Hongye saw Gu Baiyi's deep eyes, as if he understood something, and his eyes immediately showed brilliance: "Elder brother, could it be that Master wants me to practice among the people? He thinks that I...!"
"Because you are young." Gu Baiyi interrupted her interest decisively: "You are a junior sister. If we don't leave those trivial matters to you, why should we do them?"
Hongye gritted his teeth and glared at Gu Baiyi fiercely.
"My senior brother is a clerk. He has official duties every day and serves the country, so naturally he can't spare time. The second idiot is more likely to fail than to succeed, so it's best to let him watch the gate of the academy." Gu Baiyi said seriously and thoughtfully.
He said: "Your third senior brother is far away in Taihu Lake and has tens of thousands of people to worry about. However, it is not easy to send other people from the academy to handle the things the master has ordered. Looking at the entire academy, it seems that there is no one else to choose from except you.
"
Hongye stood up slowly and bowed slightly: "Farewell!"
Gu Baiyi said to himself: "But the result was a mistake."
"What's the meaning?"
"The academy's first department is exactly the opposite of the sword valley's first department." Gu Baiyi leaned on his chair and said with a smile: "Sword Valley's disciples need to be diligent in martial arts, and the two words are to avoid the world. But if the academy's disciples want to advance, they have to
It's precisely in the word "joining the world."
Hongye sat down again and said, "Escape from the world? But that sword god seems to have been living in the world all his life."
"On the outside, you can live in the world, but on the inside, you can avoid it." Gu Baiyi's expression became serious: "Only by joining the world and seeing the world, can we escape from the world. If you don't even know the ups and downs of the seven emotions and six desires in the world, how can you escape from the world?"
There was a rare look of respect in Hongye's eyes.
"There are thousands of books in the academy, covering everything. The disciples of the academy have to practice in the sea of books since they were young, and read a lot of books." Gu Baiyi said: "Students all think that the book is all-encompassing. If you read more than ten thousand volumes, you will know the world.
Matter. In fact, Gudeng Ancient Scrolls are just an escape from the world. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. When you are in the academy, it seems that you only care about world affairs, but in fact you don’t understand everything in the world." He sighed and said: "Disciple of Sword Valley
When they first get started, they will be asked to travel around the world and find their own hobbies. Once they have an obsessed hobby, they can then retreat to practice. If they can forget their hobbies, they will be able to make great progress. Unfortunately, once people have hobbies, they may even become addicted and want to give up.
, That is a thousand and one difficulties. And the academy disciples have to dive into the sea of books when they first start, and when they have read through thousands of books, they have to travel thousands of miles. However, some people are obsessed with the solitary ancient scrolls and cannot extricate themselves."
Hongye's clear eyes were full of surprise: "What does senior brother mean, is that the academy disciples can advance only by walking out of the door? Why didn't the master say it? Why didn't he let them see those in the academy holding ancient scrolls all day long?
go out?"
"This is personal enlightenment." Gu Baiyi shook his head and said: "Teachers are just guides. How to walk the road and how far you can go, you have to rely on yourself. If the master breaks it, it will not only be useless, but also harmful, and even
No further improvement is possible."
Hong Ye suddenly realized it, and then frowned and said: "In that case, why would Senior Brother tell the truth today?"
"Because you have already entered the world." Gu Baiyi said with a smile: "What you said to me today is completely different from the little junior sister who didn't care about the world. You have come out of the book and your understanding has been enlightened, so there is no need to
Conceal it." With a soft expression, he said gently: "Entering the mortal world and feeling the ups and downs of the world will be of great benefit to your cultivation. The master sent you to Xiling for enlightenment, hoping to lead you into the world. You have been in Xiling for three years, and
It’s completely different compared to before.”
"What's the difference?"
"Concerned!" Gu Baiyi stared at the red leaves: "You have concerns in your heart."
Hongye said calmly: "I have nothing to worry about!"
"In that case, Qin Xiao came to Beijing, why did you go to visit him in the middle of the night?"
Hongye was startled, and Gu Baiyi's voice was calm: "As the junior sister back then, I would never run out of the academy for anyone in the middle of the night. That night you sneaked out of the academy, Master knew everything about it, and it was because of that night that Master began to treat you
I have high hopes and am very pleased.”
"I...I'm not visiting." Hongye's eyes were a little flustered, and he whispered: "I...!" But he didn't know how to say it.
"Whether you have seen him or not, since you appeared downstairs next to him that night, it proves that you are already concerned about him." Gu Baiyi said sternly: "To be concerned is to join the world, and to be in the world is to have worries. Hongye, this is not a bad thing.
Reading thousands of books is never for self-entertainment, but for the purpose of joining the world."
Hongye lowered his head and remained silent.
"Your second senior brother's martial arts cultivation has made rapid progress in the past few years. Master even gave him [Liu Mo] this time. All this is due to his great entry into the world." Gu Baiyi said slowly: "Cultivate yourself, harmonize your family, and govern the country.
In the world, this is the path of the academy, and it is also the only way to become a ninth-grade master."
Hongye smiled bitterly and said: "If the family manages the country and brings peace to the world, what does it have to do with women?"
"What you do depends on your heart!" Gu Baiyi said, "When you truly have the heart to help the world, you will be on the right path of a ninth-grade master."
Hongye seemed to understand something. He stood up and saluted Gu Baiyi: "Thank you, senior brother, for your advice!"
Gu Baiyi was about to say something, but then he frowned, waved his right arm, a strong wind blew by, and the lone lamp on the table was immediately extinguished.
"There is someone!" Hongye responded quickly and whispered.
"According to the situation!" Gu Baiyi quickly floated to the bed, put on his clothes and lay down. Hongye also ducked and hid in the corner of the room like a ghost. The whole room was dark and silent.
In the dark night, two people fell into the courtyard from the back wall. Two pairs of eyes quickly observed the surroundings, and one of them whispered: "Fourth Senior Brother, the person named Gu must be here."
"Are you sure it was him who led the Taihu thieves into the city?" The voice of the person in front was as thin as an ant, and his eyes swept around like poisonous snakes, but it was none other than Starscream.
"It was he who led the people to rescue those gentry." The man behind him whispered: "When Pan Weixing returned to the Governor's Mansion, this man greeted him outside the Governor's Mansion. Pan Weixing was also very polite to him. This shows that this man
His identity is unusual."
Starscream sneered: "There are too many people around Changsun Yuanxin, and his own martial arts is not weak, so he can't find an opportunity to attack. Since this person named Gu has an unusual identity, we will directly take his head tonight, so that's it."
We can give an explanation to Master so that we won’t be shameless to see him."
"Fourth Senior Brother, does You Ming know about this?" The man behind him asked in a low voice: "You Ming has told you not to worry about the people of the Queen Mother Association burning, killing and looting, but our people must not act rashly without his instructions.
It would be easy for us to kill the person named Gu, but if You Ming knew that we didn’t inform him in advance, would it...!"
"We came to Jiangnan on Master's orders to help him, but we are not his disciples. If we give him face, we will just listen to him. If we don't give him face, how dare he touch Master's people?" Starscream said coldly.
: "If he had taken action in time that day, She Yue might not have been able to escape Suzhou City. It was because of his indecisiveness and left everything to the Qian family that he failed. Now it is not about him pursuing us, but how he should explain to the Master.
.”
"Actually, You Ming is also worried that once we take action, the court will discover the clues." The man behind him was still very cautious: "Let the Qian family stand in the front, and we will be safe."
Starscream's tone suddenly became serious: "Thirteen, are you a member of Master or of his Netherworld? If you are hesitant, you can leave now. I will handle this matter by myself."
"Fourth Senior Brother has misunderstood." Thirteen said hurriedly: "Fourth Senior Brother, as long as I have instructions, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"This is just human talk." Starscream's tone softened: "I only brought you here to give you the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds. After I take the head of Gu back and see Master, I will naturally perform meritorious deeds for you.
.”
Thirteen immediately thanked him, then pointed to Gu Baiyi's room and said: "The lights in the room were on just now, and the person named Gu should be inside. But he just took a rest and is probably not asleep yet. Fourth senior brother, let's go again
Wait for a while, wait for him to fall asleep, and then go over and take his head quietly."
"If you want to kill a weak scholar, do you need to wait for him to fall asleep?" Starscream said disdainfully: "Taking his head is like searching a bag for something." Without hesitation, he quietly approached the house.
, Thirteen saw this and could only follow him.
The two of them walked very lightly, and when they reached the back window, Starscream poked lightly with his finger and broke the window paper. He looked inside and found that it was completely dark inside, but there was a steady sound of purring.
"Asleep." A smile appeared on Starscream's lips: "I hope he is awake. It would be exciting to see him open his eyes and see his head being taken out alive." There was excitement in his eyes.
, without any delay, he gently opened the window and walked in through the window. Thirteen followed closely behind and got into the house through the back window.
After the window was opened, the moonlight shone in, and he could vaguely see clearly. Starscream's eyes fell on the bed, and he saw a person lying on the bed, snoring, but with one hand behind his back, he walked slowly to the bed and stared at it.
Gu Baiyi was on the bed, with an evil smile on his lips. He walked back and forth beside the bed several times leisurely and in no hurry to start.
"It's no fun to kill him like this." Starscream turned around and saw Thirteen standing a few steps behind him. He chuckled and said, "Thirteen, light the lamp and wake him up. I want to feel him.
The fear before death depends on his begging eyes."
Thirteen stood there as straight as a statue, seemingly not hearing what Starscream was saying.
Seeing this, Starscream frowned and said displeased: "Didn't you hear?"
"He can't hear." A woman's voice came from behind Thirteen: "The dead cannot hear the words of the living. If you want him to hear, just die with him and you will hear." In the voice, a voice
The graceful figure slowly walked out from behind Thirteen, and then Thirteen's body straightened forward and fell down, hitting the ground hard with a "bang".
