Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Seeing the other party's sincerity, Jiang Qingyu couldn't help being slightly taken aback:

"I don't blame Uncle Xu."

"When it was rumored that I was an idiot, many people in the mansion looked down on me, but Uncle Xu always defended me. He not only cared for Ziyan Court a lot, but also punished the maids who talked about me behind my back. See it."

"Well, since Uncle Xu insisted, I will accept this gift with the cheek to accept it."

"Bento is the elder's reward to the younger."

Jiang Qingyu took the wooden box with both hands.

Seeing that the gift was accepted, Xu Erhu straightened up:

"The prince is magnanimous, it is the fortune of the palace!"

"The old slave wanted to go back to report to the prince, so he took his leave first, and the prince also rested early, remember to call the servants to come to the old slave if you have anything to do."

Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly, watching his back disappear little by little.

After Xu Erhu left, he couldn't help opening the wooden box and taking a look...

Quickly snapped it back on.

"My lord, what's inside?"

Xiaoman, who didn't see anything clearly, looked curious.

Jiang Qingyu smiled and said:

"I'll ask you a question, little girl, do you know why Mr. Xun Yong, who sacrifices wine to Jixia Academy, is called a semi-saint?"

Xiaoman's eyes lit up:

"I know this!"

"I heard that it's because the old man has written three books in his life, and after reading each book, someone has an epiphany!"

After she finished speaking, she sighed again.

Speaking of which, last year she had a chance to become Mr. Xun's first female disciple, but something went wrong and she failed to become a teacher.

It is a great pity!

"Yes, the three works, "Tian Lun", "Zheng Lun", and "Li Lun", all of them are Confucian classics!"

Jiang Qingyu threw the wooden box to the little girl with a complicated expression:

"This box contains half of the original version of "On Heaven."

Chapter 194 The conditions for the first host to make a move

The original half of "On Heaven"?

The little girl was startled.

It is rumored that when Mr. Xun Lao wrote "Tian Lun", it was a dark rainy night decades ago.

At that time, the capital happened to encounter the once-in-a-century rain disaster.

It was raining heavily, and the wind was blowing, and it went down day and night for three days and three nights!

The people were terrified, and they all climbed to the roof to avoid the disaster. The previous old emperor of Chu State ordered to send troops to rescue the victims, and opened the inner city gate to transfer the people to the higher palace.

However, due to insufficient manpower, only a small number of people were rescued.

Just when people are panicking.

Mr. Xun Lao wrote the first word of "Tian Lun".

With one stroke, suddenly, countless righteous aura descended from the clouds.

Suddenly, the whole capital was as bright as day!

At the same time, the voice of the old man reciting the article rang in everyone's ears.

Every time he wrote a word, he read a word.

Even though he was in the academy, every citizen in the capital heard his recitation and started to recite unconsciously.

It seems that hundreds of thousands of students read together at night!

Wait until the last word of "Tian Lun" falls.

Above the capital, the black clouds receded and the wind stopped and the rain stopped!

The people were so grateful that they knelt down in the direction of Jixia Academy and shouted "Saint"!

But on the second day, Xun Yong said modestly:

The word saint is ashamed and dare not be called a saint, and he was not alone in eliminating the rain disaster last night.

So some people speculated that the ancestor of the Dragon Raising Realm from Jing's lineage had also secretly helped.

The awe-inspiring righteousness that descended from the clouds that day was divided into three parts, one part was absorbed by Mr. Xun and turned into cultivation, the other part became the background of Jixia Academy, and the last small part was absorbed by the original "Tian Lun"!

Therefore, "Tian Lun" originally became one of the few treasures of the academy!

Later, a student who won the first place in the spring examination was lucky enough to borrow "Tian Lun", once he suddenly realized his innate knowledge, it made countless people covet this book!

But the owner of this book is Mr. Xun Yong, the legendary legend of picking up stars. No matter how jealous outsiders are, they dare not offend Zhengqian!

After all, Mr. Xun is loyal to the royal family!

But in the capital city, there is an ancestor of Jing's lineage sitting in town, who is suspected to be the only half-immortal in the world of raising dragons!

"Hasn't the original version of "Tian Lun" been sealed up in Jixia Academy?"

"When was it stolen by an outsider and torn in half?"

Xiaoman was surprised for a while, and at the same time kept opening the wooden box to take a few peeks, as if suspecting that it was just a fake.

"Don't read it, the book is real."

Jiang Qingyu rubbed the little girl's head, her eyes doting:

"I can feel that there is a lot of pure righteousness left on every page. If I fully understand the true meaning of the book, I can incorporate it into myself, maybe..."

"There is a chance to realize the innate."

The little girl had also heard the conversation between Jiang Shan and Jiang Qingyu just now, and knew that her young master was going to compete with Fan Yu, a student from Jixia Academy, in the capital in a month.

She originally planned to secretly send a few killers to tie up Fan Yu and abolish his cultivation, so that Jiang Qingyu could easily win.

But now it seems...

"My lord, you can feel the awe-inspiring righteousness in the book. Does that mean that you, like Fan Yu, can follow the path of Confucianism and suddenly realize the innate nature?"

Xiaoman looked happy.

But Jiang Qingyu remained silent.

Epiphany innate?

How can it be so easy!

Fan Yu began to study Confucianism since he was a child, and he didn't realize his innateness until he was 32 years old. He is already a rare Confucian genius in decades!

And I only have one month left, even with the help of half of "Tian Lun", it is absolutely impossible to catch up with the other party by this way!

"In Jixia Academy, many students have borrowed "Tian Lun" and took away a lot of awe-inspiring righteousness. Now I have only half of the copy in my hands. Compared with the past, the awe-inspiring righteousness is completely gone. one."

"So the road of Confucianism is not easy for me."

Jiang Qingyu changed the subject:

"What makes me more interested is that Uncle Xu's martial arts cultivation is only at the peak of the Bright Moon Realm, and he has been staying in the palace for the past few decades. Where did he get the half of the original "Tian Lun" from?"

"He and the Confucian sect have never had half an intersection!"

Xiaoman blinked:

"Could it be that the prince lent the hand of Steward Xu to the young master?"

Jiang Qingyu shook her head:

"Uncle Xu doesn't need to lie. If it belongs to my father, he wouldn't say it was a congratulatory gift from me."

"So, this thing must belong to him personally."

But why would a legendary treasure of the Star Reaching Realm appear in the hands of a housekeeper of the Haoyue Realm?

There is a distance of thousands of miles between the Jubei Palace and the capital!

It's really hard to guess.

"Young master, don't think too much, let's rest first!"

Xiaoman smiled mischievously:

"If you have any doubts, just ask Butler Xu in person some other day?"

Jiang Qingyu nodded:

"Okay, it's getting late, you go and clean your room first, I'll move these wooden boxes in by myself, and come and take a look with me after you finish cleaning, how about it?"

"Okay!"

The little girl smiled.

……

After a stick of incense.

The two masters and servants gathered in the room and began to disassemble the boxes containing gifts one by one.

It is worth mentioning that the two daughters, Lvqi and Duyou, were also called by Xiaoman, saying that they might encounter some unrecognizable objects, and asked the two daughters to help identify them together.

After the first gift was opened, it was a blood-colored jade pendant the size of a palm, with a pattern of a phoenix resting on a lyre.

"This is……"

"Feng Yuanyu!"

Xiaoman exclaimed, and introduced:

"A hundred years ago, there was a husband and wife lecturer in Taishan Academy. The wife was good at playing the piano, and the husband was good at playing the zither."

"The two couples are deeply in love, and they are a pair of immortal couples that everyone envies."

"But it's a pity that my wife was born with a terminal illness and is destined not to live past the age of 45."

"When she was seriously ill, the husband and wife sang together for the last time. Their love was so deep that they improvised the famous song "Phoenix Comes"!"

"At the end of the song, a vision of a phoenix appeared in the sky, which attracted spiritual energy empowerment, and both of them were promoted to the Sunshine Realm!"

"but……"

"Because of composing this song, my wife was physically and mentally exhausted and passed away."

"Before she died, she poured her cultivation into a jade pendant she carried with her."

"And the husband, like her, abandoned the cultivation of the Sunshine Realm, injected it into the jade pendant, and then chose..."

"Martyrdom."

Jiang Qingyu opened another gift from Taishan Academy.

Inside is indeed another jade pendant——

The pattern is a phoenix standing on a zither.

"It's Huang Yuanyu!"

Xiaoman picked it up and couldn't put it down.

Since the grade of jade is not top-notch, after hundreds of years, more than [-]% of the spiritual power in the jade pendant has been lost, and its value has been greatly reduced.

But for her, what is important is the symbolic meaning of this pair of jade pendants!

"do you like it?"

"If you like it, I will send it to you."

Jiang Qingyu picked up Feng Yuanyu with a smile and tied it around her waist.
