In That Distant Little Dark Room

Ch. 8 - Sequelae

Ch.8 - The sequelae of Yuanqingdan

Zhang Jingmo was angry with Lu Guijiu back then, so naturally he would not vent his anger on Lu Guijiu now.

But he knew that Lu Lu Guijiu's joy in becoming a Taoist had dimmed a lot. He said, "Where is the Podojiu man?"

Mingyue replied: "Master Lu is in class, do you need Mingyue to call him over?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "No need, I will go and see for myself."

The teacher who taught Lu Guijiu to practice calligraphy was invited by Zhang Jingmo from the outer sect. He had been busy with other things and had never seen him. He happened to be free this time, so it might as well go and have a look.

Zhang Jingmo walked to Lu Guijiu's residence and heard the sound of a child reading in the distance. When he listened carefully, he found that Lu Guijiu was actually reading a history book.

Zhang Jingmo stood outside the door and listened for a while before knocking on the door. He said: "Lu Guijiu, This is teacher."

After a while, Lu Guijiu came and opened the door for Zhang Jingmo. When he saw Zhang Jingmo, he beamed with joy and called him "Master" coquettishly.

Zhang Jingmo nodded towards Lu Guijiu, and then looked at the teacher invited by Lu Guijiu who was standing behind him.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Thank you."

The teacher was just a powerless outer disciple. When he was invited to Zhang Jingmo's cave, he thought he was going to be a handyman, but he didn't expect that he was teaching calligraphy to the cave master's disciples... and the cave master He was also very polite to him.

The man was a little flattered when he heard Zhang Jingmo's words, and said hurriedly: "No, no, the cave master is too polite."

Zhang Jingmo looked down at Lu Guijiu again and said, "What books are you reading recently?"

Lu Guijiu handed the book in his hand to Zhang Jingmo. Zhang Jingmo took it and looked at it, only to find that it was the official history of the previous dynasty.

He asked: "How to read this?" He thought that the teacher would only teach Lu Guijiu some dogmatic moral principles.

Seeing that Zhang Jingmo had no expression on his face, the teacher thought it was because he was not happy and hurriedly explained: "The young master thinks that reading other books is boring. Besides, there are indeed some uncommon words in the history books, so I..."

Zhang Jingmo didn't continue to listen to the explanation, and just agreed in a neutral tone.

Lu Guijiu seemed to sense that Zhang Jingmo was unhappy, and he asked: "Master, doesn't he like me reading history books? If master doesn't like it..."

Zhang Jingmo said: "There is no displeasure in being a teacher."

Lu Guijiu stopped talking and looked aggrieved.

Zhang Jingmo sighed. He was indeed in a bad mood, and he was indeed angry. He said: "Put down the book first. I have something to tell you, master."

After hearing this, Lu Guijiu handed the book to the teacher behind him and left with Zhang Jingmo.

When they reached a deserted place, Zhang Jingmo opened his mouth and asked, "Has Guijiu already entered Taoism?"

When Lu Guijiu heard the word "Enter the Tao", he nodded happily. After all, he was only a four-year-old child. No matter how smart he was, he could not completely grasp people's hearts. In his opinion, the master would definitely be very happy if he knew that he had become the Tao. Be happy for him and maybe reward him.
