What is Learning?

Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles!

Even if you read 10,000 books, reading too many books and five classics will make people stupid, Zhu Zaikai doesn't have to take the test to gain fame, and he doesn't want to be a generation of Confucianism, and a generation of Confucianism can not only talk about it, what is the benefit of the country and the people?

A knowledgeable and cultured king is never a good king, such as the famous poet Li Yu, such as the famous artist Song Huizong!

Since Zhu Zaikai was seven years old, Lichen began to take Zhu Zaikai to wander everywhere in the south and north, from the mountains to the sea, from the vast grassland Gobi in the north to the jungle and lake in the south. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The future Zhu Zaikai may not be the most learned of all the kings in the world, but he must be the king who has visited the most places.

Reading 10,000 books, how can you travel 10,000 miles?

"Master, that fawn was so pitiful just now, why can't we save it?"

"I saved the fawn, what about the wolf?"

"But how pitiful that mother-mother is, the fawn that has just been born has been eaten by wolves!"

"Wolves also have children to raise. If you can't catch food, the children of the wolf mother will starve to death too! ”

"Ahh Then I can compensate the wolf mother with pigs and sheep, and next time I will eat less."

Obviously, Zhu Zaikai still couldn't accept that the poor deer was torn to pieces by a group of fierce wolves, and Yo You Lu's cry made him feel pity.

"Can you save one, can you save all the deer? Under the way of heaven, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. This is a part of the continuation of the Heavenly Dao, deer eat grass, wolves eat deer. Too many deer is a disaster, and too many wolves are also a disaster. "Lichen has never studied biology, at most he knows a little concept, and naturally he can't explain to Zhu Zaikai what is the food chain and what is the law of the jungle.

"Why?" Zhu Zaikai's eyes widened and he asked puzzled.

"If there are more deer, there will not be enough grass and leaves, and if there are too many of them, the jungle will be destroyed, and if there are more wolves, the deer will be eaten, and then the wolves will come out of the jungle and attack human villages. Everything in the world is linked to each other, and if the balance is lost, it will be a disaster for other creatures and for themselves! Lichen thought for a while and explained, and then added: "The same is true of the Ming Dynasty." If there are more people, there will not be enough land to plant. If there is no land to plant, they will not have enough to eat, and if they do not have enough to eat, they will rebel. And the officials and nobles, there are too many royal families, and the court will not be able to support them. If the court can't support it, they will desperately exploit the people, and then the people who can't survive will also rebel. And then everyone destroys together! ”

"My family has more relatives! But what can be done? They are relatives and cannot be moved! Zhu Zaikai sighed like a little adult.

Obviously, the little guy is small, but he has heard a lot of discussion among the people, and he obviously knows that this vassal king of the world is really a big trouble.

"If there are too many wolves, you can send hunters in to destroy some, or let some wolves go somewhere else. The world is big, why do you have to be crowded together, it's not good for all the animals that depend on the jungle to live. After finishing speaking, he casually summoned a white cloud and left the forest with Zhu Zaikai.

All the way to the south, the scenery changes dramatically. Under the different sky, there is naturally a different scenery.

"Huh! So there seems to be someone down there? Are they indigenous here? Zhu Zaikai followed Lichen and left, obviously very similar to Lichen in speaking.

"No, it's a bunch of monkeys," replied Lichen disapprovingly.

"It's human!" Zhu Zaikai obviously did not agree with Chen's explanation.

"Yidi, beasts too! You have to see them as monkeys later. Those who are not of my race are monkeys, and they are very dangerous and ferocious monkeys, because one day, the people of the Ming Dynasty come to reclaim this fertile jungle, if they are human, we must have compassion, if they are monkeys, we can do whatever we want. ”

"Master, aren't you a monk?" Zhu Zaikai looked at the dust with a little horror.

"Shigong is now your master, not a monk! Shigong is not teaching you to cultivate the Tao now," said Chen, a little angrily. In the past and present lives, I really can't let the dust have a good impression of the group of Southeast Asian Malay monkeys below.

If the dust remembers correctly, this should be either Malaysia or Indonesia. This group of bipedal creatures in Southeast Asia is obviously not fully evolved, what is it not monkeys?

It's just that monkeys are vegetarians, they kill people!

Compared with Tianlian Qianbo in the Ming Dynasty, Southeast Asia in this era was almost all a jungle, and occasionally a few villages or small towns were surrounded by a jungle. All the way to the south, until we were about to reach the sea, I saw the traces of civilization one after another.

This is definitely a very different scenery from the Ming Dynasty, just when Lichen took Zhu Zaikai all the way by, Lichen suddenly frowned, turned his head to the east, and before Zhu Zaikai asked, he saw a village from a distance that seemed to be under siege by a large group of people.

"How can it be!" The dust snorted. A talisman floated up, and several lightning bolts burst through the air. Straight slashed at the small dirt bag not far from the village, and a few guys dressed in obvious differences.

Capture the thief and capture the king first!

Thunder exploded, and lightning shone brightly. A few indigenous tribal chiefs who happened to be full of ambition turned into several black and ripe corpses in an instant under the sudden thunder light.

The natives were in turmoil, where had a group of natives with a low level of civilization seen this? Some were so frightened that they stood on the spot, and then they were killed by arrows shot from the village, and they were so frightened that they immediately turned around and fled. Seeing that the natives were in a mess, the villagers immediately fought back, and soon the natives were driven back to the jungle by the villagers.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Lichen appeared in front of the villagers who were cleaning up the "battlefield" with Zhu Zaikai and Zhu Zaikai.

In this era, there is still a big difference between the Han and the aborigines, whether it is appearance, dress, language or anything else.

"Dao, Dao Chief?" Obviously, the Chinese here have been away from the Central Plains for a long time, and it is rare to see Taoist priests in this foreign land thousands of miles away. Even if he saw that Chen's costume looked like something legendary, he didn't dare to confirm it right away, so he asked with some uncertainty.

"The poor road is dusty, and the good fortune and longevity are immeasurable!" The dust is the first to salute.

"Where, where!" The villagers were just about to say a few words of humility, but when they found that this modesty was really wrong, they hurriedly changed their words: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dao Chang Xianfu!" ”

"The thunder light that fell from the sky just now was released by the Dao Master?" The villagers asked embarrassedly, and then soon a large group of villagers gathered around them in the night and asked, their eyes shining.

The appearance of Lichen and Zhu Zaikai was very abrupt, and the thunder and lightning just now were even more abrupt. Coupled with the inherent image of Taoism among the people, there is a curiosity of the villagers.

No matter where the Chinese go, they will inevitably have legends and yearning for immortals and immortal laws. What's more, the Taoist priest who suddenly appeared in this big and small one is very extraordinary, at least the big Taoist fairy wind and Dao bones, fairy spirit fluttering, and the little Taoist priest has bright eyes and teeth, like a fairy child. You can't find such a beautiful baby in the countryside.

.....

The news of the visit of the Taoist master in the village immediately caused a sensation in the whole village, and it was a great event to be able to see the Taoist master thousands of miles away. After a while, the patriarch of the village, the three elders, hurriedly came out and welcomed Chen and Zhu Zaikai into the village with the most solemn etiquette.

The current Han people are not a nation that has seriously lost their national pride after a few hundred years, and the Han people have always been a proud nation in the Qing Dynasty or before the late Qing Dynasty. A powerful country, a long civilization, and all kinds of advantages that seem to crush the surroundings. Let the Han people in this era, no matter where they go, will consciously retain their own traditions, and do not forget to regard themselves as the descendants of Yan and Huang and the people of China in their hearts.

How could the Han Chinese who had arrived here be willing to blend in with a group of monkey-like Malays?

It's a big village, and it's basically a village, and it's more like a fortress than a village.

What made Chen very pleased was that he saw the ancestral ancestral hall here, saw the small land temple, and also saw the private school.

Of course, there are certainly no imperial examinations here, but at least a private school can remind them of their roots! Is a Han who can't speak Chinese, doesn't wear Hanfu, and can't write Chinese characters still a Han person?

"I don't know where the chief came from?" On the wine table, only the dust table is vegetarian and meatless. But the people who sat with them were obviously people with "heads and faces" in the village.

"Poor Dao traveled here from Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan, and saw that the aborigines were cruel, so he had to take a shot. The saint has clouds: Rong Di jackal, don't get tired of it, Zhuxia is intimate, don't abandon it! Everyone belongs to the Yanhuang clan and the descendants of China. Poor people practice outside the way, but they are also the same clan of Yan and Huang! After finishing speaking, he deliberately looked at Zhu Zaikai beside him and said meaningfully.

"Haha, the Taoist is really worthy of the name of the mountain and the high road, the knowledge is far-reaching, not comparable to ordinary people such as us, the grace of the Taoist chief's rescue, please accept my wait!" After hearing this, the patriarch immediately stood up and led the people in the ancestral hall to bow deeply to the dust.

He accepted it calmly and did not refuse. Under the light wind of the clouds, a group of overseas Chinese people thought that Chen and the others were not mortals.

At a banquet, Lichen and a large group of people asked and answered, but the guests and hosts were happy. The patriarch insisted on keeping the dust and Zhu Zaikai for a few more days.

Everyone is thousands of miles away from the country, and people are in a foreign land. Naturally, it is especially happy to see the people of the old country.

Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of this group of villagers have fled here. It has taken root here for more than 200 years, but it is unforgettable.

The village deliberately left dust and Zhu Zaikai, so naturally they also had something to ask for.

In the land of Fujian and Guangdong, there is a Mazu temple not far from the village, but the villagers built it spontaneously, but there has never been a real temple. The village is not far from the sea, and it is clear that such a wealthy village cannot be supported by just a few acres of land, and it is necessary to do business by the sea. Therefore, whether it is out of peace or its own faith, Mazu is the most important god among this group of Chinese.

Now that there is a master of the Tao here, Mazu Christmas is approaching, and the village hopes that Lichen can help preside over a ritual and pray for the blessing of the village. Of course, the patriarch also promised a large amount of incense money.

There is nothing to be done, and it is a good thing for cultivators to walk in all directions, promote the Dharma and establish the way, and have people to worship. Especially in this 10,000-mile away, surrounded by a large group of green natives, it is a good thing for the Chinese to maintain their faith identity, which is good for Daomen and Daming.

Besides, Lichen has always had a good impression of Mazu Tianfei Niangniang. This is a real goddess of compassion and merit. And in the future, the Ming fleet will travel all over the world, and it is indispensable to ask for the blessing of this Mazu mother, which is also a good opportunity to spread the faith of Mazu to the four seas.

One nation and one faith is undoubtedly the best way to bring overseas Chinese to their hearts.

In the future, after Zhu Zaikai's fleet and army arrive here, he will naturally be able to rely on a large group of Chinese to establish a Chinese country that can be a branch of China. Completely strangled the tragedy of the future in the cradle.

In the following days, Lichen became the most popular guest in the village. On weekdays, he can help the villagers talk about scriptures, as well as the doorway to pray for blessings and disasters every day, and occasionally help people cure minor illnesses and tell a group of children about the ancients.

Chinese people are still very grouped overseas, at least among their fellow villagers, and this village and the surrounding Chinese villages are all informed.

News of the arrival of a high-ranking person in the village spread, and soon more and more people came to visit Chen. Some are sincere to ask for guidance, and some are with a fairy face and the intention of distinguishing the true from the false.

Lichen smiled, and didn't care. To make people believe, to make people convert, one by virtue, but by art.

High moral character can make people trust, such as Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. The magic of magic can make people worship, such as Zuo Ci.

Preaching with virtue is the fruit of the highest achievement, but it requires decades of physical practice. The most slow. Naturally, it is impossible for the dust to be delayed for that long.

Then the only thing left is to practice with "art".

Lichen helped the village with the method of five thunders, although everyone thought so, but after all, no one could see it, and the people from other villages thought it was nonsense.

I don't explain it, I can't do tricks in front of you!

I can't afford to lose that person!

Seeing that Christmas is approaching, this village and all the nearby Chinese villages have begun to prepare for a heavy festival. With the Mazu Temple as a link, the annual Mazu Temple is undoubtedly a major ceremonial temple fair for the unity of the surrounding Chinese. Both to strengthen relations and to declare unity among the clans.

"The immortal chief is so leisurely, it will be Mazu Christmas in two days, and the immortal chief doesn't need to prepare!" The same rice raises hundreds of people, and the dust is not a gold ingot, and naturally it can't be liked by everyone. There were several in the village who were not convinced. Of course, most of them are young people.

It's really that Lichen looks about the same age as them, but when he speaks, he always speaks in the tone of an elder, which makes a few stunned people unhappy.

Of course, it's not all that simple. Perhaps the most important thing is that the dust lacks prestige, and his identity is suspicious, so he naturally can't convince the public.

"Those who cultivate the Tao are pure and pious. As long as the heart is sincere, the spirit of the natural law, why do you need those mundane etiquette? Lichen replied with a smile.

"I always think you're a liar, shouldn't all Taoist priests devote themselves to cultivating in the mountains in order to become immortals, how can there be thousands of miles away and come to the ends of the earth?" The young man at the head is the youngest son of the patriarch, named Wang Sanbao, who has read a few books, followed some places, and is well-informed, so he is naturally very suspicious of Chen.

He is also the person who is most unhappy with eating and drinking.

"Have you ever seen a cultivator?" Lichen asked with a smile.

"Although I haven't seen it, haven't I ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Anyway, you're like a liar," Wang Sanbao and a few companions sat down unceremoniously across the dust tea table.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Poor Dao never deceives people when he speaks," Lichen replied.

"That's what liars say!" Wang Sanbao said very politely. Several accomplices around also hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"If Poor Dao tells you that your father has taken rattan and wants to find you unlucky, and you have to suffer from flesh and skin today, do you think I am lying to you?" Lichen asked amusedly.
