Chapter 1,455: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (2)
Chapter 1458: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (2)
The boundary between mountains and seas, Nanli Country.
On the rugged mountain road, a big black donkey was trudging forward carrying a scholar and two suitcases of luggage.
The scholar is dressed in a green shirt and looks like he is in his early twenties. Although his appearance is ordinary, his eyes are bright and lively, exuding the unique aura of a scholar, and he also has a long sword at his waist.
At sunset, the scholar riding a green donkey finally walked out of the mountain and turned onto the flat and open official road.
His destination is Qing'an County ahead.
The scholar was lucky and entered the city before the city gate closed.
Qing'an County is located in the southwest of Nanli State. The county has a population of tens of thousands and land and water transportation is not developed, so it is not very prosperous. However, it is far away from the influence of war, so it is relatively peaceful and peaceful.
It was getting late, and the scholar in green shirt found an inn to stay.
The innkeeper was very enthusiastic and received him personally: "May I ask your name, sir, and how many nights you want to stay in the inn?"
The scholar handed the black donkey he was holding to the shopkeeper to take care of, and said with a smile: "Your surname is Wang, and I have just come to this treasure land to make a living. Please take care of me, the shopkeeper."
After a pause, he added: "Let's stay for three nights first."
"It turns out to be Mr. Wang."
The innkeeper said solemnly: "I can't take care of you. There is an empty upper room in the inn. Can you stay here first?"
Nanli State has always valued both civil and military affairs, and true scholars are highly respected.
The innkeeper was well-informed and saw that although the scholar was young, he had an extraordinary temperament, so he respected him a little more.
"good."
Mr. Wang happily took out a piece of silver and handed it to the other party: "If you meet the expenses, you will refund the excess and make up for the less."
The innkeeper knew that this was fine snowflake official silver when he bought it. One ingot weighed a standard five taels, which was more than enough to cover three days of room and board and livestock care.
He immediately beamed and said, "Please come with me."
The innkeeper diligently took Mr. Wang to the guest room, and also ordered the waiter to prepare hot water and a bathtub.
By the time I settled down, took a hot bath, and ate the snacks provided by the store, it was already dark.
However, Mr. Wang did not feel sleepy at all. He opened the window and looked up at the stars, his dark eyes reflecting the Milky Way.
Mountain and sea world, long time no see!
Mr. Wang is Wang Chen who has returned to the world of mountains and seas.
But at this moment, he is no longer the Immortal Nascent Soul of the Haotian Realm, but has become a mortal without any magic power.
Wang Chen's cultivation, along with Nascent Soul, was tightly sealed within the Qihai Dantian, making him unable to cast any spells.
If you are still a monk who has the ability to burn mountains and boil seas, it is destined to be in vain to refine your mind in this mortal world.
Only by becoming a mortal and experiencing the mortal world can we truly refine our worldly thoughts!
Originally, Wang Chen wanted to do something big, because when he was in the Yunyang Sect, he once went down to the place as a guarding heavenly master.
However, today's Dagan Mountains and Rivers are shattered and the country is in ruins. Hundreds of millions of people have been destroyed by natural disasters and man-made disasters. They cannot find any peaceful place. It is not a suitable place for the world to refine their hearts.
In desperation, Wang Chen could only go all the way south and arrived at Nanli Country.
We chose this quiet county as our base.
It took Wang Chen more than three months to get here from the world of mountains and seas. He encountered refugees and bandits along the way. The hardships are difficult to describe in words.
Three days later, through the innkeeper's introduction, Wang Chen bought a courtyard in the south of the county.
He spent most of his money on this.
The innkeeper wanted to make friends with Wang Chen, a scholar. Not only did he act as a broker to broker the deal, but he also accompanied him to the Yamen to go through the procedures for transfer and settlement.
??????55.??????
Without the help of this local snake, even if Wang Chen bought a house, it would not be easy for him to settle down in Qing'an County.
Finally, he helped Wang Chen settle in his new home.
To express his gratitude, Wang Chen invited him to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.
During the dinner, the innkeeper asked: "Mr. Wang, you have settled in the county, what are your plans in the future?"
Although Wang Chen was not stingy with his move, he was obviously not a rich man, otherwise he would not have bought a house in the south of the city.
Like most cities, Qing'an County also has a pattern of rich people in the east and rich people in the west, poor people in the south and humble people in the north. Most of the people living in the south of the city are ordinary people, and the environment is better than that in the north.
After a few days, the innkeeper and Wang Chen had developed some friendship, so he became concerned about the latter's livelihood.
After all, in today's world, it is not easy to make a living in the county.
Wang Chen is still an outsider.
"I plan to open a private school."
Wang Chen replied without hesitation: "Teaching and educating people will make you a shade of peach and plum trees, which will comfort you throughout your life!"
"good!"
The innkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said immediately: "My boy has just turned five years old, and he is at the age of enlightenment. I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to accept him as a disciple?"
In the past few days, he had been secretly observing Wang Chen.
The more I look at it, the more extraordinary I feel.
If Wang Chen can accept his youngest son as a student, the relationship between the two parties will undoubtedly take a further step forward.
"The sage said, there is no distinction without distinction."
Wang Chen smiled and said: "As long as you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach."
The innkeeper was delighted: "That's great!"
With this relationship, the innkeeper's attitude towards Wang Chen became even more enthusiastic. He took the initiative to take over the decoration of the house and hired people to renovate a school in Wang Chen's new home.
Although it is a bit rudimentary, it is fully equipped with tables, chairs, benches, lectures and other items.
The innkeeper's youngest son also became the first student of Wang's private school.
Originally, the innkeeper wanted to give a copy of Shuxiu as a gift.
But Wang Chen declined.
The other party has already helped a lot, so we can no longer be greedy.
The innkeeper simply used his personal connections to advertise for him, and as a result, the Wang School actually recruited seven students before the school started.
These students are basically five or six years old and have not yet enlightened themselves.
Despite the small number of people, it is actually very difficult. After all, local people’s first choice to send their children to school is the school they are most familiar with, or the home of a famous scholar.
Wang Chen has no proud reputation and is a foreigner with no roots. If the innkeeper hadn't personally guaranteed it and sent his own children in, it would be normal for him not to be able to recruit one.
Wang Chen himself was very satisfied with this.
The sound of reading aloud soon filled the small Wang's private school.
And this sound spread to the neighbors, attracting the attention of many people around. From time to time, people poked their heads at the door.
Wang Chen ignored it and concentrated on teaching the "Thousand-Character Essay" to his disciples.
"The Thousand Character Classic" is the most commonly used enlightenment textbook for ordinary people in the world of mountains and seas. It records 1,579 commonly used characters. As long as you learn and read this book thoroughly, you will be completely out of the category of illiteracy.
