Chapter 30: Asking for Recommendations
I don't know how long it took, Mao Feifei's skills were insufficient, and he had already fainted to the ground, but Shi Dong looked like he was in good spirits.
The old scholar suddenly stopped chanting, turned his head to look at Shi Dong and asked, "This little junior brother, how many percent have you memorized?"
Shi Dong stood up and replied respectfully: "Back to the fourth senior brother, I remember it all." ”
"Oh, remember it all? Then you can look back. "The old pedant has a hint of playfulness on his face.
"Yes!" Shi Dong calmed down and recited aloud: "The gentleman said: You can't learn. Green is taken from the blue and the green is blue, and the ice is cold to the water......"
There was no delay in the middle, and after a cup of tea, they stopped and looked at each other.
"Well, it's really hard for you, but after listening to me chant it three times, you can actually recite this "Persuasion" word for word. The old pedant was quite pleased, nodded, and asked, "How much do you understand the meaning?"
Shi Dongmian was ashamed, shook his head and said, "The younger brother doesn't read much, and he doesn't understand much of the meaning at all, it's almost ...... Almost all of them were written down. ”
The other party was surprised: "Qiang remember, then what books have you read?"
Shi Dong was even more ashamed, and muttered: "A total of ...... There are only two books in total, one is "Chakra Turning Divine Skill", and the other is ...... It is "Nine Months to Break Through the First Layer of the Qi Refining Period". ”
"Oh, one is the Demon Demon Sect Exercises, and the other is what kind of book?" the old scholar was amazed, and with how much he had read, he had never heard of it.
Shi Dong was even more embarrassed, took out the booklet, threw it with both hands, and then explained it to him roughly.
The old scholar read the pages carefully, and after reading it, he returned it to Shi Dong, looked at him strangely and said: "Your little junior brother is really clever, and he can memorize "Persuasion" and understand the meaning of "Persuasion" with only the writing skills of these two books. Hey...... I don't believe it, I'm afraid you're blowing nonsense, right? What does it mean to be green and blue to be blue, and ice to be cold to water?"
Shi Dong plucked up his courage and said boldly: "A gentleman should refer to a learned person like the fourth senior brother and say, 'Learning cannot be stopped. Indigo is extracted from bluegrass, but it is darker than bluegrass, and ice is condensed by water, but it is colder than water. ’。 Therefore, there is no end to learning, as long as you maintain a humble learning attitude, there will be a time when the junior can also surpass the senior. ”
The old pedant's eyes flashed sharply, he stretched out his hand to move a little stone, and shouted: "Bah! Nonsense, what kind of junior can outperform his predecessors? Qing, taken from the blue and green in the blue; ice, water for the sake of the cold water, means that there is a heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the people! You and other new disciples must maintain a cautious attitude of study, and must not be arrogant and rude!"
"Yes, yes, the fourth senior brother has taught him a lesson, and he blames the boy for his shallow knowledge, oh no, he has no knowledge at all, so he misunderstood the meaning, please don't blame the fourth senior brother. Shi Dong hurriedly surrendered his hand, feeling uneasy.
It turned out that Shi Dong was a young man who left home and worked in a teahouse, although he had not read a complete book before coming to the Demon Demon Gate, but he listened to the storyteller in the teahouse and understood the truth of the world a lot.
This sentence "The gentleman said: You can't learn." Green is taken from the blue and the water is cold from the water", I have indeed heard the storyteller quote it, and I heard it once at the time, and I remembered it in my heart. Therefore, as soon as I heard the old pedant reciting a sentence that I was familiar with, I immediately listened attentively.
Strange to say, once he concentrated on it, the striking of that word on the heartstrings was not a burden, as if breathing with the heartbeat, a comprehension of the principles of the world flowed into his blood, so that his whole spirit was refreshed, as if he understood many truths.
Therefore, the more Mao Feifei resisted, the more difficult it became, until he fainted, but he opened his heart and listened to the teachings of the old pedant, but he felt like a spring breeze and a sense of refreshment.
Overjoyed, he had the courage to interpret it, but he didn't expect to touch the old pedant's moldy head, and he couldn't help but regret it, thinking that he didn't have any ink in his stomach, and he actually made a big axe in front of Lu Ban, wouldn't it make the fourth senior brother laugh off his big teeth?
Seeing that the old scholar had lost his temper, he stretched out his hand and twisted his beard, tilted his head to look at Shi Dong, and said, "Well, your modest attitude is in line with the purpose of "Persuasion". With a wave of his hand, the door of the library opened with a creak, "Come in and choose a spell!"
Shi Dong stood there with his hands over, and did not step forward, thinking: "It's not a hurry to choose a spell, this "Persuasion" seems to be very important, even the fourth senior brother is chanting repeatedly, if I don't ask him to interpret it well, wouldn't it be better to enter Baoshan and return empty-handed?"
Immediately bowed to the old scholar and said, "Fourth senior brother, junior brother, please ask, 'God is greater than the Tao, and Fu Mo is better than no disaster.'" If there is no misfortune and it is a blessing, then if we cultivators fight with heaven, earth and man, are we not asking for trouble? What is the explanation? Is there any foreign objects such as 'Meng Dove' and 'Shoot Dry', and even the Abyss Jiaolong and Hongmeng Supreme Spirit?"
A series of questions were thrown, all of which hit the key point, and when the old scholar heard this, his eyes were full of light, and he shouted to Shi Dong: "Duh! You are only one level of qi refining, you are young and shallow, and your cultivation is shallow, so you dare to ask? If the weak avoid the evil and take the blessing, if the strong kill the evil and take the blessing, can you understand? As for the 'gentleman is not different, and the good and false are also good and fake. ', where did you come from in the cultivation of the Demon Demon Gate?
'Meng Dove', 'Shoot Dry', and even the Abyss Jiaolong, Hongmeng Zhiling, hahaha...... You are a little registered disciple, you have a big appetite, wait until you have practiced to my level, come and ask me!"
Shi Dong instantly sweated like pulp, and the old pedant's gaze pressed over like a mountain, just like the gaze of the previous master, and a sense of arrogance rose in his heart, and he said proudly in his eyes: "Young and shallow, shallow in cultivation, and forced to ask yourself, is it beyond your strength? Isn't this the way to be studious and studying? Doesn't the words of the senior brother deviate from the truth of this "Persuasion of Learning"?"
The old pedant opened his mouth, his face was stunned, and he was speechless for a moment by Shi Dong's cross-examination.
Shi Dong bowed, "If you are offended, please Senior Brother Haihan." But Shi Dong asked with sincerity, and he hoped that his senior brother would give him some advice. ”
"Hahaha! Okay, good Shi Dong!" The old scholar raised his head and laughed a few times, floated to the ground from the second floor, changed his face to a modest face, and bowed back to Shi Dong: "Senior Brother Fang is arrogant, this is indeed not the state of mind that you should have, Senior Brother will not compensate you." What is the Tao, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, and the senior brother is not qualified to explain to you, so why don't you come in and study and explore by yourself!"
"Thank you, brother. Shi Dong thanked him, and suddenly his heart moved, and he secretly thought: "Could it be that these four senior brothers were specially arranged by the master to raise some new disciples here? Why are other people not so troublesome when they meet him, and I am eccentric? Look at his appearance, could it be that I have passed the test again?"
After thinking about it again, the old pedant mentioned: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, if the weak avoid the disaster as a blessing, if the strong person kills the disaster and takes the blessing", I think it is true, and no one can say for sure, since I have determined to get ahead in the Demon Gate, then I can't be afraid of it, I can only go all out!
Mao Feifei, who had fainted, immediately woke up, and under the guidance of the old pedant, he walked into the library pavilion.
Looking inward, I couldn't help but feel dizzy, and I saw that there were hundreds of jade slips neatly arranged on the shelves.
