Chapter 128: All kinds of scholars (Part 1)

The academic palace located in Jingkou Mountain in the Yanling Dynasty has been calm and calm these days. In these days when the master of Shenxie Mountain has let countless monks among the mountains and rivers look sideways, this mountain and river Confucian school is the first to learn Gong, the actual controller of the entire Yanling, did not express anything.
Whether it is watching the master Liang also went to Yuwu Mountain to teach Yang Changsheng, which led to the appearance of Chen Sheng's tablet, or Liang Yi spoke at the foot of Jianshan Mountain to provoke Chao Qingqiu, the only sword fairy in the mountains and rivers. Then he had a fight with the ancestor of Jianshan who hadn't been in the mountains and rivers for a long time, and finally was able to climb Jianshan. It's not a trivial matter.
But even so, the prestige of Guanzhu was abruptly raised in the mountains and rivers, and even after the saint’s first name in the mountains and rivers, it stands to reason that as the only Confucianism among the three religions that is likely to be able to wrestle with Taoism, It should be a response. The rest of the academies and schools in Yanling have made some small sounds, but the largest Yanling Academy is not disturbed, as if a pool of stagnant water, watching this huge rock. After smashing it in, it didn't make any noise.
This academy seems to be indifferent to everything the master does.
This is really puzzling.
But no matter what, no scholars will come to ask the story of this academy and why those who do not act, nor will the nobles of Luoyang City come to ask about the attitude of the academy. After all, Taoism has been in the mountains and rivers for these years, and it is no longer simple. One of the three religions of the single.
The argument that the family is dominant has been day after day.
What's more, fighting with people is not the attitude that Confucianism should have.
What a sage said is a scholar, and how to be a scholar. One sage said, "Study, align the family, govern the country and the world." Another Confucian sage said, "Establish a heart for the heaven and the earth, establish the way for the life and the people, and continue to learn from the sage. Peace for all generations."
Over the past six thousand years, Confucianism has produced four sages. Each sage has different doctrines. Even the simplest questions have different opinions. These six thousand years have allowed a group of scholars under Confucianism to learn and think. All are different, but now there are only four saints. If Confucianism was at its peak before, Confucianism was full of schools and theories.
It is common to have more than a dozen answers to the same question.
But the nature of Confucianism, most scholars still believe in a word of etiquette.
It is always different from Taoism.
There are constant storms outside the mountain, and calm inside the mountain.
The master of Shenxieshan has been in the limelight these days, but the master of the school is silent.
This is the most knowledgeable scholar besides the four sages of Confucianism in the world. In these days, he has done nothing, no articles and poems have flowed out, and he has never given a class. Occasionally, a school disciple sees this. The location of the head teacher is beside a clear pond in the back mountain.
This Qingtan is longer than the history of the Academy. The water is clear and visible. The old masters in the Academy like to come to this Qingtan to ask questions about teaching, so this Qingtan is also called the Scholarship Pool by most scholars in the Academy.
There were no fish in the Xuewentan at the beginning. After the old masters were tired of asking for teaching, they always found it boring when they were sitting and resting beside the Xuewentan. Later, I didn’t know which old master suddenly wanted to bring a green carp into the pool, which attracted the rest. The master followed suit, and over time, there were more and more fish in this learning pond, but for the matter of fish, most of the masters' hobbies and visions were not far apart, so this learning pool has only this kind of green carp so far.
Since there are fish in the pond, naturally some people come to fish. Since there are fish in this pond of learning, many masters in the academy like to come here to go fishing without having to do anything, but there is a strange thing that is puzzling.
That is, even though there are fish in this pond, no matter what the bait is, there has never been a fish that will bite the bait, which makes people very puzzled.
During this period, many masters who were proficient in this way came here, without exception, they got nothing.
No one wants to eat the fish in this pond, but no one can do it.
Over time, no one was fishing in this pond of learning, and occasionally old masters were asking for instruction by the pond, and they could only sigh while resting watching the happy fish in this pond.
But these days, when the scholars in the academy saw the head teacher, they discovered that the head teacher was really fishing in the pool. He didn't know what kind of bait was used, but it always seemed that the head teacher was not for nothing.
It's just the bamboo basket of the master, and it has never contained a fish.
This scholar with the best knowledge in the world has never taken the fish he caught. On the contrary, he just glanced at it and the rod flicked, and the fish naturally loosened from the hook and fell into the pool. In the water.
Startled a lot of splashes.
From early morning to dusk, the master never picked up a fish.
This has made many scholars who have been paying attention here feel a little disappointed. They ask questions about teaching, and their thoughts and behaviors are definitely different from ordinary people. They don’t understand, but it’s normal, but everyone wants to follow this. I can see something from the headmaster's actions. After all, isn't the gap with the headmaster shorter?
Unlike most scholars in Xuegong, Zhou Xuance, an outrageous old gentleman at Xuegong Cangshuge, not only ignores matters outside the mountain, but also doesn't care about fishing with the master teacher. While many scholars were paying attention to the Xuewentan, Zhou Xuance was looking at Huang Jin, a scholar who had only recently gone up the mountain.
Huang Jin, a scholar who had not yet reached his age, was originally just Zhou Guo’s scholar before he went to the mountain. He participated in an imperial examination, but did not completely finish all the imperial examination subjects, so he resolutely left Shaoliang City. Going to a certain place to relatives, the final result was not satisfactory. After returning to his hometown, Yan Yu originally wanted to take him back to the academy, but he did not agree. Later, when he went up the mountain alone, he suffered a lot. Because of a blessing in disguise, Zhou Xuance became a handyman disciple of this Cangshuge, but he was actually no different from Zhou Xuance's student.
Being a student of this uncle is probably the most embarrassing thing in the academy apart from being a student in charge.
Huang Jin squatted on the ground, watching with gusto watching a group of ants drag the corpse of a wasp into the cave.
Zhou Xuance didn't say anything, just thinking about what conclusion this young man would draw from this ant.
Since Huang Jin went up the mountain, in these days in the library, the one thing he has done the most is to read books. Although there are many artifacts of high grade in the library, the number of those artifacts is far behind. Books in the library.
The collection of books in this academic palace is almost unmatched. The Dengtian Tower on Shenxie Mountain is known as having three thousand books, and this library is said to have tens of thousands of true books. Although the two are not true or false, But it's not fake that you should know that there are many books.
Huang Jin has read a lot of books these days, and he knows a lot of truths, but his cultivation realm is progressing slowly. For this reason, Zhou Xuance doesn’t care, he would rather see Huang Jin become a realm low to the ground, but he can learn more. Such a scholar in the sky. He would rather abandon others for the sake of realm.
The scenery in the sea of ​​books is the most beautiful scenery Zhou Xuance has ever seen.
After a while, Huang Jin stood up, still carrying the oil-paper umbrella behind his back, nothing else.
Zhou Xuance closed his eyes and rested his mind in the distance, knowing that Huang Jin would soon open his mouth to ask questions.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Huang Jin asked: "Uncle Zhou, a hundred monks with low realm together can probably beat a monk with a higher realm than theirs, but no matter how many scholars with little knowledge, you should It's not as good as a scholar like a master, right?"
Zhou Xuance squinted his eyes and shook his head and said softly, "No, the scholars in the world can have a master, and it is hard to say whether there is, but if there are, it is only one or two. Then the rest of the scholars are really higher than the master Comparable? Not at all. There are many scholars who are not as good as the master teacher in terms of overall learning. But in one aspect, they may be better than the master teacher. It doesn’t need to be too much, just one point. The knowledge of so many scholars is natural. It should be a little bit more than the palm-teaching question. The palm-teaching is not perfect. If he understands the truth in the world, it is just nonsense. Even the saints above us don't know all about it."
Huang Jin thoughtfully, and finally nodded, as if there was nothing to say.
Zhou Xuance took the initiative to ask: "This time the Saint's Cave Mansion reappears, it is Gu Yuan's little girl who is determined in the academy. There is nothing wrong with it. Reading seeds, baby bumps, just Huang Jin. If you are the head teacher, how do you decide on this?"
Huang Jin frowned and said: "Junior Sister Gu Yuan is the seed of reading, and she has a good spiritual talent. From the perspective of the school, it is understandable, but it is always unfair. If Huang Jin is the head teacher, she will only choose Junior Sister Gu Yuan. ."
Zhou Xuance said with great interest: "Talk about the reason."
Huang Jinjing said calmly: "If you are based on knowledge, Senior Sister Gu Yuan is still young, compared to the other seniors in the academy, it is normal to have insufficient knowledge. But if you compare it to realm cultivation, It’s not a long time for Junior Sister Gu Yuan to step on the road of cultivation, and there is no advantage. Neither of these can be fair to Junior Sister Gu Yuan. Is it possible that a lottery is the final decision?"
Zhou Xuance added the following for him, "The saint's cave is fighting for opportunities for cultivation, and those with extremely talented talents will naturally get higher, so there is no problem in choosing the little girl of Gu Yuan."
Huang Jinpo Tianhuang smiled and said: "Junior Sister Gu Yuan has always been likable, so no one should be dissatisfied."
Zhou Xuance looked calm and calmly asked: "Huang Jin, the old man will ask you one more question. After asking, he will decide whether you can go to the second floor to study."
Huang Jin's expression is weak. There are three floors in the library. The first floor contains some Confucian classics, and the third floor is equipped with sage artifacts. On the second floor, there are countless sages and sage articles. Normal scholars are not qualified to enter the second floor. floor.
Huang Jin claimed to have read a lot of books before. It's just staying on the first floor. Now that you have the opportunity to enter the second floor, it is naturally worthy of attention.
Huang Jin looked at Zhou Xuance seriously, and the latter slowly said, "Huang Jin, what do you want to be when you come up the mountain? Do you want to be a master with no low knowledge, or a monk with no low realm?"
Huang Jin touched the umbrella, and smiled: "In fact, students most want to be officials on the party in charge. The two saints' expectations for scholars are to cultivate their moral integrity and govern the country together, and the world is peaceful. This statement is more in line with Huang Jin's meaning. Maybe it's because Huang Jin has no ambitions."
Zhou Xuance snorted coldly, "What a Huang Jin with no ambitions, then go to the second floor and improve your aspirations."
Huang Jin laughed and paid a solemn salute to Zhou Xuance.
Zhou Xuance was in a daze. He always wanted to see the shadow of a certain scholar in this scholar.
But I can't always see it.
On the scholarship pool, after the sky dimmed, the head teacher got up. This scholar in plain clothes was thin and thin. If not everyone in the school knew that this scholar would be the head teacher, a scholar with unfathomable cultivation and knowledge. .
Perhaps no one would regard him as a cultivator of the ascending stairs realm. There are several top cultivators in the world, even if they are not against the master, they are not far behind.
Putting away the fishing rod and bamboo basket, the teacher got up and walked slowly, stopping in front of a simple hut.
A voice came from the hut, "Su Ye, do you understand?"
The voice was full of doubts.
The people in the hut directly called the headmaster, but the headmaster didn't look strange.
The head teacher answered calmly, "This question is too difficult, I can't see through."
The person in the hut quickly sneered and said, "There are still questions in the world that Su Ye can't understand. You are not known as the most educated scholar in the world?"
The head teacher looked at the hut, "Mister's knowledge is naturally better than Su Ye, but my husband can't understand either, so what should I do?"
The person in the hut seemed a little annoyed, so he cursed in disregard of his affection, "Su Ye, you bastard, if the old man can figure it out, why have you been here for decades? You can't think of the same problem. In 2015, you ended up just like the old man. At that time, will you see if you have a better mentality than the old man?"
The instructor smiled: "In a quiet room, this kind of question is easier to think through, but Mr. is still so unpretentious. Let me say the last sentence. Mr.'s learning over the years is indeed a dog."
The man in the hut seemed to be very angry. He gritted his teeth and roared: "Su Ye, how did the old man accept you as a student back then!"
The instructor shook his head, "I don't know, if it wasn't for my husband who insisted on accepting me as a beginner, maybe the students would follow Master Li, and their knowledge would be higher than they are now.
After the head teacher said these words, there was deathly silence in the hut, and the man stopped speaking.
It seems that these three words of Master Li have pricked that person's weakness.
The instructor changed his question, "Sir, how much more knowledge was Master Li back then than you?"
Before the words were over, a quick cough came from the hut.
Obviously the man was very angry.
The head teacher was not prepared to let go of his plan like this. He suppressed his smile and said: "Master Li back then, everyone said that his writing was the best in the world, and his knowledge was unparalleled in the world, but you can mention that Mr. In terms of speaking, don’t the husband feel ashamed?
The man snorted coldly: "The old man's knowledge, how can other people judge themselves."
The head teacher said "it is of course": "No wonder someone had to practice in those days just to use his fist to make sense when he was not as knowledgeable as others?"
There was a ping-pong-pong sound from the hut, as if someone became angry and smashed a lot of things.
The head teacher couldn't hold back anymore and began to laugh.
The person's voice came out again, "Su Ye, since you can't figure out the question, you can ask Liang Yi."
Suddenly, the head teacher lost his voice. He went to ask a master of Taoism, how can there be anything?
The man seemed to "speak with a heart and soul" and said: "Anyway, there is not much difference between Confucianism and Taoism. At least when both sides make up their minds to play tricks, the difference is really not that big. He Liangxi holds every ten years. One of the most important links in the Taoist society is to make sense, and we can have it here in Yanling."
The head teacher said helplessly: "I don't want to do these things before I think through the problem."
The man asked back: "If you can't figure it out all your life, you will not plan for the school for the rest of your life?"
The head teacher waved his hand, "I can't figure it out for a lifetime, so I think for a lifetime."
"roll!"
The head teacher laughed and left.

Huang Jin ascended the second floor. After going upstairs, Zhou Xuance met Gu Yuan, a little girl in a plain clothes outside the library attic.
Zhou Xuance frowned. The little girl whispered to Master Zhou. In fact, she thought she should call Master Zhou Xuance.
Zhou Xuance looked at Yan Yu in the distance, and said calmly: "Where did you come and go?"
He smiled bitterly, turned and left.
In this academic palace, the words of the uncle master are actually more important than the words of the master teacher, and they are more difficult to oppose.
After seeing Yan Yu leave, Zhou Xuance frowned and said: "A little girl is not a dozen-year-old old man who does what she does in such a dress."
Holding a book, Gu Yuan whispered: "Mr. said that this trip represents the school palace, don't wear too brightly."
Zhou Xuance said with a stern face, "Who will the Academy let you take you out?"
Gu Yuan raised his head and pointed at Zhou Xuance.
Zhou Xuance was startled, and then smiled: "Since the old man is escorting you, then what are you afraid of and how you like it!"
Gu Yuan raised his head and asked a little uncertainly: "Uncle Master, are you serious?"
Zhou Xuance nodded calmly, "As long as it is not for the master of Shenxieshan, no one can stop the old man."
Gu Yuan finally nodded this time, and said in a low voice, "Then I will go back and change another suit immediately. Uncle Master is waiting for me!"
Zhou Xuance was about to speak, and he had already seen the little girl hop around for a long time.
Zhou Xuance was startled, and then he smiled from the heart.
This little girl is really pleasing.
In the end, Zhou Xuance turned his head to look at the library, and whispered: "Huang Jin, you are good to be a scholar who governs the country and the world, but why don't you have more ambitions to be the kind of scholar who keeps on going? Do you recognize it if you choose?"
There was silence in front of the library, and no one answered.
Zhou Xuance sat down again, closed his eyes and rested.
