The mottled city walls look up at the sky, pouring out the smoke of the past; The deep city gate is full of traffic, the other side of the gate is black and white, and the other side of the gate is colored.

Looking at the people coming and going, the bustling crowd, today's story is still being played, and yesterday's history has passed. How many heroes and heroes have turned into a handful of loess?

"The sadness is the cool autumn breeze, and the tears are wet and the clothes are not in the night." Looking at this place where he was born and raised, Chen Fan had inexplicable mixed feelings in his heart, what is important? What's not important? A dream of life, especially watching from the wall, Chen Fan's heart suddenly became empty, and in the blink of an eye, things were human and wrong, but the avenue lasted forever.

Chen Fan finally decided to put the cultivation of "Taigong Yin Fu" first, in essence, Chen Fan is still a relatively conservative person, and he is naturally reluctant to take risks that he is not sure of at all. Chen Fan, who put it down, said goodbye to Xiang Yiming the next day and led everyone to the outside of Jiankang City.

"Let's go into town." Chen Fan, who got off the carriage, slowly walked towards the city gate with the three brothers of the Hu family who were leading the horses, and suddenly the sky was stormy, as if it indicated that something big was about to happen, which was exactly the beginning of the storm as soon as he entered Jiankang.

……

Kuniko College is not only a unique institution in Kyoto, but also a unique institution in the whole of Daliang, and it is a holy place for students to study. People who can study here, not to mention those who are rich and rich, can also be said to be well-educated, of course, there will be one or two who go through the back door, but that background is definitely noble and prominent, at least Chen Fan is absolutely not qualified to enter this study through the back door.

The gate of Guozixue is not something that ordinary people can enter, Hou Feng and a few of them were blocked out of the courtyard, only Chen Fan entered the courtyard with his body and chess documents, of course, Chen Fan can also let Hou Feng enter the college with his own body and chess documents to register, but Chen Fan decided to report by himself, since he has arrived at the gate of the college, it is also good to go in and learn about the terrain and landscape of the college by the way, so he should look at the examination room in advance.

Chen Fan followed the route told by the porter and went to the registration office of the chess academy.

"This Lang Jun, please stay."

What stopped Chen Fan was a young man, wearing Guozixue's white school uniform, with a single face, small eyes, and thin cheeks.

"What?" Although he was inexplicably blocked by someone, but this is Guozixue, Chen Fan is not worried about being robbed, but he is a little curious why he blocked his way.

"Looking at your clothes and age, I don't think you are a student of our Guozi School, we have something we want to ask you to arbitrate, I don't know if it's okay?"

"I'm sorry, I still have to go to the chess academy to sign up for the chess test, it's not too early, please forgive me." Chen Fan doesn't plan to be a judge, especially in arbitration, the winning side will not thank you, but the losing side is likely to hate you.

"I won't delay you too long, and besides, the chess test will only start after the test, and it will be too late to report tomorrow." This student did not give up, but persuaded him.

"I have something to do tomorrow, and I need to test the day after tomorrow, I'm really sorry, you can find someone else." Chen Fan didn't want to be moved by a few words, so he continued to excuse himself.

"You can also not be in a hurry to test the day after tomorrow, the test time is ten days, and the test will be taken later, maybe there will be fewer people behind, and it will be easier to pass."

"I still want to rush home early, I don't want to be delayed too long in the capital, I'm really embarrassed." Chen Fan arched his hand, ready to bypass the person in front of him, and continued to walk towards the chess courtyard.

"That disturbs." Fortunately, the young man did not continue to pester, but politely moved out of the way.

Chen Fan sighed secretly in his heart, more things are better than less things, and hurry up to sign up. Chen Fan, who finished registering, was stunned as soon as he came out of the chess courtyard, and the young man who blocked the road before was not only there, but also followed by more than a dozen people.

"I'm sorry, let's meet again, I think Lang Jun should be free now, we have something to inquire about, I don't know if we can delay Lang Jun for a while."

"Of course, there is something going on with Brother Tai, but it doesn't hurt to ask." Looking at this posture, Chen Fan knew that he couldn't excuse himself, and now that so many people came to block him, if he refused, it would be an offense.

"Lang Jun is the first time to come to Jiankang?"

"Exactly, I just arrived today, I don't know you all, and I don't know your identity, if you have any questions, may I ask." Seeing that this young man did not ask questions directly, but asked about him, this was clearly to prove to others that he did not know him, the two did not collude in advance, and simply made it clear that if someone questioned the best, then he could directly raise his legs and leave.

"I'll ask." The young man who had blocked the way earlier was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by someone behind him.

It was the same young man who spoke, but he was handsome and tall, Chen Fan heard an undoubted taste from the words "I'll ask", and the young man who was blocking the road before immediately stepped aside after seeing the person who spoke.

"Please."

"You are walking on the road and you have picked up ten taels of silver, and there is no one around, will you stay and wait for the owner, or will you take the silver?"

This question sounds simple, but it is actually a question that tests human nature, Chen Fan will not say that he will take the money away, which is not good for his reputation in the future, of course, he can't directly say that he is waiting for the owner, that is he has nothing to do? If the owner doesn't come, do you have to wait forever?

Chen Fan immediately said: "This question naturally depends on the situation, if there is an emergency, let Yin Liang lie on the ground and leave directly; If you have nothing to do and have money on you, you are waiting for the owner; If you are short of money and have parents at home who need to be supported, you will naturally pick them up and take them back to support your parents. After speaking, he arched his hand and prepared to leave.

"Wait." The person who had just spoken stopped Chen Fan, who was about to leave, looked at him and said: "The first situation you said is not true, picking up money is a matter of convenience, and it doesn't take much time, so why do you need to leave directly?" ”

"The exam is coming soon, you are in a hurry, and suddenly you find a penny on the side of the road, how do you choose at this time?"

"How can this penny be compared to ten taels of silver?" Someone next to him spoke.

"I didn't compare a penny with ten taels of silver, a penny can only buy two catties of rice, and ten taels of silver can buy 20,000 catties of rice, how can this be compared?" Chen Fan said lightly to the person next to him.

"Then how did you convert the ten taels of silver that were lost on the side of the road into a penny?"

"Do you think that if you change a penny to ten taels of silver, the answer you get will be different?" Chen Fan asked rhetorically.

This question is not easy to answer, a penny is money, and ten taels of silver are also money, but if the amount is inconsistent, the result of the action is different, it means that the person's heart still can't withstand the temptation, if it's the same, then naturally there is no need to change.

Sure enough, Chen Fan's question made the person who interjected shut up. The person who spoke probably thought about it, and decided that it was better to choose to leave directly, so he said: "Even if your first situation is true, why should you set conditions for the second and third cases?" ”

"In fact, the first one has already explained that if something happens, leave directly; If nothing happens, these ten taels of silver, for ordinary people, it is a huge amount of money, maybe it is life-saving money, then it will naturally have to wait for the owner to claim it; But if you are short of money and need this money to save your life, it is a gift from God, and you have a fate with it, so you have to take it back for emergencies, and if you have money in the future, do more good deeds, try to find the lost owner, and then return it is not too late. ”

"Do you think your nature is good or evil?" It is estimated that Chen Fan's answer did not let the questioner get the answer he wanted to extend, and directly changed the question.

"It's not your nature, it's human nature, Mencius said, 'human nature is inherently good', Xunzi said, 'human nature is inherently evil', which view do you favor?" Before Chen Fan could answer, someone next to him interjected.

The person who interjected was about the same age as the person who spoke first, with well-defined facial features, two thick eyebrows, and a heroic look, and his speech did not arouse rebuttal from others, including the speaker, and it seemed that this was the focus of their discussion, an issue that had been debated for thousands of years in Chinese history.

This question, Chen Fan doesn't want to answer, it's not easy to answer, Mencius and Xunzi are both saints, representatives of Confucianism, Chen Fan doesn't want to offend anyone, he is not a Confucian person, why get involved in this controversy, and said at the moment: "You can ask the wrong person, there are so many people in the world, who can count it?" If it is based on one person, then how can it be proved that this person can represent thousands of people, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and each is different, one gave birth to twins, and there are good and bad, why? It can be seen that whether it is Mencius or Xunzi, their views are correct, they are judged according to the people they come into contact with, and the results are naturally different depending on the people they come into contact with, and we can only make judgments based on the people we come into contact with, but the people we come into contact with are not the state when they were born, but they have thoughts and ideas, which reflect the state when they are in contact with us, and do not represent the original nature of this person. ”

Chen Fan is equivalent to throwing out another point of view, that is, some people are inherently good, and some people are inherently evil, since it is not absolute, it can also be understood that there is no such thing as good and evil in life, it is acquired by the environment, and there is a distinction between good and evil, in fact, in Chen Fan's view, it is meaningless to discuss whether human nature is good or evil, it is better to discuss how to lead people to good.

Chen Fan's words made everyone fall into contemplation for a while, but the person who was the first to distribute it said: "Your opinion is novel, what is your name?" ”

"In Xia Chen Fasheng, I have seen you." Chen Fan arched his hand and said.

"Okay, I've made a note of it, and I'll see you later." After speaking, he arched his hand and led everyone away.

Seeing that this person didn't even report his name, so he left, Chen Fan smiled, and didn't go to his heart, went out of Guozixue, met with Hou Feng and others, and found a relatively large inn nearby to settle down, and then took Huang Shi's letter, and went straight to Changgan Lane with Hou Feng and others, Chen Fan decided to meet You Ying, the killer recommended by Huang Shi, today.
