In the second year of Hongzhi, Li Jie had been studying in Baisha for two years. Time passed by. Due to his long-term martial arts practice, Li Jie's height suddenly jumped to 1.7 meters in two years. From a distance, his figure is no different from that of an adult, and you can't tell that he is a thirteen-year-old boy. However, if you look closely, you will know that he is not very old, because Li Jie still has a childish look on his face.
After Chen Xianzhang finished testing Li Jie's homework that day, he said, "Shenzhi, what are your plans for this autumn?"
"Shen Zhi" is the word given to Li Jie by Chen Xianzhang, which is taken from Bai Juyi's "Think carefully and act diligently". Wisdom lies in managing big things, caution lies in fearing small things, respect is the first virtue, and prudence is the foundation of action. Seeing that Li Jie became famous at a young age, he hoped that Li Jie would avoid arrogance and impetuosity in the future, think carefully before doing things, and avoid acting on impulse.
"Students plan to participate in this Qiu Wei. As the saying goes, if you get first place, you must be first. Didn't the teacher also suggest that I participate in this Qiu Wei?"
Chen Xianzhang smiled slightly, and then said: "With your level, it will be a matter of course. As for the examination next year, you can also give it a try. As long as the examiner does not deliberately target you, there will be no problem in getting a title on the gold list."
His tone paused for a moment, and then he continued: "Don't write your teacher's teachings in the answer sheet in the examination room. It should be noted that the Cheng-Zhu School is still prevalent today, and the mind science is still a heretic in the eyes of most people. Alas! I will probably see this in my life. It won’t be until Xinxue becomes popular.”
Li Jie respected the old man in front of him very much. He taught him everything he had in the past two years without leaving a penny behind. Let’s not talk about knowledge for now. Although the two people have very different styles in martial arts, just like rivers flowing into the sea, martial arts will eventually become the same. Different paths led to the same goal. In terms of experience, Chen Xianzhang imparted all he had learned throughout his life without reservation. He used his experience to illuminate the way forward for Li Jie, guiding Li Jie forward on the martial arts path like a beacon, so that he no longer had to read a book. Dead things were groped.
"Teacher, when the student reaches a high position, he will definitely carry forward what he learned in Baisha and let the world see Mr. Baisha's style!"
Chen Xianzhang laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Okay! Okay!! Okay!!! I'm waiting for you, master!"
The next day, Li Jie packed his bags, said goodbye to Chen Xianzhang and all his senior brothers, and was about to return to Fuzhou City. When he reached the door, he saw Lun Wenxu coming towards him.
"Junior brother, are you planning to return to Fuzhou today?"
"Back to senior brother, yes, it's already June. Junior brother has been away from home for a long time and plans to go back as soon as possible. The two elders in the family have been urging me."
Lun Wenxu said: "Then we will meet again when brothers arrive in Fuzhou. This time in autumn, let's see which one of you and I competes first!"
"Okay, when the time comes, you and I, senior fellow apprentices, will win the exam together. It will be a good story."
Lun Wenxu often discussed knowledge with Li Jie in the past two years. He was already capable of poetry and prose at the age of eight or nine, and was good at couplets. He always ranked among the best in the academy's examinations, and was known as a "child prodigy", "an urgent talent" and a "ghost talent". .
Because my family is poor, I often help my parents grow and buy vegetables. Once, he went to Xichan Temple to pick vegetables to sell. The monk who cooked knew that his family was poor and he was good at reciting poems and poems, so he deliberately said: "We want the vegetables, but there is a condition. The Xian Hall in front of my temple still lacks a pair of couplets. This is The number of couplets must be exactly one hundred. If you can do it well, I will give you a high price. If you do not do it well, I will not give it up."
Lun Wenxu pondered for a moment and wrote: "Seventy-two sages in Xingtan, sages and sages; twenty-eight generals in Yuntai, all generals will be granted the title of marquis."
When the monk saw that seventy-two plus twenty-eight in the couplet made exactly one hundred, which was correct, he praised him repeatedly for buying his food at a high price.
Because they took the land route, after a month of long journey, the three of them finally arrived in Fuzhou City. Fang Kun has been with Li Jie since he and Fang Yi recognized each other. After two years of getting along, they have grown up with Fang Yi. Kun Lijie is quite familiar with him and has strong action ability, but he is not good at words. Since Fang Yi is the only relative left, he values Fang Yi very much. If the two of them are in danger and only one person can survive, he will not hesitate. Give the opportunity to your sister.
Back at the Taoist home, Mrs. Wang greeted her with a flurry of greetings. Lin Zhennan kept a straight face and said nothing. After being glared at by Mrs. Wang, he could no longer hold back. His joy was beyond words, and he also asked about the extra person behind him this time.
During Li Jie's studies, he came alone when he returned home to take the annual exams, and he never said anything about Fang Kun. The Lins only found out about it when they met Fang Kun when they came back this time, and learned that Fang Kun was Fang Yi. After seeing her brother who had been lost for many years, Mrs. Wang continuously applauded her. As she spoke, she pulled Fang Yi aside and wiped away her tears while congratulating her on being reunited with her relatives.
"My child, now you are no longer alone."
Fang Yi's eyes were red because of Mrs. Wang, and the two of them walked to the backyard hand in hand as they talked.
When Lin Zhennan saw Mrs. Wang leaving with Fang Yi, he smiled, and then said: "Pingzhi, are you confident in this provincial examination? I and a group of my friends have already spoken out, saying that you will definitely win this provincial examination!" "
Li Jie smiled helplessly when he heard this. Lin Zhennan could never change his habit of bragging, and then replied.
"Father, don't worry. The teacher once said that as long as the examiner of this provincial examination is fair, he will be a sure winner in this provincial examination."
Lin Zhennan laughed loudly when he heard Li Jie's answer. He couldn't hide his pride. Halfway through his laughter, he thought that there was an outsider like Fang Kun, and he felt a little embarrassed. Then he asked Li Jie to take good care of Fang Kun, and then left in despair. .
After Lin Zhennan walked away, Fang Kun said expressionlessly: "Has your father always been like this?"
Li Jie smiled bitterly and nodded.
"I really don't know how your father gave birth to you. Your temperament is completely different, and your appearance is not very similar. You look at his rugged appearance, but he gave birth to a son with such a handsome appearance like yours."
Li Jie was choked by Fang Kun's words, but he didn't say anything when he thought about his daily behavior. In the words of later generations, people like him have negative emotional intelligence. No wonder he was rejected when he went to study martial arts. If it hadn't been for an unexpected encounter, he would have estimated his martial arts skills. He couldn't reach his current level.
At present, Li Jie's eight extra meridians are only short of the Ren and Du meridians that have not been opened. As long as the Ren and Du meridians are opened, the meridians of the whole body can be penetrated. Those who are big and can go are no more than the number of hands that can surpass him, and most of them have no interest in worldly affairs.
Although Fang Kun has a negative emotional intelligence, he is very talented in martial arts. Otherwise, he would not have picked up a secret book and practiced advanced martial arts. Now, nearly half of the eight magical meridians have been opened, although he is not as good as monsters like Li Jie. , but he can be regarded as a first-rate player in the arena, and is only one step away from the top master. It is estimated that it will take two or three years to reach Li Jie's current level.
After Li Jie returned home, he rarely went out, but the news that he was planning to attend Qiu Wei after returning from his study tour spread uncontrollably, all thanks to Mr. Lin's big mouth.
