Bai Song has always been curious about what the two gentlemen in the class were arguing about.
In class today, Bai Song was full of curiosity and little expectation.
But Bai Song's wish was not given in today's class.
Several people gathered around Bai Song, murmuring and plotting to meet Miss Shishi.
The rest of the people have already taken their seats in class.
The two gentlemen came one after another, and Bai Song also took his seat.
There was a change in the podium today. I heard that before there were two gentlemen sharing one table, now there are two tables in the classroom, one person sitting at each table, and everyone is separated by a screen.
The scene was a little funny, and the students couldn't help but laugh.
Master Xuanzang on the left still has the same friendly smile, he is white and fat, and he looks very approachable sitting there.
Yuan Tiangang's face was ashen due to changes, but he remained serious forever. Many students did not dare to make eye contact with him.
No one came to explain the reason for the change, but everyone knew it.
If every day of class is as noisy as the previous two days, the class will be unavailable.
After everyone was seated, Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice: "After discussion with Mr. Yu, starting today, the class will be divided into two classes. Class One said that according to your own wishes, you can choose to become a teacher."
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that the news was a bit sudden, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was reasonable.
It's good to choose one person to attend the class, at least it avoids a lot of disputes.
"Okay, you each make your choice."
Yuan Tiangang stood up, walked to the door of the classroom, and pointed to a small study room opposite.
"If you want to learn Taoism, go to the small study room opposite."
Just as Yuan Tiangang was about to leave, Yu Ji stood up: "Sir, the student still has questions."
"What doubt."
"We have never studied Taoism or Buddhist scriptures, and what we listened to in the past two days was in the dark. Students don't know what is good to study. If after studying Taoism for two days, and suddenly feel that it is not good, can we study it again?
Buddhism?”
Yuan Tiangang's eyes showed a fierce light, and he stared at Yu Ji fiercely: "What a beautiful idea! Taoism emphasizes respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao, and sticking to it till the end. How can there be any reason to give up halfway and switch to another school? You are a man who plays both sides, and is sneaky and sneaky.
Such people are not worthy of entering my Taoist sect! You don’t come to listen to the teachings, I don’t want students like you.”
Yu Ji broke out in a cold sweat, and other students were also a little scared. They felt that Yuan Tiangang was too unreasonable. Everything was on the line. It was just a casual inquiry, so it wasn't like that, right?
Everyone could see that Mr. Yuan had been in a very bad mood after two days of quarreling with Master Xuanzang.
He has a bad temper to begin with, but his temper has become even worse in recent days.
On the other hand, Master Xuanzang, despite his young age, has a much higher character than Mr. Yuan.
Recently I have been scolded by Mr. Yuan a lot, but he always maintains his dignity and does not retaliate directly. He just talks about his own opinions, which are well-founded and well-founded. This often leaves Mr. Yuan speechless.
Seeing this, the students felt that Master Xuanzang was much smarter than Mr. Yuan.
It happened that at this time, Master Xuanzang, who was sitting on the side, put his hands together and said to Amitabha Buddha: "Taoist Master is right. We teach in the college, not to open a forum to recruit disciples, but to simply analyze the classic theories of Buddhism and Taoism. There is no need to go too far.
Emphasis on sectarian views. Of course, it is true that this classmate’s inappropriate words have offended the Taoist priest. Regardless of whether it is a Taoist or a Buddhist, in the end, we prefer disciples who are committed to the end. This classmate, please don’t say such things again in the future.”
Yu Ji awkwardly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
After hearing this, Yuan Tiangang waved his Taoist robe, went to the small study room opposite, closed the door, and looked like he had nothing to do with it.
"This gentleman has such a bad temper! Compared with him, Mr. Gao is as gentle as a little sheep."
Yu Qingqing followed Bai Song, wiped her sweat and complained softly.
The students stood up and prepared to make choices.
Everyone was talking and muttering, it was so lively.
Yu Qingqing pulled Bai Song and asked with a smile: "Which one do you choose?"
Bai Song pointed to the small study: "Taoist."
"Why? That gentleman is scary."
"No why."
"I also choose Taoism, I will choose whichever one you choose, hehe."
Yu Qingqing pulled Bai Song's sleeves with her little hands, smiled so brightly that she showed a pair of small tiger teeth, and she was a straight man killer.
Bai Song bowed his head and refused to look at this girl.
At this time, Cui Xing also came over and asked the same question.
Bai Song still said that he chose Taoism.
Cui Xing objected strongly, lowered his voice and said: "That Taoist priest is not good. He has a bad temper. He argued with the young master the past two days, but when he couldn't get it right, he acted like a shrew. How can the young master be so gentle and gentle?
His posture? The young master is indeed the reincarnation of the golden cicada. He has the sound of Buddha and his wonderful words."
Bai Song looked at Monk Xuanzang and hesitated in his heart. If Yuan Tiangang hadn't criticized him in sixteen words, he would have chosen Xuanzang.
But with those sixteen words of criticism, Bai Song will definitely choose Yuan Tiangang. Only by having more contact can he know what is in his heart.
Bai Song did not explain, but still walked towards the small study room opposite.
Yuan Tiangang had a bad image in the minds of students. Except for Bai Song and Yu Qingqing, no one chose to study with Yuan Tiangang.
This situation is a bit embarrassing.
Jia Ke looked at it and felt something was wrong. Wouldn't this be a slap in Mr. Yuan's face?
Jia Ke was thinking about changing the situation, so he walked to Mr. Gao and said a few words.
The idea is to ask Mr. Gao to intervene and arrange for a few students to listen to Mr. Yuan's lectures.
Mr. Gao did not speak, but Master Xuanzang, who was sitting in the classroom, spoke: "Dear classmates, Taoism has been passed down for thousands of years, and Taoism is broad and profound, with many mysteries. Buddhism has only been spread in China for more than a hundred years, and there are many shortcomings.
Everyone can go and listen to the Taoist Master first. If you are not interested, then come and listen to the young monk’s lecture on Buddhism. All students are always welcome here.”
After everyone heard this, they felt more and more admired. Even though Master Xuanzang was young, his mind and magnanimity were not comparable to those of those who rely on their elders.
It would have been okay if Master Xuanzang didn't say it, but after he did, no one would want to go.
"This..." Jia Ke stood in the middle, a little embarrassed.
Suddenly Yuan Tiangang's voice came from the small study: "If you don't come, you won't come. I'm too lazy to teach!"
Jia Ke shook his head and sighed, then walked up to Bai Song: "Bai Song, think of a way."
"What can I do?"
"Let a few people come and listen to the Taoist Master."
"Why do we need people to come?"
"Mr. Yu has his own intentions. Such a difference in numbers is not Mr. Yu's original intention."
Bai Song nodded and directly called his name: "Cui Xing, Xie Yuan, Changsun Huan, Lu Yao, you guys come here!"
Cui Xing and Xie Yuan ran over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Listen to the Taoist Priest's lecture with me."
"Why?"
Before Bai Song could explain, Changsun Huan and Lu Yao also came over slowly.
Changsun Huan fanned and pointed his nostrils at Bai Song: "What's your tone, kid? Who are you giving orders to?"
"Listen to the Taoist Priest's lecture first."
"Listen to the stinky Taoist priest? Why? This stinky Taoist priest has such a bad temper that I am too lazy to serve him."
"You simply don't understand that when Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, there was no way to teach it."
“What does it mean to be teachable and helpless?”
"When Buddhism entered the Central Plains, it had only doctrines and no methods in the early days. Nowadays, the Buddhist and Taoist schools have many similarities in their methods of opening altars. They are modified from the methods taught by the Taoists and Buddhists. They learned things from the two schools of Buddhism. Is it difficult for them to learn those things?
Scripture? Don’t you just want to learn some mysterious magic? Buddhist magic comes from Taoism, and naturally Taoism is the authentic one.”
"You...are you telling the truth?"
"How can it be false?"
The four of them were hesitant, but after hesitation they nodded.
Counting these four people, a total of six people went to attend classes under Yuan Tiangang, the number of people was six to nine, which was not too ugly.
Then, the six people pushed the door open and entered the small study.
Yuan Tiangang sat in the hall, lit incense, and closed his eyes to rest.
"Sir, let's listen to the class." Bai Song found a seat and sat down and said.
Yuan Tiangang opened his eyes and saw a slight difference in the six people in front of him, and then shook his head: "Among you, this guy is the only one who can persevere. For the other five, I advise you to retreat in spite of the difficulties."
The person Yuan Tiangang refers to as being able to persevere is Bai Song.
The rest of them looked at each other and felt very unhappy as soon as they walked in. They thought to themselves that if Bai Song hadn't said that Taoism was orthodox, they wouldn't have bothered to come!
Still retreating despite the difficulties!
"Is this stinky Taoist priest really kicking his nose in the face?"
Changsun Huan turned around and was about to leave. Bai Song pulled him and asked him to sit down first.
After Changsun Huan sat down, he closed the fan and crossed his legs: "Mr. Yuan, I've seen you making endless noises in the past two days, but you haven't shown any real ability. I'm here just to make this kid wake up as soon as possible, even if it's a Taoist
My Taoism is orthodox, and I won’t learn anything by following you.”
Changsun Huan patted Bai Song on the shoulder, looking like he was obsessed with you.
"Close the door." Yuan Tiangang said suddenly.
Yu Qingqing behind her closed the door as instructed.
Several people were locked in the small study room. Yuan Tiangang looked at the eldest son Huan, and smiled after a moment: "You have swollen eyebrows, which means you are not welcome in the clan. You have two moles at the corners of your eyes, and you are the second eldest child in the family. The boss robs you of space, and you are everywhere.
Being suppressed and having Yintang gathering energy is a sign of feeling depressed. Being such a dandy is just to protect yourself, because you are afraid that if you perform too well, your eldest brother in the family will feel threatened and he will have murderous intentions towards you."
"You, you... what are you talking nonsense about?!"
Yuan Tiangang sneered: "Whether it's nonsense or not, you know it yourself."
Bai Song saw that Chang Sun Huan's face was ashen, and he was afraid that he was really being told.
Changsun Huan picked up the fan again, fanned it vigorously, and asked Bai Song in a low voice: "Tell me, what kind of magic method did this man use? Haven't you seen a lot?"
Bai Song calmly shook his head and frowned slightly.
Changsun Huan looked at it and his expression became solemn.
The remaining few people also saw some clues and felt that this man had a bad temper, but he seemed to be quite capable.
Yuan Tiangang didn't say much: "Since you want to learn Taoism, let's learn to draw talismans first."
…
Drawing talismans is the first lesson for many people.
The course is simple, just like painting. Whatever the teacher draws, everyone follows suit.
It's even simpler than painting landscapes.
But what everyone doesn't understand is that this simple thing of drawing a talisman has to be repeated over and over again.
By the end of the day, everyone had drawn hundreds of pictures, but no one knew their purpose.
It was bearable on the first day, but a little overwhelming on the second day.
In Bai Song's class, besides drawing talisman, Changsun Huan couldn't stand it anymore in the afternoon of the next day, dropped his pen and left, switching to Buddhism.
The Buddhist study courses are also very similar. Instead of drawing symbols, they are lectures on scriptures, and various unfamiliar scriptures are constantly taught.
The entire academy is full of Amitabha and other things all day long.
I'm so annoyed that all the birds in the college are gone.
But after the two gentlemen separated, there was no sound of quarreling in the college, and everyone was at ease.
On the third day, it was supposed to be the college's holiday.
All the students who listened to Buddhist scriptures went out to play and relax.
There were also a few people who took Bai Song and said they wanted to find Miss Shishi.
But Yuan Tiangang did not give the remaining five people a holiday. In addition to the daily talisman drawing, he also put forward new requirements for several people - fasting!
Inedia, to put it simply, means not eating and only drinking water, which lasts for a week.
Cui Xing and Xie Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, so they bid farewell to Taoism, switched to Buddhism, and went out to play with their classmates.
Lu Yao was weak-minded and wanted to quit, but when he saw Bai Song endure it, he didn't want to lose to Bai Song again, so he didn't say anything.
On days off, there are only four people left in the entire academy.
Even Mr. Lian and Jia Ke are not here.
Three students and the book boy White Bee.
The most annoying thing was that White Bee was eating alone while the three of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, but they couldn't take even a bite.
In the quiet college, three people were meditating with their eyes closed in the small courtyard.
Bai Feng was eating in a small pavilion in the distance and watching the three of them.
Lu Yao's stomach rumbled, causing Yu Qingqing to complain: "Can you stop screaming, it makes me so hungry."
Lu Yao was dejected, with dark circles under his eyes: "You think I think so! Hey, I mean Bai Song, why are you carrying it here? Is it possible that you really want to learn Taoism and become an immortal? Then Yuan Tiangang is obviously just playing with us!"
Bai Song's spirit was acceptable: "If you can't stand it, you don't have to play with me."
"Don't even think about it! I will never admit defeat this time! If you can persist, so can I!"
"Yu Qing, what about you? This is the first day."
"I...I have to persist. But...what's the use of learning these things? I don't want to become a monk or a Taoist priest."
"Now, I seem to understand what sir means."
"Sir? Which sir?"
"Old Yu."
"Grandpa? What's the point of grandpa arranging this?"
"There are too many contradictions between the two schools of Buddhism. It is not easy to coexist in a small academy. In fact, Mr. Yu's intention is not that we should learn Buddhism or Taoism. What he wants is just
Let us have more witness and experience. After this period of life between us, when we are officials in the court and each has his own master, this is the situation we face today. Mr. Yu still wants us to be compatible, even if
Even if our positions are different, we must learn to be harmonious."
"Huh!" Lu Yao snorted coldly, "Don't worry, even if we are enemies in the future, even if you and I are starving together today, I will not kill you. Sir, if you want us to get along, I won't even want to see you.
, and will also comply with Sir’s wishes.”

I’m getting an infusion, so I’ll update a big chapter, sorry.
