"Sir! What do you mean by this sentence?"
Ning Caichen was packing up his teaching tools and about to leave when he suddenly heard a sweet voice asking.
Ning Caichen was very familiar with this sweet voice. It was a fox girl named Caiwei. Her name was changed after Ning Caichen read the Book of Songs to them.
The fox girl is passionate and admires talented people.
Caiwei is the female fox who teases Ning Caichen the most. She often gets involved in the name of knowledge, always getting very close, letting her fragrance linger on the tip of Ning Caichen's nose, using a pair of affectionate lips. Looking at him with her eyes, she touched Ning Caichen's body intentionally or unintentionally with her slender pink fingers.
Ning Caichen often had headaches. If she hadn't taken a step closer, Ning Caichen would have screamed for help.
It's not that the fox girl is not beautiful, but the virtue of a teacher and a student means that even a fox cannot mess around. Secondly, he really couldn't be distracted. Autumn was coming, and he and Ma Junji didn't have enough time to read, so they couldn't think of hanging out with the fox girl.
At this time, Caiwei came again, and Ning Caichen's expression did not change, because whenever there was some change, Caiwei would become more serious, and by pretending to be dumbfounded, she could ignore her resentful eyes.
He looked over and saw Caiwei holding a piece of paper, which read: "People can promote Tao, but Tao cannot promote people."
Ning Caichen said "Huh", because in the past when Caiwei came to ask questions, he mostly asked about poems and songs. She liked to hear him appreciating poems, so this was the first time she asked about the Analects of Confucius.
Ning Caichen smiled half-heartedly and said, "I already said this when I read the Analects of Confucius last year. Have you forgotten?"
Caiwei's face turned red with embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but I got distracted while studying and forgot about it."
Ning Caichen explained it by saying, "There is no Dao outside the human beings, and there is no one outside the Dao. The human heart is aware, but the Dao body is inactive." "The mind and will can exhaust the nature of Heaven, so it is said that humans can promote the Dao of Heaven; but they understand the nature of Heaven but do not understand it." Cultivation of one's own original intention will make it difficult for others to benefit even if they are righteous."
If Caiwei realized something, she smiled and said, "Thank you, sir, for clearing up the confusion."
She smiled so brightly and without charm, as if she was really happy after her question was answered. Then she did not pester Ning Caichen, but quickly wrote down Ning Caichen's solution to share it with friends around her.
"Is this a new trick?" Ning Caichen was confused. He stared at Caiwei silently, trying to see what else was wrong.
But Caiwei noticed his gaze and quickly waved her hand and said, "See you later, sir." Then she went back to do her own thing.
"Weird." Ning Caichen muttered, turned around and left.
In the following time, the two gentlemen discovered that the atmosphere of Huziyuan had changed drastically.
Although I teach and learn on weekdays, it is difficult for one to teach and painful for the other to learn.
The nature of foxes often causes mischief, teasing and fighting with each other, showing off coquettishness, and competing with each other. When they don't want to listen to a lesson, they can do tricks just by staring at a piece of white paper.
But now it seems that everyone has restrained their mind, studying hard, practicing hard, coming and going in a hurry. There is no one climbing the walls to dig holes in the buildings, no one catching bees and butterflies in the trees and flowers.
Just ask if you don't understand, and ask for advice from time to time. He is simply a model student who makes the private school teacher salivate whenever he sees her. Occasionally, a few relaxed, and there were other foxes on the side to encourage and comfort them.
Even the newly recruited foxes seem to be particularly obedient and sensible, and are far less difficult to control than the first batch of foxes last year.
Until one day, Ma Junji heard someone crying in the corner.
He followed the sound and saw a fox in the shape of a fox crying. He quickly asked: "Why are you crying? But someone bullied you?"
The fox's eyes were filled with tears. When he saw it was Ma Junji, he wiped his tears and said, "Thank you sir, no one bullied me."
Ma Junji squatted down to be level with her and asked, "Then why are you crying?"
The fox sobbed: "It's too difficult, it's too difficult. Mr. Gong taught us the art of telepathy and let us listen to the voices of other living beings. I'm lying here listening to the mice. I don't understand. I just listen. I don’t understand. Wow——”
"Why is it so difficult, wuwuwuwu."
Ma Junji was puzzled when he heard this, and said, "Why do you have to listen to mice?"
"Mr. Gong suggested that we start with things with small brains. Rats have small brains and can probably guess what they want to say. But I still don't understand. Why am I so useless..."
Ma Junji didn't know what to do, so he could only comfort him: "Take your time, you have to learn Tao step by step. If you are anxious, you will not be able to learn."
The fox wiped his tears and said, "Sir, you are right."
She sniffed and said, "The assessment is coming up in July, so we can't waste time like this."
Ma Junji understood that it turned out to be a matter of assessment. No wonder everyone seemed to have changed their tempers these days. Even the two gentlemen felt a little ashamed of themselves for working so hard.
However, Ma Junji still advised: "The way to practice is to open the bow string and relax it. If the bow string is tightened, it will be damaged."
The fox grunted perfunctorily and continued to lie by the wall listening to the mice outside the wall.
Ma Junji shook his head, and after finally discussing it with Ning Caichen, he told Gong Mengbi about the matter.
Gong Mengbi explained to them.
As Gong Mengbi said before, the path to immortality is hard to find. The fox's intelligence is already a lucky one, but it is still even more difficult for a wild fox to seek immortality.
The fox is between ghosts and lights, between fairies and monsters, and between characters. This is the characteristic of the fox. It is also a gift that can serve as a messenger, a shaman, and a bridge between immortals and gods.
Tianhu Academy's assessment often attaches great importance to the development of talents, which is why you have to learn bird songs after being admitted.
It's a pity that most foxes with such talents will fail due to ignorance, evil and other reasons.
Gong Mengbi taught them the spell of communicating thoughts and emotions, which was also a new insight he had after practicing the Tongtian method. It was a Tao method that developed the talents of foxes and could increase their chances of being admitted to Tianhu Academy.
Gong Mengbi said: "I have advised them to be relaxed and relaxed, but some students always work too hard. I will think of a way and I would like to trouble you two gentlemen to give them more advice."
It's about life and destiny, especially when it's full of hope and you can achieve success if you work hard, it always motivates the fox.
Gong Mengbi thought about it and prepared to hold a sacrificial event on the fifteenth day of every month.
One is to offer sacrifices to Mount Tai, and the other is to offer sacrifices to the bright moon.
There is no need to transform into a human during the sacrifice. Gong Mengbi takes the lead in transforming into a fox, and the fox crows and dances around the bonfire and altar.
The smoke in the small golden stove changes and the bonfire keeps beating. The foxes surround the bonfire to pay respect to the gods and pray for blessings.
This is the evolution of Gongmeng Bihu's illusory method of worshiping the moon, except that the objects of sacrifice include Mount Tai.
He has the Taiyue talisman, the statue of the Taishan Empress and the spirit, he also practices the moon worship method, and has the Taiyin illusory talisman, from illusion to reality, and then from reality to illusion.
Gong Mengbi also has many understandings of true and false, false and true.
When the foxes are performing sacrifices, their spiritual gods often coincide with Mount Tai and the bright moon. With the favor of Mount Tai and the bright moon, their spiritual wisdom becomes more enlightened and their practice becomes easier.
Sacrifice is held once a month.
The day of sacrifice has become the time that foxes look forward to most. At that moment, you can forget all your worries and merge into the vastness and vastness of the world.
