In the middle of summer, Chenjiawu, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, is refreshing and pleasant, and even if it is a dog day, there is no feeling of scorching heat.

In addition to the days of wind and rain, Chen Caozhi has to climb Jiuyao Mountain every morning and dusk, blowing xiao and looking far away, his mind is slim, and the Mingsheng Lake not far away is like a huge natural jade inlaid in the land of Qiantang Dynasty, close to the bottom of the eye and far away in the sky, frank and clear and cloudy, like a peerless beauty like a clear water out of hibiscus, light gauze covers the body, and the stunning posture can only be viewed from a distance and can not be blasphemed——

Chen Caozhi is a little strange that his association with West Lake is just a beautiful lake, why do you feel this way?

It is Laide and Ran Sheng who go up the mountain with Chen Cao every day, and there are two of them wherever there is Chen Caozhi.

Chen's mother Li's dizziness has been cured, and she once asked Chen Caozhi to accompany her to Baobao Mountain to thank the old immortal.

Because Ge Hong came forward, as soon as Wang De promised that as long as he was in the position of the Qiantang County Commander, he would continue to let the Qiantang Chen family have a shady household, unless the state and county wanted to carry out a major inspection, which was another matter.

Laifu's family cried with joy, although Wang County's order may be transferred to other counties next year, but at least in the next year, their family will no longer have to worry about living in fear, and Laifu firmly believes that Cao Xiaolangjun will definitely become a high-quality official, and can enjoy the right to shade in a dignified place, and his Laifu family will live in Chenjiawu all the time.

Every morning, Chen Caozhi recites the "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Zuo Chuan" these Confucian classics, "Analects" he has memorized like a stream, no need to read again, Confucian master Ma Rong and metaphysical genius Wang Bi on the "Analects" of the commentary and play he is also familiar with the heart, last time he asked his sister-in-law Ding Youwei Wang Bi about the subtle relationship between "Tao" and "nothing", "sex" and "body", although Ding Youwei is smart, but short of argumentation, it is difficult to be a small teacher, now Chen Caozhi has the guidance of Ge Hong, a scholar who has entered Taoism from Confucianism, these are easy to solve, The myriad threads boil down to one point, that is, the realm of the sage proposed by Wang Bi in the "Analects of Doubts" - "affectionate but not tired".

"Affectionate but not tired", this is the sentence, the affectionate, free and natural Wei and Jin demeanor is outstanding, and the foundation of Wei and Jin metaphysics is fixed.

In addition to learning Confucianism in the morning, Chen Caozhi also has to practice calligraphy for half an hour, for his brother Chen Qingzhi tossed and turned to copy the rather distorted "Declaration Table" sticker, Chen Caozhi is no longer copying, he is now taking Huan Yi's scroll of the cave flute secret book as the object of speculation, combined with the previous life to copy the "Lanting Collection Preface", I feel that the left hand regular script has made a lot of progress, as for the right hand line, Chen Caozhi is still copying Ouyang Xun's "Zhang Hansi Perch Sticker" by memory——

"Zhang Han Si Perch Sticker" is Ouyang Xun for the Western Jin Dynasty celebrity Zhang Han Zhang Jiying wrote a small biography, Zhang Han is talented, indulgent and broad, the people of the time compared to the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" Ruan, called "Jiangdong Infantry", Zhang Ji in Luoyang as an official, because of the autumn wind, is the hometown of Wu County's garden vegetable soup and perch, sighed: "Life is expensive, how can you detain thousands of miles to invite the famous man?" "And he drove his fate—

Although Ouyang Xun is hundreds of years later than the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but this word paste is very Jin style, and the meaning of the post complements each other, only ten lines, less than 100 words, the Wei and Jin Dynasty people's unique kind of both transcendent and affectionate style jumped on the paper, later generations will Ouyang Xun's "Zhang Han Si Perch Sticker" is known as the seventh line of the book, but for Chen Caozhi, the love of this post is second only to Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface", he has seen a lot of skill in his previous life, and the soul is more diligent every day in this life, but more than two months have passed, but it has grown very little, Because there is no original post to compare, sometimes I feel that my right hand is getting worse and worse.

Chen Caozhi is not in a hurry, he has an experience of this, just like Go, before the long chess, there will be a period of time to see who loses and whom, and the chess situation is embarrassing, but after this time, one day he will suddenly find that his chess strength has grown, and those opponents who are at the same level as him before have been cut down one by one; It's like climbing a dangerous peak on foot, the mountain road is steep, the backpack is heavy, and I sweat profusely on the peak, and suddenly look back, thousands of peaks arch in columns, magnificent and picturesque-

What is needed is just hard work and persistence.

Every afternoon, in addition to half an hour of calligraphy practice, Chen Caozhi mainly studied Wang Bi's "Zhou Yi Note" and "Lao Tzu Instructions", as well as Guo Xiang's "Zhuangzi Note" borrowed from Ge Hong.

And at night, Chen Caozhi is copying books, the book is borrowed from Ge Hong, the best Zuo Bo paper copied one volume after another, if it is a poor child, the money to buy paper can not afford to pay, Chen Caozhi copied the book with a line, fast and good, after each volume, he personally used silk thread and sharp diamond to bind a stack of paper full of ink characters into the appearance of later books, this is the collection of Qian Tang Chen's books, Zong Zhi and Run'er no longer have to worry about no books to read in the future.

When Chen Caozhi was binding books, Xiaochan and Qingzhi were helping on the side, and the two maids praised Xiaolangjun for his ingenuity and neatness in everything.

Every four days, Chen Caozhi took Laifu and Ran Sheng, walked 20 miles to Ge Lingchu's balcony, asked Ge Hong about the difficulty of reading, and returned the book borrowed the day before to borrow another one.

Ding Youwei once said that being Chen Caozhi's teacher is a happy thing, and Ge Hong is also like this, the questions in the book asked by Chen Caozhi are not general questions, and everyone like Ge Hong needs to be energetic to answer, which is naturally happy for Ge Hong, who has spent his whole life seeking knowledge and seeking Taoism, and has a feeling of being refreshed, and Chen Caozhi, as a student, is a little thorough, and the small buckle is loud, so that Ge Hong, as a teacher, also feels benefited.

One afternoon in mid-June, Ge Hong and Chen Caozhi sat under the window of Xiaoxuan on the edge of the Sanqing Palace, after some debate, Ge Hong greatly cherished his talents, and said: "it, with your hard work, it is not difficult to penetrate the two universities of Confucianism and Xuan, but you are from a humble background, this is a fateful thing, you want to govern the country and the world with your own knowledge, but you are afraid of thorns and great resistance, and the high-ranking positions are controlled by the family, how to seek government if you are not in your position?" According to the old way, you might as well simply abandon the idea of worldly fame, follow me to refine the Dan and cultivate the Tao, write books and say, the famous mountain of Tibet, passed on to future generations, is also an immortal thing, the sage has a cloud 'the upper is virtuous, the middle is virtuous, the lower is meritorious', the worldly merit is the most inferior, and the book is immortal, then virtue is also in it - why do you do it? ”

Chen Caozhi still clearly remembers the scene that happened in front of the gate of Chenjiawu a month ago, those two unqualified officials dared to bully the door, and the manipulation behind them was just a nine-grade master book, so it is really impossible not to pursue fame and power in this world, how can he ignore the crisis of the family, just want to be alone, get rid of his high and follow Ge Hong to cultivate? Slowly, he doesn't believe in cultivating immortals, even if there are immortals, then it has to be "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven".

Chen Caozhi did not answer Ge Hong's earnest question directly, but asked with a smile: "Cao Zhi has been under Master Ge for many days and has benefited a lot, isn't he still a disciple of Master Ge?" ”

Ge Hong flicked his tail, laughed, understood Chen Caozhi's intentions, and said: "Confucianism believes in life, Taoism changes life, since Cao Zhi is my disciple, he must be going to change his life, let me see how you, a poor disciple, can change your life?" ”

……

On the next five days, Chen Caozhi went to the first balcony Taoist courtyard again, and brought the gift of apprenticeship, which was regarded as officially worshipping Ge Hong as a teacher, of course, apprenticeship is not equivalent to following Ge Hong into the mountain to cultivate, and Ge Hong did not ask Chen Caozhi to read the Taoist scriptures.

On the way back, the silent Jing Nu suddenly knelt in front of Chen Caozhi, kowtowed and asked Chen Caozhi to teach Ran Sheng to read and write in his spare time, but the young Ran Sheng was stunned and at a loss.

Chen Caozhi helped Jing Nu up and said: "Uncle Jing, the sage Yun 'has no class', as long as Ran Sheng is willing to learn, I will teach him." ”

Ran Sheng shouted: "Uncle Jing, I don't learn to read, in my opinion, all words are the same, I can't distinguish them." ”

Jing Nu knelt down at Ran Sheng again, Ran Sheng had to agree to learn literacy, and muttered in a low voice: "Soon it will be July Registration, we are stateless refugees, and we have to run away again, what kind of literacy do we have to learn!" ”
