Chapter 4: Seeds
One person is unparalleled on the battlefield, and one person dominates the rivers and lakes. What kind of scenery would it be? It would be very high, and if you fall, your butt would hurt a lot, right?
Hong Lao looked at Jian Shuzhi's eyes and said, "You kid has read all the books downstairs, and his knowledge should be very high." ”
"I only want to learn a few more words, and as for the truth of learning, there are saints to talk about. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that. Jian Shuzhi replied very seriously.
Hong Lao smiled: "How do you ask me to pick up this answer, it's really embarrassing." Hong Lao said to himself again: "It's good to be simple. Thinking too much, being smart is mistaken by being smart. ”
Yes, it's not good to think too much, and it's not good to think about anything.
When Mr. Wu climbed the fourth floor of Jian Shuzhi, he left the academy and went to the imperial capital. Before leaving, I asked him to meet him and told him not to worry about his academic qualifications, and that someone would be arranged to take care of the expenses at the college. As for whether you want to be an official in the future, or have other plans, I will talk about that time at that point.
Jian Shuzhi thought for a while and asked, "Sir, I have spent a lot of money studying in the academy in the past few years, right? ”
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "I don't have much money, you don't have to take this matter too seriously, besides, I still have to pay you for helping to sort out the housekeeping every day." But when you're done, you'll have to ask me for a drink. I also hope that this day will come sooner rather than later. ”
Jian Shuzhi sent Mr. Wu to the ferry. Mr. wants to go back to Yuzhou Province first, and then go to the imperial capital. Mr. is interested in articles, not in the temple, but there are things that he can't help himself.
Except for Mr. Wu leaving the academy, there is no major change in the academy, nothing more than another year of flowering. Jian Shuzhi didn't go to the house in the Hidden Garden, and it is said that he was taken back by the academy. Thinking of the house in the Hidden Garden, Jian Shuzhi thought of the girl sitting on the wall again. I don't know, how is she now, does she have someone she likes, has she grown taller or thinner, or does she like to wear yellow shirts......
The young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow, and he is worried about the new words.
Hong Lao stood beside Jian Shuzhi, saw him in a daze for a while, and asked maliciously: "Why do you think so obsessedly?
Jian Shuzhi's face turned red, and he hurriedly explained: "No, no, it's not what you think, I just remembered Mr. Wu and a friend I knew, well, it should be a friend......
When Hong Lao heard Jian Shuzhi's words talk about Mr. Wu, he said: "You're talking about Wu Xuansheng's little ghost, right? This Mr. Wu is also a very interesting person, with both talent and courage, but the burden of the family is too heavy, if you come from a poor family, you don't have to work so hard." ”
"Our view of the gate valve of the Dayan Empire is deep-rooted, and the high-ranking and cold people are clearly distinguished. The Gaomen clan and the Hanmen clan look down on each other in their hearts, you think I have a low eye, I think you are boastful. Hong Lao sighed: "Time is not with me, time is not with me and ......"
"Why should Mr. Hong sigh. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. Jian Shuzhi continued: "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on the tiles of his house." ”
Hong Lao grinned: "Yo, that's the reason." Stick to your heart and do a good job in the moment. I can't take care of myself, how can I worry so much about others. Stuffy boy, you're very knowledgeable!"
Jian Shuzhi remembered what Hong Lao said about the sages of the Spring and Autumn Martial Academy, and deliberately asked him, "Compared with the kung fu of these two sages who are 'unparalleled on the battlefield and one person monopolizes the rivers and lakes', is my knowledge here high or low?"
Hong Lao laughed, "Your question is really 'high'." Hong Lao didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and said, "There are good things hidden in this fifth floor, I don't know if you can take them away?"
"Obey the fate of heaven and do my best, I will work hard. I don't know what the good thing Hong Lao said?"
"I have observed you privately, you have something that is not ordinary, and you can absorb the luck of the Heavenly Dao on your own. In the past, the library pavilion was full of qi, but now it is gone, and if it is not bad as expected, most of it has been absorbed by it. Mr. Hong pointed to Jian Shuzhi's chest, "I don't know how you got this thing, since you can absorb the righteous qi in the library, I don't think it's that gloomy and filthy thing, this is your chance, no one can take it away." It's just that this guy's taste is too big, and if he goes on like this, the air in the cabinet will be gone. If there is no shadow left, it will be difficult to cultivate this righteousness again, and at that time, I am afraid that the Academy of Literature will also lose its inheritance. ”
Jian Shuzhi was startled after hearing this, if the Spring and Autumn Academy broke off the inheritance because of this, then he would be the culprit, and quickly took off the white jade pendant from his neck.
Hong Lao looked at Jian Shuzhi's movements, smiled, pointed to the pendant and said, "It turns out that this is the culprit." Speaking of qi engines, we can't see mortals with the naked eye. It's just that I've stayed in this library for too long, so I can deeply feel the flow of qi. I can't blame you for this, you don't know what to do. Not to mention that there is a way to remedy it. ”
Jian Shuzhi was able to determine that Hong Lao was not alarmist, not just because of his trust in him. In retrospect, the gentle little white snake was able to prey on luck, and it should have been attracted by the abnormal movement caused by the white jade pendant to break into the Hidden Garden.
"Since I mentioned Spring and Autumn Academy, I also told you about the origin of the name. Then do you know what the original name of this library pavilion was?" Hong Lao shook his head blankly when he saw Jian Shuzhi, and then explained his confusion for him.
"The library pavilion originally had ten floors, the lower five floors were called the Wen Pavilion, the collection of hundreds of literary books, the upper five floors were called the Wu Building, the collection of martial arts and Taoism, collectively called the 'Wen Pavilion Wu Lou'. However, the disciples of the two academies thought that the name was too long, and it was better to open it and call it kindly. The disciples of the Academy of Literature called it Wenge, and the disciples of the Academy of Martial Arts called him Wulou. As for the current call to the Library Pavilion, that's another story. ”
Hong Lao paused for a moment, and then began to say: "I mentioned before that there are sages in the martial arts academy, 'one person is invincible on the battlefield, and one person monopolizes the rivers and lakes'. According to word of mouth, these two sages left a seed in the 'Wulou', hoping that it would take root and sprout. After the inheritance of the martial arts academy was lost, the martial arts tower also collapsed, and the seeds that everyone thought were left by the two sages also disappeared. In fact, if you think about it carefully, things should not be so simple. Since the two sages can anticipate what will happen after a hundred years, why should they take such a step and leave a seed in the 'Wulou' and let it disappear?"
Hong Lao glanced at Jian Shuzhi, who was immersed in the story, and said slowly: "Later, I highlighted the whimsy, and the 'martial tower' in word of mouth should refer to the fifth floor of the Library Pavilion. These 'five' are not the other 'martial arts', but they have been misunderstood because of the inertial thinking of that era. And I'm even more convinced of that idea now. Hong Lao motioned to Jian Shuzhi to hand the pendant to it, took it in his hand and observed it, rubbed it gently with his hand, and then handed it back to Jian Shuzhi's hand, "If it is a seed, it will sprout." ”
"But how can we be sure that this kind of child can solve the urgent need?" Jian Shuzhi asked, "Why did Elder Hong tell me this?"
"Then it's good to block it once. Hong Lao smiled and said: "This transaction is not a loss, the gamble has lost the luck of the Spring and Autumn Period, but it can create a master." What's more, it's not sure whether you'll win or lose. As for why I told you this, because I admired you, couldn't I?"
"Elder Hong, this is a bit of a big bet. ”
"You kid got cheap and sold well, hurry up and look for seeds. After Hong Lao finished speaking, he turned around and went downstairs.
"How can the inheritance seeds left by the ancestors of the Martial Academy be found so easily, and besides, even if I plant the seeds, how much harvest can I have in this not fertile farmland?" Jian Shuzhi thought secretly.
After Hong Lao went downstairs, there was only one person left on the fifth floor. The display layout on the fifth floor is almost the same as on the fourth floor, there are no oddities, but the space on the fifth floor is relatively small. Books are neatly arranged on the shelves, and labels are marked on the shelves for easy reference. Different categories are divided into different areas, and there are hanging ladders leading to the top of the rack.
Jian Shuzhi climbed the hanging ladder, took off the white jade pendant from his neck, and stared at him in a daze. This pendant is indeed brighter than before, through the strong light to observe that there seems to be clouds flowing inside, the aura is revealed, and the touch of the hand feels more delicate and warm. These subtle changes occur slowly and invisibly to the naked eye, like a cocoon, like a metamorphosis.
After a few days, Jian Shuzhi searched the bookshelves and hanging ladders on the fifth floor to check whether there were hidden partitions and mechanisms, and rummaged through all the books to check whether there were inner pages and linings, but he did not find anything unusual. It should be that Hong Lao's inference is biased, and the inheritance of the Martial Academy has long been disillusioned. Later, Jian Shuzhi came to the library and never wore a jade pendant again.
The Spring and Autumn Academy is the only academy in the Dayan Empire that is willing to absorb the Hanmen Shu clan. Regardless of whether it is a child of a poor family or a wealthy gentleman, as long as he passes the college assessment, and his family can pay the college remuneration or meet the minimum fundraising standards for the establishment of the college stipulated by the college, and meet the above two sets of conditions, he can enter the college to study. Therefore, Spring and Autumn College has a strong appeal in the two groups of Gaomen and Hanshu.
The students in the hall are classmates, and there are few interactions in the hall, which is a true portrayal of the students of the two groups of students in the Spring and Autumn College. Jian Shuzhi was recommended by Mr. Wu Xuansheng to enter the school, and in the eyes of Gaomen scholars, he belonged to this collective. However, it is also an indisputable fact that he was born in the Shu clan, and in the eyes of the concubines of the Han family, he took root in this camp. So, the children of the same two camps, Jian Shuzhi can say a few words, but they don't have deep intersections.
Classmate Chubby was the first friend Jian Shuzhi met in Spring and Autumn College. Maybe it's because of the similar age and family background, compared to other circles, it is difficult to integrate, but the fat man really regards Jian Shuzhi as a friend. Jian Shuzhi can also feel it. Because no matter how late he comes back every day, Chubby leaves the door for him, and he will share interesting things with him, tell him funny things, give him a share of delicious things, and confide in him as soon as there are sad things......
Well, it should only refer to the students who are studying at Spring and Autumn College...... Of course, maybe there is a girl named Wenwan. Because, Jian Shuzhi was not sure what she was thinking. In the past few years, there have been occasional correspondence between the two, but in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer correspondence......
Today, Jian Shu often walks on the way to the library cabinet. The school is located in the middle of the Spring and Autumn College, and to go to the library pavilion, you have to take the forest path paved with granite, the forest is quiet and the road is quiet, and the mountain breeze is warm. Looking through the woods, you can see the sparkling waves of Shenxian Lake. In his hand was a letter sent by Mr. Wu Xuansheng from the imperial capital. Mr. Wu introduced him to the folk customs of the imperial capital in his letters, taught him how to cultivate his body and mind, and as for learning and governing the Tao, he did not attach much pen and ink, and said that he would wait for Jian Shuzhi to invite him to eat and drink......
Mr. Wu's handwriting is really good, the pen is strong, the force penetrates the back of the paper, and there is a peerless posture. People are like their words, and words are like their people. This kind of charm, others can't learn it, and Dayan is the only one.
