Mountain Miscellaneous

Chapter 147
A piece of white paper fell from the desk to the ground, on which it said Taoism follows nature.

"Whistling..."

The wind blew more quickly, and the white paper was blown away to the distance as soon as it hit the ground.

"Hey, weird!"

Meng Yuncheng stared at the desk, his eyebrows twisted into Sichuan characters, and exclaimed in bewilderment.

"It's often windy on the mountain, what's so strange? As for the white paper blowing away, let's blow it away. Master Li, let's hurry up!"

Meng Hongru's chess addiction broke out, and he only thought about fighting with Li Changqing, and said nonchalantly.

"Third Uncle, there is such a strong wind, the branches are swaying in the wind, and the words you wrote are blowing in the wind, but look at Principal Li's words on the desk!"

Meng Yuncheng pointed to the "Majestic Mountains and Rivers" written by Li Changqing on the desk, and said to Meng Hongru with glum eyes.

"In such a strong wind, a piece of light and thin paper can't move!"

Thinking carefully, Meng Hongru's chess addiction disappeared suddenly due to the impact of strong contrast, showing an unbelievable expression.

"Master Li, how did you do it?"

Meng Yuncheng glanced back, not surprised to see Li Changqing standing there quietly.

"It's amazing. It's rumored that if Confucianism is cultivated into righteousness, it can be worth a thousand pounds. Is it true?"

Meng Hongru thought of the secrets recorded in the ancient books at home, like a weight stuck in his throat.

"One word is a thousand pounds?" Meng Yuncheng heard it for the first time, and his delicate eyes couldn't hide his surprise.

"Hehe, it's an exaggeration!"

Li Changqing is determined to continue the sage's learning, and he opened up a sea of ​​learning in Meixinni Gongwan. He studies diligently every day, rain or shine, and the awe-inspiring righteousness accumulated in the sea of ​​learning is very solid. He uses a little ink brush to condense the awe-inspiring righteousness at the tip of the pen, although it can't reach the rumors. The effect of a single word is a thousand catties, but it can barely achieve a single word.

"Let me try! Hey..."

Meng Hongru rolled up his sleeves, slumped down and gritted his teeth before he managed to lift the white paper on the table.

"This..., it's so heavy to write a few words on a piece of white paper? This is very unscientific! Could it be the effect of righteousness?"

Meng Yuncheng was well aware of how strong his third uncle was, and it was no problem to lift himself up with one hand, but it was so difficult to lift a piece of paper with both hands!

"Master Li hides his secrets, this kind of ability is simply unimaginable!"

The Qingyang Temple where Meng Hongru lived was originally named Qingyang Palace, which has a long history and is known as the No. [-] temple in the West of Fu. Although he is at the bottom of the Xuanzi generation and knows many strange people and things, he still can't help but sigh.

"Principal Li, what exactly is awe-inspiring righteousness?"

Meng Yuncheng has a heavy responsibility, and he is more eager than anyone else to crack the mystery of Haoran's righteousness.

"Have you ever read Mencius?" Li Changqing asked.

"Of course!" Meng Yuncheng, as the No. 30 fifth grandson of Mencius, can memorize "Mencius" backwards before he even went to school!

"Dare to ask Master, is it evil?" Li Changqing asked Meng Yuncheng with clear and spirited eyes like an ancient well reflecting the bright moon.

"I know, I am good at cultivating my noble spirit." Meng Yuncheng immediately answered the next sentence.

"May I ask what is awe-inspiring spirit?" Li Changqing continued to ask.

"It's hard to say. It's Qi. It's big and strong. It's directly nourished and harmless. It's stuffed between heaven and earth. It's Qi, and it matches righteousness and Tao. It's nothing, it's discouraged. It's born of righteousness. Those who are unrighteous attack and take it. If you don’t do it with your heart, you will be discouraged.”

Meng Yuncheng replied instinctively almost at the same time as Li Changqing finished asking.

The dialogue between Li Changqing and Meng Yuncheng comes from the book "Mencius". Gongsun Chou once asked Mencius what he is good at?

Mencius replied: "I can understand the emotional tendencies expressed in other people's words, and I am good at cultivating my noble spirit."

Gongsun Chou then asked, "May I ask what is awe-inspiring spirit?"

Mencius replied: "It's hard to explain. The awe-inspiring spirit is the grandest and strongest. If you use righteousness to cultivate it and don't use evil to harm it, you can make it omnipresent in the world. The awe-inspiring spirit is in harmony with benevolence, righteousness and morality." If you don’t do this, the aura of grandeur will be weak and exhausted like a person without food. The aura of grandeur is formed by the long-term accumulation of justice in the heart, and it is not obtained through accidental acts of justice. Where the mind is at ease, the awe-inspiring spirit will be exhausted."

"Since you have read "Mencius", isn't the answer here?" Li Changqing said with a smile.

"I still don't understand!" Meng Yuncheng couldn't remember how many times he had read "Mencius" since he was a child. He had already understood the meaning of "Mencius" in simple terms, but he didn't understand what Li Changqing wanted to express.

"Establish your mind with morality and conduct yourself! If you can't establish your mind and don't know why you read, it's like watering and fertilizing a vegetable field, but if there are no seeds, no matter how much water you pour and how much fertilizer you apply How can it be possible to grow towering trees?"

After Li Changqing finished speaking, he cast his eyes on the mountains in the distance. How many people can stand up without being blinded by material desires?

"I see. I understand. The truth has always been here. I have read "Mencius" for decades, but I have never discovered it!"

Mount Tai could not be seen with a single leaf, and when the window paper was pierced, Meng Yuncheng suddenly became enlightened and was ecstatic.

"Hmm!" Li Changqing replied lightly.

Meng Yuncheng used to think that he and Li Changqing were bright for a while, so how can they be bright when they are born?Now I realize that I am far behind Li Changqing. Without Li Changqing’s guidance, Meng Yuncheng might never have realized this. He said sincerely to Li Changqing with gratitude: “Principal Li, I want to learn from you. Please accept me as your student.” Bar!"

"There is a hundred acres of land on Zhongnan Mountain, and you can plant flowers on one acre of land!"

Li Changqing neither agreed nor refused, but made a very strange request to Meng Yuncheng.

Meng Yuncheng is indeed a seed of reading, with a high level of comprehension. Li Changqing intends to carry forward hundreds of schools of thought and re-establish hundreds of schools on Zhongnan Mountain. Students like Meng Yuncheng are rare, but although Meng Yuncheng is very humble in front of Li Changqing, in fact The heart is high and arrogant, even if you understand the truth of righteousness, it is difficult to establish your heart, so it still needs to be polished.

"Okay, teacher!"

Meng Yuncheng agreed directly without asking why, and the address for Li Changqing had changed.

"Master Li, if I hadn't been in Qingyang Temple, I would have asked you to be my teacher!"

Meng Hongru was quite relieved, what he failed to accomplish, he saw hope in Meng Yuncheng.

"Hehe!" Li Changqing smiled slightly.

"That's right, I was the one who lost the calligraphy competition just now. Your calligraphy is so heavy, there is no comparison between the two!"

Meng Hongru recalled that he told Li Changqing that the calligraphy of the two of them was equal, and only now did he know that there was a world of difference between them!
ps: Regarding this chapter, some people may think that one word is too exaggerated, but the plot of Taoism and Yin Yang will be introduced later. If the ability of Confucianism is not expanded, it will not be able to match. Maybe some people don’t like it. Resuming the update is a risky writing. To be honest, I have no idea.

　Thanks to the worker brother for the reward, after such a long break, I am still supporting!
