February 20th, an even-numbered day, is another day for classes in the academy.
After Gu Yongze's death, the magic cultivator temporarily ceased its activities, and the students returned to their daily classes.
These students have not yet entered Taoism to practice.
They are either curious about internal strength, or they are following the update of "The Legend of Two Dragons in the Great Li", or they are simply trying to support Nan Yi. When they come to the academy every day, they usually buy a copy of "Ming Pao".
Then, they saw that in today's "Ming Pao", there was a section for "People with lofty ideals and benevolent people".
Why be a hero?
People with lofty ideals and benevolence.
In the Liaozhai where Nan Yi lives, his classmates are at the peak of their youthful spirit.
After watching "People with Aspirations and Benevolence", they felt impassioned and passionate.
Because of Nan Yi's article, he calls on the world to uphold righteousness, not to be afraid of power, not to be tempted by bribes, to practice chivalry with the awe-inspiring righteousness in his heart, to dare to draw his sword, and to face the stubborn disease of corruption.
The article and its rationale are essentially speaking for the people at the bottom, and it is a majestic article based on the people's hearts and righteousness.
As a scholar and student from a commoner background, he is of a hot-blooded age. When he read this article, he felt the same feeling, as if he was also marching straight with the sword and shouting out.
They surrounded Nan Yi and asked all sorts of questions about chivalry and internal strength.
When the lecturer came to Zhaishe, seeing this, he simply stopped giving lectures himself and asked Nan Yi to give lectures directly.
Nan Yi was not timid and happily took the stage.
Although Nan Yiwen copied "People with Aspirations and Benevolence" from Wang Yangming's work, he did not simply transfer it, but modified it according to his own needs and wrote a new discussion.
Nan Yi first put forward the people-centered thought with arguments such as "water can carry a boat but also capsize it" and "the people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least important".
Next, Nan Yi did not mention any democratic remarks, but discussed great benevolence and righteousness based on people-oriented thinking.
He believes that it is difficult for people to speak for themselves because they are busy making a living. But this does not mean that when the interests of the people are harmed, they deserve to swallow their anger.
As a person with lofty ideals, pursuing great benevolence and righteousness, we should persist in speaking out for the people.
As long as you can fight for the interests of the people, you are practicing chivalry and cultivating a noble and upright spirit.
However, in the process of pursuing the practice of chivalry, certain means are needed to be able to act chivalrously and righteously.
There are many ways to do this.
But Nan Yi chose martial arts, and developed internal skills and enriched martial arts methods for people with lofty ideals who practice martial arts.
Therefore, the way of chivalry developed by Nan Yi can basically be regarded as the spirit of martial arts for the time being.
After Nan Yi introduced it, many students were very interested in internal skills.
If they are asked to practice martial arts hard, Nan Yi is self-aware and knows that it will be difficult for him to persevere.
But in the early stage of internal strength, you only need to meditate, and everyone basically wants to give it a try.
However, Nan Yi, who received a message from the lecturer saying that it was okay to share articles and doctrines, but not to spread the inner strength to others for the time being, could only apologize: "In the practice of inner strength, for the time being, I rely on leading people step by step to get started. If you just want to experience the inner strength, Please wait for a while and let me deal with the martial arts warriors who come to see me in the near future."
The news that "Yi Ming" is Nan Yi's pen name is not completely public.
But after all, this matter was not deliberately kept secret. In the county, some well-informed martial arts warriors had actually recently gone to the Chengyou Bookstore to look for Nan Yi.
To these warriors, Nan Yi only said: They are not allowed to kneel outside the bookstore. He will find someone to secretly assess whether they are suitable for practicing internal skills.
Anyone who wants to make a fuss by kneeling down or in other ways, and who wants to use moral kidnapping to force Nan Yi to teach internal energy, will simply never teach internal energy.
The secret assessment and evaluation mainly involves Guo Lai making secret visits to understand the specific conduct of these warriors.
At present, no martial artist has seriously knelt down outside Chengyou Bookstore, causing any disturbance that would completely expose Nan Yi as "Yi Ming".
However, these warriors still like to hang out outside Wuxiang Academy and Chengyou Bookstore recently, hoping to have a "chance encounter" with Nan Yi.
…………
But when Nan Yi was talking about the process of creating "The Man with the Loyalty and the Benevolent" in Liaozhai, the scene in Chu Tianxing's house was completely different.
Chu Tianxing, as the chief of the restaurant, inscribed the character "Question" on his residence, and named it "Wen Zhai".
What he originally intended was that we are currently in a time of great change, with rapid technological development and many theoretical and ideological changes. As a student, you should have a desire to learn, ask more questions and think more, so that you can achieve something.
But today, Chu Tianxing just wanted all the students in his class to shut up.
His class is equivalent to the class of young masters, and they are basically all children from aristocratic families.
Even if he was unable to enter Taoism and practice in advance because he had not yet awakened his innate supernatural powers, he still knew something about practice.
Therefore, they are not very curious about internal strength.
After reading Nan Yi's "People with Aspirations and Benevolence", although they felt that Nan Yi's writing was good and their own emotions were somewhat aroused by the article, these young men remained calm.
Because the positions are different and the classes are different.
Although Nan Yi did not specify what the stubborn disease of decay was, the young masters knew clearly that if they really acted according to Nan Yi's article, the so-called knights, even if they did not specifically target the major aristocratic families, would definitely conflict with the aristocratic families' properties.
They will not seriously pursue Nan Yi's articles in their hearts.
However, although they did not intend to pursue Nan Yi, in front of Chu Tianxing, these young men liked to praise Nan Yi the most.
In a sense, these young men are even better at playing Nan Yi than Nan Yi in the civilian class.
He made Nan Yi rare in the sky and hard to find in the world, just like an immortal descended into the world.
There were even people who deliberately came over to ask Chu Tian Xing what he wanted to do after he finished blowing.
Chu Tianxing pursed his lips tightly in anger, fearing that he would not be able to stop himself from swearing.
He also read Nan Yi's article and felt that Nan Yi was trying to gain fame.
He did not deny that Nan Yi's articles were excellent, but he did not think that Nan Yi could be a person with lofty ideals and benevolence.
Of course, Chu Tianxing just thought about the comment "for fame and reputation" and would not say it seriously.
But being forced to listen to people around him talking about Nan Yi, even though he knew these people were deliberately trying to make trouble, Chu Tianxing couldn't help but feel angry.
He didn't know whether he was angry at Nanyi or these people who were trying to outdo each other.
He just wanted these people to shut up.
After finally getting to the lecturer, Chu Tianxing managed to keep his ears quiet and stopped listening to others talking about Nan Yichang here and Nan Yiqiang there.
At the end of the lunch class, seeing these people want to come over to discuss Nan Yi again, clearly touting Shi Gonghuo, Chu Tianxing pursed his lips tightly and immediately stood up to find his assistant Qin Nanyi, preparing to ask Qin Nanyi for a few days' leave. , wait until this storm is over and come back to class.
As a result, Qin Nanyi also left as soon as get out of class was over.
Chu Tianxing could only chase him out of the house.
Seeing that Qin Nanyi did not go outside the academy, but went straight to the studio on the other side of the academy, guessing that he was looking for Nan Yi, Chu Tianxing couldn't help but send a message and asked:
"Senior sister left in a hurry, but to look for Nan Yi? I wonder why senior sister is looking for him?"
"It is true that I am looking for Nan Yi. In a few days, there will be a tea party at my house. I would like to invite him to attend the meeting." Qin Nanyi slowed down slightly, "Are you looking for me for something? If it is not an important matter, just send a message directly Just tell me.”
Chu Tianxing did not talk about asking for leave, but said in surprise: "Invite Nan Yi to a tea party? But he is from a fellow villager, not a child of a noble family."
The Qin family planted tea trees for enlightenment tea.
After picking a batch of tea leaves in late February every year, the Qin family would hold a tea party and invite young monks from various families in Chu County to taste tea together, which was regarded as a good relationship.
Due to limited tea leaves, each family can invite at most two people, both of whom are leaders of the younger generation.
For example, Chu Tianxing and Wenzhai's classmates, although they came from aristocratic families, had not yet entered the Taoist practice and were not invited at all.
Even Chu Tianxing, who had never entered Taoism before, received the invitation for the first time this year.
Unexpectedly, the Qin family tea party, which had never invited common monks, wanted to invite Nan Yi this year.
Because it was a voice conversation, Qin Nanyi, who still had his back to Chu Tianxing, had a strange color in his eyes.
She was slightly disgusted with Chu Tianxing because of her experience in the market.
Knowing that Chu Tianxing and Nan Yi were not getting along well, although Qin Nanyi would not deliberately quarrel with him like his classmate Chu Tianxing, but seeing Chu Tianxing's surprised look, he still deliberately said calmly:
"My family's tea party has always been about inviting the leaders of the younger generation to exchange knowledge and make good friends. We don't usually see common monks. It's just because the monks from the aristocratic family have a richer background and there are few who are not as good as the common monks."
Usually it's rare, but this year it is.
Chu Tianxing, who understood Qin Nanyi's subtext, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Before the demonic cultivator attacked, he had never cared about the dispute over fame with Nan Yi.
Because Chu Tianxing knew that whether it was the "Journal of Nantian Xue" who deliberately tried to suppress him or his classmates in the academy who deliberately criticized him, it was all because he was the son of the county governor.
As long as he doesn't make mistakes and plays steadily, he will have a high chance of inheriting the position of governor of Chu County after Chu Kuangsheng establishes his foundation.
The children of other aristocratic families who also coveted the position of county governor only wanted Chu Tianxing to make mistakes.
They all had ulterior motives, and they all wanted to dig holes for Chu Tianxing and cause trouble.
Whether he was pulling or stepping on someone or fighting against the fire, Chu Tianxing had a clear mind and would not really care about other people's words, nor did he take Nan Yi to heart.
However, to this day, Chu Tianxing, who had never cared about Nan Yi before, had to take Nan Yi seriously.
He didn't care before, just because Nan Yi was not even a commoner, but a villager with a humble status.
Even if Nan Yi's articles are better, they are just ordinary people's articles; others are trying to step down or support them, but they are just empty-handed.
He is the son of a county governor. As long as his cultivation is better than Nan Yi's, he doesn't have to worry about some false reputation.
But now, Nan Yi not only defeated the Foundation-Building Demonic Cultivator and gained a lot of fame; he also took the opportunity to be promoted to Qi-Nursing Minor, far better than Chu Tianxing; he even wrote books and essays, and made astonishing remarks today. .
Chu Tianxing, who also just entered Taoism this year, is now like Nan Yi before. He has not even started cultivating qi yet. He only took advantage of the convenience of awakening his innate magical power to cross the essence storage period in one step.
Now, the dispute between Chu Tianxing and Nan Yi is no longer just in vain.
But Chu Tianxing is really not as good as Nan Yi.
Even the county governor, Chu Kuangsheng, went out of his way to comfort Chu Tianxing, saying that Nan Yi's current brilliance was like a raging fire cooking oil.
Chu Tianxing had a sullen face and did not continue to send messages to Qin Nanyi, nor did he seriously ask Qin Nanyi for a few days off.
He just walked in the direction outside the academy in silence.
But when Qin Nanyi sensed this scene, he secretly smiled in his heart.
As early as when he asked Nan Yi to inquire about his heart at the Questioning Platform, he found that Nan Yi was devoted to the Tao and had a tenacious character without any hesitation. Qin Nanyi felt that Nan Yi might be a natural Taoist.
The reason why Qin Nanyi lost her composure at that time was precisely because she had foreseen that Nan Yi would easily overtake her in the realm of Taoism.
Although she would not have the thought that "this child must never be kept", she would inevitably have some instability and doubts about life.
A born Taoist, born to tell others that it is good to be a mortal with peace of mind.
After asking Nan Yi about his heart, Qin Nanyi immediately ran to retreat to stabilize his Taoist heart. Later, he made a special trip to Fangshi to observe the difficulty of casual practice and was relieved that his practice was smooth, which was better than many monks.
It can be said that Qin Nanyi was completely looking for a sense of superiority as a casual cultivator, so that he could get over the psychological shadow of being hit by Nan Yi, reset his Taoist mind, and avoid being disturbed by inner demons.
Seeing Chu Tianxing walking away with a sullen expression, Qin Nanyi secretly said: The Chu family has been overbearing for generations. First, the Chu Overlord took away the position of county governor from the Qin family, and then Chu Kuangsheng suppressed the major families in Chu County for more than 20 years. ; In order to allow the third generation of the Chu family, Chu Tianxing, to awaken his innate supernatural powers and then enter Taoism to practice, all Chu Tianxing's original younger brothers and sisters were killed.
In a few years, the younger generation of the Chujun family may not be able to defeat Chu Tianxingzhe.
But unfortunately, no one in the family could match him, but out of the blue came out a Nan Yi.
If Nan Yi is given a few more years, I'm afraid there will be no need to consider whether the younger generation can reach him, and he can directly consider whether Chu Kuangsheng can keep the position of county governor.
Thinking of what the Qin family had just sent to tell her a message near the academy, Qin Nan's eyes kept getting strange colors, and he waited for Nan Yi outside Liaozhai.
"Junior Brother Nan, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
After receiving the message from Qin Nanyi, Nan Yi said goodbye to his classmates who were still surrounding him and asking questions, and walked a few steps with Qin Nanyi to avoid the crowd.
"Senior sister is looking for me, is there something wrong?"
"There will be a tea party at my house in three days, and I would like to invite you, junior brother, to have tea with me. I wonder if junior brother will have free time at that time?"
Nan Yi blinked.
He didn't want to get involved in the overt and covert fight between the county governor and the aristocratic family, so he subconsciously wanted to refuse after hearing this.
However, he remembered that Qin Nanyi once offered a helping hand in the market. Although he did not accept it at the time, he still somewhat remembered this feeling.
Nan Yi did not refuse directly, but asked: "I wonder why senior sister invited me? I am from a rural background, so I may not be able to taste tea."
Qin Nanyi was stunned and secretly thought that he was confused. He had forgotten that Nan Yi was not a member of a noble family. He had never heard of the Qin family tea party, let alone the Enlightenment Tea.
"My family holds a tea party every year just to form a good relationship with the young heroes in the county. At that time, the tea we drink is enlightenment tea, which can help the juniors cultivate their skills and deduce their magical powers. It is not for the juniors to taste tea art or tea."
Nan Yi suddenly realized that it was not a special invitation for him, and it was not an ordinary tea party. There was no need to comment on the taste of the tea. It was fine.
But he still hesitated a little and said: "Senior Sister invites you, so Yi can naturally find time. But I don't know how everyone will talk at the tea party? Yi is a villager, but he is afraid that he will be rude and hurt the atmosphere."
"Junior brother, don't worry too much. We will only know each other a little bit and exchange information. There is no need to pay attention to etiquette or restraint."
Seeing the look of hope in Qin Nan's eyes, Nan Yi thought about it and agreed.
Not to mention the magical effect of Enlightenment Tea, even considering the young monks from Chu County invited by the Qin family, Nan Yi could go there and get to know them.
After all, these young monks will probably have to interact with each other in the future.
