Please don't force me to be a god.

The two chatted while practicing.

At this moment, Xu Wen came to the backyard with a scroll of book in his hand, shaking his head.

Seeing Zhang Tian, ​​he was surprised and asked, "Master, why are you here so early today?"

Zhang Tian deliberately said with a stern face, "I heard that you were slacking off in your studies, so I got up early to supervise you. Why are you here so late today?"

Tiedong glanced at one side.

The immortal just said that, he clearly got up to practice, how come he became a supervisor of his disciples in the blink of an eye?

With the immortal's getting-up time, he might not even know whether Xu Xiucai would come to the morning reading.

Xu Wen hurriedly said, "Master, at this time every day, I come to the backyard to read in the morning on time, and I am not lazy."

Zhang Tian said, "Tiedong came to practice martial arts before dawn, and you still say he is not lazy?"

"Uh..." Xu Wen explained, "Tiedong does not need light to practice martial arts. I need to be able to see the words on the book for morning reading."

"How about Master, give me a dragon ball? I promise to get up at three o'clock every morning to study."

"You wish. Study hard and don't have these crooked thoughts all day long." Zhang Tian scolded.

In fact, if necessary, Zhang Tian can make a solar lamp.

Even let the balloon satellite in the sky come to illuminate.

However, if it is just for lighting to study, there is no need for this.

It is also okay to light two more lamps. It is not that I can't afford them now.

Zhang Tian also doesn't want to consume too much material reserves and expose too many cards for these unnecessary uses.

"Okay, Master."

Seeing that his little tricks are useless, Xu Wen began to read aloud.

The ancients emphasized that a day's plan starts in the morning.

Therefore, many scholars have the habit of morning reading.

These concepts have always influenced the teaching model of primary and secondary schools in later generations.

It can not only activate the spirit of the whole day, but also absorb knowledge faster.

At this time, the brain is in an empty state after a night's rest, and it is easiest to remember.

Unfortunately, the students of later generations have a heavy burden, coupled with various entertainment activities, which greatly delays their sleep, resulting in insufficient sleep the next day, and morning reading becomes a burden.

As he read, Xu Wen's voice became smaller and smaller.

In the end, he simply stopped and began to imitate Zhang Tian's Tai Chi.

Zhang Tian said unhappily: "Study hard, why are you learning this?"

Xu Wen said: "The boxing style of the immortal master must be a good one! Although the disciple cannot use it, it is not right if I don't know my own boxing style."

Tie Dong on the side said: "Xu Xiucai, the immortal said that this boxing style is called Tai Chi. I just think this boxing style is exquisite, but unfortunately I can't learn it because of my defective body."

"Hiss..." Xu Wen took a breath, "This boxing style is actually called Tai Chi?!"

"The Book of Changes says: The Book of Changes has Tai Chi, which first gave birth to the two yin and yang, the two yin and yang gave birth to the four images, and the four images gave birth to the eight trigrams..."

"The name of Tai Chi is several levels higher than the eight trigrams."

Tie Dong was also shocked: "So powerful?"

In the eyes of Xu Wen, Tie Dong and others, people who are proficient in the eight trigrams are already Taoists.

Xu Wen said, "Of course. Above the Eight Diagrams, there are the Four Symbols, the Two Principles, and finally the Tai Chi. This 'Tai Chi' is simply too high to be higher."

"Zhuangzi also said: The Great Dao is above the Tai Chi, but it is not high."

"I am afraid that this boxing is related to the Great Dao."

Zhang Tian scolded, "You think about these useless things all day long. It would be strange if you passed the imperial examination."

"In this era, it is inconvenient for you to do anything without the status of a juren. Study hard for me."

Xu Wen said, "Master, I have said that my aptitude is dull, and I am afraid I can't expect to pass the imperial examination. When the list is announced, please don't be angry. When I am over 30, I will practice immortality with you..."

"You..." Zhang Tian was so angry that he couldn't speak.

If he was really an immortal, it would be fine, but unfortunately he was not.

If he passed on some Taoist Xiao Zhoutian Gong or Da Zhoutian Gong to Xu Wen, it would be good for the body, but it would not make him immortal.

Spending a lifetime on this, wasting life in vain.

Even the Taoist priest Chen of Wudang Mountain in later generations repeatedly warned young people: Believe in science.

Zhang Tian changed his mind and wanted to guide Xu Wen to study. It was not impossible. There was a way to try.

So he said: "Xu Wen, do you know the righteousness?"

Xu Wen said: "I know, it comes from the book "Mencius."

"Mencius said: I am good at nurturing my righteousness... It is the greatest and most rigid... It fills the space between heaven and earth..."

Zhang Tian smiled slightly. Although Xu Wen's thoughts were a little off, his basic skills in reading were still very solid, and he memorized everything he should memorize.

At least he has some talent. It would be a pity not to take the imperial examination while he is young.

So he started to read: "The heaven and earth have righteousness, which is mixed and flowing.""The lower part is the river and the mountain, the upper part is the sun and the stars."

"In people, it is called Haoran, which is so full that it fills the sky."

These lines of poetry are from Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness". They are grand in conception and awe-inspiring, and they echo Mencius's Haoran righteousness.

All scholars are infected by the artistic conception of the poems.

However, it was nearly two hundred years before Wen Tianxiang was born. The following lines of poetry were related to his experience and concept of life and death, so Zhang Tian did not read them.

Sure enough, Xu Wen was shocked after hearing it, and then again.

Zhang Tian made up for it in time, and said in a fairy-like manner: "Fool, have you realized it?"

I said to myself, hurry up and fill in the blanks yourself, don't let me waste my energy to talk nonsense with you.

Xu Wen was shocked again. After three shocks, he suddenly knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Master, I was wrong!"

"I have failed Master..."

"I thought Master wanted me to take the imperial examination to get rid of worldly desires. I didn't expect that Master had already hinted at it."

"All roads can lead to success, and studying is one of them. This is the road to enlightenment."

"Master has repeatedly hinted to me that the road to enlightenment is in books, in the great spirit, and in this world."

"It's a pity that I am stupid and have not been able to understand Master's deep meaning~~~"

"I still...still complain about Master's refusal to pass down the method of cultivating immortals, and I can't sleep at night."

"Master, I was wrong, I am ashamed~~~"

The last sentence was extremely sad, and the ending was long, almost singing out of coloratura.

Zhang Tian was very satisfied. He thought it was a good idea, but he said, "It's good to know that you are wrong."

"As the saying goes, you become a man if you go with the flow, and you become an immortal if you go against the flow. This imperial examination is a big hurdle in your life, and you need to work hard to overcome it."

"Yes, I understand!" Xu Wen knelt on the ground and answered respectfully.

Tiedong asked, "Xu Xiucai, what did you realize?"

Xu Wen said, "Reading can cultivate a righteous spirit and understand the truth of heaven and earth. Maybe in the end, I can fly like an immortal master."

At this time, Xu Wen remembered Zhuangzi's description of the real man, the supreme man, the god, and the saint, who could fly at any time.

Maybe he didn't read enough and didn't have a righteous spirit, so he couldn't fly.

Zhang Tian knew that Xu Wen had some wrong ideas.

But in this situation, he could only trick him into studying hard and passing the imperial examination.

Even if he indulged in the art of cultivating immortals for his whole life, at least he could settle down.

Anyway, he was not good at studying.

Before he met me, he had already filled his head with ghost stories.

It is estimated that it is very difficult for him to pass the imperial examination. Maybe he will be another "Pu Songling", addicted to ghost stories and spend the rest of his life.

Tiedong enviously said: "It's a pity that I can only write my own name, otherwise, I can cultivate the noble spirit like you, Xu Xiucai."
