"Sage hall? Sage paper? Wendong sages?"

Listening to Ji Zheng's three points, Qiu Yan pondered for a moment, and asked directly: "I've heard of this hall of sages, and every academy has it built. It's a place to commemorate sages, reflecting the inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism. Forgetting the deeds and spiritual meaning of the sages means constantly exploring humanity." While speaking, his eyes fell on the roll of pure white paper.

This piece of paper, just looking at it with eyes, can feel smooth and faintly glowing, and there is a hidden spirit in it, pure and broad, but not ostentatious. If Qiu Yan is not close, he may not be able to detect it.

Moreover, there is only one piece of paper, but after being rolled up, there is no trace of creases, and it exudes a sense of toughness.

"That's right." Noticing Qiu Yan's gaze, Ji Zheng nodded with a smile, "The hall of sages embodies inheritance and spirit, and there are clay sculptures of sages in each building, but how can simple worship and remembrance reflect the meaning of inheriting the past and ushering in the future? How to explore?"

"Oh? Could it be that the Hall of Sages and Sages has other functions?" Qiu Yan naturally heard the implication of the other party's words.

Ji Zheng replied: "The way of sages and sages is vast and powerful, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is the source and foundation of the world's order. People in the world want to carry forward their studies. If you want to carry forward the water, you must first inherit it, understand the classics and historical books, and comprehend them in your heart, but the clay statues in the hall of sages can drive the order of heaven and earth, turn them into comprehension, and integrate into people's hearts!"

"Huh? Turning into insights and blending into people's hearts? Is there such an effect? ​​Doesn't this mean that the sages are their own teachers directly, teaching by precepts and deeds? In this way, when reading is learning and understanding classics, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and save money." Time and energy." Qiu Yan's complexion changed slightly, and he thought of something vaguely, so he asked. "It's just that there should be restrictions, right?"

Ji Zheng nodded: "Yes, statues of sages can drive order and turn them into perceptions, but clay sculptures are easy to find, but order is not easy to attract. If you want to build a hall of sages, you must at least have a theory that you can get. Introduce, coupled with a rich literary thought. Only by restraining one place with the scripture hall can the corresponding sages come in order."

Qiu Yan took this very seriously. He carried the spirit of the two manuscripts of sages and felt deeply about this. If anyone could create clay sculptures of sages and bring about order, the world would have been in chaos.

"Using theory as a guide means that one must have a certain understanding of the classics and classics, and even be able to create a school of thought. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Constraints are not a matter of one person, at least open forums to give lectures and gather humanism, so that after a long time, it will become an academy. No wonder the halls of sages are all in the academy."

Think about it this way.Qiu Yan understood the mystery inside and realized the meaning of the academy.

"The academy enshrines clay sculptures of saints and sages. The clay sculptures also feed back the sense of order. In this way, they are naturally outstanding people. They are more prosperous."

This is a mutually reinforcing process.

Afterwards, I heard Ji Zheng say: "However, there is no possibility of once and for all in the world. Even if a theory is established, an academy is established, and there are groups of disciples, in the future, articles that can be recognized by the spirit of the sages will still be produced from time to time. Before the clay sculpture, if not, the spirit attached to the icon will slowly pass away and eventually return to the mortal land, which is also the reason why theories and academies alternately rise and fall in history."

"Oh? So that's how it is." At first hearing this, Qiu Yan felt it was strange, but then he thought about it, and knew it was right. In this world, the divine way and the way of life are present. Extraordinary power is not scarce, but there are certain rules. Will not stop for no reason.

In the beginning, there were masters who established sects, established theories, revived the academy, and gathered popularity and humanities. In fact, luck has already been involved. As the theories spread, more and more people abide by and use them, which involves cause and effect. It is not possible to constantly innovate, constantly improve, and keep pace with the times. The mere involvement of cause and effect and changes in the world are enough to make a school struggle and eventually ossify and collapse.

By this time, Qiu Yan had roughly guessed the role of the Hall of Sages and Sages when discussing Taoism in Xingtan.

"It seems that the hall of sages is a bridge for spiritual communication between people and sages, and it must also be the key to the soul entering the scholarly forest."

"That's right," Ji Zheng showed a hint of admiration, but Qiu Yan didn't expect Qiu Yan to guess the key point from just a few words, "Although I have never been to Shilin, I also know that Shilin is not ordinary, and you can only go to it through clay sculptures of sages. "

Speaking of this, she shook her head regretfully, and said: "It's a pity, if you can enter an academy, with your talent, you can definitely impress the sages and leave traces in the scholarly circle in advance, so that you can become famous in the apricot forum. It will be much more convenient.”

As she spoke, she kept shaking her head.

Qiu Yan also heard some clues, and couldn't help asking: "Writing moves the sages, do you mean writing articles that are recognized by the spirits of the sages?"

Ji Zheng nodded: "Yes, but it must be meaningful and reasonable. If you simply pile up rhetoric, no matter how beautiful the article is, it will be a waste of effort. The important thing for this kind of article is to be in line with the spirit of the sages. It must be enshrined in front of clay statues, otherwise it is useless. Wen Zhen clay sculptures will give birth to feelings, and those who write essays will also gain a certain amount and leave traces in the scholarly community. If you do not join an academy, you will not be able to do this. A little, unless..."

Having said that, she pointed to the roll of clean white paper on the table: "Using ordinary paper, you can get sentimental feedback by moving the holy image, but it is not as good as this kind of sage paper, which is written on sage paper." The articles can directly refine the author's literary thinking, let the mind blend into it, and you can feel something 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 discovered the extraordinaryness of this paper a long time ago, and asked, "What's so different about this paper? How can it be crowned with a sage?" The name?"

Unknowingly, the two have become acquainted with each other a lot, this is also because of the closeness of what they have learned, and there is less estrangement when talking.Moreover, Qiu Yan also felt an artistic conception of being a scholar from Ji Zheng, not like an ordinary woman.

"The manufacturing process of sage paper is the same as that of ordinary paper, but the raw materials are not bark or cloth. I don't even know what it is. I just know that after this kind of paper is finished, it will be put on the clay sculpture of sage hall. It has been placed under the icon seat for many years, allowing the spirit of the sages to penetrate into it, so it takes a long time, which is very rare."

Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the sage paper with concentration: "It turns out that the spirit of a sage has invaded it, no wonder it can have such an effect, it contains a broad and pure spiritual conception, but what is the use of this thing when discussing Taoism in the apricot forum?" ?”

"The hall of sages and sages is the passage for the soul to enter the scholarly forest. The sage paper is the door, and the article is the key to open the door. Both are indispensable," Ji Zheng said, holding the scroll of sages in both hands, and handed over the paper, "This one , I brought it out from home, so I will present it to you, Young Master, so as to repay the grace of saving the soul."

Looking at the piece of paper, Qiu Yan didn't reach out to pick it up. Instead, he pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Although I have shown you some small favors, this sage paper involves a lot. Use it, it's a waste of a piece, I heard your words, I should also have aspirations for this way, why not keep it for your own use."

Hearing this, Ji Zheng didn't take back her hand, but said: "Young Master Qiu, don't worry about the matter of the Shengxian Hall. Since I wrote that invitation, I won't be aimless, and I won't hide it from you. The piece of paper was given to the young master, on the one hand, to repay the kindness, but there are other considerations, and I want the young master to help."

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

Seeing this, Ji Zheng had no choice but to take back the paper first, and also went forward to sit down, saying: "After knocking on the gate of Shilin with the paper of sages, it can benefit others..." At this point, she kept silent, just watching Qiu Yan.

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

Ji Zheng got up from her seat, saluted Qiu Yan, and said, "Young lady wants to invite you to take me into Nashilin together."

Qiu Yan showed a puzzled face: "Young lady writes handwriting with charm, integrity and peace. It is obvious that she has an understanding of the scriptures and articles. Even if she writes by herself, she may not be able to enter the scholarly circle. Why bother to look far away."

Jizheng sighed and said, "There is a reason for my alias 'Ji Zheng' to study in all directions, otherwise I wouldn't stop checking for a while and let Tang Yi be taken away. Although I am a descendant of the Ji family, I am also restrained because of it. To enter the scholar forest, you need to rely on external force. If the young master wants to know, the young lady can also tell the truth. This paper offering is out of sincerity, and I ask the young master to fulfill it."

After hearing this, Qiu Yan pondered for a while, and was about to respond when his complexion changed slightly.

………………

In the southern border of Jiannan Road, in the center of Jiuling Mountain.

Kitchen Mountain.

Since Qiu Yan's divine way expanded and covered the mountains and rivers, the place has become more and more peaceful. However, the situation of the surrounding mountain people hunting and the jungle's prey to the weak has not changed, and Qiu Yan has no intention of interfering. This is like the metabolism of the human body. Forced changes are counterproductive. It also takes energy and time.

Of course, there are still restrictions on monsters with cultivation bases.

The demon caves and demon mansions in the mountains and rivers are all the same, but they are divided into affiliations, the upper and lower leaders are in charge, and the responsibilities are joint and several. If the subordinates make mistakes, they will be punished together.

But under the Kitchen God's command, there are three demons who command all the monsters. They are General Jin Mao, General Crane, and General Hao, all of whom are guardian beasts on the Kitchen God.Among them, the Golden Retriever refined the five souls, and the remaining two demons were the four souls.

These three demons have the responsibility of commanding and supervising the entire Jiuling Mountain and Daxuehe area. The matters involved are very cumbersome, but they enjoy it——

I don't know how much better the days when you have power and soldiers are better than when you are in heaven.

Therefore, in order to demonstrate their majesty and authority, the three demons often let their demon soldiers practice. Just like today, demons large and small gathered at the foot of Zao Mountain, divided into two parties, and practiced the art of war.

It's just that, just as they set up their posture, there was a sudden change around them!

Hearing a long howl coming from the sky, it shook like a thunder, shaking many little monsters who only refined one soul or two souls so that their feet were unsteady!

In a flash!Invaded the domain of the gods!
