Young as Jade Chapter 60 Returning to the Clouds
The cold sun hangs in the clear sky, and the light passes through the pines and cypresses, making people feel cold. The complexity of the mood makes the originally long journey farther away, and what keeps coming to mind is the indifferent smile and sound, which makes every breath like a knife.
Although Qin Mufeng was "blind and kind" before, he was definitely not a passionate person. The warmth and warmth of the human feelings he encountered when he returned home this time reflected layer by layer in his heart. When Zhang Nanxing was in danger in front of him, he felt powerless and powerless. He was like a scoop of clear water pouring into a boiling oil pan, and it was out of control.
The gate is not very far away, but the mountain road that gradually climbs is less than one meter wide. Walking ten meter and one bend, you can see the mountains three hundred meter away, and the road is rugged and winding, and ancient trees beside the road are towering, sometimes covering the sky and sun, and waterfalls are turbulent. When you move here, you are just confused about where you are and how many distances you have. You need to uphold the belief that you can reach along this deserted road.
This journey can be compared with Wang Anshi's "Records of Visiting Baochan Mountain" in Wang Anshi's "Ambition and strength, but not being lazy, and even if it is dark and confusing and has no objects to meet, it cannot be reached." When it comes to this sentence, it can also be compared with the conditions in which Qin Mufeng's journey needs to achieve the goal of "clear virtue and cultivate the mind".
[I drove to Guimen some time ago. The mountain road was still fresh in memory. I often made a sharp turn at any time. I was not familiar with the journey. However, when I arrived at the academy and looked at the sea of clouds, what flashed through my mind was the sentence "The world is magnificent, strange, and extraordinary, and it is often dangerous and far away." Then I roared in the mountains and forests. The moment of pleasure and leisure was refreshing and leisurely, and I felt that this trip was not empty. The ancient heritage and light of Lumen Academy made people feel the desire to "enter school".]
Although Qin Mufeng was good at traveling through the forest and was used to walking on mountain roads, he felt tired on the journey. He walked along the snake-like post road through the desolation of hazel bushes. When he suddenly realized his sight, there was a plain in front of him. Under the cold moonlight and the light of fireflies, the pastoral homestay was neat and elegant, and the barking of dogs in the distant mountains made the night more peaceful Ninghe. At this moment, he only carried some rice stems from the haystacks and slept on the ground.

The next morning, the farmer was working at sunrise. Qin Mufeng asked about the path and headed to Lumen Academy. In less than half an hour, a martial arts field was suddenly revealed in front of him, standing on the stage, with the heroic spirit of "striking soldiers on the battlefield", and his blood was pouring on his chest. Look at the academy again, carved beams, painted buildings, and black tiles flying tiles. The stone steps on the left were upright and went straight to a platform gate. On the door, a black plaque with four gilded Qin-style characters "Lumen Academy" were placed high, and the ancient charm of books was filled with mist.
Lu Guishu, once a professor in Wuzhou, the supervisory censor, and the promotion official of Henan Prefecture. After marrying the Jiao family of Shanzhi, he retired and moved to Lumen after resigning. Lu Gong, who was born in a "liquid family and a prominent family in the Central Plains", was upright and had always had lofty ambitions. Facing the fierce iron hoofs of the Jurchen nobles, and facing the Southern Song Dynasty that was peaceful and peaceful, he joined the ranks of the ranks of war-oriented factions without hesitation. Therefore, he offended Qin Hui, the master of the ranks of the peace-oriented faction and was impeached. Then, he resolutely resigned from the position of Supervisor Censor and retired to Lumen Mountain (Guimen Mountain was known as Lumen Mountain in ancient times) that was famous for its green mountains and green hills and clear streams. At that time, ancient trees were towering and wild grass was growing, and the sound of deer sounds were heard from time to time.
In the first year of Chunxi, Lu Guishu worked hard to establish Lumen Academy, promoting the long-cherished wish of "establishing one's mind for heaven and earth, establishing one's destiny for the living people, inheriting one's unique knowledge for the past sages, and opening peace for all ages."
On the right side of the academy, there is a building built with stones. On the stone forehead of the Genglou arched cave, the two regular script characters "Guimen" are cyan and vigorous, which was written by Zhu Xi in the seventh year of Chunxi, the Song Dynasty.
In the seventh year of Chunxi, when Zhu Xi went to Sheng to provide disaster relief, he visited Lu Guishu at Lumen and gave lectures at Lumen Academy for three months. During this period, because there was "famous people and good people are worthy of being noble", the Lu family also wrote the words "prime people" for "famous families and noble families are worthy of being noble". Since then, Lumen Academy has been visited in a constant stream of visitors, and word of mouth has been passed on, "lumen" has been renamed "guimen", but the academy is still named "lumen".
The building here was built by Lu Zujing, the son of Lu Guishu. It has a drum and a bell inside to warn villagers in time and danger. It also has various ancient weapons for villagers to practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies, and when there are disturbances among foreign people, they will protect their families and people.
Lu Zujing, whose courtesy name was Taicheng; he was determined to serve as the country's military commander, and served as the Huainan Pacifier, specializing in garrisoning and maintaining social order. Since Huainan and Huainan in Anhui were divided into Song and Jin, Huainan was already under the border, and the pacification was very serious. Zujing's management of the border was "strong and powerful, and the robbers were shocked" and the society was peaceful. Soon he was old and returned to his hometown to fulfill his filial piety. Emperor Ningzong of Song gave him titles and titles for three generations, was rewarded with territorial grain and taxes, and was granted the construction of the Yanwu Genglou. Since then, he has set up academy for both civil and military cultivation, setting a precedent.
When I looked outside the Genglou, I felt that it was dark. When I entered the stage, there was a unique cave. The patio several feet outside looked bright. Then I saw that the academy was originally a four-story two-story corridor wooden building. The lower floor was a stone-built base. The stone walls were high, with vines hanging over it and moss like oil. The corridor above was full of ancient charm, the windows and fences were vicissitudes of ancient times, and the stone arch holes were divided into "Return to the clouds" and "Dust is separated", and the Confucian literary spirit was fully displayed. "One door and two foreheads" were called "One door and two foreheads" and had a unique style. You can read the inside and outside connection to "Dumen are separated from the dust, and the noble door is returned to the clouds". The meaning is profound and intriguing.
Walking along the steps and stepping out of the back cave, the surging clouds and mists came to the face. Looking into the distance, I saw a sea of clouds surging. The faint wind in the valley raised a wave of clouds and waves hitting the beautiful mountains on the opposite side of the "shore". It was spectacular. Among the sea of clouds below, there were loud singing, laughter, chickens crowing, dogs barking, coming in, echoing among the vast mountains.
At this moment, I look at the mist and rain in the river and listen to the pine wind in my ears; in the next moment, clouds surround the peaks, and the peaks emerge from the clouds. In a moment, the light smoke and mists are all in my eyes. The so-called grand scenery of the fairyland is less than one or two. I recall the four words "return to the clouds" and "dual separation", which is very unique and transcendent, and the artistic conception of becoming an immortal is no wonder that the saints of ancient and modern times have followed the past and Lumen Academy is famous all over the world!
"This place is full of spiritual energy, which is great!" Happy, a proud voice sounded in my ears, and I turned around and looked around, but there was no one.
"Who!" The voice was just right in my ears, but even though Qin Mufeng calmly searched, there was no breath everywhere. He was a little scared. The arrogant tone made Qin Mufeng really disgusted. "Is this a ghost?" Qin Mufeng said to himself.
"Hahahaha, it's not bad, there's a ghost, but you won't see it even if you die!" The voice was still joking, as if he treated Qin Mufeng as a grasshopper in his hand and played it with it casually, which made Qin Mufeng even more angry, and his eyes instantly became cold.
"Boy, it's not fun to get angry!" - "Who are you?" Qin Mufeng was sure after searching. This voice was definitely not from his own eyes, but why did his face and expression seem to be in his eyes, and what was even more mysterious was that he could find the doubts in his heart?
