Chapter 6: The Distant Mountains Collection

It has been more than a month since I came to the academy, but the first snow of the eleventh year of the Apocalypse did not come as scheduled.

The weather in Chang'an is still a little hot and humid, and the bright afternoon sun pours on the side of Huaqing Pond, which is indescribably comfortable and leisurely.

"What do you mean by this word?" Today, Liu Chen sat on the edge of a small tree in the eighteenth courtyard, holding a scroll of scriptures and reading with a little difficulty.

The little monk had already finished his homework, and at this time he was studying the difference between the ants in the academy and the outside on the corner of the wall, and when he heard Liu Chen's call, the little monk sneered, walked quickly to Liu Chen's side, leaned over to take a look, and then explained with a smile: "The way of the sage, died in Lu and passed it on! ”

"What does this mean?" Liu Chen's head was full of black lines, he originally thought that he came to the academy to practice martial arts with peace of mind, but he didn't expect that the sage's scripture quotations were a compulsory course in the academy for thousands of years.

"It means that after the Holy Ancestor returned to the ruins, among all his disciples, the one who got the most inheritance from him was Lord Lu Xiu, that is, the Martial God, Lord Martial God was silent back then, but every time he met the Holy Ancestor to give lectures, he didn't study martial arts, and the Martial God was the most thorough!"

"'A gentleman is a gentleman, a man who is born on the ground, and a person who is filial piety is the foundation of a human being!' What does this mean, mother, what's the use of learning this, and you can't go into battle to kill the enemy, my master, my brain is dizzy, and everyone who cares every day is about to become two fools!" Liu Chen was so angry that he threw the scroll to the ground, his whole face turned black, and he was almost on the verge of going berserk.

"Brother Chen, don't be annoyed!" The little monk hurriedly picked up the tea on the coffee table and handed it to Liu Chen, with a look of comfort on his face, "The meaning of this sentence is that a gentleman must first find the root of being a man and doing things, and then no matter what he does, he will have a correct principle, the so-called fundamental is filial piety, filial piety is benevolence, brothers, friends and brothers are considered filial piety, respect for parents is filial piety, loyalty to the country is filial piety, simply put, you have to be honest and benevolent, and you will take a correct path!"

Liu Chen gasped and stared at the little monk, and the little monk also looked up at him fearlessly, for a long time, Liu Chen was finally defeated, and in the eager eyes of the little monk, he picked up the scroll on the ground, and his expression was particularly depressed.

"Brother Chen'er hold on, if Jingyi is not qualified, in the spring of next year, you will not be able to enter the library, and you will not be able to learn the trick of refining qi!" The little monk patted Liu Chen's back and comforted him softly, he knew how much effort Liu Chen had put in in order to enter the academy, along the way, the two of them had gone through life and death, in the heart of the little monk, Liu Chen was his relative, and he only hoped that Liu Chen could get his wish, and on the road of martial arts, he would go farther and farther.

"Poof!" In the quiet small courtyard, a chuckle suddenly sounded, Liu Chen and the little monk looked towards the place of laughter with an unhappy expression, but saw Wu Tong leaning on the side of the newly repaired half-moon arch with his arms crossed, looking at the two people in the courtyard with interest.

"What are you laughing at?" The little monk spoke first and raised his voice to ask, he was also afraid that Liu Chen, who was in a bad mood at this time, would quarrel with Wu Tong, so that he would fight in the courtyard again, for more than a month, since Liu Chen recovered from his injury, the two have not fought less, fortunately, the young master of the Wu family is rich, otherwise, the eighteenth courtyard would have been unable to live in it.

Wu Tong stood up straight, carefully straightened the new shirt he had just changed on, looked at Liu Chen's malicious eyes, he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "I won't fight with you today, I have new clothes, don't be angry, I'm here to call you to go boating in Huaqing Pond together, it's rare to rest, how can you go out to play!"

Hearing Wu Tong beckoning him to go out to play, the little monk's face changed, and he instantly changed into a dog-legged smile and quickly ran to Wu Tong's side and said: "Brother Tong didn't bring any money, I heard that the Yuanshan Market is a market made by the academy's own students, and it is very lively!"

"Brother has money!" Wu Tong smiled, touched the little monk's head, and then walked through the eighteenth courtyard by himself, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, "Hurry up and call you Brother Chen, this young master is all invited today!"

Facing the little monk's hopeful gaze, Liu Chen smiled helplessly, then put down the scroll, followed behind the cheering little monk, and chased after Wu Tong.

After passing through the tree-lined path for three or four miles, the eyes of the three of them suddenly became wider, and the hustle and bustle not far away came into their ears, which made the young man fascinated in his heart.

Yuanshan Market, as the name suggests, is a market at the foot of the peaks of Bauhinia Mountain, which is spontaneously organized by the students of the college, because the students of the college are not allowed to go out on weekdays, and the daily transaction procurement has become a problem.

"This Yuanshan set, the most powerful is the art department and the Taoist department, the art department of those nerds study some strange things all day long, all get here to sell, and then change some materials, as well as the Taoist Ministry's magic sticks, selling medicine, selling Dan, selling grass, curing everything, here are all the students of the academy, such a big bazaar, in Chang'an City are famous, but outsiders can't come in, some economically minded students, will also sell the goods of the Yuanshan set to Chang'an City, this one is a very considerable profit, hehe, the signboard of the academy, the whole continent is killed!”

Wu Tong walked in front complacently, taking the old man's steps, turning back to explain to Liu Chen and the little monk from time to time, looking at the dazzling demeanor of the two, Wu Tong's heart was indescribably happy.

This distant mountain market is quite large, located between the mountains and rivers, the various stalls and shops scattered in this green grassland, it seems extraordinarily prosperous, although those stalls are a little simple, the store is not standard, but some strange gadgets placed outside, but it adds a bit of color to this place, the bamboo dragonfly that can fly, the wooden frog that can be called, and some natural treasures that cannot be named, which makes Liu Chen and the little monk amazed in their hearts.

"I'll take you to meet a senior today!" Walking out of a short distance, Wu Tong pulled Liu Chen, who was deeply attracted by the strange things on the roadside stalls, and waited until Liu Chen showed a hint of inquiry, he lowered his voice and smiled: "It's a monthly holiday, and the seniors of grade A and B are also Xiu Mu, I told you before, the young peak master of Wushen Peak, the first person in the academy, I made an appointment with him to meet today, bring you along!"

The little monk reluctantly withdrew his little hand that was constantly playing in other stalls, turned his head to look up at Wu Tong and said, "Do you mean Senior Brother Chen Sheng?"

"Clever!" Wu Tong nodded, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "Except for Senior Brother Chen Sheng, who can be worthy of the title of the first person in the academy?"

"Let's go, I have time to go shopping!" As he spoke, Wu Tong pulled the sleeves of Liu Chen and the little monk, and walked towards the Huaqing Pond in the distance, "I made an appointment with Senior Brother Chen to meet on the painting boat, at this moment, Senior Brother should have arrived!"

Passing through the bazaar, the three of them came to the Huaqing Pond, the clear lake water continued to roll up the microwave with the breeze, gently patting the lake, on the shore, repaired a slightly simple wharf, there were many light boats docked on the side of the wharf, Liu Chen raised his eyes and looked at the boat makers, but saw those boat boys, all of them were the uniforms of the academy, I really didn't expect that not only the bazaar, but even this wharf was contracted to the academy.
