"Sage Hall, Sage Paper, Wendong Sage?"

Listening to what Ji Zheng said, Qiu Yan pondered for a while, and asked directly: "I have heard of this sage hall, which is built in every academy, which is a place to commemorate the sages, embodies the inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism, and has the meaning of not forgetting the deeds and spirit of the sages, which means constantly exploring humanity." As he spoke, his gaze fell on the white roll of paper.

This piece of paper, just by looking at it with your eyes, you can feel a sense of smoothness, faint glow, and there is also a hidden spirit in it, pure and broad, but it is not publicized, if Qiu Yan is not close, I am afraid it is difficult to detect.

Moreover, there is only one piece of this paper, but after it is rolled up, there is no trace of dimples, exuding a toughness.

"That's right," noticing Qiu Yan's gaze, Ji Zheng nodded with a smile, "The Sage Hall embodies the inheritance and spirit, and there are clay statues of the sages in each one, but how can simple worship and nostalgia reflect the meaning of inheriting the past and opening up the future?

"Oh, could it be that the Sage Hall has other functions?" Qiu Yan could hear the meaning of the other party's words.

Ji Zheng replied: "The way of the sages, mighty, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, is the source and foundation of the order of the world, the world learns, and wants to carry it forward, but the doctrine of all families cannot be the rootless wood, the water without the source, if you want to carry forward, you must first inherit, understand the classics of history, and feel in your heart, and the clay statue in the sage hall can drive the order of heaven and earth, turn it into understanding, and integrate into the hearts of the people!"

"Hmm? Turning it into a feeling and blending it into people's hearts? How effective is it? Isn't this equivalent to a sage directly being his own teacher, teaching by word and deed? In this way, when reading books for learning and understanding classics, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and save time and energy. Qiu Yan's face changed slightly, and he faintly thought of something, so he asked, "It's just that there should be a limit, right?"

Ji Zheng nodded: "Not bad." If you want to build a sage hall, you must at least have a doctrine that you can handle, and then use it as a guide, and then with rich literary thoughts, you can use the scripture hall to constrain a place, so that the corresponding sage order can come. ”

Qiu Yan deeply agrees with this. He was carrying the spirit of two manuscripts of sages, and he was deeply touched by this, if anyone set up clay sculptures of sages and sages, they could lead to order, and the world would have been in chaos a long time ago.

Taking doctrine as a guide, this shows that it is not possible for ordinary people to have a certain understanding of the classics and even to create a school. In addition, it must be accompanied by strong literary thoughts, and it is not a person's business to be constrained by the scriptures. At the very least, it is necessary to open an altar to give lectures and gather the spirit of humanity, so that after a long time, it will become a college. No wonder the Sage Hall is in the academy. ”

Thinking about it like this, Qiu Yan understood the mystery inside and realized the meaning of the academy.

"The academy enshrines clay sculptures of sages. The clay sculpture also feeds back the sense of order, so that it is naturally outstanding and more prosperous. ”

It's a mutually reinforcing process.

Subsequently, I listened to Ji Zheng say: "However, there is no possibility of once and for all in the world, even if the doctrine is established, the academy is opened, and the disciples are in groups, in the future, it is still necessary to come up with articles that can be recognized by the spirit of the sages from time to time and enshrine them in front of the clay sculptures, if not, the spirit attached to this holy image will pass slowly and eventually return to the earth, which is also the reason for the alternation of doctrine and academy in history." ”

"Oh? I see. When he first heard this, Qiu Yan still felt strange, but then he thought about it, and knew that it was the right reason, this shijie Shinto, the way of life, is in the world, and the extraordinary power is not scarce, but there is also a certain law, and it will not stop for no reason.

At the beginning, there were grandmasters who opened sects, established doctrines, prospered colleges, gathered popularity, humanities, in fact, it has already involved luck, with the spread of doctrines, more and more people abide by and use, it involves cause and effect, if you can't always bring forth the new, constantly improve, keep pace with the times, just cause and effect involved, the changes in the world, it is enough to make a school difficult, zuihou ossified and destroyed.

By this time, Qiu Yan had roughly guessed the role of this sage hall when discussing the Tao in the Xingtan.

"It seems that the Sage Hall is a bridge between people and the spirit of the sages, and it must also be the key to the soul of Shilin. ”

"That's right," Ji Zheng showed a hint of admiration, but he didn't expect Qiu Yan to be able to deduce the key from just a few words, "Although I have never entered Shilin, I also know that Shilin is not ordinary, and you can only go through the clay sculpture of a sage." ”

Speaking of this, she shook her head with a little regret and said, "It's a pity, if you can enter an academy, with the talent of your son, you will definitely be able to move the sages and leave traces in the Shilin in advance, so that it will be much more convenient when you discuss the Tao in the Xingtan." ”

As she spoke, she kept shaking her head.

Qiu Yan also heard some clues, and couldn't help asking: "Wendong sage, refers to writing articles that are recognized by the spirit of sages?"

Ji Zheng nodded: "Yes, but it must be said that there is something and reasonable, if you simply pile up rhetoric, no matter how splendid the article is, it is all in vain, this kind of article, the important thing is to be in harmony with the spirit of the sage, and after writing, it must be enshrined in front of the clay statue, otherwise it is useless, Wen Zhen clay sculpture, give birth to induction, the person who wrote the article will also have a certain harvest, and leave traces in the Shilin, if you don't join the academy, you can't do it, unless you ......"

Speaking of this, she pointed to the white paper on the table: "With ordinary paper, the text written can be moved by moving the holy image, and you can get feedback on your feelings, but it is not as good as this kind of sage paper, the articles written on the sage paper can directly refine the writer's thoughts, let the mind and mind melt into it, and you can feel it with just a piece of paper!"

"Isn't that just a piece of paper that has the effect of a clay statue?" Qiu Yan had already discovered the extraordinariness of this paper, and took advantage of the situation to ask, "What is the difference between this paper, and it can be named a sage?"

Unconsciously, the two have become familiar with each other, which is also what the two have learned, and there is less estrangement when talking. Moreover, Qiu Yan also felt the artistic conception of a scholar from this Ji Zheng, unlike an ordinary woman.

"The manufacturing process of sage paper is the same as that of ordinary paper, but the raw material is not bark, cloth, what it is, even I don't know very well, but I know that after this kind of paper is done, it should be placed under the clay statue seat of the sage hall for many years, so that the spirit of the sage can penetrate into it, so it takes a long time, very rare. ”

Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the sage paper intently: "It turns out that the spirit of the sage has invaded it, no wonder it can have this equivalent effect, containing a broad and pure spiritual conception, but when the apricot altar talks about the Tao, what is the use of this thing?"

"The soul enters the Shilin, the Sage Hall is the passage, this sage paper is the portal, and the article is the key to open the door, all of which are indispensable," Ji Zheng said, holding the scroll of the sage with both hands, and handed the paper over, "This one was brought out by me from home, so I will give it to the son, so as to repay the grace of saving the soul." ”

Looking at the piece of paper, Qiu Yan didn't reach out to take it, but groaned for a while, shook his head and said: "Although I have some small favors to you, this sage paper involves a lot of things, even if it is given to me, without the sage hall, it can't be used, and it is a waste of a piece, I listen to your words, I should also have the ambition to do this, why not keep it for my own use." ”

Hearing this, Ji Zheng did not withdraw his hand, but said: "The matter of the Sage Hall, Qiu Gongzi don't worry, since I wrote that invitation, I won't be untargeted, I won't hide it from you, I will give this piece of paper to Gongzi, on the one hand, it is to repay the kindness, but there are other considerations, I want Gongzi to help." ”

"Oh, please explain the matter, so that Qiu can make a decision. Qiu Yan was not in a hurry, walked to the table and sat down, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Seeing this, Ji Zheng had no choice but to take back the paper first, and also stepped forward to sit down, and said: "After knocking on the gate of Shilin with sage paper, it can also benefit others......" Speaking of this, she stopped talking, just looked at Qiu Yan.

"Miss Ji means ......," Qiu Yan flicked his fingers.

Ji Zheng got up from his seat, saluted Qiu Yan, and said, "The little girl wants to invite the son to take me into Nashilin with me." ”

Qiu Yan's face was puzzled: "The girl can write with one hand, the words are charming, and she is peaceful, showing that she has an understanding of the scriptures and righteous articles, that is, she writes it herself, and she may not be able to enter Shilin, so why bother to seek the near and far." ”

Ji Zheng sighed and said: "I have the pseudonym 'Ji Zheng' Quartet to study, there are some reasons, otherwise I will not fail to check for a while, let that Tang Yi take the soul, although I am a descendant of the Ji family, but I am also subject to this, if I want to enter Shilin, I need to use external forces, if the son wants to know, the little woman can also tell the truth." This dedication is out of sincerity, and I ask my son to fulfill it. ”

Qiu Yan heard this, pondered for a moment, and was about to respond, when his face suddenly changed slightly.

..................

Southern Xinjiang, Jiannan Province, in the middle of Jiuling Mountain.

Stove Mountain.

Since Qiu Yan's Shinto expanded and covered the mountains and rivers, this place has become more and more calm, but the surrounding mountain people are hunting, and the situation of the weak and the strong in the forest has not changed, and Qiu Yan has no intention of interfering, which is like the metabolism of the human body, forcibly changing, but it is counterproductive, and it also involves energy and time.

Of course, for the demons who have cultivation, they still have to be restricted.

The demon cave and demon mansion in the mountain and river are all the same, but they are divided into subordinates, and they are under the command of the upper and lower levels, and the responsibilities are joint, and the subordinates make mistakes and are punished together.

Under the command of the Stove God, the three demons are the three demons, the Golden Retriever General, the Crane General, and the Hao General, all of whom are mountain guards on the Stove Mountain. Among them, the golden retriever general has refined the five spirits, and the remaining two demons are the four spirits.

These three demons have the responsibility of leading and supervising the demons in the entire Jiuling Mountain and Daxue River region, and the matters involved are very cumbersome, but they are enjoying themselves-

I don't know how much better it is to have a soldier than when I am in heaven.

Therefore, in order to show their prestige and authority, the three demons often let their demon soldiers practice, just like today, large and small demons gathered at the foot of the stove mountain, divided into two sides, and practiced the art of war.

It's just that they just put away Jiashi, but there was a sudden change around them!

I heard a long howl coming from the sky, shaking like thunder, and directly shaking many little demons who only refined one spirit and two spirits to the instability of their feet!

In a blink of an eye!Invaded the realm of the gods!(To be continued......)
