Chapter 88 Talent Revealed
The library is indeed a treasure land of Confucianism. As soon as everyone entered, it was like jumping into a sea of books, and the strong smell of ink filled their noses.
The tall bookshelves were arranged neatly like high-rise buildings. Even Su Yu had never seen so many books before. These books were made of bamboo slips and paper. Those made of bamboo slips were relatively older.
Liang Mu introduced them piously, and he knew every type of bookshelf like the back of his hand. It can be seen that this person must have spent all day in the library.
Then Su Yu picked up a book of Analects at random and read it. To his surprise, this book had Xunzi's annotations. Senior Lu Xiaofeng and Jiang Ni also took two books to read, but only Yue Shen seemed to be uninterested in these books and just looked at Su Yu from the side.
In fact, Su Yu likes literature very much. He once learned calligraphy in high school. If it were not for economic reasons, he might have developed in literature.
He had read the book of Analects many times before. This time he read it again and had a new experience. He actually felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Soon, half an hour passed, Su Yu put down the book. It was not early when the few people came. Su Yu said to Liang Mu who was reading a book seriously.
"Brother Liang, let's stop here today. We will come earlier tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, I will still be at the door tomorrow." Liang Mu said hurriedly.
"Okay, thank you Brother Liang." Su Yu nodded.
Then the few people walked out of the library, and suddenly Su Yu stopped beside the pillar at the door.
"This library is a Confucian treasure land. It should be written with couplets at the door. Why don't you have anything here?" Su Yu pointed to the two huge pillars at the door and said.
"Brother Su, you don't know that this place has been empty for nearly a hundred years. Master Xunzi said that there is no suitable couplet in the world that is worthy of the library, and it would rather be empty." Liang Mu said hurriedly.
"Oh? It just so happens that I didn't bring any gifts when I visited Xiaoshengxianzhuang this time. So, Su will show off my ugliness." Su Yu said.
"Uh..." Liang Mu suddenly felt a little confused.
Su Yu waved his hand, and a brush appeared in his hand. Before Liang Mu could react, he jumped up and flew to the pillar, and then started writing.
"No..."
Liang Mu was suddenly shocked and was about to stop him.
"Noisy." The Moon God showed a trace of displeasure, stretched out his hand and tapped him, and Liang Mu stood still.
Soon, Su Yu wrote couplets on both pillars.
"There is a path to the mountain of books, diligence is the path, and the sea of learning is boundless, hard work is the boat."
Su Yu put away the brush and looked at the couplet he wrote carefully. He used official script, and the two words gave people a feeling of great wisdom and foolishness.
Suddenly, the two words emitted white light, and then the whole Xiaoshengxianzhuang shook violently, and an ancient and old voice in the sky began to recite.
"There is a path to the mountain of books, diligence is the path, and the sea of learning is boundless, hard work is the boat." The voice resounded throughout the world, giving people a feeling of enlightenment.
"Huh? Writing a few words has its own special effects." Su Yu finished speaking, waved his hand, and several people disappeared instantly.
"What happened?" The whole Xiaoshengxianzhuang suddenly became chaotic.
Everyone was shocked. Everyone was looking for the reason for the sudden vibration just now and the two poems.
"Master, what was that just now?" Fu Wan and several others also came out.
"There is a path to the mountain of books, diligence is the path, and there is no end to the sea of learning, hard work is the boat." Xunzi was seen stroking his beard and reciting the poem he had just heard.
"Good, good, good." Xunzi's eyes lit up and shouted excitedly.
Suddenly, several people found that many students were all running towards the library. Fu Wan and Yan Lu were shocked and thought it was not good, and then they flashed towards the library.
At this time, the library was already surrounded by people. After Fu Wan and several others arrived, they quickly dispersed the crowd. Liang Mu stood there blankly, and there were two more couplets on the pillar that had been blank for a long time.
"This..." Fu Wan was shocked. He saw that the two couplets were faintly glowing white. If he looked at them for a few more times, he would be trapped in them. Many students standing by were already standing there stupidly, influenced by Su Yu's words and entering a state of enlightenment.
At this time, Xunzi also came here. He looked up and felt that the two lines of words seemed to have magic power. Then he quickly calmed down and became a little more sober.
"Uncle Master, could it be some kind of magic?" Fu Wan asked.
"No, this word is upright and majestic. It is not that kind of evil method. Yan Lu, don't use your power to resist. Try it." Xunzi said to Yan Lu.
"Yes, uncle." Yan Lu understood what Xunzi meant. Then he gave up resistance and looked at the two words again. Then he felt that the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. He returned to the home of his youth. Inside was the young self, who was studying hard. The diligent and serious look made Yan Lu ashamed. He didn't know how many years he hadn't worked so hard to study. The mountain of books has a path, diligence is the path, the sea of learning is boundless, and hard work is the boat. Yes, the sea of learning is boundless, why did he give up studying after only making a little progress? How can this be worthy of the teachings of the saints.
Xunzi and Fu Wan stared at Yan Lu seriously, and saw that his eyes gradually became moist. Xunzi was startled and quickly used his power to interrupt him.
"Fool, don't wake up."
Yan Lu woke up from the illusion immediately, looked at the two people around him, and then said.
"Uncle, brother, this is enlightenment. This couplet can make people understand their true heart." Yan Lu said hurriedly.
Then, Fu Wan walked to a disciple, stretched out his hand to check him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Master, there is nothing wrong with their bodies, but their minds have entered the illusion." Fu Wan said.
"Don't worry about them for now, this may be a kind of luck, bring Liang Mu here." Xunzi said.
Then Yan Lu walked to Liang Mu's side, tapped him a few times, and Liang Mu could move immediately.
"Master, I am guilty." Liang Mu knelt down hurriedly.
"Get up." Yan Lu pulled Liang Mu up, and then the three of them took Liang Mu to the side to prevent him from falling into the illusion after seeing the words.
"What happened just now, who wrote the words?" Yan Lu asked.
Then Liang Mu honestly told Su Yu and the others about the matter, including the fact that Su Yu picked up the pen to write at the end.
"Su Zi? Shen Yu? Good guy, this is a taboo." Fu Wan said after listening. Regardless of whether the name Su Zi is true or not, this Shen Yu is not something that can be used casually, especially the word Yu, which can only be used by the emperor.
"What a magical method, I am afraid that a great person has come to Confucianism." Xunzi sighed.
"Do you think he will come tomorrow?" Yan Lu asked.
"Yes, Master, Brother Su said that he will come again tomorrow." Liang Mu said hurriedly.
"Brother, what do you think?"
"This person must have an extraordinary origin. It seems that you and I will meet each other in person tomorrow." Fu Wan said.
"Alas, Fu Su has not come yet, and a mysterious person has come first. It's true." Yan Lu shook his head and sighed.
"Don't worry, the person who can write such a couplet must not be an evil person, and maybe he can change the current situation of my Confucianism." Xunzi said and looked at the two words again. This time he did not use his power to resist, and soon fell into the illusion.
"Uncle..." Fu Wan was shocked when he saw this.
"Brother, why don't you try it too?" Yan Lu said.
Fu Wan looked at Yan Lu, then nodded, and soon fell into the illusion.
That night, the whole Xiaoshengxianzhuang was extremely lively. All those who woke up after falling into enlightenment seemed to have been baptized, and their whole body was enlightened, and reading books became twice the result with half the effort.
What surprised Xunzi and his companions was that everyone seemed to be able to fall into the illusion only once, and the words would not work after waking up.
"A miracle, it is really a miracle, it is incredible, this is the treasure of my Confucian Academy." After Xunzi woke up, he seemed to be several years younger.
"Yes, uncle, I think that person must be a great Confucianist. Tomorrow, we must entertain him well." Fu Wan showed an affirmative expression.
In order to avoid chaos, Fu Wan had to send someone to block the two couplets with red silk, allowing only ten people to watch at a time, and the rest were not allowed to approach the library. But even so, there were still countless Confucian students waiting in line.
This night, Xiaoshengxianzhuang was destined to be sleepless.
