Chapter 291: Checking Schoolwork
Lin Wenfeng and David, who returned to the view, had not yet sat down, and Tang Xiaobao ran back out of breath.
Seeing this, Lin Wenfeng asked, "Why did you come back so early today, didn't you shoot?"
Tang Xiaobao first ran to the water pipe and drank a stomach of cold water before answering, "Master, you don't know about this situation today, this kind of thing happened, and you can't shoot it if you want to." ”
After listening to Lin Wenfeng nodded, indeed, if he hadn't made a move today, the matter would not have been as simple as it is now, especially if the solid steel pipe was smashed down, at least three or four people would be injured to varying degrees.
However, Lin Wenfeng didn't care about this, for him this was just a small episode, and there was nothing to discuss.
"In that case, then you should do whatever you want. After speaking, Lin Wenfeng went back to the study to read and write, after all, life on the mountain is so boring, if there were so many pilgrims every day, it would not be like this.
Speaking of pilgrims, there are indeed a lot more than before, every few days there will be one or two people going up the mountain to pay homage, although they are basically villagers of Liujia Village, but this is also better than the previous ten days and half a month when no one came.
That's all, it's all the credit of Lin Wenfeng's creation technique, if he hadn't recast the stone statue of Sanqing through creation, so that the stone statue had a weak transfer ability, Wenfeng Guan would not have much attraction.
Although the luck of people who go up the mountain to pray for blessings is better for a period of time, especially when playing cards, no one thinks about it, which leads to these changes as not, of course, people who believe in this are different.
The farmhouse at the bottom of the mountain has become prosperous because of the little monkeys, but the mountain is still deserted.
Lin Wenfeng also understood that this could not be changed overnight, so he decided to go with the flow, and now it is more important to enrich himself every day than anything else, otherwise when the opportunity comes, he can only watch it slip away.
Of course, there will be a return on the effort, the efforts they have made in the early stage have not been in vain, whether it is the paved road or the pavilion being built, it has laid the foundation for future tourists to go up the mountain, as long as the time is ripe, the number of tourists on the mountain will have a qualitative leap.
Although life on the mountain is relatively simple, time still flies, and it is almost dinner time before you can do anything.
At this time, Lin Wenfeng walked out of the study, looked at the sky, and asked, "Are they back~?"
David, who was washing the vegetables, replied, "Not yet, but it should be soon, the two of them can eat on time, master, you can rest assured." ”
After listening, Lin Wenfeng nodded, sat in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting under Tang Xiaobao's service, and by the way, he inspected Tang Xiaobao and David's homework in the past few days, and answered the questions they encountered.
For example, because David does not understand Chinese and the cultural history of China, he cannot understand many words and phrases in the scriptures, which leads to David only knowing what it is, not knowing why, and can only understand the scriptures literally.
So the problem he encountered was the most, basically the back of the scriptures was ripe, but there was a big deviation in understanding, just like there are two paragraphs in the "Taishang Induction Chapter" that there are gods who have faults in heaven and earth, according to the severity of people's crimes, to take people away, and if they are reduced, they will be poor, and if they are in trouble, everyone will be evil, and the punishment will follow, and the auspicious celebration will be avoided, and the evil star disaster will be exhausted, and they will die。。。。。。 On the day of the moon, so is the god of the hearth.
The general idea is that there are gods in the head, and you must do things according to your own conscience, don't do bad things, and if you do too many bad things, there will be no good end.
For Chinese people, as long as there is a little culture, there is no big problem, and even if there is, it is only a matter of accuracy in translation into the vernacular.
But David is different, you need to translate and explain to him sentence by sentence, and you also have to popularize common sense questions about Taoism to him casually, so that he can better understand the scriptures.
As for Tang Xiaobao, Lin Wenfeng is basically free-range to him, it all depends on his consciousness, after all, he grew up in China since he was a child, even if the ancient text is not good, it is much better than that of foreigners, so every time Lin Wenfeng explains the scriptures to David, he will bring Tang Xiaobao with him.
While listening to Lin Wenfeng's explanation, David kept recording something in his small notebook.
Lin Wenfeng glanced at it and didn't say anything, but continued to explain his understanding of the scriptures.
The "Taishang Induction Chapter" is not long, only more than 1,200 words, mainly in the name of the Taishang, to expound the "heavenly and human induction" and karma";
However, the good deeds it advocates and the evil deeds that it strives to eliminate, such as patriotism and love for the people, respect for the elders and love for the young, compassion for things, and so on, are of great help to regulate the behavior of people in the world, which is why Lin Wenfeng asked Tang Xiaobao to familiarize themselves with the scriptures in addition to reading morning, noon and evening classes.
After all, be a person beforehand, you can't do it well, what else do you want to do.
Confucius said, "If you have the ability to do something, you should learn the literature." "In Confucian culture, self-cultivation, family, governing the country, and leveling the world are the ladder of life learning, and "self-cultivation" is to learn to be a man, which is the first lesson in life, and only by learning to be a man can we succeed.
The same is true of Taoism, the first self-cultivation of the Tao, the law is the external cultivation, as the internal cultivation, to achieve the self-cultivation and enlightenment to achieve "with the ghosts and gods", "longevity and long-term vision", "governing the country and things", is the source of Taoism, but also the core belief of Taoism.
As long as you know how to be a person and see your own essence clearly, you can find your own "Tao" in the days to come.
After listening to Lin Wenfeng's explanation, David knew what the scriptures he memorized were talking about, and he became interested in the knowledge mentioned in them.
It can be seen that he listened quite carefully, and only he knew how much he had memorized.
Lin Wenfeng saw that it was almost over, so he said, "That's all for today, if you have any questions, you can ask me again, but you have to learn to think for yourself, and have your own understanding of the scriptures, after all, no matter how reasonable I say, it is not necessarily right, if you have any different ideas, you can talk to me, let's learn from each other." ”
After hearing this, David immediately stood up and saluted Lin Wenfeng respectfully, "Thank you for your answer, I will continue to study hard." He now has a keen interest in the Taoist scriptures and wants to understand everything that the scriptures say.
Lin Wenfeng was very satisfied with his attitude, smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be so serious, and then looked at Tang Xiaobao, who was looking confused, and asked, "What about you, how much have you written down?"
Tang Xiaobao smiled awkwardly, but reacted very quickly and said, "Of course I wrote it all down~"
Lin Wenfeng didn't look at him and said, "Oh~ Then you repeat what I just said, let's say it first, make a mistake and start when you're ready." After speaking, Lin Wenfeng picked up the teacup and began to enjoy the good time of this moment, as if nothing had happened.
But Tang Xiaobao was in a difficult situation, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, desperately recalling what Lin Wenfeng said just now, but his brain was blank, and he couldn't remember what Lin Wenfeng said just now.
Just as he was about to accept the punishment, a group of monkeys shouted from outside the temple, which was quite ugly, but it was like heaven for Tang Xiaobao, and he immediately wanted to change the topic in order to escape this catastrophe.
However, his idea was about to fall through after all, and he saw Lin Wenfeng walking towards the outside of the view, and said without looking back, "You continue to prepare, and I will test you when I come back." ”
Tang Xiaobao wanted to cry without tears after hearing this, he looked at David pitifully, hoping that he could help him, but David turned a blind eye to what he did and walked out with Lin Wenfeng.
Only Tang Xiaobao was left there in a daze.
