Song Nan made a joke, Wang Shouren felt that Song Nan was much closer and cute.

There was no interaction between him and Song Nan, and his understanding of Song Nan was limited to what he knew and heard, and all the things that Song Nan did were sensational, and the means were endless, so he couldn't help but regard Song Nan as a ruthless person. At this moment, after talking face-to-face for a few words, I felt that Song Nan was not as shady and hateful as he imagined.

"The so-called anecdote that has been circulated outside the world is nothing more than an immature act of my youth. After the ambition to join the army was frustrated, I went home to study, and I read a lot of the subset of the history of the hundred schools of thought, and I was impressed by the words and deeds of the sages, so I aspired to become a sage person, and at this moment, I still feel a little ridiculous. ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Lord Wang's ambition is really unthinkable to others, but now this ambition seems to have been realized, and Lord Wang has become a sage in the world." ”

"Don't make fun of me, do you still have a foothold when you spread the word? When I was studying, I studied Cheng Zhu Lixue, the so-called everything is reasonable, in order to explore its reason, it is necessary to learn from things; So one day I saw a few bamboo poles in front of the hall, and I wanted to explore the principle of the bamboo, so I sat on the bamboo in front of the hall for seven days and seven nights without moving, which is the anecdote of the so-called Shouren Gezhu passed on to the outside world. ”

Song Nan laughed and said: "It's really different, I don't know what the reason is?" ”

Wang Shouren stroked his beard and said: "There is nothing, seven days have passed, and my mind is blank. ”

Song Nan laughed, and Wang Shouren also laughed: "My father let me eat a bamboo board for this reason, saying that I was incorrigible, and he was half dead in old man's anger." ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Ling Zun is also a wonderful person, he likes to spank people so much, it seems to be the style of my Jinyi Wei Yamen." ”

Wang Shouren was a little unhappy, he didn't like Song Nan's mention of the Jinyi guard beating people, which made him return to the scene in front of the Qianqing Palace that year, it seems that Song Nan is Song Nan after all, that incident is just a joke in Song Nan's mind, but it is a shadow in the minds of everyone who experienced this at the time.

Song Nan saw Wang Shouren's displeasure, but he didn't care at all, he wouldn't look at the old master's eyes like a primary school student, for people like Wang Shouren, respect should be respected, but there is no need to be superstitious, especially after making up for his theory of mind before coming, Song Nan admitted that he was a genius, but what he mentioned may not be reasonable.

"Later, Lord Wang went to become an official, right? But I don't know how this mind was born from the extraordinary brain of Lord Wang. ”

Wang Shouren cleaned up his mood, stretched out his hand and stroked a bamboo branch hanging down in front of him and said slowly: "Yes, when I was twenty-one years old, I was in my township examination, and when I was twenty-eight years old, I was transferred to the Jinshi, and I also served in the Beijing Military Department for several years; Grandpa Guo should know what happened after this, the sound of the court staff in front of the Qianqing Palace back then, I remember it vividly. ”

Song Nan avoided answering this matter, and only smiled: "But since when has this source of mind science already germinated in your heart?" ”

Wang Shouren looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "It is not appropriate to say that it germinates in my heart, when Zhao and Song Dynasty, Lu's Jiuyuan and Jiuling are the originators of psychology. And my generation is just inheriting and carrying forward. ”

Song Nan didn't know anything about the academic discussion of science on the shore of Leadshan Lake, and it was no different from hearing that two fighting cocks fought hundreds of years ago, but Zhu Xi, a big celebrity, Song Nan knew it, and he could have a big debate with Zhu Xi, so it can be seen that this Lu Jiuyuan is also a person, and he didn't expect that the source of this mind can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty, which can be described as a long history.

In this way, Wang Shouren is not modest, and the study of mind is inherited and carried forward by him, rather than a whim in his head. Song Nan was even more curious, why was a person who picked up people's teeth and wisdom, but was respected as a sage, and his fame was tens of thousands of times higher than that of the Lu family, the originator of the creation of the world.

"I see, how the king is immersed in prostitution. What about the formation of such a scale in the study of the mind? With all due respect, Cheng Zhu's science is the mainstream today, and if an adult suddenly proposes this matter of mental science, isn't it against the mainstream and not afraid of being criticized? ”

Wang Shouren smiled faintly and said: "There are many truths in the world, I just said what I think is correct, as for what others think, whether they believe it or not, that's not what I consider." I just can't tolerate people indulging in a false truth and not thinking about it. Speaking of which, I still owe it to Liu Jin for my epiphany, and maybe I would like to thank Zhenguo Gong by the way. ”

Song Nan smiled: "Oh? What's the matter with me? ”

Wang Shouren said coldly: "When the impeachment of the Eight Tigers by the outer court failed, the old man Dai Mo committed suicide in front of the Qianqing Palace, and several cabinet elders were deposed and returned home. The head of my small military department was not spared, and was relegated to Guizhou Longchang Station to become a small post officer. ”

Song Nan was a little embarrassed, saying that it must be wrong to say that it had nothing to do with him, that incident was the mastermind behind him, although the later incident was too big, and Liu Jin's uncontrolled purge and persecution was not at his own will, but this account must have been calculated on his head. Even Dai Suer counted his father's death on himself back then, and others must have thought the same.

"Lord Wang, I can only say sorry for this matter, it is difficult to distinguish the merits for a while, if you are angry, I can only apologize."

"No, I'm not rehashing the old thing, and I'm not trying to get into the merits, but in fact I'm quite grateful for it, and for me personally, in that situation, I have the mood to think about something. I also had free time to visit the monks and ask questions to travel to Gewu. In those years, I traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers in search of the truth of the understanding of things, but I never received a satisfactory answer. ”

Song Nan's mind came to the situation of Wang Shouren always eating and sleeping in the open air, thinking about asceticism, although it is difficult to understand the living state of this kind of people, but the feeling of searching for something is in line with the world, and Song Nan can also empathize with it.

"Longchangyi is located on an official road through the deep mountains, located in the middle of nowhere, and is inaccessible; But fortunately, the environment is quiet and the scenery is extremely beautiful. It's not too much work to be a poster, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it as having nothing to do. There is a deep pool in the back mountain, the water of the pool is more than ten zhang deep, and it is crystal clear. Every day I will wander on the banks of the clear pool, walking aimlessly on the woods and rocks by the water. I was calm on the outside, but I was stuck inside, and I was never able to explore the mystery in my heart, which made me miserable. It was under these circumstances that I spent several years. Wang Shouren looked away, seemed to be talking to Song Nan, and seemed to be talking to himself, and the whole person was immersed in memories, as if he had returned to the Longchang Station of the year, and returned to the edge of the deep water pool.

"One day, I fell asleep tired by the pool, and when I woke up, it was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers. I was at a loss, the mountain wind was whistling in my ears, the boulders and grass under my feet were tangled, and I couldn't find my way back to the station. What is the use of seeing things out of sight? So I simply closed my eyes and walked, and with the memory in my heart, I found my way back to the post station safely. Standing on the hillside below the inn, I suddenly understood a truth, just like the darkness of that night, all senses have lost their usefulness, and all that can be used is my heart. So I understood, I had an epiphany, I struggled to pursue the reason of things, it turned out that there is no reason in the world, the truth of the world is in my heart, there is no need to deliberately pursue, he is in my heart, has always been there, but I didn't find it. ”

Wang Shouren's breathing was a little short, his eyes were shining, thinking of the moment when he comprehended this truth that day, the excitement in his heart still couldn't help himself.

"This is the anecdote of the enlightenment of the dragon field that has been passed down to the outside world." Song Nan said in a low voice, he was infected by Wang Shouren's affection, as if he suddenly understood all the synaesthesia as a persistent seeker.

"It's not important, the important thing is that I understand this truth, and that's the most important thing." Wang Shouren gradually calmed down and said lightly.

Song Nan whispered: "Where is the fragrance of flowers clear at night?" The sound of the thatched hut in the stone forest across the stream. The moonrise of the ghost is lonely, and the bird mountain is empty and chirps. The grass dew is wet, and the pine wind is light with the kudzu clothes; Linliu wants to write Yilanyi, Jiangbei and Jiangnan are infinitely affectionate. ”

Wang Shouren's body was shocked, he looked at Song Nan and said, "Have you read my poems?" ”

Song Nan sighed: "I'm ashamed, I've only read a few songs, I didn't understand the meaning of this song "Longtan Night Walking" for a long time, but now I understand it." Lord Wang, no matter what kind of friendship you and I have, just knowing the hard work and perseverance that Lord Wang has put in to pursue the truth in my heart, I Song Nan will sincerely worship it, this time it is absolutely sincere, and it will not be adulterated. ”
