Chapter 17: Exchanging Truth for Words

Three to nine poles, ten to all also.

When Chen Nian arrived at the three miles of the Emperor Road, Chen Nian felt as if he had suddenly entered another world of time and space, and he was no longer on the Road to the Emperor.

Chen Nian hurriedly probed this strange place secretly with his eyes, and Chen Nian suddenly found that he could only see things within a radius of one mile in this place, and there was a vast white mist a mile away. Chen Nian looked hard to see the scene behind the white mist, but the white mist seemed to be able to absorb and swallow his gaze, and Chen Nian's shocked gaze quickly retracted.

Just as Chen Nian retracted his gaze, a shocking change suddenly appeared. A bustling street market suddenly appeared in front of me, as if there was a market, and there was an endless stream of people and pedestrians.

The old lady who sold vegetables was trembling and holding the fresh cabbage she picked in the vegetable garden early in the morning and said something to the aunt who bought vegetables from the big family in front of her stall, and then the old woman gave the vegetables to the guest and kept talking, and then the aunt gave the old man four coins for the vegetables, and quietly put two coins on the old man's stall when she left, and then Chen Nian saw the aunt turn around and smile, the world is not as warm and cold as this simple smile.

Chen Nian was shocked to realize why this place had changed again, and after thinking about it for a while, Chen Nian took a step and continued to walk towards the front of the market.

Walking to the old woman's vegetable stall, Chen Nian smiled at the old man, and the old man smiled at Chen Nian when he saw him smiling.

Looking further ahead, there was a cloth stall in front of him, and the owner of the stall was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and the middle-aged man seemed to be too honest and didn't know how to shout, and then I heard the man shouting: "Sell cloth, sell cloth······

Perhaps because there are fewer people selling cloth here, there are also two old women in front of this stall carrying cloth, and the old woman in a blue cotton cloth dress said, "Dealer, what is the price of your cloth? My old sister and I want to pull a little bit to make some clothes······

It seemed that the price of Nabu was too high, and the two old women bargained with the peddler, and finally heard the peddler say: "Your second elder will leave some soup for the younger generation, since it is your grandson who will get married soon, the younger generation will be happy, and I will sell it to you according to the price you have, and then I will have a happy wine at your house." So saying, he cut eight feet of red cloth for the old woman, and gave the old man a sturdy bag.

Just when Chen Nian withdrew his gaze from the cloth stall, he suddenly found that a down-and-out scholar in a corner in front of him was begging for something in front of a bookstall and the stall owner, it sounded like it was because of a lone book, the stall was priced at forty yuan and the scholar was penniless, but he really wanted this book, so he could say that he was determined to get it, and the scholar saw that the stall owner refused, so he had to promise that he would give it to him in the future, but the stall owner still refused, and the scholar had to say again:" Brother, the little brother is really shy, I really can't do it, then the little brother will write a pen for you, what do you think? If it doesn't work, then what do you say, what do I do, you see?"

Chen Nian stepped forward and took a closer look, the lone book in the scholar's hand that he was reluctant to let go was the "Li Twelve Episodes", Chen Nian couldn't bear the scholar begging for a book, and then said to the down-and-out scholar: "This gentleman, I don't know if you can write the beginning of "University" for the late students with a pen and write a pen for the late students?"

A strange light flashed in the scholar's eyes, and he only opened his mouth to the stall owner to get the pen and paper, but when the scholar looked around, he had to spread the paper on the ground, only to see the scholar roll up his sleeves and carry the pen, the dragon and the phoenix danced, the cup of tea was cool, and the scholar exhaled and put away the pen, and nodded to Chen Nian to take a closer look.

Chen Nian saw that "the way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection." Knowing and then there is determination, and then being quiet can be quiet, and then being quiet can be peaceful, and then being able to consider, and then being able to achieve. Things have a beginning and an end. Knowing the order, then the shortcut" Fifty-three words each gathered, each with its own merits, Chen Nian leaned over and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that each word seemed to be alive.

Chen Nian then asked the stall owner: "Stallholder, do you think my money is enough to buy that copy of "Li Twelve Episodes"?" After speaking, Chen Nian took out the broken silver that his mother gave him when he was about to go to Qiwen Hall from the mustard seeds, Chen Nian took out a piece of broken silver and looked at the stall owner, but the stall owner was slightly stunned when he saw the silver, and then shook his head, Chen Nian saw this and took out three pieces of broken silver again, but saw that the stall owner still shook his head, Chen Nian took out all the broken silver in the mustard seeds, about nearly twenty yuan.

Chen Nian said to the stall owner: "This is all the silver on me, have you seen enough of "Li Twelve Episodes"?"

At this time, the pedestrians on the street all looked at the silver that Chen Nian took out, and even the scholar looked incredible, and then the scholar seemed to think of something, and hurriedly looked at the stall owner, only to see the stall owner nodded, the scholar quickly put away the pair of words on the ground and handed it to Chen Nian, nodded to Chen Nian to indicate that it was enough, enough, and then picked up the book "Li Twelve Episodes" on the stall, and pulled Chen Nian forward.

As he walked, he saw a dazzling light in front of him, and the scholar stood in the light and said to Chen Nianyan: "You kid really don't understand the rules of this place, how did you come here? This is just a formation set up by Emperor Yao, and those people in there are all formation spirits, that is, the stall owner just now, who is constantly absorbing from the outside world to produce another external replica, how can you let them see the things outside and feel the breath outside." ”

The scholar laughed and continued: "This book, which I have begged the stall owner for nearly ten years, you helped me get it today, so let me tell you one more point, as long as you walk through this light, you will return to that road and continue to walk forward." Remember to stick to your heart, follow your heart, and then walk slowly and think slowly, and there is no harm in thinking more. After speaking, he saw the scholar withdraw from the light and return to the street, Chen Nian looked at the street again in the light, and saw that there was no street in front of him, where there was an old man selling vegetables, where was there a middle-aged man selling cloth and needless to say that the scholar, only the stall owner was left sitting there alone looking at himself.

Chen Nian walked towards the depths of the light, and slowly the light dissipated, and that day he saw the emperor road appear in front of Chen Nian's eyes again.
