Chapter 553: The sky is limited, but learning is endless
Jiang Lianzhu was amazed when she visited Tianya Academy for the first time.
For some reason, as soon as she entered here, she inexplicably felt an indescribable aura. Later she thought about it and realized it was the literary aura.
It makes people feel comfortable, relaxed and at peace, just like the feeling that ordinary people have when they are in a vast library and are surrounded by the breath of thousands of words.
From all directions.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a wall of relief paintings. It depicts not just one person or one scene, but a wide range of phenomena: the alternation of the sun and the moon, ancient sacrifices, banished fairies and ladies, ordinary people, old men and babies, crops and farming, and the four seasons...
The meaning is profound and the carving is amazing.
In the very center of the relief, the words "Tianya" are engraved.
These two words may seem ordinary at first glance, but when you look at them again, it is as if something is deeply attracting you, making you unable to help but indulge in it.
The world may have limits, but learning has no limits.
It is as if I can hear the voices of thousands of students studying in the morning, as if my thoughts are wandering to the ends of the earth, above the full moon, as if all worldly appearances are false, and only learning and knowledge can have a long history and be passed down for thousands of years... The sun and the moon shine together.
"Wife, wake up?" Liao Jiu pulled Jiang Lianzhu who was in a daze.
As soon as Jiang Lianzhu entered the academy, she was attracted by the relief wall and couldn't move.
His eyes looked bright and sparkling, but he didn't look like he was possessed by a demon.
Jiang Lianzhu came back to her senses and asked, "Who made this relief painting? It's amazing."
Liao Jiudao said, "It's been many years, and there's no historical evidence. It's said that it was painted and carved by the elder masters of each generation. My teacher said that this relief has many functions. First of all, the picture is exquisite and the carving is superb. Anyone who sees it can't help but admire it. It's so impressive! Secondly, this relief has the function of suppressing evil spirits, making evil spirits dare not approach the academy, and blessing the academy with long-term fortune."
"Ah? Really?" Jiang Lianzhu was surprised.
Liao Jiu whispered, "So, when I saw you standing still just now, I thought you had intimidated my wife and scared me. When we go out later, we'll go through the side door."
Following Dabao's constant worry about Jiang Lianzhu being suppressed, Liao Jiu also joined in.
Jiang Lianzhu laughed, "It's okay, you guys are the ones who think too much. However, I do feel a lot of things in this relief..."
Liao Jiu was curious, "What is it? Tell me! My teacher said that those who can gain insights from relief carvings are extraordinary people."
Jiang Lianzhu scratched her head. "How should I put it? I just felt a vast aura, perhaps a literary one. It was as if I heard the sound of reading, saw the rising sun, saw the ends of the earth, the mountains and rivers, and... finally, I seemed to see the sun and the moon shining together!"
Liao Jiu was still digesting what his wife had said, his expression a little complicated.
Suddenly, a short old man with a white beard appeared beside him.
The old man held soy milk in one hand and fried dough sticks in the other.
As he ate, he asked, "I don't understand! You can hear the sound of reading, see the rising sun, feel the literary spirit, and see the mountains and rivers. I can understand all of this, but why did you see the sun and the moon shining together in the end?"
Jiang Lianzhu herself was puzzled. "I don't know. Maybe it's the strength of the relief! Old man, are you the teacher here, or are you here to attend the dean's open class?"
The old man hummed, "I'm here to give the dean's open class!"
Liao Jiu then coughed beside him and said, "Teacher, this is my wife Jiang Lianzhu. Wife, this is my teacher Tan Tao."
Jiang Lianzhu made a mistake. She didn't expect that the old dean was so free today since he had a lecture. He came with them to see the relief paintings and was so down-to-earth, eating soy milk and fried dough sticks while walking.
"Hello, Dean. I am honored to meet you, Dean."
The old man took another sip of soy milk and choked on the fried dough stick. "So you are Jiang! I've been preparing a lot of words to scold you for being shameless, but now forget it. You can actually perceive the relief vision. You are an interesting soul and a capable person. What school of thought are you from?"
"Dean, you misunderstood. I am just an ordinary person and I don't have any master." Jiang Lianzhu explained.
The old man raged, "Bullshit! You saw the sun and the moon shining together. Are you from the Wu Sect? Are you from the Darong Nation? Are you a spy for our Da'an Nation?"
Jiang Lianzhu black line...
Liao Jiu's expression changed slightly. "Teacher, please take it easy. My wife was born and raised in our Da'an country. Her hometown is Shamen County, Chubei Prefecture, Da'an country. We met there. She is really an ordinary person."
Dean Tan munched on a fried dough stick and asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Jiang Lianzhu nodded quickly, "Exactly. I came here today specifically to attend your open class, Dean. I've always admired your knowledge and style."
Tan Tao said, "Okay, okay. If you can appreciate the relief carvings of our academy, you are destined to be with us. Tell me your name, and you and your wife will go to the VIP table!"
While speaking, he was still looking at Jiang Lianzhu, with a look that contained both admiration and confusion.
Still a little lost.
I prepared a lot of curse words, but in the end, I couldn't say them.
She doesn't look like a country woman at all; she is clearly an outstanding young person with a promising future!
"Thank you so much, teacher. I didn't expect that today I'm here because of my wife's good fortune. I come to the open class every day, but the teacher has never arranged for me to sit in the VIP seat..."
Tan Tao gave him a cold look. "You're so tall, you can just stand anywhere. Why do you need a VIP seat? Isn't that a waste of space? And you haven't been to my class since you became that damn governor. If you weren't here with your wife, you probably wouldn't even remember me. And you're still attending classes? I can teach you a piece of barbecued pork better than you can!"
Liao Jiu...
Jiang Lianzhu covered her mouth and wanted to laugh.
Liao Jiugong sent Tan Tao off, "Teacher, the lecture is about to start. I won't bother you to prepare for the lesson. We will find a seat by ourselves."
Tan Tao had finished eating the fried dough stick in his hand. He wiped his lips, straightened his back, and put his hands behind his back, and the noble and virtuous demeanor of a scholar immediately emerged.
"Let's go. Do as you please."
"Take care."
Dean Tan took two steps with his hands behind his back, then paused.
Turning back, he said, "Liao Jiu, you have some vision. I misjudged you before."
Liao Jiu smiled widely, "Yeah, thank you for the compliment, teacher."
Jiang Lianzhu didn't understand. After the old dean left, she whispered to Liao Jiu, "What did your teacher mean?"
"My teacher is praising you, saying I had good taste in marrying you. Before, she heard people say bad things about you and scolded me. But today, when we met for the first time, you caught her eye..."
