Chapter 284 The Scholar
"The junior entered here by mistake, and saw that there is a temple here, so I came here to visit, I am very sorry to disturb your Excellency."
Xu Wuzhou said to the scholar.
The scholar frowned: "I like to be quiet, please close the door and leave!"
Xu Wuzhou said at this time: "It's such a pleasure to have friends come from afar. Your Excellency, this is not the way to treat guests."
"You and I have never met before, how can we be friends?"
The scholar took a sip of tea and asked Xu Wuzhou.
"We are brothers all over the world, not to mention that I also like reading, which can be regarded as sharing the same interests. It is not easy to find someone with the same hobbies in this world. Your Excellency should cherish a friend like me."
Xu Wuzhou said.
"oh?
Do you like reading too?
Then you must have some talent? "
The scholar said to Xu Wuzhou.
"I don't dare to say how talented I am, so I can barely count as the second best in the world."
Xu Wuzhou replied.
One sentence made the scholar squint his eyes and look at Xu Wuzhou. This young man spoke so loudly. Who in this world would dare to say this sentence in front of himself?
Zhou Si was also stunned, never expecting Xu Wuzhou to say such words, this Taoist scholar is obviously not simple, it is inappropriate to say such words.
"Second in the world?
Who is that number one? "
The scholar asked Xu Wuzhou.
Zhou Si also looked at Xu Wuzhou, and then at the scholar, thinking that Xu Wuzhou knew this scholar, so that he could say that the scholar was the first to make him happy?
While Zhou Si was thinking about this, she heard Xu Wuzhou say: "The future!"
"future?"
The scholar looked at Xu Wuzhou suspiciously.
"Actually, my talent is unprecedented, but it is too arrogant and inflated.
So claiming to be number two in the world is to be regarded as someone who will surpass me in the future, which makes me more humble and low-key. "
Xu Wuzhou answered the scholar.
Zhou Si was stunned. She had never seen such humble words?
If such words spread, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by scholars all over the world?
The scholar also laughed loudly at this time: "Have courage, have guts, you are the only one in this world who dares to say this in front of me."
"It's not courage and guts, it's just a simple statement of the truth."
Xu Wuzhou looked at the scholar and said.
The scholar was still sitting there, and he said to Xu Wuzhou: "Reading is to cultivate one's morality, to understand the truth, to know good and evil, and to distinguish right from wrong.
All my life, I have guarded this world, reading and writing, day after day, I have forgotten all the distracting thoughts, evil thoughts, wrong thoughts, and fierce thoughts in my heart, leaving only the way of a gentleman and tranquility.
If you read a lot, your talent will grow by itself.
But it's not that there are as many talents as you say you have. "
Xu Wuzhou said: "Your Excellency doesn't recognize my talent?"
The scholar said: "There is no book you have read hidden in your temperament."
Xu Wuzhou laughed, looked at the scholar and said: "Senior thinks that there is a poetic spirit in his belly, but I feel that 'the heart is like a white cloud, and everything is at ease, and the mind is like flowing water to do anything'. Reading is just an embellishment, and I am me, and I won't let it go because of me." After reading the book, I changed my character and mind."
"How can a person who only regards reading as an embellishment compare to a real scholar."
The scholar shook his head and said, "You and I are not the same kind of people, reading is sacred."
"It's not comparable, you'll know after the comparison."
Xu Wuzhou looked at the scholar and said.
"You want to compare with me?"
The scholar looked at Xu Wuzhou.
"Your Excellency has read so many books, I think you are just reading dead books, and have never really read the essence of the books."
Xu Wuzhou said with a smile, "I want to give you some advice!"
Zhou Si was completely stunned by the side, not understanding why Xu Wuzhou did this.
From the moment he met the scholar, Xu Wuzhou was arrogant and domineering, and now he even said something to point him out.
This person in the Taoist temple is definitely not simple! advice?
Are you really not afraid that the other party will become angry and beat you to death?
The scholar also smiled, looked at Xu Wuzhou and said, "How do you want to teach me?"
"Your Excellency, feel free to come up with a topic, you can choose your poems and songs, if I can't overwhelm you with my talent, I can agree to any of your conditions.
But if you can overwhelm you with your talents, how about you also promise me one condition? "
Xu Wuzhou looked at the scholar and said.
"What conditions?"
The scholar asked Xu Wuzhou.
"It's just a drop of your blood, it's not too much."
Xu Wuzhou looked at the scholar.
Hearing this sentence, the scholar narrowed his eyes even more. He looked at Xu Wuzhou and said, "Did you come here on purpose to provoke the general just to get a drop of my blood?"
Xu Wuzhou saw that he was seen through by the other party, he laughed and said: "Since your Excellency guessed it, I will not hide it, so I will not come to you on purpose.
I heard that there is a holy beast in the Shenzang domain, so this time looking for the holy beast, I came here by mistake.
But since I see Your Excellency, I would like to ask for a drop of your blood by the way. "
"you know me?"
The scholar said.
"I don't know! But I happened to see it in a book. It said that in the Nine Palaces Sanctuary, there was a scholar whose essence and blood had miraculous effects. It was rumored that it could help people cultivate literature and Taoism. I didn't know if it was true, so I wanted to see if it was true or not. "
Xu Wuzhou said to the scholar.
The scholar looked at Xu Wuzhou: "That's all?"
Xu Wuzhou said: "Since I told you the purpose, do you think it is necessary for me to lie about the reason?
I'm not afraid to tell you, I think my talent is unparalleled in the world! But I can't make the blood contain the literary way, so I want to take a drop of your blood essence to see how I can achieve this and make my own strength go further. "
The scholar nodded and said, "I believe what you said is true, it's just that you are so proud of being unparalleled in talent, and there is no one in the world today."
"That's because I have never appeared in the world before!"
Xu Wuzhou replied.
The scholar smiled and said: "Young people are always proud, and scholars who hold the way also have the responsibility to educate the world.
Letting you recognize yourself is a merit of a scholar, so let's see your talent! "
"Then please ask your Excellency to come up with a topic, poetry and songs are welcome."
Xu Wuzhou said to the scholar.
Zhou Si looked at the confident Xu Wuzhou, she didn't know what to say.
Looking at the scholar's appearance, one can tell that this is an existence who has read thousands of volumes, and his talent must be astonishing.
Does Xu Wuzhou really have no fear if he needs such a bet?
At this moment, the scholar shook his head and said: "A year ago, someone discussed poetry and poetry with me. Today, I don't want to talk about poetry and poetry anymore. I just use couplets to see how talented you are?"
Xu Wuzhou smiled and said: "For me, there is no difference, they are all the same.
However, when it comes to couplets, I have a couplet that no one can match. Are you interested in giving it a try? "
The scholar said: "No one can be right?
Well, let's get to know each other! Just right out, I want you to do everything? "
"Students, of course promise a thousand gold!"
Xu Wuzhou answered solemnly.
"please!"
The scholar looked at Xu Wuzhou, a half-grown boy.
Xu Wuzhou smiled, and casually took out a sentence from his previous life in his mind: "Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan!"
Xu Wuzhou felt that he should be merciful at the beginning, and didn't come up with the perverted couplet of "smoke lock willow in the pond".
