The more Qin Lin and the Master talked, the more excited they became, and the way they talked gradually changed.
At first, Qin Lin would express some of her own views and opinions, but later on, it became like him asking questions and asking for advice, and the master answered them one by one.
Even when Xue Qingshan, Xue Qin and Xue Xiaobao came out of Dacheng Hall after offering incense, Qin Lin kept asking Master for advice.
Xue Qingshan, like Qin Shaoyou, were both vulgar martial artists. He could not understand what the two of them quoted from scriptures and found it boring, but he did not dare to interrupt them.
However, Xue Xiaobao listened very seriously, and occasionally he couldn't help but feel happy, as if he had gained something... just scratching his head and ears, looking similar to Sun Hou'er.
Whenever the master saw Xue Xiaobao like this, he would smile and feel happy that he had gained something.
After more than half an hour, the discussion between the two ended.
However, Qin Lin was injured and lacked energy, and this kind of discussion was extremely mentally draining, making him very tired and unable to support himself.
Otherwise, let alone half an hour, even if the discussion lasted for ten days and a half, Qin Lin would not stop.
After all, such an opportunity is really rare.
Seeing Qin Lin swaying weakly, Qin Shaoyou hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Qin Lin looked back and thanked her, looking at Qin Shaoyou with eyes full of admiration, and then apologized to Xue Qingshan and his wife. It was obviously the Xue family who came to see and apprentice today, but he took up a lot of time. It was really rude.
Xue Qingshan and Xue Qin waved their hands repeatedly and said it was okay.
Xue Qingshan even shamelessly said: "I have benefited a lot from the discussion between the two great scholars!"
Qin Shaoyou rolled his eyes quietly: You have the nerve to say that you have benefited a lot? Do you really think I didn't see it? You used your blood to suppress several yawns in a row?
Qin Lin probably noticed this situation, but he just smiled and did not point it out. He raised his hand to the master and said, "I really admire the master's profound knowledge. After listening to what he said today, I am very impressed.
Many confusions have been answered. I wonder if you, sir, would like to serve as an official? I can recommend him. With his great talent, he will certainly be able to make great achievements and benefit the people of the country."
The Master shook his head and said slowly: "Forget it about becoming an official. I really longed to be an official so that I could put into practice what I have learned. I have also been an official, but unfortunately my official career was inconsistent and it was difficult to be reused and put into practice.
Revenge. Now that I can no longer be an official, I can only find some good young people and teach them how to behave in society and serve the people as an official, so that these energetic young people can change the world and benefit the people of the country.
"
Qin Lin was unwilling to give up and persuaded her again: "I wonder why you can't be an official? Today's court does not have strict requirements for officials' background. Or maybe you have other concerns or worries? You can tell me and I will do my best.
, Mr. Xiangzhu.”
The master smiled and said nothing, just waved his hand.
Qin Lin had no choice but to carry the master away, right? She could only pat Qin Erlang beside her, and the next best thing was: "While we are in Luocheng, can Erlang and Xiaobao come together to listen to the teacher's lectures?"
?”
"Of course." The master said with a smile.
Qin Lin pulled Qin Erlang and bowed to the master to express her gratitude. After finishing, she asked, "I wonder if you, sir, have anything to say. I would like to give this to Erlang."
The master thought for a while and said two words:
"The ruler is like a bowl, and the people are like water. The bowl is square and the water is square, and the bowl is round and the water is round."
"If the superior is doubtful, the people will be confused; if the subordinate is difficult to understand, the ruler will be troubled."
Xue Qingshan was confused when he heard it and felt that he did not understand its meaning.
Qin Shaoyou is a little better. He at least understands that the first one is saying "what goes up has the effect down" and "the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked", while the latter one seems to be saying that if the person in the upper position is unclear about right and wrong, the common people will not know what to do.
.If those in lower positions are hypocritical and treacherous, the monarch will work extra hard.
Fortunately, I was able to pass the ancient Chinese reading at the beginning.
Xue Xiaobao obviously understood these two sentences, and looked at Qin Erlang with a little more curiosity.
After hearing these two words from Master, Qin Lin's expression changed slightly. She must have been thinking of certain people and certain things.
He took Qin Erlang, saluted the Master again, and told Qin Erlang: "You must remember your teacher's church!"
Qin Erlang said solemnly: "Yes, students must keep it in mind and never forget it."
Next, Xue Qingshan and Xue Qinshi said some words to the master before saying goodbye and leaving.
Xue Xiaobao originally wanted to stay, but was driven away by the Master.
"You have been away from home for many days, making your parents worried. You just returned home yesterday. You should spend time with your parents today to fulfill your filial piety, and wait until you come back to class tomorrow."
After saying that, he nodded to Qin Erlang: "You will also come with me tomorrow."
"Yes." Qin Erlang accepted the order with his hands raised.
Xue Xiaobao was a little reluctant, but he did not go against the master's arrangement and said hello.
Immediately, a group of people still did not go out through the mansion in front, but climbed out through the wall they came from.
Watching Qin Shaoyou and others leave, the Master turned around and cupped his hands in the direction of the Demon Suppression Division, as if greeting someone.
Then he walked into the Dacheng Hall with a smile on his face.
After a while, an academic official came to the Confucian Temple from the previous school.
He looked around, then walked into the Dacheng Hall and looked around. He didn't see anyone. He couldn't help but wonder: "Strange, I just heard someone coming from the Confucian Temple, why didn't I see anyone?"
Is there anyone there? It's not a thief, right?"
He looked around carefully and found nothing missing, but there were three sticks of incense emitting green smoke in the incense burner in front of the statue of the Holy Master hanging in the temple.
Apparently it was newly inserted into the incense burner not long ago.
"It turns out that some students have been here, I tell you. But they were quite early today."
The academic officer let out a sigh of relief, shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked out of the Dacheng Hall.
On the other side, after leaving the Confucian Temple and returning to Yaosi in Luocheng Town, Qin Lin went back to the house to rest and asked Qin Erlang and Xue Xiaobao to endorse outside the house.
Xue Xiaobao was unwilling, but under the persuasion of Xue Qingshan's fist, he had no choice but to obey, which made the night watchmen in the Demon Suppression Department marvel and laughed and said that the sun came out from the west today.
Xue Qingshan went to the mission room to work, while Xue Qin went back to the backyard to rest.
After Qin Qiaoer removed the disguise technique from herself and Qin Shaoyou, she started to practice visualization in front of her "Da Xia Law" in the room.
Qin Shaoyou did not go back to the house, but found Xue Qingshan and told him what he had discovered.
After hearing this, Xue Qingshan looked calm.
This made Qin Shaoyou a little surprised.
"Brother-in-law, did you already know this?"
"It's just some speculation. Yesterday I asked someone to check, and they said that there is no such person in the Confucian Temple."
When Xue Qingshan said this, he paused and then said: "Today in the Confucian Temple, your sixth sister and the Duke of Qin should have noticed that the master is unusual. After all, he has never treated himself from the beginning to the end.
The fact that he has concealed his non-human identity shows that he doesn't care about it."
Qin Shaoyou recalled briefly and felt that what Xue Qingshan said was correct, so he asked again: "Then what are your plans?"
Xue Qingshan said: "I have already worshiped my master, what else can I do? No matter whether this master is a human or a demon, or a being like our ancestor. As long as he has no ill intentions and does not do bad things, he will be my ruler in the Great Xia Dynasty.
He is a kind person. Not to mention, even people like Qin Gong highly praise him, which shows that his ability is absolutely extraordinary. To have such a great scholar who is willing to teach Xiaobao carefully is an achievement that our Xue family has cultivated for eight lifetimes.
What a blessing! I will have someone register him later and personally deliver the relevant identification documents to the Confucian Temple."
Qin Shaoyou nodded.
Compared with the spirit, he suspected that the master was an existence like the Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, so he agreed with Xue Qingshan's arrangement, but he just joked: "You don't even know who Duke Qin is, okay?"
Xue Qingshan laughed loudly: "Although I don't know who he is, I know that his identity is definitely not simple. This is enough."
