Along the way, there was nothing major happening, and the group stopped and stopped, and it seemed to be a tour of the mountains and rivers. Within a few days, he came to Xuancheng. Although this Xuancheng is close to Jinling, it is not the capital after all, and it is naturally not as prosperous as the capital, but it is also a good place to go. This humane Xuancheng is naturally indispensable for good rice paper and pen.

Zhu Yunwen was born in the royal family, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone used by the royal family are all kinds of tribute. The pen is like a Xuan pen, a Raozhou pen, an inkstone is like an inkstone, a inkstone, and a paper is like a rice paper. Since ancient times, Xuan paper and Xuan pen have been royal tribute, so Xuancheng is also full of literary style. Except for He Xiong, all of them were scholars. Zhu Yunwen studied under Huang Zicheng since he was a child, and his literary style is a leader among people; Xi Zhen has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but he also studied literature with his teacher, and he is also full of economy; not to mention Qi Tai. The scholar and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are none other than the chivalrous man and the sword, gun, sword, and halberd.

Therefore, the group decided to stay in Xuancheng for a few days, this stay, everyone also considered, Zhu Yunwen thought that it was not appropriate to go to Ningbo Mansion quickly, just because most of the people in the rivers and lakes now go to Ningbo, if they do not find it after a few days, many people will withdraw, and then go again, you can also save some unnecessary trouble and danger. Of course, everyone agrees with this point of view.

As soon as everyone arrived in Xuancheng, they proposed to go to Jingting Mountain to play. This Jingting Mountain is named after Tang Qinglian's "Sitting Alone on Jingting Mountain": its poem says: The birds fly high, and the lonely clouds go alone. I don't get tired of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain. Therefore, when literati and writers come to Xuancheng, they must come to Jingting Mountain to imitate Li Taibai's poems.

When everyone was in the city, they heard all the people talking: This Mr. Xizhi is lecturing on Jingting Mountain. Zhu Yunwen asked Huang Zicheng: "Does the teacher know why this Mr. Xizhi is allowed to be a person?"

Huang Zicheng said happily: "Hui young son, Mr. Xizhi I know, and he is also a virtuous name, this person's surname is Fang, his name is filial piety, his name is Xizhi, and he is a native of Ninghai, Taizhou Prefecture. I have always admired this person, but I had a relationship with him in the court a few years ago, and then I didn't have the opportunity to meet again. I don't expect to give a lecture in Xuancheng today, and I will wait for the present. Everyone wanted to hide their identities, so they agreed to call Zhu Yunwen a young son.

Qi Tai also said: "This Mr. Xizhi has a good character, elegant and elegant, and I also admire him." ”

When everyone heard this, they wanted to go to Jingting Mountain to see this filial piety.

After about an hour's effort, everyone still came to Jingting Mountain, and the closer they got to this Jingting Mountain, there were more and more guests playing, all of whom were mainly scribes and students. In the bustling room, I heard that this filial piety was lecturing in the Taibai Pavilion of Jingting Mountain, and everyone came to this Taibai Pavilion with the flow of people.

This Taibai Pavilion is in the waist of Cuiyun Peak in Jingting Mountain, backed by Cuiyun Peak, there is an open space in front of the pavilion, and about 100 people sit on the ground. A piano platform is placed in the middle of the pavilion, and incense is burned on the piano platform, and a guqin is placed. There is a table on the right side of the piano table, and the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and tea fan on the table. There was a person sitting at the front of the table, and he looked at this person: about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a round face and a slight beard, and his eyes were bright, and he was not wearing a Taoist uniform, but he was combing his hair in a bun. The eyebrows are heroic, and the gestures are full of everyone's demeanor.

I saw Fang Xiaoru raise his hand, and all the people sitting in the open space were quiet, and Fang Xiaoru's voice was like a bell, and he said: "In the past, the rooftop was sleepy, and the night was in the middle of the curtain, and the boy was holding the sword in front, and it was appropriate to sleep." After a long time, the boy also slept, leaning on the bed, and his sound was like thunder. I was shocked, thinking that the wind and rain were coming. Sit with your knees crossed. There is a sound of flying in the ears, such as a song and a complaint, such as a grievance, brushing the humerus and stabbing the flesh, and plopping the face. The hair stood on end, the muscles trembled, and the hands clapped together, and the palms were wet like sweat. Smell it, red and bloody. I was stunned and didn't know what to do. The boy shouted: "I am suffering from things, and I urgently ask for candles." "The candle is here, and the curtain is open. Thousands of mosquitoes, all gathered next to the curtains, see the candles scattered, such as ants and flies, sharp mouths and stomachs, full of red and round red. ”

He scolded the boy and said, "This is not my blood, and he is not careful, so he will let it in." And they are also different, to prevent it, can it be harmful?" "The boy plucked the artemisia and bundled it, put the fire at the end, its smoke was full of gloom, left and right, around the bed for a few turns, chased the mosquito out, and regained life and said: "You can sleep, the mosquito has gone." "Shengnai is about to sleep, calling the sky and sighing: "Tianhu produces this small thing and poisons people?"

He also said: "When the boy heard this, he was dumb and smiled and said: "Why should the son treat himself too thickly, and You Tianzhi is too solid! The big one is a rhino elephant, the strange one is a dragon, the violent one is a tiger and a leopard, the tamed one is an elk and a tamarin, the feathers are a bird and a beast, and the naked one is a worm. Although the size and size of the short are different, but the form is one in it. Looking at it from the perspective of the self, then people are expensive and things are cheap, and from the perspective of heaven and earth, which is more expensive and which is cheap? The things of water and land, living and the like, are all not high and lowly nets, mountains and seas, frogs do not escape their lives, wild geese do not hide their traces, and those who eat things can be described as Tai, and things can not be eaten by people, and the mosquito raises its beak, that is, it is called to the heavens; those who make things eaten by people also call out to the sky, then the punishment of heaven should be like yes? And the food of things is on people, and the food of people is on things, and the difference is also good. And the mosquito is still afraid of fear, dare not show its shape during the day, look at the people without seeing, take advantage of the difficulties of people, and then have to ask for help. Today, there are those of the same kind, who sip chestnuts and drink soup, and those who have wives and raise children, and those who are dressed and look the same. The day is like a day that takes advantage of its kind and mourns it, sucks its ointment and burns its brain, so that it starves in the grass and fields, wanders away from the road, and calls the heavens to meet each other, and there is no mercy. Smell the same kind of thing, and if you don't hear it, how can you be the way of a gentleman who first comes after the body?"

Finally, he said: "Tiantai was born on the ground, knocked his heart too much, went out of the house in clothes, and sat all night." ”

Everyone listened to Fang Xiaoru's speech, but there was no one at the banquet, and there were more and more students gathering. Xi Zhen couldn't help but marvel, this Mr. Xizhi is clever, and he will be the way of dealing with the world in the story, and see how Mr. Xizhi interprets it.

Seeing that Fang Xiaoru finished his story, he took a sip of tea and asked: "This Tiantai student and boy, who knows the way of heaven? Who knows the reason? Who understands orthodoxy?" Everyone was silent.

Fang Xiaoru said again: "Master Yun, preach and receive karma to solve doubts, so as a teacher, preaching is also the first to bear the brunt. He also said: "There is a distinction between high and low, but between man and the way of nature, how can man be distinguished from high and low? Man, all living beings and all living beings are the essence of nature, and there is a distinction between high and low? Heaven and earth are created in the heart of the people, and the heart of the person is born to be good, this is an unchanging principle. ”

And he said, "As is all things, so are men, so are kings, and so are their subjects, and therefore all creatures are equal." Don't take fish and shrimp as cheap, and don't respect people for being born. And don't be kind to yourself. This is the law of all things. ”

Everyone thanked them, and Zhu Yunwen arched his hand and asked: "Dare to ask the teacher, Mencius has clouds, the people are precious, the monarch is light, and the society is second." What do you mean?"

Xiaoru glanced at Zhu Yunwen, secretly surprised in his heart, and kept secretly saying: "This person has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix," and then said: "Looking at it from the perspective of the world, the king and the people belong to the community, but where does the king, the doctor, the clothes, the food, and the people come from? Therefore the people gave birth and were blessed by the king. If a fish is in water, if there is no water, then the fish cannot live, and if there is no fish in the water, how can there be the true meaning of water? ”

Everyone is like this, and they ask more questions about filial piety, and filial piety also answers their doubts one by one. At the end of the day, everyone thanked the teacher and dispersed. When everyone dispersed, Zhu Yunwen stepped forward and said: "Thank you Mr. for your teachings, Mr.'s words, so that the late life suddenly opened, if Mr. does not give up, the late life is willing to serve Mr., I don't know what Mr. wants?"

Xiaoru returned the salute, saw Huang Zicheng behind Zhu Yunwen, and then looked at the young man in front of him, and he had already guessed eight or nine points in his heart, so he said: "This is very good." He said to Huang Zicheng again: "Brother Zicheng, don't come unharmed?"

Huang Zicheng was very happy, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Xizhixian, I haven't seen you for a few years, do you remember Brother Foolish?"

Xiaoru said with a smile: "A few years ago, Jinling was goodbye, Brother Zicheng's demeanor was not reduced, his brother was dull, he traveled between the rivers, lakes and seas, and his brother lived in the temple. ”

Huang Zicheng laughed: "There is no distinction between high and low talents, so what now?"

Everyone laughed.
