Chapter 15 A gentleman hides his weapons in his body
The next day, the three members of the demon-slaying team followed Li Changye's advice and did not go anywhere. They stayed in the inn to meditate so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.
I don’t know whether it’s because the [Devil-Slaying Sword Intent], [God’s Restoration Technique], and the “Secret Technique of Shangqing Liujia” given to them by the girl Peach Blossom God are too suitable for them, or because they first practiced in the temple, Ming
There is some kind of comprehension bonus in the dark, and the three of them have already gained a glimpse of the three newly acquired sword techniques and have mastered them.
Guo Hengbei even stepped into the fifth realm from the late stage of the fourth realm last night because of his comprehension of the [Devil-Slaying Sword Intent], and became a warrior in the Ninggang Realm.
From then on, he unleashed his fist, and even if he faced monks from the same realm, he would no longer be at a disadvantage.
It's just that in the current small town, the skills of the five realms are not enough to settle down.
After Li went to have breakfast, he led Xiao Qianjun out.
He once read a travel note introducing the scenery of Linggui Town in "Records of Strange Towns in Beizhou". The article said that there was an abandoned tower in the northwest of the town.
I don’t know who built that tower when. Everything inside the tower has long since decayed, and the tower body has long been in disarray. No one has repaired it, but it has survived for thousands of years.
There is a forest of steles in front of the pagoda. Most of the steles have been eroded by the years and have been destroyed. However, the few remaining steles and the words on them still contain meaningful meanings.
It is suspected to have been left behind by calligraphers.
Li went to look for him and pay homage to his predecessors.
Coming out of Pinganfang, walking north along Xiangfu Street, when passing by Tianyu Lane, I suddenly heard the sound of reading in my ears.
"Chaos first opened, and the universe began to be established."
"The light and clear air that floats upward is the sky; the heavy and turbid air that condenses downward is the earth."
"The sun, moon and five stars are called the Seven Governments; the heaven, earth and people are called the Three Talents. The sun is the ancestor of all yangs, and the moon is the symbol of taiyin..."
Li Chaoyi and Xiao Qianjun looked at each other and couldn't help but walk in the direction of the sound of reading.
Soon I saw a slightly dilapidated school. The school had a courtyard surrounded by a half-high earthen wall and a humble gatehouse.
There is a half-broken couplet in ink on the gate:
A good scholar’s understanding is not far away;
There is no limit to the happiness in famous teachings.
Li Chaoyi and Xiao Qianjun gently opened the door and went in. When they came to the courtyard, they saw more than a dozen Meng children in the school inside, who were studying "Kindergarten Learning Qionglin" with a gentleman in a long gown who was about forty years old.
Li Xianyue watched from a distance and did not come forward to disturb them, but the gentleman still noticed them.
Seeing that Li was dressed as a Confucian scholar, he asked the children to read by themselves first, put down their textbooks and walked out.
Li Xianyue cupped his fists and apologized: "Sorry, I was passing by Tianyu Lane and heard the sound of children reading. I couldn't help but come over and take a look. I disturbed you sir!"
The teacher bowed his hands and returned the greeting: "It's okay. Confucius said: It's a great pleasure to have friends from far away. Brother, please come this way!"
"Thank you sir!"
Li Qianyi and Xiao Qianjun followed the teacher to the back hall.
The back hall is also very simple, with just a table and wooden benches, and a self-written couplet on the wall:
Literary skills can replace the bones, but the skills can be used;
Learning to be poor comes from having no doubts.
From this hall and the couplet, we can see the character of this teacher. Of course, it can also be seen that the situation is not so good.
"The house is simple and crude, which makes me laugh." After serving tea, the teacher introduced himself, "I am Liu Yuchen, whose pseudonym is Chaoyu. I haven't asked you your name yet?"
"I don't dare, Hanshan Li has passed away, his name has been updated, I have met Brother Liu!"
"Hanshan?" The teacher was very surprised, "But Hanshan Academy?"
"Exactly."
"It turns out that a high-ranking scholar from the academy is here. Liu did not go far to welcome me. Please forgive me sir!" When the teacher heard that it was Hanshan Academy, he quickly bowed to him again.
Hanshan Academy is one of the most famous Confucian academies in Gezhou in the north. For ordinary Confucian scholars, meeting the worldly disciples of Hanshan Academy is like meeting a heavenly guest.
As a poor teacher in a small town, Liu Yuchen was not even worried.
Li Chaoyi hurriedly held his hand to prevent him from bowing down.
"Brother Liu, you are too polite. You are a scholar, and I am also a scholar. We are both disciples of Confucianism, so why are we so superior to each other? When we meet by chance, we should treat each other as brothers, and judge elders by age."
Liu Yuchen was lifted up, but he was still a little embarrassed.
Li Changyi joked: "Brother Liu, you are older than me and your level is higher than mine. If you really want to worship me, it is me who should worship you. You are not waiting for me here on purpose, are you?"
A higher realm?
Liu Yuchen calmly looked at Li Xiangye, and was surprised to find that this was really the case.
He is a Tibetan Artifact Realm of the Three Realms, but Li Qianyi, who comes from Hanshan Academy, only has one.
"This...Brother Li, are you from Hanshan Lower Courtyard?"
"The House of Lords."
"Since it is the Upper House, then why is the realm so..."
Li Chaoyi said casually: "Who said that if you are low-level, you can't walk in the world? Brother Liu, as a person who always lives in the market, is he so pedantic?"
Liu Yuchen was speechless and couldn't help but look at the other party carefully.
Soon, I discovered that the disciple of the Hanshan Academy in front of me had a pure and pure temperament. Although he was only in the first realm, his demeanor was leisurely and showed calmness and confidence.
His detached and refined appearance is far beyond the comparison of him, a teacher of three realms in a small town.
He couldn't help but said with shame: "I'm blind, I dare to ask Brother Li, are you representing Hanshan Academy and coming to Linggui Town to seek opportunities?"
"Is that so? Brother Chaoyu also knows that an opportunity is about to arise in this town?"
Liu Yuchen sighed and said with a wry smile: "How can the humble people of the small town be compared with the great geniuses from all over the world? I only noticed it occasionally because I have lived in the small town for a long time. Like the singing cicada, I know the summer, and the grass and trees know the autumn.
"
"I feel ashamed to say that I have been studying and pursuing Taoism for more than thirty years since I was enlightened. It can be said that I have not been careful or diligent, but I have been stuck in the three realms of treasures and have never been able to break through. I have long given up the intention of climbing up and just sit in the school.
Teach a few young boys and spend the rest of your life chatting."
The teacher, who is still young, is the most contented and elegant age in a scholar's life, but his face has a weathered look, and his temples are also slightly freckles.
It's sad.
Li Qingyi comforted him and said: "The Book of Changes says: A gentleman hides his weapons in his body and waits for them to be used when the time comes. The third level of my Confucian sect's possession of weapons is to ask me and other Confucian disciples to calmly cultivate their weapons and wait for the same thing every day."
When the wind blows up, it will naturally fly like a roc in the sky, soaring up to ninety thousand miles. Please don’t give up, Brother Chaoyu.”
Liu Yuchen put away his thoughts and bowed to express his thanks: "Thank you so much for your kind words, brother Xinxin! Brother Xinxin, if you want to seek opportunities in this small town, I have one thing to say to you: Tianze belongs to the people, so we should treat them kindly."
"Thank you, Brother Chaoyu!"
The two scholars, who were very different in age, sat down and talked for a while.
Some students came over to ask the teacher a question, so Li Changyue said goodbye and left.
"Senior Brother, this Mr. Liu has a good demeanor. I think he will be promoted to the Fourth Realm of Objects very soon." As soon as he left the school, Xiao Qianjun whispered in Li Chaoyi's ear.
Just now, she had been waiting quietly by the side, listening to the discussion between the senior brother and the teacher, and was responsible for adding tea.
She really felt that Mr. Liu had a good demeanor, after all, he even had such a good name.
"Right, senior brother?"
Li Xiangye smiled and touched her little head.
Just as he was about to speak, a shout suddenly came from the street: "Han Xiangkong, the successor of the Mingshan Sword Sect, is facing off against Yin Yin, the successor of the Broken Blade Sect. They are over there on Luotong Street. Everyone, go quickly!"
Immediately, countless figures flew from all directions and rushed to Luotong Street at high speed.
"Elder brother, why don't we go over and take a look?"
Xiao Qianjun's eyes were bright and she wanted to follow her.
