Modify destiny starting from Liaozhai

Chapter 152 Return to Qinhuai River

"You're from Black and White Academy, right?"

Cui Shusheng looked at the handsome swordsman in front of him with a half-smile.

Xu Changsheng scratched his head, "Can I say no?"

Cui Shusheng grinned and said: "Okay, our White Deer Academy is relatively close to your academy, and we know a lot about it, so you don't have to pretend in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Changsheng understood instantly.

In front of this scholar, all the secrets of the academy must be hidden.

Following him, Xu Changsheng walked all the way into Liulin Academy.

As for Qian Lu, he was left at the door by Cui Shusheng, and he didn't know why.

The sound of books in the academy was loud, and he knew with a little awareness that those who studied here were ordinary disciples, not Qi practitioners.

Cui Shusheng walked in front and said: "This Liulin Academy was founded by a wise man from our academy in the early years. It recruited poor people who were unable to study but were determined to learn."

"So later on, our academy inherited this place."

Xu Changsheng said sincerely: "Senior is very kind."

"But basically everyone who knows now knows that Liulin Academy is the boundary of White Deer Academy in Lin'an City. Does it really have no impact?"

Cui Shusheng chuckled and turned around.

"If you don't want to be strong."

Xu Changsheng hurriedly lowered his head to avoid looking, and could only say in his heart: "No one would believe what a mortal said, let alone a Qi Refiner like you?"

But Xu Changsheng was the only one present, so he didn't dare to say anything.

He didn't even look at the scholar, for fear of being penetrated.

If Bai Piao was present, he would have no fear.

"The younger generation is taught."

Cui Shusheng laughed and said, waving his hand, there was a folding fan in his hand, "You are here to be a lobbyist for the Qian family, right?"

"You should not be a lobbyist in front of seniors."

Cui Shusheng looked him up and down again, "Seeing that you are also educated, don't talk like a senior, it will be embarrassing."

Xu Changsheng couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he could only follow his words and said: "I have met Mr."

Cui Shusheng nodded with satisfaction and led him to continue along the path and into a bamboo forest.

"Since you are a lobbyist and a disciple of fellow Taoist Bai Piao, I won't embarrass you... Just answer a few questions from me."

Faced with this genuine goodwill, Xu Changsheng naturally agreed in a hurry.

Cui Shusheng pondered and said: "The sage said: A gentleman seeks the road but not food; a gentleman worries about the road but not poverty... What is the meaning of this statement?"

Confucian teaching.

The original owner was a scholar who had been studying for several years. Xu Changsheng later occasionally saw the scholar asking questions, so he was not surprised by the situation in front of him.

So he first raised his hands toward the horizon, and then said in a serious voice: "What the saint said..."

Before he could continue, Cui Shusheng interrupted directly: "I'm asking you what's in your heart. There's no need to talk about the article on paper. If it's still like this... there's no need to talk about the Qian family."

"Students know."

Xu Changsheng turned around and said.

After another moment of silence, he replied: "This statement is not universal."

"Oh?"

Hearing words he had never heard before, Cui Shusheng immediately became interested. He stopped and walked to the bamboo forest to sit down. "Universal? What do you mean by this?"

This is what Xu Changsheng wants.

He held his hands and said slowly: "It is only suitable for a small number of people. It is not suitable for most people, so it is not universally applicable."

After Cui Shusheng thought about it for a moment, he understood. He nodded and said, "Continue talking."

Xu Changsheng replied: "The reason why a person is a gentleman is that he must first be a human being. He has life, old age, sickness and death, and has food, clothing, housing and transportation. To abandon these and talk about morality, in the eyes of students, it is completely unrestrained...it is inappropriate."

"Just like now, students and teachers can sit here and talk with peace of mind. It's because we don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and we can have enough to eat and drink. That's why we feel so at ease."

"And if a person doesn't even have enough to eat, and he is asked to pursue the so-called Tao and the so-called gentleman, students believe that this is erasing a person's nature."

Cui Shusheng was noncommittal and just laughed and said, "Then you think it's right to be full and warm and have lustful thoughts?"

Xu Changsheng didn't think too much or hesitate, and said seriously: "Student, I don't know if it's right or not, but this sentence is definitely in line with human nature."

Cui Shusheng said with a smile: "Everyone is connected to each other. In this case, do you really think that the world is wrong and Wang Hu is right?"

The first time the two met was in Cuiluan Valley.

In the game between Monk Huadeng and Monk Wuchen, Xu Changsheng was not confused about Cui Shusheng's question at this moment.

He was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at the sun above his head through the gaps between the mottled bamboos, "Wang Hu was wrong too."

"Oh? This is different from what you said in Cuiluan Valley."

"Then tell me, where did he go wrong?"

After hearing this, Xu Changsheng thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not so much that Wang Hu is wrong, but rather that what he did is in line with a person's human nature."

Cui Shusheng has practiced Confucianism and Taoism since he was a child, and now he has become a Sixth Realm Guixu Yuanjun, so he can naturally understand what Xu Changsheng means.

So he stopped joking and asked seriously: "Do you think human nature is good or evil?"

Xu Changsheng replied: "In my opinion, human nature is inherently evil."

"Most of the evil in this world comes from human nature."

"Including this catastrophe?"

Xu Changsheng didn't know how to answer.

Cui Shusheng didn't expect to get an answer from him. He murmured a few times and then put away the endless and complicated thoughts.

He gently shook the folding fan and said, "You don't have to worry about the ferry issue on our side at White Deer Academy. We will stand with the Qian family. You'd better worry about how Tiance Mansion will solve it."

"After all, they are a group of lunatics who only recognize their fists."

"Thank you sir."

Xu Changsheng bowed his hands and left.Cui Shusheng stood up and said with a smile: "Come to our White Deer Academy when you have time. I think it has been a long time since your Black and White Academy sent anyone... Don't worry, it will be very interesting."

Xu Changsheng seemed to have heard similar words in the academy, so he asked curiously: "Since we haven't sent anyone here for a long time, who was the last person who went to White Deer Academy?"

"If I remember correctly, it's called... Pu Lun."

"Senior Brother Pu?"

Xu Changsheng was surprised, wrote it down, and immediately turned around and left.

At the door, Qian Lu was still anxiously waiting, pacing back and forth.

After all, White Deer Academy had only vaguely expressed its support for the Qian family before, but no specific words were released.

Hearing footsteps coming from inside the door, he hurriedly turned around and faced them.

"Lao Ye..."

Xu Changsheng smiled at him and winked.

Qian Lu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and patted his belly, "With Lao Ye taking action, there is no doubt that we can't win."

When Xu Changsheng heard the noise, he walked towards the Yukong carriage and said, "It's time for you to go away, you fat guy. You're already in the state of death, why bother yourself to look like this?"

Fetal breath can prevent grains, and it will be easy to control body fat or thinness.

Therefore, it is rare to see obese Qi Practitioners.

Qian Lu chuckled and said, "Old Ye, you don't know, this is the tradition of our Qian family."

"Then why doesn't your father do this?"

Qian Lu shook his head, "He was like this before, but he has lost weight because of too many things recently. You see, after a while, he will become like me."

Both of them got on the carriage, and Qian Lucai sent a message:

"Just now, my family sent me a message saying that when the Lin family came out of Shentu's house, their faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot. The matter was probably not settled."

"I don't know what the Shentu family has in mind. There is some benefit in joining one family, but they can't get anything out of their current behavior."

Xu Changsheng smiled and said: "Listening to what you said, do you really want the Shentu family and the Lin family to stand together?"

"I didn't mean that, it's just...it's just that at this time, the Lin family went to find the Shentu family, but the Shentu family didn't let go at all. And according to the news from the spies, the Shentu family opened their mouths this time, even more loudly than before."

Xu Changsheng glanced at him, but still didn't tell him the answer.

why?
The eldest son of the Shentu family is one of our own, so why else?

Even if Shen Tubao, the eldest son of the Shentu family transformed by Pei Guan, is not able to side with the Qian family, it is still okay to not get involved.

The carriage dragged by the alien beast was already in the air, and Qian Lu also sent a message: "Old Xu, the Tiance Mansion won't bother you. Our Qian family will negotiate... After all, this matter has already troubled you a lot."

"it is good."

Xu Changsheng didn't say much.

After all, the Qian family is still one of the three major families in Lin'an. How can they really have no ability at all and ask themselves, a lowly in the fetal breath realm, to negotiate with two major immortal sects one after another?
"Then now..."

Qian Lu's voice was strange, as if he was referring to something.

"You don't need to go back?"

"Why should I go back? As long as my dad is at home."

Qian Lu said of course.

Xu Changsheng also said: "The two major immortal sects have already won one, and they are already halfway successful. They have to celebrate."

"Then... celebrate?"

Qian Lu chuckled.

"celebrate!"

Xu Changsheng insisted.

Qian Lu said again: "Wouldn't someone be taken back this time without even entering the door?"

Xu Changsheng thought about it and found that there were two main reasons why he was caught last time. One was that Caiyi went back to report the news.

Another reason is because it is night, when the senior sister in the red dress appears. She has a hot and direct personality and never hides anything, so she can do the thing of robbing people at night.

But it's daytime now.

How could Senior Sister Lanqun, with her aloof appearance, do something like go to the Qinhuai River to rob someone in broad daylight?
Xu Changsheng didn't believe it.

The carriage quickly turned around and headed straight to the Qinhuai River, the largest romantic place in Lin'an City.

Qian Lu was still the host, so after flying in the air for a while, the carriage finally landed on the largest flying boat "Baihua" on the Qinhuai River.

There is a special ferry on it, and as soon as the carriage lands, there will be a special boy to receive it.

Xu Changsheng was no stranger to such situations.

Although he has never been to the Land of Wind and Moon after traveling through time, the original owner was not like this... When he was in Guobei County, he, Xu Changsheng, was also a benefactor of many poor women.

It's just the first time I come to this Xianjia Goulan, and it's really not ordinary.

For example, the people who were accompanying them out of the carriage at this moment were two small elves wearing cute gauze skirts with transparent wings on their backs.

A little further away, a plump, fragrant woman with a fox tail behind her was talking to a group of similarly dressed elves.

When she heard the noise here, especially when she saw Qian Lu's carriage, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked over with small steps, waving her fox tail.

"What kind of wind has brought Mr. Qian here? I didn't tell the slave family in advance, so the slave family can send someone to pick you up."

He said this, but his eyes were always on Xu Changsheng.

First of all, she felt happy when she saw this person.

Secondly, this man could actually get Qian Lu, the young master of the Qian family who is currently in the limelight, to keep him company...

Qian Lu chuckled and said, "I'm not the one you want to accompany today."

The fox girl understood instantly, stretched out her hand to hold Xu Changsheng's arm, and said with a sweet smile: "I wonder whose young master this is."

Qian Lu introduced:
"Who is the most famous in Lin'an City today?"

The fox girl, who had already guessed, couldn't help being shocked when she heard this. She looked at the person in front of her with joy.

"Could it be Master Ye Fan?"
