Chapter 59 The Little Monk's Confusion

The master has been very distressed recently, because there are some rumors from Wudang Mountain.

It is said that among the last batch of personal disciples of the master, Chen Letian is expected to become the eldest disciple. Although Chen Letian has not yet entered the Shen Dulou, the master has already begun to send him to Wudang to learn from the prodigy Wang Chongyang. You must know that the master's personal disciples are all proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and it is indispensable to go to Wudang Mountain and Shaolin Temple to study.

Today, on the top floor of the Shendulou, the master called Grandmaster Liu to his study and asked, "Then how can Chen Letian be so able to toss?

Grandmaster Liu helplessly spread his hands and said: "Teacher, this is no wonder to me, I saw that he likes to toss, so I sent him to Wudang Mountain to calm down, but I didn't expect him to buy off that Wang Chongyang as soon as he went, and that Wang Chongyang is also a young man, and he is messing around with him." ”

The master said: "I think he can still toss than you back then, really, young people now, it is really elusive." ”

Grandmaster Liu smiled: "Teacher, don't mention that I didn't die in your hands back then, I was a fortune teller." ”

The master sighed for a long time, and then made a high gesture and said: "The happiest thing is nothing more than to see the young people working harder and harder, and I hope that after me, you can be stronger from generation to generation, and guard every person in this land, even, every life." ”

Sect Master Liu solemnly arched his hand and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I won't let you down." ”

The master shook his head and said, "As long as everyone can do what they should do, the rest will be natural." If you are in line with Taoism, you will do nothing. ”

The master paced to the balcony, and Grandmaster Liu followed, the winter wind was strong, and the sun shone on people, which was very warm.

The two stood with their hands in their hands, looking at the sky.

Under the blue sky, the world is big and big, and small is small. It took the master 20 years to go around the world, and it took the master and son 20 years to talk about the things in the world, which is nothing more than a 'fight'.

In front of the Buqi Pool under Shendu, there are Anxi and Jueyuan.

Master Jueyuan followed Grandmaster An every day, eating, drinking, and sleeping well, which made him very frightened in his heart. In the Shaolin Temple, every morning before dawn, he and his brothers got up to fetch water to cook, meditated after breakfast, and then cleaned all parts of the temple, and then carried water to cook. Every day is busy from morning to night, except for sleeping, there is hardly a moment of idleness.

But now, in the academy, the food he eats is excellent, and the room he sleeps in is bigger than the Fayuan Hall of Shaolin Temple, and he doesn't do anything every day.

He was a little afraid that after he stayed here for a year, he wouldn't want to go back to Shaolin Temple. It's scary!

"Master An, I'm afraid I'm not Senior Brother Lingyun's opponent. "For the gamble of the Shaolin Temple and the Academy, Jueyuan is very unconfident in himself. He only cultivates Buddhism, and it can be said that he only knows a little bit about Confucianism and Taoism, and Senior Brother Lingyun's Dharma attainments are probably not under his senses. He didn't know that these disciples of the Master were so powerful, so how powerful the Master on the Shendu Tower should be as powerful as the sun.

An Xi said: "Lingyun has only read a few Buddhist scriptures, and compared to you, it is still a lot worse. You don't have pressure, take out the pure heart of your Buddhist disciples, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the key is that with this year, Zhao Yuanzuo can practice with peace of mind. In the future, no matter whether Zhao Yuanzuo returns to Shaolin or the academy, there will be no such year, and Zhao Yuanzuo will not be buried. ”

Jueyuan thought about it and sighed. The sparkling pool in front of you is clear and you can see carp swimming leisurely at the bottom of the water.

Jueyuan practiced in Shaolin Temple with his master Zhitong since he was a child, and before the age of ten, he was in the temple with his uncles and brothers, and after the age of ten, he traveled around with Master Zhitong. Thousands of pairs of straw sandals have been broken, robes have been mended hundreds of times, leftovers from the fate are eaten, and sleeps in the wilderness or ruined temples. I have saved many people, and I have seen many injustices.

Jueyuan is grateful to Master Zhitong from the bottom of his heart, and he took the trouble to explain Buddhism to him, and took him to travel tirelessly. If it weren't for that hard time, Jueyuan knew that he would definitely not be able to become famous in Tianlong Temple. Name, of course, is not important to him, but as a member of Shaolin, he always hopes that Shaolin's name can be more resounding.

If more people can believe in Shaolin, the master, abbot and uncle will be able to save more people. All sentient beings are suffering, and if one person can survive it, there will be one less suffering.

An Xi and Jueyuan stood by the Buqi Pond for an hour, both of them motionless.

Jueyuan suddenly said: "Master An, I want to go to the kitchen to do things from today, every day... With nothing to do like this, the little monk was really frightened. ”

"I'll take you to see the students in class. An Xi didn't answer Jueyuan's request, and took Jueyuan to the building where the class was held.

The largest building complex in the Blue Sky Pavilion is the classroom where students take classes. Thousands of classrooms are distributed in an orderly manner according to the rules, according to the different content learned, the classrooms are large and small, and some are outdoors, such as the classroom of the Imperial Science and Archery Department, which is an outdoor enclosure fence without a roof. All other subjects are indoors.

These classrooms can accommodate tens of thousands of students at the same time. However, there are only three or four thousand students in Qingtian Pavilion, so there are a lot of spare classrooms. Fifty years ago, when the Blue Sky Pavilion was expanded, Master personally designed it, and the first decision he made was to double the size of the school complex. At that time, most of the great masters were against it, believing that it was a waste to build so many more houses. However, the two great masters of Master and An Liu tried their best to promote it, and finally expanded.

The master said that it is always a good thing to cover more places for learning and build more places, and if Qingtian Pavilion expands the number of students in the future, these classrooms that seem redundant now can come in handy.

An Xi led Jueyuan and walked for a while before arriving at the class building group.

"Let's look at the etiquette classroom first. "Anxi Road.

Qingtian Pavilion starts with Confucianism, and this ritual classroom is in the outermost way. Just like a Confucian student, etiquette is the table.

An Xi and Jueyuan walked into the Tianzi No. 1 class, Hu Jiaoxi inside only stopped slightly, and when they saw An Xi and Jueyuan walking to the back and sitting down, Hu Jiaoxi continued to lecture as if nothing had happened.

This Hu teaching is the one that beat Chen Letian in the previous exam. As the chief teacher of the Six Arts, the most first-class teacher of the Rites, Hu Jiaoxi is actually only in his early forties this year, and he is also a practitioner, although there is little hope of being promoted to the Great Master in the future, but with his fame, he may not be able to become the chief teacher of the Rites in ten or twenty years.

Jueyuan listened to the class for half an hour and felt that many doubts in his heart had been solved. He began to read Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, and it was only in the past two years that he was instructed by the abbot to read some Confucian books without seeking much understanding, and Confucius and Mengxun read them several times. However, due to the different sects, he did not dare to read too much, for fear that reading too much would damage his pure heart.

So I accumulated a lot of confusion in my heart when I read the Confucian classics. Usually he didn't dare to ask the master, for fear that the master would beat him, and he couldn't say that the abbot asked him to see it. He asked the abbot, but the abbot didn't give him a solution, just touched his bald head, smiled and said, "Go and understand yourself." ”

Out of the classroom, Jueyuan was still immersed in thinking. An Xi smiled: "Don't be busy thinking, there are still five classes to listen to." ”

The next step is to shoot the five subjects of the Imperial Book of Mathematics and Music.

What surprised Jueyuan the most was that the three subjects of archery and mathematics in the academy were closely related. In the mathematics department, there are many calculations that calculate the speed of archery and the size of the turning of the car. Mathematics is here, and people feel that it is not just for people to use it for the purpose of settling accounts.

There is also music, where the teachers and students are immersed in the music, just like when Jueyuan recites scriptures in the morning with all the teachers and brothers every day, at that moment, forget all the troubles of the world, and only a piece of clarity is left in his mind.

It wasn't until the sun set that the lectures were over. Listening to the lectures of those teachers and watching the students listen to the lectures, although many problems were solved, Jueyuan's mind added more questions that needed to be considered.

"Don't think about it yet, there's something I want you to see. An Xi patted Jueyuan on the shoulder.

Seoktenkaku has five canteens dedicated to eating. It covers an area of about 100 acres. The people in the capital have more or less eaten the food in the Qingtian Pavilion canteen, and they are full of praise for its taste, and they all say that it can be compared to the second-rate restaurants in the capital. Moreover, in terms of price, the five canteens of Qingtian Pavilion are all very low, and the same dish here is at least one-third cheaper than outside.

An Xi led Jueyuan to one of the canteens, called Zhiweitang.

During Jueyuan's time in Qingtian Pavilion, he ate dishes exclusive to the great masters with Anxi every day, so this was the first time he had entered the cafeteria that students often frequented.

An Xi directly led Jueyuan into the back kitchen.

There are many people in the back kitchen, and it is very lively, because it is meal time, so the dishes are made non-stop, and when they are ready, they are served outside. Everyone was busy, and Jueyuan looked around and found that no one was lazy. This is very rare, those taverns and tea shops outside, it is difficult for you to find a guy who is not lazy.

Anxi said: "Most of these people are recruited from outside, and many people are proud to be able to work here. There are also some students from poor families, you see that Zhou Guoting, who was admitted to the first class of Tianzi with the grades of the six arts, but still worked here to earn some money to subsidize the family. ”

Zhou Guoting, a poor student, was dressed in smart clothes, wearing a small hat, with nimble hands and feet, and carrying meals back and forth. It is very different from the calm and calm Zhou Guoting who was dressed in a green shirt and scholar in the etiquette class two hours ago, and talked about the Confucian classic Mencius.

An Xi pointed at another student and said, "Look at that extremely obese Tian Hao, although his family is rich, he has a very good personal relationship with Zhou Guoting, so he also came to work, and he paid Zhou Guoting when he earned his wages." ”

Seeing that Jueyuan was a little puzzled, An Xi explained: "Tian Hao originally wanted to give Zhou Guoting money directly, but Zhou Guoting resolutely didn't want to, so Tian Hao came up with this method, and said in the beautiful name 'You earn money, I reduce meat'."
