Chapter Ninety-Three: My Heart Is Bright
Li Xiangyun didn't know what happened in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, and he didn't know that because of Xiao Ye, his already not low reputation in the Middle Earth Divine Continent had risen again, and he was "hated" by a group of people.
He was taking the second child to the southeast coast of Nanmenghuazhou.
Ten years later, he and Er Xiao came to a small country called Nanyu.
Nanyu is very small, but a dozen states, the capital of the country is called Meicheng, and the population is only a few hundred thousand.
Li Xiangyi took a detour to come to this southern Yu country, because Mr. Yang Ming, the Confucian sage, when he returned home from the southwest Tiandemon Continent, he had passed through the southern Yu country and crossed the river by boat.
When sailing at night, Mr. Yang Ming, who stood on the bow of the boat, felt the magnificent scenery of the world with the sparkling waves of the South Yujiang River and the floating moon in still water.
As a disciple of Confucianism, Li Xiangyi admires Mr. Yangming very much.
Gezhu Zhizhi.
Dragon Field Enlightenment.
Knowledge and action are one.
From his youth to preaching and sanctifying, to pacifying the chaos of Banzhou, and then to turning the light away, Mr. Yang Ming's life can be described as full of legends.
In particular, he pioneered the way of mind learning, found a new way, and revised and supplemented Confucianism to a great extent, and was sought after by Confucian students all over the world.
Mr. Yang Ming can be said to be the last saint of Confucianism.
Since he came to Nanmeng Huazhou, so close to Nanyu Kingdom, where Mr. Yang Ming finally turned into a Dao and soared, Li Xiangyun naturally wanted to come over and have a look.
On the border of Nanyu Country, there is an ancient road of Meiguan, which can lead directly to the southeast region of Nanmenghuazhou, although it is detoured, but the time may be a little faster.
When he arrived in Nanyuguo, Li Xiangyi took the second child to Meicheng, the capital of the country, where Mr. Yang Ming had stayed for several months to give lectures by writing books.
When they entered the capital, there was no need to ask them about it, but there were enthusiastic people, seeing that they were foreigners, and took the initiative to recommend Mr. Yang Ming's old lecture places for them to visit.
In order to commemorate the ancestors, the original ordinary courtyard has now been converted into a academy and named Yangming Academy.
Now it is the first holy place in the southern Yu country, not only the most outstanding students in the country, all come here to study and practice, but also countless tourists from other countries come every day to admire the holy miracles.
Li Xiangyi and the second elementary school followed the tourists and went to Yangming Academy.
Yangming College is divided into an inner and outer courtyard, the outer courtyard is a sacred temple dedicated to Mr. Yangming, for visitors to visit and worship, and the inner courtyard is a teaching place, only the college chair and students can enter.
Li Xiangyi bowed to Mr. Yang Ming, and then led the second elementary school to leave, without disturbing the teachers and students in the inner courtyard.
After that, he was going to go to the Nanyu River where Mr. Yang Ming had turned into a flying path, and took a look at the last place where Mr. Yang Ming stopped in the world.
On the way, he met an old master, and with a group of young men, he also went to the riverside to pay respects and pay tribute to Mr. Yangming.
The old master is obviously a pure inheritor of the mind, from Mr. Yang Ming's very beginning of the discussion of "new people" and "close to the people", to "the unity of knowledge and action", and then to "to conscience", all of them are the first to speak.
The young readers listened attentively.
When the old master finished speaking and took a break, a young girl who was smart and clever at first glance asked in a crisp voice: "Master, Mr. Yang Ming's so-called 'no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements; Knowing evil and knowing good is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing', what does it mean? ”
The old master took a sip of the water handed by the student, moistened his throat, and replied warmly: "There is no good and no disgusting body, which means that the essence of the human heart is as pure as white paper, and there is no difference between good and evil......
The girl interrupted: "Master, isn't this contrary to what is said in the "Three Character Classic", 'At the beginning of man, nature is good', then who is right and who is wrong?" ”
"Uh, this ......"
The old master obviously didn't expect the girl to move out of the "Three Character Classic", and he was a little asked for a while.
After all, the real source of the sentence "At the beginning of man, nature is good", is Mencius, and it is Mr. Yang Ming who talks about "no goodness and no disgusting body", both of whom are great sages, and he is not easy to make judgments as an old Confucian.
At the back of the study tour team, the cat national teacher sat on Li Xiangyun's shoulder, seeing that the old master couldn't answer, he couldn't help but send a message to Li Xiangyun: "Little Lizi, what do you think of this question?" Mao Mao remembers that there seems to be a great sage who said, 'At the beginning of man, sex is evil', who of them makes sense? ”
Li Xiangyi replied with a smile: "It is Xunzi who says that sex is evil, and he is also a great sage who shocks the past and the present, and the three saints each hold a theory, and I can't answer it." ”
"But no matter whether people are good or evil at the beginning, or whether there is no good or evil, it is always right to guide the hearts of all people in the world to be good."
"As for whether it is good or evil, or whether there is no good and no evil, leave it to the people of the world to judge for themselves."
The cat national teacher was a little surprised, after listening to Li Xiangyi's lecture in Hongzhou, he thought that Xiao Li Zi knew everything, and it seemed that he didn't know anything.
Li Xiangyun noticed its slightly exaggerated eyes, tapped its forehead, and said with a smile: "How can there be an all-knowing and all-powerful person who knows everything?" But remember to read more books, observe more world affairs, and always know more about things and clear some fog. ”
The cat national teacher pouted: "Hey, if you don't understand, you don't understand, what big reason do you have with the cat?" Cat Mao, I'm a Tianxiang national teacher, and I don't understand this? ”
Then it turned its head to look at Ning Xiaozhi next to it: "Ning Xiaogirl, do you think you are good or evil at the beginning?" ”
Ning Xiaozhi shook his head: "Big brother doesn't know, where will I know?" But I know that Big Brother and Lord Xianjun are both very good people! ”
Cats and cats despise the national teacher, sycophants!
Seeing that the old master thought for a long time, and seemed to be unable to tell for a while who was right and who was wrong, Mr. Yangming and Yasheng, Li Xiangyi didn't listen anymore, and led the second elementary school to go to the Nanyu River.
Eventually, he came to a place called Qinglongpu, and by the river, a large bluestone was erected.
There are eight big characters engraved on it: My heart is bright, and I can't say anything!
Seeing that the sky was gloomy and rainy, Li Xiangyi led the second child to leave, went to the border of Nanyu Kingdom, and went to the south of the Dengmeiguan Ancient Road.
In the evening, Li Xiangyi took Er Xiaogang to set foot on the Meiguan Ancient Road, and when he came to the foot of Meiling, it rained in the sky, and then snow fell.
Li Xiangyi glanced at the two children, and saw that they were not afraid of the cold, and said: "I heard that there is a temple on the ridge for resting, while the sky is still early and the snow has not yet fallen, let's rest for one night and then leave." ”
The cat national teacher is a civet cat, and he has cultivation in his body, and he is not afraid of severe cold and muddy mountain roads at all.
After Ning Xiaozhi reappeared in the world, she was no longer an ordinary little girl, and she could fly in the wind when necessary, so she had no objections.
Li Xiangyi found a dry and straight bamboo, used it as a bamboo cane, led two green donkeys, and led the way.
Ning Xiaozhi followed behind him.
The cat national teacher sat on the back of the big green donkey, as comfortable as a little mountain king, patrolling the mountains and forests while the snow was in the snow.
Before you know it, the snow is falling heavily, and soon more than three inches of snow will accumulate on the mountain.
I don't know if it's because of the rain and snow, or if it's a new road, there are only three Li Xiangyi on the entire Meiguan Ancient Road, and he walks slowly in the lonely mountain road.
When the first, second and third people followed the bluestone ancient road and climbed to the top of Meiling, the entire mountain range had already turned into a vast snowfield.
"Xiao Lizi, there is indeed a temple there, but there are no lights, and I don't hear any movement, it seems to be a deserted temple!"
Standing on the back of the green donkey, standing on tiptoe, he saw a temple on the top of the mountain from a distance.
The temple stood alone on the side of the road, long covered with thick snow, with no fire or human voices to be heard.
"It seems that it is really deserted, but it doesn't matter, such a deserted temple can also allow us to rest, we have the right to stay here for one night, and then continue to hurry after the snow has cleared tomorrow." Li Xiangyi replied that he didn't mind the dilapidated temple.
The cat national teacher naturally doesn't care, before he became a big demon in his cultivation, he lived in a worse place than this.
Ning Xiaozhi didn't mind, but this mountain barren temple reminded her of the original Thirty Mile Barren Pavilion.
Fortunately, now that she has her eldest brother and the national teacher by her side, even if the deserted temple is broken and the weather is cold, she doesn't have to be afraid.
"Big brother, I'm going to sweep the snow in front of the door!"
She took the initiative to open up the deserted temple.
Li Xiangyi replied: "Don't worry about the door, just clean up the house, let's just stay for one night, and leave tomorrow when the snow stops." ”
Then he didn't use the little girl's hands, and with a flick of his long sleeves, the door of the deserted temple was opened, and the dust, cobwebs, broken tiles, etc. in the temple were also empty.
"Alright, let's go inside."
The cat national teacher turned into a gray shadow and was the first to rush in.
Ning Xiaozhi followed, took out an iron pot from the small package, and prepared to cook rice.
Li Xiangyi first tied the two green donkeys under the eaves, and each gave them a heroic breath, so as not to be frostbitten by the wind and snow.
Then he also walked into the deserted temple, looked at the entire deserted temple, and found that the plaque above the gate had long been lost, and there was only a broken statue of the god on the shrine in the temple, and it was impossible to see which god was offered here.
Before walking the Meiguan Ancient Road, he only heard that there was a temple on the ridge, but he didn't hear who it was.
With the help of the cat national teacher, Ning Xiaozhi quickly cooked dinner, a pot of millet porridge, three grilled fish, three servings of bacon, and a few steamed buns, and the three of them enjoyed a different dinner with the light of the snow and the fire of the dead branches.
After the meal, Li Xiangyi was in charge of cleaning up, and the cat national teacher and Ning Xiaozhi had a snowball fight in the snow outside the temple.
After cleaning up, he leaned in front of the door, watched the two small commotions for a while, and finally returned to the temple, took out an idle book and read it.
On the second watch, the cat national teacher and Ning Xiaozhi were tired of playing, returned to the temple to rest, and soon fell asleep.
Li Xiangyun was not sleepy, and continued to read by the fire.
The reading volume has already exceeded 10,000 volumes, but for him now, as long as he finishes reading a book, he can still give birth to a heroic atmosphere, and then evolve a small world of Hongmeng.
Therefore, whether it is to increase his knowledge or increase the small world of Hongmeng, he has always insisted on reading every day, and he believes that as long as the accumulation is deeper, the deeper the foundation will be when he crosses the Shengfan Heavenly Trench in the future.
By the time the third watch arrived, the snow had slowly stopped, and he was sleepy, ready to put away his books and sleep.
At this time, on the mountain road to the south, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.
Maomao Guoshi and Ning Xiaozhi were both awakened.
"It's the third watch in the middle of the night, and it's snowing so heavily, how can anyone come? Little Lizi, isn't it a robber? The cat national teacher asked in a low voice.
The big cat's pupils not only did not have a trace of fear, but showed a little excitement.
Ning Xiaozhi's eyes were clear, and he was also a little curious.
Li Xiangyun shook his head: "No, there is only one ride to hear the sound of horses' hooves, and it is very anxious, it will not be a robber traveling, but it is a bit like a ......."
"On the run?" Maomao National Master interrupted, "Then if you run in such a hurry, there should be chasing soldiers behind, right?" That is to say, there is still a buzz to see? ”
After a little stroke, it is not a big deal to see the lively raccoon kitten, Li Xiangyi is a little funny, it is really a little wild cat, and he has been a national teacher for many years, and he also loves to play.
Just when the three of them were guessing, the rider had already run to the mountain and came straight to the deserted temple.
The fire in the temple had not been extinguished, and there was no way to hide it from anyone, so Li Xiangyi simply walked out.
"Hero, please save me, save the baby in my arms!"
A young and beautiful woman who escaped on horseback immediately shouted loudly when she saw Li Xiangyun and Er Xiao coming out of the temple.
She was holding a swaddling baby in her arms, with several blood stains on her body, and she was about to die, as if she had barely lifted her breath because she had met someone.
Li Xiangyi waved his sleeves lightly, sending a fresh breeze to catch the crumbling woman so that the baby in his arms would not fall to the ground.
The Cat National Master quickly rushed over and asked, "What's going on?" Is there someone chasing you? ”
When the woman saw that a little milk cat could speak, not only was she not afraid, but she was overjoyed, and knelt down and begged: "Lord Cat Demon, please save me, save my child, there is a group of murderers behind me who want to kill my mother and daughter!" ”
The cat national teacher originally wanted to see the excitement, but when he saw that it was a poor mother and daughter, and another murderer was killed, he immediately felt sheltered.
It raised its little paws and said in a soft voice: "Don't worry, there are cats here, no one can hurt you!" ”
While speaking, a group of people and horses had already rushed up from the mountain road in the south and went straight to the deserted temple.
Seeing that the scarred woman hadn't run far, those people's faces showed joy, and when they saw that there was a big one, a small one and a cat standing in front of them, some of them showed a hint of jealousy on their faces.
The cat national teacher asked loudly: "Is it you guys who are chasing and killing this mother and son?" ”
The person on the other side did not answer, but asked: "You are the one who responds to this demon girl?" Sure enough, it's a demon girl, we chased all the way from Chaozhou to here, and finally caught up, but I didn't expect that there were helpers buried! ”
"But tonight, no matter what, I will kill you, the demon girl, and I will never let you escape!"
The woman hid behind the cat national teacher and said loudly: "Lord Cat Demon, save me, they are all bad people, they want to rob my child, and they want to kill me, I have no power to run anymore, please save my child!" ”
The cat national teacher said with a heroic face: "Don't worry, the cat will definitely be able to protect your mother and daughter!" ”
