Chapter 418: Watching the River from the Yellow Tower

Three days have passed since the night Liu Tan visited Wangji Building, and the matter entrusted by Yu Shu to Xue Rui has not yet been understood, and on the surface, there has been no progress in the case.

On the day of April 15th, there was Fang Zijing's morning class, which was arranged in the Tenghuang Building in the North Courtyard, one of the four library buildings, where hundreds of picture scrolls and picture books were collected, which were handed down from the past dynasties, and a considerable part of them were of great value.

Yu Shu had been here twice before, and when she saw that the doors downstairs were locked, Fang Zijing gave a lecture here, so she had the opportunity to enter and have a look.

Tenghuang Building is different from the other three regular study buildings, but it is built on a flat mountain rock, cool and deep, with windows on all sides.

Yu Shu looked left and right into the attic, and Situ Qinglan, who was standing at the top of the stairs to greet people, saw her at a glance, and said to the two female students next to her to let them go up first, and walked quickly towards Yu Shu.

"Miss Yu."

"Miss Situ," Yu Shu nodded at Situ Qinglan with a smiling face, "I'm not late, am I, Academician Fang has arrived?" ”

"The outsider is upstairs, come with me." Situ Qinglan pointed to the stairs and walked ahead to show Yu Shu the way, while turning back to talk to her.

"Today we have an eye blessing, to appreciate a few treasured river maps, grandpa also deliberately took out a private collection, by the way, you haven't forgotten to bring the gossip plate, right?"

"With it." Yu Shu patted the bag tied to her waist, which contained the new compass she had changed a while ago, from the Xin Family's Dayi Pavilion.

The two went up to the second floor, walked straight to the corridor, bypassed a screen embroidered with Qionglin magnolia, and saw a hall with windows on both sides, bright light, a closed white wall hung several pictures of different widths and lengths, two of which were covered with cloth and were not shown, and under the wall stood six or seven students talking quietly, some men and some women. The colors of the clothes are different, and there are two female students who are newly admitted to the hospital this year, and they have changed into the newly made Xiangfei skirt, which is as pink as Zhaohua's color. It's very eye-catching.

However, when Yu Shu saw the clothes, he only felt dazzling, and when he turned his eyes, he saw a Taishi chair placed under the rattan trellis not far away, and Fang Zijing was sitting there upright, looking at the scenery outside the window, with long sleeves covering his knees. His gray hair was curled behind his head, and he wore a brown scarf, looking like an old pedant.

"Miss Yu go over first, there are still a few people who haven't arrived, I'll go down and pick them up." Situ Qinglan took Yu Shu to the door, then turned around and went downstairs again.

Yu Shu glanced at Fang Zijing twice, and saw that he didn't notice him, so he didn't come up to speak. I walked to the wall where the painting was hung, and chose a place where no one was standing.

On the ninth day of the first month, the students who listened to the piano by the bridge saw her and recognized her. Hesitating, two or three came forward one after another to salute, Yu Shu responded lightly, they saw that she was not interested in chatting, they all retreated, and there was nothing to be bored with.

After a while, Situ Qinglan led the last two students who came to the morning class upstairs, and when everyone arrived, Fang Zijing turned his attention from the window to the interior, and coughed lightly. asked more than ten people present to quiet down and stand facing him.

Fang Zijing first swept over the students, his gaze swept over Yu Shu, but after a slight pause, he withdrew his gaze and said slowly:

"Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The four arts of Manjushri are all linked to the easy to learn, and their techniques are harmonious, which is the earliest kind of thaumaturgy, which is also the origin of thaumaturgy. In the last lecture, the old man explained the common point between the piano rhythm and the easy, and you have all done your homework after you go back, and after today's lecture, I will leave someone alone to take the school. Today, I let you come to Tenghuanglou to enter the country from the painting and take you to enjoy the river picture scroll. ”

At this point, he stopped talking, raised his hand and stroked his goatee, and asked:

"Can anyone say about the origin of gossip and Hetu?"

Taishi Shuyuan comes to a group of newcomers every three years, eighteen academicians, and they also retalk about the old topics every three years, which is to accommodate the new students, but there are also some old people, who followed Fang Zijing in the first year, so it doesn't matter if they re-learn.

As soon as Fang Zijing's voice fell, after a short pause, someone stepped forward to answer:

"The student knows that there is a record in the "Yi Zhi Ci" that the Fuxi gossip is derived from the river map on the back of the dragon horse, the river is out of the map, Luo is out of the book, and the natural god is the sage."

The answer was a young man of the same age as Yu Shu, with a bright voice and a very good appearance, Yu Shu looked around, and saw a few people who opened their mouths but didn't grab the words, and they didn't push back to Fang Zijing's question, and seemed to be happy to answer.

It's natural to think about it, you must know that this is the Taishi Academy, and no one who can stand here is a straw bag, a child from a family, and no one will lose face with their surname outside.

"That's right, the river map with ten numbers of five directions, five elements, yin and yang, and even the image of heaven and earth, very big, you look at the wall, east and west two sketches, you should know that the white circle is yang, symbolizing the sky above the head, the black dot is yin, symbolizing the ground under your feet, and take out your hexagram plate to compare, first find out the five elements."

In Fang Zijing's words, Yu Shu, like other students, took out the gossip compass and observed it against the black and white dragon horse back map on the wall.

With Fang Zijing's attainments, talking about the river map, citing from the past, even if it is not a Daigo empowerment, it has also benefited Yu Shu, a self-taught scholar who has become a monk halfway.

Situ Qinglan stood beside her grandfather Fang Zijing, refilling him with a cup of tea from time to time to moisten his throat, looking at the young or old Yi teachers listening carefully, her heart was not without pride, she had been enlightened and taught by Fang Zijing since she was eight years old, and she respected her grandfather, who was also a teacher and an elder, more than anyone else.

A morning class lasted for half an hour, and no one felt bored, and when the sunlight outside the window shone at Fang Zijing's feet, he stopped talking, and the students realized that this morning class had passed.

"Qinglan, you go, open the Taihao Dragon Horse Scroll hidden in Tenghuangli, and the auspicious Izumo map hidden by the old man for them to see, after a stick of incense, put it away, you can comprehend a few points, it all depends on their creation."

Fang Zijing instructed Situ Qinglan, then stood up, pulled his sleeves and left in the direction of the entrance hall, everyone bowed to see each other, and then turned around, they saw Situ Qinglan coming over, lit the incense burner on the group, rubbed a stick of incense, and then raised his hand to open a painting covered with cloth on the wall.

Yu Shu first saw a ball of gold in her eyes, and looked at it, but it was an ancient picture of the dragon horse outlined with gold lacquer and silver ink, with dragon heads and dragon claws, neck covered with gold scales, and water under her feet.

I don't know how long later, there was a "ding" sound in her ears, and she woke up from that wonderful concentration, and her mind seemed to be illuminated by the warm spring breeze, and her whole body was warm. After a moment of confusion, and then she came back to her senses, this ancient picture of Longma had been covered.

Her heart moved, and she turned her head sharply to look at another painting, but it was a step too late, Situ Qinglan had already walked to the painting, stretched out her hand and pulled the knot on the wall, and then re-covered the scroll, she only had time to see a red light.

At the same time, a suffocating sigh sounded in the hall one after another, and it seemed that many people were like Yu Shu, who had lost sight of one or the other.

"Senior sister," a new student was unwilling to miss the opportunity, folded his hands, and said to Situ Qinglan flatteringly, "Let's take a few more looks." ”

Situ Qinglan smiled, she didn't glance at the painting on the wall from beginning to end, she shook her head, and said to the young man who asked for it:

"The junior brother doesn't know that these two river maps are the most beneficial at first glance, but occasionally when they look at it again, it is not good for people. If you have a weak mind, you will get hysteria for a few days, and then I will be stupid, and I can't afford it. ”

After speaking, she walked to the incense burner and put down a small copper hammer in her hand.

A group of people were disappointed and disappointed, but they also knew that they couldn't force it, and watched Situ Qinglan carefully take off the two strange paintings and wrap them under his armpits.

"Let's all disperse, the academician will give a lecture in Mozhai in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, everyone remember to arrive early."

Situ Qinglan smiled at Yu Shu and walked out of the door, Yu Shu followed knowingly, and the two walked out of the hall and came to the corridor.

There was no need for Yu Shu to ask, Situ Qinglan, a woman with a delicate heart, told her:

It is said that the drawing is of a Taoist immortal, refining the sixty-four red gold tripods offered by the Sanqing Temple, and hooking a dragon horse on the side of the Yellow River on the Double Ninth Day. Mortals can see this picture, can wash the Lingtai plug, three days without sleep, can also be a hundred times more energetic, fortunate people, but also can pass the nine tricks, the mind is opened. ”

When Yu Shu heard this, although she was surprised, she couldn't help but believe it, after all, she had experienced it herself, and her mind was much clearer than usual at this time. But when it comes to being 100 times more energetic and open-minded, she feels that she is exaggerating.

"Thank you." Unfortunately, she didn't get to see what another strange painting looked like.

"You're welcome, then I'll go upstairs first, and I'll return this picture first." Situ Qinglan stopped at the stairs and said goodbye to Yu Shu.

Yu Shu glanced upstairs along the stairs and wondered, "Is it safe to put such a precious thing here?" Aren't you afraid of thieves? ”

Situ Qinglan smiled and told her ominously: "Upstairs, thieves can't get in." ”

Yu Shu didn't understand what she meant, and secretly said that there was another mystery in this attic, and it was not good to inquire again, so he separated from her and went downstairs by himself

Leaving Tenghuang Building, Yu Shu did not wander elsewhere, and walked all the way to the main entrance of the library, planning to return to the Forgotten Machine Building, taking advantage of this moment to be full of energy, and speed up the sorting out of those case files.

When the carriage parked on the side of the street saw her coming out, it drove over and stopped in front of her, and the curtain was lifted to reveal a figure sitting by the window.

"Ashu."

"Big brother? What are you doing here. When Yu Shu saw Xue Rui, he was obviously a little surprised, he hadn't shown up in Taishi Shuyuan for a few days.

"Come up," Xue Rui urged, raised the letterhead in his hand, his eyes were bright, and he lowered his voice and told her:

"This is the birthday of the new student who entered the Academy's Girls' Academy this year that you asked me to check, now you can't sell it to me anymore, you have to be honest with me to make it clear, what did you find."
