Saint Immortal Way

Chapter 72 The Game of Chess

Huang Zongxi accepted the Peiyuan Zhengxin Pill, and after a few words of advice, Lu Yang stepped back.

Lu Yang turned back to Chunyang Residence, and his younger sister, Lu Jianjia, was sitting cross-legged on a futon with her five hearts upturned, her eyes slightly closed, her face solemn and serene, and she was looking at the divine court. A ray of inspiration shines through.

"It turns out that you have gathered your heart and stepped into the threshold of the holy way!" Lu Yang was greatly surprised, and couldn't help smiling slightly, in a good mood.

After a while, Lu Jianjia woke up from the divine photo, feeling that the whole world was much clearer, her mind was clear, she seemed to have become smarter, and she could remember many small things that she had forgotten before.

"Second brother, is this the beginning?" Lu Jianjia was both surprised and delighted.

"Well, write a few words and see!" Lu Yang pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, and Lu Jianjia quickly rubbed the ink stick, dipped it in enough ink, and wrote the word "Guang" on the white paper, with a faint spot on the tip of the pen. A faint stream of timeless air flowed out and mixed into the ink. The words on the paper exuded a faint aura, implying a faint spirituality, and this spirituality further enhanced the meaning of light.

"It's not bad...this is the spirit of eternity!" Lu Yang nodded, relieved in his heart, now his sister is finally going to step on the holy way, this is inseparable from his careful teaching during this period of time, so to speak , I can be regarded as having the potential to be a teacher.

Lu Jianjia's face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes were filled with tears, obviously she was very excited.

"The next time the academy starts, you can take the exam. Our old Lu family will eventually produce two scholars!" Lu Yang stroked Jian Jia's hair, feeling very happy.

"Second brother, I want to write a letter to tell my father and mother!" Lu Jianjia couldn't hide her excitement.This is indeed the case. In the Great Kuang Dynasty, the daughters of ordinary families were generally unable to read and write. In addition to wealthy families, there were also concepts that hindered girls from going to school. The Great Kuang Dynasty also had strict feudal ethics, and they also believed in women. No talent is virtue, but on the other hand, they admire women with talents.

"Young Master Lu is here. I have a letter. It's from Lu Qiu!" came the voice of his wife, Mrs. Wu, from outside Chunyang.

"Do you have a letter?" Lu Yang turned around and went out, and saw Mrs. Wu standing in front of the door with a messenger.

"You are Mr. Lu Yang, Mr. Lu, here is a letter, please print and accept it!" The messenger was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in coarse linen and wearing a messenger hat, and handed over a letter.

Lu Yang received the letter and saw that it was indeed for him, so he printed it with a stamped letter, opened the letter paper, and frowned slightly.

"Second brother, what's the matter? Is it a letter from my parents? Let me take a look!" Lu Jianjia grabbed the letterhead. The letter was obviously written by students from the county. Tian returned to Luqiu to participate in the annual ancestor worship.

"Why is it worshiping the ancestors again?" Lu Jianjia pouted, "Every year my father and second brother go to worship the ancestors, and every time they come back, they have a dark face. It must be that people in the clan don't want to see our family!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Yang immediately lowered his face.

"I'm not talking nonsense. My mother told me that people in the clan don't want to see my father, let alone look down on my father! It's because my mother is an outsider, and it's all because my father rebelled against the arrangement of the elders in the clan and didn't marry other women !” Lu Jianjia pouted.

Lu Yang opened his mouth wide and moved his lips. He didn't know what to say, thinking that his sister knew about it...

"Hmph, don't think that I don't know anything, I'm actually smart. This time, the news that the second brother entered the academy must have spread to the clan, and the fact that our family's household registration has been changed to a scholar's registration. I don't think anyone would dare Look down on us!"

"You don't need to worry about this matter, my dad and I naturally care about it!" Lu Yang waved his hand.

"Why can't I take care of it? The next time I take the college entrance exam, I'm going to enroll too, and I'll be able to shine in the family at that time. If the family knows that there are two scholars in our family, they won't be scared and stupid!"

"Okay, the matter of worshiping the ancestors is not your part, you can't control it even if you want!"

Let's talk about ancestor worship, it's really not a woman's business. Those who go to worship ancestors are all elders, and there are also a group of young people who have high hopes. When women go, they can only watch the fun outside.

"That can't be done. This time I will go back to worship the ancestors. My mother said that she and I will support my father!" Lu Jianjia turned around and ran to write a letter to his family. The letter said that he would support him during the ancestor worship.

Lu Yang was noncommittal. He used to study at home and didn't care about family affairs, but now he can't. As the saying goes, every family has difficult scriptures to recite, especially in the clan. The clan has difficult things and people.This time worshiping the ancestors, you will not be angry, and you shouldn't be angry. Instead, you will gain face for your family.

Two days later, Lu Yang sent "The Butterfly Lovers" and "The Legend of the White Snake" to Yuewei Study, and then brought dozens of "Collections of Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon" back to Chunyangju. Huang Zongxi sent Huang Daoyun to summon him narrative.

When they came to the study room of Bieju, Huang Zongxi motioned for Lu Yang to sit down.

"Chunyang, I don't have anything to say when you go back to worship your ancestors in a few days. Here is a pair of sapphire ruyis. You can take them back and make an offering in front of the ancestral temple to show your heart!" Huang Zongxi pointed to the pair on the desk. Yu Ruyi, who was carved with emerald green hibiscus in the pure white, gave a few words.

"Thank you, teacher!" Lu Yang was not pretentious, and took Ruyi. This pair of Ruyi is probably only available to the rich and powerful. Grandeur of righteousness and a few articles of the holy way, even if grandeur of righteousness is not infused, occasionally you can see the aura and words suspended and flowing on the surface of Ruyi.

"But is there anything unprepared?"

"there is none left!"

"Then do it first!"

After dismissing Lu Yang, Huang Zongxi went out, walked alone in the peach forest, and stopped in front of a big rock, because there were two Confucian scholars who were playing chess on the rock.

One is Ye Su, a great Confucian of the academy, and the other is Lu Cang, a great sage of landscape paintings. The latter has simple Confucian clothes with faint spiritual inscriptions on them.

The two were looking intently at the chessboard in front of them, a wonderful game of chess was being played on the chessboard.

"Brother Ye and Senior Lu are indeed here!" Huang Zongxi laughed, stepped forward and bowed lightly.

"There's nothing to do left and right, just to have some fun with Senior Lu!" Ye Su smiled.Lu Cang also nodded, and said with a smile: "Young friend Chunyang's game of Go is very mysterious. I don't know how he is doing recently. Why haven't I seen him come to play chess for so many days?"

"My student has a tight schedule, and he has to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors these few days. How can he have leisure time to play chess with me? If the senior is elegant, just ask the junior to play chess with Brother Ye!"

"That's not right... Little friend Chunyang is a rare genius. No matter how tight the schedule is, he can't beat him. I heard that his recent chapter novels are very popular?" Lu Cang raised his head slightly. With Lu Yang's help, he broke through in one fell swoop, and was promoted to two levels of Taoism. At this moment, he has not been able to pay back, because Lu Yang's Taoism cultivation is too low, so that Lu Cang does not know how to repay Lu Yang...

If you teach Lu Yang a few spells, the Dao karma is too low to be qualified, and if you give a few magic weapons, the Dao karma is too low and you will not be able to use them. If you insist on giving the magic weapons purified with timeless energy, as a master, He really didn't bother to show his hands, so he could only wait until Lu Yang's morality was higher, so that he could pay back.

Huang Zongxi also seemed to know that Lu Cang had been paying attention to his disciples all the time, feeling proud, he reached into his sleeve, took out two handwritten books, and handed them over.

"Hehe, I know you have a heart!" Lu Cang smiled, and took the books, one was "The Legend of the White Snake" and the other was "The Butterfly Lovers". I’ve seen it too, and Ben Hongru also likes the previous "The Legend of the Weaver Girl" and "The Romance of the West Chamber", this thing is more interesting than the story books on the market!"

Huang Zongxi smiled and said: "It's a bit interesting. Chapter-style novels are very popular now. I heard that every time a book is published, it will be sold in various states in Kyushu very quickly. The supply is almost in short supply. The favorites are those young people, all of whom have become idiots. Crazy... these two books were hand-copied and haven't been printed yet, so it's my honor to have a quick look at them!"

"I know, I know, isn't it just that I have taken in a good disciple? I guess your girl copied these two books, so you have the nerve to rush to read them?" Ye Su teased, and opened Liang Zhu to look.

Lu Cang couldn't wait any longer, he left the chess game to dry, and opened "Legend of the White Snake" to read.

After a long time, the two of them finished reading a novel in their hands, and Lu Cang said disappointedly: "I really dare to think about it and dare to write it. With such a plot, those young people probably like it very much. Hehe, what are you talking about? The more silent you are, the more curious and interested young people will be!"

Ye Su also sighed: "This "Blessings of Love" can be called a classic. It tells the story of a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman. The most provocative thing is that Zhu Yingtai disguised herself as a man and was not noticed by others...In the end, the two lovers turned into two. Butterfly away, the whole story has ups and downs, which is really touching!"

Lu Cang and Ye Su exchanged the novels in their hands, and until they finished reading both, the two felt as if they drank fine wine, very satisfied.

"This chapter-style novel is indeed a new genre. Princess Shouyang specially made a preface to advocate this genre. Presumably with the appeal of a royal princess who bestowed a palace, it will not be difficult for chapter-style novels to form a trend and spread! "Ye Su said with a lot of meaning.

"It has already begun to spread widely, and the further it goes, the greater its influence will be. I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Shouyang's reputation in Yujing City has risen again. The Holy Majesty is even more optimistic about this Princess!" Huang Zongxi nodded. .

"Little friend Chunyang has some luck. This is due to the luck of Her Royal Highness. It is a blockbuster, soaring to the sky... I heard that the reason why the little girl from Shouyang came to study in the barren state this time is that There are other intentions!" Lu Cang said leisurely, and glanced at Huang Zongxi and Ye Su.

The latter's expression changed slightly, and Huang Zongxi said solemnly: "Senior, could it be that the rumors are true, and today I really intend to use the sword to guide Huang?"

"Probably, I have worked hard for many years, and I always have some ambitions and regrets in my heart, but I don't think this matter can be accomplished without three or five years of brewing!" Lu Cang smiled freely.

Huang Zongxi nodded thoughtfully, understanding, no longer talking about state affairs, only talking about leisure.
