Cultivation Of Immortals Begins With A Funeral Scripture

The giants all bowed their heads and remained silent. Isn't this forcing Zhang Fei to embroider flowers? What normal person studies these little tadpoles all day long? Wouldn't it be better to have more prey with that time?

Ye Wudi had already figured out the nature of these people, and knew that hard-hearted persuasion would be ineffective, so he had no choice but to take the edge of his sword, and if he didn't eat the soft one, he would go for the hard one. Pointing to the words on the shrine, he said:

"You don't know each other? Then I'll read it to you one by one:

These are the family regulations inscribed by the ancestors of the past dynasties. There are two rules in total. On the left side are:

Illiterate people are not allowed to be patriarchs.

On the right it reads:

Those who don't listen to the patriarch's words are not worthy of being a clansman! "

The six instructors outside looked at the words "Heaven, Earth, King, Parent, Teacher" on the shrine, and at the giant kneeling on the ground with a bewildered face, and sighed:

"It turns out that's how blindness comes from opening your eyes!"

Suddenly a faint voice sounded:

"Grandpa, the number of characters on the two sides is the same. Why do you have two more characters on the right side when you read it? I can also write the word "No". It doesn't look like this."

"The writing on the shrine is in classical Chinese, and the patriarch's grandfather has translated it into vernacular for you to hear. The original text is:

Those who are not learned and talented should not pass on the patriarch's legacy,

Those who disobeyed the patriarch's order were immediately expelled from the village.

Do you count the words to see if they are the same number? There are also words such as non, non, and violation, which have different meanings. "

Seeing that the old patriarch was picked on by his grandson, Ye Congwen didn't know how to smooth things over, so he immediately took the words to fool him.

Ye Rulang counted with his fingers for a long time before shutting up in doubt.

Ye Wudi almost revealed his secrets, everyone was not good at reading and writing, but he was very shrewd when picking people's faults. Say less and make less mistakes, say more and make more mistakes, just leave a few words to Ye Congwen, this kid is obviously better at fooling people than me.

"According to the rules of our ancestors, Ye Congwen and I are the only ones who are eligible to be the patriarchs of the Huaye clan. I am nearly 70 years old, and it is time for me to live a leisurely life. Over the years, I have been teaching Ye Congwen how to read and write:

Four books and five classics, classics and history collections, Feng Shui metaphysics, medical divination and astrology, even the apprentice camp Daoyin technique, the demon hunter and the body training magic technique. , How did he become a one-of-a-kind body forging warlock in just one year?

I won’t talk nonsense, anyway, all my legacy has been passed on to Ye Congwen, he will know what I know, and I won’t know what he doesn’t know. In the future, if you don’t understand anything, just ask Ye Congwen patriarch, and don’t bother me at all times.

Now, welcome the new patriarch to speak to you with applause. "

The giants applauded one after another, although they felt that the patriarch's legacy was too childish, but Ye Congwen's Wen Neng could settle accounts with a pen, and his martial arts could single-handedly overthrow one hundred and eight Jia Mansion Grand Great Masters, and the entire Iron Tower Village I really can't find anyone who is more powerful than him.

Even Ye Rulang thought that Ye Congwen was more suitable to be the patriarch of the Huaye clan than himself, clapping his hands harder than anyone else.

Ye Congwen stood up and realized that he was shorter than a giant! Immediately realized that this situation must be changed, the giants are condescending, and after a long time they will despise themselves, and over time they will ignore their own words.

When I think of the class in the apprentice camp, the apprentices are sitting on the stone benches, raising their heads and listening to the teacher preaching and teaching with a hungry attitude. Immediately he ordered:

"The light in the ancestral hall is too dark and the place is too narrow. Let's go outside and talk. Everyone should bring a stool to sit in the yard. I will announce something important later."

The giants were used to being unrestrained, facing the ancestral spirit card, as if dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at them, and when Ye Congwen asked everyone to go to the yard outside, they ran faster than rabbits one by one.

When the giants were all sitting on the stools, Ye Congwen came out holding a genealogy tree that was a foot high.

The giants were full of doubts, and they all speculated:

"Could it be that Xiao Congwen really plans to teach everyone to read and write?"

Some giants who were able to play with Ye Congwen immediately became interested, and racked their brains to think of some reasons to tease or refuse.

Ye Wudi stood on the sidelines from a distance and watched with cold eyes, secretly sighing that Ye Congwen is still too young after all, how could these old fritters listen to your lectures honestly, and read and read with you with peace of mind? He couldn't help shaking his head, it seemed that he would have to do it by himself later.

I saw Ye Congwen put the thick family tree on the stone table, and said confidently:

"It is said that there are three fires for a new official to take office, and there are more than 300 people in our Tieta Village, and I am now the head of the clan who manages more than 300 people.

Do as the Romans do, so I will follow the example of the officials and lords and light three fires.

The first fire: Everyone in Tieta Village obeys the order. Starting today, no one is allowed to go hunting in the mountains. "

As soon as Ye Congwen's words fell, the giants below whispered to each other, and even the Mu tribe standing outside frowned. What do you eat if you don't hunt? Many people bumped the wooden bean sprouts with their arms and asked quietly:

"Little bean sprouts, what is your Ye Congwen doing?"

Wood Bean Sprout was also at a loss, but Ye Congwen had a lot of tricky ideas, and he never fought an uncertain battle, and no one knew what he wanted to do until the end.

The giants held back the doubts in their hearts, Ye Congwen was the patriarch for the first time, and they all gave him a bad face, and they all chose to wait and see what happened.

"Second Fire: All people in Tieta Village under the age of 20, regardless of gender, start reading and writing wholeheartedly from today."

Now all the giants couldn't sit still anymore, and the couples murmured in small voices, discussing and recommending someone who can speak well, has a good temper, and can chat with Ye Congwen to persuade Ye Congwen. There were more than a hundred people talking about it, and it was still impossible to determine the candidate.

"The third fire: People of the Huaye and Leaf tribes who are over 20 years old listen to the order. From today on, you will assist the Mu tribe to build simple wooden houses with all your strength, and build them along the small river in Tieta Village. As long as it is flat, you will give it When repairing a small wooden house, the action should be fast, and the house should be as small and simple as possible, as long as it can accommodate people."

Still building a house? Still fully assisting the wood carpenters to build houses? Is it built for ghosts to live in? At this time, not only the giant was full of questions, but even the carpenter of the Mu clan was dumbfounded and at a loss, pushing the wooden bean sprouts out to ask questions.

The giants discussed for a long time, and finally decided that Ye Jiehua would come forward to persuade Ye Congwen. Ye Jiehua rubbed his hands and asked:

"Xiao Congwen --- the patriarch of Congwen Xiao. Our Tieta Village has always had a clear division of labor. The giants of the Huaye tribe hunt and earn money to support their families, while the Mu tribe builds houses, builds boats, grows vegetables, and takes care of their children. They have cooperated tacitly for so many years, and life is going smoothly. .

It’s not that the big brother is talking too much, now we don’t hunt or grow vegetables, and we all focus on reading about four uncles and five catties, cat shit chicken, can that thing make money? Can you fill your stomach? "

"That's right, we have more than 300 people in Tieta Village, and our Huaye and Huaye tribes don't enjoy meat, and we don't have dinner without wine. You don't mean to make us eat vegetarians and lose weight?"

Seeing that Ye Congwen was not angry, the giants boldly joked.

The six mentors secretly thought something was wrong. They felt that Ye Congwen was too impatient. They should take it step by step, step by step, and put forward all the conditions at once. How could these giants who were already resistant to obey?

Unexpectedly, Ye Congwen returned to the stone table instead, opened the genealogy book, opened the first page, and took out a copper coin. Then ask:

"what is this?"

"Copper coins."

Everyone was puzzled, so they had to answer honestly, but it was only a penny, and there was a look of disdain in their eyes.

Turning to the second page, Ye Congwen took out another silver coin, showed it to everyone, and asked:

"What is this?"

"A silver coin."

Ye Jiehua couldn't figure out Ye Congwen's intentions, so he still chose to wait and see what happened.

Ye Congwen opened the third page, took out a gold coin, and asked again:

"what is this?"

"A gold coin."

Ye Congwen turned another page, took out a gold bar and asked:

"What is this?"

"Of course it's a yellow gold bar."

Ye Jiehua's eyes gleamed, and he swallowed habitually.

"Congratulations, you answered correctly."

Ye Congwen no longer played tricks, tapped the thick family tree with his fingers, and said earnestly: "The ancients said:

The book has its own gold bar, and the book has its own sorghum wine. In the world, hunting and farming is not the only way to support a family. Those who can read and write can also earn a living, and they may earn more than selling coolies.

Seeing your dismissive expressions, do you think I, Ye Congwen, are fooling you? "

Seeing the giants shaking their heads, Ye Congwen obviously didn't agree with own's statement, and glanced around at the crowd, and saw that there were a group of children surrounded by Mudou Sprout, who were her Little Sisters.

Suddenly he had an idea in his mind, and said with a smile:

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I will let you see the power of words now."

Ye Congwen put the copper coins, silver coins and gold coins in a row, pressed the gold bars on top of the three coins, took out a blank paper and pen, and said to the crowd:

"Have you seen these things? As long as you are a villager in Tieta Village, you will be rewarded with copper coins if you write the word "copper coin", you will get silver coins if you write the word "silver coin", and you will get gold coins if you write the word "gold coin". , I will reward you with another gold bar!

I do what I say! "

There was an explosion below, and everyone was whispering and talking, as if they didn't believe that such a good thing happened to them. What a joke, it costs only a few hundred coins to kill a wild boar, and at least a hundred wild boars for a gold bar. More than two hundred hunters are all out, and it takes ten days and eight days to do it, and it has to be the peak autumn harvest season.

A gold bar is rewarded for writing a few words, isn't it pie in the sky?

The giants were so excited that they stood up one after another and looked around, but unfortunately, none of them dared to go on stage. Everyone knows what gold, silver and copper look like, but if you want to write it out, you can't be sure.

Ye Congwen asked again and again, but the giants of Huaye and Huaye never dared to write on the stage, so they could only look at the Mu clan. Suddenly, a little girl with a horn pierced said timidly:

"I can write all three things."

Ye Congwen knew that when Dalbean Sprouts took her little sisters, in order to prevent them from fighting and hurting their bodies, she once taught them to learn to write, and whoever completed the handwriting first would be rewarded with candies.

Wood Bean Sprout's family is poor, and there are many sisters. It is thanks to the giant that he can eat a good meal. Where can I get some change to buy candy for the children?

So these children tried their best to learn to write in order to eat candies. After a long time, the oldest Little Sister could write hundreds of commonly used characters.

"Wooden bamboo shoots, come up and write."

Muzhusun knew that Ye Congwen would be the fourth brother-in-law of own in the future, and bought a lot of new clothes and candy for herself last time, she smiled shyly, ran in small steps, and rushed to the stage in a gust of wind.

Picking up a pen, I wrote stroke by stroke, with an extremely serious attitude. One copper coin can be exchanged for one candy, one silver coin is one thousand pieces, and one gold bar is worthless.

Ye Congwen waited for the wood and bamboo shoots to write the six characters, then picked up the piece of paper, and invited the six mentors:

"Six instructors, please come over and help me do an appraisal to see if these six words are written correctly? To save someone from saying that I am cheating for personal gain."

The six mentors accepted the invitation, passed through the crowd, walked in one by one, picked up the piece of paper, read it carefully, and then exchanged views with each other. Finally, Qin Cheng, who was upright and upright in appearance, announced:

"The strokes are neat and the handwriting is clear. Although the size is different, it is not easy for an eight or nine-year-old child.

all right! "

Ye Congwen immediately stuffed all the gold bars, gold coins, silver coins and copper coins into the palm of the wooden bamboo shoot, touched his head and said:

"Use this money to buy candy and eat it. In the future, you will work hard to read and write, and you will have a chance to win more rewards!"

The wooden bamboo shoot held the money tightly, nodded like a pounding garlic, and ran outside under the envious eyes of everyone. This girl has a piggy bank herself, and she wants to save it to buy candy later.

Seeing that the wooden bamboo shoots had won a huge sum of money, the children of the Mu clan all followed, ready to beg for candies.

The giants of Huaye and Huaye clans had no shortage of candy to eat, so they naturally dismissed begging for candy, but the gleaming gold bar was indeed attractive, but it was a pity that the girl Mu Zhuzhu won it away. Immediately, the giant said sourly:

"Writing six characters will reward you with a gold bar. More than 200 of us are studying hard to read and write. I'm afraid you won't be able to get so many gold bars, little patriarch!"
