The moonlight is like water, which makes people want to calm down.
"My master told us back then that walking under the moonlight is good for the yin energy, good for the soul, and is good for cultivation.
However, we are a chamberlain, and we are missing something, so we belong to Yin. When Yin is added to Yin, it is easy to go wrong, so we should avoid walking under the moonlight. Today, for the sake of Headmaster Ning, we have made an exception."
Opposite him, Chu He's face looked unusually white under the moonlight.
It's different from a woman's whiteness, but a strange whiteness.
Behind him stood more than ten people, all wearing swords.
"Is this your first time out of the palace in so many years?" Ning Yayun glanced at the moon hanging in the sky and found it quite pleasant.
"No, this is my first time out of Chang'an." Chu He said: "When Emperor Wu abdicated, we were ordered to clear out the palace and kill twenty-three people. Then we left the palace and strangled five of Emperor Wu's confidants.
When the Supreme Emperor abdicates, we will kill seventeen people in the palace and nine people outside the palace...
Killing is very enjoyable.
We are all human beings, but we can control their life and death.
Seeing their weak breathing and pitiful appearance, we somehow felt a little excited."
"In other words, you were His Majesty's internal agent in the palace?" Ning Yayun thought of the two palace coups. Although Li Mi led his army to attack the palace, how could it be so easy to kill without an internal agent in the palace?
The so-called imperial city has troops stationed in the city. Once an abnormality is discovered, the imperial city will instantly turn into a fortress.
"Ho ho ho!" Chu He smiled very proudly, "Not only us, but also the defenders, otherwise how could His Majesty easily enter the palace? Headmaster Ning, don't say we are rebellious, we are here to welcome the Lord, no
Shame on you!"
Tang Fan looked at Ning Yayun curiously and suddenly said: "What a handsome headmaster Ning."
Under the moonlight, Ning Yayun stood tall and tall, with a crotch in her left hand and a guqin on her back. She looked like a scribe who was about to meet her close friend.
"Young man, do you know what beauty is?" Chu He said with a smile, "The most handsome ones are all in the palace? Does Headmaster Ning know that?"
"After castration, except for a very few, most of the chamberlains have no beards, their skin is white and tender, and they even behave weakly... Therefore, the chamberlains in the palace are so handsome."
"Headmaster Ning is very knowledgeable!"
"No. Back then, some senior metaphysics people wanted to verify the practice of castration, but were blocked, so they quietly sneaked into the palace, checked the internal servants, and discovered many secrets.
For example, the chamberlain likes to use fragrant powder, but the purpose is a little weird, actually to cover up the smell of urine."
Chu He's smile gradually faded, "At first, Headmaster Ning despised Your Majesty, and Your Majesty tolerated it again and again. In the end, it was just a punishment for canceling the official career of the Imperial College disciples. Headmaster Ning should know that Your Majesty is already kind enough when it comes to metaphysics.
Already."
The foreshadowing for Chu He was a threat... Back then, he was able to leave the palace and strangle the confidants of the Emperor Wu and the Supreme Emperor. Now, now that he has left the palace and came to Northern Xinjiang, he could strangle whoever he could.
"It's been a long time since anyone threatened me."
Ning Yayun smiled and said, "When the headmaster of Xuanxue saved Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu rewarded him with the title of Imperial Supervisor. This was a courtesy. Xuanxue never owed anything to the emperor.
Since taking charge of the Imperial Academy, the disciples of Xuanxue have frequently served in official positions. Although they were suppressed and their official positions were not prominent, the disciples of Xuanxue were content with the situation and never brought trouble to the Tang Dynasty.
Furthermore, after the disciples of Xuanxue became officials, I never contacted them again, nor did I allow them to contact the Imperial College. Over the years, I have stayed on my own terms and have not had the slightest intention to change my mind."
"This is also the reason why metaphysics can exist in the Imperial College for many years." Chu He said: "Chang'an is an ambitious city with countless dignitaries and high-ranking officials. Their minds are full of power, money, and sensuality...
…It is rare for the Imperial College to be able to take care of itself alone.”
It's rare, but isn't it a compromise made by all the masters of metaphysics?
Being in charge of the Imperial College seems to have given him a huge amount of resources. Money and food are coming out of the country, and students can become officials. This is simply a natural weapon for the sect.
"I have been in charge of the Imperial Academy for many years, but my metaphysics remains lazy. Do you know why?"
"I don't know."
"This was done deliberately by the previous head teachers. I even allowed the professors to ignore worldly affairs and talk all day long."
"Headmaster Ning is a smart man."
"What do you think will happen if everyone in metaphysics works together?"
"Twenty or thirty years later, the metaphysics will not be lost, and then the emperor will send out an army to strangle him." Chu He licked his lips, "This is what we like to do most."
"Therefore, metaphysics has not failed the emperor."
After all the talk, they all wanted to gain a psychological advantage.
Chu He knew that logically Ning Yayun could not be dismissed, and felt a little disappointed, but then he smiled and said: "We came to Chenzhou the day before yesterday and looked around. The place is empty. The people are vulgar and poor.
The purpose of metaphysics cultivation is to be free and easy. How can one be free and easy if his disciples are vulgar? This is the disadvantage.
Secondly, Chenzhou is poor, and metaphysics likes to wear wide robes with big sleeves and be exquisite. Only in this way can we find the mysteries of the metaphysics.
But this place is poor! We saw that it is really poor!
Master Ning, is metaphysics planning to change the method of cultivation? Become a lineage of ascetic cultivation? Hahahaha!"
Metaphysics really likes freedom and ease.
From the first day you enter the mountain gate, the teacher will tell you that your head can be cut off, your blood can be shed, but your bearing cannot be lost.
When Yang Xuan first entered the Imperial College, he encountered a student who fell down and was in a state of disarray. But even so, the man still maintained a free and easy attitude.
Free and easy, uninhibited, this is the core of metaphysics practice.
Once there is a fetter in the heart, the inner breath cannot be free.
Talking about mysteries, drinking wine, looking for ways to fly... these are all looking for one's own way.
Only Yang Xuan and Bao Dong have nothing to do with Wuji.
One is thinking about how to retaliate, and the other is thinking about how to sell rejuvenation pills.
Therefore, Yang Xuan's cultivation was mediocre.
Bao Dong's cultivation level is mediocre.
Yang Xuan could still use his mediocre skills as a excuse, but Bao Dong could only show off and be dragged out by An Ziyu to take charge of external affairs.
Being responsible for foreign affairs means less time for cultivation. In other words, in An Ziyu's eyes, Bao Dong is useless.
After arriving in Chenzhou, Yang Xuan gave him a lot of support, such as money, food, land, etc., and even praised metaphysics on various occasions.
Very sincere.
However, Chenzhou's resources were limited, and the Imperial College staff had no choice but to go into battle bare-chested, carrying bags and lumber... The free and unruly monks became coolies.
The freedom and freedom are gone, the freedom is gone.
How to practice?
It’s not like no one has complained, saying that they are exhausted every day and their inner breath has changed from free and unrestrained to strong. This is inconsistent with the purpose of our metaphysics!
When it's time to breathe freely, I go to carry my bag, brave the scorching sun, and look at the brothers and sisters around me, bending their waists and hunching their backs, carrying a thick piece of wood and walking like flying...
If you want to walk as fast as flying, the physical strength is unreliable, the only way is to call upon the inner breath.
Then, the inner breath was gradually worn down and became overbearing.
If it were any other sect, Neixi Qiang would definitely be a happy group.
But this is metaphysics.
Being free and uninhibited is what they pursue.
Master, the direction is wrong!
Ning Yayun was just silent.
"I heard that you still have to do religious work to make money?" Chu He smiled very happily, "Go back to Chang'an! You don't have to worry about money and food from now on. You can practice when you need to practice every day, and talk about mysteries when you need to."
This is the way of metaphysics.
There are only two paths in metaphysics.
If you have a financial backer, just like Emperor Wu back then, you can get an Imperial College with a flick of your hand, plus full board and lodging included.
Life is really easy when you don't have to worry about money and food. If nothing else, you can live a lot longer.
Secondly, without a sponsor, life is very tight.
Without money, everyone can only suck the wind and drink the dew...
In the end, I lived like two or three kittens.
"Have the people at the Mirror Station learned all about metaphysics?" Ning Yayun asked.
"To be fair, Headmaster Ning, it's true." Chu He looked at him with some sympathy, "It's not easy!"
"Who says it's not?" Ning Yayun smiled bitterly.
"Then, come back!" Chu He said: "Chang'an is already mobilizing craftsmen. As long as Headmaster Ning nods, we will have a horse to rush back to Chang'an to report the news and then take action. We guarantee that when Xuanxue returns to Chang'an, a new
The mountain gate is waiting for you all. How about Master Ning?"
Ning Yayun lowered her head.
This is thinking.
Chu He smiled and whispered to the guard beside him: "Prepare the drinks."
The guard turned around and reached for the wine bag.
"We don't like drinking, but at times like this, only drinks can clear up the past grievances."
The moonlight shines on Ning Yayun's body, looking like a sculpture.
Go to Chang'an.
It means that metaphysics has once again entered mainstream society, which is not what Ning Yayun wants.
But he is the master of metaphysics, and his duty is to lead metaphysics forward.
Chang'an has all the resources needed for metaphysics: money and food, mountain gates, a large number of believers, a large group of disciples with good qualifications...
There is almost no reason to refuse.
Ning Yayun slowly raised her head.
"I can't find any reason to refuse."
Chu He smiled.
"When you have reached a certain level of cultivation, you already have a premonition of when you will leave. Before master left, he told me that from now on, metaphysics will be left to you. I don't worry about my farewell, and I don't want to care..."
Don’t worry about anything else…it is indeed of the metaphysics lineage!
"As a teacher, I'm worried that you have a peaceful temperament. A gentleman is like a jade! Don't argue. But this is metaphysics, and the portraits of the ancestors are enshrined! I have to hang them on that wall in the afternoon..."
Metaphysics is free and easy, and the portraits of the ancestors of the past generations also look free and easy.
"But there are so many people in the metaphysics, all waiting for you to take care of them, eat, dress, practice and travel. Which of them doesn't cost money?
We say it is free and easy, but unless one breathes the wind and drinks the dew, who can transcend the world of mortals?
Since you can't transcend, then try your best to leave a space in your heart, talk about mysteries every day if you have nothing to do, and drive away the troubles of the world.
The master left immediately, and in the afternoon, his portrait was hung next to the ancestors of all generations. I stood in front of his portrait and vowed to carry forward metaphysics."
That time, Ning Yayun really swore.
"Use your heart!"
Make an oath with your Dao heart. Once you break the oath, distracting thoughts will quietly pop up during practice, making you feel uneasy. As time goes by, big problems will arise.
Chu He was moved.
"The world of mortals is tempting and annoying. I don't want to go to the Great Court Meeting for many reasons. One of them is that I don't want to go to a place full of desires."
"If you want to carry forward metaphysics, the only way is to stay in Chang'an. There are old men in Chang'an who have everything needed for metaphysics. When you go back, metaphysics will be reborn. Good disciples, good sects, everything will be so familiar."
Chu He opened the stopper of the wine bag.
This is a fine wine from Chang'an, with a fragrant aroma.
"But I can't get through here!"
Ning Yayun suddenly slapped her left chest, making a thumping sound.
"I can't live with my heart!"
Chu He's face froze and he slowly put the wine cork back.
"Headmaster Ning! What do you mean?"
"I am suffering in my heart!"
When they faced the fate of being expelled from the Imperial College, teachers and students were panicked. Students asked to leave one after another. The crowded and bustling Imperial College suddenly became deserted.
He was at a loss at that time.
Where can I go?
Living in Chang'an is not easy. If you want to open a mountain gate in Chang'an, your meager financial background in metaphysics is simply not enough.
The Moonlight Clan is so helpless.
At that time, Ning Yayun even prepared to take the remaining teachers and students to find a mountain to support themselves.
He knew that in just a few years, most of the remaining disciples would leave. Those who remained were either strong-willed or without any opinion.
At this moment, Yang Xuan extended a helping hand.
He knew that Yang Xuan needed metaphysics to help him control the situation.
But at that time, Yang Xuan risked the emperor's wrath by reaching out, but he went beyond the idea of using metaphysics.
After all, he couldn't bear to see his former sect decline.
He can risk his own future for metaphysics!
Where is I?
Go to Chang'an!
Enjoy it all with peace of mind.
Can I feel at ease?
oh!
I can still comfort myself with my Taoist heart. I have no choice but to submit to the emperor because of the oath I made.
OK?
Chu He asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"
Ning Yayun pointed to her left chest, "I'm asking about my heart."
"So, is there any result?"
…
At the top of the city, Yang Xuan took a sip of wine and said, "What is the headmaster thinking about?"
The old thief said: "Lang Jun is really willing to leave metaphysics?"
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "What can I do if I can't bear to leave? Do you have to force me to stay? It's not sweet to force yourself. Rather than falling out and breaking up in the future, it's better to be more free and easy now and break up in one fell swoop. At least you can keep your self-esteem."
"Self-respect is worthless!" said the old thief.
"I am the leader of a state. If my self-esteem is gone, who will respect me?" Yang Xuan pointed to his left chest, "I feel sad when I think of so many good people leaving. But what can I do? Could I lose my temper and get drunk...
…”
He raised his head and took a few sips of wine, then burped and said, "I told you, Chenzhou, you can come and go freely."
The old thief muttered: "An Siye definitely wants to stay in Chenzhou, and those professors, Lang Jun is very capable, why didn't he overthrow the headmaster Ning."
"Stop saying such things!" Yang Xuan took a sip of wine. "My methods will not be used on my own people. This is a limit. When I cross the limit, I will probably change and become a person who only knows power.
The monster is the same as the one in Chang'an now."
The old thief sighed, "Chu He must have brought the best conditions. I'm afraid Headmaster Ning won't be able to hold on."
Chu He's voice came from ahead.
Very big!
"So, is there any result?"
"Yes."
Ning Yayun's voice was still calm.
"I'm not going!"
"Ning Yayun! Old dog!"
Chu He shouted sharply, "Do you dare to disobey Chang'an?"
"I, a man from the mountains and wilds, do not know the emperor!"
"Ning Yayun, aren't you afraid of the Taoist heart backlash?"
"Tao heart, Tao practice, what is the purpose of cultivation? To seek immortality." Ning Yayun's voice became clearer and clearer, "If my heart is not at peace, I would rather leave now!"
"Then, let's make it happen for you!"
At the top of the city, Yang Xuan was startled, "What a bastard! It seems like... there was a falling out?"
The old thief said in disbelief: "It seems like he is going to take action!"
Yang Xuan was overjoyed, "Fuck you!"
A crowd of guards came up.
Qiu Longwei is too sensitive to attack people in the palace.
Uda came down with his men.
"Go to Metaphysics quickly to report the news and ask An Siye to come with his good hands!"
Yang Xuan was very happy, "Let the cavalry prepare!"
Ahead, the sound of swords being drawn could be heard endlessly.
"Is this a group fight?" Boss Yang squinted his eyes, "Isn't this bullying? Open the city gate!"
