Chapter 259
The sun and the moon shuttle, and the time flies.The weather in Xiaoyuan Township is good, the weather is peaceful, and the villagers live in the wilderness, and they don't know the cold and heat outside.Li Tan, the second son of the Li family, was eight years old and entered a public school where he learned to read and write.His elder brother Li Diao is nine years old, the same age as his son Jing Shi.Li Diao is honest and honest by nature, he is polite to others, like his mother, but he is kind and generous, like his father.He was a little older than Jing Shi, and he had been studying with him for a year, and he was more friendly on weekdays. Whenever there were festivals and New Years, he would definitely ask Jing Shi to go home with him for a meal.After such a long time, they also added a brother with a different surname.

At that time, the Bin Dynasty abolished the Li law, protected the well fields, removed private slaves, and changed the official legal system so that it covered all the townships and counties in Zhongtu, and the people all knew the etiquette and education.As far as the southeastern countries, they also followed the emperor's law and followed suit.Among them, Dongyu has a prosperous academic style, outstanding people, and famous ministers and sages.As for the place of teaching, the middle land is called learning, the southeast is called a school, and the west is called a school. In general, there are small differences in various places, but the general points are similar.

Most of the lecturers in the school are local bachelors, and when they go to Chinese studies and universities, they hire famous students and doctors to teach Taoism. Only metaphysics, because it involves yin and yang, five elements, and innate gossip, are all skills of national scholars and cannot be taught easily. Therefore, it is necessary to invite missionary monks from the views of celestial masters in various countries to specialize in teaching mysteries.The students taught are all elites of Chinese studies, and some of them have excellent foundations. After hearing and seeing, there are many precedents for them to practice Taoism and abandon their official positions to enter the mountains.

Xiaoyuan Township is located in the north of Zhenguo, and it is governed by the government of Zhenguo.Only the public school in the township, although it belongs to the list of rural schools, is close to the border of Qingshandu. At that time, monks in the mountains entered the school to teach Xuan, and the subdivisions can be called "three songs and three formulas".The three songs are "Lianshange", "Butiange" and "Dongliuge". , "Steaming Cloud Jue", respectively talk about the inner vision of the god of the underworld, taking pills to strengthen the body, refining qi and gathering yuan.

Although these methods are superficial techniques for the enlightenment of Taoism, they are cumbersome and obscure after all.Most of the people in the countryside are pure and innocent, and they can't bear to remember. The missionary monks are supposed to be on assignment, and they don't force them. They only teach some superficial common sense, so that they can know the time and place, and facilitate farming.

There are many teachers who teach xuan in Xiaoyuan's school, and the one who often comes is the disciple and grandson of Master Xuekuo in Xuanhua Cave, whose Taoist name is Deyinzi.He practiced hard for half a hundred years, but in the end, he was not as good as he was, and he was not diligent, and he liked to study scriptures and studies, so he voluntarily did missionary practice.At noon that day, Deyinzi was sitting in front of the hall, dressed in feathers and a high crown, trimmed his face and combed his hair, put green tea on the table, twisted the snow whiskers with his hands, and talked with the schoolchildren about the yin and yang of the solar terms. The air is as muddy as the deep sea. In the luck of the earth, it spins like chickens. Yin and Yang begin to move, and the breath travels through it, and then it becomes solar terms, and there are six qi, eight winds, and twelve months..."

The lectures in front of the hall are in full swing, and the students below are also very happy, because Li Tan climbed a tree in the morning, and unexpectedly caught a newly hatched chick, and quietly took it under the table to play.Yu Tong saw it for fun, pretended to be listening to the class, and looked at where Li Tan was sitting.They took notes and threw each other, and you came and went, and there was a lot of excitement.Only Jing Shi sat alone at the end of the table, and there were a lot of books beside him, and he took them one by one to read.He turned the pages of the book differently than others, blinking at ten lines, and wanted to read a hundred pages without the effort of half a cup of tea.It has been a year since I came to the public school, and I have memorized all the copied books in the library. It is all due to the renovation in the library recently, adding new volumes copied from the county, and some new books have not been published just now.

All the teachers and students in the room have good things to do, and they are having a good time together, but someone missed his aim, and a big apricot ball of paper jumped into De Yinzi's face, making the old man grow a beard in horror. blow.Opening his eyes and looking, he saw that the paper ball was gaudy, full of bastards, sparrows, and field mice, and the old man was so angry that he got up and looked down the hall.But seeing all the children in the hall, all of them are sitting upright, looking eager to learn.There is only a child sitting in the corner of the wall, books are piled high beside him, and he is flipping through the books in his hands, but it is as fast as a fan, making others' eyes dazzled.

Seeing this scene, Deyinzi didn't get angry, and said to himself: "Reading requires a lot of thought and exercise. How could it be so random that the pages of the book are damaged for no reason. This is inferior, even if he pretends Shangxin!" At that moment, he sat down on the watch table and called out: "Jingshi!" His son immediately raised his head, his face was dull, and he didn't seem to be flustered, he got up honestly and replied: "Sir."

Deyinzi said: "Can you hear what I just said about solar terms?"

Jing Shi said: "Yes."

Deyinzi's face sank like water, he twisted his long beard and said, "Tell me again."

Hearing the words, Jing Shi responded, and said: "There is energy outside the sky, as muddy as the deep sea..." He read a thousand characters in one breath, and the words and sentences were exactly the same, and he continued to read the sentences in circumflex. .

After listening to him, De Yinzi was very surprised. He took the teacup and asked, "Have you ever learned to chant in the past? How can you read the method correctly?"

Jing Shi said: "No. I heard Mr. read it just now."

Deyinzi is suspicious and trustworthy, because he knows that the correct tone of Xuanyue follows the ancient tunes of the Eastern Region, which is difficult and profound.Although he cares about the ignorance of schoolchildren, he reads all superficial articles. If he can understand them by ear, his memory is really very good.At the moment, he pointed to the pile of books and said: "Why are the copies of the books placed here? If you want to study them, you can borrow them one by one. If they are piled up, worms will easily grow over time."

Jing Shi replied: "It's all read today, and it will be returned to the library in the evening."

Hearing what he said, Deyinzi was even more surprised. He immediately took the book on his case, asked the general idea of ​​the book, and was able to answer it immediately.When it comes to extracting pages and paragraphs, and trying to recite them, it is also memorized.

After trying ten books in a row, there was no mistake in a word, but when asked about the pronunciation and meaning of ancient characters that were not noted in the book, but could not answer, I realized that this child is really talented.Not only can he remember it with a photograph, he can recite it with his ears, he can read hundreds of books in a row, and he can use both eyes and ears. His strong memory and talent are really shocking.

Deyinzi has been teaching for a long time, but he has never encountered such a genius and quality. He was very happy in his heart, and said repeatedly: "Good, good, good. You are a boy, you are good at learning, and you will become a great tool. Now that you have such a talent You must be a good rooted person in cultivating the Tao. Come, sit down and answer my question: What is the clear sky and muddy earth?"

Jing Shi said: "It's from Xuan Ye's Qi in ancient times."

Deyinzi was overjoyed, and asked again: "Where does the soul go?"

Jing Shi said: "The soul returns to the sky, and the soul enters the earth. Each returns to the change of pure and turbid qi, and it goes back and forth, and then it is used for reincarnation."

Deyinzi couldn't help being happy, he twirled his beard and laughed, and he said yes, and then asked: "Gold and copper grinding mirrors are the lessons of the present; basins of water and quiet pools are the lessons of the ancients; friends and enemies are the lessons of the virtuous." "Evil fruit and evil retribution are the lessons of treachery and evil. All four of these are lessons for people. Can you know what is the lesson for all things in the world?"

Jing Shi said: "Map."

Deyinzi was full of joy, paused in his hand, forced himself to smile, and pointed out: "Everything in the world, everything behaves and changes in the atmosphere. It is better than dead things to be flexible. ? Why is it a good lesson?"

Jing Shi sat in front of the case quietly, without blinking his eyes, he still said: "Change of air is unpredictable, and there is nothing to rely on. It's a map."

Deyinzi was also speechless again, twirling his beard dully, and after a long time he stroked the top of the Jingshi stone and sighed: "Student is a talent for economics. And study hard. In the future, Simu Mu will be useful in governing the country." After speaking, he returned to the front of the hall. , Let's talk about the article again, the mood is bleak, and it is very sad after all.It was almost time for school to end, and seeing the commotion among the students below, they sighed again, and said in a sad voice: "It's cloudy today, so I'll rest early. You can go home now."

All the children were happy when they heard the words, laughed and cheered, and rushed out of the hall in a mess.Li Tanyou was amused, and patted Jing Shi on the shoulder and said, "Hero! You don't usually talk, but today when you open your mouth, you will run away in anger."

Jing Shi said: "I don't have any." He caught the bird under Li Tan's table, looked at it for a while, and said, "It looks like a hoopoe. It can eat insects and is beneficial to people. Put it back." Put the chicks back in the nest, and then go back to the hall to clean and copy books.

Although this incident was reported in the school, because all the children saw it, they returned home early and told their parents the reason, so the rumors spread widely and spread like wildfire.All the villagers know that there is an orphan in the school, who is a child prodigy with extensive knowledge and memorization.

Li He on the other side was also very happy when he heard the rumors, and he deliberately brought some fruit cakes, intending to visit the school.When Webster saw him, he hurriedly brought a bundle and handed it to Li He, saying: "New clothes and quilts are made for Diao'er and Tan'er at the end of the year, which saves the rest of the cloth, but the color is a bit messy. I managed to dye it the day before yesterday, and I made a few more. It’s a new one. Since the kid is old and the school is very poor, the clothes must be missing. You can take it to him for a try, if it doesn’t fit, I’ll change it.”

Li Diao went in response.Arriving at the public school, just as Jing Shi was buried in copying books, he slapped his black hand with the big cattail fan on the head, and said with a smile: "Boy! You can stand out today!" He gave him the fruit cakes and clothes he brought , and said: "This is brought from home for you, and you try to fit it."

Jing Shi thanked him with a pen, hugged the package, and went to the back hall to change it.When I came out to have a look, it was much looser, because he was thinner and shorter than Li Diao.When Li He saw it, he sighed and said, "You little seedling, you have short arms and legs, and you don't like to move. How will you deal with big things in the future? Not to mention others, even if you are looking for a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid you won't be able to control the family. From now on, there will be many lands Go practice, your body is very long, but this clothes need to be changed." Jingshi also saw a piece of red cloth in his hand, which was sewn squarely, with butterflies fluttering on the surface, as if Webster's napkin was made of leftover materials, and he felt in his heart Strange, asked: "What are you holding?"

Jing Shi replied: "It should be a cloth for warming hands."

Li He said happily: "The clothes in my house are dyed, but they leave this pattern behind. I'm afraid people will laugh at you. Let me tell her and ask her to change the style with you."

Jing Shi shook his head, but without paying attention, he turned his head and put the cloth tube away and said, "The red one is fine, don't bother to change it." Then he went back to the inner hall to change his clothes, and handed them over to Li He to change.
