Fantasy: Starting out as a gigolo, born a Confucian sage

Shen Wuming was tired of dealing with these people, but at the same time, he also had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

After solving these problems, the Mohist magic power in his body became stronger.

[You exchanged arithmetic and alchemy with Mohist monks, and gained a lot. The "Mo Sutra" broke through the fifth level]

What happened?

From the perspective of energy conservation, at least some energy must be taken in to exchange for the growth of cultivation.

But at this time... It was as if he had realized the truth and increased his cultivation out of thin air.

After Pei Mao came in person, the people around Shen Wuming gradually dispersed.

"Master Pei!"

Shen Wuming bowed slightly. This is a second-grade giant, a big man second only to the prime minister.

Even the six ministers are only at the same level as the left chancellor.

"Chat in the backyard?" Pei Mao took the initiative to invite, and Shen Wuming was naturally happy.

If he didn't leave, he would be exhausted to death by these guys in front of him. One by one, they were simply crazy people!

While walking to the back, Shen Wuming also opened his system panel.

[Host: Shen Wuming]

[Skills: Book of Songs (lv5), Mohist Scripture (lv5), Explanation of Characters (lv3), Taoist Doctrine (lv1), Qin Yueren Pulse Diagnosis (lv2), Stepping on the Sea to Calm Dragons (lv1)]

Shen Wuming felt very strange.

He had practiced the Book of Songs with all his heart and soul, but he only broke through the fifth level two days ago and became a fifth-level cultivator.

But what is the basis for this Mohist Scripture?

He had never cared about the Mohist practice, but now the speed of practice is not slow at all.

It even made him a little shaken.

If he really majored in Mohist Scripture, would the speed be faster? Maybe he would be in the sixth level.

But after thinking for a while, he still shook his head.

He was practicing fast now, just talking about the achievements of future scientists for thousands of years.

But later, when he needed to walk his own path, it would be a different matter.

There are indeed many things to copy in the scientific community, but not in the literary community? Li Bai and Du Fu's poems have been passed down by word of mouth and are no longer new.

The brilliant poems of the Tang and Song dynasties alone are estimated to have pushed his cultivation to the seventh or eighth realm!

"My friend shook his head. Is there something wrong with the arrangement of my Pei family?"

Pei Mao led Shen Wuming and Cao Zhuyu through the corridor and came to the backyard. Seeing Shen Wuming shaking his head, he couldn't help but asked with a smile.

"I dare not." Shen Wuming came back to his senses and laughed dumbly.

"It is already a pleasant surprise to be able to see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in this northern country!"

"And the utensils are elegant but not extravagant, and the scenery is full of wind and wheat!"

"This scene should only be in heaven, how many times can it be seen in the world?"

Hearing this, Pei Mao was not happy because of Shen Wuming's praise, but his face gradually became serious.

Cao Zhuyu was a little confused. Shen Wuming's words did not lose his dignity. Why was Pei Mao still a little unhappy?

Shen Wuming originally had a faint expression. He glanced at Pei Mao and was a little confused.

Didn't he just praise his garden? Why did he suddenly become so serious?

Choosing a face for himself? Showing off his power?

Shen Wuming was a little puzzled, but seeing that he didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to start a conversation.

Looking at the Pei family's backyard, the twilight finally fell on the small bridge and flowing water next to it.

There was a row of bags with holes drilled on the edge of the fence, which would release feed from time to time, attracting goldfish in the pond to chase after food.

When visitors stood by the pond, it was like thousands of goldfish worshiping, which was indeed quite elegant.

"This scene should only be seen in heaven, and it is rare to see it in the world? Good, this sentence is well said."

Pei Mao's face changed for a long time, and finally nodded deeply, "I haven't seen a young man with such a sharp vision for a long time."

"Many people say that my Pei family is prosperous, like flowers and brocade, and oil is boiling in a raging fire. Only you see it clearly."

"Ah..."

Shen Wuming was puzzled at first, and then he reacted.

The last poem he just said was adapted from Du Fu's "Gift to Hua Qing".

Originally, it was Du Fu's euphemistic admonition after he saw Hua Qing taking credit for himself and usurping the use of the emperor's music.

Now that Shen Wuming said it, it was a bit like accusing the Pei family of being too ostentatious.

I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Shen Wuming wanted to cry but had no tears, "I don't understand what Lord Pei said, I just think this courtyard is indeed elegant."

"Haha... OK, I don't understand... I don't understand."

Pei Mao laughed a few times, looking like he saw through it but didn't say it, which made Shen Wuming even more speechless.

Without caring about Cao Zhuyu being there, Pei Mao asked, "Mr. Shen!"

"If I ask you to use one word to describe my Pei family, what word do you think is appropriate!"

Shen Wuming lowered his eyebrows, "Mr. Pei, I think I have said enough!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will probably be beaten to death by my father-in-law when I go back."

"No problem!" Pei Mao laughed, "If he knew you were hiding something from me, he would probably beat you too."

Shen Wuming smiled bitterly, then said carefully, "The Qian Gua of the Book of Changes says: Or leap in the abyss, no blame."

Or leap in the abyss is the fourth line of the Qian Gua of the Book of Changes.

The entire Qian Gua describes the state of the dragon in different situations.

The first three lines all talk about how the dragon develops, as long as you are low-key, cautious, and do things seriously.

But the fourth line, or leap in the abyss.

It means that the dragon stands in front of the dragon gate, either leaping into a dragon or falling into the abyss.

Pei Mao looked at Shen Wuming deeply, his expression restrained, without the look he had used to look at the younger generation before.

"Yes, the current Zhongshan Pei family has reached the end of the road, either advance or retreat!"

The Zhongshan Pei family has indeed been extremely prosperous over the years.

Not only does he have the Shangshu Zuocheng, who is a second-rank official, but also the late emperor's confidant and beloved general Wu'an Hou Pei Yanwu.

Although Pei Yanwu and Chu Pingshan are both marquises, their power is different.

Wu'an Hou means "to secure the country with military force", and is ranked as a county marquis.

Moreover, Pei Yanwu did not resign and live in seclusion, but was a second-rank left Longwu general.

The Longwu Army is one of the six armies of the emperor, divided into two parts, the left and the right, and Pei Yanwu is in charge of the left army.

Looking at the entire Northern Han military, he is only second to the six pillar generals.

In addition, Pei Kuan, the governor of Qinzhou, has been in charge of Guanzhong for decades and has controlled nearly 40% of the military farms in the Northern Han.

This shows that the Zhongshan Pei family is so powerful that it has already attracted the covetousness of many people.

Pei Mao's face was bitter. Even the young man in front of him knew that the Pei family was in a precarious situation, but the Pei family itself did not know.

The disciples in the family were either dandy, mediocre, or domineering, but none of them were talented.

Thinking of this, Pei Mao couldn't help but look up at the young man in front of him. This was a rough jade.

If they were not married, he, Pei Mao, would definitely reach out and pull him into the Pei family.

"Then Mr. Shen, if you were in my position, what would you do? How to enter and how to retreat?"

Pei Mao continued to ask questions that would cost him his life, and Shen Wuming's face completely darkened.

No, sir!

It's none of my business whether your Pei family lives or dies. Why are you asking me? My last name is not Pei!
