The questions on the Xilin wall are very strange, there are dozens of answers to a question, and there are two or three at the least, which is very lively at a rough glance.

"What is the next sentence of 'Thirty-fifth Cave Taoyuan Mountain' in "The Story of Cave Heaven and Blessed Land"?"

The first question Yuan Lai saw was such content, he suddenly felt very speechless, he really knew the book "The Records of the Blessed Land", the Yuan family book has a wide variety of books, and there are a lot of books about cultivation, he has nothing to do in his spare time, he also turned a few books, if he remembers well, the author of this book is Du Guangting, a great cultivator of the previous dynasty, but he only turned two pages casually, where can he remember the content of this? {Note 1}

Looking at the answer below, someone wrote a line of beautiful small characters under it: "Thirty-fifth Cave Taoyuan Mountain, White Horse Xuanguang Heaven." ”

Yuan came to see the signature, and the signature of the owner of this line of Juanxiu's handwriting was only one word: "Xie." ”

"Thank you...... Is this a surname or a first name? He muttered, a little confused, and then looked down at this question and no one answered it anymore, he thought about it and understood, this kind of question with a fixed answer can naturally only be answered by one person, who answers quickly is who, and the subsequent answer is useless, and there is a suspicion of plagiarism.

Moving his gaze, he saw another question: "How to make the world no one compete with me?"

The questioner's surname is Shi, and it was because he noticed this familiar word that he saw this question.

This question is about the philosophy of life. Yuan Lai thought about it and felt that if he came to answer by himself, he really didn't know how to start for a while, so he subconsciously looked at the answer.

What caught his eye was still the delicate and elegant font, very grooming, and he was slightly stunned before looking at the content of the word.

"The song is complete, the vain is straight, the depression is profitable, the new is new, the less is gained, and the more is confused, and it is the style of the world to hold one of the saints. Don't see it, don't show it, don't cut it for it, don't make it meritorious, don't grow for it. Husband, only if there is no fight, so the world can not fight with it. —Chapter 22. ”

The signature is still a beautiful "thank you".

Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then woke up!

This passage is the content of the twenty-second chapter of the Tao Te Ching, and there is also a book in this world, which he has read more often, and he still has an impression of this passage, which is the philosophy of life.

If this passage is translated literally, it means: Grievances will be preserved, grievances will be extended, low-lying will be filled, old will be renewed, less will be gained, and more will be confused. Therefore, people who have the Tao adhere to this principle as the paradigm of the world's affairs, and if they do not praise themselves, they can show it, they can show it if they are not self-righteous, they can show what is right and wrong, if they do not boast about it, they can get merit, and if they are not self-reserved, they can last for a long time. It is precisely because he does not fight with others that no one in the world can fight with him. {Note 2}

In this way, this quote from the Tao Te Ching answers that question perfectly.

Yuan Lai sighed in his heart, and his eyes stayed on this answer for a long time before he moved away.

Yuan Li didn't know much about writing, and he could recognize the handwriting on the stone wall, so he didn't bother to solve any problems, and when he was bored, he looked at it randomly, and he didn't understand anything for a while, but he saw a strange thing.

"Master, have you noticed that there are many answers to these questions that have the same person's words. ”

"Which one do you say?"

Yuan Li stretched out his hand and pointed to the word "Xie" and said, "That's it, the one with a very beautiful handwriting, almost every answer has it." ”

Yuan Lai was slightly flustered, and he looked at it according to Yuan Li's instructions, and really found that the word "Xie" was all over Xilinbi, and most of the questions had its figure, especially some questions that asked about the origin of the allusions and sentences in the book, and this person almost firmly occupied the position of the first answerer.

Yuan Lai's face became a little strange, and he suddenly felt a little frustrated, because he found that too many of the questions here were related to the cultivation classics, and the relevant books he had read were extremely limited, and he was really helpless against this kind of problem, especially compared with that "Xie", he didn't have the slightest advantage.

He smiled bitterly, and turned to become curious about this person, so he asked a middle-aged man next to him, "May I ask who is that 'Xie' on here, I see that he has answered a lot of questions." ”

The middle-aged man seemed to be recording the problems on the wall for the master's home, and he had a pen and paper in his hand, and was copying the words on the wall.

"You said her," the middle-aged man smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction not far away, and said: "She is actually the Xie family, a very powerful girl, and I don't know how the Xie family raised this kind of candidate, only she alone actually occupied most of the country on the Xilin wall this year, which is really speechless." ”

Yuan Lai was taken aback and said, "Is it a girl? Xie family? Are you talking about the Xie family in Wuyi Lane?"

"Which Xie family is there in the capital?" the man laughed.

It is said that the children of the two families of Wang Xie and his family, both men and women, are full of poetry and books, but they follow the ancestral teachings Men can only enter the court as officials, not to step into practice, as for women...... Although there are many women in the Wang Xie family, they will always be overwhelmed by the dazzling brilliance of the men.

But when a girl from the Xie family appeared in the crowd of the Beizong exam, when her dazzling surname appeared on the Xilin wall, no one would not pay attention to her, even though she was just a girl.

"What's her full name?" asked Yuan Lai.

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's strange that this girl only has a surname and no name, but these days, people here have given her a nickname."

"What nickname?" Yuan Lai said curiously.

"Female Student!"

“......”

Yuan Lai glanced at this person with a strange face, and secretly exhaled, having a deeper understanding of the humanistic spirit of the Great Apocalypse.

Putting aside the question of nicknames, Yuan Lai began to look curiously at the words of this female scholar of the Xie family, the small characters are handsome and have a faint fragrance, which is very pleasing to the eye.

However, when he raised his head higher and higher, and saw a high paragraph on the Xilin wall, he suddenly showed surprise.

It was still the girl's handwriting, but this time it didn't seem to be an answer, but a question.

The position of the question was so high that he couldn't see what was written for a while, and the surroundings were empty, and there was no one to answer them.

"Why is this unanswered?" he said, surprised.

This voice is a bit loud, attracting the attention of many people.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "That question, that question has been placed there for three days, and it has been written on this wall when there are not a few candidates here...... No way, haha. ”

"Oh, what's so hard?"

"Take a closer look. The man smiled a little narrowly.

Yuan Lai squeezed a few steps, walked closer, and finally saw the question clearly with his eyes wide, and suddenly his eyebrows raised.
