Saint Immortal Way

() How many days passed, the first day of junior high school, and there was snow all night.It was a little cold in the morning, and the earth was covered with silver, and it looked clean at a glance.

In the Ming Auditorium of Bailongtan Academy, 63 Confucian scholars sit in front of the desk. Most of these Confucian scholars are excellent students who cultivate righteousness, and there are only a few who are young students who cultivate splendid energy. Lu Yang is one of them.There is even a student who is only six years old, who is a student who cultivates meaningful energy.

Such a little kid probably hasn't died yet, but he also signed up for the big gift competition, which can be described as a wonderful thing.

Confucian scholars naturally dare not underestimate the student who is only six years old, because he is the grandson of Cao Daoyuan, the head of the academy, and he has just entered the first level of Lixin Taoism. Although his Taoism is low, he has a high starting point. He is only six years old today and has a bright future ahead of him.

The head of the school, Cao Daoyuan, is a well-known master in Huangzhou. He has made great achievements in studying Kuangli, and even published a highly respected treatise on Dali, which is well-known in Kyushu.

His little grandson, Cao Fangyuan, is said to be a young genius who studied Kuangli and was able to write commentaries at the age of five. He shouted: "The benevolent loves others, the rites are orderly, and the way of sages is explained here."

It is enough to be proud to have such intelligent descendants.

The Princess of Shouyang Palace, Master Cao and the Confucian teachers entered the hall one after another and sat down at the long table in front of the hall.Lu Yang knew quite a few Confucian masters, besides the principal, there were also several supervisors, including Ye Dahongru and Lu Yang's teacher Huang Zongxi.

Cao Daoyuan glanced at the Confucian scholars in the hall, he was quite satisfied, and smiled to the left and right: "This year's Grand Court Competition, the number of people seems to be a bit more than the previous one, and those who can participate in the Great Court Competition are all virtuous and aspiring to the holy way Confucian scholars, we should be relieved!"

"Yes, etiquette is the foundation of a country, and it cannot be separated for a moment. The way of sages and sages is also in it!" Princess Shouyang nodded and smiled, and glanced at the many Confucian scholars in the school, and found Lu Yang's calm figure, and couldn't help smiling.

"Okay, the Six Arts Competition is a grand event, and the Daliyuan Competition is the first. We should pay attention to it, as an example for the people of the world. If there is nothing wrong, then we will announce the start?" Cao Daoyuan looked around.

"It's time to start!" The Confucian teachers nodded, and Princess Shouyang agreed.

"Bailongtan Academy, Dali courtyard competition, start! The competition time is two hours, the top three will be selected, and the one with the best commentary will win!" Cao Daoyuan announced solemnly.

The Confucian scholars who were sitting reverently started to do it one after another, unfolding a blank piece of paper on the desk, and lifting the Langhao brush.

It turns out that there is a set of ordinary brushes, ink, paper and inkstones on each desk, but most of the Confucian scholars have already achieved a small degree of practice and don't need to grind them at all.

"The friendship is also based on the way, and the reception is also based on courtesy..."

"The foundation of etiquette is to prevent chaos..."

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and kindness are to others, just like goods and corn are to the home..."

"If people are rude, they will not stand, if they are rude, they will not succeed, and if they are rude, the country will be restless..."

"If the country respects courtesy, the country will prosper; if the family respects courtesy, the family will grow; if the body is courteous, the body will be cultivated; if the heart is courteous, the heart will be peaceful..."

The Confucian scholars seem to have been prepared for a long time, one by one writing vigorously, and what’s more, every time they write a sentence, they will stir it up and hang it in front of themselves for the Confucian teachers to watch, hoping to be recognized by their eyes, Into the top three.

Lu Yang was not in a hurry to start writing. He turned his head to look and found that Cao Fangyuan hadn't started writing yet, so he knew that this guy was also observing, observing the level of other people in the academy.

To be honest, Lu Yang was rather disappointed, but also quite happy.

Disappointed is that most people's comments are not very good. All the comments have been repeated by Confucian scholars for hundreds of years. The suspicion of old rice.

However, it is also understandable that all the students here are young or even young students. It is estimated that their wisdom has not yet developed, their knowledge is narrower, and they do not have many thought-provoking insights in the theory of etiquette.There are many great Confucianists, masters, and even saints who discuss rituals, and it is really not easy to expound some refreshing new theories.

"How is it? Do you have any fresh ones?" Cao Daoyuan turned his head and asked the left and right. The Confucian masters shook their heads, as if this situation had been expected.

This is not to blame for the Confucian scholars, it is true that the previous Daliyuan is more than normal, and there are very few geniuses born out of nowhere who can make a deafening statement that has never been made before.There is no extravagant expectation for the courtyard competition, and it is estimated that it will be interesting only if it is above the hall competition.

Lv Yang has also recently studied the situation of the great gift competition over the years, and he is quite happy to see that this year is still the same, thinking that it is God who let him stand out.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yang picked up a pen and scribbled down a piece of ritual luck on the white paper.

"The way of the great way is also that the world is for the public. Select the virtuous and capable, trustworthy and cultivate harmony. Therefore, people should not only kiss their relatives, nor only sons and sons. Let the old have an end, the strong will be useful, and the young will be good. Widowed and lonely Those who are sick, all have something to support. Males have a share, and females have their own. Goods and evils are abandoned on the ground, and there is no need to hide them in oneself. Strength and evils do not come from the body, so there is no need to do it for oneself. Stealing and messing with thieves is not done. Therefore, outsiders are not closed. It is called Datong..."

This treatise, with the theme of Datong, expounds on the propriety and fortune. It is eloquent and less than a thousand words, but the words are exquisite and the writing is quite elegant, which makes people unable to find faults. New style, explain what the predecessors have not said!

After finishing this essay, Lu Yang picked up the brush, and the article condensed with the timeless spirit of the Five Emperors immediately flew up and hung in front of him for the Confucian teachers who were judges to read.

"Hey...Master, the commentary written by the Confucian scholar who cultivates the spirit of splendor is very good...The journey of the great way is also, the world is for the public. Select the virtuous and capable, and talk about faith and harmony." A Confucian master suddenly said with.

Cao Daoyuan also noticed that it was Lu Yang, and he knew about Huang Zongxi's disciples.Lu Yang, a Confucian student, entered the academy a little late, but from student to child student, he has advanced very quickly, and his poetry is well-known throughout the world. He is a Confucian student who he is very optimistic about. pillars!

"Well, the argument is very high, and it is really refreshing. In the world of Great Harmony, this ceremony is different from today's. It is full of benevolence, righteousness, and goodness. It is indeed thought-provoking!" Cao Daoyuan looked at Master Huang, feeling quite emotional.

It is inconvenient for Master Huang to make comments, but Princess Shouyang did not have this taboo, and said with a smile: "It is indeed sublime to be able to think this way!" Other Confucian masters nodded and felt the same way.

Cao Fangyuan also felt good when he saw that Lu Yang wrote the chapter on Great Harmony. He thought for a while, opened the ink stick, and picked up a pen to write on the white paper: "Rites are the most humane. The way of a sage is explained in Daren Dali , self-restraint and reverence, is for benevolence..."

Eloquent and eloquent, written in one book, with a wave of his sleeves, the words condensed with meaningful aura flew up and hung in front of him. All the Confucian masters read it and nodded.

"As expected of the master's little grandson, this scripture has a clear understanding and is quite wise!" A Confucian teacher smiled and stroked his long gray beard.

Cao Daoyuan waved his hand, frowned and said, "Don't brag to him, this commentary is still so ingenious, it's not worth mentioning! Look, the commentary written by Sima Qun is still on top of it!"

The Confucian masters looked and saw a gloomy exposition written by a scholar in front of him. The first sentence of the opening sentence: "Soldiers, the use of etiquette!"

The following is a discussion of the dialectical relationship between etiquette and military affairs. It is quite insightful and insightful. This kind of discussion is also quite extraordinary.

Soon the time has come, and all Confucian scholars have finished their expositions, and the Confucian teachers already have a good idea of ​​the expositions that can enter the top three.

After some discussion, three essays were determined, and the three Confucian scholars were Sima Qun, Lu Yang, and Cao Fangyuan.It's just that this ranking is not yet public, and all Confucian scholars are asked to disperse first.

In the early morning of the second day of junior high school, the three finalists were announced. Sima Qun was the champion, Lu Yang was the second, and Cao Fangyuan was the second. The three essays were all written on white paper and pasted up to show openness and sincerity.

This result stunned many people. The reason is that the three rankings in the championship and sub-seasons are not for Xiusheng, but for Xiusheng, Tongsheng, and students.Sima Qun is a Xiusheng, Lu Yang is a Tongsheng, and Cao Fangyuan is a student. Although the latter's morality is lower, the remarks he made made all the Xiusheng and Tongsheng feel ashamed.

The bulletin board is located in a large square beside Nanming Lake, called Nanming Square, right in front of a school supervisor’s hall, countless Confucian scholars and schoolboys stand on tiptoe to watch the message board from a distance, the dust of the first academic comparison has finally settled, it turned out to be like this Case.

The three essays were pasted on a large wooden board, and everyone could see them. Confucian scholars commented and compared them. Sure enough, these three essays were brilliant, innovative and surprising. No wonder they were shortlisted. .

Qian Lai and Qian Duo, two brothers and sisters crowded in the crowd, looked at the three articles, showing a look of shock.

"Then Lu Xiongtai is really amazing. Poetry can be completed in seven steps, and he climbed a building to compose a poem. Now, in a commentary, he directly picked the No. 2 of the Daliyuan Competition. I think the State Competition can still be brilliant!" Qian Duo said.

Qian Lai searched around with his chubby eyes, and said with a smile, "I've seen it for a long time. Brother Lu is a character. If he didn't have two brushes, how could Master Huang accept him as a disciple? It's a pity that Brother Lu couldn't be with us. One class, otherwise I really want to take advantage of it!"

"He's over there, why don't you go over there?" Qian Duo suddenly saw Lu Yang passing by Nanming Lake, and hurriedly grabbed Qian to meet him.

"Brother Lu Yang, we meet again!" Qian Lai said with a laugh.

"It turned out to be Xiongtai Qian. I haven't seen you for a while. I wonder how your grandfather is doing?"

"Alright!" Qian Lai mysteriously pulled Lu Yang aside, and whispered, "Brother Lu, I heard that His Royal Highness the Princess is sending people to buy elixir everywhere, but our family has a lot of them. Can't you introduce Her Royal Highness to my family?"

"Does your family know how to grow elixir?" Lu Yang's heart suddenly moved.

"Yes, there are several worshipers in our Qian family, all of whom are experts in growing medicine, and our family has the largest medicine garden in Moling Mansion, where we grow more than a thousand kinds of elixir!"

"Well, you should prepare the list first. As long as you are free, I will take you to see His Highness. Then you can play it by ear!" Lu Yang smiled, thinking that Princess Shouyang is also looking for an expert in planting medicine. Headache.

"Then thank you very much, brother Lu is the one who is righteous!" Qian Lai pulled Lu Yang and called him brother and brother, very familiar with each other.
