Chapter 15: The True Meaning of the Academy
In fact, ancient China has always been committed to the study of heaven and earth.
The Qin Dynasty even knew that the hundred schools of thought were all theories that expounded the principles of heaven and earth, but there was a major feature of ancient Chinese science, that is, because of the limitations of the times, it was impossible to explore the Qing Dynasty in depth, and the unexplained truths would always be crowned with various mystical theories.
Medicine, for example.
Compared with modern medicine and ancient Chinese medicine, the biggest feature of Chinese medicine is that it uses the theory of yin and yang five behaviors to explain the process of human birth, aging, sickness and death.
Therefore, in the eyes of modern people, the extremely ridiculous Huixing is a disaster from heaven and a warning to the emperor not to cultivate virtue, such a theory is not only not absurd in ancient times, but even written into books, and people who do not have a certain status are not allowed to know.
Such theories can create good internal strength.
And the more correct the understanding of heaven and earth, the more powerful the divine skill of creating zΓ o?
Suddenly, the Qin Dynasty had a strong impulse.
"Patriarch Grandpa, did Brother Xiao Chao make a great contribution just now?" Qin Chao asked with a smile.
Old Patriarch Qin smiled: "That's right, it's a great achievement." β
"Then this merit, can it improve my Qin family's martial arts?" Qin Chao asked. Old Patriarch Qin smiled even more happily: "It should be roughly, but whether you can succeed or not, it is only ninety percent, what, you want a reward, wait, wait until you succeed." β
"Ninety-percent?" Qin Chao squinted his eyes and swept the two old men, speechless in his heart, the appearance of the old patriarch of Qin and Qin Shujing, where is ninety-percent, it is clear that there is ten percent certainty, and it will definitely succeed.
"Patriarch Grandpa, Xiao Chao begs you something, if it succeeds, then this reward, Xiao Chao doesn't want anything else, just want to advance, take a look at that secret first!" Qin Chao said and patted his chest again, "Don't worry, Brother Xiao Chao's character is very strict, and he will never tell outsiders." β
Old Patriarch Qin smiled slightly: "This is the iron rule of the family, how can you make an exception, even if you make a great contribution, you can't do it." β
"Aren't the rules just meant to be broken?" Qin Chao rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "The so-called special case for special people, patriarch grandpa, think about it, have you seen people like Brother Xiao Chao before?" "That's right. Qin Chao clapped his hands, "Brother Xiao Chao is a strange person who has not been seen in the Qin family for thousands of years, think about it, how can such a strange person be treated with normal rules?"
"A strange man who hasn't been seen in a thousand years?"
Old Patriarch Qin was angry and funny, glanced at Qin Chao with a smile, and said lightly: "Don't think about it, it is precisely because you are a good seedling that the patriarch grandfather has to follow the rules, and he only let you see that thing at the age of eighteen, it is only good for you, there is no harm, now, listen to grandpa's words, if you want to see that secret in the future, just follow the text, don't be martial anymore." β
"Damn, can't that?"
Qin Chao also knew that it was impossible to think of a special case, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, Grandpa Patriarch, this secret is unique to the martial arts family, so if other people who are not from the martial arts family, other ordinary people can't create martial arts? Then where did my Qin family get this secret? Are the civilian scholars in the world pure scholars who have no power to tie their hands?"
"The secret is unique to the martial arts family, yes. Old Qin Patriarch said with a smile, "But it's not that the common people can't get this secret, such as today, martial arts has entered a bottleneck, many martial arts families, and even the court and the country, in order to break through this bottleneck, various schools have created various academies in the world, excavated, and snatched talents." β
"Academy?"
Qin Chao's eyes lit up.
The difference between the Northern Song Dynasty and other dynasties in history is the prevalence of academies, which are different from normal government-run educational institutions, completely open, without a door, and free to teach, that is to say, regardless of wealth or poverty, regardless of region, as long as they are interested in learning, they can enroll, and the most interesting thing is that many colleges not only do not charge a penny of tuition, but also give students "anointing money" every month.
It's just that the Qin Dynasty couldn't have imagined that the prevalence of this kind of academy, which seemed unreasonable in later generations, was actually to snatch talents to break through the bottleneck of martial arts.
"Ordinary people can enter the academy, if he has outstanding knowledge and brains, and is favored by the supporters behind the academy, then he may be recruited by these supporters to explore martial arts for him, and he will naturally be told this secret. The old patriarch said.
"Then these academies also have the rule that they can't learn the secret until they're eighteen years old?"
"The rules of the academy are stricter, and they can't know the secret without knowledge. The old patriarch glanced at Qin Chao with a smile and said, "So there is no need to make the rule of eighteen years old." β
"So...... What if I?" Qin Chao squinted.
"Haha, kid, do you want to enter the academy?" the old patriarch smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.
"What, no?" Qin Chao was stunned.
"Yes, of course. The old patriarch smiled, "But child, you can learn literature when you enter the academy, and you can only enter if you have a very good appearance, your knowledge has reached an extremely high level, and you are young enough to enter, otherwise you can ......" The old patriarch shook his head.
"Extremely knowledgeable?"
Qin Chaoyi frowned, he really didn't know much about the academy, but in his previous life, he said that the ancient academy was completely open and there was no portal, but the old patriarch.
"Don't think grandpa fooled you. The old patriarch said, "There are a lot of unrestricted knowledge in this world, as long as you are interested in learning, you can enter, but how can a really good academy not set a threshold." β
Qin Chao nodded in his heart, indeed, the conditions of the academy are good, the reputation is high, and it is even 'anointing money', if there is no threshold, I am afraid that the entire academy will be crowded.
"If you want to enter the academy, which one is better?" Qin Chao asked again.
"Naturally, I entered the academy of the Great Song Dynasty. Seeing that the Qin Dynasty was interested, the old patriarch also took the trouble to say, "The top academies in the world, the Great Song Dynasty accounts for five, namely Yuelu Academy, Yingtian Academy, Bailudong Academy, Songshan Academy and Shigu Academy. β
The Qin Dynasty's eyelids jumped, and some of the five academies of Yuelu Academy, Bailu Cave, Yingtian, Songshan, and Shigu were even famous schools in later generations.
"There are many talents in these five academies, and every mountain chief is a real Confucian, a university scholar, and Zhou Guangtong is like a beginner compared to them. β
"As for the Liao Kingdom, Western Xia, and even our Dali, there are also many academies. β
"But the fame is far inferior to that of the Great Song Dynasty. β
"And if you want to enter the academy in Dali, you can only go to one place, and the rest of the academies are like families, which is also a shame for our Qin family. β
"Where is it?" Qin Chaolian asked.
The old patriarch's face was stern, and he slowly spit out three words: "Chongsheng Temple!"
"Chongsheng Temple?"
Qin Chao's heart jumped, the name Chongsheng Temple may be known to few people in later generations, but his other name, which is known to everyone in later generations, is Tianlong Temple.
Dali City, Diancang Mountain, Zhongyue North.
It is the Chongsheng Temple.
"Tianlong Babu" said that the ancestors of the Dali Duan family were emperors, often abdicated as monks, and were monks in this Tianlong Temple, so Tianlong Temple is the family temple of the Dali royal family, and it is the most honored among the temples in the country.
The people of Dali are also accustomed to calling it Tianlong Temple.
What the Qin Dynasty knew was in the historical legends.
Gao Shengtai, Meng Shusheng, Guo Xuzhen...... Almost all of Dali's top talents come from Chongsheng Temple, one yang finger, and six veins of divine sword...... All the best martial arts in Dali also come from Chongsheng Temple.
The Qin Dynasty even knew that if you wanted to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts in Dali, Tianlong Temple was a must-go place.
Others want to frustrate the prestige of Dali, Tianlong Temple is also a must-go, "Tianlong Babu" in the first battle of Gumo Zhi out of the mountain, is to challenge Tianlong Temple is not unreasonable.
"Child, Chongsheng Temple is a college supported by the whole country of Dali, once you enter the academy, not only do you have no worries about food and clothing, but also money." Anointing fire money's monthly, more than your father and mother earn in a year, and as long as you mix enough for more than ten years, you can automatically be awarded a very high-level official position, so, this Chongsheng Temple is also the entire Dali all motivated, people of insight dream of entering the academy, you are a smart person, you should want to get such a academy, to enter it, how high the requirements for people's intelligence and knowledge, Chao'er you are also smart since childhood, grandpa does not deny it, but, not grandpa hit you, the most important thing in the world is smart people, and can enter the Chongsheng Temple, each of them is not stupider than you, but the probability of them entering is also one in ten thousandγ β
Qin Chao raised his eyebrows.
The old patriarch said earnestly: "Grandpa has always had an idea in his heart, that is, to send you to Chongsheng Temple, but not to mention your current learning attitude, even if you are dedicated to your studies and work hard, whether you can enter or not, this chance is very slim." β
"Oh?"
Qin Chao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he smiled again: "Patriarch Grandpa, your flickering skills are getting deeper and deeper, okay, if it's okay, Chao'er will go first." β
The old patriarch was stunned and had a headache.
"Child, grandpa really didn't lie to you, so be it, don't leave these days, grandpa let you watch a play. The old patriarch said.
"Watching a play?"
Qin Chao glanced at the Qin Shujing who was focused on next to him, thought of a little, and nodded his head.
The old patriarch of Qin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, to be honest, this time to persuade the Qin Dynasty, in just a moment, he felt as tired as fighting with people for three days and three nights, the old patriarch didn't believe his words This smart kid couldn't see that it was not fooling, but the tone and demeanor of the Qin Dynasty, between the laughter and laughter, did not reveal a drop of water, so that people could not see his true intentions at all.
"Huixing's seventy-one year cycle, how simple it is, why is it that no one from our Qin family, the entire Dali, and even the Great Song Dynasty has appeared?" The old patriarch glanced at the Qin Dynasty who was flipping through the books strangely, "With this now, maybe the internal strength of the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife can be improved a little bit." β
The so-called theater.
The old patriarch wanted the Qin Dynasty to see with his own eyes how the Qin Shujing improved its internal strength according to a simple 'comet cycle', a new knowledge point.
As long as this persuasion is successful, this child will become a preacher of the scriptures. The old patriarch squinted, judging from the memory of the memorized texts in the private school of the Qin Dynasty, among the next generation, the Qin Dynasty is the most suitable person to be a scripture transmitter, the biggest weakness is that there are too few people like this, no matter how smart the Qin Dynasty is, there is no team to help it, after all, it is a bad time, and it must bow to himself, maybe it is another Zhuge Kongming who is tired to death.
The days passed.
There was a very strange thing in the clan, the old patriarch of Qin and Qin Shujing began to retreat.
It is normal for Qin Shujing to retreat, this mysterious scripture preacher retreats at every turn, but the old patriarch, even if he practiced martial arts when he was young, he has never passed the retreat, and now he is seventy or eighty, and his martial arts have been unable to advance, so he actually retreats?
What is this retreat doing?
The old patriarch is in retreat.
But what's even more bizarre is that the little bastard of the Qin Le Dao family, it is said that the little Qin Dynasty, which is very energetic during this wolf hunting festival, is also in retreat, and it is in retreat with the old patriarch and Qin Shujing.
What's the matter, can the retreat be accompanied by the eight-year-old Qin Dynasty?
