He Came From The Forbidden Land, Waving His Sleeves To Write About Immortality

After finding the village mentioned by the young man, Lu Yuan did not stay long, took the girl around and left.

The fertile fields full of seedlings, the crowded teahouses, the fragrant steamed bun shops on the roadside... all these make the girl who has never entered the mortal world full of curiosity.

But Lu Yuan never stopped, so she could only suppress the curiosity in her heart and follow her master's steps closely.

This journey lasted for half a month, and their footprints were all over the surrounding villages, but they never stopped for a moment.

The girl knew what the master was looking for.

He was looking for her home.

When he met the first village, Master asked the locals if there was any family that lost their daughter more than ten years ago.

But the answer she got surprised the girl.

In the summer of more than ten years ago, a heavy snowfall that had never been seen in ancient times suddenly came. The weather was freezing and countless families were torn to pieces in the bone-chilling cold.

Maybe this is the reason why he was abandoned?

The girl didn't know if what she was thinking was correct, but she didn't care no matter what the facts were.

The memory of her childhood has long been blurred, and she can't even remember what her parents looked like.

She grew up with her master since she was a child. She has no emotional connection with her biological parents except blood, so she has no obsession with finding a home. Wherever her master is, that is her home.

But for some reason, the master never gave up and searched for half a month.

She has not practiced for half a month, and her cultivation is still stuck at half-step to immortality.

This made her a little anxious.

Master's words have always been engraved in her mind. Senior sister cannot accompany Master because of her cultivation. She doesn't want to be like Senior Sister. She wants to always be by Master's side, so she must practice hard.

"Sister, brother, the time I wasted is enough for me to step into the realm of immortality. That is a life span of one hundred thousand years."

"If you can find a home, no time is wasted."

The girl didn't know why her master was obsessed with finding her home. She leaned closer to Lu Yuan again and said with a hint of coquettishness, "But I don't want to find it at all."

"You want to practice?"

"Hmm, I want to enter the realm of immortality as soon as possible."

"You haven't entered the mortal world, you don't know what is mortal and what is immortal, and how can you become an immortal."

"B-but as long as you knock on the door of heaven according to the cultivation method...brother, you can become an immortal!"

"Cultivation of one's character after being born in the world, and cultivating one's mind when entering the world. Only by combining the two can you have the slightest chance of becoming an immortal. If you have only one body of cultivation, how can you be called an immortal even if you can make the world hang upside down."

"Huh? I don't quite understand."

Lu Yuan didn't reply, he slowly stopped.

The girl was confused and followed her master's gaze. She saw a simple and large wooden house located in the green woods, only a hundred steps away from the two of them. There was a faint sound of a child reciting.

"Sir, brother, what is this place?"

Even though half a month has passed, the girl is still a little uncomfortable with the new title. She always feels that the word "brother" is a bit difficult to pronounce. She is not as smooth as the "master" who has been called "master" for more than ten years, and is not as friendly as the latter.

"School, a place where young children study."

"Reading? What is reading?" The girl has never read a book in her life, and has only listened to what her master said.

"Forefathers had feelings about the world and wrote it down on bamboo slips with pen and ink, which is called a book; future generations read it and use the insights of their predecessors for their own use, which is called reading."

The girl nodded as if understanding, and then said: "Then are we here to study?"

Lu Yuan glanced at her and walked straight to the school without answering.

When the girl saw this, she quickly followed him.

The school is very dilapidated, and it must not be able to protect it from the wind and rain. Fortunately, the sun is shining brightly today.

"There is a saying in the book: In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. Do you have your own understanding?"

A middle-aged scholar was wearing shabby clothes and holding a ruler in his hand, standing in the lecture hall. Although he was middle-aged, his body was stooped, his beard and sideburns were dyed white, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deep.

His old appearance was incompatible with his age, making him look rather miserable.

But when he was teaching, there was a strange light in his eyes.

Lu Yuan stood outside the window, quietly watching the old-looking middle-aged scholar teach, and did not come forward to disturb him.

The girl stood beside him, looking at the school with curiosity.

Her eyes stayed on the middle-aged scholar for a long time, and she felt a strange feeling in her heart. She didn't know what this feeling was.

She knows very few emotions, and they are all related to her master.

There are more than a dozen children sitting crookedly in the school. The youngest is only four or five years old, and the oldest is already eleven or twelve years old.

A dark-skinned girl about ten years old stood up, but did not answer the middle-aged scholar's question. Instead, she asked in a childish accent: "Master, is this the words of a sage?"

The Master asked, "Does it matter whether it is spoken by sages or not?"

"Of course it's important! My parents all say that when you read, you should only read the books of sages. What is not said by sages is mostly fallacies."

A major feature of Master's teachings was that he only taught the words in the book and did not talk about the person who wrote the book. This also caused many children to be confused when they went back to be tested by their parents, causing these parents to belittle the Master.

Most of the questions in the examination are: Who wrote the article you learned? Can we understand the life of the sage who wrote the book? Can I recite the entire text?

And these are things that the Master never told or asked them to do.

The master smiled when he heard this and said: "Whether this sentence was said by a sage and which sage said it, I will tell you these questions after the lecture is over. Now you just look at this sentence and think it is right." ?”

A boy about seven or eight years old stood up immediately.

"I think this sentence is wrong!"

"Oh?" The smile in Master's eyes grew stronger and he asked, "What do you think is wrong?"

Without thinking, the boy pointed to the back of the school and said angrily: "He is not kind at all. He robbed the candied haws a stick my parents bought for me yesterday!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw the youngest boy sleeping on the table.

Everyone knows him, he has no name, everyone calls him Goudan.

Goudan has no parents and has a naughty personality. He often fights with them and snatches food countless times. He even treats the school where everyone is studying as his sleeping place, so everyone hates him.

Therefore, many people stood up and accused Goudan.

"He scratched my hand!"

"He rubbed his nose against me!"

"He stole my big meat bag!"

…

The noise of a crowd of children woke up Goudan from his slumber.

Seeing that everyone was criticizing him, he immediately bared his teeth and faced everyone with a fierce look.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

After everyone was quiet, Master continued: "What about him? Are there any examples?"

"Yes! She won't play with me!"

"Xiao Liuzi peeked at me peeing!"

"You even stole my coins!"

For a while, the scene became noisy again, and everyone blamed each other.

Snapped!

The sound of the ruler colliding gently with the podium cleared the noisy atmosphere.

Everyone sat upright and looked at the Master again.

When the Master saw that everyone was quiet, he said, "So everyone thinks that the saying 'human nature is inherently good' is wrong?"

Many children thought for a while and nodded. There were also some who disagreed, but they were not very knowledgeable and didn't know how to argue.

The Master shook his head and said, "If you only read this sentence, it must be wrong, but there is another sentence after it."

"What is it?"

Everyone was curious.

"Sex is similar, habits are far apart." Master slowly said the second half of the sentence.

"Master, what does this sentence mean?" a child asked.

"It means: Everyone is born with good nature, but although their natures are similar, the acquired habits are very different due to different personal experiences."

Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, he was about to use the students in the school as examples to demonstrate, but unexpectedly he caught a glimpse of Lu Yuan and the girl standing outside the window.

With just one glance, it was difficult for him to look away.

His eyes were completely focused on the girl next to Lu Yuan. To be precise, he was focused on the cinnabar mole between the girl's eyebrows.

His vision gradually blurred, his whole body trembled slightly, his lips wriggled, but he couldn't say a word.

The girl noticed his gaze, and the strange feeling that existed in her heart became stronger. She was a little uncomfortable and immediately hid behind Lu Yuan, avoiding the master's gaze.

After the girl's figure disappeared from sight, the master slowly adjusted his emotions.

After he dismissed the children present, he took a serious look at Lu Yuan, who had completely blocked the girl's figure.

The other person's face was ordinary, not very handsome, but pleasing to the eye, but his eyes were particularly strange, and there seemed to be a lot of things hidden in the seemingly calm eyes.

He just looked at Lu Yuan quietly and said nothing, because he didn't know where to start and he was timid.

"In the beginning, human nature is inherently good. This is what Confucian saints said. Later generations compiled it into a text to enlighten young children. Although human nature is mentioned, it is only to introduce the importance of education. What is said may not be true. If today's teaching has not been interrupted, Master is Do you want to prove that human nature is inherently good or human nature is inherently evil?”

It was Lu Yuan who spoke. His eyes were as calm as ever and his tone was calm. It was hard to tell whether it was a question or a question.
