"The Literary Sage's literary spirit is so majestic that the spirit and splendor of his writings are so high that they can even suppress ghosts and gods. Although there is only a small piece of paper left, not even a complete text, it is the real pen and ink of the Literary Sage.
This is the gift I want to give you."
The historian sighed and said:
"Yang Ji, today's liberal arts are in decline. Although the liberal arts examinations are held every three years and have never been abolished, they are still attached to the form and exist in name only. I don't blame you if you want to practice martial arts. I just hope you don't slow down your efforts in civil education.
."
"The pen and ink of the literary saint hides a huge secret, which is related to the 'long river of majesty' in the prosperous age of literature and art. As long as you can understand the fragments of the pen and ink of the literary saint, the articles you write will naturally produce awe-inspiring aura, and maybe you can communicate with the underworld.
The 'long river of majesty' in the underworld brings the once brilliant literary and Taoist age back to life!"
"This matter is related to the whole world of literature and art. The most suitable candidate should be me. Unfortunately, I am old and have more than enough ambition but not enough strength, so I can only count on you."
After saying this, the historian let out a long sigh and was filled with emotion.
"Literary Saint's Pen and Ink" is such a precious thing. Even if it is just a fragment, it is not trivial. How could it be given away so easily, and the person entrusted to it is still a teenager!
But historians have no choice. The literary spirit in today's world is in decline. Those like Yang Ji who can write literary chapters are already amazing and unique. And those who can express awe-inspiring righteousness in their articles include the historian himself.
, even more so!
The current state of literature is really worrying. And more and more people, like Yang Ji, "emphasize martial arts over literature", or even abandon martial arts over literature. If you miss this one, historians don't know if they can still find someone
, entrust the "literary pen and ink" in your hand.
"The art of literature has a long way to go, but it's better not to cut it off like this!"
The historian felt bitter in his heart.
The more you come into contact with the imperial power, the more you feel anxious about the current culture. "Literary Master"... sounds good, but in fact it is just an enlightenment teacher for the royal children, teaching them how to read.
This is true even for "literary officers", let alone other subordinate civil servants and civil servants!
However, the path of literature and art is not "born this way". How can the way of literature and art, which was once brilliant and brilliant, guide wise kings, determine the destiny of the country, latitude and longitude the world, and benefit all people, be cut off like this!
The historian's thoughts were ups and downs, and Yang Ji was not in peace either.
"A mighty river?"
The light in Yang Ji's eyes flashed, but in his mind he recalled some things that had long been forgotten. Regarding the "Long River of Magnificence", Yang Ji heard it from his "initial teacher".
The so-called "long river of majesty" is produced by the righteous thoughts of countless scholars in the world. Every scholar will produce a little aura of majesty, which has been accumulated by hundreds of millions of "students" in the world from generation to generation, for hundreds of years, tens of millions, and tens of thousands of years.
, forming a vast and boundless "long river of grandeur" belonging to people in the literary and Taoist circles!
This "long river of majesty" can only be seen by scholars. It is the cohesion of justice and uprightness in the world. It is also the source of power that determines the destiny of the country and sweeps away the world. It is also the source of the birth of Wenxing!
There was once a legend that before the destruction of the era, countless literary saints gathered the thoughts of countless people and used unimaginable means to hide this boundless and vast "river of majesty", just waiting for the world to be remade and the opportunity came.
When appropriate, come back to the world again.
As long as someone can summon this hidden "long river of majesty", then the pinnacle of literature and Taoism that once "study to become a saint" will come to the world again!
This statement is too mysterious, so Yang Ji has always regarded it as a legend. After all, there is no way to fully understand even the current era, let alone those worlds separated by an era!
However, now listening to what the historian means, it is obvious that he does not just think it is a legend.
"Teacher, do you mean that the mighty river really exists?"
Yang Jidao.
Although it is a bit sudden and a bit unbelievable, hearing is false and seeing is believing. The pen and ink of the literary saint that was previously thought to be a legend has appeared before our eyes. So why can't the legendary "Long River of Magnificence" exist?
Yang Ji had to seriously think about the authenticity of this issue again.
"I and other writers have been researching for more than ten years. Before us, there were generations of writers who finally all tended to think that the 'Great River' is very likely to really exist. And the evidence in the royal family all points to it.
this."
Shi Shidao.
In terms of the richness of the materials, the collection of various eras, and the richness of the relics of the era, there is generally no more than the royal family of the Han Dynasty. The historian has been a "literary teacher" for more than ten years, and has taught a large number of princes and grandsons.
At the same time, we also used their energy to access a large amount of secret information.
Even this fragment of the literary saint's pen and ink was traced through careful study of the royal family's treasure trove of information.
Yang Ji thought thoughtfully. As a "historian", there was no need to hide this kind of thing from him. Although he still didn't know what evidence it was that allowed the historian to confirm the existence of the "Great River".
But when the matter involved the royal family, the authenticity of this legend immediately became much more obvious.
"Yang Ji, please don't rush to answer the question I asked you before. What do you think? If you take part in the martial arts examination this time and get a place on the list, I won't stop you; and if you fail,
If you don't get a rank in the martial arts examination, then according to the rules of the court, you have to wait for another three years. At that time, it won't be of much significance, and it also proves that you are not necessarily suitable for martial arts. At that time, you can follow me to study literature and art.
how?"
Shi Shidao said that after all, he was still unwilling to give up. It was rare for him to give up so easily when he met someone he liked, and he was always unwilling to do so.
Yang Ji was silent. This time the martial arts examination was of great significance to him. It was related to his life's destiny. He could only succeed and not fail. If he really failed, Yang Ji couldn't imagine how big a blow it would have on him...
"No matter what, I will succeed!"
Yang Ji clenched his fists fiercely and said to himself secretly.
Although what the historian said was reasonable, for Yang Ji, registering for the martial arts examination this time placed too many expectations on him. Before the final results came out, he didn't want to think about these things at all.
"Let me think about it again."
Yang Jidao. He is not someone who gives up easily.
"Haha, that's fine."
The historian smiled and did not press further. Yang Ji also admired Yang Ji's character. Without this character, he would not have been able to write a sentence like "The years are cold, and then the pines and cypresses wither."
"Please collect these fragments of the literary sage's pen and ink."
The historian pointed to the table and said:
"Although I gave this sacred object to you, it is not just for your own good. There is also a selfish part of it. The writings of the Saint of Literary and Ink are closely related to the world's literary education. If you succeed, it will be equivalent to
All the students, scribes, and literary masters in the world have succeeded, which is the success of tens of millions of people, and our literary lineage has also succeeded."
"As long as the prosperous age of literature and art can come again, then all this will become meaningful. And I, even if I die, I will rest in peace. - I hope you will not let me down."
The historian said, looking deeply at Yang Ji.
For the first time in his life, Yang Ji suddenly felt a deep sense of responsibility. The pen and ink of a literary saint is something no one can hope for.
Yang Ji had to admit that when he first saw it, he had the desire to have it for himself. However, when he came back to his senses, he felt a huge pressure.
It is not easy to revive literature and Taoism, and it is even more difficult to recreate the prosperous era of literature and Taoism in which "reading became a saint". The historian sent him this "fragment of the writings and ink of the literary sage", but at the same time it was equivalent to giving up this responsibility.
The inheritance was passed down to him, which had to make Yang Ji feel heavy.
"Thank you teacher, students will definitely encourage you to do the same."
After a moment, Yang Ji took a breath, knelt down deeply, and made his choice.
The historian looked at Yang Ji in front of him and finally showed a smile.
