Confucian and Taoist scholar

Du Ning left the liberal arts college and passed by a bookstore, so he bought a few books and took them home to read.

These books are the classic works of the saints, the history of the countries in the Holy Forest Continent, and an elegant collection of modern poetry.

Because he offended Jieyingshe, Du Ning had already lost his way of making a living. He did not dare to work part-time elsewhere, otherwise he would be ruthlessly kicked out.

Fortunately, Du Ning got fifty taels of silver from the Xuemei Cultural Festival last time. As long as he lives frugally, it will not be difficult to celebrate the New Year.

After the liberal arts college enrolls students next year, Du Ning will sign up for a student status, and then take the exam for merit as a child student.

As long as he has fame and fame, whatever Du Ning does will be much more convenient than it is now.

During this period, you should read more books to enrich your knowledge.

Du Ning took out "Bamboo and Stone" and put it on the desk. Looking at the poem with his eyes, he seemed to feel an invisible breath coming to his face, which made him temper his heart and courage.

Closing his eyes, Du Ning entered the Wen Palace with his spiritual thoughts.

A star made of "Bamboo Stone" sparkles, and the light exchange rate below forms a small vortex.

"The whirlpool of literary courage!"

Du Ning was surprised and delighted. He didn't expect "Bamboo Stone" to have such a miraculous effect, allowing him to create a literary and bold whirlpool when he was still in high school.

In time, if you can be promoted to a ninth-grade scholar, you will be able to develop a literary talent.

Literary courage is the unique spiritual power of scholars. Once you set a certain goal for yourself, the power of literary courage will eliminate the negative effects of various emotions until you succeed.

To temper one's heart and temper one's courage is to temper not only one's own heart, but also the courage of a scholar!

Du Ning left Wen Gong, opened his eyes again, boiled himself a pot of hot water, poured it into a cup, and put a little tea leaves in the cup.

Open a book called "Saints of All Nations" and read it. It records the history of saints throughout the ages.

When you come to this world, you need to know more about the history of this world.

Du Ning watched it very seriously and with great relish. While drinking hot tea and eating cookies, he slowly indulged in it.

The history of the Sacred Forest Continent is very similar to that of Blue Star.

There is the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is the Warring States Period.

There is Qin and Han, and there is Wei and Jin.

Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, and Yan and Huang appeared in China.

All the saints have a glimpse of the way of heaven, and hundreds of schools of thought are united.

In that era when many saints were competing, only Confucius stood out, and Confucianism and Taoism flourished from then on.

However, after the Qin and Han dynasties, there was no great rise in Tang poetry, let alone Song poetry.

However, the human race still produces talents in large numbers, and the saints lead the human race, creating glorious centuries one after another, and leaving behind many immortal legends of Confucianism and Taoism.

In order to commemorate the saints of the past dynasties, the saints were enshrined in the temple of the Academy of Literature, and the life stories of the saints were compiled into books, so that future generations can remember the achievements of the sages, inherit the will of the sages, and carry on the past and open up the future.

Before he knew it, Du Ning had read an entire volume of "Holy Miracles of All Nations".

After becoming a top-notch child, both his eyesight and reading ability will be far better than those of ordinary people who are not top-grade.

Read ten lines in one glance without missing a word.

Suddenly, Du Ning's face was startled again. His spiritual mind entered the Wen Palace again and found that there was an extra book above the Wen Palace. The cover said "Holy Relics of All Nations".

As soon as I thought about it, I automatically flipped through the "Holy Relics of All Nations" in Wen Gong, and the words appeared in my mind like a horse watching a lantern, very clear.

"My literary palace is so strange!"

Du Ning was even more happy because he didn't expect that his literary palace could not only store his own works, but also record other books.

It was already evening.

Outside the house, a group of scholars came aggressively and shouted loudly.

"Bold Du Ning! My Zhao Dongcheng is an upright scholar, and you actually tore his literary palace apart!"

"If we don't give our Zhao family an explanation, this matter will never end!"

"Du Ning, come out and speak!"

The Zhao family scholars all had angry expressions on their faces, and as they shouted, they also attracted onlookers from nearby scholars.

Du Ning knew that after he tore Zhao Dongcheng Wen Palace apart, it would be the Zhao family who would come to investigate.

The opponent has a large number of people, so it stands to reason that Duning should avoid it and not have a direct conflict.

But Du Ning then thought again, it was a blessing, not a curse, and it was a curse that could not be avoided. If he tried to avoid it today, then the "Bamboo and Stone" training of heart and courage would have no effect.

Besides, I am already a top-notch child with talents to protect my body. As long as I have no fear in my heart, I can use the "Bamboo and Stone" to exert the power of instant literary boldness.

With a "squeak" sound, Du Ning opened the door and faced the crowd alone.

"How dare you, Du Ning, to come out, you are indeed brave!"

The leader of the Zhao family, a scholar of the eighth rank, looked similar to Zhao Dongcheng and was also older than him. He stared at Du Ning with a pair of angry eyes.

This person is his elder brother——Zhao Donghai.

Du Ning took a deep breath, and the stars of "Bamboo and Stone" in the Wen Palace bloomed, eliminating the fear in his heart.

"It turns out to be Brother Donghai, who is here to make you shine."

Du Ning handed over to the scholar opposite. Even though he knew that the other person was not a good person, Du Ning never forgot the "property".

Zhao Donghai reluctantly returned the gift to Du Ning, and then said loudly: "Master Du, the reason for the collapse of my brother Dongcheng Wen Palace is you. Since you have become a scholar of Confucianism and Taoism, you are also a student of the saints.

, he is an upright scholar, please give an explanation to our Zhao family!"

"An explanation? What explanation?"

Du Ning sneered: "The reason why Zhao Dongcheng's literary palace fell apart is because he fabricated it out of thin air and used Pingnan Wenbao to slander Du's innocence. Du used poetry to prove his innocence and counterattacked. If Brother Zhao is not convinced, he can be promoted to the Supreme Court.

You can report the case to the Yamen, and you can draft an article to criticize Du, but you lead a group of disciples to gather in front of my house. Could it be that you know you are wrong, but you are unwilling to do so, so you have to come here.

Looking for quarrels and provoking trouble?"

The Zhao family scholars were furious.

"Presumptuous!"

Zhao Donghai became angry with shame: "What a Du Mingzhou, no wonder he can write three poems in unison, and he has such iron teeth and bronze teeth. Even if my brother is wrong in all kinds of ways, after all, he is just a gentleman who talks but does not do anything. The dispute over literary names is more important than articles."

You laughed and cursed, but you tore his palace apart. Such a bad behavior is simply outrageous!"

"Then according to what you say, I, Du Ning, am born in poverty, so I should be pointed at and scolded by "The Arrogance of Childhood" for no reason? Should I swallow my anger and have my literary reputation trampled on? Should I suffer unjust injustice in the literary world?" Du Ning

Three consecutive questions.

Zhao Donghai's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "I don't know what grudges you have with Zhao Dongcheng, but I know that the dispute over the literary name is a trivial matter, but you can break the heart of his literary palace. This cannot be justified in any case.

."

"Joke!"

Du Ning retorted: "When I bought "Nanping Wenbao" in the Literary Academy today, I don't know how many Jieyingshe scholars abused me. I counterattacked with "Bamboo Stone", but why was only Zhao Dongcheng the one who was torn apart?

Torn Wen Gong? It’s not because he has evil intentions and harms others and himself!"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Donghai was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He couldn't accept that Du Ning actually accused Zhao Dongcheng like this. This was undoubtedly a shame for their distinguished family.

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"

"Who do you think you are? You are not qualified to accuse me of the Zhao family!"

"No matter how sweet you talk, you can't cover up your evil deeds of tearing apart Zhao Dongcheng's literary palace. You are simply a disgrace to the literary people!"

The scholars in the Zhao family cursed one after another, really wishing to smear Du Ning to his death.

Du Ning was not affected by other people's words. His eyes looked at Zhao Donghai as if they were sharp swords.

This made Zhao Donghai feel inexplicably guilty, and he couldn't help but avoid it.

"If the heart is not straight, the eyes will be dim." Du Ning said.

"Shuzi is rampant!"

Zhao Donghai was furious when he heard this. Du Ning's words come from "Mencius Li Lou Shang".

Originally, "There is nothing good about a human being except his eyes. The eyes cannot hide the evil. If the chest is upright, the eyes will be blurry; if the chest is not upright, the eyes will be dim. Listen to what he says and look at his eyes: How thin is a person!"
The meaning is that there is no better place to observe a person than to observe his eyes, which cannot cover up his ugliness.

If you have an upright mind, your eyes will be bright;

If the mind is not right, the eyes will be dim.

Listen to a person's words and observe his eyes, and his good and evil will have nowhere to hide.

Just now, Du Ning looked Zhao Donghai in the eye, but Zhao Donghai subconsciously avoided it, indicating that Zhao Donghai knew that what he was doing was wrong, but he knew that it was against morality, but he still did it anyway.

Du Ning used the words of Mencius to accuse Zhao Donghai of being evil-minded. He didn't even dare to look him in the eyes, but he had the nerve to raise an army here to hold him accountable. It was simply ridiculous.

"Dou has a clear conscience regarding the collapse of the Zhao Dongcheng Wen Palace."

Du Ning said: "But having said that, if Brother Zhao thinks that what Zhao Dongcheng did is moral and that Du should not justly fight back with fair means, be careful of your literary courage!"

These words were like thunder exploding on the ground. Zhao Donghai turned pale and gritted his teeth.

"Of course Dongcheng is at fault, but you should never split Qi Wen Gong. He is a scholar of my Zhao family, what right do you have to punish him!"

"I didn't punish him, I just acted as a legitimate defense to stop Zhao Dongcheng from continuing to slander. It's like if someone holds a knife and wants to kill you, and you have to fight back in order to stop the other person."

Du Ning said.

"It's nonsense. The two are not the same thing at all. How can they be confused!"

Zhao Donghai said: "If Mr. Du doesn't kowtow to my brother and apologize today, don't blame our Zhao family for being rude to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a storm of talent arose around some scholars, as if they were about to turn into sharp swords and attack Du Ning.

Du Ning's face darkened, but he didn't panic.

"Are you going to take action against a high-quality child?" Du Ning's eyes became even colder.

"We just want to seek justice for Dongcheng, not to mention that the law does not punish everyone. I believe that the prefect will definitely show mercy."

Zhao Donghai smiled and said, although Du Ning is a Confucianist and Taoist, he has no fame, so what if we beat him up?
