Chapter 418: Tanglin Mengxue

There are countless big people living in seclusion in the East Spirit Domain, these people are old and have nothing to do, or watch the wind and water, drink and drink tea to enjoy themselves, or are invited by old friends to open up the academy, Mengtong godson, and leave the people behind, this Tanglin Academy is run by an old gentleman who has learned something, the old man's surname is Liao, the name belongs to a few, and he is conceited and knowledgeable, but he is still modest, and the name of the genus is to laugh at the Dongling scholars who don't know how many they can rank!

Speaking of which, it has only been a few hundred years since Cangjie made words in the great wilderness, and this old master Liao can read and educate people, and his knowledge is indeed good, but the East Spirit Domain is too big, and there are too many hidden talents, so he can't help it. Mr. Liao gathered a group of seven or eight-year-old children to teach and educate people, and it was also fun.

It's just that the people in the great wilderness live in a miserable life, and they are still worried about having no food for the winter, so how can they have the leisure to go to school? Even if they are children, they need to participate in labor at home, sharpen their bodies, grow stronger, and when they are older, they can do martial arts cultivation and go to the mountains to hunt for a living, which is a hundred times better than studying.

Fortunately, after decades of imperceptible, there are still some families who are willing to send their children to the school for enlightenment, know a few more words, will settle accounts, and can fight a good way out in the future, which is better than relying on the sky to eat, but unfortunately there are too few such families!

The children do not need to pay too much tuition, they only need to send some of the food from the family's farming and the fish and meat from the hunt to the husband, as a bond, and the elderly can teach with peace of mind without having to participate in hard work.

Now, the old master of Tanglin Academy was interrupted and was in a bad mood, so he angrily refused to transfer students.

The old gentleman refused the study of strangers outside, and was about to start again, when suddenly a leather bag flew from the wall, and landed on the edge of the courtyard wall, and the rope that tied the pocket collapsed, revealing a bag of white jade shellfish coins inside, these shellfish coins are more valuable than green shellfish, and a white jade coin can be exchanged for a wild boar. The old gentleman saw a bag full of shell coins, nearly a hundred coins, and finally lost his temper, he stood up, coughed twice, and said: "Leave class for the time being, and talk about it tomorrow! I will go to receive the distinguished guests first!"

The closed door creaked open, and the white-haired old man looked at the two young men outside the door, a short man with a black face, a tall man with a white face, and a little fox crawling on his shoulder, he carried a bag of animal skins, and said, "Which of the three of you asks to learn?"

Ji Wenming bowed and said, "It's me who seeks a scholar!"

The old master said, "What skills do you want to learn?"

Ji Wenming said: "Ask for knowledge words, understand reason!"

The old master looked at Xi Wenming's eight-foot height, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's a pity that I'm too old, so it's not suitable for me to study! And I only teach people to read!

The old master was afraid that he would not believe his fate, so he turned sideways to open the door, only to see more than 20 yellow-haired and drooping little children present, less than three feet tall, and several of them were friendly to people, grinning at the moment, revealing a few dog-like teeth, obviously at the age of changing teeth. Ji Wenming stubbornly bent down and saluted, refused to get up, and said: "Teacher, forgive me, this learning must be from shallow to deep, if you don't learn from the beginning, the back is like a tower of sand, and if the foundation is not strong, it will collapse into the void sooner or later, so please also ask the teacher to impart knowledge!"

The old master saw that Ji Wen's heart was firm in his desire to study, and he looked at the animal skin bag in his hand, which was richly bound, and nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, then I will accept you for the time being! If you have good qualifications and are willing to work hard, I will strive to let you out of school in three years!"

Ji Wenming saluted again and thanked him, but he opened his mouth and forcibly said: "Teacher, I am short of time, and my qualifications and talents are not ordinary, so I want to become a teacher in three months, is it okay?"

With a rich bundle in his hand, this bag of white jade shell coins is enough for Liao Lao to live without food and clothing for three or five years, for the sake of money, he reluctantly took out a roll of bamboo slips and said: "Then let's try to learn a section and see if your qualifications are good!

The old master Liao took out this scroll of bamboo slips is his own summary of Emperor Yao's Ping Demon Biography, with a knife as a pen and bamboo as a simplification, engraved word by word, the animal skin of the Eastern Spirit Domain is difficult to find, but the bamboo is abundant and cheap, and it is most suitable for readers.

Ji Wenming saw that in addition to the stiff words stabbed out by the blade on the bamboo slip, there were also blood stains, thinking that this old gentleman was silent and codewording, and he didn't know that his fingers were bleeding. A section of bamboo slips is half a foot long, with as little as three or five, and more than a dozen, engraved with finger-sized handwriting, there are hundreds of bamboo slips, and the old man said proudly: "This is just a summary of the legend of the Ping Demon, if all the stories are carved out, they can fill ten houses!"

Sighing at the old man's spirit of studying, Xi Wenming sat down seriously, and even Wu Zhiqi and the little fox sat in the shape of statues under his compulsion.

The old master pointed to the words on the bamboo slips and taught them one by one, and then told a story, which sounded particularly interesting, and several children with drooping hair took the opportunity to sit on their seats and learn what they had already learned. Only Wu Zhiqi hung his head and did not move, his snoring was faint, this story made his eggs hurt when he listened, what kind of flat demon legend, Lao Tzu is a demon is good! Is it that he has to sing praises and listen to the teachings when he is leveled by others? It's just nonsense! But he can't just leave, after all, he was the one who instigated Xi Wenming to come to the Eastern Spirit Realm to study, and he had no choice but to doze off and spend his days.

Fortunately, Old Master Liao didn't insist on a bag of shell coins, just shook his head and continued to teach the course, about an hour later, after a class, the bamboo slips also knew three or four pieces. The old master said to Ji Wenming: "Come on, now you repeat the story I told according to the table of contents on the bamboo slip!"

If you want to tell a story, the children present will, especially this one of Emperor Yao's Ping Demon Biography, they have heard it at least four or five times, and they can say it at any time, but Ji Wenming is a beginner, and he has never heard of Emperor Yao's glorious achievements before, and today he has been taught for the first time, and he has to narrate the text in its original form, which is like letting him endorse it.

Of course, listening to the story is simple and can be endorsed...... It's not too hard!

Ji Wenming closed his eyes, briefly reviewed it, and then picked up the bamboo board and pointed to the handwriting on it and began to tell it, his story was completely repeated according to the old man's narration, and even the tone of his voice was the same, which made people sound very funny, especially a few naughty children, covering their mouths and giggling, only the old master shook his head and listened energetically.

After the retelling of Ji Wen's life, Mr. Liao nodded and praised: "Okay, not a word is bad! This memory, this talent, is indeed not ordinary! It's not bragging! You have such talent, study hard, I'll try to let you get out of school in a month, okay?"
