Saint Immortal Way

() Lu Yang successfully made a statement, and made an extraordinary oath, which shocked the people of Shendu. Lu Yang's oath can be said to summarize all the pursuits of people in the holy way.

Many young scholars even quickly intercepted the essence of Lu Yang's oath, condensed it into words with literary spirit, and hid it in their own gods. .

Lu Yang's words really made many young scholars excited. They studied the relationship between heaven and man, understood the changes of the past and the present, judged the beauty of the world, analyzed the principles of all things, established their hearts for the world, established their lives for the people, inherited the knowledge of the past, and worked for Wan Shi Kai Tai Ping really speaks to the hearts of all scholars, and has won the sympathy and approval of many scholars.

It's just that ever since Lu Yang entered the Stone Pagoda of Seeking Knowledge and Learning, he has been living in seclusion, and his daily life in the stone pagoda is also monotonous. Apart from practicing in the pagoda, asking his teacher for advice, and going to the library of the Baishengtai Temple to read the world's classics, every other day For a period of time, listen to the lectures of saints or masters, and learn the techniques of the holy way of practice.

With Lu Yang's current practice, he is indeed suitable for practicing the art of the holy way.In the holy way, there are 72 Earth Shajutsu and 36 Tiangangjutsu, all of which are based on Wenqi and formed through hard work.

Lu Yang first picked some suitable and simple techniques of the holy way to practice, and the effect is very obvious. In this way, the practice in the Stone Pagoda for Learning from True Knowledge is calm and rare. <Across the sweltering summer, came the cold autumn, Lu Yang has been studying in the stone pagoda for more than half a year.

The saint called Lu Yang to him: "Chunyang, your Taoism is gradually becoming stable now, and you have gained something from practicing in the stone pagoda. It is time to go back to Bailongtan Academy to sort out your student records!"

Lu Yang nodded: "Yes!"

The sage waved his hand: "Your current Taoism is the first level of Liyan. According to the rules of the dynasty, you should graduate from an academy, and graduates generally need to study abroad for more than half a year. Do you have any plans?"

Lu Yang thought for a while, and said, "I plan to travel around the two prefectures of Huangze to increase my knowledge!"

The saint nodded: "Very good, the dynasty may take action on Nanhuang next year, and it will be very beneficial for you to be familiar with the situation in Nanhuang in advance!"

"Yes, the disciple understands, so I will bid farewell to the teacher!" Lu Yang bowed down on the ground.

"Well, go, all the apprentices from my Baishengtai Temple are good Confucianists. It won't be long before you make meritorious deeds, so you can do it for yourself!" The saint waved his hand.

Lu Yang bid farewell, turned around and left the stone pagoda, and said goodbye to the brothers and sisters of the stone pagoda one by one, and then left the Baishengtai Temple, and took a carriage to Huangfu.

Huang Zongxi's family had already returned to Bailongtan Academy in Huangzhou, and even Lu Jianjia went back with them. His younger sister Lu Jianjia has already entered the academy to practice.

"My nephew is going back now? Has the sage agreed?" Sitting in the lobby, Huang Zongsi comforted Lu Yang.

"Yes, this time has really caused trouble for my uncle's family!"

"What did my nephew say, you are out of touch, it is the glory of the Huang mansion that my nephew can live in my Huangfu, so, since my nephew is going back to Bailongtan Academy, I will let Tianhua go with you? "

"No need, no need, how dare you work brother?!" Lu Yang was ashamed.

"Haha, virtuous brother, Brother Yu just wants to go to the Barren State for a visit. If you go back, Brother Yu will go with you!" Huang Tianhua laughed, obviously he had planned to visit the White Dragon Pool in the Barren State.

"That's good!" Lu Yang had no choice but to agree.Huang Tianhua was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his servants to pack their things. He was going to Bailongtan Academy for a good vacation.

A day later, at the Yunji Flying Boat Square in the south of the capital city, a flying boat flying south was slowly lifted into the sky. Lu Yang and Huang Tianhua stood on the deck, looking at the gradually widening horizon. No one spoke for a while. The six servants following Huang Tianhua whispered excitedly.

"Brother hasn't been to the barren state yet?" Lu Yang laughed.

"I haven't been there before. After graduating from the academy in Shendu, I traveled to the north for three years to study, and then I returned to Shendu and asked my father to donate an official. Until now!" Huang Tianhua sighed when talking about the experiences of these years.

Lu Yang nodded. In the Imperial Dynasty, study tours have become a very common way of life. Some Confucian scholars like to study abroad very much. Some Confucian scholars even started to study in various places in the Kyushu of the Imperial Dynasty as soon as they graduated. Three to five years, and what's more, it will not settle down after ten or ten years of study abroad.

Studying abroad has become a way of life for some Confucian scholars, and it is also a way of practice.

When Lu Yang returned to Bailongtan Academy this time, there were two main things, the first one was graduation.If you are promoted to the first level of Liyan Taoism, you can graduate from the academy, and people call it a scholar.The second thing is to study abroad, which is what scholars often do.

The Yunji Flying Boat set off from Shendu, passed through several state capitals, and finally arrived at Bailongtan Academy in Moling Prefecture. Sister Huang Daoyun and the Lu family had already received the news and waited in the square of the Academy's Yunji Flying Boat.

Seeing Lu Yang get off from the Yunji flying boat, a group of people came up to meet him immediately. Lu Yang couldn't bear it long ago, stepped forward a few steps, bowed to his parents, and then introduced Huang Tianhua to Lu Kaitai and his wife.

"Yang Er has worked hard all the way, let's talk at home first!" Lu Kaitai waved his hand, several carriages drove over, and everyone got on their horses and headed towards Linshui Villa.

Passing by the other courtyard of the Huang family, the carriage drove past without stopping. Lu Yang looked out the window and said with a smile, "Is the teacher in the other courtyard?"

Huang Yiyi said: "Father has gone to visit friends, let's go to the manor first. Father said, senior brother doesn't bother to visit him, it's better to go home and settle down first!"

"Alright!" Lu Yang nodded, and stopped stopping to greet him, but said, "It seems that our Lu family's manor has already been built!"

Lu Jianjia, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "Second brother said that the manor has been basically built, and there are still some flowers, plants and trees that have not been planted. We thought that we would write to you after the manor was completely repaired, but we didn't expect The second brother is back first!"

Lu Yang grabbed Lu Yang's hand, rubbed it distressedly, and said, "My son won't leave this time?"

When Lu Yang moved, he couldn't tell his mother about his study tour, so he could only comfort him: "Mother, don't worry, my son will stay longer this time!"

"That's good, my son is not by my side, mother's heart is always empty!" Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the carriage passed Linshui Mountain Villa and came to a large manor. The gate of the manor was wide open, and the gray stone slabs formed a small square. The two gates were made of iron and wood, painted with red paint, and the door frames and lintels were made of white marble. The stone was repaired, and a plaque was hung on the lintel, wrapped in red silk, without an inscription.

"Why is there no inscription?" Lu Yang glanced at it and said with a smile.

"This is our Zhuangzi, so of course we will inscribe it when Yang Er comes back!" Lu Kaitai laughed, he was originally a mud-legged man, and his family was Lu Yang's most promising, so naturally he expected Lu Yang to come back and personally name and inscribe the manor!

"Okay!" Lu Yang smiled, and ordered the carriage to stop, and everyone got out of the carriage. Lu Yang thought for a while, and pointed, a five-emperor aura shot out from his hand and hit the high-hanging plaque On the road, the awe-inspiring righteousness was concentrated, and the five ancient characters "Lu's Old Summer Palace" were immediately engraved on the plaque.

"Old Summer Palace? Is there any source?" Huang Tianhua opened the Fengya fan in his hand, and fanned it chicly, looking like a handsome gentleman.

Lu Yang smiled and said: "Naturally there is a saying, the so-called Yuan Ming, round and engrossed, is the time of a gentleman; bright and universal, it is the wisdom of a man."

"Wonderful, my virtuous brother, the word "Yuanming" is very good!" Huang Tianhua said with a smile: "I heard that the garden is almost finished, I have to take a good look at it later!"

When Lu Kaitai and his wife heard Huang Tianhua praise the name of the manor, they couldn't help but feel relieved. As for whether the name is good or not, they don't know much about it, but if scholars like Lu Yang and Huang Tianhua say yes, it must be excellent.

"Please..." Lu Yang stretched out his hand to signal, and the face of the Lu family showed a hint of pride. This garden was painstakingly designed by Lu Yang and the great Confucian teachers of the academy, and they used completely different design styles to make the whole garden beautiful. Meihuan is the only one in the entire dynasty.

From the beginning of the construction of the garden, Lu Kaitai and his wife, Lu Jianjia, and even the married family Lu Qingping ran to the academy every three days, just to watch the manor be built from scratch.

Outsiders cannot understand that sense of belonging and pride. The construction of the garden has undergone a small change in almost ten days, and a big change in half a month. The retouching is not finished, but it is ready to live in.

The garden, which is similar in construction, is hailed as a masterpiece by the great Confucian teachers of the academy.Because the architectural style of the garden has opened up another new style of imperial architecture, some nobles from the Moling Mansion sent people to inquire about the garden before it was completed. The first new garden, they also followed suit and built gardens with similar styles.

Everyone got into the carriage and drove slowly into the Old Summer Palace. Entering from the gate of the manor, it was a boulevard with tall and neat pines and cypresses standing on both sides. Behind the pines and cypresses was the forest. When the carriage drove through the forest road, the sight suddenly opened up.

I saw a lake, and a ten-foot-wide stone avenue was paved at the foot. A stone bridge was built on the lake, leading directly to the central yang of the lake and the opposite bank. There stood a beautiful and magnificent palace. The palace was made of white marble. The building is snow-white all over, with a somewhat different style, with domes and spires, which look well-proportioned and very beautiful.

On the other side of the lake, surrounding the palace is a garden with pavilions, pavilions, misty rain and painted bridges, which are well arranged. Looking past the palace, you can see the dark blue mountains behind it, which is really beautiful.

"Hiss..." Huang Tianhua stuck his head out of the carriage, and was stunned when he saw the scene.Such a majestic architectural style is indeed eye-catching, even shocking.

"Stop, stop, I want to walk over there myself!" Huang Tianhua said hastily.

The coachman stopped immediately, and everyone got out of the carriage in satisfaction. Looking across the lake at the main building of the Old Summer Palace, that is, the waterfront palace, they all showed incredulous and proud expressions.

Lu Kaitai, Lu Jianjia and Huang Daoyun are all proud of the Old Summer Palace. The architectural style of the dynasty has always been built with wood instead of stone buildings like the palace in front of us. Moreover, the construction is so beautiful The majestic atmosphere makes the palace in front of you look extraordinary.
