Chapter 284 Scholar

"Junior came here by mistake and saw a temple here, so I came to take a look. I'm very sorry to disturb you." Xu Wuzhou said to the scholar.

The scholar frowned: "I like peace and quiet, so please close the door and leave!"

Xu Wuzhou said at this time: "It's great to have friends from far away. Your Excellency, this is not the way to treat guests."

"You and I have never met, how can we be considered friends?" The scholar took a sip of tea and asked Xu Wuzhou.

"We are all brothers from all over the world, not to mention I also like reading, so we have similar interests. It is not easy to find someone with the same hobbies in this world. You must cherish a friend like me." Xu Wuzhou said.

"Oh? You also like reading? Then you must have some talent?" the scholar said to Xu Wuzhou.

"I dare not say how talented I am, so I can just be considered second in the world." Xu Wuzhou replied.

This sentence made the scholar squint his eyes and look at Xu Wuzhou. This young man had such a loud tone. Who in the world would dare to say this in front of him?

Zhou Si was also stunned, never expecting Xu Wuzhou to say such words. This Taoist scholar was obviously not simple, and it was inappropriate to say such words.

"Second in the world? Who is number one?" the scholar asked Xu Wuzhou.

Zhou Si also looked at Xu Wuzhou and then at the scholar, wondering if Xu Wuzhou knew this scholar and was using this to say that the scholar was the first to please him?

While Zhou Si was thinking about this, she heard Xu Wuzhou say: "The future!"

"Future?" The scholar looked at Xu Wuzhou doubtfully.

"Actually, my talent is unprecedented and unprecedented. However, this is too arrogant and inflated. So claiming to be second in the world should be regarded as someone who can surpass me in the future. This will make me more humble and low-key." Xu Wuzhou answered the scholar.

.

Zhou Si was stunned. She had never seen such humble words before. If such words were spread, wouldn't you be afraid of being beaten to death by all the scholars in the world?

The scholar also burst out laughing at this time: "You have courage and courage. You are the only one in the world who dares to say this in front of me."

"It doesn't count as having courage or guts. It's just a matter of telling the truth." Xu Wuzhou looked at the scholar and said.

The scholar was still sitting there, and he said to Xu Wuzhou: "Studying is about cultivating one's moral character, clarifying principles, knowing good and evil, and distinguishing between right and wrong. All my life, I have been guarding this place, reading and writing, day after day, and filling my heart with wisdom.

The distracting thoughts, evil thoughts, wrong thoughts, evil thoughts... are all forgotten, leaving only the way of a gentleman, tranquility.

If you read a lot, your talent will come naturally. But you don’t have as much talent as you say you have.”

Xu Wuzhou said: "Your Excellency, you don't recognize my talent?"

The scholar said: "There is no book you have read hidden in your temperament."

Xu Wuzhou laughed, looked at the scholar and said: "Senior feels that there is poetry and calligraphy in his belly, but I feel that 'the heart is as free as white clouds, and the mind is like flowing water'. Reading is just an embellishment, and I am me, and I will not do it because of it."

Reading the book changed my personality and mindset."

"How can a person who only treats reading as an ornament compare to a true scholar?" The scholar shook his head and said, "You and I are not the same kind of people. Reading is sacred."

"You won't know until you compare." Xu Wuzhou looked at the scholar and said.

"You want to compete with me?" The scholar looked at Xu Wuzhou.

"Your Excellency has read so many books. I think you are just reading rote books and have never really read the essence of the books." Xu Wuzhou said with a smile, "I want to give you some advice!"

Zhou Si was completely stunned beside her, and she didn't understand why Xu Wuzhou did this. Ever since he met the scholar, Xu Wuzhou had been arrogant and domineering, and now he even said something to give him some advice.

This person in the Taoist temple is definitely not simple!

Guidance? Are you really not afraid that the other party will get angry and beat you to death?

The scholar also smiled, looked at Xu Wuzhou and said, "How do you want to give me some advice?"

"Your Excellency, you can come up with topics, poems and songs of your choice. If I can't overwhelm you with my talent, I can agree to any of your conditions. But if I can overwhelm you with my talent, how about you also agree to one of your conditions?" Xu Wuzhou looked at it.

The scholar said.

"What conditions?" the scholar asked Xu Wuzhou.

"I just need a drop of your blood, it's not too much." Xu Wuzhou looked at the scholar.

When the scholar heard this, his eyes narrowed even more. He looked at Xu Wuzhou and said, "Did you come here specifically to provoke the general just to get a drop of my blood?"

Seeing that the other party saw through it, Xu Wuzhou laughed and said: "Since you have guessed it, I won't hide it. It's not like I came to you on purpose. I heard that there is a holy beast in the Divine Tibetan Domain, so I came here just to look for the holy beast.

I entered by mistake. But since I see you, I want to ask you for a drop of your blood."

"Do you know me?" the scholar asked.

"I don't know! But I happened to see it in a book. It records that in the Nine Palaces Holy Domain, there is a scholar whose essence and blood has miraculous effects. It is said that it can help people cultivate literature. I don't know if it is true, so I want to take a drop to see if it is true or not.

"Xu Wuzhou said to the scholar.

The scholar looked at Xu Wuzhou: "Is that just that?"

Xu Wuzhou said: "Since I told you the purpose, do you think it is necessary for me to lie about the reason? I am not afraid to tell you that I consider myself to be unparalleled in talent! But I can't achieve the goal of embodying literature in my blood, so I want to get it."

Just take a drop of your blood and see how you can do this and make your own strength even further."

The scholar nodded and said: "I believe what you said is the truth. It's just that your talent is unparalleled and you are too arrogant. There is no best scholar in the world."

"That's because I have never appeared in the world before!" Xu Wuzhou replied.

The scholar smiled and said: "Young people are always proud. Scholars hold the Tao and have the responsibility to educate the world. It is a meritorious deed that makes you realize that you are a scholar. Well, let me see your talent!"

"Then I'll ask you to come up with a topic. I won't refuse anyone who comes with poems, lyrics, and songs." Xu Wuzhou said to the scholar.

Zhou Si looked at Xu Wuzhou, who was full of confidence. She didn't know what to say. Looking at the scholar's appearance, she knew that this was a being who had read thousands of books, and his talent must be astonishing. Xu Wuzhou really had no need for such a bet.

Afraid?

At this moment, the scholar shook his head and said: "A year ago, someone discussed poetry and songs with me. Today I don't want to talk about poetry and songs anymore. Let's use couplets to see how talented you are?"

Xu Wuzhou smiled and said: "To me, there is no difference, they are all the same. However, when it comes to couplets, I have a couplet that no one can correct. Are you interested in giving it a try?"

The scholar said: "No one can be right? Then you have to experience it! But if you are right, you will do whatever I want you to do?"

"A scholar will naturally promise you a thousand pieces of gold!" Xu Wuzhou replied solemnly.

"Please!" The scholar looked at Xu Wuzhou, a half-year-old boy.

Xu Wuzhou smiled, and took out a sentence from his mind at will: "smoke along the bright eaves, smoke swallow eyes!"

Xu Wuzhou felt that he should be merciful at the beginning and not show the perverted couplet of "smoke locking willows in the pond".
