Chapter 44: The Rules of the Disciples
After apprenticeship, Lu Zheng also has an additional name, called Lu Zhiyi, but both the teacher Li Yi and Mr. Le still call him Lu Zheng. About this word, it was also told to him by Mr. Le last night, Lu Zheng didn't like to think about it, although he didn't understand Weishenme, but he didn't ask much, but asked: "What is the word of Xin'er?" Unexpectedly, Mr. Le said: "Xin'er is a girl, and there is no word." "Xin'er has no words, but Mr. Le has no name, Zhongping is his word instead of his name, which makes Lu Zheng very strange.
What's more, Lu Zheng didn't understand that he wanted to study, didn't he come to treat his illness? Why did the two gentlemen still care about their own study? How could a person like them, who had such great magical abilities, teach people to read like the private school gentlemen he had seen before. However, he has been accustomed to being obedient since he was a child, and he can't figure it out left and right, so he simply doesn't want to, and the two gentlemen bothered to teach him to read, and he is only grateful in his heart. He eats and lives in the Sun Moon House for nothing, and he doesn't have to work, it's always what people ask him to do, and he does it honestly, not to mention studying.
Therefore, in this first class, when Li Yi talked about reading and reading, Lu Zheng also responded, and then honestly explained: "Teacher, I can't read?"
After a precept education, this teacher can be regarded as right, and there are no more jokes about the great virtuous brother, and now that he has worshiped the teacher, if he still calls out any great virtuous brother, he is afraid of the taste of the precept ruler, and Lu Zheng will be full.
Li Yi said: "I know you can't read, but you can always speak, right? Now let you read first, that is, let you recognize those words, and after you recognize the words, then teach you how to write. Now open the book on your desk, I'll read a sentence, you follow a sentence, read the book first. ”
Lu Zheng opened the thin book, and Li Yi first told him the title of the book, which turned out to be called "Ten Thousand Things". Then Li Yi began to read: "The creatures of heaven and earth must not be ignored, and the transformation of yin and yang must not be ignored." ”
Lu Zheng also immediately followed along, and at the same time, his fingers also pointed to the book word by word, trying to remember what the words he read looked like. He has a very good memory, and he thinks that in the two lines of words he saw on the pillar at the entrance of the Tianyuan Pavilion just now, there is the word 'heaven and earth' at the beginning, which is the word zuihou in the left and right lines.
Li Yi read ten sentences, then turned back and began to read the first sentence. Lu Zheng stumbled a little in order to recognize words for the first time, but he had an excellent memory, and he had memorized how to pronounce each word pointed at by his finger, and by the second time, he read it very fluently.
As he read it, Lu Zheng vaguely felt that this book was a record of the growth, change, form, physical properties and mutual restraint of all things between heaven and earth. From heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and even flowers, trees, birds and beasts, there are all involved, but there are many strange flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts, all of which are unheard of and unseen by Lu Zheng, and they are very rare.
For example, there are the so-called four fierce beasts between heaven and earth, which are called Qiqi, Chaos, Hanqi, gluttony, and four holy beasts, respectively called Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, etc., these four fierce beasts and the four holy beasts are collectively called the Eight Ancient Beasts, which are the spirit beasts incarnated by the chaotic ancestral qi, and the book also tells about the appearance and habits of these fierce beasts. In other aspects, the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon talked about in the book are all talking about some traces of change, such as talking about the operation of heaven and earth from the changes of the four seasons, talking about the passage of the sun and the moon from the obscurity, etc., but it is not something that Lu Zheng can understand.
After reading a few words, Lu Zheng suddenly asked: "Teacher, just now I read the Tao of Heaven is said to be round, and the Tao of Earth is said to be square." 'Is this the origin of the name of the Tianyuan Local Pavilion? But I still don't understand, what is the Heavenly Dao Yuan, the Underground Dao Fang?"
Li Yi raised his head and said expressionlessly: "Read along, don't get distracted!"
Lu Zheng shrank his neck in fright, "oh", and didn't dare to ask again, only then did he understand that his heart weishenme always said that the teacher was very fierce.
The two of them taught and learned, and the book was neither thick nor thin, but one person read one sentence after another, and read it back and forth several times until noon, and then read the book. Li Yi said: "That's it for the morning, and we'll continue in the afternoon." ”
Lu Zheng read the book all morning, while reading the words, while thinking about the laws of change between heaven and earth and all kinds of things recorded in the book, he was interested in reading, so he asked, "Teacher, what are you reading in the afternoon?"
Li Yi said: "Naturally, it's still this book?"
Lu Zheng was puzzled: "Isn't it already finished?"
Li Yi's face sank, walked up to Lu Zheng, and said: "This is just for you to read a few times, you have to be taught to read it well, you can read it yourself, and you can recite it by yourself, and then you can read it by heart, and then I want to explain it to you......
Lu Zheng whispered: "But, I can already recite it?" After speaking, he opened his mouth and began to recite, "Heaven and earth creatures, you must not ignore it, and the transformation of yin and yang must not be ignored and ......" Li Yi was about to reprimand, but after hearing it, after ten sentences, Lu Zheng was not bad at all, but catchy, and memorized the whole book without stopping in one breath, and did not mispronounce a word, which really surprised him.
Li Yi's face has always been the same as a stone carving, and at this time, he didn't say a word, and his expression was even more heavy. Lu Zheng thought that he had done something wrong again, but he didn't know that Li Yi was very surprised in his heart, and said secretly: "I didn't expect this stupid child to have such a talent, is this the son of the Three Sects?" He didn't know that even the most complicated mantras of Buddhism, Lu Zheng could recite them on the spot after hearing them a few times on the Two Realms Mountain.
The heart clapped and applauded loudly. Li Yi glared back, turned her head to look at Lu Zheng, and wanted to say something, but seeing that Lu Zheng didn't have any proud expression on his face, she was speechless for a while. I had to reach out and touch my nose, cough a few times, wave my sleeves, and say, "Let's eat!"
He actually got out of class directly!
However, Lu Zheng's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and when he got up early in the morning to study, Li Yi didn't take him to breakfast first. He still wondered in his heart, didn't the people in the Sun Moon Lu eat breakfast? There were only four people in the Sun Moon Lu in total, and Le Zhongping and Li Yi didn't eat, but it was reasonable to say that if they thought about the ascetics, they didn't eat, they were all masters with great powers, but Xin'er would never eat breakfast! Now as soon as he heard about eating, he immediately stood up, put aside his chair and left, but heard a cold snort from the teacher behind him.
Lu Zhengdeng froze, turned around slowly, and saw the teacher's face black and displeased. On one side, Xin'er left his seat and stood on the side of the desk, waving at him anxiously: "Little brother, come back quickly, you haven't saluted the teacher yet!"
Lu Zheng is a wild child, although he is restrained, but after all, he doesn't know any etiquette, he has always been straight and arrogant, otherwise he would not catch Li Yi and call out a great virtuous brother. Of course, I don't know how to bow to the teacher after class, and wait for the teacher to leave first, so that I can follow behind and exit the class. Although Li Yi just said that there are many disciple gifts, it is a pity that he did not mention this. So he hurriedly walked to Xin'er's side, learned from Xin'er, bowed to Li Yi together, and said, "The teacher has worked hard." ”
Li Yi snorted coldly again, and said: "Every move is polite! In the future, you must learn etiquette, and you can't be so unruly, you are the first time to go to class, and you will not take it as an example." "Walked out first.
When Li Yi left, the two straightened up. This class is really tiring, Xin'er saw that Lu Zheng didn't speak, knowing that he was not very happy, so he said: "Little brother, the teacher is a little stricter, but in fact, the teacher is very haode, don't be unhappy!"
Lu Zheng nodded lightly, exhaled, and said, "Well, I'll pay attention next time." Xin'er, let's go to dinner!" turned to leave, but when he looked up, he saw tall bookshelves on all sides of the room, and where was there any door, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Seeing this, Xin'er smiled and pulled Lu Zheng's hand, dragging him to take a step forward, Lu Zheng hadn't come back to his senses, there was a flower in front of him, there was an extra door in front of him, and then he looked at the empty surroundings, which was in the Tianyuan Pavilion that he had seen before. Xin'er explained on the side: "Little brother, we were on the second floor just now!"
Lu Zheng was surprised: "Then how did we get down, I saw just now that there was no door and no stairs?"
Xin'er rolled her eyes and said, "Hehe, little brother, are you begging Xin'er to tell you?"
When Lu Zheng saw her expression, he smiled ambiguously, and said, "Do you want me to help you catch butterflies?"
Xin'er's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lu Zheng's hand and shouted, "Little brother, you are so smart! How do you know that Xin'er wants you to catch butterflies?"
Lu Zhengxin said: "Just look at your expression." At that moment, he also rolled his eyes, and said with Xin'er's expression just now: "Mmmm, Xin'er, are you begging the little brother to tell you?"
Xin'er said: "Yes, ......" was only halfway through speaking, and then he realized that Lu was learning from him to speak, and said: "Oh, little brother, you are bad, you learn to speak in Xin'er, and Xin'er won't tell you!"
The two talked and laughed, Xin'er led Lu Zheng to the place to eat, and on the way, Xin'er also told Lu Zheng that it turned out that going in and out of the second floor of the Tianyuan Pavilion was only between the minds, and as soon as the mind moved, if you wanted to go in, you would naturally go in, and if you wanted to go out, you would naturally go out. Where did Lu Zheng think that this Heavenly Pavilion had such a miracle, it could actually sense people's hearts, and he was a person who didn't know any magic powers, and he could also go in and out with his thoughts, and he was amazed.
While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the place where they were eating, and it was in the pavilion directly east of the Tianyuan Pavilion. Lu Zheng remembered that this pavilion had a name, called Quzhi Pavilion. This name was told to him by the ascetic monk on the mountain of the Two Realms, and he also remembered that the room where he lived was the Spring Residence in the middle of the four o'clock.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Lu Zheng has officially eaten in the Sun Moon Pavilion, since the ascetic took him on the road, he has not eaten properly, and he was in a coma for several days as soon as he came to the Sun Moon Pavilion, and he somehow did not feel hungry after waking up, and he did not eat yesterday, until he was about to get out of class just now, and his stomach felt hungry. Fortunately, he was used to having no meal since he was a child, and he didn't care too much.
At this time, Le Zhongping and Li Yi were already sitting in the pavilion. With the lesson of the class just now, Lu Zheng didn't dare to be reckless, followed Xin'er and learned her to wash her hands in a basin on the left side of the pavilion, and then first gave Le Zhongping and Li Yi a salute outside the pavilion, and then walked lightly and quietly walked into a corner of the pavilion and stood up.
Le Zhongping smiled and shouted enthusiastically: "Lu Zheng, Xin'er, come on, come quickly, you're all hungry, I think this rule of skipping breakfast and going to class can still be changed!"
There are four small tables in the pavilion, and on each table there are more than a dozen dishes and soups. Le Zhongping and Li Yi sat on the left and right of the top head, and Xin'er sat on the left side of the bottom head, next to Le Zhongping. Lu Zheng had no choice but to sit on the right side, next to Li Yi.
The table is very low, only two feet above the ground, and there is a mat in front of the table, and the four of them are sitting on the ground, among which Li Yi and Xin'er are first kneeling on the ground, and then their hips are sitting on their heels, with their backs straight; Lu Zheng didn't know what to do for a while, and remembered the appearance of the ascetic sitting cross-legged, so he simply sat down cross-legged.
Li Yi seemed to have been waiting for him here for a long time, and as soon as Lu Zheng sat down cross-legged, he said lightly: "Get up and learn my way of sitting." ”
Lu Zheng didn't dare to disobey, and learned according to Li Yi's sitting posture, his butt sat on his heels, and his hamstrings were stretched, how awkward this posture was. Looking at the table in front of him, there were a total of twelve dishes, large and small.
The two large bowls on the left are all meat, the bowls are full of soup, one bowl of braised pork, the other bowl is chicken, the aroma is tangy, and the plate is a braised sea bass with green onions.
There are two plates on the right, a small bowl, and some chopped green onions, shredded ginger, etc. are placed in the small bowl. In the middle of the two plates, the one in front is a stir-fried cauliflower, the one in the back is mixed with tofu, one green and two white, and in the middle there are three bowls, two plates and a soup cup, three bowls are one size smaller than the bowls on the left and right, one of them is empty, the other two have a bowl of rice in it, it is steaming, and the other is a bowl of sweet soup. The soup cup is covered with a lid, and I don't know what it is, and in the plate is a pair of chopsticks, two tablespoons, and a spoon.
Lu Zheng has been hungry for a full meal since he can remember, and it is already good to mix some leftovers or half a pickle with a steamed bun, where have I seen so many dishes in one meal, and used so many dishes, looking at the tables of the other three people, they are also full of dishes, and they are suddenly dumbfounded, and they don't know how to start.
