Chapter VII: On Knowledge

"Since you, a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, come to challenge us, we accept it, it's just that I, Meng Lin, will talk to you alone, the other two senior brothers don't have to make a move, you don't have this qualification!" Meng Lin was really angry, everything was going well, but there was such an episode, which made him feel very faceless, he felt that this kid didn't respect his seniors, and he had to teach him a good lesson.

"What kind of problem are you going to discuss?" Meng Lin asked angrily

"Do you have any other topics that the seniors have to talk about? If not, let's talk about what the three seniors mentioned before and ask him, what do the seniors think?" Mu Feng replied without changing his face

"This kid is not surprised, what means does he really have? It's just that he is indeed a freshman, I don't believe he can make any waves!" Meng Lin thought to himself

"Yes," Meng Lin replied

"Okay, the first problem that the senior said before is that learning is for the sake of getting a career, which means that learning is a utilitarian thing, isn't it?"

"Yes, in addition to studying to gain fame, Meng really doesn't know what else he can do! You said that most of the gentlemen in our private school work hard to expand their knowledge, isn't it just for the sake of getting an official career? As the saying goes, "a useless scholar is a scholar." Although Meng was not convinced, a scholar was really useless except for the official career, and his work was not as good as that of the villagers. Meng Lin said

"I don't agree with your point of view, what you said is only a part of the role of learning, just a part" Wang Lin replied to him indifferently

"After all, you have to give examples to refute it?" Meng Lin said, he didn't think that such a young child would understand any big truth

"Okay, I'll give you an example, do you say that the teacher of our private school is useful?" Mu Qi asked him

"Of course it works," Meng Fei replied

"And is there a part of our private school that some gentlemen don't get a career and have been in this private school all their lives?" Mu Feng asked again

"There is also this, the founder of our private school did not take the test to gain fame, and after completing his studies, he returned to his hometown to build this private school, which was a hundred years ago, and now there are indeed some gentlemen who continue his tradition," Meng Lin replied

"Then since the seniors know so much, why do you still say that studying is to get a career?" Mu Feng asked rhetorically

"I seem to have entered the circle set up by this kid," Meng Lin thought to himself, but he couldn't answer at this time

"It is also useful for our teaching master not to take the career examination, and the founder of our private school returned to his hometown to establish a private school after his academic success, which shows that learning does not have to be admitted to the official career, and what is the pillar of the country, after we have learned the knowledge, we will apply it to the right place, and it will be enough, and it will also contribute to the country, isn't it?" Mu Feng replied to him

Meng Lin's face was indiscriminate, and he didn't know how to justify, Zhang Tian and Liu Lang were also in a hurry next to him, and they couldn't answer

"In fact, you only realize the utilitarian nature of learning, and there is another purpose for learning, that is, morality, and the learning of the moral level goes beyond the utilitarian nature of learning, and learning is not all about meeting the needs of doing things for yourself, but to improve yourself from the level of higher social needs, you know?" Mu Feng continued

"If there were no founders of private schools, without these teachers, how could there be students like us?" Mu Feng replied calmly

Meng Lin's face was red at this time, and he couldn't speak, but after all, he was an old fritter for many years, and he said stubbornly, "Even if you are reasonable, but we are learning for fame and fortune."

"Senior, you said that you are fine, don't say the word "we", you can only represent yourself," Mu Feng replied

The freshmen next to them suddenly cheered, they were most happy to see these three scoundrels deflated, someone shot at these people, a sense of grievance in their hearts gradually disappeared, especially the freshmen were angry for them, they felt like they were teaching these three scoundrels a lesson, many people thought in their hearts, "Who dares to bully us in the future", at the same time, from Mu Feng's words, they also learned some knowledge, this is a kind of understanding, a kind of outlook on life, values, people should not live only for interests.

"Since the senior can't refute it himself, then you lose, how about we discuss the second question?" Mu Feng asked

Although Meng Lin was angry, he had nothing to say, in front of so many new students, he was embarrassed to be skinny anymore, although they were scoundrels, but they still had the sentiments of some scholars.

"Second question, who will argue with me, you two seniors?" Mu Feng continued to ask

Zhang Tian didn't approve of debating with Mu Feng and remained silent. At this time, Liu Lang is going to play, he doesn't want to lose just like that, how can he mix it up in the future, how can he hold his head up in front of the old students, for this kind of thing, they hope that it will happen once.

"I'll argue with you" Liu Lang said after thinking deeply, he didn't believe that there was any loophole in the second question, "Is there any other way to learn besides learning every day and learning all the time?" This question, he has a realistic example, because he knows that the two Yang scholars stay in the private school or study field every day, and if he has doubts, he asks Mr. Private School, and he is very sure about this question.

"What questions do you have about the second question, and how do you defend yourself?" Liu Lang asked, he didn't have the feeling of ignoring just now, but his face turned pale, he was afraid that this kid could refute it.

"It stands to reason that learning really needs to be learned all the time," Mu Feng replied

"Then you still have to argue" Liu Lang felt a little uneasy in his heart, this kid can't shoot arrows without arrows, there should be his point of view, he is always afraid that this kid's point of view will be accepted, so they will lose, but he still has luck.

"But do you know the premise of studying every day, do you know the reason why you can't finish your studies?" Mu Feng asked

For this question, they also want to know, especially the second question, they want to know. Liu Lang pretended to be calm and said, "If you have anything to say, I don't believe you can refute me!"

"Actually, you are not interested in learning, or you are not firm in your purpose of learning, you are not firm in your purpose of learning, if you are not interested, can you study every day? If you are not interested, even if you force yourself to learn, the effect is still worse than others! You can only learn well if you are firm in your learning purpose and make yourself interested in learning, understand?" At this time, Mu Feng's tone was like Mr. Teaching children.

"When you are interested, even if you don't learn every day, you can still learn well, this is the way to learn, and doing other things is still the same" Mu Feng added

The three of them had nothing to say, they felt it personally, it was indeed the case, maybe they would have to thank Mu Feng for graduating in the future.

At this time, the three of them looked at each other, the three of them were speechless, they felt that this was their darkest day, and they couldn't even speak by a freshman, and they really wanted to dig a hole in the ground at this time. However, the knot in their hearts seems to have been untied, and they have found the reason why they can't graduate.

"Do you still want to argue?" Mu Feng asked

What courage do they still have to persist and remain silent, at this time Zhang Tian spoke, "Senior brother is reasonable, we are indeed short-sighted" As an old fritter, they really couldn't say the sentence "We lost", so they wanted to leave, and then Mu Feng spoke

"Senior brothers, since you lost, then return all the "tuition" of the previous freshmen to them, you didn't teach them anything, you shouldn't ask for their "tuition"" Mu Feng spoke again

After hearing this, the three reluctantly put the money bag back and left, complaining "It's really unlucky, I didn't make anything today, and I touched a nose of ash, I can't do this business in the future" "But today I also know why I can't graduate, I don't have to mix here after graduation, maybe I have to thank that kid"

Afterwards, the freshmen all got the tuition fees they had already paid, and they already had a sense of admiration for Mu Feng, thinking that he might be able to compete with Yang's Xueba in the future, because Yang's Xueba had completed all his studies in two years.

After all, the matter has to be passed on, and this matter has also reached the ears of the old students, knowing that a new student named Mu Feng has arrived, and even Mr. Private School has learned about it, and they are quite appreciative of it.

Naturally, this matter also spread to the Yang Scholar. "I heard that there is a good new student in the private school," Yang Yuyin said

"Yes," replied Yang Qianliu

"That freshman seems to be good, he actually made the three scoundrels of the private school change their faces, we didn't do it back then, find a chance to get to know each other" Yang Yuyin sighed, the little girl's pleasant voice, as if the world was infected by her.

"It's true, but it's just a mouthful," Yang Qianliu replied with a slight disbelief

Yang Yuyin ignored him, "It's just that what he said is really reasonable, and it also tied the knot in my heart, I used to always think about what the purpose of cultivation is, and if you want to cultivate the avenue, you must be interested in cultivation, it seems that I haven't thought about it myself," Yang Yuyin said

"Yin'er, don't think too much, isn't cultivating the Tao just for immortality, we are here to cultivate the mind, to lay a good foundation for the future cultivation of the Great Dao," Yang Qianliu replied

"Let's find a chance to get to know him," Yang Yuyin thought to herself, and stopped talking

Yang Qianliu wanted to speak again, but when he saw that Yang Yuyin was quiet, he was embarrassed to speak again.

Due to the fact that such a thing happened again in the private school, the old students of the private school often came to Mu Feng to debate these days, and the old students completely regarded Mu Feng as a person of their own grade, and Mu Feng was not disgusted by this, because he had also gained a lot of things in the past few days. The old students in the past also looked for the Yang scholars, but the two didn't pay attention to them, and Mu Feng welcomed their arrival.

Today, there was a distinguished guest in the freshman class, who had never been here before, that was the Yang Xueba, but only the girl came, she came to Mu Feng's table, and then Mu Feng saw her face clearly. She has long, seaweed-like hair, slightly curly, her skin is very white, ivory-colored, and the whole person looks lazy and light. She has a pair of bright eyes under her crescent-like eyebrows, a pair of cherry mouths are very moving, and her skin is white and red, and she is a lovely girl with a moving figure.

At this time, she said with a playful smile on her small mouth, opening her cherry mouth

"Hello this son, my name is Yang Yuyin, I want to discuss knowledge with you, is it okay?"

Her gentle and quiet voice made it difficult to refuse, but Mo Feng had met a lot of old students in the past few days, and he was not too surprised by this, let alone refused, he was just surprised that the Yang Scholar had also come to him.

"Hello, my name is Mu Feng," Mu Feng replied to her

This scene was seen by Yao'er, who was sitting in front of Mu Feng, and she suddenly had a sense of vigilance, the senior sisters who came before were not so beautiful, he was afraid that Mu Feng would be confused by this senior sister, he quickly came to Mu Feng's side and looked at Yang Yuyin, Yang Yuyin didn't react to this, but Mu Feng looked embarrassed. He introduced, "This is my sister, Mu Junyao"

"What a lovely girl," Yang Yuyin said

"Hello, this sister" Yao'er replied, it seems that this sister is quite good, Yao'er thinks so

"Well, this son, I came today just to ask you to help me solve my doubts, there are a lot of people here, can we go to the study field outside the private school" Yang Yuyin frowned slightly and said with a smile

"Yes, I can go anywhere, I can't solve my doubts, let's discuss with each other," Mu Feng replied.

"Yao'er is going too," Yao'er said on the side, "Yao'er is also curious about this Yang scholar, she wants to know what questions this scholar wants that Brother Mu Feng needs to solve."

"Okay," Yang Yuyin replied

The three of them walked out of the door together, and some old students felt that the environment of the private school was not good, so they invited Mu Feng out to talk, and they were used to it, but this time there was a Yang scholar, and they were also a little surprised, but that's it

When they arrived at the study field, they sat down, and the study field was a grass field, and they could sit directly on the ground.

"When Yu Yin heard Mu Feng Gongzi talk about the purpose of studying, I was deeply admired, and later interested, Yu Yin also felt the same way" Yang Yuyin spoke first

"That's just talking, to be honest, I don't know if I can do it myself," Mu Feng shook his head

"Yu Yin has been studying hard before, but I found that I am learning more and more hard, I have no interest in it, Yu Yin understands the reason, and the purpose of learning, Yu Yin has not thought about it so far, Yu Yin came here to ask Gongzi this question" Yang Yuyin said

"Actually, I don't know this question, everyone has their own different ways, and the purpose is different, it's up to me to think about it clearly, and I haven't thought about it myself" Mu Feng replied, he must not have known how to answer before, these were all taught to him by his grandfather and Mu Qi, and some of them were the gains from discussing with the old students.

"Yu Yin understands, thank you for your answer, Childe can come to Yu Yin if you have any questions in the future" Yang Yuyin left after speaking

Mu Feng didn't expect the discussion to end so soon, but he is not a hypocritical person, "Okay" After speaking, he also left with Yao'er, on the way back to the private school, Yao'er said, "This sister is so strange" and left after saying a few words, "Well, that sister shouldn't be a person who likes to talk to others very much, let's not delay the time in the world!" Mu Feng replied to Yao'er

"Well, it's still Brother Mu Feng, oh, that's just a word, that sister figured it out," Yao'er praised

"That's, don't you look at who your brother Feng is, ordinary people?" Mu Feng was praised and suddenly faced

"Damn it, narcissist, hum!" Yao'er was suddenly dissatisfied

"Haha, hehe" Mu Feng was very happy
