The poem I just read is from the five-character quatrain written by Luo Guanzhong for Zhuge Liang.

The full text is: Who will realize the big dream? I know it all my life. The grass hall sleeps enough in spring, and the day outside the window is late.

There are three interpretations and translations of this poem.

One is that life is like a dream, who can see everything in the dream? But I can know the laws of everything in the world.

In the thatched hall, the spring is strong, this nap, a few hours of sleep, when I wake up, the sun outside the window has turned west, the sunset is heavy, almost twilight.

This is one of the explanations.

Another explanation is who is the most enlightened and wisest person? I know it.

The third is that I am the wisest minister in the world, and the Lord I wait for every day is delayed.

Although there are many interpretations of this poem, it is probably that these three interpretations are more acceptable.

And why did Luo Guanzhong write that?

What is "who dreams first"?

Why did Lin Ke recite these two lines of poetry, instead of chanting "look up at the bright moon" or "the sun is at the end of the mountain"?

Because this poem contains a very high Taoist rhyme!

The rhyme of the road!

The big dream and great awakening in the poem are a Taoist view of life.

"Zhuangzi: The Theory of Things" says: "Fang Qi dreams, do not know his dreams, and occupy his dreams in his dreams, and then know his dreams; And there is a big awakening, and then I know that this is a big dream. ”

The original meaning is that death is a great awakening, and life is a great dream.

Therefore, Lin Ke chose this poem.

Since it is possible to become a Taoist Taoist, this kind of poem containing Taoist rhyme must be easier to gain favor, right?

Lin Ke finished reciting this poem, and then slowly turned his gaze to the plum tree in the courtyard.

This plum blossom tree, planted by Lin Ke's mother, is about two meters long, like a resolute girl, standing proudly.

If she is like a year old, the stars are flickering, and she has always been here.

And under the tree, there is the mother's bones, and above the soil there is a small wordless tombstone.

This was the final destination of Linko's mother.

Lin Ke's eyes were full of love and regret when he looked at the plum tree, and then slowly got up and walked over step by step.

As an actor, how can you best enter the play?

In addition to the external performance such as eyes, movements, demeanor, and language, the most important thing is the sense of substitution.

Lin Ke must be brought into the role of "Lin Ke" in order to have stronger emotions!

As he walked into the plum blossoms, his body slowly straightened, like a sword that had hidden its edge and slowly unsheathed for many years, and a sense of firmness and sharpness emanated.

The green shirt that has been washed many times and is somewhat white can't stop Lin Ke's dusty, sword-like momentum.

After a few steps, he stood in front of the plum tree, and stretched out his hand to pull the plum blossom that had just opened in front of him to the tip of his nose.

His eyes were slight, he leaned over to sniff lightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers.

Then let go of the plum blossom in his hand, watched the plum blossom slowly float down after shaking, and was silent.

He stood up straight, with one hand behind him, as if he was also a plum standing in the cold winter snow, with his own style and bones.

Then he chuckled, and a look of determination appeared on his face:

"The edge of the sword is sharpened,"

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."

His eyes were unusually determined, and after the chanting was completed, he raised his arms and stroked his palms, smiling and saying to himself: "Mother, I will definitely be like you, a proud plum in the cold snow." ”

But in an instant, he sighed heavily, as if he wanted to spit out all these years of humiliation and unwillingness to sigh together.

He sighed and shook his head.

And at this moment, a sound sounded in Lin Ke's head.

"Ding."

"The decision has been made."

Just as Lin Ke was waiting for the next sentence of the voice, he suddenly felt a flower in front of him.

When Lin Ke looked closely, he found that he was no longer in the small courtyard for chopping wood, but in a room.

He tensed up instantly.

There was a mahogany table in front of me, two people sitting facing each other, and on the table was a chessboard, with many pieces in black and white.

I saw a middle-aged man in black looking at him with interest and asking, "What's your name?" ”

"Junior Lin Ke, I've seen my senior."

Although he suddenly appeared here, Lin Ke did not panic, but continued his acting talent.

He put his hands together, first replied to the middle-aged man in black suit, and then turned to the man in white opposite him: "I've seen my seniors." ”

No matter what dynasty it is, the number of etiquette must be in place.

Because when Lin Ke was in that world, he was a top student in the acting department, and he had participated in too many costume dramas, so he naturally had a deep understanding of the strictness of ancient etiquette.

In terms of cooperation, it comes from the memory of "Lin Ke", and his etiquette performance is naturally decent, so that these two middle-aged people can't find fault.

After saluting, Lin Ke got up, and then looked at the faces of the two.

This middle-aged man in black clothes, his face is more fierce in Lin Ke's opinion, like he can pull someone by the collar and reason with his fist whenever he talks to someone at any time.

Its sitting posture is very grinning, ordinary like an uncle who can pull himself on the ground and sit on the ground at any time.

On the opposite side, the middle-aged man in white was very quiet, and there was an aura of not being angry and arrogant when he sat there.

Lin Ke felt that the man in white was not easy to get along with, but he felt very familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

The personalities of the two sides are so different that it is hard to imagine that these two people can sit together and play chess quietly.

When Lin Ke was thinking at high speed, he only heard the voice of the middle-aged man in black ask him in a slightly narrow voice: "Hehe, Lin Shangshu's son?" ”

"Yes, Senpai!" Lin Ke nodded lightly, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Uh-oh." Seeing this, the middle-aged man in black pointed to the man in white shirt opposite: "Don't you know who he is?" ”

Could it be someone from the Lin family?

Lin Ke's heart sank, and he couldn't help but look carefully at the middle-aged man in white.

This middle-aged man in white should be a scholar, with gray hair, and his complexion looks meticulous and stern.

It's just that between his eyebrows, Lin Ke is more familiar the more he looks at it, and the more he looks at it, the more familiar he becomes......

Immediately, he thought of someone!

Could it be......

"Haha, forget it if you don't recognize it!" The middle-aged man in black laughed, winced at the man in white shirt, and then looked at Lin Ke:

"Don't talk about those...... Lin Ke, I need you to do me a favor for something, and if you help me, I can promise you any conditions......"

"Of course, whatever I need to do and doesn't violate my heart, any condition is fine."

The middle-aged man in black smiled.

"Help? Any conditions? After hearing this, Lin Ke pretended to think about it, and asked suspiciously:

"The younger Lin Ke knows that he is shallow in learning, and he doesn't know how he can have such an honor...... If the juniors can help the seniors, they should do their best if they can. ”

To put it simply......

I think I'm average!

But if you think I can, then I'll do it!

Of course, you also want to give me the reward.

When the middle-aged man in black heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, good!" Ha ha! You're not just a shallow learner, and not everyone can say this kind of thing from the sharpening of the sword! ”

The laughter stopped, and he continued to point to the middle-aged man in white shirt opposite a little carelessly: "I made a bet with this person, that is, I will pick one person each, give you a year, and see how much you can learn. ”

Three games, two wins in three games!

One year!

Lin Ke's heart was pounding.

If memory serves, a year later will be his last chance to participate in the imperial examination for children, because he will be an adult next year!

This opportunity must be seized!

Leave the naturalization and then take the child exam!

While Lin Ke was thinking, the man in white glanced at Lin Ke without a trace, and a trace of a complicated fan-shaped diagram flashed in his eyes.

It includes various emotions such as disgust, disgust, regret, etc.

But because of his excellent cultivation skills, he was not noticed by Lin Ke, nor was he seen by the middle-aged man in black.

"How's that, do you want to participate?"

At this time, the middle-aged man in black pursed his mouth, sat back in his seat, and looked at Lin Ke with a smile on his face.

"Participate!" Lin Ke did not hesitate, and his tone was categorical: "Of course, the juniors know that diligence can make up for clumsiness, and stupid birds fly first, but juniors don't want to fight unprepared battles......"

"That is, you agreed?"

When the man in black heard Lin Ke's words, he showed a smile and said happily: "It's okay, your opponent is just a Confucian student." ”

Then he went on to add: "I won't let you lose, and I believe in my eye for people." ”

Confucianism...... Confucian??

Lin Ke's face was a little stiff, but he didn't have too much timidity, but he still said: "The junior is just an ordinary person......

Confucian ......

What is Confucianism?

That's someone who has already stepped into the path of Confucianism!

The Confucian realm is equivalent to the realm of Taoist children and the realm of novices...... It is the beginning of the path of spiritual practice!

Generally, at the very least, you have to pass the childhood test to have a chance to get a glimpse of the path of Confucianism and Taoism, and then step into this realm.

In comparison, Lin Ke is just an ordinary teenager!

Except for being handsome, it's nothing good!

"Don't be afraid, the things you compare don't involve those things." The middle-aged man in black had a smile in his eyes: "Anyway, it's good if you agree...... Haha, I didn't expect to find a treasure again. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man in black laughed a few more times: "Okay, now it's up to the old man to choose...... Lin Ke, just wait by the side, and see which of my Qi family's best old men will choose. ”

"Yes."

Lin Ke nodded when he heard this.

Even though he knew that his opponent was Confucius, he had no other ideas.

The best chance to get out of citizenship right now is now.

Gotta catch!

Lin Ke's eyes were calm, his face was natural, and his mind was beginning to think about the system and the choice just now.

Bet right!

When Lin Ke saw those three choices, he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and began to analyze them.

Whether it is the choice of one or two or three, there is a subject that is mentioned, that is, "unknown and strong".

He didn't know whether this strong man was a Confucian powerhouse, a Taoist powerhouse, a military powerhouse, or both.

If you don't know what to do, you can't rely on luck to make a choice, which is not in line with his steady character.

He is already living in his second life, and he doesn't want to hand over his fate to the so-called destiny.

He wants to hold these things firmly in his own hands, in front of his own eyes.

Therefore, he quickly made all kinds of deductions in his mind.

Unknown powerhouse?

Why are there unknown powerhouses?

You must know that Lin Ke is in the Lin Mansion!

Lin Mansion, where is Lin Mansion?

The head of the Lin family is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty, and whether it is cultivation or power, he is one of the pinnacle of contemporary times.

Idle people in this world dare to cast their eyes on the Lin Mansion at will?

The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Xing, and the Ministry of Industry, these six departments are the same as in the previous life.

What about other than that?

There are also six departments: the Taoist Buddha Department, the Demon Department, the Spirit Department, the God and Ghost Department, the Six Clans Department, and the Hundred Family Department!

The whole Taoist Buddha is only a ministry when it comes together, and the Ministry of Rites is directly a department, which can be compared?

Therefore, the "unknown powerhouse" that Lin Ke is most likely to come into contact with now is the Shangshu of several other departments!

plus the appearance of the middle-aged man in the white shirt......

The middle-aged man in the white shirt is Lin Shangshu, and it is very likely that he is Lin Ke's father!

And this middle-aged man in black must be one of the twelve books of work, households, and agriculture!

Thinking of this, Lin Ke looked at the middle-aged man in white shirt with a hint of shock.

But there is also rejoicing.

He had previously looked at the three options and guessed that the gaze of this unknown being was from the same person.

As a book, there must be a lot of people you know, so the results of your choices lead to different paths.

And Lin Ke took a trick!

I made a multiple-choice question, and all three roads were occupied!

He saw that the first choice was very simple, put down the firewood knife, look at the sky and say an ancient poem, and there was no requirement to say whether to sit or stand, and there was no requirement for the number of words in the poem.

And the second choice is simpler, which is to let yourself sit and chop wood ten times.

The third choice is to let yourself stand under the plum tree, first sing poems, then stroke your palms, and finally sing poems.

Lin Ke quickly made a clear execution route in his heart.

That is, make the second choice first, then make the first choice, and then slowly make the third choice.

At that time, he sat on a stool and chopped wood, ten times, and he had already chopped more than 100,000 times, and more than ten times it was as simple as breathing.

Then he put down the firewood knife, looked at the sky and read the poem, then got up to perform the third choice, got up and walked under the plum tree, and then read the poem.

And so all three were done.

Very reasonable!

It's smooth!

Much smoother than expected!

It's really in response to the previous sentence: only children do multiple-choice questions, and adults do.

I just don't know what the final decision will be.

Thinking of this, the voice in my head sounded again.

"Ding."

"The choice reward has been issued, please check."
