The school palace located in Jingkou Mountain in the territory of the Yanling Dynasty has been calm these days, and in these days when the master of Shenxian Mountain has made countless monks in the mountains and rivers look sideways, the first school palace under the Confucianism of the mountains and rivers, the actual control of the entire Yanling, has not expressed anything.

Whether it is Liang Yi, the main viewer, who went to Yuwu Mountain to teach Yang Changsheng a lesson, causing Chen Sheng's tablet to appear, or Liang Yi made a speech at the foot of Sword Mountain to provoke Chao Qingqiu, the only sword immortal in the mountains and rivers. Then he had a fight with the old ancestor of Sword Mountain, who had not appeared in the mountains and rivers for an unknown amount of time, and finally was able to climb Sword Mountain. Actually, it's not a trivial matter.

But even so, the prestige of the Guan Zhu was raised a little higher in the mountains and rivers, and after the name of the first sage in the mountains and rivers, it stands to reason that as the only Confucianism among the three religions that is likely to wrestle with Taoism, it should have a reaction, and the rest of the academies and schools in Yanling have made some small sounds, but the largest Yanling School Palace is not alarmed, as if it is a pool of stagnant water.

This school palace seems to be indifferent to everything that the Lord has done.

It's just puzzling.

But no matter what, no scholar will come to the door to ask why the speaker of this school palace is inactive, and no nobles from Luoyang City will come to ask the attitude of the school palace, after all, Taoism has been in the mountains and rivers for many years, and it is no longer one of the three simple teachings.

The saying that one family is dominant has been day after day.

What's more, fighting with others is not the attitude that Confucianism should have.

What the sage said about what it means to be a scholar and how to be a scholar, a sage said, "Self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country and leveling the world." Another Confucian sage said, "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a way for the people, go to the saints to continue learning, and open peace for all generations." ”

In the past 6,000 years, Confucianism has produced four saints, each of whom has a different doctrine, even the simplest questions have different statements, these 6,000 years have made a group of scholars under Confucianism, what they have learned and thought are different, but now there are only four saints are okay, if it was the peak of Confucianism before, Confucianism is even more schools of thought, and the doctrines are complicated.

It's not uncommon to have more than a dozen answers to the same question.

It's just that what is the essence of Confucianism, most scholars still believe in a ritual character.

It is always different from Taoism.

The turmoil outside the mountain is constant, and the wind and waves inside the mountain are calm.

The master of Shen Xieshan has been in the limelight for a while these days, but the master of the school palace is silent.

This person in the world can be said to be the most learned scholar in addition to the four saints of Confucianism, these days, he has not done anything, neither articles and poems have flowed out, nor has he held a class, and occasionally the place where the disciples of the school palace see this master is next to a clear pool in the back mountain.

This Qingtan is older than the history of the school palace, the water of the pond is clear and can be seen at the bottom, the old masters in the school palace like to come to this Qingtan to ask for teaching, so this Qingtan is also called the school pond by most of the scholars in the school palace.

There was no fish at the beginning of the pond, after the old masters were tired of asking for teaching, they always felt bored when they sat next to the pond of learning, and then they didn't know which old master had a whim to bring a green carp into the pond water, which attracted the rest of the masters to follow suit, and over time, there were more and more fish in this pond of learning, but for the matter of fish, the hobby vision of the masters was not far apart, so there was only one kind of carp in this pond of learning.

Since there are fish in the pool, naturally there are people to fish, since there are fish in this cultural pool, many gentlemen and masters in the school palace like to come here to fish with nothing to do, but there is a strange thing, which makes people puzzling.

That is, although there are fish in this pool, no matter what bait is used, not a single fish will bite the bait and take the bait, which is very puzzling.

During this period, many masters who were proficient in this way came here, and without exception, they all gained nothing.

No one wants to eat the fish in this pool, but no one can.

Over time, no one fished in this pond of learning, and occasionally the old masters asked questions by the pool, and when they rested, they could only sigh when they looked at the fish swimming happily in this pool.

But these days, when the scholars in the school palace saw the master, they found that the master was really fishing by the pool, and he didn't know what kind of bait was used, but it always seemed that the master was not for nothing.

It's just a bamboo basket in charge, and it has never been filled with a fish.

This scholar, who is the most knowledgeable in the world, has never picked up a fish in his hands, but only looks at it and shakes the rod, and the fish naturally releases from the hook and rolls into the pool.

There was a lot of splashing.

From early morning to dusk, the head never picked up a fish.

This makes a number of people who have been paying attention to this side of the book feel a little disappointed, the master of the teaching is a big question, what they think and do is definitely different from ordinary people, they can't understand, in fact, it is also very normal, but everyone wants to see something from the actions of the head of the teacher, after all, isn't this the gap with the head of the teacher shortened?

Unlike most of the scholars in the Academy, on the side of the Library of the Academy, Zhou Xuance, an outrageous old gentleman with a high seniority, not only ignored the affairs outside the mountain, but also didn't care about the matter of the person in charge of fishing. At a time when many scholars were paying attention to the side of the cultural pool, Zhou Xuance was looking at a certain scholar Huang Jin, who had just gone up the mountain.

Huang Jin, a scholar who has not yet reached the age of standing, was originally just a scholar of Zhou before going up the mountain, participated in an imperial examination, and did not completely complete all the subjects of the imperial examination, so he resolutely left Shaoliang City, went to a place to rob relatives, and finally the result was unsatisfactory, after returning to his hometown, Yan Yu originally wanted to take him back to the school palace, but he did not agree, and later when he went up the mountain alone, he suffered a lot, and in the end it was a blessing in disguise, and he was favored by Zhou Xuance, and became a miscellaneous disciple of this library, saying that it was a miscellaneous disciple, but in fact, it was no different from Zhou Xuance's student。

Being a student of this uncle is probably the most eye-catching thing in the school palace except for becoming a student in charge.

Huang Jin squatted on the ground, burying his head and watching a group of ants dragging the carcass of a wasp into the burrow, watching with relish.

Zhou Xuance didn't say anything, just thinking about what conclusions this young man would draw from this ant.

Since Huang Jin went up the mountain, in these days in the library pavilion, in fact, the most thing he has done is to read, although there are many magic weapons in the library cabinet that are not of low grade, but the number of those magic weapons is far less than the books in the library cabinet.

The abundance of books in the library of this school palace is almost incomparable, the climbing tower of Shen Xie Mountain is known as having three thousand scrolls, and this library pavilion is known as having ten thousand volumes of real books, although the two do not know whether they are true or false, but they should always know that there are many books, and it is not false.

Huang Jin has read a lot of books these days, and he knows a lot of truths, but the progress of cultivation to the realm is slow, so Zhou Xuance doesn't care, he would rather see Huang Jin become such a scholar whose realm is as low as the ground, but his knowledge is as high as the sky. It is not better for him to abandon others for the sake of the realm.

The scenery in the sea of books is the most beautiful scenery Zhou Xuance has ever seen.

After half a ring, Huang Jin stood up, still carrying the oil-paper umbrella behind his back, and there was nothing else.

Zhou Xuance closed his eyes in the distance, knowing that soon Huang Jin would open his mouth to ask questions.

Sure enough, the next moment, Huang Jin asked: "Uncle Zhou, a hundred monks with a low realm can probably beat a monk who is a little higher than their realm, but no matter how many people are not highly educated, they should not add up to a scholar like Zhangjiao, right?"

Zhou Xuance squinted his eyes, shook his head and said softly: "No, there are readers in the world who can have a high level of teaching, is it hard to say, but even if there are, there are only one or two, then the rest of the readers are really comparable to the master? But in a certain aspect, it may be a little stronger than the teaching, not too much, a little bit, then the knowledge of so many scholars adds up, naturally it should be a little more than the teaching of the master, the teaching is not perfect, if he understands the truth of the world, it is just nonsense. Even the saints above our heads don't necessarily understand. ”

Huang Jin thought thoughtfully, and finally nodded, as if he had nothing to say.

Zhou Xuance took the initiative to ask: "This time the Sage Cave Mansion reappeared, and it was Gu Yuan's little girl who was finalized in the School Palace, it is understandable, reading seeds, baby bumps, it's just Huang Jin, if you are in charge, how to resolve this?"

Huang Jin frowned and said: "Senior Sister Gu Yuan is a seed of reading, and her cultivation talent is excellent, from the perspective of the School Palace, it is understandable, but it is always unfair, if Huang Jin is in charge, he will only choose Senior Sister Gu Yuan." ”

Zhou Xuance said with interest: "Tell me the reason." ”

Huang Jinjing said calmly: "If you are superior in terms of knowledge, Senior Sister Gu Yuan is still young, compared to the other senior brothers and sisters in the school palace, it is normal to lack knowledge. But if you compare it with realm cultivation, Senior Sister Gu Yuan's time to step into the path of cultivation is not long, and there is no advantage, both of these are not fair to Senior Sister Gu Yuan, is it possible that in the end, it will be decided by drawing lots?"

Zhou Xuance added the following for him, "The Sage Cave Mansion is competing for the opportunity to practice, and those with excellent talents will naturally earn higher, so there is naturally no problem in choosing Gu Yuan's little girl." ”

Huang Jin said with a smile: "Senior Sister Gu Yuan has always been likable, and no one should be dissatisfied." ”

Zhou Xuance looked calm and asked calmly: "Huang Jin, the old man will ask you another question, and after asking, he will decide whether you can go up to the second floor to study." ”

Huang Jin's expression was slightly awe-inspiring, the library pavilion has a total of three floors, the first floor puts some Confucian classics, the third floor puts the school palace magic instruments, and the second floor is put with countless sages and sage articles, and ordinary readers are not qualified to enter the second floor at all.

Huang Jin claimed to have read a lot of books before. It's just staying on the first floor, and now that you have the opportunity to enter the second floor, it's naturally worth paying attention to.

Huang Jin looked at Zhou Xuance seriously, and the latter slowly spoke, "Huang Jin, when you come up to the mountain, what do you want to become, do you want to become a master with no low knowledge, or do you want to become a monk with a high realm?"

Huang Jin touched the handle of the umbrella and said with a smile: "In fact, students want to become officials on the ruling side the most, and the expectations of the two sages for scholars are to cultivate themselves and govern the country together and level the world." This statement is more in line with Huang Jin's meaning, perhaps because Huang Jin's heart is not ambitious. ”

Zhou Xuance snorted coldly, "What a Huang Jin who has no ambitions, then you go to the second floor to improve your ambitions." ”

Huang Jin laughed and bowed solemnly to Zhou Xuance.

Zhou Xuance was in a trance, he always wanted to see the shadow of a certain scholar in this scholar.

But I can't see it all the time.

On the other side of the cultural pool, after the sky was getting dark, the master got up, this scholar in plain clothes was thin and weak, if it weren't for the fact that everyone in the school palace knew that this scholar was the master, a scholar whose realm of cultivation and knowledge were unfathomable.

Then maybe no one would regard him as a monk of the Ascending Realm, there are several top monks in the world, even if he is not defeated by the Viewer, he is not far behind.

After putting away the fishing rod and bamboo basket, the master got up and walked slowly, stopping in front of a simple thatched hut.

A voice came from the hut, "Su Ye, do you understand?"

His voice was full of doubt.

The people in the hut called this master by his name, but this master didn't look unusual.

The master replied calmly, "This question is too difficult for me to see through. ”

The man in the hut quickly sneered: "There are still problems in the world that you can't understand, aren't you the most knowledgeable scholar in the world?"

The master looked at the thatched hut, "Mr. is naturally more knowledgeable than Su Ye, but Mr. can't understand it either, so what?"

The man in the thatched hut seemed to be a little annoyed, so he scolded without any emotion, "Su Ye, you bastard, if the old man thinks about it, why bother here for decades, you can't think of the same problem, in a few decades, you will end up in the same fate as the old man, when the time comes, see if you have a better mentality than the old man?"

The master smiled: "In the quiet room, this kind of question is easier to think through, but Mr. is still so unsightly, let me say a word, Mr. has indeed done it on a dog over the years." ”

The man in the thatched hut seemed to be angry, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "Su Ye, why did the old man accept such a student as you back then!"

The head teacher shook his head, "I don't know, if it weren't for Mr. insisting on accepting me as a beginner, maybe the students would follow Master Li and their knowledge would be higher than now." ”

After the master had said this, there was a deathly silence in the hut, and the man said no more.

It seems that the three words of Li Fuzi poked at the weakness of that person.

The head teacher changed the question, "Sir, how much higher was Master Li's knowledge than you back then?"

Before he could finish speaking, a rapid cough came from the hut.

Apparently the man was very angry.

The head teacher was not prepared to let him go like this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Back then, Master Li, everyone said that he was the best in the world in terms of articles and unparalleled in the world, but when it comes to Mr., he always uses the word "Half a chip off Master Li", doesn't Mr. feel ashamed?"

The man snorted coldly: "The old man's knowledge, how can others judge themselves." ”

The head of the sect said "as a matter of course": "No wonder someone wanted to practice back then, just to reason with his fists when he was not as knowledgeable as others?"

There was a ping-pong sound in the hut, as if someone was angry and smashed a lot of things.

The head coach couldn't hold back any longer and began to laugh.

The man's voice came out again, "Su Ye, since you can't figure out that question, you go and ask Liang Yi." ”

The head of the teaching suddenly lost his voice, he was in charge of a school palace, and asked a Taoist master, what is there to talk about, the chicken and the duck talk about the last can't talk about the chicken, the dog jumps?

The man seemed to be "serious" and said: "In any case, there is not much difference between Confucianism and Taoism. At least when both sides make up their minds to play tricks, there is indeed not much difference. He Liangxi has a very important part of the Taoist meeting every ten years, and there is a reason, and we can have it here in Yanling. ”

The head teacher said helplessly: "Before I think about that problem, I don't want to engage in these things. ”

The man asked rhetorically, "If you can't figure it out for the rest of your life, you bastard won't plan for the Academy Palace for the rest of your life?"

The head of the sect waved his hand, "If you can't think through it for a lifetime, then you will think about it for a lifetime." ”

"Get out!"

The instructor laughed and walked away.

——

Huang Jin climbed to the second floor, and after going upstairs, Zhou Xuance saw Gu Yuan, a little girl wearing plain clothes, outside the library attic.

Zhou Xuance frowned, and the little girl whispered Uncle Zhou, in fact, she felt that she should call Zhou Xuance's Uncle Ancestor.

Zhou Xuance looked at Yan Yu in the distance, and said calmly: "Where did you come from, where are you going?" ”

Yan Yu smiled bitterly, turned around and left.

In this school palace, the words of this uncle are actually sometimes more important than the words of the master, and they are not easy to oppose.

After seeing Yan Yu leave, Zhou Xuance frowned and said, "What does a little girl do in such a plain dress, and she is not an old man who is dozens of years old." ”

Gu Yuan held a book and whispered: "Mr. said that this trip represents the school palace, don't wear too brightly." ”

Zhou Xuance said with a straight face: "Then who did the school palace let take you out?"

Gu Yuan raised his head and pointed at Zhou Xuance.

Zhou Xuance was stunned, and then smiled: "Since it is the old man who escorts you, what are you afraid of, how do you like it!"

Gu Yuan raised his head and asked with some uncertainty, "Uncle Shi, are you serious?"

Zhou Xuance nodded calmly, "As long as it is not the Lord of Shen Xieshan who comes forward, no one can stop the old man." ”

Gu Yuan finally nodded this time, and whispered: "Then I'll go back and change my body immediately, Uncle Shi will wait for me!"

Zhou Xuance was about to speak, when he saw the little girl jumping up and running out a long way.

Zhou Xuance was stunned for a moment, and then showed a heartfelt smile.

This little girl is really very pleasing.

At the end, Zhou Xuance turned his head to look at the library and whispered: "Huang Jin, it's good that you want to be a scholar who governs the country and the world, but why don't you have a lot of ambition and become the kind of reader who carries forward the past and forges ahead into the future?"

There was silence in front of the library, and no one answered.

Zhou Xuance sat down again, closed his eyes and rested.
