Chapter 68

Qi Jingzhi didn't want to finish it, so he changed the subject and asked curiously: "Brother Liu has treated me really well, and he has the intention of cultivating me. I don't know if my younger brother is a tree, a flower or a grass in Brother Liu's heart?"

Hearing this, Liu Muzhi sized up the young man who was crawling along the pole, and suddenly sneered, "It's nothing but fertilizer ears!"

Qi Jingzhi wasn't annoyed at all, instead he had enlightenment on his face, he nodded repeatedly and said: "This fertile field is indeed very important. Brother Liu regards power as the plow, counties as the field, heart and bones as the seed, and talents as the fertilizer. It has a big heart.”

This time, the boy even praised himself.

Liu Muzhi was shocked, and looked at the young man in disbelief, then turned around and lowered his head, staring at the red residual flower in the flower garden, just lost in thought.

Qi Jingzhi is close to this young hero, and can clearly feel the changes in the other party.

I saw that Liu Muzhi's originally peaceful and pure aura suddenly had some kind of lively and high-spirited meaning, as if a gust of wind swept the water, creating waves on the calm lake.

The next moment, the residual flower withered suddenly, turned into a little red brilliance and soared up, and was immediately swallowed by Liu Mu.

Picking up Yingjuhua, nothing more than that!

Qi Jingzhi heard and saw such a miracle of cultivation, and felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Liu Muzhi came back to his senses, turned around and bowed deeply to Qi Jingzhi.

This was also the first time he saluted Qi Jingzhi.

The young man accepted it calmly without avoiding it, and then sincerely praised: "Brother Liu's realm is advanced, and my younger brother is far behind."

Liu Muzhi waved his hand: "I have entered the second realm for several years, but I have been stuck on the stage of Fanxia for a long time without making any progress. I am really ashamed to talk about the word realm. Just now Liu was awakened by Brother Qi's words, thinking back What you have done in recent years shows that you have deviated from your heart and soul."

As he said that, the young meritorious man showed determination: "Fortunately, it is not too late to make up for it! In the future, Liu will be transferred to a county to be an official and concentrate on governing local civil affairs."

Qi Jingzhi was stunned when he heard the words: "I have little knowledge in the field of cultivation, but I just said a few random words, Brother Liu, don't take it to heart."

Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Actually, my teacher advised me to go to the county to settle down for a few years, but I was conceited about my talent, and I always felt unwilling, and I couldn't let go of this face, for fear of being ridiculed by my peers."

"After all, as long as the family has some roots, the disciples have sharpened their heads and squeezed into the Demon Suppressing Courtyard. Only those who are really not suitable for cultivation will succumb to official careers and become collaterals from then on..."

The young Gongcao stared at Qi Jingzhi, with gratitude and praise intertwined in his eyes: "Because of this obsession, I have actually gone astray, and now even Brother Qi can see it. If I don't wake up and change course, won't I Stupid?"

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help being stunned and speechless, and slandered: "What do you mean even I can see it, am I being looked down upon or underestimated?"

At the end, Liu Muzhi still did not forget to comfort him: "Brother Qi, don't worry, the elders in my family are the most sensible. If they find out about this, not only will they not be angry, but they will thank you!"

Hearing the words, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but laugh. How could he, a boy in the mountains, know the idea of ​​a high-named family? The children in the family are considered low-level officials in counties and counties, and they would be ridiculed by their peers. How can a scholar who can leave be embarrassed?

"I figured it out. Although Brother Qi started in the mountains, he is a person with adventures and inheritance. Now he is traveling in the mountains and going through the rivers and lakes. I am afraid it is to increase his knowledge and sharpen his practice. If you need anything in the future, just ask me , as long as Liu is capable, there is no other way!"

have to!Before the previous misunderstanding was resolved, another one appeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Liu Muzhi, the son of a family, had already patted his chest, Qi Jingzhi was really too lazy to explain, so he quickly changed the subject: "In my opinion, there seems to be something wrong with practitioners ruling the side. How could the king and the court allow it?"

"Heh, if you ask my colleagues who don't ask about worldly affairs and focus on exorcising demons, few of them will be able to answer you. I just happen to know a little bit."

Liu Muzhi obviously paid attention to this matter a long time ago, and said with a clear smile: "What's wrong with what you say, because you think that cultivators, regardless of their family background, ability, and even life expectancy, are beyond ordinary people, unfair to ordinary officials, and even a threat to the royal power? "

Qi Jingzhi saw the frankness of what the other party said, so he no longer kept secrets, nodded and admitted: "In my opinion, the system and rules of the imperial court can restrict ordinary officials and ordinary people, and I am afraid that it will be greatly discounted for monks."

"That's all. If a monk lives long and stays in one position for many years, no matter whether his superiors, colleagues, subordinates, or even the people under his rule are from the generation of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, where will the kingship be placed? ?Once there is chaos, it will be the common people who will suffer!"

Liu Muzhi laughed out loud when he heard this: "The empress of the East Palace bakes big pancakes, and the empress of the West Palace peels green onions! You, you, have already half-stepped on the road of cultivation, why do you still have the same idea as the villagers in the mountains? ?”

"The high-ranking officials and generous salaries that ordinary people flock to are real hard work in the eyes of monks. How can it compare with the joy of cultivation? Only fools will waste their years in secular positions!"

"Even if someone like me whose path is compatible with local government affairs, he will only dabble in his official career. At a certain stage, he must resign from office and escape from the world. Otherwise, he will spend years in the world of mortals and spend his mind and energy all day long, which will only be harmful to his path. , at that time, the realm will turn back and the lifespan will decrease sharply, it is really not worth the loss."

"Although there are quite a few disciples from various families who are inferior in aptitude and failed in cultivation, and turn to pursue worldly power and worldly pleasures, how much better are such people than ordinary people? The king ordered them to move their nests. Zhishi Zhishi, how can there be any threat?"

"As for the fairness you mentioned, it is indeed unfair, but have you ever thought about why ordinary people in Daqi still have a chance to make progress when the royal family and the high-named family are so dominant?"

Qi Jingzhi listened very seriously, and couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. He knew about the practice for only a few days, and he really didn't think about it deeply.

"That's right, since there are practitioners in this world, born aliens with awakened bloodlines, and their practice is mostly controlled by the royal family and high-name families. There are quite a few children from these aristocratic families, and not all of them have the qualifications for practice. It's too late for my own people, why give ordinary people a chance? If it becomes that situation, why bother with fairness or unfairness..."

Seeing the young man thinking, Liu Muzhi said seriously: "Always leave a way for the bottom to rise up. This is the greatest and most fundamental fairness. To maintain this kind of fairness is the will of the Holy King, the ancestral system of the Daqi, and the Daqi ancestral system." The consensus of the majority of high-named sects!"

"Actually, there are no real ordinary people in this world, only declining families! Even the descendants of Sheng Jiang and the blood of the royal family have been reproduced from generation to generation. Is Jiang's surname Qi?"

Qi Jingzhi nodded immediately, he had expressed similar thoughts to the old city god, but it happened to coincide with Liu Muzhi.

Seeing him nodding, Liu Muzhi laughed: "The family has declined and the bloodline still exists, so there is natural strength. It is hard to guarantee that a few generations will pass, and suddenly a few peerless talents will emerge. What should we do then? Because it is If you are from a poor family and are grassroots, you will suppress and coerce in every possible way? Or just pretend not to see it and let these heroes who have been oppressed by the aristocratic family make waves in the arena?"

"Hey, if you don't give a chance, won't people grab it? This has been learned through blood and tears. In this case, it is better to set a rule that everyone agrees with. Even if some people don't want to abide by it, the royal family and most aristocratic families will not follow it." will force them to comply."

"Besides, there is actually a bigger reason..."

After finishing speaking, Liu Muzhi suddenly pointed to his feet and smiled meaningfully.
