After Ji Xiao entered the door, he glanced around at everyone, naturally saw Zhu Yicai, smiled faintly at him, and said: "Hello everyone, I am a lecturer who explains Buddhism to everyone, and the Dharma name is palpitating." ”

The students in the classroom can enter the school palace, naturally they are all talented learners, seeing that Ji Xiao is no more than twenty years old, some people still know or have heard of Ji Xiao, so although they are surprised, they can still accept this fact, but have they ever heard of Ji Xiao, and they are naturally a little unconvinced.

Then a lifetime member raised his hand.

Ji Xiao looked at him and said, "What's wrong with you?"

The student said, "This little mage, I don't know what you are capable of, can you be our lecturer?"

Ji Xiao looked at him and said lightly, "You don't believe that I can be your lecturer?"

The student nodded and said, "Unless you can prove that you have real talent." ”

Ji Xiao smiled faintly at him and said, "What's your name?"

The student didn't know what Ji Xiao asked him for his name, but he still replied: "My name is Chen Yuan." ”

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Chen Yuan, you won't have to take classes in the future, but I have counted you in this class." ”

Chen Yuan said: "Master, I just want you to prove your ability, but I don't mean that I must not listen to your class, you are driving me away now, do you dare not prove yourself?"

Ji Xiao sighed slightly, and said: "I can come in as a lecturer, this must have been reviewed by the adults of the Fuxue, they all think that I can teach you Buddhism, why do you want to question it, could it be that you are the adults who question the Fuxue have a problem with their vision?"

The student named Chen Yuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his head and said, "Don't dare." ”

Although the students are privileged, their school records are in the hands of the officials of the Fuxue, and as the students of the Fuxue Palace, if they offend the adults inside, the future will naturally be bleak.

Ji Xiao said: "The Buddhist scriptures I explained, if people without Huigen can't understand it, you can't even figure out this question, it can be seen that there is no Huigen, so it's for my good to let you go." ”

As soon as he said this, the other students couldn't help laughing.

Ji Xiao just didn't say that he was stupid.

Chen Yuan was laughed at by everyone, and his face turned red.

Ji Xiao said again: "The monks are compassionate, and I also know that the course of Buddhist scriptures is not the right path for you to take the imperial examination, but if you don't have it, it will also be troublesome, so I see that although you don't have a wisdom root, you are still willing to let you pass this course when you evaluate your coursework in the future." ”

He paused slightly, and said: "Everyone, if you don't want to listen to my Buddhist scriptures, you can also leave now, as long as you leave at this time, I will guarantee you when the assessment comes." ”

At this time, another student raised his hand.

Ji Xiao motioned for him to ask.

"Lecturer, if we stay, doesn't it guarantee that we will be able to pass this course?"

Ji Xiao bowed his head lightly and said, "Not bad." ”

"Why?"

"Since I have taught you the essence of the Buddhist scriptures, I will naturally not be perfunctory, I hope that you can understand the true truth of the Buddhist scriptures, and the requirements for you will naturally be very strict, so there is no guarantee that when the assessment comes, the people left behind by you will definitely be able to pass. ”

The rest of the students couldn't help but look at each other, although the content of the imperial examination occasionally has Buddhist scriptures, but that can only appear during the palace examination, as for the township examination and the meeting examination, it is still based on the Confucian essence as the right way, Ji Xiao said this, so that a group of these students retreated.

It always takes time to learn this coursework, and if you drop out now, you can focus more on other coursework, and the benefits are self-evident.

They couldn't help but talk about it.

Ji Xiao looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I counted to ten, if you want to leave, please raise your hand, and if you don't raise your hand after that, I will treat you as if you are willing to stay." ”

"One"

"Two"

"Ten".

"Why didn't you count from three to nine?" someone asked.

"I didn't say that you have to count ten in a proper manner, that's the first thing I teach you, the Dharma is not rigid. Ji Xiao said leisurely.

However, at this time, there were already ten people who raised their hands, accounting for one-third of the number of students in the school, if Ji Xiao honestly counted to ten, I am afraid that the number of people would be even more, because everyone has the heart of conformity.

Each of these ten people was a little lucky, but fortunately they moved quickly.

Ji Xiao said to them: "You all go out." ”

Seeing that the young lecturer was a little difficult to figure out, they didn't want to stay longer, so they all went out honestly.

Ji Xiao's eyes fell on the student named Chen Yuan, and said, "Why are you still kept?"

Chen Yuan said: "The students don't want to leave yet. ”

Ji Xiao said: "Why? I said that you don't have Huigen, and if you stay, I can guarantee that I have the strictest requirements for you." ”

Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "The student is also here to prove to you that I am not without Huigen. ”

Ji Xiao smiled: "You have backbone, okay, I'll keep you, I hope you won't regret it at that time." ”

Chen Yuan said: "Students have never regretted their actions. ”

Ji Xiao nodded lightly, and said to the people who stayed: "There are exactly twenty-three people, but there is still one person left to make twenty-four." ”

A student wondered, "Lecturer, why do you want to make up twenty-four people?"

Ji Xiao pointed at Zhu Yicai and said, "You come to answer." ”

Zhu Yicai was quick to think, and said without thinking: "The sage cloud 'five or six crowns, six or seven children, bathing in Yi, the wind is dancing, and the song returns', five or six and six or seven add up, exactly twenty-four, the sage describes the rule of the holy king, in such an era, everyone is like a dragon, all are sages, this is the reason for the lecturer to place high hopes on us, hoping that we will all become sages." ”

He has a family history, and what kind of fake and empty clichés come as soon as he opens his mouth.

After hearing this, others also had to admire, some people said that Zhu Yi was the first talent in Jiangzhou Mansion, which is not unreasonable.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Everyone looked over, but it was a thin young man.

"I'm sorry I'm late. ”

"Come in. Ji Xiao said lightly.

As soon as the young man looked up, he happened to see Ji Xiao, and he couldn't help but show surprise.

It turned out that he was a little lady Nie.

Ji Xiao was not surprised, he had already found out that Little Lady Nie had arrived. I thought that Nie County's order was also powerful, and he was able to stuff his own daughters into the school palace.

However, he is not particularly surprised, this is not the first case, because it is naturally difficult, if not impossible, for women to participate in the scientific examination, after all, the township examination and the general examination are very strict, and there are even monks to supervise. But when you enter the school palace, as long as you can get the acquiescence of Xuezheng, you can come in disguised as a man. After all, the school palace nominally requires a student status, but in fact, there is a lot of room for operation.

I heard that many noble girls in the capital entered the school palace to study before they got married. The so-called system and jurisprudence are not so strong in the face of power and power.

This matter is estimated to be the result of the discussion between the host and Nie County, but looking at the surprised look of Nie Xiaoniang, I am afraid that she herself is in the dark.

Ji Xiao pointed to the stunned little lady Nie and said, "This classmate, you find a place to sit down by yourself." ”

Little Lady Nie reacted and found a secluded corner. But everyone applauded her, and she didn't know what she meant, and she was confused.

It turned out that as soon as Nie Xiaoniang came, there were exactly twenty-four people, and the others were naturally very happy, indicating that this was a good sign.

Zi is silent, and his power is confused, but readers will more or less believe in luck.

Ji Xiao said: "Now, we have officially started classes. When it comes to Buddhism, which Buddhist scripture do you think is the most representative?"

Chen Yuan raised his hand and said, "It is the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra." ”

Ji Xiao asked, "Why it?"

Because it explains the state of supreme enlightenment of Buddhism. ”

Ji Xiao said: "Yes, the Diamond Sutra is also a collection of quotations from the Buddha's disciples while he was alive, and it can also be said to be a puja. Now I'm going to explain to you the reasons for the puja. As I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the country of Sawei and only gave the garden of solitude, and the great bhikshus were full of 1,250 people. When the world was eating, he wore clothes and held a bowl, and went into the city to beg for food. He begs in the middle of the city, and returns to his place, eats, collects his mantle, washes his feet, and sits on his seat. ”

When he had finished speaking, he said, "That's how the puja came about. ”

Nie Xiaoniang raised her hand and asked: "This passage only talks about the Buddha putting on clothes, holding a bowl, entering the city to beg for food, and then begging, coming back to the place to eat again, after eating, put away the clothes, wash and put away the bowl, wash the feet and sit down, and it is also the original text of the "Diamond Sutra", why is it the cause of the puja?"

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "This is the content of the next class, you can think about why before that, and you can also come up to talk about the answer in your heart in the next class, and I will explain the reason in the end." Let's get out of class. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that Master Tu would explain the Buddhist scriptures in a long way, but they ended up saying a scripture of less than 100 words, and they finished the class.

The previous lecturer didn't say the sage's subtle words at length, and it was the first time he had seen someone who could say a stick of incense in one sentence, and it was as trouble-free as Ji Xiao.

Zhu Yicai recently practiced the Huang Ting Sutra, and his roots are long, so he has a faint understanding, but he is not thorough, so he meditates and thinks about it.

After the rest of the class, they started their own discussions.

Ji Xiao walked up to Little Lady Nie and said with a smile: "Go out and take a look." ”

Little Lady Nie hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

In addition to the fine house, there are grasslands, gardens, rockeries, and flowing water. Originally, this palace was also a large-scale Buddhist temple, and later encountered the war, so it was changed to a school by the government, but the Buddhist hall left in the old time can still be seen.

The two walked side by side, with the murmur of water and the singing of cicadas and insects in their ears.

Little Lady Nie was the first to break the silence and said, "Do you know that I will come here to give a lecture?"

She paused, then added, "Because I wasn't surprised when I saw you find me." ”

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Do you want me to come here for you, or don't you want to?"

Nie Little Lady said: "I don't care if you are here for me!"

"And you still ask?"

"I want you to take care of it. ”

Ji Xiao smiled: "But I know you must not have come here because I was here." ”

Nie Xiaoniang said: "Yes, I want to come by myself." ”
