Chapter 431
"Unexpectedly, I took in a disciple. I was not in a hurry to practice Taoism and supernatural powers, but to take the imperial examination first."

After Su Li accepted Hong Yi as his disciple, he looked at a book placed on Hong Yi's desk. This book was called "The Cottage Notes".

The cover of this book is very new, but the paper is very old. It is obviously an old book that no one reads.

Obviously, "Cottage Notes" is not the classics, etiquette, and policy theory of scholars' scientific research, but the absurd and uninhibited notes of gods and monsters.

Scholars don't talk about strangeness, power, chaos, and gods.This kind of book is not read by people preparing for scientific examinations.

But Hong Yi actually read this book.

"The Notes of the Caotang is a notebook written by Li Yan, the prime minister of the former dynasty. It is written about demons, ghosts, Taoist gods, and female fairies and fox fairies. , as expected of the prime minister of the previous dynasty, the founder of the Li School. The reason why the disciples want to read the Caotang notes is because they know that although Li Yan passed away, most of the people in the court are his disciples. They should also be his disciples, if they can figure out Li Yan's allegorical thoughts expressed by ghosts and foxes, and cater to the tastes of other disciples, there is a great possibility of high school."

Hong Yi's face showed a bit of wisdom in his hands, and he spoke to Su Kai respectfully. "Acquaintance with human feelings means essays. Students study and take imperial examinations. Naturally, they know that even if the essays are brilliant and not in line with the examiner's school, it is useless."

"You are a smart person, and you know the importance of trying to figure out the examiner's school, but Li Yan's thatched cottage notes, in the eyes of different people, are still different. For example, what you read is a fable, and what I see is a practice story. .”

Su Li stretched out his hand, and the thatched cottage notebook rose into the air and landed in front of him.

Hong Yi's eyes lit up, he watched this scene closely, very curious about how it was done.

"This is after the physical body has been cultivated to the extreme, the powerful qi and blood can open the door of supernatural powers, condense the spirit into mana, and then can do all kinds of unimaginable things."

Su Li looked at the light in Hong Yi's eyes, spoke with a smile, turned around, and a story in "The Cottage Notes" flew out.

"Is this the story of Li Yan meeting a ghost?"

Hong Yi looked over and found that he had read this story.

Li Yan was studying late at night and encountered a ghost.The ghost showed itself and asked Li Yan if he was afraid, and Li Yan said he was not.

When the ghost asked again, Li Yan still said he was not afraid.

The ghost was helpless, and finally said: "As long as you say you are afraid, I will leave immediately and won't pester you anymore."

Li Yan still reprimanded loudly: "If you are not afraid, you are not afraid."

In the end, the ghost had no choice but to disappear disgruntled.Later, someone asked Li Yan why he didn't compromise and said he was afraid, what should he do if the ghost really pounced on him, he had no way to do it.

Li Yan explained that it is precisely because he has no Taoism that courage is the only thing he has left. If even courage is lost and compromised, that is the real death.

"The story of Li Yan's encounter with ghosts tells that if you are not afraid, you can live. If you are afraid, you will die immediately. If a person has only one quality, it can never be lost. A gentleman values ​​courage, and if he has great courage, ghosts and gods cannot invade."

Hong Yi spoke out the truth he had comprehended before.

"You are talking about Li Yan's encounter with a ghost from the point of view of an allegory. From the point of view of practice, the lowest level of ghosts is just a kind of thought, a kind of breath. If a warrior has blood, or a scholar has courage , ghosts cannot invade. But this kind is only the lowest, if it is no longer a breath but a substance, even if the scholar has courage, he will die. Strength is the most important thing."

Su Li spoke lightly.

"I have encountered demons before, which are similar to ghosts. Ordinary demons are just a kind of breath, but the demon king can already condense into a solid body, just like people. If Li Yan meets the demon king, how can he have a chance to write a book? was eaten."

"My disciple understands that only courage is not the kingly way. You must also practice martial arts. The saint once said that a scholar must be good at bow, horse and archery. This is an authentic scholar. If you have no strength to restrain a chicken, you are not a real scholar. .”

Hong Yi nodded.

He had already thought about practicing martial arts, but he really had no conditions.

Scholars want to practice riding and archery, but a horse is worth thousands of gold.

A good bow is also worth platinum.

Apart from these, it also costs money to hire someone to teach martial arts, and I don't know how much it will cost.

There are also guards with strong martial arts in the Hou's mansion, but who would want to touch Hong Yi and make the eldest lady suffer?
"Master, I'm still a little curious. I don't know if what Li Yan said is true, or if it's just a fable."

With a thought in his heart, Hong Yi walked over and turned over a few pages of the notes in the thatched cottage standing in the air, and found a new story.

"Li Yan said that gods are nothing more than human thoughts. The reason why the gods in temples can appear repeatedly is because they have endured people's incense offerings and beliefs. There are no gods in the world, but because people believe in them, there are gods. If people no longer believe in it, this god will disappear. Master, is this the truth?"

Hong Yi looked at Su Li, looking like he was studying.

"There are many gods in the world. What Li Yan said is that they believe in gods after birth. These gods were originally born from human thoughts, but after they were born, they possessed more power than humans because of countless thoughts of humans. Therefore, gods acquired Born for human beings, but able to enslave human beings after birth, this is called self-binding.”

Su Li paused, and continued to speak. "However, there are still innate gods in the world. Those gods are born high above, mastering the authority of heaven and earth, and possessing incomparably terrifying power, which is beyond the control of human beings. Even the era of their existence is tens of thousands of years. How long has it been around, how can anyone say that they don't believe in it, and the innate gods will disappear."

"There is also a kind of god who founded the God Realm. They are born with great supernatural powers and boundless mana, but they also have endless desires to rule and kill. Wherever they come, they will destroy everything. They are very powerful."

Su Li spoke again.

"It turned out to be like this. Thank you, Master, for clarifying the confusion. Even God has so many sayings. It seems that the knowledge of the world cannot be completed by one person. There is no limit to learning, and even everyone like Li Yan can't do it alone." Only a part of God can be understood."

Hong Yi had a pensive expression on his face, "After I pass the imperial examination, I would like to visit all over the world. If I can learn a lot, it will be a good choice for my whole life."

"The life of a mortal is too short, but a hundred years in a hurry. If you want to learn a lot, you can't do it for hundreds of thousands or even billions of years. There is no limit to the way, and so is knowledge. But you don't need to study these now, someone Came to find you."

Su Li's divine sense focused on everything in a radius of three thousand miles, so he could naturally see a maid walking towards Hong Yi's room.
