Cheng Hong looked solemn, and there was a hint of pleading in his words.
Chen Jingyun beside him also turned his head with earnest eyes, as if he hoped that his request would come true.
The purpose and attitude of the teacher and student made Song Zhishu stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what was going on, so he could only return the favor and said politely: "Mr. Cheng's words are serious. We are both Confucian disciples. If there is anything we can do to help,
, as long as I can do it, I should try my best."
He did not agree directly because he really did not know what the two requested.
At the same time, I was also wondering, what can I do in Qingzhou City?
He is the dean of an academy and is a gentleman. Even the lord of Qingzhou City must treat him with courtesy. He has a very high status. There is something that cannot be done in the city. If the other party cannot do it, it is definitely useless to look for him.
Even if the other party knows his origin, that's all, and Song Zhishu understands that now he has neither strength nor identity.
It must not be an easy thing for Cheng Hong and his students to be able to do this, so the words only say that they should try their best if they can.
If it can't be done, then that's a different matter.
"Mr. Song can definitely do it."
Cheng Hong smiled, then took a deep breath: "After learning that Mr. Song came to Qingzhou City, the gentlemen in the academy and I were very happy, and finally unanimously decided that we hope Mr. Song can give lectures in our Qingzhou Academy."
"Of course it's just a lecture. Don't dare to ask for anything else. At the same time, our Qingzhou Academy will also give you corresponding rewards. I won't let Mr. Song's hard work go in vain. But if Mr. Song is interested, come to our Qingzhou Academy
Sir, we are also very welcome."
Song Zhishu was a Confucian scholar of knowledge and practice. Nowadays, many scholars in the world know that it may be difficult to be a teacher in other places.
But it was completely different in Qingzhou Academy. Even Chen Jingyun was qualified, let alone Song Zhishu.
But this is just an idea in Cheng Hong's mind.
The other party is a person valued by the Great Zhou Wen Palace. Qingzhou Academy obviously cannot accommodate this giant Buddha, and Cheng Hong is also self-aware.
"Going to Qingzhou Academy to give lectures?"
Hearing this, Song Zhishu could not help but be startled again. He had thought that the other party might be here for Confucian matters, but he did not expect that he was actually giving lectures. This was unusual. You should know that he could be invited by major academies to give lectures, even if it was just for one class.
Not to mention how high he is in Confucianism, but at least he is a famous scholar for a long time.
Otherwise, it doesn’t matter whether you can explain some truth. Even if you can, can you convince the public? Most scholars will definitely not be able to do it.
Song Zhishu did not expect that the dean of Qingzhou Academy would think so highly of him.
With his thoughts at this point, Song Zhizhi smiled and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Cheng is joking. I am only a Confucian scholar. I have only entered Confucianism and Taoism not long ago. My own understanding is still superficial. If I give lectures in the academy, I am afraid I will make people laugh.
."
This is considered a polite refusal, because he also thinks that he is not suitable for teaching for the time being. Even if he is justified in his heart, teaching is very important. If it is not done well, it will be misleading. Not every scholar is suitable to be a teacher or a teacher.
.
At the same time, Song Zhishu also felt that he was not ready yet. Even if he wanted to talk about it, he would have to wait until later.
"Mr. Song is really humble."
Cheng Hong seemed to have noticed Song Zhishu's concerns, and immediately said: "Mr. Song's recitation of the Tao of the University caused the sound of heaven and earth, and lowered one's literary stature. A saint's lectures are nothing more than that. If you are not qualified to lecture, what will happen in the world?"
There are several scholars who are qualified, so I sincerely ask Mr. Song to agree."
There are only two situations in which the sound of heaven and earth can be aroused and the literary spirit can be lowered. One is when a saint preaches and heaven and earth feel it.
The second is when someone realizes the true principles of Confucianism and proves himself, it will also happen when the two become one.
And no matter which one, it is remarkable in the eyes of Confucian scholars.
Cheng Hong had also seen the Way of the University and realized it, but he didn't really understand it. But Song Zhishu was different. He understood it and acted accordingly. He wanted to ask him to go to Qingzhou Academy to teach some principles in the University. For the Academy
It's definitely a blessing.
In fact, Cheng Hong can guarantee that not only Qingzhou Academy, but any academy in the world will not miss this opportunity.
"This" Song Zhishu didn't say directly. If he just talked about some principles in the university, then there would be no problem.
It's just that I'm still a little worried in my heart, after all, I've never done this kind of thing before.
Once he lectures, all those listening can be said to be his students.
It may even have an impact on some people.
Before you are fully prepared, you really need to be cautious.
"Mr. Song, if you agree to give lectures, our Qingzhou Academy can use one hundred thousand spiritual stones as a reward. As for your worries, there is no need to take it to heart. You also know that the demon has appeared recently and the academy has recruited a large number of students.
I have never been exposed to Confucianism, so the purpose of this lecture is for enlightenment, so you can rest assured."
Cheng Hong saw that Song Zhishu was worried, so he directly told him about the remuneration for this lecture, and also mentioned that the name was for enlightenment.
Confucian enlightenment is very important, but it is much simpler than explaining some Confucian principles in depth.
The reason is very simple, that is, most of the people who want to study have not entered the country.
You only need to explain some simple principles to let students know what Confucianism is.
In fact, Cheng Hong could accomplish this kind of thing by himself, but he didn't want to let go of this opportunity. Song Zhishu's Confucian talent and understanding of the way of the university, and more importantly, this was the first time that the other party gave a lecture.
In any case, Qingzhou Academy will not lose.
Therefore, he made up his mind early in the morning and then came to Qingzhou for a visit, which was of great significance.
After hearing Cheng Hong's explanation, Song Zhishu thought for a moment.
What the other party said is indeed good.
And it is only for enlightening students who have not had much contact with Confucianism, so it is not very difficult.
Another point is that the reward for this lecture is 100,000 spiritual stones. Obviously, he has a plan. He knows that since he is a Taoist and Confucianist, spiritual stones are very important, and 100,000 spiritual stones is not a small amount.
I can agree to the trip to Qingzhou Academy to give lectures.
But Song Zhishu did not speak directly. After deep thought, he said directly: "It's not impossible for me to go to Qingzhou Academy to give lectures, but I have a condition. If you can agree, I can make preparations today."
"Mr. Song, it's okay to say it." Hearing this, Cheng Hong was overjoyed.
As for Song Zhishu's offer of conditions, he didn't think there was anything wrong.
After all, it was me who wanted something from others, and I was able to take advantage of it. It is only human nature for others to ask for conditions.
As long as it can be done, Cheng Hong thinks there is no problem at all.
"For this lecture, I hope that Qingzhou Academy can open its doors for convenience. Anyone in the city who is interested can come in to listen to the lecture without setting any requirements." Song Zhishu spoke slowly and stated the conditions.
Now that demons have appeared, everyone in the city is in danger, and they want to contact Confucianism. Although it is temporary, it is better than doing nothing.
Song Zhishu learned from Lin Cheng and others that not many people could enter Qingzhou Academy and the number of places was limited.
I am not from Qingzhou Academy, so I can't do anything, but if it's a lecture, I can decide who can listen. Maybe I won't attract many people, and I won't help many people, but since I can do it, why not do it?
?
Allowing more monks to come into contact with Confucianism will not only cultivate a few true scholars in the future, but it can at least contribute to a modest effort.
No one knows now when this demon incident will end, and Confucian power is the only way to deal with the demons.
What Song Zhishu thought was also very simple. Even if it could only open up the path to Confucianism for one person, it would be good. As for the other things, he didn't think about it. He just felt that doing so was within his ability.
After all, when he went to Wanshi Pavilion today, so many casual cultivators were blocked. He was also touched and tried his best to do whatever he could.
"this"
When Cheng Hong heard this, he was silent for a moment and then directly replied: "Qingzhou Academy can agree."
He actually guessed Song Zhishu's purpose for doing this, but he didn't quite understand it in his heart, because some people really didn't have the talent to practice Confucianism, and even if they talked about it, they might not understand the truth.
Of course, this does not mean that Cheng Hong does not approve of it, because this move is in line with education and is done by a gentleman, and he admires it in his heart.
As for why Qingzhou Academy doesn't do this, firstly, it doesn't have the energy, and secondly, it's very troublesome.
But if it’s just a lecture, it’s still okay.
"In this way, students will have no problem."
Seeing the other party's agreement, Song Zhishu smiled, stood up and bowed slightly.
"Okay, please prepare Mr. Song for three days. After three days, Jingyun will come to welcome you to Qingzhou Academy." Cheng Hong said immediately. He was naturally very happy that he could achieve his goal, and he gave him three days of preparation time.
Just in these three days, I can spread the lectures and attract more monks to pay attention.
Immediately, teachers and students Cheng Hong and Chen Jingyun bowed slightly to Song Zhishu and said goodbye.
After all, the matter has been said and it is not good to go on about it.
Song Zhishu sent the two of them outside the door, waited for them to leave, then closed the door and sat down cross-legged.
"Confucian lectures should not be perfunctory, especially when it comes to enlightenment, and they must be done carefully, so what you say is very important." Song Zhishu sat cross-legged on the bed and muttered to himself, with a somewhat solemn look on his face.
But in fact, before agreeing to Mr. Cheng Hong, he had already thought about what he wanted to talk about, but there were just some areas that needed to be improved.
But this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Besides, there are still three days left, so you can take your time.
Therefore, Song Zhishu took out the jade and the magic pen again.
"High-grade spiritual gem, engraved with two kinds of divine inscriptions. With my current soul, there will definitely be no problem, but I don't know how much time it will take." Song Zhishu thought for a while, adjusted his state, then took a deep breath and held it in his hand.
Smart pen.
Three Thousand Divine Inscriptions are different from ordinary immortal inscriptions. They are somewhat complicated and more similar to hieroglyphs, so you need to concentrate when inscribing them.
Song Zhishu controlled it with his powerful soul and injected his own rich magic power, and the process was careful.
In this way, time passes bit by bit.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
As the Baoyu trembled, two blurry fonts appeared and submerged into the Baoyu. Finally, a simple breath slowly appeared, and the Baoyu in front of him became extremely dazzling. There seemed to be a big sun engraved in it.
"It's done."
Song Zhishu's eyes lit up when he saw this and he held the jade.
I just felt one of the fiery breaths coming continuously, which was a bit hot to the touch and was pregnant with a fiery power.
The two words "Zhi" and "Yang" represent the purest pure Yang power. Song Zhishu understood that this power's ability to restrain demons is second only to Confucian righteousness, and it is the best way for ordinary monks to deal with demons.
If you add the awe-inspiring righteousness in your body, your power will be doubled.
"Yes, if this jade is sold, I'm afraid the price will be much higher than ordinary high-grade spiritual grade jade, especially in Qingzhou City."
Song Zhishu understood that now almost 99% of the monks in the city were in danger because of the appearance of demons and hoped for powerful means. Therefore, the value of the jade in his hand was very high, but he did not intend to sell it. After all, he also needed it.
.
What's more, it took him almost two days to carve such a precious jade. Even if he worked day and night, he couldn't do much.
Unless your soul can be improved again and reach the late stage of pill formation or be stronger, you will be able to relax.
"There's nothing wrong with the precious jade, and the divine text is chosen just right, so that's all."
Song Zhishu put away the jade, then raised his head and said to himself: "The next step is to prepare to give lectures at Qingzhou Academy."
As he spoke, he cleared the table, took out the books he had brought from the Taihao Sword Sect, and then began to read slowly. After setting the content of the lecture, he also understood it again to confirm that there were no problems.
Soon, the three-day period arrived.
In the past few days, various news has spread in the city.
Most of them were related to demons. The city lord's palace said that they had discovered traces of Tiansheng believers and took advantage of the situation to kill a group of people and some weak demons. This news reduced the panic in the city a lot.
But at the same time, the city lord's palace still implemented martial law, saying that the demons had not been eliminated, and there were already signs of rebellion.
Therefore, Wanshi Pavilion has released more related tasks than before, and the rewards have been increased again.
But in addition, there is another news that has attracted the attention of the monks in the city, especially the casual monks. That is, Qingzhou Academy said that it has invited a gentleman to give lectures about Confucian enlightenment. There is no threshold, and anyone who is interested can go.
Listen and learn.
This made countless casual cultivators in the city unable to believe it. Previously, Qingzhou Academy said it would no longer recruit people, but many people were unable to get in.
Even if there are quotas, most of them are divided up by the children of many forces in the city, and the casual cultivators have opinions on this.
If you fail to pass the establishment assessment, that's fine, but now you are using the back door openly.
How can some casual cultivators with no powerful background not be angry?
But what about anger?
This is true everywhere in the world today.
But now they suddenly invited a gentleman to give lectures, which was beyond their expectations and enlightened them.
Some people felt that Qingzhou Academy felt sorry for him, and in order to appease their grievances, they randomly asked a so-called gentleman to give lectures and expressed no interest.
However, some monks believe that now that demon incidents are becoming more and more intense, and there are Tiansheng believers popping up from time to time, if they have the opportunity to come into contact with Confucianism, even if they cannot cultivate Confucian righteousness in the end, it will at least provide psychological comfort, so they decided to go and have a look.
Yunlingzhai, in a guest room.
Song Zhishu sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, but he did not meditate.
There are volumes of Confucian classics in front of him. At this moment, he is digesting and understanding them and sitting down to make final preparations.
After the time was almost up, Song Zhishu opened his eyes and put everything away.
Because the time for the appointment is coming soon.
"Fellow Daoist Song."
And at this moment, there was a knock on the door, it was Lin Cheng and others.
Song Zhishu stood up, opened the door, and looked at the few people in front of him. Although they had not seen each other for only a few days, the auras on the three of them were thicker than before. It was obvious that they did not waste time and practiced hard. The appearance of the demon gave several people a sense of urgency.
Without saying anything else, Song Zhishu was about to invite a few people in.
"Fellow Daoist Song, we will not go in today."
Lin Cheng smiled with a little excitement in his tone: "Have you heard? Qingzhou Academy has invited a gentleman to give lectures about Confucian enlightenment. It is about to start. It is said that no one can listen without restrictions. The three of us plan to
Go and see if you can gain anything."
"Yes, I don't say whether it can cultivate Confucian righteousness, but it is good to have more contact. Do you want to come together, fellow Taoist Song?" Wang Chong also spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Song is a true Confucian scholar. There is no need for any enlightenment. Besides, I think the gentleman invited by Qingzhou Academy is not as good as Daoist Song. Maybe he is better than Mr. Chen." Li Xiansong smiled and shook his head, thinking that Qingzhou Academy did this.
I definitely won't really invite any powerful Confucian scholars to come. I can just wait for others to go there. After all, I have never been exposed to Confucianism and Taoism.
But Song Zhishu and others knew that true Confucian scholars had extraordinary talents, and it was said that the great Confucian scholars valued them very much.
Qingzhou Academy is indeed good in the eyes of a few people, but it is just an academy in a small place.
The gentleman who invited me is afraid that he is only targeting those who have not yet been enlightened.
"oh?"
"So this is who I am in the eyes of my three fellow Taoists?"
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded, causing Li Xiansong and others to tremble. They turned their heads and found Chen Jingyun standing not far away with a smile on his face.
For a moment, the three of them lowered their heads and were a little at a loss. Li Xiansong, especially, wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
When is it bad to say something bad? Why should we speak ill of Mr. Chen at this time?
Song Zhishu shook his head and smiled, but did not speak.
He knew that with Chen Jingyun's personality, he would not take this to heart. After all, there was no malicious intent.
Sure enough, after Chen Jingyun finished speaking, he slowly walked forward, looked at Lin Cheng and the others with a smile, then turned to look at Zhishu Song, bowed slightly, and said in a respectful tone: "Mr. Song, everything is ready.
My master sent me to invite Mr. Song to give lectures in the academy."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Cheng and others were stunned, and then they all looked at Song Zhishu with shock in their eyes.
"Could it be that the gentleman invited by Qingzhou Academy is you, fellow Daoist Song?"
Can't blame them for being shocked.
Because several people really did not expect that Qingzhou Academy would actually do this.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be normal. With the ability of fellow Daoist Song, he is indeed qualified.
"Of course, you three fellow Taoists, you have to thank Mr. Song. It was he who suggested that there be no threshold for this lecture. Anyone who is interested can come." Chen Jingyun looked at the shocked expressions of several people and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Okay Mr. Chen, without further ado, let's set off."
Song Zhishu didn't dwell too much on this, he just wanted to start and end as soon as possible.
"Okay, please, Mr. Song."
Chen Jingyun didn't waste any time and led everyone to leave the inn and head to Qingzhou Academy.
Qingzhou Academy is very large. There are dozens of gentlemen who hold positions. They are basically in the realm of knowledge, practice and knowledge. However, they and Dean Cheng Hong will not participate in this lecture. They are just prepared. The lecture place is
The Academy Square is a large place that can accommodate thousands of people to attend classes.
At the same time, in order to comply with the requirements of Song Zhishu, Qingzhou Academy will not close its doors today, and all visitors can go to the square.
According to the academy's estimation, in addition to those students, there will be more than a thousand casual practitioners coming for today's lecture, because the academy only said before that it invited a gentleman to give lectures, but did not say who it was.
This was what Chen Jingyun introduced on the way, so that Song Zhishu was well aware of it.
Song Zhishu also expected this. After all, he was not a famous scholar, and Qingzhou Academy did not reveal his identity. It was good to have a thousand people here. If it were Gu Yun Daru, all the monks in the city would go, but like that
Once it came, the academy couldn't fit it in.
Not long after, everyone walked into Qingzhou Academy. There were pavilions, bamboo forests and lotus ponds inside. The decoration was not luxurious, but it was in line with the appetite of scholars.
After walking to the academy square, I saw many people sitting in the square. In addition to the academy students, there were also some casual practitioners.
These people were dark and noisy, and they all seemed to be talking about the gentleman who was giving the lecture today.
In the middle is a high platform, which is where the teacher lectures.
Lin Cheng and others found a place to sit down.
Song Zhishu was waiting aside.
After checking that the time was almost up, Chen Jingyun went directly to the high platform, looked at everyone, and circulated Confucian righteousness: "Everyone, be quiet. The time has come. Today I am giving a lecture at Qingzhou Academy. Everyone who comes is welcome to listen. Everyone, stand up and invite Mr. Lecturer."
After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly towards the direction of Zhishu Song.
Below, a group of students and monks who were listening to the lecture also stood up one by one, with curiosity in their eyes.
"This gentleman seems a bit young."
"Yes, is this Qingzhou Academy just a casual matter?"
"Whether he can handle it or not, it's good enough that casual cultivators like us can come in and learn."
Looking at Zhishu Song, some monks whispered, feeling that Zhishu Song looked a bit like a scholar, but very young, and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
Facing thousands of looks, Song Zhishu looked calm. The scene in the Law Enforcement Hall was much bigger than this. He felt no psychological pressure at all and just walked slowly up the stage.
"I am the magistrate of the Song Dynasty. I am the lecturer today, and what I want to talk about today is the way of a gentleman."
Song Zhishu looked at the crowd and directly stated the content of today's lecture without any nonsense.
This is what he thought carefully, Confucianism values the gentleman the most.
Most of the people present were people who had not had much contact with Confucianism and Taoism. Starting from the way of a gentleman, let them have a preliminary understanding of what a gentleman is. This is what Song Zhishu enlightened everyone.
"May I ask, sir, what is the way of a gentleman?" Below, a man stood up. He was young and a little fat.
It seems that he is not from Qingzhou Academy, but a casual cultivator, with a desire for knowledge in his eyes.
"That's a good question."
Seeing this, Song Zhishu pressed his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down, then looked at the crowd, pondered for a moment and then said directly: "A gentleman is virtuous and takes the interests of everyone as his starting point. A gentleman is virtuous and spreads virtues to the world with a positive attitude.
A gentleman is uncompromising and treats everything with fairness. A gentleman is magnanimous and does not need to escape any suspicious eyes. A gentleman is moderate and impartial. A gentleman is polite and keeps respect in his heart."
When Song Zhishu opened his mouth, he did not hide anything about the way of a gentleman that he understood, and openly told everyone about it.
At the same time, he explained in a simple and profound way, telling everyone what the way of a gentleman is.
He didn't quote any scriptures, he said it very clearly, even an ordinary person can understand it.
And in the process of explaining, I am also constantly understanding and comprehending that teaching is not all for others, but also for myself, and I will have a deeper understanding of the way of a gentleman.
Unknowingly, Song Zhishu was immersed in it, and a great righteousness surged in his body, lingering in his chest.
The students below were all attracted and couldn't help but nod as they listened to the gentlemanly remarks.
And at this time, an inexplicable aura emerged from some students.
That's when they began to understand in the process of listening to the way of a gentleman.
This is what is called enlightenment.
As time went by, there were more and more of these auras, slowly emerging over the entire square, emitting wisps of glow.
But it was also in the process of Song Zhishu’s lectures.
In a courtyard of Qingzhou Academy.
Dean Cheng Hong sat down with a group of gentlemen from the academy and chatted with each other.
They didn't go to the lecture. The reason was simple. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that every scholar has his own path. Besides, this was just for enlightenment, and it didn't matter whether they listened or not.
"teacher."
At this time, Chen Jingyun came over and bowed slightly: "Teacher, what Mr. Song is talking about today is the way of a gentleman."
"The way of a gentleman?" Hearing this, Cheng Hong nodded: "Confucianism cultivates the mind and becomes a gentleman. Mr. Song's enlightenment content was well chosen."
The way of a gentleman is the most important thing in Confucianism, and it is what scholars pursue throughout their lives. Therefore, what Song Zhishu talks about is indeed very suitable for students and casual practitioners who have never been exposed to Confucianism.
"This Mr. Song has understood the way of a university and taught the way of a gentleman, which is also reasonable." A gentleman from Qingzhou Academy spoke up and agreed with Cheng Hong.
"Huh? No, why do I feel the righteousness of Confucianism?"
Suddenly, a gentleman from the academy spoke. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the academy square, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Dean, gentlemen, where are you looking?"
When everyone heard this, they cast their gazes one after another, and then everyone couldn't help but open their eyes.
At this moment, in that direction, wisps of Confucian righteousness emerged. Although they didn't think there were many, they were very pure. These Confucians strived to wander around constantly, floating and sinking in the mid-air, which looked very unique.
"this"
Seeing this scene, Dean Cheng Hong couldn't help but ask: "Can it be that Mr. Song's first lecture can enlighten people?"
He was shocked, because the current situation is that the emergence of those Confucian righteousness means that some students are enlightening and are obviously beginning to understand the gentleman's way taught by Song Zhishu. Even if they only understand a small part, it is enough.
After all, these are people who have not had much contact with Confucianism and Taoism.
"How is that possible?"
One gentleman was in disbelief: "It is not easy to enlighten people and embark on the path of Confucianism. Even talented people need to study day and night. Nowadays, there are students and casual practitioners in the square with varying talents. How did Mr. Song do this?
Arrived?"
Others don’t understand it because it’s too exaggerated. How can people be enlightened in the first lecture?
And it seems that there are quite a few enlightened people in the square, close to a hundred.
"Mr. Song is a person who is valued by the Wen Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is extremely talented. When he first recited the Tao of the University, it caused visions in the world. There is a gentleman's way in the university. The content of his lectures is what he is best at and is the result of his own understanding.
Etiquette, so only Mr. Song can do this kind of thing."
After Cheng Hong pondered for a moment, he expressed his understanding, because those who can arouse the sound of heaven and earth are those who have complete enlightenment.
Let such people explain a principle they are best at, which is directly better than teaching by words and deeds.
Even if the students and monks in the square have not had much contact with Confucianism, they can understand it as long as they have a little understanding. Of course, there is a more important point. If they have not had contact with Confucianism, it is equivalent to a blank sheet of paper in this regard. See
It seems that they don’t understand anything, but as long as it is explained, they can accept it completely and will not reject it. This is why the further the Confucian scholars practice, the more difficult it becomes.
Because the more you understand, the more you think. If you don’t understand it thoroughly, you can only get stuck in it.
But some people don't have this trouble, just like those people in the square.
"It seems that I did not make a mistake in Qingzhou Academy's choice to invite Mr. Song to give lectures." Seeing this, Cheng Hong's expression was full of relief. This is also the reason why he must invite Mr. Song to give lectures. It can directly enlighten people, but it is not
Anyone can do it.
"Teacher, if this happens, I'm afraid more and more people will come to listen to the lecture later."
At this moment, Chen Jingyun opened his mouth, looking at the light emanating from the Confucian righteousness in the square, he couldn't help but speak.
Such a vision will definitely attract more people's attention, and the number of casual cultivators entering the academy will definitely increase significantly.
"It doesn't matter."
Cheng Hong didn't care, and was very happy in his heart, because in this way, as long as Qingzhou can survive the catastrophe of demons, the reputation of Qingzhou College will spread throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty in the future, so he continued to smile and said: "I'm just telling you this once
That’s all, and it’s also what Mr. Song requested. If anyone wants to come, let them come, and Jingyun just pays attention to maintaining order.”
"Yes, teacher." Chen Jingyun nodded when he heard this.
"Right."
At this moment, Cheng Hong seemed to have thought of something and spoke again: "The demon incident has been brought under control recently. All forces in the city are preparing to assist and contain the demon disaster as soon as possible. Our Qingzhou Academy must also take action, so wait.
When I have time, I will go to Wanshi Pavilion to pick up a few monster missions, and then find some helpers."
"Otherwise City Lord Qiu will say that Qingzhou Academy only knows how to study but not how to contribute."
As the dean of Qingzhou Academy, he must help when the demonic disaster occurs.
Not only because the city lord has an order, but also because it is the scholar's responsibility.
And his disciple Chen Jingyun, who is a Taoist and Confucianist, will soon be able to break through to the foundation-building realm, and also has the Confucian knowledge of the saint realm, so he is the best candidate for the academy.
"yes."
Hearing this, Chen Jingyun was a little stunned.
He was not mentally prepared to face the demon, but since it was the teacher who spoke, he naturally could not refuse and nodded immediately.
And on the other side.
Standing on a high platform in the square, Song Zhishu spoke out all he understood about the way of a gentleman.
At the same time, he also discovered that there were people below who had become enlightened, and Confucian righteousness was gathering in their bodies. At the same time, as time went by, more and more people were in the square, probably attracted by the vision of Confucian righteousness.
But Song Zhishu didn't pay attention and continued to lecture.
About an hour later.
Song Zhishu stopped, and the Confucian righteousness in the sky above the square surged into the bodies of the students and casual cultivators present.
But there are still some people who are not enlightened, but are still understanding, attracted by what he said, and thinking seriously.
However, I have finished this lecture and have said everything that needs to be said.
Only how many people benefited from it, Song Zhishu didn't know, and at the same time he didn't want to know, because he had already done what he should do, and as for those people who came after, he didn't pay attention.
It's not that I don't want to do it again, but if I missed it, I missed it.
With his thoughts at this point, Song Zhishu bowed slightly and slowly walked down the platform without disturbing the people below who were enlightening and understanding.
"Mr. Song."
Chen Jingyun immediately came up to him and saluted directly: "You are really amazing. I will help you do the calculations for this lecture. Counting the people who were attracted later, the total number of people listening to the lecture is three thousand, and you can start it."
At least a hundred people have become enlightened."
Although he did not fully listen to those gentlemen's teachings, but after looking at the enlightened people in the square, who had already exceeded a hundred, he only had admiration for Song Zhishu in his heart. He was obviously only one level higher than himself, but he could do this.
I have been a teacher for some years, but I have not helped as many scholars as Mr. Song in front of me.
"Three thousand people?"
Hearing this, Song Zhishu was stunned and suddenly felt that this number was interesting.
Kong Shengren, the most holy teacher of Dacheng, is said to have three thousand disciples.
Could it be a coincidence?
With his thoughts at this point, Song Zhishu smiled, but he didn't take it to heart: "Since the lecture has been completed, I will go back first."
"Then I'll take you back."
Chen Jingyun spoke immediately. He still admired Song Zhishu to the point of admiration.
In particular, I was also a little annoyed in my heart, why didn't I listen to the whole story when the other party was talking about the way of a gentleman? Even if I couldn't go further, I could have gained a lot of benefits, but it was a pity that I missed it.
Therefore, he thought about building a good relationship with Mr. Song.
Or maybe.
You can also ask others to help you with the tasks that the teacher assigns to you.
Chen Jingyun suddenly thought that after all, he knew Song Zhishu's strength very well, but he did not speak directly and had to think about how to word it first.
"Thank you Mr. Chen."
Song Zhishu didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he just nodded in return, and then left the academy under the leadership of Chen Jingyun.
As for Lin Cheng and others who still stay in the square, they are also attracted by the way of a gentleman. If they can understand it carefully, it is not difficult to cultivate Confucian righteousness.
On the way, Song Zhishu also saw people rushing to Qingzhou Academy, and they seemed to be attracted by the vision of Confucian righteousness.
It's a pity that it's too late to go now.
About half an hour later, the two returned to Yunlingzhai.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for seeing me off. It's been a hard journey." Song Zhishu said and invited the other party to come in and have a rest.
"Then Mr. Song, you're welcome." After hearing this, Chen Jingyun, who had been struggling with how to speak, his eyes lit up, and he handed over his hands and walked into the room.
He has never seen the demon before, and he doesn't know how strong it is. Although he is a Taoist and Confucianist, he doesn't have much confidence. If Song Zhishu joins him, it will undoubtedly be much better.
However, Chen Jingyun did not mention it directly, but said: "Mr. Song, for your lecture this time, our Qingzhou Academy will send you the spiritual stone within three days to express our gratitude. Please wait patiently."
"It doesn't matter, it's not urgent."
Song Zhishu poured the other party a cup of tea and said there was no need to worry.
One Hundred Thousand Spiritual Stones is indeed a lot, but it is obviously nothing to Qingzhou Academy, and it is impossible to lose its credibility because of this.
Immediately, he looked at Chen Jingyun, thought for a moment, and then asked, "I noticed that Mr. Chen was worried along the way. Is there something he wants to say to me?"
Song Zhishu had also seen the other party's behavior along the way. There must be something going on and it was related to him, but it seemed difficult to say it directly. Now that he had arrived at the inn and saw that Chen Jingyun was still talking about him, Song Zhishu had no choice but to ask directly.
"Sure enough, I can't hide this from Mr. Song."
After hearing this, Chen Jingyun felt a little embarrassed.
Secretly, it turned out that his self-cultivation had not yet reached its peak, and he was actually noticed.
But now that he had said it, he was not a coy person, so he took a deep breath and stood up at the same time: "Mr. Song, I really have something that I hope you can help me with. My master gave me a matter and asked me to represent him.
Qingzhou Academy has accepted the mission of Wanshi Pavilion to deal with the demon incident, but I am afraid that I am not strong enough and will fail my master's trust, so I hope Mr. Song can go with me."
At this point, Chen Jingyun felt something was wrong and immediately spoke again: "Of course, if Mr. Song doesn't want to, I won't force it."
After all, you are asking for something from someone, and you are still facing an unknown monster. You can’t ask for others’ consent, right?
This is not what scholars should do.
"I see."
Song Zhishu heard this and understood.
No wonder the latter behaved like that along the way. It turned out to be something about demons.
But it's normal. For a person who has never seen a demon before, he really has no idea about these things.
After thinking for a moment, Song Zhishu looked at Chen Jingyun and said slowly: "Since Mr. Chen has a request, and I really want to see the demon, if the time comes to accept the mission, I will go with Mr. Chen."
His current strength is not strong, but he is indeed very interested in the demon Zhishu Song, and he had wanted to go over and take over the mission of Wanshi Pavilion before, but he has never been able to get around to it.
Moreover, Song Zhishu has also heard that the demon incident is under control and the mission issued by Wanshi Pavilion will not be too dangerous.
So this time is also an opportunity for experience.
Now that someone invites me, and I am someone I know, I naturally accept the invitation happily.
"Thank you Mr. Song."
Hearing this, Chen Jingyun was immediately overjoyed and quickly bowed again.
"Mr. Chen, you are so polite." Song Zhishu returned the favor. It was not a big deal, and he had his own intention. He was just following the trend.
Immediately, the two chatted for a while, but most of them were about Chen Jingyun's admiration for Song Zhishu.
After all, what happened today was indeed beyond his expectation.
Coupled with his previous experiences, Chen Jingyun admired the person in front of him more and more.
However, Qingzhou Academy still had some matters to deal with, so Chen Jingyun did not stay long and left soon after.
And there was only one person left in the room, Song Zhishu.
He stood in the room, not practicing, but recalling the content of today's lecture to see if there were any mistakes. At the same time, he repeatedly understood the way of a gentleman until he finally understood everything and then sat up cross-legged.
But just when Song Zhishu was calming down and preparing to practice, he suddenly discovered that the Confucian righteousness in his body had changed.
