Legacy of the old dynasty

Although the fire in Jiufoyuan was determined to be man-made, the government has never caught the arsonist, and it seems to be nothing.This in itself is very abnormal, Zhang Qiling was suspicious of the government and got other news, so he had to question Wu Erbai.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he mentioned it, Wu Erbai burst into laughter: "Since you know, why bother to ask me?"

After Zhang Qiling learned that the government had hired people to set the fire, he was not sure, but now that Wu Erbai said it himself, he couldn't help but not believe it.

"Now that my Ming law is so strict, why should one of the parents put themselves in danger?"

Wu Erbai turned his head to look out of the window, and there was heavy snow falling like goose feathers.If the snow had fallen half a month earlier, the Nine Buddha Court might not have been completely burned into scorched earth, and he would not be sitting here now.However, it was precisely because Wu Xie came to look for him that he didn't stay in the room that night, thus avoiding disaster, so he can sit here now.

Who can tell the cause and effect in this world.

It has been almost five years since he left home and settled in Mount Jiudu.When the Nine Buddha Temple was just being built, the local Daotai wanted to expel him, but they didn't do it because they were concerned about his background.Nine Buddha Temple was built as a private Buddhist hall at the beginning, relying on donations from ten directions, and he himself donated all his wealth.In fact, he knew in his heart that the local officials could not tolerate him, not because of this Buddhist temple that had not been approved by the court, but because of himself.

In the eyes of local officials, he may be a "heretic".He shaves his head but is not precepted, and he enters Buddhism but remains in the world of mortals. He does not believe in immortality, but only believes in Wang Yangming.He opened a class on Jiufo Mountain to teach, and unexpectedly many followers came. His theory is self-contained, with the idealism of Wang Xue, and the dogma of Confucianism. The incident at the widow's family was ordinary, and he thought in his heart that it was just a state of no good and no evil.He has no evil thoughts, so he will not see evil or hear evil.

This is Wu Erbai's integrity and innocence, but few people in this world can understand it.

Just that afternoon, Wu Erbai held the teacup and looked at the heavy snow outside the window in a daze.After a long time, he said to Zhang Qiling: "Although their actions are despicable, they are just defending morality."

Studying seeks a high rank, and being an official seeks nobility.Those Taoists are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact they have duplicity, and their words and deeds are inconsistent.It is not as good as ordinary people in the market to live a real life by deceiving the world by virtue of Taoism.

He didn't want Wu Xie to be an official at the beginning, and he also had such thoughts.He hoped that the Wu family could produce a clean person, and hoped that Wu Xie could really live like his name, innocent and innocent.

Wu Erbai looked at the picture scroll unfolded before the case, and now "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" has been imitated by one-third, and the romantic life of the market hundreds of years ago can be seen before his eyes.But today's Kaifeng Mansion is no longer what it used to be, and the legacy of the old dynasty is gone.The geese in front of Wang Xietang in the past have now flown into the homes of ordinary people.He thought of the dynasties that prospered and then were annihilated, those princes, generals, talented scholars and beautiful women, and finally became legends among the people.What is truly immortal.

That day, he thought a lot. The smallness and vastness of the world, the shortness and longness of life, are like mustard seeds hidden by mustard seeds and mustard seeds Nasumi, which have an endless dialectical relationship.He thought of what he had been pursuing in recent years, just like Wang Xue's advocacy of learning from things, he wanted to try to figure out the truth of the world.

However, the answer to everything is that there is no answer.But he realized one thing so clearly.

My heart is my way.

How to spend this life depends on your own choice.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Qiling who was sitting opposite.He has seen it all these years, and the bond between these two people has become deeper and deeper, even he has to sigh.

It's time to do something for him.

Wu Erbai smiled inwardly, and closed his eyes again.
