Chapter 99: Wisdom through the Nine Gates
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "If you want to completely visit the nine gates, it is not difficult, there are some disciples below, divided into two gates, white clothes and gray clothes, anyone who wants to visit the nine gates of the village, need to ask a question to the people in white clothes, as long as there is a question that stumps them, the mountain people should personally lead the distinguished guests to visit the nine gates." ”
Yun Fei was a little unimpressed, and said, "What's so difficult about this." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled happily, but his eyes looked at the Tsing Yi doorman, and when he saw him standing there with a blank look, he couldn't help frowning, thinking why didn't he know how to give the order to let the man in white come out? At the moment, I was quite puzzled, I don't know what happened to Xiao Tong today, and now he is so sluggish and casually leaking the matter of Jiumen to others.
He glanced at him a few times, but the boy was still a little confused, and couldn't help shaking his head, and ordered another boy to go and give the order. After a while, five young men in white rushed in behind him, and stood in a row after bowing in the hall, waiting for orders.
After they stood still, Zhuge Liang got up and said: "The white-clothed and gray-clothed disciples under the Shanren Sect are divided according to their intelligence and academic qualifications. They all have names, in order to make it easier for you to identify, for the time being, a number is named, from left to right for one to five marks, they have their own strengths, the white one is good at astronomy, the white two are good at geography, the white three are good at using military formations, the white four are good at historical books, and the white five are good at music and song. As long as the two of them are in the scope of their expertise, they should ask each person to answer the question, and if one of them has a personality that cannot answer, the mountain people will respectfully invite the two Dao Jiumen to visit. ”
This method seems very simple, and it also shows Zhuge Liang's conceit, if they are not very proficient, how dare they be like this. Of course, this is a huge test for Yun Fei and the two, they need to know five disciplines of knowledge at the same time before they can come up with the questions, otherwise they will just be looked down upon by others if they just ask questions randomly, so as not to laugh at them.
Yun Fei looked at Huang Yueying, he wanted to hand over this difficult question to her, but she deliberately pretended not to know, forcing him to search for the knowledge in his heart and prepare for the question. It's really a book to use when you hate less, and I always feel that I am okay on weekdays, but at that time I was swallowing dates and I didn't know it anymore, and I wanted to quote the scriptures at this time, and a lot of knowledge flickered in my head, but I always couldn't catch it, and I couldn't say it, and now it's finally until I don't want to understand the truth that it's better not to read.
He thought for a while, forced a smile, pretended to be relaxed, and said to Bai Wu: "Bai Wu, I am prevalent in the Han Fu, since you are good at music and song, I think you must be more familiar with it, and you can comment on the characteristics and structure of the Han Fu for me." ”
Bai Wu took a step into the mosaic, bent down and said: "The Fu body that prevails in my dynasty is characterized by the combination of scattered rhymes and special narratives, and in terms of structure, there are generally three parts, namely the preface, the text and the end called "chaos" or "news". With the decline of the Han Dynasty, most of the current writing style of the Tao is to be rich and eloquent, and they want to promote the original grand and prosperous scene, and sing praises for the emperor's cultural and martial arts, but unfortunately, they can no longer find anything to praise, only a few strokes at the end, which is extremely ironic......"
Bai Wu said quietly and calmly, when everything was narrated, Yun Fei only had admiration, not to mention the problem of finding fault with him, that is, many of the classic texts he said, Yun Fei knew very little, but he learned a lot from them.
After Bai Wu finished answering, he retreated indifferently, and before Yunfei could choose, Bai Yi had already taken the initiative to stand up and bow to him. Yun Fei looked at him angrily, angry on the surface, but what he thought in his heart was, I haven't finished digesting Bai Wu's words here, but you came first, now it's okay, I haven't thought of anything, what should I do, I can't still ask you how many stars there are in the sky and how many rivers there are on the ground.
Fortunately, his mind was not spinning slowly, and when he blinked, he suddenly remembered a wonderful question, pretended to be secretive, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what shape is the sky?" ”
Of course, this question is simple, but this time he just wants to be surprised, since these guys are not all knowledgeable? I'll just ask some ordinary questions, so that you can justify yourself, you will never tell me that the sky is round, so that you can find many excuses to attack him, such an open question, you can attack, you can retreat, so that he can't help but sigh that his attention is wonderful.
Bai Yi replied respectfully: "Heaven has no shape at all, it is just a void, when you close your eyes, the appearance of the sky is only the shape you imagine, which can be clouds, rain, or the shape of everything in the world; But when you open your eyes, the sky is what you see everywhere you look. ”
Yunfei didn't expect him to answer like this, he originally dug a pit for him, but now he let himself stand on the edge of the pit, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, trying to find some flaws from it, but found that there were many flaws, and there were many statements, those were not problems.
As soon as Bai saw Yunfei standing there without speaking, he immediately bowed and retreated.
Huang Yueying also admired a little at this time, Yun Fei is also a smart person, although he didn't learn any martial arts or other skills in Tao Qian when he was young, he always studied hard, plus he was keen and studious, so his knowledge was always better than these twelve or thirteen-year-old children, who knew that he was defeated by them in just a few words, it can be seen that these white-clothed disciples have learned really solidly, and they are quick to think, and they are not idle.
Huang Yueying had already seen that Yun Fei couldn't cope with it, but she didn't want to reveal her teacher and origin, and prematurely revealed that she was from Zizhuyuan, so Yun Fei, who was still thinking about it, asked in a low voice, "Is this kid right?" ”
Yun Fei reacted at this time, and said hesitantly: "Yes! Isn't that right? Alas, it turned out to leave me speechless. He frowned at her as he spoke, and kept pouting, meaning you hurry up, you can't stand by and watch my jokes all the time, it's not important to visit the nine gates, the key is not to let him be a big man in front of a few children.
He was still squeezing his eyebrows, Bai Er had already taken it over, and after bowing down, he stood quietly waiting for Yun Fei to come up with the question, Yun Fei still remembered that Bai Er was good at geographical forms, so he suppressed his irritable emotions at the moment and began to think about the topic quietly.
