Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 184
After chatting for a while, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile, "Ji'an, have you ever dreamed about that mysterious woman after winning the exam?"

When this matter was mentioned, Luo Ji'an couldn't help but cheer up, and nodded with joy.

"I dreamed. She congratulated me in the dream and said that she would come to see me soon."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but smiled, "Haha, then congratulations to Brother Luo for the double happiness."

"Happy with joy..."

Inadvertently, Luo Ji'an saw a picture hanging in the hall, couldn't help his expression, got up and walked over to raise his eyes to observe carefully.

This is a sentence in "Book of Changes": Tian Xingjian, the gentleman strives for self-improvement; the terrain is Kun, the gentleman carries things with virtue.

This sentence itself contains the principle of the great way, coupled with Zhou Yu's extraordinary calligraphy, it made Luo Ji'an distracted for a while, forgetting where he was, and savoring it carefully with his head up.

Zhou Yu didn't disturb him and drank tea quietly.

Unexpectedly, Luo Ji'an stood there for a full hour.

But for Luo Ji'an, it seemed that he had experienced a long life, which reminded him of many past events, and vaguely realized some specious truths.

At the same time, it feels so short, like the blink of an eye.

"Okay, good calligraphy! Unexpectedly, Brother Zhou's calligraphy has reached such a superb level."

Rojian finally came to his senses and couldn't help but applaud loudly.

"Brother Luo won the prize."

"No, brother, these are words from the bottom of my heart, just with Brother Zhou's calligraphy, I am afraid that the contemporary calligrapher will also be willing to bow down.

From my point of view, Brother Zhou's handwriting has already broken away from the scope of calligraphy.

The younger brother's level is limited, so I don't know how to describe it. In short... it makes people feel a lot of emotion.

The younger brother finally understands why Brother Zhou didn't take part in the examination. Brother Zhou's realm is probably beyond the imagination of ordinary people like me. "

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Brother Luo, don't underestimate yourself. If you can stand motionless in front of this picture for an hour, it means that your state of mind has reached a certain level..."

"Wait..." Luo Ji'an looked surprised: "Brother Zhou, you mean, the little brother stood there for an hour?"

"Not bad!"

"It's really rude, I hope Brother Zhou won't make fun of it." Luo Ji'an was ashamed, and hurriedly handed over his hands to apologize.

After a few words of politeness, the two began to chat about calligraphy, the Book of Changes, and Confucianism...

In the past, Luo Ji'an was able to cope with it freely, but this time, he suddenly found that he was often unable to answer the conversation.

Zhou Yu's knowledge is broad and profound, far exceeding his understanding.

Moreover, during the conversation, Zhou Yu, in addition to Confucianism, also intentionally or unintentionally talked about some content about the way of heaven and earth, which shocked Luo Ji'an even more.

In his heart, he suddenly felt a sincere look up and admiration.

There is also a sense of self-ashamedness.

In front of Zhou Yu, he suddenly felt insignificant, like a child entering a private school for the first time listening to his teacher's teachings.

Suddenly, Luo Jian's heart moved, he got up and took two steps away, and then bowed to Zhou Yu: "Listening to what Brother Zhou said is better than reading ten years of books.

The younger brother also decided not to participate in the examination, if Brother Zhou agrees, the younger brother would like to join Brother Zhou's academy, just to ask Brother Zhou for advice from time to time. "

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was overjoyed.

From the very beginning, he had placed great hopes in Rogian, and believed that he would not misjudge someone.

That's why he made the call intentionally.

Now it seems that his painstaking efforts were not in vain, and he was finally enlightened.

So, Zhou Yu raised his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Luo, you don't need to be too polite. I won't hide it from you until now. I am indeed not an ordinary scholar..."

Having said that, he raised his finger and wrote a word: Confucianism!

"This……"

Luo Ji'an was taken aback, and stared dumbfounded at the golden word "Confucianism" floating in the hall.

This is completely beyond his imagination.

"There is no need to be surprised or envious. You can understand that this is a Confucian supernatural power. As long as you are willing to practice hard, you will be able to do this one day."

"Practice?"

This word is both familiar and unfamiliar to Logian.

"That's right, practice! Reading books is actually a way of practice, self-cultivation, self-cultivation, mind-cultivation, and even supernatural powers.

The traditional Confucian philosophy is self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

This is not something that one or two people can do, but it is necessary to change the status quo, so that scholars in the world are no longer regarded as weak scholars, no longer regarded as only verbal criticism, but not bloody. "

"Say yes!"

Roger Antony felt his blood surging.

"So, this is the purpose of my academy. I went to take the exam before to gain fame and facilitate the recruitment of students."

"Mr.'s vision is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people..."

Luo Ji'an unknowingly changed the title to Mr. This is admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"In the future, you can stay in the academy with peace of mind. Considering your aptitude, it is not impossible to embark on a road to eternal life in the future."

"Thank you sir!"

"You don't have to thank me. In fact, I should thank you. If you go to the general examination, it's not a big problem to pass the examination and become an official, but it's really commendable that you are willing to give up these things."

Luo Ji'an smiled: "If I can teach a group of students and let them become officials and learn, I think it will be more meaningful."

"Hahaha, okay, then it's settled. I'll teach you a technique of breathing later. I think you should be able to get started soon."

Next, Zhou Yu still named the academy "Wen Dao Academy", and reported it to the government, and then began to recruit students.

This time, there is no enlightenment class for the time being, and the first batch of students with a certain foundation will be recruited first.

For example, those who are preparing to participate in the county examinations for children, or those who are already children and are preparing for the examination of scholar, are mainly aimed at this kind of scholars.

Qin Song was the first student to sign up.

He is only a child student now, and has not yet passed the hospital examination. Only by passing the hospital examination can he become a student, that is, a scholar.

After the news spread, many people came to sign up.

After all, Zhou Yu was Jie Yuan in the Jinke Township Examination. Maybe ordinary people don't feel much, but for those scholars, they feel a lot.

What's more, there are also Luo Ji'an, the master of the academy, and Yakui in this provincial examination, that is also very remarkable.

About half a month has passed.

On that day, Luo Jian finally saw the woman in his dream.

At that time, he was sitting at home with his eyes closed, practicing the breathing technique that Zhou Yu had passed on to him.

This set of breathing techniques was created by Zhou Yu himself based on the Taoist Xiao Zhoutian mentality, and then incorporated Confucian ideas.

Taoists cultivate true energy, while scholars cultivate righteous energy.

While adjusting breath, suddenly, a voice came into my mind: "Young Master, Young Master..."

Luo Jian's expression moved, and he hurriedly opened his eyes and looked around, but there was no one there.

"Dieer, is that you? Where are you?"

Die'er was the woman who often appeared in Logian's dreams.

"Young master, do you really want to see me?"

"Of course, where are you? If it's not convenient for you, then I can come to you too."

As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly walked over.

At this moment, Logian's expression became surprised and excited, he finally saw the beauty in his dream.

"Butterfly..."

Logian stood up, his voice trembling.

He was afraid that this was another dream.

"Son..."

Die'er took the initiative to come forward and snuggled into Luo Ji'an's arms.

Feeling the charming fragrance and tenderness, Luo Jian finally knew that this was not a dream, and Die Er finally came to his side.

"Dieer, thank you, without you, I wouldn't be where I am now."

Logian said something sincerely.

"No, my lord, at this point, I might as well tell you the truth, the one who should thank you is the little girl."

"Oh? What... what's going on here?"

"To tell you the truth, my lord, the little girl is actually...a butterfly..."

Hearing this, although Luo Ji'an was a little dazed, he was not too surprised.He had already guessed that Die Er was not an ordinary person.

So, he didn't speak, waiting for Die'er to explain her background and the reason for helping him.

"Back then, I hadn't cultivated yet, and I was accidentally entangled in a poisonous spider's web.

Fortunately, the son's father was collecting medicine in the mountains. Perhaps it was just an inadvertent action that he used a stick to disperse the spider webs, so that I escaped unharmed.

However, I was seriously injured at the time, and I took a long time to recuperate after I went back.

When I left the customs, I just found out that the son's father has passed away..."

When Luo Ji'an heard this, he realized that it was an inadvertent act of kindness from his father, and Die Er came to him to repay his kindness.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was his father's spirit in heaven to protect him.

For a moment, Luo Ji'an couldn't help but burst into tears, hugged Die'er tightly and murmured: "Die'er, thank you, thank you very much.

If it wasn't for your help, let alone gaining fame, you might have died of hunger and cold a long time ago. "

"My lord, let the past go. You must cheer up now. As long as you don't dislike me, Die'er is willing to serve you as a slave and maidservant."

"What are you talking about? I wanted to marry you, but I was afraid I wouldn't be good enough for you..."

"What are you talking about, young master? Die Er is already very grateful for the young master's kindness.

Before that, Die'er had always been just a dream, because she hadn't transformed yet, and she didn't know how to face the young master.

Now that I have finally turned into a human, I came to look for the young master..."

"Great, great..."

"It's just young master. Die'er is not a human being after all. If you marry young master, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that you will attract some high-level people, which will be bad for young master."

"Don't be afraid, Die'er, I will take you to meet someone right now, he is the real master."

The expert Luo Jian mentioned was naturally Zhou Yu.

When the two came to the gate of the small courtyard where Zhou Yu lived, Die'er suddenly turned pale and said anxiously: "My lord, you can't go in..."

"what happened?"

"I... feel... there is a very powerful existence inside..."

Die'er is a demon, so she is naturally very sensitive to the demon's breath, maybe she sensed Xiaoqing's breath.

And Bai Suzhen has practiced Taoism since she was a child, and her Taoism is also high, so even if she has a monster aura, it is very weak, and it is not easy for ordinary people to perceive it.

Xiaoqing is different, although Bai Suzhen is also teaching her to practice pure Taoism, but the time is not too long, and Xiaoqing's transformation is not long, so the evil spirit is naturally a bit strong.

Therefore, Die Er was instinctively afraid.

"A powerful existence? Could it be Mr.?"

"I don't know... In short, it's not a human breath, I think it should be a snake demon."

"what?"

Luo Jian's face was startled, and he hurriedly said: "No, if this is the case, I should tell my husband."

He wondered if it was the snake demon lurking here, but Mr. didn't perceive it.

While the two were still discussing, the two women suddenly ran out.

It was Xiaoqing and Yingning.

The two of them had nothing to do and were playing with the sable.

"squeak!"

Zidian's perception is also very sensitive, so he stopped suddenly and grinned at Die'er as a threat.

Butterfly was startled...

She has just transformed into form, and her skills are still inexperienced, so it is impossible for her to be the opponent of Zidian.

Fortunately, the sable was only threatening, and did not rush forward.

But at this time, Die Er saw Xiao Qing again, and her face became even paler...

"what?"

Xiaoqing obviously saw Die'er's side, and couldn't help but glance over in doubt.

Ying Ning smiled at Luo Ji'an: "Mr. Luo, why are you standing at the door, come in and sit down."

"Thank you!"

Luo Ji'an came back to his senses, glanced at Die'er, finally took Die'er's hand, and walked into the yard bravely.

"Husband, husband, Mr. Luo is here."

"Ok!"

Zhou Yu came out from the study.

Looking at Die'er, he guessed her identity, and couldn't help but greet her with a smile: "I think, this is the girl who secretly helped Brother Luo, right?"

"Sir, her name is Die Er..."

"So it's Miss Die'er, hurry up and sit in the living room."

"Dieer has met Mr., Mr. Blessings."

Although Die'er took shape not long ago, she also understood etiquette, and gave Zhou Yu a blessing.

"Miss Die'er, come in and sit down."

Ying Ning seemed to like Die Er very much, so she came to kiss her hand and walked into the hall.

As he walked, he whispered: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoqing and Sister Bai won't make things difficult for you, and I won't, hehe..."

In fact, at this time, Die Er had vaguely guessed something.

After all, Ying Ning called Zhou Yu Husband.

And she also saw Zhou Yu's unfathomable cultivation, so she calmed down a little.

After entering the front hall, Xiaoqing also rushed in, looked at Die'er, and said with a smile: "It turns out that she is a little fairy who just took shape..."

In fact, she didn't have any malicious intentions, she just said what she thought of, and what she said was the truth.

But when she heard it in other people's ears, there was something wrong, thinking that she was mocking others.

Therefore, Zhou Yu couldn't help but frowned and said, "Xiaoqing, how many times have I taught you? Why do you always talk without thinking?"

"Hmph, you know how to train me, why don't you dare to train your sister?"

"What should I train your sister to do? She..."

"What happened to Xiaoqing?"

At this moment, Bai Suzhen walked in with Bai Min'er.

Seeing the battle, Die'er was so frightened that she hurried forward to greet her and saluted: "Little girl Die'er, I have met my two sisters."

If it was said that her heart was full of turbulent waves before, now it was like a tsunami.

Who is this family?too exaggerated.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Chou also walked in...

Butterfly was even more speechless.

Originally, she was a little complacent about her cultivation, but now, she is a little bit shocked.

"Hahaha, okay, everyone is not an outsider, Ji'an, you don't have to worry, in the future, when you become a teacher in the academy, Dier can practice with Miner and the others. I guarantee that no one will dare to bully her."

Upon hearing this, Die'er was very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you sir, thank you sir."

Ying Ning was also very happy, and said with a smile, "Sister Die'er, you don't have to be restrained when you come here, it's just like your own home."

Butterfly nodded gratefully.

Unexpectedly, when she first entered the world of mortals, she would have such an adventure...
