Chapter 187: On the Way of Respect and Humility

When Du Jinning was about to walk to the door, a young man came in from outside, this was about twenty-five or six years old, very thin, as thin as a bamboo pole, and his expression was gloomy, his eyes were cold, his lips were pursed, and he looked like a very difficult person to get along with.

Seeing him coming, the students in the teaching house all stood up and bowed to the young man: "Mr. Yan." ”

Seeing Du Jinning, Yan Cen stopped at the door, looked Du Jinning up and down a few times, and asked, "You are Du Jinning?" "The voice is not as majestic as that of ordinary men, but has a bit of the screeching of a female voice.

Du Jinning raised his eyes and glanced at his neck, and saw that there was a big bulge of the Adam's apple on his neck, so he looked away and bowed like other students: "Du Jinning has seen Mr. Yan." ”

Yan Cen didn't shout, and said coldly: "My professor's class doesn't accept students who are not admitted from the righteous path, you can go back." ”

There was a sudden silence in the teaching hall, and everyone's eyes were on Du Jinning, sympathetic, disdainful, and indifferent; But more than that, there is a glow of excitement that can be seen lively.

Du Jinning raised his eyes to look at Yan Cen.

Although she didn't stay by Guan Lehe's side for a long time, she still knew a little about some of the situation in the academy.

This seowon was built by several forces with fundraising. Although Guan Lehe has become the head of the mountain, there is not only one voice in the academy. Especially in the past few years, because the reputation of the academy has gradually improved, more and more people have come to study, in order to recruit talents for their family and cultivate power, several forces have been competing constantly, wanting to take the position of mountain chief from Guan Lehe. It's just that Yuan Xiuzhu has always supported Guan Lehe, so he suppressed these different voices.

But behind the scenes, there are always people who don't buy Guan Lehe's account. Just look at Liang Xiankuan in front and Yan Cen in the back, and then you can know it.

To put it bluntly, Yan Cen in front of him is not aimed at her Du Jinning, but Guan Lehe.

If she retreats now, Guan Lehe will have to be ridiculed, laughed at for his blindness, and accepted such a cowardly disciple who can't be on the stage. And the words "not following the right path" will also become a powerful excuse for them to attack Guan Lehe.

Therefore, even if it will leave the impression of "wild and uninhibited" to Mr. Quan College, she still has to fight this battle, and she cannot back down in the slightest.

She straightened up and smiled; "Dare to ask sir, what is the right way? Isn't it true that the enrollment of students assessed by the mountain chief is not called the right path, and the admission of students assessed by Mr. Yan is called the right path? Mr. Yan, an ordinary gentleman, actually despised the decision to deny the mountain chief so directly, so the student still wanted to ask Mr., 'If the courtesy exceeds the system, then you will be respectful and obedient; If you are happy to lose your order, you will be pro-disordered', what is the interpretation of this sentence? ”

Yan Cen looked at Du Jinning, dumbfounded and speechless.

The reason why he embarrassed Du Jinning like this was because he had already found out Du Jinning's identity and status, this is a poor boy in the countryside, who has never even gone to a private school, and only because of his excellent memory was accepted by Guan Lehe as a personal disciple.

For a person like this, who has never seen the world, as long as he looks at him with a cold expression and says two more difficult words, he will be frightened, cowering, and cowardly retreating. In this way, Guan Lehe's reputation for privately accepting students who do not have real talents and learning to enter the academy and not follow the right path will also be confirmed. They used this as an excuse to attack for a while, and maybe they could pull Guan Lehe down from the position of the mountain chief.

He didn't expect that this little kid, who was only as high as his chest, would have such courage, and in the face of his embarrassment, he was not flustered and cowardly, straightened his waist, calmly hit back at him, and said it was reasonable, so that he could not refute it.

How to argue with it? The king is respectful, and the minister is humble; The Father is honored, and the Son is humbled; In a college, it is natural that the chief of the mountain is respected and the gentleman is humbled. He rejects the decision of the mountain chief, that is, he has forgotten his dignity and does not remember his identity. This truth is his fault everywhere it goes.

The students inside the school hall and those who were barricaded outside were stunned.

They didn't expect that this child, who looked to be in his early teens, would dare to look directly at the cold-faced Hades - because Yan Cen happened to be surnamed Yan, Yan and Yan had the same sound, and he had a cold face all day long, and he was very strict with the students, and he was often punished heavily, so the students gave him such a nickname in private - and made the cold-faced Hades speechless, isn't this simply too powerful?

Where the hell did this kid come from?

It took a long time for Yan Cen to find his voice, he pointed at Du Jinning, and his fingers trembled with anger: "I am a gentleman, you are a student, you talk like this, what kind of humility do you tell me?" Existence like mud, are you qualified to talk to me about humility? ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Du Jinning worriedly.

Isn't? The mountain chief is respectful to Yan Cen, but Yan Cen is also respectful to Du Jinning. Since it is respectable, to loudly refute the other party's remarks, wouldn't it overturn the order of respect and inferiority that Du Jinning just said?

Du Jinning was not in a hurry, his expression was still calm and calm, his voice was not in a hurry, but he was full of confidence: "The Tao Te Ching has clouds: the Tao is born, the virtue is the animal, the form of the object, and the potential is formed. It is to respect all things and honor virtue. The respect of the Tao, the nobility of virtue, the life of Fu Mo and the nature of the usual. Therefore, the Tao is born, and the virtue is animal; The Elder Cultivates; Mature; The poison of the pavilion; Raise it. Born but not had, for the sake of not ashamed, long but not slaughtered. It's called Xuande. ”

She looked directly at Yan Cen: "Therefore, people who are truly reasonable have no self and know that everything is indistinguishable." You and I are reasoning now, so we should abandon everything that only negates your decision to the mountain chief, and nothing else. ”

The students in the teaching house suddenly turned their heads to look at Yan Cen excitedly, wanting to see how he refuted Du Jinning. Although they also respect Mr., when they see someone angry at Mr., what is it about them still claming for joy all over their bodies?

"You ......" Yan Cen trembled with anger.

Du Jinning used the "Tao Te Ching" to refute him, saying that they were talking about "reason", and they should abandon everything to follow respect and humility to talk about this "reason". If he wants to refute, he can naturally find out the classics and fight back against the past. But looking at the kid in front of him, he seems to have no fear. He never forgot it, and he didn't know how many classics he memorized in his stomach, and a few words would definitely not be able to refute him.

And if he continues to reason with him, it is really abandoning his identity and status, and he only argues with him "without self". It's okay if you win; But if he loses, maybe the win is not so neat, and in front of so many students, he, the gentleman, will not be able to do it anyway.

originally embarrassed this kid and made him retreat; In the end, he quit the academy by himself. When the time comes, you don't have to be ashamed to die, the head of the Yan family will scold him to death.

Therefore, he can't continue to debate with this kid no matter what, otherwise, he will be in a position of defeat.

"Who are you to reason with me? I don't recognize you as my student, get out of the school! Yan Cen simply ignored it, turned sideways to open the door, pointed outside the door and shouted at Du Jinning.
