i turned into a monster

Chapter 44 Statue of Wensheng (Second update, thank you leader!)

After Bai Ze entered the Chongli Academy, the maids of the academy brought good tea and snacks.

Everyone exchanged greetings for a while, and a great scholar smiled and said: "Master Bai, according to the biography of Bai Ze, you are proficient in chess, and the younger generation has studied Go for many years, but I would like to ask you for advice. I wonder if you can teach me?"

Bai Ze was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head modestly: "It's overrated, actually I don't know much about Go."

It has been said that he has no brain, just a computing machine without emotion. He has a nickname - Alpha Dog.

"Hehe, Master Bai, why should you be modest? The sage Wen said that you are proficient in chess, so you will definitely not be indiscriminate. The junior is sincerely asking for advice, so I ask Master Bai to give you some advice." The great Confucianist said sincerely.

In fact, if the way of Go is not defeated for a long time, it is difficult to improve. Only after being defeated can you discover your own shortcomings and find new ideas for improvement.

Of course, no one likes to be beaten.

If you can always pretend to be aggressive and never be beaten to death, many people like to see it. The invincible loneliness is not called loneliness.

"Well, if that's the case, then I'll play two games with you." Bai Ze said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Bai! Please!" the great Confucian said excitedly, and sat down in front of the chessboard impatiently.

But soon, the smile on his face faded.

Then, his eyes became serious.

Then, his brows furrowed.

Then, bloodshot eyes appeared.

Then, he held a chess piece in his right hand and hung it over the chessboard. His fingers trembled, and even the wrinkles on his face trembled.

"I...I lost..."

In the end, he let out a long breath, his shoulders drooped, and he became listless.

"Hehe, actually I played recklessly, you don't have to take it seriously, your Go skills are still very high." Bai Ze said with a smile.

The corner of the Confucian's mouth twitched!
Countless thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind, and he seemed to have thought about the content of today's diary—he said he wrote it randomly, but he didn't write it randomly, this is clearly prepared!I was careless at the time and didn't flash... Come on, lie!Come on, sneak attack!I'm an 89-year-old pedant, okay?This is not good... Peace is the most important thing in the literary world, and culture and virtue must be emphasized...

"Hahaha, it's been said that Master Bai is a master of chess, and you insist on playing against him. You've been hit this time, haven't you?"

"Changlin, I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't be too inflated. Now you understand, your uncle will always be your uncle!"

"Hahaha, what you said is very true, what you said is very true."

The several Confucian scholars next to him laughed, but at the same time, they respected Bai Ze even more in their hearts - this legendary figure is indeed very knowledgeable!

It can be seen from Go alone.

The attainments of Go reflect a person's thinking activity to a certain extent, and even some life experiences. A small chessboard contains great wisdom.

They didn't know that the person in front of him could only play chess, and there was no such thing as profound knowledge.

After playing Go, several old men took Bai Ze to visit the scenery of Chongli Academy.Inside the school palace, there are many buildings, gardens, pavilions, pools, rockeries, everything, and the environment is quiet and elegant.

Along the way, many students saw a few high-status Confucian scholars in the academy surrounded by a white-haired man, accompanied like a junior, and they all showed shock, and quickly realized that this should be The legendary white master!

Immediately, many people cast reverent gazes.

Even the eyes of talented women are full of brilliance. They never imagined that the legendary Master Bai is so handsome and personable.From this point of view, monsters... are not impossible.

At noon, accompanied by several great scholars, Bai Ze had a meal in the dining hall of the academy, drank some wine, and got them down on the ground.

Then, Nie Changyun, the palace lord who was slightly drunk, took him to the most sacred hall in the academy—the Hall of Sages.

"It's here."

Nie Changyun said with a smile, then pushed open the door a little staggeringly, and walked in.

"Wow!"

As soon as he entered, Bai Ze felt a gust of cool air rushing towards his face, and his whole body felt comfortable, as if all the pores were breathing.

In the main hall, there is a clear air, and there is an invisible awe-inspiring righteousness rolling, like a pure white mist, majestic.

In the center of the hall is a two-meter-wide red carpet, extending from the entrance to the deepest part of the hall.

On both sides of the red carpet stood statues one after another, and each statue was surrounded by awe-inspiring aura, like clouds and mist.

At the end of the main hall, there is a step more than one meter high, and two huge statues stand on the step.

On the left is a white-haired old man holding bamboo slips.And the one on the right is a young woman in white clothes. That woman is beautiful, elegant and dignified, with a majestic and magnificent beauty in her gentleness!
With her left hand behind her back and a scroll in her right hand, she raised her head slightly, as if looking into the distance.

"Little girl..."

Bai Ze looked at the statue, and his nose suddenly became sore. The little girl who called him Grandpa Bai back then has now become a statue here, and there is only the statue left.

"Sister..."

Nie Changyun next to him also turned his head away, silently wiping away his tears.

This woman is the senior sister who taught him the teachings, the object of his admiration and pursuit, and even... the reason why he never married for the rest of his life.

She died for ten years, and he also missed her for ten years.

There are some longings that don't need to be told or can't be told to others, but they settle in the deepest part of my heart, always exuding a trace of coldness in the night when there is no one.

After a long time, Bai Ze asked: "Didn't she live to be 130 years old, why is the statue so young?"

Nie Changyun coughed twice, tilted his head and snickered, "Women, after all, love beauty, even saints are not exempt from vulgarity. I don't know what method my senior sister has used to keep her appearance in the most beautiful state, even before she dies." .”

Bai Ze nodded, and asked again: "Then why is it white? I remember she used to like to wear red."

Nie Changyun nodded, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "Senior sister did like to wear red clothes back then. When she came to Chongli Academy to ask questions, I was still young. At that time, she was dressed in red, defeating many long-established celebrities in various fields. A famous Confucianist, peerless and frivolous."

"Later, she was defeated by my former teacher Liu Canglan, so she became my senior sister."

"The former teacher once said that a scholar should be introverted, have arrogance in his heart, and be as gentle as jade. From then on, the senior sister changed into white clothes. Later, she became more modest and studious. She gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools and formed her own school. The master of the human race's literature and Taoism has also laid the foundation of the literary sage."

Bai Ze nodded and asked, "Which one is your mentor?"

"This is it."

Nie Changyun looked at a statue next to him. It was a tall old man wearing a loose black robe with white beard and hair.

These statues are all waxed and colored to look lifelike, exactly as they were when they were alive.

Bai Ze took a few steps forward and bowed in front of the tall old man's statue. In fact, he was older than the old man, and his seniority was also a generation higher, but he still made this big gift just to thank him.

Thank you for taking care of my little girl...

Nie Changyun smiled, bowed to the statue, and bowed to Bai Ze in return, as a return of respect for the former teacher.

He thought for a while and said, "Senior, my senior sister asked me to hand over the original manuscript of "Bai Ze Biography" to you. The manuscript will be enshrined in the side hall. Come with me."

After finishing speaking, he led Bai Ze to the side hall.
