Today is the day of the civil service examination. Lu Yufu and Jiang Yan are walking together. As for Su Kou, he has not shown his face for half a month since he entered Xiandu Mountain.
After getting to know Su Kou, Jiang Qian realized that being a pharmacist was also an extremely dangerous profession. He wouldn't be surprised if this guy suddenly died suddenly one day.
Wen Mansion is located between the mountains of Lingyue and Xiandu. This is the first time for Jiang Yan to come to Wen Mansion. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. From a distance, he can see the bright tiles, glazed tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. Everything reveals the ancient charm but has no trace of it.
A luxurious building.
There are hills with unique shapes outside Wenfu, with a depression in the middle and bulges on both sides. They are named Bijia Hill because of their shape. They are also one of the most typical and representative buildings of Wenfu.
Seeing Bijia Mountain means that you have entered the scope of Wenfu. This mountain has been specially repaired and is located in the center of a huge square.
It is built with Yunzhou's unique marble for dozens of miles in radius. The cross-section of the marble has black and white patterns, and it is laid on the ground and connected into a whole.
Standing here, people seem to be in a huge natural ink painting, with white clouds and blue sky above their heads, and Beacon Mountain is a scene in the ink painting.
"This is one of the eight scenic spots in the Qing Dynasty, the landscape pen stand. Standing here is like a person in a painting!"
Jiang Yan even saw that the ink painting scenery under his feet was not static, but showed a dynamic flow, which was very visually impactful.
In front of Bijia Mountain, there are three stone walls, on which are written the mottoes left by the three generations of Wenfu masters to the students of Wenfu to manage the world and cultivate their moral integrity.
Jiang Gu has read many such mottos, such as those with black hair who don't know how to study hard and those with gray hair who regret studying too late. Another example is that diligence is better than hard work but playfulness is a waste of time. Actions are accomplished by thinking and destroyed by following.
However, the mottos on the three stone walls of Wen Mansion were somewhat different. After reading the words written with flying dragons and phoenixes on the first stone wall, Jiang Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"The ancient saints and sages have all made great contributions to heaven and earth, and it is appropriate to respect them. However, since ancient times, I have been a human being."
He quickly came to the second stone wall and said similar words.
"Don't be a slave to the ancient sages, don't be a slave to the world, don't be a slave to circumstances, don't be a slave to lust. Don't be afraid of destiny, don't be afraid of great people, don't be afraid of the words of saints."
The third stone wall reads: "Standing seven feet high in the world, the world is small, but I am the big one."
These mottos are similar to school mottos. They are the code of conduct and moral standards for a school to cultivate students. They are the core content of an institution. They serve as a supervisor for fear that students will learn badly.
But this school motto of Wenfu is obviously because it is afraid that its students will learn well, and it advises the students of Wenfu not to learn from it, but to just be themselves!
After seeing these three stone walls, Jiang Gu understood why there were so many maverick and even deviant people in the Qing Dynasty. The problem lay at the root.
"This is the motto of Wenfu..." Jiang Yan felt a little emotional in his heart.
"It's not just you, many people in the entire Xuan Kingdom have criticized this motto, especially the Xihe Confucian Mansion, which advocates ethics and education, they have criticized it."
Lu Yufu thought that Jiang Yan didn't like such a motto, but Jiang Yan's expression only became excited after a brief absence of concentration, and his heart couldn't help but jump with excitement.
"This is a perfect fit for me, Lu Yufu, I have decided to enter the Wen Mansion!"
The Mansion of Wen is a holy place in the hearts of literati all over the world, and the three words of the three generations of masters of the palace have unlocked the shackles that bound the scribes and given their souls to the world's literati.
This gave rise to a unique Qingdu style, and a style of literati that was unique in the world.
Wen Mansion is like a school that values the development of individuality. You will definitely have more freedom here than in other places. How could Jiang Yan not love such a place?
"Putting aside my opinions on the motto of Master Wenfu, every place in the eight palaces in the world is very unique, but I always feel particularly relaxed after coming to Qingdu." Even Lu Yufu felt this way.
Everyone who saw the three stone walls with proverbs looked excited and could not help but sing loudly. This was their paradise.
There is a high platform at the foot of Bijia Mountain, with several seats placed on it. The two great ministers of the Wen Palace, Lu Kuyin and Yang Xiangru, were seated on the left and right, waiting for the guests to watch the ceremony. The central seat seemed to be vacant for the master of the Wen Palace.
Keep.
Today is the day of the Wenfu Grand Examination. We invite the other eight powerful men to come here. Firstly, we can show everyone the foundation of Wenfu. Secondly, if we can discover disciples with amazing talents, it will naturally enhance the prestige of Wenfu. After all, inheritance is the word.
It is the most important thing in the Eight Prefectures. Excellent disciples represent a promising future.
When these people arrived, the entire Qing capital was experiencing strange phenomena.
As Sanskrit chants were heard in the air, people in Qingdu looked up and saw a looming golden Buddha in the clouds, filling half of the sky with rays of rays of light. It looked extraordinary and majestic, as if it was about to lead thousands of people into the blissful Buddha realm.
The Buddha's palm fell in front of Beacon Mountain, and two monks, an old man and a young man, stood in the center of the palm.
“It’s really a sin to trouble Master Yulin to come all the way.”
Lu Kuyin and Yang Xiangru stood up to greet them. This Yulin is one of the first seats in Xumi Mansion, and its status is comparable to them. What's more, Xumi Mansion and Wen Mansion have old friendships.
"It's a joy to see old friends meet again after a long separation. Mr. Kuyin and Mr. Xiangru are still the same. But brother Xiangru, what's wrong with your eyes..."
Yang Xiangru had one black eye and several wounds on his face, which made Yulin very curious as to who would dare to fight Yang Xiangru.
"This..." Yang Xiangru spoke in a cryptic manner, "I have been feeling depressed and aggrieved recently, so I went to Xiandu Mountain to find a fight with an old hozen."
When Yang Xiangru said the word "Old Hozen", he bit hard.
Lu Kuyin's eyes rested on the young monk next to Yulin. He was handsome and handsome, and his divine intelligence was unparalleled in the world. This reminded him of an incident that shocked Yuling Continent back then.
"It is rumored that Master Yuxing, who meditated under the Shuanglin tree for three hundred years, left Putuo Mountain twenty years ago and brought back a baby, and then took over as a teacher and apprentice in Xumi Mansion..."
Master Yuxing is one of the highest-ranking people in the entire Yuling Continent. For such a person to take in a junior disciple who can't speak yet, it became a matter that everyone talked about.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mr. Kuyin's eyes. This is the poor monk's junior uncle, Shenxiu!"
Yulin didn't feel any discomfort when he mentioned the word "Master-Uncle", and he obviously recognized Shenxiu's identity very much.
Only Lu Kuyin and Yang Xiangru looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.
Since Wei Changli had promised that he would accept the leader as his disciple, it was absolutely impossible for him to go back on his word and enrich himself as he said. This would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Wenfu.
Originally, the two of them were conceited that this generation would be full of geniuses, and that the ultimate leader would still be the Yunzhou scribes. However, after seeing Shenxiu, they no longer had full confidence, and they just hoped that they would not shoot themselves in the foot.
Shenxiu and Yulin sat down. There was only one seat in Xumi Mansion. Under the insistence of the old stubborn monk Yulin, the young Shenxiu and the world-famous Wen Mansion sat side by side.
It's just that Shenxiu, who has a relatively shy personality, did not sit near the middle, but found a seat at the far side and sat down. Yulin didn't say anything about this.
