"He left, why aren't you leaving?”
Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen and said rudely.
This place was filled with ghosts and monsters. The person in front of him was just a weak scholar. If he stayed, he would only lose his life.
"Why should I leave? I'm prepared to stay here today.”
Yan Chixia listened and advised him," There are ghosts here. No matter how much love you have, you can't guarantee your own life."”
"Gui Mei?"
Ning Caichen seemed to be disdainful." We scholars cultivate a righteous spirit. Why would we be afraid of ghosts?"”
Although he was a little afraid, as a scholar, he definitely could not show it.
At this point, in order to prove that he was not afraid, he even said in a clear voice,"I am good at nurturing my Noble Qi. As Qi, it is extremely strong. If it is cultivated directly and harmlessly, it will be stuck between heaven and earth.
It is the spirit that matches righteousness and Tao. If it is not, it is hunger.
This is the result of the collection of righteousness, not the inheritance of righteousness. If you don't feel satisfied with your behavior, you will be hungry.
Therefore, I said that Gaozi did not know the meaning of righteousness, because he was an outsider.
There must be something to do, but do not correct it; Do not forget it in your heart, do not encourage it.”
This was the content of Gongsun Chou's article in Mencius, and it was also the origin of the Noble Spirit.
Later Confucian scholars often used this saying, echoing Confucius's saying of " respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them."
In short, the scholarly gentlemen had a righteous spirit in their hearts and were ashamed to talk about ghosts and gods.
Yan Chixia saw that Ning Caichen seemed to be very upright. He thought about what Ning Caichen had agreed to with the tree demon and felt that it was not a big deal.
Although the tree demon allowed the evil spirits under it to absorb the blood essence of living people, it still followed the rules.
She would only attack the blood essence of a greedy and lecherous person.
If Ning Caichen was really as he said, a gentleman who cultivated a righteous spirit, then there was naturally nothing to worry about.
"Where did you come from? Why didn't you say anything?”
Suddenly, Yan Chixia looked to the other side and asked in a deep voice.
Li Hao didn't hide his tracks, so Yan Chixia naturally knew about it.
"What is there to say?"
Li Hao stood out and laughed." You guys can fight for the number one position in the world. What does it have to do with me?"”
He walked out and looked at the bearded swordsman in front of him with a leisurely smile.
If his original body was still here, perhaps with such strength, he would fight for the title of the number one sword in the world.
However, Li Hao had already killed so many demons, obtained the Mountain Splitting Sword passed down by King Yu Yu, and became a Divine Lord conferred by the Heavenly Court.
Even though he did not take the title of Divine Lord to heart, his strength had already obtained the recognition of many cultivators in the world.
Why fight for such a mere reputation?
Perhaps Yan Chixia would be involved in what he was about to do. By then, he would naturally know what the way of the sword was.
Li Hao ignored Yan Chixia and went straight into Lanruo Temple.
Li Hao didn't care about the love and hate between them.
He only cared about the ending and the Witch of the Black Mountain.
Yan Chixia was stunned when he saw that Li Hao only greeted him and even mocked him and Xia Hou before entering.
All along, he had always regarded himself as an expert in the martial world.
Unexpectedly, there would be a day when he was ridiculed.
Yan Chixia was also a magnanimous person. Of course, he wouldn't care about such things.
Seeing that Li Hao had already entered Lanruo Temple, he shook his head gently and found a room to rest.
Behind them, Ning Caichen looked confused as he watched the two swordsmen leave.
No one paid attention to him. He naturally chose a place to rest.
Coincidentally, the room he chose was right next to Li Hao's.
······
Li Hao was meditating in his room, thinking about the various changes in the way of the sword.
All of a sudden, he heard a strange movement coming from next door.
There was a low voice on the north side of the house, as if there was a family.
Li Hao's spiritual will moved and noticed the change there.
He even noticed that the scholar Ning Caichen had gotten up in the middle of the night and was lying under the stone window on the north wall, secretly checking the situation in the house.
However, in order to prevent these female ghosts from discovering him, his spiritual will was fleeting and did not get too close. He could roughly see that there were a few people.
There was a small courtyard outside the short wall. There was a woman in her forties and an old mother. They were dressed in dark red clothes and had silver comb-shaped jewelry on their heads. They were hunched over and looked old. The two of them were talking under the moonlight.
"Why hasn't Xiaoqian come for so long?" the woman asked.”
The old mother said,"It's almost here!”
"Do you have any complaints about Granny?" the woman asked.”
"I haven't heard of it, but it looks a little uncomfortable," said the old mother.”
Suddenly, the old woman's voice turned into a man's,""It shouldn't be a problem for Little Qing to find the swordsman outside.”
"Don't worry, grandma. Of course there's no problem.”
At this moment, a delicate and pretty girl walked in and said with a smile,"That swordsman looks like a human swordsman, but he's also a lecherous person.”
"I was just bathing in the spring water in the east when he came to me.”
"According to what Granny said, the path of greed and lust is to take their essence and cultivate your ancient tree.”
When the woman in her forties heard the young girl's words, she quickly smiled and praised,"Little Qing is still the best. She's from my generation. Little Qian, that girl, isn't easy to get along with.”
Before he could finish speaking, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman came over. She was extremely beautiful and was even more beautiful than the delicate and pretty young girl, Xiao Qing.
After she entered, she glanced at the woman in her forties and stood at the side without saying a word.
The old mother, who was also the grandma in these people's mouths, smiled and said,"Don't talk about people behind their backs. As we were talking, the little goblin came quietly. Fortunately, he didn't mention your shortcomings.”
Then he said,"Little Lady is really as beautiful as the person in the painting. If I were a man, my soul would also be seduced by you."”
"If Granny doesn't praise me, who else will?" The beautiful woman said lightly.”
Hearing her words, the woman in her thirties and forties and the young girl from before, Xiao Qing, could not help but frown.
The meaning of these words was obviously to say that they were in the wrong.
