The shopkeeper Zhen walked back to Jixiang Restaurant, it was lunch time, and it was bound to be full of customers at this time on weekdays, but now there are only two tables of people in the huge lobby, and there is no one who reads, let alone those wearing children's robes or even Xiucai robes.

It's only been a day.

At this time, a guy hurriedly came and said anxiously: "Shopkeeper, no, Master Su has already spoken, no one from the Su family is allowed to come to our store to eat, and the Su family's industry is not allowed to have dealings with us, and the other two families are also doing it, you can think of a way." I heard a friend from the county government say that today's Cai County Order also spoke, and the county government will no longer choose our auspicious restaurant to receive guests in the future. In that case, the officials and their relatives would not come. ”

Shopkeeper Zhen looked at the empty lobby blankly, stayed for a long time, sat on the threshold and cried.

"I shouldn't look down on people......"

Different from the usual lunch, the Fang family's lunch today has meat and vegetables, and Yang Yuhuan is no longer reluctant to eat, but eats whatever he wants with Fang Yun.

Yang Yuhuan talked about some trivial things while eating, such as someone came to give gifts, and several big families sent invitations to invite Fang Yun to attend the dinner.

After the meal, Fang Yun wrote some brief letters to reply to those who invited him, first he was grateful and so on, and then he said that he wanted to go to Cai County Lingjia to learn the scriptures and look at Haihan.

Take a nap, recuperate, and then grind ink and paper.

"The holy path of Confucianism is long and arduous, and we must move forward step by step. Even if I have a world of strange books, I need to work hard, or in other words, in order to live up to the world of strange books, I should work harder!"

"The first thing is to practice calligraphy, as a literati, words are very important, in the Shengyuan Continent, a good character is more important than a good face. ”

"Second, I must memorize and understand the scriptures of all saints, and the world of strange books can help me understand all things, but it cannot make me omnipotent. On paper, I finally feel shallow, this strange book world is my step, not my key to open the holy way! The key to the holy way is only myself! If everything depends on the strange book world, I will never be able to step out of my own holy way, and I will never be able to be canonized!"

"Thirdly, I have to read the weekly issue of Wenbao, which reports all the information on the current politics, culture, economy, and technology of the ten countries of the entire Shengyuan Continent in the past week, which is the best way for me to understand this worldly realm. The monthly magazine "The Holy Way" is also indispensable, and the poems and texts on it are the essence of the Ten Kingdoms, representing the development trend and ideological foundation of the entire world. I also have to read all the "Wenbao" and "Holy Dao" in the past years. ”

Fang Yun took a deep breath, his mind moved, and a calligraphy script appeared, and Fang Yun finally chose the "willow style", that is, the regular script style of the great calligrapher Liu Gongquan in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no willow body in the Shengyuan Continent.

Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan were the two major calligraphers of the Tang Dynasty, and their attainments in regular script were not weaker than those of the sage Wang Xizhi, but their calligraphy was naturally far inferior to Wang Xizhi.

The face body is too square and strong, and it is not suitable for Fang Yun to study now, while the willow body is stable and symmetrical, quite beautiful and smart, and the body is rigorous, which is more in line with Fang Yun's character and age.

In the imperial examinations, regular script had a higher status than Xingshu, but in terms of calligraphy, there was no distinction between the two, and in the military, cursive script prevailed.

Fang Yun first closed his eyes, silently memorized a copy of Liu Gongquan's famous work "Shence Military Monument", made it deeply imprinted in his mind, and then took up the pen to copy.

"The Emperor Patrols the Left God and Guides the Army......"

Fang Yun wrote one stroke at a time, one, two, three......

Ten sheets of paper were written without improvement, but he was not discouraged and continued to write.

After writing the twentieth sheet, Fang Yun stopped his pen and looked at it carefully, a smile appeared on his face, and there was a slight improvement in this word.

"It is worthy of being a talented world, I now have talent, not only has my body become stronger, I can 'see at night', but I also have a flexible mind, and I have to learn anything faster than before. ”

Fang Yun gained confidence and wrote more fluently.

After practicing calligraphy for an hour, Fang Yun walked in the yard for half an hour, and then returned to the house to continue practicing.

After practicing the calligraphy, Fang Yun burned all the calligraphy, and the "Shence Military Tablet" recorded the Tang Dynasty when various countries came to surrender and other things, which could not be seen by others.

Fang Yun rested for a moment and took out a slightly worn copy of the Book of Changes on the bookshelf to look through.

The original text of the book does not have any punctuation marks, and even the paragraphs are messy, but there are some marks made by Fang Yun himself with a brush, similar to a full stop, which is the so-called sentence reading.

Fang Yun began to recite the Book of Changes, and after reciting the first chapter of "Qian", Fang Yun was surprised to find that since he had completely memorized it, this was not clear in his previous memory.

"It's unforgettable. Because Jinshi has undergone many times of talent empowerment, his body and brain are extraordinary, so he can never forget, I can't imagine that I am just a child, and I can even remember it, could it be the strength attached to the world of strange books?"

Fang Yun was happy in his heart, and then continued to read this chapter "Qian" from the beginning.

Read the book a hundred times, and its meaning will be revealed.

When he read it for the third time, Fang Yun found that his mind was getting clearer and clearer, and the words in front of him seemed to be alive, and pieces of perceptible but unspeakable information appeared in his mind, helping him to understand the Book of Changes.

Fang Yun immediately guessed that this was another function of the Strange Book World, helping to digest knowledge, turning the strange books and the books into his own, and turning the dead into alive.

Fang Yun continued to read, and the most essential meaning hidden in the words slipped through Fang Yun's mind, gradually being understood and absorbed by him.

After reading it ten times, Fang Yun felt a slight feeling of fullness, as if he had just eaten.

"No wonder Confucius said that he didn't know the taste of meat for three months, I'm afraid it was because he 'ate' the most original thing in this world, so he naturally didn't care about the taste of meat. ”

Fang Yun did not recite the next volume of the Book of Changes, but took up a pen to write what he had just read.

After writing the first chapter of "Dry", the feeling of fullness in Fang Yun's abdomen disappeared, and the words he wrote this time were greatly improved compared to before, every word tended to be perfect, and every word seemed to contain true meaning.

Fang Yun picked up the page and found that the paper was ten times heavier than the previous copybook, and the ink did not disperse, and it did not dry for a long time.

Fang Yun reached out and touched the ink, as smooth and round as if it were touching glass.

Ink does not stick to the skin.

"Ink does not stick to the skin is a sign of integrating talent into words, even if it is a show, you have to practice for three or five months, the next step is 'text resonance', and then you can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, and fully master the 'paper talk'. If I could not get ink on my skin when I was a child, I am afraid that I would be able to 'talk on paper' when I first became a showman. It is not unusual for the pages to become heavier, and the legend has it that the saint is like a mountain, and it is even more terrifying. ”

Fang Yun didn't expect his progress to be so fast, his heart was happy and full of motivation, he continued to study and cultivate, recited ten times, and then wrote with pen and ink.

In the process of writing and studying the Book of Changes, his talent in the palace gradually grew, and the whole palace became stronger and stronger.

Before he knew it, the sun was setting, and the room became dark, but Fang Yun seemed to be unaware of it, and continued to read and write.

At night, his eyes are brighter than usual, and as a child, he has the ability to "see at night", even in the dark night when he can't see his fingers, it is like being in the daytime, everything is clearly visible.

Fang Yun finished writing another word and was reading it when Yang Yuhuan's voice came from outside.

"Xiaoyun, it's time to eat. ”

"Okay, I'll get out of the house right away. ”

Fang Yun ate as usual, but Yang Yuhuan was slightly different, she used to chat with Fang Yun but said very little, but in the past two days, she told Fang Yun everything in detail, talking about the process of finding a maid, talking about the neighbor's affairs, every time she talked about others praising Fang Yun, she was very happy, her face seemed to glow, and she was even more beautiful.

Fang Yun listened quietly, occasionally interjecting to say a few words. He felt very warm, and Yang Yuhuan already had an obvious dependence on him.

After eating, Fang Yun left with some paper, bought fruit and went to the county office, and Cai County Ling lived in the backyard of the county office.

In the backyard of the county government, Fang Yun met Mrs. Cai, who was very polite, and after greetings, Cai County took him to the study, and then taught him how to do scriptures.

"There are many structures in the scriptures, including breaking the topic, receiving the topic, giving a small lecture, paying the knot, the original topic, the big lecture, the remaining meaning, the original scripture and the ending, etc., so you don't have to stick to this structure, but you must understand all the structures. ”

Fang Yun himself has a certain understanding of the scriptures, after all, even if the students do not learn how to do the scriptures, they must also look at the long-term knowledge of the scriptures and righteousness to lay a foundation for the future.

While listening, Fang Yun moved his pen like flying, writing down all the important places.

Cai Xianling nodded.

The so-called breaking of the title is to solve the problem and use your own words to explain the words of the saints. If there is a mistake in even solving the question, will it not be a mistake again and again? Whenever the examiner marks the paper, if there is a mistake in the question, it will be discarded immediately and discarded. ”

After that, Cai Xianling gave several ways to ask questions, and analyzed the traps in the questions, which were explained in simple terms and very thoroughly.

Generally speaking, the teacher who teaches children is just a Xiucai, and no matter how powerful Xiucai is, he is not as good as a Jinshi, not to mention that these Jinshi will continue to study the scriptures and pay attention to the annual exam questions, because the scriptures are the most helpful to understand the way of the saints.

Cai Xian Ling spent an hour and a half to finish explaining the structure of the scriptures, which was extremely thorough, although Fang Yun wrote down everything, but because of his lack of experience, he did not understand it in many places.

After finishing speaking, Fang Yun was about to say goodbye, but Cai Xianling suddenly asked: "What type of questions have I just talked about, you come one by one, and you can't read the notes." ”

Fang Yun's face remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "The type of question you talked about first is 'General Chapter Questions', that is, the content of one chapter is used as the exam question. The second is 'cut off the topic', which only takes the first four words in a sentence. The third is the highly controversial 'interception issue'......"

Fang Yun answered all the question types without any mistakes, and added his own understanding.

Cai Xian Ling was stunned, and then his face was full of red light, and he said, "Okay! There are two columns in the court, and he will have your place in the future! Even if you have a place in the 'holy tower', I will not be surprised! It's a pity that I'm afraid that you won't be able to understand it if you talk too much, otherwise I will have to talk until dawn!"

"Xie Caishi. Fang Yun solemnly bent down to thank him.

"You sent me a top evaluation, and sent me a poem out of the county, and it is nothing for me to teach you some scriptures. ”

The two of them said as they walked out.

Seeing off Fang Yun, Cai Xian Ling stood in the courtyard and sighed to Yuechang: "This son is so good, it's a pity that it's not my son!"

Back home, Fang Yun continued to read the classics and practice calligraphy, and before going to bed, he repeatedly recalled what he had learned at Lingjia in Cai County.

This night, Fang Yun came into contact with Jingyi for the first time.

On this night, a pawnshop of the Liu family in Dayuan Mansion was burned, and the loss was more than 30,000 taels of silver.

This night, Fang Shouye visited the Liu family's mansion and slapped Liu Zicheng away, forcing Liu Zicheng to bow his head and admit his mistake, and put down his cruel words before leaving, if Fang Yun was killed, then the next day would be Liu Zicheng's death day!

On this night, Liu Zicheng used the Hongyan of the Academy of Literature to contact his brother Liu Zizhi, who was far away in the capital, and got his reply.

This night, Liu Zicheng took all his savings to visit the Wei Yuanjun of the Fuwen Academy, took out Liu Zizhi's handbook, and bought off this Liushan official from the five grades.

This night, Liu Zicheng looked in the direction of Jixian and swore an oath.

"I won't kill you, but I will tarnish your literary name, cut off your literary path, and ruin your future! Not only will you not be able to enter this mansion literary academy, but I will also humiliate you in front of everyone on the day you are admitted to the hospital, and make you kneel in front of me like a dog and beg for mercy, so as to wash away the humiliation that Fang Shouye's old dog has inflicted on me!"
