He Lun opened the recommendation letter and read it. After reading it, he put the recommendation letter away.
The letter of recommendation was written by Wang Dafu. He has a good relationship with Wang Dafu because Wang Dafu once sponsored He Lun when he was a child. Even after he became a scholar, Wang Dafu funded this Juxian School. , He Lun became the teacher of Juxian School.
What Wang Dafu wrote meant that Zhang Ran was Wang Dafu's nephew, and he hoped that Zhang Ran would come to Juxian Academy to study. Also, during each imperial examination, he hoped that Zhang Ran would be given one of the places recommended by the school.
Wang Dafu needs to be given more face. After all, in modern terms, Wang Dafu is the major shareholder of Juxian Academy, and He Lun is equivalent to the CEO.
He Lun said: "You come to school tomorrow morning."
Zhang Ran said: "I don't know what the teacher teaches students every day."
He Lun said: "The Thousand-Character Essay, the Book of Songs, and the Analects of Confucius."
Zhang Ran has read many books about the imperial examination, so he naturally knows what is tested in the imperial examination. As for the three things He Lun mentioned, Zhang Ran knows what level of school the Juxian School teaches. It is a school for children. No wonder the school is a large school. Most of them are children, and they are developing in a bad direction just as they thought.
Although Zhang Ran is a child, Zhang Ran came from time travel and was almost forty years old in his previous life, yet he had to go to class with these children.
Zhang Ran said: "I have already studied at home. Can you let me take part in the imperial examination directly?"
He Lun heard what Zhang Ran meant, that is, Zhang Ran didn't want to come to class.
He Lun said: "It's okay, but it's just that taking the imperial examination requires a certain level of literary talent, and I don't know anything about your literary talent. I'll test your literary talent, and if you pass it, you won't have to attend class."
Zhang Ran said: "Sir, please come up with the questions." After all, it was just an imperial examination for children, so Zhang Ran was full of confidence.
He Lun said: "I will randomly ask a few questions in the Analects."
Zhang Ran said: "Please give me a question."
He Lun said: "In the past, my friend was engaged in this. What was the last sentence?"
Zhang Ran replied: "Ask the able to the incompetent, ask too many questions as the few; if something is there, if it is not, if it is true, if it is false, it will be wrong but not corrected."
He Lun said: "Zhizai Shiyu! Where there is a way, it is like a arrow; when there is no way, what is the next sentence?"
Zhang Ran replied: "A gentleman is Zang Boyu! If the state has the right, then he will be an official. If the state does not have the right, then he can be a good man."
He Lun then asked five more questions, and Zhang Ran answered them one by one, all of them correct.
He Lun was very satisfied with Zhang Ran, but in the children's examination, not only the Analects of Confucius was tested, but also poetry, so He Lun said again: "The answer to the Analects of Confucius is good, but if you write another poem, use the green bamboo in the forest." You make one."
Zhang Ran thought about it. There were not many poems in his previous life, but he had been working for many years and was not studying liberal arts, so he didn't have any poems in his mind. Zhang Ran thought about it and found that there were only a few good poems that impressed him. The rest are either incompletely remembered or completely forgotten.
However, among these poems, I really remember a poem about bamboo, and I didn’t remember it while studying. It was because Zhang Ran had watched a TV series about Zheng Banqiao, and this was a poem written by Zheng Banqiao.
The reason why I remember it is that firstly, this poem is easy to remember, and secondly, it is a famous poem by Zheng Banqiao.
Zhang Ran pretended to be thoughtful for a while and said: "Then I will start writing poetry. The name of the poem I wrote is Bamboo Stone."
"Stand firmly on the green mountains and never let go. The roots are still in the broken rocks. It has been strong despite being struck by the winds of east, west, north and south."
After Zhang Ran finished it, he looked at He Lun. He Lun was stunned for a moment after hearing it. When he stroked his beard, he couldn't help but pull out a few strands. The poem Zhang Ran composed was better than he imagined. It was better, especially the idea in this poem was very good, which made his eyes light up.
Then he said: "The poems you wrote are very good. You don't need to come to class in the future. I will register your name and inform you when it comes to the imperial examination."
Zhang Ran's poems are very good, and he answered all the questions perfectly. With Zhang Ran's literary talent, the chance of being admitted as a child student is not low.
Zhang Ran said: "Thank you, sir."
He Lun smiled and said: "You're welcome, your literary talent is indeed good."
Zhang Ran left Juxian Academy. It was almost dark at this time, and Zhang Ran went back home.
After returning home, I had a family meal with Zhang Shun's family, and then started practicing martial arts with Zhang Rongming. However, Zhang Ran held back his strength and fought with Zhang Rongming. Zhang Ran lived in Zhang Shun's house and reciprocated the favor, which made Zhang Rongming's strength improve faster.
Zhang Rongming has a good personality, cheerful and generous, and is the type that Zhang Ran is easy to get in touch with. Therefore, as Zhang Ran stayed for two days, the relationship between Zhang Ran and Zhang Rongming became much closer. It is a pity that Zhang Rongming usually spends his days in Shenweiwu. hotel, only at home at night.
In fact, what Zhang Ran doesn't know is that Zhang Rongming will only go home when he is not eighteen years old. If he is over eighteen years old, he will rarely go home. This is not the rule of Shenwei Martial Arts School, but There are not many things that happen to Zhang Rongming now, but when he is over eighteen years old, there are a lot of things that happen to him.
Zhang Rongming also knew this, so he went home every night just to spend more time with his parents.
As for Zhang Dieer, when Zhang Shun and Li were there, she was quite docile and cute, but if Zhang Shun and Li were not there, she would turn into a little witch, giving Zhang Ran a headache.
Zhang Shun and Li treated Zhang Ran very well, sometimes even much better than they treated Zhang Rongming and Zhang Dieer, which moved Zhang Ran deeply.
One day later, Zhang Ran came to the Wuhu Martial Arts Hall.
Guan Qing saw Zhang Ran and said, "Master is looking for you."
Zhang Ran was secretly happy, knowing that he should be able to obtain the inheritance of the Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword.
Zhou An came to Dong Yan's door and said, "Master, I'm here."
Dong Yan said: "Come in."
Zhang Ran opened the door and walked in. He saw Dong Yan holding a book and flipping through the pages by the window.
Seeing Zhang Ran come in, Dong Yan closed the book in his hand, threw it towards Zhang Ran, and said, "This is the secret book of the Five Tigers' Door-Breaking Sword for you."
Zhang Ran stretched out his hand and grabbed the secret book in his hand. Zhang Ran did not look through it, but said: "Thank you, Master, for the merit."
Dong Yan said: "If you don't understand something, you can ask your second senior brother. Your second senior brother is also a practitioner of the Five Tiger Broken Gate Sword. Based on time, your second senior brother will be back in more than a month."
The second senior brother Dong Yan mentioned was his second apprentice Song Changyi.
Seeing that Zhang Ran didn't express anything, Dong Yan added: "You have never met Shan Yue and Song Changyi, so you may be unfamiliar with them, but you are both my disciples, and we must communicate well in the future."
Zhang Ran said: "When the second senior brother comes, I will go find the second senior brother."
Dong Yan said: "Let me tell you one more thing. If you practice the Wuhu Duanmen Dao to great perfection and come to me again, I will take you to the inheritance sword stele of the Five Tigers Duanmen Dao to help you understand the meaning of the sword. .”
Zhang Ran asked curiously: "What is the inheritance sword tablet of the Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword? What is the meaning of this sword?"
"The inherited sword stele of the Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword is the source of the Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword. The secret book you got is simplified from the sword stele. It is also the foundation of my Wuhu Martial Arts School. You must practice the Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword. Once you reach Dacheng, you must be a core disciple of the Five Tigers Martial Arts School before you can come into contact with the Sword Monument." Dong Yan patiently explained:
"As for the meaning of this sword, it condenses the artistic conception of the sword. It is a higher level of the sword. It is not just the sword. For example, the sword has the sword intention, the stick has the stick intention, and the fist has the fist intention... As for how to learn this artistic conception , the Five Tigers Broken Door Sword can only be understood from the sword stele. Of course, for example, other sword skills, kick skills, spear skills, etc. are not necessarily understood from the stele. It may be a weapon, it may be jade, and it may be more likely to be Books are all different.”
Zhang Ran said: "Can it be that this artistic conception can only be understood from something, and cannot be understood by oneself?"
Zhang Ran has not yet fully mastered the Heavenly Turning Seven Evil Spear, and Zhang Ran can understand that he has not understood the spear's intention. However, Zhang Ran has been practicing the Four Directions Sword Technique for a long time, but he has never mastered the sword's intention, so Zhang Ran asked this question.
Dong Yan said: "It is possible to understand it on your own, but very few of them are talented people."
Zhang Ran is not very satisfied with this answer. Mastering one-handed weapons can increase his understanding. Isn’t it a talent? After all, as long as you get any secret book in your hand, whether it is low-level or high-level, you will definitely practice it twice. Dacheng, even the Heavenly Turning Seven Evil Spears, was only trained to the first four levels because my level was not enough, but the first four levels also reached Dacheng.
So Zhang Ran thought there must be something he didn't know, so he didn't practice the Sifang Sword Technique to the desired level.
"However, I once heard a saying from a senior, saying that only by deeply understanding the martial arts practice can one realize the artistic conception. I can only say this. After all, my Yuanyang Sword is based on a certain The meaning of successful item cultivation is not something you realize by yourself." Dong Yan said:
"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said, go down."
Zhang Ran returned to his room. Although Zhang Ran did not live in Wuhu Martial Arts Hall, as a formal disciple, he would be assigned an empty room.
He picked up the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife and started reading it, and quickly finished reading the secret book.
Then Zhang Ran picked up the Xuan Dao and practiced it in the room. By the time he practiced for the second time, he was already familiar with the technique of wielding the Wuhu Door-breaking Dao.
It's a pity that Dong Yan didn't see it. If he saw it, he would definitely be shocked, because Zhang Ran only practiced it twice before he perfected the Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword. The Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword is a powerful sword technique, and it is natural to practice it. It is also very difficult. Even those geniuses who want to practice to great success will not be able to practice in just a few years.
Zhang Ran felt that the Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife and the Heavenly Turning Seven Evils Spear were similar. They were both advanced martial arts, but they were two different martial arts after all. The Heavenly Turning Seven Evils Spear was divided into seven layers. Evil, but the Five Tiger Door-Breaking Swords are not divided into levels. Instead, the stronger you practice, the greater the power.
According to Zhang Ran's guess, the Heavenly Turning Seven Evil Spears can only be mastered after the Seventh Heavenly Turn, but the Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword is not sure. The main reason is that he cannot grasp how strong the Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword must be before he can realize the sword's intent. .
However, Zhang Ran remembered that the Yuanyang Sword practiced by Dong Yan was derived from a certain item. Zhang Ran heard that it was not a heritage item of the Yuanyang Sword, but some other treasure, so Zhang Ran wanted to Looking for this kind of treasure, even if it is expensive, Zhang Ran will try it.
As for what Dong Yan said about the need to deeply understand the martial arts and comprehend the artistic conception, Zhang Ran didn't quite understand this, so he could only put it aside.
In the days that followed, Zhang Ran lived peacefully in Qiantang County. He occasionally went to Wuhu Martial Arts School to show that he was from Wuhu Martial Arts School. Zhang Ran did not go to Wuhu Martial Arts School anymore. After all, Wuhu Martial Arts School He had already learned Wu Duan Men Dao, and there was nothing wrong with him going to Wuhu Martial Arts School. As for the first time he went to Juxian Academy, Zhang Ran did not go there anymore, waiting for the imperial examination to come.
Of course, Zhang Ran didn't have any free time. He walked around Qiantang County every day to get to know Qiantang County better. This was for two reasons. First, Zhang Ran wanted to buy some books about artistic conception and learn how to break through it; It is to find the kind of treasure that helps to break through the artistic conception. The second is to find a safe way to sell those treasures.
