Chapter 145: A Small Note
Yi Xingchen said: "It is a good thing to keep your ears open to the outside of the window and only read the books of the sages, but this is your problem." - You're so focused on the book that you're neglecting the surroundings. You must know that the imperial examination will be an official in the future, if you only know the things of books, but not the way of being an official, you don't know how to observe the people's feelings, and you don't know how to observe the people's well-being and suffering, how can you be a good official? Therefore, after you focus too much on books and ignore the things around you, God thinks that you may not be suitable for a career in office, so you have not been able to pass the test. If you can properly look up from the focus on the book and look at the situation around you, no matter what it is, understand it, pay more attention, pay more attention to the things around you, so that your horizons will be broadened, your mind will be improved, and you will have the basic requirements of being an official, God may let you pass, be able to enter the official career, and benefit the people. Do you understand what I mean? ”
Of course, Yi Xingchen's pass was crooked, but when he said it as a half-immortal, Yan Hongzhi listened to it in his ears, and he really stayed on the spot as if he had been empowered. Half a sound, slapped his thigh, and said, "I see!" Thank you for your advice. In the future, I must not bury my head in hard study, but always pay attention to my surroundings and care about the weal and woe of others, so that I can be appreciated by God and eventually gain fame and embark on a career in office. -- I've really read the book in vain for so many years, and I haven't figured out such a simple truth, thank you, thank you for your advice. ”
Yi Xingchen said: "In addition to caring about your surroundings, you must also care about your family. There's another kid down there, and the family is all up to you. But you are so focused on your studies that you fail to take care of your family. You see that Ling Yan's noodles have dishes, and at first glance, she hasn't had a good life. If a man can't support his parents and let his parents live a good life, but he can't raise his children and let his children starve, even if a person like you becomes an official after the imperial examination, if you can't even take care of your family. How can you take care of the people under your rule? If you want to be an official in the future, you will be a parent official, and as a parent, thousands of people can all expect you to take them to live a good life, but you can't even take care of your own home, how can you take care of the people of a state and a county? If you can't even take care of your family, how can God give you the opportunity to take care of so many people? Have you thought about any of this? ”
Hearing Yi Xingchen's words, Yan Hongzhi was in a cold sweat. kept wiping, ashamed and ashamed: "Yes, although I used to have such worries, but. But no one has ever woken me up like this, thanks to the patience of the half-immortals, if I can't let my parents and children live a normal life. How can I take care of the people who will be rulers in the future? No wonder God has never let me pass the imperial examination, that is, he will not let me go to the scourge of the people! Wrong! Wrong! I was completely wrong from start to finish. I know. Thanks a half-immortal. In the future, I will take care of my family first and then think about other things. This is the first thing a man should do. Only take care of your family. in order to take care of the world. It's really better to listen to your words, than to read a book for ten years, thank you! ”
Yi Xingchen did this just to let him help him pay attention to the things in the Taoist temple, and seeing that he had been fooled, he smiled, and really comforted him a few words, and then watched him leave.
In the following days, the old boy Yan Hongzhi went to the Taoist temple every morning to copy things, and left in the evening. Earning 30 yuan a day, he was able to buy some food and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar when he got home, his parents also had smiles on their faces, their children also laughed, and he also felt the warmth of the family in his heart. Thinking that Yi Xingchen's guidance was indeed a word to wake up the dreamer, his heart was full of gratitude to Yi Xingchen.
Of course, his heart was still concerned about the upcoming academician exam. Winning fame is his lifelong pursuit, and if he can't take this step, he will never live in peace for the rest of his life. However, Yi Xingchen's words are very reasonable, and he must resolutely implement them. This time, he bet on this, and listened to this half-immortal, he made up his mind. So although I was very apprehensive in my heart, I still went to the Taoist temple every day to copy those two sentences, and wrote thousands of them.
In the evening of that day, he left the Taoist temple and came to Yi Xingchen's hexagram stall.
Yi Xingchen had to wait for him to come out every time, and after he spoke, he would go back to the stall, of course, to find out if he had made any discoveries.
Seeing him come out, the two exchanged a few words, Yi Xingchen asked casually: "How is it, is there anything new in the Taoist temple today?" ”
This is what Yi Xingchen wants to know the most.
After Yan Hongzhi heard Yi Xingchen let him pay attention to the surrounding things, he paid attention to it, and when he heard this, of course he had something to say, and said at the moment: "Today I heard the Taoist say that tomorrow I will find all the children who are flowing all over the city, and no one will give them two cents, let them take the things I copied, paste them on the doors of every house in the city, and distribute them to the pedestrians in the city, but I don't know what they are for." ”
Yi Xingchen was taken aback: "Sticking it on the door of every house in the city? And to pedestrians? ”
He suddenly remembered the sentence of the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and he is lucky in the world." That is a signal of rebellion, could it be that the Heavenly Tribulation Sect wants to rebel?
Not quite like that, I didn't see them prepared for anything. And these few sentences do not mean to call on people to revolt. It seems to remind everyone that there is a natural disaster that is coming soon, and only by believing in their Heavenly Tribulation Sect can they survive the Heavenly Tribulation, is this so-called disaster the so-called Heavenly Fire?
Will there really be flames falling from the sky? It's incredible.
Yan Hongzhi said: "My copying affairs in the Taoist temple have been completed, and I won't use it tomorrow, I don't know what I should do next?" ”
"You first find a way to earn some money to take care of your family, and then, you come to me again, and I will calculate for you what to do next?" Yi Xingchen didn't have the heart to give him guidance at the moment, he was wondering what this Immortal Pavilion View was going to do? So my eyes have been staring at the door of the Taoist temple.
In the past two days, the number of people who have entered the Taoist temple has increased significantly, and when they come out, they all have happy faces, and they don't know what they are doing?
Yan Hongzhi said: "The Taoists in this Taoist temple are the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, and I heard them preach the teachings of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, which is a bit interesting to listen to. A lot of people are listening. ”
Yi Xingchen just snorted. His mind was still on the fire of the day, not paying attention to what he said. Yan Hongzhi saw that Yi Xingchen was thinking about something. He didn't dare to disturb, so he got up and gave his hand. Then, step left.
Yi Xingchen thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, so he had to shake his head and observe it again.
The next morning, Yi Xingchen came to set up a stall in front of the Taoist temple as usual, but of course no one came to him to tell the fortunes. And he didn't see the old boy Yan Hongzhi who went to the Taoist temple every day to copy things. I didn't think it was a little strange, but after thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me, as if the old boy had told him yesterday that he had finished copying things in it. I don't have to come back today, and I didn't care if I was wandering at the time.
I remember that he seemed to be saying that the Heavenly Tribulation Sect was preaching morality inside, which was not uncommon. Because when Yi Xingchen entered the Taoist Temple a few times ago, he also saw the Taoist people preaching scriptures inside, and what they were talking about was actually the set of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, at present, the Heavenly Tribulation Sect was not banned by the imperial court, so. Carrying out doctrinal preaching is a normal thing to do, and it is not worth making a fuss.
Yi Xingchen recalled that the increasing number of sect members these days had come to listen to their preaching of morality, which was related to the previous incident, and Yi Xingchen felt that something was about to happen. So he decided to go to the Taoist temple to find out the situation.
Yi Xingchen stepped into the Taoist temple, and the Taoist temple was really full of people, in the lobby. It was full of congregation, and some people stood on either side and listened excitedly. Sitting in the pulpit, an old sermon is preaching the end of the world. Yi Xingchen listened for a while. Compared with the novels and film and television dramas about the end of the world that he saw in the current society, although the degree of creativity is not enough. But language is incitative. For the ancient people who did not have access to information with multimedia, such eloquence was enough to provoke their terror and desire to be sheltered, so they looked at the old way with fear and surprise in their eyes, as if they were looking at the last straw.
Yi Xingchen exited the lobby and walked around the temple. I saw a small courtyard behind me, the door was hidden, and people came in and out from time to time, basically except for Taoists, some people dressed as Jianghu guests.
He looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he pushed open the door and peeked in. I was startled at this sight, and I saw dozens of people sitting or standing in the courtyard, talking. The clothes are obviously people who walk the rivers and lakes, and many of them have blades, and when they hear the door, they immediately turn back. Seeing Yi Xingchen, he showed a vigilant expression.
Yi Xingchen didn't expect so many of you, he was startled, and was about to withdraw, but someone behind him pushed him behind him, staggered in, and then stabilized his figure, turned around, and saw two old Taoists, glaring at himself.
Yi Xingchen said curtly: "I'm sorry, I went wrong, I went to the front to listen to the sermon." Hey, hey, hey, sorry. Yi Xingchen said, don't want to bypass them and go out, but two Taoists blocked the door and didn't mean to get out of the way, one of the fat Taoists said: "You kid sneakily set up a stall at the door of our Taoist temple, but didn't give people fortune telling, what do you want to do for a few days?" What are you from? Who sent you? ”
Yi Xingchen was taken aback, it turned out that the other party had already noticed him, and he couldn't help but regret it a little. Why didn't you count the previous hexagram when you came in just now? However, generally speaking, if there is a big calamity, the bad result will be through some visions, such as owls, snakes, and so on, to warn themselves, so that they can calculate good fortune and evil. And this time there is no sign of it, and from this point of view, there should be no problem entering the Taoist temple this time. Unexpectedly, it was discovered. However, since there was no vision, it meant that even if something happened, there would be no great danger, so Yi Xingchen was very sure in his heart. (To be continued......)
