Chapter 110 I tricked Liu Xian into becoming lame
“Ding ding ding~”
Liu Xian began to play the zither in his hand.
Pleasant notes were played from the ten-stringed harp.
Yo?
Zeng Anmin and the chubby prince were both stunned.
The two looked at each other subconsciously.
This kid is good.
Plays well.
Liu Xian was now completely immersed in the musical world he had woven.
He closed his eyes in ecstasy, his small hands dancing on the piano like butterflies.
The only sound at the scene was his piano.
Everyone fell silent.
Suddenly, the style of the music changed drastically!
The sound of swords rang out.
Master Li, who was sitting in front of the zither, suddenly looked up and looked towards Liu Xian.
There was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
At this moment, Liu Xian seemed to have entered a mysterious state.
A light blue aura of righteousness seemed to be spreading out from his body.
However……
“Ding~”
Before the momentum reached its peak, Liu Xian's face turned red.
"Cough cough cough~"
He was coughing violently.
The piano music also stopped abruptly.
"Alas~"
A short sigh sounded, and Li Lianting's voice slowly rang out: "
If you want to understand the path to joy, you must calm down and not rush things. You are only sixteen years old, so you should calm down and read more."
The blush on Liu Xian's face faded slightly, and he bowed deeply to Li Lianting:
"That's what the Master taught me."
"Um."
Li Lianting slowly stood up and looked at everyone with a hint of seriousness in his eyes:
“If you want to understand the Dao of ‘music’, you must also hone your own literary energy, spend every day with the qin, and integrate your literary energy into the principles of music. Once your majestic literary energy is solidified, breakthroughs will be a natural outcome.”
Having said this, he slowly stood up and looked directly at the students:
"Liu Xian has just entered a state of enlightenment, which shows that he is indeed gifted in musical theory."
"Although I have achieved enlightenment, my mind still lacks some literary talent, so I wasted this opportunity."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the students looked at Liu Xian.
Liu Xian also showed an expression of regret on his face.
The "sudden enlightenment" of the Six Arts is something you can only encounter by chance!
If he had enough righteousness just now, he could have relied on this sudden enlightenment to condense the Confucian and Taoist Dharma in one fell swoop and break through to the fifth level!
Alas, it’s the time and the fate.
The students couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Li Lianting took slow steps, speaking in a long voice:
“But if you want to condense the Dharma of “joy”, you must enter the realm of sudden enlightenment.”
"There's also a method of gradual improvement, where you gradually study the principles of music and find your own path."
“When I can create a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages through my own path, I can also embody the Dharma of ‘joy’!”
His voice was very soft, but it sounded extremely serious in the ears of every student.
The students all nodded thoughtfully.
Even Zeng Anmin seemed to have realized something.
"But the prerequisite for all of this is the foundation of righteousness within the body, so the path of cultivation still requires more reading, more observation, and more understanding."
"Let's stop here for today."
After saying that, he slowly stood up and walked out.
Then a servant came and picked up the piano on the table and followed Li Lianting away.
…
Zeng Anmin found that what he heard in this music class was more or less useful.
At least he knew two ways to realize "joy".
The first one is like the willow string just now, when playing the piano, one enters into enlightenment.
If you can fully understand the music theories of your predecessors and combine them to create your own path, you can condense the Dharma of "music".
The second is to explore the path of "joy" step by step, and after walking your own path, create a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages. You can also condense the Dharma image with that masterpiece.
Neither of these methods can be achieved overnight.
It requires opportunity and time to polish.
After music theory class.
Zeng Anmin and the chubby prince came to the school cafeteria.
There were not many students at that time.
The location was quickly found.
The quality of the food in the Imperial College is excellent.
One of them was fat and the other was a warrior, and they ate very quickly.
After dinner.
The two of them walked towards the hall together.
I just happened to meet a familiar face.
It was the willow string that had been a hit in music theory class today, but only halfway through.
Liu Xian looked extremely uncomfortable at this time. He stood in the corridor of the hall and complained to himself. His wailing voice attracted the attention of the students passing by.
Obviously, he was still upset about missing an opportunity for enlightenment in class.
"well."
Another long sigh.
Zeng Anmin's heart moved. He stood in the corridor and raised his voice:
"A good man should be determined to serve his country. It's just a chance for enlightenment, why are you sighing so much?!"
His voice attracted Liu Xian's attention.
Who the hell is barking here?
So it’s not the opportunity you lost!
Liu Xian was already unhappy, and when he heard this voice, he subconsciously became angry.
When he saw the person coming, his expression froze slightly.
It turned out to be me, Zeng Liangjiang, Brother Zeng.
That's okay.
On the first day he entered school, he learned Zeng Anmin's true identity from Wang Zhi.
He is someone you can't mess with.
"well."
After seeing that it was Zeng Anmin, Liu Xian forced himself to suppress his tearful expression.
"Brother Zeng, please."
He was not in the mood to talk about it.
Thinking that he was blocking Zeng Anmin's way, he just bowed and made way.
please?
What are you asking for?
I'm here just for you.
Zeng Anmin chuckled, his eyes looking straight at Liu Xian, he returned the greeting and said loudly:
"Zeng Anmin, courtesy name Quanfu."
Um?
A trance flashed in Liu Xian's eyes.
He looked at Zeng Anmin somewhat bewilderedly.
Is he trying to... make friends with me?
For a moment, a deep feeling of flattery surged from his heart.
"Liu Xian, also known by the courtesy name Fengnian, greets Brother Quan Fu."
Liu Xian quickly saluted Zeng Anmin.
"Brother Fengnian, why are you so self-pitying?" Zeng Anmin came to Liu's side with a smile and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
"You are a genius in Confucianism and Taoism, so why do you care about the gains and losses this time?"
Although Liu Xian was a genius in Confucianism and Taoism, he was only sixteen years old after all.
He sighed, his eyes a little melancholy:
"If you waste such a great opportunity, you won't know when you'll get it again."
"A man in this world should be able to take on responsibilities and let go! Even if one opportunity is lost, there will be countless more waiting for us in the future! Brother Fengnian is only sixteen years old, why can't he become a great scholar in the future?"
Zeng Anmin was very serious, with encouragement in his eyes. He reached out and patted Liu Xian's shoulder hard:
"Brother, I believe in you!"
Um?
Liu Xian's heart seemed to be touched, and he looked up and looked straight at Zeng Anmin.
The throat rolled.
"Brother Quan Fu..."
At the same time, the pride that a genius should have in his heart was also aroused.
yes!
I, Liu Fengnian, passed the imperial examination and became a juren when I was only sixteen years old!
After only one year of studying Confucianism and Taoism, he even reached the seventh level!
How could someone like me be defeated by a setback?
"Brother Quan Fu is teaching me, Feng Nian will learn from me."
Liu Xian bowed deeply to Zeng Anmin.
"Haha, admitting one's mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue!"
Zeng Anmin helped him up with a smile.
The little fat prince was stunned watching from the side.
A hint of confusion flashed in his round eyes.
Why do you value this kid so much?
"To be honest, I had to go through countless failures before reaching the Sixth-Rank Gentleman Realm. Furthermore, a few days ago, when I was learning one of the Six Arts, 'Archery,' I also failed once, and didn't take this opportunity to condense my hair form and break through to the Fifth Rank."
Zeng Anmin smiled and comforted Liu Xian: "But I am very open-minded."
"In my opinion, the struggle between realms is like floating clouds in the wild, not as real as a glass of fine wine."
The corner of the prince's mouth twitched.
You haven't broken through to the fifth level.
But you didn’t fail!
He was the third eyewitness present at the time.
"Oh?" After hearing Zeng Anmin's words, Liu Xian's feeling of loss disappeared instantly.
Feeling much better.
Even the sixth level of enlightenment has not been broken through.
I'm only a seventh-rank rank, so it's normal!
He had no doubt about Zeng Anmin's words.
After all, Zeng Anmin and Zeng Liangjiang's names are not only a sensation in Jiangnan.
Students in Beijing Middle School have also heard of it.
Although I had already guessed that his Confucian and Taoist level was not low, I was surprised to hear him admit that he was only at the sixth level.
Liu Xian was still shocked.
"Brother Quan Fu's words are truly insightful and thought-provoking. I feel deeply ashamed for being so impatient and concerned about gains and losses just now."
"hehe."
Zeng Anmin chuckled and said, "It's okay. There are many days ahead. When there's another way forward, I'll help you along."
After saying that, he gently patted Liu Xian's shoulder.
Now, Liu Xian was truly flattered.
The meaning of Zeng Anmin's words even shocked him.
He knew that he came from a merchant family.
I didn't expect Zeng Anmin to not discriminate against him...
"Brother Quan Fu, to be honest, Fengnian is just from a merchant family... I couldn't stand the sarcasm and ridicule of the students at Qilin Academy, so I chose to come to the Imperial College."
Liu Xianjue felt that he should not hide his identity. He looked at Zeng Namin's explanation with a wry smile.
"Haha." Zeng Anmin waved his hand nonchalantly.
"All things are inferior, only reading is superior. Whether you are a merchant or an official, in my opinion, studying is not about your background, but about yourself."
this……
Liu Xian looked straight at Zeng Anmin.
Those eyes were full of emotion and surprise.
"Brother Quan Fu..."
There was even a hint of sob in his voice.
“When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher. I will choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones.” Zeng Anmin smiled and held Liu Xian’s hand:
"Brother Fengnian, I actually have something to ask you."
this……
Liu Xian almost burst into tears.
Brother Quan Fu is the first person who does not discriminate against his background!
And that's quite philosophical...
Three people go together there must be my teacher……
"Zeng Liangjiang, his reputation is truly well-deserved!!"
Liu Xian looked at Zeng Anmin with extremely hot eyes.
Seeing his look.
Zeng Anmin's heart immediately calmed down.
Done.
This guy has probably already given me his whole heart.
You need to add some more ingredients.
"Haha, the same goes for my dear brother Fengnian. If you don't understand something in the future, please ask me. If I don't understand something, I will go and ask the teacher. After that, I will tell you."
Zeng Anmin smiled slowly, his eyes full of sincerity.
Liu Xian's heart skipped a beat.
Corporal Lixian!
These four words seemed to be tailor-made for Zeng Anmin.
In his eyes, Zeng Anmin at this moment seemed to be radiant with light.
That is a manifestation of the holiness of heaven and earth.
"I have been adrift for half my life, yet have yet to find a wise master. If you will not forsake me, I will accept you as my sworn brother!"
Liu Xian's lips trembled as he bowed deeply to Zeng Anmin.
Forehead……
Zeng Anmin wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, the boy was talking about his sworn brother.
If he were my godfather, there would be no point in chatting about this.
"If you can have this heart, I will also be willing to do so."
Zeng Anmin nodded with a smile, then looked at Liu Xian seriously and said in a serious voice:
"To be honest, I haven't achieved any success yet. Today, I'd like to ask Brother Fengnian for some advice on what I should prepare for the imperial examination."
oh?
Liu Xian's eyes lit up slightly, and then a very friendly smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, you don't have to be so polite. The imperial examination is actually very simple."
"As everyone knows, the imperial examinations of our Great Saint Dynasty are divided into the Illusion Array Examination and the Calligraphy Examination."
"I am not talented, so I am leaving the imperial examination hall in that illusion array."
"Oh?" A gleam of light flashed in Zeng Anmin's eyes.
He never thought that Liu Xian could achieve the title of Juren at the young age of sixteen.
What he walked on turned out to be the Illusion Array Imperial Examination.
"It just so happens that next autumn will be the new Autumn Examination."
When talking about the imperial examination, Liu Xian's face was filled with confidence. His voice was very slow, but extremely confident.
"The imperial examination system has several titles, which are ranked in order: Tongsheng, Gongsheng, Juren, and Jinshi."
"Brother, as a member of the Imperial College, you don't need to take the examination for Tongsheng. What you need to pay attention to right now is Gongsheng, or what the common people call Xiucai."
"But this requires a recommendation from the Imperial College."
At this point, Liu Xian glanced at Zeng Anmin and continued:
"If I can obtain the title of Gongsheng this year, I can pass the imperial examination next autumn and become a Juren."
"I see."
Zeng Anmin nodded slowly, then looked at Liu Xian and asked:
"So, if I want to enter the Illusion Array and take the Imperial Examination, what should I pay attention to?"
Liu Xian's eyes lit up slightly.
He had never imagined that his brother Quan Fu also wanted to take the same path of the magic array imperial examination as himself!
"To be honest, the Illusionary Array Imperial Examination has a lot of categories, and the questions that appear in the array are all random. I was lucky to get a question about 'calculation'."
Liu Xian grinned and said, "My foolish brother comes from a merchant family. He may not have any other talents, but he is better than ordinary people in the art of 'calculation'."
"Oh." Zeng Anmin nodded to show his understanding.
He then looked up at Liu Xian and asked, "How can I get a recommendation from the academy?"
It’s simple. Just ask your father to tell the doctor at the Imperial College.
But Liu Xian dared to think this but didn't dare to say it out loud.
"If you want to get a place yourself, you must participate in the selection program jointly organized by the Imperial College and the Qilin Academy to obtain a place."
Zeng Anmin frowned: "Choose a school?"
"Well, if you want to participate in the Illusion Array Imperial Examination, you need to have a strong grasp of the Six Arts of a Gentleman."
The prince finally got a chance to speak at this time. He looked at Zeng Anmin seriously and said:
"This is also why many students choose to begin studying the Six Arts of a Gentleman before they even reach the Confucian or Taoist level."
"Oh~"
Zeng Anmin nodded suddenly.
Is it for this illusion array imperial examination?
