I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 409 Four Sentences of Hengqu
"."

It seemed that the group had been cast with a body-holding spell. When Wei Changtian asked "What does this question mean?", the rest of the people were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses.

The abruptness of this turning point is no less than when you confess to a girl. After the other party sincerely praised how good you are for a long time, they suddenly said "we are not suitable" at the end.

Originally, everyone was expecting that Wei Changtian would be able to answer this ancient problem with ease like he wrote nine consecutive poems at the Spring Dragon Poetry Conference, and at least he could come up with some different opinions.

It turned out that I didn't even understand the question, but it was okay? ? ?

What is "what the hell do you mean?"

Obviously, Shen Ran has said enough to understand!
Could it be that Wei Changtian only knows how to compose poetry?Or.
Even the previous poems were not written by him? !

But who else could it be?
Everyone didn't know that their guess was the truth, and Gui Pei'an also showed a hint of disappointment that could not be concealed at this time.

He was not disappointed that Wei Changtian could not answer the questions that had troubled him all his life, but that Wei Changtian was really so ignorant.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is poetry and calligraphy in the belly.

At least for a second-grade Confucian, it is indeed possible to roughly judge a person's character and talent just by "eye view".

Therefore, Gui Pei'an, who knows countless people, already felt this disappointment from the first moment he saw Wei Changtian.

Yes, Wei Changtian is indeed handsome in appearance, and has a good temperament, with a hint of rebelliousness and self-confidence vaguely mixed with his calmness.

Such a perception is actually regarded as the best among the younger generation of the same age.

But Gui Pei'an still felt that it was not enough.

At least it is not enough to make a poem of the level of "Moonlight Night on the Spring River".

However, this poem was indeed recited from Wei Changtian's mouth, so Gui Pei'an temporarily suppressed the doubt in his heart, thinking that he had read it wrong.

However, today's facts show that he really didn't miss it.

"."

Sighing lightly, Gui Pei'an no longer went to see Wei Changtian, but shook his head slightly and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Although Shen Ran was a little surprised at this time, his reaction was not so obvious. After a moment of stunned, he opened his mouth to answer Wei Changtian's question.

"Young Master Wei."

"To put it simply, this question is. Why do people live? What exactly are they pursuing?"

Why do people live?

Didn't you say that this is over?What are you doing with those useless things?
Hearing the answer, Wei Changtian rolled his eyes, and at the same time, he thought about how to answer almost instantly.

He didn't care what others thought now, and immediately turned to look at Ning Yuke.

"Your Majesty, why do you think you are alive?"

"This"

Ning Yuke never expected that Wei Changtian would turn around and throw the question to herself, so she couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

However, she reacted quickly, and after a little thought, she replied seriously:

"As the king of a country, the palace seeks for the people under the rule to live and work in peace and contentment, and to have enough food and clothing."

"understood."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian smiled again and looked at Gui Pei'an who was drinking tea.

"Return to Shoufu, what are you doing for?"

"."

Hearing Wei Changtian ask himself again, Gui Pei'an really wanted to say, "If I understand, why would I ask you?"

However, Daru's self-cultivation did not allow him to do so, so after putting down the teacup, he was still ready to give the answer truthfully.

"The law of heaven is the desire of man."

"The sky hangs like an image, sees good and bad, and the sage follows it; the sky and the earth change, and the sage follows it."

"Using the aspirations of the world to understand the world, to determine the world's karma, and to resolve the world's doubts."

"That, to the first assistant."

Gui Pei'an was talking vigorously, but a very inappropriate voice suddenly interrupted: "Can you speak more simply?"

"."

Seeing Wei Changtian's confused look, Gui Pei'an was both angry and funny, and in the end he didn't bother to play the piano to Niu, so he shook his head and answered casually——

"This old man just wants to comprehend and understand what this principle of heaven is."

"understood."

Nodding again, Wei Changtian shifted his gaze to the thoughtful Shen Ran.

"Mr. Shen, what about you?"

"I"

Shen Ran straightened his expression, and immediately said seriously the "famous saying" that once raised the entire Kuixing Academy an inch.

"For the sake of the sages and the quintessential learning, even though there are tens of thousands of people, I will go."

"Well, the atmosphere."

Wei Changtian praised him very sincerely.

A few days ago, he had heard about what happened to Dali, and he also knew that Shen Ran had said this sentence in the battle for the Holy Son in the Kuixing Academy.

Although the phrase "continuing learning for the sake of the past" partly overlaps with the "ultimate answer" he is about to give, but it is different from his own "Wen Chaogong" act, Shen Ran's sentiments come from the heart.

But now that this is the case, let's just say all the "four sentences of Hengqu" that almost everyone knew in the previous life.

"Cough, Your Majesty, Guishoufu, Mr. Shen."

His expression became slightly serious, and Wei Changtian, who had made up his mind, slowly stood up.

He took a few steps forward, and stood still in the center of the hall under the gaze of everyone.

"You each gave your own answers just now, and a brief summary is actually three sentences."

"Guishoufu said that he only wanted to comprehend the principles of heaven all his life. This is to set his heart for heaven and earth."

"Your Majesty only wants the people under his rule to live and work in peace and contentment. This is for the livelihood of the people."

"Mr. Shen said it more clearly, it is to inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints."

"So, why do people have to live for the same thing, but can't ask for something separately?"

"In my opinion, these three sentences are actually the answer to that question."

"."

All three sentences are the answer.

At first glance, Wei Changtian didn't seem to have said what he said, at most he just refined the answers of the three of them just now.

But it was this "refinement" and the final "each has his own wish" that made everyone stunned.

Especially Gui Pei'an and Shen Ran fell into deep thought for a long time at this time.

There were only a few candle shadows, and the hall suddenly became completely silent.

Until Gui Pei'an suddenly raised his head, looked at Wei Changtian with extremely complicated eyes, and asked softly:

"Young Master Wei, is there a fourth sentence?"

"Yes."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian looked directly at Gui Pei'an, who seemed a little excited, and then there were six words of moderate size resounding clearly in the hall.

"For the sake of all generations, open peace."

"."

Establish a heart for the world, and a life for the people.

In order to inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to bring peace to all generations.

When these four proverbs that have been used by various time-traveling web articles in the previous life became complete and kept reverberating in everyone's minds, everyone stood up unconsciously, opened their mouths wide but couldn't say a word of exclamation words.

Gui Pei'an's face suddenly turned red, and his spotless white robe shook slightly due to the trembling of his body.

He felt as if a bolt of lightning flashed across his mind, splitting the fog of chaos in just a split second.

For the heaven and the earth, for the living people, for the saints, and for all generations.

The emotions brought about by this kind of boldness and ambition that can span thousands of years are too majestic, and even make everyone suddenly have a feeling of insignificance that can only be experienced when watching the ocean tide.

This is a kind of blood-boiling, but indescribable shock.

Shock from another ancient civilization with a history of [-] years.
