Chapter 5, the beacon fire under the mountain will rise

The days and nights are short and long, so why not travel with candles.

The scene when Chen Nian vomited in the early morning really frightened Mr. Kaoting.

During the morning class, all the children in the school should read the words "self-denial and retribution, prudence in words and deeds" in the Detang.

All the disciples have a futon with a total of eleven sheets, and those scholars are two people and one stool, sitting in the hall, looking at the meaning of the master's words and then introspection.

The first point is: whether there is a fault in your words and deeds yesterday or whether there is a fault for not checking, if so, how should you remedy it or how you should decide again when you meet this colleague next time.

The second is: then look at what you are not doing well and whether there is a difference between what you teach and what you say in the book, and if you think about whether there is a problem with what you do or whether there is a flaw in what you say in the book.

Third, after thinking about what you saw yesterday, it is very reasonable to see that others are safe and proper in this matter, because thinking about what is wonderful about other people's handling of things like this, if you face this matter with yourself, what will you do, and can you be so flawless? Will you be able to do this in the face of such things in the future? However, seeing that others are not very right and not very in line with etiquette, because you think about what others are wrong and why they are wrong, how should you face such things yourself?

In the end, everyone thinks about what they are going to do today, what to learn, how to do it, and how to do it not badly.

This is the morning class that everyone in the school must do every day, starting from the beginning of the hour to the end of the first hour, during the period, if there is something that you do not understand, not clear, you can ask others for advice after the morning class, if the consultation is fruitless, you can ask the teacher again after lunch.

After the morning class, from the beginning of the hour to the beginning of the afternoon, the scholars could play in groups of three or five in the courtyard outside, and the disciple should first review yesterday's homework and remember all the straight paths, so that they can be free.

At this time, only Mr. Zhou and Mr. Kaoting were left in the hall.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and the worried Mr. Kaoting couldn't calm down.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhou asked, "Kaoting, what happened? Why are you so absent-minded?" ”

I saw Mr. Kaoting smile bitterly again and again, spreading his hands.

"Mr. Zhou, early this morning, I practiced with Chen Nian in the courtyard to absorb the primordial yang purple qi, but when Chen Nian was practicing, I couldn't even absorb a trace of the primordial yang purple qi, and even I felt that if I wanted to absorb the heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi, it might be difficult to reach even the usual twenty percent. ”

And when I stopped, I found that the amount of Yuan Qi that Chen Nian Tu Na was much higher than that of ordinary people, and most of the Yuan Qi flows of others were the thickness of chopsticks, while the Yuan Qi flow of Chen Nian Tu was the size of a bowl. ”

"Mr. Zhou, I have seen a lot of cultivators since I practiced, but I have never heard of anyone doing this, dare to ask Mr., where is this Chen Nian from?"

Mr. Zhou stood up, put his hands behind his back, and turned to look at the statue of the master.

"Chen Nian already knew about this in the morning, and you don't need to be surprised, he let him go out to study for three years after he stayed in my academy for three years. In six years, someone will come and take him away. ”

"What you see today, don't talk to others, just go with him on weekdays, and if there are outsiders present, you must try your best to cover it up to prevent Chen Nian's matter from leaking out. ”

Mr. Khotin nodded, his gaze deep and inexplicable.

"As for Chen Nian's identity, he is indeed a native of Donghu Chenjiazhuang. However, I don't know the origin of his heels very clearly, I have deduced it with the Tianyi Dao people, but the fog is full of avenues, and the power of the avenue is overwhelming, and there is a faint aura of innate chaos behind the formation, Rao is the two of us forcibly calculated, and even by a wisp of the avenue killing machine, I still only got a trace of the opportunity, and it seems to be related to the catastrophe of destroying the law in the worlds. ”

When Mr. Kaoting heard this, he had to be speechless, the information revealed in Mr. Zhou's words was too shocking, and the two of them couldn't see the origin of Chen Nian together, but instead caused the two of them to suffer a wisp of injury.

"Unquestionable, unaccountable, maybe only those few may understand. ”

Mr. Kauting felt heavier and heavier, he knew exactly who 'those ones' were. For such a person, cause and effect arise, and when he thinks about it, he only feels that his head is big, and the sense of crisis is cold.

Mr. Zhou, turned around and looked out of the mountain gate from Detang, thinking about it for the rest of his life.

"Kaoting, there is a 'guest' coming, you have a good reception, the guest is a guest, and the intention is not to come. ”

In the distance, a man with a sword came slowly from outside the mountain gate.

The sun is in the sky, and the man is on the earth, but the two are also not to be looked at.

Just because, that man's sword was in the sky.

Suddenly, that person's momentum disappeared in an instant, and he completely converged with ordinary people.

When Mr. Kaoting outside the hall saw the visitor, the heavy mood just now slowly dissipated, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"That's not what I'm supposed to think about. ”

Mr. Kaoting laughed and said, "I am not happy to have friends from afar." Brother You'an has been doing well lately. ”

"It's good, it's good. ”

The east wind sends guests to come, and the visitors chant the east wind, "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain." ”

Because there are no guest rooms in the Qiwen Hall, the swordsman You'an who came yesterday is seated on the hill behind the school.

"You'an, a person from the Yaoyang Kingdom, the three subordinate countries of the Hengqing Kingdom, once saved the building and toppled the sky in the chaos of fire and water, and saved the dying country. Ranked as the general of the Bright Sun Kingdom, he must be crowned the protector of the country. ”

"Kaoting, You'an is coming to the mountain at this time, what should you think?"

Mr. Kaoting and Mr. Zhou sat on the same mat and drank tea, Mr. Kaoting got up and knelt and sat with a pot in his right hand and a sleeve in his left hand.

When Kaoting heard this, he didn't see the slightest stagnation in the movements of his hands, and he couldn't stand up his head.

"What Mr. said, I have also heard a little, the true star country of the evergreen country under the mountain wants to march in the Yaoyang country, and Brother You'an came to the school at this time, I am afraid that the cause and effect of the Yamashita dynasty will be added to the body. ”

"However, since the Yaoyang Guoan was in the country, Brother You'an resigned from all his official positions on the grounds of being injured during the war, and has been traveling around the countries in cloth for a long time. ”

Mr. Zhou picked up the teacup, tasted it, and said straightly, "Clear tea, fragrant." After turning around, he looked up at Kaoting.

"That Kaoting, do you know that although You'an resigned from his official position, Yaoyang Kingdom has never removed him from the position of protector of the country. ”

Mr. Zhou drank tea again and spoke again

"What kind of threat and deterrence is a white jade true body swordsman with a 'careless' body and a monk in the early stage of enlightenment to other countries or other forces?"

Zhongyu Li 12 poems said: Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. After the incident, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are hidden.

Kaoting suddenly realized.

"I'm going to ask Brother You'an. ”

The knot is in the human realm, and there is no noise of cars and horses.

The grass thatched cottage on the back mountain, unobstructed in front of it, has an unobstructed view, and then the strange stones stand in a forest, and the jungle rushes to the sky in all directions.

Kaoting came to the front of the thatched house along the path, and saw You'an and the thatched house sitting cross-legged on the sword attached to the leg to meditate and enlighten.

You'an's sword qi was all over the place within three feet, and the sword intent was pervasive, and there seemed to be a slight crack in that space inside.

Kaoting waited, and after a moment, Youan paused.

Seeing this, Kaoting smiled and said bluntly

"Brother You'an, since more than 20 years ago, the two of us met in Zhoushan Country as I know, since then I traveled all the way to the middle of the country when half a year ago, all kinds of wonderful places on the way, now I think about it is also vividly in my mind. ”

I saw You'an get up and salute with a sword, and said straightly, "It's like passing away, time is unstoppable." ”

"More than 20 years ago, Kaoting was full of style, just like March of the year, the warbler flew and the grass grew and the willows were still there, and the road was uneven, with a sword in hand and righteousness in the body, which was more martial than me. ”

"This, today, Kaoting Zhimao sees stability in the calm, warm as jade, changed, changed. ”

"Back then, Jin Ge Iron Horse swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger. Today, I know it's me. Over the years, I have been paraded all over the world with swords, and fortunately, I know that I am me. ”

"Today, I am living in the deep mountains and flying waters, concentrating on practice, self-reliant, and so unhappy. ”

Kaoting arched his hand, "Brother You'an, Mr. Zhou is still waiting for us." We might as well talk as we go. ”

"Okay, let's go. You nodded frequently.

The two then descended the mountain together.

"Brother You'an, I didn't know your deeds when I marched together, but when you were a heroic knight, one person fought with a sword and a horse across the world. But then I came to Hengqing Country and slowly heard some of your reputation, you are famous, Brother You'an, you can hide me. ”

"Oh, Kaoting, tell me what you've heard?"

Kaoting said while smiling and pointing at You'an

"Brother You'an flew to the enemy's camp with fifty horsemen, and his brother took fifty to fifty thousand, captured the traitor alive and left safely, without any casualties. It can be the next wonder in ancient times. ”

No matter how far the journey is, it will eventually come to an end, but time will never end.

It is only half a minute from the back mountain to the school.

You'an and Kaoting came to the door of Detang.

The door of Detang was opened, but Mr. Zhou was already pouring tea and serving guests.

Kaoting stopped outside the door to signal You'an to advance, and after You'an entered, Mr. Zhou performed a junior salute.

Zun said: "The junior martial artist Xin Youan has seen Mr. Zhou. ”

Mr. Zhou smiled calmly and said, "You'an, don't be polite, I only have coarse tea and light rice here to entertain guests." Let's sit down and taste the old four kings, who have just picked and brought new tea not long ago. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Then You'an sat down.

Mr. Zhou sat on the right, You'an sat on the left side of the same seat, and Kaoting sat behind Mr. Zhou, and the three of them sat together.

Mr. Zhou opened his mouth and asked, "You'an has come here this time, do you have any intentions?"

You'an put down the teacup and asked, "The juniors came here for three things, one is to ask Mr. to solve his doubts, the second is to sit with Kaoting and discuss, and the third is to ask the sword with the senior disciple Cui Xin. ”

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he said straightly, "You'an can be said, I must know everything." ”

"Dare to ask sir, the true star is attacking me, the true star is strong and my country is weak, what should my country do about this?"

Mr. Zhou shook his head, took a sip of the teacup, and then spoke.

"You can rest assured that this matter is you'an, the real star is attacking your country, you can rest assured, your country will lose up to eleven territories in this battle, and the foundation of the country will be unharmed. ”

"Sir, why is that?"

"The founder of the Shining Sun Country is a descendant of the ancient emperor of our human race, and the world will definitely not let it be destroyed. You can rest assured. ”

You'an got up to thank him, and the three people behind him didn't say a word and only did the act of tasting tea.

The tea was tasteless, and the three of them stopped.

Mr. Zhou got up, and the two of them got up with him.

"Then, the tea is finished, it's not bad, this place will be handed over to you and the other two. ”

"By the way, the place is small, don't tear it down for me. ”

Leaving Kaoting and You'an with a back out of Detang, they were nowhere to be seen in the blink of an eye.

Kaoting and You'an looked at each other and smiled, and then sat down.

"Kaoting, what topic do we use today to make our views on today's Taoism?"

Kaoting frowned and thought for a moment, that is, said:

"If not, then it will be regarded as 'self-cultivation to govern the country'?"

You'an shook his head with a smile and joked: "Kaoting is still as 'empathetic' as it was back then." Okay, today, according to what you said, to 'self-cultivation to govern the country'. ”

Now that the topic has been decided, the two of them immediately sat upright.

"Self-cultivation governs the country, self-cultivation: self-righteousness, wisdom, view, and righteousness. However, the theory of governing the country should be based on strengthening the army, supplemented by revitalizing agriculture, and followed by businessmen. Inside and outside, slowly and gradually. It is the policy of strengthening the country. ”

"Kaoting, what do you think?"

The two people in the room didn't realize that at this time, there were lotus flowers in the room out of thin air, and the room was full of dark fragrance.

It is said that Kaoting was still pondering You'an's words, but he really didn't hear it.

You'an, I had to smile bitterly when I saw this, it's still the same, wait.

After a few moments, Khao Ting woke up from his contemplation and saw You'an staring at him, his eyes moving. "Brother You'an's high argument is really like chewing bacon, it is really delicious. Forgive me, forgive me. ”

"Although, what Brother You'an said is really high. However, I have a different opinion. ”

"Those who cultivate themselves should be: poor heavenly principles, enlightened people, speak holy words, and pass accidents. Know before you go. The upper and infinite, Taiji, and the lower as for the grass, tree and insect are also reasonable. If you don't read a book, you will miss a book of truth, if you are not exhausted, you will miss a reason, and if you are not qualified, you will miss a truth. You have to deal with him one by one. In the middle of heaven and earth, the upper is the sky, the lower is the earth, and there are many sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers, grasses, people, birds and beasts, all of which are metaphysical instruments. However, in this metaphysical instrument, there is a reason, and this is the metaphysical way. The so-called Gewu is to be poor in this metaphysical instrument, and it is just that metaphysical truth. Appreciating things and learning is the way to self-cultivation. ”

"In addition, governing the country should be people-oriented, people-known and people-oriented, teaching and educating people, and being a person, followed by strengthening the army, rejuvenating agriculture, and businessmen. Governing the country is a matter of unity, and words and deeds are consistent. ”

Mr. Zhou, who was sitting under the locust tree in the courtyard, was busy again, but I could only cover up nine times out of ten such visions.

Just because, the golden lotus is highlighted everywhere, the sky is ninety-nine miles in a radius of auspicious clouds, and there are Rui beasts to congratulate him.

After Kaoting finished speaking, he saw that You'an nodded thoughtfully.

After that, You'an got up and thanked him, "There is a saying that 'listening to your seat is better than reading a book for ten years', and this saying is like an initiation, which makes me feel like I have a sense of enlightenment." ”

"Seeing Kaoting's words today, this trip has exceeded expectations. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”

I saw You'an suddenly rush out of the Detang with an arrow step, and then the sword arrived at the back mountain. Kaoting is also in a hurry to fly in the sky.

"Kaoting, protect the Dharma for me. ”

Naturally, You'an has also entered a dust-free realm.
