Chapter 111 Translation of Ancient Proverbs
It can be seen that the third elder has great admiration for Taoist Buyu. Probably because the third elder lacks something, he envies what others have.
After bidding farewell to the third elder, Lu Yang came to Junzifeng again.
Junzifeng is the territory of the four elders. The mountain is elegant and cool, like summer all year round. You can see pavilions and streams everywhere. The bamboos are green and tall. You can tell at a glance that it is a good place for literati to stay and compose poems. Even if the bamboo suddenly starts to say two words As a sage said, Lu Yang didn't even find it strange.
Having seen all kinds of weird things in Taoism, Lu Yang's psychological quality has been tempered to a very strong point.
Lu Yang also saw black and white iron-eating beasts rolling around in the mountains, and a senior brother drinking and having fun, using his pen and ink to create a painting. He then got into the painting and had fun with the people in the painting, which felt very uncomfortable.
The iron-eating beast even humped Lu Yang, almost knocking him over. It was playing with Lu Yang. Lu Yang had something to do now, so he had a good talk with the iron-eating beast, and the iron-eating beast let him go before leaving. Before that, he even gave Lu Yang half-gnawed bamboo.
"Hello, senior brother, where is the fourth elder?" Lu Yang held a half piece of bamboo and stood in front of the painting and asked respectfully. This senior brother is extremely accomplished in painting, almost to the point of confusing the real with the fake, which is very scary.
Brother Hua Dao heard Lu Yang's call and stretched out half of his body from the painting: "Who are you?"
"I'm here, Lu Yang."
Brother Hua Dao suddenly realized when he heard Lu Yang's name: "Oh, I know you, the new Lu Yang, a disciple of Yunzhi."
"... I am the senior sister who accepts disciples on behalf of my master. I am a disciple of Taoist Buyu." Lu Yang corrected his senior brother's mistakes seriously.
"My name is Ji Hongwen. I entered the Taoist Sect in the same generation as my senior sister, and I am the eldest disciple of the fourth elder." This senior brother had no airs and did not have any objections because of Lu Yang's low cultivation level.
"I've met Senior Brother Ji." Lu Yang was surprised. He didn't expect that Ji Hongwen was in the same class as Senior Sister.
He only knew that Dai Bufan was in the same class as the senior sister. He was the oldest among all the disciples. His cultivation level was not much different from that of the elders. The elders had been reassured by his handling of matters. He had a high prestige among the disciples. I didn't expect to meet another one now.
By analogy, this Senior Brother Ji's cultivation level will not be too low.
Big bosses who are not seen in any city or county in the outside world can be seen everywhere in Taoism.
"You want to see Master? Come on, Master should be teaching students." Ji Hongwen floated out of the painting, and with a flick of his finger, another person appeared in the painting.
Only then did Lu Yang notice that Ji Hongwen was not the only one in the painting, but there was also a beautiful woman.
The woman seemed to have walked out of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with a hint of crimson on her cheeks. She was gentle and elegant, with a smile as bright as a flower, and an expressive look in her eyes. Her appearance was peerless, and her clothes were bold and revealing. An innocent boy like Lu Yang would blush after seeing her.
"Haha, does it look good? I drew this. How about I draw one for you so that I can sleep with you at night?" Ji Hongwen teased, and Lu Yang shook his head after hearing this.
He needs to protect his kidney water.
The beautiful woman held Ji Hongwen's arm and looked at him lovingly.
What Lu Yang didn't know was that more people wanted to learn Ji Hongwen's skills than those who wanted to learn the Third Elder's "Six Heaven-Shaking Styles".
Under the leadership of Ji Hongwen, Lu Yang came to the depths of the bamboo forest. There was a private school in the depths. In the private school, there were the four elders who were role models, the barbarian who could not be carved from rotten wood, and passers-by A, B, B, and D who listened carefully to the lectures.
The fourth elder is explaining the interpretation of the ancient text: "...Looking southwest of the pool, there are fighting and twisting snakes, and the light and death can be seen. The canine and tooth shapes on its shores are different from each other, and its origin cannot be known... Come to Mangu, you can translate, 'The canine and tooth shapes on its shores are different from each other. What does 'unknowable' mean?"
Mangu lowered his head and thought about it seriously, then said in a positive tone: "There are two dogs fighting on the shore. I don't know why."
The fourth elder silently closed the ancient book, rolled up his sleeves, and took out the ruler.
Just when he was about to slap the back of Man Gu's hand, he remembered the sage's teachings - to teach without distinction and teach according to aptitude.
He could see the end of Mangu's hard study, and he was a good boy. This translation should have been an accident. I asked him a simple question, and if he answered it correctly, there would be no need to hit him. It was a step up.
"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind. What does this sentence mean?"
According to historical records, when the Dayu Dynasty fell apart 100,000 years ago, the princes and nobles of the Dayu Dynasty stood up, held high the banner, reunified the world, and restored the rule of the Dayu Dynasty.
People believed in the idea of bloodline very much and believed that the bloodline of the Dayu Dynasty was inherently noble. The opinions of the princes and nobles won over a large number of people's hearts.
But the ancestors of Emperor Xia, who were deeply poisoned by the princes and nobles, knew how rotten they were at their core. They were aloof, greedy for pleasure, ignorant of the sufferings of the people, and the difficulties of cultivation. They were all watered by the treasures of heaven and earth from childhood, and their cultivation levels soared, and they were almost a god. The materials and land are precious. Even if such people can establish a new Yu Dynasty, they will soon rot.
As a wise man, the ancestor of Emperor Xia raised his arms and shouted, "Would princes, generals, and prime ministers rather have their own kind?" This became a famous saying that has been passed down forever.
Even Man Gu, who was born in a barbarian tribe, had heard this sentence and greatly admired the courage of Emperor Xia's ancestors.
"What this sentence means is, princes, generals and ministers, do you have the talent?"
The whole room burst into laughter.
The fourth elder no longer hesitated, picked up the ruler and slapped the back of his hand, grinning from the pain.
Man Gu was stunned and didn't understand where he was wrong. The ancestor of Emperor Xia provoked him in front of the princes and nobles. This was such a huge courage.
Isn't that what this sentence means?
Lu Yang stood at the door and listened to the class silently, observing three seconds of silence for Man Gu.
Ji Hongwen shook his head and laughed when he saw this scene: "I don't know what Junior Brother Mangu thinks. As an ancient barbarian, he neglected to learn the secrets of the third elder, and instead became the master's disciple. He has been beaten a lot this year. .”
"But I found that when he came back from the mission this time, his mind was brighter than before. Do you know why?"
Lu Yang shook his head, how could he know.
"By the way, there seems to be some pattern behind the fourth elder's beating on the back of his hand. Is it my imagination?" Faced with Senior Brother Ji's suspicious eyes, Lu Yang quickly changed the subject.
Senior Brother Ji looked at Lu Yang in surprise: "You read that right, this is actually a method of stimulating the bloodline, but it is too painful and few people can endure it. Master is using this method to activate Junior Brother Barbarian Bones' ancient barbarian bloodline .By the way, don’t tell Junior Brother Mangu about this.”
Lu Yang nodded.
"You can find him when Master finishes class."
After saying that, Senior Brother Ji took the beautiful woman's hand and left.
Classes are always very long. Lu Yang listened at the door. The fourth elder spoke for a quarter of an hour. Lu Yang felt that several hours had passed.
Finally, the fourth elder finished class and met Lu Yang, who liked to ask questions.
"You ask, who is Lao Jiu, who is immoral, does not do good things, and is full of bad intentions?"
Lu Yang: "..."
Thank you, I seem to already know what kind of person Master is.
