Chapter 195: A Gentleman's Self-Cultivation

The moonlight fireflies poured down, illuminating Lin Ziyun's face, and he was like a green lotus blooming, blooming from the mud, shouting out the pride of a scholar. The starlight and moon shadows, a few meteors in the night sky, seem to be igniting the sea of stars for the "four sentences of the horizontal canal" that Lin Ziyun said.

Liu Zhilian was dumbfounded, as if he was still immersed in Lin Ziyun's words. He took a deep breath and asked, "The heart of heaven and earth? This heaven and earth are not human beings, nor are they animals, what is the heart of heaven and earth?"

Lin Ziyun said: "Heaven and earth have no heart, and biology is the heart. It is precisely for this reason that scholars must set their hearts for heaven and earth. ”

Looking at the puzzled eyes of everyone, Lin Ziyun said with a straight face: "The matter of scholars, don't seek benevolence from knowing benevolence, good benevolence and evil are not benevolent, to be able to do this, it is to establish a heart for heaven and earth." ”

Liu Zhilian then asked, "What is benevolence?"

Regarding the interpretation of "benevolence" is too broad, Lin Ziyun thought for a while and replied: "People-oriented is also benevolence, and gentlemen are benevolent." ”

Liu Zhilian clapped his hands and said: "The gentleman is benevolent, Brother Lin is really admirable." Then he asked, "What is the life of the people?"

Lin Ziyun said with a smile: "Reason, sex, and life, there is no difference between the three. In heaven is life, righteousness is reason, in man-made nature, the Lord is in the body, in fact, it is one. ”

As soon as Lin Ziyun's words came out, everyone was discolored. In fact, what he said has never been spoken, and since the mandate of heaven is nature, is the destiny of the people not the nature of the people?

Lin Ziyun couldn't believe it when he saw these students, so he said: "Those who do their best know their nature." If you know its nature, you will know the sky. Keep its heart and nurture its nature, so everything is also good. Longevity is not two, self-cultivation is in order to take care of it, so it is also life-threatening. ”

Liu Zhilian opened his mouth wide and looked at Lin Ziyun deeply. Only then did he realize that he was a little rude, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "This erudition is a matter of course, and the student has been taught." He called himself a student, and he was already completely impressed by Lin Ziyun's words, and the previous displeasure and doubts were long gone at this moment.

Liu Zhilian's convincing does not mean that others are impressed, some people think that he is nonsense, and said: "Hmph, the truth is very good, who doesn't study for fame?"

Lin Ziyun glanced at the person who spoke, and he remembered that this person's name was Qi Liang. Lin Ziyun laughed and said: "If a scholar wants to declare his righteousness, he must first read his book." If all the scholars in the world are just like you just for fame, then I don't bother to be with you. Lin Ziyun's sentence is saying that he reads to express his ambition and disdain utilitarianism.

Qi Liang heard him sarcastically mock himself, and couldn't help but say: "According to what you say, most of the scholars in the world are not worthy of being with you!" This Qi Liang is sinister and cunning, and one sentence directly pulled Lin Ziyun to the opposite side of the world's scholars.

Lin Ziyun saw that he was so unreasonable, and laughed and said: "The learning of a gentleman is also to beautify his body, and the learning of a villain is also to think that he is a calf." ”

"Haha......" Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Qi Liang's face flushed, Lin Ziyun was laughing at him for treating his knowledge as a business. Qi Liang was humiliated by him, his face was lost, and he said angrily: "What are you arrogant? Hmph, you have lofty ideals, then you are really great." But what's the use of your big dreams? If you don't get fame and money, can you achieve it?"

Qi Liang was annoyed and angry, and Liu Zhilian secretly shook his head.

Lin Ziyun secretly said in his heart: "Qi Liang, the amount of energy, what a lot of energy! Lin Ziyun looked disdainful and said: "The husband must be quiet to learn, and he must learn also." There is no way to learn without learning, and there is no way to learn without ambition. You don't even know how to study, and you still talk to me about ambition and ideals?"

Liu Zhilian nodded secretly, and Lin Ziyun's words made him pause. A gentleman is not ambitious and unable to learn, otherwise how can he cultivate himself?

Qi Liang said that he was crazy, he stood up and pointed at Lin Ziyun and scolded: "Nonsense, is it true that the scholar is wrong in the examination of merit and fame? Or are you saying that the imperial court is wrong to recruit talents?" Qi Liang has lost his mind, he is simply talking nonsense, splashing dirty water on Lin Ziyun, how can there be a little bit of the demeanor of a scholar?

Lin Ziyun saw that he was crazy, and sneered: "The learning of a gentleman is also in the ears, in the heart, in the four bodies, and in the form of movement. At the end, creeping and moving, one can be the law. Between the mouth and the ear, there are four inches of ears, which is enough to make a beautiful seven-foot body! You are not even as good as a villain, you are like a woman at the entrance of the village, can you only scold people?"

Lin Ziyun was laughing at him for not even being as good as a villain, Qi Liang was forced by Lin Ziyun's words to be unable to say a word, and his fingers pointing at Lin Ziyun were trembling.

Lin Ziyun didn't spare him, walked over to him, and lamented loudly: "The scholars of the past are themselves, and the scholars of today are people." A scholar like you, Lin is really ashamed to be with you. ”

Qi Liang was forced to retreat step by step by Lin Ziyun's momentum and fell to the ground. Liu Zhilian couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Brother Lin scolded him miserably, alas!"

Lin Ziyun didn't speak, took a pot of wine from himself, and raised his head to drink. Seeing Lin Ziyun turn away, Liu Zhilian muttered: "The scholars of the past are themselves, and the scholars of today are people!" Lin Ziyun's last sentence made him sigh endlessly.

After this incident, the people had no intention of reuniting. Liu Zhilian slowly walked in front of Lin Ziyun and said with a smile: "Brother Lin's talk today is really sobering!"

Lin Ziyun said faintly: "What I am talking about today is also some former sage, but it is just a feeling. ”

Liu Zhilian couldn't help but sigh: "I see, it seems that I am just a shallow learner, and I don't know that there are such remarks in the world." "Book it

What Lin Ziyun said was all the knowledge he learned in that world, and it would be strange if Liu Zhilian had heard of it. Lin Ziyun comforted him and said, "There is no end to learning, why should Brother Liu feel sad?"

Liu Zhilian said with a smile: "Yes, I should be happy to hear these remarks today." Liu Zhilian looked at Mantang Qinghe and said slightly: "The lotus is fragrant, and it is already very beautiful before it blooms." ”

Lin Ziyun heard what he meant, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Liu Ailian?"

Liu Zhilian smiled, and there was a trace of sadness in the moonlight: "The plum blossom is the gentleman among the flowers, Ling Han blooms alone, and the fragrance is overflowing." The lotus flower is the villain of the flower, and this flower needs the help of lotus leaves to show its nobility and fragrance. ”

Lin Ziyun heard this remark for the first time, and since ancient times, it has been said that it is a gentleman's style for the lotus flower to come out of the mud and not be stained. He couldn't help but say: "The lotus is not a villain, it is precisely because the villain likes to be close to the gentleman that there is a lotus leaf full of ponds." ”

Liu Zhilian smiled: "Villains like to make friends with gentlemen, and gentlemen also like to get close to villains." "Liu Zhilian is saying that he is a gentleman, so he likes lotus, and a gentleman loves villains.

Lin Ziyun smiled dumbly, the two talked for a long time, and they were quite confidants.

Liu Zhilian saw the pipa beside Lin Ziyun and said with a smile: "Brother Lin is also good at music?"

Lin Ziyun has only learned a few skins, where does he know what real music and rhythm university is, and said: "Seeing the mountains and mountains, seeing the water and enjoying the water, it's just an interest, I just know how to play some tunes." ”

Liu Zhilian stroked his palm and said: "See the mountains and mountains, see the water and enjoy the water, I am the Junle Junle." But you're alone. ”

Lin Ziyun felt that he was a little bold, and he didn't want to lose his spirit, so he raised his wine and said: "I still love the things in this cup, Brother Liu treats me like this, I toast you." With that, he raised his head and drank it all.

Liu Zhilian said with a smile: "With such a beautiful day, how about Brother Lin play a song?"

Lin Ziyun nodded, took the pipa and stroked the strings and sang, "...... The sound of silk and bamboo teaches people to forget their worries, and if Nanke dreams. The stars are blue and transparent, there is no hero at the time, and the heart ape has been deeply locked ......"

Liu Zhilian had never heard such a light song, and couldn't help but say: "It's a good song with lyrical scenes, but it's a little brisk." ”

Lin Ziyun smiled and said, "The musician, the pleaser, the elegance and the vulgar are appreciated." ”

Liu Zhilian nodded and said: "It's a good elegant and vulgar appreciation, but I'm too constrained by the framework." Liu Zhilian couldn't help but say again: "Thinking about it this way, the song that Brother Lin played just now is really empty and wonderful, I don't know if it has a name?"

Lin Ziyun said: "Nanshan memories, it is difficult to delete the memories ......"

The two played a song together, singing loudly and like-mindedly. The night breeze was cool, Liu Zhilian invited Lin Ziyun into the house to talk at night, the two talked very much, the appearance of the five lakes and the four seas, the width of the south and the north. From scriptures and rituals to anecdotes, everything is discussed.

For several days, Liu Zhilian invited Lin Ziyun as his companion, and the two gradually became like friends who had been friends for many years. Liu Zhilian found that there was such a close friend in this world, and Lin Ziyun felt that he was recognized.

said that the second aunt had a close relationship with Lin Ziyun because of Liu Zhilian, and although she sent someone to keep an eye on her, she never found that Lin Ziyun was stealing. On this day, Liu Zhilian didn't know why he didn't return, and the second aunt had crooked thoughts.

"This person is really not a good person, and the connection is fooled by him one by one. An excuse needs to be found to get rid of him. The second aunt secretly thought of a way, but this Lin Ziyun just stayed in the room and didn't come out, and she had no choice.

A few more days passed, and Liu Zhilian did not return for a long time, and finally came the bad news.

Lin Ziyun was shocked when he heard what the family in the house said, "How come?"

Liu Zhilian's group of young people heard that Yao Bi was recruiting migrant workers and exploiting money, but they were only reprimanded by the current saint, and they did not condemn themselves, and everyone was furious. After discussing this, these young people prepared to get together and ambush Yao Bi on his way back to rob him.

Although Liu Zhilian and the others succeeded in killing Yao Bi, only one of the people who went escaped from the scene. Liu Zhilian was killed in the hands of Yao Bi, Lin Ziyun was very sad and chagrined, but regretted that he didn't kill this notorious corrupt official at that time. His thought was like this, and it caused such consequences.

"You don't kill those who deserve to be killed. You killed people who shouldn't have been killed. Lin Ziyun, Lin Ziyun, you are really a plague god!" Lin Ziyun wept bitterly.

Yao Bi injured him, it was Liu Zhilian who saved him, and because of Yao Bi, he killed Liu Zhilian, which is really fate!

As soon as Liu Zhilian died, the second aunt was not idle. Liu Zhilian is not her parent, the relationship between the two is normal, and the second aunt is not very sad. Now that Liu Zhilian is dead, Lin Ziyun has no backer, and she has a way to get rid of Lin Ziyun.
