"Mr. Zhuge? Daoist, do you know him?" Ning Caichen was taken aback when he heard Dongfang Yu's words. You must know that he didn't know the old man's name after staying in this prison for so long, but Dongfang Yu knew him
"He is Zhuge Wolong!?" Not to mention Ning Caichen, even Yan Chixia looked at the bad old man in the prison in surprise when he heard Dongfang Yu's words.
If Dongfang Yu hadn't said that she came to Ning Caichen's hometown to seek out Zhuge Wolong, Yan Chixia would never have believed that the old man in front of her, who was ugly and even sloppy, was the legendary Zhuge Wolong.
"Huh? Young man? How do you know me? How do you know I'm here?" Zhuge Wolong looked at Dongfang Yu in surprise. He hid himself in this cell and wrote notes. It stands to reason that no one should know him The existence of it is right.
"Young man?" I have to say that in the past few years, no one has called Dongfang Yu that way. At Zhuge Wolong's age, it is not surprising that he calls himself a young man, but Dongfang Yu heard it in his ears. It was very pleasing to the ear, as if I was much younger.
"Cellmaster? Can I have a few words with this old gentleman alone?" Dongfang Yu turned around and asked the prison boss without rushing to answer Zhuge Wolong's words.
The so-called lack of manpower, besides, are you afraid that people will escape in this prison? The prison chief naturally agreed to Dongfang Yu's request, nodded at Ning Caichen and said, "Your brother also needs to freshen up, so I'll take him there."
"Then I'm sorry to bother you," Dongfang Yu nodded with a smile, and the cell boss took Ning Caichen out immediately.
Although Yan Chixia wanted to stay, he also knew that Dongfangyu was trying to persuade Zhuge Wolong to leave the mountain, and staying here by herself would not be of much help, so Yan Chixia hesitated and found The two wanted to go out to breathe, and left together because they didn't like the atmosphere in the prison.
"Okay, there's no one here now, young man, just tell me what you have to say." After everyone left, Zhuge Wolong invited Dongfang Yu into the cell. Of course, there was no stool for Dongfang Yu to sit on. That's it.
"Okay, I won't beat around the bush, I'll just get straight to the point." After entering the cell, Dongfang Yu opened his mouth and said directly: "I am determined to do a great cause, to punish the demons in the court, to destroy the treacherous officials and chaos The party is in charge of the government, and it will restore the world to all people. I am here today because I want to ask Mr. Zhuge to come out and help."
"Let me come out to help? Hahaha..." Dongfang Yu's words made Zhuge Wolong feel as if he had heard the funniest thing, and said: "The so-called useless person is a scholar. I, a useless person, can How can I help you? Even if I want to write two books in peace, I have to work hard. When I write travel notes, they say that I leaked the secrets of the court and wrote history. Not to mention that I instigated rebellion, wrote ghost stories, and said that I was leading people to superstition."
Speaking of this, Zhuge Wolong smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "In the end, even if it is to rewrite the biography of a celebrity, in the end, this celebrity lost power and was declared a rebellious party. I was also said to be an accomplice and sentenced to death." A life sentence, what can you say, even a useless person like me who can’t write a book properly, can help you?”.
"Yes, from this point of view, you are indeed a useless person, but have you ever thought about it? Why is this so? Is it because I don't have enough knowledge?" Dongfang Yu, following Zhuge Wolong's words, nodded and asked.
"...", Dongfang Yu's words made Zhuge Wolong speechless for a while, unable to answer. Although he laughed at himself as a useless person, a literati has been proud since ancient times, and he never felt in his heart that his knowledge would be low.
Seeing that Zhuge Wolong couldn't answer for a while, Dongfang Yu smiled and didn't give him time to think, and then said: "No, it's not because you don't have enough knowledge. The vast land of China, who doesn't know you, Zhuge Wolong, a master of knowledge and knowledge? name? If your knowledge is low, no one in the world will be more knowledgeable. The reason why you can’t even write a book with peace of mind can only be peaceful in this prison. wrong".
It has to be said that Dongfang Yu's words were very pleasing to Zhuge Wolong's ears, but just based on these words alone, he wanted Zhuge Wolong to come out of the mountain? It is impossible,
Shaking his head, Zhuge Wolong still refused to get out of the prison and help Dongfang Yu. In Zhuge Wolong's view, the world is like this, and not everyone can turn things around.
For Zhuge Wolong's refusal, Dongfangyu didn't feel strange. It would be unbelievable if he agreed to himself so easily. Dongfangyu pondered for a moment, and said to Zhuge Wolong: "Old Mr. Zhuge, come out to help me. It’s not just for me, Dongfang Yu.”
"I know, it's for the common people of the world." However, before Dongfang Yu finished speaking, Zhuge Wolong rushed ahead of him and said the second half of his words. There is no one who is good at learning flickering.
"No, I'm not talking about the common people in the world, but the scholars in the world." However, Dongfang Yu shook her head and replied: "Even if you don't consider it for the sake of the common people in the world, you should also consider it for the sake of the scholars in the world." Come out for the sake of it?"
"Scholars in the world? Does this have any direct relationship with the scholars in the world?" Zhuge Wolong asked a little strangely.
"How come it doesn't matter?" Dongfang Yu looked at Zhuge Wolong seriously, and said, "Your knowledge can be said to be second to none in the world, but, with your reputation, you don't even dare to write a book." Only by hiding in this prison can we find peace, and I ask, is there anyone in the world who can really write a book with peace of mind?".
After a slight pause, seeing Zhuge Wolong's face change slightly, Dongfang Yu continued: "Even writing a book is so difficult, and there are naturally fewer and fewer people who do this kind of learning. Let's just ask, in a few decades, this world will be so difficult." , Maybe even scholars have to be cut off, you say, does this have anything to do with scholars? If this troubled world does not change, no one will be able to study with peace of mind."
boom!
Dongfang Yu's words, to Zhuge Wolong's ears, were really no less than a thunderbolt. This reasoning is correct.
If the troubled times like this don’t end, I won’t be able to study with peace of mind, and so will others. Let me ask, if there are no book writers, will there still be people who read books in the future
In this troubled world, those who study are even more worthless. Over time, the number of scholars will be cut off, which is not alarmist at all.
With Zhuge Wolong's wisdom, he naturally knows this truth, but he has never thought about it. Today, with Dongfang Yu's suggestion, Zhuge Wolong naturally thought of this, thinking that there may be no way out for scholars in the future , Zhuge Wolong's heart was full of urgency.
Seeing Zhuge Wolong's appearance, Dongfang Yu nodded secretly. It seems that he still has hope. Sure enough, for a scholar like Zhuge Wolong who knows everything, maybe he can ignore the people of the world, but he can ignore the world. Are you a scholar? At least if there are no scholars in the world, who will the future generations read the books he left behind? Isn't it all waste paper
Well, what Dongfang Yu said hit Zhuge Wolong's sore spot, but even so, Zhuge Wolong didn't think that Dongfang Yu could really give the world a bright future. He has such great ambitions That's good, but does he have the ability? Even if you want to go out, you don't necessarily have to assist him, right
Dongfang Yu is not an idiot, Zhuge Wolong's expression, Dongfang Yu can guess his mind, thought for a while, opened the package, took out the dragon veins, and asked Zhuge Wolong: "Do you know what this is?" thing?".
"What is it?" Zhuge Wolong asked, just looking at the dragon vein in Dongfang Yu's hand, naturally he didn't recognize it.
"This is the dragon vein of the land of Shenzhou, and I can control part of its power, so I have the responsibility to do something for the common people in the world. As for my ability?" At this point, Dongfang Yu paused slightly and said: "Say To be honest, my ability is not high, but it is precisely because of this that I need the assistance of someone like you."
"Dragon veins?" Looking at the dragon veins in Dongfang Yu's hand and feeling the awe-inspiring aura emanating from them, Zhuge Wolong's face changed slightly, and immediately there was a thoughtful expression between his brows.
This is the dragon vein of the land of Shenzhou. Zhuge Wolong has no doubts. Although he is not a monk, Zhuge Wolong can see the extraordinaryness of the dragon vein at a glance. Can he get the dragon vein? Could it be, is this God's will? Want him to end this troubled world
Seeing Zhuge Wolong thinking deeply, Dongfang Yu didn't urge him, but waited patiently.
Zhuge Wolong's eyes are bright, completely different from the cloudy eyes before. Obviously, at the turning point of his life, even a hermit like Zhuge Wolong has to think carefully, so he was silent for a few minutes. Dongfang Yu said: "You asked me to assist you, but you want to overthrow the imperial court?".
"No!", Dongfang Yu said firmly, "No, you assist me, and my purpose is to lead the court, punish evil spirits, destroy treacherous officials, that's all, I never dreamed of sitting on the throne."
Yes, I can only stay in this plane for two years at most, even if I sit on the throne, what's the point? Besides, even if Dongfang Yu has this idea, it is still a question of whether he can succeed in two years.
With the dragon veins in hand, it can be said that he has mastered the world's luck, but even so, he has no intention of aspiring to the supreme throne. Is it really just for the sake of the world
Looking at Dongfang Yu's expression, Zhuge Wolong could see that Dongfang Yu's appearance did not seem to be talking. Such feelings made him feel awe in his heart, and he said, "In that case, then I promise you , I hope you can really restore the world to a bright future."
(PS: Thank you for the 10,000 book coin reward from Wang Xianlin, a book friend over there on QQ Reading. In other words, our monthly pass seems to be very weak. Even if I don’t like to ask for monthly pass in the book, this result seems too low. Is it a bit exciting? Brothers and sisters, can you throw in a few monthly tickets?)
