Chapter 209 Visit Ruyi and Enter the Academy(2/2)
In the courtyard, Zhang Sui and Zhang Tian chatted for a while about spiritual issues. Not long after, they heard someone calling from outside, inviting them to come over and have a meal.
Mrs. Liu was very happy about Wenjing brought by Zhang Sui, and Wenjing's mouth was also very sweet. After the meal, Mrs. Liu was reluctant to let him go.
Mrs. Liu said to the two brothers Zhang Sui: "This kid Wenjing is much more sensible and well-behaved than you two were when you were young. You two were really heartbreaking when you were young!"
The two brothers Zhang Sui looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
After dinner, Zhang Sui took the opportunity to check the bodies of Liu and Liu Rui. Maybe it was because they stayed in a place with strong spiritual energy like Zhang's Mansion, but the two of them were in surprisingly good health.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "As long as you brothers stay in harmony, my mood will be good and my health will be good. You don't have to worry about me when you are out."
Zhang Sui nodded, handed the mulberries from the Ruyi Realm to the girl beside him, and said, "These mulberries have some nourishing effects. Mother, you can eat a few of them every day. It will be somewhat beneficial to the body."
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "You are serious!"
Zhang Sui took Wenjing back to his own small courtyard in the mansion. Seeing that he was still a little restrained, he smiled and said: "Little junior brother, this will be your home from now on. I will send you to the academy, and you must follow the teacher."
Study hard. I'm often not at home. If you have time, come back and visit my mother for me, you know?"
Hearing this, Wen Jing nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, senior brother. Your mother is my mother. I will come here often when you are not at home!"
Zhang Sui touched his head happily.
A night of silence.
The next morning, after breakfast.
Several people sat in Zhang Tian's carriage and headed all the way to the academy.
Along the way, Wen Jing was very curious about the outside environment, lying down at the window and watching non-stop.
Zhang Sui also learned some information about the academy from Zhang Tian.
I heard that my old friend Huang Jian became a disciple of Mr. Qi, who entered Taoism through painting. He has now become a Taoist and is practicing outside with a group of classmates from the painting academy.
Zhang Tian said: "Your friend is also a strange person. When others learn to draw birds, animals, fish and insects, they can learn how to paint birds, animals, fish and insects in one month. However, he has been learning for two full months and is still a little confused.
Mr. Qi was originally going to expel him from the art academy, but unexpectedly he showed off his extremely exquisite meticulous painting of ladies, which astonished everyone. He declared that he would only paint beauties in his life and would not touch vulgar things, which made Mr. Qi very angry.
But in the end, he entered Taoism through this, which can be regarded as shocking a group of people's jaws. It's just the beauty in his works, haha, don't mention it!"
Zhang Sui thought about the style of this second brother Huang, and thought to himself: "As expected of the second brother Huang, he has not insulted his surname!"
Talking and laughing all the way, we soon arrived at the foot of the academy.
At this time, the academy was divided into upper courtyard and lower courtyard.
The people in the lower house are ordinary disciples or young children who are in the process of enlightenment.
Once you reach the age, have the aspiration to follow the Tao, or have outstanding qualifications, you will go to the ladder of inquiry.
Those who pass can naturally stay in the upper courtyard, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and engage in various practices.
The upper courtyard in the sky looks like a fairyland.
There are two ladders connecting the upper courtyard and the lower courtyard. One is naturally the ladder to ask the heart, and the other is called the ladder to enter the world of mortals.
If you need experience, just take the second step. But that doesn't mean you can just take it casually. If you are not good at studying and have not reached a certain standard, it will not be easy to get down.
Of course Zhang Sui didn't need to take the ladder to ask questions when he came here, but looking at Wen Jing with a curious face, Zhang Sui patted his head maliciously and said: "Wen Jing, the teacher I found for you is in heaven.
I can take you directly up to find him, or you can walk through the ladder of inquiry that everyone must walk.
But let me say it before. If I take you up directly, you will be suspected of using the back door, and you may be looked down upon by other students.
You make your own choice, should I take you up, or should you go up by yourself?"
So what else is there to say? Although the literary path is small, my self-esteem is still quite strong. I did not hesitate to choose to walk the Ladder of Inquiry. Besides, it’s not like I have never walked through it before, so what should I be afraid of?
Zhang Sui said happily: "You are indeed my little junior brother. Come on, I will take you there."
There are no guards around the Wenxin Ladder. This is also the rule set by Mr. Meng. As long as anyone is willing to walk, regardless of identity, gender, or age, they can walk.
In the beginning, there were quite a few people who came here every day to try their luck. As time went by, people came to understand that it would not work if they wanted to cheat and cheat.
Along the way, I didn't meet anyone I knew.
Seeing Wen Jing stepping onto the ladder to ask the heart, Zhang Sui was about to fly up with Zhang Tian directly.
Zhang Tian was still a little worried, so Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Don't worry, the threshold of my Ruyi Sect is not lower than that of Junshan Academy. If he can become my junior brother, there is merit. Let's go up and wait for him."
