Chapter 119: The Master's Question: Let all people in heaven have books to read and understand
Let Me Go, Painted Skin Fairy, Chapter 119: Master’s Question: Everyone in the world has books to read and reasons to understand
The voice sounded from the top of Shushan.
But at this moment, everyone in Jixia Academy heard this voice clearly.
"Student Jiang Yu'er, please see Master!"
"Please see Master!"
Liu Hongyi, Tang Jiezhi and Li Zeguang were very excited.
Liang Wan'er and Cai Wenji showed their admiration.
…
Between mountains of books.
Luo Yu, Gargamel, Meng Xiao, Kong Xilai... all looked up.
…
At the bottom of the mountain of books.
Bai Mei opened her eyes half-conscious.
"He has really reached the top of the mountain of books... It was worth my while!"
…
On the observation deck.
The three scholars looked towards the white river on the mountain of books.
"It's been three hundred years! Finally someone has climbed to the top of this mountain of books!"
"Yes, Master, I'm afraid I haven't thought of it, right?"
…
Everyone's eyes are on the top of the mountain.
No one noticed that there was a lonely figure standing in the Hundred Flowers Array on the seventh floor.
His name is Jiang Chenshui!
…
The top of the mountain of books.
Jiang Chaoge slowly raised his head after giving the Confucian salute.
When he looked at the empty mountain top again, an old man wearing a gray-white Confucian shirt had already sat on the ground without knowing it.
The old man's skin was ruddy, his hair and beard were all white, and his long eyebrows and beard made him look like an extraordinary fairy.
In front of the old man, there was a square tea table.
Hot tea has been brewed on the table.
"Sit down, you made this tea, I'll taste it first." The Master spoke, his tone full of peace, and he looked like a loving old man.
"I don't have tea leaves, this tea was brewed by Master." Jiang Chaoge took two steps forward and sat on the ground.
"Otherwise." The Master shook his head: "I just followed your actions to make the tea, so you still have to make the tea."
"That's it." Jiang Chaoge stopped arguing.
He sat at the table.
He picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a small sip, letting the tea reverberate in his tongue. Then, he took a long breath and said, "The tea I made is really good."
The master glanced at him and said slowly: "That's because my tea is good enough."
A kind master who also cares about details? When Jiang Chaoge was thinking about it, a modest smile appeared on his face: "The student asks the master to come up with a question."
"Well, I heard that you had met the Queen Mother before coming to Jixia Academy?" The master took another sip of his own.
Jiang Chaoge nodded. His guess was correct. The Queen Mother had indeed met the Master: "Yes, the student and the Queen Mother met once at Ruyifang."
"The Queen Mother does not want you to enter Jixia Academy." The Master said again.
"Students know."
"Then why do you still come?" Master asked again.
Jiang Chaoge looked at the master, knowing that this was the real problem.
Confucianism is about personal luck. According to common sense, after passing the imperial examination, you must enter the court and serve as a palace. Offending the Queen Mother... is not wise.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "Because three hundred years ago, the First Emperor gathered hundreds of families in Jixia, and I wanted to come and have a look."
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at the magnificent scene three hundred years ago, and look at the ancient books collected by Jixia Academy."
"Well, what else is there?" The master's eyes were fixed on Jiang Chaoge, as if he wanted to see through people's hearts: "Do you just want to come and see the borrowings?"
Jiang Chaoge didn't think much this time and answered directly: "Jixia Academy has a reputation that goes back thousands of years. In addition to reading the scriptures, students also want to use the name of Jixia Academy to achieve the reputation of a bachelor of the four realms."
"Haha, you are honest!" The Master nodded: "Now that you have entered the four realms and climbed to the top of the Book Mountain, what happened today will soon spread throughout the world, and your reputation will inevitably be even higher.
It’s not too far away from entering the Fifth Realm, so what are you going to do next?”
Next,
What to do?
Jiang Chaoge really didn't think about this problem before he climbed the mountain of books.
Is cultivating an immortal the next thing to do?
It definitely counts.
But it would definitely be wrong to directly answer 'cultivate immortality', because the path to immortality is not in front of him, at least for the time being, he is not an immortal yet.
So, Jiang Chaoge thought for a while and replied: "I want to open a bookstore."
"Bookstore?"
This answer is obviously something that the Master has not thought of, even though he is the Master!
Therefore, after being silent for a long time, the master asked: "I have read your "On River Management", and now you have climbed up the mountain of books and become a painter of the four realms! It is the time when you are at your peak, if you can borrow "On River Management"
"When you enter the court, you will surely do something great and achieve a higher personal reputation."
The meaning is obvious. You should join the Ministry of Industry and gain great reputation in the name of river management!
Jiang Chaoge replied: "Opening a bookstore does not affect my other things. I can let other people help manage it, and I already have good candidates."
The master nodded, then shook his head: "Having said that, why do you insist on opening a bookstore? This bookstore... is just a merchant's trail."
This time, Jiang Chaoge did not follow the master's wishes and answered directly, but directly denied: "Students do not think that bookstores are a merchant's lane. I think bookstores are not a lane, but a real avenue."
"Oh? The bookstore is the main road? Please tell me and listen."
"good."
Jiang Chaoge nodded and began to say: "There are tens of millions of people in Da Qin, but how many talented people are there? In fact, there are not many, they are only one in ten thousand.
The reason is naturally because not many people have the opportunity to study.
The world often says that stupid people cannot be civilized, but in fact it is because the common people have not read books and do not understand the truth!
Three hundred years ago, the First Emperor gathered hundreds of schools in Jixia. For a time, it attracted the admiration of students from all over the world, and everyone came to Jixia Academy one after another. Only then did hundreds of schools flourish.
But in this prosperous age, the beneficiaries are ultimately limited.
Nowadays, Jixia Academy is still standing in Xianyang, but Baijia is no longer there when it was prosperous. I think this is not Jixia's fault, nor is it the responsibility of Baijia.
I borrow the words of the Legalists and say: This is the rule of man, not the rule of law!
The so-called rule of man means that prosperity is due to people. The First Emperor's ambitions led to the prosperity of hundreds of schools of thought. However, after the ascension of the First Emperor, rule of man was no longer there.
I want to implement the "rule of law", open a bookstore, gather hundreds of academic schools in one place, and teach it to the world.
I do not want to be a master in the world, I just want to use the bookstore as a guide to spread the principles of hundreds of schools of thought to the world, so that everyone in the world can have books to read and understand the principles.
Even if one day I am no longer alive, as long as the bookstore still exists, the world's scholarship will not disappear or be lost, because the truth is already in people's hearts!
The role of bookstores is not to do with merchants, but to provide the world with a way to study. Therefore, students feel that bookstores are not a small way, but a avenue to spread culture to the world.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
What do you think, Master?"
When Jiang Chaoge said this, he looked at the Master seriously.
But the master in front of him suddenly froze.
The number one person under the Immortal, the person who stood at the pinnacle of Great Qin's martial arts, was just stunned in place at this moment.
He didn't even notice that the tea in the cup had gone cold.
Therefore, Jiang Chaoge could only ask again: "Master, what do you think?"
The master's hand trembled slightly, and he finally came to his senses.
Whispers kept coming from his mouth.
"Let everyone in heaven have books to read and reason to understand... As long as the bookstore remains, the world's scholarship will not dissipate or be lost, because the truth is already in people's hearts!"
"Okay, what a good sentence, so that everyone in the world can read books and understand reason!" At this moment, the master's face suddenly became rosy.
Jiang Chaoge laughed. Sure enough, academics depend on 'argument'.
The truths he said are actually copied from "Everyone in the world is like a dragon", but he just changed the way of expression.
This is big vision!
Even the Master could not argue with him on the vision.
…
After a while.
The master's expression finally became calm again: "Jiang Jieyuan has such a vision, which I did not expect. However, it is too difficult to realize this vision."
"Yes, it's very difficult!" Jiang Chaoge nodded: "All scholars regard their own academic knowledge as inheritance and treasure, and they will never teach it to others easily."
"Since you know, is this bookstore still open?"
"Yes." Jiang Chaoge nodded: "When I leave Jixia Academy, I will visit all the schools in the world and single-handedly convince hundreds of schools to show their scholarship to the world!"
"You want to go to the gates of hundreds of families and persuade them to offer the Dharma to the world?!" The master was stunned again.
"Yes, Master, are you willing to support me?" Jiang Chaoge nodded seriously.
"Oh? How do you want me to support you?"
"For example: first let me go into the 'library' of Jixia Academy and make a copy of all the books in the library?" Jiang Chaoge said with a smile.
"You want to copy the borrowings from the library?" Master, I have never seen anyone else make such a request so openly and honestly.
"Yes, if I come to the door empty-handed, hundreds of families are afraid that they will beat me out? But if I have a loan from Jixia Academy, it will be different. I can exchange it with them."
"..." Master.
Good guy!
Use the borrowed money from Jixia Academy to exchange with other schools?!
"Master?"
"Ahem, let me think about it."
"Okay, then have I passed Master's test now?" Jiang Chaoge blinked.
"this……"
The master really wanted to say something, you are a thief who wants to steal books, how can I let you go? However, he obviously couldn't say this.
He also thought about whether he should come up with another question to embarrass Jiang Yuer.
However, after listening to Jiang Yuer's remarks, he really couldn't find any questions to ask.
Ask about benevolence and justice?
Ask about etiquette?
Ask about moderation?
Do these still make sense in the face of Jiang Yuer's vision?
The master was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "The tea you made is indeed good... Since you invited me to drink tea, you can count it as a pass."
Jiang Chaoge immediately stood up respectfully and saluted the Master: "Student, you have met the teacher! From now on, the student will definitely ask the teacher for advice sooner or later!"
"..." The master's eyes widened.
Do you want him to teach you personally?
He hasn't said yet that he will accept Jiang Yu'er as his student!
But then I thought about it...
The master finally felt relieved and nodded: "Okay."
Finished.
The Master stood up from the tea table and looked at the white mist below: "Xiao Yu'er, do you know why Jixia Academy moved to Xianyang more than three hundred years ago?"
Xiao Yu'er? This title... is always inexplicably familiar!
Jiang Chaoge didn't care and replied: "If my guess is correct, the First Emperor should have reached an agreement with Jixia Academy. He respected Jixia as his national palace, and Jixia Academy will protect Xianyang City for him!"
"Oh, you are quite smart, but you only guessed half of it." The Master smiled.
"half?"
"Look at the white mist on the top of the mountain. What's unusual about it?"
"There is obviously white mist on the top of the mountain, but you can see everything in Xianyang City. This white mist may not be the real white mist."
"Well, this white mist is the 'national destiny' of Great Qin!"
"This white mist is the national destiny of Great Qin?!"
"Of course, it is not the real destiny of the country, it is just the 'shadow' of the destiny of the Qin Dynasty. If the white fog is thick, the destiny of the country will be prosperous, and if the fog is dark, the destiny of the country will decline." Confucius explained.
"That's it." Jiang Chaoge understood.
The agreement between the First Emperor and Jixia Academy was not to let Jixia Academy guard Xianyang, but to let Jixia Academy help him guard the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty.
Although this white mist is not the real national destiny, it is a "projection" of the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty. The rise and fall of the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty can be observed.
I was just about to ask more about the First Emperor’s ascension three hundred years ago...
The Master suddenly looked below the white mist: "It seems that Xiao Yu'er is not the only one who climbed to the top of the mountain today!"
Am I not the only one coming up? Could it be that... Jiang Chenshui is coming up too?
Jiang Chaoge also looked down.
I saw a white light flying up like a thunderous giant.
That's a sword!
The sword that was originally carried on Jiang Chenshui's body!
…
On the observation deck.
The eyes of the three great scholars were startled by the sword light.
Because, the sword actually flew upward from the seventh floor to the top of the Book Mountain, and directly broke through the white river of clouds and mist that represented the national destiny.
"What kind of sword is that?" Gu Miaobi said instinctively.
"I don't know, but I think... Master should know." Lin Quping shook his head.
Fang Xiaojing narrowed his eyes: "If you want to climb to the top of Shushan, you can only get the master's permission, but the master obviously won't agree to fly up with a sword."
"What do you mean?" Gu Miaoxiao grasped the key point.
"That sword... probably contains the destiny of the country!"
"A sword that contains the fate of the country?"
"..."
…
Between mountains of books.
Luo Yu also saw the sword flying up the top of the mountain.
A sword flew to the top of the mountain?
However, Jiang Chenshui hasn't boarded it yet?
What does this mean?
She looked at Gargamel and Meng Xiao, because from their expressions, she vaguely felt that they should know something.
"Gargamel, what's going on?"
Gargamel did not answer Luo Yu's question immediately, but looked at Meng Xiao: "You lost, Jiang Chenshui didn't climb to the top of the mountain, he just threw a sword!"
"If the sword goes up, people will go up sooner or later." Meng Xiao replied: "You are the one who loses!"
"What exactly do you know?" Gargamel asked again.
"I only know that the sword on Jiang Chenshui's body is extraordinary." After Meng Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Gargamel and said, "What do you know? The Grand Master asked you to come here. You can't really come here to watch the fun, right?"
Gargamel didn't answer, but just asked again: "I'm very surprised. My teacher knows the five elements and knows yin and yang. Even if he knows a little bit, it's normal, but you are a military strategist... Why did you know that there was something wrong with Jiang Chenshui's sword? Who told you
of?"
"In exchange, you tell me the purpose of your coming here, and I will tell you who told me that there is something wrong with that sword." Meng Xiao replied.
"Okay, you say it first!" Gargamel was not fooled.
"Okay, it was Mr. Di from the Night Detective Department who told me." Meng Xiao said.
"Mr. Dee!" Gargamel's green bean-like eyes suddenly widened, and then he nodded thoughtfully: "The Night Detective Department is responsible for suppressing evil spirits and supervising all officials. Mr. Dee is cunning enough... It's normal to know that
, But why did Mr. Dee ask you to come? Instead of asking the night watchman to come? "
"This is Jixia Academy, Master is here, do you think Dick will let the night watchman in?" Meng Xiao looked at Gargamel like a fool.
"That's true." Gargamel was a little surprised.
"Now it's your turn, tell me what is your real purpose in coming to Jixia Academy?"
"It's so funny, you've already said it, why should I tell you?" Gargamel said, preparing to run down the mountain without any hesitation.
However, he couldn't run away.
Because Meng Xiao seemed to have reached this point a long time ago and stopped him in advance.
"Gargamel, stop dawdling, this matter is of great importance. Judge Dee asked me to come here not only to watch the battle, but also to do other things. If you do the same thing as me, we can cooperate!"
"Really? You swear! Did you really come here to listen to Duke Dee's order, not your father's order?" Gargamel was still very cautious.
"Okay, I swear!" Meng Xiao immediately raised three fingers.
"Okay, I believe you, but I don't know much." After Gargamel finished speaking, he continued: "My teacher Dao Men came here today, probably to pick up some things."
"Get something? Get what?"
"I don't know what it is specifically, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com However, you should know one thing. When Jixia Academy was first established, it actually respected Taoism. In the early days, the Confucian Confucian saint also worshiped Laozi.
Although more than three hundred years have passed, there are no more Taoists in Jixia Academy."
After Gege said this, he continued: "People from the Taoist sect gathered in the capital a few days ago. Five of the seven Taoist disciples came. The teacher made calculations and calculated that there is a critical situation today, so my teacher asked me to come here."
"What are you doing here?" Meng Xiao asked again.
"Nonsense, what else can I do? I can't defeat Jiang Chenshui, and I can't defeat the Seven Sons of Xuanmen. Of course I'm here to deliver a message!
!”
"..." Meng Xiao was stunned for a moment.
Inexplicably, it makes sense!
So, Gargamel asked bitterly: "What about you? Are you here to deliver a message too?"
"Do you think I'm the same as you?" Meng Xiao glanced at him with disdain, and then said: "I am a military strategist. Do you know what a military strategist is?"
"I don't understand, can you tell me?"
"A military strategist is based on formations, don't you understand?"
"Oh, you said it this way...I seem to understand a little bit, you mean you are here to set up the formation?"
"That's right. Now it seems that although your and my goals are not exactly the same, our goals are the same. I'll give you a chance to help me."
"What?"
"Don't your Yin Yang family have many treasures? Help me!"
