Xianwu: Opening and Hua Xiaolan's Apprenticeship with Shaolin

"Furthermore, in Songyang Academy, there are all Confucian students, who pay attention to self-cultivation and self-cultivation. Fighting is prohibited, and it is still very safe inside."

Having said that, Grandma Hua was relieved a lot.

"Brother Zhou Yuan, are you going to Songyang Academy?" Hua Xiaolan wanted to seek Zhou Yuan's opinion.

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "It's rare that Lord Fu Yin is kind, so I'll go to the academy for a walk."

The inheritance of Shaolin martial arts has been almost learned by him.

Zhou Yuan just took this opportunity to learn about the inheritance of Confucianism,

In this river and lake, there are only four academies that can have the inheritance of Confucianism.

then,

Zhou Yuan and Hua Xiaolan went their separate ways.

Hua Xiaolan and the Shaolin monks went to Heiyan Forest in the northeast, and received the prince into Kaifeng.

Zhou Yuan went to Songyang Academy in the south.

Grandma Hua insisted on driving the carriage by herself and carrying Zhou Yuan there.

The journey is not too far, but we have to go over Taishi Mountain, so it took a morning to arrive at Songyang Academy in Dengfeng.

[Unlock a new scene: Songyang Academy, Jianghu experience +10]

The academy is located at the foot of Taishi Mountain, with beautiful scenery and a quiet environment, which is very suitable for scholars.

Because it is located in the south of Songshan Mountain and the south is Yang, it is called Songyang Academy.

There is a white jade archway at the door, with elegant fonts and four big characters:

The mountains stand up!

On both sides of the archway, there is a couplet written:

Near the four sides, but in the center, Tongtaihua Hengheng, Sisaiguan River Gongshenyue;

During the nine dynasties, for the city, Bao Yiluluojian, three winds and rains made high mountains.

Songyang Academy is very big, but there are not many scholars studying here!

Because the admission conditions are too harsh, the number of teachers and students in the academy is no more than [-].

"Are you a new scholar? You look so young!"

When the gatekeeper of Songshan Academy saw Zhou Yuan's temperament, he felt that he was extraordinary.

After all, the people who come and go here are all Confucian scholars and talents, so the gatekeeper has a lot of knowledge.

"This is a letter of recommendation from the governor of Kaifeng."

Zhou Yuan handed out the letter.

The gatekeeper took the letter and said, "You stay in the academy first, the chief of the mountain has been to Luoshui these days, not in the academy,

After the boss comes back and he has read the letter of recommendation, you will be officially admitted. "

Shan Chang, the top administrator of the academy, is equivalent to the dean.

Zhou Yuan nodded and stayed at Songyang Academy.

Grandma Hua returned to Huazhai Village.

After Zhou Yuan settled in, he wandered around the academy,

I found the library of the academy,

When I walked in, I heard a few Confucian scholars discussing something.

"Have you heard of the Battle of Luoshui?"

"Of course I heard that a scholar in green shirt slashed the number one master of the evil sect, the ancestor of the blood sword."

"It is said that this is my Confucian disciple. I don't know which academy it is from."

"It's definitely not our Songyang Academy. The mountain chief rushed to Luoshui yesterday to find out what happened."

"In the rivers and lakes, my Confucian disciples are regarded as weak scholars, and in the battle of Luoshui, I became famous in one battle!"

"It's too long for our Confucian Sect!"

Several young scholars in their twenties had a great time discussing,

In particular, I want to know, who is that scholar in green shirt?

"The battle of Luoshui seems to have started because of Jiangnan Shuimei. The ancestor of the blood knife robbed Shuimei and was intercepted and killed by the scholar in blue!"

"This is the story of a hero saving beauty! I don't know if the water beauty has promised herself."

"At that time, a merchant ship witnessed the battle. Perhaps in a few days, there will be a portrait of the scholar in blue shirts circulating."

What they were discussing was hot, and they happened to see Zhou Yuan and walked into the library.

look unfamiliar!Haven't seen it before!

"Little brother, are you a new student today?" the young scholar asked.

Zhou Yuan nodded, and after a few words of courtesy with these scholars, he began to read in the library.

Songyang Academy's library,

The abundance of books is no less than that of the Book Collection Pavilion in Shaolin Temple.

However, the main content is very different.

The Tibetan Sutra Pavilion in Shaolin Temple is naturally mostly Buddhist martial arts and Buddhist scriptures.

The library of Songyang Academy is mostly composed of four books and five classics.

Four Books: The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects, and Mencius;

The Five Classics: The Book of Songs, the Book of Books, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the library, various versions of the Four Books and Five Classics are collected.

Especially the ones that [Second Cheng] and [Zhu Zi] have been annotated are placed in key positions.

Zhou Yuan is not very interested in this.

In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics,

In this library, the classic books of [Hundred Schools of Masters] are compiled.

Taoism, Mohism, Yin-Yang family, farm family, famous family, Legal family...

　 　Basically it's all there!

So there are still many good books.

[Reading in the library of Songyang Academy, +1 for Jianghu experience]

[Reading in the library of Songyang Academy, +1 for Jianghu experience]

……

Zhou Yuan was reading here for the first time, so his experience in Jianghu increased rapidly, basically every half an hour, it would increase by 1 point.

From noon to evening, and from evening to morning...

People in the library, walk around,

Only Zhou Yuan was always attentive and read the book one day and one night!

He is comprehending, what is the inheritance of Confucianism?

Among the three religions, Buddhism focuses on refining the body and qi.

Daomen is dominated by spirit and spirit,

And Confucianism does not seem to emphasize body refinement, but [self-cultivation and self-cultivation],

So how do you get fit?

Two words, read!

There is power in words!

I read a lot, and I have hills and valleys in my chest, giving birth to a sense of grandeur!

"Congratulations for your extensive reading and understanding of the Confucian [Haoran Righteousness Art]!"

"Haoran Righteousness Art, get started!"

Zhou Yuan understood,

Buddhism and Taoism, the inheritance is not written down, but passed down by word of mouth,

And Confucianism is just the opposite. Inheritance is not handed down orally, but handed down in writing!

There is great power in words!

The existence of civilization is based on words.

There is an old saying:

[Cangjie made characters, rained millet in the sky, ghosts cried at night]

This is the power of words, which contains good fortune.

Therefore, the cultivation method of Confucianism is four words, reading and nourishing qi!

of course,

This also requires strong roots and understanding.

It does not mean that anyone who reads books can perceive the power of words.

Without tranquility, there is no way to go far, and without indifference, there is no clear ambition.

Self-cultivation, self-cultivation and knowledge!

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the three religions, all speak a word of "quiet"!

And Zhou Yuan, at any time, can achieve meditation, tranquility, and a high level of comprehension, fully satisfying this condition.

So in one day and one night, in the library, he realized the great righteousness art of getting started.
