(Third update. The new book is on the list. I would like to hand over my sword to thank you all.)
After listening to the words of the old man selling cakes, Chu Changfeng lowered his head and became silent. After a moment, he raised his head and replied: "The heart is not moved, the fire is not burning."
After Chu Changfeng finished speaking, the old cake seller smiled and did not answer. Instead, he turned to look outside the door. Chu Yu, who was standing at the door, knocked on the door at this time.
Glancing at the old cake seller, Chu Changfeng looked in the direction of the door and said in a deep voice: "Come in."
After Chu Yu entered the room, he closed the door and glanced at the old cake seller who didn't know why he came here. His eyes fell on Chu Changfeng's face and asked loudly: "Dean Chu, are you looking for me?
"
"We'll talk about your business later." Before Chu Changfeng could speak, the old cake seller glanced at the ring on Chu Yu's left hand intentionally or unintentionally, then looked at Chu Yu and asked: "Boy, how did you answer the question just now?
?”
"My heart will not burn unless it is burned by wood or fire." Chu Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Since you firmly believe in materialism, why do you need to light a fire to prove it?"
"How do you say this?" After hearing Chu Yu's words, the old cake seller asked with bright eyes.
"If I am burned by firewood, is it the firewood that is burning me? But firewood will not spontaneously ignite? Is it burning me with a torch in my hand? Obviously not, because the torch will not ignite automatically, so who is directing the hand? This
Isn’t it the heart?”
"The reason why firewood is lit is because someone lit it. The so-called burning of firewood is just a manifestation of burning heart."
"So I feel that the materialist is still not firm in his heart. He first burned my heart, but he didn't know that it was his heart that was burned. How can he be materialistic in this way?"
"Haha, your kid's idea has merit." The old cake seller looked at Chu Changfeng and said, "Chu Changfeng, in fact, the answer to the question you asked me has already been answered."
"What?" Chu Changfeng asked in confusion after hearing what the old cake seller said.
"Far away in the horizon, close at hand." After the old cake seller finished speaking, he drifted away, leaving behind an old but elusive back. Looking at Chu Yu in front of him, recalling the words of the old cake seller, Chu Changfeng
There was no sound for a long time.
Chu Yu didn't say anything. With his eyes slightly lowered, he was thinking about what Chu Changfeng wanted to do to come to him.
"I heard that tomorrow you will compete with the Bai family for the position of librarian. I don't care what grudges you have with the Bai family, but you were once a dead soldier of the Chu family. I know that Bai Qi. In the Bai family,
Ranked third among the dead, what are your chances of winning?"
"Thirty percent." Facing Chu Changfeng's gaze, Chu Yu thought for a while and said.
"This is far from enough." Chu Changfeng said and turned to look at the world outside the window: "The relationship between the Chu family and the Bai family has not been as harmonious as it seems in recent years. Therefore, even if you have left the Chu family now, this battle
, we can only win but not lose." Chu Changfeng said, "Why are you competing for the position of librarian?"
"I want to read more books."
Nodding, Chu Changfeng took two steps in front of Chu Yu: "You haven't lost your skills over the years, have you? Bai Qi's martial arts level will soon break through the True Qi realm and enter the Gang Qi realm. You should be more careful during the competition.
, Although Bai Zizai came forward in this matter, you can rest assured that as long as you defeat Bai Qi, the position of librarian will be yours."
"Thank you." With Chu Changfeng's assurance, Chu Yu felt much more at ease. I had heard before that Haoran College had four vice presidents. It seems that people from the five major families are working here, but I don't know which one is missing.
Is he from that family?
"In addition to asking you about the martial arts competition with the Bai family, I came to you this time to ask about one more thing." Chu Changfeng said with a somewhat gloomy expression on his face: "Two years after you left the Chu family, Chu Feiyun
He was assassinated and his daughter disappeared. Chu Feiyun treated you well back then. If you have any clues, you can tell me."
Listening to Chu Changfeng's words, Chu Yu's heart trembled slightly, as if he thought of something terrible, but Chu Yu returned to normal in an instant: "I am also very sad about the death of the Chu family leader, but in these years I
Not in the Chinese Alliance, if I have any clues I will naturally report them to you."
After humming softly, Chu Changfeng waved his hand and motioned Chu Yu to go out.
After Chu Yu left, Chu Changfeng thought of the words of the old cake seller and Chu Yu's reaction just now, and fell into deep thought. When he woke up, he smiled bitterly: "Chu Yu, what are you afraid of?"
After leaving Chu Changfeng's office, Chu Yu, who was standing at the door, took a few deep breaths to calm his undulating chest. Chu Changfeng's question just now reminded him of that rainy night seven years ago -
—The heavy rain poured down that night, and the flash of swords and shadows made Chu Yu never forget the hope in Chu Feiyun's eyes when he looked at him before he died, and the silent words he said.
Chu Feiyun, who was seriously injured at that time, handed Chu Chu to Chu Yu and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he spit out a mouthful of blood. Finally, Chu Feiyun's lips squirmed. Although he did not make a sound, Chu Yu knew that Chu Feiyun wanted to give him
What I'm saying is - don't take revenge.
Chu Yu thought of the scene that day more than once. He understood that the reason why Chu Feiyun said this was because he knew the opponent's strength. At that time, Chu Feiyun was recognized as the peerless master in the Chinese Alliance except Nie Guichen, but that night
Chu Feiyun did not break out of the encirclement with one blow. Before leaving, Chu Yu, who was holding Chu Chu in his arms, looked back. At that time, there were three masked men surrounding Chu Feiyun. The one who wanted to chase him was killed by Chu Feiyun.
Killed, the remaining one was seriously injured, and the other gave Chu Feiyun a fatal blow, but Chu Yu knew that there should be another person secretly, because at that time Chu Yu felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him like a poisonous snake,
This was also the reason why Chu Yu kept changing residences with Chu Chu in the Chinese Alliance. He felt that it was not safe to stay in one place for a long time.
But this feeling of insecurity came again today.
Chu Changfeng asked Chu Yu what happened many years ago. Chu Yu didn't tell Chu Feiyun the situation when he was killed because he didn't believe Chu Changfeng. Not only Chu Changfeng, but also everyone in the Chu family.
Now that Chu Chu is studying at Haoran College, Chu Yu feels that the responsibilities on his shoulders are heavier. Fortunately, Chu Chu now has Master Li Xin as his teacher. Master Li Xin ranks first in the Chinese Alliance. Even if someone wants to harm Chu Chu,
I’m afraid I will also consider the influence of Master Li Xin.
Chu Yu thought as he walked that when he arrived at the place agreed with Chu Chu, Chu Chu had not come back yet. After sending a text message to Chu Chu, Chu Yu turned around and walked towards the gate of Haoran Academy.
When he came to the shop of the old cake seller, Chu Yu looked at the old man who was sitting in the shop with his eyes closed and meditating, and said with a smile: "Old man, what question did Chu Changfeng ask you just now?"
"Ask him about his brother Chu Feiyun." The old man said and glanced at Chu Yu: "You still care about other people's affairs? I see that your hall is dark, and there will be a bloody disaster in the near future."
"Then I would like to ask if you have any solution?" After hearing the old man's words, Chu Yu asked in his heart.
"Who wants me to expect your perfume to make money? I will show you a clear way." The old man said and came to Chu Yu: "The world was first opened, and the chaos was not divided. The ancient sages created the five elements to create all things, so
The Five Elements are the foundation of all things. If you obtain the Five Elements, you can unite the universe and create the heaven and earth to establish the universe."
"The road that leads to the sky will eventually end, and the most brilliant things under the sun all come from dust. The earth is tolerant and restrained. Although we trample dust under our feet all day long, in fact, the power of the earth is enough to shock the world."
"Now the life of people in the Huaxia Alliance has improved a lot. Children in the alliance wear plastic shoes when they are born, and wear travel shoes and leather shoes when they grow up. They don't know the thousands of years of history of the Huaxia Alliance. Didn't the ancients know that leather is more durable than cloth shoes?
Isn't it? I haven't seen anyone stupid enough to make insulating leather and rubber shoes. The emperor of the Welsh Empire was so extravagant that he would rather burn agarwood, which is equivalent to gold, as firewood instead of paving the wood as a floor. That's real
You idiot, in order to show off their taste, the people of the five major families decorate the house magnificently and use fine marble for the floor. What they do seems smart, but in fact, it is not up to earth." After saying this, the old cake seller looked at it.
Taking a look at the canvas shoes on Chu Yu's feet: "Wearing leather shoes and rubber shoes, the bioelectricity in the human body cannot form a circuit with the earth, so it is impossible to feel the pulse of the earth, let alone appreciate the mystery of the earth."
After listening to the old man's words, Chu Yu looked at the canvas shoes on his feet and vaguely understood something.
"I know an old man who only wears cloth shoes all his life. No matter whether it is winter or summer, just like summer, he will also wear thicker socks and eat rice every meal. He has lived to be one hundred and twenty years old. In his words, he can live longer.
In a few years, whether you believe it or not, this is a way to maintain health, and the Tao is natural and never deviates from its original principles. After you are in the library, read more. Reading can make people wise. If there are many things you don’t understand, reading more may help.
Got it."
"Understood." Chu Yu nodded heavily, and at this moment Chu Chu called Chu Yu from afar.
Glancing at Chu Chu in the distance, the old cake seller smiled: "This little girl Chu Chu has a lot of good fortune. If she meets a noble person, she will be more blessed than a boy like you in the future. You have a bumpy life."
"As long as Chu Chu can live a good life, I don't care." Chu Yu chuckled.
"Go ahead, go ahead. Remember, a thousand-mile embankment breaks down in an ant nest. As for what you can understand, it will be a sign of your destiny."
After saying that, the old man turned around and sat on the recliner. After Chu Yu saluted the old man, he turned around and ran to Chu Chu. When he came to Chu Chu's side, Chu Yu asked Master Li Xin what he said. Chu Chu said it was ordinary.
They chatted and asked about Chu Chu’s previous life. Finally, Chu Chu said that Master Li Xin was a very kind old man, which reassured Chu Yu.
Chu Yu nodded. When they left, they met Bai Ling. She didn't understand the grudge between Chu Yu and Bai Yiran. She looked a little embarrassed when she looked at Chu Yu. She just told Chu Yu to take care and said goodbye to Bai Ling.
The two of them rushed to the residence. On the way, Chu Yu bought a pair of cloth shoes and returned to the residence to finish eating. Chu Chu accompanied Zhang Qinglian to go shopping, while Chu Yu wore cloth shoes and came to a small football field in the community.
Standing on the withered grass, watching two or three people walking around the football field, Chu Yu closed his eyes silently.
The sunlight fell on Chu Yu's body, casting a slightly thin shadow on the ground.
Chu Yu closed his eyes and felt the fluctuations of the water around him. Slowly, Chu Yu seemed to have discovered something, and his frown relaxed.
After a while, Chu Yu opened his eyes and looked at the ground beneath his feet.
The earth was as thick as before, but Chu Yu could clearly feel the changes in the earth, and some dust was constantly wandering in the sunlight.
The wind blew up and stirred up the dust on the ground. Chu Yu raised his hand and looked at the dust in his hand. He remembered what the old cake seller said about the embankment of a thousand miles collapsing in an ant nest, and he couldn't help but smile.
As Chu Yu's hand shook, tiny dust particles surrounded Chu Yu's palm.
When he closed his hands, a small amount of dust fell on Chu Yu's palm, and he slowly clenched it tightly. As Chu Yu waved his hand, the dust floated in the air, and then Chu Yu turned around and walked towards his residence.
Time passed quickly. When it got dark, after two hours of reading the "Hunyuan Sutra" sent by Tie Quansheng in the room, Chu Yu came to the football field again and stood by the window looking at Chu Yu's distant back.
Zhang Qinglian smiled at this time, and there was relief in her smile that she had finally waited for today for a long time.
