Chapter 8 The Meaning of Reading

The next day, Fu Qingyun got up early, feeling that his legs and feet were much more dexterous than yesterday, and he no longer needed crutches to support him. Uncle Lin saw that he had moved freely, thinking that he had just broken his foot on the road yesterday and had recovered after a night's rest.

After breakfast, Fu Qingyun prepared a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, called Lin Zhengjun, and said, "Zhengjun, starting today, I will teach you to read and learn words." ”

"Okay, good!" Lin Zhengjun cheered.

"Zhengjun, do you know what the point of reading is?" Fu Qingyun asked.

Lin Zhengjun grinned and said: "After reading books, you can write good articles, you can be a big official in the court, and you can live a good life that everyone envies." ”

Fu Qingyun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zhengjun, studying is not to write splendid articles, let alone to be an official to enrich oneself and live a decadent life. If so, don't read a book. ”

"What's the use of reading?" Lin Zhengjun asked with wide eyes.

Fu Qingyun looked up at the door, his eyes gradually empty, and he remembered the bits and pieces of his previous life. Since childhood, his parents suffered misfortune, he was brought up by an aunt in an orphanage, and the proud son in the school suffered a nightmare of a car accident, and his dream in life came to an abrupt end. In the short course of life, how can I have a brilliant understanding of reading, but I just feel that reading is the only joy of my youth. Thinking about life, it was only after being paralyzed in a car accident that I had some rough thinking. Since falling into the river, I have been a human being for two lives, witnessing the displacement of the people and the suffering of the common people, and I have a deep understanding of the meaning of reading and even life beyond my peers.

Fu Qingyun looked back at Lin Zhengjun deeply, and said slowly: "The purpose of studying is to cultivate righteousness, understand things, cultivate oneself to be a man, help the world, and seek well-being for the common people in the world, so that it is not in vain to walk in this world." ”

"Then how can you read a good book?" Lin Zhengjun nodded and asked.

"Those who read should be determined first. Second, we must have courage, and if we have knowledge, we must know that we have infinite knowledge, and we dare not be proud of it; we must also persevere in studying, never slack off in our studies, and accumulate thick and thin, just like a fool moving mountains, there will be a day when we will suddenly penetrate through the day. Fu Qingyun said.

Uncle Lin listened with his ears on the side, nodded again and again, and secretly praised Fu Qingyun in his heart for being really talented and knowledgeable, and he was a good professor.

Since then, Fu Qingyun has been teaching carefully every day, and Lin Zhengjun is also quite smart and clever, and he learns quite quickly.

People who know how to learn often teach, when they are literate and learn words, Fu Qingyun cites classics to tell some historical allusions, historical facts of characters, and Lin Zhengjun is even more interested in learning.

Uncle Lin sincerely admired Fu Qingyun's talent, and was even more courteous to Fu Qingyun, serving him thoughtfully, and every time he came back from selling beef, he would bring some rare things such as sweets and fragrant cakes to the two teenagers.

The Liu brothers and Uncle Lin have a deep friendship, and the two families have contacts and often visit the house, and the pot is not separated. The Liu brothers also asked Fu Qingyun for advice when they had time, and often followed Lin Zhengjun to listen to Fu Qingyun's lectures on historical allusions, which was very happy. In this way, Fu Qingyun's relationship with everyone has deepened.

And Fu Qingyun seems to have become a member of the Lin family. Uncle Lin respects him like a guest, as if he were his own, and after a long time, he is more intimate than a guest, and Fu Qingyun's parents died early, and he has not felt the warmth of the family since he was sensible.

After Uncle Lin left the business, Fu Qingyun taught Lin Zhengjun to study literature and calligraphy at home, and the natural relationship between the two teenagers was the best, named teacher and student, they were actually brothers, and their love was better than flesh and blood.

Fu Qingyun is quiet and Lin Zhengjun is active, although they have different hearts, they are similar in age, have the same interests and hobbies, and they are both the age of fighting and competitive. Therefore, in addition to studying, the two teenagers often went to the house of the Liu Xuan brothers to teach martial arts. But Liu Xiu is often busy with farming, either farming or selling rice, while Liu Xiu does not do housework, dancing knives and guns all day long, messing with a group of children of the clan surnamed Liu, friends in the rivers and lakes, often not returning home at night, occasionally playing at home, only to pass on a few hands of kung fu to the two boys.

At that time, the people were fierce, the martial arts were extremely prosperous, and the young and middle-aged people loved to use knives and guns. There are dart bureaus and martial arts halls in the city to teach some outer kung fu, such as long fist, short fist, tiger fist, crane shape, grappling and other outer kung fu. In these troubled times, there are especially many people who practice. If you practice well, it is difficult for ordinary seven or eight people to get close. And those inner door exercises are often mastered by famous schools and martial arts families, and they are kept secret.

Most of the famous sects in the rivers and lakes are built in clean places in the suburbs, and some sects have set up branches in the city, which can not only purchase the needs of the sect, but also recruit some disciples from outside the sect to expand the power of the sect. And the gentry in various places also tried in every possible way to establish relations with these gatekeepers in order to seek refuge.

Like Fei Wang, a local gentleman in Nanyang City, he is the father-in-law of Zhen Fu, the former team doctor of Nanyang County, relying on the power of local officials, rampant and domineering in the local area, and has long funded money and food to the Taihemen, a major martial arts faction in Nanyang Prefecture, and deliberately made friends, and he is even more domineering in Nanyang City.

To say that Taihemen, it is the most popular martial arts school in the Central Plains. Taihemen is located in the north of Shennongjia 100,000 mountains, standing on the top of Taihe Mountain, the locals also call it Wudang Mountain, it is said that it is the place where the true martial god Xuanwu Zhenjun soars, leaving a set of Xuanwu swordsmanship, which is a treasure of martial arts both inside and outside, and is regarded as the supreme sword book by Taihemen.

Luo Yuntian, the head of Taihemen, has already obtained the essence of Xuanwu, and he has practiced Xuanwu swordsmanship with one hand. It is said that Luo Yuntian is a person who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and is jealous of evil, and united several major sects in Chu to establish the "Righteous Path Alliance", and was elected as the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance, and is the leader of the Middle-earth martial arts against the demon sect and the cult.

The martial arts practiced by the Liu Xuan brothers, according to Uncle Lin, were passed down by close friends of Liu Xuan's father, and they were all domineering moves that charged on the battlefield, which were different from the foreign kung fu taught by the ordinary dart bureau and martial arts hall in Nanyang City. Liu Xiu usually likes to use a silver gun, a silver gun makes it airtight, full of might, and has the demeanor of a general who captures the flag and kills the generals in thousands of troops;

However, although it was a troubled time at that time, the world respected people who read very much, far better than those who practiced martial arts, so Liu Xuan also coped with passing on a few tricks of tricks to amuse the two boys Lele, so as not to delay their studies.

However, Liu Xiu often taught the two brothers to meditate cross-legged, explaining some basic essentials of meditation, pranayama, and visualization. Liu Xiu said that people who read should often meditate to nourish their qi in order to conceive and cultivate their righteousness.

In addition to practicing some superficial kung fu with the Liu Xuan brothers, Fu Qingyun began to slowly figure out the golden runes that had submerged into his body in the turbulence of time and space in his spare time.

Although this rune is not long, the total is only about 300 words, but the meaning of the word is mysterious. Fu Qingyun couldn't figure it out for a while, but he could see a few pictures and texts under the runes, but he hadn't comprehended the cultivation method.
