After knowing Zhou Xun's identity, everyone in the [Huashan Sect] retained some respect for him.
Although Linghu Chong and the others did not like reading, under Yue Buqun's gaze, they could only hold up the books in dismay.
Strange to say, these people who dislike restraint looked down upon the officials of the imperial court and often called them "dog officials", but they respected learned scholars very much.
If someone wins the first prize in the exam, it will be Wenquxing who comes to earth!
But didn't these "literary stars" eventually become officials? !
Yue Buqun wanted to find out more information about Hong Kang from Zhou Xun, but Zhou Xun was not really a young boy. He was well-read and sensible, and with Hong Kang's advice, he could deal with Yue Buqun calmly. Calm down.
Zhou Xun holds the book, his posture is straight and impressive.
He recited it clearly and in a melodious voice: "The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection."
But a group of Huashan disciples below were parroting what they said.
"The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection."
But this is like a duck quacking. It reads dryly without speaking, and has no rhyme at all. Sometimes the sound of a word drags on for a long time.
Zhou Xun frowned. This way of reciting was inferior to those of children.
He continued to read: "After knowing the stop, there will be concentration. After being calm, one can be still. After being still, one can be at peace. After being at peace, one can be concerned. After being concerned, one can gain. Things have their origin and end, and things have their beginning and end. If you know the order of things, you will get the shortcut."
Disciple of Huashan: "Knowing cessation can lead to concentration, concentration can lead to tranquility, and tranquility can lead to peace..."
Zhou Xun put down his book, unable to continue reading like this.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Do you know where this passage comes from?"
Lu Dayou shouted: "I know this, it comes from the book "The University". Brother Zhou, we have read this before."
Lauderno said at this time: "Junior Brother Lu, Master has ordered that you must respectfully address Mr. Zhou in class."
Lu Da slapped his forehead and made a funny look: "Oh, I forgot again! Yes, my name is Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Xun smiled and asked, "Then do you know what this content means?"
Lu Dayou suddenly felt stupid: "I..."
He remembers scratching his ears and cheeks, looking like a monkey, which caused a burst of laughter from his fellow apprentices.
Zhou Xun couldn't help but laugh. He explained: ""The Great Learning" is a book with a broad and thoughtful style. It is based on people and aims at cultivating gentlemen."
"The philosophy of "The Great Learning" benefits the country and the people, and is a guide for people to achieve success and establish themselves in the right way. The full text has a comprehensive outline and complete principles. Its philosophy is subtle, from the inside out, from oneself to others, from abstract concepts to practical skills, and its purpose is Be an adult and a gentleman.”
Zhou Xun was very excited as he spoke, but the light in Linghu Chong's eyes was gone, and each of them felt that the voices in their ears were getting more and more ethereal.
…………
Travel in a hurry for several days.
Hong Kang took Pang Qingyang across the boundary between the two lakes and entered the Songshan area.
Pang Qingyang asked with hatred in his eyes: "Brother, what should we do? Kill him directly?"
Hong Kang said: "The seventy-two peaks of Songshan Mountain are mainly divided into Shaoshi Mountain and Taishi Mountain. [Shaolin Sect] and [Songshan Sect] are both on it. We must destroy [Songshan Sect] before Shaolin comes to support." High-level.”
Pang Qingyang asked: "Brother, where are those [Songshan Sect] disciples?"
Looking at her clenched teeth, Hong Kang sensed her rising murderous intent and frowned.
"Qingyang, calm down!"
Hong Kangyun's thunder sounded like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning ringing in Pang Qingyang's ears.
"It's true that we are here for revenge, but we can't let the murderous intention go to your heart."
Pang Qingyang's voice was cold, but his eyes became much clearer at the same time: "I know, brother."
Hong Kang said: "Those ordinary disciples can just give up their martial arts. If there are those who are loyal to Zuo Lengchan, then they will be eradicated."
Pang Qingyang nodded.
then,
Go up to Songshan Mountain.
…………
Taishi Mountain is the east peak of Songshan Mountain, and the highest peak is "Junji Peak".
However, "Junji Peak" is not the sect of [Songshan Sect], "Shengguan Peak" is.
The top of Songshan Mountain was called "Eji" in ancient times. The Junji Zen Temple at the top of Songshan Mountain was originally a Buddhist temple, but in the past hundred years it has become the residence of the head of the Songshan Sect.
In this Zen courtyard, there are many ancient cypresses in the courtyard, and there are no Buddha statues in the hall. Although the main hall is huge, it is not as good as the main hall of the [Shaolin Sect].
Zuo Lengchan was wearing a khaki cloth robe, with a mean and stern face, firm eyes, and blazing ambition.
Although his name has the word "Zen" in it, he is not a disciple of Buddhism, and his martial arts is close to that of Taoism.
He looked down at the position of the deputy head: "Junior brother Tang, why haven't you seen three junior brothers, Sima De, Zhang Jingchao, and Zhao Sihai for so many days?"
Tang Ying'e replied: "Maybe I was delayed on the road?!"
Zuo Lengchan said: "After all, [Blackwater Tower] is near [Hengshan Sect]. Before leaving, I specifically told you not to reveal your identity and to rush back as soon as the matter is done. Now I am taking my time! Hmph!!"
Tang Ying'e comforted him: "Brother, Brother Zhao, he always does things properly and nothing will happen. Don't worry!"
suddenly,
There was a sound of panic outside, as well as various shouts and curses.
Zuo Lengchan glared and shouted: "What are you doing outside? They're so noisy!"
At this time, a man stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, head master, let me go out and take a look."
This man is about forty years old, of medium build, extremely thin, with two whiskers on his upper lip, and scorching eyes. He obviously has extraordinary internal strength. He is Fei Bin, the fourth junior brother of Zuo Lengchan, the head of the [Songshan Sect], nicknamed "Big "Songyang Hand" is famous in the martial arts world.
Zuo Lengchan nodded and said, "Okay, Junior Brother Fei, go ahead!"
Fei Bin went out aggressively, but the noise outside seemed to be still the same, which made Zuo Lengchan very unhappy.
In less than a cup of tea, a disciple ran in in panic.
With a face full of fear, he said: "Master...master...there are...enemies attacking the mountain. Master Fei...he has..."
Zuo Lengchan and Tang Ying'e looked at each other, feeling something bad.
Tang Ying'e's face straightened: "Tell me carefully, what happened to Senior Brother Fei?"
The disciple said tremblingly: "Dead...dead."
"Crack!!"
Zuo Lengchan threw the tea cup away in anger.
He took the iron sword with him and said with a gloomy expression: "Let's go out and have a look. Who dares to act recklessly in [Songshan Sect]?!"
Several other Taibao officers followed suit.
Although Tang Ying'e was very angry when he heard the news of Fei Bin's death, he had a delicate mind.
Fei Bin's martial arts skills were definitely not weak, and he was ranked among the top three in the entire [Songshan Sect]. In such a short period of time, he was defeated by the enemy, and he didn't even have a chance to run back for help.
"How many people are coming? What are their identities?"
"Just...just two people...a man and a woman."
"Just two people!!?"
Zuo Lengchan and the others were not slow, but when they came out of the main hall, they felt that there were more than a dozen breathing efforts outside.
As soon as he came out, Zuo Lengchan's eyes were about to burst.
There are already hundreds of disciples lying crookedly on the ground...
