Chapter 16: The Deed Point
Time passed, and the old dean burned the lanterns in the hands of the schoolchildren, and each eyebrow was printed with a little red dansha.
In front of the statue of Confucius with the two lines of "Ten Thousand Masters Table" in the left book and the two lines of the chief character in the right book, the old dean lit incense and then led the group of children to bow three times, so that this simple enlightenment ceremony was completed.
The enlightenment ceremony is concise, without a vigorous scene, but this is the first formal ceremony in life, the scene of carrying lanterns to rush to the night road, waiting in line to light the lamp and light sand, the attention and ardent expectations of parents, and the guidance of the dean?????? All this is deeply imprinted in the hearts of this group of schoolchildren.
After decades of life, there are only 100 things that really make a deep impression, so impressive, and there are very few ceremonies that are both simple and do not cost people and money. Now there are not many festivals left, only the same holidays, cars, eating and drinking, etc., there is nothing to store in the depths of memory, there is no warmth to speak of, it can be described as a pity and a mistake.
It is important to know that some festival customs and traditional etiquette can be held meaningfully, in addition to enriching life, more importantly, it has unexpected benefits to the stability of the whole society!
After the enlightenment ceremony, the children sat down at a table, and the lanterns were placed on the table, waiting for the first lesson of their lives to begin.
The sky has been slightly bright, most of the parents have returned home to work, and the little half of them are still stranded and want to see more. They looked into the room, and their eyes were filled with excited, pious, solemn and yet immature faces under the candlelight, and they sighed in their hearts, is this still the naughty monkeys?
"Today's biennial initiation ceremony, I am very honored to perform the initiation ceremony for all students. Can you understand why we want to be enlightened? Because wisdom, propriety, benevolence and righteousness are the biggest and most fundamental differences between us and animals, and when we are enlightened, it is for us to better enlighten our wisdom and gifts. Can anyone give an example of an animal being rude? ”
The dean began to lecture, this was the first class of this group of students, and he inevitably came to guide him diligently.
"Dogs like to pee under roadside trees." A classmate hurriedly replied, sat on the chair, raised his right leg, and made a dog pee motion on the foot of the table, which immediately attracted laughter from the audience.
After the old dean smiled and raised his hand to signal to stop the performance, he continued: "We can learn more or less in our daily life, but what is the way of the monarch and the minister, the virtue of the husband and the woman, what is the real benevolence and righteousness, what is the difficulty of prospering the country, what are the good things in history, what are the stupid things of stupid people, etc., these are waiting for us to find and experience in the book." If you want to pursue it, you must first be literate. In the first two years, you have learned to read and write 1,000 Chinese characters, which will lay the foundation for your life path. ”
"Now that we have officially started our classes, the first thing we learned was the Thousand Character Essay. This "Thousand Character Text" is compiled by Zhou Xingsi of the Southern Liang Dynasty from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy to select a thousand words, a thousand words are not repeated, four characters and a sentence are a total of 250 sentences, but it can be neat and tidy, the writing is brilliant, and it contains astronomy, geography, history, human ethics, cultivation, etc., it is really breathtaking, and the case is amazing. You have to study hard and experience it with your heart. ”
The dean then used a carbon strip on the wooden board hanging on the wall, and quickly wrote eight words. He pointed to these words and said, "Today we will learn these two sentences and eight characters first, please read them with me, 'Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate'." ”
In the next moment, the eight voices with heavy childish voices resounded in the sky.
After leading the children to familiarize themselves with these two sentences, the old dean explained word by word: "The word heaven is the infinite sky above our heads, and the earth is the land under our feet." The sky brings us sunshine, rain, air, and it also gives us endless space to develop. The earth brings us food and gives us a foothold for survival. This heaven and earth are the most important, and of course they come first. ”
"The word 'Xuan', it has the meaning of mystery, mystery, and also means black, in this sentence it can be understood as, there are many mysteries waiting for us to explore, Xuan is black, that is to say, we have too many unknown places in the sky, and our eyes are black. As for the word 'yellow', it is simple, it is the yellow character of the yellow color that is often said, isn't the land exactly yellow? Although the word is easy to understand, it reminds us all the time that the land is the foundation on which we stand. Do you see that our complexion is not right and yellow? It reminds us that we all come from the land, not to forget the roots, and to be kind to the earth. ”
"In this way, 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang' is the possibility of infinite expansion given to us by God, and its metaphysics is also. The earth is the place where we are conceived, and its color is yellow. The words "Cosmic Desolation" mean ??????"
The class was on, and the parents outside the door and window gradually dispersed a lot.
"Brother Xing, let's go to the teahouse and sit down, and wait until noon to pick up the children from school!" Chen Chao outside the window patted Li Xing, who was listening to the audience, and proposed.
Suddenly, there were bursts of exclamations from the whole ruins, and everyone looked up at the sky, and what caught their eyes was a meteorite crashing into this place from the sky.
The meteorite glided low in front of the eyes, dragging its long tail and crashing into the mountains as far as the eye could see. When the dean heard the sound, he saw a cloud of red and white light shining in the sky from the mountains in the distance, and soon there was a loud thunderous noise, and the ground jumped a few times. The villagers looked at each other, their eyes full of fear.
"I'm afraid this troubled world is even more peaceful, but we can't do anything for this country and this world, so let's do our own thing with our destiny, and do whatever we need to do! Everyone returned to their seats, and we continued the class. ”
When the dean heard that he was reasonable, they discussed and dispersed.
At this moment, although Li Wen's little heart had a slightly strange feeling, he never put it in his heart. What he didn't know was that this meteorite almost caused the most brutal race change in the world. And although he solved this disaster, it indirectly made him pay the biggest, most painful and unwilling price in his life, which is more than 30 years later.
As a result of some more peculiar result, it indirectly led to a vast conquest and bloody slaughter two or three hundred years later, which is beyond the scope of this book.
Unconsciously, the scorching sun was already hanging in the sky, and the passionate reading sound of the children gradually weakened, and some students were still accompanied by weak cooing sounds in their stomachs.
At breakfast time in the three meals a day, when the children were thinking about when the dean would announce the break, a few screams aroused everyone's spirits.
This was due to a woman popping up at the window, with a few new scratches on her sallow face, a few leaves hanging from her stray bun, and a toad in her hand like a chicken's claw. Seeing the toad with bulging cheeks and staring at the curious eyes, several female classmates by the window inevitably let out frightened screams.
The woman was unaware of the suspicious gazes of the crowd, and her eyes roamed the room several times, and then fixed on Li Jiansheng, who was in a panic, and muttered repeatedly: "Son, it's time to eat!" It's time to eat! ”
I see, the children looked at each other and forced a smile on their faces. At this time, a high-pitched strange voice came out: "Hey, that classmate, your mother told you to go home for dinner!" Add food, there is meat! ”
As soon as these words came out, the children couldn't help laughing, causing the room to burst into laughter, mixed with the sound of slapping their legs and hitting the table.
In the midst of wanton laughter, Li Jiansheng suddenly stood up, his face was black and red, and his eyes were tearless and he fled from the door. Seeing Jiansheng's reaction, everyone's laughter suddenly weakened.
Suddenly, with a "bang", Li Wen slapped the clipboard on the table, pointed at a person and angrily reprimanded: "Okay, you Li Shifu, why do you always like to build your happiness on the pain of others?" No wonder I gave you such an inhuman name as 'getting rich'! ”
"Isn't everything I'm telling the truth?" Li Shifu's weak defense sentence sat on the seat and did not squeak again. I don't know if he is ashamed, or because of Li Wen's majestic appearance with two horns, although he is fat and powerful, he has just suffered a big loss from the other party the day before yesterday.
The dean who was in a daze finally reacted at this time, and he raised his voice and said loudly: "Okay, everyone don't make trouble!" You must remember that not celebrating disasters and not rejoicing in disasters is also one of the virtues of being a human being, and do not easily let your soul be covered with dust. ”
He looked at Li Wenhou with approving eyes and said, "That classmate Li, you are responsible for getting back the classmate who left the hospital." ”
Then the dean announced in a loud voice: "End of class, rest!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the room erupted into a louder voice, only to change from laughter to cheers. The students all moved, and three or five people gathered together and took out their belongings to prepare for a full stomach.
"You are not allowed to go out of the academy and return to your seat when you hear the bell ringing." The dean, who was about to step out of the door, did not forget to turn around and admonish.
"Well, your cooking is so delicious!"
"You also brought boiled eggs? Will you give me one? ”
"It's okay, but you can also give me a taro."
??????
The students gathered together for dinner in groups of three or five, and their little hearts had long forgotten the scene just now, and they came and went quickly.
"That stupid man is really stupid, with those two horns in front of everyone, doesn't he feel a little embarrassed?" Chen Fenglan looked at Li Wen, who disappeared at the gate of the courtyard with two dining utensils, and thought secretly.
If you can see the score of people's hearts, Li Wenke can see that his score in Fenglana has increased by a few points for the first time just now. But I'm afraid he won't be happy because of this, firstly, the total score is still a big part there, and secondly, because he often feels the contempt of the other party, he has a little rejection of this marriage.
After the crisp and loud sound of "dang, dang, dang", the dean walked into the teaching room. He couldn't help but nod his head with a little relief when he saw the group of children waiting for class in a regular manner. As for the existence of two vacant seats, it was an accident, it was not a boredom of skipping class, so let him go.
"In the last class, I taught you to familiarize yourself with the two sentences of 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, the Universe is desolate', and I also explained to you in detail word by word. Then in this section, I will teach you to write the four words 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang'. You take out your little board and carbon strip and write it with me. ”
It's the second class, and the dean didn't say any more encouraging words, but started teaching as soon as he came up, after all, even if he said a lot of good things, he would hear the cocoon in his ears, and the effect would be better at the right time.
As soon as the dean's words fell, Li Wen, who was covered with beads of sweat, hurriedly walked into the room, looking dejected and alone, and knew that his mission had failed. The dean didn't ask much, and when he was seated, he resumed the lecture.
"Let's take a closer look, the first stroke of the word 'day' is a horizontal, and the second stroke is." As the dean spoke, he wrote and brushed a few strokes, so that he could write a big word on the snow-white wall with a charcoal pen.
He turned to face his classmates, pointed to the words on the wall and said, "This is a heavenly character, the first word in the thousand-character text." Did you know that the words in the thousand-character text are mostly used by people in everyday life to sort and number things? For example, in the royal library, rows of bookshelves are marked by the order of heaven, earth, Xuan, and yellow. Similarly, if you are guilty of treason, then you must be the No. 1 wanted criminal of the Criminal Department, and if you are a murderer and arsonist, you may be the No. 2 wanted criminal of the Dizi. ”
The old dean has been immersed in teaching and educating people for decades, and the lectures are not covered, and some small things are appropriately made up in the main class, so that the students can listen to them with relish, so that they can expand their knowledge, and they will not feel that learning is a boring thing.
The first lesson of the children's life was still very attentive. It's just that in the whole room, there is one person who is different from ordinary people. This person was Li Wen, and he had not listened for long, although he was still sitting there quietly and listening, but his mind had already wandered to other places.
Just now, during the recess, in order to find Li Jiansheng, Li Wen trotted all the way and ran all over the front and back of the ruins, left, right, and right. Now sitting on the chair for a while, the feeling of exhaustion is transmitted from the lower limbs. Thinking of yesterday's conversation with his father, Li Wen settled his mind to feel the sensation coming from his body.
After settling down, Li Wen found that it was different from the feeling of touching objects, which seemed to be transmitted from within the body. The sense of touch is that the heavier the touch, the more obvious it is, and the more you pay attention to it, the more obvious it is.
Although Li Wen's eyes were fixed on the wallboard, his mind was already on the physical sensation. He felt the feeling and fell into his mind, deaf to the outside world, and immersed himself in his own feelings.
The feeling of fatigue will be like this! Hey! This muscle is the largest but the most painful, and there is a little sour feeling at the top of it, why is there a sour feeling???????
No one knew that the meteorite that had just fallen almost caused a miracle in the world, and even Li Wen, who solved the disaster decades later, only had a vague guess before he temporarily put everything down to solve it, let alone the world.
Is there a providence in the dark? Most of Li Wen's achievements in his future life were the first small steps he took at this moment, and to be precise, he found an extremely important and crucial point.
Li Wengang touched the corner of the 'door', and now he inadvertently got the contract point, and with the contract point, there is a force point, and since then he has set sail for a legendary life.
In the world, there are many people with extraordinary talent and superhuman luck, but most of them are only one line better than ordinary people. Because they didn't find their own point, they worked hard to slowly squeeze from this point to a higher state of life.
Everyone's contract point is different, and it is often possible to meet but not to seek. Sometimes a word, an event, a person, a book, a relationship, or a life and death will trigger a person's life point.
However, some people come into contact with this point that can improve the height of life, but often do not work hard enough, coupled with ignorance, and easily retreat when encountering difficulties, and fall into the ordinary, so some human qualities are also extremely important for achievement.
