Chapter 2: The Palace of Contextual Studies
Next.
Li Ke took Xiao Li Bai and drove to Xianger Mountain with gifts.
To the foot of Elephant Ear Mountain, you can see that the mountain is like an elephant ear standing up, and there are faint clouds and mist on the mountain, in fact, this is the Haoran righteousness of the Wenmai Xue Palace.
Haoran righteousness is the foundation of the cultivation of this group of scholars in the cultural context. Reading through the classics of the sages and sages, you can enter the "Enlightenment Realm", and a mighty qi can slowly be born in your body. And then the higher the knowledge, the stronger the righteousness in the body. When the scholar's righteousness reaches a certain level, he will be crowned with titles such as "sage", "gentleman", "elegant confucian", etc.
Today's Tang Dynasty is in full bloom, and Yaru is out. Li Ke's teacher is Li Xianyi, the grandson of Li Shousu, a Confucian who was enshrined in the Confucian Temple at this time, and is currently the owner of the Xiangershan School Palace.
The Temple of Literature is the place where the supreme scholars of the cultural context are enshrined.
Above Yaru, there is a great Confucian Zhao Rui. Lu Deming and other four people, as well as the only contemporary Confucian saint - Wei Zheng.
Although the Li Mansion is a scholarly family, its collection of books is naturally less than half of the school's fortune. Therefore, although Li Bai has read many classics, he still can't reach the enlightenment realm.
The school palace looks like a mountain with clouds and mist looming from the outside, but when you enter the territory of the school palace, it is already different from what you see from the outside, with brilliant buildings and high-rise buildings. One of the tallest round towers is the study tower, which is also the purpose of Li Ke's trip.
After entering the school palace, Li Ke directly led Li Bai to the study building to meet Li Xianyi.
"Disciple Li Ke hasn't seen Mr. for a long time, and he misses him very much, so he came to see him." Today's Li Ke removed the brocade clothes he used to wear in business, only wore a cyan Confucian shirt, and the waist ring was engraved with a white jade plate with the word "Xue Gong", and saluted respectfully to the study building. The same is true of Li Bai behind him.
"These two are in front of me at once!" A word came from the study building, and with the gust of wind blowing, Li Ke and the two had already appeared on the roof of the study building.
The roof of the building is ventilated on all sides, it seems to be a pavilion, there is a desk in the center, a middle-aged man in plain clothes sits on the edge of the desk upright, serious and will not make people feel uncomfortable, showing everyone's demeanor. On the desk are pens, ink, paper, inkstones, a game of Go, and an empty wine jug. It is placed neatly and orderly, and the word "life" is written on the paper.
Li Ke stepped forward and saluted the middle-aged man, "The student has seen Mr. ”
The middle-aged man was Li Xianyi, and I saw him wave his wide sleeves and two more futons on the ground. Then motioned for Li Ke and the two to sit down
"Yuanbin is looking for me today, is it for the little guy to open his mind?" Yuanbin is Li Ke's word. Li Xianyi asked.
In this day and age, it is rude for people of status to call them by their first name. So people who know each other will generally call each other by their words.
"Exactly, the student wants Taibai to open his mind under the guidance of the teacher." As Li Ke spoke, he took out two sealed wine jars out of nowhere, and the word Longquan was printed on the lid. Li Ke pushed him to Li Xian's side.
Li Xianyi suddenly smiled, and in an instant, everyone's demeanor was not tight, and he directly opened a jar of wine. I only listened to a few sounds of "tons and tons of tons-", and then burped, "Good wine, Yuanbin is really one of the few students I have accepted who understands me, and I should take this matter." ”
Xiao Li Bai also swallowed his saliva secretly when he smelled the wine, but he was too young and his parents didn't allow him to drink.
"Taibai thanked the landlord's grandfather." Li Bai stood up and saluted.
"The little doll's mouth is so sweet, then you can finish reading these books first, don't worry, at the latest in two years, to ensure that you are enlightened." Li Xianyi said after a few more sips.
"Yuanbin will first find a place for Xiao Taibai to live, the school palace has not changed much over the years, you can take him for a visit."
"I wish Mr. an early appointment and the student retires." After Li Ke finished speaking, another gust of wind blew, and he had already arrived outside the study building.
This gust of wind is the style of turning books, and it is something that people who are called sages in the world will obtain, and it is infinitely useful, such as the teleportation used by Li Xianyi just now, which is just one of the uses.
