Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 45

At this time, Xue Qingqiu showed her true nature as a witch, regardless of other people's weird eyes, she just sat there as if nothing had happened, her expression unchanged. After a long while, Xue Mu said: "Forget about offering wine, I can be a consultant."

Xia Houdi was taken aback: "What is a consultant?"

"Just ask me." Xue Mu continued to write: "Just ask me if you have anything, why take up a position? I have no merit in my lower body, and suddenly I am in a high position. Brothers of the six sects will have opinions."

Where is the six-door brother who has an opinion, it is because you are afraid that your sister will have an opinion. The three giants of the imperial court looked at each other, complaining in their hearts, but they didn't want to provoke Xue Qingqiu anxiously. Xia Houdi pondered for a moment, and then handed Xue Mu a waist card: "It's a consultant, and it's also a member of the six doors. You can get this gold medal." Keep it for your own convenience."

Xue Mu took it and saw that there was a tripod-shaped pattern on the front of the gold medal, and the word "Xue Mu" was actually engraved on the back, as well as his portrait, which was lifelike. He raised his head and glanced at Xia Houdi. It seemed that he had prepared it long ago, but he didn't know why he took it out at the end. Maybe he was hesitating before?

In any case, Xia Houdi was right, this gold medal is very convenient, and she knew Xue Mu was a smart person, so she would not refuse it.

With the fetters of this brand, Xue Mu will at least think about the six doors. With this fate, there may be a chance to completely pull him into the door in the future.

Xue Mu did not refuse any more, put away the gold medal, and cupped his hands slightly: "Thank you for your appreciation, chief catcher."

"Everyone takes what they need." Xia Houdi sighed, and then cast a sideways glance at Xue Qingqiu: "It's hard for you to have such a sister."

Xue Mu replied softly: "No, I am lucky to have this sister."

...

Back from the six doors, the atmosphere of the two of them was very silent all the way, and they didn't speak.

It looked like a piece of window paper that could be pierced at any time, but neither of them seemed to have the intention of piercing it, and they didn't know what was wrong.

Halfway through the journey, Xue Mu let out a low sigh: "My sister lost her mind this time. If I can really be their sacrificial wine, this publication can justifiably intervene and use the influence of the publication to achieve many purposes. Nowadays, there is always a layer of separation. A lot of inconvenience..."

"Xue Mu..."

"Um?"

"Xia Houdi is right, you are more suitable for the court. Once you make sacrificial wine, you will be a member of the court... Sooner or later, you will no longer belong to my Xingyue Sect. I would rather not interfere with this publication than See that day." Xue Qingqiu said lightly: "It's my selfishness that hinders your future, you can blame me."

"Will not……"

"Nothing?"

"If I become a sacrificial wine, I will not belong to the Xingyue Sect. I will not blame you if I am not a sacrificial wine."

Xue Qingqiu shook his head and said: "Being a sacrificial wine, relying on Xia Houdi, and making good friends with Xuanzhe, with such an advantage, with your ability, it is easy for you to flourish in the court, and Jin Feng Wanghou is not a dream. How can you be sure? Can I still belong to the Xingyue Sect?"

Xue Mu replied bluntly: "Because Xingyuezong has you and Xiaochan."

Xue Qingqiu laughed: "Then it's because I lost my mind and didn't recognize a sincere person?"

Xue Mu said: "You are nervous about losing me, I should be happy."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Qingqiu paused, and quickly walked as usual: "I'm really self-righteous, without your advice, I, Xue Qingqiu, would not be the same mighty world."

Xue Mu smiled and said, "That's not the same."

"What's the difference? I'm sure I can develop better with you?"

"Why do you always talk about practicality... Without me, Xue Mu, Xue Qingqiu will always be just a fiery devil. No one appreciates your peerless youth, what a pity."

"Tsk..." Xue Qingqiu seemed a little amused: "There are countless heroes in the world, but few of you can speak. No wonder Xiaochan..."

Speaking of this, it was suddenly cut off, and then the two fell into silence at the same time.

After a long time, Xue Qingqiu said indifferently: "Breakthrough in martial arts, pay attention to success, all demands will lose flavor, and often you will not make progress in your life."

Xue Mu easily understood the pun, and returned another one: "Then when will sister teach me double cultivation?"

Xue Qingqiu finally laughed out loud, and gave him a sideways glance, with some charm in his eyes: "Didn't I already double cultivate with you?"

Xue Mu was stunned: "Where is it?"

"In the secret room, the skin touches, the true energy blends, comes out of my hand, enters your body, goes back and forth, regardless of each other, isn't this dual cultivation?"

Xue Mu almost fell to the ground: "My sister, is this called Shuangxiu?"

Xue Qingqiu's narrow eyes flashed: "On the matter of martial arts, how many people in the world can argue with me? Naturally, I say yes."

Xue Mu couldn't laugh or cry: "Yes, yes, it's really authoritative."

The atmosphere became more comfortable, with a sense of leisurely shopping at night. Xue Mu looked up at the stars in the sky, stretched his hands, and let out a long breath: "Do you know? When I accompanied you to see Xia Houdi last time, I still felt that you were illusory by my side, and I couldn't even be sure that it was It's not a real person, it's clear that the two of us are walking side by side, but I feel like I'm walking alone."

Xue Qingqiu smiled slightly: "What about today?"

"I feel you are by my side today, the fragrance is overwhelming, and I can even feel the warmth coming from it."

"Actually, with your cultivation base, if you want to perceive me, it is still an illusion."

"Then why..."

"At that time, you were just thinking about how to use this opportunity. I was not a real person, but an opportunity." Xue Qingqiu said softly: "Now that this person is real in your heart, your feelings will also be real."

Xue Mu was stunned for a while: "I feel that your way of self-cultivation is like materialism, but what you say is like idealism."

This time it was Xue Qingqiu's turn to be puzzled: "What is materialism?"

"Hmm..." Xue Mu thought for a while, and pointed to a small flower in the corner of the street: "When I didn't look at this flower, this flower died with me; once I saw this flower, the color of this flower became clear for a moment."

Xue Qingqiu savored it carefully for a while, then smiled lightly and said: "This is something that needs to be comprehended in Chan'er's realm. It's close to asking. It's really strange that you have this kind of experience after practicing half-baked poison kung fu."

Xue Muqi said: "Aren't you afraid that if I talk nonsense, it will be at odds with your way?"

"If your sentence is elucidated, it may be a system, but if it is only one sentence, then there are many schools of thought that have similar views." Xue Qingqiu laughed and said: "Actually, this sentence can be regarded as the origin of the fight for the Tao. Everyone thinks that what they see is right, and their own cognition prevails, isn’t it just not thinking about it.”

Xue Mu nodded, suddenly found this very interesting, and deliberately said: "But no matter what people think, it always exists objectively, and it cannot be changed by people's perception."

"That's right." Xue Qingqiu smiled approvingly: "'Tao' is eternal. People fight over and over again, and in the end they will find that it is just a different title, or a different angle of seeing, or it is what they are looking for. The paths are different. Then people began to pursue the essence, wanting to know what 'it' is? If existence is not changed by consciousness, then what is consciousness? What is the essence of 'existence'? 'Nothingness' is the opposite of 'existence' Or is it that 'nothingness' is a kind of 'existence'? Do you know?"

Xue Mu was dumbfounded, he knew what a fool, this is already philosophy, okay? The learned Ma Zhemao probably returned to the teacher a long time ago, how can I know? What's more, there is no science in this world, and a lot of knowledge cannot be confused, such as the situation of Kuang Ye's halo, even a staunch materialist may not be able to explain it.

"You don't know, but you want to know, how to do it? Practice until you can see through every speck of dust, practice to soar above the nine heavens, and practice to hold the sun, moon and stars, and you will know." Xue Qingqiu smiled. , slowly said: "This is the question."

In other words, it's not that their martial arts are philosophy, but their martial arts are just a way to ask questions.

To enter the Tao is to touch, to see through the void is to see through it, and to be in the Tao is to grasp it.

Xue Mu really dare not underestimate people in this world, especially people like Xue Qingqiu who stand on top of the world. Some insights are not as good as yours, and some insights can overwhelm you. Even in modern times, you may be a master of a school of philosophical theories.

Moreover, her mind and vision are indeed very broad, and Xue Mu also admires it: "I thought a suzerain should be very persistent, but unexpectedly he is very open-minded, and he is not alert to signs of other thoughts in me... This is Do you have the air of a master?"

"I told you before, those who are cavers can observe it." Xue Qingqiu said leisurely: "Don't say that a hundred schools of thought contend for the way, each of them is different. Now that you have insight, you will naturally find that blind rejection is not beneficial to the way. Stones from other mountains can Attacking jade, mutual verification is more rewarding, maybe different routes lead to the same end, it is unknown. Fighting for the way, do you think the fight is really the way?"

Xue Mu's heart skipped a beat: "What are you fighting for?"

"Thousands of years ago, hundreds of schools fought for the throne, and we lost. Therefore, each sect of the orthodox way enfeoffed places and their own lords, and we hid for thousands of years without seeing the sun. Although the dispute started because of different ways, it can be extended..." Xue Qingqiu suddenly stood up Ding, turned to stare at him: "What are you talking about?"

Xue Mu narrowed his eyes, and said after a long while: "Then the current emperor is quite courageous, and actually cooperated with you." After a pause, he laughed again: "You really trust me now."

"You are my younger brother. If you don't believe me, who do you believe in?" Xue Qingqiu paused at this point, then shook his head and smiled: "The rivers and lakes are just a corner of the rivers and mountains. What an interesting sentence. I often feel that you are not like people in the world, but in a Looking at the world from a far away place, it is often out of place, but the inexhaustible clues are like lines on the palm of your hand."

What a horrible gut feeling. Xue Mu couldn't answer for a moment, and was about to change the subject when suddenly a familiar scent wafted in the air...

The aroma of skewers.

Xue Mu was stunned. In this world, there are barbecue sellers in the middle of the night? How is this possible? Is there anything like cumin chili pepper salt these days? Or is there another unscientific fantasy method?
