Dao fruit.

The Central Plains has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, and there is no ambiguity about welcoming and sending off.

Just like in front of him, Qiu Yan saw that there were students and servants coming out of the academy, which was enough to express his importance, but in the eyes of insiders like Zhen Zhizuo, Chen Jing and Lin Jue, he could see the problem.

It turns out that although this small ceremony is not as good as the middle ceremony and the big ceremony, it has a complete process. Zhen Zhizuo and others brought Qiu Yan. According to the rule, Zhang Huazhang, who is the person in charge, should stand on the right side of the door, and ask Qiu Yan to go through the door. Left admission.

These details seem useless, but they are also a kind of self-cultivation, reflecting the importance of the visitor, and gradually becoming customized.

In ancient times, when scholars met, they had to hold "Zhi", that is, gifts. Ordinary gentry regarded pheasants as sincerely, lower officials regarded goose as sincerely, and senior officials regarded lamb as sincerely. Poultry blood is not a precious thing, but there are There are different meanings, and both Xianzhi and Cizhi also have their own interpretations.

Just like today, Zhang Huazhang couldn't get away from something, so he sent other people out to greet him. At first glance, it seemed more sincere, but Secretary He, like Qiu Yan, was a scholar who was picked up by others, but he was generous. If Qiu Yan learns about each other in the future, there will definitely be grievances.

The so-called sincerity reflects an attitude, not the value of the gift. If you can't even abide by the etiquette, how can you respect others?

These thoughts flashed through Zhen Zhizuo's mind. Knowing the root cause, it was Zhang Huazhang's contempt for the poor family, so he couldn't help but sighed secretly, and asked instead: "Why does Mr. He reason the truth? Isn't he welcoming you politely?"

The so-called "Tian Li Dao" is a kind of assessment, "Tian Li" refers to the "Tian Li Pavilion" in Li Zong Academy, and discussing Dao refers to a person facing several Li Zong students.Debate with each other to verify what you have learned.

This kind of measure, even if it is to allow the students of the academy to exchange what they have learned, is also prepared for those students who are not famous but rely on their knowledge.There are many people in the academy, and it is difficult for the master to take care of both. Therefore, students are encouraged to show their knowledge. While becoming famous, they can also improve their status and gain attention.

in addition.Those who can discuss Taoism in Tianli Pavilion are not limited to students of Lizong Academy, outsiders can also participate.

However, Master He was welcomed by Zhongli, and he was already valued by Zhang Huazhang. From the moment he stepped into Lizong Academy, he enjoyed privileges that ordinary people could not match, so why bother to go to heaven to reason?

The Confucian scholar who was in charge of welcoming him said: "He Shuchang is an unusual person. He is a man of high nature and comes from the He family in the south of the Yangtze River. But he is very knowledgeable. This time, some people ridiculed him that he has today mainly because of his family background. He was furious. Under the circumstances, I went directly to Tianli Pavilion!"

When the Confucian scholar spoke, there was a little admiration on his face.It is obvious that he has some admiration for Secretary He.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Zhen Zhizuo asked again after hearing this, "How could the debate among the students disturb Huazhang?"

The Confucian scholar showed embarrassment, glanced at Qiu Yan and Lin Jue, and said in a low voice: "It is two humble students who offended He Shuzhang. He Shuzhang challenged the discussion, but disturbed Tao Shi and Lin Xing, so there was a commotion. Get up! Huazhang just went to preside over the discussion."

"Tao Shi, Lin Xing? So that's the case, it's really hard to calm down..." Zhen Zhizuo sighed.

At this moment.Qiu Yan also got a general idea from Chen Jing, and even more about He Shuchang, so he took a step forward and said, "Brother Zhen, it's better to come early than coincidentally. It's rare that there are talented scholars from Jiangnan discussing Tao. It’s also good to have a look at Lizong’s demeanor.”

After hearing this, Zhen Zhizuo looked around, pondered for a while, and knew that it was not easy to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.

The Confucian scholar who greeted him gave Qiu Yan a strange look, but didn't say much, and acted according to the etiquette.

Not long after, a group of people entered the academy.

This is Qiu Yan's first time entering a Confucian academy, so it's inevitable that he will take a closer look, and Chen Jing will take the opportunity to introduce him.

It is said to be an academy, but it is actually better than a manor. It covers an area of ​​[-] acres, with mountains and rivers, pavilions, pavilions, and garden paths. From time to time, one or two Confucian scholars can be seen reading leisurely by the roadside with books in their hands.

After walking a few steps, Qiu Yan smelled the fragrance of ink in his nose, and sensed a faint air of literary thought from the surrounding scholars and the courtyard.

This spirit of writing and thinking spreads everywhere, faintly connecting the sky.

With a movement in his heart, Qiu Yan's eyes flashed with light, and he secretly used the Lingmu Jue. Suddenly, his vision changed, showing a grand atmosphere. The writings everywhere in the academy are soaring and mighty. They are all composed of articles, writings, and readings, arranged and combined , constitutes a principle, advocacy, penetrating the heavens and the earth, as if it may be integrated into it at any time and become an order.

"As expected of being built by Confucian great virtues, it is really extraordinary and magnificent. Just walking inside and smelling the smell of books, you will feel that your mind is gradually opening up. If you stay here, you will naturally learn more."

Sighing in his heart, Qiu Yan knew that the current situation was formed not because of any paradise here, but because of people.

According to legend, this place was originally the former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Chen, who was considered a hermit, and lived in a very poor and barren place.

Later, Erchen opened up an academy and taught students to teach books, and it gradually became popular, which made this place gradually popular.

Over the past ten years or so, Lizong has flourished, and scholars have come here attracted by the fame, gathered here, gathered their writing and thoughts, and in turn affected the surrounding environment.

The students in the academy recite articles every day, debating their knowledge, and the spirit of writing and thinking becomes more and more full, which penetrates into the soil, trees, flowers, plants, birds and insects, and subtly influences it, finally forming the current atmosphere.

"This change seems to be applicable to Shinto as well."

With emotion, Qiu Yan's attention was gradually attracted by an attic——

The attic continuously released turbulent waves, causing the surrounding Wensi to rippling.

"It seems that it is Tianli Pavilion. This turmoil is the collision and confrontation of ideas."

Sure enough, Zhen Zhizuo led Qiu Yan and the others to the front of the building, and the first thing that caught his eye was the plaque on the door with the words "Sign Up"——

God!

These two words actually gave Qiu Yan an illusion, as if the two words were originally the same word, even with the surrounding scenery, with the attic, with the ground, and with the sky as one!

"All in one?"

Feeling the charm in the words, Qiu Yan's heart suddenly popped out a sentence——

"The benevolent, the heaven, the earth, and all things are one, is it oneself?"

This word.It was Qiu Yan who saw it in the works of Mr. Da Chen, who talked about treating everything in the world as an extension of himself, every place is his own, and treats external objects like his own flesh and blood.This is "benevolence".

At the beginning, Zhang Yu and Liu Hua were entrusted by Zhen Zhizuo to bring Qiu Yan a lot of Lizong books. Of course, Qiu Yan would not be polite, and they were all collected in the earth soul bookshelf, and accumulated and accumulated.

At this moment, see these two words.Feeling the spirit in it, a little insight in the earth soul suddenly jumped out, giving him a little understanding of the connection between people and all things.

shock!

The next moment, in the flesh and blood, a shadow of Taoism manifested!

The seventh soul, the heavenly soul!

Although the shadows are visible, they are erratic, not as solid as the previous six shadows, but illusory.As if it were just an illusion!

"Huh? Deliberately planting flowers and flowers will not bloom, but unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade! This is a chance for life!" Qiu Yan's heart trembled, and he tried to block Tian Chongpo with his energy, but the energy passed by, as if the soul was not there. It doesn't exist.

At this time, Chen Jing's urging voice came from the side——

"Brother Qiu? What's the matter? Still not going in?"

I was called back to my mind by this sound.Qiu Yan smiled apologetically, and turned his head to see that Zhen Zhizuo was talking with someone by the door.

"Although the name of Tianli Pavilion sounds good, it is actually a place for quarrels." Chen Jing turned his back and walked together with Qiu Yan, while Lin Jue followed silently. As for Hu Qi and Dai Guo, they couldn't follow. He was led to rest.

As soon as you enter Tianli Pavilion.Qiu Yan immediately felt an unusual atmosphere.

The inside is spacious and empty, with ventilation on all sides, and the sunlight comes in unimpeded, scattered in every corner of the house.

A lot of people gathered in the hall, so I took a look at it wrongly.To say the least, there were three or forty people, who were silent, and the movement of Qiu Yan and others came in, and none of them were distracted to look over.

Each of them sat upright, with their shoulders and necks still, and their eyes staring straight ahead.

At the end of everyone's line of sight, there are two people sitting opposite each other. One is a man and a woman. The man is handsome and the woman is soft and beautiful. The two are dressed in extraordinary clothes, and they are not ordinary people at first sight.

Especially that man, with a jade-like face, elegant demeanor, a calm, indifferent bookish air, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, although he was arguing with others, there was no trace of fireworks.

On the opposite side of the two, sat seven Confucian scholars, plainly dressed, with not-so-remarkable faces, each of them was full of literary spirit, but they seemed a little scattered, one of them was speaking, and his speech was slightly chaotic when looking directly at it.

In front of him are tea and fruits, elegant and light.

Sitting at the head was a person with a wide-sleeved robe, slightly squinting his eyes, and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

This person is Zhang Huazhang.

Finding a place to sit down, Qiu Yan also raised his eyes and looked up. His perception could detect a strange aura from the two sides, as if there were invisible swords, lights and swords filling the center, as if the two armies were confronting each other.It's just that the side with more people was in some turmoil and lost its momentum.

"That's Mr. He Shu." Beside him, Chen Jing whispered.

Needless to say, that handsome and extraordinary man is Jiangnan talented scholar He Shuzhang. As for the woman sitting next to him, Chen Jing also told her origin. In the name of the academy, he often came to ask questions. However, before Chen Jing left, Master He hadn't started yet, so he didn't know why the two of them sat together.

At this time, the voice of the group of seven people just fell, and I saw Chief He shaking his head and sighing, looked at the seven people with some pity, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "I often hear that poor people start from humble beginnings. In order to make up for poverty in childhood, desires are often difficult to fill. This is actually the manifestation of human desires. Even if you know the scriptures, it is inevitable. It must be suppressed by the laws of heaven. !"

trembling!

After these words were uttered, Wensi fluctuated inside and outside the attic.

At the same time, Qiu Yan also felt his heart throbbing. The Tian Chong soul that had finally appeared showed signs of disappearing. He frowned immediately, chewing on the words of Congratulatory Secretary, feeling that he was in a relationship with himself, and had a faint sense of rejection!
