Confucian Sword Fairy
Chapter 88 Lecture
Chapter 88 Lecture
Cheng Hong's face was solemn, and there was a hint of pleading in his words.
Chen Jingyun beside him also turned his head, his eyes were earnest, as if he hoped that the request would be fulfilled.
The intention and attitude of the teacher and the student made Song Zhishu stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what was going on, so he had to return the courtesy and say: "Mr. , as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
He didn't agree directly, because he really didn't know what the two of them were asking for.
At the same time, I was also wondering, what can I do in Qingzhou City?
A dean of an academy, and a gentleman, even the Qingzhou city lord has to treat each other with courtesy, and his status is very high. There is no way to do anything in the city. If the other party can't do it, it is useless to find him.
Even if the other party knows his origin, that's all, and Song Zhishu understands that he has no strength and no identity now.
It must not be an easy thing to make Cheng Hong, a teacher and a student, like this, so the words only say that you can do it and try your best.
If it can't be done, then it's another matter.
"Mr. Song can definitely do it."
Cheng Hong smiled, and then took a deep breath: "After knowing that Mr. Song came to Qingzhou City, all the gentlemen in the academy and I were very happy. Finally, we unanimously decided that we hope that Mr. Song can give lectures at my Qingzhou Academy."
"Of course it's good to just teach one class. Don't dare to ask for anything else. At the same time, Qingzhou Academy will also give corresponding rewards. I will definitely not make Mr. Song work for nothing. But if Mr. Song is interested, come to my Qingzhou Academy. Mr. Dang, we are also very welcome."
Song Zhishu is a Confucian scholar, and many scholars in the world now know that it may be a little bit reluctant to be a teacher in other places.
But it is completely different in Qingzhou Academy, even Chen Jingyun is qualified, let alone Song Zhishu.
But this is just an idea in Cheng Hong's mind.
The other party was a person who was valued by the Great Zhou Wengong. Qingzhou Academy obviously couldn't tolerate this giant Buddha, and Cheng Hong also knew himself.
"Go to Qingzhou Academy to give lectures?"
Hearing this, Song Zhishu couldn't help being taken aback again. He had thought that the other party's visit might be for the sake of Confucianism, but he didn't expect it to be a lecture. Not to mention how high he is in the realm of Confucianism, but at least he is a long-established scholar.
Otherwise, if you don’t say whether you can explain something, even if you can, can you convince the public?Ordinary scholars certainly can't do it.
Song Zhishu didn't expect that the dean of Qingzhou Academy would think of him so highly.
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhi smiled in his writing, and couldn't help saying: "Mr. Cheng is joking, I am only in the realm of Confucianism, and I have only entered the door of Confucianism not long ago, and my own understanding is still superficial. .”
This is a polite refusal, because he also thinks that he is not suitable for giving lectures for the time being. Even if he has a reason in his heart, lectures are very important. If it is not right, it will be a misleading student. Not every scholar is suitable to be a teacher or a teacher. .
At the same time, Song Zhishu also felt that he was not ready yet, and even if he wanted to talk about it, he had to wait until a later date.
"Mr. Song is really humble."
Cheng Hong also seemed to see Song Zhishu's worries, and immediately said: "Mr. Song recited the way of the university, which aroused the sound of heaven and earth, and lowered his literary spirit. The sage's lectures are nothing more than that. If you are not even qualified to give lectures, the world will not be able to do so." There are several scholars who are qualified, so I implore Mr. Song to agree."
Arousing the voice of heaven and earth, and lowering the spirit of writing, there are only two situations that can occur. One is that the sage preaches, and the heaven and earth feel it.
The second is that some people realize the true principles of Confucianism and prove themselves, and when the two become one, they will also appear.
And no matter which one, in the eyes of Confucian scholars, it is all great.
Cheng Hong has also seen the way of the university and realized it, but he didn't really understand it, but Song Zhishu was different, he understood it, and he did it accordingly. He wanted to let the other party go to Qingzhou Academy to talk about some principles in the university. It's definitely a blessing.
In fact, Cheng Hong can guarantee that not only Qingzhou Academy, but any academy in the world will not miss this opportunity.
"This..." Song Zhishu didn't speak directly. If he just talked about some principles in the university, then it would be fine.
It's just that I still have some worries in my heart, after all, I haven't done this kind of thing before.
Once he lectures, those who listen to him can be said to be his students.
It even affects some people.
Before you are fully prepared, you really have to be cautious.
"Mr. Song, if you agree to give lectures, Qingzhou Academy can use one hundred thousand spirit stones as a reward. As for your concerns, you don't need to take it to heart. You also know that recently, the academy has recruited a large number of students. I have never been exposed to Confucianism, so the purpose of this lecture is for enlightenment, you can rest assured."
Cheng Hong saw that Song Zhishu had concerns in his heart, so he directly spoke about the reward for this lecture, and the other thing was to call him enlightenment.
Confucian enlightenment is very important, but it is much simpler than explaining some Confucian principles in depth.
The reason is very simple, that is, most of the people who listened to the school did not enter the country.
You only need to talk about some simple truths to let students know what Confucianism is.
In fact, Cheng Hong can do this kind of thing by himself, but he doesn't want to let go of this opportunity. Song Zhishu's Confucian talent, and his understanding of the way of the university, and more importantly, this is the first time the other party has given a lecture. In any case, Qingzhou Academy is not at a loss.
Therefore, he made up his mind early in the morning, and then Qingzhou came to visit, which was of great significance.
Song Zhishu pondered for a while after hearing Cheng Hong's explanation.
What the other party said was really good.
And it is not difficult to enlighten students who have not had much contact with Confucianism.
Another point is that the reward for this lecture is [-] spirit stones. It is obvious that he has planned it. He knows that he is a dual cultivation of Taoism and Confucianism. Spirit stones are very important, and [-] spirit stones is not a small amount.
I can agree to the trip to Qingzhou Academy to give lectures.
But Song Zhishu didn't speak directly, and said directly after contemplation: "It's not impossible for the master to ask me to give lectures at Qingzhou Academy, but there is one condition, if the master agrees, I can make preparations today."
"Mr. Song, but it's okay to say." Hearing this, Cheng Hong was overjoyed.
As for Song Zhishu's initiative to ask for conditions, he didn't think there was anything wrong.
After all, I am asking for something from others, and it is still taking advantage of it. It is human nature for others to ask for conditions.
As long as it can be done, Cheng Hong thinks there is no problem at all.
"For this lecture, I hope that Qingzhou Academy can open the door of convenience. Anyone in the city who is interested can attend the lecture without setting any requirements." Song Zhishu said slowly, stating the conditions.
Now that monsters appear, everyone in the city is in danger. If you want to contact Confucianism, although it is temporary, it is better than doing nothing.
Song Zhishu knew from Lin Cheng and others that there were not many people who could enter Qingzhou Academy, and the number of places was limited.
I'm not from Qingzhou Academy, so I can't do much, but if it's lectures, I can decide for myself who can listen. Maybe it won't attract many people, and it won't help many people, but since I can do it, why not do it? ?
Let more monks get in touch with Confucianism, not to mention cultivating a few real scholars in the future, but at least it can make a modest contribution.
Now no one knows when this monster incident will end, and the power of Confucianism is the only way to deal with monsters.
What Song Zhishu thought was also very simple, even if he could only open the way of Confucianism for one person, that would be good. As for the others, he didn't think about it, he just felt that doing so was within his power.
After all, when he went to the Wanshi Pavilion today, so many casual cultivators were blocked, he was also touched, and he did as much as he could.
"This"
Cheng Hong was silent for a while when he heard this, and replied directly: "Qingzhou Academy can agree."
He actually guessed Song Zhishu's purpose in his heart, but he didn't really understand it in his heart, because some people really don't have the talent to practice Confucianism, even if they talk about it, they may not understand the truth.
Of course, this does not mean that Cheng Hong does not approve of it, because this move is done by a gentleman, and he admires it in his heart.
As for why Qingzhou Academy didn't do this, one reason is that it lacks energy, and the other reason is that it is very troublesome.
But if it's just a lecture, it's okay.
"In this way, the students will have no problem."
Seeing that the other party agreed, Song Zhishu smiled, stood up and bowed slightly.
"Okay, Mr. Song, please prepare for three days. After three days, Jing Yun will come to welcome you to Qingzhou Academy." Cheng Hong said immediately, he was naturally very happy that he could achieve his goal, and at the same time gave three days of preparation time.
Just in these three days, I can also spread the lectures and attract more monks to pay attention.
Immediately, Cheng Hong, Chen Jingyun, teachers and students, bowed slightly to Song Zhishu and said goodbye.
After all, the matter has already been said, so it is not good to go on.
Song Zhishu sent the two of them outside the door, and waited for them to leave before closing the door and sitting cross-legged.
"Confucian lectures should not be perfunctory, especially for enlightenment, you must be cautious, so what you talk about is very important." Song Zhishu sat cross-legged on the bed and said to himself, with a somewhat solemn expression.
But in fact, before agreeing to Mr. Cheng Hong, he had already thought about what to say, but there were some things that needed to be improved.
And this kind of thing can't be rushed, besides there are still three days, you can take it slowly.
So Song Zhishu took out Baoyu and Lingbi again.
"Top-grade spiritual-grade gems, engraved with two kinds of divine characters, there will definitely be no problem with my current Yuanshen, but I don't know how much time it will take." Song Zhishu thought for a while, adjusted his state, and then took a deep breath, holding it in his hand. Spirit pen.
Three Thousand Divine Inscriptions are different from ordinary Immortal Inscriptions, they are somewhat complicated and more similar to hieroglyphs, so you need to concentrate when inscribing them.
Song Zhishu controlled it with a powerful primordial spirit, injected it with his own strong mana, and was careful in the process.
In this way, time passed bit by bit.
I don't know how long ago.
With Baoyu trembling for a while, two blurred characters appeared, submerged into the treasure jade, and finally a simple aura slowly appeared, and the treasure jade in front of him became extremely dazzling, as if there was a round of big sun engraved on it.
"It's done."
Song Zhishu's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he held Baoyu.
I can only feel one of the fiery breaths coming continuously, which is a little hot to the touch, gestating a fiery force.
The words 'Zhi' and 'Yang' represent the purest power of pure Yang. Song Zhishu understands that this power is absolutely second only to Confucian righteousness in restraining demons, and it is the best way for ordinary monks to deal with demons.
If you add the awe-inspiring righteousness in your body, the power will be multiplied.
"That's right. If this gem is sold, I'm afraid the price will be much higher than ordinary high-grade spiritual-grade gems, especially in Qingzhou City."
Song Zhishu understands that almost ninety-nine percent of the monks in the city are in danger because of the appearance of monsters, and hope to have powerful means, so the value of the gem in his hand is very high, but he does not intend to sell it, after all, he also needs it. .
What's more, it took him nearly two days to inscribe such a precious jade, even if he engraved it day and night, he still couldn't make much.
Unless one's primordial spirit can be improved again, reaching the late stage of alchemy or stronger, it will be easier.
"There is no problem with Baoyu, and the choice of divine text is just right, so it will be fine."
Song Zhishu put Baoyu away, then raised his head and said to himself: "The next thing is to prepare to go to Qingzhou Academy to give lectures."
As he said that, he cleaned up the table, took out the books he had brought from Taihao Sword Sect, and began to read slowly. At the same time as he settled the content of the lecture, he understood it again and confirmed that there were no problems in it.
Soon, the three-day period arrived.
In the past few days, various news have spread in the city.
Most of them were related to demons. The City Lord's Mansion said that they had found traces of Tiansheng believers, and took advantage of the momentum to kill a group of people and some weak demons. This news reduced the panic in the city a lot.
But in the same way, the city lord's mansion is still under martial law, claiming that the demons have not been eliminated, and there are already signs of chaos.
Therefore, Wanshi Pavilion released more related tasks than before, and the rewards were once again increased.
But apart from that, there is another piece of news that has attracted the attention of the monks in the city, especially casual monks. That is, Qingzhou Academy said that a gentleman was invited to give lectures. There is no threshold for the enlightenment of Confucianism, but anyone who is interested can go there Listen to learn.
This made countless casual cultivators in the city a little unbelievable. Before Qingzhou Academy said it would no longer recruit people, many people failed to enter.
Even if there are quotas, most of them are divided up by the children of many forces in the city, and the casual cultivators have opinions on this.
If it is said that the establishment assessment has not passed, then it is fine, but now it is going through the back door openly.
How can some casual cultivators who have no powerful background not be angry?
But what about anger?
This is the case everywhere in the world today.
But now a gentleman was suddenly invited to give a lecture, which was beyond their expectations, and it was still an enlightenment.
Some people felt that Qingzhou Academy was upset, and in order to calm their grievances, they randomly asked a so-called gentleman to give lectures, expressing that they were not interested.
However, there are some monks who believe that the demon incident is getting more and more serious, and there are still Tiansheng believers who appear from time to time. If they have the opportunity to contact Confucianism, even if they cannot cultivate Confucian righteousness in the end, at least it will be psychological comfort, so they decided to take a look.
Yunlingzhai, in a guest room.
Song Zhishu sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, but he did not meditate.
In front of him was a book of Confucian classics. At this moment, he was digesting and understanding, and was making final preparations.
After a while, Song Zhishu opened his eyes and put away everything.
Because it's almost time for the appointment.
"Song Daoyou."
And at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was Lin Cheng and the others.
Song Zhishu got up, opened the door, and looked at the few people in front of him. Although they had only seen each other for a few days, the aura of the three of them was stronger than before. Obviously, they did not waste their time. They worked hard to practice, and the appearance of the monster gave them a sense of urgency.
Without saying anything, Song Zhishu was about to invite a few people in.
"Song Daoyou, we won't go in today."
Lin Cheng smiled, and his tone was a little excited: "Have you heard? Qingzhou Academy has invited a gentleman to give a lecture about the enlightenment of Confucianism, and it will start soon. It is said that anyone can listen to it without giving up restrictions. The three of us plan to Go and see if there is any gain."
"Yeah, not to mention whether we can cultivate Confucian righteousness, but it's also good to have more contact. Would you like to join me, Fellow Daoist Song?" Wang Chong also asked.
"Song Daoyou is a true scholar of Confucianism. He doesn't need any enlightenment. Besides, the gentleman hired by Qingzhou Academy, I don't think he can compare to Song Daoyou, maybe he is better than Mr. Chen." Li Xiansong shook his head with a smile, thinking that Qingzhou Academy did this. Certainly not really invite some powerful Confucian scholars to come, just wait for others to go, after all, I have never been in contact with Confucianism or Taoism.
But Song Zhishu and the others knew that true Confucian scholars had extraordinary talents, and it was said that great Confucians valued them very much.
Qingzhou Academy is indeed good in the eyes of several people, but it is only an academy in a small place.
I am afraid that the gentlemen invited are only aimed at those who have never been enlightened.
"Oh?"
"So I am such a person in the eyes of the three fellow Taoists?"
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded, which shocked Li Xiansong and others. They turned their heads involuntarily and found Chen Jingyun standing not far away with a smile.
For a moment, the three of them lowered their heads, a little at a loss, especially Li Xiansong, who wanted to slap himself a few times.
When is it bad to say it, why should you say bad things about Mr. Chen at this time.
Song Zhishu shook his head and smiled, but did not speak.
He knew that with Chen Jingyun's personality, he would not take these things to heart, after all, there was no malice.
Sure enough, after Chen Jingyun finished speaking, he walked forward slowly, just looked at Lin Cheng and the others with a smile, then turned his head to look at Song Zhishu, bowed slightly, and said in a respectful tone: "Mr. Song, everything is ready, My teacher sent me to invite Mr. Song to the academy to give lectures."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Cheng and the others were taken aback for a moment, and then Qiqi looked at Song Zhishu with shock in their eyes.
"Could it be that the gentleman invited by Qingzhou Academy is you Song Daoyou?"
Can't blame them for being shocked.
Because several people really did not expect that Qingzhou Academy would actually do this.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems normal. With Song Daoyou's ability, he is indeed qualified.
"Of course, the three fellow Taoists, you have to thank Mr. Song. It is he who proposed that there is no threshold for this lecture, and anyone who is interested can come." Chen Jingyun couldn't help being a little amused seeing the shocked expressions of several people.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, without further ado, let's go."
Song Zhishu didn't worry too much about this place, he just wanted to start and finish as soon as possible.
"Okay, please, Mr. Song."
Chen Jingyun didn't talk nonsense, and led everyone out of the inn to Qingzhou Academy.
Qingzhou Academy is very large, and there are dozens of teachers, who are basically in the realm of knowing and doing and knowing the sage, but they and the dean Cheng Hong will not participate in this lecture, they just made preparations, and the lecture place is in The Academy Square, where the place is very large, can accommodate thousands of people to study.
At the same time, in order to meet Song Zhishu's requirements, Qingzhou Academy will not close its doors today, and anyone who comes can go to the square.
According to the estimate of the academy, besides those students, there will be more than a thousand casual practitioners who will come to give lectures today, because the academy just said that it invited a gentleman to give a lecture, but did not say who it was.
This was the situation introduced by Chen Jingyun on the road, so Song Zhishu knew it well.
Song Zhishu also expected this. After all, he is not a famous scholar, and Qingzhou Academy has not revealed his identity. It is not bad to have a thousand people. If it is Gu Yun Daru, I am afraid that all the monks in the city will go, but that As a result, the academy can't hold it.
Not long after, everyone walked into Qingzhou Academy. Inside there were pavilions, bamboo groves and lotus ponds. The decoration was not luxurious, but it met the appetite of scholars.
And after walking to the academy square, I saw many people sitting in the square, besides the students of the academy, there were also some casual practitioners.
These people were densely packed and their voices were noisy, as if they were all talking about the gentleman who was lecturing today.
In the middle is a high platform, which is the place for Mr. to give lectures.
Lin Cheng and the others found a place to sit down.
Song Zhishu was waiting on the sidelines.
After checking the time was almost up, Chen Jingyun went directly to the high platform, looked at the crowd, and exercised Confucian righteousness: "Everyone, be quiet, the time has come. Today, I will give a lecture at Qingzhou Academy. Everyone who comes can listen. Stand up, please, Mr. Lecturer."
After speaking, he bowed slightly in the direction where Song Zhishu was.
Below, a group of students and monks listening to the lecture also stood up one by one, with curiosity in their eyes.
"This gentleman seems a little young."
"Yeah, Qingzhou Academy, is it just a matter of dealing with it casually?"
"Whether he should deal with it or not, it's good enough for casual practitioners like us to come in and listen to learn."
Looking at Song Zhishu, some monks whispered, thinking that Song Zhishu is a bit like a scholar, but he is very young, so he couldn't help hesitating for a while.
Facing thousands of gazes, Song Zhishu's expression was calm. The scene in the Law Enforcement Hall back then was much bigger than this. He didn't feel any psychological pressure at all, and just slowly walked up to the high platform.
"The Zhishu of the Song Dynasty is today's lecturer, and what I want to talk about today is the way of a gentleman."
Song Zhishu looked at the crowd, without any nonsense, directly stated the content of today's lecture.
This is what he has considered carefully, and Confucianism values the gentleman most.
Most of the people present are people who have not had much contact with Confucianism and Taoism. Starting from the way of a gentleman, let them initially understand what a gentleman is. This is the enlightenment content that Song Zhishu gave to everyone.
"May I ask you, sir, what is the way of a gentleman?" Below, a person stood up, young and fat.
It doesn't look like someone from Qingzhou Academy, but a casual cultivator, with a desire for knowledge in his eyes.
"Good question."
Seeing this, Song Zhishu pressed his hand and signaled the other party to sit down, then looked at the crowd, and after a moment of contemplation, he said directly: "A gentleman is virtuous, starting from the interests of everyone, a gentleman is virtuous, and spreading virtues to the world with a positive attitude. A gentleman treats everything with a fair heart, a gentleman is magnanimous, and does not need to avoid any suspicious eyes, a gentleman is moderate, impartial, and a gentleman keeps a respect in his heart."
Song Zhishu opened his mouth, not hiding the slightest bit of the way of a gentleman he understood, and telling everyone openly.
At the same time, explain in simple terms, and tell everyone what is the way of a gentleman.
He didn't quote the classics, and he said it very clearly, even an ordinary person can understand it.
And in the process of explaining, I am also constantly understanding and comprehending. Lectures are not all for others, but also for myself, so as to further understand the way of a gentleman.
Unknowingly, Song Zhishu sank into it, and righteousness surged in his body, lingering in his chest.
The students below were all attracted, and they couldn't help nodding when they heard the words of the gentleman's way.
And at this time, an inexplicable aura emerged from some students.
That is when they began to understand in the process of listening to the way of a gentleman.
That is the so-called enlightenment.
As time went by, more and more of these auras gradually surfaced over the entire square, emitting wisps of glow.
But it was also in the process of Song Zhishu's lecture.
In a courtyard of Qingzhou Academy.
Dean Cheng Hong sat down with all the students of the academy and chatted with each other.
The reason why they didn't go to the lectures was very simple. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that every scholar had his own way. Besides, this time was just an enlightenment, and it didn't matter whether he listened or not.
"teacher."
At this time, Chen Jingyun came over and bowed slightly: "Teacher, what Mr. Song is talking about today is the way of a gentleman."
"The way of a gentleman?" Hearing this, Cheng Hong nodded: "Confucianism cultivates the mind and becomes a gentleman. Mr. Song's enlightenment content is well selected."
The way of a gentleman is the most important thing in Confucianism, and it is also what scholars pursue all their lives. Therefore, what Song Zhishu said is indeed very suitable for students and casual practitioners who have never been in contact with Confucianism.
"This Mr. Song has realized the way of the university, and it is reasonable to talk about the way of a gentleman." A gentleman from Qingzhou Academy spoke up, agreeing with what Cheng Hong said.
"Huh? No, why do I feel Confucian righteousness?"
Suddenly, a gentleman from the academy opened his mouth. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the academy square, and immediately showed a look of astonishment: "Dean, gentlemen, where are you looking?"
When everyone heard the words, they cast their gazes one after another, and then all of them couldn't help but widen their eyes.
I saw strands of Confucian righteousness emerging in that direction at the moment. Although they didn't see much of it, they were very pure.
"This"
Seeing this scene, Dean Cheng Hong couldn't help asking: "Could it be that Mr. Song's first lecture can enlighten people?"
He was shocked, because the current situation is that the appearance of those Confucian righteousness just means that some students are enlightening, and they are obviously beginning to understand the way of a gentleman that Song Zhishu will teach, even if they only understand a small part, it is enough.
After all, they are all people who have not had much contact with Confucianism and Taoism.
"how is this possible?"
A gentleman couldn't believe it: "It's not easy to lead people to enlightenment and embark on the road of Confucianism. Even talented people need to study day and night. Now there are students and casual practitioners in the square, and their talents are uneven. How did Mr. Song do this?" Arrived?"
Others didn't understand, because it was too exaggerated. How could it enlighten people in the first lecture?
And it seems that there are quite a few enlightened people in the square, close to a hundred.
"Mr. Song is a person valued by the Great Zhou Wen Palace. He is extremely talented. When he recited the Dao of the University at the beginning, it caused a vision of heaven and earth. There is a gentleman's way in the University. The content of his lectures is what he is best at. It is his own understanding. Li, so this kind of thing can only be done by Mr. Song."
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Hong expressed his own understanding, because the person who can arouse the voice of heaven and earth is because of thorough enlightenment.
Let such a person tell a truth that he is best at, which is directly better than precepts and deeds.
Even if the students and monks in the square have not had much contact with Confucianism, they can understand it as long as they have a little savvy. Of course, there is a more important point. It seems that they don't understand anything, but as long as they say it, they can accept it completely and won't reject it, which is why, the more Confucian scholars practice, the more difficult it is.
Because the more you know, the more you think. If you don't understand it, you can only get stuck in it.
But some people don't have this affliction, like those people in the square.
"It seems that the choice of Qingzhou Academy to invite Mr. Song to give lectures, I did not make a mistake." Seeing this, Cheng Hong was very pleased. This is why he must invite Song Zhishu to give lectures. Anyone can do it.
"Teacher, in this way, more and more people will come to listen to the lecture later."
At this moment, Chen Jingyun opened his mouth, looking at the light of the Confucian righteousness on the square, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
Such a vision will definitely attract more people's attention, and the casual cultivators entering the academy will definitely increase significantly.
"It's okay."
Cheng Hong didn't care, and was very happy in his heart, because in this way, as long as Qingzhou can survive the catastrophe of demons this time, the reputation of Qingzhou College will spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, so he continued to laugh: "Just say it once That's all, and Mr. Song asked, if anyone wants to come, let them come, and Jing Yun should also pay attention to maintaining order."
"Yes, teacher." Chen Jingyun nodded upon hearing this.
"correct."
At this moment, Cheng Hong seemed to have thought of something, and said again: "Recently, the demon incident has been brought under control, and all forces in the city are preparing to assist in order to curb the disaster of demons as soon as possible. We Qingzhou Academy must take action, so you wait If you have time, go to the Wanshi Pavilion to pick up a few demon missions, and then find a few helpers."
"Otherwise, City Lord Qiu will say that I, Qingzhou Academy, only know how to study and don't know how to contribute."
As the dean of Qingzhou Academy, he had to do his best when the calamity of demons appeared.
Not only because of the orders of the city lord, but also the responsibility of the scholars.
And his disciple Chen Jingyun, who cultivates both Taoism and Confucianism, can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in a short time, and also has the Confucianist Sacred Realm, so he is the best candidate for the academy.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Chen Jingyun was a little astonished.
He wasn't prepared to face the demon yet, but since the teacher spoke, he couldn't refuse, so he nodded immediately.
And on the other side.
Song Zhishu stood on the high platform in the square and said all the ways of a gentleman he understood.
At the same time, he also found that there were people below who had been enlightened and were gathering Confucian righteousness in their bodies. At the same time, as time went by, more and more people were in the square, probably attracted by the vision of Confucian righteousness.
But Song Zhishu didn't care and continued to give lectures.
About an hour later.
Song Zhishu stopped, and the righteousness of Confucianism surged in the sky above the square, continuously pouring into the bodies of the students and casual practitioners present.
But there are still some people who are not enlightened, still understanding, attracted by what he said, and thinking seriously.
However, I have finished my lecture this time, and I have said everything that should be said.
Only how many people benefited from it, Song Zhishu didn't know, and at the same time he didn't want to know, because he had already done what he should do, and he didn't pay attention to those people who came later.
It's not that I don't want to repeat it again, but that I missed it, that is, I missed it.
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhishu bowed slightly, without disturbing the people below who were enlightened and understanding, and slowly walked down the high platform.
"Mr. Song."
Chen Jingyun immediately greeted him, and bowed his hands directly: "You are really amazing. Let me do the math for you this lecture. Counting the people who were attracted later, the total number of people who attended the lecture was three thousand. There are at least a hundred people who have realized it."
Although he didn't fully listen to those gentlemen's ways, but looking at the enlightened people in the square, after they had already surpassed a hundred, he only had admiration for Song Zhishu in his heart. He was only one level higher than himself, but he was able to do so.
I have been a teacher for some years, but the scholars who help enlightenment are not as many as the Mr. Song in front of me.
"3000 people?"
Hearing this, Song Zhishu was taken aback, and suddenly felt that this number was interesting.
Dacheng's most holy teacher, Confucius, is rumored to have three thousand disciples.
Could it be a coincidence?
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhishu smiled, but he didn't take it seriously: "Since the lecture has been completed, I'll go back first."
"Then I'll take you back."
Chen Jingyun spoke immediately, and now he still admires Song Zhishu so much.
YouQi was also a little annoyed, why did he listen to the other party's lecture on the way of a gentleman, even if he couldn't go further, he could still gain a lot of benefits, it's a pity that he missed it.
Therefore, he thought that he should draw in a good relationship with this Mr. Song.
Maybe.
You can also ask the other party to help with the tasks assigned by the teacher.
Chen Jingyun suddenly thought, after all, he was very clear about Song Zhishu's strength, but he didn't speak directly, so he had to think about how to word it first.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Song Zhishu didn't know what the other party was thinking, he just nodded in return, and then left the academy under the leadership of Chen Jingyun.
As for Lin Cheng and others still staying in the square, they were also attracted by the way of a gentleman, and they realized it carefully. If they can understand it, it is not difficult to cultivate Confucian righteousness.
On the way, Song Zhishu also saw people rushing to Qingzhou Academy, and they seemed to be attracted by the vision of Confucian righteousness.
It's a pity that it's too late to go now.
About half an hour later, the two returned to Yunlingzhai.
"Thank you for sending me off, Mr. Chen. It's been a hard journey." Song Zhishu said, and at the same time invited the other party to come in for a rest.
"Then Mr. Song, I will not be polite." Hearing this, Chen Jingyun, who was struggling all the way on how to speak, his eyes lit up, and he walked into the room after cupping his hands.
He has never seen a monster before, so he doesn't know how strong it is. Although he has both Taoism and Confucianism, he is not very sure. If Song Zhishu joins, it will undoubtedly be much better.
However, Chen Jingyun did not mention it directly, but said: "Mr. Song, Qingzhou Academy will send you the Lingshi within three days for your lecture, as a token of gratitude. Please wait patiently."
"It's okay, there's no rush."
Song Zhishu poured a cup of tea for the other party, saying that there is no need to worry.
There are indeed a lot of [-] spirit stones, but it is obviously nothing to Qingzhou Academy, and it is impossible to lose credibility because of this.
Immediately, he looked at Chen Jingyun, and after a little thought, he asked: "I saw that Mr. Chen had something on his mind along the way, so I'm afraid he has something to say to me?"
Song Zhishu also saw the other party's behavior along the way, there must be something, and it was related to him, but it seemed difficult to say it directly, now at the inn, seeing Chen Jingyun still talking about him, Song Zhishu had to ask directly.
"It really can't be hidden from Mr. Song."
After Chen Jingyun heard it, he felt a little embarrassed.
Secret Dao really didn't reach the level of self-cultivation, yet he was noticed.
But now that he has said it, he is not a man of contempt, so he took a deep breath and stood up at the same time: "Mr. Song, I do have something I would like you to help me with. My teacher has given me something to represent Qingzhou Academy accepts the task of Wanshige to deal with the demon incident, but I am afraid that my own strength is not good enough, and I am entrusted by my teacher, so I hope Mr. Song can go with me."
Speaking of this, Chen Jingyun felt that something was wrong, and immediately said again: "Of course, if Mr. Song doesn't want to, I won't force it."
After all, there is something to ask for, and you are still facing an unknown monster. It is impossible to ask others to agree, right?
This is not what readers should do.
"I see."
When Song Zhishu heard the words, he understood.
No wonder the latter behaved like that all the way, it turned out to be something about demons.
But it's normal, for a person who has never seen a monster, he really has no idea about these things.
After thinking for a while, Song Zhishu looked at Chen Jingyun, and said slowly: "Since Mr. Chen has a request, and I really want to see monsters, if I accept the mission at that time, I will go with Mr. Chen."
His current strength is not very strong, but he is really interested in the demon Song Zhishu, and he wanted to take over the task of Wanshi Pavilion before, but he just couldn't find time.
And Song Zhishu has also heard that the demon incident is under control, and the mission issued by Wanshi Pavilion will not be too dangerous.
So this time is also an opportunity to practice.
Now someone invites someone, or someone I know, so naturally I readily accept it.
"Thank you Mr. Song."
Hearing these words, Chen Jingyun was overjoyed and quickly bowed again.
"Mr. Chen is really polite." It's not a big deal for Song Zhishu to return the gift, and he also has intentions, just pushing the boat along the way.
Immediately, the two chatted for a while, but most of them were Chen Jingyun's admiration for Song Zhishu.
After all, what happened today was indeed beyond his expectations.
Coupled with those previous experiences, Chen Jingyun admired the person in front of him more and more.
However, Qingzhou Academy still had some matters to deal with, so Chen Jingyun didn't stay any longer, and left soon after.
In the room, only Song Zhishu was left.
He stood in the room, not cultivating, but recalling the content of today's lecture, to see if there were any mistakes, and at the same time repeating his understanding of the way of a gentleman, until he finally understood everything before sitting cross-legged.
But just when Song Zhishu calmed down and was about to practice, he suddenly discovered that the Confucian righteousness in his body had changed.
It seems to be caused by today's lecture.
(End of this chapter)
Cheng Hong's face was solemn, and there was a hint of pleading in his words.
Chen Jingyun beside him also turned his head, his eyes were earnest, as if he hoped that the request would be fulfilled.
The intention and attitude of the teacher and the student made Song Zhishu stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what was going on, so he had to return the courtesy and say: "Mr. , as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
He didn't agree directly, because he really didn't know what the two of them were asking for.
At the same time, I was also wondering, what can I do in Qingzhou City?
A dean of an academy, and a gentleman, even the Qingzhou city lord has to treat each other with courtesy, and his status is very high. There is no way to do anything in the city. If the other party can't do it, it is useless to find him.
Even if the other party knows his origin, that's all, and Song Zhishu understands that he has no strength and no identity now.
It must not be an easy thing to make Cheng Hong, a teacher and a student, like this, so the words only say that you can do it and try your best.
If it can't be done, then it's another matter.
"Mr. Song can definitely do it."
Cheng Hong smiled, and then took a deep breath: "After knowing that Mr. Song came to Qingzhou City, all the gentlemen in the academy and I were very happy. Finally, we unanimously decided that we hope that Mr. Song can give lectures at my Qingzhou Academy."
"Of course it's good to just teach one class. Don't dare to ask for anything else. At the same time, Qingzhou Academy will also give corresponding rewards. I will definitely not make Mr. Song work for nothing. But if Mr. Song is interested, come to my Qingzhou Academy. Mr. Dang, we are also very welcome."
Song Zhishu is a Confucian scholar, and many scholars in the world now know that it may be a little bit reluctant to be a teacher in other places.
But it is completely different in Qingzhou Academy, even Chen Jingyun is qualified, let alone Song Zhishu.
But this is just an idea in Cheng Hong's mind.
The other party was a person who was valued by the Great Zhou Wengong. Qingzhou Academy obviously couldn't tolerate this giant Buddha, and Cheng Hong also knew himself.
"Go to Qingzhou Academy to give lectures?"
Hearing this, Song Zhishu couldn't help being taken aback again. He had thought that the other party's visit might be for the sake of Confucianism, but he didn't expect it to be a lecture. Not to mention how high he is in the realm of Confucianism, but at least he is a long-established scholar.
Otherwise, if you don’t say whether you can explain something, even if you can, can you convince the public?Ordinary scholars certainly can't do it.
Song Zhishu didn't expect that the dean of Qingzhou Academy would think of him so highly.
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhi smiled in his writing, and couldn't help saying: "Mr. Cheng is joking, I am only in the realm of Confucianism, and I have only entered the door of Confucianism not long ago, and my own understanding is still superficial. .”
This is a polite refusal, because he also thinks that he is not suitable for giving lectures for the time being. Even if he has a reason in his heart, lectures are very important. If it is not right, it will be a misleading student. Not every scholar is suitable to be a teacher or a teacher. .
At the same time, Song Zhishu also felt that he was not ready yet, and even if he wanted to talk about it, he had to wait until a later date.
"Mr. Song is really humble."
Cheng Hong also seemed to see Song Zhishu's worries, and immediately said: "Mr. Song recited the way of the university, which aroused the sound of heaven and earth, and lowered his literary spirit. The sage's lectures are nothing more than that. If you are not even qualified to give lectures, the world will not be able to do so." There are several scholars who are qualified, so I implore Mr. Song to agree."
Arousing the voice of heaven and earth, and lowering the spirit of writing, there are only two situations that can occur. One is that the sage preaches, and the heaven and earth feel it.
The second is that some people realize the true principles of Confucianism and prove themselves, and when the two become one, they will also appear.
And no matter which one, in the eyes of Confucian scholars, it is all great.
Cheng Hong has also seen the way of the university and realized it, but he didn't really understand it, but Song Zhishu was different, he understood it, and he did it accordingly. He wanted to let the other party go to Qingzhou Academy to talk about some principles in the university. It's definitely a blessing.
In fact, Cheng Hong can guarantee that not only Qingzhou Academy, but any academy in the world will not miss this opportunity.
"This..." Song Zhishu didn't speak directly. If he just talked about some principles in the university, then it would be fine.
It's just that I still have some worries in my heart, after all, I haven't done this kind of thing before.
Once he lectures, those who listen to him can be said to be his students.
It even affects some people.
Before you are fully prepared, you really have to be cautious.
"Mr. Song, if you agree to give lectures, Qingzhou Academy can use one hundred thousand spirit stones as a reward. As for your concerns, you don't need to take it to heart. You also know that recently, the academy has recruited a large number of students. I have never been exposed to Confucianism, so the purpose of this lecture is for enlightenment, you can rest assured."
Cheng Hong saw that Song Zhishu had concerns in his heart, so he directly spoke about the reward for this lecture, and the other thing was to call him enlightenment.
Confucian enlightenment is very important, but it is much simpler than explaining some Confucian principles in depth.
The reason is very simple, that is, most of the people who listened to the school did not enter the country.
You only need to talk about some simple truths to let students know what Confucianism is.
In fact, Cheng Hong can do this kind of thing by himself, but he doesn't want to let go of this opportunity. Song Zhishu's Confucian talent, and his understanding of the way of the university, and more importantly, this is the first time the other party has given a lecture. In any case, Qingzhou Academy is not at a loss.
Therefore, he made up his mind early in the morning, and then Qingzhou came to visit, which was of great significance.
Song Zhishu pondered for a while after hearing Cheng Hong's explanation.
What the other party said was really good.
And it is not difficult to enlighten students who have not had much contact with Confucianism.
Another point is that the reward for this lecture is [-] spirit stones. It is obvious that he has planned it. He knows that he is a dual cultivation of Taoism and Confucianism. Spirit stones are very important, and [-] spirit stones is not a small amount.
I can agree to the trip to Qingzhou Academy to give lectures.
But Song Zhishu didn't speak directly, and said directly after contemplation: "It's not impossible for the master to ask me to give lectures at Qingzhou Academy, but there is one condition, if the master agrees, I can make preparations today."
"Mr. Song, but it's okay to say." Hearing this, Cheng Hong was overjoyed.
As for Song Zhishu's initiative to ask for conditions, he didn't think there was anything wrong.
After all, I am asking for something from others, and it is still taking advantage of it. It is human nature for others to ask for conditions.
As long as it can be done, Cheng Hong thinks there is no problem at all.
"For this lecture, I hope that Qingzhou Academy can open the door of convenience. Anyone in the city who is interested can attend the lecture without setting any requirements." Song Zhishu said slowly, stating the conditions.
Now that monsters appear, everyone in the city is in danger. If you want to contact Confucianism, although it is temporary, it is better than doing nothing.
Song Zhishu knew from Lin Cheng and others that there were not many people who could enter Qingzhou Academy, and the number of places was limited.
I'm not from Qingzhou Academy, so I can't do much, but if it's lectures, I can decide for myself who can listen. Maybe it won't attract many people, and it won't help many people, but since I can do it, why not do it? ?
Let more monks get in touch with Confucianism, not to mention cultivating a few real scholars in the future, but at least it can make a modest contribution.
Now no one knows when this monster incident will end, and the power of Confucianism is the only way to deal with monsters.
What Song Zhishu thought was also very simple, even if he could only open the way of Confucianism for one person, that would be good. As for the others, he didn't think about it, he just felt that doing so was within his power.
After all, when he went to the Wanshi Pavilion today, so many casual cultivators were blocked, he was also touched, and he did as much as he could.
"This"
Cheng Hong was silent for a while when he heard this, and replied directly: "Qingzhou Academy can agree."
He actually guessed Song Zhishu's purpose in his heart, but he didn't really understand it in his heart, because some people really don't have the talent to practice Confucianism, even if they talk about it, they may not understand the truth.
Of course, this does not mean that Cheng Hong does not approve of it, because this move is done by a gentleman, and he admires it in his heart.
As for why Qingzhou Academy didn't do this, one reason is that it lacks energy, and the other reason is that it is very troublesome.
But if it's just a lecture, it's okay.
"In this way, the students will have no problem."
Seeing that the other party agreed, Song Zhishu smiled, stood up and bowed slightly.
"Okay, Mr. Song, please prepare for three days. After three days, Jing Yun will come to welcome you to Qingzhou Academy." Cheng Hong said immediately, he was naturally very happy that he could achieve his goal, and at the same time gave three days of preparation time.
Just in these three days, I can also spread the lectures and attract more monks to pay attention.
Immediately, Cheng Hong, Chen Jingyun, teachers and students, bowed slightly to Song Zhishu and said goodbye.
After all, the matter has already been said, so it is not good to go on.
Song Zhishu sent the two of them outside the door, and waited for them to leave before closing the door and sitting cross-legged.
"Confucian lectures should not be perfunctory, especially for enlightenment, you must be cautious, so what you talk about is very important." Song Zhishu sat cross-legged on the bed and said to himself, with a somewhat solemn expression.
But in fact, before agreeing to Mr. Cheng Hong, he had already thought about what to say, but there were some things that needed to be improved.
And this kind of thing can't be rushed, besides there are still three days, you can take it slowly.
So Song Zhishu took out Baoyu and Lingbi again.
"Top-grade spiritual-grade gems, engraved with two kinds of divine characters, there will definitely be no problem with my current Yuanshen, but I don't know how much time it will take." Song Zhishu thought for a while, adjusted his state, and then took a deep breath, holding it in his hand. Spirit pen.
Three Thousand Divine Inscriptions are different from ordinary Immortal Inscriptions, they are somewhat complicated and more similar to hieroglyphs, so you need to concentrate when inscribing them.
Song Zhishu controlled it with a powerful primordial spirit, injected it with his own strong mana, and was careful in the process.
In this way, time passed bit by bit.
I don't know how long ago.
With Baoyu trembling for a while, two blurred characters appeared, submerged into the treasure jade, and finally a simple aura slowly appeared, and the treasure jade in front of him became extremely dazzling, as if there was a round of big sun engraved on it.
"It's done."
Song Zhishu's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he held Baoyu.
I can only feel one of the fiery breaths coming continuously, which is a little hot to the touch, gestating a fiery force.
The words 'Zhi' and 'Yang' represent the purest power of pure Yang. Song Zhishu understands that this power is absolutely second only to Confucian righteousness in restraining demons, and it is the best way for ordinary monks to deal with demons.
If you add the awe-inspiring righteousness in your body, the power will be multiplied.
"That's right. If this gem is sold, I'm afraid the price will be much higher than ordinary high-grade spiritual-grade gems, especially in Qingzhou City."
Song Zhishu understands that almost ninety-nine percent of the monks in the city are in danger because of the appearance of monsters, and hope to have powerful means, so the value of the gem in his hand is very high, but he does not intend to sell it, after all, he also needs it. .
What's more, it took him nearly two days to inscribe such a precious jade, even if he engraved it day and night, he still couldn't make much.
Unless one's primordial spirit can be improved again, reaching the late stage of alchemy or stronger, it will be easier.
"There is no problem with Baoyu, and the choice of divine text is just right, so it will be fine."
Song Zhishu put Baoyu away, then raised his head and said to himself: "The next thing is to prepare to go to Qingzhou Academy to give lectures."
As he said that, he cleaned up the table, took out the books he had brought from Taihao Sword Sect, and began to read slowly. At the same time as he settled the content of the lecture, he understood it again and confirmed that there were no problems in it.
Soon, the three-day period arrived.
In the past few days, various news have spread in the city.
Most of them were related to demons. The City Lord's Mansion said that they had found traces of Tiansheng believers, and took advantage of the momentum to kill a group of people and some weak demons. This news reduced the panic in the city a lot.
But in the same way, the city lord's mansion is still under martial law, claiming that the demons have not been eliminated, and there are already signs of chaos.
Therefore, Wanshi Pavilion released more related tasks than before, and the rewards were once again increased.
But apart from that, there is another piece of news that has attracted the attention of the monks in the city, especially casual monks. That is, Qingzhou Academy said that a gentleman was invited to give lectures. There is no threshold for the enlightenment of Confucianism, but anyone who is interested can go there Listen to learn.
This made countless casual cultivators in the city a little unbelievable. Before Qingzhou Academy said it would no longer recruit people, many people failed to enter.
Even if there are quotas, most of them are divided up by the children of many forces in the city, and the casual cultivators have opinions on this.
If it is said that the establishment assessment has not passed, then it is fine, but now it is going through the back door openly.
How can some casual cultivators who have no powerful background not be angry?
But what about anger?
This is the case everywhere in the world today.
But now a gentleman was suddenly invited to give a lecture, which was beyond their expectations, and it was still an enlightenment.
Some people felt that Qingzhou Academy was upset, and in order to calm their grievances, they randomly asked a so-called gentleman to give lectures, expressing that they were not interested.
However, there are some monks who believe that the demon incident is getting more and more serious, and there are still Tiansheng believers who appear from time to time. If they have the opportunity to contact Confucianism, even if they cannot cultivate Confucian righteousness in the end, at least it will be psychological comfort, so they decided to take a look.
Yunlingzhai, in a guest room.
Song Zhishu sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, but he did not meditate.
In front of him was a book of Confucian classics. At this moment, he was digesting and understanding, and was making final preparations.
After a while, Song Zhishu opened his eyes and put away everything.
Because it's almost time for the appointment.
"Song Daoyou."
And at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was Lin Cheng and the others.
Song Zhishu got up, opened the door, and looked at the few people in front of him. Although they had only seen each other for a few days, the aura of the three of them was stronger than before. Obviously, they did not waste their time. They worked hard to practice, and the appearance of the monster gave them a sense of urgency.
Without saying anything, Song Zhishu was about to invite a few people in.
"Song Daoyou, we won't go in today."
Lin Cheng smiled, and his tone was a little excited: "Have you heard? Qingzhou Academy has invited a gentleman to give a lecture about the enlightenment of Confucianism, and it will start soon. It is said that anyone can listen to it without giving up restrictions. The three of us plan to Go and see if there is any gain."
"Yeah, not to mention whether we can cultivate Confucian righteousness, but it's also good to have more contact. Would you like to join me, Fellow Daoist Song?" Wang Chong also asked.
"Song Daoyou is a true scholar of Confucianism. He doesn't need any enlightenment. Besides, the gentleman hired by Qingzhou Academy, I don't think he can compare to Song Daoyou, maybe he is better than Mr. Chen." Li Xiansong shook his head with a smile, thinking that Qingzhou Academy did this. Certainly not really invite some powerful Confucian scholars to come, just wait for others to go, after all, I have never been in contact with Confucianism or Taoism.
But Song Zhishu and the others knew that true Confucian scholars had extraordinary talents, and it was said that great Confucians valued them very much.
Qingzhou Academy is indeed good in the eyes of several people, but it is only an academy in a small place.
I am afraid that the gentlemen invited are only aimed at those who have never been enlightened.
"Oh?"
"So I am such a person in the eyes of the three fellow Taoists?"
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded, which shocked Li Xiansong and others. They turned their heads involuntarily and found Chen Jingyun standing not far away with a smile.
For a moment, the three of them lowered their heads, a little at a loss, especially Li Xiansong, who wanted to slap himself a few times.
When is it bad to say it, why should you say bad things about Mr. Chen at this time.
Song Zhishu shook his head and smiled, but did not speak.
He knew that with Chen Jingyun's personality, he would not take these things to heart, after all, there was no malice.
Sure enough, after Chen Jingyun finished speaking, he walked forward slowly, just looked at Lin Cheng and the others with a smile, then turned his head to look at Song Zhishu, bowed slightly, and said in a respectful tone: "Mr. Song, everything is ready, My teacher sent me to invite Mr. Song to the academy to give lectures."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Cheng and the others were taken aback for a moment, and then Qiqi looked at Song Zhishu with shock in their eyes.
"Could it be that the gentleman invited by Qingzhou Academy is you Song Daoyou?"
Can't blame them for being shocked.
Because several people really did not expect that Qingzhou Academy would actually do this.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems normal. With Song Daoyou's ability, he is indeed qualified.
"Of course, the three fellow Taoists, you have to thank Mr. Song. It is he who proposed that there is no threshold for this lecture, and anyone who is interested can come." Chen Jingyun couldn't help being a little amused seeing the shocked expressions of several people.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, without further ado, let's go."
Song Zhishu didn't worry too much about this place, he just wanted to start and finish as soon as possible.
"Okay, please, Mr. Song."
Chen Jingyun didn't talk nonsense, and led everyone out of the inn to Qingzhou Academy.
Qingzhou Academy is very large, and there are dozens of teachers, who are basically in the realm of knowing and doing and knowing the sage, but they and the dean Cheng Hong will not participate in this lecture, they just made preparations, and the lecture place is in The Academy Square, where the place is very large, can accommodate thousands of people to study.
At the same time, in order to meet Song Zhishu's requirements, Qingzhou Academy will not close its doors today, and anyone who comes can go to the square.
According to the estimate of the academy, besides those students, there will be more than a thousand casual practitioners who will come to give lectures today, because the academy just said that it invited a gentleman to give a lecture, but did not say who it was.
This was the situation introduced by Chen Jingyun on the road, so Song Zhishu knew it well.
Song Zhishu also expected this. After all, he is not a famous scholar, and Qingzhou Academy has not revealed his identity. It is not bad to have a thousand people. If it is Gu Yun Daru, I am afraid that all the monks in the city will go, but that As a result, the academy can't hold it.
Not long after, everyone walked into Qingzhou Academy. Inside there were pavilions, bamboo groves and lotus ponds. The decoration was not luxurious, but it met the appetite of scholars.
And after walking to the academy square, I saw many people sitting in the square, besides the students of the academy, there were also some casual practitioners.
These people were densely packed and their voices were noisy, as if they were all talking about the gentleman who was lecturing today.
In the middle is a high platform, which is the place for Mr. to give lectures.
Lin Cheng and the others found a place to sit down.
Song Zhishu was waiting on the sidelines.
After checking the time was almost up, Chen Jingyun went directly to the high platform, looked at the crowd, and exercised Confucian righteousness: "Everyone, be quiet, the time has come. Today, I will give a lecture at Qingzhou Academy. Everyone who comes can listen. Stand up, please, Mr. Lecturer."
After speaking, he bowed slightly in the direction where Song Zhishu was.
Below, a group of students and monks listening to the lecture also stood up one by one, with curiosity in their eyes.
"This gentleman seems a little young."
"Yeah, Qingzhou Academy, is it just a matter of dealing with it casually?"
"Whether he should deal with it or not, it's good enough for casual practitioners like us to come in and listen to learn."
Looking at Song Zhishu, some monks whispered, thinking that Song Zhishu is a bit like a scholar, but he is very young, so he couldn't help hesitating for a while.
Facing thousands of gazes, Song Zhishu's expression was calm. The scene in the Law Enforcement Hall back then was much bigger than this. He didn't feel any psychological pressure at all, and just slowly walked up to the high platform.
"The Zhishu of the Song Dynasty is today's lecturer, and what I want to talk about today is the way of a gentleman."
Song Zhishu looked at the crowd, without any nonsense, directly stated the content of today's lecture.
This is what he has considered carefully, and Confucianism values the gentleman most.
Most of the people present are people who have not had much contact with Confucianism and Taoism. Starting from the way of a gentleman, let them initially understand what a gentleman is. This is the enlightenment content that Song Zhishu gave to everyone.
"May I ask you, sir, what is the way of a gentleman?" Below, a person stood up, young and fat.
It doesn't look like someone from Qingzhou Academy, but a casual cultivator, with a desire for knowledge in his eyes.
"Good question."
Seeing this, Song Zhishu pressed his hand and signaled the other party to sit down, then looked at the crowd, and after a moment of contemplation, he said directly: "A gentleman is virtuous, starting from the interests of everyone, a gentleman is virtuous, and spreading virtues to the world with a positive attitude. A gentleman treats everything with a fair heart, a gentleman is magnanimous, and does not need to avoid any suspicious eyes, a gentleman is moderate, impartial, and a gentleman keeps a respect in his heart."
Song Zhishu opened his mouth, not hiding the slightest bit of the way of a gentleman he understood, and telling everyone openly.
At the same time, explain in simple terms, and tell everyone what is the way of a gentleman.
He didn't quote the classics, and he said it very clearly, even an ordinary person can understand it.
And in the process of explaining, I am also constantly understanding and comprehending. Lectures are not all for others, but also for myself, so as to further understand the way of a gentleman.
Unknowingly, Song Zhishu sank into it, and righteousness surged in his body, lingering in his chest.
The students below were all attracted, and they couldn't help nodding when they heard the words of the gentleman's way.
And at this time, an inexplicable aura emerged from some students.
That is when they began to understand in the process of listening to the way of a gentleman.
That is the so-called enlightenment.
As time went by, more and more of these auras gradually surfaced over the entire square, emitting wisps of glow.
But it was also in the process of Song Zhishu's lecture.
In a courtyard of Qingzhou Academy.
Dean Cheng Hong sat down with all the students of the academy and chatted with each other.
The reason why they didn't go to the lectures was very simple. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that every scholar had his own way. Besides, this time was just an enlightenment, and it didn't matter whether he listened or not.
"teacher."
At this time, Chen Jingyun came over and bowed slightly: "Teacher, what Mr. Song is talking about today is the way of a gentleman."
"The way of a gentleman?" Hearing this, Cheng Hong nodded: "Confucianism cultivates the mind and becomes a gentleman. Mr. Song's enlightenment content is well selected."
The way of a gentleman is the most important thing in Confucianism, and it is also what scholars pursue all their lives. Therefore, what Song Zhishu said is indeed very suitable for students and casual practitioners who have never been in contact with Confucianism.
"This Mr. Song has realized the way of the university, and it is reasonable to talk about the way of a gentleman." A gentleman from Qingzhou Academy spoke up, agreeing with what Cheng Hong said.
"Huh? No, why do I feel Confucian righteousness?"
Suddenly, a gentleman from the academy opened his mouth. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the academy square, and immediately showed a look of astonishment: "Dean, gentlemen, where are you looking?"
When everyone heard the words, they cast their gazes one after another, and then all of them couldn't help but widen their eyes.
I saw strands of Confucian righteousness emerging in that direction at the moment. Although they didn't see much of it, they were very pure.
"This"
Seeing this scene, Dean Cheng Hong couldn't help asking: "Could it be that Mr. Song's first lecture can enlighten people?"
He was shocked, because the current situation is that the appearance of those Confucian righteousness just means that some students are enlightening, and they are obviously beginning to understand the way of a gentleman that Song Zhishu will teach, even if they only understand a small part, it is enough.
After all, they are all people who have not had much contact with Confucianism and Taoism.
"how is this possible?"
A gentleman couldn't believe it: "It's not easy to lead people to enlightenment and embark on the road of Confucianism. Even talented people need to study day and night. Now there are students and casual practitioners in the square, and their talents are uneven. How did Mr. Song do this?" Arrived?"
Others didn't understand, because it was too exaggerated. How could it enlighten people in the first lecture?
And it seems that there are quite a few enlightened people in the square, close to a hundred.
"Mr. Song is a person valued by the Great Zhou Wen Palace. He is extremely talented. When he recited the Dao of the University at the beginning, it caused a vision of heaven and earth. There is a gentleman's way in the University. The content of his lectures is what he is best at. It is his own understanding. Li, so this kind of thing can only be done by Mr. Song."
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Hong expressed his own understanding, because the person who can arouse the voice of heaven and earth is because of thorough enlightenment.
Let such a person tell a truth that he is best at, which is directly better than precepts and deeds.
Even if the students and monks in the square have not had much contact with Confucianism, they can understand it as long as they have a little savvy. Of course, there is a more important point. It seems that they don't understand anything, but as long as they say it, they can accept it completely and won't reject it, which is why, the more Confucian scholars practice, the more difficult it is.
Because the more you know, the more you think. If you don't understand it, you can only get stuck in it.
But some people don't have this affliction, like those people in the square.
"It seems that the choice of Qingzhou Academy to invite Mr. Song to give lectures, I did not make a mistake." Seeing this, Cheng Hong was very pleased. This is why he must invite Song Zhishu to give lectures. Anyone can do it.
"Teacher, in this way, more and more people will come to listen to the lecture later."
At this moment, Chen Jingyun opened his mouth, looking at the light of the Confucian righteousness on the square, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
Such a vision will definitely attract more people's attention, and the casual cultivators entering the academy will definitely increase significantly.
"It's okay."
Cheng Hong didn't care, and was very happy in his heart, because in this way, as long as Qingzhou can survive the catastrophe of demons this time, the reputation of Qingzhou College will spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, so he continued to laugh: "Just say it once That's all, and Mr. Song asked, if anyone wants to come, let them come, and Jing Yun should also pay attention to maintaining order."
"Yes, teacher." Chen Jingyun nodded upon hearing this.
"correct."
At this moment, Cheng Hong seemed to have thought of something, and said again: "Recently, the demon incident has been brought under control, and all forces in the city are preparing to assist in order to curb the disaster of demons as soon as possible. We Qingzhou Academy must take action, so you wait If you have time, go to the Wanshi Pavilion to pick up a few demon missions, and then find a few helpers."
"Otherwise, City Lord Qiu will say that I, Qingzhou Academy, only know how to study and don't know how to contribute."
As the dean of Qingzhou Academy, he had to do his best when the calamity of demons appeared.
Not only because of the orders of the city lord, but also the responsibility of the scholars.
And his disciple Chen Jingyun, who cultivates both Taoism and Confucianism, can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in a short time, and also has the Confucianist Sacred Realm, so he is the best candidate for the academy.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Chen Jingyun was a little astonished.
He wasn't prepared to face the demon yet, but since the teacher spoke, he couldn't refuse, so he nodded immediately.
And on the other side.
Song Zhishu stood on the high platform in the square and said all the ways of a gentleman he understood.
At the same time, he also found that there were people below who had been enlightened and were gathering Confucian righteousness in their bodies. At the same time, as time went by, more and more people were in the square, probably attracted by the vision of Confucian righteousness.
But Song Zhishu didn't care and continued to give lectures.
About an hour later.
Song Zhishu stopped, and the righteousness of Confucianism surged in the sky above the square, continuously pouring into the bodies of the students and casual practitioners present.
But there are still some people who are not enlightened, still understanding, attracted by what he said, and thinking seriously.
However, I have finished my lecture this time, and I have said everything that should be said.
Only how many people benefited from it, Song Zhishu didn't know, and at the same time he didn't want to know, because he had already done what he should do, and he didn't pay attention to those people who came later.
It's not that I don't want to repeat it again, but that I missed it, that is, I missed it.
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhishu bowed slightly, without disturbing the people below who were enlightened and understanding, and slowly walked down the high platform.
"Mr. Song."
Chen Jingyun immediately greeted him, and bowed his hands directly: "You are really amazing. Let me do the math for you this lecture. Counting the people who were attracted later, the total number of people who attended the lecture was three thousand. There are at least a hundred people who have realized it."
Although he didn't fully listen to those gentlemen's ways, but looking at the enlightened people in the square, after they had already surpassed a hundred, he only had admiration for Song Zhishu in his heart. He was only one level higher than himself, but he was able to do so.
I have been a teacher for some years, but the scholars who help enlightenment are not as many as the Mr. Song in front of me.
"3000 people?"
Hearing this, Song Zhishu was taken aback, and suddenly felt that this number was interesting.
Dacheng's most holy teacher, Confucius, is rumored to have three thousand disciples.
Could it be a coincidence?
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhishu smiled, but he didn't take it seriously: "Since the lecture has been completed, I'll go back first."
"Then I'll take you back."
Chen Jingyun spoke immediately, and now he still admires Song Zhishu so much.
YouQi was also a little annoyed, why did he listen to the other party's lecture on the way of a gentleman, even if he couldn't go further, he could still gain a lot of benefits, it's a pity that he missed it.
Therefore, he thought that he should draw in a good relationship with this Mr. Song.
Maybe.
You can also ask the other party to help with the tasks assigned by the teacher.
Chen Jingyun suddenly thought, after all, he was very clear about Song Zhishu's strength, but he didn't speak directly, so he had to think about how to word it first.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Song Zhishu didn't know what the other party was thinking, he just nodded in return, and then left the academy under the leadership of Chen Jingyun.
As for Lin Cheng and others still staying in the square, they were also attracted by the way of a gentleman, and they realized it carefully. If they can understand it, it is not difficult to cultivate Confucian righteousness.
On the way, Song Zhishu also saw people rushing to Qingzhou Academy, and they seemed to be attracted by the vision of Confucian righteousness.
It's a pity that it's too late to go now.
About half an hour later, the two returned to Yunlingzhai.
"Thank you for sending me off, Mr. Chen. It's been a hard journey." Song Zhishu said, and at the same time invited the other party to come in for a rest.
"Then Mr. Song, I will not be polite." Hearing this, Chen Jingyun, who was struggling all the way on how to speak, his eyes lit up, and he walked into the room after cupping his hands.
He has never seen a monster before, so he doesn't know how strong it is. Although he has both Taoism and Confucianism, he is not very sure. If Song Zhishu joins, it will undoubtedly be much better.
However, Chen Jingyun did not mention it directly, but said: "Mr. Song, Qingzhou Academy will send you the Lingshi within three days for your lecture, as a token of gratitude. Please wait patiently."
"It's okay, there's no rush."
Song Zhishu poured a cup of tea for the other party, saying that there is no need to worry.
There are indeed a lot of [-] spirit stones, but it is obviously nothing to Qingzhou Academy, and it is impossible to lose credibility because of this.
Immediately, he looked at Chen Jingyun, and after a little thought, he asked: "I saw that Mr. Chen had something on his mind along the way, so I'm afraid he has something to say to me?"
Song Zhishu also saw the other party's behavior along the way, there must be something, and it was related to him, but it seemed difficult to say it directly, now at the inn, seeing Chen Jingyun still talking about him, Song Zhishu had to ask directly.
"It really can't be hidden from Mr. Song."
After Chen Jingyun heard it, he felt a little embarrassed.
Secret Dao really didn't reach the level of self-cultivation, yet he was noticed.
But now that he has said it, he is not a man of contempt, so he took a deep breath and stood up at the same time: "Mr. Song, I do have something I would like you to help me with. My teacher has given me something to represent Qingzhou Academy accepts the task of Wanshige to deal with the demon incident, but I am afraid that my own strength is not good enough, and I am entrusted by my teacher, so I hope Mr. Song can go with me."
Speaking of this, Chen Jingyun felt that something was wrong, and immediately said again: "Of course, if Mr. Song doesn't want to, I won't force it."
After all, there is something to ask for, and you are still facing an unknown monster. It is impossible to ask others to agree, right?
This is not what readers should do.
"I see."
When Song Zhishu heard the words, he understood.
No wonder the latter behaved like that all the way, it turned out to be something about demons.
But it's normal, for a person who has never seen a monster, he really has no idea about these things.
After thinking for a while, Song Zhishu looked at Chen Jingyun, and said slowly: "Since Mr. Chen has a request, and I really want to see monsters, if I accept the mission at that time, I will go with Mr. Chen."
His current strength is not very strong, but he is really interested in the demon Song Zhishu, and he wanted to take over the task of Wanshi Pavilion before, but he just couldn't find time.
And Song Zhishu has also heard that the demon incident is under control, and the mission issued by Wanshi Pavilion will not be too dangerous.
So this time is also an opportunity to practice.
Now someone invites someone, or someone I know, so naturally I readily accept it.
"Thank you Mr. Song."
Hearing these words, Chen Jingyun was overjoyed and quickly bowed again.
"Mr. Chen is really polite." It's not a big deal for Song Zhishu to return the gift, and he also has intentions, just pushing the boat along the way.
Immediately, the two chatted for a while, but most of them were Chen Jingyun's admiration for Song Zhishu.
After all, what happened today was indeed beyond his expectations.
Coupled with those previous experiences, Chen Jingyun admired the person in front of him more and more.
However, Qingzhou Academy still had some matters to deal with, so Chen Jingyun didn't stay any longer, and left soon after.
In the room, only Song Zhishu was left.
He stood in the room, not cultivating, but recalling the content of today's lecture, to see if there were any mistakes, and at the same time repeating his understanding of the way of a gentleman, until he finally understood everything before sitting cross-legged.
But just when Song Zhishu calmed down and was about to practice, he suddenly discovered that the Confucian righteousness in his body had changed.
It seems to be caused by today's lecture.
