Although the mountain peak where Jixia Academy is located is not high in altitude, it is still covered with clouds and mist. Nine high-rise sutra pavilions stand majestically around the Confucius Ancestral Hall, making it particularly eye-catching.
As soon as Fahai stepped into the upper courtyard, he could hear the sounds of reading and chanting coming from various sutra towers. The loud and upright energy hit his face, which made people feel broad-minded.
Following Qin Lingyun's instructions, Fahai went straight to the ninth sutra tower. Along the way, although some Confucian alchemists showed up to inquire, they did not stop him after seeing the jade pendant presented by Fahai.
Following the winding path leading to the upper courtyard, Fahai soon came to the location of the ninth sutra tower, an antique and elegant courtyard.
The courtyard is not big, but it is full of exotic flowers and plants. There is an extremely simple thatched cottage at the end. Behind the thatched cottage is the tall sutra tower, on which the four characters "Opening the book is beneficial" are clearly visible.
After walking through the courtyard where birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, Fahai came to the thatched cottage, only to see that the door was ajar and a faint snoring could be heard from inside.
"Student Cang Jingkong meets the owner of the thatched cottage..."
Fahai, who was asking for help, followed the ancient etiquette, and after greeting him, he waited solemnly and respectfully for the owner of the thatched cottage to show up.
After a long time, I heard a sound like someone waking up from a deep sleep coming from the door, as if saying to myself, "Who came to disturb my old man's peace and quiet when he had nothing to do? Could it be those juniors who want to peep into thousands of economic documents?"
The bamboo door of the thatched cottage creaked open, and a little old man with gray hair and a childlike face, less than three feet tall, appeared in the thatched cottage hall.
Seeing Fahai standing with a bow, the old man did not walk out of the thatched cottage. Instead, he moved a bamboo chair from the room. The old man sat in the hall and curled his lips towards Fahai outside the door.
"Baby, looking at your respectful look, you must be here for the Wanshi Jinglun? Do you have the credentials of the Eighth Pavilion Master?"
"No, but the student has this jade pendant." Fahai was not embarrassed by the old-fashioned attitude of the other party, and answered calmly with his hand in hand.
"Then you took the back door?" The old man glanced at the jade pendant in Fa Hai's hand and couldn't help but glare.
"Exactly." Fahai nodded without denying it.
"Okay, you must be honest." When the old man saw this, he laughed, "Since someone pointed you here, you must also know the rules of my Taizo life, right?"
"Know a little bit."
"Very good. A gentleman wants to be receptive to words and quick to deeds. Seeing that your words and deeds are calm and calm, you are quite a bit of the legacy of Confucianism. However, when you learn something, think about it, think about it, and use it. Confucianism in the world,
It’s all about the use of words. No matter how much knowledge you have, if it cannot be sublimated into wisdom and cannot be applied to solve problems, it will be nothing more than an embroidered pillow.”
"What the old man said makes sense, and the students believe it to be true."
"Let's get back to the topic. I have been guarding the Eternal Economics for seven thousand years. I have seen countless people like you. I think you are pleasing to the eye, so I will reluctantly give you a try. If you pass, the Eternal Economics
I will give you an idea. If you are an embroidered pillow, just go back and read the poems and books in the eight sutra towers before it is too late."
After Taizangsheng finished speaking, without waiting for Fahai's consent, he continued, "The question is very simple. No matter what method you use, as long as you can get me out of this thatched cottage, you will pass."
"oh?"
"You have three chances. If you still can't pass after three times, you can go back and forth wherever you go..."
After Tai Zangsheng finished speaking, he was about to close his eyes and rest his mind when he suddenly saw Fa Hai staring at the thatched cottage and circling around. He couldn't help but glared again and blew his beard and said, "You don't want to burn down my house to force me to come out, do you?"
"Uh, not bad." Seeing this, Fahai nodded slightly awkwardly.
"See, you are quite honest. Old man, let me remind you, don't try to burn down my house to force me out. Last time, a third-grade monk wanted to burn down my house, but I slapped him in the face. Until now.
He is still recovering from his injuries in the sect."
"Also, don't think about the good thing about being sincere and opening up gold and stone. A while ago, there was a boy who knelt here for seventy-seven forty-nine days and passed out several times. I didn't pay attention to him."
When Fa Hai heard this, he was speechless. This old man was inexperienced and had advanced cultivation. He didn't want to come out, so what could be done to make him come out?
"Why, you can't think of a way? Then go back and study hard. The road is extremely difficult, so don't always think about taking shortcuts."
"It's not that there is no way..." Fahai said after hearing this.
"Oh? Then I want to see what you can do. Remember you only have three chances."
"To invite the seniors out of the thatched hut, it may take three chances for the student's talent. However, if the seniors are invited in from outside the thatched hut, the student only needs one chance to do it."
"Oh? Are you sure?" When Tai Zangsheng heard this, he suddenly became interested.
"OK." Fahai nodded solemnly.
"Won't you regret it?"
"I will never regret it."
Seeing Fa Hai's expression of wisdom, Tai Zangsheng couldn't help but get curious. He stood up and walked quickly outside the house, raised his head towards Fa Hai, blew his beard and said, "Then why don't you invite me in now? I'm sorry.
Let’s see, if I don’t go in, what can you do to me? Come on, I will just stand here and not move!”
Fahai didn't seem to be in a hurry, but asked seriously,
“Senior, I don’t know that this saying must be believed and actions must be resolute, but it comes from the most holy teacher?”
"good."
"Then you must be as true to your word as the Holy Master, and you must do what you say?"
"certainly."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Won't you regret it?"
"What regrets do you have? Little baby, are you done yet?"
"Well, that's it. Now that I have passed the test of senior, I would like to ask senior to show me the economy of all ages."
After Fa Hai said this, he bowed his hands respectfully towards Tai Zangsheng.
"You didn't do anything, how come you passed?" Tai Zangsheng was stunned.
"Senior, isn't he standing outside the thatched hut now?" Fahai asked, and then smiled softly, "I only used one chance to invite senior out intact, senior will never break his promise, right?
?”
"Well……"
Tai Zangsheng was stunned for a moment. He looked up at Fa Hai's seemingly harmless face and couldn't help but get angrier and angrier. He almost blew his beard off, "You are so treacherous! You still pretend to be honest and trustworthy."
The young man looks like you, you have been plotting against me from the very beginning of our relationship, haven't you?"
"How could it be? My senior tested me with extraordinary methods, and students can only use extraordinary methods to solve the problem. This is not treachery, but wisdom. Didn't senior teach students just now? Wisdom is to apply it and solve problems?"
"I'm so angry with my strong words and nonsense! Go to hell!"
After Tai Zangsheng said this, he suddenly slapped Fahai with a palm. The speed was so fast that by the time Fahai reacted, he had already been slapped into a strange space.
It was pitch black all around, the sky was like a curtain, and the mysterious golden seal characters kept flashing in the sky, like stars, making it dizzying to see.
