Chapter 8 Borrowing Books┃It's Always Been Like This, Isn't It Right?

There was no verbal communication between the two, and the young scholar stood on the shelf next to Cheng Qianren, not knowing what book he had taken down.

"When you occupy the sky, you don't separate the body from the body. Look at all the hexagrams and push the five elements in detail..." Cheng Qianren settled down to read another chapter, feeling dizzy and unable to admit his lack of wisdom, so he decided to borrow it for Zhu Liu to try. try.

There are lending offices on each floor of the library.

At the bottom of the stairs in the southeast corner, there is a black lacquered table with a raised head.There were eight stacks of thick files stacked neatly on the case, and a woman sat cross-legged behind the case, holding the files and reading them carefully.

She was wearing a college black deacon uniform, her black hair was tied up in a single bun, and an ebony hairpin was inserted obliquely.Although she couldn't tell her age, but seeing the corners of her eyes covered with fine lines, one could tell that she was no longer young.

However, it is such a woman who is no longer youthful and has no color, sitting quietly in the shadow of the library, but inexplicably reminds people of the words "red sleeves add fragrance".

Cheng Qianren saluted, and handed over the book and the badge of Nanshan's backyard: "Excuse me, I want to borrow this book."

The woman took it over, looked at it, and said slowly: ""Plum Blossom Yishu", not many people read this book, and there are only two copies in the building. The copy was borrowed yesterday, and what you are holding is the original. .Originally, I borrowed it for twelve taels a day, should I borrow it?"

Cheng Qianren was stunned for a moment.Ten, ten taels, too expensive.He borrowed books for a year, and for the first time, he charged a fee.

The woman seemed to see that he had a problem: "Well, let me help you find out who borrowed the reprint yesterday. If you know him, you can ask him to borrow it."

Cheng Qianren hurriedly cupped his hands: "It's time to work."

She said she wanted to investigate, but she didn't see her flipping through the file. She just closed her eyes, frowned slightly, and opened them again in a moment: "'Nanshan Backyard' Lin Duzhi, do you recognize him?"

"Tiansheng Huigen, Nanshan No. [-]" is known as the light of this year's "Double Court Fighting" literary examination. Who doesn't recognize such a character.Cheng Qianren didn't expect to bump into the book list with Xue Shen.

Although he had never met Lin Duzhi, he had heard a lot of rumors about how indifferent he was and who hated talking.So he had no choice but to be discouraged: "I don't know."

Somewhat unwilling, he asked in a low voice: "Can't you take a little less... I only borrow it for one night, and I will pay it back tomorrow morning. Five, five taels?"

The beautiful woman sighed and looked at him lovingly: "Silly boy, this is not buying cabbage in the West Market, the academy has rules."

Cheng Qianren was often ridiculed for being careful and careful in the past, but he never cared about it.However, at this moment, under the gaze of such a loving mother, he blushed suddenly, made a hasty confession, and wanted to put the book back.

"Let him put it on credit first, and I'll guarantee it for him."

This clear voice is like the sound of heaven.Turning around, I saw the young scholar standing behind him at some point.

The woman glanced at the scholar, opened a file, and found Hu Yizhi's name. Her complexion changed, and her originally gentle voice suddenly became severe: "You are guaranteeing him? Your own borrowing money has reached 100 taels on credit. According to the According to the rules of the school, teachers can credit up to 80 taels, when will you pay it back?!"

The young scholar lowered his head and touched his nose: "A few days ago, I lost a bet. I will pay it back next month, and I will definitely pay it back."

The woman sneered and was not polite: "Status cannot override the rules. People like you are a cancer of the academy!"

The turning point came too fast, before Cheng Qianren had time to salute and thank the scholar, the other party was scolded bloody.

The scholar was really good-tempered, so he had no choice but to smile at him: "You go over there to read first, I'll come here."

Seeing Cheng Qianren walk away, the young scholar lowered his voice: "San Niang, save me some face in front of the students. I will guarantee you the lifelong honor and great personality of the vice president, and I will definitely pay back the money next month."

The woman slammed the table and said sadly: "My lord, why do you take something you don't have as a guarantee?!"

I don't know what they talked about, but the scholar looked apologetic when he came back: "I'm sorry, it can't be done."

Cheng Qianren smiled gratefully, and bowed his hands to him: "It's okay, thank you very much."

Seeing that the other party is about the same age as him, he must have just been a deacon for a few years, so it's normal to be speechless.What's more, meeting by chance, being willing to speak up for yourself is already a great kindness.

The scholar's eyes fell on the scroll in his hand: "Borrowing this book, do you want to learn deduction?"

After all, the library is Nanyuan's resource, and Cheng Qianren is embarrassed to say that he has been lending it to people outside the academy: "Just to understand, I can't read it, I'm afraid I can't learn it."

The scholar stood by the window, and the clear sunlight in early spring cast a soft halo on him. He said, "I'll teach you."

Someone is willing to say a few words, Cheng Qianren can't wait for it, and he just can go home and tell Zhu Liu, so he earnestly said: "Please enlighten me."

The scholar glanced at the spring scenery outside the window, and spoke leisurely.

"Spring goes and autumn comes, the seasons turn and the stars move, a flower blooms and withers, a cicada lives and dies, all things in the world are governed by laws. Taoism is the sum of all laws..."

"When people explore the laws of all things and understand the world, they are enlightened. Using the laws to strengthen themselves is practice."

"If you want to explore the law, you can't just look at it with your eyes and think with your brain. That's why Wuxiu swings his sword day after day, and spiritual practitioners practice diligently to make tricks. Apart from this, is there any other way to enlightenment? ? Of course, calculate."

Cheng Qianren's eyes brightened slightly.

"At this moment when you and I are talking, how many dust particles are circulating in the galaxy? If time is still, I will take you to the nine heavens and count them one by one. Whether it is thousands of years or ten thousand years, it can always be counted. As long as there are When it is exhausted, it can be counted. Therefore, "everything is finite, and it is all in the law." This is the basis of deduction."

"Deduction technique is to explore Taoism with extreme calculation."

The scholar paused: "The above is the content of the preface to this book, now, what do you think?"

All of Cheng Qianren's cognitions about cultivation were just hearsay, never had anyone explained them to him so clearly.

This feeling of impact is like a fresh breeze blowing away the mist in front of my eyes, and the mysterious magic can suddenly be explained by scientific principles.

After a while, he came back to his senses and sighed sincerely: "It's amazing. The person who created the deduction technique is really amazing."

The scholar laughed: "Extreme calculation, do you want to learn?"

Cheng Qianren shook his head: "Although it's great, it doesn't conform to my three views. If you learn something, if you can't agree with it from the bottom of your heart, how can you practice it and learn it well? How can you achieve 'unity of action and knowledge'?"

The scholar murmured, "Three Views?"

Cheng Qianren was startled suddenly, and his face remained calm: "What I heard is probably a nonsense theory. The outlook on life, values, and world outlook are collectively called the three outlooks."

It wasn't that he was careless, in the past he only leaked words in front of Zhu Liu and his two friends.It's just that the temperament of the person in front of him is too gentle, like the spring breeze turning into rain in March, which makes people unknowingly relax and want to say anything.

Fortunately, the scholar no longer pursued that new word: "This is the principle recognized by the sages and saints. It has always been like this since human beings learned how to practice. Don't you believe it?"

Cheng Qianren thought, the other party had worked hard to explain to him for a long time, out of politeness, he should nod in agreement.

But he looked into those transparent and quiet eyes, somehow, lying became a very difficult thing, he said:

"Sorry, I don't believe it. It's always been like this, isn't it?"

Because when he came to this world, he broke the supreme law between heaven and earth - life and death.

How come "everything is finite, all in the law"?

In other words, he is the loophole in the laws of this world.

The scholar was not annoyed: "There is nothing to be sorry about, I like this saying. Come back tomorrow, and I will bring you a copy of "Plum Blossom Yishu". It's late today, it's time for lunch."

I don't know whether the term he likes refers to "three views" or "unbelief".

As soon as the scholar finished speaking, a deep and peaceful bell sounded from the roof of the library.There is a sound-proof formation here, so you can't hear the bells outside, and it depends on the bells in the building to tell the time.

Cheng Qianren realized that he had been chatting with the other party for so long.He saluted again.The scholar didn't refuse, said 'goodbye', then turned and walked upstairs.

Farewell to the kind young deacon, Cheng Qianren put the book back, and greeted the lady at the loan office before going downstairs.

After listening to the class today, the book is also available. He is in a happy mood and rushes towards the east gate with light steps.The road after school was still noisy and crowded, but he was in high spirits, looking at the flowers and scenery all the way, and his mind was flying.

Yesterday afternoon, I bought a carp and a chicken from West Market. I got up this morning to clean the carp and marinate the chicken.So Zhuliu will probably make fish soup and roast chicken at noon?

There is also the trouble of Gu Er spoiling half of it, no matter what he is, soldiers will block him, and water will cover him.

The flowers are sending each other, and the east wind from the willows is blowing on his face, blowing his light spring courtyard clothes.

There are many troubles for teenagers, but youth is always beautiful.
