Eight miles west of Jimen, Linzi City, Fuzi Mountain.

Lin Ning really didn't expect that except for being larger in scale, Jixia Academy was actually not much better than his Qingyun Village in terms of luxury.

"Is this the intention of being content with poverty and enjoying the way?"

Lin Ning and Jiang Taixu walked side by side, standing in front of a not-so-luxury or even simple gatehouse, pointed to the lined huts inside the door, and asked with a smile.

Today he truly felt that Jiang Taixu's aura was indeed as Huang Honger said, and it was not stable.

It looks glorious, but even a rookie like Lin Ning can feel a sense of vain.

What he was thinking about was not Jiang Taixu's safety, but that the Li family was really finished.

When Jiang Taixu's foundation is unstable, he must be sensitive to hidden hostility. At this time, those who want to step on him will definitely receive a thunder attack.

Lin Ning felt quite happy even though he had no intention yesterday.

Although Jiang Taixu had problems himself, he was indeed as Huang Honger said, with a deep cultivation and did not seem to be angry at Lin Ning. He smiled and said, "What Lin Langjun said is exactly, this is the profound meaning of the masters of all generations to hone the disciples of the school."

Lin Ning nodded and said, "This is somewhat similar to my copycat. Our copycats are all like this."

Jiang Taixu: “…”

Lin Ning laughed and said, "Just kidding, I just want to see the Master. I'm a little nervous. I'll relax after jokingly so as not to be speechless when I see the Master in a while. It's not intentional blasphemy of the Academy."

Comparing Jixia Academy with Qingyun Village is a serious provocation for devout children like Jiang Taixu.

After reluctantly accepting Lin Ning's explanation, Jiang Taixu comforted him: "The Master is extremely kind and polite, and he is unparalleled in kindness. Langjun Lin really doesn't need to worry and restrain him."

Lin Ning smiled and said, "The kindness and kindness of the sage are not for me, but for the kindness of the people in the world. It is for the kindness of the kindness of the people in the world. Brother Jiang, what you send is the great kindness of the Master, the great kindness of the Master."

As soon as this said, the bell suddenly sounded on Confucius Mountain.

Jiang Taixu's face, which was originally slightly confused, suddenly changed, his eyes looked at Lin Ning in horror, and said in a lost voice: "This holy Taoist bell has not ringed for twenty years, and today it has risen for Langjun Lin!!"

Lin Ning looked at him with some envy and said, "It's not for me, but for you, Brother Jiang. How kind to the Master treats you?"

The disciples of the academy who had come to see Master Lin Ban were puzzled when they heard this. How could this holy Taoist bell ring for Jiang Taixu?

However, a few white-haired old men looked at Jiang Taixu's breath that gradually calmed down, with complex eyes.

If the Master was willing to treat them like this, they might not have been expected...

Jiang Taixu took a deep breath and bowed to the mountain.

Then he turned around and gave Lin Ning a half-hearted salute.

Lin Ning avoided it and returned a bow. Then he saw Jiang Taixu's heart firmer in his eyes. He stretched out his hand at him and said, "Please."

...

"Zi Yuan, do you understand what Little Friend Lin said just now?"

Master, with white hair and white beard, cloth robe and hemp shoes, although he was ordinary, his eyes were clear under his white eyebrows, and his face was thin and smiling. He was kind and kind as an old man in his family.

However, I don’t know if it’s preconceived, Lin Ning always feels that this kindness still treats the people as straw dogs.

Compared to Huchar, it is even more terrifying.

He bowed together with Jiang Taixu and said, "I dare not be friends with Master."

The Master just smiled faintly, nodded and looked at Jiang Taixu again.

Jiang Taixu smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I understand what Lin Langjun said, but... I don't know how to start."

The Master asked Lin Ning: "My friend Lin thought, where is the difference between Ziyuan?"

Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "Brother Jiang's difficulty lies in the fact that knowledge and action have not been integrated."

"Unity of knowledge and action?"

The Master's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Many people say that my friend deceived the world and stole his reputation. He said that Ziyuan knew people in his knowledge and his journey that day became a laughing stock in the school. Today, people should know that there is a world in his heart. Knowledge and action are one, and the four words tell the way of Confucianism to learn. Can I learn from me?"

When Lin Ning heard this, he looked at Jiang Taixu with a slightly changed face, and then bowed and said, "I dare not hide it from the Master, and what I said to Brother Jiang last time was not something that the boy himself realized."

The Master looked more and more satisfied, nodded and smiled, "I wonder who you are asking?"

Lin Ning shook his head and said, "It's absurd to say that these remarks are all in their dreams. Not only that, most of them are medical skills and martial arts. But the boy has never seen the appearance of teaching his mentor..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Master's expression finally changed slightly. He stared at Lin Ning with his eyes tightly. Lin Ning did not avoid it, but looked at the Master calmly.

He would not be smart enough to think that his situation could be hidden from the world.

The man in the village has a limited vision and is in a rough stage of knowledge and learning. His nonsense words from scholars can barely be fooled by them.

But if those words are shown off in front of the world, they will be very stupid.

And his changes must not be hidden from others.

Therefore, instead of making people suspicious, it is better to say it calmly, and you can retreat to advance.

As for whether it can win the trust...

Newton, who was engaged in physics, finally believed in theology, let alone an old Confucian man?

"The boy was also afraid, but later he found that there was no harm, so he could only accept it calmly. I saw Hucha before, and I wanted to ask about it, but in the end I thought that the person who is not my race would have different hearts and dare not act rashly. Now I see the Master, but I don't have such worries, so I asked Master, why did this strange thing happen?"

After hearing Lin Ning's words, Jiang Taixu was stunned.

The Master's face also became very solemn. When he reached his realm, he had actually reached the end of humanity.

But why didn't he want to go further?

But, I never know where the road is...

It's even less clear whether there is still a road ahead.

I heard what Lin Ning said today, although I did not believe it, the various strange things that seemed to have happened to Lin Ning can only be explained in this way.

If this is true, if someone can preach in his dream, the realm of this person will definitely be far beyond that of him.

The Master was not afraid of this, but was happy.

At least it shows that there is still something feasible ahead of him.

The master looked at Lin Ning and smiled and said, "Since you already have a mentor, I can't take away any disciples. Little friend Lin, Ziyuan knows that it is difficult to integrate his actions. Do you know where the roots are?"

Lin Ning shook his head and said, "The Master is aware of the Confucian and Taoist path. What I learned from the younger generation is limited, but in fact it is not enough for Brother Jiang. The reason why I can see something is probably because of the identity of an outsider. But I don't know how obstructed Brother Jiang is trapped in. But..."

"But what?"

The Master looked at Lin Ning and asked quietly.

Lin Ning smiled and said, "I may have a solution, but I don't know if it is useful."

Jiang Taixu's eyes, which had been a little dim, were bright in an instant, but the Master's expression remained unchanged. He looked at the bizarre young man in front of him and asked, "How should I do it?"

Lin Ning smiled and said, "My younger generations of the Academy never work behind closed doors, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles. But I personally think that traveling thousands of miles is not just a journey. Instead, you should put down your posture, observe the people's sentiments, and even treat yourself as a commoner, so that you can understand the hardships of people's livelihood and develop true benevolence. Combine what you learn, see, and experience, and finally achieve the unity of knowledge and action. This process may be long, but it will also be solid."

After hearing this, the Master smiled and said, "Ziyuan worships you half of the teacher. It is indeed his opportunity. Since my friend has such a good method, in the future, Ziyuan will accompany me to see and experience the most painful places. My friend is taught by heaven and man, and it is also a blessing for Confucianism to learn one or two. Let's go together, I will not bring a protector to this time."

Lin Ning: “…”

Jiang Taixu: “…”

Lin Ning looked at the Master's back speechlessly, feeling distressed: Has my copycat become a nursery? The key is that there is a demon girl in the family, who is born and deadly enemy with this Jiang Taixu! If something happens, who will be responsible for it? Could it be that Jiang Taixu is exiled?

In addition, why did Master not have a way to resolve Jiang Taixu's symptoms? I think it was probably because of what he learned from his gods, or the gods behind him...
