Although Zhang Yan was not involved in the affairs of the miscellaneous studies lineage, he knew a lot about it. He also had a general understanding of the nature of those scholars in the miscellaneous studies lineage, so Zhang Yan was not surprised at all when Luo Changshan said such things.
People, especially those who have experienced being surrounded and suppressed by mainstream schools of thought, are even more easily frightened. The first thing they think of is to protect themselves.
However, today is different from the past, and Luo Changshan knew this very well, otherwise he would have let the people from Xiyuan County run away long ago, and would never have thought of asking Zhang Yan for his opinion.
"Senior Luo, is the situation in Xiyuan County so bad? Didn't you say that the defense line has been stabilized before? What? From what you just said, it seems that you are almost out of control?" Zhang Yan was more curious about the situation in Xiyuan County. Some time ago, he
I also heard Zhou Cang talk about it, saying that Lin Zedong brought the Bagua Formation to build a military garrison in Xiyuan County. The soldiers were scattered into chess pieces, and the joint defense was staggered step by step in the way of playing chess on a chessboard. Since the war with the demon clan started this year,
The most eye-catching result.
But listening to what Luo Changshan said, it seems that this is not the case.
"Mr. Zhang, the situation in Xiyuan County is far more critical than the outside world reports. Those monsters are like crazy. They know that the vertical wall in front of them has been cleared, but they still rush towards Baishi City desperately. Although Lieutenant General Lin Zedong in front is very good at fighting,
Although they are plotting, it is still inevitable to retreat under the fierce attack of the demon tribe.
Nowadays, the southwest part of Xiyuan County can be said to be a bare land. Not to mention a living person, not even a mouse can be seen. It is said that even the corpses were used by the demon clan as dry food for the army. The dozen or so people we sent to improve the ordnance were also
They retreated all the way to the vicinity of Baishi City. The demon tribe's camp was already less than a hundred miles away from Baishi City.
In fact, if His Majesty hadn't sent 20,000 forbidden troops before, and the leading 3,000 vanguard troops had arrived at Baishi City to garrison, otherwise, I'm afraid the West Route Army would have continued to retreat and build a defense line instead of holding on.
So the situation is critical."
Zhang Yan frowned. The two words "defend" are enough to explain the current situation in Xiyuan County. And there is no reason to retreat easily once the imperial army arrives.
What Zhang Yan thought of was the days and nights he spent on the Yubei Mountain Fortress. It is not a joke for the demon tribe to go crazy, it is really a life-threatening situation.
"Senior Luo, although the situation is critical, it can still be regarded as an opportunity. What the military talks about is friendship. Only after we have lived and died together can we call ourselves brothers and sisters, and only then can we be accepted by most people instead of just being a simple errand. So.
The younger generation thinks it is better to stay than to leave."
Luo Changshan sighed and said, "What Mr. Zhang said is no different from what those in the army said. He is risking his life."
"Senior, to put it bluntly, as long as you are on the front line, where is the safety and security? If you want to integrate, if you want to change the situation of the miscellaneous students, how can you do it without taking some risks? Just like the efforts of seniors to promote
Our miscellaneous academy, no one can say whether it will be overthrown one day. Didn’t seniors never take a step back? Do you think it’s reasonable, seniors?”
"I'm old, sometimes I always look forward and backward without making a decision. It seems like it is indeed time to let the young people go as my husband said."
After Luo Changshan laughed at himself a few times, he stopped talking to Zhang Yan. He was also worried about what happened in Xiyuan County, and it was not that he didn't understand the reason. Now that Zhang Yan also suggested a fight, he felt a lot of psychological comfort.
After all, the situation in Xiyuan County and Langyuan City are different. There is a scene in Zhang Yan Town in Langyuan City, and no one in Xiyuan County can suppress the monsters they face.
On the way back, Wang Nian asked Zhang Yan: "Teacher, I just looked at Grandpa Luo as if he was scared. Why? Doesn't the book say that brave men are fearless? Isn't Grandpa Luo a brave man?"
Smart children always think unexpectedly. Wang Nian can be called the best among the three children in terms of observing words and emotions. He was trained when he was naughty and beaten. At this time, he noticed Luo Changshan's emotions. At the same time, he also
I'm curious as to why an old scholar with a lot of knowledge would be afraid of things.
Isn’t it true that the higher the knowledge, the more fearless one is?
Zhang Yan also glanced at Wang Nian in surprise and said with a smile: "A brave man can indeed be fearless. But he is hindered by the constraints around him and often cannot help himself.
Just like Senior Luo, he is a scholar of heaven and man, and he naturally understands things and is fearless. However, Senior Luo is not alone. His lineage of miscellaneous knowledge is the tie of Senior Luo. When people have ties, there is no such thing as "nothing".
"Fear", that's why you can detect from Senior Luo that he is afraid."
Wang Nian was thoughtful.
Yang Rui then asked: "Teacher, if you want to be truly fearless, do you need to cut off all ties?"
"Cut off all the ties?" Zhang Yan did not expect that these words would come out of the mouth of a child of several years old. He was stunned for a moment before replying: "There are countless ties in life, not to mention the growth of human heart and flesh.
Is it possible to just break it off?
However, Taoist sects also have methods to kill emotions, but I don’t recommend this method as a teacher.”
"Teacher, why is this?" Yang Rui asked curiously.
"My teacher has said that there are countless ties in life, just like the roots of a tree. If you have to cut them all off, you will suffer a lot of pain. There are so many great roads, and among them, why should we take this ruthless road?"
"Oh, the student knows." Yang Rui responded obediently.
But Zhang Yan didn't see the look of sincere listening in Yang Rui's eyes like before. Suddenly, he thought to himself that Yang Rui is not really interested in the method of killing love?!
You shouldn't be so indifferent to time and emotions at such a young age...right?
Thinking of Yang Rui as a prince and the environment in which the royal family grew up, Zhang Yan was not sure. The royal family has always been cold and cold, and they didn't know what they were doing when they were young. If they really planted the seeds, it would be wrong to go on the road of killing love in the future.
no way.
But before Zhang Yan could speak again, a girlish voice sounded behind him.
"Actually, it's not that troublesome. You just need to make yourself stronger, stronger than anyone else. Then you don't have to worry about being tied down, right? Then you won't be afraid."
Zhang Yan turned around and saw Liu Rui's red face and serious expression.
Seeing Zhang Yan pause and look at him, Liu Rui stuck out his tongue and said timidly: "Brother Shitou said that as long as you are the best at fighting, others can't bully you, and you can be fearless of anyone. I feel like what the teacher just said
This is the principle of "fearlessness".
Teacher, am I right?"
Zhang Yan opened his mouth, and finally said nothing but nodded towards Liu Rui. Indeed, when a person is strong enough, he can no longer worry about everything. I am the biggest in the world. No matter how many ties there are, there will be no worries.
Who dares to touch them? If they dare to touch, they will just crush them with one foot. If they can really do this, maybe they can really be called "fearless", right?
And I have to say that compared to Zhan Qingwen, who seemed to be interested in Yang Rui, Liu Rui's thoughts were more in line with Zhang Yan's thoughts.
