Long Live The Emperor!

Chapter 829: 7. The Academy Pointing at the Chess Game, Breaking the Sword Move in the Moonlit Night (2 in 1)

The waterfall was like a silver chain, falling into the cold pool.

The water foam scattered, and the pearl shone brightly.

In a quiet and secluded place behind the peach forest, an old man and a young man stood with their sleeves down.

The old man was wrapped in a robe that had been washed until it had turned white. There were bark-like wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyebrows were also slightly wrinkled, but his eyes were very bright.

This brightness carried a hint of ” transcending the secular world and not caring about the secular world “, causing those who were used to being mellow to feel a sense of panic as if there was a thorn hidden in their hearts. This was because all the worldly methods they were familiar with were destined to be useless against this old man.

He could not get close to her, could not please her, and could not flatter her. He had his own world in his heart.

The youth was gentle.

It was neither worldly nor detached, but all-encompassing.

Even without a word, the old man had already begun to understand that this young man was extraordinary.

However, although he was extraordinary, he was still a rising star after all. How could he dare to say “teach him” without thinking?

Although it was a good thing that a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger, it was another matter if he did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Teach him?

Wasn’t this the biggest joke in the world?

The old man was prepared to teach this youth a lesson to prevent him from going astray and wasting this unpolished jade.

Therefore, he asked another question,”Know the age, seniority, and nobility.”

“Does the Dao determine age, seniority, nobility, and inferiority?” Xia Ji asked gently.

The old man was stunned.

Xia Ji continued. ” Where the Dao exists, where the teacher exists. How can we know the order of their ages? ”

The old man was stunned for a moment before he slowly said three words,”How?”

There was no beginning or end to these words.

However, Xia Ji said directly, ” If you don’t get angry, you won’t start. If you don’t get emotional, you won’t start. If you don’t get angry, you won’t start. If you don’t get angry, you won’t start. If you don’t get angry, you won’t start. ”

As soon as he said this, the old man immediately froze like a statue. He stood quietly on the withered grass and repeated this sentence over and over again in his mind. He felt that the theories he had originally hidden were inferior to this sentence.

“How?” he asked.

Xia Ji said, ” Learning and thinking complement each other. Learning without thinking is lost; thinking without learning is dangerous. ”

The old man’s breathing quickened as he hurriedly asked, “”Master He?”

“You can learn new things by reviewing the old,” Xia Ji said. Three people walking together, I also have a teacher.”

The old man smiled and shook his head. ” If there are ignorant and incompetent people among these three, or people who live in vain, can they also be my teachers? ” Can you make a general statement?”

Xia Ji said lightly, ” Choose the good and follow them. Choose the bad and change them. When you see the good, you should imitate them. When you see the bad, you should reflect on yourself. Why can’t I be your teacher?”

After he finished speaking, the old man felt a ringing in his head. The voice of the youth in front of him was like the voice of a saint that fell from the nine heavens. It repeated in his mind over and over again, making him feel that he had lived in vain for so long.

He originally thought that he had already hidden the universe in his heart, but he did not expect it to be so much worse.

“Choose the bad and change it. When you see the bad, reflect on yourself …”

The old man could not help but mutter.

This was the first time he had encountered such a shock, and also the first time he had encountered such a person. For a moment, he was at a loss.

But soon after, a sense of joy welled up in his heart.

Because he began to feel that some of the prejudices, shackles, and shackles in his heart were actually shaken by this young man’s words. They were not far from being completely shattered.

And the clarity of one’s thoughts meant that one’s strength could also rise with the tide.

The old man broke free from his thoughts and suddenly raised his head to look at the youth in front of him.

The young man’s expression was calm, and his eyes seemed to hide mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and the stars.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he looked so young, the old man would feel that he was a child in front of this person.

Thinking of this, the old man felt refreshed. He took three steps back and bowed to Xia Ji with his hands folded in front of his chest. He said sincerely, “”This old man is Ouyang Mu. Thank you for teaching me, little mister.”

Unity of knowledge and action…

After saying this, the shackles of seniority in his heart were instantly shattered, and many new ideas emerged in his mind.

The old man was overjoyed.

He didn’t expect to have such an opportunity when he went out fishing today.

Xia Ji smiled and nodded.

When the old man saw him like this, he only felt that this youth was enveloped in a layer of mysterious halo.

The vast majority of young people in this world would probably not even be able to speak when they saw him.

Some of them forced themselves to do some exaggerated performances to please the public in order to leave some impression on him.

Only a few students could barely be neither servile nor overbearing.

However, this youth was not anyone he had seen before.

Xia Ji knew that even though he could convince the old man with a few simple words, he still lacked some persuasiveness, so he said, “”Dean Mu, do you know how to do hand-to-hand negotiations?”

Ouyang Mu’s eyes lit up and he smiled. “”I know a thing or two.”

“Me too.” Xia Ji nodded.

Thus, the two of them tacitly walked to the four-corner pavilion not far away.

In the middle of the pavilion was a stone square table with 19 rows on it.

The two of them sat down and began to place their pieces.

The old man held black, and Xia Ji held white.

The white chess piece moves behind, and the black chess piece moves ahead.

If it was any other time, Ouyang Mu would have to let go of a few pieces before he started to play chess with a junior, let alone go first. However, not only did he not let go, he even made the first move against this young man…

This made the old man from the Tingxue Academy feel strange.

The two of them played very quickly…

Xia Ji would never make a mistake.

When he first came to Great Shang, he was already an expert in calligraphy and had defeated the Confucian Sect’s Eight Wonders teacher Yan Xun.
