After listening to the storyteller, the old gentleman continued walking through the town.
Not long after, I came to the Hefeng Academy with the richest cultural heritage in the town. It was the academy opened by Gu Lingyu, a sage gentleman from the Confucian Academy. I had met this old gentleman Gu Lingyu. He was very good.
He is born with a talent for reading and has a gentle and transparent temperament.
In the eyes of the old gentleman, Gu Lingyu might be able to become the second Qin Suihan, a person who can bear the title of Confucian sage. Of course, if he really wants to become a Confucian sage, he still needs to put in a lot of effort.
Outside the academy, a young master set up a very simple stall and wrote on the black board with plaster. What he wrote was that people are inherently good at first, and those who learned to read were a group of children from poor families wearing tattered patched clothes.
The parents of many children are poor people who wandered to the snowy Tianchi.
Hefeng Academy is so big that it is impossible to accommodate all the children of school age in the town, and young ladies always have to spend money to eat, stay, marry and have children, so Hefeng Academy must charge tuition. Only in this way can it continue in the long run.
.
But Gu Lingyu didn't want to disappoint the children who couldn't afford to study and wanted to study, so every day he would arrange for one of his students to teach people how to read and write and learn articles from sages on the street outside the academy. These are
Free.
The old gentleman chuckled, quietly transformed into a maza, and sat in the last row of the children. Listening to the young master teaching people how to read with a faint hometown accent, the old gentleman smiled so much that his buck teeth were exposed.
I just listened to the class until the evening. The young master closed the stall and was about to leave. He smiled and waved goodbye to the students. When the young master saw the old gentleman, he couldn't help being stunned, but he didn't see any clues. He was just secretly surprised.
It's surprising that there are still such old students.
“Let’s go home and eat~~~”
The children carried small stools and ran home quickly.
In the end, only a child with pigtails lingered. He carefully read what the young gentleman wrote on the blackboard again, frowning, with a look of frustration on his face.
At this moment, the old gentleman came over and asked with a smile: "My child, what is your name? Why don't you go home?"
The young man pursed his lips and said: "Old sir, my name is Qi Shutong. I just learned a few of the characters you taught me today, but I forgot them just now..."
As he spoke, he looked frustrated and said: "My father and mother hoped that I could study hard and get ahead, but I let them down. I'm afraid... I'm not a literate person at all. I
This elm-brained brain is always confused and is not suitable for studying at all. In the end, he will have to follow his father to become a mason."
The old gentleman couldn't help but laugh and said: "If you don't have a clear mind, then keep reading until you do."
The young man frowned: "Old sir, you must be a foreigner. I have never seen you before."
"Well, I just came."
"oh."
The young man looked at the old gentleman and said, "Is the old gentleman also a scholar?"
"That's right."
The old man smiled and said: "The old man couldn't read at that time, and it took him a long time to understand. Now the old man is already half full of knowledge. How about this, you give me a piece of candy in your pocket, and the old man will teach you how to do it."
Enlightenment?"
The young man hesitated: "Old sir, you must keep your word. This candy bar... there is only one left."
"Keep your word."
"good!"
The young man handed the candy wrapped in candy wrapper to the old man, and immediately opened his eyes wide: "Old man, please teach me how to get better!"
The old gentleman chuckled lightly, put his palm on the boy's head, patted it three times, and said with a smile: "Get better! Get better! Get better!"
After that, he quickly threw the candy into his mouth.
"..."
The young man looked confused, and then burst into tears: "Old sir, you are lying, I am not enlightened at all, old sir, give me back the candy!"
At this moment, an elegant figure walked out of the academy. It was Gu Lingyu. In just that moment, he had already seen the old gentleman shoot a touch of literary talent into the young man's head, not to mention enlightenment.
If he is not enlightened, as long as his family continues to let him study, in the future he and Qishu will go to Beijing to take the exam, and at least he will start in the top three!
"Qi Shutong."
Gu Lingyu had a gentle smile on his face: "You are actually enlightened. Don't blame the old man anymore. Go home and have dinner."
"Ah? Master Gu?"
Although the young man was too poor to enter the academy, he still knew the famous Master Gu. According to the rumors in the small town, the most powerful person in the snowy Tianchi was naturally the mountain master Lin Baiyi, and the second
The most powerful person is Gu Lingyu, the scholar from Hefeng Academy.
It is said that Gu Lingyu was once the chief priest of the Imperial Academy in Baidi City. What kind of person was he? Moreover, he was also handsome and elegant. Who among the women of the right age in the whole town would not want to marry such a person?
A scholar?
It's a pity that Gu Lingyu lives in seclusion, and the academy refuses all visitors, otherwise Gu Lingyu's threshold will have to be crossed by those matchmakers.
"oh!"
The young man Qi Shutong jumped for joy and said: "Master Gu, I understand, I will come again tomorrow to learn how to read!"
With that said, the young man ran home with the stool. After running for dozens of steps, he seemed to remember something again. He turned around quickly, knelt down and kowtowed to the old man, and said, "Old man, thank you for enlightening me!"
The old gentleman looked at ease, stroking his beard and smiling.
"Gu Lingyu, meet the Patriarch!"
Gu Lingyu bent down and saluted.
"Ling Yu, there's no need to be polite." The old gentleman smiled and nodded.
Gu Lingyu said: "The Hefeng Academy is quiet, will the Patriarch stay for dinner?"
"No."
The old gentleman waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your junior uncle is waiting for me at the mountain top garden. Come over right away. This trip is also for him."
As he said that, the old gentleman looked deeply at Gu Lingyu and said, "Lingyu, your cultivation and state of mind are very good..."
People like Gu Lingyu blushed a little after receiving this compliment and said: "Thank you, Patriarch!"
"Let's go, let's go."
The old gentleman waved his hands and strode towards the mountain top garden with rapid strides.
…
Mountain top garden.
There was smoke from the stove in Tianranju. Under Lin Zhao's instruction, Dongzang and Liu Liying did not go to greet the distinguished guests, but stayed to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Hospitality in a mountaintop garden must not be ambiguous, especially in
When it comes to food, we must strive for excellence.
At the foot of the mountain.
Lin Zhao stood at the front, with Huang Tingyu and Zhi Zhi standing in the second row behind him, Tang Guangjun, Lin Zhujie, Muzhen, Chu Yu, Chen Ben, Yu Wanning and others standing in the third row. Finally,
In one row, there are three young people, Tong Yu, Zhang Luobai and Zhuang Yirong.
At the bottom of the mountain, the old gentleman slowly climbed up the mountain, with a rather misty aura covering his whole body.
Although Huang Tingyu was a great swordsman in the Thirteenth Realm, he did not dare to explore the old man's background at all. Even if the old man was not angry, this move seemed too rude.
Seeing the old gentleman going up the mountain, Lin Zhao bowed and said respectfully: "Lin Zhao, lead the people in the mountain top garden to greet the old gentleman."
"Um."
The old gentleman chuckled: "As sent by Confucian Wenlin, I come to the human world for a visit. I may be a little disturbed."
"it's nothing."
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Old sir, please."
"good."
The old gentleman smiled happily and looked at the people behind Lin Zhao. The smile on his face suddenly became thicker. Good guy, there are really all kinds of characters.
Not only is there a demon sword cultivator from the thirteenth realm who is an atavistic heavenly dog, but there is also a demon sword cultivator from the twelve realms who is actually a stick insect. In addition, there is a pinnacle of the twelve realms.
There is a one-armed female swordsman who is quite charming, and there is also a military swordsman who is at the top of the twelfth realm, but she looks ugly.
In addition, there is an eleventh-level peak warrior who possesses the courage to fight, and the other three warriors are not weak either. As for the younger generation, they are also growing vigorously, especially the ten-year-old Tong Yu, a genuine sword fairy embryo.
As long as you cultivate it properly, you can expect a promising future, and the Thirteen Realms are within your grasp.
This mountaintop villa has an extraordinary atmosphere!
There are more and more smiles on the old gentleman's face. There are indeed many talents in his direct lineage.
…
Tiantianju entertains distinguished guests at a very high level. Lin Zhao even took out a pond snakehead with golden patterns on its forehead from Yu Huzhong and made soup. The aroma of the soup made people salivate just by smelling it.
, In addition, Lin Zhao also took out a pair of bear paws that Chen Ben hunted in the mountains. Such precious ingredients are very rare.
So, while Lin Zhao was busy on and off the pot, the old man sat aside with a small stool and smiled as he watched his disciple busy.
Very good. Although he is a ten-level sword cultivator and a Confucian disciple who has received the inheritance of Confucian saints, he is still in the human world and has not shed the smoke and smoke of the human world. Only such people can achieve real knowledge, and this is indeed needed in the human world.
The leader.
Soon after, delicacies were served one after another.
Lin Zhao personally entertained the old gentleman. Although he didn't know who the old gentleman was, he was a great sage from the Confucian literary world. He had to eat and drink first. If he didn't want to tell him, there was no need to ask, so he took out a jar of Dongting Zizhu wine.
This rare and famous product has just been opened, and the scent has already made the old man sniff his nose.
Afterwards, the old gentleman didn't need Lin Zhao to entertain him at all. He drank a glass of wine and a bowl of food, and completely settled into his own rhythm.
The old man loves the soup of the two-pound Tangchun braised the most. It is so fresh and fragrant, and the meat of the Tangchun is also tender but not greasy, extremely refreshing. In addition, the green garlic braised bacon made in Dongzang has a delicious taste.
It is also quite unique. As for Dongting Zizhu Liquor, although it is precious, it is not difficult for the old gentleman to drink it.
Only this delicacy with the smoke of human life made it difficult for the old man to part with it.
Having become a sage in the upper realm and one of the few fifteen realms, the old man has almost stood at the top of the great road and is a true immortal. However, he still has some concerns about the human world.
Huang Tingyu was cautious at first and did not dare to propose a toast. After all, the other party might be from the legendary fifteenth realm. If he was not careful, he might be slapped to death by the other party. Everyone in the world said that the thirteenth realm sword cultivator was difficult to deal with, but he could fight against ten
Four realms, but what if the opponent is in the fifteenth realm? Just a slap in the face might kill him.
However, seeing that the old man and Lin Zhao were interacting in a very friendly manner, Huang Tingyu let go and exchanged toasts with the old man. He almost put his arm around the other man's shoulders and asked him where he ranked in Confucianism.
