Zhixian led the two children back to the monastery.
This journey back and forth only takes half a month.
Xiao Yang Jian seemed to have changed.
He became more interested in reading.
Especially prefer reading history books.
I still refuse to make the effort to memorize the Six Classics of self-cultivation.
Zhi Xian saw it.
But no longer blame too much.
In practicing martial arts, Yang Jian has an extra partner and an opponent.
Li Shun is two years younger than Yang Jian. Under the training of Abbot Fanjing, his basic skills in boxing and kicking are quite solid.
Two competitive little guys got together to practice martial arts diligently.
Li Shun was not used to it when he first came to the nunnery.
Not only do I often talk about Master Fanjing and the dog named Dahuang.
I still miss the carefree life in Daqingshan very much.
Everything here is easy to follow the arrangements of Master Zhixian.
"Get up, sleep, practice martial arts, and study."
There are certain rules.
Do your best according to the rules one by one.
There's nothing wrong with being sloppy.
Shunzi couldn't stand it, as if she was being tortured.
In the mountains, Master Fanjing taught him how to read and read some Buddhist scriptures, which he seemed to understand.
At this point, Zhixian has to start over from scratch.
It gave Shunzi a headache.
Ling Shunzi also started practicing martial arts.
Every move Zhixian taught him was done very well.
Each set of movements has been practiced to perfection.
The days passed by.
It's like the day is over my knees.
Master Zhixian arranges every day in a relaxed and relaxed manner.
It made the two little guys nervous and comfortable.
Gradually, Li Shun adapted to this boring but regular life.
This feeling is like lying down in bed after a busy day at get off work and instantly feeling that the whole world is peaceful.
The next day Zhixian rushed back from outside with a gloomy face.
He called out as soon as he entered the door.
"Narayan."
Yang Jian came out of the study room.
"Li Shun, come here too."
Li Shun also walked out of the study obediently.
Zhixian asked angrily.
"When you grow up, you don't listen to your teacher anymore. You dare to go out for fun and drink. Not only that, you become drunk and even smash other people's pubs."
"Master, we didn't go crazy drinking."
Yang Jian knelt down and said.
"The wine was mixed with water, so we got angry and threw the bowl on the ground."
Li Shun on the side had never seen the master so angry.
He also knelt down and said.
"You can't blame the young master for this, it's our fault. After we finished our homework yesterday afternoon, we took the horses out to practice riding. When we walked to the town and saw a hotel, we told the young master that Abbot Fanjing taught us how to use it when we were in the mountains. The grains were boiled into wine, and herbs were soaked in the wine to treat the master's leg pain. One time when I was making wine, I felt that the wine was particularly fragrant, so I drank a bowl and got drunk. I slept for a whole day and a night before I woke up."
"Master, don't blame Li Shun. This matter is Naluo Yan's fault."
Yang Jian interrupted Li Shun.
Say it quickly.
"It was very interesting for us to listen to Li Shun's talk about wine. We have never had a drink at this age. So we jumped off the horse and took Li Shun into the hotel. We ordered two bowls of wine to taste what it tasted like. Li Shun took a sip first. I just said that the wine was too bland and must have been mixed with water, so we argued with the shop owner, and then he started swearing and then we smashed the bowl with Li Shun."
The two little guys told the whole story.
Zhixian suddenly felt that drinking and smashing bowls was not as serious as what was reported in the town.
Wisdom wants to cure Yang Jian's increasingly revealing temperament of a young man who is fearless and loves to compete.
So he asked.
"Which one of you threw the bowl first?"
Yang Jian said in fear.
"it's me."
"No need to ask, I know it's you as well."
Zhixian looked directly at Yang Jian.
"The general's son is really amazing, but have you ever thought about it, who dares to open a hotel in the town in these hot and troubled times? If he mixes the wine with water, you will smash the bowl, but if he is unhappy, he may be punished. Where is your life and the head of your general father?"
"Master, just because of the large dragon sword in my father's hand and his powerful abilities, the person who could kill my father is still in his mother's womb."
Zhixian said angrily.
"Shut up, Luo Yan still dares to lie. You and I are in troubled times. A character like yours can easily bring trouble to yourself. If you don't change, I may not be able to save you as a teacher in the future."
Yang Jian muttered.
"Master, I know I was wrong. We shouldn't smash other people's bowls, let alone tell lies."
"Everyone, please get up. Just don't cause trouble in the future."
Zhixian's tone became slightly calmer.
"Na Luo Yan, go get us the sword placed on the shrine."
Yang Jian took down the dusty sword from the shrine.
Zhixian took it over and said.
"Luo Yan, do you know the origin of this sword?"
Yang Jian shook his head and said.
"have no idea."
"The shrine in the monastery was originally dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha, but why was there a sword placed there?"
Yang Jian replied.
"Because the Holy Sage does not want to see the Buddha, it is not convenient for the Holy Sage's general to worship the Buddha in his home. You have told me about this. I don't know why the sword Narayana was put aside on the shrine."
"This sword was left to us by your father when he left Wuchuan. He was afraid that I would use it to protect you in case of an emergency."
Zhixian said and put the sword on the coffee table.
"According to your father, this is an extremely sharp sword. He got it from the monarch of a vassal country. I enshrined it on the shrine since we moved into the monastery. The sword has been there for more than ten years. Hidden deep in the scabbard, we have never taken it out, because once the sharp sword is taken out of the sheath, it means bloodshed or even heads falling to the ground. When you read history books and military books, don’t you often encounter the word Tao Hui? What about Luo Yan? What does the word Tao mean?"
Yang Jian replied without thinking.
"Tao is the scabbard of the sword."
Zhixian continued.
"Then what's Tao Hui's explanation?"
Yang Jian replied.
"Taohui means to hide the edge, just like hiding a sword in its scabbard."
Zhi Xian nodded and said.
"Yes, it is not difficult to explain these two words literally, but it is really not easy to truly understand and use them well. For example, when you smashed bowls in public, have you thought about forbearance and thought about Tao Hui? Another example is the year before last. When you go to Prajna Temple and see a yellow dog rushing towards you, you hit the dog with a stick without thinking. Have you ever thought about the consequences if the stick really kills Dahuang? Can you still be like this with Li today? Are you a brother-in-law? When you hear unpleasant words or see unpleasant things, you will get angry and furious. You have lost even the most basic self-restraint, so why are you talking about being humble?"
The two little guys listened silently and attentively.
Especially Li Shun, who is two years younger.
His eyes lit up when he heard it.
Zhixian continued.
"Also, have you ever thought about it. Soon you will be recruited into the army or enter the official career. In these troubled times, your journey will often be through dangerous shoals or stormy waves. In one sentence, one step will not be the best. If you don't walk steadily, you may be killed or even implicated in the nine clans. If a person can't protect himself first in the world, what ambitions can he talk about? Then what is Taohui? Taohui is to learn to make the heart into a trap. If we put everything in the world into a box, Taohui is still what people think. We must not write it on our faces, but we should hide it tightly. Taohui should be like us monks. If he wants to become a righteous person, he must be a monk for the rest of his life. Do your homework and practice it seriously."
Yang Jian said.
"Master, Luo Yan understands."
Li Shun was not far behind and followed Yang Jian.
"Master, Li Shun also understands."
Zhixian looked at Li Shun's childish face.
ask.
"What do you understand?"
"The sword placed on the shrine is like the word Tao Hui hanging in the Zhongtang. It is used to remind the young master to always remember it."
Zhixian smiled.
Then she stopped her smile and said to Li Shun.
"We have estimated that the fate between Master and you will not last long. There is almost no difference between us and Naluoyan here, because you are both my disciples. You and Naluoyan are like a pair of brothers. You You also need to understand that your identities are inherently different, and you have to accept your fate, so no matter where you are in the future, your responsibility is to protect Narayan."
Li Shun said sincerely.
"Master, Li Shun has never forgotten his identity. Master Fanjing made it clear to Li Shun one night before going down the mountain."
The 20th year of the reign of the Western Wei Dynasty.
AD 553.
13-year-old Yang Jian and 11-year-old Li Shun were taken back to Yang Mansion in Chang'an.
Before leaving, Zhixian took down the sword from the shrine and gave it back to Yang Jian.
After completing her mission of raising and educating, she soon left the monastery and returned to the ascetics who had been away for 13 years.
Yang Jian returned to his home in Chang'an and entered the Taixue Hall of Taiguo Temple to study.
Taixue is an institution that specializes in cultivating the children of royal relatives and nobles. Most of the civil and military officials of the dynasty came from that period.
On the first day when Yang Jian entered Taixue, he was received alone by his professor.
My husband asked him several questions about history books, all of which were relatively simple.
Yang Jian responded appropriately.
Yang Jian was immediately admitted to the advanced class.
Because Yang Jian comes from a well-known family of military commanders, he is at least half a head taller than the average classmate of similar age.
In addition, Yang Jian has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. His arms are broad, his body is strong, and his steps are light and vigorous.
He attracted special attention as soon as he entered school.
Not long after Yang Jian sat down in a designated seat, he felt something on his back, as if someone was caressing something on his back.
He wanted to turn his head to see what happened, but he didn't dare to act rashly when he saw his husband giving a lecture on the stage.
At the same time, he vaguely felt that the classmates around him were watching him.
Yang Jian leaned back a little to remind the people behind him not to move on his back.
As soon as his back touched the edge of the table, he heard a cry of "Ouch".
He became nervous instinctively.
Then there was a muffled "bang" sound.
It was as if something hit him on the back.
So at the same time, the people behind him shouted "Hey yo hey yo" loudly.
The whole classroom was immediately in an uproar.
The gentleman on the podium asked sharply.
"What are you making a fuss about?"
Liu Pi waved his hands and pointed at Yang Jian in the front row with a grin.
"Sir, he bullies people."
"Oh, is it so?"
The teacher asked, looking at the new student with great surprise and astonishment.
"Yang Jian, what happened just now?"
"We sit in the front and don't know what is going on behind us."
Yang Jian stood up when he heard his husband calling his name and said.
"We didn't bully the people behind us."
After thinking about it, Mr. Yang felt that Yang Jian's explanation was correct.
Just ask a person sitting next to Liu Pi.
"Zheng Yi, tell me what happened just now?"
"Yes, yes, oops."
Zheng Yi stood up and saw everyone looking at him, so he had to bite the bullet and speak.
"It was Liu Pi who punched the new classmate in the back. The new classmate didn't cry out in pain, but he himself screamed out in pain. We also felt strange and didn't know what was going on."
The teacher walked to Liu Pi's desk and said.
"If you hit someone, the bad guy should complain first."
"No, he bullied us first."
Liu Pi bit Yang Jian and refused to let go.
He also stretched out his two hands and said.
"Sir, look at both of our hands being injured by him. They hurt so much."
Sure enough, Liu Fang's cross was already bruised.
The right wrist is red and swollen.
The gentleman was confused by this sight.
I had no choice but to turn around and ask Yang Jiandao again.
"His two hands are indeed injured. How did you get him like this?"
"Students don't know."
Yang Jian looked aggrieved.
"After you appointed me to sit down in this position, I kept feeling someone rubbing my back. I just leaned back a little to remind the people behind me to stop rubbing my back. Later, The people behind started shouting.”
After listening a lot, Mr. Yang Jian finally saw something fishy in his back.
On Yang Jian's back was a piece of white silk with a turtle painted on it.
The gentleman's face changed drastically. He pointed at Yang Jian's back and asked Liu Pi.
"Did you do this?"
Liu Pi muttered.
Immediately took off the silk ribbon on Yang Jian's back.
He drooped his head and was speechless.
"It's your own fault."
The gentleman said something and walked towards the podium.
Two days later, in the evening, Li Shun rode a horse and led a horse to the gate of Taixue to pick up Yang Jian.
As soon as Yang Jian and Li Shung dismounted at the gate of Yang Mansion, a servant came to report.
"The eldest young master is back. You go to his study to meet him."
"Get on with it now."
Yang Jian handed the reins to Li Shun and entered his father's study.
Seeing his father and mother sitting in the study, he greeted them one by one.
His father asked him to sit on a chair opposite.
The mother left the servant and made a cup of tea for her son herself.
Then my father went straight to the point.
"Jian'er, we have just returned to the capital from overseas, and people have been praising us one after another, saying that our family is going to have a bad boy. They all agree that our son has magical powers. He can kill the son of the great minister Nong just by sitting still. My hands are injured, what's going on? Can you show your father and mother the magic skills?"
Yang Jian was stunned when he heard this.
"What kind of magic do we have?"
His legs went weak and he knelt down.
Until now, Yang Jian himself didn't understand what happened and how Liu Pi's hands were injured.
No wonder my classmates seem to be avoiding me when I go to school these two days.
They seemed to look at themselves a little strangely.
Yang Jian, who was kneeling on the ground at this moment, could only tell what happened on the first day of school as far as he knew.
"That's all, what's going on?"
Yang Zhong was confused and didn't understand what he was hearing.
"Jian'er, you didn't understand what happened at that time."
Yang Jian said aggrievedly.
"We sit in the front, so we don't know what the people behind them are doing."
"Jian'er, what you just said doesn't match what's being said outside."
Yang Zhong took a sip of tea.
Still confused.
"Aren't you lying?"
Yang Jian replied.
"How dare you lie, kid?"
"Get up and sit down to talk."
Yang Jian stood up and sat down and said.
"The child guessed that we might have leaned back and pinched his fingers on the edge of the table. He cried out in pain. When we were nervous, we couldn't help but breathe heavily. He punched me in the chest. Angrily, he twisted the wrist of his other hand. It was nothing more than what happened. This was not a magical skill. At that time, the gentleman came over. He knew the whole situation and gave Liu Pi a fierce look and said He brought it upon himself."
"Jian'er, sir, did you really say that?"
Yang Jian said.
"It's indeed what my husband said. He was very angry and made a loud noise, and all the students heard it."
Yang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
He pondered for a moment and then said.
"Anyway, you have become famous this time. Everyone in the court knows that the son of General Yang Zhong is very talented at a young age. This is not a good omen. Your father is out fighting in the war, attacking cities and building strongholds, and is powerful in all directions. We have to be careful when we return to the capital. Do you know who the children in Taiyuan University are? They are all so great that they cannot be offended. They say that Liu Pi, whose father was the Great Minister of Agriculture, is a meritorious official on the pilgrimage. Although Liu Pi is young, he is very meritorious, just like entering his own home, often playing with the princes and grandsons."
Come out of your father's study.
When Yang Jian returned to his study, he saw a sword lying on the desk.
His heart couldn't help but tremble violently. The master's teachings were deafening and still ringing in his ears.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally committed a big taboo as soon as he entered Taixuemen.
He actually became the center of attention.
