Li Chong returned to Jinhuatang, and after ordering some things, he prepared to go south to Dongting Lake, which happened to be regarded as a trip, Confucianism emphasized reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, which was also the way of self-cultivation respected by Confucian sages in the past dynasties.

Confucian scholars throughout the ages would follow this principle, and after reading the Confucian classics and studying the books of the sages, they would begin to travel around to increase their knowledge and follow in the footsteps of the sages.

In addition to practicing martial arts in recent years, Li Chong has also immersed himself in Confucian classics, and as an ordinary student, he successfully worshiped under the great Confucian king Xiaotong.

Wang Xiaotong is a famous Confucian in the capital, in the state of a semi-hermit, devoted to Confucianism, never contacted the officialdom, ignored the royal summons, indulged in Confucian theory, and carefully taught the disciples, but the acceptance of apprentices is extremely strict, so there are not many disciples in the door, but the cultivation of Confucianism is very high.

Wang Xiaotong himself has great attainments in mathematics and calendar, and is respected by many Confucians, and many Confucians will come to visit and exchange every year.

Originally, Li Chong wanted to change his name, but Confucianism paid great attention to respecting teachers, so Li Chong did not dare to hide it.

Because although many Confucians ignore the world, they have a strong insight into people's hearts and conduct.

But fortunately, the teacher didn't ask about Li Chong's life experience, but after passing the character and knowledge, he accepted himself. Maybe in the eyes of this great Confucian, there is no difference between the so-called princes and nobles and the ordinary people, all they care about is the quality of a person and the level of conduct.

This time the dragon girl asked for a good experience, and it is also a good reason to use the name of experience, but before traveling, you must tell your teacher and say goodbye to your teacher.

Dressed as a Confucian student, Li Chong walked towards Wang Shidi's residence.

With the idea of being hidden in the city, Mr. Wang Xiaotong's residence is located not far from the downtown area.

In front of the door is a branch of the Jing River that flows through the entire Chang'an, and a small bridge on the river lies quietly. There are a few willow trees planted next to it, and the surroundings are very quiet, which is particularly prominent in this flowery Chang'an City.

"Teacher, student Li Chong came to visit. ”

When he came to the door, Li Chong tidied up his clothes and said in a deep voice.

"Li Chong, come in. A faint voice came from inside the door, and the voice was full of kindness and wisdom.

Push open the gate, come to the yard, a corner of the yard is planted with creeper-like plants, forming a small shed in the yard, the green branches are hanging, revealing a sense of greenery and prosperity, there is a chair under the shed, and there is a "Sutra of Ancient Calculations" next to it, Li Chong knows that this is the hard work of Wang Shidi, although it has not been completely compiled, but it has shown a profound concept.

There are some vegetables planted in the other corner of the yard, Wang Xiaotong is dressed in Confucian clothes, more than sixty years old, his face is white and ruddy, and he has a slightly white beard under his chin, revealing a high level of cultivation and knowledge, and he is taking care of this small vegetable garden with farm tools, Li Chong knows that the purpose of this small vegetable garden is to be self-sufficient on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to exercise his body, so that his body and mind can be exercised, which is also what Wang Shi advocates for all students.

Wang Xiaotong not only emphasized that Confucian scholars should do all six arts, but also should know about agricultural affairs, understand the sufferings of the people, and be a Confucian disciple who truly cares about the world.

Seeing Li Chong coming, Wang Xiaotong put down the farm tools in his hand, wiped his sweat, and sat on a chair under the green shed. The whole body exudes a faint elegance.

"Li Chong, why are you here today?

Looking at Li Chong, Wang Xiaotong asked softly.

"Teacher, the students have been reading books recently and want to travel around to witness what they have learned. ”

Looking at the kind and majestic teacher, Li Chong said the words he had prepared.

"Ugh"

Hearing Li Chong's words, Wang Shi glanced at Li Chong lightly, pondered slightly, and said with a smile.

"Have you decided to travel? Well, yes, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is what a Confucian disciple should do. Now that you've decided, go for it. ”

"Thank you, Master, disciple must abide by Master's teachings and abide by the essence of Confucianism. ”

In the face of this kind and strict teacher, Li Chong did not dare to slack off, since the apprenticeship, Wang Shi's strict teaching and meticulous care for himself, so that Li Chong has a strict father and a loving teacher.

Li Chong even suspected that his mentor already knew his identity, but his mentor treated all his apprentices for a while, neither despised himself nor avoided him because of his status. If it weren't for the slightly extra care he sometimes showed to himself, Li Chong would not have been suspicious.

However, Li Chong knew that no matter what his identity was, his mentor was still his mentor, and his mentor would also regard him as the youngest apprentice, Li Chong, rather than some prince.

"Just wait a minute. ”

Wang Shi said to Li Chong, turned around and entered the house.

Seeing his mentor enter the house, Li Chong felt strange for a while, but his mentor must have something to explain to him. He stood in the courtyard and waited.

After a while, Wang Xiaotong came out of the house, holding a codex in his hand.

"This trip is a must for Confucian disciples, but the world is so big, the danger is constant, as a teacher is just a Confucian student has nothing to give you, just give you a pair of handwriting. ”

Li Chong respectfully took the hand sticker from Wang Shidi. When I opened it, I saw that there were eight vigorous characters written on it, revealing a majestic righteousness of heaven and earth, which seemed to turn into clouds and shake out of the paper.

"Determined to seek the truth, not afraid of hardships"

"Sir's great kindness, the disciple must remember it. ”

Seeing this calligraphy, Li Chong's heart was shocked, and he looked at the teacher, his eyes were full of excitement and deep gratitude.

The handwriting of a great Confucian is precious, and every handwriting and calligraphy and painting is the condensation of painstaking efforts, containing the avenue in the heart of the great Confucian, so every Confucian handwriting is a treasure that the students of the Tang Dynasty have sought.

And Wang Xiaotong has never officially written a notebook, nor has he written a real handwriting to anyone, even if the prime minister of the dynasty once asked for a handwriting, he did not agree, I didn't expect to make an exception today to write handwriting for Li Chong, this kindness, this care, so that Li Chong's heart is warm, extremely moved,

However, Li Chong didn't say anything, because Li Chong knew too much and seemed too hypocritical, and his teacher had no desires and no desires in his life, and he wouldn't need anything to repay him at all.

The reason why the teacher does this is simply because he is the teacher's student, and it is as simple as that. Therefore, if you say too much, it will hurt the feelings of teachers and students.

Li Chong turned all his feelings into a deep bow.

"There you go"

Seeing Li Chong's expression, Wang Shi said lightly, and continued to tidy up his vegetable garden.

Looking at the teacher's back, Li Chong bowed deeply again and turned to leave.

"Hidden Dragon's Life!"

After watching Li Chong leave, Wang Shi Nannan muttered to himself. His eyes were full of love and a hint of worry.

After returning from his teacher, Li Chong kept the teacher's true handiwork firmly close to him.

Everything is ready, it's time to pass on the book, and on the way, I can't help but increase my knowledge and just refine the Yuan Qi Heavenly Bead and increase my strength, maybe by the time I get to Dongting, my strength has increased a lot.

After making proper preparations, Li Chong immediately set off, observing the scenery and cultural customs on the road during the day, and refining the Yuan Zhu when he rested at night.

After walking on the road, Li Chong realized the importance of traveling thousands of miles, and the customs and customs he saw not only greatly increased his knowledge, but also allowed him to have a lot of understanding of the world, and compared it with what he saw in the book, so that he could master the knowledge of the book more thoroughly.

Yuan Zhu's unremitting refining has allowed his strength to slowly increase, not only martial arts, but also the spiritual pressure of the god of death, which makes Li Chong very happy.

This day, he continued to walk, but he didn't see half a family for most of the day, which made Li Chong feel depressed, it seems that he can only sleep in this barren mountain for one night, fortunately, he is not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the day, Li Chong was ready to walk for a while to see if he could find a hunter's house.

I don't know if it's my luck. Standing on a hill, Li Chong saw a deserted temple from afar, and his heart was overjoyed. That way, you don't have to sleep in the wilderness.

Quicken the foot soon came to this temple. Looking at the huge temple, Li Chong's face flushed with a hint of strangeness. Because there is a broken stone tablet in front of the temple, which reads "Lanruo Temple".

"It shouldn't be such a coincidence, maybe it's the same name, and Nie Xiaoqian's thing doesn't seem to be the Tang Dynasty, maybe I think too much, but if I can really meet it, I can meet the beautiful and touching Nie Xiaoqian, the upright Ning Caichen, and I can also see the strength of the monks in this world, and I can see the monsters, as if I haven't seen the monsters in this world, I don't know what the ability of the god of death will be compared to these monks and monsters?"

Thinking of this, Li Chong faintly looked forward to it, he didn't know how the strength of the god of death was really in the face of these gods and monsters, after all, the strength he knew was speculation, and he hadn't really practiced it.

However, when he thought that all this was a little impossible, he felt that he was thinking nonsense, shook his head, and walked into the temple, ready to work hard to refine the Yuan Zhu Bead.

When Li Chong walked into the temple, there was a glimmer of pride on the stone tablet, which was fleeting.
