In ancient times, there are only three ways to achieve success: the first is purity, the second is prudence, and the third is diligence.
Whether it is a reminder from yesterday, a sudden awakening of conscience, or hindsight, a wise person will always be awakened by a word, move forward bravely, gallop endlessly, and then gradually get better.
Liu Yi, who had been roaming freely in the mountains and forests for more than ten days, suddenly calmed down after the dinner party and began to study hard and practice with extreme self-discipline.
Although Liu Yi himself didn't know, what was the purpose of studying hard for so many years?
Is it because he can settle accounts faster in the restaurant in the future? Ha ha.
Today, under the constant nagging of "Being diligent and frugal about everything", Liu Yi went back to bed and slept until it got daylight, then lazily got up. After filling up the firewood and cooking the meal with Yi Xian, they started reading together.
"There is a god in Tianzhu, named Shalu. In the first year of Yuanshou, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, Jing Lu, a disciple of Ph.D., was dictated by Yi Cun, the envoy of the King of the Dayue clan, in the Buddhist Sutra. He was the one who restored the throne." Liu Yi tilted his chin. , leaning on the desk, looking at the "Buddha Sutra" in Yi Xian's hand, and slowly told the sealed story.
"Oh? Do you also know the allusion of Yi Cun's teaching of scriptures?" Yi Xian paused and complimented casually, "It seems that you are not a playboy, and you still have some ink in your belly."
"Noisy! Although my father told me not to believe in Buddhism, not to worship Confucianism, and not to follow Taoism, he still wanted me to understand the principle of listening to all schools of thought. I still know a little bit about the story of Samana. If I really challenge the Buddhist allusions, I don't necessarily know less than you." Liu Yitong sat across from him and puffed out his chest.
"Yo! Yo yo! You are very different from when we first met! Have you entered my Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain, been illuminated by the Buddha's light, cleansed your soul, and suddenly felt like spring comes out of dead trees, and the sun shines after the rain?" He showed his arms. He put his arms on the table, squinted at Liu Yi, and joked.
"What, the Buddha's light has taken care of all your brothers?" Liu Yi straightened his hair and put on the wooden chopsticks. His big eyes looked up and down in a playful manner, with obvious teasing intent.
"Humph, you naughty boy, don't talk the same thing!"
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Seeing that their master was angry, the two big yellow dogs rushed over again, hid behind Yi Xian, and started barking at Liu Yi.
Ah! One-on-three, from the perspective of the formation, Yi Xian is still very bluffing in this aspect.
A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, so Liu Yi had no choice but to immerse himself in reading.
"If you take advantage of the wisdom of the people, you can do anything; if you use the strength of the people, you can win everything." Liu Yi lowered his head to read the book and murmured to himself, with a solemn expression. The yellowed slips were written like pearls, and he suddenly He put his hands on his hands and laughed, "This "Huainan Honglie" is actually a Taoist statement. It is broad and organized, and it is really well said!"
"It's a pity that at that time, Liu An, the king of Huainan, had an uneasy reputation, was deceitful, and had evil thoughts. In the end, he died and his reputation was destroyed. Huh! If you don't climb the mountain, you don't know how high the sky is. This is the kind of person you are talking about! However, he was a troublemaker The tofu is delicious." Yi Xian did not raise his head, and his words revealed his disgust for the Huainan King Liu An.
"The past will be told by posterity. Who can live a pure and innocent life like tofu?" Liu Yi also did not bow his head, "But you, if you hate it so much, why do you still carry this volume with you? Why do you have to read it again and again? ? Isn’t it duplicity!”
"You are so mature when you say this. But books are books, people are people, books are good books, people are not good people!" Yi Xian raised his head, his plump and round nose slightly raised, and he stared at Liu Yi motionless. , said, "Compared with the Yutang Treasure Book, I prefer the wind and sun of the world, so I will travel far away, traveling thousands of miles, to understand the truth of the world."
"Hey, hey, hey! Bald head, let's talk far away. I also like the wind and sunshine in the world. Who can not like the peaceful world in the world!"
Xiao Mianliu Yixian's temperament was really stubborn, no less stubborn than Dongfang Chunsheng. Seeing this Xian, Liu Yi suddenly wanted to argue with him. Liu Yi had to laugh, raised his head and looked at each other.
"The four fortunes cycle, and the cold and heat take care of themselves. Along the way, I have seen officials killing people, thieves killing officials, officials saving thieves, thieves protecting the people, and people disturbing officials. It's a mess. In this world, chaos is everywhere, how can It can be called a peaceful and prosperous age." Yi Xian closed his eyes, meditated quietly, and muttered something in his mouth, "Destiny comes and goes, fate comes and goes, in the final analysis, it's all about the fierce ghosts taking lives and vicious dogs protecting food. Rich people think Many people don't understand such a simple truth: "We must carry forward our ancestors' inheritance and strive for it; the common people in the market envy a prosperous life but refuse to work hard; there is no beginning and no end to failure."
"Well... the honest person is always happy without seeking anything, and the greedy person is always worried about not having enough. Is this the truth you are saying? I don't care whether it is right or wrong, or one-sided or not. I just ask, knowing that the world is like this, what do you think when you come out? Why?" Liu Yi leaned carelessly on the sofa, raised his thick eyebrows, and neither objected nor agreed to Yi Xian's words.
"The military way kills people, the Buddhist way saves people. If the Buddhist way is useless, I will use the Buddhist way to save people!"
As soon as Xian Xian finished speaking, a chill spread from his body. He was murderous and looked nothing like a Buddhist.
"You scared me! I'm younger than you!" Liu Yi looked frightened and showed his white teeth.
The atmosphere became calm and quiet again, and then Liu Yi screamed.
Outside the door, an old man with a furrowed head had been eavesdropping for a long time. After the screams came from inside the house, he touched the three copper coins hanging from his waist and tightened his sleeves. Mo, this little Jianliu is a little thoughtful and interesting!"
...
Before Jiazi, after Liu Chen, Emperor Shenwu of the Han Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, he inherited the legacy of the late emperor and worked for the benefit of the world. Materialism was rampant in the world, and it gradually became a prosperous age.
Important affairs of the family and the country are naturally closely related to ordinary people. When the prosperous times fell into the market, it was small things such as eating, drinking and having sex in ten days. As life gradually improved, from the end of Emperor Shenwu, in ordinary people, most of the people changed from what they used to be. The two meals a day became three meals a day, while the royal family had "four meals a day", which were divided into "dan food", "day food", "evening food" and "evening food". To put it more bluntly, it was breakfast. , lunch, dinner and midnight snack.
When you are full and warm, you will think about evil desires, and when you are full, there will naturally be more disputes! Especially some rich people, after they are full, want to eat better. They not only eat their own food, but also shamelessly put their chopsticks into other people's bowls and eat from other people's bowls, and they look extremely ugly while eating. .
Take the Lingyuan Liu family as an example. On the basis of the empire's light corvee and thin tax of thirty to one, they contacted local authorities and secretly increased the tax in Huaxing County. Hunters had to collect mountain tax, and merchants had to pay extra tax. Travel fees, transportation fees and site fees, craftsmen have to pay environmental protection taxes and nuisance taxes, vendors setting up stalls have to collect protection fees and street stall fees, etc., etc., they rely on their fangs as strong as steel to get out of other people's bowls. Tear off pieces of fat.
...
The book returns to its true story.
Around noon, the day meal has just arrived.
Death Shichen effortlessly shot back four or five mountain rabbits, Xia Qing panted and chopped back two bundles of dry firewood, Dongfang Chunsheng slowly peeled a few winter melons and was busy making soup, Liu Yi and Yi Xian ended their close relationship After two hours of academic classes, I walked out stretching my back.
The winter sun was shining brightly. The two of them looked at each other and were about to sigh, but were abruptly interrupted by Dongfang Yu who was in high spirits.
Dongfang Yu approached Yi Xian and Liu Yi with a smile on his face, "Brother Yi, I caught a bird in the side room. Let's open the meat tonight and eat the whole bird!"
The two of them took a closer look and saw that Dongfang Yu was indeed holding a bird in his hands. They saw that the bird had white shoulders, red feathers, a pointed beak and slender claws. Although it was still small, it looked very handsome. At this moment, it was drooping its head and slowly flapping its wings, looking half-dead. If its claws were not tied by Dongfang Yu, it would have been an extraordinary and handsome guy.
Liu Yi took a quick look and knew that the bird had an extraordinary origin. He was about to ask Yi Xian when he saw a man beside him step up and grab the bird. After untying it, he held the bird in his arms and caressed it carefully.
The bird looked at Yi Xian resentfully, as if it had suffered countless grievances, and kept fluttering into Yi Xian's arms, while Yi Xian looked at Dongfang Yu resentfully.
Dongfang Yu ignored Yi Xian's pretense of pity and put on an indifferent expression.
After chopping firewood, Xia Qing had nothing to do. Seeing that there was a lot of excitement here, she rushed over in three or two steps. When she arrived, Dongfang Yu was akimbo, with his head turned away, looking like he was doing nothing.
Xia Qing saw the bird in Yi Xian's arms. After examining it, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh, this is a good thing."
Liu Yi stepped forward and stroked the white feathers of the bird, and asked, "Boss Xia, what kind of bird is this?"
"Oh, this thing has a big origin! If my prediction is correct, this bird should be called the red-feathered golden eagle. This little thing was born with a proud character, steel claws and arrow feathers. When it grows up, its wingspan will exceed ten feet. It is extremely ferocious, can catch wolves and subdue eagles, and can communicate with its master's mind. It is the best among golden eagles. This thing is so precious that even the royal family of our Han Empire has never had it. This thing has few rivals when it grows up, and it is its only mortal enemy. It’s the Hanyu White Falcon that’s unique to the Great Qin Empire. Tsk, tsk, tsk, show me, it seems you have a lot of treasures in your hands!”
Xia Qing shook her big head, and after explaining the origin of the bird, she started to joke about it and said, "I have been extremely sleepy these two days. I saw something flapping back and forth in the vegetable basket, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't expect it." It's such a top quality. If I had known it, I should have secretly lit a fire and cooked it, so that I could have a meal of fairy meat all to myself. Unlike now, such a small piece of meat has to be shared with four or five of you. Evenly spread it out, one person There’s not enough for everyone to eat.”
Xiao Yixian is thin-skinned. When he first met a few people, he would be made to cry by the teasing of Xia Qing and Shi Shichen. After several days of dating, although he is about to cry without tears, he is not as uncontrollable in teasing as before. There he stared at Xia Qing with his big psychic eyes and bared his teeth.
The dead man Chen also gathered around and sighed, "There are rumors in the world that the red-feathered golden eagle is an ancient divine object. If you follow people with wisdom and spiritual energy, you may be able to transform into a divine beast in the world and achieve a supreme feat. There is no limit to the frosty sky and snow. , the red-feathered golden eagle is talking about this kind of eagle. I have been wandering in the world for so many years, and I have only seen it twice. Small one, I see that the red-feathered golden eagle in your arms is light in color and not big in size. , you must still be in your infancy, right? Haha, it seems that you have a chance!"
After hearing the compliment, Yi Xian's expression softened slightly. The red-feathered golden eagle, which seemed to be still in its growth stage, seemed to be a little resigned to the situation and began to look around, as if it wanted to break away from Yi Xian's arms and find a secluded place to hide.
Xia Qing rolled her eyes and suddenly looked remorseful, "Why haven't I found this thing in the past few days? If I had known earlier, I should have stewed him with Lao Chen last night, don't you think so, Lao Chen?"
Shi Chen laughed loudly and put his arm around Xia Qing's shoulders, "It's not too late to eat now. You go boil the water and I'll pluck the hair."
Finally, he rolled his eyes, couldn't hold back his emotions, let out a "wow" sound, and started crying again just like yesterday.
Xia Qing laughed heartily, put her hands behind her sleeves, and went to the kitchen with Shi Chen with a satisfied look on her face.
During the days when they lived in Wanfo Mountain, Xia Qing and Shi Shichen seemed to like to do nothing more than make Yi Xian cry.
Dongfang Yu's wonderful eyes flashed, and with a 'pop' sound, he slapped his bald head again, "Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry, you haven't eaten yet!"
This pretty girl with a tough head and a tough brain got angrier and angrier as she thought about it, so she simply started running after Yi Xian in the courtyard. Suddenly, bursts of howling could be heard in the small three courtyards.
Liu Yi was too lazy to join the 'battle group', so he took the red-feathered golden eagle in his arms, looked at it carefully, and muttered, "A fine horse with a carved bow, a beauty with a fast sword, eh, I really miss my red rabbit." Woolen cloth!"
As his thoughts turned around, Liu Yi looked at the handsome red-feathered golden eagle, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He shouted excitedly to Yi Xian in the courtyard, "Bald head, bald head, can this thing fly? If it can't fly, I'll be really stewed!"
Yi Xian ran and bumped around, crying and shouting, "Have you ever seen a bird that can't fly?"
Liu Yi pointed at his crotch and said, "Your bird can't fly!"
There were bursts of laughter throughout the courtyard.
