Chapter 70 This Song is not the Other Song
In the battle of Qingfeng Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain defeated the strong with the weak, and the loss was only two percent, which made the strong men and heroes in the entire north all shake up, and they hesitated to fall to the top of the mountain of the 'Northern Green Forest Society', and at this time they also began to wait and see.
When Lu Junyi received this news, he was very angry, at that time, the masters around him had basically returned, but in order to find the whereabouts of his junior sister, he was distracted for a while, but he didn't expect that there was a mistake on the side of the alliance. He was about to launch an operation and conquer by force, but unexpectedly, at this time, another major force in the north jumped out to stir up the situation, pulled all the people who did not participate in Lu Junyi's camp, and established another Green Forest Alliance.
The master of this force is Tian Hu, who sent his most powerful and trusted brother Qiao Yan to collect nearly half of the bandit gangs in the north in one fell swoop, making Lu Junyi and others almost a typical example of 'making wedding dresses for others'.
Qingfeng Mountain naturally followed the surname Tian, they are not fools, now they have offended a figure like Lu Junyi at the level of an eightfold heaven great master, only by finding the same character can he save his life, this point, Xiao Rang has long seen clearly.
Zhou Tong was exchanged back, but in fact, Taohuashan was really not rich, and the materials and money he got in exchange were not much at all, and he knew that he didn't have so much patience to write that disgusting letter.
But not to mention the disturbances of the northern green forest world, but to say that Ning Yufei was already experiencing the lifestyle of the imperial capital at this time.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, although Taizu's emphasis on literati caused the entire country's military force to drop a lot, there were fewer wars and the people were very wealthy. Therefore, the treasury is naturally very full, and because of this, the repair of the imperial capital and the imperial palace has been done perfectly, and I don't know how much money has been invested. This is also no way, there is money, too much money, and future generations are used to squandering and do not know how to control and cherish. Ning Yufei sighed that Song Zhenzong had won the battle, but he wanted to sign the Tanyuan Alliance with the Liao people, even the emperor, it can be seen that the whole world has lost its backbone and national integrity. Ning Yufei looked at the glorious street market and thought of the 'Jingkang Shame' more than ten years later, this seemingly prosperous dynasty was actually rotten to the bones and hopeless.
In the past five days, Ning Yufei has finally succeeded in breaking through to the fourth heaven of martial arts with the experience of Wanbaolou last time, and has initially condensed the momentum of martial arts.
Of course, although he feels that he has made great progress, after seeing Lu Junyi's bravery, he will only lament his weakness, rather than being complacent about his current achievements. What he doesn't like the most is a sense of disparity in front of others, of course, this refers to the things he has spent a lot of effort on, such as academic performance, archaeological research, and martial arts cultivation. From childhood to adulthood, he was basically the first in the class, and whenever he found someone with better grades than him, he would work hard and directly surpass the other party, where he worked hard, he just wanted to be the best, this is his character.
After staying in Zhuanglou for a few days, he has begun to blend in, Yu Lianyi has been throwing olive branches to him, perhaps knowing that the previous series of behaviors are flawed everywhere, so now she doesn't say a word about the past, but Ning Yufei is embarrassed to ask.
In fact, he doesn't mind living a confused life, as long as he can do what he wants to do, everything else is secondary. So he kept silent about the past, which also made Yu Lianyi secretly relieved, she was very optimistic about Ning Yufei's future, and she didn't want to stand on the opposite side of Ning Yufei because of the previous events, so she was very happy that Ning Yufei could make such a choice, of course, she attributed all this to her peerless beauty, because she couldn't think of any other reason besides this.
The Zhuang Tower in the capital is not the tallest building, although the nine floors add up to nearly 20 zhang high, but it cannot be higher than the palace, so it is built in a relatively low-lying place. This Zhuang Lou is actually very young, it was built after the Great Song Dynasty Dingdu, because of the prestige of Song Taizu at that time, Zhuang Lou did not dare to call it on the surface, so when building the main building, it also chose a much lower terrain than the palace to build, and the final result was naturally satisfactory to the royal family. After thousands of years, Zhuanglou is the ancient inheritance, from the Qin and Han dynasties and the two Jin dynasties, to the confrontation between the north and the south, the Sui and Tang dynasties, they have always stood on the side of the victors, so the location of the main building is also constantly changing with the replacement of the imperial capital of these dynasties.
Although it seems to be very troublesome, for them, no matter what era, they can have a certain right to speak in the whole world, and they have been prosperous for thousands of years, which is inseparable from the principles and propositions of Zhuang Lou.
During this time, Ning Yufei also read a lot of historical materials, but finally discovered some things that he had never noticed before.
It all starts at the beginning. Zhuang Lou had a lot of friends in the audience, such as Sima Guang's friend, the famous Yi scholar Shao Yong, who was from Zhuang Lou and studied under Li Zhicai, a former Zhuang Lou celebrity. His son Shao Bowen, who is also a Zhuanglou lineage, is now an official in Chengdu. His friend Lu Yun served as a sacrificial wine in the country.
Guozijian is located outside the imperial city of Kaifeng, in the south of the outer city, very close to the Cai River, and the Zhuang Building is on the edge of the Cai River. Of course, Ning Yufei will not miss this opportunity to learn, the classics and ancient books that he has learned too much are the most tempting food for Ning Yufei. He asked Yu Lianyi to go to Guozijian to read the book, and naturally, Yu Lianyi agreed without thinking about it, and quickly arranged this matter.
Very easily, Ning Yufei got the opportunity to study in Guozijian, which is the highest institution of learning that the literati of the Great Song Dynasty most aspire to every year, and Ning Yufei himself did not expect to be able to enter so easily. At this time, he was really glad to have joined Zhuang Lou's camp, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to contact such a high-level academy at all. And if you want to see these subsets of scriptures and histories, it will be even more difficult, after all, this is a national collection, and it is much more orthodox and complete than those books in the academy and library in the outside world.
The building of Guozijian is very simple, not like the temple and high pavilion in general, the golden hall of Zhulan, the pavilion pavilion, the blue tile celadon, the yellow brick and green tile...... Ning Yufei really didn't study architecture, and the ruler was short and long, which was his shortcoming, so he just admired this simple and solemn building, and didn't say a word, and went directly to the library in Guozi Prison. In addition to the imperial study set up by the emperor and the Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion, etc., the Guozijian Library Pavilion is the most complete and rich collection of books in the entire Song Dynasty.
"Historical Records", "Book of Han", "Book of the Later Han", "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", ...... These books were not easily found among the people in other dynasties, but in the Song dynasty, they were not very restrictive. In the Song Dynasty, the status of literati was very high, and the policies of the imperial court were more inclined to the literary, so these documents were very loosely controlled by the imperial court.
There is nothing strange about these books, Ning Yufei has read a lot, and he has not found anything, especially the descriptions of Zhuanglou, Guigu, etc., are very few, and occasionally mentioned, they are all quoting the stories of Su Qin Zhang Yi and Pang Juan Sun Bin, and they have not been explored in depth at all.
He thought, since he is a descendant of Zhuangzi, he should find books related to Zhuangzi. With this in mind, he began to look for a record of the story of Zhuangzi. But unfortunately, there is no record of the descendants of Zhuangzi at all, and even the word Zhuanglou never appears in the book.
Ning Yufei knew, someone must have erased all the records of Zhuang Lou, could this be the reason why Zhuang Lou did not exist in later records? But who is so capable of doing such an unbelievable thing?
Ning Yufei hadn't figured it out yet, so he lowered his head and pondered. Just as he looked down, he saw a red silk package, the size of a palm, lying in the corner of the bookshelf.
He raised his eyebrows, bent down and picked up the silk bag and opened it, it turned out to be a book by Dong Zhongshu, a great Confucian of the Han Dynasty, which was very old, and the writing was tattered, but the handwriting was still clear.
"This is at least a printed copy from three or four hundred years ago, and the preservation is not very good, but it is still barely recognizable. Hmm? Is this "The Sympathy of Heaven and Man -- The Most Holy Way"? Dong Zhongshu has written this book?"
Ning Yufei opened the book while he was puzzled.
"Since the time of Confucius, my Confucianism has flourished in the world, but the people of the world think that my Confucianism is stronger than words and weaker than deeds, and that Confucianism has no 'power to bind chickens'. Raising my body, even if thousands of troops and horses are coming, I can talk and laugh freely, which is the way of Confucianism. ”
The opening sentence made Ning Yufei shocked, such an idea was not recorded in the history books of later generations, but it was actually the work of Dong Zhongshu? Could it be that it was scattered by later generations?
He couldn't figure it out, so he continued to read it, but the more frightened he became when he looked at it from a distance! The content written later was not like a reasonable narrative like an ordinary Confucian classic, but more like a book of martial arts secrets, and it seemed to be learning the true meaning of Confucianism like learning martial arts. Its core idea is to specialize in the spirit, and eventually cultivate into Confucianism, Taoism, and Yuanshen!
Yuan Shen, these two words stunned Ning Yufei. What is the Yuan Shen? The Yuan Shen is a certain substance in the realm of mythology and Taoism that is higher than * and can exist alone, which is not only the basis of human consciousness, but also the true meaning of life. Not to mention whether Taoism can cultivate the Yuan Shen, Confucianism can cultivate the Yuan Shen, but I have never heard of this.
What does this mean? There are so many differences between the Great Song Dynasty and this Great Song that he feels that the knowledge he has learned before seems to have lost its effect.
Even though it is the words of Confucianism, it cannot be fully believed! Just like the literati of the Jin Dynasty, one by one, they wanted to become immortals and alchemists, but they were all poisoned, and this was the limitation of the times! Ning Yufei comforted himself, feeling that it was more acceptable for him to go back to the past or something, otherwise what would it become?
Suddenly, he thought of something, went to the bookshelf and found a copy of the Book of Jin, and quickly flipped through it, but this time, it was not the same content that he had read before.
Ning Yufei's face was not very good-looking, and he finally found some clues.
"Is this Song not the other Song? I'm not just back in the past, or I'm back in a different past, what is this?" He is not good as a whole person, especially when he does what he wants to do, even if he finds something now, it can't explain anything, because the two are no longer the same time and space, not in the same time dimension.
In that case, the only meaning of life that he thinks of now is gone, so what's the fun?
"Why did this happen? If we could find this answer, then maybe we would find a chance to go back, although there was nothing to be nostalgic about...... "Suddenly, he thought of another thing, maybe it was worth doing, and even more motivating than the one he had been.
"What do you need to do first in order to accomplish this?" With a new goal, he was full of energy again, but now he is still lacking in strength, and he still needs to improve his strength so that he can have the ability to find the answer in his heart.
Putting the book back, he put the palm-sized, two-foot-thick small book back into the red silk wrap, and was about to put it back, but stopped again.
"This book is so worn, it's not good to put it here, what if it falls apart? Let's copy a copy!"
It took two hours to finish, and he exhaled and put his pen and ink away. However, he said that there were not many students in Guozijian, and even fewer people read here every day, and there were only three or two people in the huge room, and they were all very quiet, and there was no sound.
After Ning Yufei finished copying, he cast the 'Double World' in a hidden corner to hide the manuscript in his hand, and went out with a natural expression.
There is an inspection outside the door, because the books inside cannot be taken out, although they can be copied, but they must be recorded and recorded when they are taken away. Ning Yufei didn't want people to know which book he copied, so he used his ability. Back in his room, he took out the manuscript and read it word by word, and before he knew it, he sank into it.
(I have updates every day, and I write very seriously, no matter how busy I am, and no matter if anyone reads it, I have always been conscientious, but I haven't seen any results, it seems that the setting of the first book is insufficient, I really don't want to give up this hobby, I want to keep writing, there are many things I want to write.) Some people say that I wrote a good frame, but the plot is too slow, and I admit that statement. I'm also trying to speed it up, because there are so many things that are too much to calculate, and it's really a bit difficult to calculate a little bit into it, but these are not problems, if this book can be completed, believe me can do it well, at least the story and character portrayal of the next "Evil Throne" will be better than this book in all aspects.
Anyway, a friend who read it gave me a recommendation, and I really wanted someone to support me, who could keep me motivated and have the opportunity to continue writing.
Thank you !! for a recommendation!!)
