Chapter 445: Eight Proverbs
Literally, what the proverb refers to is probably the hiding place of these two things. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info, although I have read more than 10,000 volumes, I can't understand the proverbs in this picture at all.
In the distance, the wailing of jackdaws came from the dead trees, and it reached the ears, making people feel desolate.
Looking around, the mountains and fields are desolate, this scene is so familiar, as if it was when he and his father Nangong Yin were talking about poetry and scriptures a year ago.
"Yi'er, when you finish reading the scriptures collected by your father in two years, I will send you to Songyang Academy to study, there are no less than a million books there, which is definitely enough for you to read......"
Nangong Yin's words faintly sounded in Nangong Yi's ears, at this time, the words were still in his ears, but he was already on the edge of the world, and a sadness hit his heart in vain.
"Songyang Academy?" Nangong Yi suddenly remembered the name. I can't understand these eight proverbs now, probably because I don't have enough knowledge. If you can go to Songyang Academy to study, there may be great hope, there are millions of books there, and you will definitely be able to gain something.
In addition, the things recorded in that volume of "Divine Hidden Dragon Book" may be able to be slowly understood when you arrive at Songyang Academy, anyway, there is no place to go now, why not go over and study it carefully?
Thinking of this, Nangong Yi no longer hesitated. He put away all the contents of the package, then picked it up and ran like an arrow to the west of the mountain.
Luoyang City is still hundreds of miles away from Songyang Academy, if you are on foot, it will take a lot of time, and you will be tired of meat and vegetables. Now that I have lost my face, it is better to go to the market for one night, buy a foal the next day, and then make plans for the trip.
Nangong Yi thought while running, and half an hour later, he came to a market. It was just after noon, and there were many people and traders in the market.
Nangong Yi felt hungry in his stomach, so he looked around, and saw that there was an inn not far away, so he strode over.
At this time, it was the end of the year, and there were many people who came and went to the market to buy New Year's goods, and there were many people in the inn. Nangong Yi first opened a single room, ordered a somen noodle, and then ate it by himself.
As soon as Nangong Yi took two bites, he heard the voices of a group of big men talking from the dinner table next door.
"Did you hear that? Last night, Nangong Yunshan Villa, the mansion of Nangong Yaoxiong, the leader of the Wuling Alliance, actually caught fire, the fire was so fierce that none of the people inside escaped alive, that scene was really miserable!"
Another voice said: "Alas, as a martial arts master, the old man of Nangong has always been bold, upright and upright, but he doesn't want to end up like this, but I don't know who is ruthless?"
"This matter is strangely tight, the old man Nangong's martial arts can be called a grandmaster, no matter how big the fire is, how can he not even escape from anyone?
"Oh, you don't know yet, I heard that the government and a group of strange people are still investigating the evidence of the Nangong family's rebellion, everyone is dead, and they have to throw corpses to dig up graves, what a sin!
These people were talking nonsense, and Nangong Yi heard it in his ears as if he had returned to the scene of last night, so he hurriedly ate two bites, then got up and went back to the room with tears in his eyes.
Back in the room, Nangong Yi had no intention of resting, so he took out the ancient book called "The Book of the Divine Hidden Dragon" and looked at it in detail.
Although the scroll was extremely simple, Nangong Yi recognized the handwriting on it. This time he started from the first page, and it was full of words such as foundation, furnace, lead and mercury, baby, primordial infant, out-of-body, silence, catastrophe, void, and so on.
It was followed by some explanations of refining oneself and preserving sincerity, building a foundation and cultivating medicine, leaving Jiaojing, collecting medicine and returning to Ding, Zhou Tian Huoqi, Qiankun Jiaojing, raising a fetus in October, changing the spirit and changing the Ding, raising the mud pill and cultivating kindness, and returning the way of the void, etc., but all of them are difficult to understand in ancient and mysterious language.
Nangong Yi sat alone in the house that was not too cold, read the words on the scroll one by one, and then used the 'impression spider web memory method' to memorize all the contents deeply in his mind. Two hours had passed since these things were done.
Since then, Nangong Yi has been speculating about the content of this "Hidden Dragon Book", because it has been the end of the year, so every household is busy welcoming the arrival of the New Year, and the people in the market are gradually much less than the previous New Year's fair.
Dead vines and old trees, flying snow jackdaws. In addition to contemplating the "Divine Hidden Dragon Book" in the inn these days, Nangong Yi occasionally goes out for a walk.
There is still a row of important criminals who have been arrested by the government at the city gate, except for some grand thieves, murder fugitives, and flower picking**. In addition to the stick, the remaining two are portraits of himself and a young man posted at the west gate of Luoyang City.
Chapter 10 Songyang
But I don't know why he and this young man were arrested by the imperial court? The other people's bounties were as high as 20,000 taels, but the bounties for him and the young man were as high as 100,000 taels. Fortunately, I now have two ingenious masks, otherwise, I am afraid that I will be arrested by the government at this time.
Since Nangong Yi planned to go to Songyang Academy to study, he also asked some nearby Xiucai about the opening of Songyang Academy in the past few days. After inquiry, I learned that on the eighth day of the first month of each year, Songyang Academy began to recruit students.
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Nangong Yi secretly returned to Luoyang City once. Seeing that Luoyang City was full of imperial court officers and soldiers, as if something big had happened, they went back and forth on the streets. After seeing this situation, Nangong Yi didn't dare to stay longer, and hurried out of Luoyang City and returned to the inn where he lived.
After a few more days, on a snowy night, the end of the year finally came to an end - Chinese New Year's Eve.
Nangong Yi was alone in the inn, looking at the goose feathers and heavy snow flying outside, and his heart was desolate. This situation is in this situation, but it is already a matter of things and people. Looking at it, Nangong Yi groaned in a low voice.
"Seeing the autumn breeze in Luoyang City, I want to write a book.
I can't say enough in a hurry, and the pedestrians are about to open the seal"
"I was worried about getting up and going back to bed, and the night was long.
The wind blows the snow flakes like flowers, and the moonlight and ice are like broken mirrors. ”
After spending the Spring Festival, three days later, Nangong Yi suddenly remembered the old fortune teller who showed him the way at the west gate of Luoyang City that day, so he hurried over to find it.
But after looking for two whole days, I didn't see a trace of the fortune teller, maybe he had already left Luoyang City, Nangong Yi thought secretly.
Seeing that there were only four days left before Songyang Academy opened to recruit students, Nangong Yi returned to the inn to pack up his things, settled the bill and left the inn.
Because they are still in their prime, there are not many vendors in the market, and many shops and restaurants are still closed. Nangong Yi searched three streets before finding a store that sold horses.
After negotiating with the boss, Nangong Yi bought a medium horse with black coat and some brown miscellaneous hair. But looking at the body fat and hooves and toe angles, it is still a horse that is not too bad.
After paying the silver taels, Nangong Yi led the horse to the street, bought some dry food and a water bag, and then stepped on the horse's back and ran in the direction of Songyang Academy.
Songyang Academy is located at the foot of the extreme peak six miles north of Dengfeng City, facing the Shuangxi River, because it is located in the sun of Songshan Mountain, so it is named.
Songyang Academy is one of the four major academies of the Song Dynasty, along with Yuelu Academy at the foot of Yuelu Mountain in Shanhua in Xiangxi, Bailudong Academy under Houping Mountain at the southern foot of Wulao Peak in Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province, and Shigu Academy in Shigu County in Xiangxi.
Songyang Academy, formerly known as Songyang Temple, was built in the eighth year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was renamed Songyang Temple during the Sui Dynasty. The Songyang Academy is simple and elegant, and the main buildings on the central axis have five entrances and complete corridors.
After several days of travel, Nangong Yi finally arrived at Songyang Academy on the seventh day of the first lunar month. At that time, the winter snow had not yet melted, and the cold and killing atmosphere still existed, but there were more than 1,000 people who reported outside Songyang Academy.
These people came from all over the country, some from Sichuan-Shaanxi, some from Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi, and some from Shandong, Henan, and Anhui. The accents of the students from all over the world are different, and when they first arrive, many of them have a happy look on their faces, as if they can finally enter the university.
Songyang Academy is very famous because it is very famous, so when recruiting students, the admission fee is also expensive. The fee is charged for three years at a time, a total of 540 taels, and the tuition fee alone is as much as 200 taels.
That's it, the students who came to report were still like a tidal wave, rushing back and forth wave after wave. However, there is an upper limit to the number of students enrolled in Songyang Academy every year, generally speaking, it can recruit 300 people when it is more, and only 150 people when it is less.
Just because the probability of Songyang Academy being on the list every year is very high, generally there are more than ten people shortlisted in each Jinshi competition, and the proportion of Jinshi among the 100 people is very large. That's why there are such high admission procedures.
Of course, so many people come here to study, all in order to one day leap over the dragon gate and embark on a career in office. At that time, the silver snowflakes would not have to worry about the way.
There are more than 1,800 people who have come to Songyang Academy to report this year, and the total number of people is estimated to be about 3,000.
Nangong Yi wore a mask with yellow muscles and thin muscles, and he was wearing extremely simple, so he couldn't attract the attention of others when he stood in the crowd. After paying the tuition, Nangong Yi reported in Yi Nan's name, and then got a sign, which was used for testing.
All students who want to enter Songyang Academy must go through the three passes of the preliminary examination, re-examination and interview before they can enter, otherwise, this year will be regarded as hopeless to enter Songyang Academy.
The entry card that Nangong Yi got was written on the 1,352 people, and whoever wanted to come couldn't get his turn for a while, so he got up and went to a nearby inn to stay, waiting for the next day's test.
Early the next morning, Nangong Yi had breakfast and walked slowly to the test compound of Songyang Academy. At that time, it was already full of students who had come to take the test, and before the test had even started, some people were talking to each other.
Some asked about the other party's origin, some asked about the knowledge of poetry and songs, and some talked about the topics of this preliminary exam.
Nangong Yi found a back seat and sat down, looked around, but didn't talk to others.
After a while, an old man with a slight mountain body came out of the back of the compound, holding a stack of test strips in his hand. This person is not tall, with a silver hair, a pair of eyes that are not very godly, and his spirit is not strong.
The old man walked slowly to the pavilion in front of the crowd, and then took out a scroll of paper full of words and read out the disciplinary requirements and test time during the test. Then he asked a dredge next to him to send the test questions in his hand to the students in the venue who came to take the test, and after ringing the bell, the test officially began.
After Nangong Yi took the test questions sent by the scholar, he unfolded it and took a look, there were a total of fifteen questions on it, and there would be several spaces in each question for students to fill in. The first thirteen are respectively from the "Book of Changes", "Book of Songs", "Book of Songs", "Zhou Li", "Rites", "Book of Rites", "Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan", "Spring and Autumn Ram Biography", "Spring and Autumn Valley Liang Biography", "Analects", "Filial Piety Classic", "Erya", "Mencius", which are the thirteen Confucian classics.
The other two questions are extracted from Han Fei's "Han Feizi" and Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" respectively.
For example, the first question is taken from the Book of Changes: "Heaven and earth are humble, and they are determined." The humble is Chen, and the noble and lowly are in the position. There are constant, rigid and soft. Fang gathers by like, and things are divided into groups. Formed in the sky, shaped in the earth, and the changes are seen. Therefore, rigidity and softness rub each other, and swing together. ”
The second question is taken from the "Book of Shang": "It is the order of Xihe, Qin Ruohaotian, the pear wants to experience the stars, and the time to teach people." Divide your life, the house is ruined, and the sun is in the valley. The day of the guest is out, and the rank is made in the east. In the middle of the day, the star birds are analyzed by Yin Zhongchun and the people, and the birds and beasts breed their tails. ”
After Nangong Yi finished reading the test questions, he picked up the pen and started writing, and after a while, he answered the last question "Tao Te Ching".
At this time, there was a sudden noise in the test venue, and Nangong Yi turned his head to see that there was a student with entrainment. The invigilator was seen by the invigilator when cheating, so according to the test rules just now, this person will be immediately stopped from the exam and expelled from the examination room.
Chapter 11: The Belly
Many people looked at that person being invited out by two burly men, and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh that the student was smart but was mistaken by cleverness.
Nangong Yi turned around and saw that the content of the last question was: "If it is complete, it will be straight, it will be profitable, it will be new, less will be gained, and more will be confused." It is a saint holding one for the world. Don't see it, don't show it, don't cut it for it, don't make it meritorious, don't grow for it. ”
"Good is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. Dwelling, heart, and, good words and faith, good governance, good work, good time. The husband is indisputable, so there is no especially. ”
After reading the question, Nangong Yi knew that the first paragraph to be filled in was "Qu, Vain, Wa, and 敝", and the second paragraph was to be filled in with the words "Good Land, Good Yuan, and Good Ren". (..)
