In the Reading Hall, all 130 volumes of the "Historical Records" are stacked on the wooden floor that is waxed and maintained every day.

The elder brother and the other two students each held a copy in their hands, and there were two people next to them to compare them together, and when they saw that they were ready, they cleared their throats and began to recite.

The surroundings fell silent in an instant, and even a needle could be heard clearly, and everyone held their breath and stared, only the voice of Tongzang echoed in the reading hall.

When the time for a stick of incense passed, Tongzang had already recited the ninth volume smoothly, the Empress Dowager Lu.

The change in everyone's expressions is also quite interesting, from the beginning of the excitement, to disbelief, to the excitement, Tongzang will remind the senior brothers holding the scroll to change the book every time he recites a volume, and every time at this time, there will be a burst of cheers around the surrounded reading hall.

What a talent is it for a first-year student who has just entered the academy to be able to memorize all the "Records of the Historians"?

And the morning class gentleman who bet with Tongzang looked more and more solemn, and as time slowly passed, the books were compared one by one, and cold sweat even began to break out on his forehead.

Is this son really human?

It is often said that diligence can make up for clumsiness, and this sentence now seems to be just used to comfort ordinary people like them, and geniuses really can't be judged by common sense.

Mr. gradually became discouraged, not only lost the morning class, but also lost face in front of so many students in the college, it seems that the college will not be able to stay.

Tongzang was still reciting it, and the gentleman's mind was no longer on this book.

"The Master is coming, the Master is coming!"

The students who had been quietly listening to Tongzang's recitation of the "Historical Records" suddenly became noisy, and the chaos outside the venue also interrupted the recitation of the "Historical Records".

The crowd made way to come out, only to see a tall, burly old man with a long beard in a gray and white robe walking through the crowd.

Some of the students respectfully saluted the Master when they saw him, and the others later reacted that it was the Master who had come.

"I heard that something lively happened here, so I followed over to take a look, but I didn't expect our academy to really recruit a treasure this year. ”

The master walked through the crowd into the arena, looked at Tongzang and Cao Shuanglu standing beside him, and said with a smile.

"Sir?"

The gentleman was still stunned, and was reminded by the senior brother of the precept to find that the master had arrived in the reading hall at some point.

"Master. ”

The gentleman hurriedly got up.

"The morning class is very lively. ”

The master waved his hand, then looked around and said.

"Emperor Taizong of the old Tang Dynasty once said that history can be used as a mirror to know the rise and fall, in this "Historical Records", I like very much the sentence in Chen Shishi's family, the prince will be Xiangning, can you explain the cause and effect of this sentence?"

"Yes. ”

The gentleman answered, then took a step forward, took a deep breath and said.

The second court of Qin requisitioned the poor people to garrison Yuyang, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were trapped due to heavy rain, and they should be beheaded according to the law, so the two of them rose up, and Chen Sheng inspired everyone with "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning" during the uprising. ”

"Well, that's right. ”

The gentleman succinctly explained the cause and effect of that sentence, and the master nodded yes, and then continued.

"This student, Chen Sheng's sentence of prince and prince will Xiangning has a kind of meaning, what does it mean to you?"

Tongzang was suddenly asked by the master, and he didn't react for a while, and he didn't have a clue when he thought about it carefully, Tongzang has the ability to never forget, and he has been well-read over the years with Tangqing, but only one thing, knowing is not the same as understanding, Tongzang does not have a deep understanding and cognition of these classics, of course, at his current age, he is required to deeply understand the meaning behind these articles, and it is indeed too demanding.

"I-"

Tongzang was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Sir, can you tell us about your insight?"

The Master made a gesture of please.

"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are ordinary people, and the king of Qin is the lord of a country, but Qin II is immoral, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising can better represent the demands of the people, the people are like water, water can carry a boat or overturn a boat, the king is not the inheritance of the mandate of heaven, nor does it have to be anyone, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, this is the lesson and inspiration I got from the book. ”

"Well, now you understand?"

After the master had finished explaining, he asked Tongzang again.

"The student understood. ”

For these Tongzang is convinced.

"Reading books instead of dead books, in addition to remembering, more importantly, understanding the truth behind it, you all understand?"

"Remember the Master's teachings. ”

Everyone said in unison.

"Tongzang—"

The master read Tongzang's name over and over again, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Your name is very appropriate, the morning book is so that you can read more famous articles, since you have the ability to read a wide range of books, then this morning class is specially allowed for you not to use. ”

"Sir, you don't have an opinion, right?"

The Master then asked the gentleman what he meant.

"Tongzang is erudite and strong, and he is ashamed of himself, so he is all arranged by the master. ”

"But you also have to remember that it is not enough to read through the hundred schools, but also to be able to understand the truth contained in these articles, if there is anything you don't understand, you have to ask Mr. for more advice. ”

The student remembered. ”

"In that case, let's all disperse, these more than 500,000 words of "Historical Records", when you memorize them all, we will all starve to death. ”

The master provoked a burst of laughter around him, and the original tense situation was easily resolved by the master, which further maintained the dignity of the husband and satisfied the desire to hide the morning class.

Scholars often take dignity very seriously, let alone an old gentleman who has read books all his life.

If you really can't get off the stage today, the master is really afraid that this gentleman will jump off the cliff to find a short meeting if he can't think about it.

"You two wait a minute. ”

After the crowd gathered around dispersed, Tongzang led Cao Shuanglu to leave, but was stopped by the master.

"Since you are Tongzang, then you are Cao Shuanglu?"

"It's a student. ”

Cao Shuanglu was called famous by the master, and she also chuckled in her heart, thinking that Fang Cai was completely hiding in the limelight, even if the master was interested, he should go to Cao Shuanglu.

"Among the one hundred and twenty-seven of you, you are the only one who has written one answer, can I ask you what you think?"

The master, Cao Shuanglu and Tongzang walked in the corridor of the academy, and the students who saw this scene couldn't help but wonder to themselves, how could the master be so close to the two guys who had just entered the academy?

"Is this a wrong answer?"

Tongzang asked suddenly.

"If the answer is wrong, how can he be in the academy?"

The master asked with a smile.

"The green peaches are not ripe, and we will not pick the unripe fruits. ”

Cao Shuanglu then replied.

"That's it?"

"That's it. ”

"Hahaha, what an unripe peach. ”

After the master confirmed it again, he suddenly laughed, and the two of them who watched (listened) were suddenly confused.

"Did your husband teach you how to practice swords?"

"Of course, my master's swordsmanship is superb, and it's amazing. ”

"From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to go to the department to read every morning class, come to me, and I will teach you to learn swords. ”

"Master taught us how to learn swords?"

Tongzang's first reaction when he heard it was not happy, he thought to himself, isn't the master a teacher who can also use a sword?

"Of course, my swordsmanship isn't bad either. ”

As he spoke, the master picked up his long beard, looking quite confident.

"Okay, gentleman!"

On the contrary, it was Cao Shuanglu, who seemed to believe in the master's strength very much.

"That's it. ”

The master seemed so happy that his laughter could be heard until he could no longer see anyone.

"Do you really want to learn swords from him?"

Tongzang thought that his master's swordsmanship was already the first in the world, and although the master was more famous, he was only a scholar in the end, and he taught them to practice swords.

"I feel like I can. ”

Cao Shuanglu couldn't say it clearly, but there was a strange feeling in his heart, and that feeling was telling him that he must agree.

After the evening class, Mr. Eleven rushed to the master's side.

"Ouyang Su went down the mountain, this kid didn't say hello to me when he left, master, do you know about this?"

"Yes. ”

As soon as the master saw Mr. Eleven coming over, he knew that he was going to ask about it, and suddenly felt a little troublesome.

"To the north. ”

"To the north—Master, do you know?"

Mr. Eleven was stunned.

"Ouyang Su is a genius in cultivation, since he wants to hone more, we can't keep pressing him. ”

"It's not that I don't want him to practice, but where are a few good people in our academy on the way to practice, the holy woman of Rotten Keshan returned to the northern Xinjiang and thought that Ouyang Su would be able to slowly break his thoughts, but who knows that he is now-"

"Are you afraid that he will follow the old path of Wufuzi?"

"Wufuzi, Uncle Xiao, Mr. Twenty, which one is not like this, can I not worry?"

"I'm afraid this is the life of the academy, and it is also their life. ”

The Master paused and sighed.

Since the establishment of the academy, there are often people in the academy on the literary list, and the academy has no class of teaching, all the six arts are cultivated, according to common sense, there should be a place on the martial arts list, but the practitioners in the academy go to a high place like a meteor in the night sky, bright, but short-lived.

This has slowly become a taboo in the academy, and even if there are cultivators, few of them have embarked on the path of cultivation.

However, when it came to Ouyang Su's generation, he even had to go north for cultivation, how could this make Mr. Eleven feel at ease.

"Everyone is blessed, so let's not worry too much. ”

The master comforted Mr. Eleven and then left.

The most talented people in the academy seem to be cursed by fate, and the martial masters, junior uncles, and twenty gentlemen mentioned by Mr. Eleven are all the leaders in their generation, but Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the edge will be broken if it is too strong, and their lives are too short, and they don't even leave a trace in people's memories.

However, Mr. Eleven's worries this time seemed to be a little redundant, if Ouyang Su was indeed the highest cultivation talent in the academy earlier, but now it is different.

Especially after Cao Shuanglu went up the mountain with that very familiar luck.
