But hearing that this person actually recognized his grandfather's grandfather, Xiao Yi couldn't help but wonder how many years this person had lived, and he really felt that he couldn't be a good person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, I only heard the man sigh and said, "I have been here for a long time, and my memory is really not as good as before, and many people and things have forgotten." I still remember that Brother Wen Ju and I had a good conversation and sighed on the road of life...... Alas, don't mention it. ”

When he sighed, Haoran righteousness immediately vented, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi secretly screamed a fluke.

The man groaned for a while, flattened his breath, and suddenly turned his head and said, "Since you don't know how to write and ink, then you are not here to ask for 'books'." You go over!"

Xiao Yi was stunned and said, "Asking for a 'book'?" However, his mind was quick, and he reacted immediately, and said in his heart: "It seems that this senior is specifically instructing Confucian disciples, but I don't know what this 'book' represents." ”

Seeing that this person had relieved his doubts about himself, how could he miss a good teacher, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the seniors, what knowledge is included in this 'book'?"

When the man asked, he said: "Poetry and songs, pen and ink articles, their meanings are extensive, and they cannot be concealed in one word." ”

Xiao Yi listened, but he was extremely helpless, although he really wanted to learn some poetry and knowledge, enhance his cultivation, and consolidate his state of mind, but the current time was not right, and he had no time to learn, so he had to say: "The younger generation has other things to do, and I can't listen to the teachings of my predecessors, and I can't forgive my predecessors." ”

The man was not annoyed, and after Xiao Yi waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, he sighed to himself: "Today's young people are impetuous, and no one is willing to concentrate on studying books and learning questions. ”

Xiao Yi's face turned red, and he secretly screamed ashamed, and said: "After the juniors finish their work, they will definitely listen to the seniors teach and ask questions." ”

The man shook his head and said, "In the past few decades, not a single Confucian disciple has been willing to ask for 'books'. I still remember more than ten years ago, a person also said that he would study after he came back, but after he left, there was no news. That's it, that's it......" his face showed infinite loneliness.

Xiao Yi sighed first, and suddenly his heart moved, and asked, "Do you remember who the predecessor was more than ten years ago?"

The man pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "I don't remember." ”

Xiao Yi was disappointed for a while, but he felt that the time was not early, so he had to leave: "The junior Shen Xiaoyi, I don't know what the seniors call them, if you are lucky, the juniors will definitely come back to listen to the teachings of the seniors." ”

The "lucky" he said in his mouth could naturally come back, but the man didn't know what he meant, and only regarded it as a push and shove, and didn't take it to heart at all.

However, when the man saw that Xiao Yi was polite, he also had a good impression, and said: "I am one of the four scholars of Confucius, I only remember that my original surname is Qin, but I forgot my name, if you sincerely respect me, you can call me Master Qin, but you are impatient, just call me an old immortal." ”

Xiao Yi hurriedly said respectfully: "Master Qin." ”

It seemed that Bachelor Qin hadn't heard of this title for a long time, and he was slightly complacent and quite intoxicated.

Xiao Yi was about to leave, but he said, "For the sake of your humility and sincerity, I will reveal some news to you." ”

When Xiao Yi heard this, he was busy and listened attentively, lest he reveal a word.

Bachelor Qin said: "In your opinion, the inner temple is just an inner temple, but there are five schools for your disciples who have the opportunity to enter the inner temple to teach and solve their doubts. Whether you learn or not, as long as you are decent, no matter how much you gain, you can always get out in the end. But in fact, the inner temple is also divided into two layers. ”

Xiao Yixin said: "The inner temple is really like the nameless peak of Tianmai Mountain, and it is a place for Confucian disciples to temper and improve. ”

I only heard Master Qin continue: "The outer layer is called for the essay test, and it is in charge of the four bachelors of Confucius, Qin, Qi, Calligraphy and Painting. The inner layer is called the martial test, and it is guarded by Dr. Wu. Generally speaking, the essay test is purely voluntary, and it is up to you to decide whether to study or not. This is not the case with the martial arts test, if you fail the test, you will not be able to leave this place for the rest of your life. ”

"I can't leave ...... for the rest of my life," Xiao Yi was secretly taken aback. However, remembering what he said just now, as long as he is decent, he can always leave, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, I couldn't help but wonder: "With the conjecture of the younger generation, there should not be many disciples who are willing to spend time choosing the literary examination, and the people who take the martial arts examination must account for the majority, why are there four bachelors in the literary examination, but only one in the martial examination?"

Bachelor Qin smiled slightly, and said a little mysteriously: "Dr. Nawu seems to be a person, but in fact, he is not, and the key is not enough for outsiders." ”

Xiao Yi was dumbfounded, and then turned around and asked, "Bachelor Qin told me about the situation in the inner temple, but what kind advice do you have to say to the younger generation?"

Bachelor Qin said: "Good words and advice can't be talked about, you only need to remember six words." ”

Xiao Yi hurriedly asked, "Which six words?"

Bachelor Qin said: "If you don't learn literature, you can get martial arts." ”

"If you don't study literature, you can do martial arts. Xiao Yi read it silently and remembered it in his heart.

At present, Taoism emphasizes Taoism and Taoism, which is the same as Confucianism's emphasis on literature and martial arts. He felt very deeply about this, yes, he really thought that although these words were superficial, they were infinite and useful.

Master Qin said, "I hope you can keep it in mind." Thinking back to the Confucius disciples he met in the past, he not only sighed again.

In fact, he has said this to every Confucian disciple who has come here, but there are very few who can listen to it. Those who listen to their ears and act according to their words are not one.

Most of the disciples of Confucius believed that he was just alarmist and deliberately exaggerated his status as a scholar in order to force him to ask for a "book."

Yes, then Master Qin didn't take it too seriously, he just did his duty as a teacher.

Xiao Yi thanked him again, still had doubts in his heart, and simply asked: "Dare to ask Master Qin, you are not a disciple of the seventy-two branches of Confucius, why did you stay in the inner temple and be willing to be a teacher? ”

But Master Qin said: "It is precisely because I am a disciple with a foreign surname that it is easy to enter Confucius to practice, so in this life, I must devote myself to cultivating literature, specializing in knowledge, and continuing to learn in order to go to the saints, otherwise how can I be worthy of the cultivation grace of Master Confucius." ”

"For the sake of the saints, continue to learn. Xiao Yiden secretly screamed ashamed, and said secretly: "Can I be like this senior, stick to loneliness, just to continue to learn from the saint?"

He praised from the bottom of his heart: "Bachelor Qin has great ambitions, and the younger generations admire him very much. ”

After he said goodbye to Bachelor Qin, he could only hear Lang Lang's voice reading poetry behind him:

"The human heart is like a good seedling, and it has to be nourished to grow, and the seedling is irrigated with spring water, and the heart is nourished by reason. If you don't read for a day, you don't have any good ideas. If I don't read in January, my ears and eyes are not refreshed. (To be continued.) )
