Early in the morning of the second day, Shi Zixuan took off his robe, changed into a green shirt, and followed Liu Pu out of the door.

It was raining lightly today, and Liu Puzhi had no oil umbrella at home. Shi Zixuan recited the trick of avoiding water, but this scholar suffered from the seedlings.

Hurried all the way, to Xuehai Academy, I saw that it did not occupy a large area, although it was in the downtown street, it was very quiet inside. The morning rain washed the dust, revealing a sense of peace.

Shi Zixuan raised his eyes and saw that a clear air was diffused above this academy, and there were occasionally a few miscellaneous gases, but most of them were canceled out, which made people feel pleasant.

"The holy land of the university is a spiritual gathering place for scholars, with full spirit and spirit, and there is little vulgar atmosphere. ”

Shi Zixuan nodded secretly, walked to the door of the academy, and on the plaque, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with the four big characters of "Xuehai Academy", and there were warning words pasted next to it, which was: Read thousands of volumes diligently, and learn the sea without end.

As soon as I entered the gate of the school, there was a clay statue in the center, which was the saint Wen who bowed down.

"Entering the mountain gate is a dojo, and entering the temple is to see the true sage. It's better to go to the pillar first, so as not to be rude. ”

Shi Zixuan stepped forward, took a stick of incense from the incense altar, lit it, did not worship, only arched his hand, and sent the incense into the furnace.

"Dao Chief, aren't you a member of the Dao Sect, why do you still worship a saint?" Liu Pu saw his master Xuan Shangxiang and was very puzzled.

"It is not to worship this clay puppet, but to pay tribute to the saint of Wen, teach the virtuous and virtuous, and praise its merits. Shi Zixuan paused, and suddenly seemed to joke: "Liu Shusheng, in the future, when you go out, pass by the temple and Taoist temple, and go to a stick of incense, you may not need to pay money to support, it is always haode." ”

Liu Puzhi nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not, and said: "It's not strange to have many people, it's reasonable, it's reasonable." ”

The two laughed and walked to the study, and Shi Zixuan made up his mind to meet the teacher first.

When I entered the study, there was a scholar who was drying rice paper, combing the pen, and when I saw the two of them coming in, he stood up and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Liu Pu stepped forward and said, "I'm a student of the teacher." His surname is Liu, and he came to meet the teacher. ”

The scholar glanced at him, ignored him, and asked Shizi Xuan, "Who are you?"

Shi Zixuan glanced at him with horizontal eyebrows and sneered.

The scholar paused for a moment, and was secretly angry in his heart: "This person is so rude, I want to see Mr. so arrogant." ”

The scholar's mind turned, and his face turned cold, and he said indifferently: "The teacher is correcting the homework, and there is no time for the time being, so you can go back first." ”

Liu Puzhi was anxious when he heard this, and was about to plead, when suddenly Shi Zixuan grabbed him and shouted, "Who are you?

The voice first raised and then slowed, and Shi Zixuan said coldly: "I know, I know that you are Mr.'s scholar." I don't know, I thought you were a little ghost in front of the Hades Palace, so difficult. ”

The scholar was stunned by the drink. In the past, in this academy, which scholar came to see Mr., not to be kind to him, how could he have seen such a murderer?

Shi Zixuan flicked his sleeves, raised his hand and pointed to a place, and said slowly: "Look at what is written here, don't tell me that you can't read!"

The scholar subconsciously raised his head, and in front of the door of this study, there were two pairs pasted, which read: Bing sages and sages are humble and civilized, and Chengwen is virtuous and virtuous.

The scholar reacted, his face was ashamed and annoyed, and he played a trick and said, "You wait, I went to ask the sir, if I can't see you, I can't be the master." ”

This scholar rushed straight into the study.

"Dao Chief, why should you be embarrassed by him? As long as you say a few kind words, he will not embarrass us. Now that we have offended him, we are playing right and wrong in front of the teacher, and the teacher is angry, won't we be able to see the teacher even more?"

Liu Puzhi was a little anxious.

Shi Zixuan smiled: "Liu Shusheng." Don't worry, if you really 'ask to see', I'm afraid you won't be able to see you. ”

Liu Pu thought about it: "Then you can see it like this?"

"Eighty percent sure. If you still don't see it, think of another way. Shi Zixuan smiled.

But he said that the scholar entered the study house with anger.

As soon as I entered the inner house, I saw an old Confucian in a plain robe, lying on the couch, half-squinting and reading.

"Sir. Something's wrong. ”

The boy entered the door and shouted loudly.

The old Confucian said with a straight face: "Whew, shout, what kind of system, what's the matter?"

The scholar shouted: "Sir, a scholar came outside, saying that he was your disciple and wanted to see you." ”

"If you want to see me, there must be something. You just bring it in. The old Confucian said.

"Didn't Mr. explain it before? If the person who came was surnamed Liu, send it back, I don't dare to call the shots. ”

The scholar secretly glanced at the old Confucian student, and when he saw that Mr.'s face sank, he made up his mind and began to play with right and wrong: "Sir." That scholar is not a good person, he came here to meet Mr., and he brought a wicked man, fierce and tight, and his speech was very ugly, and he clearly did not take Mr. in his eyes. ”

The old Confucian frowned, and said secretly: "Scholar surnamed Liu? Is that Liu Puzhi? What's going on with this son, it's clear that you and I want to, why are you here to entangle again?" This son has always been stupid and stupid, when did he open his mind, and he knew how to find a helper?"

Seeing that the old Confucian was silent, the scholar was very happy in his heart, and said again: "It's more than that." The wicked man said that I am the same, I am young and do not read much, so I will be scolded. But he pointed to the words in front of the door, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, obviously taking the opportunity to sarcastically mock Mr. I think they are here to see Mr. They're looking for trouble. ”

The scholar said on his lips, and couldn't help sneering in his heart: "You deceive me, how can you see Mr."

Who knew that as soon as this old Confucian heard the words of the scholar, his heart suddenly became smart, he sat up in a hurry, and said secretly: "It's bad! It's just that this Liu Pu can't see it, but the people who are traveling with him have to see it!"

This old Confucian suddenly remembered the rules of Xuehai Academy. There is this article, which means that the teaching and learning of Xuehai Academy must have both ability and political integrity. First of all, it is good to hearsay, humble and courteous.

Now if it's just Liu Pu and straight, this old Confucian can still shirk something. But if an outsider comes to see him, but he keeps him out of the door, he is afraid that he will give birth to gossip.

Thinking of this, the old Confucian couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "How can I teach you on weekdays? I don't know how to be humble and polite, but I learn from the woman in the market, telling right and wrong, and chewing my tongue!"

The scholar wanted to lift a stone and hit his own foot, but he was angry and frightened, so he quickly knelt on the ground and begged, "I know it's wrong." Sir, he's angry!"

The old Confucian was angry with him at this time, and he just used the topic to play. straightened his clothes and said with a straight face: "Follow me to welcome guests, don't be rude again." ”

"Yes, sir. The scholar knocked his head down and walked out behind the old Confucian student.

Out of the study, the old Confucian first saw Liu Puzhi, and his psychology was tired for a while, and then he looked at Shi Zixuan, and couldn't help but stop, and said secretly: "Who is this person? ”

Although Shi Zixuan did not wear a Taoist robe today, he was not a mortal child after all, and the old Confucian student also practiced Confucianism and had his own set of art of observing people.

As soon as he thought of this, the old Confucian put down his posture, stepped forward, smiled, and said, "Pu Zhi, you are here." I've been busy lately, do you have something to do with me?"

He shouted at the scholar with a straight face: "This is your Senior Brother Liu, my disciple, come to see me today, how dare you stop me?"

The scholar almost shed tears when he was aggrieved, twisted and pinched, and reluctantly apologized: "Yes, the disciple is wrong." Senior Brother Liu, I'm sorry. ”

Liu Puzhi hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." You're not sorry for me. ”

This scholar has been honest in the past, he is used to being bullied, and he is a little overwhelmed by being daoqian for the first time.

Although the old Confucian asked the scholar to give Liu Puzhi daoqian, Yu Guang was looking at Shi Zixuan. I saw this person with his hands behind his back, and he didn't speak, and he was expressionless, and he looked inscrutable.

The old Confucian couldn't eat it accurately, so he asked Liu Puzhi and said, "Pu Zhi, who is this?"

Liu Puzhi was just about to speak, but Shi Zixuan suddenly said, "You are Liu Shusheng's teacher?"

The old Confucian heard Shi Zixuan's tone contemptuous, but he became more and more convinced that this person was extraordinary, and arched his hand: "Exactly, exactly." This son, is there something wrong with coming today?"

"Nothing else. Just because I hit it off with Liu Shusheng at first sight, I was temporarily a guest at his home. I heard him talk about Mr. Your family has a rich collection of books, not only Confucian classics and history, miscellaneous records of mountains and fields, but also some of the damaged books of the previous dynasty. Seeing that Hunting was happy, I came to Mr. to disturb him. ”

Shi Zixuan said with a smile.

When the old Confucian heard this, he smiled and said, "It turns out that Gongzi is a lover of books. Don't be busy, let's talk about it with a cup of tea first. ”

After speaking, he led the two into the study.

When entering the house, Shi Zixuan whispered to Liu Pu and said straightly: "Liu Shusheng, remember not to mention the matter of cultivating cattle for a while. Otherwise, if you don't get it back, you have to blame me. ”

Liu Puzhi now admired Shi Zixuan's five-body throw, and hurriedly whispered: "Everything is up to the Taoist chief." ”

Shi Zixuan nodded and followed the old Confucian into the inner room. As soon as I entered, I saw the unclosed scroll on the bed.

Shizi swept his eyes, but he was stunned.

In this house, in addition to some Confucian classics, more than half of them are Taoist classics.

"The old gentleman is still familiar with the Taoist scriptures?" asked Shi Zixuan.

The old Confucian laughed and said: "As the saying goes, 'red lotus, white lotus root, green lotus leaf, the three religions were originally one family', they are all ancestral ancestors, of course, you must be familiar with them." ”

Saying that, he quietly closed the scroll on the bed and put it back on the shelf.

But where can this escape Shi Zixuan's eyes?

That book of scriptures is clearly an external way of alchemy, called "Zifu Danxiao Jue", which is a multiplication method.

"In this world, it's really weird, everyone has it. Sage Wen established Confucianism, abandoned supernatural powers and disdained practice, how could he think that among his disciples and grandchildren, there were still people who admired the Tao of the gods. ”

Shi Zixuan sighed with emotion, and his heart moved slightly, but he thought of a way to get back the ploughing cow.
