that I have saved you, it is Emei who owes me a favor, so I will ask the senior for a promise. If I am in trouble in the future, I will ask the senior to come forward and save my life."

Kong Mu nodded and said: "As long as you don't commit any evil deeds, and you don't offend the court or enemies in the world, I can save your life."

After hearing this, Xie Chen smiled happily and said, "Now it seems that I have also found a backer for myself."

Kong Mu just smiled and shook his head.

The two walked around the yard, but Kong Mu looked a little tired like an ordinary old man.

Xie Chen sent her back to the meditation room, saluted her, and then left.

After Xie Chen left, Shang Xue'e came out from the back room, and said with some doubts: "Master, can he really be cured?"

Kong Mu looked at her, just smiled and shook his head.

"Master, do you know him?"

Kong Mu shook his head seriously.

"Master, please say something." Shang Xue'e couldn't help but said.

Kong Mu said: "Maybe you can, maybe you can't, but you have to try."

Shang Xue'e said: "That's true, it's just...the disciple is still worried..."

Kong Mu smiled and said, "You, I still can't understand."

Shang Xue'e said aggrievedly: "I really don't understand. I couldn't understand anything you talked to him just now. Since you don't know him, how can you know that he has no other thoughts?"

Kong Mu said: "Actually, talking to people is the best way to understand. If you really ask him what's on his mind and whether he has ulterior motives, even if he really has malicious intentions, would he say it? It's just a waste of time."

Shang Xue'e thought it made sense, but she didn't want to understand how would she know if she didn't ask?
Kong Mu looked at the disciple beside him and said: "You are innocent and innocent, you shouldn't be thinking about these things. It's really hard work to force you to deal with those chores these days."

She paused for a moment, then ordered: "Tomorrow, whatever he ordered, you can do as you please."

Shang Xue'e was a little surprised, but didn't ask any more, just nodded in response: "The disciple understands."

Seeing this, Kong Mu added with a smile: "If you are curious, you can also ask him, treat him as a friend, as long as you don't overbearing."

After Shang Xue'e listened, she didn't understand anymore, shouldn't she just do it without asking more questions?
