Chapter 379: Talking at night while holding candles 1
Under the moonlight, Chen Mo and Wukou were sitting on the roof, each holding a jar of wine.
"You are so heartless that you didn't even bother to see how my sister was doing. The doctor needs to know the follow-up when treating the disease." Wukou looked at Chen Mo who had been staying in the yard all day and said.
"I'm not a doctor. If something happens to her, you will be more anxious than me." Chen Mo took a sip of the Changjing wine that the military commander mentioned. It was fragrant and fragrant. It was indeed a good wine.
"You are really determined." Wu Kou said.
"You didn't become a general because you were impatient, right? If you care about your sister so much, others might use her as your weakness in the future." Chen Mo reminded that although he had never been an official, he had heard of those in the officialdom.
There is intrigue and deception.
"Who dares? Even if I am the King of Heaven, I will peel off his skin." Wu Kou said with confidence. "But, do you really think that my sister is a weak woman?"
"It is true that the body is weak, but in other aspects..." Chen Mo said as he thought of the people around Wu Ling'er, the woman in black, the maids who were warriors, and the general in front of him who was still determined to protect her.
There must be other warriors like her.
"But the intrigues and intrigues in official circles are always hard to guard against. It is said that it is easy to hide from an open gun and hard to guard against a hidden arrow."
"No, no, they won't take my sister as a woman seriously. They are very busy themselves. At most, I am the only one who stands out." Wukou said with a smile.
"You can see clearly."
"Would you like to join our army and become a deputy general for you?" said the warrior.
"Do you want me to be your bodyguard?" Chen Mo pointedly poked fun at the warrior's true intentions.
"Where are you, brothers? If you and I join forces, our combat power will definitely be improved to another level. You don't know, we often encounter some difficult masters. With you here, I will feel a lot more relaxed."
"If you can't stand up, if you fire thousands of arrows, even I will be shot into a hedgehog." What Chen Mo said is reasonable. Warriors are not invincible.
"Okay, I see you don't agree with your tone, I won't waste my words anymore, just go and be a fish in your world." Wukou was no longer telling him this matter.
"It's good to be a fish, but it's better to be a salted fish."
After saying that, the two wine jars touched lightly.
...
Late at night, Wu Ling'er, who had slept all day, did not fall asleep. Instead, he lay on the bed, reading a few loose letters. Pei Ling, who was sitting next to the bed, was reading a medical book, and suddenly the medical book in her hand suddenly
He put it down, looked outside, and said, "Madam, Mr. Chen is here."
"It seems that he can't sleep either." Wu Ling'er still looked at the letter in his hand.
Chen Mo went upstairs without making a sound, just like a night owl.
The room was very warm, and the charcoal fire of a wealthy family was burning as if it was free of charge.
"Are you alone?" Wu Ling'er put the letter aside and looked at Chen Mo and said.
"Wu Kou can't drink enough." Chen Mo said lightly and sat down on the chair that Pei Ling brought.
"Pei Ling, please step back first."
"Yes, empress." Pei Ling gave the two a blessing and then withdrew.
After Pei Ling retreated, Wu Ling'er said, "What do you think of my condition now?"
"It should be no problem, but we need to observe it for a few more days. Besides, you are still weak and can't be impatient. Moreover, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. You have a lot of things to deal with, right?"
"I'm really impatient." Wu Ling'er laughed at himself.
Both of them fell silent. Chen Mo didn't know what to say. He came here just to check on Wu Ling'er's condition.
"In that case, I'll go back and you can rest," Chen Mo said.
"I've been sleeping all day, and I can't sleep. Can you talk to me?" Wu Ling'er tried to persuade her. Although she and senior sister Chen Mo knew each other, they didn't have much communication with each other.
Chen Mo just wanted to stand up and sat down again.
"In the dead of night, when a man and a woman live together in the same room, would it be possible..."
"Haha, I would like to chat with you in public, but do you think my body can handle the cold wind?" Wu Ling'er said with a smile, she did not expect Chen Mo to say such a thing.
"..."
"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the teacher. Do you think he is an immortal in the sky?" Wu Ling'er said.
"Are there really immortals in this world?" Chen Mo asked. The immortal's statement was too illusory. Some people said they had seen them, but most of them were fools who were deceived by charlatanism, and many of them were exposed. Chen Mo also
I have seen such deceptions and believed them to be true. After a bunch of cheap guys had their legs broken by someone led by my team leader at that time, I no longer believed it. How could an immortal have his legs broken by a mortal?
"I won't talk about the deceivers in the world, but the three religions in the world, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, they believe in ghosts and gods and only speak, but their attitudes are different."
"The Confucian attitude towards ghosts and gods is indifferent and respectful. They believe in their existence but do not interfere with each other. Therefore, to be precise, they may not have seen immortals, and they believe that the closest to immortals is not the saint they claim to be, but the saint they claim to be.
The emperor, who is now the emperor, must be the incarnation of the gods because the people revere the gods, but there are too many emperors in the world today."
"Taoism originally had a similar attitude to Confucianism, but now Taoism believes in the theory of immortals. Many people today can't distinguish between Taoism and Taoism. They are both separate and connected. Taoism has more knowledge and thinking, and
Confucianism is almost the same, while Taoism is a group, a bit similar to a family and a country. The two are connected, just like the soul and the body." Wu Ling'er looked at Chen Mo's frown and raised the corner of his mouth, knowing that he didn't understand.
So I didn't continue talking.
"What people call Taoism now basically refers to Taoism, those people who hold whisks. Their practice is basically to become immortals, so they must admit that immortals exist, and they can indeed do things like moving mountains and filling mountains.
The magic of the sea."
"Practitioners at the peak have great abilities." Chen Mo interjected. What he meant was that those techniques of moving mountains and filling seas were nothing more than the power of the realm.
"If one is so powerful in martial arts, wouldn't he be regarded as an immortal in the eyes of the people?" Wu Ling'er asked in return.
"In my opinion, immortals not only have great abilities, but they must also be immortal, or live for hundreds or thousands of years, otherwise how can they be called immortals." Chen Mo expressed his views on immortals.
"I have never seen anyone who is immortal. There are many people who say that they have lived for hundreds of years, but they are all tricks to deceive people for money and beauty. But Taoism, such as the Taoist Holy Land, Shenxiao Pavilion, does have many people who can live.
For people who are over a hundred years old, according to their records, some people have lived for more than 140 years. They also have another theory about their reincarnation. It is said that their current leader is the fifth generation reincarnation of their ancestor.
"
"It's just what they said. No way to prove it, I can't tell. The liar said these things to deceive the ignorant people. But they, the emperors, generals and ministers admired them very much." Chen Mo said what he thought.
"Buddhism is interesting. According to my understanding, all immortals, ghosts and gods are in the six realms, which means we are on equal footing, just like us and ants. If you don't envy me, I don't have to envy you. So in Buddhism
I don’t want to become an immortal, but I want to become a Buddha and a Bodhisattva in the eyes of the world.”
"But what you said has nothing to do with Master." Chen Mo said.
"Indeed, perhaps immortals are just like Teacher Xiang, not as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism imagine. Immortals must be different." Wu Ling'er said with a smile.
"It is indeed different, but as an immortal, I don't think he should be like him. He is more like a street scoundrel." Although Chen Mo did not remember the appearance of the master, his behavior left a deep impression on him. He did not believe in an immortal.
He can also say things that tease women. Immortals don't love the mortal world, but he is very obsessed with the mortal world.
"Do you think so? But I think the teacher is quite interesting." Wu Ling'er said. "He can explain many principles in an easy-to-understand way."
"Easy to understand? I don't understand a lot of what he told me." Chen Mo shook his head and said.
"The environment is different, our opinions are just different." Wu Ling'er did not deny what Chen Mo said. "When you meet the teacher, will you be able to read?"
Chen Mo shook his head.
"As for me, I have been reading since I was three years old, and started learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I knew a lot before I met the teacher, and what the teacher said was easier to understand than what the previous gentlemen taught me. But
The principles are almost the same.”
"So what the teacher says is easier for me to accept than you are."
"Maybe the teacher also wants to teach you other things, but he has to teach you literacy from scratch. It's too troublesome. I might as well teach you martial arts."
Chen Mo nodded, what Wu Ling'er said made sense, but fortunately, the master didn't teach him, otherwise he would think he was even stupider, and it took him a long time to learn to read.
"Tell me, does the teacher have other disciples besides us?" Wu Ling'er suddenly asked.
"I didn't think about this problem before I met you, but then I thought about it after meeting you at Mount Liusu," Chen Mo said.
"If there is, will it pop out one day?"
"It was just an accident that you and I met and recognized each other. It was only through the dark spots on your face that I realized that we are the same master. Therefore, even if someone from the same discipline pops up, we would not know it."
"Have you ever thought that our meeting was not by chance?" Wu Ling'er looked at him.
"How to say?"
"How did you come to Liusu Mountain? If you want to practice, Shenxiao Pavilion is closer to you. It can be said that it is right at your doorstep. There are many masters there." Wu Ling'er asked.
"There are many reasons. Because I use a knife, it's okay to go there to practice, but more importantly, I want to compete with people who use knives. I heard that there are masters with knives at Dao Tu Temple, so I came here."
