"I'm going to take the train to Lao Tzu's hometown at night."

Chen Muling blinked: "Lao Tzu? ”

Li Shi's head: "The author of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Dan, the ancestor of Taoism, the Taishang Laojun in the mythological story, the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, recorded in the "Historical Records", he was a native of Chen Guoku County in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is now Luyi County, Nanhe Province, and I am going there tonight. ”

Chen Muling immediately said: "I know, the Dao Ancestor in Xianxia, hearing you say this, I also really want to go, from the capital, far?" ”

"It takes one night by ordinary train, and four or five hours by high-speed train."

"Unfortunately, I don't have that much time."

Li Shi invited Chen Muling to eat a government dish, and the restaurant found on the Internet, in addition to the high price, the others are very good, red oil loin, crispy beef brisket, sea cucumber tofu and other dishes are very delicious.

After eating, the two took a taxi back to the hotel.

When I arrived, I realized that Chen Muling had already left the room in the morning, and Li Shi looked at her in surprise.

Chen Muling's face turned red when he was looked at by Li Shi's gaze, and he hurriedly explained: "I want to watch another performance of the Dream of Red Mansions ballet at the National Center for the Performing Arts tonight, this place is so close, can I rest here with you?" ”

said, as if he was afraid that Li Shi would not believe it, and called up the electronic ticket she bought on his mobile phone to show him.

Li Shi said curiously: "It seems that you watched this last night?" ”

Chen Muling nodded: "Well, that's it, the original national style classical dance of the National Ballet of China, which is particularly good-looking, only performed for three days, I want to watch it again." You don't know, I also studied ballet when I was a child, but unfortunately I didn't stick to it. ”

Li Shi couldn't help but look at her figure: "You should look good when you dance." ”

Chen Muling said with a smile: "I now occasionally dance house dances, and I have posted it in my station b account." ”

Li Shi also looked politely for 1.8 seconds, and had already retracted his gaze: "Then you can rest here, anyway, I have to go to the train station at night." ”

When I got to the room, after entering the house, Li Shi walked in front, Chen Muling walked behind, and after coming in, she didn't close the door, and Li Shi didn't close it.

The two chatted for a while and began to do their own things.

Li Shi first summarized the harvest of today's visit, and then began to read.

Chen Muling seems to be editing videos with her mobile phone, probably making her vlog.

The performance of the National Centre for the Performing Arts started at 7 o'clock in the evening, and it was almost 5 o'clock when they returned to the hotel, so Chen Muling stayed in the room for more than an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.

Li Shi sent her to the door, and after the people left, he was immersed in the sea of books again.

It wasn't until half past seven in the evening, when the alarm clock rang, that he left the room and took a taxi to the bus station.

He sat in a soft sleeper this time.

After getting on the bus, I first observed the other three people in the same carriage, an elderly couple, a man in his forties, nothing special, he quickly lost the interest in observing, lay on his bunk, took out a Bluetooth headset and put it on, opened station B with his mobile phone, and began to watch "Peking University Open Class: Ancient Chinese History".

There are a total of 172 lectures in this video series, which are composed of videos taught by several professors of the Department of History at Peking University.

The first lecture is about "The Ancient Origin of the Chinese Nation".

The lecturer is Professor Yan Buke.

Li Shi checked the information of this professor, a professor of the Department of History of BJ University, a doctoral supervisor, the chairman of the academic committee of the Department of History, and a member of the Discipline Degree Subcommittee.

This is a master of historical academia.

Looking at the teaching video of the university teacher, Li Shi is experienced, and after clicking on the video, he immediately opened "1.25 times the speed".

However, a minute later, he set the speed to "1.5" again.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Muling suddenly sent a WeChat message: "After watching the performance, although it is the second time, I still think it is too beautiful, are you on the train?" ”

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and read this sentence twice to make sure that what she said before and after was not the same thing.

The corners of his mouth went up and he smiled.

Holding the phone in both hands, he enlarged the WeChat interface to full screen, and typed: "It's already in the car, it's really so good-looking?" ”

Chen Muling replied quickly: "There really is!" If it weren't for tomorrow night, I'd like to see it a third time! ”

Li Shi was also very curious about what the combination of ballet, a dance genre, and classical Chinese literary stories such as Dream of Red Mansions would be.

He replied: "I'm curious about what you said, why don't you help me pay attention to it, and the next time I perform again, I'll accompany you to watch it again?" ”

Chen Muling: "Okay! ”

After chatting for a few words, the treasure island girl said again: "Even if there is no performance, the next time you come to the capital, remember to play with me." ”

"Okay."

After watching the video for a while, he suddenly stopped after five or six minutes.

Back to the home page, I searched with a combination of the words "Chen Muling" and "Treasure Island", and soon found an up master called "Mulin-CC", looking at the avatar, it was Chen Muling.

Click in to take a look, she has posted more than 90 videos, with 126,000 fans, and the station B platform is certified as a "well-known vlog up master".

Looking at the most recent video, it was the video of her going to the National Museum to see the exhibition, which was released at 6:50 in the evening, and has 13,000 views so far.

Li Shi clicked in and watched it for a while, then exited again, flipped down the video she had posted before, and clicked in another random one.

Well, it happens to be a dance video.

Dressed in a white t-shirt and ultra-short light blue jeans, she showed off her slender legs and small waist, standing in an open space, dancing to the music.

This kind of dance is not strong, but it is quite good-looking, Li Shi has seen a little bit before, after all, he has always appreciated beautiful things with an open mind.

After reading it, Li Shi liked it and voted two coins.

The past two minutes and twenty seconds are more than two minutes that are pleasing to the eye, and there is no reason for prostitution in vain.

Temporarily putting down his hand, Li Shi changed from a lying position to a sitting position, his lower bunk, sitting to the right, can see the scenery outside the car window well.

But it would be ten o'clock in the evening, and it would be dark outside, and there would be nothing to be seen.

Everyone else in the carriage was asleep, looking at the occasional flash of light outside the window, Li Shi thought about his study plan for the next period of time.

It must be admitted that the capital is a great treasure, and this city has gathered the best resources in the country.

For example, museum resources, for example, library resources.

"In the future, if you want to complete the "Pre-Qin Cultural Context Map" with high quality, it is estimated that you will have to come to the capital again."

……

According to the records of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Chronicles of Luyi County, the Laozi Temple was built in the eighth year of Yanxi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, in 165 AD, when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty twice sent ministers to Kuxian County to worship Laozi, build Laozi Temple, and set up Laozi Temple Monument.

Since then, the Tang, Song, Jin, Yuan, Qing and other dynasties, all emperors have personally visited or sent ministers to worship in Laozi Temple.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty, Lao Tzu was even more respected, and in Luyi County, the construction of Lao Tzu Temple, the expansion of Lao Tzu Temple for the Laojun Temple, and later the edict to change the Laojun Temple to the Taiqing Palace.

Since the Jingkang Rebellion, the Taiqing Palace has been repeatedly destroyed, and then rebuilt several times, and now the existing building is repaired on the main body left in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Li Shi spent two days in Luyi County, mainly in Taiqinggong Town.

Among them, the artifacts that cost him the most time were not the palaces and statues of gods, but a stone tablet - the Tao Te Ching Inscription.

The full name of this monument is: "Tang Kaiyuan Shenwu Emperor Tao Te Ching Inscription Tablet".

It is a treasure and cultural relic left over from the period of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and its inscription is the interpretation of the Tao Te Ching by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

When visiting, Li Shi suddenly remembered the Internet he had seen in his mind for some reason, and thought, such a stone tablet engraved with the classics of Taiqing saints, and the emperor made a note, and was blessed with thousands of years of incense, put it in Xianxia, what's the matter, it must be a merit treasure.

Two days later, Li Shi took the high-speed train to Qufu City.

Qufu Confucius Temple, also known as "Queli to the Holy Temple", is now a 5A-level scenic spot, and Li Shi stayed here for two days.

Two days later, take the high-speed train to Jiangcheng City, Beihu Province.

This is the last leg of the tour.

At 9:20 in the morning, he got on the train at Qufu East Station, as usual, after getting on the train, he first observed the passengers around him, and then began to read.

After eleven o'clock in Shangqiu, he put down the "Fifty Years of Periodization and Discussion of Ancient Chinese History" in his hand.

This is a typical book with no conclusions, and each book has its own words.

"Although history has become a thing that has been approved in the past, there is no standard answer to the question of history."

"In this world, there is no absolutely objective legal eye to take care of thousands of years, or even millions of years of history."

He was a little emotional, and was about to record some thoughts, when the assistant Zhang Huijing sent a message.

"Boss, is it convenient to answer the phone? The final finishing touches of the house have been accepted today, and I would like to report back to you. ”

After Li Shi saw it, he got up and came to the middle of the two carriages with his mobile phone.

When he arrived, there was already a woman on the phone, found Zhang Huijing's number, and dialed it.

"Hey, you can say it."

Because there were still people, Li Shi deliberately lowered his voice, but he mainly listened to the assistant on the phone report the situation.

"That's pretty much it, boss."

"Well, you did a good job, the main thing is that the third-party test is also qualified, you just transfer the money, this time has worked hard for you, take a good rest for a few days, and don't arrange other jobs for you for the time being, you can take a five-day long vacation."

As soon as she heard that the boss was going to give her five days off, Zhang Huijing immediately said happily: "Okay, thank you boss!" ”

After speaking, she remembered something, and hurriedly added: "Boss, there is another thing, that is, in mid-January, you asked me to remind you in two months that the day of the UGC exam is approaching, and you have to prepare for studying." ”

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, remembering that today was March 15th, and immediately said, "Well, okay, thank you." ”

He hung up the phone, returned to his seat, and looked at his calendar again.

"This year's UGC exam is on April 17, and there is only a little more than a month to go, so it's time to start preparing."

"Time flies! I forgot to be busy, but fortunately I asked Zhang Huijing to remind me in advance. ”

Li Shi's "Art Qualifications Examination" was reported in mid-January, and two months passed at once.

The reason why I took the art teacher qualification certificate was to prepare for the road of calligraphy master.

Teacher, preach and receive karma to solve doubts.

In today's society governed by the rule of law, all professions must be licensed, and if you want to teach calligraphy in school, you must have a teaching certificate.

I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to preach in the future, but I'm going to be prepared in case I need it.

This is part of the advance layout.

"I applied for the high school art teaching qualifications, and I had to take three exams, "Comprehensive Quality", "Educational Knowledge and Ability", and "Subject Knowledge and Teaching Ability".

"When I return to Tanzhou, I will put aside the matter of history study for the time being, and first study the books used for the UGC examination in the study."

Although there is only one month left, Li Shi has bought two months of reference books and has not read much, but he is not in a hurry.

First, the accumulation of comprehensive knowledge in the past is deep enough, including the art history he learned when he studied painting before, which is helpful for his exams.

Second, his memory is getting better and better, and he is energetic, and if he studies to the limit, he can even study efficiently for 20 hours!

Thirdly, the UGC examination is counted as 120 points for each subject, and as long as 70 points are passed.

"The written test is still ten out of ten, and the key is the interview later."

"When the time comes, it would be nice if I could find a teacher to teach me experience."

Among Li Shi's college classmates, several of them went to become teachers after graduation, but the first thing he thought of was the "white" teacher Bai who has been "hot" recently.

Because they often talk about historical issues, the two have recently chatted with thousands of records every day.

He had never talked to anyone of the opposite sex at such a high frequency.

Li Shi picked up his mobile phone, clicked on QQ, and was about to send a message to her to mention this matter, when he typed a few words, and suddenly remembered that after a while, Alan Aya would take Teacher Bai to Tanzhou to find him.

"It's better to ask for experience in person for interviews."

"If you ask for advice face-to-face, you can't mention it on QQ, otherwise there is a risk of exposure."

Li Shi deleted the text, took a photo out of the car window with his mobile phone, and sent it over: "Boundless, go to Zhengzhou immediately, you can go to Jiangcheng at half past two at noon, and the last stop of the study tour." ”

Bai Manmao has resigned at home, soaking in the Internet every day, and replies very quickly: "How is it, how do you feel?" ”

Feel?

Li Shi thought for a while and typed: "I am looking forward to it, but I am also stunned." I have gained a lot from this study tour, and I have lived a very fulfilling life, looking forward to the end, but I am a little reluctant to end. ”

After sending it, he pondered for a moment and typed it again: "You have helped me a lot during this time, thank you!" ”

Bai Manmang was indeed very helpful to him, from the initial guidance, to the later online communication with him all day long, and finally Li Shi raised some difficult questions, she often helped to check the information, and even asked the opinions of several history professors in Dongguang Province through her connections, and then relayed them to Li Shi, sometimes some opinions, sometimes some literature bibliography that Li Shi needed.

Bai Dammang: "(Playful) What is polite to me, besides, let's say okay, when I go to Xijing in the future to do the theme of 'exploring the ancient capital of many dynasties', you have to help me, well, it's best to accompany me, to be honest, I'm curious about what kind of person is in reality!" ”
