Chapter 9: Soil Mounds

The turtle slowly climbed into the gate of the mound, and Murdatsu saw three gates in front of him, leading to three courtyards. The plaques on the doors read "Heaven", "Earth", and "Man".

Modi asked him

"Brother Murda, which one do you want to start cultivating with first? I have finished my cultivation from the soil hills, and I can no longer enter the gate of heaven, earth and man. Brother Moda, take care, Mo Di believes that you will be able to do it. ”

Murda turned back and gave a very determined expression, and then parted ways with Murdi.

The most urgent thing for Mo Da is to quickly master the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty, and it is best to be able to understand all the characters in the world. So he said 'noodle sauce' and drove the well turtle into the herringbone door.

There are six halls in the courtyard, and the plaques are written respectively on the ceremony, music, book, count, control, and shooting. The two halls of ritual and music are next to each other, the two halls of books and numbers are next to each other, and the two halls of royal and archery are next to each other.

Moda thought that this book must refer to words, so he drove the well turtle to the hall of the word "book".

Presumably, the time to start the cultivation had passed, and the main hall was already full of people wearing the costumes of a lone bamboo disciple. There were men and women, the youngest seemed to be only 5 or 6 years old, and the older was nearly 50 years old. When everyone saw someone coming in, they all looked back at the door, and saw a slow turtle dragging a lame man, which caused everyone to laugh.

"Silence, silence! Something that doesn't have rules! ”

Mo Da saw that the man who spoke was holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. He is pale, expressionless, and has a goatee under his chin. When everyone saw that this man was angry, they all held back their laughter and looked at Murda.

Moda was a little embarrassed and busy: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm late, my legs and feet are not good, and my mount is a little sluggish, so I missed some time." ”

"Don't talk about useless things. If it's late, it's too late, and it's certain to be punished. I am Du Ji, a scholar and a guide, and I will be called Du Daoxiu in the future. ”

"Yes, Du Daoxiu. The disciple is willing to be punished. ”

"Whoever is willing or unwilling, he will be punished. Go, over there first look at Da Qin Xiao Seal to recognize the words, remember the glyphs, come back, I will test you 100 words, dare to make 10 mistakes and punish you for lunch! If you can't memorize 300 words in the morning, don't eat! Go! ”

Mo Da felt that this Du Dao Xiu was very strict and unpleasant. I thought it was the first time I came, and I was late, so it was no wonder that people were angry. So he drove the well turtle to the back hall in the direction of Du Ji's finger.

"Oh my god!"

Murda was stunned, the three walls of the back hall were full of bookcases, each of which was three people high. That's how many words you need to know! Murda took a closer look at the shelves, each with the words it contained in script at the bottom. From the ancient stone drum inscriptions, to the golden oracle bone inscriptions of the Xia and Shang periods, from the large seals and ancient scripts of the Six Kingdoms used by the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the small seals used by the Qin Dynasty to unify the world's writing and the official scripts used by the people. There are also many foreign scripts and original scripts created by each family when a hundred schools of thought contended, and there are even some runes dedicated to the alchemy of warlocks. It's really the world's words, and there is everything.

Murda's heart is surging! At the same time, it is stressful. So many words to recognize when. He came to the small seal cabinet and took out the bamboo slips one by one and lined them up neatly on the ground, densely packed with more than 200 bamboo slips. There are thousands of words of dense text on it. If you look closely, every word is obscure. If you don't know how to read, you won't be given food, this Du Daoxiu simply wants to starve me to death.

At this time, Moda remembered the painting memories taught by the master last night, why not use it now!

Moda first recited the mantra to turn the words into images, and then put herself into meditation according to the method of "memory" of drawing memories. These thousands of words formed a small dragon, and the dragon danced wildly into Moda's already meditative brain.

That's it, make a picture, draw a memory, make a picture, draw a memory.......

In just five or six minutes, these thousands of Great Qin and Small Seal characters have been mastered! Murda couldn't help but feel the wisdom and creativity of the ancients, and this painting memory is even better than a computer. It is no wonder that Confucius read a wide range of books, and originally relied on this method of painting and recalling.

It's still early, so I just flip through the classics in this back hall. Although I don't know the meaning of the word, I will write down the glyph first. Moda flipped through the bookcases one by one, and then drew memories. Later, it was too high to reach, so I smashed it down with a low bamboo slip to see. The painting is more and more pure, and it only took two hours to memorize all the bookcases. Murda let out a long breath and one word:

Refreshing!

At this time, Moda had been buried in the bamboo slips, and he couldn't see the situation outside the bamboo slips at all. He didn't know that there was already a large group of people in the back hall of the road. It turned out that the disciples in the front hall heard the crackling of the back hall, and thought that Moda couldn't carry it and went crazy and wanted to demolish the back hall. I saw Du Ji squeezing in from outside the crowd, staring at Moda with puzzled eyes, and reprimanded loudly

"You kid, you don't obediently read and write, but you demolished the back hall, are you going to destroy these ancient books!?"

"Don't dare, Du Daoxiu, Moda doesn't dare. I'm memorizing, but it's too difficult, and I want to find a simple first recognition, so it's all messed up. I'm sorry to disturb everyone. ”

"You still pick fat and thin, no matter how difficult or easy, you have to be down-to-earth. If you don't have that talent, don't think about quick success. You think you're mine. ”

Speaking of this, Du Ji looked proud

"Our Du Daoxiu was the first person to write shorthand on this hill back then, except for the master and uncle, there is no third one who can compare with Du Daoxiu's memory!"

Someone on the side chimed in, and Du Ji became even more proud after hearing it.

"Well, it's all in the past. You know it, forget it, and take it out. But Murda, how much do you memorize? Be careful that you don't have to eat lunch. ”

"Guide, I can't do it, it's far from it. Not to mention you, I can't even compare to you. Allow me a little longer, and please come back first, I won't disturb your practice quietly. ”

Murda didn't want to come out, so he said modestly.

"Forget it, I won't be difficult for you, give you another half an hour, I can't recognize a hundred words, I won't even give you the next meal."

Du Ji was triumphant.

"Guide, aren't you embarrassed? Look at him like that, with a beard and a pair of lame legs, I don't think you can recite the hundred words you gave him for ten days. ”

A man next to him said. The man's face looked like a shovel, and his chin and forehead protruded sharply.

"Mao Qiuci, don't underestimate this kid, I heard that he has a big life, and he can come back to life after dozens of deaths. Master, his old man didn't know what was wrong, not to mention saving his life, and giving him the surname Mo. I'd like to see what he has. ”

Du Ji said coldly.

"Murda, I've already given you time, I'll ask you now."

Moda wanted to let it go again, but it was a little annoying to hear them say this. Lao Tzu has already let you, you still have to inch in. Such a tutorial is also not worthy of respect. Face is to give to those who have face, and those who have no face should tear off their ugly face.

"Okay, how do you take the tutorial exam?"

Du Ji couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw Moda fighting, thinking that the agitation method was effective, and another foreign-looking person could make him humiliate him in public.

"Let me ask you, how to write the seventh character on the third bamboo slip in the fifth row of the small seal cabinet?"

Everyone was worried about Murda. Who can remember such a question. It seems that in addition to making things difficult for Moda Du Ji, he must know the answer, and he wants to show his memory ability in public.

Moda took out a pen and wrote the word 'Qin' on the floor tiles. Someone quickly found this bamboo slip to confirm, and it was really good! It's a 'Qin' character. Everyone was amazed, this Moda actually wrote down the small seal characters of Daqin in two hours.

Du Ji bit his lip and asked again: "The third word of the seventeenth and five simple pieces in the third row, the third cross of the twenty-first simple film in the eighth row, and the fifth cross of the eleventh row of nine simple films,......"

Du Ji said thirty words in a row, and Mo Da wrote them down one by one, and the score was exactly right.

Du Ji was sweating, and his pale face was blue with anger. I thought that there was such a strange thing in the world, obviously the master said that Moda would not know anything, how could he have such a skill today. It's on a par with himself. He shouted

"Murda, you can't cheat! Do you dare to compete with me? You say 500 words for me to memorize, and I'll say 500 for you to memorize. See who's right and who's wrong! Luckily?! ”

"Guide, I'm done, just spare me. How can I compare with you when I first entered the book, don't kill me. ”

Murda was eager to end the confrontation.

"Could it be that you are cowardly?" Du Ji asked.

"Yes, I think you're going to lose. Don't dare to fight, simply don't call Mo Da, but call Mo (Mo) dare to count. ”

That Mao Qiuzi followed.

Mo Da looked at Du Ji, as a guide, he didn't mean to stop Mao Qiuci. Meda was completely enraged.

"Okay, you go first."

"What a guts, no one has challenged me since I stayed in Shuyang. You are the last, you come first. ”

Murdalian said five hundred positions. This Du Ji really has a good memory, and he actually answered the right questions, all of which are correct.

This time it was Murda's turn. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's not compare." ”

"What, you're scared? If you're afraid, just say it? Our Du Ye can still give you a face. Mao Qiu said

"It's not that I'm afraid, but I think it's boring to only look in this small seal cabinet, so let's expand the scope and pick five hundred positions in this back hall at random, not limited to the type of text."

After listening to Murda's speech, the audience was in an uproar.

I haven't heard of anyone who dares to have such a memory, and if you pick five hundred words on all the bookshelves, the gods will be frightened. Du Ji was also nervous, didn't this kid say big things. It's impossible, I just came to the morning and wanted to memorize all the words, and I was a fool to talk about dreams. It's definitely bluffing.

"Okay, I'll make you look like this! If I lose, I'll be your mount. ”

Murda is funny, you are the king!

Du Ji said five hundred positions in a row, which was not a problem for Moda at all. Painting memories early in his mind made him remember all the words in the room. After the answers, everyone was dumbfounded.

Moda asked Mao Qiuzi beside him

"Brother Qiuci, can you tell me what these five hundred words mean?"

Mao Qiuci stared at his eyes and opened his mouth, not knowing how to deal with it.

"Brother Qiuci, what is the meaning of these 500 words that the guide said, I hope to teach you."

Murda asked respectfully.

Mao Qiuci was not easy to excuse in front of everyone, so he had to explain it to Mo Da one by one. Moda knew it in his heart, and said when he returned to look at Du Ji, who didn't know how to be good.

"Guide, you don't have to take it seriously, we were just joking. You are knowledgeable, and I am just an axe. We're tied. ”

Du Ji gritted his teeth and said hatefully

"I said that I would honor you as a mount, when will I call you to listen to the honor."

After saying that, you have to lie down. Murda hurriedly helped him up and said

"Don't. Don't. ”

"Okay, Murda, listen. You don't want it, it's not that I don't give you this mount. Do you have the courage to come again?! You and I have to be superior! Now that you have mastered all the words of the book, you have finished it. I've never been out of the books since I came to Shouyang Mountain. Today, I am resigning from my position as a tutor in the soil and am now going with you to practice in other soil hills and be classmates with you. Let's see who's higher and who's lower! ”

Moda sighed and said, "Du Daoxiu, why are you so persistent. If you have great talent, you should stay in Shuyang Educator Brothers. I'll go. ”

Murda drove the well turtle away from the book soil. Before leaving, he handed Du Ji a bamboo slip with the location of eleven stone drum characters.

Later, there was a lonely bamboo man named Luo Guanzhong, who found this bamboo slip, and he found these words:

If you are born and you are born, you will not die if you don't die.
