Early in the morning, Feng Hong simply ate something and went out with a book.

"Run slowly, be careful of falling." Feng Hong's mother instructed in the back that because the money owed to Lin County was repaid by Xuanyuan, Feng Hong's parents suddenly felt that a boulder pressed on their chests was removed, and they had hope and confidence in life. The smile on his face also increased, because there was no need to be afraid to live anymore, as long as he didn't owe money, it was nothing to be tired.

Feng Hong ran to a simple and dilapidated house and stopped, and shouted inside: "Grandpa Kun, I'm here!" ”

An energetic and sturdy old man opened the door with a smile: "Fenghong is here!" ”

Feng Hong entered the room and saw that there was still a chess game on the table in the room, "Grandpa Kun, you have been playing this chess for so many years, and you are still playing!" ”

Grandpa Kun's name is Kundi, and he came here alone a few years ago. Unacquainted, strange behavior, and unidentified from the outside, so the people around him don't want to deal with him. After Kundi came here, he found the current dilapidated uninhabited house, and simply cleaned it up and lived in.

Because it is not far from Fenghong's house, Fenghong's parents saw that Kundi was old, so they helped clean up the house, and what food they had to eat on weekdays, although it was not a delicacy, they would send some to the elderly. The old man also took it with a smile and never said much.

Feng Hong was very scared when he saw Kun Di when he was a child, because Kun Di was always smiling, this expression seemed to be unchanged on his face, in Feng Hong's opinion, it was very strange, so when Feng Hong saw Kun Di when he was a child, he kept hiding behind his parents, only showing one eye and quietly watching.

Once, Feng Hong picked up a book, the cover of the book was incomplete, the word morality could be vaguely seen, and the content of the book was also obscure.

Due to the poverty of the family, Feng Hong went to the free school for a few years and did not go to it again, and later due to illness, he was bedridden, and he couldn't go to the school to study, so the content of the book Feng Hong only recognized the words, but the specific meaning was foggy, and he didn't know what he said at all, and he couldn't understand it.

Fenghong's parents didn't want to see Fenghong lying on the bed all the time, so they moved a rattan chair and put Fenghong outside the house to let her bask in the sun. Feng Hong was reading the broken book he had picked up, and Kun Di came to his house to borrow a pen. Feng Hong was so frightened that she leaned back, and the old man didn't care when he saw her like this, and he didn't feel stunned. Seeing that his parents were not at home, only Nagahashi was at home, and he was about to turn around and leave.

Feng Hong looked at the old man and tried to speak: "Hey! ”

Kundi turned around and smiled faintly: "What's the matter, little girl?" ”

"What are you borrowing a pen for? Can you write? Feng Hong, who was only nine years old at the time, didn't understand, such a bad old man could still write?

Kun nodded: "A little." ”

"Then you look at this "Morality", can you understand it?" Feng Hong handed the broken book to the old man.

Kundi casually flipped a few pages: "This is a "Tao Te Ching", I know a little bit. ”

Feng Hong took the book and turned to a page in confusion, that is, she didn't understand the sentence after thinking for a few days, she asked the old man with the mentality of giving it a try: "The five colors are blinding, the five tones are deafening, and the five flavors are refreshing," and looked at the old man again, "Do you know what this sentence means?" ”

Kundi thought for a moment and nodded: "This sentence means that the colorful colors in the world dazzle people; all kinds of noisy tones, making people unable to hear; Food that is too hearty for the tongue to taste. ”

Feng Hong was puzzled, "Why?" What does this sentence mean? ”

Kundi: "This is Li Er who saw the rotten life of the slave owners and aristocrats, and he believed that the more a person plunged into the whirlpool of externalization, the more he will linger, feel self-alienated, and his soul will become more and more empty. So what he wants to express is that we should abandon the temptation of external materialism and maintain inner peace and tranquility. ”

Although Feng Hong didn't understand much after listening to it at the time, he felt that what Kun said was very reasonable. asked a lot of questions about the contents of the book in a row, and Kundi patiently explained them to her one by one, and since then, Kundi has come to answer Fenghong's doubts almost every day.

If you are confused and do not follow the teacher, your confusion will not be solved. But Feng Hong helped her solve her doubts, and soon read a lot of literary classics of the past dynasties, and also understood the deep meaning contained in them.

Sometimes Feng Hong can occasionally go to the ground, and she also runs to find Kundi and ask him to help see how the words she writes are. But every time he went, Kundi played chess alone in a shabbyly furnished room, sitting on the side of the chessboard, holding black in his left hand and white in his right.

It was only when he was playing chess that Feng Hong could see a little other expression on his face, such as doubt, contemplation, and relief.

As for the reason, the old man's statement is to kill boredom.

I came here today to find Kundi, or ask for advice, because it will be the immortal recruitment exam soon, and Fenghong is also working harder, taking the exam for nothing else, just to make my family more comfortable and no longer be bullied and slaughtered.

Feng Hong is holding "The Royal System" today.

Feng Hong pointed to a paragraph: "Grandpa Kun - so heaven and earth give birth to a gentleman, a gentleman manages heaven and earth, a gentleman, a ginseng of heaven and earth, the sum of all things, and the parents of the people." How to understand this sentence? ”

Kundi smiled: "This sentence is ......"

Not only Fenghong, but also the candidates who have signed up all over the country are actively preparing, each with its own purpose, and each has its own means to win.

Tai'an Palace, a boulder in front of the door is particularly conspicuous, only to see the royal pen inscription on it: Guotai Min'an. It was the emperor who praised the outstanding contributions made by Yi Jing, the king of Tai'an, to the national peace and security, and set this stone in front of the door to show that today's national peace and security are largely due to Yi Jing.

At that time, Yi Jing led his troops to quell the chaos and kill the Quartet, which made the enemy frightened. The emperor saw that he had paid a lot for the peace of the people, so he directly named the king of Tai'an, guarded Yizhou, and lived in a good place.

At this time, in the main hall of the Tai'an Palace, Yi Jing looked at Yi Chen in front of him and hesitated.

Yi Chen was a little anxious, "Father, don't hesitate, if the child can become an immortal, it is also a glorious lintel, isn't it?" ”

Yi Jing is mature and sophisticated: "Why don't you want to think about it, who has ever seen an immortal after so many years?" Now that you're suddenly looking for a few people to be immortals, don't you think it's strange? ”

"The child also feels strange, but I don't think it's a bad thing, even if it's a bad thing, there are still immortals on top of it." Yi Chen is determined to take the exam, Yi Chen doesn't really want to become an immortal, he just thinks it's fun, he wants to have a fun, in case he can become an immortal, it's not bad, it's not fun to stay at home all day.

"Then you go, take a few more people to protect yourself, you must be cautious, there are many unscrupulous people outside to achieve their goals, you are still young, you have not experienced much, you don't know that people's hearts are sinister, you still have to ......"

Before Yi Jing finished speaking, Yi Chen couldn't listen anymore, "Okay, okay, father, I know." ”

"I'm going too, my lord." A fat man shouted.

"Shanyong, what are you going to do?" Yi Chen asked.

This person is Niu Shanyong, and General Niu Shanzhan next to Shen Zhen is cousins, and the two live together. More than ten years ago, Niu Shanzhan went out with Shen Zhen, leaving behind the young Niu Shanyong, Niu Shanyong was born with divine power and courage. Later, Yi Jing inadvertently saw a person who killed the cow with a knife, Niu Shanyong, who was not very old, but he could firmly control the cow, and he was neat and simple, Yi Jing thought that this person was ruthless and brave, and he was a good seedling worth cultivating, so he brought it to himself and became a righteous son. thought that he would be a capable general in the future, and his cousin Niu Shanzhan did not object, one followed Hou Ye, and the other followed Wang Ye, all of whom were from Yipinfu.

Yi Jing was speechless: "Shanyong, you are a person who practices martial arts, you never read books, what are you going to do to make a scene?" ”

Niu Shanyong: "Let me try, you can't just let Yi Chen go!" ”

Yi Jing waved his hand helplessly: "Go, go, you go and Yi Chen are also taking care of each other." ”

"Daddy, I'm going too!" A girl rushed in and rushed in front of Yi Jing at once, almost hitting Yi Jing.

"How many times have I said it! Girl's family, don't go on a rampage, be polite, what do you look like? Yi Jing's tone was very fierce, but his eyes were doting.

"Got it, got it!" Grabbing Yi Jing's arm, he flattered.

Seeing her like this, Yi Jing couldn't get angry, "You are a girl's family, you are not allowed to go to join in the excitement of recruiting immortals!" ”

"Oh, Daddy, I'm also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I can also dance and play swords, what's wrong with me being a woman? There are fairies in the sky, too! The girl pursed her lips, dissatisfied with her father's statement.

"Yi Han, there are so many people, do you think you can compare to those men as a girl?"

Yi Han shook his hand: "Who said that women are not as good as people, I will go to the decision this time, I just want to defeat those men one by one, let them see what it means to be a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, and what is a heroine among women!" ”

Yi Jing: "Grandma, don't you want to be a heroine among women?" I don't object to your martial arts practice, thinking that you can protect yourself when you encounter danger, not that you should be a heroine among women! ”

"I don't care, I'm going!" Yi Han clasped his hands to his chest, raised his head angrily and ignored Yi Jing.

Yi Jing was very helpless, although he didn't know what the reason for this recruitment of immortals, but there must be a demon when things go wrong, and the reason Changye said to the outside world is obviously unreasonable, it's better not to participate, but who can stop the daughter who has been petted from childhood to adulthood what she wants to do!

"That's it, let's go," he looked at Yi Chen and Niu Shanyong, "You two take care of her." ”

Compared with Yi Jing, Lin Xian Ling was much more naïve.

In the county government, Lin Rou was practicing swords, preparing for the immortal recruitment exam.

"Rou'er, practice hard, you must come out on top, and when you become a fairy, your father will celebrate it for you." Lin Xianling watched his daughter dance the sword while drinking tea.

"Daddy, it will be." Lin Rou put down his sword and replied.

"Lin Rou, when you take the exam, you must use all the methods you can use, no matter what method you use, you must surpass others to get the ranking." Lin County ordered seriously.

"I know!" Lin Rou nodded, and there was already a smile on her face that didn't belong to this age.
