Chapter 218 The ghost screams in the middle of the night

Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations. The four sentences of Hengqu published by everyone in the Northern Song Dynasty have always been Zuoqiu's endless motivation for reading a lot of books and striving to make progress.

Ten years of hard work. As a young boy who was my classmate, he was in his prime and full of scholarly energy. He scolded Fang Qiu, pointed out the country, and inspired writing. At that time, tens of thousands of households were in the dust. Have you ever remembered that when you hit the water in the middle of the stream, the waves stopped the boat? There is no shortage of talent and intelligence. Supported by ideals and beliefs, what a high-spirited spirit.

Five years into politics. He was so ambitious that he held a sword and carried a lantern. He worked long hours and nights in the mountains and mountains. He drank wine and drank wine in the Wuyun Club. Everywhere he wrote, tall buildings rose from the ground. How exciting it was to people's hearts.

A talented man and a beautiful woman. In front of the flowers and under the moon, in the courtyard at dusk, we are anxious and anxious. When we wake up from the wine, we are worried about the past. It is an eternal night, with the bright moon and empty bed. The sound of the anvil is pounding, the sound of the crickets is thin, and the sound is long. That romantic scene lasted for ten years, If you say it's light, it'll be light. If you say it's gone, it'll be gone.

Abandoning politics and pursuing business, he engaged in intrigues, deceit and deceit, and ended up in a miserable state, completely ruining his original ideals.

From now on, the blue wisps of the road hide the spring breeze, and my reputation is buried deep in the west road. Have you forgotten it? You can't forget it. Have you let it go? It's just indulgence.

Love, if you have never been hurt by love, how can you know what love is?

Reading, if you have never been confused by a book, how dare you call yourself a scholar?

A mountain man doesn't understand the confusion involved, so naturally he can't see the fog that covers his eyes, but he has the heart in his fists.

Zuoqiu sat quietly at the computer desk, looking at the empty photo frame, muttering to himself, 'Reading is a double-edged sword. Before you hurt others, you hurt yourself first.'

"Bang bang bang", there was a knock on the door.

Zuoqiu took a deep breath, stood up, and opened the door. Lu Shanmin was looking at him with a silly smile on his face, holding a packed barbecue in his hand.

Zuoqiu smiled bitterly to himself. After reading for so many years, apart from learning the pretentiousness and stinginess of scholars, what else did he have left? He was not even as good as a mountain villager.

"sorry".

The two said in unison,

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Wow, this barbecue is so delicious," Zuo Qiu sat on a stool and wolfed down the food, not at all polite like a scholar.

"Wow, I have never had such delicious barbecue."

Lu Shanmin looked at Zuoqiu, his face covered with oil after eating, and giggled.

"I baked this".

Zuoqiu looked at the Lushan people in surprise, "You are like a treasure that can never be excavated, you are always surprising people."

"Haha, if you like to eat it, I can bake it for you when I have time."

Zuoqiu looked at the Lushan people with emotion and said with a greasy mouth, "I like it."

Looking at Zuoqiu's affectionate eyes, Lu Shanmin felt uncomfortable all over, "Uh, uh, I feel like this atmosphere is not right."

Zuoqiu looked at the Lushan people in bewilderment, "The atmosphere is so good, so cozy and warm. I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time."

Lu Shanmin awkwardly pointed at Zuoqiu and then at himself, "We are the same."

Zuoqiu's gaze rested on Lu Shanmin, "No, we are different. You are tall and mighty, you are strong and brave, and you make people feel warm and like home."

"Cough cough cough cough", Lu Shanmin moved to the side, "I, I mean we are all the same, we are all men."

Zuoqiu nodded, "I know," and after saying that, he started to devour the barbecue in his hand.

Lu Shanmin frowned and said, "You haven't eaten in the past two days, okay?"

Zuo Qiu had a piece of barbecue wrapped in his mouth, "You haven't cooked for me in the past two days, so I just ate instant noodles."

Lu Shanmin glanced at the books in Zuoqiu's room, and thought of the four sentences on the title page of "Zhuanxilu", "Establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations." Suddenly he felt a little inexplicable.

Sympathy for Zuoqiu.

"Zuoqiu, I finished reading "Zhuan Xilu" today."

"Um".

"Wang Yangming was born in a family of officials, and his father Wang Hua was a top scholar. What a distinguished family background."

"'The mountain is near and the moon is small when it is far away, so the mountain is as big as the moon. If a person has eyes as big as the sky, he can also see that the mountain is high and the moon is rounder.' What a genius it is to be able to write such a poem at the age of 11."

"When I was 12 years old, I took becoming a saint as the first priority in my life. How ambitious I was. When I was 15 years old, I tried riding a horse in Juyongguan. At the age of 17, I discussed Taoism in Tiezhu Palace. How elegant and unrestrained."

"I failed twice, but I didn't feel upset at all. I said frankly, 'You are ashamed of not getting the first place, and I am ashamed of not getting the first place but being upset about it.'"

"At the age of thirty, he barely managed to get a second-class Jinshi. He was still a young man in the officialdom and only did odd jobs in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment. Even though it was difficult to realize his ambition, he still shouted, 'How can there be evil charms that can confuse an honest man?'"

"He was imprisoned and sent to Longchang. His family thought he was dead, but that was where he really started."

"It took Longchang three years to realize Taoism. Once he had a sudden enlightenment, his mind became rational, he became a conscience, and his knowledge and actions were unified. The concept of mind learning is known to the world."

"Ganzhou suppressed the bandits, killed all the bandits in three provinces, raided Nanchang, defeated King Ning with the old and weak soldiers, and made an immortal contribution."

Zuoqiu chewed the barbecue quietly, his mouth full of bitterness.

Lu Shanmin smiled and said with a silly smile: "I'm not as smart as you, and I didn't read any great principles from this "Book of Biography", but I saw the optimism everywhere in Wang Yangming's words and deeds, no matter where he was.

In every situation, he is his truest self."

"When I used to hunt in the mountains, I would often lie down in the grass for hours in order to wait for the opportunity to catch prey. I think the same is true for doing things. Although people who want to do big things cannot lack ambition, they also have to wait for the opportunity."

Zuoqiu swallowed the roasted meat and laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. After reading books for so many years, how could he not understand these principles? But did he really understand them? This truth came from the mouth of a mountain villager.

, the loudness of his voice and the profoundness of his principles are mind-blowing. It turns out that there are some principles that cannot be explained by saints, but a villager in the mountains has twice the effect.

In the past, with the self-esteem of a scholar, he would have scolded Lu Shanmin for being ignorant. But now, at this moment, he discovered that after truly understanding the book, everything is reasonable and everyone is reasonable.

It’s not that scholars are arrogant, it’s that those who are arrogant are not scholars at all.

Zuoqiu laughed loudly. After reading for so many years, it turned out that now he could really be regarded as a scholar.

Zuoqiu's wanton laughter reverberated in the room unbridled, making Lu Shanmin's ears buzz. But he didn't think it was noise. Instead, he felt relieved. For the first time, Lu Shanmin decided that Zuoqiu's laughter was not obscene at all.

But it's so melodious.

"Bang bang bang", there was a heavy knock on the door, followed by Zhang Li's angry voice.
