Volume 2, The Journey of the Husband and the Gentleman Chapter 64, the original Lingmen
Bai Jiu didn't know how to describe his mood at this time in words, so he gave Hua Jin a puzzled look.
Hua Jin didn't look at him, but asked, "Is there something to say?" ”
The scenery here is beautiful, but there is one thing missing, and that is people.
"It is rumored that Lingmen is a sacred place of Confucianism, and there are 3,000 disciples of saints practicing here in Zhushan."
After hearing this, Hua Jin laughed, and Bai Jiu's face became darker and darker.
There are many ways to say this, such as the teacher is called a contemporary Confucian sage, a teacher of eternity. He is the teacher of all Confucian disciples in the world, so the three thousand disciples are the general term for all Confucian disciples. In addition, the teacher lived for a relatively long time, and more than 3,000 disciples were accepted in countless years. The last theory is that the original name of the senior brother was Chai Sanqian, so it is said that Lingmen has three thousand disciples. ”
"In fact, on Zhushan, where Lingmen is located, plus you and the teacher now, there are only five people."
Bai Jiu thought to himself, no wonder he hadn't seen anyone after walking for so long, although the cliff was big, he didn't see a house that looked like a school.
"Although there are only three people, the division of labor is still very clear."
After speaking, he pointed to the waterfall in the distance and the pavilion by the lake, and said, "The teacher asked the second senior brother to write, so the second senior brother's business is to write every day and raise fish every day." Of course, there is also the occasional poultry game, and our meat comes from there. ”
Then he pointed to a cliff full of flowers in the distance, and said, "The teacher knows that I like flowers, so he asked me to plant them on the cliffside, of course, there are also vegetables we usually eat and some common herbs." ”
Finally, he pointed to the scattered houses under the towering ancient trees and said, "The senior brother is weak, so the teacher asked him to cut bamboo in the mountains, so the houses we live in are all built by the senior brother." ”
The scenery on the cliff flat turned out to be like this.
The corners of Bai Jiu's mouth twitched a little, and he asked, "This is the Confucian holy land today?" ”
Hua Jin said proudly: "This is the holy land of Confucianism today!" ”
.........
The news of Bai Jiu's entry into Zhushan soon spread in Yong'an City, and Lord Wensheng added another disciple, but he didn't expect it to be really this Bai Jiu.
Most of the people were in admiration, and in the chatting after tea and dinner, no one admired the young man's ability.
From coming to Yong'an City at the end of last summer to today, in just one year, countless miracles have appeared in this young student.
From the first in the Qingfeng Academy exam, the first in the literary exam, to the Qianlong test is still the first. From not knowing how to practice, to the lack of closed eyes on the hidden dragon test. From a student of Seifuin Temple, to a disciple of the current Bunsheng-sama.
All this, Bai Jiu only took a year.
For such a major event, the Tianqi Four Courtyards showed a different attitude.
A tall red lantern was hung in Seifu-in, and the students were gathered in the Hall of Wisdom, and even the dean, who lived in seclusion, attended the party, and the whole house was jubilant. The same is true of Baihua Lane, which is full of girls, and Baihua Lane is full of laughter. At the same time, the story of Bai Jiu spread in the academy.
Comparatively speaking, the Heavenly Choice Academy and the Purple Shirt Annexed Academy were naturally not so excited, and the hearts of the deans were full of doubts and ideas. Tianxuan Academy is relatively better, after all, Liu Fuyao and Mei Hanxiang have been old friends for many years. And the big names in the purple shirt annex couldn't be happy.
Of course, a lot of things happened in Yong'an City during this period, and what the civilians and students saw was only on the surface, and many things were hidden in the dark by the imperial court.
For example, the matter of the white-faced man in the Criminal Department, such as the death of the white-faced scholar in Yong'an, such as the vision on Zhushan, and the attitude of all forces towards this matter..... It's just that civilians don't care about these things. One more disciple in Zhushan, and one more person in the Confucian holy land, is just a topic in people's mouths. However, there are some sensitive people who will think of a question, will the civil and military Qibin become the eight bins in the future?
.........
Autumn goes and autumn comes again, and there is nothing new. It rained in Yong'an City, and the chill grew.
The residents of the city changed into long-sleeved shirts early, and the second junior in the store that had opened early stood outside the store, tightening the long shirt on his body, looking at the sky with a little doubt. For some reason, autumn seems to have come a little early this year, and the temperature has been a little lower.
The cool breeze entered the city, the green trees in the city withered and yellowed, and fell all over the ground into autumn, like an old man in his twilight years, gradually watching life wither.
Since the beginning of the Tang Tomb, His Majesty Emperor Yu ordered that the Dayu military entered a state of complete readiness for war. Liyang Guoshi Guang'an Zhenren entered the Tang Tomb, and countless young heroes died in Dayu, among which the most expensive was Qingfeng Temple.
If it weren't for the timely rescue of several gentlemen in Zhushan, there might be as many as half of the people who died in the tomb, and Bai Jiu would not have come out. However, even so, Tang Chun of Qingfeng Temple still stayed in the Tang Tomb, and his life and death were unknown.
Regarding this matter, the Academy of Liberal Arts unexpectedly showed relatively calm, but everyone knew that the apparent calm of the scholars was not like this, and I don't know how much work the imperial court had done to suppress the anger.
The murder of the courtiers of the country is the country and cannot be endured!
Outside Huaiyang Pass in the northwest, there is a long green grassland, and the territory of the west.
Outside the northern snow, there is a vast white snow field, the territory of the Northern Yan.
At this time, although there were no military camps in the two places, everyone knew what the other was preparing. The Dayu Iron Cavalry in the Guannai is also getting ready to go, and the cavalry in the grassland outside the Guanxi should be the same, the Northern Yan Kingdom has always been weak, and I don't know how to face the anger of Dayu. It is rumored that the only female disciple of Lord Wusheng also came out of Helan Mountain and is now in Huaiyang Pass.
The eldest disciple Gu Qingyang is in the north, the female disciple Guan Yue is in the west, and Yew Garden sent a letter to the hinterland of the grassland, asking for an explanation. The Dayu Army Department has already begun to operate in the rear, preparing for supplies to the front.
............
The scenery of Zhushan is still beautiful, the bleak autumn wind does not blow yellow all the mountain bamboo leaves, but makes the mountain cool and refreshing, like spring. The rain is scattered in the verdant mountains, and it is even more turquoise.
Time flies and time flies.
Bai Jiu didn't know if he had figured out the questions explained by the teacher, but his life was a little dull.
From the initial unfamiliarity to the gradual familiarity of Zhushan, he found a lot of interesting things.
In the morning, I went to the mountains with the senior brother to cut bamboo, it turned out that the hardness of the bamboo in different places was different, and it turned out that the senior brother had never used true qi to cut bamboo, but moved with real strength, no wonder it always looked so hard. There were so many hidden small lakes in the mountains, and there was a lake that was the favorite of the elder brother, not big, but there were a few lotus leaves and a few swimming fish.
The small houses under the huge green trees are all made of bamboo and wood, and unless they are forcibly destroyed, they will not be a problem if they are exposed to the wind and sun.
Although Bamboo Mountain is called Bamboo Mountain, it is not all bamboo, and there are many pine and maple trees.
The second senior brother always wrote in the pavilion next to the waterfall, and the roar and mist of the falling water were very large, but there was never a trace of dampness on the paper in the pavilion, and the second senior brother seemed to not hear the roaring sound at all. Writing is actually a re-practice, and there is a back, the second senior brother always takes some ancient books from time to time, although the words are copied down, but they all look bright and jumping on the paper. Hua Jin said that the second senior brother wrote because the teacher wanted him to calm down, but he didn't expect that the more he wrote, the better he became, but his heart became more and more chaotic.
The top of Zhushan Mountain is an open area with huge cliffs, and naturally there are many cliffs. There is a waterfall near it, and there is a crack in the middle, and I don't know which ancestor carved several ravines between the separated mountains, and in the ravines there are many bookshelves, and the bookshelves are naturally books, and now they are covered with the whole cliff. I heard Hua Jin say that before the teacher was revered as a saint, he read books here for a hundred years.
Huajin has its own cliffside, which is not high, facing east, and welcomes warmth and wind all day long. The cliff side is full of colorful flowers, and of course there are many vegetable patches. The food of the five people up and down Zhushan is these things, Bai Jiujue's Zhushan is a little poor, and it seems that the days are not as comfortable as Qingfeng Courtyard, but in fact, it is not. Hua Jin said that the annual expenses on Zhushan are not large, but all the things are sent by the Academy of Liberal Arts, not without money, but useless.
Of course, the food is not only vegetables, the place where the waterfall falls is the lake, and there are many fish in the lake, but it is not Hua Jin who raises fish, and it is not only the second senior brother.
When he saw that scene for the first time, Bai Jiu's jaw almost fell in surprise, and there was a white crane in the lake, and the red on the top of its head was like a jewel. It was the teacher's crane, and he also had a share in raising fish, and of course it ate itself.
Bai Jiu rarely saw the teacher, and I heard Hua Jin say that the teacher always likes to go down the mountain, but every time he goes down the mountain, he is a different person.
"What's the other one?"
"It's just a different look."
"A different look?"
"It could be an old man, it could be a young man, it could be a woman."
"What is the reasoning? A private interview with Weifu? ”
"According to the teacher's principle, it is to go around the world and feel the meaning of the world."
"I've heard that Taoism has entered the WTO, Buddhism has gone to the red dust, and Confucian disciples are originally people who have entered the WTO.
"The teacher naturally has a deep meaning in doing things, and the teacher also said, you have seen it."
"We've met? Where is it? ”
"How do I know this, after you went up the mountain for the first time, the teacher went down the mountain with you."
Bai Jiu suddenly felt that the rice bowl in his hand was a little heavy, and racked his brains to recall the people he met after going down the mountain.
At that time, the trip to Tangling was imminent, and many former students of Qingfeng Academy returned to the academy.
The fourth floor of the library building was a little more crowded than usual.
He looked for some books about the legends of this world and met an old bachelor.
Thinking of this, Bai Jiu suddenly put down the bowl, frowned slightly, and then let go, suddenly brightened.
It turned out to be him.
