Chapter 5 Pure Xianxia
At night, Lin Zhengyang lit a candle and read in the quiet room.
The quiet room is not large, about 50 square meters, and it is very elegantly arranged.
There is a bookshelf inside, which is full of Taoist classics.
On the wall hangs an ink painting of Danqing, in which there is only a bamboo forest, which is upright.
Under the window is a desk, and the four treasures of Wenfan,
In the air, sniffing gently, there is a long-soaked ink fragrance.
"This kind of treatment is not available to everyone."
I realized that this was obviously due to my performance over the years.
After the birth of this life, he has been sluggish since he was a child, and he is introverted and quiet to the outside world, likes to read, and has studied and memorized all the Taoist books and ceremonial classics, and has performed well in home school many times.
Therefore, although they are more introverted, the clan still regards it as a material that can be made, and before this exam, an ashram is prepared.
I didn't meet those subordinates who praised the high and stepped on the low, or the children of the same clan who deliberately made them bad.
The Lin family has its own set of fairly fair rules.
Lin Zhengyang has always been low-key, rarely participating in poetry and literary meetings, nor socializing or running ······ Even if he wanted to, one would have no money, and the other would not be able to do it.
The Lin family, a well-educated family, takes care of their children quite strictly, not to mention going to the place of fireworks to drink and feast, even if it is half a minute late, there is a special person to record it for viewing.
Dude? Idle? Inexistent!
First obediently study in the family's own homeschool, and study honestly!
Everything is inferior, only the real immortal is high!
In such a world where there are true immortals, great demons, and gods, no matter what happens in the future, you always have to memorize the basic classics before you have the stage to advance.
Especially young people, it is a good time, not to bury their heads in reading Taoist classics, want to be fresh clothes and angry horses, walk dogs and fight cocks?
Daydreaming!
Where did the money come from?
The treatment of each person in the clan is limited.
The underage children of the clan are willing to go to school, and those who are diligent enough eat and live in the clan, and they do not have to spend money.
There are some inputs per month, about one or two hundred dollars.
In addition, every season, there is its own ready-to-wear shop that tailors new clothes.
There are also some miscellaneous uses, all of which are counted.
Including the furniture in your house, every piece, what color, materials are recorded, even if an ordinary ceramic bowl is broken, it must be reported and the reason must be indicated.
It must be mentioned here that the children of the underage clan have almost no private property.
Before adulthood, it is all supplied by the clan, and after adulthood, you have to give back to the clan.
That's the rule.
It is also the foundation that a large family can maintain.
Those gentlemen, in fact, are generally forced to do it as a last resort, or local tyrants who suddenly became rich and have a shallow background, and they have always been unpopular.
The children of the Lin family will also choose the children of everyone who also has a good family style for diplomatic travel.
The children of the gentlemen, and the children of everyone, are actually distinct circles.
In the Lin family, if even a child of the clan like Lin Zhengyang, who has always been low-key and rarely goes out, can encounter that kind of bad thing of slapping his face, it can only mean that the family is rotten, and don't expect to have a future.
And these, as long as there is a little bit of background, it is impossible to happen.
There are many brain-dead people in the world, but it is impossible for a brain-dead family to last long.
The Lin family is also a big family, with 15,600 people, some of whom are poor and some who are rich and noble, but they have not been cut off in previous years, and sometimes they have clothes and rations to give them money, so that they will not really be unable to survive.
Although the main vein side branch is separated, relatively speaking, it can still be a bowl of water.
In the past few hundred years, the main vein and side branches have had their ups and downs, rises and falls, but on the whole, the strength of the whole clan has improved.
As far as he knows, there are three county guards with real power, more than a dozen people before and after, hundreds of talents, and it is even said that there is a senior in the clan, who was an official during his lifetime, known as a popular person, and after his death, he got the shade and entered the city god's mansion and got the position of a clerk.
This is the way of survival of the big clan that can last for more than a hundred years, and it has its own set of systems to ensure the continuation, development and growth of this family.
These thoughts, just a thought, turn in my mind.
Immediately, Lin Zhengyang paced to the bookshelf, took out a volume, and flipped through it.
It is an ordinary scripture that is often read, but in the cracks of the book, there are annotations from predecessors, and they are carefully circled with a red pen to speculate.
I flipped through it slightly, and most of them were nothing new, except for the occasional point of view, which was eye-catching.
After reading it again, I closed my eyes and savored it, and in general, I already knew the level of the person who commented at the beginning.
"It should be not much different from me at this time, they have been studying the scriptures and righteousness for at least ten years since they were five or six years old, and it should not be difficult to obtain a child's life."
In the children's examination, the main test is the familiarity of the scriptures, which is divided into the first repetition, the second repetition, and the third repetition.
After each test, a list is posted, and everyone in the circle is selected.
In previous years, there were more than 2,000 people at the beginning of the year, and only 200 were left in the second round, and after the third time, only 20 children were finally famous.
The first reply is to post the topic, extract a few sentences from the classics, and you have to fill in the upper and lower sentences to make up the whole paragraph.
There is nothing difficult about this paragraph, it is just a matter of memorization.
At this level alone, people with insufficient financial resources have to put some effort into copying the classics.
The second is ingenious, and the origin of the school must be memorized by heart and mind in the past 20,000 years, but it is not out of the classic category.
Generally speaking, students are required to describe the life events of historical figures, the dates of birth and death, and the achievements and losses of their lives.
This level is actually the understanding of the martyrs of the Taoist sect in the school, which is more difficult.
However, after many exams, there is nothing new, you just need to memorize specific historical records, and you will not be difficult to pass.
Three repetitions, that is, the discussion, this level is not difficult to ask, as long as there is an article.
What you look at at this level is the rhyme, and the rhetoric, style, and talent are all secondary.
Reciting the chapter beforehand will not work here.
The examination room has its own mysterious method, so that you have no words, only the original chapter, contaminated with their own rhyme, can be written and inked.
For thousands of years, this scripture examination has long been thoroughly figured out, but these three times are really difficult to fake.
Or the cost of fraud is incredibly high, and it is not worth it to use it in a mere children's test.
"The world of Taoism is sacred, scientific research fraud, not to mention that it is almost impossible, but after the fact, there is no way to hide it, more is to be able to go back to the time, relive the scene of the technique, if it is not for the clan in advance to tell the secret, maybe I will really write a few famous articles, a blockbuster!"
Handed down to the world, self-condensing the true species, a blockbuster, although it is inevitable to be traced by all kinds of afterwards, but Lin Zhengyang, who boasts of having a spiritual treasure to suppress and has no taboos, is naturally confident.
It's just that now it seems that it still has to be low-key.
"It's too outstanding, and it's easy to be targeted by the demon clan hidden in the folk······ There have always been children of the poor family who are too good and eager to get ahead, but they don't know the trick, and they showed their talent early, so they were attacked and killed by the dead soldiers of the demon clan on the spot······ The children of the big families who really know how to protect themselves are not very conspicuous at this time, so they can live longer. ”
"Alas······ These tricks are exquisite, no one breaks it, and it is really frightening to hit it head-on, no wonder it has become more and more rare to see people from poor backgrounds in recent years. ”
I don't know how many up-and-coming children of poor families fell into one "trap" after another because of the asymmetry in intelligence, and buried their families.
Fortunately, after lifting people, the treatment is finally different.
Even if you come from a poor family, to this point, you will be taken seriously and will not be easily harmed.
It's just ······ There are so many difficulties and obstacles in just one children's test, what about the follow-up county test and provincial test?
How many of the humble scholars can survive at this time?
On this road to the sky, every step is full of swords and axes, and if you step on the wrong step, you will never recover.
"Huh-Fortunately, this world is not a world of cultivating immortals based on luck, otherwise it would be even more difficult!"
In the past ten years, he has not been in vain, although he has been forced to hold on to himself, and has never cultivated the Fa, but he has accumulated Taoism for a long time, has Taoist rhyme, and has also figured out a few points, plus read some miscellaneous books bits and pieces, how much he has judged that this world is a relatively pure Yuan Qi Creation World, and even this self-condensation true seed seems to be the flow of spiritual enlightenment, but in fact, it is still an out-and-out classic Yuan Qi creation at the root.
"The so-called self-condensation true seed, it seems that as long as the mind is clear, the mind can be achieved, and the path with those enlightenment is the same, but in fact, it is only superficial."
He thought quietly in the ashram.
"In fact, this is just an introduction, once you see your own nature, give birth to the heart of the Tao, between this thought, the heart is blazing, like firelight, fleeting, is the introduction of medicine."
"This light of heart happens, ordinary people can occasionally have it, but it is fleeting, and it is too small, like the light of fireflies, it will not help at all."
"Familiar with the Taoist scriptures, figuring out the Taoist meaning, and self-generated for a long time, such people are clear and wise, and once the light of the heart occurs, it is like the light of a candle, and this heart is ten times stronger than ordinary people? Once the external spirit is induced, it is poured into the body, wrapped in the fire of the heart, and the Taoist meaning of the past is burned into it, calcined into a bright and bright true seed, and then embarked on the path. ”
"That heart fire is the medicine leads, seeing the nature, the heart light occurs, that is, this qi is generated, and the spiritual machine is pulled."
"The spiritual power of the outside world is a great medicine, the qi in the heart is the true fire, and the Dao meaning obtained by one's own figuration has become an auxiliary material, and in the end, like alchemy, a Dan seed is calcined, not a golden pill, but it is also a seed of enlightenment - it is really a true seed by cultivating the truth through falsehood."
"If the outside world lacks spiritual energy, or the heart is not strong, this self-condensing true seed will become a moon in the water."
"Sure enough, this is still a rare and pure materialist Qi Creation Theory world!"
"What enlightenment flow, what luck flow, what heart flow, all stay aside for me!"
"In this world, if you want to achieve it, you have to rely on massive resources!"
