Chapter 189: Knowing it with reason, moving it with love
"Mr. Zhuge? Taoist Priest, do you know him?" Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment when he heard Dongfang Yu's words. You must know that he has been in this prison for so long and he doesn't even know the old man's name. But
Dongfang Yu knows him?
"He is Zhuge Wolong!?" Not to mention Ning Caichen, even Yan Chixia looked at the bad old man in the prison in surprise when she heard Dongfang Yu's words.
If Dongfang Yu hadn't said that she came to Ning Caichen's hometown to find Zhuge Wolong, Yan Chixia would never have believed that the old man in front of her, who looked unattractive and even slovenly, was the legendary Zhuge Wolong.
"Eh? Young man? How do you know me? How do you know I'm here?" Zhuge Wolong looked at Dongfang Yu in surprise. He was hiding in this cell and writing notes. Logically speaking, no one should know about him.
It's only right that it exists.
"Young man?" I have to say that in the past few years, no one has called Dongfang Yu this way. With Zhuge Wolong's age, it is not strange to call himself young man. However, Dongfang Yu heard it in his ears.
It feels very pleasant, as if I am much younger.
"Prison head? Can you have a few words with this old gentleman alone?" Dongfang Yu didn't rush to answer Zhuge Wolong's words, but Dongfang Yu turned around first and asked the cell head.
The so-called holding people is short-handed, and besides, in this prison, are you afraid that people will escape? The prison leader naturally agreed to Dongfang Yu's request, nodded and pointed at Ning Caichen and said: "Brother, you also need to freshen up.
I’ll take him there right now.”
"I'm sorry to bother you," Dongfang Yu smiled and nodded, and immediately the prison chief took Ning Caichen out.
Although Yan Chixia also wanted to stay, he also knew that Dongfang Yu wanted to find a way to persuade Zhuge Wolong to come out of the mountain. He could not help much by staying here, so Yan Chixia hesitated for a moment and also found
They wanted to go out for some air and didn't like the atmosphere in the prison, so they left together.
"Okay, there is no one here now, young man, just say it if you have anything to say." After everyone left, Zhuge Wolong invited Dongfang Yu into the cell. Of course, there was no stool for Dongfang Yu to sit on.
That’s it.
"Okay, I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point." After walking into the cell, Dongfang Yu said directly: "I am determined to do a great cause, kill the demons in the court, and destroy the chaos of the ministers.
The party, upright and upright, should give the people of the world a bright future. I am here today just to ask Mr. Zhuge to help me."
"Let me come out to help? Hahaha", Dongfang Yu's words made Zhuge Wolong feel as if he had heard the funniest thing, and said: "The so-called useless person is a scholar, I, a useless person, can help
What are you talking about? Even if I want to quietly write two books, it’s a lot of hard work. When I write travel notes, they say I leak the secrets of the court and write history. I’m also said to use the past to satirize the present and explain the art of war.
They say I instigated rebellion and wrote stories about gods and monsters, and they say I lead people into superstition.”
Having said this, Zhuge Wolong smiled full of self-deprecation and said: "In the end, even if I rewrite the biography of a famous person, in the end this person lost power and was declared a rebel. I was also said to be a comrade and was sentenced.
A life sentence, what can I do for you, a loser like me who can’t even write a good book?"
"Yes, it seems that you are indeed a useless person, but have you ever thought about it? Why is this so? Is it because you are not knowledgeable enough?" Dongfang Yu followed Zhuge Wolong's words and nodded.
"", Dongfang Yu's words made Zhuge Wolong speechless for a moment and unable to answer. Although he laughed at himself as a useless person, literati have been proud since ancient times, and he never felt that his knowledge would be low.
Seeing that Zhuge Wolong couldn't answer for a while, Dongfang Yu smiled and didn't give him time to think, and then said: "No, it's not that you don't have enough knowledge. Who in the vast land of China doesn't know that you are a great scholar, Zhuge Wolong?"
Your name? If your knowledge is low, no one in the world will be more knowledgeable. The reason why you can't even write a book with peace of mind, but can only find peace by hiding in this prison. You are the best in the world.
wrong".
I have to say that Dongfang Yu's words were very pleasant to Zhuge Wolong's ears. However, just based on these words, do you want Zhuge Wolong to come out of the mountain? But it is impossible.
Shaking his head, Zhuge Wolong still refused to leave the prison and go to help Dongfang Yu. In Zhuge Wolong's view, the world is like this, and not everyone can turn things around. He just wants to do learning, and he can only do learning.
Dongfang Yu didn't feel strange about Zhuge Wolong's rejection. It would be incredible if he agreed to her so easily. Dongfang Yu pondered for a moment and said to Zhuge Wolong: "Mr. Zhuge, you come out to help me.
It’s not just for me, Dongfang Yu.”
"I know, it is for the common people of the world." However, before Dongfang Yu could finish speaking, Zhuge Wolong was ahead of him and said the second half of the words. No one is good at learning.
Deceptive.
"No, I'm not talking about the common people in the world, but the scholars in the world." However, Dongfang Yu shook his head and replied: "Even if you don't think about it for the common people in the world, you should also think about it for the scholars in the world."
Do you want to go out of the mountain for your own sake?".
"The world's scholars? Does this have any direct relationship with the world's scholars?" Zhuge Wolong asked a little strangely.
"How come it doesn't matter?" Dongfang Yu looked at Zhuge Wolong seriously and said: "Your knowledge can be said to be second to none in the world, but with your reputation, you can't even write a book if you want to.
Only by hiding in this prison can you find peace. I wonder, who else in the world can write a book with peace of mind?"
After a slight pause, seeing Zhuge Wolong's expression change slightly, Dongfang Yu continued: "Even writing a book is so difficult. Naturally, there are fewer and fewer people who do this. In a few decades, what will happen in this world?"
, maybe even scholars have to be cut off. Do you think this has anything to do with scholars? As long as these troubled times do not change, no one will be able to study with peace of mind."
boom!
Dongfang Yu's words were no less than a thunder in Zhuge Wolong's ears. This truth is correct.
Until troubled times like this end, I won’t be able to study with peace of mind, and the same goes for others. I wonder if there are no more people to write books, will there still be people to read in the future?
In this troubled world, people who read are even less valuable. Over time, people who read will become extinct. This is not an alarmist statement at all.
With Zhuge Wolong's wisdom, he naturally knows this truth, but he has never considered it in this aspect. Today, Dongfang Yu gave me some advice, and Zhuge Wolong naturally thought of this, thinking that there may be no way out for scholars in the future.
, Zhuge Wolong's heart was filled with a sense of urgency.
Looking at Zhuge Wolong's appearance, Dongfang Yu nodded secretly. It seemed that he still had hope. Sure enough, for a scholar like Zhuge Wolong, he might be able to ignore the common people in the world, but he could ignore the world.
A scholar? At least if there are no scholars in the world, who will read the books he left behind? Aren’t they all waste paper?
Well, what Dongfang Yu said hit Zhuge Wolong's sore spot. However, even so, Zhuge Wolong didn't think that Dongfang Yu could really give the world a bright future. He had such ambitions.
That's good, but does he have this ability? Even if he wants to go out, he doesn't necessarily have to assist him, right?
Dongfang Yu was not an idiot. Dongfang Yu could guess what Zhuge Wolong was thinking by looking at him. After thinking about it, he opened the package, took out the dragon vein, and asked Zhuge Wolong: "Do you know what this is?"
Object?".
"What is it?" Zhuge Wolong asked just looking at the dragon vein in Dongfang Yu's hand. Naturally, he didn't recognize it.
"This is the dragon vein of the land of China, and I can control some of its power. Therefore, I have the responsibility to do something for the people of the world. As for my ability?" At this point, Dongfang Yu paused slightly and said: "Say
To be honest, my ability is not very high, but it is precisely because of this that I need the assistance of talents like you."
"Dragon Vein?" Looking at the dragon vein in Dongfang Yu's hand and feeling the awe-inspiring aura emanating from it, Zhuge Wolong's face changed slightly, and then there was a look of thought on his eyebrows.
This is the dragon vein of the land of China. Zhuge Wolong has no doubts. Although he is not a monk, Zhuge Wolong can see the extraordinaryness of the dragon vein at a glance. Can he get the dragon vein? Is this God's will? Let him end this troubled world?
Seeing Zhuge Wolong's deep thought, Dongfang Yu did not rush him and waited patiently.
Zhuge Wolong's eyes were bright, completely different from his previous turbid eyes. Obviously, at a turning point in his life, even a hermit master like Zhuge Wolong had to think carefully. After being silent for a few minutes, Zhuge Wolong said to
Dongfang Yu spoke: "You asked me to assist you, but you want to overthrow the imperial court?".
"No!" Dongfang Yu looked firm and said decisively: "No, you help me, and my purpose is just to set the right course, kill evil spirits, and destroy ministers, that's all. I have never dreamed of sitting on the throne."
Yes, I can only stay in this plane for two years at most. Even if I sit on the throne, what's the point? Besides, even if Dongfang Yu has this intention, whether he can succeed within two years is still a question.
With the dragon vein in hand, it can almost be said that he controls the destiny of the world, but even so, he has no intention of aspiring to the supreme throne. Is it really just for the common people of the world?
Looking at Dongfang Yu's expression, Zhuge Wolong could see that Dongfang Yu didn't look like he was talking. Such feelings made him feel awe in his heart, and he said: "In this case, I promise you
, I hope you can really bring peace to this world."
ps: Thank you to book friend Wang Xianlin for the 10,000 book coin reward. Speaking of which, our monthly pass seems to be very weak. Even if I don’t like to say something in the book asking for a monthly pass, this result seems too disappointing.
A little exciting, right? Brothers and sisters, can you throw in a few monthly passes? To be continued.
