Chapter 147
"So I became a teacher for no apparent reason?"
Lu Ming and Chu Xuanjing sat on the bench, looking at the villagers busy in the yard.
Since the villagers knew that Lu Ming agreed to be a teacher, they even took over the job of boiling water.
For lunch, everyone brought various kinds of rice, flour, and bacon from their homes.
"Is this the only wish they have? They hope their children can leave this place. Chu Xuanjing thought about it for a whole day but couldn't figure out why.
Lu Ming could understand the mentality of these villagers.
"For them, they have lived in this mountain village all their lives, and they can clearly see the end of their days. But it is different for children. They have more time, more opportunities, and are more likely to leave this mountain village."
"Hope?"
Chu Xuanjing seemed to understand a little bit.
Lu Ming took a bite of rice and nodded slightly.
"I just hope that at least these villagers are not ignorant and know that they will not achieve anything if they suffer here all their lives. Letting their children leave this mountain village is the greatest wish of parents and the only thing they can do."
"As expected, people who come out of the academy are different." Chu Xuanjing gathered the hair around his ears, his tone calm, without a trace of ridicule.
Lu Ming was stunned and shook his head secretly. Did the academy teach him?
No, this is what he saw and heard in his previous life.
Maybe his previous life was like Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, an illusory life, but such a real and colorful experience is not a fantasy.
"How are you going to teach? I remember that the knowledge in the academy is all very high-level knowledge. For the children who are still receiving enlightenment education here, it can be regarded as a heavenly book."
Chu Xuanjing cast a very curious look.
Lu Ming showed a mysterious smile on his face.
"We will know then. Maybe I can bring something new to the children here."
There are too many enlightenment reading materials in the previous life.
What about the Thousand Character Classic and the Three Character Classic?
These are classics that will be passed down through the ages.
Indeed, this kind of plagiarism is very vulgar, but it is useful.
Lu Ming could not copy the shocking sayings of saints, nor could he rely on the knowledge of his previous life to achieve Confucian virtues, but he could use some of the knowledge in his memory to do what he could.
Enlightenment is natural. Who says that being a mortal or a teacher is not natural?
In one day.
The originally shabby courtyard was renovated to be comparable to a new house.
The wooden bed, cabinets, tables, chairs and benches in the room all exuded the freshness of wood. Incense.
I have to say that Carpenter Li's craftsmanship is still very good.
The villagers knew that Lu Ming and Chu Xuanjing were not married, so they cleared out two rooms for them to live in.
In the evening, the villagers left one after another carrying their belongings.
When passing by Lu Ming, they would warmly and friendly call him Mr. Lu.
In the horror world, Lu Ming didn't feel anything when he was called Mr. Lu.
But here, he felt a heavy weight.
This weight was the villagers' expectations of him.
It also carried the future of all the children in the village.
The last one to come out was the village chief.
He stopped in front of Lu Ming, clasped his hands in front of his chest and bowed.
"Mr. Lu, if you have any needs, please feel free to tell us. As long as we can do it, we will never refuse."
"Okay, then I'll trouble the village chief."
Lu Ming did not refuse.
Refusing at this time is not a good thing.
Instead, accepting the kindness will make the village chief feel relieved.
The village chief left with a smile, and his steps down the hill were much lighter.
Lu Ming and Chu Xuanjing looked at each other, and the two turned around and walked into the small courtyard.
"They also left a lot of rice, flour, bacon, salt and oil.
Chu Xuanjing glanced at the kitchen with a strange expression.
"If they give it to us, we should take it. This is what we deserve."
Lu Ming was very calm.
Not to mention that he was going to teach here, just Chu Xuanjing, the ancestors of Tianyi Pavilion had guarded here for generations to prevent the monsters from coming down the mountain and protected this village for many years.
It was right for Chu Xuanjing to enjoy these foods.
"I feel that practicing here for ten years will have a very good effect."
Chu Xuanjing's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a very nice smile.
Lu Ming smiled and said,"That's natural. To practice, you must not only practice, but also do it. Just sitting in the mountains and breathing in and out is not considered true practice. Only by experiencing the mundane world can you transcend it."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are wrong."Chu Xuanjing said meaningfully:"The world of immortal cultivation is also the mortal world, it's just that the strength is a little higher. We can't really think of ourselves as immortals just because we have a little cultivation."
Lu Ming was stunned, then shook his head and laughed.
Before he opened his mouth to speak, he saw a familiar breath coming from above his head.
"The little girl from Tianyi Pavilion said it right, cultivators are also human beings, we can't call ourselves immortals, this won't last long."
Before she finished speaking, a third figure appeared in the courtyard.
Lu Ming and Chu Xuanjing turned their heads and saw Dean Feng looking at them with a smile.
"Dean, has that matter been dealt with?"
Lu Ming's eyes brightened slightly.
Chu Xuanjing beside him bowed and said,"Chu Xuanjing from Tianyi Pavilion, I meet Senior Feng!"
"Not bad, not bad."
Dean Feng twisted his beard and looked back and forth between Lu Ming and Chu Xuanjing. The wrinkles on his face that had disappeared due to his cultivation entering the Out-of-Body state were squeezed out by a smile again.
"You little brat, you said there was nothing between you two, but now you live together!"
Chu Xuanjing's face instantly flushed with a rare look of shame and anger in her eyes.
Because of Dean Feng's seniority, she couldn't retort and had to accept it silently.
Dean Feng grinned and continued,"Little girl, don't worry, I will teach this kid a lesson and let him give you a name."
Then he glared at Lu Ming and said,"Come with me."
Lu Ming sighed helplessly, gave Chu Xuanjing an apologetic look, and followed Dean Feng to the outside of the college.
"The items were sold, and Emperor Hetu was very satisfied. He planned to use the spirit stone weapons as a trump card and use them when encountering a large-scale monster tribe."
Dean Feng handed Lu Ming a storage ring and said,"According to your request, all spirit stones will be exchanged for lower-grade ones, which contain 70% of the three million spirit stone weapons."
Lu Ming took the storage ring and put it on his hand.
Seeing this, Dean Feng opened his mouth, but didn't say much, and asked,"Why are you here?"
"It’s a long story now.……"Lu Ming briefly explained the whole story, then spread his hands helplessly:"This matter was caused by me, so I have to take some responsibility, right?"
"Well done!" Dean Feng nodded in satisfaction, then his expression became serious:"But you are too anxious. This matter was indeed difficult at the beginning, but it became much easier after I broke through to the out-of-body state. Tianyi Pavilion doesn't give us a quota, so we can just go in directly.
As for the three out-of-body states in Tianyi Pavilion, I dealt with them all when I was young, and they dared not refuse to give us a quota. Now look what happened, and this girl was almost killed."
Lu Ming touched his nose with an embarrassed expression.
He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
He thought Chu Xuanjing had a very high status in Tianyi Pavilion, but he didn't expect it to be a little bit short.
"You look so weak, have you used the Buddha's Dharma Image?"
Dean Feng looked back and forth at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming nodded and pointed to the hinterland of Longji Mountain.
"I fought with the Nascent Soul monster in Dragon Ridge Mountain and made a ten-year agreement with him. So I dare not leave here now, for fear that they will return."
"That stone tiger? You didn’t kill it, did you? If the tiger dies, it’s all over!"
