Chapter 12: The Future
Many Confucian students in Qingzhou left the Great Daozi Academy, but there was one person who did not leave, and this person was Xu Zhi. Xu Zhi was not far from Cao Yun's side, he came with Jia Xu and Liu Ye, Liu Ye also noticed it when he left the scene, but he sighed in his heart, but it was a pity for Liu Ye's talent, but most of the attention was still focused on Cao Yun.
Xu Zhi looked at Cao Yun, and felt more and more that Cao Yun was extraordinary, and there was a domineering aura emanating between his eyebrows, but it did not give people a feeling of arrogance and domineering, but there was still some affinity. Xu Zhizi knows countless people, but he has never seen a person with such a temperament. Xu Zhi felt a strong sense of friendship in his heart, and wanted to know Cao Yun better.
"Everyone now knows why I invited Cao Yun to participate in the celebration of the academy, a Confucian should have this qualification. You don't have to dwell on this, I, a Confucian scholar, are the most demanding of the state of mind. You care about these things all the time, when can you become a Confucian student, when can you become a Confucian, and when will I be able to attract great prosperity again?" Zheng Xuan said in a deep voice, and the Confucian students around him all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Zheng Xuan.
Today's Confucian scholars are good at gossiping, praising others, paying more attention to their own social status, not allowing others to be better than themselves, and often using some dogmas to restrain far from any peaceful and far-reaching state of mind, in a sense, these people can only be said to be scholars, far from being called Confucianism.
"Cao Yun, Cai Gong and I are going to meet some Confucians, and you and your companions will take a stroll around this academy. Zheng Xuan said to Cao Yun, and left with Cai Yong and the others. Then Cai Zhaoji glanced at Cao Yun, as if she wanted to remember Cao Yun's appearance.
"Brother Cao, I don't want you to raise Haoran righteousness and become a Confucian, admire and admire. Guo Xiao arched his hand to Cao Yun and said, his expression extremely admirable.
"Brother Guo, don't say anything to admire, I also developed Haoran righteousness by chance, if you really talk about Confucianism and Taoism, I'm afraid I'm not as good as Brother Guo." Cao Yun said with a smile.
"Brother Cao, after you go back, you have to talk about your chance, what kind of opportunity can make Brother Cao break through to Confucianism, this opportunity is enviable!" Pang Shiyuan said enviously.
"Brother Cao, you didn't even tell us about such a big thing as raising Haoran righteousness. Zhang Zixi wanted to make an angry appearance, but all smiles were on his face.
Just when a few people were talking and laughing, Na Jia Xu walked up and walked straight to Guo Xiao. Guo Xiao saw Jia Xu coming, stopped talking, and looked at Jia Xu lightly, Cao Yun and the others also stopped talking and looked at Jia Xu.
"Long time no see. Jia Xu said with a smile at Guo Xiao. Guo Xiao saw Jia Xu talking to him, but he just looked at it lightly and didn't react. Jia Xu only glanced at Guo Xiao, then turned to Cao Yun and said, "It turns out that Brother Tai is also a Confucian, I was offended a lot before, I'm really sorry." Jia Xu said and bowed slightly to Cao Yun.
Seeing this, Cao Yun thought about it, what is this Jia Xu going to do, this person is so generous?
Just when Cao Yun was puzzled, Jia Xu bowed his hand to him again and said loudly: "I heard that Brother Cao is good at poetry, and I also like to like poetry, and I always like to compare poetry with others, thinking it is elegant." It's really a blessing to meet Brother Cao today, why don't you and I have a competition and add some excitement to the academy, I don't know what Brother Cao thinks?"
Cao Yun snorted coldly in his heart when he heard this, turned around directly, and said at the same time: "Brother Guo, you are a middle school student in the academy, you should be familiar with the academy, take us around this academy." ”
"Of course I'm familiar, after all, I've been in the academy for more than a year, so I'll take you around the academy well, and the academy has several places with beautiful scenery. Guo smiled and said.
"Oh, what's the place?"
"Come with me!"
Cao Yun and the others left with a smile, completely ignoring Jia Xu, Jia Xu's hands were still arched with fists. Previously, because of his loud voice, he attracted the attention of some Confucian students around, who thought that Cao Yun would agree to the competition, but they didn't want Cao Yun to take care of Jia Xu directly. Seeing Jia Xu's angry look on his face, some Confucian scholars laughed quietly.
Looking at the backs of Cao Yun and Guo Xiao gradually moving away, Jia Xu's face became gloomy, and then he snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and walked in the other direction.
Guo Xiao first took Cao Yun and them to Shenyi Lake in the academy, the lake was green and long, and there was a trace of white gas around the lake. There is a hill in the middle of the lake, and the middle of the hill is empty, and a small lake is formed, and the lake is set in the lake. There are some trees and flowers on both sides of the lake, reflected in the lake water, lined with the slightest white gas, but also have some artistic conception.
Guo Xiao told Cao Yun and others, don't look at Shenyi Lake is not very big, but no one has ever been to the bottom of the lake. After all, a character like Zhangjun only exists in legends, and it is a big event to be able to come to the Great Daozi Academy. And such a character can't get to the bottom of Shenyi Lake. Of course, Cao Yun thought a little more, this dignified faction of rulers would definitely not come to explore the depth of a lake, and for the sake of it, I am afraid that I will not be able to know.
Just when Guo Xiao was about to take Cao Yun and the others to another scenic spot in the Great Daozi Academy, night fell, and bursts of cheers came from the Great Daozi Academy. Cao Yun glanced at the others and hurriedly walked towards the cheers.
At this time, it was almost evening, but because the sky in Luoyang had been gloomy in recent days, the sky and the earth seemed very dark. But the darkness of the night is not felt at all in the Daguozi Academy, and there are many red lanterns hanging in the academy, which are colorful and brightly lit. People come and go, and everyone's faces are filled with festive smiles, so it's not lively.
At the same time, there are constantly fireworks flying, and the fireworks are blooming in the air, so beautiful. Cao Yun and the others came to the cheering place and saw a woman holding the piano and playing on the stage built by the Daguozi Academy. Cao Yun looked carefully and found that the woman who was performing was that Ying'er.
At this time, the sky was drizzling, but people didn't notice it, they were completely attracted by the sound of the warbler, and immersed in such an artistic conception. At the end of the song, people are still unsatisfied.
The applause was unusually warm, and people shouted for another song, but Ying'er smiled slightly and slowly ended. Holding the guqin down, the drizzle fell on her hair, smiling lightly and brushing her hair, Cao Yun looked at the back of Lai Ying'er, only felt that Lai Ying'er was like above the clouds, beyond this red world.
Lai Ying'er seemed to feel Cao Yun's gaze, and looked in Cao Yun's direction when she stepped off the stage, but because there were too many people, Lai Ying'er didn't see Cao Yun.
It didn't take long for the celebration to begin, and it was not as complicated as Cao Yun imagined, and after a series of fireworks, the celebration began.
At the beginning, the academy naturally announced the gifts received, some of which were directly sent in the name of donations, some of which were carved from a thousand years of jade, and some of the strange things obtained from the Hanpu Mountains, etc., which really opened Cao Yun's eyes, and they were all amazed. Subsequently, some of the famous literati and writers who came to participate in the celebration wrote poems one after another. After some elegance, Zheng Xuan recited three sacrificial texts, one for heaven and earth, one for sages, and one for Confucian scholars.
Zheng Xuankou recited the sacrificial text, and a wave of heroic aura emanated, and the Confucian students in the audience all had a feeling of being shaken. Looking at Zheng Xuan's righteous recitation, Cao Yun felt that his thoughts were beating, as if his thoughts were intertwined with Zheng Xuan's thoughts, wrapped in a drum of cool air.
Cao Yun felt that his wisdom seemed to have increased, and listening to Zheng Xuan's recitation, the aura in his heart also surged, and he was about to rush out of his body. It is to be with Zheng Xuan's heroic righteousness, in this heaven and earth.
At the same time, Cao Yun's gaze became deeper and deeper, and he was looking at Zheng Xuan. But he felt that he saw an era when Confucianism and Taoism flourished and Confucianism was everywhere. Countless righteous qi runs through the heavens and the earth, people do not need the Tao and the law to restrain them, everything is righteous and beautiful, and everything is shining under the sun.
