"What do you mean there is no benefit and no meaning?" Shangguanchan sat down again in confusion, thinking in her mind, could the old man loose his tone?
Yue Yanzhi sat by the bed, pondered for a long time, and still sighed: "Hey... I know no one wants to believe this, but what I say is true. Even if you know the secret, you won't get any benefits.
, On the contrary, once this secret is known, it is likely to make the whole world turbulent. I will not tell you even if I die, because I don’t want to make the world turbulent and make the country unstable! "
Shangguan Chan was not surprised, but rather looked down upon: "Alarmist?"
Yue Yanzhi spread his hands: "It's the same whether you believe it or not. That's all I can say. If I didn't see that you were different from others, I wouldn't tell you even these few words."
Xia Shang said nothing and looked at Shangguanchan curiously.
Xia Shang had already thought about it. It no longer mattered what the secret was. As long as Shangguan Chan could let go of his worries, the matter would be over.
Shangguan Chan looked at Xia Shang: "I heard that Xian'er's Gu technique can control a person..."
"Save it, don't be too whimsical." Xia Shang's expression was slightly serious, "I can obey you on some things, and you must obey me on some things."
"You!" Shangguanchan was sullen, but seeing that Xia Shang was different from usual, he was a little scared. He didn't feel like saying anything at the moment, so he turned around and left the room.
Shangguan Chan left. Xia Shang did not chase him out. Instead, he turned to Yue Yanzhi and asked: "Mr. Yue, your injury is almost healed now. The next time is to recuperate. I wonder what your plans are after this?"
"What can I plan?"
"If Mr. Yue thinks of me and is willing to cooperate with me and not make things difficult for me, then you can live here. As you have seen before, the beautiful scenery here has attracted some ordinary people. As time goes by, there will definitely be more
People will move here. Maybe within two years, a small village will be formed under the mountain and by the lake. If Mr. Yue can live in seclusion here and never care about worldly affairs, everyone will be happy. If Mr. Yue insists on returning to Jiangnan, he wants to rely on
If you do something with your appeal, I will inevitably take my husband’s life even if I don’t want to.”
Yue Yanzhi smiled bitterly: "I have obsessions, but I am not an ignorant person. There is no other choice in the current situation, let alone
I have no shame in embarrassing you. The mountains and clear waters here are beautiful and it is a fairyland. If I can live in seclusion here and spend the rest of my life, it would be a beautiful thing."
"If Mr. Yue has such an idea, I can rest assured. Otherwise, I will send Mr. Yue down the mountain so that he can first find a livable place at the foot of the mountain and build a small courtyard with one room."
"It's okay...it's okay..."
Although I didn't get Yue Yanzhi's secret, it was already great to have such a result.
Xia Shang took Yue Yanzhi out, then notified the five new disciples from before, and sent Yue Yanzhi to the forest on the other side of the mountain lake.
Not far away is a house where a family of four lives.
The owner of the house recognized Xia Shang and hurriedly came out to say hello.
It was also the kindness of Xia and Shang before that made the Orion not afraid of the people coming down from Sunri Mountain and took the initiative to come up and inquire.
"Master Cult Leader, what are you doing here?"
Xia Shang pointed at Yue Yanzhi: "I want to find a piece of land for this old gentleman to build a courtyard."
"That's good! The old gentleman is a scholar at first sight. If he becomes our neighbor, we will be proud of him."
Yue Yanzhi smiled lightly: "If I can stay here, I will set up a private school here one day, and I can teach the children of various families when I have nothing to do."
When Orion heard this, his expression became serious, and he quickly bowed to Yue Yanzhi: "The old gentleman can teach, he is really our benefactor! We have two children, and we are worried about not being able to learn poetry and calligraphy!"
Yue Yanzhi returned the gesture and nodded.
Xia Shang took Yue Yanzhi to choose a site in the forest. Although there were many weeds and trees here, the terrain was flat and very conducive to construction.
However, literati all pay attention to elegance. Mr. Yue hoped to find a place with better scenery, so he hesitated.
The eldest of the five new disciples brought by Xia Shang was unhappy. He said that he had such a good time to not learn kung fu, but he wanted to come here to help an unrelated old man build a house?
Doesn’t this still treat them as coolies?
"Leader..." Yuan Yi couldn't help but ask from behind.
"how?"
"We are here to practice martial arts, not to build houses."
"Do you think that except for martial arts training, other things are not important?"
Yuan Yi nodded.
"
When you come to Mingjiao, Mingjiao will teach you martial arts. You have gained your skills from Mingjiao, but what did Mingjiao get from you?"
"..." Yuan Yi frowned and did not answer.
"I know you all have doubts in your hearts, but there is not much difference between studying under a teacher and doing business. Do you only think about getting, but don't think about giving? There are no such good things in the world."
"But we have been here for so many days, but we haven't learned anything."
"You said before that you joined the Ming Cult to protect yourself. No one can hurt you here, so why are you so anxious?"
Yuan Yi was a little unhappy, but said nothing and retreated with his head lowered.
After a while, Yue Yanzhi found a piece of land he liked, and Xia Shang ordered a few people to start taking action.
Even Orion came to help.
Several people were cleaning up the land, and a weak female voice appeared next to Xia Shang: "Leader... don't blame big brother."
Xia Shang turned his head and saw Ruan Xi nervously approaching him.
"The eldest brother is burdened with a blood feud. He wants to learn how to join the Xuzhou Army and follow the imperial army to kill Japanese pirates."
"It's not a good idea to vent your anger in reward."
"I know that brother is too impatient. The leader will not teach us kung fu in vain. We will definitely serve the Mingjiao well. It doesn't matter if the leader doesn't teach Ruan Xi kung fu. I hope the leader can teach me more..."
"Martial arts training depends on talent." Xia Shang said calmly, "Do your job well, and someone will come to see you later..."
"Yeah." Ruan Xi nodded, holding a hoe and joining the people working.
When dusk arrived, Xia Shang called everyone: "Okay, that's it for today. In the next period of time, you will help Mr. Yue build the yard."
The five people wiped their sweat, frowned and nodded in agreement.
A few people dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and were very aggrieved.
Just when someone was about to complain, a fairy-like beauty suddenly walked out from behind the leader in front of him, which made several men crazy.
"This is……"
"This will be your master from now on."
Xue Lengxiang came out, stood in front of the five people, and glanced coldly: "If you are willing to become a disciple, just stay. If you are not willing, just get out."
