The next day, Lin Duan began his literacy lesson. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is a special gentleman in the Hou Mansion, surnamed Ji, who is said to be over 100 years old. Since the age of five or six, the young masters and ladies in the house have been sent to Mr. Ji Lao to read and write, and to further learn some necessary basic subjects. Of course, there are exceptions, the old gentleman is erudite but strict and old-fashioned, there are naughty mischievous children among them, or stupid and dull, it is inevitable that they will learn the power of whips and rulers several times, and the ladies feel sorry for their children's buttocks and small hands, although because Mr. is a respectful character of the Hou Ye dare not put his beak, but will let the child say that he is sick and does not come to class, and privately invite the new gentleman to come to tutor. This is the case of Lin Yi on the second lady's side, in the words of the old gentleman, "a monkey that does not grow hair", and "stupid".

Mr. Ji seemed to have a good impression of Lin Dui, and when he heard that the child had been found, he came to Yingluo Garden early in the morning to inquire about continuing classes. The third lady, Jin Luohua, personally served tea to her husband, but said that Lin Du had just been found, and his body had not yet recovered, so it was temporarily inconvenient to go to class, and he had to recuperate for a few days. Saying that he was sick and taking leave of class, this was a common trick used by the ladies, but the old gentleman didn't care, and took advantage of the joy to enjoy the peach and plum spring in the garden, and then left with his big sleeves.

When Lin Du got up from the bed, the old gentleman was already gone, and he didn't know anything about it. Liu Er'er and the two maids are a little strange, Mrs. obviously said that she wanted the young master to continue learning words, but for some reason she blocked Mr. back. As soon as breakfast passed, they saw that Mrs. brought Lin Du into the study, and they realized that it was Mrs. who wanted to teach the young master herself.

Lin Du sat at the desk by the window, his little head just above the table, holding his literacy textbook, both excited and uneasy. Putting aside his worries and accepting his new mother, he longs to truly integrate into this new world, and words and books are undoubtedly the window he is most eager to open, he needs to know the pinyin and Chinese characters here, but he is still afraid of exposing himself. The previous young master must have learned pinyin, right, what if he didn't understand it at all?

So Lin Dui turned the textbook to the first page, raised his head and winked at his mother, he was just about to ask, "Mom, let's review the previous ones first, okay?" but saw Jin Luohua smile and touched his head and asked, "Xiao Dui hasn't learned words for two months, and I can't remember what I learned before, right?"

Lin Du couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that his worries were all superfluous, and he felt that his mother was really considerate, so he hurriedly responded briskly: "Okay!"

So Lin Duan got his wish and began to learn those strange pinyin, in fact, these pinyin are just non-alphabetical writing, as long as you remember how to read, and the original learned pinyin alphabet corresponds, you will feel very simple. Lin Du is very smart, and he studies hard, in fact, it is not much different from the real review homework, just half a day's effort, and he completely memorizes this kind of pinyin in his heart, and the spelling notes are all in the question.

On the contrary, Jin Luohua was a little surprised. After half a day's homework, the rest of the time was left to the child's free disposal, I wanted Liu Er to continue to play with Lin Dui, but who knew that he was stuck in the study, holding a literacy textbook, and continued to study alone.

Lin Duan found that the Chinese characters of the two worlds are actually the same, some characters are exactly the same, and some characters are similar in structure, but the writing here is more complicated. Just like learning pinyin, with the previous learning foundation, his Chinese characters are also learned quickly. The basic literacy textbook is 3,000 Chinese characters, and it only took eight or nine days for Lin Duan to learn half of it. Because he was studying in the name of "review", he felt that he couldn't learn too slowly, otherwise his mother would think he was too stupid, so he spent almost all his time playing to study.

He knew that sensible and intelligent children would please their mothers, which was taught to him by his life experience in just seven years. Even if your mom doesn't like you anymore, if you're good enough, she'll smile at you. The reverse is also true, even if your mother likes you again, if you always don't do well, she will definitely get angry and sad. With such a gentle and caring mother, Lin Du is even more afraid that one day she will lose, afraid that one day she will no longer like herself, so she strives to do her best in everything.

But difficulties always come unexpectedly. Although there are hard pens in this world, the mainstream writing tools are still soft brushes, because they have rarely been touched before, so writing has become the biggest level for Lin Duan. Fortunately, his mother hinted to him that calligraphy is a new subject, and it seems that Lin Duan has not learned it before, so he is a little relieved, but the words like spiders crawling on the paper still make him very unhappy. So he would spend half a day practicing calligraphy every day, and after being urged to go back to the bedroom to sleep at night, he would also take a pen and feel the darkness at the head of the bed for a while before he could sleep peacefully.

The rest of the time is spent reading. There were all kinds of books in the study, and with the help of a dictionary, he could read most of them. In the original world, he rarely had his own books to read, and basically went to the bookstore to read, but now the books in the entire study room are his. Most of these books are simple literary and historical books, and there are some stories that do not distinguish between truth and falsehood, but through reading, he still has a lot of understanding of the world.

This country is called the "Great Zhou Empire", which is about the same size as China in the original world, and it is also the same location on the map, but the map here is a little different, such as a few more pieces of land by the sea, more islands in the southeast sea, and the topography of other countries in the world has also changed. However, the mappers claim that the maps you see are not accurate, because nearly one-third of the world's land is inaccessible, and it is the territory of the Star Beasts. Although the territory of the Great Zhou Empire was very large, many mountainous and border desolate places were in the hands of star beasts, and neighboring people were often infested by star beasts.

Lin Dui came into contact with a novel and interesting word: star beast. This kind of creature that can compete with humans does not exist on Earth in another world. Curious about what forces allowed them to fight humans, he rummaged through the bookshelves one by one, eventually discovering another interesting word: cultivation.

Star beasts are birds and beasts that can be cultivated with spiritual intelligence, and they rely on the skills they have gained from cultivation to run rampant in the mountains and forests, and only humans who can practice can fight against them.

Cultivation is a door that can lead billions of living beings to another magical realm. That's all the answers Lin Du can find.

He certainly wasn't satisfied with that. This magical word aroused his strong curiosity, and when he couldn't find further information, he finally couldn't help but say to Jin Luohua when he was learning words one day: "Mom, I want to practice." ”

He didn't know how much the previous young master knew about cultivation, so he didn't dare to confess the doubts in his heart by asking questions, so he could only try it in a roundabout way.

Jin Luohua was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "If you want to practice, you have to wait until you are at least nine years old, Xiao Du is only seven years old this year, and it will be two years later." ”

He didn't get the answer he wanted, but Lin Du was still overjoyed, because his mother said that he could practice, as long as it would take another two years. Then in another two years, I will always understand what the practice is all about. He continued to study the characters seriously, forgetting the doubts in his heart.

It's just that at night, Lin Dui, who was asleep, was called up by his mother, and he didn't know what time it was, and he only heard his mother say that he wanted to take him to see Gu Xing, he hummed and was wrapped in a blanket by his mother and picked up, and went out of the room, the night breeze blew, he woke up a little, rubbed his eyes, and felt as if he was in mid-air, and the vague pavilions and pavilions in the night were rapidly retreating. It turned out that his mother was flying, fluttering like a bird and flying over the Hou Mansion! This discovery made him stunned for a moment, and his heart fluttered. He suddenly thought that his mother should be able to practice, so he had this fairy-like ability to fly against the wind. He pursed his lips tightly to keep himself from screaming.

Jin Luohua carried Lin Du and flew to a tall tower in the backyard of the Hou Mansion. The tower has seven floors high, called the stargazing tower, the top of the tower is like a lotus flower in full bloom, nine huge petals extend into the air into the stargazing platform, each stargazing platform has a size of fifty square meters, there is a stone table and stone bench built on it, covered with a bamboo mat blanket, it is the best place to watch the stars under the night sky, meditate, blow the wind, and chat, when it rains, the mechanism on the stone table will also have a huge bamboo umbrella to prop up above the stargazing platform, and it is also a pleasing thing to sit on the high place to watch the smoke and rain of the city.

This is also where the children of the Hou Mansion take stargazing lessons. As one of the basic courses of spiritual practice, stargazing is a compulsory course for children, but the city is lit up at night, and the stars in the sky are a little dim, and the best time to watch the stars is after the night. Tonight, Jin Luohua is going to give his son his first stargazing lesson.

Flying to the top of the tower and choosing a stargazing platform, Jin Luohua put down Lin Dui, spread the blanket on the ground, and the mother and son sat on the ground. Lin Dui's heart calmed down a little, and he raised his head, but when he saw the stars shining in the night sky, like pearls and agate, as if they were within reach, he couldn't help but be stunned again.

He had also been to the countryside with his grandfather, and had counted the stars countless times at night, many of which he recognized. The starry sky here is roughly the same as in another world, the North Star, the Big Dipper, Orion, Leo...... They all stayed where they were, except for a bright green star in the western sky. He pointed with his hand and shouted excitedly, "Mom, Gu Xing!"

Jin Luohua smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's Gu Xing." There's a touching story about Gu Xing, do you want to hear it?"

"Mmmmmmmmmm

Children love to listen to stories, and Lin Du is no exception, sitting cross-legged at the moment, bathed in the bright starlight, quietly listening to her mother's storytelling. Jin Luohua gently hugged Lin Dui, glanced at the shining Gu Xing in the sky, and said softly:

Legend has it that after the great god Pangu opened the world, he knew that his strength had been exhausted and he would die soon, but when he saw the desolation between heaven and earth, he found the great god Nuwa and told her that he still had one last wish to fulfill, that is, he wanted the creatures in this world to flourish. So Nuwa pinched a lot of clay figurines and brought them to the great god Pangu and said, Here you go, this is the creature you want.

When the great god of Pangu saw that they were all cold clay figures, and they couldn't move, they were very angry, saying that these were all wood carvings and clay sculptures, and they were all lifeless, so you should not lie to me. Nuwa said that I didn't lie to you, you must know that creating life is not a simple matter, every life is born in response to the surrounding environment, it is a miniature silhouette of the environment, there is no suitable space for them to conceive and survive, even if you and I have supreme divine power, it will not help.

Pangu thought for a while and said, I understand, to create human beings, we must first create the universe. People must have vitality, a beating heart and surging blood, so they cannot let the heavens and the earth be dark and cold, so they must have heat and light. With that, he reached out and took out his left eye from his face, and threw it into the universe with all his might, turning it into a burning fireball, which was the sun. He revolves the earth around the sun, and light and heat spread over the desolate land. The cold clay figurines warmed their bodies, and they had life, but they remained motionless.

Pangu thought about it again and said, "What is the difference between this kind of life and the wood carving clay sculpture if it only has vitality, cannot perceive the outside world, does not know dry and wet, cold and hot, does not know joy, anger and sorrow, and cannot act or protect itself? Therefore, this earth must have a protective star, so that it can reflect the light in the dark night, and it is like a messenger of communication between the earth and the universe. After saying that, he reached out and took out his right eye from his face, and also threw it into the universe with great force, making it a planet that orbits around the earth non-stop, which is the moon. With the moon, the clay figurines could feel whether the outside world was cold or warm, dark or light, and their faces had all kinds of expressions of joy and sorrow, but they remained motionless.

Seeing this, Nuwa sighed and said, "It is not enough to have life and perception but not know how to act, when I perceive a threat, I will fight, let others see my anger and swords, when I perceive beauty, I will give, let others see my friendship and beauty, I also have to analyze and think about everything I perceive, and have a dialogue and communication with other beings.

Pangu nodded and said, the fire is ruthless, it can destroy everything, and it best represents the will to fight. So he pointed one hand at the erupting volcano, condensed a ball of red flame into a ball in his palm, and threw it out of the sky to turn into a spark.

After reading it, Nuwa said, "Gold and silver shine brightly, which is the most beautiful essence of this earth, and I let it represent love and beauty." So she pointed to the mountains and the earth with one hand, and a ball of white metal condensed into a ball in her hand, which was thrown out of the sky and turned into Venus.

Immediately afterwards, Pangu said that water is the most flexible and changeable, and no shape is unpredictable, just like the human mind. So, he pointed to the rushing river with one hand, condensed a blue ball of water, and let it fly into the sky and turn into Mercury.

With Mercury, Venus and Mars, those mud people have finally become real beings, they can communicate with each other, they can express joy and anger, they can love each other, and they can fight each other, but although they can think, they don't know how to absorb the lessons they have learned, they don't create rules to bind each other, and their lives are ignorant and chaotic.

The great god of Pangu was very dissatisfied, and asked Nuwa to discuss countermeasures. Nuwa said that soil can block the flow of water, mountains and rocks can make people stop, this is the power of restrictions and rules, and trees can break through the soil and rocks and grow vigorously under restrictions, these two are combined with each other, so that human beings can have growth and understanding, laws and constraints, happiness and sorrow, gains and losses, life and death.

The great god Pangu slapped his thigh, yes, why didn't I think of it? He immediately extracted the essence of the forest and the mountain range, and let them fly out of the sky and turn into Jupiter and Saturn. Since then, under the influence of Jupiter and Saturn, human society has become orderly and civilization has continued to progress.

Although the great god Pangu has no eyes, he can still know the condition of mankind with his divine powers, and he is happy and regretful, because he cannot continue to live happily with his people. On this day, he found Nuwa again and said to her, I am going to die, but I am still unwilling, they are all our people, but they are so ordinary, how do you think they can be like you and me, have this power that surpasses everything?

For the first time, Nuwa protested against Pangu, saying that it was too dangerous, and that if they had the same power as us, you know what they would do?

Pangu was silent for a long time and said, what you said does make sense, but I just want to leave some sparks of hope, so that they can gradually improve themselves and break the ordinary, and how can it be so easy to achieve such achievements as you and me?

Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Nuwa had to nod and say, "Okay, if you have already decided, take off your head and hang it in the sky before you die, so that your divine power will shine on them forever."

After listening to her words, Pangu did not hesitate, and immediately reached out and took off his head, holding it in the palm of his hand, and the head was still smiling at Nuwa and saying, Don't be sad, my eyes gave birth to them, and they are the continuation of my life. I just want to tell my people in this way that God has always loved them.

With that, he threw his head out of the sky with both hands, turning into a bright planet, and his body fell to the earth forever, becoming a majestic mountain. With tears in her eyes, the great god Nuwa glanced at the planet in the sky and said, your name is Gu Xing, and I will tell them that you have always loved them. ”
