I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 408: The Way of Man

disappointment?

What do you mean?

It's a set of play to suppress the desire to raise first, right?

Gui Pei'an's words made Wei Changtian not understand what the old man wanted to say for a while.

But he didn't ask, just smiled lightly:

"Returning to Shoufu, the boy is just a playboy, and the rumors in the market cannot be trusted."

"Many people still say that I am a murderous, heinous bastard."

"Oh?"

Seemingly surprised by Wei Changtian's reaction, Gui Pei'an stroked his long beard lightly, and asked meaningfully: "So I don't know Mr. Wei is this kind of person?"

"What kind of person? Killing people without blinking an eye?"

Wei Changtian shook his sleeves and nodded naturally: "That's right, I have indeed killed many people."

"hehe."

Gui Pei'an's expression changed slightly, and after a short pause, he sighed slowly: "Killing a person who deserves what he deserves is not considered heinous."

"The old man believes that Mr. Wei is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

"innocent?"

Wei Changtian curled his lips: "I don't know that all the people I kill are innocent. Killing people is just a means for me to achieve my goal. I believe you can understand what I mean."

"Oh, back to Shoufu, let's sit down and talk."

"."

After saying a word, Wei Changtian turned around and sat down on the right hand side of Ning Yuke, and Gui Pei'an also sat back in the seat with Shen Ran's support.

In just a few dozen breaths of time, a dozen sentences of dialogue.

The first meeting between Wei Changtian and Gui Pei'an, a second rank scholar, kicked off in this slightly weird atmosphere.

The golden color of the sunset gradually faded from the sky, and the thin dusk floated up.

Hundreds of lanterns were lit in Fengming Hall, and the maids exchanged new tea for everyone.

For a period of time after that, although the two sides kept chatting, they didn't say anything too practical.

The envoy of Dali handed over the letter of credence, which was Emperor Dali's congratulations on Ning Yuke's becoming king.

As a vassal state of Daning, it congratulates the anti-king of the Sect Leader country.

Da Li's operation undoubtedly showed an attitude, that is——

Daddy wants to fight too!

Of course, although the attitude is this attitude, it is not very good to say when Da Li will take specific actions.

At least judging from the current situation, this is more of a "spiritual support", otherwise the Dali envoy would not have come secretly.

Ning Yuke naturally knew it well, so she didn't show too much enthusiasm for this "written support" method, she just said a few polite words casually, and at most wrote a reply letter to finish the job.

But in any case, the envoy of Dali has completed the task so far.

And then it will be the highlight of Gui Pei'an and Shen Ran.

"Return to Shoufu."

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Wei Changtian looked for an opportunity and asked straight to the point: "His Majesty said that you have something to tell the boy, but I don't know what it is?"

"Hehe, it's really nothing important."

Taking a sip of hot tea, Gui Pei'an replied with a smile: "Shen Ran almost made a big mistake at the Spring Dragon Poetry Meeting in Shuzhou before, but luckily he was able to get away with Mr. Wei's help."

"This time, the old man specially brought him here to express his thanks to the young master."

Ok? thank?

Wei Changtian couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

Yes, there was indeed an inner guard who wanted to kill Shen Ran last time, but he was stopped by himself, which gave Shen Ran a chance to escape.

But at the Spring Dragon Poetry Conference, he did indeed plunder Shen Ran's Heavenly Dao luck.

Shen Ran watched helplessly as "Qiyun Yunyan" was robbed of part of it by him, so why doesn't he seem to hate himself at all now?

Is it so generous?

Wei Changtian was thinking quickly, but there was a wry smile on his face.

"Returning to the first and second words, brother Shen's talent is obvious to all. At that time, I, Daning, was the one who was jealous to do such narrow-minded things."

"It's just that I can't get used to this kind of thing, so I will help, it's nothing."

"My son's words are wrong."

Gui Pei'an sighed lightly, and shook his head: "Oh, Shen Ran came to Shuzhou alone to defeat Mr. Su to prove his literary heart. This is what he did wrong."

"Of course, it's also my fault for lax discipline."

"At that time, he had already aroused the anger of the public, and he was able to escape unscathed because he relied on the righteousness of the young master to save him."

"Therefore, this thanks must be said no matter what"

"."

If most people like to blame others for their mistakes when encountering problems, then Gui Pei'an is completely the opposite, always looking for reasons from himself.

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wei Changtian's answer, and immediately stood up slowly, and then bowed to Wei Changtian together with Shen Ran who was also standing up beside him.

"Returning to the first assistant, Mr. Shen, it is absolutely forbidden!"

No matter how you say he is also a second rank Confucian, and he spoke so politely just now, so Wei Changtian certainly cannot accept this worship now.

He hurriedly got up to avoid it, bent down to return the salute, and at the same time, his impression of Gui Pei'an changed in his heart.

Although it was a little weird when we first met, the latter's words and deeds this time are indeed worthy of the name "Saint".

When you come and go, there will be another polite meal on both sides.

After dozens of breaths, the three sat down again, and this time it was finally Shen Ran's turn to speak.

"Young Master Wei, I'm telling you the truth."

"My teacher and I actually have one more thing to ask you in person when we come to Shuzhou this time."

"."

really!

Wei Changtian sighed inwardly, and said to himself that he still hadn't escaped.

Ever since he "became famous" at the Spring Dragon Poetry Conference, he has been chased and asked questions by these literary figures wherever he goes.

For example, Huian, the abbot of Folian Temple, and Ye Guangyi, a cabinet scholar of Dafeng.

These people seem to think that since they can write "Moonlight Night on the Spring River", they must have a very thorough understanding of everything in the world, and thus eagerly want to get answers to some "metaphysical" questions from themselves.

And how could Wei Changtian understand the philosophical questions they asked, and he might not even understand what these people were asking.

Therefore, every time he encounters this situation, he has a very headache.

But sometimes they can't escape, so they can only bite the bullet and say a few perfunctory words.

"Uh, I don't know what Gui Shoufu and Mr. Shen want to ask?"

Forcing a smile, Wei Changtian took a deep breath: "As long as I know, I will tell the truth."

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, for clarifying the confusion."

Shen Ran and Gui Pei'an looked at each other, their expressions gradually became serious.

Then, he leaned forward, put his hands straight on his knees, and asked earnestly, like a student waiting for the teacher to answer his questions:

"Mr. Wei, you lamented the shortness of life with the phrase "Who on the riverside saw the moon for the first time" in the moonlit night on the spring river, but you lamented the infinity of life with the phrase "The generations of life are endless."

"So, is man in this world short-lived or infinite, and what is the way of man?"

"The teacher and I have repeatedly thought about these two sighs, but failed to realize the true meaning from the poem."

"What Taoism seeks is the Insight Dao heart, to become immortal."

"What Buddhism seeks is for all living beings to escape suffering and attain happiness, and to jump out of the six realms of Samsara."

"What I seek in my writing is to comply with the destiny, and to seek the unification of the world with my own ability."

"There are three thousand ways in the world, but each has its own version."

"Teacher feels that "Tao" and "reason" should not be so complicated, so I want to ask Mr. Wei, is there a real human way in this world?"

"."

The candles in the Great Hall flickered gently, and there was silence in the bright and soft light.

After Shen Ran asked the question, he stopped talking, and everyone also focused their attention on Wei Changtian who had a calm expression.

"Well, this question."

In the nervous or expectant eyes, I saw the latter nodded slightly, and then spit out six words.

"What the hell do you mean?"
