There is a mixture of things, born from nature. Independence, unchangeable, can be the mother of the world. I don't know whose son is the first of the emperors, I don't know his name, the word is "Tao"

There is a Tong City in the territory of Dongchen Kingdom, and there is a Jiang family in the city.

Every time the big rooster will announce the dawn in the morning, the crisp copper bell rings, and the children of the family gather in the school to attend classes.

Today, Master Qin is teaching and teaching the children of the Xi clan.

"What is the Word?" Who can answer accurately?"

The Master's daily question obviously did not ask anyone, and the little boy of seventeen or eight stood up and replied in a letter: "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things." ”

Master Qin twisted his beard and listened to his answer, very satisfied, "Not bad." The Tao is the way, the very way, the name is famous, the name is not the name. The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things. Everything is reincarnated, and the five elements have the same effect as it. ”

"Five elements: one is water, water is moistened, with the meaning of moisturizing and downward; the second is fire, which is hot, and fire has the characteristics of heat and upward; third, wood, which is curved and straight, and has the meaning of growth and rising; fourth, gold, from the revolution, has the characteristics of killing and reforming; fifth, it is said that the soil, and the soil is the ...... of planting crops and biochemical things."

Master Qin shook his head regularly, his voice was high and low, and he was lecturing in a subdued tone.

At first, the students were still interested, but the content after that was boring and obscure compared to what they had learned before.

The students in the audience either lay their heads on the table, or exchanged their heads and ears, and the three or two of them talked about small words, all of which looked like they were lacking in interest.

Seeing this, Master Qin gently lifted his cane and landed on the ground, and clicked twice to make a clanging sound. At this time, with him as the center, the sound spread in all directions like water waves, and the sound was not weakened but intensified.

Caught off guard, Lingbo was so frightened that the classmate raised his head buried on the table, and immediately sat down and looked at the master at a loss.

"Get serious for me, don't think that the family trial is still very early, if you don't prepare in advance now, it's too late to learn the trial again.

You all know what will happen to those who don't pass, instead of being assigned to do business far from home, just wait for the land to be divided and cultivated!"

Although Master Qin's words are humorous, he tells the most true situation at present.

The laws of the Kingdom of Dongchen state stated that all people who reached the age of eighteen, regardless of gender, must go through the trials of the family.

Those who pass the trial will continue their studies, while those who fail will be divided into land for farming or family inheritance for inheritance, depending on the family's situation.

During the trial, there will be court officials to monitor and prevent cheating. The purpose of such an ordinance is to select talented people to serve the country.

"We've known this for a long time, and with my current strength, I can definitely pass the family's trial. A little white fat man said his opinion.

"There are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. ”

"Don't think that everyone knows what the Master says, so you don't listen to it. Don't be complacent just because you have achieved something!" "Master Qin hates that iron is not strong, how many people in this world are high-eyed and low-handed, trapped in place and stopped.

Qin Fuzi planned to list some famous people to warn the students, "In history, Zi'an was good at dictionaries at the age of six; he was able to write poems at the age of seven for sightseeing; Changji was able to dictate at the age of seven, and his name moved Jingyi; Maha was nine-year-old and knew his words, and he was subordinate to Gongcaoli, and he was idle in the music of music; Taibai was ten years old and knew the Five Classics, and he dreamed of writing flowers! They are all young and promising, look at yourself, do you still think you are very strong?"

The master spoke earnestly and hoped that the students would be able to listen to the words and change their thinking.

"Now it's all about martial arts, not text!" the classmate sitting on the other side whispered a sentence below.

"Stupid!" Master Qin naturally heard it clearly, picked up the crutches in his hand and put them down, just now he really wanted to knock open their heads to see if it was paste.

In the face of this group of children, Qin Fuzi said in a deep tone, "There is such a sentence, govern the country with culture, and use military security to state." This is something that is different from the environment in which you live! Not only do you have to learn martial arts, but you also have to know the principles of the ancients, and you must also learn from the experience of your predecessors. ”

Master Qin shook his head, it seemed that he still hadn't really woken up the students, and Master planned to test the students present.

"Born in troubled times, he is a martial artist. Born in Anshi, he is Shangwen. Do you know how peace is achieved now, and have you heard less of the truth that you are born in sorrow and die in peace?"

The students were talking little and were completely unconcerned about the Master.

"I thought I was very powerful, so the old man had a question......"

All the students talked about answering the questions, and they all became nervous, their eyes widened, their ears pricked up, their backs straightened, and their necks stretched out to hear the questions from the master.

"Can you deduce the relationship between the five elements according to what the old man just said?

As soon as he said it, he was about to ask, but no one answered.

"Jiang Yimu, you come to answer!" Master Qin saw that Jiang Yimu, who was sitting in the back row, was not in class, so he asked her to answer the question she had just asked.

The girl named Jiang Yimu stood up, her face was still beautiful and lovely without powder, she was about eleven or twelve years old, her physique was slender, and her face and height were extremely inconsistent with everyone else, and she looked out of place.

"But got the answer?"

When she was suddenly called, she looked a little flustered, accidentally stepped on her embroidered skirt and almost fell, and her staggering appearance was very funny.

"It's stupid enough to get up and answer a question and step on your skirt!"

Jiang Yimu stood up straight and saluted his master in a proper manner. Just looking at this calm and relaxed temperament can be regarded as a lovely person, but when she opens her mouth, it is too beautiful.

"I don't know. ”

When the people below heard her answer, they all whispered below, accompanied by laughter, "I know that this idiot doesn't know anything." ”

Full of anticipation but in exchange for such an answer, Master Qin waved his hand in disappointment.

Perhaps she knew something else, and the lady patiently asked, "Then do you know anything about the five elements?"

"None. Jiang Yimu looked dumbfounded, and his reply was only a few words.

"Copy what you said five times today and give it to me tomorrow before class. ”

Qin Fuzi did not get a satisfactory answer, so he freely explained: "Gold sells and melts water, water moistens and grows wood, wood is warmed and fire, fire burns wood produces soil, and soil and mineral deposits produce gold." ”

Jiang Yimu, who did not answer correctly, looked out the window, admiring the emerald green after the rain hit the plantains, looking up at the white clouds in the sky, blue as a wash, and the corners of his mouth naturally hooked up a smile.

She silently recites in her heart: fire overcomes gold, gold overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, and water overcomes fire.

Master Qin went on to explain the five elements of mutual restraint, "Rigidity is better than softness, so gold is better than wood, because knives can cut down trees, because specialization is better than scattering, so wood is better than soil, because trees can stabilize the collapse of soil, real is better than nothing, so soil is better than water, because dikes can stop the flow of water, because many are victorious, water is better than fire, because great water can extinguish flames, because fine is stronger than strong, so fire is better than gold, because fire can dissolve metal ......"

"Master, is there a true Tao in this world?" the immature young boy Yin was learning from the master.

No one can really say what the Tao is, and how is the Tao?

Master Qin asked the students to find the answer by themselves, "Everything is the Tao, and everyone understands the Tao differently, it all depends on your own understanding." ”

The boy nodded as if he didn't understand.

Master Qin glanced at Jiang Yimu again before leaving, she still looked careless, her eyes were blank and she didn't know where to look.

He didn't understand how he was so smart since he was a child, but he became more and more stupid when he got older. Master Qin shook his head in disappointment and left with his hands behind his back.
