The flying boat flew in the air for several days. From northwest to south, the vegetation along the way changed from sparse to dense, from low to tall. It seemed to go through spring, summer, autumn and winter in a few days, which looked very interesting.
A few days later, Lord Donggao lowered the flying boat from the top of the clouds and moved forward slowly.
Not long after, a small but very handsome mountain appeared in front of us, faintly revealing an extraordinary momentum.
Dong Gaojun looked at it, pointed at the mountain and said, "Junior brother, look, the front gate of Qingyang Academy is located."
The flying boat approached quickly, and the originally low mountain became taller. This mountain was named Daiyu when Qingyang Academy was first established.
The ancient saying of Daiyu has the same pronunciation as Dayan. In ancient times, Dayan was the place where the sun and moon emerged. Its meaning is self-evident.
Others say that Daiyu is actually a sacred mountain floating in the abyss. The seniors of Qingyang Academy chose this name because they admired the sacred mountain.
It is said that the ancient sacred mountain floating in the deep sea "circles thirty thousand miles high and low, and its flat top is nine thousand miles away. The mountains in the middle are seventy thousand miles apart, so they are neighbors. The terraces and temples on it are all gold and jade, and the animals on it are all
It is pure silk. The knots of the trees are thick with pearls, and the flowers and fruits are all flavorful. Those who eat them will not grow old or die. The people who live there are all the seeds of immortals and saints, and there are countless people who fly to and from each other day and night."
But these are just legends. Qingyang Academy has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and many classics have been lost. Many things were recorded by predecessors based on their memories, and the specific origins have long been unclear.
Looking from a distance, Daiyu Mountain stands quietly among the vast mountains. It is silently beautiful and has its own vast and majestic momentum.
When the flying boat approached, Gong Liang saw a scroll of heavenly book floating in the sky above Daiyu Mountain, and traces of inexplicable aura from below were constantly escaping into it and being absorbed by it.
Lord Donggao saw him staring at the Book of Heaven and explained: "It is the cultural spirit of Qingyang Academy, and it is a protective thing. It is invisible and has a shadow. As long as the culture of the world continues, the Book of Heaven will always protect Qingyang."
Academy.
The Xuegong lineage comes from the ancient Confucian sect. Confucians, Rouye, are the ancient sacrificial officials, so they are also called Confucian masters.
Although Qingyang Academy was passed down to the ancient Confucian scholars, it transcended the ancient Confucian scholars and adhered to the unity of knowledge and action. The heart is reason, there is no reason outside the heart, there is nothing outside the heart, the place of intention is the object, and the investigation of objects is the work of sincerity. It emphasizes the views of the saints.
The study is a study of body and mind, focusing on understanding and practice, which is far beyond the comparison of some rotten scholars in the East. The practice of Qingyang Academy is different from us, including self-cultivation, self-rectification, affirmation, meritorious service, virtue, enlightenment, etc.
, pay attention to the method of the heart, temper the will and articles, exercise the spirit of the literary palace, establish the moral way of the heart, establish destiny for all living beings, take the merits of heaven and earth, and condense the divinity of one's own body. It is no fluke that Qingyang Academy can be passed down from ancient times to the present.
."
Gongliang also heard a lot about Qingyang Academy in the Miaodao Immortal Sect. He knew that the calligraphy and painting of the Confucian scholars in Qingyang Academy were comparable to the talismans of Haoran Zhengqi calligraphy, but he did not expect that there was such a saying, and he couldn't help but look cautious.
When they arrived at the foot of Daiyu Mountain, Lord Donggao did not dare to drive the boat any further, so he landed and took Gongliang and Mi Gu slowly towards Qingyang Academy.
At the foot of Qingyang Xuegong Mountain, there is a huge stone with the four characters "Unity of Knowledge and Action" engraved on it.
Passing the boulder, there is a straight stone staircase. If you walk a few steps forward, you will see a tall archway with the words "Qingyang Academy" written on it.
Under the archway, there were several disciples of Qingyang Academy who were welcoming guests, and a handsome and elegant man. He smiled when he saw Lord Donggao coming with Gongliang and Migu.
When Dong Gaojun saw the man, he was surprised and said, "Lang Ting, when did you come back? Didn't I hear that you went to Daxia?"
Gongliang felt that this man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he had met this man when he was in Zhuya County. Thanks to him, he even ate his roasted black grouse. He remembered that he had
It was with a man named Maki.
Langting heard Dong Gaojun's words and said with a smile: "I came back last year. I wanted to go to Miaodao Xianzong to find you, but I was delayed by something. Let's go up! The palace master is still waiting for you in the main hall."
Dong Gaojun took Gong Liang and Mi Gu and walked up with him.
The main hall of Qingyang Academy was not very far away, so they didn't walk in the air, so they just walked up the steps step by step.
As he walked, Gongliang turned around and looked around, and found that the atmosphere of Qingyang Academy was very good, with a sense of tranquility and tranquility. The surrounding scenery included small bridges and flowing water, lush forests and bamboos, or pines and pavilions. Anyway, none of them were inelegant.
It doesn't look elegant and dusty at all.
After walking up for a while, he heard Mi Gu whisper in his ear: "Daddy, daddy, there is a beautiful bird over there."
Gong Liang looked in the direction she said and saw a big, colorful rooster standing on a flat bluestone in the forest not far away, with a big, fluffy black dog lying on it.
"Brother Si Chen, if you are not practicing in the mountains today, why are you out wandering around?" the big black dog asked.
"It's too stuffy and boring in here, so let's go out for a walk. I plan to go out some time, would you like to go?" the colorful rooster said with his head held high.
"Since Brother Si Chen is interested in this, Lao Xiong should accompany him."
"That's good. I'll find a few more people to avoid being lonely on the way." After saying that, the colorful rooster jumped off the bluestone and walked forward.
Lord Donggao saw him staring at the big rooster and the big black dog, so he said: "Qingyang Academy is inherited from ancient Confucian scholars and has the virtue of teaching, so many animals and birds in the mountains are spiritual. It is only a trivial matter to speak, so don't be surprised."
"Well"
Gongliang thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
But what surprised him was not that the big rooster and the big black dog could talk, but that the two things seemed to be well-educated and gentle, which made him feel strange.
how to say?
These two things make people feel like a genius wearing an animal skin.
Lang Ting, who looked back after hearing Dong Gao Jun's words, seemed to sense the surprise in his heart, and explained: "Si Chen and Lao Xiong are companions raised by the elders of the Academy. They have studied and practiced with the elders since they were young.
, have long been psychic, and their intelligence is far beyond that of ordinary beasts and birds. Sometimes the disciples in the sect will ask them for advice when they don’t understand something. Even I have asked them for advice. These two have lived for a long time, and their knowledge is amazing, but
You can't take it lightly, some disciples in the academy treat you as a teacher."
Gong Liang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He actually treated a big rooster and a big black dog with the courtesy of a master. He didn't know if they were stupid.
Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart. If he said it out loud, he might get beaten up.
Walk forward and soon you will arrive at the main hall of Qingyang Academy.
The main hall is not an independent building, but a vast palace complex, where people come in and out to deal with various things.
Langting took Donggaojun, Gongliang, and Migu into the central hall. As soon as he entered, he saw an elegant old man looking over with a smile.
When Dong Gaojun saw the old man, he hurriedly came forward and bowed: "Donggao Jun has met the palace master." Hearing this, Gongliang also quickly followed suit.
"Everyone, get up!" Shang Qu stretched out his hand to help.
Dong Gaojun and Gong Liang took advantage of the situation and stood up.
