Seeing the poise and composure on Lin Jinan's young face, Lin Jinyan was moved but also a little distressed.
The brother and sister walked slowly, and Lin Jinan talked about his recent change in mentality:
"After you were assassinated a few years ago, I thought that I would make a name for myself so that others would not dare to hurt you again. This time on the Lantern Festival, although there was no danger, I still couldn't help being afraid. Somehow, I suddenly thought of the Grand Master’s teachings.”
Lin Jinyan paused slightly: "Master Yao?"
Seeing Lin Jinan nodding, Lin Jinyan asked:
"What did the Grand Master teach my brother?"
"The Grand Master said that the Tao is the heart and the art is the sword. The wishes in the heart need matching abilities to protect them. It is better to stand higher than to stand still if you have the ability. Protecting one person is a bad idea. Live cautiously and cautiously, but when encountering resistance, you will be like this. A mantis's arm blocks a chariot. Protecting ten thousand people is a good way. When the people you protect help each other, you will naturally protect one of those ten thousand people."
Lin Jinyan frowned: "What about the best strategy the Grand Master said?"
"The Grand Master said that the best policy is to protect people in the world. The rights and wrongs of the world are usually determined by those in power. If you can determine right and wrong, you will be able to protect the ones you love. Instead of looking at the turbidity of this world and sighing and being defensive, it is better to have a touch of clarity. color."
"The Grand Master is truly knowledgeable and insightful. He is worthy of being a national scholar even respected by His Majesty."
Lin Jinan smiled brightly: "I feel ashamed to say that, even though I thanked the Grand Master in person, I felt in my heart that it was the ambition of a bureaucrat, and I scoffed at it. I suddenly had an enlightenment a few days ago. Which saint in the past has never been ambitious? In the past, he was My brother is too arrogant and arrogant at heart, lest he be tainted by these common names, but now it seems that they are just superficial and extremely ridiculous."
The brother and sister looked at each other, Lin Jinyan was smiling, and her eyes were filled with relief.
Lin Jinyan led Lin Jinan to the classroom and ordered Hong Jiu and Wei Zhong to close the front and back doors respectively and guard outside.
Lin Jinan looked at the empty classroom and followed Lin Jinyan to the cubicle on the side of the podium. The small cubicle had a wall of bookshelves, and only a bed, a table and a chair could be left free. It looked like it was for a master A place to take a nap and correct homework.
Lin Jinyan: "Brother, I have something to show you, but you must not tell it outside after reading it."
Lin Jinan: "What is so mysterious?"
While talking, Lin Jinyan walked to the bedside, bent down and touched the bottom of the bed. Just as Lin Jinan was about to ask, a door suddenly appeared on the shelf.
"Yan'er...this is?"
"Brother, this is the secret passage of Zhuangzi. I will take you through it and you will memorize it."
Bai Zhi took out the fire seal on her body and walked into the secret passage first to light the oil lamp inside.
The secret passage provided for the two of them to walk side by side, but it was not unreasonable. Lin Jinan looked at the large space above his head, then lowered his head to look at the thick bluestone slabs under his feet, walking steadily.
After walking for a short distance, the secret passage widened. Lin Jinyan raised her hand and pressed the base of the oil lamp beside the wall, turned it half a circle, and a crack appeared on the wall.
"Brother, push away and take a look."
Lin Jinan raised his hand and pushed open the stone door with some strength. A square stone house appeared in front of him. The house was about four feet long and wide. Six thick beams were staggered on the roof, and three stone pillars connected the beams from the ground.
The three walls are covered with shelves that reach the top, and wooden boxes of different sizes are neatly placed layer by layer. A fist-sized luminous pearl hangs from the beam, coating the entire room with a layer of fluorescence.
