After coming out of the Death Swamp, Lin Heng did not continue to look for Kusi, Nata, and Lin Zhi. Instead, he let go of his worries and walked freely on the mainland. After this experience, he finally understood that everyone has their own
Although there is no danger for Kusi and Nata to follow him, they also lack experience. With the characteristics of their witch clan, they will not improve too quickly without going through battles again and again. This can be seen from his own experience.
It can be seen that he has experienced life and death several times, and his physical body has improved after each recovery. He believes that if he were a person from the Wu clan, this improvement would be even greater, so he no longer looks for the three people, but experiences
Hongchen, continue your journey of refining your heart.
The so-called refining the heart does not mean to let oneself give up the seven emotions and six desires, but to experience various temptations and torture one's heart to determine whether one is determined to practice Taoism. As long as you are determined enough, the so-called seven emotions and six desires cannot stop your progress. Look at those saints, which one
There is no selfishness. If you have selfishness, you have feelings. If you have feelings, can't you make progress?
I am the most ruthless, but I am not the same as scheming and scheming. The other saints are not ruthless, but they are not the same in cultivation.
Therefore, the practice of eliminating the seven emotions and six desires is simply nonsense.
After walking through towns and mountains, Lin Heng's heart was filled with dust, but the dust was crystal clear and emitted a bright light. With just one thought, he could brush away the dust in his heart and let his state of mind
Go one step further.
On this day, Lin Heng came to a valley. The valley was very empty. At first glance, there were only a few withered trees growing, which seemed to be alive. Outside the valley, there was a small village. The people in the village
The sun rises and the sun sets, living an ordinary, ordinary life. For some reason, Lin Heng suddenly didn't want to leave when he came here. He stood on a high place and looked at the people working below, and his body disappeared in a flash.
A dark man dressed in coarse linen clothes.
Walking to the village, Lin Heng looked for an old man and asked: "Old man, I have been walking all the way. I am very thirsty. Can I ask for a bowl of water?"
The old man glanced at Lin Heng and said with a smile: "Of course." The old man led Lin Heng into the village house behind him, poured a bowl of water for Lin Heng himself, and said: "Don't be offended if something is leaked in the village.
"
"You're welcome, old man!" Lin Heng took the water and took a gulp of it. The old man looked at him with a high gaze and asked, "Where are you going, little brother?"
Lin Heng put down the bowl, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I have no relatives anymore, and I don't know how to live. I can only watch while walking." Lin Heng used some small tricks to make it easy for the old man to believe his words, and
I felt sympathy for him. No. When the old man heard this, he said: "Little brother, what are you talking about? Life is nothing more than making money, marrying a wife, and having children. I think you can't do this. Why not do this? I and the village
Just talking. You can live in the village now and wait until you have an idea."
"That's it. Thank you very much, old man." Lin Heng agreed immediately without refusing.
Seeing this, the old man took him to find Old Cunzheng. Old Cunzheng asked him about his situation. When there were no problems, he agreed to let him stay. "Now there are no extra houses in the village, only a small temple at the foot of the mountain."
.Although the temple is dilapidated, it can provide shelter from wind and rain. If you don’t mind it, just live there first.”
"Thank you Muramasa!" Lin Heng thanked the old man and immediately followed the old man to the ruined temple. I don't know what kind of temple this is. It seems that he has some ideas. The surrounding walls and roof are somewhat damaged, but they can be repaired.
It can accommodate people, and it's no worse than those village houses.
Together with the old man, they simply tidied up the temple. Lin Heng said to the old man: "Old man, you have been so kind to me, and I can't repay you. You see, I can't just live in the village. I asked myself how many words I still know."
, otherwise leave the children in the village to my teaching."
"Haha... This is a good idea. I will tell Muramasa when I get back and he will agree."
Knowledge is important at any time. The old man went back and told Muramasa what Lin Heng said. Muramasa immediately came in person and discussed it with Lin Heng. Lin Heng said that he had no money and taught him
The children don't need money. They just need to give them some seeds and food first. After they clear up the wasteland behind the temple and plant food, they won't need help from the villagers.
Muramasa felt so bad, but he didn't say much in front of Lin Heng. Instead, he went back to discuss with the villagers. He called several prestigious villagers to his home and told them about Lin Heng.
He also proposed to give Lin Heng some money, otherwise he and others would feel sorry for themselves. When everyone heard this, they felt that Lin Heng could not be taught in vain, so they each gave Lin Heng some money. Although it was not much, it was some of their thoughts.
.
The next day, Muramasa brought the money to Lin Heng. Lin Heng didn't want to accept it, but seeing Muramasa's "I don't want it" expression, he had no choice but to accept it.
After going down, the village leader brought some young villagers. Together with Lin Heng, they visited the temple and built a big room outside the temple to serve as teachers. Lin Heng also asked them to tidy up the flat land outside according to their own arrangements.
After a while, it looked a lot more orderly, and he also made some exercise equipment himself.
The village was not rich, so it was a problem to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones. However, in order to make their children educated, the villagers went to great lengths to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones for their children. Many people even sold many things at home for this purpose.
Lin Heng saw that this didn't work, so he went to discuss with everyone and let them buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones together. This could save some money. In order to save, Lin Heng placed a frame with a bottom on the wooden table made by the villagers.
Place a horizontal log, a branch, and a piece of sand.
Paper is used to write down things that need to be recorded. For daily training, sand and soil are the main materials. In this way, you can also save money.
A month later, Lin Heng finally got everything done, and the children were sent by their parents to find their way. On the next day, Lin Heng started formal classes.
There are not many children in the village. There are only thirteen children between the ages of six and fourteen. The older ones are already old enough to work, and some are even married. Naturally, it is not easy to come back. Lin Heng did not force it. He knew that,
That's how it is in the countryside. If you force yourself, it won't be beautiful, so he taught these thirteen children.
Standing among the teachers, Lin Heng looked at the thirteen children sitting upright below, and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He stopped here to teach these children. Although it was a temporary idea, he felt somewhat pitiful for their poor life.
, he just wants to improve himself. Think about it, he has traveled so many places and seen so many things, how could he not have some emotions? This is like people in big cities entering a mountain village and seeing the mountain village.
Naturally there is some sympathy for the poor life of the people.
The same is true for Lin Heng, but he has a deeper understanding and thinks more. Yes, he cannot change the world by himself, but he can definitely change the lives of some people. Now, it is just a small village, waiting for him
After teaching, the thirteen children can go to the next village, and the thirteen children can also disperse, one after another, there will be more and more people involved, and the merits will be immeasurable.
Lin Heng will also feel comforted in his heart.
"Students, today is your first day of class. Let me first tell you about your future study arrangements..." Standing on the podium, Lin Heng was full of energy, "Starting from tomorrow, you need to feel in the classroom at two o'clock.
Go home at four o'clock in the morning, go back to school at four o'clock in the morning, go home at noon, come back in the afternoon, and leave school at two o'clock in the morning."
"This is your time schedule. You have to write it down later. As for the specifics, I will arrange it again. Okay, now I will teach you about time first so that you can have an impression..."
With that said, Lin Heng began to teach the children to write. He first let the children learn the basic font composition such as horizontal, vertical, and dots. Then he taught them the expression of the twelve o'clock and let them practice on the sand. Finally, he let them
Write them down on paper one by one, tell your parents when you get home, and ask them to coordinate with the children's schedule.
This is what Lin Heng taught on this day. It was not much, but it was not much for the children who were exposed to knowledge for the first time. On the second day, Lin Heng was standing outside the temple at five o'clock, waiting for the children. These children did not let them go.
He was disappointed, and arrived in front of the temple one by one before half past five. Lin Heng smiled and asked them to stand up, taught them to line up, and then did some simple relaxing movements and jogged for ten minutes. At six o'clock, he
Let the children go back. After they had eaten and returned to school, Lin Heng started new content.
First, he asked the children to review the time content they learned yesterday and describe the twelve o'clock back and forth. During this period, he also taught them how to describe the numbers from one to ten. Ancient characters are troublesome. If Arabic numerals are used, zero to
Nine is enough, but these ancient characters have to be written one by one, which is really troublesome. It is not that Lin Heng has never thought about implementing Arabic numerals, but after thinking about it, he still feels that it is not possible, because these are just children. If they are taught Arabic numerals,
, they want to save trouble and no longer learn ancient calligraphy. What will they do when they go out? After all, others do not understand Arabic, and they will still be blind by then.
Therefore, he could only take things step by step.
Lin Heng doesn't spend much time teaching literacy. He spends only one hour in the morning. The rest of the time is either to help the children exercise or let them play by themselves. The same is true in the afternoon. In his opinion, although teaching children to learn literacy is good, it can teach them to survive.
Ability is more important. He teaches children to exercise in order to lay a foundation for them so that he can teach them the way of cultivation in the future. Lin Heng does not need to teach too much, he just needs to give them the foundation so that they can achieve something.
That's ok. Because with their cultivation, they can survive, and some people who are ambitious can also use this ability to enter the world of cultivation, and perhaps become a master.
Apart from teaching the children, Lin Heng would also work on the wasteland behind the temple like the villagers. He would plant the borrowed seeds and wait for them to sprout and bear fruit. Occasionally, when he was free, he would help some other villagers.
Because he is a teacher, Lin Heng has a very high status in the village, almost as good as the village leader, so everyone is very warm and polite to him, which makes Lin Heng quite happy. (To be continued.)
